No, Virginia, there isn't a Santa Claus



The following is what I believe would have been a better response to Virginia O'Hanlon's now famous letter to The Sun, "Is there a Santa Claus?" Virginia mailed her letter in July of 1897 but it wasn't until September 21 1897 that it was answered by Francis Church.


 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"DEAR EDITOR: I am 8 years old.
"Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus.
"Papa says, 'If you see it in THE SUN it's so.'
"Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?

"VIRGINIA O'HANLON.
"115 WEST NINETY-FIFTH STREET."

Viginia, your little friends are right. They have seen the truth in an age of skepticism and commercialism. They do not believe the lies that large commercial organizations spread with their advertising. They think that it 's incomprehensible that the little minds of those who control large corporations would put money before truth. Virginia, these large corporations would tell you all minds, whether they be men's or children's, are little. They would tell you that in this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Virginia, there are no limits to your learning or that of your friends except when deception enters.

No, Virginia, there isn't a Santa Claus. He does not exist. But love, generosity, devotion and truth do exist. Know that only were these qualities abound, unfettered by falsehood can they give to your life its highest beauty and joy.

Alas! There are those who would want you to believe their lies. They would have you believe that you would have  a dreary world if there were no Santa Claus; that it would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias; that there would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence; that we should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight and that the eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Virginia, it is deception that makes this existence intolerable. When children such as yourself are deceived into believing a lie by those you trust, only to learn later the real truth, your faith is weakened. It is only with the continued repetition of finding the truth in the things you learn that your mind to opened to the glorious possibilities of this existence. 

Virginia, don't believe in Santa Claus and don't believe in the tooth fairy or even the Easter rabbit! Even if your papa hired men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus they would not see Santa Claus. Those who want you to believe in lies solely for their own financial gain would say, "What would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus." They would also try to convince you that the most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. They would even try to convince you that there are fairies dancing on the lawn and assert that just because you don't see them is no proof that they're not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are in the world, but this does not prove the existence of a make believe Santa Claus.

You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. But Santa Claus, tooth fairies and Easter rabbits don't fit into these wondrous qualities that make up your very essence.

There is no Santa Claus Virginia and thank God that a thousand years from now, nay ten times ten thousand years from now, only truth, honesty and freedom from deceit will make glad the heart of childhood.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After 113 years the original response to Virginia's letter has taken on a life of it's own. It is reprinted and retold all around the world. But why? Have none of you ever looked into the eyes of a child the moment they learn the truth -- that there is no Santa Claus. I've seen some that were brought to tears with this news. It was like they just lost their best friend. 

As adults we continue to deceive ourselves. We tell ourselves and each other that it's such a wonderful tradition. And this in spite of the fact that we feel, and see, the evidence of the debt this "tradition" continually inflict on so many.  

I tell you that you have been brainwashed by Coca Cola and a thousand other corporations that merely wont to extract the maximum number of dollars from your pocket. And they don't care what they have to get you to believe to accomplish this. Don't believe this? Then watch the first 13:30 minutes of just the first link below. You will see how on March 31, 1929, cigarettes became women's "Torches of Freedom", and you will learn how easily you can be controlled by simple deceptive messages and images.


Advertising then (1920s) was in its infancy. Today it is much more refined. All multinational corporations, and that includes the biggest, Banks, use these refined means against you. They even use sweet stories like, Is There a Santa Claus to put a smile on your face and a warm feeling inside that enables you to say, "Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus."
You have become an employee of the central banks if you really believe this. Please resign today.

All For One



On one hand it seems that we're so close to the the point where everyone understands that there's really only one major problem with our global society - the system of money that demands usury. This is not to say that there are no other problems. It's just to say, "correct this one and most of the others will disappear. The ones that will remain will be minor compared to what we face with usury.

But on the other hand our closeness to solution seems to be spawning a new problem. And that's that many now have their own solution. A brief look through the Internet is all that it takes to find thousands of links to alternative currencies. This is an indication that the problem is becoming known more now than ever before. Some of the alternative currency systems are designed only for a specific localized area and others are claimed to be the solution for the world. Many of the latter ones come with the disclaimer that once they are implemented there will be some tweaking of the system to refine some of the details.

The problem that seems to be developing is that groups of people are gathering rather strongly around these different proposals. Valuable time is being wasted debating the merits of one system over another. It seems cognitive dissonance is at work again; http://formulafordebt.blogspot.com/2010/12/cognitive-dissonance.html. It seems that once the human mind becomes attached to something it refuses to let go even when confronted with evidence to the contrary.

If the money issue that confronts the world today was just a personal issue, the time it takes to arrive at an agreed upon solution would hold little importance. But this is not just a personal issue. What brought me into this issue is the connection I saw between the use of usury and the poverty, unemployment, homelessness and ultimately, the starvation death of thousands of children a day that are the results of that usury. I saw that debt must be the result if interest of any amount is charge on money. 

My background is based in hard work. I was swinging an axe in the forest with my father 58 years ago when I was ten years old and followed my father into the logging industry in Ontario and eventually British Columbia. I became a saw fitter in lumber mills and eventually had my own cabinet shop where I designed and built kitchen cabinets, furniture and even a few acoustic classical guitars. I spent my life working with wood and money seemed always easy. My "knowledge" about money was, "if you want more, work harder."

Then somewhere around 1999 someone said, "You know, debt is the guaranteed result of our use of a private bank's money." I never argued with that but just asked, "how can that be." Knowing just the little about math that came with my seven and a half grades of education I began to play with numbers. Eventually I arrived at the following:

P - (P + I) = D

I call this the formula for debt. It's nothing unique as it just represents what many have said for at least a few hundred years. But it does make one of the most important statements I have ever heard. It simply states that Principal minus (Principal plus Interest) equals Debt. What this simple formula tells us is that the debt we see rising all through the world equals the usury charged on all the money borrowed from all the private central banks throughout the world. I fail to see how anyone can use this formula and come to the conclusion that interest is a good thing. Try it yourself. If you have ever had a loan or mortgage place that number in the place for the Principal. Next insert the interest that was/is charged and see what happens.

[Note: Remember that interest on mortgages is compounded.]

Let me show you one example. Let's agree someone has a loan of $1,000 for one year and the interest is 5%. We see that 5% would equal $50. So when we place these numbers into this formula we get the following:

$1,000 - ($1,000 + $50) = D

There's a rule in math that requires us to calculate the numbers within parentheses first. Following that rule we arrive at:

$1,000 - $1,050 = D

Now the last step is simply subtraction and we get:

-$50 = D

We now see that the debt on this loan over one year will amount to fifty dollars. Exactly the amount of interest charge. Every dollar within the economy of every country throughout the world is a borrowed dollar. This formula then, shows us that the increase in the global debt each year will equal the amount of the usury charges on all those dollars, euros, yen, etc. Based on this formula I would bet that the amount of debt in the world at this time next year (December 20, 2011) will be greater than it is now. Any takers?

