Money and Debt
µ·°ú ºÎä
There is a fundamental truth about money and debt which few people know and even fewer believe that something should be done
about it.

Those who have taken action to change the situation have invariably been assassinated or otherwise silenced if they did get close to
being effective. The truth is so monstrous that it is unbelievable, it is something that we would rather not think about, more so
because we have "experts" who should know all about it, so why would any one of us "non experts" even bother to try and figure it
out?

The problem
¹®Á¦Á¡
We are quite aware of the problem, it is in plain sight, it is the solution that escapes us, probably because we think the problem is so
big we cannot solve it.

Now the problem is, that neither governments nor the vast majority of people have money. Maybe that sounds like an exaggeration
but if we think about it some more, it is the gospel truth. Governments, whether liberal, socialist, conservative, democratic,
whatever you may call them, do not have money. They are taxing us to death and yet they are making debts. And most of them are
already so deeply in debt that there seems to be hardly a hope to pay off what was borrowed.

A sizeable percentage of all taxes collected, different from country to country but in every case considerable, goes towards "debt
service" (that is what the government calls the paying of interest on it's debt), before even discussing the "budget", which really is
only about how to spend the rest.

As far as people go, I don¡¯t think you have to look very hard to see families struggling to make ends meet, even though there is no
lack of willingness to work. Sometimes both man and wife have a job; family life and children suffer, and in many cases there still is
barely enough to pay the bills and take a holiday.

Start observing economic reality around you. Find out how much money your government spends on "debt service". Find out how
much the developing countries have to pay to service their debt. Observe how many people from developing countries are
emigrating or rather are immigrating into your country in search of economic "relief". You will be shocked.

Now that we have recognised that there is a problem, we must take the next step. That is, we must find the cause. One thing we
cannot do is to turn to the "experts", because if they knew, they would have told us long ago and something would already have been
done to remedy the appalling state of affairs.

It is not that the cause is unknown. A few people and a couple of organisations try desperately to inform us about it. Only ? they do
not have access to the public media, and if they had such access, and started an effective information campaign, chances are that
they would meet an ugly fate.

I suppose you are getting impatient to know what that cause might be, and whether it is something that we can, as simple citizens of

have saved your effort for something more rewarding or more pleasing.

The creation of money
µ·ÀÇ Ã¢Ãâ
It would seem natural, that money is created by the State, and in fact most Central Banks seem to be owned by the State and run
by it. I say "seem" because, to all intents and purposes, it is an apparency. They are almost constituting a "fourth power" in addition
to the three legally constituted and well known "traditional" powers, legislative, executive and judicial.

When the State needs money, it does not order the Central Bank to credit some money to the treasury¡¯s account. The State has
only two ways to obtain money. One is taxation of it's citizens, the other is borrowing from the banks.

When the Central Bank issues money, this is done in the form of a loan. The State has to borrow this money, and must promise to
repay it, with interest.

Banknotes, when they are printed, are considered the property of the Central Bank. They are not given to the State to spend, but
are brought into circulation against a corresponding debt. Anyone wanting some of those notes to spend, has to "buy" them by
giving up some of their credit. And in any case, most of the money in circulation (more than 90%) is not banknotes but "credit".

When you go to your bank asking for money, the loan you get is created right there in your bank. The "money" consists of figures
on your bank account, and it can be spent writing checks, giving an order to transfer or drawing the cash. Banks only have to have
a small percentage of their loaned-out money actually available. The rest can be paid out just by moving some figures from one
account to another. The important thing to know: Money is created just by inserting some numbers into a computer.

In practice, it works like this: For every 10.000 a bank gives out as loans, 1000 or 2000 have to be deposited at the central bank. That means, if a bank collects 100.000 in deposits, it could keep 10.000 for liquid cash, put 90.000 into deposit with the central bank, and it is then allowed to create 900.000 of fresh money just by writing the figures on someone¡¯s accounts!

In the case of the government needing money to spend, the procedure is slightly different, but the result is the same. The
government has to issue papers that promise interest and repayment. Those papers are "bought" by the banks, who "sell" them to
their wealthy clients, or who may also keep them, and the government gets credited an equivalent sum of money.

The diabolical mechanism
¾Ç¸¶Àû ¸ÞÄ«´ÏÁò
What happens, when a debt gets repaid? Now this is interesting. The interest on the debt is of course the property of the bank. The
amount that was loaned out and has now been paid back is destroyed. Just as it was "created" it is now "uncreated" or destroyed at
the moment of extinction of the loan. So your bank can create money out of substantially nothing, it can cash in the interest, and
then it can uncreate that money, having subsequently the possibility of repeating the cycle with another willing customer.

