    Letter to: Tim Hobden. The Western Morning News Plymouth

    Capitalism

    9th December, 2006

    Dear Mr Hobden

    When brother and sister purchase two buses to start a business, and 25 years later are awarded £96 million as a parting gift, we get a sharp reminder of how Capitalism works. Obviously the business created from two buses did not earn the £400 million out of which the £96 million was paid.

    Along the road, credit would have been lavished on the business, by those willing to rely on placing profitable bets, for a living. Huge gambles which paid-up off, time and time again to build the business into No. 163 on the rich list. If we are interested in understanding how Capitalism can acquire enormous wealth without putting any exchange into the system, then here is a good example of the process.

    Any form of gambling is a method of cheating the other or others out of their money, without having to give them anything in exchange. This method of robbing people is perfectly legal, encouraged by the Government and worshiped by the people who get robbed. It is a form of Capitalism beloved by the Socialist.

    Out exchange is the modus operandi of the whole of the Square Mile of the City of London. There money is used for the wrong purpose, not as a means of exchange, but as a means of acquiring wealth with no exchange. And all because, we have never had a definition of money. Money cannot be correctly defined without knowing its purpose. If money is not fit for purpose, money can be used for very evil purposes.

    Great Britain became the richest little island in the world by the use of the most evil of all forms of out exchange the slave trade. In the year 2006 the slave trade looks very different. But is no less evil. We enslave poor people with debts. We create a shortage of money and use that shortage to seduce people into debt by “giving” them credit instead of money.

    That is a very nasty abuse of money, which stems from not fit for purpose, engineered by redefining money as credit. We then see that money men inherit the earth.
