Central banker tells his nephew: We control the press and the politicians

In 2016, Justin Walker from The British Constitution Group joined Bristol Broadband Co-operative’s radio show, Dialect Radio, where he discussed his interest in the money system, which began with a conversation with his uncle, Sir Harry Pilkington, who at the time was a director of the Bank of England.
Sir Harry said, “I’m going to give you two pieces of advice to take through life: Firstly, never believe anything you read in the press because we control it. Secondly, never, ever believe a politician when they say they can do something because they can’t unless we say they can.” This conversation sparked Walker’s interest and research into the money system.
Walker stated that banks create money out of thin air, and that the private central banking world is a law unto itself, controlling 60 central banks through the Bank for International Settlements. The City of London, he said, is a driving hub of the world’s economy and has significant power and control over the global financial system.
Walker advocated for a sovereign national credit system, such as the Bradbury Pound, where a nation creates and issues its own debt-free and interest-free money, and emphasised the need for sovereign government control and trial by jury to protect individuals from tyranny.
Walker discovered that the Bradbury Pound was a debt-free and interest-free currency created by the Treasury in 1914 to avoid a run on the banks. It was based on the nation’s credit and potential.
They were printed in the space of three days. “They managed to pass an act through Parliament and get this money into the bank by August the 7th [1914]. On August the 3rd, they declared war [World War I]. [On] August the 7th, to stop a run on the banks, people accepted this paper money instead of taking our gold,” Walker said. Sir John signed the notes, and so they became known as Bradbury Notes or Bradbury Pounds.
The Bradbury Pound was a success. “[It] stopped the banks from collapsing in the outbreak of the First World War and effectively it was going to mean that we could have fought the First World War without incurring any major debts,” Walker said.
But the use of the Bradbury Pound was overturned by then-Chancellor of Exchequer David Lloyd George. “He caved in to the central bankers, and so they went back to borrowing money from the private financial sector,” Walker explained.
The Bradbury Pound is the British version. In America, there was the Greenback Dollar. Before the Greenback Dollar, there was the Colonial Script issued by the American colonies. “The City of London, of course, couldn’t make any money out of [Colonial Script] and so they tried to impose the gold standard onto them and to the old-fashioned ways of taking out loans by creating money out of thin air, etc. And that was the real reason for the American War of Independence,” Walker said.