An economy needs money so that goods and services can be exchanged. If there is too little money goods will remain unsold, prices
will fall and we call this deflation. If the scarcity of money becomes serious, eventually the economy will go into recession, that is,
production comes to a halt, people lose their jobs, misery starts to reign. So it is very important that the amount of money in
circulation is at all times sufficient for people to buy the goods and services that are being offered.

If on the other hand, too much money is available, inflation, which is a general rise in prices that diminishes the "buying power" of

Also with the government unable to create it¡¯s own money, the only way to make sure there is enough money to buy the goods
that are on offer, is to continue taking loans! Of course that means to continue to pay interest! That is why governments never have
enough money, and why we have to be taxed to the limit of endurance to pay for debt service, in addition to all other government
expenditures. Diabolical indeed. A private money issuing monopoly run through Banking corporations: first of all the "central banks"
and then, in a chain, all the other banks to follow. It is our banking laws that allow banks to create credit themselves, instead of
money being issued by the government, for the people.

Banking laws should be changed to exclude the autonomous creation of credit by banks except for the issue of new currency by the
Central Bank, to be created as a credit, not a debt. The creation of money must return to the control of the people and must
directly benefit each one of us.

How to exclude the creation of credit by the banks? Simple. Instead of requiring a 10% or 20% deposit to the Central Bank for
every loan given by banks, a 100% deposit should be required. That means, a bank can collect the savings of it¡¯s clients, it can
deposit them at the Central Bank and it can then, and only then, give out loans up to the same amount it has deposited.

Now as to the creation of money having to return to the control of government, or actually to the control of the people, this is an
exquisite problem. First and foremost, a mechanism must be available which allows to keep track of prices on a continuous basis.
Having such a mechanism, it is now possible for the money issuing institute (the Central Bank) to exactly control the buying power
of money, putting inflation and deflation under its direct control.

In accordance with the principle that the amount of currency in circulation must exactly match the amount of goods and services on
offer, we can now eliminate inflation and keep the currency stable, by one simple mechanism. The issuing authority is instructed to
stabilise the price index. This is done by decreasing liquidity at the first sign of increasing prices, and by increasing the amount of
money in curculation by the issue of new money when prices start to fall.

Credit money versus debit money
ÁøÂ¥ÈÆó¿Í °¡Â¥ÈÆó
Today, when money is created, it is created in the form of credit for the banks, and is issued in the form of debit to whoever takes
the loan, private citizen or government. Of course the debt must be repaid, the money is considered to be "the bank's money", and
of course for that reason we must pay interest. I call that debit money and I have already pointed out that this debit money is the
cause of much ? if not all ? of our economic suffering.

Credit money, on the other hand, does not have these drawbacks. The money should be issued and be given ? yes, given not as a
loan, but as a rightful share in the development of the economy, to each and every citizen. When money gets created, it was not the
banks that worked for it, but the people, and so quite rightfully, the people should become the owners of the money once it is
issued.

Social credit

One could call such a system a social credit system. In fact, the term "social credit" was coined by a certain Clifford Hugh Douglas,
and has been promoted by a Canadian named Louis Even, who has founded a regular publication to bring the philosophy of social
credit into public consciousness. Social credit is probably more than what I am describing here, but credit money would certainly be
an important part of it.

So when money is issued by the central issuing institute, does it not belong rightfully to all of us who have contributed in one way or
another in bringing about economic growth? We produce, we consume, we live, we have ideas, we have children, we teach, we learn.
All those activities and others make up the country¡¯s economic life and so it would seem quite logical that the benefit from the
issuance of money should not go to a few private bankers, but to those who cause the economy to grow in the first place!

Apart from the necessity to end the private money making monopoly by the banks by requiring a 100% reserve for loans given, it

Since we are all contributing, in one way or another, to the economic activity of the country, I shall relate here an idea elaborated by

Auriti, a professor of law, who has made the above proposal, is quite explicit when describing the current situation. He explains that our monetary system is the biggest fraud in history. The people are being defrauded, says Auriti, by twice the total amount of currency in circulation, because not only have they been denied their rightful share in economic development, but when issuing currency, the money was issued as a debt, adding damage to insult, as it were and inflicting a double loss on the populace.
