If all this were true, then wouldn't there be millions of whistleblowers talking about it from government and finance? It seems too black and white cartoonish.
Also, wouldn't the leaders of other countries be exposing America for it? Why hasn't Putin talked about it on Russian news or the leaders of the Middle Eastern countries brought it up? Why isn't the whole world talking about it? How come its only talked about in conspiracy circles and alternative media?
Wouldn't such a ponzi scheme have collapsed a long time ago? How could it have gone on since 1913?
How can the banksters loan the government all its money at interest, which can never be repaid? What a stupid system. The people who own the banks must be a lot smarter than that.
If all the trillions of national debt is owed to the banksters, then why don't they just cancel out some of it to help the economy? Why do they let the national debt keep growing forever? Can't they just cancel or write off some of it? What would they have to lose by writing off the national debt, since the money doesn't exist anyway and they have unlimited money?
If the banksters could print unlimited money and had unlimited wealth, then why would they care about getting richer? Why would they start wars for profit? Wouldn't that be like adding ice to Antarctica? Why would they need any money at all if they are creating all of it?
So you see, this theory doesn't make much sense. I'd like to see some evidence for it. What's the basis of it? Conspiracy people tout this like they are religious truths. But what's the evidence and basis for it? Does Ron Paul believe in this?
Q: Who owns the Federal Reserve Bank?
A: There are actually 12 different Federal Reserve Banks around the country, and they are owned by big private banks. But the banks don’t necessarily run the show. Nationally, the Federal Reserve System is led by a Board of Governors whose seven members are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
Foreign Banks and the Federal Reserve
Foreign banking institutions, which include foreign bank branches, agencies, and U.S.-chartered bank subsidiaries, hold approximately one-fourth of all commercial banking assets in the United States.
- Wouldn't such a ponzi scheme have collapsed a long time ago? How could it have gone on since 1913?
- Why continue to tax the American public, if you already have unlimited money and can print it anytime? What's the point of the IRS or the income tax amendment?
- If all the trillions of national debt is owed to the banksters, then why don't they just cancel out some of it to help the economy?
- Why would the Federal government allow the banksters to control the entire money supply and issue all currency in the first place? Why would they allow the banksters to own the government itself?
- If the banksters could print unlimited money and had unlimited wealth, then why would they care about getting richer? Why would they start wars for profit?

No because their fiat currency relies on the debt being created. If all the debt was paid in the US, there would not be a single dollar in circulation. You could declare the debt odious and tell them to go blank themselves sure, but that doesn't solve the economic problem now does it?

You don't understand what I mean. I don't mean cancel all the debt. I mean it could at least cancel half of it or part of it. If the money doesn't exist, what do they have to lose? Why can't they just use the eraser from a pencil (figuratively) to erase some of the national debt and help the economy and give people hope again?
Or why doesn't it just lower the interest rate or cancel out the debt created by the interest rates?
Are you all saying that the Fed gives free money to the banks? A friend of mine said his dad started a commercial bank but never got any free money from the Fed. Why?
