Where Does the Money Come From?

[Steve Gardner]

The one question nobody asks. And the one driving force that more than anything else defines the sad state of the world today. Most people think our governments simply print more money as the economy grows. For every question, there is a lie. For every lie, there is a truth. For every truth, there is a way. And for every way, there is a time.

The sad fact is, nobody (apart from a very few) knows where the money actually comes from.

But there are a few things that we do know. We know that the money supply has been increasing world-wide at around 7.5% per year. We know that local governments do not create any of this new money. We know that all new money is issued by the banking system as interest-bearing debt.

This truly is a curious state of affairs. Someone somewhere is creating all this new money out of thin air and selling it to us through the banks at high interest. We don’t know who they are. We don’t know if they are interested in our well-being. We don’t know if they give a hoot for our children. They might even be aliens bent on taking over the earth, for all we know. And whether they are aliens or not, that is exactly what they are doing.

Trillions of dollars worth of new debt is created each year around the world. All this debt is sold through the banks at high interest, in exchange for negotiable securities like mortgages, debentures, personal guarantees and the like. All this new money originates from outside our governments’ sovereignty and control. It may all originate in cyberspace. And no one has any means of tracing it to its source.

And yet year after year, governments everywhere continue to play this rigged game; a game in which someone high up in the world banking system always wins and the borrowers always lose. And it is government itself (ignorantly perhaps) that continues to deal these winning hands to the bankers.

All new money enters the system as interest-bearing debt. So the first prerequisite of new money issue is demand. There must be a willing borrower. Now ever since “money” was invented, there’s never been enough of the stuff. Very early on, a few wily goldsmiths/bankers cottoned on to the Fractional Reserve System, whereby paper notes purportedly representing real gold were seen to require only a fraction of their value in gold deposits. This allowed them to begin multiplying their own “paper” money many times greater than their actual resource backing.

When Kings and Princes began borrowing this dubious new money, the stage was set for the present highly questionable tax system to take root. As governments were forced to repay debt on money that was actually created out of thin air by the bankers, they begin to rely more and more on tax payments from their subjects as a way to repay debt. Thus taxes were not designed to fund services. Rather, they were designed to service debt.

Which brings us to our present state of affairs, whereby taxes have little or nothing to do with “funding” government services; except by an illusionary connection. The only thing that can fund government in a sustainable sense is an actual surplus created in private sector commerce. And even on the face of it, punitive income taxes destroy private incentive to produce, create, save and invest. Thus the only connection is a reverse one. In other words taxation destroys the sustainable government funding base rather than supplying it.

So there you have it. Taxes create a shortage of wealth and money in the private sector, forcing individuals and businesses to borrow from the banks to replace that “stolen” by government taxes and government incompetence.

Local banks use our security documents to create mortgage bonds and other financial instruments through which they can borrow amounts far in excess of their actual deposit holdings from “offshore” sources. It is these offshore entities who actually create our “new” money (the new money we have been forced to borrow through taxation) out of thin air.

Once our loans have been repaid, the local banks are able to profit on the interest differences times ten or more, giving them plenty of incentive to keep quiet and keep the present system going.

But the real power rests with those anonymous individuals in cyberspace who create all this new money out of thin air. Once their loans are repaid (by the local banks), this new money is beautifully “laundered” allowing them to then purchase controlling interests in all the most profitable multinational businesses including strategic infrastructure, pharmaceuticals, petro-chemicals, telecommunications, transportation, armaments, and of course the media. And that’s precisely why you have never heard this before.

There’s more.

We know that the world economy has been expanding at around 3.5%-4% per year, and that average inflation rates are roughly similar. So, not only are these offshore bankers creating new money (7.5% per year) against a growing wealth base (3.5% per year), they are also creating money for pure consumption, enslaving consumers with debt, and forcing our hard earned money to lose its value at a rate of around 4% per year. This is like pouring salt into a wound. Petty pick-pocket theft after the bankers have already ransacked our homes.

There’s still more.

We know by reading the history books that early Kings and Princes borrowed from the money lenders to conduct exploration, colonization, and war. Today, governments are still trying to colonize and take over others’ territories, or are trying to take back what has been lost. And of course there is the ongoing competition for what appears to be scarce world oil reserves.

So, whenever there is a new challenge or a new opportunity for government to colonize, or to overcome some challenge, taxes inevitably go up. And this plays right into the hands of the money lenders, as it always has. Throughout history this has lead to an ongoing temptation for the moneylenders to create havoc and mayhem at every opportunity. Taxes and/or government borrowing inevitably follow; gifting the money lenders yet more opportunity to create cash out of thin air, and steal more precious ownership rights from we mere mortals through debt slavery and inflation.

