Billions for Bankers--Debts for the People Part 4: Manipulating Stocks for Fun and Profit

DarthDubious's picture

You say, "This is terrible!" Yes, it is, but we have shown only part of the sordid story. Under this unholy system, those United States Bonds have now become "assets" of the banks in the Reserve System which they then use as "reserves" to "create" more "credit" to lend. Current "reserve" requirements allow them to use that $1 billion in bonds to "create" as much as $15 billion in new "credit" to lend to states, municipalities, to individuals and businesses.

Added to the original $1 billion, they could have $16 billion of "created credit" out in loans paying them interest with their only cost being $1,000 for printing the original $1 billion! Since the U.S. Congress has not issued Constitutional money since 1863 (more than 100 years), in order for the people to have money to carry on trade and commerce they are forced to borrow the "created credit" of the Monopoly bankers and pay them usury-interest!

In addition to almost unlimited usury, the bankers have another method of drawing vast amounts of wealth. The banks who control the money at the top are able to approve or disapprove large loans to large and successful corporations to the extent that refusal of a loan will bring about a reduction in the selling price of the corporation's stock.

After depressing the price, the bankers' agents buy large blocks of the company's stock. Then, if the bank suddenly approves a multi-million dollar loan to the company, the stock rises and is then sold for a profit. In this manner, billions of dollars are made with which to buy more stock. This practice is so refined today that the Federal Reserve Board need only announce to the newspapers an increase or decrease in their "discount rate" to send stocks soaring or crashing at their whim.

Using this method since 1913, the bankers and their agents have purchased secret or open control of almost every large corporation in America. Using this leverage, they then force the corporations to borrow huge sums from their banks so that corporate earnings are siphoned off in the form of interest to the banks. This leaves little as actual "profits" which can be paid as dividends and explains why banks can reap billions in interest from corporate loans even when stock prices are depressed. In effect, the bankers get a huge chunk of the profits, while individual stockholders are left holding the bag.

The millions of working families of America are now indebted to the few thousand banking families for twice the assessed value of the entire United States. And these Banking families obtained that debt against us for the cost of paper, ink, and bookkeeping!

The interest amount is never created

The only way new money (which is not true money, but rather credit representing a debt), goes into circulation in America is when it is borrowed from the bankers. When the State and people borrow large sums, we seem to prosper. However, the bankers "create" only the amount of the principal of each loan, never the extra amount needed to pay the interest. Therefore, the new money never equals the new debt added. The amounts needed to pay the interest on loans is not "created," and therefore does not exist!

Under this system, where new debt always exceeds new money no matter how much or how little is borrowed, the total debt increasingly outstrips the amount of money available to pay the debt. The people can never, ever get out of debt!

The following example will show the viciousness of this interest-debt system via its "built in" shortage of money.

The Tyranny of Compound Interest

When a citizen goes to a banker to borrow $100,000 to purchase a home or a farm, the bank clerk has the borrower agree to pay back the loan plus interest. At 8.25% interest for 30 years, the borrower must agree to pay $751.27 per month for a total of $270,456.00.

The clerk then requires the citizen to assign to the banker the right of ownership of the property if the borrower does not make the required payments. The bank clerk then gives the borrower a $100,000 check or a $100,000 deposit slip, crediting the borrower's checking account with $100,000.

The borrower then writes checks to the builder, subcontractors, etc. who in turn write checks. $100,000 of new "checkbook" money is thereby added to the "money in circulation."

However, this is the fatal flaw in the system: the only new money created and put into circulation is the amount of the loan, $100,000. The money to pay the interest is NOT created, and therefore was NOT added to "money in circulation."

Even so, this borrower (and those who follow him in ownership of the property) must earn and take out of circulation $270,456.00, $170,456.00 more than he put in circulation when he borrowed the original $100,000! (This interest cheats all families out of nicer homes. It is not that they cannot afford them; it is because the bankers' interest forces them to pay for nearly 3 homes to get one!)