I've heard that interest is necessary because without it no one would invest and industry would cease. Well maybe it's time to realize that the only dollar that has any true value is the one we actually work for. Maybe the time of making money with money needs to end. But are we intelligent enough to see that. Or are we so lazy or greedy that we will covet the money earned by the sweat of another and stoop to usury to steal it. As I see it the only people who argue for usury are those who would wish to make money on the labor of another. Maybe its time to hand these people a shovel or an axe and let them build up a sweat by doing more than just going for a slow jog in the park.

I'm drifting slightly from the original intention of this article so I'll drift back now. This is an important issue. It is, in my view, the most important issue facing this world at this time. And until you can prove the above formula wrong, you haven't proven me wrong. My statement to the world is, "prove this formula for debt wrong and I'll stop writing about this issue. I have sent this formula with this challenge to two Canadian Prime Ministers as well as their finance ministers. I put this challenge to them in the form of a NOTICE and gave them thirty days to respond. I told them that their failure to respond in the allotted thirty days will be taken as their tacit agreement that what I say is correct. That was over two years ago and their only response has been silence.

Well I'm sort of drifting back to my original intent here. Okay, no more drifting. I'll get right to it. All of us who know of this problem would be better served uniting under one method rather than arguing over different systems. I'm not naive enough to believe that this will happen any time soon. I'm just saying that logically it would solve the issue so much sooner if we could. And because the lives of defenseless children are at stake I feel it's imperative for us to begin drifting toward one clear solution.

I'm not an economist but I can see that there is one clear and easily implemented solution available to us. It's the clearest and most easily implemented method I've seen, and I have looked for a number of years. But like any method you wont understand it without some effort. The positive results of work requires honest effort. In the same way, your understanding of this method will also take your honest effort. All those who are now suffering because of usury need your effort. They are depending on you effort. Dedicate two weeks - a month if necessary - to gaining this understanding. You will not regret it if you do.

The method I speak of is called Mathematically Perfected Economy by its founder Mike Montagne. My vote is for Mathematically Perfected Economy. I hope it becomes yours. You can learn of it by following this link: http://perfecteconomy.com/.

You can listen to Mike Montagne explain Mathematically Perfected Economy by following this link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtwMkIssuUQ&p=4F0FC0AC39B3086A.

Your understanding will not come immediately but when it does you will see that what Mike is proposing is to take the Interest out of the above formula so that it reads:

P - P = 0

No Interest equals no debt. Quite simple actually.

Under the private central bank economy reflected in the formula for debt a $100,000 home will, over time, cost $300,00 to $400,000 and would require payments of about $1,000 to $1,250 per month for at least twenty years.

Under mathematically perfected economy your payments for a $100,000 home would be $83.33 per month! I'll use Mike's words to end this article. What more incentive do you need.

"While 12,000 homes a day continue to go into foreclosure, mathematically perfected economy™ would re-finance a $100,000 home with a hundred-year lifespan at the overall rate of $1,000 per year or $83.33 per month. Without costing us anything, we would immediately become as much as 12 times as liquid on present revenue. Transitioning to MPE™ would apply all payments already made against existent debt toward principal. Many of us would be debt free. There would be no housing crisis, no credit crisis. Unlimited funding would immediately be available to sustain all the industry we are capable of."

"There is no other solution. Regulation can only temper an inherently terminal process."

"If you are not promoting mathematically perfected economy™, then you condemn us to monetary failure."

Freedom From Responsibility

"When the freedom they desired most was the freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free, and never was free again." Edith Hamilton

Be careful of this word "freedom". If you want freedom from responsibility you should know that there are those who are more than willing - in fact they are eager to embrace that which you cast off. And years later when your grandchildren become adults they will be docile followers of those who picked up what you left behind.

Today the world is full of docile people. They know that responsibility for their children's education rests with the school board; that the responsibility for hospitals and medical care rests with the health "authority"; that the responsibility for law and order rests with the police; (they're even cautioned, "don't get involved. Call the police.") they know that the responsibility for their country's economy rests with the central bank and they know that their relationship with the people of other countries rests with the government.

But slowly, painfully slowly for some, there is an awakening going on today. That awakening is the realization that all the above mentioned responsibility rests not with any authority; it rest squarely on the shoulders of the people. The people have elected and appointed servants, not sovereigns. Sovereignty's rightful place rests with the people; always with the people. The people  forgot for awhile, but now memory's return journey has begun.

And with responsibility will come duty. Our duty to our self, to our family and our duty to each other.

Reminds me of a poem.


First They Came For
…By Reverend Martin Niemoeller…
In Germany, the Nazis first came for the communists, and
I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because
I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up
because I wasn’t a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics, but I didn’t speak up
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one
left to speak for me.
Reverend Niemoeller, a German Lutheran pastor, was arrested by the Gestapo and sent to Dachau in 1938. The allied forces freed him in 1945.

Honest open and transparent government can only exist under the watchful eye of the people. That old adage, "when the cat's away the mice will play" is never more true than with a government without the scrutiny of the people and the accountability to the people. 

We stand at a crossroad you and I. Let's wake up.

Billions for for Bankers, Debts at Interest for the People

The following was borrowed from:- END THE (European Central) BANKS. I would recommend that everyone who is serious about establishing a no interest money system join this site. It seem that it is a rather new site with only 42 members but it will prove to be a place were free discussion can take place. It is my feeling that all those who wish remedy from the interest charged by central banks need to become focused and unite under one banner. If you have read my writings at all you will see that I have always championed some form of what others have called a Public Credit Money System. I had no specific form in mind. I only knew that whatever form it was it must never have usury attacked to its money.

Recently I learned of Mathematically Perfected EconomyTM and have decided that this has all the answers that I have been looking for. It also has things I wasn't looking for. I live with a learning disability that makes reading difficult. Because of this I find Mike Montagne's web site, http://perfecteconomy.com/, difficult to navigate. I also (as others have) find that listening to Mike Montagne videos and radio messages not the easiest thing I have ever done. And some may even find problems with Mike's attitute at times. I periodically may be one of these. I also know there are time you would have trouble with mine.

When I speak of Mathematically Perfected Economy, I speak not for myself, nor for Mike Montagne or any other person associated in any way with Mathematically Perfected Economy. I speak only for Mathematically Perfected Economy. It is clear, it is simple it is concise and for me, in a word, it is brilliant. I encourage all to persist through whatever it takes for you to grasp a firm understanding of this. You have already persisted through years under the central banks. The next steps are easy compared to that. Especially if you can look far enough into the future and see the benefits that await you, your family and all future generations of the world. That's reallly what we fight for, isn't it? Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water over trivial matters, especially seeing how close we are to our ultimate victory.

ISSUE OUR MONEY FREE OF INTEREST - Adopt Mathematically Perfected Economy™ (MPE)

The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand. Once you understand (MPE) supporting anything else is economic suicide!! The solution to your fate is Mathematically Perfected Economy, ....but will you listen?

