NEW DELHI: The government will likely put some money in your bank account every month if it goes ahead with a proposal currently being considered at the highest levels. The plan is to expand the direct cash transfer scheme, by deducting a portion of the subsidy each family receives through various government welfare schemes and putting an equivalent amount of cash in the account of the beneficiary … // Continuer la lecture de « India: Government planning to deduct part of subsidies and hand it over to beneficiaries to boost demand »

Part 1, July 12, 2015: Private commercial banks exercise a near absolute monopoly on the primary issuance and allocation of money. Virtually all money is created out of nothing by banks and loaned into existence as government and private debt. Debt binds the nations in compliant submission while money buys the world at destitution prices. It doesn’t have to be this way. Monetary reform — breaking the bank debt-money monopoly — is the first step toward the solution … // Continuer la lecture de « Diary: The Great Unbinding »

Prof. Dr. Athanassios Giannis gab dem deutschen Journalismus-Portal KenFM ein Telefoninterview und verdeutlichte die aktuelle Situation in seinem Heimatland:

Stell Dir vor, Du bist ein griechisches Kind in Athen, wurdest von einem Auto angefahren und benötigst dringend medizinische Hilfe. Deine Mutter ist wie drei Millionen andere Griechen nicht mehr im Besitz einer Krankenversicherung. Sie kann sich die Policen nicht mehr leisten. Jetzt einen Krankenwagen zu rufen ist zudem ein Glücksspiel, denn ein Großteil der Infrastruktur wurde aus Kostengründen stillgelegt. Aber auch wenn es die Mutter mit ihrem Kind in ein Klinikum schaffen würde, selbst das wie am Spieß schreiende Kind müsste Wartezeiten von bis zu zwölf Stunden in Kauf nehmen, würde dann aber nur behandelt, wenn die Mutter das Geld für die Not-Operation vorab bar bezahlt.
