The \u201cBusiness\u201d of Central Banking\u2014Usury and Tax Farming<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

Central banking is \u201ca great business to be in, where you print money, and people believe it.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what the head of New Zealand\u2019s central bank said recently in an unscripted moment of candor.<\/p>\n

It led me to wonder about the nature of this strange \u201cbusiness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Let me put it into the simplest and most concise terms.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Central banks create fake money out of thin air and loan it to governments at interest.<\/li>\n
  2. Governments use violence and threats of violence to extract taxes from average citizens to pay the interest on the fake money the central banks created out of thin air.<\/li>\n
  3. Like the mafia, they can deploy violence to ensure there is no competition to their privileged racket.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That\u2019s the unvarnished truth about central banking.<\/p>\n

    In short, it\u2019s the business of usury and tax farming.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    (To me, a more practical modern meaning of usury is \u201censlaving people with financial trickery.\u201d Central banking clearly fits the bill.)<\/p>\n

    The central bank is a powerful wealth transfer mechanism that enables governments to harvest the productive efforts of their citizens efficiently and surreptitiously.<\/p>\n

    The central bank\u2019s currency debasement transfers wealth from savers to those closest to the money printer, namely governments and their cronies.<\/p>\n

    The central bank\u2019s real mandate is to transfer as much wealth as possible via currency debasement to the political class without causing alarm among the plebs. Ideally, it happens gradually so nobody notices, like a child taking only a little money out of his mother\u2019s purse each day so she doesn\u2019t notice.<\/p>\n

    However, sometimes their theft spirals out of control, and it\u2019s impossible for the plebs not to notice.<\/p>\n

    Consider this.<\/p>\n

    The Federal Reserve\u2014the central bank of the US\u2014has printed more fake money in recent years than it has for its entire existence.<\/p>\n
