From:Kenneth Palmerton <kenpalmerton @................uk>

In-Reply-To: <MCBBLOEGDNFMNFMOAAKLEEJFCIAA.donzbeth@ihug.co.nz>
My apologies to all concerned, but this post brings home my frustration in 
not being able to get a grip of all the Fascinating debate that lands in 
my in basket from all sorts  of interesting people, even the abusive ones 
:-)  on the subject that interests and engages me most, that is monetary 
reform. And its PRACTICAL application.

Can Anybody sort me out please.

Which lists should I be in? do they connect? and why do I find it so 
difficult to join what seem the obvious ones???

Especially as there mow seems to be considerable interest in what is STILL 
referred to erroneously as the "Guernsey Experiment".

I have tried to join this correspondence, and I am not at all sure who I 
have made contact with, because posts still arrive that are clearly not 
connected. And some of my attempts to post bounce :-(

As a Channel Islander myself. And having made concerted efforts over a 
long number of years to piece together exactly what the situation is, both 
now, and in the distant past, I have a concerned interest in this 
discussion.

Help please :-)

Ken.

Dear Henry& Kindred Spirits,

Congratulations on your initiative in ordering some copies for Godzone of
"The Policy of a Philosophy".  That angle was one which hooked me into S.C.
in "The Elements of Social Credit" textbook, with almost half of the total
book dissecting, promoting and applying the  scientic (engineering)
philosophies without a single mention of money, till later chapters.

Please send me a copy of your import as soon as it is available, and 
includeon its C.O.D.
Invoice a copy of the newly acquired book by Louis Even ,  which Mrs
Sandford had on show (presumably from you) at our  April  S.C.Institute
Meeting at her home.    Member  John Gibson asked me to get a copy for him
when next in touch with you.  I'll deliver it to  him . Send them to me
please, preferably to  P.O. Box  910,  Hamilton.(Age of Plenty?)

Your initiative in communicating directly with an Officer in the States of
Guernsey asking  for details on the  use of interest free credit seems 
fine,but don't hold your breath on getting something interesting or 
helpful.  Thechances are it will be similar to what you would get from the 
N.Z. Ministerof Finance if you currently wrote  him for details of what 
extent the LabourGovernment in N.Z.  made of  the credit creating capacity 
of the N.Z.Reserve Bank.  Firstly, Electronz actually has a copy of a 
letter from himwhich  asserts that  banks only lend deposits -  which we 
both know isabsolute rubbish, but it makes him
look good to the banking spin doctors.  Secondly, if pressed, Dr. Cullen
will assert that  while a previous Labour Government may have recklessly
played around with credit creation,  it now  only uses "responsible"
policies which are internationally acceptable....

But again, you and I know that the greatest boom in N.Z.'s living standards
was associated with the extensive use of Reserve Bank credit by the first
Labour Government.   From  a different and probably more logical viewpoint,
among the  36 emails in my box this week  referring to the Guernsey
Experiment, virtually all relate to one or more of  6 writers   or
politicians who  contend and apparently believe that locally created notes/
credit/bonds/ debt, or whatever nomenclature is chosen, to finance the
physical infrastructure  of the place, converting it from virtual 
bankruptcyinto a thriving community.  On the other  hand we have one only 
verbosecorrespondent who rails against the absence of  sources and 
references, andthen immediately in his own arrogant way, and with a total 
absence   ofcredible  support or references, damns them as "mythology"  
from the proLincoln  group thousands of miles across the Atlantic.

If this group list is prepared to take seriously one person's  baseless
criticism  of both Social Credit and monetary reform, and  completely
disregard the scores of pages of material , in this instance, written about
the Guernsey Experiment, by a number of different  writers and community
minded people, then the likelihood of this list serving any useful purpose
is zilch.  It's  also just been drawn to my attention that the textbook by
R. Rands,
"The Problem of Money" as reprinted several times in other countries, also
contains a 1.5
page summary of that experiment, which matches all the main points already
covered.

But in case anyone wants to hit me again with a non sequitur stick by 
sayingthat Guernsey was not Social Credit, let me get in first, and 
emphasize thatwhat was done in Guernsey, and Worgyl, and lots of other 
places detailed in"Money the Decisive Factor"  by a couple of highly 
respected U.K. monetaryresearchers, was a demonstration that idle
resources could be mobilized to produce community assets by the proper use
of  community credit, without having to borrow it at interest from the
banks. By coincidence if you like, this is entirely consistent with the
Douglas philosophy of managing the  "Ticket System" of money as a 
mechanism,to achieve specific and desirable results.

