DSC President Releases Party List
(27 August 2008)
‘Democrats for Social Credit’ President Neville Aitchison today released the Party’s list of candidates for the 2008 Election. “I’m proud to announce the DSC’s list of candidates: our talented line-up features a dynamic combination of youth and experience. It reflects the indicative vote of our members and represents a strong, credible alternative for voters” said Mr Aitchison.

A Conundrum
(August 2008 )
I suspect if the National Party becomes the government their rule will be limited to one term, and it won’t be all their fault. Labour has crowed for years about full employment, low inflation and a buoyant economy. However this was an illusory prosperity based on an out of control money supply, much of it sourced from overseas via immigration, foreign takeovers and money attracted here by the high interest rates, an intrinsic part of our dysfunctional monetary system. Like Chinese emperors who were booted out of office when the Hwang Ho or Yangtze flooded, the new government will be blamed for bad things, even if it is not culpable.

Hopes and Dreams

Democrats for social credit is a political party with a radical plan: the rejection of New Zealand’s debt-based financial system in favour of a programme of contemporary social credit monetary reform. It’s a plan of new economics for a modern New Zealand society.

The Price of Fish

Working for a living, after all the talk of job satisfaction and self-actualisation is about working for a LIVING. The cost of that living is on the up. Mortgage interest rates have risen and are unlikely to fall in the near future at exactly a time when the true value of those mortgaged houses could possibly decrease, even if temporarily. (Unless, of course, you live in a house constructed out of cheese which has doubled in price in less than a year. Sure there are short-term disadvantages living in a house of cheese, such as an inflated carbon footprint due to the increased refrigeration needs, but the long-term financial advantages are inarguable. Seriously, if you’d invested in a house of cheese a year ago, you’d be laughing all the way to the bank right now).
So, with interest rate rises and the price of cheese weighing heavily on the minds of your people, how can you help assuage their fears? Is a worried workforce a productive workforce? Stress shuts down parts of the brain and you and your people need those parts to concentrate on designing, making and selling goods and services with a customer-centric focus beyond the imagination of your grandparents’ generation.
