<div><font size="2" face="Arial"><strong>The German�WELLENREITER column of 12 March, 2011 states under the title: "Natural Catastrophes and the State Bankruptcy", in the end</strong>:</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font>�</div>
<div><font face="Arial"><font size="2">"... <em>the Japanese State has survived the past decade without insolvency only because�the interest rates on government loans were extremely low. The recent events could be the last straw. Without a doubt there is the <strong>danger of an increase in these rates for its governments loans</strong>. The rates for 10 year loans were quoted on Friday at 1.27%. A rise to 2.5%�would inevitably lead to a State bankruptcy of Japan.</em></font></font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"><em>...</em></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"><font size="2"><em>Conclusion: The combination of natural catastrophes, high food prices <strong>and a high government indebtedness did always have the tendency to�provoke great changes in world events</strong>. Just like Japan was not prepared for a combination of earthquake and tsunami disasters the world economy is not prepared to prevent or diminish this possible insolvency. Japan is, after the U.S.A. and China the third largest economy of the world. The U.S.A. and Europe have their own problems. <strong>More and more will the politicians be forced to undertake steps towards a new system of the world's financial system</strong></em>.� ..."</font></font></div>

<div><font size="2">Dear fiend of Freedom, <strong>i</strong><font face="Arial"><strong>f the Japanese State went bankrupt, its unsound monopoly money would also collapse</strong> and thus there would be a chance for competitive and sound private money issues and for massive investments that are economically sound, highly profitable (since the turnover problem would be solved), secure against inflation and large percentages�of capital would no longer be wasted in unproductive our counter-productive government activities, often as costly as governmental armaments and warfare costs. </font></font></div>

<div align="center"><strong>How important is monetary freedom and free banking?</strong></div></font></font>
<div><font size="2"></font>�</div><font size="2"><font color="#ff0000" size="2" face="Arial">
<div><font color="#000000">It is an essential step towards creating more freedom and prosperity for everybody</font></div></font>. <strong><font color="#ff0000">If we all focus our power on Free Banking, <u>than more freedom in other�spheres will be the result</u>.</font></strong></font>