    John,

    I agree that although it may not be the only criterion relating to the
worth of an idea or statement, referencing should be complete and precise
insofar as possible.  I believe that in this respect you would be 
relativelypleased with the Canadian edition of British author John W. 
Hughes recent300-page book, "Major Douglas:  The Policy of a Philosophy:" 
(Edmonton:Brightest Pebble Publishing, 2004)  Refer:  
herb@brightest-pebble.com .  Thebook is a very attractive, professionally 
produced and bound paperback whichretails at about $34.95 Cdn. (I would 
expect that it is, or will be,available from the Australian League of 
Rights for those who might prefer toorder "down under.")  The 
printer-publisher has a long history of producingboth popular and academic 
works.

    As to Guernsey, I have sent a direct request to the Guernsey Government
office enquiries@tax.gov.gg, worded as below  (No reply, for what it may be
worth, has been received in the short time since this enquiry was sent.):

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    Inasmuch as there is a considerable discussion and debate on the
Internet regarding the so-called "Guernsey Experiment",  popularized by
Olive and Jan Gruibiak in their book entitled "The Guernsey Experiment",
with which I am sure you are familiar, I would like to enquire as to 
whetheror not the story given in the Grubiaks' book is essentially a 
correctaccount of the financial policy of Guernsey dating back to the 
early 1800's?That is to say, did the States Council, facing a need for 
considerablephysical improvements to the Island and a heavy debt with 
onerous interestcharges making further borrowing and taxation virtually  
impossible,implement a policy of States Notes creation issued without debt 
or attachedinterest charges in order to finance great improvements to the 
infrastuctureof the Island?  Were Notes issued judiciously in this manner 
and retired, asI understand the matter,  with equal care by the means of 
import duties asthese public assets depreciated--the end results being an 
abundance ofamenities, very low taxation, no public debt and a lower 
price-level thanthat on the British mainland?

    Any information which you could provide which might either confirm or
refute the above account would be greatly appreciated inasmuch as this
aspect of Guernsey's historical public financial policy has become widely
promulgated, discussed and debated on the Internet--and setting the record
straight would, I think, provide a valuable public service.

    Yours very sincerely

    Wallace M. Klinck

      Subject: [socialcredit] Guernsey


      I have several times in different places expressed my despair at the
looseness of so many Socred writers in not "referencing" their quotes
precisely.  By contrast, the communists have always done this superbly, 
evenif their references may often have been to lies told by other 
communists. Snow we are faced with a situation with reference to Guernsey 
where one sidesays it's a myth and the other claims it is well documented 
but doesn'tproduce the documentation.  (Sorry, Don., it's not you, it's 
the originalliterature.)

      So we are reduced to the situation where the "myth" exists as a
hypothesis to be disproved.

      I would therefore like our Moderator to produce his proof:

      1. That the construction of the Guernsey marketplace was not financed
debt-free by redeemable (bonds), and,

      2. That it was financed either on loan or by finance provided by
pirates or whatever.

      I'm not interested in a reference to a modern website. If you looked
at an (in)appropriate NZ Govt. one I am sure you would get the inference at
least that banks always lend savings.


      John R.

      <P>I have several times in different places expressed my despair =
at the=20
      looseness of so many Socred writers in not "referencing" their =
quotes=20
      precisely.  By contrast, the communists have always done this =

      superbly, even if their references may often have been to lies =
told by=20
      other communists. S now we are faced with a situation with =
reference to=20
      Guernsey where one side says it's a myth and the other claims it =
is well=20
      documented but doesn't produce the documentation.  (Sorry,=20
      Don., it's not you, it's the original literature.)</P>
      <P>So we are reduced to the situation where the "myth" exists as a =

      hypothesis to be disproved.</P>
      <P>I would therefore like our Moderator to produce his proof: </P>
      <P>1. That the construction of the Guernsey marketplace was not =
financed=20
      debt-free by redeemable (bonds), and,</P>
      <P>2. That it was financed either on loan or by finance provided =
by=20
      pirates or whatever.</P>
      <P>I'm not interested in a reference to a modern website. If you =
looked at=20
      an (in)appropriate NZ Govt. one I am sure you would get the =
inference at=20
      least that banks always lend savings.<BR></P>
