At this point in history virtually every human on this planet is
enslaved whether they know it or not. This is not the crude
and primitive slavery of ancient times, it does not rely on
whips and shackles to keep the oppressed in their place. These
tools have been rendered obsolete by much more sophisticated
methods.
That most of the enslaved are unaware of their condition and
would in fact argue fiercely that they are free is a testament
to the effectiveness of these invisible chains.
You’ve heard the expression “Money makes the world go
round”. There’s truth in that.
Money is the prime motive for human labor in modern
civilization. If you want food, shelter and clothing you must
have money, and unless you are part of the tiny minority who
have more money than they could ever spend in their lifetime,
then you must work, beg or steal for that money. That’s why
you get up in the morning to go to work even if you hate
your job, and that’s why the specter of unemployment is more
terrifying for most people than the prospect of spending 50
years of their life performing menial tasks within the confines
of a florescent lit cubicle.
Of course in western countries some are fortunate enough to
have pulled away from the brink and do not live in fear that
their basic needs will be met, at least for now, yet they keep
spinning the hamster wheel. Why? Because money and the bling
it buys have become symbols of status and prestige. Money
offers an illusory form of social validation, but even those
who are not caught up in distinguishing themselves by how
much they accumulate still must acknowledge the social stigma
that comes with poverty.
The combination of these primal motivators: the need for food,
shelter, clothing, and social validation, is a very powerful force.
It’s enough to drive humans to engage in all forms of activity,
even to the point of harming themselves or others in the
process. The accumulation of money is therefore an accumulation
of social and psychological power, and those who control the
creation of money control this power at its source.
So who controls the creation of money? Well in the case of
the U.S. dollar, it’s not the government. This shouldn’t be an
earth shattering revelation. The fact that the Federal Reserve is
a private institution owned by a cartel of the world’s most
powerful banks is quickly becoming common knowledge; even the
mainstream media doesn’t deny it at this point.
However the full extent of what this means is only clear when
you understand how the banking system really works, and
unfortunately this is something we aren’t taught in school. Once
you have it explained to you in simple terms you’ll understand
why.
Every dollar in circulation is loaned into existence by a bank.
The process begins with the Federal reserve when they loan out
money to the U.S. government and to other entities. You’ve
probably heard this talked about before, especially in regards to
the interest rate on these loans which the Federal Reserve
raises and lowers depending on economic conditions, but what
is never talked about in the mainstream is the fact that the Fed
isn’t actually loaning out money that they have, they are merely
typing those dollars into existence on a computer. You may be
inclined to believe that this money is based on some physical
backing like gold, but you would be mistaken. The Federal
Reserve hasn’t owned any gold since the 1930s.
When the Federal Reserve loans money to the U.S. government,
the U.S. government gives the Federal Reserve government
bonds in exchange. These bonds are simply written promises to
pay back the money that was loaned to them with interest
through taxation. So to be clear here, the government is taking
out a loan from a bank that is creating the money out of thin
air, and they’re expecting you the tax payer to cover that loan.
The absurdity of this arrangement is even more obvious when
you realize that up until 1913 the U.S. government created its
own money, and had no need for a bank to play the part of
a middle man.
That new money loaned out by the Federal Reserve enters
circulation through banks, accumulates in banks, and in the end
the banks end up holding all of the cards, but not necessarily
for the reasons you may imagine. Contrary to popular belief
the majority of money in circulation isn’t actually created by the
Federal Reserve, but rather by the ordinary banks that
businesses and individuals use for their checking, savings, and
mortgages. How is this possible? Well, like the Federal Reserve,
ordinary banks are allowed to loan out money they don’t have.
There are of course restrictions. Banks are only allowed to
loan 10 times the amount that they actually have. So if Wells
Fargo has 1000 dollars they can loan you 10,000 dollars, and
they expect you to pay back that 10,000 dollars plus interest.
This is called fractional reserve banking; 75% of all money in
circulation is created in this manner.
Now as bad as this may seem it’s really only the tip of the
iceberg. Most banks structure payment plans so that for many
years you are paying almost nothing but interest and only start
paying down the principle gradually. The result of this strategy
is that in most cases you pay far more in interest when you
purchase a house than the house itself is worth.
So here’s the real question: If all money is created through
loans, where does the money come from for to pay for the
interest? Let’s say we reset the system to zero, loan 1000
dollars into existence and charge 7% interest. We now have
1000 dollars in the system but we owe 1000 dollars plus
interest and that’s more.
The money to pay the interest doesn’t exist, never has, never
will. This would be obvious if there were only one loan being
issued to one person in this manner, but when performed on
a global scale the reality is hidden, and is transformed into a
game of musical chairs where the person ending up without a
seat faces bankruptcy and financial ruin. The interest insures
that there is always more debt than money in circulation.
Because every dollar in existence is tied to a debt this creates
an unseen force that draws those dollars back to the banks,
like gravity attracts a physical object to earth. The catch here is
that it is the work of the people that moves that money.
Every hour that you work to pay back a loan or to keep the
government from throwing you in jail over income taxes is an
hour worked for the banks. The total receipts from personal
income taxes just barely covers the interest on the national
debt, and even the principle on that debt all ends up back in
the hands of the banks. Once you understand that the money
that the banks loans out isn’t actually an asset, but is in fact a
piece of legal fiction it should be clear that you are working
for these banks for free. This is a cleverly disguised form of
slavery.
If you manage to maintain your monthly payments then you are
a successful slave, and you are allowed to keep the material
comforts that come with that status, but if for some reason
you fail to make your monthly payments then the bank or the
IRS comes takes your house, your car and anything else you
have of value. If somehow even with this enormous financial
advantage the banks still manage to get themselves into trouble
you the taxpayer will be forced to bail them out. No matter
what the banks win. To say the game is rigged is an
understatement.
You might be inclined to think that if you live outside the
United States and don’t use dollars then this situation has no
bearing on your life, but you would be wrong. The dollar is
both the world reserve currency and the only currency in which
oil is sold on the global markets (this is often referred to as
the petrodollar status). This means that where ever you live,
whether your country is an oil exporter or an oil importer you
are affected.
If your country is an oil importer you are effected by the fact
that in order to keep your country running you have to acquire
dollars. To acquire those dollars you have to send goods and
services to the United States or to someone else who did. You
too are a slave to the bankers.
Likewise if your country is an oil exporter you are affected by
the fact that you send your oil to the U.S. in exchange for
this debt based money. You are exchanging something of real
and tangible value for digits on a screen. If for some reason
the leadership of your country grows tired of this arrangement
and tries to pull off of the dollar you’ll quickly find the United
States military at your doorstep ready to open up a can of
democracy on you. Iraq learned this the hard way when they
switched their oil sales to Euros in 2000 and Libya when they
tried to organize a gold based currency for Africa.

Debt based money is a masterpiece of social engineering, the
ultimate tool of the ruling elite, and yet in reality the whole
thing is nothing more than a construct of belief.
Our chains are chains of the mind, and the path to freedom
must also begin in the mind. If we want a better future for
our children and grandchildren we must work right now to
reach a critical mass of awakening.
