Dear John Gelles (and Others): I am forwarding these PDF files ("The A + B Theorem" by Northridge and "Social Credit Principles" by Major Clifford Hugh Douglas) inasmuch that you have shown some uncertainty about Social Credit. This is just to give you a look at the core technical considerations and a short statement re Social Credit in general. Social Credit policy is specifically fashioned in an attempt to conform with, and constitute an expression of, Christian philosophy--without apology. If this is in keeping with fundamental reality, the way should be open for anyone to accept it if they possess the necessary understanding and desire. As serious spokespersons for both "Christian" and "Jewish" religious ideas or metaphysics have historically made very clear, the two are quite incompatible and lead to very different practical policies and ultimate results. But ordinary members of both religions probably have a very limited understanding of either--and there is, so far as I know, no attempt or desire to blame any group of individuals as a whole, per se, for the world's problems. The crude unacademic use of simple labels by some persons who enter the fray with far more "righteous zeal" than knowledge or comprehension is quite appalling. What does it mean to be "Jewish"? Orthodox, Reform, Conservative, Liberal, secular, atheist, Zionist, Non-Zionist, Anti-Zionist, simply uninvolved, etc., etc.? As you say the variations are almost protean, and, as with Christians, sometimes themselves involve substantial incompatibilities. That does not mean, however, that there are no problem areas. Nor does it mean that faults do not also reside in the larger society without. Have you read books by Jewish authors such as Dr. Alfred Lillienthal, Arthur Koestler, and Prof. Emeritus Israel Shahak, among many others? If you have, I probably have no further suggestions--if not, I would certainly recommend them as very important, if not entirely exhaustive, sources of understanding concerning numerous critical issues. Not many persons of Jewish background have been involved in Social Credit, and not all, I understand, have been entirely helpful--but A. W. Joseph is one, I believe, who wrote a couple of very good essays on the subject entitled "The A+B Theorem" and "Banking and Industry." Anyway, Social Credit stands apart by itself, on its own merit, and the files attached deal with some of the core technical and philosophic issues on that independent level.
