When Liz Gould found out two things - that my birthday and year was the same as King Charles (Nov. 14, 1948) and about the power and importance of "earth rights" as the basis for an economics of peace and justice - she hatched the idea for me to write an Open Letter to King Charles to be released during this interregnum period before his coronation. The letter has now become an "Earth Rights Manifesto" and a novel way to put these deep economic principles and policies out into the world.
There is a media team working on the distribution of The Letter. Liz and her husband Paul Fitzgerald have produced a number of documentaries featured in several mainstream media venues. Please forward this announcement to others and sign up if you can for the April 5th webinar when there will be the first public reading of the Letter. Details below. - ah
THE VALEDICTION ROUNDTABLE
“Exposing the Failure of Empire and Reclaiming the Narrative Creation Process”
Walterville, OR, March 29, 2023 – Publisher R. A. Kris Millegan invites the world to join Roundtable 18, FROM THE CRUSADES TO THE DEATH OF JFK, WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? A message to King Charles on his coronation, from a “Birthdate Soulmate,” A FREE Zoom Event on April 5, 2023, from 3:00-4:30pm/EST. Reservations are required at Valediction.net.
Hosts include Paul Fitzgerald, Elizabeth Gould and Earth Rights visionaries Alanna Hartzok and Wendell Fitzgerald.
“Alanna will read her letter to King Charles for his May 6th coronation (to be released to the mainstream media),” says Ms. Gould. “Having been born five hours apart on November 14, 1948, they are ‘Birthdate Soulmates,’ a mystical connection of great power we can all access.”
“The letter is packed with deeply researched knowledge on why the time is right for King Charles to get on the Earth Rights bandwagon, the idea that everyone has a right to the planet as a birthright." “When land and natural resource values – Commons Rent – become the primary source for raising public revenue, and the value of Earth’s resources are shared more fairly,” Ms. Gould explained, “economic justice will be created, which will lead the way to lasting world peace and plenty for all.”
Mr. Fitzgerald added, "There are many successful examples of the Earth rights approach to public finance throughout the world. We are using the interregnum from the September 8, 2022, death of Queen Elizabeth to the May 6, 2023, coronation of King Charles – and the June 10th 60th Anniversary of JFK’s Peace Speech – to promote the economics of peace, culminating, we hope, with a musical celebration in Ireland, the home of the Fitzgerald legacy, which runs ‘from the crusades to the death of JFK,’ as our Roundtable title says.”
Earth Rights economics news stories in the mainstream media:

TrineDay’s Roundtables were inspired by THE VALEDICTION: Three Nights of Desmond, and THE VALEDICTION: Resurrection, by co-authors Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould, who also wrote INVISIBLE HISTORY: Afghanistan’s Untold Story, CROSSING ZERO: The AfPak War at the Turning Point of American Empire, and many articles reporting truths that the mainstream refuse to broadcast.
R. A. Kris Millegan, musician, writer/researcher, publisher at TrineDay and host of THE JOURNEY podcast, has 50+ years of reading, research and “hanging out” in “Conspiracy Theory Land.”
Alanna Hartzok, educator, activist and lecturer on economic justice, land rights, and commons rent public finance, is also the author of THE EARTH BELONGS TO EVERYONE. The FREE pdf is available here. Her presentation on the long history of the Earth Rights ethic, SACRED RULE ECONOMICS, can be seen here.
Wendell Fitzgerald was the Executive Director of the Northern California Henry George School of Social Science 1976-1979 and president of the board until 2019. He was elected from 2019-2020 to the Board of Schalkenbach Foundation, publisher of Henry George’s books.
TrineDay is a publishing house that arose in 2002 to publish many well-researched and well-written books that challenge official history and tend to rock the boat of America’s corporate culture.
Alanna gave a great presentation and the RoundTable was recorded and posted online. Her letter is also posted at https://valediction.net/world-peace/ and should be read widely, and hopefully go viral! Thank-you Alanna for your wisdom, courage, insight, hard work and indomitable spirit!
We all should have the same earth rights and not think that privation of sites is correct, because then all the landlord is expected to do is to pay the (Single) tax on it and not share these rights as a full community should. By leasing the sites from the nation instead of owning them, we would then REALLY have truly compensated for occupying the site in question. This is a compensation for having
these earth rights, which are what the individual occupation of the site is stopping others from doing with it. A site owner who fails to pay LVT instead of failing to lease the site that is nationally owned would be much more difficult to difficult to eject from it.
