Statement on Respect

Statement on Racism, Antisemitism, Conspiracism, and Responsibility in Monetary Reform Publications, Discussions and Presentations.

The American Monetary Institute (AMI) stands firmly against inequality, injustice, hate, discrimination, racism, and conspiracism in all its forms. We believe that publicly creating our nation’s money will contribute to fostering equality, justice, love, understanding, inclusion, and integration in society. As we work to reform the monetary system, it is critical to approach these discussions with care, ensuring that no ethnic, racial, or religious group is unfairly blamed for the structure or flaws of modern finance.

While historical references to different groups may arise in discussions about the evolution of banking and monetary systems, AMI is committed to presenting such information in a balanced and accurate manner. We are acutely aware of the unfortunate tendency of some to link criticisms of the banking system to antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories. This is not only wrong but harmful, as it distorts the true nature of the systemic issues we seek to address and creates divisions where unity is essential for progress.

AMI explicitly rejects any notion that links the faults of the current monetary system to any specific ethnic or religious group. Antisemitism, conspiracism, and other forms of prejudice have no place in our movement. The issues with modern monetary policy and banking are structural and systemic, and they involve people from all backgrounds. Addressing these issues requires a focus on the system itself, not on scapegoating any particular community.

We also take a clear stance against far-fetched conspiracies, which often distract from meaningful analysis and constructive reform. However, AMI recognizes that criminal conspiracies—organized actions by individuals or groups to achieve unlawful ends—do exist in the world. It is important to maintain a distinction between credible investigations into real wrongdoing and the promotion of baseless, harmful conspiracy theories that undermine serious dialogue and public trust.

AMI recognizes the deep political polarization in the United States today and rejects efforts to frame monetary reform as belonging to either the “right” or the “left.” Concentrated wealth, financial instability, and a money system that fails the common good affect all people, regardless of political affiliation. Meaningful reform requires people across the spectrum to find common ground in creating a system that strengthens democracy, fairness, and justice.

We will remain vigilant in ensuring that our platform and conferences are free from hate speech, discrimination, and conspiratorial rhetoric. We reserve the right to edit, disavow, and deny the use of our platform to any individual or group that promotes racist, antisemitic, or other discriminatory or conspiratorial narratives.

As we continue our work, we welcome participation from people of all ethnicities, religions, and backgrounds, united by the shared goal of building a just and equitable monetary system for everyone.
