The text from Douglans provided by Bill Ryan is
quite clear in the first paragraph that follows:
The Game Found Out
Well, the first thing to do, is to make it quite clear that the game has been found out (applause), and the second thing and a most important thing, too, is to realise that the interests of every single individual lie jointly and together in obtaining a proper reform of the monetary system. (Applause) But how about some help
interpreting the next one, which has obviously been distorted in
transcription?
I hope you see what I mean by that individuals into classes and to say for instance that this is a movement of the down and outs, or something of that sort, is a victory for the financial system. It is not a case of that kind at all. The whole world is threatened with overwhelming disaster within a very measurable period of time... . Same question re this next paragraph So that if the matter is properly investigated, there is every sound justification for going to anyone may be one enemy, and that is not each other, but it is the financial system. ... Take One Trench at a Time The third matter is this. Do not expect to proceed other than by the methods which were laid down by the finest strategist that the late war produced, General Foch. General Foch's contribution to the victory of the allied armies of the late war was the principle of a limited objective "take one trench at a time." I have shown you how to take the first trench. Go away and take it. OK, here we have it from Douglas that the
first trench is to spread understanding that the financial system is the source
of many, if not most social problems, and that it is operated for the benefit of
a few rather than for the many. This speech was delivered in
1934. I recall having seen something here recently, posted probably by
Victor, that late in his life Douglas made comments suggesting that the first
trench is broader and deeper than he was hoping when he first identified
it.
In making arguments with socialists, which
is the context of these recent exchanges, it seems useful to keep in mind that
the difference between Marxian and Social Credit views is the emphasis of
the latter on the financial system rather than on control of industrial
processes. If support for that view can come from credible sources other
than card-carrying Socreds, the message is likely to carry more weight with
socialists than if it is "just the biased opinion" of their sectarian
rival. That is why I asked Chick for the address of his correspondent, so
that I could recommend the remarkable assembly and interpretation of
evidence bearing on the dark side of finance provided in The Lost
Science of Money by Stephen Zarlenga. He will find out there from
whom Douglas stole his ideas. --^^--------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84IaC.bcVIgP.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TOPICA - Start your own email discussion group.
