Although hard to believe, here's a piece of truth you ought to know:  The Federal Reserve is the greatest, most-lucrative, longest-lasting financial swindle the world has ever seen.***   And fiat money (make-believe money ² ) is at the core if this legalize crime!   Here's the essence of the scam:   The Federal Reserve Banks loan the government money and the government pays interest on the loan.   On the surface, that sounds simple and straight forward, but  the swindle is in where the loan money actually comes from.

Where did these twelve privately owned banks get the trillions of dollars they have loaned to the U. S. government -- the trillions of dollars on which you and I are paying interest (in the form of gold) to these banks?   

The answer is:   P.F.A.  As some would say, plucked from air.   They didn't and they don't have billions to loan.    They are charging you and me  real interest on make-believe money.   Billions of your real, hard-earned,  tax dollars are are being funneled into the coffers of these private banks ( in the form of gold) to pay interest on an Alice in Wonderland, fairytale loan.   The money you are paying interest on is non-existent!   It's fake!   Its a fraud!  The Federal Reserve is sleaze and a flim-flam scam  slimly disguised as a service to the people.  

Since its inception, in the middle of the night  on December 22, 1913, literally trillions (that's thousand of billions)  of dollars have been transferred from the public treasury to private banking interests.   (The law requires that the interest paid to the twelve, privately owned banks that make up the Federal Reserve has to be paid in gold.)   This con game is still going on right now, today  even though the facts about this scam are easily accessible, public knowledge.

This swindle could never be pulled off in a monetary system based on real money-- (base on money with intrinsic value such as gold and silver).   To steal your money was the major reason the manipulators eliminated the gold standard as a basis for monetary value.   And rumor has it that President John Kennedy was murdered because he was about to put an end to this "fleecing of the lambs."

The United States Constitution defines  money as gold and silver.    With real money, one must first have money in order to loan it.   This is not required when loaning fiat money.   Banks loan non-existing money by simply making an entry in their records.  They then charge the borrowers interest for its use.

Imagine, for a moment, a restaurant doing business this way.   You enter the restaurant, sit down, look at the menu and order dinner.   Instead of a real dinner, the waiter brings you a second copy of the menu and a bill for the price of a real meal.   Do you eat the menu, pay the bill and leave, or do you ask, "Where's dinner?"   Perhaps it's time to call a halt to the Federal Reserve scam.

*** Swindling the public is nothing new.   The Federal Reserve scam is almost as good as the story that the public is still being told regarding the greatest hypocrite in all of creation -- the God of Christian theology.  

Christian theology tells us that God is offering love and forgiveness.   If that's true, then why is this same Christian God holding the longest-lasting grudge in all of creation.  According to Christian theology, God still punishing every human being, today,  because a long-dead ancestor ate a fruit from a forbidden tree.   Wouldn't you think that after all these thousands of years, He (God) could let go of that one little mistake?   Apparently not.  Then this loving and forgiving God goes on to torture and murder his own son to prove to us how much he loves us.

**m2  **m2   Fiat Money:     Fiat money is a gloried form of "Monopoly" money.   It's make-believe money.   It's nothing more than bookkeeping ledger entries or paper money which the Federal Reserve creates on their printing presses with absolutely no supervision.  The real value in this money is zero, zip, nada,  nothing.   It steals its value from the money already in the economy -- from the money in your wallet,  in your bank accounts, and in your retirement investments.   

The Finance industry then charges its customers hard-earned, interest money (money created with blood, sweat and tears)   for the use of this non-existent, make-believe money that they (the bankers) simply plucked from the air or printed on the Federal Reserve's counterfeit-money printing presses.   With this make-believe money, the bankers  control, dominate, and milk the people for real money.  

Here's how the scam works:  You and I, small business owners, and the general public borrow their money.   We work diligently to produce goods and services and then we give/pay some of our real goods and services to the lenders (in the form of money) as payment for the use of their non-existent money.   Then while we struggle to survive, the  super-wealthy then live extravagant lifestyles using this stolen wealth.   This technique for milking the public for money  has been going on for so many years that it's considered normal and almost nobody questions the validity of the system.  

You can steal a little bit from everybody for a long time and most people will not even know that they are being secretly milked for money.   (That's what the super wealthy have been doing via the The Federal Reserve ²  for almost one hundred years.)   As the rate of theft become larger and larger, there comes a point where the missing money becomes obvious.    That's where we are now with excessive government deficit spending, with the banking industry's usury-level  interest rates and with financial fraud by the Wall Street wheelers and dealers.
