At any rate, in the context of this thread, I was just opining that "keystone" is a reference to the Federal Reserve / Treasury.
And yep, money comes from thin air. Nothing wrong with that in principle, as long as the creation and destruction is done in proportion to the needs of commerce, and the "money market" is transparent to the public.
Congress doesn't create the money any more, it has farmed that out to a private bank.
What I meant is obvious, from context.
No - money doesn't come from "thin air". Look at the Fed's H.4.1 report, which is a balance sheet.
Money ("currency") is backed by debt instruments (T-Bills, notes, and bonds).
Debt instruments are a claim on the future labor of citizens - therefore "money" is backed by a claim on that future labor.
International banks and globalist elites do not care how much "money" they own. Instead, they care about how much future labor of others they own. That is the power they seek.
Holland established the first debt-based currency, then England follow in the mid 1690's.
Afghanistan and Iraq were two countries that didn't yet have debt-based currency. That changed after the US invaded them. Their currency systems were converted after control was gained.
