The fact is that money is a social contract, not a commodity. A medium, not a store.

Blood is a medium, fat is a store. They serve different functions. To store the asset side of the ledger, there has to be a debt to back it. All that infinite debt is to sustain the illusion of money as more than just community tokens.

It doesn't have our picture on it, we don't hold the copyrights and are not responsible for its value, like a personal check.

As a medium, we own it like we own the section of road we are on, or the air and water flowing through our bodies. It is a public utility, like roads.

Government, as executive and regulatory function, is like the nervous system of the state, while money and banking are like blood and the circulation system.

The problem is that with public government and private banking, the banks own the politicians.

That's why they seem so completely bought. Because they are. Their only real job is running up the debt the banks need to grow metastatically.
