You have been brain washed your whole life and so have I to believe what you just posted. I didn’t wake up until 2008 and I was in the banking /lending industry for 30 years.

We are similar to the old Roman Empire.

The Empire still had a Senate, but it’s not clear what the Senate was there for. The Emperor (and the Army) seemed to call all the shots. The Senators were just there to feel important and to get rich.

Our own Senate won’t manage monetary policy, or declare war or pass a real budget. They are just there to feel important and to get rich.

Of course, our situation is worse — because in Rome, the Emperor usually exercised authority, for better or worse. Under our system, our government “runs itself” in mysterious ways and the President is not involved. I think the government ignored both Trump and Biden — for two different reasons, but in each case the Deep State shrugged them off and said, “forget about that guy, he doesn’t matter”.

The answer is both. While the Board of Governors is an independent government agency, the Federal Reserve Banks are set up like private corporations.”

Like private corporations that turn over all their earnings to the US Treasury.

That’s how “We The People” get cut out of the deal.

Except “We The People” get all the earnings.

The Federal Reserve is intended to transfer wealth from the population to the rich.

How do they do it?

Page 27, “When a borrower cannot repay and there are no assets which can be taken to compensate, the bank must write off that loan as a loss. However, since most of the money originally was created out of nothing and cost the bank nothing except bookkeeping overhead, there is little of tangible value that is actually lost. It is primarily a bookkeeping entry”
