Warnings:
Commenting.
Dear Dean and Wally,
Here, in Switzerland, we have the direct democracy and to win, we need large alliances.
We can not win if we are too "pure".
Then, as said, some facts are well explained in those videos.
See under solutions about what are the next steps. Thank you.
François
Dear François,
I watched most of this video and found myself in almost complete agreement until about 15 minutes before it ended when the lie finally emerged. As I watched the video, I kept waiting for them to reveal that there are indeed no shortages of anything – only misallocation and waste. I kept waiting for them to reveal the gap and the artificial shortages. But alas, the solution we are offered is that old worthless filthy rag that has never worked – gold-backed money.
Francois you offered this to me as something you claim is of value. All this shows me is that you don’t truly understand why our economy fails. It is indeed very simple. There is a shortage of money. That shortage is entirely driven by the simple math behind the A + B theorem that is in force in all markets, with all goods and services ant at all times. Until THIS simple fact is grasped by a critical mass of people, we will not throw off these chains. The world suffers from what it does not know that it does not know. If you want to be of service to your fellow man, it is this drum and this drum alone that you must beat.
What you must come to terms with is a clear recognition of the difference between these gold advocates AKA Von Mises Institute “experts” AKA gold bugs AKA libertarians AKA Austrian School economists; and those who propose addressing the root cause of money shortage. I have only ever seen two methods I believe can be made to work – Frederick Soddy’s National Economy and CH Douglas’s Social Credit. The better of the two is definitely the latter because it does two things particularly well. It provides for equitable distribution of a nation’s wealth and it bears witness to an inescapable fact – that we don’t need 100% of our labour force to produce 100% of the goods needed by our society. To advocate the many feel-good principles this film advocated without addressing these root causes is to offer our posterity a guaranteed repeat of history at some point in the future. On this simple point – the cause of the gap and its proper solution – I am absolutely steadfast, unyielding and immovable. All other efforts and initiatives are simply futile and will ultimately fail. I encourage you to get your mind straight on this. You are close but you’re not there yet.
Sincerely,
Dean
Yes, Dean, the video is worth watching for the presentation it makes of some of our contemporary problems. It deals with the creation of money “out of nothing” by banks and their monopoly and depredations exercised by the control and administration of credit. But at this point they stumble by failing entirely to identify the real problem with banks, i.e., that they claim the ownership of the credit which they create to monetize the community’s real credit and in so doing virtually appropriate the communal real capital. The participants are generally well-intended but they are blinded by financial ignorance, and the cohesion of their destructive criticism disintegrates when they progress to the area of practical remedial proposals which are sterile without the Social Credit insight. Douglas’s ideas would propel then into the light and free them from the ideological maelstrom in which they are trapped in ceaseless circular motion, forever prevented from breaking out from the mental prison which confines them. A tragedy indeed. Each of these speakers should receive a copy of Dr Oliver Heydorn’s recent bookSocial Credit Economics:

The problems
FOUR HORSEMEN is an award winning independent feature documentary which lifts the lid on how the world really works.
As we will never return to 'business as usual' 23 international thinkers, government advisors and Wall Street money-men break their silence and explain how to establish a moral and just society.
FOUR HORSEMEN is free from mainstream media propaganda -- the film doesn't bash bankers, criticise politicians or get involved in conspiracy theories. It ignites the debate about how to usher a new economic paradigm into the world which would dramatically improve the quality of life for billions.
"It's Inside Job with bells on, and a frequently compelling thesis thanks to Ashcroft's crack team of talking heads -- economists, whistleblowers and Noam Chomsky, all talking with candour and clarity." - Total Film
"Four Horsemen is a breathtakingly composed jeremiad against the folly of Neo-classical economics and the threats it represents to all we should hold dear."
- Harold Crooks, The Corporation (Co-Director) Surviving Progress (Co-Director/Co-Writer)

