We send you our annual 4th of July message in the hope that you have not become too discouraged with the recent acts against our nation, such as insane "Supreme" Court decisions, which we regard as a kind of slow moving coup de'etat.A happy Fourth to you,
Sincerely,

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 and take courage from 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 our ally 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 non governmental 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 - a privately controlled Central Bank, based on using banker debt for money, instead of government issued money. Thanks a lot Hamilton!
Thomas Paine, Father of the Revolution commented on his return from France, that a "faction operating in disguise" had arisen to promote that bank!
Jefferson fought the bank, helping to bring it down and Burr killed Hamilton over public insults; (Thank you Burr!) but banker 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, which has taken the entire world economy down into depression, and is harming 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 banker creation of money; to eliminate the privilege banks have to create our money supply when they extend loans; to eliminate using debt for money! Folks that is always the key. Anyone expressing a favorable view of money based on debt, for whatever reason, is a part of the problem.
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. (If you don't have and read a copy of that book, then what are you waiting for? Purchasing the book is a most productive way you can assist our activities.The American Monetary Act (and Kucinich's HR 2990) puts that plan into legislative form. See http://www.monetary.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/HR-2990.pdf
For those of you who really don't like reading, we have the main points summarized in our free 32 page brochure which is at http://www.monetary.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/32-page-brochure.pdf
But folks understand that if you don't like to read there is little chance you can become a real part of the solution! We publish the 32 pager to whet your appetite for knowledge.
This fall (October 2-5, 2014) we hold our 10th Annual Monetary Reform Conference at University Center in Chicago where activists and advanced monetary researchers from around the world present talks and programs on monetary reform. We are doing what we can to keep the cost low, as the crazy austerity policies facilitated by foolish economists (i.e. most economists) are harming the entire nation including those advancing monetary reform. We have set the attendance donation low at $225 for reservations made by July 18th. See the speakers now at http://www.monetary.org/2014schedule.html
Hopefully some scholarships will be available - do ask!
Hotel accommodations at only $33 per night are available at the outstanding Hostel International, across the street from University Center (no membership needed; no curfew; no age limits!)
One of our main successes has been helping Dennis Kucinich create and introduce the N.E.E.D. act (National Emergency Employment Defense Act) into the 112th Congress, which fundamentally reforms the bankers CREDIT/DEBT system now wrecking our nation, (and the whole World), replacing it with a government MONEY system.
HOW: The Federal Reserve is dismantled; the few good parts become incorporated into the U.S. Treasury. Only our government creates our money: Banks no longer have the accounting privilege of creating what we use for money. All of 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, owing it to our government when people repay their loans from the banks.
New money is then introduced by the government spending, not loaning 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. Totaling $5 trillion by 2020. Infrastructure will include the necessary human infrastructure of health care and education.

Totaling $5 trillion by 2020. 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 what we use for our money supply.
Thus, The American Monetary Act and HR 2990, nationalizes the money system, not the banking system. Banking is absolutely not a proper function of any level of government, but providing the nation’s money supply is a key function of government. No one else can do it properly.
Talk of having states go into banking is at best a meaningless distraction, since it allows the same banks and same people to remain in control of our nation, using the same tactic - basing money on their debt. It further legitimizes the pernicious fractional reserve system, instead of fixing the problem by ending it. And it does this at the one time when real reform is possible, because of the crisis created by the banking system. It is truly mind-boggling how some so called progressives would be fooled by such nonsense!
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! These facts are clear in reading The Lost Science of Money book.
WHO WILL EDUCATE OUR PEOPLE AND CONGRESS ? The Universities have failed; therefore the American Monetary Institute, organized in 1996 as a publicly supported charitable trust, the leading U.S. think tank on monetary history, theory and reform, must do it.
WHY: Because the crisis our present malformed banking and money system has caused have again brought the world economy to its knees; it has concentrated wealth to obscene levels, and it now places the future development of humanity at risk.
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 lived 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, reflecting off the still standing 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!
