///////////////////////////
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………… – Initiatives with which associates engage – http://globaltable.org.uk/wp/?page_id=44 – Fundamentals of a sane economy – http://globaltable.org.uk/wp/?page_id=376 – Resources..to be listed soon…………. – Calender 2014 – http://www.globaltable.org.uk/wp/?page_id=323
