What is Money? Currency? Credit? Debt? What Happened to World Economics on the Way to Prosperity?

 
To discover the truth about what  has happened to the world economy since March 16, 2020, or the "meltdown" of 2008-09, stock market crash of October 1987 or since the economic crash of year 1929, etc., we need to understand three things: 1) That what is reported to the world via Mainstream Media (MSM) IS generally and specifically different than "actual" events, 2) That MSM, whether Washington Post, NYT, BBC, CDC, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, Pravda, Xinhua news agency, or die Wahrheit are, sadly, the paid mouthpieces of the wealthy ruling class, 3) That this "supposed" age of information is no different than any previous historical period.

The corrupting actions of the wealthy ruling class today on society has always been similar, even thousands of years ago: Study Carthage 2,000 years ago; Sparta & Athens; the adventures of Ghengis Khan, right to the present. All are really, just like today, the "adventures" of ruthless people who use money, debt, the "Town Criers," leaflets handed to citizenry (especially since Guttenberg) and Mainstream Media. Please realize that the job of MSM is to "misinform", not to inform - and, looking, for instance, at the Telecommunications Act of 1996 in the USA, 100 pages, sadly, has no mention of "truth" as a goal of the media, only concealment of sources. Other countries' Telecommunications acts are no different. And, when have you ever heard of a successful lawsuit against a telecommunications giant for lying?

What one learns here won't be part of the curriculum of most all universities. Such truths are hidden "in plain sight" from common folks, with mainstream media providng the "cover" between the ruling class and common folks, worldwide.

Henry Ford put it quite well when he was attributed to saying in 1937: "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for, if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."

Understanding "money" is the purpose of this website. Where did the money come from that central banks loan to governments, or loan out to borrowers for home mortgage loans or a credit card transaction"? "How did the $50 bill in your wallet get its value"? Do interest rates really have much, or anything, to do with inflation? (The short answer is, NO. Hence, the dance the FED goes through is pure hype!) Therefore, when the Federal Reserve manipulates the prime rate or interest rates, it is 99% "theatre" for the unsuspecting public. The proper question to ask is: "What really does cause inflation, depressions, recessions?" A single word will suffice: GREED.

The answers to these questions and more are closely guarded secrets that, if made public knowledge, would definitely cause INSTANT social disorder much more violent than the reaction to George Floyd's death, Black Lives Matter, Kyle Rittenhouse's trial, any civil unrest the United States experienced in 2020-2022, or even the peace and anti-Vietnam riots of the 1960s! You will see that the truth about money and banking are "well-hidden in plain sight"!

When people learn the truth, they ask, "Is banking and the monetary system really that corrupt"? Did Henry Ford know things about banking/money that have been kept close secrets for centuries, to this day? YES! Any group of individuals with unlimited power to create "legal tender" (money) in unlimited quantities are likely not angels and almost certainly will hoard and use what it can buy for their own gain or capacity to control! AOC wasn't wrong when she said, "You don't make a billion dollars, you take a billion dollars!"

How did it happen that a small cabal of bankers obtained the power to legally "print" money in unlimited quanties? In the United States, Woodrow Wilson signed into law the "Federal Reserve Act" in 1913, back-to-back with laws that created Federal Income Tax, back-to-back, just before the United States inserted itself into World War One (WW1), "conveniently" catalyzed by the Lufstatania incident and  financed by the Federal Reserve!

Think on this as you study this website: Abraham Lincoln was approached by British and French bankers to "finance" the Civil War, as there was no central bank in the USA after President Andrew Jackson abolished it in 1837. Lincoln said, "NO," and had the US government print interest-free Greenbacks to pay for the Civil War. And, even though the British and French probably counterfeited more Greenbacks than the US printed, it didn't affect the war. Ask yourself, "Who benefits when banks create money as debt?" And, how do they benefit, to the detriment of common folks?

Think back to your schooling! In perspective, weren't we taught that when people deposited money in banks - a percentage of the deposited money was made available to borrowers in the form of loans? Would it surprise you to know that that is not, even remotely, true? Close to 100% of all bank loans are with BRAND-NEW money, freshly "conjured up" especially for the bank loan. What? You don't believe that? Now maybe you can see why Henry Ford said what he said!! One thing is guaranteed. What John Q Public thinks he knows about money is, at best, a microscopic shadow of the truth.

WE WILL STUDY HOW MONEY IS CREATED. DISCOVER THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MONEY, BANKS, LOANS, DEBT, CREDIT AND USURY.

The average lower to middle class person may say, "I must get a job to trade my labor for money for my needs!" "Where would we all be if we didn't have a job and a friendly bank to loan us money to purchase big ticket items like our home and cars?" "Is there a better way?"

Let's explore where the money you have in your wallet originated. What the "who, what, and how" of society's monetary system is. Answers to these questions will let us know who the prime benefactors of the present monetary system are.

