Overflight, 10

“You shall not charge interest on loans to your brother, interest on money, interest on food, interest on anything that is lent for interest.”
“You may charge a foreigner interest, but you may not charge your brother interest, that the LORD your God may bless you in all that you undertake in the land that you are entering to take possession of it.”
“For the LORD your God will bless you, as he promised you, and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow, and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you.”
“The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender.”
Deuteronomy, 23 and 15; Proverbs, 22:7

“The verbal root NASHACH which is translated as "lending at interest" has as its first meanings, "bite, cause loss" (Etymological Dictionary of Biblical Hebrew …).”
Mauro Biglino

“The story of the Life of Christ shows that he loved ALL people except one particular group. He hated the money−lenders with an intensity that seems strange in a man of so mild a character. Jesus repeatedly admonished the money−lenders for their practice of usury. … He said they were of the Synagogue of Satan. … He emphatically expressed His extreme hatred of the money−lenders when he took a whip and drove them out of the Temple. He admonished them in these words: «This Temple was built as the house of God … But you have turned it into a den of thieves.» By performing this act of vengeance on the money−lenders Christ signed his own death warrant.”
William Guy Carr, Pawns in the Game

“Banks – The greatest fraud in human history.”
Anonymous

“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.”
Sir Josiah Stamp, in the 1920's the second wealth of England, President of British Railways, President of the Bank of England, speaking at the Commencement Address of the University of Texas in 1927, as quoted in Joaquin Bochaca, La finanza y el poder (Finance and Power)