Anyone who has seriously studied history will see the bankers’ threads woven ‘round and through; including the Russian Revolution, World War 1, Hitler’s rise to power, the Second World War, the establishment of Israel, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, “Desert Storm”, and the coming war with Iran.

Throughout history assassinations and “False flag” operations undertaken by “anonymous” individuals have signaled more warfare, more death, more destruction, and more taxes; and more profit for the bankers. Even 9-11 bears all the trademarks of conspiracy. Could all this be by the hidden hand of the bankers? If it is, it’s all because of taxes.

We really have only two choices.

First, turn a blind eye until the bankers own everything and control a one world dictatorship in which we will be mere wage slaves.

Or end all taxation and empower our own governments with the right to create new interest-free money proportional with the growing economy.

Your choice. It’s really not that difficult to choose, is it?

Make the right choice, and start asking everyone you know that one all-important question:

"Where does the money come from in the first place?”

Now this is not a new phenomena. Remember the bit about Jesus driving the money lenders out of the temple? They were creating money out of thin air and "selling" it to the innocents at exhorbitant rates.

Religion, of whatever color, has been a very effective front for those who hold the purse strings of power. There is an amazing movie available online that ties in religion, banking, and false flag operations very nicely. This is a "must see" movie that just may remove a few scales from your eyes.

This topic is what currently interests me more than any other topic. Is it possible that international bankers lend money to governments that they print out of nothing, and we poor people pay for it through our taxes? Sounds too simple to be true, and yet.... I have seen the video "The Money Masters - How International Bankers Gained Control of America", and it's not only America they have control of, by the sounds of it. I understand how Fractional Reserve Banking (FRB) works, and quite frankly, I see it as being legalised fraud. Now, perhaps it could be argued that FRB is necessary if we want to create the situation where budding entrepeneurs can start up new businesses. Clearly a bank cannot make money from just selling loans at 6% and providing 4% on savings accounts - the 2% difference would perhaps not cover their costs, but that's perhaps another argument. However, in the example I have given with FRB they are currently making 60% on loans and paying out 4% on savings, due to the fact that they can loan out 10 times the amount that they possess in reserve (assuming the law requires banks to keep 10% in reserve). This seems to me to be an incredible amount, and perhaps why banks are so rich. And who is behind the banks? The argument for this system is that budding Entrepeneurs need to borrow if they are to start-up business - remove this possibility and we could find ourselves in a depression.

Now onto the point made that for there to be an increase in the amount of money in the economy, bankers adjust their accounts and then lend this “money” to governments who must then tax their people to repay those loans. This is key to the whole argument in my opinion, on whether or not there is a conspiracy. This part of the chain I don’t fully understand. If I’m not mistaken it works like this:

Government needs more money (e.g. to fund war on terror). Government prints bonds through its treasury and sells those bonds on the market, putting itself into debt. Most of these bonds are purchased by the banks, which then use those bonds as securities, or reserves, to which they can lend money to the public. Using FRB they then make a hell of a lot of money! The government must eventually pay back on the bonds, and so of course taxation is used to do that. Of course, people like you or me can buy those government bonds too, but we are small fry compared to the take-up rate of the bankers. Steve, do you think this is a fair reflection of what is going on? If not, then I need to understand it a little better.

We know that the Federal Reserve is a private entity in the US. The Bank of England is supposedly back in the hands of the government, isn’t it? I wonder if anything changes with this? As far as I can see, the reason Central Banks were required, looking at it from the point of view of a conspiracy, is because FRB requires some entity to bail out a bank when the loans given out do not result in an equivalent portion of funds coming back into the bank – hence it over-extends itself and needs to be either bailed out, or temporarily loaned money at a low rate by the central bank until it is able to balance again. If there were no Central Banks, then high-street banks could not use FRB.

This topic really interests me a lot, more than any other at the present time, more than 9/11. Because I have a feeling that international bankers own just about everything, one way or another, and use that power to influence corporations. These people own the coporations which own the media and government officials, and as a result we find ourselves in wars that are based on lies, and probably false flag events like 9/11.

It is clear that in the US, the whole political process is bought. Only a blind-man would fail to see that. But what about the UK? Does Gordon Brown really know how the banking system works? Is the Tory/Labour party competition also a sham? Considering how similar they are these days, perhaps so.

And then we have Bildeburg. How our government ministers can think it’s OK to rub shoulders with the International bankers, Corporate Tycoons & Media Tycoons in a private conference once every year smacks or complete arrogance that they are way-beyond ever being accountable.

I don't understand it either. And I guess this applies to all but a very, very small handful of people.

