The history of central banking is basically the enslavement of mankind and harnessing our potential for private profit as opposed to unleashing human ingenuity. Hitler and the Natsocs are a chapter in the history of central banking along with Ghaddafi, and Saddam Hussein and now Ukraine.
The only way to oppose economic-power is through collective political power of a body politic.

Money is loaned into existence. The money we use is called “demand deposits.” The bank owes you money on-demand. Banks can only create demand deposits by lending. They add a deposit into the borrower’s account, which is a liability to the bank, and they add the present value of the loan to their asset sheet. The difference between the interest they pay on deposits and the interest they get on loans (in present value) is the third part of the balance sheet, shareholder equity.

When you do demand your money, the bank gives you cash. Cash is Federal Reserve notes. That’s a printed receipt for a demand deposit held at a Federal Reserve bank. Those demand deposits are also loaned into existence when the Federal Reserve banks buy Treasury bonds from their primary dealer banks. The Federal Reserve banks credit the dealer banks with demand deposits in their Federal Reserve bank accounts, and add the demand deposit liability and the Treasury asset to their balance sheet.

Because money can only be created by lending, there will always be more total debt in existence than money at any given time. In order to pay this year’s debt, someone somewhere must always borrow more. So the amount of total debt compounds, along with the share of GDP going toward paying interest. Those compounding interest expenses get baked into prices as businesses play catch-up with their ever-rising financing costs. Inflation is the cost of interest being passed down to consumers. It is built into the system structurally and will compound continuously until there’s no longer enough new production to keep up with financing costs.

No, because they HAVE printed when the currency was backed and they'll do it again. It doesn't matter what you back currency with. The number one valuable thing of a currency is the model by which the supply increases and how it's distributed. People gravitated towards shiny rocks because we traded in shiny rocks and thus supply was hard to tamper with. That system is incompatible with the world in its current state. Backing the currency is useless when the distributor of the currency controls that circulation and can do what it wants. The absolute best system is a system in which the rules of said currency are set in stone and cannot be modified. At its core, your currency SHOULD reflect the labor of your country and it is backed by the faith that you can turn your labor into currency and exchange it for goods and services. That's the whole point of currency. Going to the gold standard would do us fuck all. Hence why the best system is something like Bitcoin where the rules are set in stone. You can sleep peacefully knowing that your currency won't be turned into firewood because some jew wanted to give money to basketball Americans.

federal govt spends money into existence:

So what is the purpose of T-securities, the total of which erroneously is called “debt”? T-security accounts”

They allow holders of unused dollars to store them in a safe, interest-paying account, which stabilizes the dollar
They help the Fed control interest rates.

That’s it. The purpose is not to provide the federal government with spending dollars. The government creates all it needs. All federal spending is done with newly created dollars. No spending uses the dollars in T-security accounts.

For this reason, the size of the misnamed “debt” is irrelevant. Whether total deposits equal $100 or $100 TRILLION, the government has the same real ability to return them to depositors.

These two are correct.

Money in the modern day is created by private bank loans, with the actual ability to create money limited only by required reserve ratios.

A bank does not actually need 500k to lend you a mortgage, they just write you a loan for 500k and then mark it as a liability on their balance sheet. As long as their assets and liabilities are still above the required reserve ratio they are golden. They are given the ability to print new currency essentially.

This is mostly controlled via the treasury by the office of the comptroller of the currency, which is the office that determines the legality of a banks balance sheet. The OCC is far more ingrained in the market than most people think actually, the OCC is the department that controls investment banks reserves and approves stuff like what risk calculations banks can use to compute exposure via OTC derivatives, as well as enforce the Basel accord on banks.

This is because investment banks are monolithic entities since the mid 90’s that combine the cash reserve power of corporate and retail banking with the cash yield behavior of traditional investment banking.

no. the survival constraint of the system is whether the loans get paid back or not. if the bank makes a loan and it does not get paid back the bank can and will go bankrupt. financial institutions tend to extend too much credit that sometimes will not be paid back and that is why we have credit cycles and business cycles. there is no real central control except discipline and constraints imposed through the way the system has evolved.

Pegged deflationary currencies like gold and bitcoin have two problems that can be devastating to economies.

First is that with every economic cycle wealth will concentrate at some point in the production chain. All market entities want profits, and sucessfull entities human or companies, will accumulate some wealth diluting the circulating supply and increasing value.

Once you have a currency that goes up in value it becomes an ivestment and people will start hoarding it creating a deflationary spiral that tanks the economy ala 1929.

The fundamental issue is that you need a currency to reflect the increases in economic activty so that new technologies and extra work and productivity is properly rewarded. Minimal inflation is healthy for the economy. It makes sure money is not an ivestment and forces people to spend.

The problem is when the people in power decide they can cheat the system by magicking way too much money into existance and pretend there won't be consequences.

And you wonder why God banned usury. I’d much prefer a system without lending, where equity stakes are the only way to raise capital. That seems intuitively more fair. The financier shares in the marginal risk of the investment. It’s not an all-or-nothing bet on whether the recipient defaults or not. Not only does that prevent credit expansion beyond the demand for spending, which historically causes bank failures, it also ensures a stable-value unit of exchange since the dollar can’t be created for any purpose other than funding new production which was its sole purpose. If every new dollar created by the central government is spent on new production, there are no inflationary nor deflationary pressures. People could only buy what they can actually afford. So after a transitory period of suffering and chaos, we’d settle into a world of fair market value. Imagine a house costing $30k instead of $600k, and a loaf of bread costing $1 instead of $5, people could easily afford the necessities of life without being enslaved by debt. That’s called sovereign fiat, that’s what half the world banded together to defeat through the bloodiest war in history.

No that’s incorrect anon. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is directly in charge of collecting balance sheet information from banks to audit them and ensure that they actually have the cash on hand that they say they have and that the loans are legitimate and not underwater. This includes valuing various assets, and confirming that the asset valuations means the company is solvent, and is not just debiting funds out of thin air to client accounts.

You’re naive, banks are large multinational conglomerates these days that are not beholden to any single person, as most companies are. Any individual cog in a company is extremely willing to sacrifice stability for personal gain, all the way to the top. These systems are necessary to ensure that these companies are not being cannabalized by its constituents.

Look into the formation of Citigroup and how modern banking works, seriously. The OCC and similar audits are necessary, as banks are allowed to create money and could theoretically just debit themselves new electronic funds without any oversight, they can counterfeit

To create goods you need to thousands of people are working together

Just by printing out money you ain't created any new goods. The amount of goods remains same. So you got more money to get goods, and that means that only the first ones who'd get that money will be able to get goods at previous price.
