It is so important for Catholics to understand this issue because it coincides with Catholic Social Doctrine very well.
Unfortunately Bill lost his run to be the Libertarian presidential candidate. Here is his presentation at the Public Bank Institute conference. I hope people can follow the main points of his presentation. [If not see older post of his documentary here] And his presidential platform [here]

Move OUR Money: Public Banking Movement
For more information: http://publicbankinginstitute.org/
Move OUR Money is a call for cities, state governments and counties to move the public's money out of private banks and into public banks. Every quarter that goes into a parking meter, every tax payment that we make, every dollar that banks pay in penalties -- it's all OURs. Let's put it in OUR bank -- a public bank, one that serves the public interest.
Don't have a public bank? Contact the Public Banking Insitute to find out how you can start one in your community. Public banks are common throughout much of the rest of the developed world -- Germany and Japan have some of the largest public banks. Let's get with it and take our credit back from private banks -- let's Move OUR Money!
Why Move OUR Money?
The time for public institutions to place public money into private banks, which then use the public money for their own private gain, is over. Private banks have squandered the public trust.

Practical Advice for over-coming Lust

FIRE DRILLS WITH A STOP LETTER by Monica H Breaux PhD
Fire drills are used to practice moving bodies to safety, so people will not get burned. They build up confidence in people for a timely escape. The frequency of the fire drill practice is the key to this prevention training. In the treatment of addiction, there is a helpful method that is also called a fire drill. It is used to practice an escape from habits of unhealthy behavior that is destructive like fire. Fire drills can be used to practice moving minds to safety, so people will not get burned. They build up confidence in people for a timely escape. The frequency of the fire drill practice is the key to this prevention training of the mind.
The simplicity of the method is the reason many people will not try it, but it is used successfully among

Miracle Sponge May Save Lives On Battlefield
BOSTON -
Uncontrolled bleeding has been the leading cause of death for soldiers on the battlefield. But the engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology may have come up with a way to stop bleeding instantly with a special sponge.
The technology could be so effective, it may end up in hospitals and home medicine cabinets, experts said.
MIT engineers at the Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies came up with ways to protect and heal soldiers on the battlefield. Their newest invention is a sponge that stops bleeding instantaneously.
"When we have a very heavy wound or a large amount of bleeding, we need to stop the bleeding immediately," said Dr. Paula Hammond. "We've been able to develop this sponge which can fit any kind of surface or wound and can be applied very rapidly."
Unlike regular sponges that absorb moisture, the lightweight sponge is coated with the protein thrombine -- a natural clotting agent already found in our bodies and combines it with tanic acids.
"What we're doing is actually releasing the thrombine in its active form immediately and allowing it to access the wound. It stops the bleeding within seconds," Hammond said.
Hammond said the nanotechnology is inexpensive to produce which could make it ideal for everyday use.
"First responders, emergency care rooms -- everything from something you might store in your bathroom or kitchen, to something you would use for extreme conditions," Hammond said.
"Many of the lessons we take to the operating room here for traumatized patients, we learned on the battlefield," said Dr. David King, a trauma surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital.
King, who is also a major in the Army Reserve, said the sponge technology is exciting.
