The writing is already on the wall. How much proof do you need?? The only difference between this ponzi scheme is that of has legislation to back it up. Add to the fact that we have had it fortheir almost 80 years.
Even if the entire pubic woke up to this it wouldn't matter. This runs far too deep to realistically change it in a reasonable time span. This those things where you would literally have to wipe the slate clean and start from scratch. That would also mean society as well. We rely to heavily on it.

Debt comes from over spending high defecits...its pretty simple actually if your not a retard like the guys in control of this country (USA). Don't spend more than you make and you make money let the money pile up and pay off the debt but people obviously do not care about the debt anymore, it will destory us one day when the world gets tired of giving us loans.

Here it is:"No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility."

Any five-year old child knows that if you put ten marbles into a tin can, you can only take ten marbles back out. No amount of wishful thinking, dreaming, or praying, will yield that eleventh marble from inside that can. That eleventh marble does not exist. It never did, and it never will. All discussions about the eleventh marble are the product of imagination. The eleventh marble is a fantasy.
Private central bankers issuing the public currency as interest-bearing loans operate on the belief that they can put ten marbles (dollars) into a tin can (the world) and magically get 11 marbles back out. Thus, we may conclude that the bankers are dumber than five-year old children! But unlike five-year old children, the bankers will take your home, your business, and your nation when they don't get that eleventh marble! The spoiled child may cry and throw a tantrum, but that will be the end of their upset. The spoiled banker, however, in his or her arrogant rage that they cannot have the eleventh marble their imagination says must still be in that tin can, may start a war before they will admit that eleventh marble was never really there.
Economies are like tin cans. Before you can take a marble out, you must have put a marble in. Nobody can give you a marble that does not exist, yet this simple reality is lost to the priests of that fantastic religion called banking in that unholiest of temples called the IMF. Their religious doctrine seems to be that there must always be an eleventh marble inside the tin can, and that the tin can unfairly withholds that eleventh marble, indeed cheats them of their right to the eleventh marble, purely out of spite. That faith in the existence of the eleventh marble, unseen and improvable, is the article of faith the religion of banking rests on. It is far easier to burn the heretics than to question the dogma.
Today we see the bankers, having already retrieved their ten marbles from the tin can, flogging the world for that missing eleventh marble. Greece does not have that eleventh marble, so they turn to Germany and ask, "Do you have an eleventh marble", and Germany replies, "Sorry, but the bankers already took the ten marbles they put in our tin can, and we are searching for an eleventh marble ourselves. Try the Americans." The Americans, of course, have only just surrendered the last of their ten marbles back to the bankers and are looking under seat cushions for that missing eleventh marble nobody seems able to find.

Hi All,
I enjoy talking to people about the fractional reserve banking system and it's use as a control mechanism, i would like to produce evidence to prove this point (if it exists).
I was thinking something along the lines of a document listing debt levels of each country, then finding evidence to prove there is not enough money in the system as capital to pay this debt back. Has anyone tried this before? Do you have any other suggestions considering i'm certainly no economist? Is it even provable?
I would like to take this information to a number of radio stations (covering a few million people) with whom i'd be able to get a good discussion going.