Every new loan puts the same process in operation. Each borrower adds a small sum to the total money supply when he borrows, but the payments on the loan (because of interest) then deduct a much larger sum from the total money supply.

There is therefore no way all debtors can pay off the money lenders. As they pay the principle and interest, the money in circulation disappears. All they can do is struggle against each other, borrowing more and more from the money lenders each generation. The money lenders (bankers), who produce nothing of value, gradually gain a death grip on the land, buildings, and present and future earnings of the whole working population. Proverbs 22:7 has come to pass in America. "The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender."

Small loans do the same thing

If you have not quite grasped the impact of the above, let us consider an auto loan for 5 years at 9.5% interest. Step 1: Citizen borrows $25,000 and pays it into circulation (it goes to the dealer, factory, miner, etc.) and signs a note agreeing to pay the Bankers a total of $31,503 over 5 years. Step 2: Citizen pays $525.05 per month of his earnings to the Banker. In five years, he will remove from circulation $6,503 more than he put in circulation.

Every loan of banker "created" money (credit) causes the same thing to happen. Since this has happened millions of times since 1913 (and continues today), you can see why America has gone from a prosperous, debt-free nation to a debt-ridden nation where practically every home, farm and business is paying usury-tribute to the bankers.

Checking Up On Cash

In the millions of transactions made each year like those just discussed, little actual currency changes hands, nor is it necessary that it do so.

About 95 percent of all "cash" transactions in the U. S. are executed by check. Consider also that banks must only hold 10 percent of their deposits on site in cash at any given time. This means 90 percent of all deposits, though they may actually be held by the ban, are not present in the form of actual cash currency.

That leaves the banker relatively safe to "create" that so-called "loan" by writing the check or deposit slip not against actual money, but against your promise to pay it back! The cost to him is paper, ink and a few dollars of overhead for each transaction. It is "check kiting" on an enormous scale. The profits increase rapidly, year after year.

Our Own Debt is Spiraling into Infinity

In 1910 the U. S. Federal debt was only $1 billion, or $12.40 per citizen. State and local debts were practically non-existent.

By 1920, after only six years of Federal Reserve shenanigans, the Federal debt had jumped to $24 billion, or $228 per person.

In 1960 the Federal debt reached $284 billion, or $1,575 per citizen and state and local debts were mushrooming.

In 1998 the Federal debt passed $5.5 trillion, or $20,403.90 per man, woman and child and is growing exponentially.

State and local debts are increasing as fast Federal debts. However, they are too cunning to take the title to everything at once. They instead leave us with some "illusion of ownership" so you and your children will continue to work and pay the bankers more of your earnings on ever increasing debts. The "establishment" has captured our people with their debt-money system as certainly as if they had marched in with an uniformed army.

Gambling Away the American Dream

To grasp the truth that periodic withdrawal of money through interest payments will inexorably transfer all wealth in the nation to the receiver of interest, imagine yourself in a poker or dice game where everyone must buy the chips (the medium of exchange) from a "banker" who does not risk chips in the game.

He just watches the table and reaches in every hour to take 10 percent to 15 percent of all the chips on the table. As the game goes on, the amount of chips in the possession of each player will fluctuate according to his luck.

However, the total number of chips available to play the game (carry on trade and business) will decrease steadily.

As the game starts getting low on chips, some players will run out. If they want to continue to play, they must buy or borrow more chips from the "banker". The "banker" will sell (lend) them only if the player signs a "mortgage" agreeing to give the "Banker" some real property (car, home, farm, business, etc.) if he cannot make periodic payments to pay back all the chips plus some extra chips (interest). The payments must be made on time, whether he wins (makes a profit) or not.

It is easy to see that no matter how skillfully they play, eventually the "banker" will end up with all of his original chips back, and except for the very best players, the rest, if they stay in long enough, will lose to the "banker" their homes, their farms, their businesses, perhaps even their cars, watches, and the shirts off their backs!

