THE FRACTAL BANKING SYSTEM
If the 99% of the people knew what the 1% knows about how our money is created and by whom, the number of protestors would increase tremendously overnight.
I believe most people still think that when they borrow money from a bank, they are borrowing money that is on deposit by other people. Nothing could be further from the truth!
All the bank has to have is assets of 10% of the loan and after that the bank creates an electronic amount equal to the amount of your loan. This money is created out of thin air, but you will be paying interest on this artificially created money until the loan or mortgage is paid off.
Now wouldn't it be great if YOU could do the same thing that the bankers can?
Countries are also treated like individual borrowers by their central banks. The bulk of the population believed central banks, like the US Federal Reserve, is a government entity. NOT SO!! The Federal Reserve is a private bank which was given the right to create money, then lends this money created out of thin air to the government and charges the government interest.
Banking used to be a boring business. Money deposited by clients was paid a certain amount of interest, and this money was lent out at a higher amount of interest. The bank kept the mortgage and eventually the client paid off the mortgage, and the bank had made a profit. With fractal banking and less and less regulation, banks have now become gambling casinos.
Recently a Swiss bank declared a 2 billion loss supposedly because of a rogue trader. Yet US banks and trading houses declared enormous losses and had to be bailed out due to exactly the same thing that one Swiss banker got blamed for. Except in the US the people causing the losses received billions in bonuses, and the taxpayers made up for their losses.
And every day we hear news that goes on and on about the weak banks that have to be shored up with more funds. But people still don't understand that this weakness was and is still being caused by a system that still allows banks to act as gamblers.
I think more people should be made aware of why fractal banking with all its leverage has caused banks to enter the gambling game.
IT IS TIME TO STOP THIS!
Great post.
Not sure what it has to do with "Fractal Banking", but the title certainly crabbed my attention.
How about RGB ,"Fractal Politics"?

May we have some citation of these "facts" I keep reading about fractional banking (I will assume by the material presented here that we are referring to "fractional reserve banking" as opposed to "fractal banking" which is a different mathematical/banking discipline). I see lots of articles on the subject, but nothing supporting the theory. I view fractal banking as covering multiple bets with only 1 original bet amount at an allowed rate of 9 to 1. Does this actually lead to money being created from "thin air" as has been suggested? I do not see any evidence of this cited anywhere. This practice is wrong and immoral in every way, no matter how it actually comes about, but I request that well cited facts be posted as proof that this actually causes the creation of real or speculative money. Thanks in advance to all who participate in clearing this up for me, I appreciate all cited input! PEACE AND SOLIDARITY! =]
