In reply to Eric Encina
The problem with Gordon
Brown is that he is a member of a political elite in the UK, namely the British
parliament, that is wedded to the present system right or wrong. Indeed it is
the Bank of England (a private organisation) that has been responsible for
setting up the present system. Threadneedle street and Wall street between them
control the movement of 98% of all the world's finance. With the best will in
the world I cannot see even such an influencial person as the British Prime
minister being able to do much to alter the system. His Labour Party, the
Conservative opposition Party or the Liberal Democrat party are all financed
from that system they are not going to "Rock-the-boat". Having said that however
it is heartening to see a prominant Western politician actually suggesting that
some form of monetary reform of revision is necessary for the future well
being of our planet.
I perceive a problem when types
of reform are mooted because the present controllers of International finance
will be very unwilling to relinquish that control even if it is to the total
detriment of the planet. Even though they know Gordon Brown is correct they are
not going to abolish their stranglehold on world financial distribution without
a bitter fight.
The worst senario would be that
these controllers would forment International conflict up to and including a
world war to stimulate the world's economy before they would agree to a peaceful
solution to our economic woes.
I don't want to be unduly
pessimistic but I believe things will need to get a whole lot worse before their
hand can be forced. The Keys to the situation lie in the developing economies of
China and India who, when combined, could singlehandedly out produce the rest of
the world put together. It would be at a horrific environmental
cost.

GORDON BROWN AT WEF ON REFORM
by Eric V. Encina
At the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland
this January 2008, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has suggested for the
revamping of international institutions, saying that those systems and
policies created decades ago are no longer up to dealing with today's
challenges.
He said that politicians alone could not meet UN goals set
in 2000 to solve the world's most pressing problems, and so government should
join efforts with the private sectors, non-governmental organizations, faith
groups and others.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown was the featured guest
at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland at its annual meeting. He addressed
some major concerns about the present world economy as one of the main focuses
at the annual gathering of world political and economic leaders against the
backdrop of a US downturn that threatens to mutate if not addressed well into
a world recession.
Gordon Brown is seemed to be a kind of Western-based
leader who is attuned to economic and political reform. And hopefully MONETARY
REFORM! He warned against over-acting, such as resorting to "heavy-handed
regulation," despite of a "testing time for the global economy", while
also rejecting the other side of the coin - "being gripped by or paralyzed
into inaction."
REFORM:
Prime Minister Gordon Brown said: "We
are in a period that if we don't reform our global institution (they) become
irrelevant," making a case for the creation of a "rapid response agency" that
dispatches not only peace-keepers to trouble spots, but police, lawyers
and other experts needed to rebuild society in "failed states". I
HOPE THE REFORM HE IS TALKING ABOUT WOULD BE FOR THE BETTER AND THE
EMANCIPATION OF THE POOR INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH FROM THE EXPLOITATIVE
SYSTEM.
He said that "THE IMF AND THE WB AND THE UNITED NATIONS WERE
BUILT FOR PROBLEMS IN THE 1950'S. HE IS CALLING FOR REFORMS TO MEET THE NEW
CHALLENGES OF GLOBALIZATIONS, CLIMATE CHANGE AND RE-ESTABLISHING ORDER IN
"CONFLICT-RIDDEN STATES."
Another very good specific suggestion of
Prime Minister Brown is the TRANSFORMATION OF THE WORLD BANK OR WB into 'THE
WORLD BANK FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT' - an institution that would
stand ready to underwrite funds for developing countries looking to turn from
carbon-based fuels to alternative energies.
He also called for
revamping the UN that peacekeeping must be linked to stabilization ,
reconstruction and development to avoid perpetuating failed-state status in
developing countries driven by war and other crises.
He said that "You
cannot have a situation where you have failed states and it takes years and
years for the world community to do anything."
Brown spoke bleaky of
lack of progress in meeting a 15-year global development plan, set in 2000 by
global leaders to alleviate world poverty, diseases and hunger then known as
MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS.
I laud Prime Minister Brown for being a
reform-minded UK official which I hope he would consider in the future to
speak the same tone of conviction to REFORM the financial-economic system from
debt-based money creation to debt-free money creation scheme in the UK and in
the world to remedy such world problems.
What do you
think?