SHORT OF MONEY
Americans, living in what is called the richest nation on earth, seem always to be short of money. Wives are working in unprecedented numbers, husbands hope for overtime hours to earn more, or take part-time jobs evenings and weekends, children look for odd jobs for spending money, the family debt climbs higher, and psychologists say one of the biggest causes of family quarrels and breakups is "arguments over money." Much of this trouble can be traced to our present "debt AT INTEREST-money" system. Too few Americans realize why our founding fathers wrote into Article I of the U.S. Constitution: Congress shall have the Power to Coin Money and Regulate the Value Thereof.
They did this, as we will show, in prayerful hope it would prevent "love of money" from destroying the Republic they had founded. We shall see how subversion of Article I has brought upon us the horrors of which Jefferson had warned.

MONEY IS MAN'S ONLY "CREATION"
Economists use the term "create" when speaking of the process by which money comes into existence. Now, creation means making something that did not exist before. Lumbermen make boards from trees, workers build houses from lumber, and factories manufacture automobiles from metal, glass and other materials. But in all these they did not "create," they only changed existing materials into a more usable and, therefore, more valuable form. This is not so with money. Here, and here alone, man actually "creates" something out of nothing. A piece of paper of little value is printed so that it is worth a piece of lumber. With different figures it can buy the automobile or even the house. Its value has been "created" in the true meaning of the word

MONEY "CREATING" PROFITABLE
As is seen by the above, money is very cheap to make, and whoever does the "creating" of money in a nation can make a tremendous profit! Builders work hard to make a profit of 5% above their cost to build a house.
Auto makers sell their cars for 1% to 2% above the cost of manufacture and it is considered good business. But money "manufacturers" have no limit on their profits, since a few cents will print a $1 bill or a $10,000 bill.
That profit is part of our story, but first let us consider another unique characteristic of the thing - money, the love of which is the "root of all evil."

ADEQUATE MONEY SUPPLY NEEDED
An adequate supply of money is indispensable to civilized society. We could forego many other things, but without money industry would grind to a halt, farms would become only self-sustaining units, surplus food would disappear, jobs requiring the work of more than one man or one family would remain undone, shipping, and large movements of goods would cease, hungry people would plunder and kill to remain alive, and all government except family or tribe would cease to function.
An overstatement, you say? Not at all. Money is the blood of civilized society, the means of all commercial trade except simple barter. It is the measure and the instrument by which one product is sold and another purchased. Remove money or even reduce the supply below that which is necessary to carry on current levels of trade, and the results are catastrophic. For an example, we need only look at America's Depression of the early 1930's.
THE BANKERS DEPRESSION OF THE 1930's
In 1930 America did not lack industrial capacity, fertile-farm land, skilled and willing workers or industrious farm families. It had an extensive and highly efficient transportation system in railroads, road networks, and inland and ocean waterways. Communications between regions and localities were the best in the world, utilizing telephone, teletype, radio, and a well-operated government mail system. No war had ravaged the cities or the countryside, no pestilence weakened the population, nor had famine stalked the land. The United States of America in 1930 lacked only one thing: an adequate supply of money to carry on trade and commerce. In the early 1930's, Bankers, the only source of new money and credit, deliberately refused loans to industries, stores and farms.
Payments on existing loans were required however, and money rapidly disappeared from circulation. Goods were available to be purchased, jobs waiting to be done, but the lack of money brought the nation to a standstill. By this simple ploy America was put in a "depression" and the greedy Bankers took possession of hundreds of thousands of farms, homes, and business properties. The people were told, "times are hard," and "money is short." Not understanding the system, they were cruelly robbed of their earnings, their savings, and their property.

MONEY FOR PEACE? NO! MONEY FOR WAR? YES!
World War II ended the "depression." The same Bankers who in the early 30's had no loans for peacetime houses, food and clothing, suddenly had unlimited billions to lend for Army barracks, K-rations and uniforms! A nation that in 1934 couldn't produce food for sale, suddenly could produce bombs to send free to Germany and Japan! (More on this riddle later.)
With the sudden increase in money, people were hired, farms sold their produce, factories went to two shifts, mines re-opened, and "The Great Depression" was over! Some politicians were blamed for it and others took credit for ending it. The truth is the lack of money (caused by the Bankers) brought on the depression, and adequate money ended it. The people were never told that simple truth and in this article we will endeavor to show how these same Bankers who control our money and credit have used their control to plunder America and place us in bondage.

POWER TO COIN AND REGULATE MONEY
When we can see the disastrous results of an artificially created shortage of money, we can better understand why our Founding Fathers insisted on placing the power to "create" money and the power to control it ONLY in the hands of the Federal Congress. They believed that ALL citizens should share in the profits of its "creation" and therefore the national government must be the ONLY creator of money. They further believed that ALL citizens, of whatever State or Territory, or station in life would benefit by an adequate and stable currency and therefore, the national government must also be, by law, the ONLY controller of the value of money.
Since the Federal Congress was the only legislative body subject to all the citizens at the ballot box, it was, to their minds, the only safe depository of so much profit and so much power. They wrote it out in the simple, but all-inclusive: "Congress shall have the Power to Coin Money and Regulate the Value Thereof."

HOW THE PEOPLE LOST CONTROL TO THE FEDERAL RESERVE
Instead of the Constitutional method of creating our money and putting it into circulation, we now have an entirely unconstitutional system. This has resulted in almost disastrous conditions, as we shall see.
Since our money was handled both legally and illegally before 1913, we shall consider only the years following 1913, since from that year on, ALL of our money has been created and issued by an illegal method that will eventually destroy the United States if it is not changed. Prior to 1913, America was a prosperous, powerful, and growing nation, at peace with its neighbors and the envy of the world. But - in December of 1913, Congress, with many members away for the Christmas holidays, passed what has since been known as the FEDERAL RESERVE ACT. (For the full story of how this infamous legislation was forced through our Congress, read The Creature from Jekyll Island, by G. Edward Griffin or Conquest or Consent, by W. B. Vennard). Omitting the burdensome details, it simply authorized the establishment of a Federal Reserve Corporation, with a Board of Directors (The Federal Reserve Board) to run it, and the United States was divided into 12 Federal Reserve "Districts."
This simple, but terrible, law completely removed from Congress the right to "create" money or to have any control over its "creation," and gave that function to the Federal Reserve Corporation. This was done with appropriate fanfare and propaganda that this would "remove money from politics" (they didn't say "and therefore from the people's control") and prevent "Boom and Bust" from hurting our citizens. The people were not told then, and most still do not know today, that the Federal Reserve Corporation is a private corporation controlled by bankers and therefore is operated for the financial gain of the bankers over the people rather than for the good of the people. The word "Federal" was used only to deceive the people.

MORE DISASTROUS THAN PEARL HARBOR
Since that "day of infamy," more disastrous to us than Pearl Harbor, the small group of "privileged" people who lend us "our" money have accrued to themselves all of the profits of printing our money' - and more! Since 1913 they have "created" tens of billions of dollars in money and credit, which, as their own personal property, they then lend to our government and our people at interest. "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer" had become the secret policy of our National Government. An example of the process of "creation" and its conversion to people's "debt" will aid our understanding.

