 What Mr. Lefmann (an Intertax poster to use the
American word)does not understand here is that it is
VITAL to cooperate (within reason) via negotiations
with banks, and corporations in a positive way if we
are to survive on this planet. It is the quickest root
to achieve "genuine" monetary reform as explained in
"This is very important to UNDERSTAND.." post. NGOs
ofcourse would still exist but they would be better
financed by far, and have a greater influence over
society.

I may explain more about my newer ideas on TFE as they
evolve in my mind, and on the discussion forum
here....
