		<description>Hi, have just found this site after being a regular contributor to various consumer forums and being directed here by other members.  Really interested in all of this but have a very limited knowledge of how such matters are &#039;handled&#039; day to day.  Guess I would be typical of the British citizen then!  The more I read the more I don&#039;t understand in the sense that all of this seems contrary to all things the reasonable person would consider to be good.  How on earth did we get to this state and how did the banks attain such a grasp on us all?  Agree it&#039;s a governmental issue but appreciate the monumental task involved so looking forward to learning more.  Given the fact that those in power all are cut from the same cloth how can such changes be made?  Frustrated, angry but ever hopeful!  Keep the great work up and let&#039;s hope more people can learn what is really happening around them, volume and insight must be a major factor in the battle ahead.</description>

		<description>It seems that more and more people are waking up to the fact that money is created by banks and not the government.
Only a week ago Darius Guppy who went to eton with Boris and Cameron wrote an almost perfect summary of the problem for the Daily Telegraph. (which amazes me as it is a mainstrem news provider)

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/personal-view/7273332/Darius-Guppy-our-world-balances-on-a-sea-of-debt.html

If Darius is aware of this it makes me think that Cameron and Boris also know the truth.  

I agree completely with Lee Gear that educating the masses with more simple and exciting material is key.  That is why I am making a short film showing what money is and where it comes from. It will be simple and stylized to make it as interesting as possible with no jargon.

		<description>Hi Ben,

Great stuff you are doing. I have known about this going 3yrs now and my journey in telling others has been fabulous. After seeing a link about your pdf &quot;Easy Solutions&quot; on our forum I forwarded it to over 500 people. Simply put and all there.

Your mission will spread and grow. I have had some replies about who and what the BoE is and if you want to check on the truth behind that one, lol, I would recommend a great book by Ellen Hodgson Brown &quot;The Web of Debt&quot;.

Tons of knowledge, quotes, facts and figures. Anyone that has read that book will change their view on the world around us.

My thanks also to the Money Reform Party, before I heard of them, I thought this was all American mumbo jumbo.

People, wake up. It&#039;s all true but it&#039;s not too late to take action. Or we will see the repeat of the Reichsmark all around the world. There&#039;s only one currency of value left. Silver and Gold, the rest is just paper and the belief in it&#039;s value, the only thing giving it value is diminishing. We can&#039;t just print more and expect prices to be the same, lol.

Economists and Politicians and Journalists, know the truth. They just don&#039;t want to be the messenger that got slaughtered by the masses......

All fact, no fiction.

All the best,

Stuart</description>

		<description>Hi Lee, thanks for your comments. Getting the message out in an accessible way is definitely key to making any progress with this - there are a few things in the pipeline in this area. 

Quantitative easing has been slated in the press as &#039;inflationary&#039;, usually by writers who don&#039;t understand that the banking system increases the money supply by around £200bn per year already. However, the big problem with quantitative easing under the current system is the following: the £125bn created by the Bank of England will then be multiplied by the banking system to create around £1,250bn of debt. If our current debt of ~£1,800bn was enough to cause one of the worst recessions in history, then what do we expect to happen when total debt is around £3,000bn? 

In short - the quantitative easing in the UK (and the bailouts in the US) will only get the public into even more debt. It allows us to get out of this recession a bit quicker, but lays the foundation for an even bigger one around for about 2015-17.</description>

		<description>Dear Ben,
          
I would like to commend you on your website and the work you are doing. I am glad I have recently found your, Anne&#039;s and Sabine&#039;s sites. I was beginning to think I was the only person in the UK (maybe the World) who wanted to do something about what i have recently discovered through research of my own, off my own back unaware of such sites parties and groups. This demonstrates that the general public have to ask questions alone and want to look for the answers, which sadly i have found out generally they don&#039;t. It would seem its a case of &quot;they don&#039;t understand&quot; or &quot;they don&#039;t believe it&quot; I must say at first i had to research the people in the documentaries and the authors of the books I read just to check they were not conspiracy theorists, such was my disbelief.

I have a suggestion: 
The only way I see it, for any kind of &quot;monetary Reform&quot; to take place would be obviously to educate the masses. Now if we get too technical with facts and figures most people will &quot;switch off&quot; such is the influence of popular culture in society (a thing which i know a thing or two about having a Bsc in Music technology and sound production which included business, mass communication and pop culture especially audio/visual) My idea is to put policies, &quot;the creation of money&quot;, monetary reform and all other important issues into simple to understand forms of media incorporating pop culture and social issues as a theme ie. use the media as the corporations that thrive off this current system have done so well. I suppose we would be fighting &quot;fire with fire&quot; to quote the parlance of our times. Another suggestion would be Public Service announcements and attempting to liase with the current mass media with a view to do a story on these issues, this in my opinion would take a pooling of ALL support and resources, I see already Ben you have two new friends ^^^

I would like to conclude with a question......
What do you think about &quot;quantitative Easing&quot; being used by the bank of England as a way to take inflation up from 0.5% up to roughly the governments target of 2%? (by the way this 2% target confuses me because the Bank of England say they don&#039;t want it stuck at 2% they want if to float around that mark? and how can they be exact with the figures when the Bank of England want to inject 75 Billion and the Chancellor said they can create 150 billion Pounds sterling?)  

Yours Hopefully Lee Gear</description>

		<description>Dear Ben,

Great site. Good work!

You might be happier working alone or you might like to link up with other money reformers, whether as individuals or as members of groups. If the latter, send me an email,

Best Wishes,
