During the summer of 1944, the fledgling United Nations held a Monetary and Financial Conference at the Mount Washington Hotel, in Bretton Woods New Hampshire. A drastic action deemed necessary by the powers that be. Participants of this event included 44 of the world's largest industrialized nations. During this three week period, 730 delegates negotiated over what our global economic system would look like.  It was here that the "International Bank for Reconstruction and Development" (IBRD) was born and exists today as one of several institutions of the "World Bank." Also created at this time was the "International Monetary Fund" (IMF). Ratifying nations agreed to adopt monetary policies that were consistent with stated goals for the establishment and maintenance of this new global economic system.

Thanks to a compliant media and the short-term memory of "We The People", transfer of centralized banking systems into this global network was rather swift and complete. Not only did we fail to recognize the sovereignty issues with giving the UN any type of control over the US economy, we didn't even heed historic warning signs about "centralized banking systems" in general. Two past Presidents defeated the last two attempts by private bankers to take control of the US economy. The third attempt, which is your modern day Federal Reserve, became law in 1913 while many in Congress were home on Christmas break. And did we learn anything after the IMF collapsed in 1971 when Nixon suspended the convertibility from Dollars to Gold? Apparently not!

We now find ourselves in the very predictable situation of economic and monetary meltdown. Those of us aware of this constitutional and economic threat have had a difficult time educating others of the danger. However now, as individuals watch their life savings dwindle and American jobs become our largest export, people have clearly become more receptive to knowing the real reasons why. Unfortunately, learning about "fractional reserve lending" by watching 700 Billion dollars in Corporate Bailout money turn into TRILLIONS of dollars in American taxpayer debt, is a tough lesson to learn. Unless we act now, this is a lesson your kids and grandkids will be saddled with. Controlled if you will.

Here's the plan.

Wake up, continue educating yourself, and join us as we advocate for a fair and sustainable economic system that serves the American people. In April of 2009, the G20 is scheduled to meet and review "economic progress" at what some are calling Bretton Woods II. This time let's see to it that Bretton Woods becomes famous for an economic proposal of, by, and for the people. Join MassLPA's Bretton Woods II project.

This section will be dedicated to the planning and execution of Bretton Woods II. Heading this effort will be Ed Rombach who is well versed in market behavior and our District 6 Coordinator. As we seek to work out the many details including big name speakers and major sponsors, it will be imperative that everyone join the effort. There will be a wide variety of ways to help, but first make sure you're properly registered on the site and continue educating yourself on the issues. The best kind of help comes from people that truly believe in what they're doing. Providing that you're actually willing to look into the subject, we're confident that you'll come to the same conclusion we did....facts are stubborn things.

Please take the time to review the material below and check back often as Ed will be providing us with updates as they become available.
