- Facts Are Facts on the Fed. The Citizens allow the bank to print $500 billion in currency (cash). The bank pays for printing costs, ink, and paper. The Citizens do not charge the bank any interest for use of the $500 billion in printed currency. The bank uses the $500 billion cash to buy a $500 billion government bond which pays the bankers interest. The bank keeps some of the bonds and sells, for a fee (10%), some of the bonds to the public. The bank can buy back the bonds from the public simply by printing more money. The bankers can create inflation and depressions by manipulating the amount of currency in circulation. The FED operates exactly like this today. It also prints money (through the U.S. Treasury) and uses this printed money to buy loans from other banks. This money has created our inflation. We give the bank cash interest-free, then they charge us interest on our own currency.
- In the 1930s, a back door was installed in the Fed, so the elites could easily and secretly steal money from it. What is the back door? It is the Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF), which is attached to the New Yorkj branch of the Fed. On paper, the ESF was to maintain the value of the dollar, and to that end, was authorized to requisition money in virtually any amount from the Fed, and not have to account for where the money went. And guess what – the ESF is under the direct control of the Secretary of the Treasury (currently Mnuchin). In the past, this has been used to funnel untold billions to the world banking elites. But now, the Treasury is taking the money. No previous president dared to do this, because they were all members of The Club, or at least under The Club’s thumb. But Trump is not a part of The Club, which has be vigorously opposing him since he announced his candidacy. And now Trump has taken their cash cow, and is letting the Treasury milk it. And there is little the Fed can do about it.
