1. Financialization and Shadow Banking

   Financial sector controlling currency is a power above nations!

   Where does all the fiat money go?   Shadow banking and in purchasing industries by their affiliates.  This financial world that goes unnoticed on YouTube, corporate media, and Wikipedia’s articles are weak.

Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes it laws.  Mayer Amsheel Rothschild (founder)  

** Teddy Roosevelt's advice that, "We must drive the special interests out of politics. The citizens of the United States must effectively control the mighty commercial forces which they have themselves called into being. There can be no effective control of corporations while their political activity remains."  In 1912 he ran as the Populist candidates for President. 

The fact-free lockdown hysteria, 53 min, 783,522 in 2 weeks, Thomas E Woods, Jr. on exaggerated claims of deaths and real costs of lock down.  WHO in April predicts 42-66 million less children from increased poverty and deaths from starvation.  Logical, but misses 1) false positive, counting those without symptoms who are immune to COVID; 2) Compares to yearly flu pandemic, there is no increased in deaths, just shift from other causes, 3) hospitals have a $13,500 Medicare incentive for positive tests of patients, 4) no warning for elderly to stop taking drugs that lower immune response, including statins, alpha & beta blocker, neuroleptics, immunosuppressants https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RDffMCAujg good  Though not asked by Woods, a libertarian, it is clear that only the financial sector would orchestrate a global great depression based on a RNA virus no more deadly than the yearly winter influenza pandemic.  Every 8 to 12 years there is an economic downturn with an increase in government debt which financial sector uses as assets for their fractional reserves.  For every billion bank by of debt, US create 10 billion in digital currency—probably a higher rate. There are talking points, and the Money Masters and Secret of Oz #3, on our national bank.

Why Banks are rushing to shadow lenders for help. 4 min, 9,200 view in 7 months, Bloomberg interview. Two major points, industries like food, airline, are going to banks and getting a line of credit, interest rates are 15% and higher, the 4 major banks listed each have over $400 billion in reserves; with fractional reserve it entails trillions in loans.  Put the two together, and the crash will make the banks incredible profits, and it keeps the currency expansion through government debt, the $600 trillion shadow banking market (on 10% assents) afloat.  The hidden world that shapes economics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGzN43Clbis good

How the Economic Machine Works, 31 minutes 24,813,000 views, 2013, Ray Dalio, good on basics but flawed in two major ways.  First the cycles are not created by consumer credit, but the major financial organizations, which profits from recessions and depressions for increasing their profits by increasing debt (credit).  Second the total debt is over 90% in the financial sector, not the consumer’s debt.  Worth watching, but it puts lipstick on the financial pig, misses the banksters, monopoly capitalism, human value incentive, neoliberalism—self managed capitalism.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGzN43Clbis good.  

How is money created? Everything you need to know, 30 min, 2,394,000, Cold fusion TV, a good neutral explanation of banking, and what happened in 2008 bail out.  Missing is the 27 trillion-dollar US guarantee to float the shadow banking, which supposedly added another $4 trillion in federal debt.  Numbers on Federal debt are about 1/5^th the actual debt.  Other than that, it is well done including on how banks create currency and buy up assets. Defends the need for a central bank, rather than government to issue currency   Quality sound and video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzoX7zEZ6h4 Very Good  also at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzoX7zEZ6h4&t=4s    6/8/20

The financial center is moving to the orient gradually

To understand the financial world and its control over events, one must connect fiat currency, globalization, shadow banking, a unified financial sector, & monopoly capitalism.

1. Banking’s Economics and History

***** The Money Masters 217 min, seen by 10s of millions, 1995, Bill Stills, a Libertarian account of the banking system.  I have spent hours confirming the suspect points of the film.  It was carried on independent PBS station in 2002 and in 2008.  Strong on history and education, it shows how the financial system functions to maximize profits, while pretending to provide essential services, and in so doing controls the economy.  The federal banks have the power to crash an economy through controlling the demand for federal debt obligations (mostly T-bills), this entails that they are above control.  The solution is to go from a debt-based currency (debt to national banks and member banks) to a fiat currency issued by government and free of interest payments.  Currently over $800 billion per year is paid on interest by the US government, plus a similar amount by states and local governments, and again by businesses and citizens. Over 50% of GDP consists of the financial sector. The film covers consequences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t0CkzD-Bv8.  Notes on film at http://www.skeptically.org/bhe/id3.html.   What the rulers hide, A must see

***** International Monetary System – New Economic Slavery, 51 min, 119,000 views, on how banks make money out of buying treasury bonds, to which they loan our government (as does all central banks) money (credit) to which they receive interest payment.  Deposits are leveraged to create more loans at a ratio of 10 to 1.  This expansion of currency allows for a casino economy with rampant speculative investments.  Expansion of currency also entails inflation.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogqZ6pnWM7o Very good

8. The Current Depression, spiral downward or fiat upward

The Fall 2007-2010 crash.  Economic depression exists when the GDP shrinks significantly, now called a recession, what will the call the 2020 crash?  The numbers are cooked because they included the profits of the parasitic financial sector.  The standard of lives overall is declining, while productivity of labor increases.  Workers produce more and get less.  The causes of the last 3 economic crashes are the need to inflate increase government debt, which is used by the financial sector—there holdings in gov debt as the fractional assets for the issue of fiat currency.  One dollar in T-bill permits 10 dollars of fiat currency—and that ratio isn’t enforced.  The expansion of shadow banking to over 1,000 trillion in debt obligations needs a steady increase in debt base assets to inflate their market and prevent a crash like the one in 2008.  Watch above The Secret of Oz to get a glimpse of the power of control the currency of a nation, done for the goal of every increasing profits.

Quality but three major errors, it blames government for banking including shadow banking, 2) misses neoliberalism, and the global financial unification, 3) the fiat currency used to buy up 3^rd world and 1^st world businesses, land, etc.  Governments issue currency, not just one nation is fix.  Wants gold backed currency, but there isn’t enough gold on a dolla- for-dollar ratio to supply global needs.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNIE7qUePq8 Excellent

Without organized pressure we will likely get a Mussolini fix.  Maybe the banks will, as they did for Muslin and Hitler, bail us out in 2 years.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14zbZvXogoM Excellent
