If creating new money doesn't cause inflation, why is counterfeiting illegal? If new money doesn't affect the economy, why can't anyone just print as much as they want?
Banks conjure money from nothing, and you pay the interest on that conjuring. This is fractional reserve banking: your deposit of $1,000 becomes the legal basis for the bank to lend out $9,000 it doesn't possess, collecting interest on the full sum while you earn 0.4% on your savings account.
This mechanism is elegant fraud, if you're generous. The bank holds reserves, say 10%, and lends the remainder. That lent money gets deposited elsewhere, becoming reserves for another round of lending. One dollar of base money fans outward into a pyramid of credit. Murray Rothbard calculated that a 10% reserve ratio allows a single $1,000 deposit to support $10,000 in total deposits across the system.
This expansion creates purchasing power that competes with your existing dollars. Your savings are diluted as surely as a counterfeiter working in your neighborhood. Prices rise. You feel poorer because you are poorer.
The Federal Reserve, established in 1913, backstops the entire structure. Banks lend recklessly because the Fed stands ready to bail out the system with freshly printed reserves. Privatized profits, socialized losses. The 2008 crisis saw the Fed expand its balance sheet from $900 billion to over $2 trillion within months, and you bore the inflationary consequences.

Central banks have been handed independence and used it to become the unaccountable core of the system. This is what banking tyranny looks like , the literally domination of power by the banking elites taken to the point the country literally collapses .
Liz Truss is right: they have grown megalomaniacal. The governor of the Bank of England can’t be sacked; a prime minister can. That is not a technical detail. It is the actual power arrangement.
The mechanism and motivation is financialisation. It’s the core purpose of banking and in its current form it threatens the states existence .
Basel rules force banks to hold far more capital against a factory loan than against a mortgage.
Inflation targets treat rising house and land prices as “asset transfers,” not inflation, so rates never cool the boom.
Credit is therefore created against the existing housing stock and financial assets, the renter class, while industrial capacity is starved. Bankers literally live in ivory towers so they don’t notice till late in the cycle .
Workers’ wages are financialised into rents, mortgages and debt service. The West has been deindustrialised to the point it can no longer make what it needs. Bankers add no productive capacity to the society at all other than pulling forward production or asset inflation through debt .
This is the Tindale Trap conceit : maintaining financial dominance together with a material conversion failure. This bifurcation literally leaves the state with no productive capacity to to maintain sovereign existence .
Like draining blood you eventually get to weak to respond .
Truss tried a growth agenda that cut against the orthodoxy. The Bank’s timing of gilt sales, the LDI structures it regulated, and the narrative that followed removed her.
Independence was sold as insulation from politics. It has instead insulated a credit-allocation regime that privileges financialisation over production and protects itself against elected challenge. The direction of credit is the mechanism, and the political outcome is exactly what Truss is pointing to.
We live under a global banking dictatorship
In my Substack analysis at rwerner.substack.com I show how exactly the Bank of England toppled a sitting Prime Minister.
Ex-PM Liz Truss deserves all credit for her courage to battle the unaccountable central planners & not being intimidated by their vast but covert powers.

