THE CRIME OF THE CANADIAN BANKING SYSTEM: Bill Abram (part 1

June 20th, 2009

Over the past 4 years, the Canadian people have paid $137.4 billion in interest on money borrowed from private banks whereas the Bank of Canada could legally print the public’s money into existence rather than borrowing it at interest. “They’ve paid out this huge sum because our government has failed to abide by the law.” Abram, a retired high school teacher and activist on Vancouver Island, B.C., explicates the trick of fractional reserve banking (part 1 of a series; snowshoefilms yoryevrah

    Tell me about it, I took an economics class in high school, after watching some you tube videos before taking the course I knew alot of the lieing and scheming that banks did. In our textbooks they had the exact same things but made it look like it was perfectly normal.

    nothing like a “student” trying to act like an expert…NOW I’m no student, but I do have a question for you…i was under the impression that fractional bank lending would allow a bank that has 100 dollars to actually lend out 1000 dollars…is this not correct?

    Economists …
    Economists continually try and sell the public the idea that recessions or depressions are a natural part of what they call the “business cycle”.

    I’m sorry if your favourite economists lied to you. If it’s any consolation we’ve all been had.

    For the record i know what a bond is.
    “It is absurd to say that our country can issue $30,000,000 in bonds and not
    $30,000,000 in currency. Both are promises to pay; but one promise fattens
    the usurer, and the other helps the people. If the currency issued by the
    Government were no good, then the bonds issued would be no good either.” - Thomas Jefferson

    Actually if you …
    Actually if you have $100 in the bank, the bank then turns your $100 deposit into $900 that it can lend to people. Look up fractional reserve.

    It’s not the only …
    It’s not the only explanation. The fractional reserve system is why there is more debt than money in circulation.

    Take some economic courses and you’ll learn the system as a whole. Your reductive logic is consistently flawed.

    Why do they need to …
    Why do they need to show documented proof? There’s no reason why anyone wouldn’t believe them. I don’t understand where you’re coming from.

    Private banks don’t print money. The system is complicated and money is “created” electronically (through fractional reserves).

    I can understand if you are opposed to the fractional reserve system but most of the other things mentioned here don’t make sense.

    Don’t forget, if you have $100 in a savings account that is $100 of debt the bank owes you.

    i pressed spam by accident. You’re right .i forgot about fractional reserve banking. These are very seriuos accusations that people are making. So, if private bankers aren’t printing 95% of the $ & charging interest on it, then the government should show us documented evidence prooving that they are not. otherwise we’ll have to ume that they are. They should also show us where each individual person’s tax $ goes.

    The reason debt …
    The reason debt exceeds currency in circulation is cause of the fractional reserve system.

    If the bank of canda prints $100 for me and I start a bank with $100 and there’s a fractional reserve of 20%, Ill be able to lend out $80. That $80 will then be deposited at another bank which will be allowed to lend out $64 of that and so on The mathematical end result is that the $100 becomes $457.05 into the economy. $357.05 will be debt (money owed from 1 institution/person to another)

    You make statements …
    You make statements like “one of the most common umptions”… but you dont understand. I do not make umptions, I’m an economics student not some guy who watched documentaries produced by people who are uneducated on the topic.

    You’ve acted like you understand the system but you’ve said at least 3 things that are completely false (BoC is private, Canada doesn’t print it’s own money, national debt is owed to the BoC).

  23. Comment by smcmillan88

    Every government …
    Every government keeps foreign government ets as a monetary policy tool. Every major world country IS in debt to eachother which is actually a good thing if you understand monetary policy.

    But this is only a small fraction of the total debt. As I said earlier institutions and average people foreign or domestic can buy the bonds which puts our government in debt.

    The only …
    The only explanation for the amount of world debt to exceed the the amount of money in circulation is that someone has been charging interest rates. Who charges interst rates? Private banks.

    Charging interest rates was punishable by death once upon a time.

    One of the most …
    One of the most common umptions is that national governments owe debts to each other. But that would mean there must be large, rich countries out there loaning money, with their own treasuries “in the black”. Can you name any? It’s not Canada, with our national debt measured in billions of dollars. It’s not the United States, with their national debt measured in trillions of dollars. Most European countries fare no better. And third world countries can barely maintain the necessities of life.