<div align="center"><strong><font color="#0000ff">Is now the time to start taking</font></strong></div></font><strong>preparatory action?</strong></font>
<div><font size="2"><font size="2" face="Arial"></font></font>�</div>
<div><font face="Arial">
<div><font face="Arial"><font size="2"><strong>Prof. John Naisbitt</strong> (the author of the�best-seller "Megatrends")�wrote 2006�in his last book "Mind set!", that we will get at least a privatization of money and that this�<u>"Mother of all Monopolies" will fall</u>.�</font></font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"><font size="2">I believe together�with him, that we are in a trend to get monetary freedom. But <strong>we all</strong> can force this and bring it<strong> on a right track!</strong></font></font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font>�</div>
<div><font size="2"><strong>John Zube</strong> believes, that a <u>monetary freedom handbook</u> can be much more valuable to mankind than the landing on the moon. </font></div>
<div><font size="2">A financial crisis, with�mass-unemployment, many enterprises�driven into bankruptcy�and still more inflation through government "counter-actions", can <u>provide a great chance to gain influence</u> for sound ideas, knowledge�and facts�on monetary and financial matters. </font></div>
<div><font color="#ff0000"></font>�</div>
<div><font face="Arial"><font size="2"><strong>Dr. Martin Weiss</strong> (editor of "Save Money Report") means, that in�2011 or 2012�we will get the next wave down on the stock exchange and <u>at least the fiat money will�die</u>.</font></font></div>
<div><font size="2"></font>�</div>
<div><font size="2"><strong>Gerald Celente</strong> has now made a trend prognosis 2011 and 2012. See him at his�</font><a href="http://www.trendsresearch.com/" target="_blank"><font size="2"><font color="#000000">Trends Research Institute�</font></font></a><font size="2">�and listen to him about the future of the current�money. He means <u>the game is over with all the inflation money</u>.�</font></div>
<div><font size="2"></font>�</div>
<div><font size="2"><strong>Marc Faber</strong>, the famous Swiss investor, living in Hong Kong,�says, that the states are in a debit trap. The financial system will collapse in 3 to 5 years (in a hyperinflation).</font></div>
<div><font size="2"></font>�</div></font></div>
<div><font size="2"><font size="2"></font></font>�</div><font color="#0000ff" size="2"><font color="#0000ff" size="2" face="Arial">
<div align="center"><strong>You can help us to get things moving <u>in the right direction</u>!</strong></div></font></font>
<div><font size="2"><font size="2"></font></font>�</div>
<div><font size="2">Some of the statements may be incorrect. But can we really afford not to be prepared, <strong>if</strong> a chance comes for us <strong>to gain influence</strong> in <u>monetary and financial</u> matters? </font></div>
<div><font size="2">Thus full monetary and financial freedom might come to amount,�<u>at least indirectly</u>, to the most important defense, security and also social security issue to become involved in.</font></div>
<div><font size="2"><strong>It would be a historical mistake</strong> and even a great�wrong <strong>not to become</strong> at least somewhat enlightened and�involved and <strong>prepared in this sphere</strong>. We would�thus leave our monetary and financial fate furthermore in the hands political rulers, who have mostly only ignorance, errors, prejudices and failures to offer - in this sphere as well. <strong><font color="#ff0000">It is right now the time to act!</font></strong></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000" size="2"></font>�</div>
<div><font size="2"></font>�</div>
<div align="center"><font color="#0000ff" size="2"><strong>So what should we do?</strong></font></div>
<div><font color="#ff0000" size="2"></font>�</div>
<div><font size="2">The <strong>first step</strong> is to write a <strong>Free Banking Handbook</strong>. But t</font><font size="2">o write such an important, comprehensive�and large work�goes beyond the capabilities of anyone. The idea was therefore, right�away,�to make a <u>project by many participants</u>.�We feel that for this project it would be a good idea to have an</font><font size="2"><font size="2" face="Arial"> <strong>online internet platform</strong>.�Details of how the collaboration will work will be sent to all those who join the project. <a href="mailto:Support@Monetary-Freedom.net" target="_blank">Join now</a> and take part in the first online editorial meeting!</font></font></div>
<div><font size="2">The <strong>second step</strong> is to develop Open Source Banking Software, but this will need to be done by another team at a later date.</font></div>
<div><font size="2"></font>�</div>
<div><font size="2"></font>�</div>
<div align="center"><font color="#0000ff" size="2"><strong>Become an co-author of a�Free Banking�Handbook</strong></font></div>
<div><font size="2"></font>�</div>
<div><font size="2"><strong>So I�m asking YOU <u>on behalf of the current team</u> to help us compile and write a Monetary Freedom or Free Banking Handbook. </strong></font></div>
<div><font size="2">
<div><font size="2">Please click <a href="mailto:Support@Monetary-Freedom.net" target="_blank">here</a> if you would like to send me feedback or <a href="mailto:Support@Monetary-Freedom.net" target="_blank">join the projct now</a>�as a supporter or co-author of the Free Banking Handbook. </font></div>
<div>�</div>
<div>
<div>�</div>
<div align="center"><font color="#0000ff" size="2"><strong>If you don�t want to be a co-author of the Free Banking Handbook then why not join us as a supporter?</strong></font></div>
<div><font size="2"></font>�</div></div>
<div><strong>As a supporter</strong> you can help the co-authors in writing the handbook in many different ways. There�s a wide range of different things you can do <a href="mailto:Support@Monetary-Freedom.net" target="_blank">to support the project</a>, and if you don�t have time to help in a practical way, you could help by making a donation via our <strong><em>Bitcoin</em></strong> account.</div>

<div align="center"><font color="#0000ff" size="2" face="Arial"><strong>Some details about me�...</strong></font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font>�</div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">I�m German and I live in Berlin.� I�m the webmaster of the online internet platform.�I have some knowledge of barter schemes, the WIR in Switzerland and various other monetary and clearing experiments.�</font><font size="2" face="Arial"><strong>My ultimate vision is free online banking software.</strong> I�m currently working on an IT concept for this and will be looking for software experts to help with the project at a later stage. But first of all we need to create the <strong>Free Banking Handbook, which will act as the basis</strong> for writing the online software.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"><font size="2"><u></u></font>�</font></div>
<div>
<div align="center"><font color="#0000ff" size="2"><strong>Join our team!</strong></font></div>
<div><font size="2"></font>�</div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">Full knowledge of Free Banking is not readily available to most normal people. Not even all the relevant texts are. </font><font size="2" face="Arial">Once�the Free Banking Handbook�is compiled and published in print, or made available online, many businesses, shops, employers and associations of retailers,�wholesalers�and manufacturers would, probably, come to�have such a handbook or�could, referring to its online offer, start almost immediately�with free privately or cooperatively issued alternative and optional and free-market rated monies - <strong>once the national currency dies</strong> <strong>or the State is too weak to prevent or punish monetary freedom or free banking actions.</strong> </font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">There are many historical precedents for this. These should also be mentioned and explained in the handbook.</font></div>
<div><strong>With the help of such a handbook they could come to practice the <u>best advice</u></strong> and avoid most of the usual mistakes.</div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font>�</div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">I invite <strong>you</strong> to take part in this project.<strong>�Please </strong><strong>join the team</strong><strong>�now!</strong>�</font><font size="2" face="Arial">Gradually, I will invite more and more <strong>monetary freedom</strong> enthusiasts. </font></div>
</div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial"></font>�</div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">Everybody can <u>take part as their time </u><u>and energy permits</u>. </font><font size="2" face="Arial">Future authors, helpers�and readers will have access from everywhere, from a hotel,�from home, office�or a coffee-shop.</font></div>
