DSC plan for financial reform

Today the Democrats for social credit Leadership released a 7 point plan designed to establish the framework for a social credit economy in New Zealand. Leader Stephnie de Ruyter and Deputy Leader John Pemberton said the DSC Plan for Financial Reform offers a workable solution to the financial turmoil resulting from the global credit crisis. The following 7 point plan will reform the inherently unstable financial system. This is achieved by replacing toxic debt-based commercial bank credit with social credit. The issue of social credit will be the sole means of money coming into existence and continuing to exist – and will be issued in the public interest, to serve the common good. 1. ‘Monetary Authority New Zealand (MANZ)’ will be established as the only institution with the power to create, issue, and cancel New Zealand’s money. 2. Trading Banks will become licenced agents of MANZ. Trading Banks will only be able to advance to their customers that money which has been made available by MANZ. The trading bank’s primary role will be to serve the commercial interests of the economy – business and corporate customers. 3. Specialist savings institutions, charged with serving the investment needs of New Zealanders and not the profit of overseas shareholders, will be encouraged. This refers to Credit Unions, PSIS, TSB and any other Community type banks. 4. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand, renamed as “Infrastructure New Zealand” (INZ), will take on the specialist role of managing investment monies required for low economic yield social investment such as: housing; roading; environmental and local authority infrastructure. 5. The division within the Reserve Bank which carries out the supervisory role over banks and financial institutions will be transformed into a stand-alone, independent, publically owned organisation. 6. MANZ will be charged with identifying the income shortfall between total prices and total incomes (The Gap). Debt free money will be made available by MANZ to the New Zealand Government to fund “Kiwi Income” (KI), in the form of a national dividend to every resident New Zealander. MANZ will also be able to fund Health, Education and Environmental projects - in ways that decrease the call on family incomes. 7. MANZ will be responsible for the availability and flow of working funds necessary to facilitate trade with other nations. MANZ will ensure that the money made available by each nation for trade is backed by the real value of goods and services. MANZ will facilitate an exchange of equivalent value with no undue influence from currency, and other, speculators. DSC is the only political party of reform with a comprehensive plan that will take New Zealand forward into a more just and sustainable future as an independent and sovereign democracy. The time is right for social credit to replace social debt in New Zealand.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand

New Zealand's Central Reserve Bank is STATE owned. Despite that, instead of being used for the benefit of its owners, the people of New Zealand, successive Governments have: Allowed the foreign-owned trading banks to create and issue nearly all of the nation's money supply and claim it as their own. Notes and coins make up less than three percent of the money in circulation. Ninety seven percent of our money supply is on loan to us at interest from those banks. Actively encouraged banks to charge "rental" for this money at some of the highest interest rates in the developed world. Used high interest rates as a blunt lever to control inflation, while agreeing to exclude the resultant costs from the Price Index, so that their cost-inflationary effects do not allow pensions and awards to compensate for these. Deliberately used interest rate fluctuations to maintain an unemployed "pool" of about four percent of the workforce in order to hold down wage rates. Fa...

Show Me the “Monetary Reform” David Cunliffe!

Show Me the “Monetary Reform” David Cunliffe! Following Phil Goff’s release of Labour’s Finance Manifesto today, David Cunliffe has said in a New Zealand Labour Party press release : “Labour is backing the drive for more high value exports with monetary reform ...” I challenge David Cunliffe, Labour’s Finance Spokesperson, to front up and explain what he means by the term ‘monetary reform’. If he means replacing toxic debt-based commercial bank credit with social credit, as the sole means of money coming into existence and continuing to exist – issued in the public interest, to serve the common good - then I would endorse his definition. And if he accepts that it’s crazy for our government to borrow from foreign lenders, with interest, when we could use the publicly-owned Reserve Bank of New Zealand as an independent statutory monetary authority with the sole power to create, issue, and cancel New Zealand’s money, then I applaud his endeavours. But if Mr. Cunliffe thinks ‘mo...

Oil speculators are making a killing now - Money speculators have been doing it for centuries.

Oil can be bought and sold many times over, even before it comes out of the ground, but eventually oil will run out. Its scarcity factor can be managed simply by turning on and off the taps. Other commodities have had their day in the sun but one by one are replaced by the next opportunity for speculation. Money, on the other hand, is different in one key way - it can be created out of thin air at very little expense and will never run out. Those who are in control of the money creation process have quietly gone about their business - Creating money; Turning the money taps on and off; Speculative buying and selling of money - for centuries.
