    Letter to: The Editor, The Western Morning News, Plymouth

    5 October 2005

    Dear Editor

    The meaning of pressure on ministers

    Voice of the West Country 3rd October 2005.

    Let us look at the high earning power of the City. Is any of that money earned or merely won?

    How can anyone in the City earn money other than by using their insider knowledge of high finance to gamble on the money markets with a guarantee of winning.

    With winning ways they can use the existing money system to beat the workers hands down.

    Is there a single minister anywhere employed by the Crown, who does not qualify for cleansing.

    What is the power bestowed on the financiers other than buying power? How can any minister, over power buying power, other than changing the system, which feeds such power to the wrong people all the time.

    Industry and enterprise should be the bedrock of honest decent living everywhere. There was nothing else in the South West until invaded by financiers, Eddie George amongst them. No such bedrock exists in the City of London. Not even a smell of it.

    Tax incentives proffered to the financially coddled to keep them onside, are as you say, rewards given to the rich and to the speculators. Speculators are 100 per cent parasites and yet they are treated like Royalty or better.

    Whoever heard of a Government that reversed tax rules that coddled the Golden Goose.

    The Western Morning News with its consistent arguing for shoring up affordable housing stock, is naive in its hope of nobbled ministers, exerting enough pressure to even raise the dust in the corridors of financial power.

    The tax system, under the existing power structure, will never ever handover anything within the reach of the wealthy to local people.

    We need to know and understand, that whosoever creates and issues the currency, has supreme power and is above ministers and above the law. We also need to know and understand, that our currency is issued as credit by private financiers.

    We live in a financial dictatorship.

    We need to wake up and realise that what is not popular with financiers is forbidden by the existing power structure.

    Ministers do have the option of exposing the truth and wresting power from the financial oligarchy and then heeding your wishes. But until then your words are meaningless.

    It is indeed time to put a cap on this financial free for all, that now exists. One sector of economic life, the private financiers, who create and issue our currency as credit, are impacting on local services, industry, the infrastructure, on wage levels and the demographic make-up of our towns and villages. The impact is now so severe and is becoming more so, it cannot be allowed to continue.

    The Government must act, but we are all too aware that it will be powerless to do so. But if the grass roots say "no, enough is enough", we shall have an economic renaissance. Real power lies dormant with the grassroots. As Editor of the Western Morning News, the bestest provincial newspaper in Britain, you could lead a bloodless revolution and restore power to where it belongs. In a Government of the people, by the people, for the people, giving them the sole right to create the currency and saying, how that should be done correctly.