Here's one who did understand it, and whose descendants most certainly do:

"Permit me to issue and control the money of the nation and I care not who makes its laws" Mayer Amsched Rothchild, a prominent European banker in the eighteenth century

And here's a few more.

"If the American people ever allow the banks to control issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers occupied" — Thomas Jefferson

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies" — Thomas Jefferson

"The One World Government leaders and their ever close bankers have now acquired full control of the money and credit machinery of the U.S. via the creation of the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank" — Curtis Dall (Franklin D. Roosevelt’s son-in-law), My Exploited Father-in-Law

"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the Field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it" — President Woodrow Wilson, 1913

"We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. We are no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominate men. I have unwittingly betrayed my country" — President Woodrow Wilson, 1916

"This Federal Reserve Act establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President (Wilson) signs this bill the invisible government of the Monetary Power will be legalized" — Hon. Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr., Dec. 23, 1913

And perhaps the mosts sinister of all...

"We shall have world government whether or not you like it by conquest or consent" — James Warburg member Council on Foreign Relations speaking before Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 17th, l950

If you haven't already, John, take a look at Secrets of the Federal Reserve. You have to download the file in .doc format. It's a very long read, but packed full of information.

Interesting topic, I once heard that money is created in Sweden and then evenly 'given' among banks across the world.
The fact that bankers and owners of huge companies own the world reminds me of a theory, that is the exact thing but... It goes further, they are called(in this theory): The Patriots.
And they control far more then companies and banks.
They are the ones giving orders to the military(not just america or some ther land but in the intire world) and they give direct orders to the President of the United States Of America through the phone.
They are a small group of Bank owners, Large Global Companies and people in the politics.
That they were the ones who ordered the army to 'help' Irak, while it's just for the oil(like the whole world knows) and maybe more.
That theory is only whispered from person to person, it's said that those who believe in it and start to research into it, disappear or suddenly die of an 'heart attack' or some unidentified 'virus'.

I have heard something similar, with the group variously being called Illuminati or The Bilderberg Group.

Also, have you ever heard or read about the Skull & Bones society?

There is no question, in my mind, that leaders such as George Bush and Gordon Brown are 'puppets' to the extent that they have little or no control over policy direction.

You're right about Iraq too, in my view. It's all about stealing their resources.

[Mickcy]

I actually found that information also in a GAME.
Almost the same.
Metal Gear Solid: Substance(for the Xbox)
If you follow the storyline you will find that out.
Some is fiction but some stuff are also probabley true.
Never heard of the Skull & Bones society, I'll search it up, just searched it up.
Lol, I think I once saw a movie about it.
It was intersting, but I had to look further then just the regular storyline of the movie to get information out of it.
It's sad that freedom has long gone been lost, small chance to get it back, and even if we do get it back.
At some point it will be taken away, yet again.
We are just pawns in a game of chess, but then on a larger scale.(think universal)

[Steve Gardner]

Out of interest, here's a post I made in another forum back in January this year. It's kind of long and meandering and has little to do with the OP. But it talks a little about Bush and his membership of the secret Skull & Bones society.

If you're interested in this, and want the links, let me know and I'll dig the out.

Schmitt, Strauss, God, Occultism And George Bush

I’ve been reading about two philosophers who are said to been influential in shaping the views of the so-called Neo-cons. Their names are Carl Schmitt and Leo Strauss.

Despite Schmitt being pro-Nazi, and Strauss a Jew, the two had some common ground. In his book, ‘In The Concept of the Political’, Schmitt wrote about the duality of human endeavour. He saw morality as a battle between right and wrong; aesthetics as the battle between beauty and ugliness; and economics as the battle between profit and loss. Politics, however, had a different dynamic; it was the battle between friend and enemy. Whereas other forms of endeavour revolved around competition, politics demanded annihilation.

In the book, Schmitt writes:

The political is the most intense and extreme antagonism. War is the most violent form that politics takes, but, even short of war, politics still requires that you treat your opposition as antagonistic to everything in which you believe. It's not personal; you don't have to hate your enemy. But you do have to be prepared to vanquish him if necessary.

In a letter to Schmitt, Strauss shows he agrees.

The ultimate foundation of the Right is the principle of the natural evil of man; because man is by nature evil, he therefore needs dominion. But dominion can be established, that is, men can be unified, only in a unity against - against other men. Every association of men is necessarily a separation from other men. The tendency to separate (and therewith the grouping of humanity into friends and enemies) is given with human nature; it is in this sense destiny, period.

