Dr. Ingrid Rimland Zundel:Japan in WWII: A Casualty of Usury?

Thanks to best-selling author David Irving, the establishment view that the United States of America became embroiled in World War II as a result of a surprise attack on Pearl Harbour on December 7, 1941 is no longer accepted by major historians. The origins of this conflict, says South African politician and noted banker, Stephen Goodson, have far deeper roots. Goodson explains the background as follows: During the 1930's Japan rapidly expanded her industrial production, while the rest of the world, with the exception of National Socialist Germany, stagnated. By 1941 Japan had become the leading economic power in East Asia. Her exports were steadily replacing those of America and England. Though Japan had very few natural resources, the secret of her success was due to Major Clifford Hugh Douglas, whose economic theory advocated the transfer of money, which he termed "social credit". He also favored the payment of a basic income or national dividend to each citizen, providing consumers with the additional buying power necessary to absorb all of the current production of goods in a non- inflationary manner. All of Douglas's financial proposals for an honest money system, based on government creating the nation's money and credit on on an interest-free basis, were enthusiastically received by Japanese industry and its government. All of Douglas's books and pamphlets were translated into Japanese , and more copies were sold in that country than in the rest of the world.
