A July 4th message to friends of the American Monetary Institute,

Dear Fellow Americans, and friends around the Earth,
This 4th of July as we proudly celebrate our declaration of independence 
from the tyranny of a mad Brit King, lets remember the victory a small 
group of dedicated, courageous men and women achieved against the 
world's most powerful military of their time.

It was a victory that appeared extremely improbable at best, as they 
pledged their lives to fight for its success. And as events and battles 
were fought, the possibility of a favorable outcome grew even smaller. 
But at the right moment, help from France turned the tide and the 
British were defeated.

Defeated militarily, but not monetarily. For soon after the Constitution 
was ratified, in 1791 the 1st Bank of the United States, a privately 
owned and privately controlled central bank was put through Congress by 
Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, modeled on the private Bank of 
England. The gang around that bank were more dangerous than King George 
the 3rd; and the Hamilton people thereby insinuated into the New World 
forces representing the most evolved secular form that evil had attained 
in the Old World. Thanks a lot Hamilton!

Jefferson fought the bank, helping to bring it down and Burr killed 
Hamilton over public insults; but privately issued money had gained a 
foothold in America. It's still here, in control of our monetary system. 
It's the root cause of most of our social and economic problems. 
Whenever it caused crises in the past, our government had to come to the 
rescue. It's latest atrocity is the current monetary, banking and 
economic crisis, threatening to take the entire world economy down into 
depression, and destroy the lives of billions of people in the process.

It must end now. This crisis gives us our only opportunity to reform our 
monetary system and eliminate the private creation of money; to 
eliminate the privilege banks have to create our money supply when they 
extend loans.
The American Monetary Institute has published its research results in 
the book The Lost Science of Money (drawn from a study of over 800 
monetary books and sources). The first 23 chapters focus on the monetary 
case studies from Aristotle forward. Then Chapter 24 summarizes what 
those studies teach us and how that should be applied to solving today's 
dilemma. The American Monetary Act puts that plan into legislative form.

Each September (24th - 27th in 2009) we hold a monetary reform 
conference at Roosevelt University in Chicago where activists and 
advanced monetary researchers present talks and programs on monetary 
reform. There is a Discount ($295 instead of $395) for registrations 
mailed by July 15th. See the brochure now!

The American Monetary Act (attached) is legislation which fundamentally 
reforms the
private CREDIT/DEBT system now wrecking our nation, replacing it with a 
government MONEY system.

HOW: The Federal Reserve becomes incorporated into the U.S. Treasury. 
Banks no longer have the accounting privilege of creating our money 
supply. All their previously issued credit is converted into U.S. Money 
through an elegant and gentle accounting change, which has been 
described as brilliant by a former officer of the NY Fed. The banks are 
held accountable for this conversion. New money is then introduced by 
the government spending it into circulation for infrastructure, starting 
with the $2.2 trillion the engineers tell us is needed to properly 
maintain our infrastructure over the next 5 years. Infrastructure will 
include the necessary human infrastructure of health care and education.

Banks are encouraged to continue lending as profit making companies, but 
are no longer allowed to create our money supply by loan making activity.

Thus, The American Monetary Act nationalizes the money system, not the 
banking system. Banking is absolutely not a proper function of 
government, but providing the nation’s money supply is a key function of 
government. No one else can do it properly. Talk of nationalizing the 
banking business may really act like a poison pill to block real reform.

Despite prejudice against government, most people are surprised to learn 
that history shows government has a far superior record in controlling 
the money system than private controllers have. And yes that includes 
the continental currency, the Greenbacks and even the German 
Hyperinflation; which by the way took place under a completely 
privatized German central bank!

WHO: The American Monetary Institute, organized in 1996 as a publicly 
supported charitable trust, is the leading U.S. think tank on monetary 
history, theory and reform.

WHY: Because the crisis our present malformed banking and money system 
has caused is crying out for reform, not merely regulation. It has 
visibly brought the world economy to its knees; it has concentrated 
wealth to unacceptable levels, and it now places the future development 
of humanity at risk.

WHY? Considering the nature of modern weapons systems, leaving the same 
people and families in power risks the survival of the species. Some of 
them watching the past 16 years, must realize that. Lets hope they do 
the right thing. But lets not depend on it!

I mentioned that the French played a key part at the start of our 
nation. Today their gift to us of the Statue of Liberty still plays a 
crucial role for us and for humanity. The liberty she symbolizes does 
not exist in our nation. It never really has. The Statue has always been 
a symbol encouraging us towards the possible. I love that statue and 
when I stayed in New York, I often anchored my motor boat under it, and 
some of my fondest memories are of those times as the sun set over New 
Jersey, still reflecting off the Twin Towers; or anchored under the 
spectacular fireworks display there during the bicentennial celebration.

Friends, we are all under pressure in this environment. Stress will 
cause illness unless you act. Action will destroy fear! Good action 
towards truth will change the world. Join with us to understand the 
nature of our money system, how it should be structured and how we 
citizens can effect such change. Thats what our country's founders would 
be doing now if they were of our time. Thats what men and women of good 
will, can be doing now!
Well thats it for now. Get in touch! Stay in Touch! Read the book. Come 
to the conference!
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!
