Everything of value is at risk, including our futures and that of our loved ones - unless we can reverse the corrupted system entrapping us, and think of the benefits: expanded government services and prosperity, inflation and tax free.
Today's "web of debt" is based on fraud, deceit, and manipulative sleights of hand, including:
-- fractional reserve alchemy - pure hocus-pocus witchcraft hokum;
-- the gold standard of an earlier time letting bankers dangerously inflate the money supply "on the same gold reserves;"
-- the private banking cartel Federal Reserve owned by major banks in each of 12 Fed districts empowered to create money and charge the government, business, and individuals interest on it - the result being everyone put in permanent debt bondage to world-class predators;
-- the federal debt and money supply; both continually expand under a highly inflationary scheme;
-- the federal income tax to pay interest to bankers;
-- the FDIC and IMF to ensure mega-banks get bailed out no matter what unwarranted risks they take; the IMF is also a sort of knee-cap breaking enforcer for the monied interests - extracting multiple pounds of flesh in as part of a giant extortion racket;
-- a "free market" for those who own it under a corrupted, manipulated system of socialized risks and privatized profits, enforced by the Pentagon's long arm;
-- the Plunge Protection Team (PPT) and Counterparty Risk Management Policy Group (CRMPG) - created to rig and manipulate markets along with colluding Wall Street bankers bailed out whenever they get in trouble; the notion that markets move randomly is rubbish - about as real as the tooth fairy or Mother Goose;
-- "floating" exchange rates - for more manipulation and collusion in international currency markets;
-- short selling - for speculators in all type assets; when used against currencies, it can artificially force them down enough to cause economic havoc the way it was done to Asian Tiger countries in 1997 and many others as well;
-- "globalization" and "free trade" - a predatory system benefitting America and the West under WTO rules; countries also become vulnerable to speculative assaults when their currencies are convertible and economies opened to "free trade;"
-- inflation myths - money creation isn't the problem; speculative currency attacks force destructive devaluations, meaning prices rise as a result; American inflation is "caused by private banks inflating the money supply with debt," not by printing money; also by productive growth not keeping up;
-- the "business cycle" - responsible financial managements produce stable prosperity; when irresponsibly done by a private banking cartel, booms and busts result; it's an unnatural "monetary scheme in which money comes into existence as a debt to private banks for 'reserves' of something lent many times over;"
-- the home mortgage boondoggle - monetizing home mortgages today creates most money; borrowers think they're using "pre-existing funds, when the bank is just turning one's promise to pay into an 'asset' secured by real property;" when paid off, the interest usually exceeds the original loan, and in cases of default, banks seize the homes;
