Deja Vue otherwise known as This Shit Has Happened Before

I was going to write a post about the history of social work and realised I should at least do some research:) With the worldwide web at my fingertips, as long as I pay my bill, I entered the term, history of social work into the search engine and found in the first instance, the following information: http://historyofsocialwork.org/eng/index.php this first publication lists individuals who have contributed to and or had an impact in some way on the development of social work. Elizabeth Fry 1780 - 1845 is the first person mentioned in this article, so I scanned through and it makes for an interesting read, not least because of the inclusion of the head of Elizabeth Fry on pieces of paper, which in reality and as stated upon one side are, promissory notes or as is more commonly known "money" whilst the promissory note bearing the head of Elizabeth Fry upon it, is generally/commonly called a "fiver" 

At the bottom of the article is a link to the Bank of England and being somewhat curious I followed this link, as you do and found a very interesting nugget of information, link provided here: http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/Pages/default.aspx - I decided to copy and paste the text as this paragraph highlights/informs as to the basis of money creation and issuance and tells you all you need to know about the psychological/financial scam being perpetrated.

"The Bank of England has been issuing banknotes for over 300 years. During that time, both the notes themselves and their role in society have undergone continual change. From today's perspective, it is easy to accept that a piece of paper that costs a few pence to produce is worth five, ten, twenty or fifty pounds. Gaining and maintaining public confidence in the currency is a key role of the Bank of England and one which is essential to the proper functioning of the economy" 

If it therefore "costs a few pence to produce" as the Bank of England claim, why is anyone going without because of a lack of enough pieces of paper, why do interest rates change and inevitably rise, why do children, families, individuals, communities and countries experience and suffer financial hardship, bankruptcy and have austerity measures imposed upon them, when it only "costs a few pence to produce" this paper. Surely enough could be printed, without anyone/anywhere at any time having to go without anything ever. Why isn't it distributed as it is in the game of monopoly, where all the players are issued with the same amount at the beginning of the game, from rememberance of playing monopoly and more often than not losing, the issuance of the money is followed/observed in an almost drooling and ritualistic fashion.

One of the Bank of England's "key roles" is "gaining and maintaining public confidence in the currency" and "is essential to the proper functioning of the economy" Notice the bank doesn't describe banknotes as money or ascribe any value to them aside from "a few pence"


As the "Bank of England has been issuing banknotes for over 300 years you would think they would have got it right by now, given they have the monopoly, pun intended, on the creation and issuance of banknotes. Are there any other institutions which could perform so badly and yet still remain operational.

Look at what is happening to the National Health Service whereby it has been deliberately mismanaged with the intention of destroying it, signaling to the philosophers, agents of greed of its constructed and manipulated failure, leaving it to the merchants of misery, who in adhering and following the philosophy of greed have reasoned and state quite brazenly, the only way to save the National Health Service is to sell it off, enabling private individuals to purchase it, to guess what, make and receive greater numbers of banknotes/promissory notes/pieces of paper, which as the Bank of England declares is based on the belief and "confidence" of the public, these "pieces of paper" have and are valuable.

The keys to the puzzle are to be found in the terms and conditions  belief  and "confidence"  one of the keys used by the Bank of England, is therefore the ability to manipulate the minds of the public into believing and having "confidence" in the currency, they themselves have the monopoly on issuing and providing, see link here http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/publications/Pages/foi/disc1103
23.aspx

Keys either open or close locks and the Bank of England have managed to cement this concept into the public's mind via the turning of the keys of belief and "confidence" with the result the whole nation is dependent upon them for the currency, which they declare is needed in order to live. Further information on what the bank terms "currency" can be found here  http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/publications/Pages/foi/disc110323.aspx

The Bank of England as it's called, is a deception when you consider, in the language of the law society called legalese "of " means "without" now say, the Bank without England and it becomes clear the owners, of this private and profit driven/making enterprise, who according to the Bank of England Nominees Act of 1976/7 shall remain nameless, have nevertheless their hands on an absolute goldmine. If it really was the Bank of England why wouldn't the public be named as the beneficiaries.

