    Letter to: Sir Alan Reid, Keeper of the Privy Purse, Buckingham Palace, London

    The Rescue of Buckingham Palace

    Dear Sir Alan

    There could not be a better cause for a campaign to reform our monetary system, than the maintenance of our Buckingham Palace. That reform would receive almost universal support and indirectly, would benefit everyone. To preserve our National Heritage there is work to be done, for which the money does not exist.

    New money would have to be made and as the law now stands, the only method available is to ask private financiers to issue that new money as credit. To issue new money as credit is to counterfeit money. The Oxford English dictionary defines counterfeit as “an imitation with intent to deceive.”

    Issuing new money as credit (with intent to deceive the borrower that he is being allowed the use of existing money and for which he pays interest) is the only method by which new money is created. The instant that credit is accepted as a loan of money, the law states that the borrower now owes money.

    “The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. If you want to be slaves to the bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery then let the banks create money”.

    Lord Stamp, former Director of the Bank of England.

    The law is the Tonnage Act of 1694, which is still on the statute book. The privilege of creating new money should be returned to the Crown or to the Treasury on behalf of the Crown. Providing that this is done correctly and openly so all could see its integrity, there could be no inflation; none, zero inflation.

    The whole nation would agree that Buckingham Palace has a place in all of our hearts and restoring it will be a wonderful motivation for monetary reform.

    I enclose a copy of “The New Money Textbook” which I have just revised. It explains all this very clearly. I am always available by telephone.
