Libertarian Party UK leader Ian Parker-Joseph spoke about monetary reform in the House of Lords last Monday at a conference organized jointly by Global Vision 2000 and the Universal Peace Federation UK. His speech was generally well received but got objection from the Universal Peace Federation.
Members of the Libertarian Party UK, who apparently were only partly aware of the identity of the Univeral Peace Federation, later discussed the discrepancies between Libertarian thought and Unificationists views in this blog.
The writer of this blog summarized the position of Global Vision 2000:
"Global Vision 2000 aims to rise to the challenge by seeking answers to pressing questions such asAccording to the author of this blog, Global Vision 2000 are pan-islamists with a broadly libertarian view. These views don't seem very much in alignment with those of the Universal Peace Federation.
• Who really runs the country, the world? Is it our democratically elected governments or unelected banking and financial oligarchs?
• Who really creates and controls credit and the money supply? Is it central banks or private banks?
• Why is usury taken for granted despite the fact that everyone is drowning in debt?
• Do we need to go beyond framing the debate in terms of regulation and reform and advocate rejection of the status quo?
• Why have our institutions, from the government, to political parties, to the media, to the unions been emasculated, and what are the new mediums for social and political transformation and new models of governance?
• Does the Bretton Woods global financial architecture and the military-industrial complex need to be dismantled?"
Why did the UPF and Global Vision 2000 cooperate in organizing this conference?
The writer of the Libertarian Party members blog, answering this question, put it this way:
"As for the event: inter-faith dialogue. Or trying to form a cartel in other words; but they really don't seem compatible. No doubt they'll find some things they can agree upon: such as the stoning to death of sinners. "

Would you describe yourself as an anti-Moon Unificationist? I ask, but I'm not quite sure what that would mean.
ReplyDelete:o) Nice way of putting it...
ReplyDeleteNo, i am not a Unificationist. I have respected Sun Myung Moon very much but concluded that he doesn't anymore follow his own principles and that he was tempted to take a powerful position.
I am writing this blog to make people clear about what's happening. It's difficult to understand for those who have little information. I believe that when Unificationists go on like this, they will do much harm to the world. I also think that many of them have good intentions and are being fooled.