THEY PRINT IT - WE BORROW IT AND PAY THEM INTEREST
We shall start with the need for money. The Federal Government, having spent more than it has taken from its citizens in taxes, needs, for the sake of illustration, $1,000,000,000. Since it does not have the money, and Congress has given away its authority to "create" it, the Government must go the "creators" for the $1 billion. But, the Federal Reserve, a private corporation, doesn't just give its money away! The Bankers are willing to deliver $1,000,000,000 in money or credit to the Federal Government in exchange for the Government's agreement to pay it back - with interest! So Congress authorizes the Treasury Department to print $1,000,000,000 in U.S. Bonds, which are then delivered to the Federal Reserve Bankers.
The Federal Reserve then pays the cost of printing the $1,000,000,000 (about $1,000) and makes the exchange. The Government then uses the money to pay its obligations. What are the results of this fantastic transaction? Well, $1 billion in Government bills are paid all right, but the Government has now indebted the people to the Bankers for $1 billion on which the people must pay interest! Tens of thousands of such transactions have taken place since 1913 so that by the 1980's, the U.S. Government is indebted. to the Bankers for over $1,000,000,000,000 (trillion) on which the people pay over $100 billion a year in interest alone with no hope of ever paying off the principal. Supposedly our children and following generations will pay forever and forever!

AND THERE'S MORE
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 "fractional 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 (over 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!

AND THERE'S STILL MORE
In addition to the vast wealth drawn to them through this almost unlimited usury, the Bankers 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 price that that Corporation's stock sells for on the market. After depressing the price, the Bankers' agents buy large blocks of the stock, after which the sometimes multi-million dollar loan is approved, 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 "rediscount rate" to send stocks up and down as they wish. Using this method since 1913, the Bankers and their agents have purchased secret or open control of almost every large corporation in America. Using that control, they then force the corporations to borrow huge sums from their banks so that corporation 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 stock prices are often depressed, while the banks reap billions in interest from corporate loans. In effect, the bankers get almost all 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 is "credit" representing a debt), goes into circulation in America is when it is borrowed from 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 kind of a system, where new debt always exceeds the 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!
An example will show the viciousness of this usury-debt system with its "built-in" shortage of money.

IF $60,000 IS BORROWED, $255,931.20 MUST BE PAID BACK When a citizen goes to a Banker to borrow $60,000 to purchase a home or a farm, the Bank clerk has the borrower agree to pay back the loan plus interest. At 14% interest for 30 years, the Borrower must agree to pay $710.92 per month for a total of $255,931.20. 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 $60,000 check or a $60,000 deposit slip crediting the Borrower's checking account with $60,000.
The Borrower then writes checks to the builder, subcontractors, etc., who in turn write checks. $60,000 of new "checkbook" money is thereby added to "money in circulation."
However, and this is the fatal flaw in a usury system, the only new money created and put into circulation is the amount of the loan, $60,000. 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 $255,931, almost $200,000 MORE than he put IN CIRCULATION when he borrowed the original $60,000! (By the way, it is this interest which cheats all families out of nicer homes. It is not that they can't afford them; it is because the Banker's usury forces them to pay for 4 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 principal 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, slowly, then more rapidly, gain a death grip on the land, buildings, and present and future earnings of the whole working population.

SMALL LOANS DO THE SAME THING
If you haven't quite grasped the impact of the above, let us consider a small auto loan for 3 years at 18% interest. Step 1: Citizen borrows $5,000 and pays it into circulation (it goes to the dealer, factory, miner, etc.) and signs a note agreeing to pay the Banker $6,500. Step 2: Citizen pays $180 per month of his earnings to the Banker. In 3 years he will take OUT of circulation $1,500 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 some Banker. The usury-tribute to the Bankers on personal, local, State and Federal debt totals more than the combined earnings of 25% of the working people. Soon it will be 50% and continue up.

THIS IS WHY BANKERS PROSPER IN GOOD TIMES OR BAD
In the millions of transactions made each year like those above, little actual currency changes hands, nor is it necessary that it do so. 95% of all "cash" transactions in the U.S. are by check, so the Banker is perfectly safe in "creating" 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 in salaries and office costs for each transaction. It is "check-kiting" on an enormous scale. The profits increase rapidly, year after year, as shown below.

These are a few taken from newspapers in 2009.
  • Goldman Sachs says pay and profit in 2009 up sharply
  • On Thursday, JPMorgan Chase became the latest big bank to announce stellar second-quarter earnings. Its $2.7 billion profit, after record gains for Goldman Sachs, underscores how the government’s effort to halt a collapse has also set the stage for a narrowing concentration of financial power.
  • Bank of America Earns $3.2 Billion in Second Quarter
  • Bank of America profits soar
  • The bank based in Charlotte, North Carolina, said its 2009 first-quarter results include Merrill Lynch, which it acquired on January 1, and mortgage lender Countrywide Financial, which was purchased on July 1, 2008.

    Merrill Lynch contributed 3.7 billion dollars to net income, excluding certain merger costs, "on strong capital markets revenue," Bank of America said.

These are a few taken from Arizona newspapers in 1979.
  • Valley Bank posts 49% gain in profits
  • Gains of 49 percent in net income and 51 percent in operating income were posted last year by Valley National Bank.
  • Those gains brought net income to $33,969,-000' in the year ended Dec..31 and operating income to $34,459.000. The year before those totals were $22,836.000 and $22,807,000 respectively.
  • Bank's profits rise 21%
    Arizona Bank announced on Monday it had achieved a 21.2 percent increase in net income in 1978 over 1977. On the basis of operating income, excluding the 1977 sale of the Arizona Bank Building for $l,336,369, the bank said the increase was 43.9 percent.
  • Tostenrud said loans and deposits increased in the last year: Deposits 18.8 percent to $1.353 billion and loans 21.9 percent to $951 million.

THE COST TO YOU? EVENTUALLY, EVERYTHING!
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 6 years of Federal Reserve shenanigans, the Federal debt had jumped to $24 billion, or $226 per person.
In 1960 the Federal debt reached $284 billion, or $1,575 per citizen and State and local debts were mushrooming.
By 1981 the Federal debt passed $1 trillion and was growing exponentially as the Banker's tripled the interest rates. State and local debts are now MORE than the Federal, and with business and personal debts totaled over $6 trillion, 3 times the value of all land and buildings in America.
If we signed over to the money-leaders all of America we would still owe them 2 more Americas (plus their usury, of course!)
However, they are too cunning to take title to everything. They will instead leave you 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 system of usury and debt as certainly as if they had marched in with a uniformed army.

FOR THE GAMBLERS AMONG MY READERS
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, but watches the table and every hour reaches in and takes 10% to 15% of all the chips on the table. As the game goes on, the amount of chips in the possession of each player will go up and down with his "luck."
However, the TOTAL number of chips available to play the game (carry on trade and business) will decrease rapidly.
The game will get low on chips, and some will run out. If they want to continue to play, they must buy or borrow them 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 of the chips plus some EXTRA ones (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, rings, and the shirts off their backs!
Our real-life situation is MUCH WORSE than any poker game. In a poker game none is forced to go into debt AT INTEREST, and anyone can quit at any time and keep whatever he still has. But in real life, even if we borrow little ourselves at interest from the Bankers, the local, State, and Federal governments borrow billions in our name, squander it, then confiscate our earnings from us and pay it back to 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 pay, the same 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 and at other gambling centers, 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 added real "cards" to their 'game. "Credit" cards are promoted as a convenience and a great boon to trade. Actually, they are ingenious devices by which Bankers collect 2% to 5% of every retail sale from the seller and 18% interest from buyers. A real "stacked" deck!