Noah, you've written an entire emotional sermon without addressing a single principle I raised.
You acknowledge private property, individual rights, and voluntary trade, then dismiss them as abstractions because reality contains suffering.
Of course it does. The question is what causes that suffering, what alleviates it, and whether violating individual rights makes anything better.
You point to every injustice committed in a society with private ownership and declare capitalism responsible, regardless of whether the injustice violated capitalist principles.
Then you advocate concentrating economic power in the hands of politicians, apparently imagining that the people wielding it will suddenly become immune to corruption, favoritism, and self-interest.
You don't get to redefine capitalism by its violations while defining socialism by its aspirations.
And invoking the suffering of others doesn't relieve you of the obligation to demonstrate that your proposed solutions would improve their lives.
Compassion without reason is no substitute for either.
Are you even thinking when you type, Rick? You realize that all you did was exactly what I said you toadies do in the op?
Look. I know you’re going through a hard time right now, son. I would assume such a thing would at least give you pause for a bit of humanity to come through. You’re so obsessive about wanting to hold the Epstein class’s pockets all day long that you can’t even think about the thousands upon thousands of your fellow Americans that have family in YOUR position and loved ones who have died because of how parasitic the healthcare and insurance industries are?
This isn’t just an intellectual game where you can ignore the reality and think in abstractions for them. Or for most people. The real world matters.
And when all you do is ignore every terrible thing that happens in capitalism because it isn’t about the random abstractions you want to believe make up the entire system, you insult the memory of each American who has died because of it. You insult the memory of people like Martin Luther King Jr., who was murdered for trying to make people better off within it. The memory of every slave who was turned into property because it could profit the pre-Epstein Epstein class.
You’re so stuck in these abstractions and your need to redefine the real world away to defend the word “capitalism” that you’ve lost your humanity in the process.
And I find that absolutely tragic.
All it would take is a SINGLE honest moment from you. A SINGLE one. And you can begin to get it back. It doesn’t have to be with me. I understand social media dynamics and your inability to be honest with me. But to yourself at the very least.
Really think. Actually hold the dogmas you believed up to scrutiny. You’re smart enough to realize they’re wrong.

I distinctly remember multiple cities getting burned down all summer and having Black Lives Matter force fed into every sporting event for two years straight.
Not one of them has said a word about Brian Cole Jr.
No Al Sharpton. No protests. No media coverage. No press conferences.
Nada.
An autistic black guy got framed for terrorism and has sat in a jail cell for over a year. Video evidence appears to exonerate him completely. None of them care even slightly.
Worse, Trump has let one of his supporters rot so that the CIA can get away with a false flag on American soil meant to criminalize the entire MAGA movement.
It's one of the biggest scandals in American history and it barely makes a sound.

You absolute midwit. Congrats on repeating the Wikipedia "Nazis were far-right, end of story" summary you absorbed between TikToks.
Yes, the Nazis crushed independent unions, jailed and murdered communists and social democrats, and Hitler liquidated the Strasserite "left" wing of his own party in the Night of the Long Knives. That part is not in dispute. They were not Marxist class-struggle socialists. They hated Bolshevism as a Jewish plot and treated international socialism as the main enemy. Fine.
What your middle-school history class skipped is that they still ran a National *Socialist* state: private property existed only as long as it served the Führer’s racial and war goals, wages and prices were controlled, industry was cartelized under state direction, profit was subordinated to the party, and the economy was planned for autarky and rearmament. That is not free-market capitalism, liberal conservatism, or classical right-wing economics. It is the same family of state-directed, anti-liberal, collectivist economics practiced by every other fascist and "national socialist" regime. The name was not a prank; the 25-point program and the early rhetoric were full of anti-capitalist planks precisely because they were competing with the actual socialists for working-class support.
Your North Korea comparison is the usual gotcha and it is only half-clever. Yes, names can lie. But the NSDAP did not merely call itself socialist while secretly running a Rothschild hedge fund. They nationalized, directed, rationed, and regimented. The difference from Soviet socialism was mainly that the Nazis kept the owners as managers under party orders instead of shooting them all and installing commissars. Both systems produced shortages, secret police, and mass graves; one just had better uniforms and Wagner.
Elon pointing out the obvious—that "National Socialist" is not an ironic branding exercise and that the regime was economically left of any classical liberal or conservative—does not make him a moron. It makes him less obedient to the post-1945 academic consensus that insists every totalitarian who isn’t a full Marxist must be filed under "far-right" so the left never has to share the body count. Money didn’t buy him a brain; it just bought him a platform where he doesn’t have to pretend your selective reading of 1930s Germany is the complete picture.
Keep yelling "far-right fascists" while ignoring the actual economic policies and the party’s own name. It is the historical equivalent of covering your ears and shouting.

