The debt based monetary system demands growth or it collapses. That is the nature of the debt based monetary “beast.”

Let me explain.

If I, as a banker doing “God’s Work ™,” lend the economy $20 @ 5% interest, the economy owes me, the Godly Guy, $21 after one year.

But I only created $20 and gave it to the economy. Suckers. The debt is unpayable, unless I, as master of the universe, allow it to be repaid. I can do this two ways:

1. Allow the people in the economy to work for me as my servents so they can earn the $1 I accrued in interest – so they can turn around and give it right back to me, making the $21 paid in full.

2. All the people in the economy to sell me their stuff so they can earn the $1 I accrued in interest – so they can turn around and give it right back to me, making the $21 paid in full.

After one year, though, the jig is up. The monetary fraud is exposed. The economy realizes it has been bankrupted by fraud, enslaved by fraud or asset stripped by fraud.

So, what do I as the “illuminated” God’s worker bee banker do? I create another $20 debt note, AKA, create “growth,” to make the first $20 debt note easily payable within the one year time frame. But the second $20 has even more problems. More “growth” is required.

Now you know why the Fed breaks its “stable prices” mandate and continually inflates the debt money supply.

Oh, and a bailout is when I pocket the $20 and send you the bill for $21, but I won’t tell you that. I’ll tell you I’m doing you a favor – and you will be programmed to believe the media I finance, if not outright own, and they will never bring it up and will distract you with all sorts of cool stuff to keep your eye off the ball, as it were.

As an aside, I’d put Andrew “I killed the bank” Jackson on the $20 debt note so that I could laugh at how clueless our schooling system has made national consumers that they don’t even know Jackson hated banking institutions like the Federal Reserve System that put his face on their $20 debt note.

The problem now is debt saturation. The private sector hit it iin about 2007. Now the government sector is forcing even more debt on a debt saturated private sector.

Well, that’s your problem. Since I’m the banker and the debt is my product… well, I will own you all through monetary fraud soon enough, suckahs!

Oh, I know you won’t like it, but that’s why I financed the purchase of over 1 billions bullets in the former republic America and I’m financing the implementation of militarized police forces. Oh, they will do my dirty bidding, too, unless they want to starve in the credit bubble collapse I’ve engineered to size control of an impoverished America.

Got that? No, you won’t. You have been psychologically and sociologically inoculated to the mathematical truths expressed here. Go on about your business and pretend this 100% fact isn’t real… all the better for my bankster class to impoverish and enslave you, my dears.

This was another fantastic episode. I really liked what both guests had to say. I was also hoping that Dave Gardner, or one of you two hosts would mention the term “voluntary simplicity” while Mr. Gardner talked about how he is earning less, spending less, reducing his ecological footprint, and enjoying more free time. He basically presented an excellent example of choosing simplicity. Some people might say that “green living” or some similar term would suffice, and for describing most of lowering one’s impact, it would. Voluntary simplicity implies freeing up one’s schedule and placing a high value on being able to choose what one does with one’s own time. Well, I just thought that I’d put the term here on this page for others that are interested in reading more about it. There are some great links to be found by searching for voluntary simplicity online.