YES, IT'S POLITICAL, TOO!
Democrat, Republican, and Independent voters who have wondered why politicians always spend more tax money than they take in should now see the reason. When they begin to study our "debt at interest-money" system, they soon realize that these politicians are not the agents of the people but are the agents of the Bankers, for whom they plan ways to place the people further-in debt. It takes only a little imagination to see that if Congress had been "creating," and spending or issuing into circulation the necessary increase in the money supply, THERE WOULD BE NO EVER MULITPLYING NATIONAL DEBT BY INTEREST, and the over $4 Trillion of other debts would be practically non-existent. Since there would be no ORIGINAL cost of money except printing, and no CONTINUING costs such as interest, Federal taxes would be almost nil. Money, once in circulation FREE OF INTEREST, would remain it´s purchasing power and go on serving its purpose as a medium of exchange for generation after generation and century after century, just as coins do now, with NO payments to the Bankers whatever!

MOUNTING DEBTS AND WARS
But instead of peace and debt at interest-free prosperity, we have ever-mounting debt through INTEREST and periodic wars. We as a people are now ruled by a system of Banker-owned Mammon that has usurped the mantle of government, disguised itself as our legitimate government, and set about to pauperize and control our people. It is now a centralized, all-powerful political apparatus whose main purposes are promoting war, spending the peoples' money, and propagandizing to perpetuate itself in power. Our two large political parties have become its servants, the various departments of government its spending agencies, and the Internal Revenue its collection agency.
Unknown to the people, it operates in close cooperation with similar apparatuses in other nations. which are also disguised as "governments." Some, we are told, are friends. Some, we are told, are enemies. "Enemies" are built up through international manipulations and used to frighten the American people into going billions of dollars more into debt to the Bankers for "military preparedness," "foreign aid to stop communism," "minority rights," etc. Citizens, deliberately confused by brainwashing propaganda, watch helplessly while our politicians give our food, goods, and money to Banker-controlled alien governments under the guise of "better relations" and "easing tensions." Our Banker-controlled government takes our finest and bravest sons and sends them into foreign wars with obsolete equipment and inadequate training, where tens of thousands are murdered, and hundreds of thousands are crippled. Other thousands are morally corrupted, addicted to drugs, and infected with venereal and other diseases, which they bring back to the United States. When the "war" is over, we have gained nothing, but we are scores of billions of dollars more in debt to the Bankers, which was the reason for the "war" in the first place!

BUT WAIT... THERE'S STILL MORE
The profits from these massive debts have been used to erect a complete and almost hidden economic and political colossus over our nation. They keep telling us they are trying to do us "good," when in truth they work to bring harm and injury to our people. These would-be despots know it is easier to control and rob an ill, poorly-educated and confused people than it is a healthy and intelligent population, so they deliberately prevent real cures for diseases, they degrade our educational systems, and they stir up social and racial unrest. For the same reason they favor drug use, alcohol, sexual promiscuity, abortion, pornography, and crime. Everything which debilitates the minds and bodies of the people is secretly encouraged, as it makes the people less able to oppose them or even to understand what is being done to them.
Family, morals, love of Country, religion, all that is honorable is being swept away, while they try to build their new, subservient man. Our new "rulers" are trying to change our whole racial, social, religious, and political order, but they will not change the debt-money economic system by which they rob and rule. Our people have become tenants and "debt AT INTEREST-slaves" to the Bankers and their agents in the land our fathers conquered. It is conquest through the most gigantic fraud and swindle in the history of mankind. And we remind you again: The key to their wealth and power over us is their ability to create "money" out of nothing and lend it to us at interest. If they had not been allowed to do that, they would never have gained secret control of our nation. "The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender".
Let us now consider the correct method of providing the medium of exchange (money) needed by our people.

MONEY NEEDS TO BE ISSUED AS DEBT (to be able to retire it again) BUT FREE OF INTEREST
History tells us of debt-free and interest-free money issued by governments. The American colonies did it in the 1700's and their wealth soon rivaled England and brought restrictions from Parliament, which led to the Revolutionary War. Abraham Lincoln did it in 1863 to help finance the Civil War. He was later assassinated by an agent of the Rothschild Bank. No debt-free or interest-free money has been issued in America since then. Several Arab nations issue interest-free loans to their citizens today. The Saracen Empire for bad interest on money for 1,000 years, and its wealth outshone even Saxon Europe. Mandarin China issued its own money, interest-free and debt-free, and historians and collectors of art today consider those centuries to be China's time of greatest wealth, culture and peace.
Germany issued debt-free and interest-free money from 1935 and on, accounting for its startling rise from the depression to a world power in 5 years. Germany financed its entire government and war operation from 1935 to 1945 without debt, and it took the whole Capitalist and Communist world to destroy the German power over Europe and bring Europe back under the heel of the Bankers. Such history of money does not even appear in the textbooks of public (government) schools today.
Issuing money which doesn't have to be paid back in interest leaves the money available to use in the exchange of goods and services and its only continuing cost is replacement as the paper wears out. Money is the paper ticket by which such transfers are made and should always be in sufficient quantity to transfer all possible production of the nation to ultimate consumers.
It is as ridiculous for a nation to say to its citizens, "You must consume less because we are short of money," as it would be for an Airline to say "Our planes are flying, but we can't take you because we are short of tickets."

NO MORE BANKERS' PLUNDER
Under the present debt-usury system, the extra burden of usury forces workers and businesses to demand more money for the work and goods to pay their ever-increasing debts and taxes. This increase in prices and wages is called "inflation." Bankers, politicians and "economists" blame it on everything but the real cause, which is the usury levied on money and debt by the Bankers. This "inflation" benefits the money-lenders, since it wipes out savings of one generation so they cannot finance or help the next generation, who must then borrow from the money-lenders, and pay a large part of their life's labor to the usurer.
With an adequate supply of interest-free money, little borrowing would be required and prices would be established by people and goods, not by debts and usury.

CITIZEN CONTROL
If the Federal Congress failed to act, or acted wrongly, in the supply of money, the citizens would use the ballot or recall petition to replace those who prevented correct action with others whom the people believe would pursue a better money policy. Since the creation of money and its issuance in sufficient quantity would be one of the few functions of Congress, the voter could decide on a candidate by his stand on money, instead of the hundreds of lesser, and deliberately confusing, subjects which are presented to us today. And since money is, and would remain, a national function, local differences or local factions would not be able to sway the people from the nation's (citizens') interest. All other problems, except the nation's defense, would be taken care of in the State, County, or City governments where they are best handled and most easily corrected.
An adequate national defense would be provided by the same citizen-controlled Congress, and there would be no Bankers behind the scenes, bribing politicians to give $200 billion of American military equipment to other nations, disarming us, while alien nations prepare to attack and invade the United States of America.

