Bring Back the Bradbury Pound!
Countdown to 7th August 2014
100th Anniversary of Historic Solution
to end Britain’s ‘crisis’, austerity & corruption
There is a deep malaise affecting our country – something is clearly not right. To catch a criminal, a good policeman will always tell you to follow the money and to ask, cui bono – who benefits?
The network of private central banks led by the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, have taken control of the world’s money supply to achieve global governance on their terms – hardly beneficial for the human race.
The way to ‘stop and reverse’ is to ask:
- Why doesn’t the British government through its Treasury issue debt- and interest-free money?
- Why do our politicians go to private bankers who create money out of thin air – as figures on a computer screen?
- When this ‘money’, or ‘nothingness’, is received by our government, why do we, as taxpayers, pay £50,000,000,000 interest a year?
Austin Mitchell MP, Chairman of the Forum for Stable Currencies[1] has been tabling Early Day Motions since 2002 to this effect.
In the US, this principle – a sovereign nation’s treasury issuing its own debt-free and interest-free money without going anywhere near the private central banks – was implemented by Abraham Lincoln in 1861 with his Greenback Dollars which secured the final victory for the North in the American Civil War.
Fifty-three years later, in August 1914 at the outbreak of the First World War, the British Government passed an Act allowing the Treasury to issue debt-free and interest-free money that became known as Bradbury Pounds.
“I have two enemies; the Southern army in front of me and the financial institutions in the rear. Of the two, the one in the rear is my greatest foe” Abraham Lincoln.
The Bradbury Pound was an emergency measure brought in by the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, David Lloyd George, to prevent a possible run on the banks, as people adjusted to the news about the outbreak of the Great War.

The legislative history of the United States notes:–

Abraham Lincoln was not your friend, was not the opponent of bankers; on the contrary he favoured a privately owned central bank (like the first two Banks of the United States were) and a national currency issued by such bank:–
“a national bank, properly restricted, is highly necessary and proper to the establishment and maintenance of a sound currency, and for the cheap and safe collection, keeping, and disbursing of the public revenue.” —Abraham Lincoln, 1843.
In 1863 Lincoln approved the National Currency Bank Act which established such currency-issuing bank system
Abraham Lincoln did not invent greenbacks:

Please read the Act sometimes, and tell how you can calculate greenbacks interest free; they came in a package with 500million 6% bonds to support them;
The whole national currency bank system was built/based on United States notes; how interest-free those 4 banknotes for each US notes were ?
