HOW THE BANKS CREATE MONEY: “It has been told that every bank loan creates adeposit. . . Therefore in granting a loan or overdraft a new deposit has been created somewhere in the banking systemand its money stock increases.” Maurice Allais, 1988 Nobel Prize Winner in Economics: “In essence, the present creation<strong>of</strong> money, out <strong>of</strong> nothing, by the banking system is similar to the creation <strong>of</strong> money by counterfeiters, so rightlycondemned by law. In concrete terms, it leads to the same results.” J.K. Galbraith, 1975, in “<strong>Money</strong>, Whence It Came,Where It Went”, Penguin Books, London, p.29: “The process by which banks create money is so simple that the mind isrepelled.”What can we do about all this? Fortunately, viewed purely as a technical problem there's a way to fix the problem fairlyeasily, speedily, and without any serious financial problems. We can get our county totally out <strong>of</strong> debt in 1-2 years bysimply paying <strong>of</strong>f U.S. bonds with debt-free U.S. Notes (or Treasury Department Deposits convertible to U.S. Notes) - justlike Lincoln issued. Of course, that by itself would create tremendous inflation, since our currency is presently multipliedby the fractional reserve banking system. But here's the ingenious solution advanced in part by Milton Friedman, andothers, to keep the money supply stable and avoid inflation and deflation while the debt is retired. As the Treasury buysup its bonds on the open market with U.S. Notes, the reserve requirements <strong>of</strong> your hometown local bank will beproportionally raised so the amount <strong>of</strong> money in circulation remains constant. As those holding bonds are paid <strong>of</strong>f in U.S.Notes, they will deposit this money, thus making available the currency then needed by the banks to increase theirreserves. Once all the U.S. bonds. are replaced with U.S. Notes, banks will be at 100% reserve banking, instead <strong>of</strong> thefractional reserve system currently in use. From that point on, the former Fed buildings will only be needed as centralclearing houses for checks, and as vaults for U.S. Notes. The Federal Reserve Act will no longer be necessary, and couldbe repealed. Monetary power would be under government control. There would be no further creation or contraction <strong>of</strong>money by banks. By doing it this way, our national debt can be paid <strong>of</strong>f in a single year or so, and the Fed and fractionalreserve banking abolished without national bankruptcy, financial collapse, inflation or deflation, or any significant changein the way the average American goes about his business.To the average person, the primary difference would be that for the first time since the Federal Reserve Act was passed in1913, taxes would begin to go down and inflation would cease, preserving the value <strong>of</strong> their savings, wages and fixedincomes. Now there's a real national blessing for you, rather than for Hamilton's banker friends. Without their awfulmoney-creating power, the <strong>Money</strong> Changers would gradually lose their political control and clout. Of course, their massmedia control is another issue, but even it depends on their massive money-creating power. Now, let's take a look atthese proposals in more detail. Bill Still and McCormack (http://www.themoneymasters.com)have drafted a proposed<strong>Money</strong> Reform Act as follows:1. Pay <strong>of</strong> the national debt with debt-free U.S. Notes (or Treasury department credits convertible to U.S. Notes). AsThomas Edison put it, if the U.S. can issue a dollar bond, it can issue a dollar bill. They both rest purely on the good faithand credit <strong>of</strong> the U.S. This amounts to a simple substitution <strong>of</strong> one type <strong>of</strong> government obligation for another. One bearsinterest, the other doesn't. Federal Reserve Notes could be used for this as well, but could not be printed after the Fed isabolished, as we propose, so we suggest using U.S. Notes instead, as Lincoln did.2. Abolish Fractional Reserve Banking. As the debt is paid <strong>of</strong>f, the reserve requirements <strong>of</strong> all banks and financialinstitutions would be raised proportionally at the same time to absorb the new U.S. Notes and prevent inflation, whichwould be deposited and become the banks' increased reserves. At the end <strong>of</strong> the first year, or so, all <strong>of</strong> the national debtwould be paid, and we could start enjoying the benefits <strong>of</strong> full-reserve banking. The Fed would be obsolete, ananachronism. This same approach would work equally well in Canada, England and in virtually all debt-based, centralbank controlled economies.The Hidden <strong>History</strong> Of <strong>Money</strong> & New World Order Usury Secrets Revealed at last!
