Analysis of Banking Practices and Usury
All three of the Abrahamic religions teach that lending to
the poor is an act of compassion that serves the entire
community, and therefore, charging interest was seen
as immoral. It was called usury and was considered
a heinous crime.
The Roman Empire allowed usury, but in eleven
seventy-nine, the Catholic Church decreed that usury
was forbidden. This law did not apply to Jews.
While the Torah admonishes usury, Talmudic law
allows a Jew to practice usury with a non-Jew, and
so money lending became primarily a Jewish business.
Over the years, usury became more accepted in Western
society, and we've changed the definition with the
addendum
of charging interest at an excessive rate.
In the seventeenth century, the Bank of England began
issuing paper fiat money. This gave the banks the
ability to simply print money out of thin air.
And for over a century, this was rightfully called out as fraud
until it became public policy, known now as
fractional reserve banking.
What was once seen as immoral is now seen
as normal.
Many assume that the financial loans given out by the banks are
coming from savings they hold for their depositors, but this is
not true. When someone takes out a loan, the bank
creates new money out of thin air and then charges the
person interest to borrow it. Fractional reserve
banking allows the banks to legally create ten times the
amount of each deposit. This inflating of the circulating
currency devalues that currency and allows
the banks an opportunity to profit dramatically.
The Federal Reserve Act of nineteen thirteen began a system of
debt designed to inflate beyond its means
until it implodes, the exact opposite of sound
money. The banking cartel funded both sides of
World War
I, which led to the Great Depression, which led to the Emergency
Banking Act of nineteen thirty-three, which ended the
gold standard and made every dollar spent an
IOU to further increase the debt, which is
ultimately owed by the American people.
The banking cartel funded both sides of World War II, which led
to the Bretton Woods monetary system, which made the
USD the world reserve currency and gave central
banks the option to go straight to the gold window of the US
Treasury to exchange US dollars for physical gold.
But by endlessly creating more debt, it became clear that the
US had printed far beyond their gold reserves.
And when several nations came to collect their gold, the federal
government dishonorably closed the gold window.
To maintain world reserve currency status, the US
turned to its military, guns for hire to Saudi
Arabia in return for the petrodollar and war with any
nation who threatens USD dominance.
A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that pays
existing investors with funds collected from new investors,
and that's what the bankers created.
They profit exponentially off the people's debt.
It was designed to collapse, and that's what it's doing now.
All the markets are crashing, and the derivatives market alone
is in the quadrillions, which is much more than the total
financial assets of the entire world.
There is nothing left to prop up the dollar.
This Ponzi scheme is at its end. What that means
is that the money you have in the banks will disappear.
Everything will go to zero, and then we reset.
How we do that will ultimately be up to the people.
The banking cartel knows that the only way they can survive this
collapse is to somehow convert everyone to an
authoritarian CBDC. But without the people's
trust, the banks will have problems with this.
Many people will lose everything and will want nothing but
justice from the old banking system, but many others
will comply.
Hard times are coming fast, and if we were smart,
we'd prepare. Let the big banks die and create a
banking system that serves we, the people.