AN INTEREST-FREE AMERICA
With interest-free money, there would be no high and confiscatory taxation, our homes would be mortgage free with no $10,000-a-year payments to the Bankers, nor would they get $1,000 to $2,500 per year from every automobile on our roads. We would need no "easy payment" plans, "revolving" charge accounts, loans to pay medical or hospital bills, loans to pay taxes, loans to pay for burials, loans to pay loans, nor any of the thousand and one usury-bearing loans which now suck the life-blood of American families. There would be no unemployment, divorces caused by debt, destitute old people, or mounting crime, and even the so-called "deprived" classes would be deprived of neither job nor money to buy the necessities of life.
Criminals could not become politicians, nor would politicians become criminals in the pay of the Money-lenders. Our officials, at all government levels, would be working for the people instead of devising means to spend more money to place us further in debt to the Bankers. We would get out of the entangling foreign alliances that have engulfed us in four major wars and scores of minor wars since the Federal Reserve Act was passed, alliances which are now used to prevent America from preparing her own defense in the face of mounting danger from alien powers.
An interest free America would mean mothers would not have to work. With mother at home, juvenile delinquency would decrease rapidly. The elimination of the usury would be the equivalent of a 50% raise in the purchasing power of every worker. With this cancellation most of all debts by reimbursing all the interest paid, the return to the people of all the property and wealth the parasitic Bankers and their quasi-legal agents have stolen by usury and fraud, and the ending of their theft of $300 Billion (or more) every year from the people, America would be prosperous and powerful beyond the wildest dreams of its citizens today. And we would be at peace!

WHY YOU HAVEN'T KNOWN
We realize this small, and necessarily incomplete, article on money may be charged with oversimplification. Some may say that if it is that simple the people would have known about it, and it could not have happened. But this MONEY-LENDERS' consPIRACY is as old as Babylon, and even in America it dates far back before the year 1913. Actually, 1913 may be considered the year in which their previous plans came to fruition, and the way opened for complete economic conquest of our people. The consPIRACY is old enough in America so that its agents have been, for many years, in positions such as newspaper publishers, editors, columnists, church ministers, university presidents, professors, textbook writers, labor union leaders, movie makers, radio and TV commentators, politicians from school board members to U.S. presidents, and many others.

CONTROLLED NEWS AND INFORMATION
These agents control the information available to our people. They manipulate public opinion, elect whom they will locally and nationally, and never expose the crooked money system. They promote school bonds, municipal bonds, expensive and detrimental farm programs, "urban renewal," foreign aid, and many other schemes which will put the people more into debt to the Bankers. Thoughtful citizens wonder why billions are spent on one program and billions on another which may duplicate it or even nullify it, such as paying some farmers not to raise crops, while at the same time building dams or canals to irrigate more farm land. Crazy or stupid? Neither. The goal is more debt. Thousand of government-sponsored ways to waste money go on continually. Most make no sense, but they are never exposed for what they really are, builders of "billions for the bankers and debts for the people."
So-called "economic experts" write syndicated columns in hundreds of newspapers, craftily designed to prevent the people from learning the simple truth about our money system. Commentators on radio and TV, preachers, educators, and politicians blame the people as wasteful, lazy, or, spend-thrift, and blame the workers, and consumers for the increase in debts and the inflation of prices, when they know the cause is the debt-money system itself. Our people are literally drowned in charges and counter-charges designed to confuse them and keep them from understanding the unconstitutional and evil money-system that is so efficiently and silently robbing the farmers, the workers, and the businessmen of the fruits of their labors and of their freedoms.
When some few Patriotic people or organizations who know the truth begin to expose them or try to stop any of their mad schemes, they are ridiculed and smeared as "right-wing extremists," "super-patriots," "ultra-rightists," "bigots," "racists," even "fascists" and "anti-Semites." Any name is used which will cause them to shut up or will at least stop other people from listening to the warning they are giving. Articles and books such as you are now reading are kept out of schools, libraries, and book stores.
Some, who are especially vocal in their exposure of the treason against our people, are harassed by government agencies such as the EPA, OSHA, the IRS, and others, causing them financial loss or bankruptcy. Using the above methods, they have been completely successful in preventing most Americans from learning the things you have read in this pamphlet. However, in spite of their control of information, they realize many citizens are learning the truth. Therefore, to prevent violence or armed resistance to their plunder of America, they plan to register all firearms and eventually to disarm all citizens. They have to eliminate most guns, except those in the hands of their government police and army.

TELL THE PEOPLE
The "almost hidden" conspirators in politics, religion, education, entertainment, and the news media are working for a Banker-owned United States in a Banker-owned world under a Banker-owned World Governments!
Love of Country and concern for your children should make you deeply interested in this, America's greatest problem, for our generation has not suffered under the "yoke" as the coming generations will. Usury and taxes will continue to take a larger and larger part of the annual earnings of the people and put them into the pockets of the Bankers and their political Agents. Increasing "government" regulations will prevent citizen protest and opposition to their control. Is it possible that your grandchildren will own neither home nor car, but will live in "government-owned" apartments and ride to work in "government-owned" buses (both paying usury to the Bankers), AND BE ALLOWED TO KEEP JUST ENOUGH OF THEIR EARNINGS TO BUY A MINIMUM OF FOOD AND CLOTHING while their Rulers wallow in luxury? In Asia and eastern Europe it is called "communism;" in America it is called "Democracy" and "Capitalism."
America will not shake off her Banker-controlled dictatorship as long as the people are ignorant of the hidden controllers. International financiers, who control most of the governments of the nations, and most sources of information, seem to have us completely within their grasp. They are afraid of only one thing: an awakened Patriotic Citizenry, armed with the truth, and with a trust, in Almighty God for deliverance. This article has given you the truth about their iniquitous system. What you do with it is in your hands.

AUDIT THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM?
The Federal Reserve has never been audited by the government since it took over our money and credit in 1913. In 1975 a bill, H.R. 4316, to require an audit was introduced in Congress.
During the April, 1975 hearings, this author submitted a statement favoring the audit, as did many others. Due to pressure from the money controllers, it was not passed. No audit of the Fed has ever been made.

WHY HAVEN'T THEY TOLD YOU?
Why haven't they told you about this scandal - the greatest fraud in history which has caused Americans and others to spill oceans of blood, pay trillions of dollars interest on fraudulent loans and burden themselves with unnecessary taxes?
Who are "they"? "They" are most of the politicians of the two old parties and elected officials. Most "educational" groups like the League of Women Voters, the Heritage Foundation and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). All mainstream news services, such as the Associated Press and the United Press International. All mainstream daily newspapers, including the New York Times and Los Angeles Times. All mainstream weekly "news" magazines, such as "Time" and "Newsweek." All of the above and more have been hiding the truth from you.