Socialism rewards power. When resource allocation, production, and distribution are centralised, power inevitably concentrate in the hand of those who control the central bureaucracy.
Capitalism rewards value creation. To prosper, you must produce something that others are willing to forego alternative consumption to obtain.

Taxes are the price you pay to live in an uncivilized society where you fund by force the worst atrocities and inefficiencies instead of having free choice on how best to contribute to society.
The price of not paying them is prison.

Hard disagree. If you are paying property taxes, you don't own your house, you're just renting it.
If I want other government services, they should be with a flat fee. Or said services should be privatized. Frankly, most should be privatized.
The reason the government services are so crappy is there is no incentive to change them, since they get paid no matter what.

France keeps electing governments that promise order while building the exact machinery that produces chaos.
The pattern is old. The 1968 uprising paralyzed Paris because de Gaulle had spent a decade expanding state payrolls, suppressing price signals, and convincing the French that prosperity required a bureaucrat's signature.
By 2005, the banlieues around Paris burned for three weeks. Clichy-sous-Bois, Aulnay-sous-Bois, hundreds of torched cars every night. The state had warehoused North African immigrants in subsidized housing blocks, disconnected from labor markets by minimum wage laws priced above their marginal productivity, and handed them welfare checks just generous enough to eliminate the urgency of assimilation.
That combination guarantees a poverty trap.
Today, with immigration remaining a central tension and pension expenditures consuming 14% of GDP, France runs the same experiment expecting different results.
You pay into a system your entire working life and receive benefits calibrated to political survival rather than actuarial reality. Meanwhile, each new transfer payment handed to recent arrivals without reciprocal labor market access breeds exactly the resentment politicians then exploit.
Open borders and a welfare state cannot coexist. Either migrants enter a free labor market and compete on merit, building genuine stakes in French civil society, or the state subsidizes parallel communities that have no economic reason to integrate. France consistently chooses the latter, then acts surprised at the friction.
Bastiat diagnosed this in 1850. The French state still hasn't read him.

A socialist complaining about the rising cost of living is like an arsonist complaining that his fingers smell of gasoline.
And naturally, his proposed solution is more gasoline.

Property taxes are evil. The government is forcing you to continue paying them for something you own -- and will take it away if you DON'T pay them.
Something. You. OWN.

