MATTERS IN THE AIR’
EDITORIAL: FOR continuing DISCUSSION.
1.- Various proposals relating to General Election 2015.
2. Use we are making of the new ‘Model Charter’ and ‘Ten Theses’ on the Statecraft of Greed in the difficulty of distinguishing between Re-form and Re-design.
3. In terms of application within Christian witness see a new report in the website THE ART OF THEOLOGICAL AUDITING readily translatable into other metaphors of relevance.
4. Our STRATEGY is to seek ways to communicate the quintessential significance of
:- LAND: The economic rent of all nature provided resources to be the source of public revenue
:- MONEY: The currency of society is to be issued on behalf of the people of that society interest free [given agreed costs] as a public utility.
:- A BASIC MEANS OF LIVELIHOOD for all. A welfare security provision in the form of a living income is to be sourced for every citizen as of right—unconditionally. This replaces the current means-testing bureaucratic arm of the state.
:- CORPORATE PERSONHOOD – challenging this dangerous legal fiction.
