Banks defunding people for political reasons should be against the law. I suppose they were pressured to do so by politicians? It's like lawfare but in the financial realm -- the same kind of fascist/totalitarian corruption.

Yes, it is totalitarian corruption, deeper than politics. Totalitarianism transcends political parties.

The Bradbury Pound: an alternative currency issued by UK Treasury in 1914

https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2112258-The-Bradbury-Pound-an-alternative-currency-issued-by-UK-Treasury-in-1914

On the 7th August 1914, in order to avoid a run on the banks, the Treasury issued Treasury Notes signed by John Bradbury - a form of national credit backed by the credit of the nation.

That this House notes that the hundredth anniversary of the Bradbury Pound on 7 August 2014 is a welcome reminder of the historic precedent for public credit as the sound basis for debt-and interest-free Treasury money and therefore the sound alternative to the national debt and interest-bearing bank money; congratulates the Forum for Stable Currencies for having promoted the public credit since 2002; and urges HM Treasury to follow John Bradbury's model and address social, economic and political issues across party lines in one fell swoop and avoid wholly unnecessary austerity cuts.

Hi Ellen I asked once before but maybe this has changed. I want to invest in the bank of North Dakota couldn’t they sell bonds or some other instrument. If they would create someway for people to invest in them I think many would and this would spur other states to follow quickly. They weathered the last storm quite nicely didn’t they?

Thanks for sticking with this Ellen. I thought Berkeley and Oakland had put together a Public Bank? David Delk still has a few people on his committee but so far no action in Portland, Oregon.

Berkeley and Oakland have bills in progress. The East Bay group has funding and a CEO but is waiting on approval of a business plan to apply for a charter.

If Ellen was president and tried to do what she talks about, she would be assasinated like every president who tried to make the money system public. Jackson, attempted, assassinations because he opposed the private Bank of the United States, Lincoln who created the Greenback, McKinley who was going to use silver. and JFK who issued Silver Certificates, bypassing The Fed.

Thanks. I can think of other reasons not to run, even if that were a possibility! :-)

Well, humbly, I am certain Humanity would be better off without the need to account for Our energy added into a system... Here's why:

Thanks! :-)

This information makes a great (and ironic) addition to the public banking saga. I have often said: as they centralize, we decentralize. Now they have to play whack-a-mole.

We are now working to form a "private membership alliance" to further money-wrench them.