Strauss himself was well known for his views on Esotericism. Esoteric knowledge is either specialist in nature, or should be known only to those in a select group or enlightened inner circle. Esotericism, as a philosophy, is more often associated with the latter, where initiates into the inner circle are tested before having the higher truths revealed to them. The ‘Straussian Text’ is one manifestation of esotericism.

Strauss believed that America’s increasingly Liberal attitude was decadent and tended towards societal nihilism. He argued in favour of classical political philosophies, such as those outlined by Plato in ‘The Republic’, but feared that society was incapable of accepting the ‘ugly truths’ inherent in such a system. He nonetheless thought it was incumbent upon "wise men" to promote such a system and that, in order to avoid revealing their agenda, they were morally obligated to tell ‘noble lies’ to protect themselves and their policies. To that end, Strauss advocated the writing of political texts that were “deliberately written so that the average reader will understand it as saying one ("exoteric") thing but the special few for whom it is intended will grasp its real ("esoteric") meaning.”

After reading George Bush’s January 10th Address to the nation, I couldn’t help wondering whether I was reading a Straussian text. The quote that first got my attention was this:

“We go forward with trust that the Author of Liberty will guide us through these trying hours.”

This is the second time Bush has used this term. In his 2nd inauguration speech in 2005, he said:

“History has an ebb and flow of justice, but history also has a visible direction, set by liberty and the Author of Liberty.”

Bush's speeches are littered with biblical references. They appear at first glance to position him as a born again Christian.

BUSH: “Freedom is the permanent hope of mankind, the hunger in dark places, the longing of the soul.”

BIBLE: Psalm 107. “He satisfieth the longing soul and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. Such as sit in darkness.”


BUSH: "When we see that wounded traveler on the road to Jericho, we will not pass to the other side."

BIBLE: Luke 10:31 “And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.”


BUSH: “Now it is the urgent requirement of our nation’s security and the calling of our time.”

BIBLE: Philippians 3:14 “… the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”


BUSH: “Americans move forward in every generation by reaffirming all that is good and true that came before: ideals of justice and conduct that are the same yesterday, today and forever.”

BIBLE: Hebrews 13: 8 “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever.”


BUSH: “America, in this young century, proclaims liberty throughout all the world and to all the inhabitants thereof.”

BIBLE: Leviticus 25:10 “And ye shall…proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof…”

There are plenty more where that came from. Taken collectively, it seems that Bush is couching the civic values of freedom, liberty and justice in distinctly Christian terms. For example, where Bush speaks about freedom being the hope of mankind, he is echoing the bible’s assertion that Jesus is the hope of mankind. This challenge to the secular nature of the United States appears to be a Bush family trait.

George Bush Sr. had the following exchange in an interview with reporter Robert Sherman in the late 1980’s.

SHERMAN: “What will you do to win the votes of the Americans who are atheists?”

BUSH SR: “I guess I'm pretty weak in the atheist community. Faith in god is important to me.”

SHERMAN: “Surely you recognize the equal citizenship and patriotism of Americans who are atheists?”

BUSH SR: “No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God.”

Yikes!

Anyway, back to Bush Jnr. The one term I couldn’t find a biblical reference for was the one that first got my attention: ‘Author of Liberty’. And that’s because it’s not biblical. It turns out that the term is, or at least was, unique to a religious right textbook for home schooled children, entitled ‘America’s Providential History’, which was published in 1989. In it, the authors advocate reforming the US government into a one party theocracy, with political power to be held only by dominionist Christians, which flies directly in the face of the US Constitution. In that context, it appears Bush’s Straussian use of the term in his speech is designed to reach out to the religious adherents of dominionism.

From the book:

It must be added here that Christians need to be involved in both of the major political parties. The ultimate goal should be for enough Christians to become involved in both major parties so that eventually the candidates on the ballot in November are both of the type that fit into Biblical qualifications.

If Christians in every locality became a controlling influence in a political party after two years of serving there consistently, then every godly representative in the state legislatures and the Congress could be replaced within six years to work with a godly president.

If we work for more godly representatives in 2/3 of the state legislatures then we can bypass Congress and call a new Constitutional Convention to clean up all of the mess we have made of it in the past 200 years! Then with godly state legislatures, the odds are good that delegates appointed by them to a new Convention will be godly and wise as well.

And perhaps more worryingly:

Even if Christians manage to outnumber others on an issue and we sway our Congressman by sheer numbers, we end up in the dangerous promotion of democracy. We really do not want representatives who are swayed by majorities, but rather by correct principles.

So, what evidence is there that Bush (or his scriptwriters) are familiar with this textbook? Plenty. Consider the following:

BOOK: “God’s plan for the nations has been unfolding in a specific geographic direction. This geographical march of history is called the Chain of Christianity or the Chain of Liberty.”

