Five of us were at St Paul’s
Five of us were at St Paul’s again yesterday. There seemed to be less people around including tents. We saw one big tent being dismantled and carried away. It’s getting colder. Even so, we still gave away leaflets and got into the usual discussions, even two video interviews.Checking their websites they might not be all that useful. One of them proclaims that “scientific materialism” can’t explain the world; read on and you find “creationism” defended. The other promises to get you of of debt free. Arguing that because “banks create money out of thin air – they have no money to lend you” so there’s nothing for you to pay them back except thin air. Logical enough if banks really did create money out on thin air. Only they don’t, so following their advice is not likely to get you very far except onto a blacklist of bad borrowers.Unfortunately these type of ideas seem to have some credibility amongst some Occupiers. But we can deal with them. We’ve got our pamphlet How The Gods Were Made and, when you think of it, the only way to get out of debt free is to establish socialism where all debts will be extinguished along with the disappearance of money and banks.There was no trouble from the police, but we were asked by someone to move out of the shelter of the aracade as it was private property (he didn’t say whose). That didn’t worry us as it made our stall more prominent.
