    Letter to: Mrs Anne Belsey. Kent

    8th July, 2006

    Dear Anne

    You are a wonderful lady to have achieved all that recognition for Monetary Reform. How do your finances stand, how much are you personally out of pocket? All that money for the deposit etc, etc.

    I would like you to be aware of the benefits of monetary reform in relation to climate change, global poverty, global warming, pensions, funding the National Health Service, funding British Rail, council tax, leaking water mains, cleaning up beaches. Wind farms. Affordable housing. Crime. Failing education. Bureaucracy. Gambling. Drugs and plenty more.

    The lowest-common-denominator of the whole lot, is monetary abuse.

    As somebody has said to you, the British people are hungry for a new approach to politics and for practical, doable and effective action, without pain, to any honest citizens. We have the answer. THE answer.

    “In the affairs of men, nothing ever happens by accident. Whatever it is, you can bet your life that somebody somewhere planned it that way. So said Franklin D Roosevelt. Whosoever creates and issues a Nations currency has Supreme Power, is above the Law and above Parliament. So said Amschel Rothschild. The greatest banker who has ever lived.

    Where honesty is no longer financially viable, dishonest people float to the top like scum and rule the world. You are going to change all that and create a better civilisation and you will achieve that goal, via monetary reform.

    Restore to Government, of the people, by the people and for the people, the sole right to create and issue the currency and show the Government, how to do so correctly.

    Let me start with a very good example, that could make the whole issue very clear.

    Funding the railways of Britain.

    When British Rail was merely a dream in the mind of Isembard Kingdom Brunel, the money needed to bring the railways into existence, did not exist. The banks had a monopoly on the creation of new money and bankers issued new money as credit. Money had to be borrowed into existence. That rule still applies. The railways have never been correctly funded, so their maintenance has never been adequate. Beeching was given a free hand to wreck British Rail, and the whole sorry business is now a mess.

    Monetary reform will allow the Government, under our direction, to create and spend on the Railways, all the new money needed to make them fully operational and run for the benefit of their users and not for the benefit of shareholders. Provided that new money is created under our supervision and spent wisely and well, it cannot cause inflation, however great the sum maybe. This is not known, nor is it known that under the existing monetary system, new money is only created by banks and only issued as credit.

    Just imagine having a functional railway system that is fully operational and fit for purpose. Gridlocks on our roads could disappear and travel become a joy. This will be a complete change in the existing system of funding a vital and essential public service The basic principle involved would apply to other vital and essential public utilities such as roads, sewage disposal, water mains and reservoirs.

    If you can see that the most valuable resource of any Nation, is the willingness of its people to work and create wealth, you will see that monetary reform will handle the pension crisis, will remove PAYE that punishes people for working, restore fair trading, and end commercial warfare, dispensing with the rat race.

    We only mention one application of joy at a time. We do not aim to overwhelm with good news. But as you run into the evil intentions, of those who wish to stop us, you smile to yourself and say under your breath, “ If only they knew.”