BOOK: “Scripture defines God as the source of life...He is the author of liberty as well.”

BUSH: “History has an ebb and flow of justice, but history also has a visible direction, set by liberty and the Author of Liberty.”

Bush’s speeches are a bit of a catchall. One moment he’s speaking directly to Christian fundamentalists, the next to dominionists. At other times he’s speaking to all those who abide by some form of religious belief system. In so doing, Bush leaves his own religious beliefs a little unclear. What’s certain, however, is that Bush has (or at least, did have) a penchant for Occultism. This study of hidden wisdom or ‘Truth’ is where we once again find parallels with Strauss’ esotericism.

Yale University’s secret society, ‘The Order of the Skull and Bones’, was founded in 1832 by William Huntington Russell and Alphonso Taft. It was inspired by a society into which Russell had been initiated whilst studying in Germany. This super-elite, but not so secret, society has played host to some of America’s most prominent families who have since reached out into every corner of American society. These families are encouraged to intermarry in order to consolidate their influence.

New initiates are taken to the “tomb”, where they are sworn to silence. The initiation ceremony itself is said to involve ritualistic psychological conditioning and mud-wrestling. They are physically beaten in a process that symbolises their ‘death’ in the old world. They then lie naked in a coffin and masturbate whilst revealing their deepest sexual fantasies. After this ‘cleansing’ they are given robes and are anointed, an act that represent their re-birth. During initiation, they are also permitted to see the artefacts in the ‘tomb’. This includes Nazi memorabilia.

A rival society (The Order of File and Claw) broke into the ‘tomb’ on 29th September 1876. They found one of the lodge-rooms "fitted up in black velvet, even the walls being covered with the material." Upstairs, in lodge-room 322 (a number that is sacred to Bonesmen), "the 'sanctum sanctorium' of the temple [was] furnished in red velvet". There was also a pentagram on the wall. In the hall, they found "pictures of the founders of Bones at Yale, and of members of the Society in Germany, when the chapter was established here in 1832."

“On the west wall [of the parlour], hung among other pictures, an old engraving representing an open burial vault, in which, on a stone slab, rest four human skulls, grouped about a fools cap and bells, an open book, several mathematical instruments, a beggar's scrip, and a royal crown. On the arched wall above the vault are the explanatory words, in Roman letters, 'We War Der Thor, Wer Weiser, Wer Bettler Oder, Kaiser?' (Who was the fool, who the wise man, beggar or king?) and below the vault is engraved, in German characters, the sentence; 'Ob Arm, Ob Beich, im Tode gleich' (Whether poor or rich, all's the same in death).”

Initiates spend a year in this ‘tomb’ and develop an unwavering sense of loyalty to the Order and its agenda. This supersedes all other loyalties, whether to family, friends, country of God. Their purpose is to attain a prominent position in the world so that they might protect the Order’s status and ensure that, at any moment, Bonesmen may be called upon to do whatever needs to be done.

That Bush was a Bonesman is not in doubt: he said so in a February 2004 interview with Tim Russert.

RUSSERT: “You were both [referring to John Kerry] in Skull and Bones, the secret society.”

BUSH: “It's so secret we can't talk about it.”

I’ll leave you to contemplate Russert’s reply.

"What does that mean for America?"

[Mickcy]

Interesting, very interesting.
But its only stating that Bush is a member of Skull and Bones, the secret society, and nothing more.
Thats unfortunate, was the rest of it actually giving more information or just giving more facts to support that Bush is in Skull and Bones, the secret society?
If not, I'd love to read more, otherwise I'd like it if you told me abit what otherwise would be in it furthermore.

[Steve Gardner]

The sources I used in the article are basically supporting Bush's membership of the Order of the Skull & Bones - nothing more really.

However, it is widely believed that 'Bonesmen' are loyal first and foremost to 'Bonesmen'; that their agenda isn't driven by the good of the nation, but by the collective desires of the Order.

What worries people, I believe, is that 'Bonesmen' occupy some of the key positions in governemt and industry. As such, they are perfectly positioned to coordinate their efforts in pursuit of their agenda, and they can do so free of any checks and balances.

Of course, given the secrecy that surrounds the Order, it would be fair to say that we don't know how much of this is fact-based and how much is speculation/paranoia.

[Steve Gardner]

Out of interest, I'm in the process of importing a book into the Library, which has been moved to a newly created Resources category. It's called Final Warning: A History of the New World Order.

Naturally, it's a long read. I've only just started posting the book, which I'm going to do in chapters.

If you're interested and start reading through it at a faster rate than I'm importing it, there is a link to the original in the main post.