Our real life situation is much worse than any poker game. In a poker game no one is forced into debt, and anyone can quit at any time and keep whatever he still has. But in real life, even if we borrow little ourselves from the "bankers," our local, State and Federal governments borrow billions in our name, squander it, then confiscate our earnings via taxation in order to pay off the bankers with interest.

We are forced to play the game, and none can leave except by death. We pay as long as we live, and our children pay after we die. If we cannot or refuse to pay, the government sends the police to take our property and give it to the bankers. The bankers risk nothing in the game; they just collect their percentage and "win it all." In Las Vegas, all games are rigged to pay the owner a percentage, and they rake in millions. The Federal Reserve bankers' "game" is also rigged, and it pays off in billions!

In recent years, Bankers have added some new cards to their deck: credit cards are promoted as a convenience and a great boon to trade. Actually, they are ingenious devices from the seller and 18% interest from buyers. A real "stacked" deck!

Your concerns about the system are all based on credit and borrowing. If the average citizen only bought what they could pay for, i.e. save up for that car instead of financing it, then the average citizen isn't playing that game. I've always preferred to own what drive, live in, and sit on instead of paying for someone else to have the ability to take it away from me. What would happen if Americans went back to that mindset and quit borrowing for instant gratification?

I think there is a bigger picture here. You're right about the concept of living within your means. But, really, who could save up the money to pay cash for a house? When it comes to the most basic of necessities, shelter, there isn't much choice but to finance.

Whenever I've been asked the question - "Are you a homeowner?" - I always say "Well, not really, I'm just living in the house that I will someday own.".

Dawn, You are absolutely right about the house issue. I had put a couple of sentences in about that, but took them out because it confused my point Smiling

I do, however, see many many 'house poor' people (even myself in the mirror!) for buying more than they needed or could reasonably afford. If I had bought about 50k less, I'd be in better financial shape. A medical emergency nearly had me losing everything, but I had savings and stayed on top of things. Now I just have to rebuild my savings and keep my house up so I don't later have to say I made a long-term bad decision!

Well named! The main underlying fallacy (of so many) is that money can be used more than once. It is not necessary to “create” more money to pay interest. When your citizen repays his car loan he is not removing money from circulation. In fact he's doing the opposite.

You're in luck though. 'Tis the season for “It's a Wonderful Life.” Watch it and learn the basics of how loan companies work.

This is why, in the credit industry, credit card companies refer to those who pay off their debts as 'dead beats'. They don't make anything off honorable debtors who pay their bills and pay them on time.

This is why, after years of paying my bills every month and paying them on time I was late with payment one time, after having surgery that left me bed bound for 6 weeks - BAM! 33% interest - I was, at that point in bondage. It has been a downward spiral since, just trying to make minimum payments and getting nowhere.

Now, I have paid off my car, my student loan, and 4 of my 7 credit card accounts. Now, all of a sudden, I am bombarded with offers in the mail. The enticement of blank checks from cards I have paid off. They are hoping that I will take the bait. A person in debt is a slave.

Darth, I have always enjoyed reading your posts. You are right - the truth will set you free but how do we function in a society that has been designed to destroy us?

I don't care nothing about all that money creation crap by banks. Banks is where the money supposed to be. I just want my bank credit cards, my bank refinanced home and my bank equity loan. The government told me to be a consumer and spend, so that's what I've been doing. And having a hellava good time at it too. You make it all sound bad, but if it wasn't for good consumers like me, all the businesses would have been bankrupt a long time ago. What's money for if not to spend? Tell them banks to create some more money and get this economy rolling again.

at least the FED is, but here's the rub: just like any other product, or commodity, the more there is, the less its worth. Due to inflation (which is just a fancy word for the size of the physical money supply) the buying power of today's dollar compared to 1913 when the FED was incorporated is four (4) cents. In less than 100 years the FED has destroyed our monetary system and replaced it with a credit system based totally on debt.

