    Your challenge at the 30 second mark: Describe the Federal Reserve in a single sentence. Since I have studied this act from before you were born, I can do it in 1 word. The new-view description of the Fed in 1 word is: transducer.
    All Central bank corporations have been set up as transducers. A transducer is a machine that transforms one type of energy into another. An example is a microphone which takes air vibrations from the announcer’s voice and transforms it to electrical energy.
    The Jekyll Island Banker’s transducer is hidden within the concept called borrowing the National Debt. The key point to appreciate is that the thing that is “loaned'' by central banks is different from the thing that is “collected” as repayment from borrowers. The difference is the transduction.
    In the original version, the Bank of England Corporation loaned a Liability-Side-Credit (deposit) that increased the king and queens account balance. The transduction is the king and queen paid back their loan with the gold collected as taxes from its citizens.
    The great thing for the Bank of England Corporation is they loaned an entry on an accounting paper and were then paid back with gold. I call this transduction the Paper Money for Gold Franchise. Bankers put paper in one end of a loan, and gold came out the other end.
    Today, The 5 Fed Banks that filed a Comptroller of Currency Certificate of Organization (not the 12 co-op banks) buys Treasury Bonds with Fed Funds but is paid back with Demand Deposits. You probably don’t get this because universities don’t concentrate on the classifications of different fiat money authorizations. The point being that although Fed funds are Lawful Money because they originated as Clearing-House Certificates in the 1864 National Currency Act, they are only Lawful Money while on deposit in a Reserve Bank. The fact is Fed funds aren’t authorized to function as Legal Tender. The point is that citizens pay back the Treasury Bond with Demand Deposits, which are Legal Tender. Then the 5 Fed Banks (that filed a Comptroller of Currency Certificate of Organization) can exchange the Legal Tender for anything for sale in the US.
    In review; the Fed Banker’s transduce a Liability-Side-Credit in the Fed funds book into a Liability-Side-Credit in the Demand Deposits book. Consider this a type of money laundering. That's one of the tricks the Jekyll Island Banker’s built into the 1913 Fed Act text.
    The money laundering aspect is why my one word description of the Fed is: Transducer.

      Nice analysis. I like the concept of transducer. Combining that with @Molly Gardens below, I would say that what the Fed does (as with all money-schemes) is transforms our lives into a abstraction that it then transfers to a very small minority. A conduit, perhaps, that transfers our lives into their opulence and excess wealth.

      @gboundrepublictv7564 Před 7 měsíci

      Exactly so that's why it's against public policy to demand payment in a particular form of coin or currency. Money of exchange is not necessary to settle money of account obligations. It is also unlawful to have foreign private negotiable instrument law to dictate public policy. It is considered a form of treason without remedy, which is built into the jargon of the Federal Reserve Act if you can decipher the language. It seems like a great system, and noone should be poor if you know how to function in banking minus all the propaganda. Banks have power to borrow money and pay interest. So who is really the creditor in these transactions???? It's a tricky game

I was going to use more leader dots but thought it might run off the screen. Just my opinion if it matters.

    I think there is an easy answer to the question of whether the Fed operates as a syndicate or a cartel- are its balance sheets transparent and open to the public? If not, even if it were not created as a cartel, human nature and the protection of secrecy would ensure that it become one.

I just looked through all of the Human Design charts (family and friends) that I recently entered into the Human Design App. and it appears that I am the only one out of us having the #15 filled. It is colored all the way to the block beneath it. Scary. This is making me dizzy. Lol. Thank you for your videos. They are helpful for learning about this system.

    CARTEL, because these banks are corporations whose obligation is to produce profit for its investors. There is a conflict of interest if serving the public interests threatens the profits of the shareholders.
