Dear activists,<br><br>
I want to alert you of Stephen Zarlenga's upcoming events,
including one in Palo Alto this Saturday, as well as a new film on Money
that friends of mine made entitled Life on the Edge of a Bubble
(<a href="http://www.lifeontheedgeofabubble.com/).%A0" eudora="autourl">
http://www.lifeontheedgeofabubble.com/). </a> World Centric has been
hosting a series of films on Money and the financial crisis.
Tonight (at 7:30 pm) they will be showing another one, and Zarlenga's
colleague, Steven Walsh, who is writing a book on colonial scrips at the
time of the American Revolution will be leading the discussion that
follows. Dennis Kucinich, who met his wife, Elizabeth, when she was
lobbying for monetary reform for AMI, has introduced the best
legislature, so far to address the financial problem at the root level,
he has been attending the annual Monetary Reform Conferences that
Zarlenga has been organizing annually. My major issue in the 90's
was Money/Global Economics, and I finally read Zarlenga's book last
Christmas (having been sidetracked by the 9/11 issue for many years) and
it covers vital history that I was unaware of. I have great respect
for him and his work. I hope you can attend one of these events, as
I think this issue is incredibly timely. I'm sorry the local event
conflicts with the Spaghetti dinner...<br><br>
All the best!<br>

How did the Banks Break our Money System Again? <br>
Why doesn’t it work for America? <br>
Learn more about money in 3 hours than most economists learn (or will
tell) in a lifetime! <br>
The Seminar will Discuss: * America's Monetary Power has been usurped and
privatized, leading to collapse and ultimately unemployment and warfare!
* How and why the money power must be restored to society where it can be
used to promote the general welfare, instead of corrupt private
agendas.<br>
* How the money power became privatized, and is kept in place by
false theory. <br>
* A three step program that restores it to society. <br>
* Why we should nationalize the Money System (the Federal reserve) NOT
the banking system. (banking isn't a proper function of government, but
the money supply is a government prerogative) <br>
* Why inflation need not be a problem. <br>
* How the facts demonstrate that counter to prevailing prejudice,
governmental control of money has a far superior record than private
control.<br>
* Why it is crucial that the power to create any part of our money
supply be completely removed from banks, for any reform to work. This is
a hands on do-able reality based program, not a theory, with many U.S.
historical precedents, and more going as far back as Classical Greece and
Rome. The Money system acts like a fourth branch of government, generally
affecting our daily lives more than the Executive, Judicial and
Legislative branches combined. Yet it has been privatized and is largely
outside the control of our democratic system of checks and balances where
it has unfairly concentrated wealth to obscene levels among other
injustices. <br>
The American Monetary Institute is America’s leading think tank focusing
on monetary history, theory and reform. Each September we hold a 3 day
monetary reform conference at Roosevelt University, where cutting edge
experts speak on those subjects. Each quarter the Institute offers this
free introductory seminar. This seminar is designed for people who’d like
a good background on how our money system works, why its not working
well, how to fix it, and what benefits would follow in terms of
infrastructure and health care and education; and how our society has the
power to begin creating a superior future world, instead of getting mired
in stupidity and warfare.

About Stephen Zarlenga-<br><br>
<font size=4>Stephen Zarlenga draws on 35 years of experience in the
world of finance, securities, insurance, mutual funds, real estate, and
futures trading. He has published 20 books on money, banking, politics
and philosophy (including The Anglo American Establishment, by Prof.
Carrol Quigley). While in his mid 20s he incorporated the Athenian branch
of an English life insurance company, earlier opening several European
markets for the parent firm, IOS. <br>
A few years later he built the U.S. distribution network of the then
leading American mutual fund concentrating in gold shares. As a member of
the New York Futures Exchange (a subsidiary of the New York Stock
Exchange) he specialized in trading the complex CRB futures index for
several years. Thus the author is more than familiar with both the
practical and theoretical sides of our market economy. Yet he calls into
question and challenges the basis, and Achilles’ heel, of American
Capitalism: the private control and resulting misdirection of the
nation’s monetary system.</font> <br><br>
<font size=4>Stephen Zarlenga holds a degree in Psychology from the
University of Chicago (and has done postgraduate work at NYU), where he
was in the final graduating class under the revered Hutchins’ curriculum
which focused on critical reading and thought. This training, combined
with his work experience, and years of research, enabled him to
re-formulate the Lost Science of Money.<br>
The author began focused research on the money problem in 1991,
eventually drawing on over 800 monetary source books and materials to
formulate this thesis. In 1996, he helped establish the American Monetary
Institute to further the research. In 1999, Conzett Verlag of Zurich,
Switzerland translated and published the work in German. This expanded
English version released in 2002, establishes the author as a leading
voice in the field of monetary history, theory and reform.<br>
Tonight's film at World Centric in Palo Alto-</font> <br><br>
<ul>
<ul>
<ul>
<ul>
May 1st: I.O.U.S.A. <br><br>
<ul>
I.O.U.S.A. the movie boldly examines the rapidly growing national debt
and its consequences for the United States and its citizens. With
surgical precision, Creadon interweaves archival footage and economic
data to paint a vivid and alarming profile of America's current economic
situation. The ultimate power of I.O.U.S.A. is that the film moves beyond
doomsday rhetoric to proffer potential financial scenarios and propose
solutions about how we can recreate a fiscally sound nation for future
generations. (85 mins, 2009) <br>
