BIOGRAPHY

Paul Grignon IS AN ARTIST AND FILM-MAKER/PRODUCER WHO LIVES ON GABRIOLA ISLAND.

HIS INTEREST IN, STUDY AND QUESTIONING OF THE 'FRAUDULENT' MONEY SYSTEM BEGAN EARLY:

"I first became suspicious of our money system when I was in high school in Ottawa. We were studying logarithmic functions such as interest and it struck me that a money system in which money accrues interest at every turn could only function with exponential growth of the money supply. Something did not make sense to me. I wasn’t sure what it was but I had a strong feeling that banking was a scam designed to benefit bankers at the expense of everyone else. I vowed never to get into debt to bankers."

MONEY AS DEBT HAS BEEN WATCHED BY WELL OVER 2 MILLION PEOPLE ONLINE. (ESTIMATED)

"Everyone should see this movie." David Korten,lecturer & author of When Corporations Rule the World, The Great Turning from Empire to Earth Community.

AS PAUL PUTS IT, "Money as Debt ... is intended for all audiences, including elementary school children. My particular hope is that it will convince environmental, social justice and electoral reform advocates that monetary reform is essential to the goals they hope to accomplish."

WHY SHOW PAUL'S FILM(S) AND HAVE A Q&A/Discussion forum? In Paul's words:

Money created as interest-bearing bank credit is a magic trick, a fraud - now 3 centuries old; one that very few people have seen through despite, or rather because of, its utter simplicity.

It is my intention to make this mysterious debt-money system comprehensible to everyone. It is also my intention to foster sufficient understanding of the problems with this money system that citizens will be motivated to join the monetary reform movement and/or create local alternatives to the global monetary system - a system in which most of the productive people of the world are collectively chained to an ever-increasing and perpetually unpayable debt.

This is a system designed for elite control of the people by those who have given themselves the privilege of creating money. It is also, I believe, a system that is designed for catastrophe. As the movie explains, there can be no sustainable civilization without a sustainable money system."
