Again it is simple yet horrendous, our money law has been corrupted so that it guarantees that a certain percentage of people will be unable to pay the interest on their loans , the money they need is simply never created by the system, so their lives must be destroyed just because they took out a loan Money to pay interest on all loans is just never created , so the loan interest just cannot be paid , the system then repossesses people who never had any chance whatever to not be repossessed. That is simply evil , as evil as the death squads 'disappearing' a percentage of people continually in Nazi Germany , and just as insidious and it happens automatically ,accelerating whenever there is a slump ... The effect on the people is to create the 'rat race' which people have grown used to living in , but also it has given a few people so much money that they now control governments , corrupting laws and controlling our world to favour their personal power , but against the interests of the masses. To even face the challenges of peak oil and climate change one needs mankind acting as one, but this monstrously unjust system we live by sets people against each other ... the first step then is to right the injustice of our system of life , but it can only be done by the divded masses uniting and forcing governments to change the system currently enshrined in laws and running our world. It is a Catch22 situation, the system divided people to abuse them and gained massive power over whole nations, so people now do not feel able to unite to stop it .

Curiously it is trivially simple to solve by means of simply making a law banning interest being charged on loans (and stopping banks from creating money from nothing) …

Everyone hates prices forever rising on things of fixed value and few will think the world slump which now we enter is equally caused directly by our bad laws on money …

But the effect of such a simple thing on societies and civilisations is profoundly evil, it is the single greatest cause of inequality in the world – how does this come about then?

Money to pay interest on all loans is just never created , so the loan interest just cannot be paid , the system then repossesses people who never had any chance whatever to not be repossessed.

That is simply evil , as evil as the death squads ‘disappearing’ a percentage of people continually in Nazi Germany , and just as insidious and it happens automatically ,accelerating whenever there is a slump …
