Taking a Second Look

What is actually happening is that the bankers are refusing to continue lending us make-believe money and charging us usury-level  interest rates on the use of their illusion.   Let me say that again, this time in plain language.   

The financial industry is unique in that it's the only industry that has succeeded in lending/selling customers a non-existent product and charging its customers rent (interest) on the use of its product.   People won't rent make believe cars or make believe homes, or live in make-believe apartments.   But the banking system has succeeded in getting the public to pay for the use of make believe money.   

Money is supposed to be a convenient form of goods and services, but in the current monetary system, it's NOT!   The money the bankers have been loaning to people like you and me is not real money.  It's fake money.   They have legalized counterfeiting money, with themselves having exclusive access to the printing presses.   Do you recall the child's game called "Monopoly."   Well, the bankers have been lending you a glorified version of Monopoly money.   They call it fiat money.   

Borrowers are paying their hard-earned money (transferring some of their goods and services) to the super-wealthy money lenders  for the use of this non-existent (fiat)  money.   For a full explanation of this money machine and how it works, readers are directed to:

Here are some additional facts of financial life:

  Charging an excessive interest rate for the use of money is called "usury."  There was a time when charging any interest on the use of money was considered to be usury and immoral.   Today, the legal definition or usury is charging more that ten percent interest.

  The entire financial industry is based upon the lending of fiat (fake) money.   

  The credit system is held together only by beliefs and not by tangible assets.   

  Because of all the gross mismanagement on the part of the financial industry, the system has stopped working.    

  A great deal of  the media hype we are hearing bout the financial crisis is exaggerated propaganda designed to get the gullible to accept spending billion of taxpayer dollars bailing out the banks .    

  At this time, the bankers are refusing to lending money to the public until they are paid the money they lost in their wild speculations.   

  The super-wealthy control both the media and the government.   

  The public is not being given and the necessary information to make decisions that are in our own best interest.   (See the next section below.)

  The super-wealthy believe that we, the people, have no option but to cave in to their demands. 

  They are wrong.   There are viable alternatives and one overwhelming reason for accepting these alternatives.    (See the next section below.)
