'Money, together with fear, are the main weapons of human control. When you follow the bloodlines through history there are a number of themes which constantly recur; one of which is the system of lending people 'money' that doesn't exist and charging interest on it.
When you go into a bank and agree a 'loan' they don't print a single new note; mint a single new coin or move an ounce of precious metal a single inch. They simply type into your account the amount they have agreed to 'loan'.
They have created money out of nothing and it has cost them nothing to do it. But from that moment you start paying interest on that money which has never and will never exist.
They call this CREDIT.
Every time you put a pound or a dollar or a euro in a bank, you are giving then the right to lend TEN pounds or dollars or euros they do not have. This system of so called 'fiat' money and 'fractional reserve lending' means bank can create money out of thin air whenever they wish.
The deluge of debt with which people, businesses and governments constantly battle is the same 'frsh air money'. Personal debt, national debt, third world debt - all of it.'
