banks - quotes and descriptions to inspire creative writing

Love cannot be bought nor sold, and love is the healthy root of our world, our culture, a part of everything that makes life good; love brings trust and the things we can really 'bank on.' These banks, they are ice on our veins, an addiction to all that harms... and I pray that one day we relearn the kind of love that makes them obsolete, that we learn to live, give and love through our deeds, through the work we do everyday for that emotion that cannot be bought nor sold.

Oh my gosh! You’re here! I thought up the best “get rich quick” scheme ever and it’s so simple, so easy. No work really, do you have a printer at home? If not, we can use mine. We’re gonna be richer than Warren Buffet before he got all charitable. Anyway, sit down, make yourself comfortable, I’ve got to be quick. Apparently we’re meeting Dakota soon. So here it is, we’re going to make a new currency called the Squid. Only we can print it, in fact, if anyone else prints any we’re gonna have then in jail for counterfeit, it’s only real when you and I make it.

Now here’s the cool part, when people don’t have enough Squids they come to us for a loan (with interest!) **exciting!** All we do is enter the number of Squids we lend them on a computer screen, no need to even print anything. Then they work their arses off for their whole lives to pay us back in Squids. But that isn’t the best bit of the plan, once we’ve flooded the market with cheap loans we say, “Oh no! Too much inflation,” and raise interest rates, make loans harder. Unemployment will rise and they’ll all start to default on loans. That’s when the real fun starts. We seize their property, houses, land, cars etc. Keep that going a few generations and our families will rule the world! Crazy, right? Oh, hang on, God’s telling me something.

He says that scheme was implemented a long time ago, in fact, that is how the global money system really works. He says there is plenty for everyone on Earth but I should tell you more about that another day. Shit. That mean’s we’re the slaves. Ah, well, I guess I’ll just go back to being God’s messenger angel then. At least saving the world means saving something real, right? I guess that means yesterday we were discussing if we should kill Kitty for digits on a computer screen. Is the whole world nuts? Sometimes I think it is.

[The banks] are the most powerful lobbyists on Capitol Hill, and they, frankly, own the place.

It is well enough that the people of the nation do not understand the banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution by tomorrow morning.

Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy supply can control whole continents; who controls the money can control the world.

Central banks fund all sides of every war. They never lose.

The banksters had us corralled like sheep. We were "too stupid and lazy" to understand finance, too scared of the economy going down hill to make waves. But finally we saw the gig they had going for the simple scam it was. They created money by punching the keys of a keyboard and we all slaved to pay it back. They kept the profits for their mostly privately owned banks, such as the federal reserve, and paid themselves ungodly sums of money which they then convert into real goods - land, fancy cars, the best of everything. The banksters told us the economy needed them, that they must attract the best talent for the sake of us all, that's bulls**t.

The high salaries were to keep their employees greedy enough not to want to change the system, to turn a blind eye to what they were doing to the majority of the population. Then we woke up. We woke up and demanded that only our national bank, government owned, could create our currency and that all profits went into free healthcare, free education, green technology, clean public transit. It turns out there was more than enough money for everything we needed. What happened to the banksters? Let's just ay they're living more modestly now. But how did all this happen? I'm not sure I have time to tell you. Maybe read my diary, it was written in real time. It isn't amazing prose, it'll tell you how we changed everything, saving the world turned out to be easier than anyone suspected.

It's been almost eleven years since we started to wake up. Everything is so wonderful now. I want to fast forward you into our time but I can't because it is you awesome people who makes all of this a reality, thank you all. I've sent this message back to you in 2015 to tell you that we make it, but more than that, I want to tell you what life is like now so you know what needs to be done.

We don't have banks anymore, we have Trusts that give LifeTokens (what you call money), then you pay back the Trust, like an old bank, but the "money" directly pays for free energy, free food, free healthcare and free education. There are no levels of care, everyone gets the same excellent standard. We don't have Government like you do, we have a Public Service Institute, and like the Trust workers they are not allowed access to LifeTokens. These workers get the same standard of living as the rest of the nation and they are respected as servants of God, we see it as a calling, not a route to power. Power corrupts and we built our new systems based on positive feed back loops, or virtuous cycles, that would keep us and the planet safe and healthy.

We don't have prisons like you do. In our system it would be insane to harm another, we have everything we need, so instead there are hospitals where they treat mental health and metabolic disorders. With children being raised right, with Love, life is uplifting, relaxed and more vibrant than anything you know in your time. But hold on, it's just around the corner.

We have music, dance, love, laughter. We learn about our emotions, we learn how to bake bread. We raise animals with Love whether they are chickens or cows, but we eat mostly plants. Without the old food giants poisoning us with refined sugars, fats, excessive salt, colourings and preservatives we aren't fat anymore. We aren't constantly hypoglycaemic, hence less anxiety and violence. So thank you again, from me, from our Creator, you make this possible.

The banks owned the world. After countless cycles of debt acquisition, they'd printed enough money to own it all - all without ever doing a damn thing to earn it.
