A July 4th message to friends of the American Monetary Institute,

Dear Fellow Americans, and friends around the Earth,
This 4th of July as we proudly celebrate our declaration of independence from the tyranny of a mad Brit King, lets remember the victory a small group of dedicated, courageous men and women achieved against the world's most powerful military of their time.

It was a victory that appeared extremely improbable at best, as they pledged their lives to fight for its success. And as events and battles were fought, the possibility of a favorable outcome grew even smaller. But at the right moment, help from France turned the tide and the British were defeated.

Defeated militarily, but not monetarily. For soon after the Constitution was ratified, in 1791 the 1st Bank of the United States, a privately owned and privately controlled central bank was put through Congress by Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, modeled on the private Bank of England. The gang around that bank were more dangerous than King George the 3rd; and the Hamilton people thereby insinuated into the New World forces representing the most evolved secular form that evil had attained in the Old World. Thanks a lot Hamilton!

Jefferson fought the bank, helping to bring it down and Burr killed Hamilton over public insults; but privately issued money had gained a foothold in America. It's still here, in control of our monetary system. It's the root cause of most of our social and economic problems. Whenever it caused crises in the past, our government had to come to the rescue. It's latest atrocity is the current monetary, banking and economic crisis, threatening to take the entire world economy down into depression, and destroy the lives of billions of people in the process.

It must end now. This crisis gives us our only opportunity to reform our monetary system and eliminate the private creation of money; to eliminate the privilege banks have to create our money supply when they extend loans.
The American Monetary Institute has published its research results in the book The Lost Science of Money (drawn from a study of over 800 monetary books and sources). The first 23 chapters focus on the monetary case studies from Aristotle forward. Then Chapter 24 summarizes what those studies teach us and how that should be applied to solving today's dilemma. The American Monetary Act puts that plan into legislative form. See http://www.monetary.org

Each September (24th - 27th in 2009) we hold a monetary reform conference at Roosevelt University in Chicago where activists and advanced monetary researchers present talks and programs on monetary reform. There is a Discount ($295 instead of $395) for registrations mailed by July 15th. See the brochure now! http://www.monetary.org/2009conference.html

The American Monetary Act (attached) is legislation which fundamentally reforms the
private CREDIT/DEBT system now wrecking our nation, replacing it with a government MONEY system.

HOW:  The Federal Reserve becomes incorporated into the U.S. Treasury. Banks no longer have the accounting privilege of creating our money supply. All their previously issued credit is converted into U.S. Money through an elegant and gentle accounting change, which has been described as brilliant by a former officer of the NY Fed. The banks are held accountable for this conversion. New money is then introduced by the government spending it into circulation for infrastructure, starting with the $2.2 trillion the engineers tell us is needed to properly maintain our infrastructure over the next 5 years. Infrastructure will include the necessary human infrastructure of health care and education.

Banks are encouraged to continue lending as profit making companies, but are no longer allowed to create our money supply by loan making activity.

Thus, The American Monetary Act nationalizes the money system, not the banking system.  Banking is absolutely not a proper function of government, but providing the nation’s money supply is a key function of government. No one else can do it properly. Talk of nationalizing the banking business may really act like a poison pill to block real reform.

Despite prejudice against government, most people are surprised to learn that history shows government has a far superior record in controlling the money system than private controllers have. And yes that includes the continental currency, the Greenbacks and even the German Hyperinflation; which by the way took place under a completely privatized German central bank!

WHO:  The American Monetary Institute, organized in 1996 as a publicly supported charitable trust, is the leading U.S. think tank on monetary history, theory and reform.

WHY:   Because the crisis our present malformed banking and money system has caused is crying out for reform, not merely regulation. It has visibly brought the world economy to its knees; it has concentrated wealth to unacceptable levels, and it now places the future development of humanity at risk.

WHY? Considering the nature of modern weapons systems, leaving the same people and families in power risks the survival of the species. Some of them watching the past 16 years, must realize that. Lets hope they do the right thing. But lets not depend on it!

I mentioned that the French played a key part at the start of our nation. Today their gift to us of the Statue of Liberty still plays a crucial role for us and for humanity. The liberty she symbolizes does not exist in our nation. It never really has. The Statue has always been a symbol encouraging us towards the possible. I love that statue and when I stayed in New York, I often anchored my motor boat under it, and some of my fondest memories are of those times as the sun set over New Jersey, still reflecting off the Twin Towers; or anchored under the spectacular fireworks display there during the bicentennial celebration.

Friends, we are all under pressure in this environment. Stress will cause illness unless you act. Action will destroy fear! Good action towards truth will change the world. Join with us to understand the nature of our money system, how it should be structured and how we citizens can effect such change. Thats what our country's founders would be doing now if they were of our time. Thats what men and women of good will, can be doing now!
Well thats it for now. Get in touch! Stay in Touch! Read the book. Come to the conference!
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!

Bankaræningjar, bankastjórar og bankaeigendur

Davíð Oddson seldi vini sínum og flokksbróður Landsbankann.