The country was declared bankrupt in 1689 and the Bank of England was founded and began issuing promissory notes/promises to pay at interest, "interest" being code for "usury" in 1694. As the bank themselves state, the nations currency is issued and provided by them for a "few pence" irrespective of its face value. What is hardly ever explained is the bank only ever print what's called the "principle" currency and they never print enough "currency" to cover what's politely called interest, more accurately/usury, hence the face value of their "promissory notes" or promises to pay are never and can never be worth the paper they're printed on.   

Elizabeth Fry used to visit women and children in Newgate Prison with the intention of improving the conditions they were held in. As the Bank of England publication goes on to say of Elizabeth Fry "Although prison reform was her main work, she was deeply interested in helping relieve other aspects of human suffering. The homeless in London received her attention when she was instrumental in establishing a 'night shelter' having seen the body of a young boy who had frozen to death in the winter of 1819/20. The scheme prospered as, a committee of ladies headed by Elizabeth Fry, lent their support by trying to find employment for those without a job. This work was extended beyond the boundaries of London to places such as Brighton" 

In conclusion then Elizabeth Fry was aware of, indeed she sought to "relieve other aspects of human suffering" via reform as noted in the above paragraph. However then as now this didn't entail reform of the banking/financial sector/industry, indeed successive governments have stressed the necessity of bailing out the banking/financial industry, to the detriment of  sovereign human beings of all ages.

Before we turn away and think it won't happen again and we won't see children freezing to death in the streets, see the following link for the February 2013 report by the End Child Poverty campaign - http://www.endchildpoverty.org.uk/why-end-child-poverty/poverty-in-your-area#map
some facts from the report - 
  • Nearly 4 million children are living in poverty in the UK (after housing costs)
  • The proportion of children living in poverty grew from 1 in 10 in 1979 to 1 in 3 in 1998. Today, 30 per cent of children in Britain are living in poverty.
  • The UK has one of the worst rates of child poverty in the industrialised world
  • The majority (59 per cent) of poor children live in a household where at least one adult works.
  • 40 per cent of poor children live in a household headed by a lone parent. The majority of poor children (57 per cent) live in a household headed by a couple.
  • 38% of children in poverty are from families with 3 or more children.
  • Since 1999, when the current Government pledged to end child poverty, 550,000 children have been lifted out of poverty.
As the report records in the nineteen years between 1979 until 1998 the figures show an increase from one in ten children to one in three children living in poverty, whilst the figure for child poverty in 2013 currently stands at 30%. Whilst as is noted in the report, 550,000 children have been lifted out of poverty, this is just over half a million children out of nearly four million children which still leaves between 3 to 3.5 million children living in poverty.

We have a situation whereby the government/s have no qualms about bailing out the banking and financial sector, they're not expected to feel the weight and chains of austerity upon them but it's socially/morally acceptable for children to feel the weight of and carry the chains of austerity.

This situation is rendered even more cruel, heartless and inhumane when one considers the government could print all the "currency" needed, without the mechanism of usury, rather than borrowing it from the Bank without England with usury attached. If the will was there this would ensure no child, man or woman would have to go without, because of or for want of some "pieces of paper" which "only cost a few pence to print"

Lest we forget, human beings are suffering appalling financial hardship and in some instances dying due to this lack, as the following link shows: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-2117718/British-people-committing-suicide-escape-poverty-Is-State-wants.html

Be under no illusion the government/s are unable to print interest free currency or it is neither possible or feasible and has not been done before, see the following link here: http://www.ukcolumn.org/sites/default/files/Bankers%20Bradbury%20and%20the%20carnage%20on%20the%20Western%20Front!%2030:11:12.pdf

Reforms should only ever be contemplated and enacted for the good of all sovereign human beings and not for the good of the financial/banking interests and profits
