The Rat Race of Commercial Warfare

Dear Mr Hesp

As we confront the impending congestive meltdown in gridlocks on our roads, the pollution and the price of fuel, you will be wise to notice that over 70 per cent of traffic on our roads is normally composed of vehicles on some sort of commercial activity.

If we then examine the wisdom of developing commercial traffic, on our roads to this intensity, we should find that as a result of Fair Trading being no longer financially viable, we are into commercial warfare. That is now a rat race which is harder and harder to run and more and more destructive. We work harder and harder, longer and longer and achieve an ever decreasing quality of life.

The remedy can be stated in a very few words. Introduce ethics into economics, restore the viability of honesty and replace the use of credit as our means of exchange, with money. Because new money is now issued as credit by private banks and our Government no longer mints or prints new money, we only survive by getting ever deeper into debt.

This is not a bubble that can burst, but the chains of debt slavery which get heavier and heavier. We live in a financial dictatorship with bankers above the Judiciary and over Parliament. Bankers also control the Press and the Media, so that none of this is ever mentioned and is kept secret.

You have shown yourself to be a folk person at heart and we need to move out of commercial warfare into a folk type of economy. The major change required, is to abandon mechanistic materialism and restore the validity of Man's spiritual nature.

The nightmare of terrorism, of which you wrote in your column, on the opposite page of the Western Morning News, almost certainly derives from the hatred of usury, felt in Islam and which is the essential core of our mechanistic and materialistic culture.

Credit instead of money, used as our means of exchange, puts us at odds with Islam. This disparity is enhanced by the fact that we profess to be a Christian culture, but behave as infidels of the worst odour.

You know what I am talking about and you are yourself a folk hero in our eyes, the readers of the Western Morning News. Be true to yourself and not to the bankers.
