Money As Debt – Set of 2 DVDs

The first ‘Money as Debt’ DVD is a 47 minute DVD created by Paul Grignon from Gabriola, British Columbia, Canada. It has been in distribution since 2006. I describe it as colourful entertainment with an educational twist. The intent is to share this DVD with people and get them fully interested and halfway to an understanding of all topics related to ‘money as debt.’ Now there is a second DVD “Money As Debt” and both are included as a two-pack DVD.

Paul has interspersed a series of historical banking quotations throughout the DVD. He also uses cartoon characters in a very effective manner to explain ‘What Is Money.’ Then using these cartoon characters to relate a ‘Goldsmith’s Tale’ that explains the history of gold as money and how the idea of interest or usury was conjured up by the goldsmiths who became greedy.

Finally, he presents a good explanation of ‘The Money System Today’ wherein he shows how money in our modern society really represents debt. He shows graphically how banks create money from the borrower’s promissory note. He points out that the amount of money in circulation is equal to the total amount of debt. He also confirms that loans do not come from depositors’ funds which is the misleading impression held by most people.

Paul gives a short history of usury and explains how there was a time in history when every religion opposed usury. He summarizes that the charging of interest or usury is a moral and practical problem in this 21st Century because the banks create the principal of any loan but they never create the interest or usury that is exacted and added to any loan payment. The design flaw of usury is amply illustrated for the evil function that it is.

Finally, Paul spends some time on proposals that will change the orthodox system of usury-based finance. He advocates the usuryfree LETS (Local Employment Trading System) software and illustrates paper notes of usuryfree time currency as usury-free debt money. He shows an example of personalized money with the creator’s picture on it. It visually makes the point that we can issue “personal and usuryfree debt money” without the involvement of banks. Paul recommends that local communities establish independent, local barter networks as the last, best defense against the New World Order’s plans for a one world usury-based, electronic money supply where every transaction is tracked by the system. In summary, usuryfree community currencies are the optimal, emergency-preparedness model for any community.

In closing, Paul presents a permanent usuryfree money proposal that can be implemented by any level of government. Such a proposal would free us from the Economic Dictatorship that currently is the shadow behind all levels of government – municipal, provincial/state and federal.

Most people that I have shown this DVD to say that they want (need) to see it more than once. I recommend this DVD for anyone’s library as it can be a great teaching tool to share with those who are ready and willing to learn what formal education neglects to teach.

The UsuryFree Network is promoting the DVD ‘Money As Debt’ as a fundraiser to raise money for the Seventh Annual UsuryFree Week from November 13th to 19th, 2011. That whole week is being designated as UsuryFree Week and usuryfree creatives in various communities are planning events to recognize that usuryfree living is possible and probable for those who make the choice to free themselves from the scourge of usury. More details about the events to celebrate the Seventh Annual UsuryFree Week will follow in the fall of 2011.

The UsuryFree Network is marketing the ‘Money As Debt’ DVD with a retail value of $25.00 (Canadian Funds) or its equivalency in any other national currency. This is payable in Canadian Funds or in the alternative $20.00 Canadian Funds and $5.00 usuryfree community currency. Any usuryfree community currency is accepted whether in Canada or the United States. Shipping costs are $5.00 and this is payable in Canadian funds.

You are encouraged to buy an extra copy and gift it to any social, environmental or electoral reform group or organization as such groups need to know that unless the money-as-debt-plus-interest system is fundamentally reformed, no other reforms will ever succeed, at least not for long. Encourage these groups to view this entertaining explanation about money and then recommend it to their members and the public. Any further suggestions in this regard are welcomed and appreciated.

My pitch to social justice, environmental and electoral reform activists is that, without monetary reform, political reforms will not achieve the goals intended – fundamental power lies in money creation, not laws. And without electoral reform, monetary reform is not going to happen. In this way, I see the ‘Money As Debt’ DVDs helping to enlist a wide variety of social activists behind the demand for both electoral and monetary reform.

Alternatives to Political Systems, Consumerism, Economics, Financial Management, People Systems, Society — by Craig Mackintosh PRI Editor January 11, 2009

Many of us are watching the current economic crisis with great interest (albeit with a lot of concern). A lot of us could also see it coming. Our modern economic systems are ultimately inviable, based on ever increasing debt and ever enlarging boom and bust cycles. Systemic economic collapse is inevitable, and painful (indeed, disastrous) though it may be, in many ways the sooner it happens the better it will be for the world. Our ecologies are running out of time, the rate of species loss is becoming exponential, the depletion of critical resources is moving ahead apace, and our human population continues to balloon year by year. We have formerly democratic nations heading towards fascism, and a massive consolidation of power giving money-motivated corporations the controlling influence over governments and media. Creating a whole new society will be excruciatingly difficult – but it will be impossible if we’re trying to do so without decent resources left to work with.

Watching the mortgage crisis in the U.S. is frustrating to say the least. We have thousands of defaulters becoming homeless, and yet, as you shall see in the clips below, the money they’ve borrowed to purchase their house was not even the banks – indeed, it didn’t even exist, but is essentially created out of thin air. The bank ‘loans’ money it doesn’t have, then when the borrower defaults, his home becomes the property of the bank – and yet the banks subsequently manage to secure massive bailouts from this same taxpayer.

The current system of money being debt, and debt being money, puts us on a conveyor belt that ensures wealth will always gravitate to those controlling the money supply. People argue over whether we should be on the political ‘left’ (state controlled economies), or ‘right’ (corporate controlled economies) – but each ends in centralisation. One form of control is voted in, the other purchased in. We need to find a ‘third way’, and fast. We need an economic system based on community stewardship/management of natural capital, and one that measures wealth in real terms – health and happiness (think GNH – Gross National Happiness).

Watch the following well-produced clips to get an easy to understand overview of how we got into this mess. Oh, and if any readers out there can come up with a viable blueprint for the needed ‘third way’, we’ll send you a free copy of our Water Harvesting and Food Forest DVDs. It doesn’t sound like much of a reward for saving the world, but just coming up with the plan is only the beginning…. Getting 6.7 billion people to take the plan and run with it is the real mission. If you can do that I’ll personally give you ten million dollars (it’s a safe reward for me to offer, as in the world you’d be creating with your plan, you wouldn’t want or need it…).
