Money is being created out of thin air!

A number of years ago, the central bank of the United States, the Federal Reserve, produced a document entitled “Modern Money Mechanics”. This publication detailed the institutionalized practice of money creation as utilized by the federal reserve and the web of global commercial banks it supports.

On the opening page the document states its objective. The purpose of this booklet is to describe the basic process of money creation in a fractional reserve banking system. It then precedes to describe this fractional reserve process through various banking terminology.

A translation of which goes something like this:

-The United States government decides it needs some money.
-So it calls up the federal reserve and requests say 10 billion dollars.
-The FED replies saying: “sure, we’ll buy ten billion in government bonds from you”.
-So the government takes some pieces of paper, paints some official looking designs on them, and calls them treasury bonds.
-Then it puts a value on these bonds to the sum of 10 billion dollars and sends them over to the FED.
-In turn the people of the FED draw up a bunch of impressive pieces of paper themselves, only this time calling them federal reserve notes, also designating a value of ten billion dollars to the set.
-The FED than takes these notes and trades them for the bonds.
-Once this exchange is complete, the government than takes the ten billion in federal reserve notes, and deposits it into an bank account.
-And, upon this deposit the paper notes officially become legal tender money.
-Adding ten billion to the US money supply.

And there it is! Ten billion in new money has been created. Of course, this example is a generalization. For, in reality, this transaction would occur electronically, with no paper used at all. In fact, only three percent of US money supply exists in physical currency. The other 97 percent essentially exists in computers alone.

Now, government bonds are by design instruments of debt. And when the FED purchases these bonds with money it essentially created out of thin air, the government is actually promising to pay back that money to the FED. In other words, the money was created out of debt.

This mind numbing paradox, of how money or value can be created out of debt, or a liability, will become more clear as we further this exercise.

So, the exchange has been made. And now, ten billion dollars sits in a commercial bank account. Here is where it gets really interesting. For, as based on the fractional reserve practice, that ten billion dollar deposit instantly becomes part of the banks reserves. Just as all deposits do. And, regarding reserve requirements as stated in “Modern Money Mechanics”: “A bank must maintain legally required reserves equal to a prescribed percentage of its deposits”. It then quantifies this by stating: “Under current regulations, the reserve requirement against most transaction accounts is ten percent”. This means that with a ten billion dollar deposit, ten percent, or one billion, is held as the required reserve. While the other nine billion is considered an excessive reserve, and can be used as the basis for new loans.

Now, it is logical to assume, that this nine billion is literally coming out of the existing ten billion dollar deposit. However, this is actually not the case. What really happens, is that the nine billion is simply created out of thin air on top of the existing 10 billion dollar deposit. This is how the money supply is expanded.

As stated in “Modern Money Mechanics”: “Of course they” (the banks) “do not really pay out loans for the money, they receive as deposits. If they did this, no additional money would be created. What they do when they make loans is to accept promissory notes” (loan contracts) “in exchange for credits” (money) “to the borrowers transaction accounts.” In other words, the nine billion can be created out of nothing. Simply because there is a demand for such a loan, and that there is a 10 billion dollar deposit to satisfy the reserve requirements.

Now let’s assume that somebody walks into this bank and borrows the newly available nine billion dollars. They will then most likely take that money and deposit it into their own bank account. The process then repeats. For that deposit becomes part of the banks reserves. Ten percent is isolated and in turn 90 percent of the nine billion, or 8.1 billion is now available as newly created money for more loans. And, of course, that 8.1 can be loaned out and redeposited creating an additional 7.2 billion to 6.5 billion… to 5.9 billion… etc…

This deposit money creation loan cycle can technically go on to infinity.

The average mathematical result is that about 90 billion dollars can be created on top of the original 10 billion. In other words: For every deposit that ever occurs in the banking system, about nine times that amount can be created out of thin air.

Yeah its a very sick system, i wonder how long it will take until people understand it should not be used. Its funny because when you pay interest on a loan, you are having to pay for having money that does not really exist and was never even in the banks. Not to mention tax payers dollars mostly going to pay the debts we owe for money that does not exist.

Yes, this system is the root cause of the financial mess the world is in. Economies now entirley are used to service the financial markets. All infastructure, health, education are second fiddle to this henious machine.
Central banks (private corporations), printing imaginary money, then lending it to its own government and charging interest (that can never be paid back), Is the order of the day im afraid. Its SICK.

All money is created out of thin air.....None of it is real.....

Get past all the details you laid out and understand without Woodrow Wilson signing on the crap ass federal reserve in the first place, we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now...

It should come as no surprise that money is being created out of thin air.

Without the need for anything to back the monetary system, they can print whatever the hell they deem fit provided they buy it off of some Rothschild-owned bank, with the earnings of our and future generations the tender of choice.

If anyone thinks there's something supporting all these whizzing numbers on this badboy, crack is the least of your problems.

just sayin' . . .

many people realize our financial system is sketchy.
when i say that the merlins of the financial world will keep things going for a while, people with money are releived.
the more wealth you have, the more worried you become.

imo, the crash is unavoidable, no matter how much finance has been removed from reality.
but you have to give credit to the merlins for keeping things afloat this long.

if you add the trillions of phony wealth created by the hedge funds playing comodities, the imf, wto, and all the assorted central banks, do you cry or laugh?

what is next?
a barter system?

Money has always been created out of thin air.

Value is a relative thing...doesn't matter if you base it on physical elements or conceptual demand...it is all the same.

With this froud monetary system which is based on usuary is to enslave mankind through deception. And the mastermind is Anti-Christ (Dajjal) the false Messiah.

If you read the entire post, you would realize what I meant by "Money is being created out of thin air."
