NOTE FROM THE EDITOR: This is the fifth part of a series of the article, “Billions for the bankers – debt for the people.” The first part started with history of the United States national debt in the beginning of 1900. This second of this series of several parts, will show you how the control of money has played a key role into the enslaving North Americans by depraving them of owning nothing, while the bankers own everything. The third part details the events from the Depression of the 1930s to later days. The forth part deals with Lost Control of the Federal Reserve, More Disastrous Than Pearl Harbor, and Billions in Interest Owed to Private Banks. El Reportero is proud to publish this article, written by Pastor Sheldon Emry for learning purposes, of the history of money in the United States.
Manipulating Stocks for Fun and Profit
by Pastor Sheldon Emry
In addition to almost unlimited usury, the bankers have another method of drawing vast amounts of wealth. The banks who control the money at the top are able to approve or disapprove large loans to large and successful corporations to the extent that refusal of a loan will bring about a reduction in the selling price of the corporation’s stock.
After depressing the price, the bankers’ agents buy large blocks of the company’s stock. Then, if the bank suddenly approves a multi-million dollar loan to the company, the stock rises and is then sold for a profit. In this manner, billions of dollars are made with which to buy more stock.
This practice is so refined today that the Federal Reserve Board need only announce to the newspapers an increase or decrease in their “discount rate” to send stocks soaring or crashing at their whim.
Using this method since 1913, the bankers and their agents have purchased secret or open control of almost every large corporation in America. Using this leverage, they then force the corporations to borrow huge sums from their banks so that corporate earnings are siphoned off in the form of interest to the banks. This leaves little as actual “profits” which can be paid as dividends and explains why banks can reap billions in interest from corporate loans even when stock prices are depressed. In effect, the bankers get a huge chunk of the profi ts, while individual stockholders are left holding the bag.
The millions of working families of America are now indebted to the few thousand banking families for twice the assessed value of the entire United States.
And these Banking families obtained that debt against us for the cost of paper, ink, and bookkeeping!
The interest amount is never created
The only way new money (which is not true money, but rather credit representing a debt), goes into circulation in America is when it is borrowed from the bankers. When the State and people borrow large sums, we seem to prosper. However, the bankers “create” only the amount of the principal of each loan, never the extra amount needed to pay the interest. Therefore, the new money never equals the new debt added. The amounts needed to pay the interest on loans is not “created,” and therefore does not exist!
Under this system, where new debt always exceeds new money no matter how much or how little is borrowed, the total debt increasingly outstrips the amount of money available to pay the debt. The people can never, ever get out of debt!
The following example will show the viciousness of this interest-debt system via its “built in” shortage of money.
The Tyranny of Compound Interest
When a citizen goes to a banker to borrow $100,000 to purchase a home or a farm, the bank clerk has the borrower agree to pay back the loan plus interest. At 8.25% interest for 30 years, the borrower must agree to pay $751.27 per month for a total of $270,456.00.
The clerk then requires the citizen to assign to the banker the right of ownership of the property if the borrower does not make the required payments. The bank clerk then gives the borrower a $100,000 check or a $100,000 deposit slip, crediting the borrower’s checking account with $100,000.
The borrower then writes checks to the builder, subcontractors, etc. who inturn write checks. $100,000 of new “checkbook” money is thereby added to the “money in circulation.”
However, this is the fatal fl aw in the system: the only new money created and put into circulation is the amount of the loan, $100,000. The money to pay the interest is NOT created, and therefore was NOT added to “money in circulation.”
Even so, this borrower (and those who follow him in ownership of the property) must earn and take out of circulation $270,456.00, $170,456.00 more than he put in circulation when he borrowed the original $100,000! (This interest cheats all families out of nicer homes. It is not that they cannot afford them; it is because the bankers’ interest forces them to pay for nearly 3 homes to get one!)
Every new loan puts the same process in operation.
Each borrower adds a small sum to the total money supply when he borrows, but the payments on the loan (because of interest) then deduct a much larger sum from the total money supply.
There is therefore no way all debtors can pay off the money lenders. As they pay the principle and interest, the money in circulation disappears. All they can do is struggle against each other, borrowing more and more from the money lenders each generation.
The money lenders (bankers), who produce nothing of value, gradually gain a death grip on the land, buildings, and present and future earnings of the whole working population. Proverbs 22:7 has come to pass in America. “The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.”
