“WE DEMAND:
“• A global Glass-Steagall banking separation, to end all support for the speculative, investment bank sector and the shutting down of the shadow economy;
“•The re-establishment of sovereignty over national currencies;
“• The creation of a national bank in every country, and the return of credit creation to sovereign governments;
“• The creation of a new credit system in the tradition of the original intention of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Bretton Woods System and of the Non-Aligned Countries in the 1976 Colombo Conference. The primary aim is to increase the living standards of every human being on the planet as the precondition for peace, and to overcome all current challenges, such as the pandemic, world famine, and poverty.
“• A massive increase in productivity by moving toward new economic platforms based on the commercial use of thermonuclear fusion power and international cooperation in space research and travel.
A Note To Readers
There was no report last week due to a lap top breakdown.
The excerpt above is from a “call” that will be found in the Feature this week, the last item in this report.
In this week’s report:
Drought in California and the West is expanding. Several items highlight this.
And, of course, related to that, the wildfires are still with us.
As reservoir levels at Lake Powell and Lake Mead on the Colorado River continue to fall, at this time it is expected that rationing will begin for the 40 million people dependent upon the river.
California water infrastructure is not only necessary for the state’s population and agriculture, but presently, since virtually nothing has been built for more than 40 years, the problem of subsidence of the land along the California Aqueduct requires major repairs. The second report in the section is on the Trump administration approving another step forward in raising Shasta Dam.
An important piece of legislation was introduced in the Congress this week on nuclear power: The American Nuclear Infrastructure Act (ANIA) of 2020.
Under the title of “The Real Economy,” two articles contrast Hunger and Poverty in the U.S. and China.
The report concludes with our Feature this week.