If a bank "creates" money used as a loan on your house's equity, where should payments to the bank for interest or principal payments go? What should the bank do with that money? What does a bank do with loan payment money?
 
The answers are likely very different than you think or will be told by your "trusted" bank loan officer.

Because the truths about the monetary system & banking are so well-guarded, some of the above questions are only glancingly relevant. Commercial banks do a good job of hiding the truth "right in plain sight"! So good are banks and the Fed in hiding the "truth," that even most lower bank officers and employees don't know the real truth!!

JOBS.
One distraction, on jobs. As you may know, the real unemployment rate, even in late 2020 or 2021, is much higher than reported one because the official "unemployment" rate only reports the number of people that have been seeking jobs in the last four (4) weeks and/or getting unemployment compensation. It does NOT count as unemployed those people that even work a few hours a week at poverty wages. Nor does it count those who have "given up" searching. Temporarily, this is less important in the age of the Covid story, but quite relevant!

LET'S GET BACK TO BASICS
What's the purpose for money? If you think, "Money is the medium by which a fair, honest and transparent exchange of goods and services between people takes place," you would be largely correct! Except for transactions involving bank loans and large transactions between banks, giant companies, hedge funds, governments and the like.

For transactions involving banks, loans, borrowing, interest payments, and the like, the path becomes quite muddied.

Although money does serve the purpose of being a medium of exchange, it is nearly always created as usurious, malicious debt by commercial banks and the FED, Fannie Mae, central foreign banks, etc. with the purpose of funding loans (Look at linked websites and "How is Money Created"). However, when big companies and/or publicly traded companies, that could easily eliminate debt, create a " niche" in their cashflow to accommodate debt service - one should "raise one's eyebrows" to ask what's really happening. Guaranteed that you won't find reasons for such debt service in their books or in school text books.

When the ugly heads of debt, loans and credit are inserted, it is unmistakeable that lending and interest are grossly unfair and, as we will see, much of the time, totally non-transparent, especially for larger entities and government activities. Looking at us lesser folks, a home that you bought for, say $300,000.00, with a 30 year mortgage, ends up costing you maybe $750,000.00 with interest at the loan's maturity - giving the bank a profit of $450,000.00 for money that didn't exist before the mortgage loan. That you were haggling with the seller for $5,000 is insignificant compared to the bank's non-negotiable $450,000.00 profit! The bank "creates" new money to fund the mortgage loan. And, if the "homeowner" defaults on their loan, the bank gets to take the house in foreclosure! Does this sound fair? That the bank gets to take your home when it "financed" the loan for it with (what amounts to) counterfeit money! Very few people know the money mechanics of the loan-making process. How come no one knows how malicious mortgage loans are? Could it be that banks own and/or control ALL the major network media maybe worldwide? If so, is this transparent?

One statistic in early 2020 suggests that the poorest half of the population of the United States has a "negative" net worth. If so, this means that, on average,  175,000,000 US citizens have more debt than assets (home, car and business loans, student debt, IRS debt, etc.), essentially making these people debt slaves, and, if they lose their houses to greedy banks, welfare slaves! In 2021, thanks to the Covid story, it could be that 70% of the people have a negative net worth, even with the "stimulus" or unemployment benefit checks people have gotten, which is usually tiny compared to what people need to live by and turn the keys in their locks!

How did this happen? Right under our noses, it did! When you understand that the MONEY funding bank LOANS or written for stimulus checks is NEW money (banks, directly or indirectly, almost always create new MONEY to fund the LOANS), you can see the real meaning of hidden fraud, "fraud in the inducement" (look it up!), usury, coercion, intimidation, and much more, cleverly disguised as being "positive" attributes in the monetary system. The whole rigmarole and ritual of credit & lending, debt, money creation and destruction are steeped in deep levels of unfairness & non-transparency!

The root causes of the rot we see in society are tied, in very large part, to this monetary unfairness and non-transparency, especially in the lending sector. If we can fix these monetary root causes of rot, we would have cause for unparalleled optimism for the future of the human race!! Never before in the history of man have humans had so much abundance of resources, food, and freedom from drudgery and manual labor, largely thanks, in large part, to technology, computerization and robotization. But also never before has there been so much unnecessary poverty and disparity between the rich, the poor and the impoverished. Technology and bifurcation are two sides of the same coin called, "malicious usury!" With productive yields that are many times that of man even 75 years ago, thanks to robotization, AI, and automation, if the fruits of production were distributed even slightly evenly, then we would have individual prosperity for the masses at new levels every year.

But, we all know that the fruits of labor, AI, robotization and computer-integrated manufacturing is heavily skewed toward the 0.01% reaping ever-more rewards for such productive fruits!

