We meet 12.00-14.00 at the SES – for venue details see HERE.
Note also that our Strategy and Tactics outlines are now appended at the end of this notice.
MATTERS IN THE AIR’
EDITORIAL: FOR DISCUSSION. Challenging environmentalism. It is a shared belief among many of us that Carbon neutrality is a red herring. If we are serious about protecting the environment and looking after the planet in our trusteeship, the only durable solution is fundamental reform of the economic system and specifically the abolition of interest on newly created money. Anything less is cosmetic and akin to continuing to climb the wrong mountain. Clive Menzies writes clearly on this matter: http://freecriticalthinking.org/daily-pickings/922-discounting-our-future If we want real change as opposed to tokenisim, we need to alter the political economy: http://freecriticalthinking.org/daily-pickings/924-the-third-flaw-in-the-economic-system See also Eisenstein in April Resurgence

///////////////////////////
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.
Our TACTICS are outlined in these basic papers on Global Table engagements and fundamentals, which you all are invited to update or improve…………
