Well here we are, only a few days before the end of the year, how will you spend your last few days?

Anyway here is Money as Debt part 4 of 5. We are almost at the end of the videos and my blogs about them.

In this video we will find out what usury is and why it was frowned upon. Also the author also suggests his ideas on how to fix the system. These ideas sound great but (maybe I’m just cynical) I find it hard to believe that people would trust the government that much or that those who govern could be trusted… “Absolute power corrupts absolutely”.

Would love to hear your thoughts on it.

Enjoy

A friend sent me this “lovely cake recipe” as a Christmas gift and I thought it worth sharing, even if you’re like me and you don’t do much baking… (actually I could hardly read it through my tears of laughter!)

Christmas Cake
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 stick butter
1 cup of water
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup of brown sugar
Lemon juice
4 large eggs
Nuts
1 bottle brandy
2 cups of dried fruit

Sample the brandy to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the brandy again. To be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Repeat. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point it’s best to make sure the brandy is still OK. Try another cup… Just in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 eggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit.

Pick the stupid fruit up off floor. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver. Sample the brandy to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something. Check the brandy. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find. Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don’t forget to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the window. Finish the brandy and wipe counter with the cat.
Bingle Jells!

Money as debt here it is, the third instalment.

I found this episode to be rather negative and not giving any grounds for creating money any other way than through debt. But it is still very educational and gives a good understanding of our money system and asks some provocative questions.

In this video you will learn –

1. What would happen to our economy if all debt was paid off?
2.How it is that the people who create the real wealth in the world are in debt to the bankers.
3. Where we get the money to pay of the interest that is created by our loan?

Watch this video closely and you will see that our current government are making headlines by doing some of these things.

Are we really headed for a meltdown, can the government spent and borrow its way out? Should we be scared, worried or see it as and opportunity?

It’s our choice.

Just use the search tool on the right and scroll through the Author List to find Andrew in the A’s.

We are currently putting together our newsletter, but to give you a sneak preview – the names of our winners will be announced here first.

Last night we enjoyed a small, relaxing party in the park, where our friend Ben Newby (aided by an enthusiastic Ethan) drew the following names out of the hat…
Winner of the $20 gift voucher - Greg Miller (Dubbo)
Winner of the $50 gift voucher - Tim Griffiths (Brisbane)
Winner of the $100 gift voucher – Nicolas Taylor (Grenfell)

CONGRATULATIONS! And the thought occurs to me… where were the girls names? I know they were in the hat, as Ethan pulled every members name out of the hat… so maybe next time girls!

And now… I must get back to the newsletter – I want to pack it full of excitement, keep it short enough and inspiring enough to get readers to the other end – and of course, to complete the year with gratitude.

Money as Debt Episode 2 is now here as promised. I got some great feedback on the last one and thought I would share some of it with you…

The money as debt is a good easy to understand way to explain monetary policy. Bit more interesting than some of my textbooks; though hardly comprehensive and seems to give it such a negative slant. Cam

The slant may be negative… But is it true and what’s the positive side? I would love to hear your thoughts.

In this video you will find out…

1. How the bank can take $1111.12 and conjure up around $100,000.00 to charge you and I interest on.
2. What the Fractional Reserve Requirement is.
3. Do the banks really use deposited money as loan money like people think?
4. How banks lend money they do not have.

Here’s Money as Debt Episode 2

Stay tuned for episode 3 of Money as Debt next Monday.

Thanks for the feedback! I have just been chatting with our newest member Norma Stein from NZ, who I was delighted to meet last week in Sydney. (Norma is also a friend of Julie Woods, That Blind Woman from NZ, so again, not a story but an introduction - watch this space…)

Norma was telling me that she appreciates the Birds Eye View feature and I remembered a note from Felicity Newton recently “I have been a Create the Life Club member now for a few months and have found this website very user friendly and very helpful. I love the “Birds Eye View” page and actually go to this page regularly.”

So I thought it worth highlighting - it is really useful, and I will be using it more myself - thanks girls! The drop down menu’s area also great, especially if you know the author or topic you are looking for, but Birds Eye View is something that I’ve not fully appreciated until today.

Enjoy finding some really useful resources, and please - keep up the feedback - it means we can continue to improve, learn faster and support you more!

Have a fabulous day,
Love Kerrie

Money as Debt By Paul Grignon is the name of a video a friend of mine sent me the other day. It was forty-seven minutes long so it took me a while to get around to watching it but when I did, it was really worth taking the time out to view.

The video is an animated presentation how our banking system came to be and how it evolved into the huge money making business it is today. Also explaining what money is and how it is created. It truly is eye opening to find out how the banks create money from nothing (then charge us exorbitant fees,) now that the International Gold Standard has been removed.

Now, knowing you are busy and taking that much time out of your day is a big chunk, so I have done you a favor.

This is the first of 5 blogs that will contain this video broken up into bite size pieces of less than 10 mins each. You will be able to view a new episode every Monday for the next 5 weeks.

Weather you agree with how the banks do this or you think it just one big conspiracy; it is an eye opening video. Click the play button below and enjoy the story of the Goldsmith.

It’s a bit slow to start so persist with it for a moment.

Money as Debt episode 1

Keep an eye out next monday for the next episode of Money as Debt.
