Take for example Louis Even's fable about five people washed up on a desert ile, which explains how money is created as debt by private banks. The story was first published in 1940 in the magazine "Vers Demain". It's a great story - just 8 pages long - that you can read in English "The Money Myth Exploded", French "L'île des naufragés", Spanish "La Isla de los Naufragos", Portugeuse "A Ilha dos Naufragos", German "Die Insel der Shiffbrüchigen" and Polish "Wyspa rozbitkow". No excuses - you have to read this.!
The "Michael Journal" is available in several languages.
In the English section you can find many true gems. For example:
- an article by Louis Even from 1941 that talked about the infamous article in the United States Banker Magazine in 1892
- Louis Even's book originally published in French in 1946 and called "In this age of plenty"
- a nice set of quotes on money
- a phone call to Fed where a banker gave away the secrets of the Federal Reserve in 1992
- a piece about the Bilderberg club
Simon,
ReplyDeleteIssuing money debt-free is a step in the right direction, but a second step is missing to complete a pace: issuing money interest-free. To do so it is necessary to shear money of its parasitic function called store of value, which makes usury possible. Defined by Silvio Gesell 100 years ago for the first time, usury is the tribute that those who need money as a medium of exchange must pay to those who hoard it as store of value. Neither C.H.Douglas nor Louis Even saw this point. Debt- plus interest-free money circulates fast, thereby making it unnecessary to have great quantities of it around. It also forces banks to lend only the money they have, preventing them from creating it out of thin air.
I usually reside in Nairobi, Kenya, but am currently in Toronto (Ernescliff College, St George Street 156) for another week. If you are interested in discussing the issue further, do not hesitate to contact me.
