Sadly another example of banks make money out of nothing , this time by Professor of Binary Economics at Trisakti University, Jakarta, Indonesia, Rodney Shakespeare is a Cambridge MA, a qualified UK Barrister, a co-founder of the Global Justice Movement and  a member of the Christian Council for Monetary Justice.

Yes, the "Christian Council for Monetary Justice" has been spreading their ideas in the Occupy Movement, particularly through Quaker (and Labour Party member) John Courtneidge who we clashed with at one of the recent New Putney Debates. Their chairman, Cannon Peter Challen, was one of the panel at a meeting organised by the Occupy at the Bank of Ideas last January. He was one of those who refused to describe himself as anti-capitalist. Basically, they are against interest, which they denounce as "usury", but not against any other aspects of capitalism, as if capitalism could function without interest.Their President is Labour MP Austin Mitchell, one of two openly currency-crank MPs. The other is Tory Douglas Carswell.
