///////////////////////////
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…………