SOLUTION (AND THERE IS ONLY ONE) The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand. Once you understand (MPE) supporting anything else is economic suicide!! The solution to your fate is Mathematically Perfected Economy, ....but will you listen?

WHAT SOME FAMOUS MEN HAVE SAID ABOUT THE MONEY QUESTION
ALAN GREENSPAN: "In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. ... This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard."


PRESIDENT THOMAS JEFFERSON: "The system of banking [is] a blot left in all our Constitutions, which, if not covered, will end in their destruction... I sincerely believe that banking institutions are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity... is but swindling futurity on a large scale."


PRESIDENT JAMES A. GARFIELD: "Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce".


CONGRESSMAN LOUIS McFADDEN: "The Federal Reserve(Banks) are one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever seen. There is not a man within the sound of my voice who does not know that this Nation is run by the International Bankers".


HORACE GREELEY: "While boasting of our noble deeds were careful to conceal the ugly fact that by an iniquitous money system we have nationalized a system of oppression which, though more refined, is not less cruel than the old system of chattel slavery.


THOMAS A. EDISON: "People who will not turn a shovel full of dirt on the project (Muscle Shoals Dam) nor contribute a pound of material, will collect more money from the United States than will the People who supply all the material and do all the work. This is the terrible thing about interest ...But here is the point: If the Nation can issue a dollar bond it can issue a dollar bill. The element that makes the bond good makes the bill good also. The difference between the bond and the bill is that the bond lets the money broker collect twice the amount of the bond and an additional 20%. Whereas the currency, the honest sort provided by the Constitution pays nobody but those who contribute in some useful way. It is absurd to say our Country can issue bonds and cannot issue currency. Both are promises to pay, but one fattens the usurer and the other helps the People."


PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON: "A great industrial Nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the Nation and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the world - no longer a Government of free opinion no longer a Government by conviction and vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men". (Just before he died, Wilson is reported to have stated to friends that he had been "deceived" and that "I have betrayed my Country". He referred to the Federal Reserve Act passed during his Presidency.)


SIR JOSIAH STAMP,(President of the Bank of England in the 1920's, the second richest man in Britain): "Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of Bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits".


MAJOR L .L. B. ANGUS: "The modern Banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banks can in fact inflate, mint and unmint the modern ledger-entry currency".


RALPH M. HAWTREY (Former Secretary of the British Treasury): "Banks lend by creating credit. They create the means of payment out of nothing".


ROBERT HEMPHILL (Credit Manager of Federal Reserve Bank, Atlanta, Ga.): "This is a staggering thought. We are completely dependent on the commercial Banks. Someone has to borrow every dollar we have in circulation, cash or credit. If the Banks create ample synthetic money we are prosperous; if not, we starve. We are absolutely without a permanent money system. When one gets a complete grasp of the picture, the tragic absurdity of our hopeless position is almost incredible, but there it is. It is the most important subject intelligent persons can investigate and reflect upon. It is so important that our present civilization may collapse unless it becomes widely understood and the defects remedied very soon".

What Will it Take

What will it take to have the people of the earth want to learn the truth of an economic system that must burden them with more debt? And what will it take for us to have the courage to act against it. Maybe it’s because we don’t actually see that we’re already drowning in debt that our interest is elsewhere. Maybe it’s just people’s nature to not worry too much about the rising water until they start having difficulty holding their head above it. I find it difficult to believe that we can’t see the problem.
Maybe it’s because we've all been so conditioned to having our government look after the farm that we just “have faith” that they’ll be able to remedy the problem – eventually. But doesn’t that fit into one of the many definitions of sanity?
 Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.  Albert Einstein
It seems to me that in Canada our Democracy, our “freedom”, is leading us down a path and that path is heading directly to socialism. I know we’re told that we have a free country. We can live anywhere we want. We can freely travel over 6.7% of the entire land area of the world; a whopping 9,984,670 square kilometers, 3,855,100 square miles. But are we really a free people?
The situation reminds me of stories we hear from time to time where some wealthy family has hired a financial advisor to look after their accounts while they take a world tour. As the family tours different parts of the world they become concerned only for the amount of pleasure that comes from their adventure.
Then one day as the family travels through some foreign land they present their credit card to pay for their hotel room for that night and the desk clerk informs them that the requested funds were not approved. Upon investigation they find that the advisor has lost most of their wealth. Devastated, they return home only to find that the situation is worse than originally thought. The Financial advisor has not only lost the wealth they had but has indebted the family to such a degree that they’ll be working for years just to get out of the hole that’s been dug for them.
Canada – this is exactly our position. For years we enjoyed our abundance all the while trusting some elected officials to take care of our accounts. And now we awake to the realization that somebody has squandered the homestead. It seems that we have accumulated such a debt that we’ll be working for generations to get out of the hole that’s been dug for us. The sad thing is that we’re prepared to put our faith in the same system that dug the hole.
Most of our elections have been more about getting rid of the bad than embracing the good. And when what seemed like the best of our options turns worse than their predecessor we again vote to get rid of the bad with the hope that the new will somehow be better; and again, and again… We keep repeating this process and expecting different results.
Maybe it’s not who, but what. Maybe the result would be the same no matter who we elected. Maybe we’re in a boat and we’ve been electing people to row it. The only thing these people need to do is keep the boat afloat and keep it heading in a forward direction. But now we’re starting to sense that something is wrong. Our boat seems to be floundering and riding lower in the water. Could we be sinking?
We check the bilge and find that even though the pumps are working the water is rising. The people who we’ve elected say that they’re working to get the situation under control and expect to remedy the problem soon. But as the water keeps rising we begin to worry. Finally someone says that they know what the problem is and if they only had the chance, they would put things back to normal in no time. So we get angry at those we judge as ineffective and place our hope in another. Time passes, and again, usually for similar reasons, we’re angry at that one and low and behold, when our anger starts to become apparent, a new upstart steps forward with assurances that they and their gang have the answer. And all this time the water’s rising.
After all these years we desperately wonder if anyone will ever be able to stem the leak. Everyone has failed so far so maybe we should look for the source of the problem – just what is leaking.
The water that’s filling the bilge in this simplified scenario represents the debt that is sinking our nation. In our scenario the water is entering the bilge. In our real world money is exiting our economy. Both slow things down and make movement difficult. No matter who we elect to fix the problem, the result is the same. Money exits and debt rises. Maybe we should find this mysterious black hole that keeps siphoning our money out of existence.    
I’ll tell you a secret. I’m pretty sure I know where the black hole is and how it’s creating our debt. Where is it? It’s in every bank and credit union in the land. How does it create debt? It takes more money out of our economy than is ever put into it. What’s it called? Its name is usury. Can we stop this loss? Yes we can.
But first we need to put ourselves back in school so to speak to learn how usury robs us. We cannot just accept someone’s word. That’s what got us here in the first place. An aid to this learning may be the formula for debt.
P – (P + I) = D
Principal minus (Principal plus Interest) equals Debt.
Usury demands that more money leaves the system than was originally brought into it. Debt must be the result of this insane system. Study the formula for debt at the following link.
Without your participation we are lost at sea.