Association not for Profit
1. Name
..... ................................................is a Society (hereinafter "Society /
Social Credit") according to the provisions of art 60 and al. of Swiss Civil Code.
2. Domicile
The local head office of the Social Credit will be located in ...................
And all activities will be begin in the area of .................
3. Objects
The objects for which the Social Credit is established are as follows:
(A) To protect and promote the common interests of its members;
(B) To promote, study, advance and protect trading, commercial, financial and
manufacturing interests and relations, as a financial aid to poor people, without any interests.
A Local Social Credit Bank is a business owned and controlled by the people who use its services. They
finance and operate the business or service for their mutual benefit. By working together, they
can reach an objective that would be unattainable if acting alone.
The purpose of the Local Social Credit Bank is to provide greater benefits to the members such as
increasing individual income or enhancing a member's way of living by providing important needed
services. The Local Social Credit Bank, for instance, may be the vehicle to obtaining improved markets or
providing sources of supplies or other services otherwise unavailable if members acted alone.
Distinctive Features
In many respects, Local Social Credit Banks resemble other businesses. They have similar physical
facilities, perform similar functions, and must follow sound business practices. They usually
incorporate under State laws and require bylaws and other necessary legal papers. Members elect a
board of directors to represent their interests. The board sets policy and hires a manager to run
the Local Social Credit Bank's day-to-day business.
Even though Local Social Credit Banks are similar to many other businesses, they are distinctively
different. Some differences are found in the Local Social Credit Bank's purpose, ownership, control, and
distribution of benefits. Local Social Credit Banks follow three principles that define or identify their
distinctive characteristics:
user-owned, user-controlled, and user-benefited.
The user-owned principle means the people who own and finance the Local Social Credit Bank are those who use it. "Use" usually means buying supplies, marketing products, or using services of the
Local Social Credit Bank business.
Members finance the Local Social Credit Bank through different methods: 1) by a direct contribution
through a membership fee or investment; 2) by an agreement to withhold a portion of net
earnings (profit); or 3) by assessments based on units of product sold or purchased 4) By local money creation 5) By distribution of the social dividend 6) By the compensated discount .
Sharing of the profits help finance the Local Social Credit Bank's operations.
The user-controlled principle (also called democratic control) says those who use the
Local Social Credit Bank also control it by electing a board of directors and voting on major organizational
issues. This is done on a one-member, one-vote basis.
The user-benefited principle says that the Local Social Credit Bank's sole purpose is to provide and
distribute benefits to members on the basis of their use. Members unite in a Local Social Credit Bank to
receive services otherwise not available, to purchase quality supplies, to increase market
access, or for other mutually beneficial reasons. Members also benefit from distribution of net
earnings or profit based on the individual's business volume with the Local Social Credit Bank.
To operate under these distinctive principles, an important practice, particularly for
new Local Social Credit Banks, is to conduct continuing member education. This is especially important for attracting and recruiting new members. It is also necessary because the Local Social Credit Bank's membershipsince conception, continually changes. Older members retire and new ones join.
Keeping owners informed is an important practice for any business, but vital in a
Local Social Credit Bank for at least three reasons:
(1) The democratic control principle, exercised through majority rule, requires that
the entire ownership (members) be informed and involved to assure that enlightened
decisions are made;
(2) Members must indicate their needs and accept the accompanying financial
responsibilities before the Local Social Credit Bank can fulfill those needs; and
(3) Some people are not familiar with the Local Social Credit Bank form of business. The educational
system contains little, if any, information about Local Social Credit Banks.
So, the Local Social Credit Bank, itself, must become the educational institution.
All members sign a declaration not to be a member of any secret society and pay a fine of Pesos if the fact is proven
.
To help in the attainment of these objects, but not in limitation of them, the Social Credit
may inter alia:
* Collect and disseminate statistical and other information relating to the aforesaid
interests;
* Maintain the necessary contacts relating to the aforesaid interests with appropriate
government or trade authorities and bodies;
* Promote, support or oppose legislative or other measures affecting the aforesaid
interests;
* Undertake by arbitration the settlement of disputes arising out of trading,
commercial, financial or manufacturing questions submitted to its decision;
* Institute through appropriate channels legal or other proceedings for the protection
of any commercial interests in the local community, provided that, and so far as, no breach be committed of the rules of
law against maintenance or champerty, if and so far as such rules of law are
applicable in the country in which such proceedings are instituted;
* Supply, without guarantee, information respecting the standing of companies, firms
and persons in the local community;
* Give advice and assistance to its Members and others in establishing commercial
connections, finding agents and evaluating trade conditions in the
The local community;
* Sell, lease, mortgage or dispose of or otherwise deal with all or any part of the
property of the Social Credit without any interest rate if applicable;
* Do any other lawful things as may be conducive to the extension of any
trade, commerce, finance, manufacturing or economic interests or incidental to the
attainment of any or all of the above objects.

We have a clear vision, the theory and the doctrine is there, but politics is an art of the possible, it is not a science.
Anyway, the implementation was a total failure in the real world until now, at all levels, everywhere. Canada, USA, UK, etc
Can you show us a success somewhere, except in our small experiments in Madagascar, Congo, Columbia ?

We try our way and our best here in Switzerland, we need a large alliance and we will teach, we have years for that.
Please, help us.
They are cheating even the votations to stop us, they spent millions to manipulate TV, news, mass-media, academics etc.
They troll internet.
We not need help, and we will all succeed, if it is positive here in Switzerland, you will benefit too.
If you want 100 % at once, you will not climb the mountain. You need to go step by step, we are used to this way because we love mountains and we know how to climb them
Anyway, Switzerland is an exception already and is the most SC country in the world already, we resist to all those ugly empires since 2'000 years, and we will continue.
We are at peace since centuries, we love peace and we know that peace needs the dividend, a social money system without usury and a compensated discount, we understand the A+B thorem, we are on the good wayand it is sometimes to easy to be against people moving ahead, doing some mistakes but at least trying at all levels possible.
They killed Kennedy, the stopped all trials in Canada, show me another concrete better way if you can and anyway, help the little swiss in a fight for a true and feasible economical democracy thanks to a possible robolution.
Some people are pure like angels, but they have no hands. We say in french: "qui fait l'ange fait la bête", People like angels are in fact beasts.
We are humans, with mistakes, but we try our best and Switzerland, the poorest country of the world, no mines, no petrol, no sea, no nothing is in fact one of the richest, because we have an economy based on the spirit of association, with a cross on our flag.
