Money as Debt

This is a 47 minute animated video that explains money and banking. It's something none of us learned in school. (Many on this forum do understand the importance of this issue.) It's therefore very foreign to our thinking and for many difficult to believe and/or understand. When you do really understand what has happened it becomes easier to understand the dire straits we are in and the need to stifle any serious public discussion or debate about it.

You may be just one more that will begin to understand it and to educate others, especially your family and friends. But remember, it will be almost like convincing people to believe red is really green. Clearly there is a dangerous lack of understanding of money and banking and very powerful forces will stop at nothing to see that it continues.

This will also explain why Ron Paul and more importantly the message he is bringing to the public will be stifled and ultimately stopped if possible. He understands this grave situation better than the vast majority of government officials, elected or appointed. More important and potentially dangerous for him personally is that he is one of a scant few willing to warn average citizens and inform them of the economic facts. Without knowledgeable citizens being educated in the truth and without a major change in focus and direction, our monetary system and more importantly our nation is in its final days.

Armed with the knowledge about money and economics is the only way average citizens could ever hope to make informed decisions about who should lead this nation and in what direction. Clearly the majority of people if well informed in truth would prefer serious discussion and debate about the future of our nation rather than catchy, meaningless sound bites and campaign rhetoric.

Until the people of our nation are well informed and educated about our monetary and economic policy we will continue to be manipulated and deceived by the powerful people that control our money and banking, and through them our government, our foreign policy and our entire way of life. Even most people in the banking business do not know and understand the history, mechanics or ramifications of the fractional reserve banking system.

Ron Paul clearly understands this issue and understands that the cruelest tax on the average American citizen is the "inflation tax" that occurs with the devaluing of their money. He understands that our nation has seriously strayed from the bounds placed on our government by the constitution and the need to restore those constitutional bounds placed on government. If not it is our very freedom and liberty that is at stake.

Regardless if you are a Christian or not you will be affected by the evils that lurk in our monetary and economic system. Monetary policy should especially be of utmost importance to any Christian. Our founding fathers were in fact well informed and knowledgeable about money. (Read the US Constitution Article 1 Section 8.) They understood the following! What is your church saying about it?

The Money Changers

During the time of the New Testament, Jerusalem was under Roman occupation (see Ancient Empires - Rome), and Roman money was in common use. The Jewish authorities however required that only Hebrew money was acceptable payment for the Temple tax. So, money changers were allowed to set up tables and benches (the English word bank is derived from the word bench) for themselves in the court of the Gentiles where they exchanged not just local Roman money, but also foreign currency from distant travelers, for shekels. Along with them were peddlers who sold animals, birds and various items for worship and sacrifice.
The money changers profited greatly from the exchange rates that they charged worshipers for shekels to pay the priests, and then from the priests to convert it back into Roman money - they were "cashing in" from both ends. They also profited exorbitantly from loans that they made - with interest rates up to 300 per cent. While there is nothing wrong with capitalism, or providing a useful and convenient banking service, these particular "bankers" were greedy profiteers who cared nothing about using God's Temple, and His worshipers, as a means to get rich.

It was the sight of this Temple "market" that triggered the only recorded incident in the human lifetime of Jesus Christ in which He reacted in a violent manner toward anyone -

"And they came to Jerusalem. And He entered the Temple [see Temples] and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the Temple, and He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons; and He would not allow any one to carry anything through the Temple. And He taught, and said to them, "Is it not written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers." (Mark 11:15-17 RSV)
