“WORLD IN A MESS”

The world is in a mess, a complete mess no matter from which angle it is viewed. It is a manmade mess and so can be cleaned up by man. One thing is obvious. The job cannot be left to experts, for it is the experts who have made the mess or who have condoned it.

It is apparently our orthodox leaders’ job to point the way, not to lead the way. The fact that they have been pointing the way for 2000 years and that the powers of darkness now threaten the world and our civilisation with extinction apparently fails to register with the majority. Ignorance of simple facts in economics and finance which stand out so obviously today on the path of life is no more a legitimate excuse than is a plea of ignorance of the law of the land before a Magistrate. It is obvious that the people of this country and all major countries, are kept in a state of financial slavery, as no matter how hard they work or how much they produce, perpetual national debt, necessitating perpetual taxation to pay the perpetual interest thereon is their lot.

It is obvious that neither of the two orthodox political parties can or will do anything about such financial slavery. The battle of the “ins” and the “outs” is beginning to pall on very many thousands of electors. To them it is just pure humbug, and the number of those who think along those lines grows every day. Wealth and freedom could easily be made available by a change to Social Credit financing. Somewhere, sometime, enough men and women will insist on the issue of consumer dividends added to wages, but not to prices, according to the Social Credit formulae; and when this happens the double cross of debt and deceit will be no more. Then will come a new prosperity that will surpass anything hitherto dreamed of by the most optimistic of men. Social Credit is the only key to permanent peace and a genuine prosperity.
