    Bankers in Our Sights

    12 December 2006

    When any ordinary citizen acquires money from us without giving us anything in exchange, not even a smile, we regard that person as a thief or a rogue or a con man. But if this scoundrel calls himself a banker, we doff our cap and award him a stately home to live in.

    Private financiers such as bankers are allowed by law and by Parliament to create new money out of nothing and allow us to borrow it as credit. By time you add interest on to the deal, the financier has a very rich profit. When he compounds his felony by using his ill-gotten gains to gamble on the stock exchange, with inside knowledge and take over and rob the assets of his victims, he can award himself for Christmas, a bonus of billions of pounds or dollars.

    From the comfort of his armchair, he can watch the rest of us tighten our belts, hoist up our taxes and sweat a lot harder for his benefit.

    These financiers own the Press and the Media, so they never get lynched. This money making racket has developed into an enormous and highly successful industry, which has no product. They produce nothing for sale, not even a smile. But we pay them enormous sums for working so terribly hard at the business of robbing us and our marines of their war pay.
