Part 2:

The root of the problem

How banking works, in the era of central banking:

Let’s say you want to buy a house. You decide to get a mortgage loan from the bank. Where does the bank get the money for the mortgage? (At this point I let them share their perception of how they think it works.)

If you take out a mortgage for $500k, the bank gives you a Cheque for $500k and you immediately pay the person you are buying the house from. That person now deposits $500k into their bank account. Your bank never had the $500k. They created some numbers on a screen, updated their books showing a new $500k asset, and now charge you rent (interest) on money they never had to provide any value to earn. In fact, they “legally” counterfeited $500k into existence. They only want 5% interest, because why not? The more loans they make, the more money they make - for absolutely no productive value (the more loans they create, the more rent they receive, without ever having to buy anything.) Just like paying the other monopoly player “rent” on their property whilst they provided nothing for you in return, this is exactly how banking works.

This counterfeited money is what increases the money supply, stealing value from those that must work for it, and transferring it to those that are allowed to create money for nothing.

All fiat money exists because of this creation…debt becomes money. Everyone is enslaved, working indirectly for banks.
