    Letter to: Edmund Conway. Economics Editor. The Daily Telegraph. London

    CPI versus Inflation

    Dear Mr Conway

    Could you explain to me why no one writing in the Press is allowed to mention the fact, that our currency is now issued as credit. Our currency is no longer minted or printed by the Government, but issued as credit by private bankers, who now have a monopoly on the creation of new money.

    The use of credit, as our currency, which has become a synonym for debt, has made fair trading impossible, has rendered honesty incompatible with financial viability, has rendered the ONS addicted to criminal misrepresentation of figures for inflation and has enslaved the ordinary citizen with debt.

    Britain and its people now owe trillions of pounds and we borrow more and more new money, all the time, in order to pay the interest on those debts. All this entails a colossal increase in the supply of new money, which is issued as credit. Do tell me, as our Editor of Economics, why you and all other members of the Press, are never allowed to mention this horrendously bad news. Are you under the orders of our Slave Masters?
