Crime Against Humanity: “National”, “Federal”, “Central” Banking, 5

And now let’s look at the scene from the viewpoint of the citizen, from which one is likely to see only what is being put on the stage for one to see, and quite not what actually goes on behind the scenes – the same relationship as between a good−night fairy tale and an autopsy –: the government grants private banks the right to issue banknotes because they are backed up by gold; the banks own enough gold to back up the amount of banknotes issued; the banks have earned that gold as honestly as any other business has; the banks shall redeem these banknotes in gold at any time upon request, hence paper circulates instead of gold merely for your very convenience. Moreover, just as banks can, the government itself as well can issue banknotes backed up by the gold it has earned, and redeemable in it upon request. Everything squares.

But here the line of reasoning begins to dumb down, though: similarities are assumed where there are differences, separate things are identified as if they were the same thing. Authority, law, government, banks, money, money minting, money issuing, money loaning, all wrapped in a single cloud, maliciously blurred above the citizen’s head.

It is from this numb point of view that the absurd seems logical, that enormities go unnoticed. It takes learning to think like a stupid and then jump out of that stupidity to get it. Let’s keep it simple and restricted to the core, and here we go: Money is issued by banks, so it is “logical” that if the government too is to issue money it is supposed to have a bank to do so. Banks loan the money, so it is “logical” that the government bank is supposed to loan the money, too. What a nonsense.

Mints produce the money, not banks. If the government is to issue money, it has to have or hire a mint, not a bank. And guess who the government bank loans the money to? The government. What? The government loans the money to itself? Against collateral plus interest?