Usury = Debt = Death

Did you hear?
  • Canadians' personal debt is rising. The ratio of household debt-to-disposable income reached the highest on record in the third quarter (2010) -- 148.1 per cent!

Did you hear?
  • Student loans close to $15 billion. Government expected that to occur in 2014-15.

Did you hear?
  • Prime Minister Stephen Harper said that the government is concerned about Canadians' personal debt levels, warning they could get hurt when interest rates eventually increase. He also said, "This is a matter that is of concern to the government. We continue to warn Canadian households that interest rates are unlikely to go down in the future. Obviously, we encourage Canadians to manage their affairs soundly." He also indicated that because you Canadians aren't doing a very good job controlling your purchasing the government may have to make it harder for you to get loans. See, I told you so. You children still need Papa Harper and Uncle Flaherty to look after you. Don't worry. Its not just you. You, me and most of the world have lost our sovereignty. The servants are in control of the castle and they don't want to give it back.

The following figures were taken from,  http://buttonwood.economist.com/content/gdc, at 11:13pm, December 13, 2010.

Did you hear?
  • Canada's total public debt stands at $1,265,669,863,014.00.
  • Canada's public debt per capita is $37,230.34.
  • Canada's public debt % of GDP is 82.3%
Lets see, what other good news can I pass on to you today? Oh yes. None of the above figures are going down anytime soon. In fact, they're on the rise.

The total global public debt stands at $40,822,562,948,243, (a Conservative figure). [And it's rising at a rate of $4,520,401 per minute, that's $271,224,060 per hour or $6.5 billion per day.] This means Canadians owe 3.1% of the total global debt. Not bad for a country that makes up 0.4% of the Global population. But that's good compared to Japan and the US. Between them they owe $20,071,090,136,896! That's 49.1% of the total global debt between two countries that make up only 6.3% of the total global population.

Usury = Debt
So where did all that debt come from? Usury.

Don't think so? Okay, do this, picture yourself a central bank in control of a country's money. You print the only money that will ever be used within that country. In the beginning there is no money circulating so people must borrow your money to start trade and commerce. With your borrowed money the economy starts to function. Let's assume that citizens, small businesses, corporations and governments of your country borrow $500 million at 5% interest. Note that the country had no money before the $500 million was borrowed and the $500 million was borrowed at 5% interest. This means that the original loan of $500 million plus $25 million interest must be repaid. As there is only the original 500 million  circulating within the economy where will the people get the $25 million to cover the interest to fulfill their obligation to you?

I hear some of the business leaders out there saying, "Well, the people could mine ore, make iron, steal and copper; they would grow grains and vegetables; they'll cut trees and make lumber and manufacture other products in such abundance that they would be able to sell the excess to other countries. By doing this they could  earned more than the amount owed to the central bank and would be able to repay the original 500 million loan and the 25 million interest. Not only that but they could become rich from the excess profits."

To that I say, that sounds wonderful, but have you considered where these other countries got the money that was used to pay for the products they purchased from your country? They too have borrowed all the money they have from a central bank at 5% interest. Actually, every country in the world has borrowed every dollar that circulates within their economy at interest from a central bank.

Now the countries that would purchase the products produced by your country would reduced their money supply by the amount used to purchase the said products. This set up a situation were these countries would not have enough to repay the total amount of their loans never mind the interest owed on these loans.

To this you may say that these countries would do the same as your country. They would manufacture products and market these to other countries to earn the necessary funds to repay loans and interest.

To this I must now say, impossible. Look at it this way, Let's assume that there are one hundred countries in the world and they have all borrowed $500 million to kick start their economy, That would mean that the total amount of money circulating in the world would be $50 trillion. The interest owed on the $50 trillion would be $2.5 trillion for a total amount owed back to the central bank of 52.5 trillion dollars. Notice that no matter how much trade and commerce is carried on with the available 50 trillion dollars no new money  is created. The only thing that happens is that the borrowed funds just get transferred from bank accounts in one country to bank accounts in another. When it came time to pay the loans there would still only be 50 trillion dollars in circulation; only enough to repay the original loan but not enough to cover the $2.5 trillion in interest charges. Some countries like yours may have enough to pay their loan plus interest but others would be short of funds and would have to carry a debt.

Central banks that lend money at interest rely on the citizens of the world to miss this important point. The existing money supply can never increase unless and until more money is borrowed. The widely accepted false perception is that money is somehow "made" by the labour of the people and the activity of industry, trade and commerce. Study this scenario well and it will eventually become clear that because every dollar within the world's economies is a borrowed dollar, the money supply can only increase if more money is borrowed. Usury on all these borrowed dollars demands that more dollars be repaid than will ever exist. Thus an ever increasing cycle of borrowing to cover the interest thereby creating more interest charges; borrowing to cover these new interest charges thereby creating more interest charges steadily and surely increases the total debt owed throughout the world. Once the first dollar is borrowed from a central bank at interest this cycle is unavoidable and an ever increasing debt due to un-payable interest charges is guaranteed.

Here is a simple formula to illustrate that fact. I call it the formula for debt.
P - (P + I) = D
Principal minus (Principle plus Interest) equal Debt.
All money circulating throughout the world has been borrowed, therefore all money is the Principal associated with central bank loans. As only the Principal exists Principle plus Interest can never be paid in full. The shortfall or the Debt will always equal the amount of the interest charged.
Debt = Death
So with an honest look at usury we can see it must end with an ever increasing un-payable debt. But how, you may ask, does this debt end in death? For that answer we don't have to look far.
Just look around the world and find the countries where poverty is rampant. You will see that these countries have few natural resources to sell; at least none that the rest of the world wants or which it doesn’t already have. These are countries that are so far in debt that most their money goes to service their debt with little left over even to produce food to feed the people. With poverty comes civil unrest and war which makes it difficult, if not impossible for farmer to safely grow food. With little food to feed the population hunger become prevalent. After prolonged periods of hunger and malnutrition the people become so weakened that even the effort of looking for food becomes to exhaustive. Soon starvation becomes widespread and as the rest of the world looks on children start dieing from starvation.
It’s estimated that in this world one child starves to death every two to three seconds. That works out to be about 1,500 children an hour, 36,000 children per day and over 13 million children a year. Virtually every one of these deaths is due to debt; a debt that can never be paid because more money is needed to pay the debt than there is money in existence. These children die because a world is stuck in a rut. A rut that says, “Just work hard and contribute to the economy. Work hard and create an abundant life for yourself and your family. Work hard, earn money and enjoy your life. You deserve it.”
I would never say some one’s hard work should not result in an abundant life. I would say that under the present economic system it’s not possible for all to share in that abundance. At first only a few suffered. But that is not the case today. What will it take for you to take the time to understand what a few people have been saying for so long. Usury of any kind guarantees a global debt. Global debt guarantees the starvation death of over 13 million children a year.
I tell you this. Until the people of this world wake up to the fact that their blind participation in an unjust system of usury is causing these problems, the number of unemployed, homeless, hungry and dieing will continue to rise. Please take the time to learn the truth of the consequences of your action. So many children are depending on you.