Think, a moment, about the "upper crust" of society: The Ellison's, the Buffett's, the Walton's, the Rockefeller families, and the dozens of other business owners, bankers, real estate developers, hedge fund managers, and the like. NONE of them needs to trade one second of hard labor or experience drudgery to assure that they will have a roof over their heads and food on their tables. In fact, some of these families are so wealthy that they may own homes in many of the cities they frequent! It is alleged that David Rockefeller had over 100 homes worldwide and that each home had a dozen or more servants at his beck and call. Imagine the wealth to afford that! How did it get that way?

It is clear that a huge disparity exists between the working class of folks and the "upper crust," a disparity that is largely independent of intelligence, talent, abilities, heredity, longevity, genetics, and the like. There are many talented musicians, artists, scientists, sculptors, etc. that cannot get jobs that pay a living wage. And a dis-proportionate number of people, many of them very talented, are burdened with debt so huge and mushrooming - that they can't pay the interest on the debt, much less ever pay back the principal in their lifetimes! Some of this debt is student debt.

WHAT ABOUT STUDENT DEBT?
High school graduates are told to go to college so that they can get higher paying jobs. Nearly all college students can get loans via FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), no matter what their field of study!! And, not only that, the universities tell you that maybe you can get sizeable, free, grants that might subsidize your school education! Sounds so liberating, right?!

Well, ...the average bachelor's degree may cost $150,000.00 from a land-grant, state university, and much more if the university is private or not so privileged!

But, the government and banks
DO NOT discriminate between
fields of study that have a higher
or lower probability that the student
can get jobs that are capable of
paying off the student loan.

Getting a degree in "basket weaving" (excuse the pun!) is just as eligible for a student loan as going for an M.D.! Wow!

Making the student debt scene worse is that many parents are/were forced to take out "Parent Plus" loans along for their children! Many parents may have credit ratings that make them eligible for their children's student loans, but with the extra burden of the student loans, parents often find that the debt puts them in jeopardy or in bankruptcy! And bankruptcy does not allow parents to escape from the student loans!! Parents can bankrupt out of other debt, but not student loans for their kids! Parental student debt is forever!
What is happening here? Why should this be?

A student's loan debt also cannot be discharged in bankruptcy!! Which means that both the students and their parents may become permanent debt slaves to the banking establishment - with lifelong, ballooning debt they can never remove from their record. Worse, this crippling student debt maybe doubles or triples (or makes impossible) the purchase costs of insurance, car and home mortgage loans which they could afford if they didn't have unpayable and ballooning debt! The upper crust has the lowest costs for such insurance and credit lines.    Somehow this seems reversed from how it should be, as the people least able to afford debt and insurance have the highest such costs!

Do you maybe think that the banks and lenders are setting up people to be debt slaves?

SENIOR CITIZENS' MORTGAGE LOANS

Did you know that 85 year old senior citizens can get 30 year mortgage loans without age discrimination, just like people in their 30's, per statute in most all venues? The bankers say, "We can't discriminate against senior citizens on the basis of age to limit their ability to get home mortgage loans." Without thinking, it sounds pretty lofty, just like saying, "There will be no discrimination on the basis of race, sexual preference, sex, creed or beliefs." BUT, differences in a person's race, creed, sexual preferences, beliefs, etc. DO NOT interfere with a person's ability earn income so as to make payments on a home loan. Not so for an 88 year-old man who applies for a 30 year mortgage loan. Is it possible that he will not live to see his mortgage paid off in full? Very likely!!

If an elderly borrower cannot, almost ever, live long enough to pay off a loan - is it possible that the "non-discriminatory" loans were given to that senior citizen with an intent that the loan would likely go into default and that the bank would have to "eat" the loan? Or might it be that the bank would still have secret benefits? Hmmm... Well, we don't want to discriminate against senior citizens, but surely the terms of loans to seniors also needs to address the reality of the seniors' short life expectancy!

We contend that bankers are not telling the public how they really benefit if the borrower dies long before their loan matures! Just like we're not being told how bankers can maintain trillions of dollars of student debt...

SUMMARY
Then, can we then make the argument that it is possible that the bankers are "marching to different "drummers" than what they say they are??

Bankers absolutely know that if a student is educated in fields that have low income, then it's nearly impossible for them to even pay the interest, let alone the principal on such loans. Bankers also know that a senior citizen will likely never be able to pay off his 30-year mortgage loan. So what is happening here??

How is unpayable student debt related to 30 year home loans to seniors that they can never live long enough to pay off? Is it possible that bankers expect that many or most of loans they make will not, or cannot ever be paid off? How can they afford to do this? Why don't they "run" out of money?

 "You cannot both have your cake and eat it, too!!" Perhaps you will see that the bankers are indeed marching to a much different drummer than "serve the people" - unless they are following the book on the Twilight Zone episode, entitled "To serve Man."
