   Billy from Bow, I think I see what you`re saying (eventually!!), problem is, that anti capitalism action is limited unless you can persuade people to burn down every financial institution in the world!! It is one area of life where the `ordinary` person has virtually no real power. Also, because of the way governments in this country, have eroded people power by making masses of people dependant on the state, employing disenfranchised groups, and, by bringing in measures in the name of anti terrorism (a catchall for spying), eroding civil liberties, and eventually putting them in the position (in the case of i.d. cards) where they will not even be able to open a post office account unless they have an i.d. card. We know that global warming, as presented to us is wrong. you dont need to be a scientist to know this. Our own Kremlin are emotionally blackmailing us by telling us it is OUR fault thereby reassuring themselves that taking money from us is justified. Trouble is, how do we avoid paying these taxes? the only way is not to use the services where the tax applies, but then the commisars will only find a way to tax us at source. I would advocate civil disobediance, but I believe that people are so fed up of not having their concerns addressed, and of being ridden roughshod over by this gang of thieves, that they have succumbed to apathy, and believe that no matter what they do, the Kremlin will win. The fact that the Kremlin has gone down the Global Warming road, has spawned thousands of industries also finding ways to make money from us, a company can get all sorts of grants and tax breaks if it gets Kremlin accreditation, which then enable it to make more money from the Green issue.

   In this issue: • Thought For The Week • The Great Web Of Debt And Social Credit • Still Wholly Unable To Rise To What Was Offered Us? • Multiculturalism : Romantic Nonsense • Exposing The Religions: Climate Change And Denial • Republic Poll Duplicitous – Monarchists Claim • The Olympics : Drugs And Chinese Ideology • Losing one's Head Over Multiculturalism
   
   THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: speaking truth to power: "By bearing witness, Solzhenitsyn certainly did as much as any artist could to bring down the Soviet system, a monstrosity that crushed millions of lives... But his death on August 3rd prompts a question. Who today speaks truth to power – not only in authoritarian or semi-free countries such as Russia and China but in the West as well? – The Economist, 9th August, 2008
   
   THE GREAT WEB OF DEBT AND SOCIAL CREDIT by James Reed: You know that there is trouble ahead when Jewish financier George Soros puts out a book – "The New Paradigm for Financial Markets: The Credit Crisis of 2008 and What It Means" – warning that the "dominant economic model" is in trouble. Today we live in a world of what Robert Reich (Super Capitalism) calls "super-capitalism" where the sole purpose of business is to maximise shareholder value. Nothing else counts.
   
   Soros and Reich think that the emergence of the new turbo-charged super-capitalism was produced by the consumers' desire for lower prices. As we know though, the modern economy is not based around satisfying consumers, but manipulating them, and a more plausible case can be made that it was the eternal greed of global capitalism, a type of criminal psychopathology, which has led the world into the present great web of debt.
   
   We should welcome the crash of the existing system and be ready to offer social credit alternatives when the giant banks collapse into the dust of history. The power to create money being the sole right of private banking monopolies has been a great communist failure. The solution is not the nationalisation of banking or returning the power to create credit to the people collectively. These are communist, collectivist, false solutions that Eric Butler fought against in the famous Bank Nationalisation drama in 1946.
   
   Social Credit affirms the power, autonomy and dignity of the individual. Politically this is met by democratic systems that decentralise power and empower individuals. Likewise for finance. Finance itself needs to be decentralised and humanised. That in short, is the present noble mission of Social Credit in our oppressive and disintegrating world.
   
   STILL WHOLLY UNABLE TO RISE TO WHAT WAS OFFERED US? by Betty Luks: Eric Butler in "The Real Objectives of the Second World War: An Exposure of International Finance"* published in 1939 (?) referred to the time in 1921 when Australia's leaders defied International Finance.
   
   He referred the reader to the magnificent efforts of such brave Australians as Sir Denison Miller, Governor of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
   At the time Eric wrote: "We Have Done It once: Some have expressed the viewpoint that the international group are too firmly entrenched to defeat. Well, in 1920-21, it was Australia that showed the world that International Finance can be beaten. While every other country was going through the first post-war depression Australia was enjoying comparative prosperity. Why? Because at that time we had a few real Australian leaders, such as Sir Dennison Miller, who, by the use of the Commonwealth Bank, were able to thwart the plans of the private financiers... the fact remains that just so soon as we demand that the Bank be used to finance the nation's requirements, without further debt or taxation, it can be done.
   Method already tried and tested: The method of carrying through such a campaign to obtain this policy has already been applied. The defeat of the National Insurance scheme, by the new technique of pressure-politics, as opposed to party politics showed the Australian people once and for all that democracy can and will work if the individual electors will only accept their responsibilities. Thousands upon thousands of demand-letters, in possibly the greatest wave of public opinion this country has ever seen, showed that the power of finance can be beaten. Let us do it again!"
   As I read Eric's words I am reminded of two characters in Charles Dickens' "Our Mutual Friend". The young man had honourably proposed marriage to this shallow, worldly young woman who 'was in the market' for a much more lucrative 'alliance'.
   But the day came when she saw herself for what she was: this worldly, shallow girl whose head was turned, and who was quite unable to rise to the worth of what the honourable young man offered her.
   Is it not the same for us as Australians? For sixty or more years Eric Butler traipsed the length and breadth of this land offering us a vision of a more splendid and honourable Western nation, but the bulk of us were quite unable to rise to the worth of what was offered because of our petty, shallow worldliness. This time though, the situation is grim indeed, there will be no second chances. Either we rise to the worth of what is offered us – or we sink into oblivion as a culturally, historically and spiritually civilised western nation.
   Eric concluded his essay: "The time has long passed for clouding the issue. We have got to face the fact that the present situation calls for a high degree of courage, and a burning belief in the cause for which we are fighting. To say that it is a case of life and death is understating the case. Every person who knows the position has a great responsibility. No excuse can relieve those individuals from throwing their whole weight in the balance of civilisation.
   We have two enemies: The financiers on one hand, and the Left-Wing groups on the other. The financiers are our conscious enemies. The Left-Wing groups our unconscious enemies. Should we be successful in wresting financial policy from the control of private financiers, and sweeping them from power once and for all, Australia can preserve civilisation and culture as we understand it, and offer a hand of hospitality to those who may seek to escape the possible break-up of civilisation in Western Europe."
   Are we yet worthy? Can we indeed rise to what is offered us?
