CRIME

Make people desperate enough with a shortage of money and they can go criminal.  Although we have an apparancy of being very rich, we are in fact hopelessly in debt.  At present, as a nation, we owe something in the order of a total of £20,000,000,000,000. Yes £20 Trillion.  We appear to have a lot of money, because we have a surfeit of credit.  We have been using credit instead of money for so long that it is difficult to appreciate the fact that we are insolvent and if we had to pay off our debts we would have no money, none at all.  This is so hidden from view that we actually live in the direst poverty.  Look at the state of our roads, railways, the health service, our schools and look at the rise in council tax and water bills; look at inner city problems and policing difficulties. Although the poverty itself is not visible, the crimes which arise from poverty are very visible.

It is important to appreciate these facts because contrary to popular belief, we human beings are by nature law abiding, provided the laws aid our survival.  But the advent of punitive legislation, introduces crime. 

Punitive legislation is criminal and gives us criminality.  It is because we have an insolvent economy that punitive legislation has taken over and is actually creating the crime that it is designed to control.  A criminal is a person who has lost his self-respect.  He has suffered degredation and has lost the ability to predict the outcome of his actions. If this fact were recognised and truly understood, we could be free of criminality and there would be no crime or criminals.  Just as there are thousands of ways in which to diminish a person's self- respect, so there are ways to help him to regain his self-respect. Recognise him for what he is.  The truth may set him free.  Help him to see clearly the consequences of his misdeeds.  If this is done out of respect for the being,   despite his behaviour and he sees the truth of his own criminality, that may set him free.

Monetary reform, in restoring to Government the sole right to create and issue new money, will enable  the Government to rid us of poverty and help the world to get rid of poverty.  At the beginning of this book I made you a promise that this could be so.

That promise is repeated here.

When you persevere and come to understand money clearly and without passion or confusion, you will have enough understanding of economics to ensure freedom from poverty for every man, woman and child on the Planet.

It is well within our ability to understand this book, in order to correct what is wrong with the money system. Poverty and criminality can become history.