The Fed was touted as God's gift to the citizenry, taking money powers from the politicians, and providing financial stability, and an escape from the booms and busts formerly seen in banking and wall street. As HISTORY has shown, nothing could be further from the truth. Wall street was never as volatile as when the FED took control of our currency.

Congress borrows money at interest from the FED to run the US government: WHY? This is not necessary because the Constitution gives the power to coin money to CONGRESS alone. The FED does not need to exist at all.

The FED needs to be abolished, then WE THE PEOPLE will regain control of our government and the economy.

Yo mean that mob of 534 idiots we elect to congress are goin to all agree on what to do about our money? They goin to do just what they always did. Spend mo money. They gone tell the treasury to start up the printin press and issue mo dollars w/out any collateral. If the $ keeps goin down, they jest print double and I can keep on spendin. Hey, I got some gold and silver. Think that congress mob could use it to back the dollar? But they won’t do it, coz, their spendin would be limited to the amount of gold & silver they had. Is there anybody else we kin git to fix that 4¢ dollar? Anyhow, that congress mob don’t borrow money from the fed. The treasury man sells bonds to stupid people, then sells more bonds to pay the stupid people back with interest. One day them stupid people gone smart up and figure out they gettin paid back with a 4¢ dollar. Then they gone stop buyin them bonds and the govment gone bankrupt. Then, I can’t spent no mo…

was frozen at $35oz when the standard was in effect. If the standard were to be reinstituted, I suppose they would again freeze the price at whatever it would be on the day it took effect.

The problem with what they did was that everyone's gold was pretty much stolen from them by the FED through the DC government, and you couldn't even buy/own it legally for quite a few years.

However this will never happen, because the global banking cartels want to get rid of physical cash anyway, and they are fast-tracking their plans. What better way to get rid of cash than by hyperinflating, and thereby destroying the fiat global reserve currency, the US Dollar? This is exactly what is happening: the more worthless money they print, the more worthless it gets. Wall street bailouts, housing, now Detroit, and they don't even mention or disclose how much the FED is actually pumping into banks on top of that.

We are about to hit the wall, its no longer if, but when we hit bottom and for how long. Stock up on dry goods and ammo is all I can tell ya!

If you artificially price gold is the "dollar" which it backs actually being backed up by an asset? They've got us coming and going.

BTW: Did you know that one half of all the credit issued in US history has been underwritten by the FED in the last 24 weeks? Heard it on NPR today. $7.4 trillion and counting.

BTW II: The new poverty guidelines issued by Sweden last week says you're in poverty if you can't afford to get drunk twice a month. That's about as good a definition as I've ever heard.

I've made that mistake. In past post I stated that Obama had used the term New World Order in his speech in Germany. This statement was ignorantly made from hearsay and Sniffles called me on it. He was right and I was wrong. I did some research, hoping not to make the same mistake again, and found that others in the past HAD used that term: Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt.

It is sometimes hard to look into the soul of mainstream thought and see the truth through the haze of fallacy. And, it is even harder to admit that what you have been taught your whole life, ie: Roosevelt was a great leader, isn't as it seems and that your own beliefs must now be challenged.

Like the philosopher (can't remember his name at the moment) that went from town to town, lantern in hand, searching for an honest man - we must never stop seeking truth. And it is paramount to know the difference between theory and fact.

DarthDubious, I regret to say you’re a nut case.

When I studied Money and Banking as an undergraduate student (Business Administration), I was exposed to the concepts you bring up, except that my course materials were more coherent than what you presented.

One has simply to open up a dictionary to the definition of money to show you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Money is defined as (1) a medium of exchange, (2) a denomination, (3) somebody’s coins and bills, (4) savings or credit, (5) wages or salary, (6) convertible assets, (7) national currency, (8) recognized medium of exchange, and (9) rich people.

Money is a conceptual tool. There is no such thing as true money. (Or false money.) It only works because we are civilized. Otherwise we’d barter our goods and services (or use rocks).

The multiplier effect of central bank credit has been known for decades, and there’s been no revolution anywhere yet. Smarten up!
