Unique opportunity for voters in referendum

Eamon Ó Cuív has shaken off the straightjacket of his party’s political whip and shown much-needed leadership by his refusal to endorse the European fiscal compact before there has been any real public debate on it, and the fundamental flaws in a deeply fraudulent international banking and monetary system remain unadressed and often unrecognised.

Now that attempts to prevent an Irish referendum have backfired, we have a valuable breathing space to clarify exactly how the impoverishment of our country (and indeed of others) has come about. This is not a general election and political parties should not seek or campaign to influence the vote. The electorate needs only full access to all relevant facts in relation to the critical decision before them.

May I direct readers to a comprehensive documentary on the history of banking and usury, entitled The Money Masters. It can be found on the resources section of a website of a new organisation called People for World Peace and Prosperity at www.itsyestoppp.org. Booms and busts are caused primarily by the calculated manipulation of the availability of credit by privately owned and unaccountable banking consortia in order to concentrate their wealth at the expense of debtor and taxpayer.

This is achieved partly by the practice of fractional reserve banking, i.e. the creation of “virtual” money. Addressing this core problem is essential if we are to reduce debt burdens and minimise the gap between tax receipts and public expenditure. We will need to think carefully before enshrining unjust and clearly unsustainable debt into our Constitution.

The Attorney General’s decision has given Ireland a new and unique opportunity to exert a positive and remedial influence on European affairs.
