The Grand Trick – Sleepers Awake!

The Grand Trick – Sleepers, Awake!

Oranges and Lemons

Picking up on a recent remark about my stance on ‘Usury’ I thought
it might be interesting to flesh that particular point out.

On it’s own interest/usury is a pernicious concept but I am not
focusing solely on usury but the way money is generated and how most
of the population (world wide) is manipulated and brainwashed into
accepting and not questioning the  Grand Trick that is played on
them – and it’s a trick which is fundamentally malevolent  and used to
gain power and control.

Who Owns The Banks?

I often start by asking people “Who owns the Bank of England? Who
owns the Federal Reserve?”

People hum and ha but few know that both are privately owned banks
but they are the designated “Central Banks” of their respective countries.

They have the license to ‘supply’ our money.

To cut a long story very short the way in which a bank works is
that it ‘looks after people’s money’. Years ago you could take in
your gold coin, deposit it and receive a note to say that that amount
was held in the bank and redeemable upon demand.   Instead of
running back to the bank to retrieve your gold to exchange it for
a horse or whatever, you simply passed over your ‘notes’ to the
required value of gold and thus bought your horse.

Simple, convenient and the banks simply charged ‘rent’ to store your

gold safely.

A Clever, Profitable Trick

But then the keepers of the gold could see that they always had
large amounts of gold in their bank, never did ‘everyone’ come in
at one time and take all their gold out.  So they secretly hit upon
the idea of lending out extra notes, charging interest for such‘loans’.

A very profitable idea indeed, if you and I tried that trickimagine the

shame and uproar when found out!

Going to Print – Money from Thin Air

Notice at this point that the lenders simply printed a ‘note’ that
had cost them virtually nothing, written an amount on it and then
charged interest on the ‘loan’ or ‘credit’.   They created money out of thin
air based on their ‘customer’s promissory note to pay it back.

The promissory note took the place of gold, became the funding
instrument for the new customer’s account and without which, no new
account could be created. No money was taken from another account -
it is a trick based on trust. But this strategy is not ‘well
advertised’ as you can imagine and the population at large generally
has no clue as to what the bankers are doing -treating them as
Lemons, no less!

Who Get’s Rich?

Well, bankers/lenders got very rich producing little except pretty
pieces of paper!  But everyone seemed happy until….

Depositors began to wonder how these bankers were getting so rich
and rumours spread that they were spending the depositors money.
The depositors rushed to get ‘their gold’ out of the bank before
everyone else did and guess what? Not enough gold to go around and
the bankers were lynched (well they should have been perhaps)!

Know Your Fractions!

So banking rules were set up and fractional banking approved and
made legal. Bankers had to retain a certain proportion in gold of
what they lent out in notes. They were allowed to lend extra to
what they held in stock they only had to hold a fraction of the
value lent in gold – hence Fractional Banking.  Still money backed
by gold but not so much.

Goodbye Gold

But…since the gold standard was abandoned no gold at all need be
kept in the bank (it isn’t) and all money issued today is against
promissory notes of one kind or another, so as above, money is
created out of thin air. Now the fractional banking is based on
these promissory notes (i.e. Loan agreements) instead of gold or
any other precious metal.

Very Interesting Point

So what’s wrong with that?   The problem lies in finding the
interest charged. When money is created from promissory notes
everything balances out until you have to find the money to pay the
interest, the only way that can be done is through borrowing more
money into existence.

If the Treasury performed the very same function there would be no
need for the Government to pay these interest charges, think about it.

In 1694 ‘They ‘got Rich ‘We’ Got Poor

The Bank of England was brought into it’s
‘wealth-for-itself-generating-position’ by William and Mary in
1694.  William needed money, he did a deal with the Bank to
lend it to him, at interest. Interest on money created out of thin
air, collateral? The population, they would pay taxes, great idea,
here you are Mr King Orange we are surrounded by Silly Lemons, so
no problem!

The Government’s ‘Credit Card’

Forever after the gov’t has enjoyed this system, they have an open
credit card, they sign the promissory notes for billions for arms
(arms sales down, let’s have a war) etc., and pass the burden of
the debt interest to us Lemons who are picking up a growing tab.

Now the banks control nearly everything.

