How to understand the very essence of the banking industry:

This is a scene from one of my favourite movies, The International 2009.

I recommend watching the whole movie, but this scene explains why we have wars and will continue to have wars as long as there is money to be made on the debt the wars produce…

Whether it is the war in Ukraine, the never ending conflict in Gaza, or other upcoming conflicts, as long as the banking industry can profit from them, they will continue…

I only feel sorry for people who participate in those conflicts in the name of bs, like nationalism or some other made up bs…

It is as Michael Hudson laid out, and I respectfully, though heavily, edited-down.

Debt at interest is the core mechanism, and supranational lending is the over-arching framework of evil-control.

"All wars are banker's wars" is not a trivial statement.

So, the only way to end this is when money no longer represents any value or give a benefit or advantage, right?

How else can you stop or jail psychopaths like Gates?

Money does not have to be based upon debt/credit. It was not in the past. Money was one thing and debt/credit was another thing. Islamic finance works better with this, with risk sharing, not usury.

The people who get the fresh-created debt-money have the time advantage over all others in the chain of usage, especially if they get it at interest below inflation.

The BRICS+ are working this problem. Russia has opened 5 Islamic finance banks.

I agree… but even credit/debt could work if the love of money, or greed didn’t exist… Some people try to accumulate wealth as if they were to live 1000 years or more…They won’t so what is the point? Most of them don’t even enjoy the wealth they have because they spend all their time feeding greed which is insatiable…

“There is enough for everyone’s need but not enough for everyone’s greed…”

Thank You, Susan. I like and respect and "get" Michael Hudson. I edit him at great expense of my own time, as an act of respect and service.
