No
Anglo-American economist has
come close to countering the scam of usury --
losery
-- as has Dr. Margit Kennedy. Her
empirical findings
simply wipe the field of all
opposition. In Germany
the
poorest 80% pay 1 billion Euros in interest
to the richest
10% PER DAY. Yes, that's right, one billion
euros per day.
That is a grand total of 365 billion
euro's per year. That
is one seventh of German GDP and
extrapolating this
to America, the poorest 80% must be paying at
least a
trillion a year.

Kennedy Why Do We Need Monetary
Innovation?
Anthony Migchels: When the bank creates
some money by
giving you a loan, it takes the money out of circulation
when
you repay. Repaying debts means a diminishing money
supply.
The banks only provide the principal, in our previous example
200k. But after thirty years, 600k has been repaid and
only
200k was created. So how can this be? How can 600k be
repaid by 200k?
It can't. Somebody else needs to get
into debt to create sufficient
liquidity to pay the 400k interest. And the borrower of the
original
loan must start competing for this liquidity with
everybody else
to obtain that, intrinsically scarce, cash.
This
means that because of the combination of debt and interest,
the money supply must grow forever. But we know that a growing
money supply is the definition of inflation and that inflation
is
closely linked to rising prices.
So inflation is
inherent in the system. This sounds strange,
because Central Banks raise interest rates to lower inflation,
reasoning less credit will be issued because of rising prices
for it. But the higher the interest rates go, the more
money
must be created to pay for this interest.
Just
one of the perverse side effects of interest in the
current wealth transfer system we call 'finance'.
George: Speculators buy the land cheap,
then as the land
is developed they charge rent becoming
the wealthy elite
is the city grows and land rent
increases. Note that as
homes are foreclosed and government sells off
government
lands the new owners are foreign
bankers or "ex-pat"
international speculators of the
American upper loop.
