    I HAVE A GREAT IDEA!

    Every time you receive a letter advertising a credit card or loan, use the included prepaid envelope to send them a letter advising the reader that he/she should watch “Money as Debt”. Indicate Youtube, Google Video and Guba(dot)com. This will get the employees at the banks educated about who they are actually working for, and the bank is paying the postage! We can start bombarding them with letters in this manner.

    I have to think about that one, but the question that “If the people realized the bank was loaning them air to get a mortgage on their house and charging them interest on that air, do you think the people would revolt?” would seem like a reasonable one.

    Banks are not ‘bad’ though. The banking system here is portrayed as bad just because this loaded word ‘debt’ is thrown in to make the whole system look broke. Without the banking system, the world would be a very very undeveloped place.

    It literally is a case of what you don’t know won’t hurt you. If everyone was ignorant of the way banks work, then they’d work perfectly and life would be great. On the other hand if everyone was perfectly educated then in times of unrest runs of the bank = :(

    what about the exponential growth suggested by the logic of this whole thing? it’s basically just a way to keep everyone franatically producing and requesting for crap they dont need, a way to keep the whole planet eternally in anguish. That’s not enough? how about this instead: The fact a few bankers really control the world.This concept reveals we’re effectively still living in a feudal system.

    Is this a Marxist conspiracy theory or is it legit? Quick, someone reply to my comment before I lose faith in the banking system.

    It’s all true. The 13 Colonies printed their own money in the early 1700′s, in defiance of the Bank of England. The Brits then started creating taxes THAT COULD ONLY BE PAID with Bank of England money. But of course you couldn’t exchange Colonial notes for B of E notes.
    Thus the Revolution.
    The Union won the Civil War with money it printed itself.
    Lincoln was killed and the Bankers slowly reestablished the Bank of American now called the Federal Reserve.
    It’s all in the real history books.

    I’d say it’s more in line with Austrian economics, like what Peter Schiff espouses. Quite the opposite of Marxism. Youtube “Peter Schiff was right”.

    It’s totally legit man, I know it sounds ridiculously fraudulent and many of us didn’t even know until late, but yeah they (banks) make interest on imaginary $100,000 with only $1,111 of real money. Watch “money, banking and the federal reserve” by misesmedia.

    this is a great vid, expcept for the conspiracy b u l l s h i t towards the end, but keep in mind that any monetary system is based on two things trust and the value of x. his reccomendations at the end are good ideas, but at the end of the day they too rely on the parties to TRUST each other.
