Dear Brian Leslie.
The Real reason that we need Monetary Reform
The fact is, that no economist or writer on this subject has ever
explained
how the Government should calculate the correct amount of new money
to be
created, on a day-to-day basis or even on an annual basis.
Parliament has a consensus that if Government were allowed to try
its hand
at this calculation we should inevitably have either inflation or
deflation,
out of control.
The decision has been made that only bankers understand money and
therefore
bankers alone, should have the monopoly of making that calculation.
Bankers
allow their customers to borrow new money into existence, by issuing
new
money as credit.
Bankers then control the resulting inflation with interest rates.
If too much money is borrowed the bankers increase interest-rates.
If not
enough new money is borrowed the bankers lower interest rates. By
this means
they are able to control inflation within an inch of its life.
The snag is, that whosoever controls the supply of new money, has
supreme
power and we now live in a financial dictatorship with loss of our
Freedom
and we are enslaved by debt.
The control exerted by the bankers is not good control and we have
crime and
drugs wrecking the culture. Forcing us to accept credit as money,
is fraud
which has been made legal, by the bankers using their supreme power
to do
so. Permitting criminals to have Supreme Power over us, has proved
to be
exceedingly dangerous .
By using credit as money we render fair trading impossible and
have global
commercial warfare instead.
Commercial warfare is far more dangerous than armed conflict. There
is no
respect for human life, no honesty, no decency, no Geneva Convention
and no
hope of peace.
There is no place for ethics in economics today, and because the
economy
pervades every facet of our lives, the benefits of monetary reform
will
become manifest in every aspect of our lives.
For example, with our personal debts standing at £1.3 trillion,
a 0.25 per
cent rise in the rate of interest we pay, for the use of credit,
which we
call money, having been forced to borrow it into existence. That
rise in
interest rates could cause enough misery to start a civil war or
a bloody
revolution. Already one Briton per minute is dropping with debt.
