    Letter to: Damian Reece “Comment” The Daily Telegraph. London

    19th August, 2006

    Who pays for security to fly?

    Dear Mr Reece.

    In your Comment on Friday 18th August, you say that the cost of security must be paid for by the passengers. But you also say that security must be taken out of the hands of those who have to make a profit out of flying. Who, one might ask, provides the money for that profit, other than the passengers.

    Sir Richard Branson calls on the Government to pay for security, seeming to assume that the Government is other than the tax payer. Why should those of us who do not fly, subsidise the profits made from those who do fly?.

    Of course if we could see this conundrum straight on, we could then see that the cost of fighting terrorism could remove the cause of terrorism.

    The cost of the war against terrorism could be more effective than the fighting.

    It goes like this.

    Taxes are now so high, that we are forced to borrow the money to pay our taxes. We accept credit from the banks, launder that credit and turn it into money, because we cannot pay tax with credit. The cost of laundering credit, doubles the tax.

    Better by far for everyone would be, to have our Government restore unto itself the sole right to issue new money and deprive the banks of the right to issue new money as credit.

    This would kill the credit laundering industry stone dead. That would be the end of our ability to enslave the poor with poverty.

    Turning the under privileged into slaves, is the cause of terrorism. Human beings have never ever enjoyed being slaves and will die to be free.

    Those who mobilise that desire to die, are never poverty stricken themselves and thus we are thrown off the scent.