Björgólfur Guðmundsson átti sér langan feril og sögu í viðskiptum sem gera má ráð fyrir að Davíð Oddsson hafi þekkt vel til:

Björgólfur Guðmundsson tók við tugmilljónum króna sem starfsmaður Landsbankans, Haukur Heiðar, stal úr bankanum á sjö ára tímabili. Haukur Heiðar var dæmdur í tveggja og hálfs árs fangelsi fyrir fjárdráttinn árið 1980.

Sem deildarstjóri ábyrgðardeildar Landsbankans hafði Haukur Heiðar um sjö ára skeið, frá 1970 til 1977, dregið sér rúmar 50 milljónir króna með skjalafalsi. Í flestum tilfellum notaði Haukur Heiðar féð sem hann dró sér til þess að borga ábyrgðarskuldir fyrirtækja Björgólfs Guðmundssonar, Dósagerðarinnar og Bláskóga, eða kom fénu úr landi og inn á bankareikning í Sviss. Björgólfur greiddi Hauki Heiðar síðan féð til baka í reiðufé með vöxtum að sögn þeirra beggja. Nokkrum sinnum kom hann á skrifstofu Hauks Heiðar í Landsbankanum með milljónir króna í umslagi.

Björgólfur var ekki ákærður í málinu á sínum tíma því Haukur Heiðar sagði að hann hefði verið einn að verki.

Í vitnaleiðslunum yfir Björgólfi, sem raktar eru í dómnum í máli Hauks Heiðar, kemur fram að Haukur Heiðar hafi nokkrum árum áður boðist til að lána Björgólfi fé. Björgólfur segir í dómnum að hann hafi þegið boð Hauks Heiðar um peningalán því hann hafi talið að Haukur ætti féð sjálfur sem hann bauðst til að lána honum. Björgólfur var fjárþurfi á þeim tíma. Björgólfur segir í dómnum að honum hafi verið algerlega ókunnugt um að nokkuð „óhreint“ hafi verið í viðskiptum sínum og Hauks.

Ekki setja þjóðina á hausinn

...Já leyfum útlendingum að græða á íbúum bæjarins

Suðurnesjamenn hafa byggt upp Hitaveitu Suðurnesja.

Bæjarstjórinn er búin að selja nánast allar eignir bæjarins en útsvar bæjarbúa rennur nú að miklu leyti í vasa vina bæjarstjórans sem leigja bænum það sem bæjarfélagið átti sjálft áður.

Nú ætlar hann að selja útlendingum  og einkaaðilum réttin til þess að rukka bæjarbúa um heita vatnið. Og viti menn bærinn ætlar að eiga áfram rörin í jörðinni. Já það verður varla skafið af "snilld" Árna Sigfússonar.

Já og svo ætlar hann líka að lána vinum sínum útlendingunum og einkaaðilunum 6 milljarða til þess að þeir geti keypt réttinn til að rukka Suðurnesjamenn fyrir afnot af hitaveitunni sem þeir byggðu upp sjálfir.

Nei Árni ætlar ekki að lána þeim sjálfur persónulega heldur ætlar hann að láta bæjarbúa í Reykjanesbæ um að lána þessum vinum sínum 6 milljarða.

Kannski langar Árna að vera bankastjóri og lána útlendingum peninga svo þeir geti grætt meira á bæjarbúum.

Kaupin í HS Orku bænum í hag

Uppgjöf Steingríms Joð

Skaðinn er skeður segir Steingrímur í uppgjafartón og sakar síðan aðra um uppgjöf. Við getum vel borgað segir Steingrímur. Hvaða "við" er Steingrímur að tala um? Varla er hann að tala um sjálfan sig. Er hann ekki bara ágætlega settur?

Ekki er hann öryrki. Ekki er hann ellilífeyrisþegi á sléttum bótum. Ekki er hann skuldugur heimilisfaðir.

Nei Steingrímur þú ert ekki einn þessara "við" sem þú sakar um uppgjöf og nennir ekki að berjast fyrir.

Ísland er þegar komið í þrot og það er sorglegt að sjá að þú skulir beygja þig undir ESB-áráttu samfylkingarinnar sem nú er í felum og lætur þig um skítverkin.

Ísland er þegar komið í þrot og það er skelfilegt að horfa upp á hvernig samfylkingin og hluti vinstri grænna ætlar að gera það versta úr stöðunni.

Ísland er þegar komið í þrot og það er NÚNA sem rétti tíminn er til þess að horfast í augu við það.

...Og svo ættu Geir Haarde og Davíð Oddson bara að koma sér aftur ofan í holuna sem þeir eru að skríða upp úr.

Ábyrgð þeirra á þeim hörmungum sem dunið hafa yfir þjóðina er óvefengjanleg.

Það breytir þó ekki þeirri staðreynd að samþykki yfirvöld Icesave samninginn eru það verstu mistök frá gamla sáttmála árið 1262.

Geir Haarde: Hann tók því illa