“Lets put a lot of money into the market”
Interest rates down folks, everyone borrow like crazy.
Now watch this trick, lets pull the money in now – up go interest
rates, Lemons go into default on mortgages loans etc, property is
seized!  Now see that trick? The money was created out of thin air
but the property is real, who ends up with the property? The banks,
thanks, squeeze another Lemon chaps!

The Credit Card Wheeze – Put on the Squeeze

Credit cards (see how they are promoted to draw people into alleged
debt and subservience to the banks) and there are truly vicious and
underhand tricks played with them
Loans (to consolidate other loans)
Mortgages (Death Grip)

Repossessions Tantamount to Theft

Taking mortgages for example: When interest rates rise and
mortgages go into default and property is seized and sold on as
‘distressed property’ in many, many cases a bit of education and
un-brainwashing could have saved thousands of re-possessions, very
simply.

All the Mortgage lender need to do is to say “You are obviously
struggling, why not switch from repayment to interest only?”
It’s less than half the monthly outgoing and you can manage that.

We are brain washed into thinking that’s a very bad idea – but, but
we’ll never pay for the house what will happen…..?

A Debatable Point?

Consider: The rise in property prices follows a steady trend of say
12% p.a. (it’s about that) property prices rise above and correct
down and fall below sometimes then correct up. Why? There is a
growing housing shortage crisis that’s why. We have 500 more people
in this country through the ‘balance of trade’ between immigrants
and emigrants – per day; not to mention smaller family units (divorce
splits, growing student accommodation requirement etc.)  So the
value increase in your house over 25 years is so great that there
is no need to struggle to ‘pay off, you can simply release equity
later, the house will earn more than you!   Hence acquiring
property is such an ‘earner’.

But the banking system as you can see is based on a trick, “a
sleight of hand’ as a Bank of England governor said and the tricks
don’t stop at a national level.

Who’s in Charge?

Through the clever mechanics of banking, the bankers can actually
control the world – and they do.

Through big corporations they exploit labour in poorer countries,
they make loans that become national burdens of huge proportions
then send in the economic hit-men to persuade the rulers to bend to
the will of..I will leave that to the imagination, as I am not keen
on being hit myself!

They go in and say, “Now , you owe us a lot of money. In this
pocket I have a lot of money, I can make you very rich, through
‘legitimate’ deals of course, if you follow our prescribed policy
(sell us your oil cheap, for dollars, etc) but in this pocket I have a gun, with
a bullet with your name on it). If the president doesn’t go along
with plan A. His plane blows up in mid air (that’s happened to two
S American, non-co-operative presidents so far).

Our banking system is unsustainable. We are paying taxes that’s
money that goes into a black hole, growing interest on money
created out of thin air and going straight to the bankers (ever
seen an audit of accounts of the Bank of England)?

What have we got a Treasury for?

It can issue Treasury Bonds to raise money (bonds are a form of
money) therefore they can issue debt free money too. It would take
a brave act of parliament.  At least three US presidents have tried
and all got assassinated. If that happened we would be immediately
freed from a huge unpayable debt that each Chancellor of the
Exchequer has to find more and more sneaky ways to raise more and
more tax from …..the Lemons!

Let’s Call It Like it Is!

So when I say evil, I mean evil – and powerful – and in control -
and anyone who knows, who’s in any power, is scared to say a word.

I have written to The Chancellor (then GB) and received a response
from Ed Balls, probably why he didn’t make it to Chancellor
himself?  I wrote to my MP when he was Shadow Secretary for
Overseas Development – he’s in Education now. Such clever people,
international finance one minute, Education the next; background?
Estate Agent I believe?
I hope that gives some food for thought?

I am now going to save the planet by introducing a fuel saving kit
(stage one giving minimum savings of 50%) stage two, if we are
allowed to import it, gives 100mpg plus.

You would think that HMG would welcome such a green item but that’s
all hog wash, where will they replace the lost fuel tax revenue?
“Ho, Ho, folks, the greens made a mistake, global warming is due to
cyclic sun spot activity don’t worry about it – and those silly old
fuel savers use too much water anyway!”

Squeeze me a Lemon someone, I don’t hear the pips squeaking yet.
