Finance Isn't Commerce.
You wanna know the truth? Then give me 2 minutes here. š
They tell us banking is just another business.
A "service" worthy of its fee.
This is a dangerous illusion.
Hereās why finance is a power system, not a market:
1⣠The Exponential Deception
Compound interest isn't a normal fee. It's a snowball of obligation.
šøThe longer the debt, the richer the banker.
šøThe more indebted society becomes, the more powerful they grow.
This isn't commerce, it's a mathematical trap.
2ā£The Power to Decide the Future
Banks don't just lend money. They pick winners and losers.
Even @realDonaldTrumpās own family got debanked.
By deciding who gets credit (households, businesses, governments), they steer our entire economic and political trajectory.
Their only criteria? Profitability. Not social good. Not ecological survival.
3⣠The Double Win of Debt
The system is perfectly designed:
š¹For them: Exorbitant profits (reaching ~18% of OECD GDP in 2008).
š¹For us: Collective alienation and dependency.
Our national debt is their source of wealth.
Our obligation is their power.
4⣠The Ultimate Takeover: Political Power
Control over money creation is the ultimate control.
When private institutions (or captive central banks) hold this power, it doesn't just influence politics, it becomes politics.
We lose sovereignty over our nation's destiny.
We've surrendered our time, our choices, and our sovereignty to a system designed to concentrate wealth and power.
This isn't a free market. It's a financial oligarchy.
It's time to reclaim the power to create and control money as a public good, for the public good.
