ADNAN OKTAR’S PROPOSALS FOR THE RESOLUTION OF THE ECONOMIC CRISIS, TAKEN FROM A LIVE INTERVIEW WITH KAÇKAR TV (NOVEMBER 2008)

— Let me say this in all humility, the greatest importance must be attached to agriculture from now on, the greatest importance must be attached to the rearing of livestock, this may be in the form of large animals or poultry, but everyone engaged in this needs to be seriously supported by the state. And the state itself should be actively engaged in the field. Agriculture needs to be supported right across Turkey. In other words, it is these two fields in particular, rather than others, that must be supported, and all forms of industry that indirectly support agriculture and livestock-rearing must also be supported. It may be agricultural chemicals. Or tractors and combine harvesters, and the state must provide top rate support for the production of these and everyone concerned with them. — Great attention must be paid to economic measures. Waste must be completely eradicated, and this must be comprehensively implemented. This must be taken in hand as a matter of great urgency. In addition, the best use of food stocks is essential, by which I mean their proper use and the avoidance of waste, because wasting food is widespread in Turkey today. Huge amounts of food are wasted in workplaces in particular. This must be stopped at once. Food is generally thrown away in larger workplaces. That is a grave threat. It must be stopped at once. >>>

ADNAN OKTAR’S PROPOSALS FOR THE RESOLUTION OF THE ECONOMIC CRISIS, TAKEN FROM HIS MPL TV INTERVIEW (NOVEMBER 2008) — The reason for this economic crisis is the halting of goods, the halting or freezing of capital, the freezing of production. In other words, people are holding onto their money out of worldly greed and concern. Manufacturers are stopping production, saying “just in case I cannot sell my products, get or borrow money.” “Let us keep it stored away, just in case, and prices will go up in any case.” Potential purchasers say “let us hold on, as prices may go up or down.” Thus a mass death takes place. — The way out of the crisis is to do away with the interest system; in other words, the return to a banking system known as Islamic banking. Everyone has seen that this has been successful in England and in America. This is the only banking system not being affected by the crisis at the moment. And everyone is borrowing from there at the moment. It is being looked at in America and England and Europe. They are thinking of moving over to it, to Islamic banking. That is the first. Second, taxes need to be reduced. They need to be brought down, at least temporarily. Taxes are very high. That would enormously stimulate production. Third, there must be a high money supply for the markets. In other words, salaries of workers and civil servants must be raised, even if only temporarily, just for a time. And spending must be encouraged. >>>