Many in the comments are saying: "The French voted for this."
Fine. Now ask yourself a better question.
Why is it the same story in every Western country at once? France, Germany, Sweden, the UK, Belgium, Canada. Different languages, different histories, different voters. Same outcome. Same open-border policies, sold in the same beautiful packaging: progress, inclusion, integration, "our values."
When dozens of peoples who never coordinated end up with the exact same policy, it wasn't the peoples who decided. It was the class that governs all of them. Same schools, same forums, same networks. For decades, they have systematically lied to Europeans about what was happening and what it would cost.
They tried it with you too, America. You came close. What saved you was your Constitution, and a handful of people like Elon Musk and the All-In crew who refused to stay quiet when silence would have been easier.
But don't celebrate too early.
The West is not a country. It's a civilization. Athens, Rome, Jerusalem, and every nation that inherited or built on what came out of them: Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia, Israel, and allies like Japan who share its institutions and its fate.
If Europe falls, you don't get to watch from across the ocean. You lose half your civilization, your oldest allies, the cradle of everything you believe in. Nobody on either side of the Atlantic has any interest in waking up to an Islamist Europe.
So understand that this fight has two levels.
There is the national fight. Every people has to win its own battle at home, at the ballot box, in its own institutions, under its own laws. No one can do it for us. You can't vote in France, and we can't vote in Ohio.
And there is the civilizational fight. The West is under attack on two fronts at once. From the inside, by a soft communism that hates its own history and wants to dissolve nations into a managed mass. From the outside, by Islamism, which sees our weakness and fills the vacuum. And the two have found each other: Islamo-leftism, where the far left defends the very ideology that would crush it first.
The national fights are the battles. The civilizational fight is the war.
And here's what the other side exploits: your kindness.
Western civilization produced something rare in human history: a moral instinct to extend compassion to strangers. To the refugee, the outsider, the weakest. It's one of the most beautiful things we ever built.
The globalist class turned it into a weapon against us.
Gad Saad has a name for this: suicidal empathy. Empathy that no longer asks who it protects and who pays the price. Empathy that cares more about how it looks than about what it causes. Empathy so detached from reason that it ends up sacrificing your own people, the girl attacked on her way home, the worker priced out of his neighborhood, the town that no longer recognizes itself, just to signal virtue toward strangers.
And every time you object, they don't answer your argument. They question your heart. "Where is your compassion?" That's the trap. They know a decent people will hesitate before being called cruel. They've been running that play for thirty years.
Now add the money.
A few left-wing billionaires understood long ago that you don't need to win elections if you can shape the institutions around them. The Gates Foundation became one of the largest funders of the World Health Organization. George Soros's Open Society Foundations have spent billions funding NGOs, advocacy groups and legal networks, with Europe as a major focus. Unelected, unaccountable, and extremely well organized.
And it's not only private money. Brussels funds NGOs with taxpayers' money, and those same NGOs then lobby Brussels for the policies it already wanted. A closed loop. Citizens pay for it. Nobody ever asked them.
This is the supranational machine: Brussels, the galaxy of NGOs orbiting it, the foundations feeding them, and the political class moving freely between all three. It answers to no voter in any country. It does enormous damage. And it can't be voted out, because no one ever voted it in.
And if you want to know where its center of gravity is, look at Washington.
The Democratic Party is its political headquarters. Not because every Democrat is a globalist, but because that's where the whole network converges: the big foundations, the NGO galaxy, the international organizations, the legacy media, the platforms. Same donors, same people rotating from one to the other, same worldview. Brussels is the branch office.
Covid showed it in real time.
Within weeks, almost the entire Western world adopted the same playbook. Same measures, same messaging, same "trust the science." Anthony Fauci became the face of the official line far beyond America's borders. The Gates Foundation, co-founder of the global vaccine alliances and one of the WHO's largest funders, sat at the center of global health policy. And anyone who questioned the line was branded a spreader of misinformation.
The lab-leak hypothesis was a "conspiracy theory" right up until it became a respectable one. And in 2024, Mark Zuckerberg admitted in writing that senior Biden administration officials had repeatedly pressured Meta in 2021 to censor Covid content, including humor and satire.
Government, foundations, international organizations, platforms. All moving in the same direction, at the same time, and no voter ever consulted.
That's the machine. Covid was the moment it stopped hiding.
That machine is what has to be taken apart. Defund the NGOs living off public money. Bring decisions back to elected national parliaments. Make every foundation that shapes public policy as transparent as a political party.
Compassion is a Western virtue. Letting it be used against us is not.
So let's not fall into the trap.
The trap is Western nations turning on each other. Americans mocking Europeans, Europeans sneering at Americans, each country telling itself "they deserve what's happening to them, they voted for it."
I'm pro-border. I'm pro-nation. I believe every people has the right to decide who enters its home and to defend its own culture. That will never change.
But what we face today is not one nation attacking another. It's an attack on the civilization all our nations belong to. And a civilization under attack cannot afford to let its members watch each other burn.
When you see France on fire, don't say "they chose this." Understand how it happened. Understand who did it. And understand that the same people are working on you.
The West has to stand together against this, fully, without ambiguity, and its peoples have to understand each other. National pride and civilizational solidarity are not opposites. They are the same fight at two scales.
A Frenchman voting to take back his borders and an American voting on November 3rd are on the same front, in the same war, for the same civilization.
We lose it separately, or we win it together.
To every American, and to everyone watching France burn from abroad:
Do not blame the French people for this.
We never asked for it. We never voted for it. And the one time we were clearly asked, we said no.
Here are the numbers your media won't show you.
70% of the French say there are too many immigrants in France today.
79% want a tougher immigration policy.
77% disapprove of the government's record on immigration.
83% want foreign criminals and long-term unemployed foreigners sent home.
And no, it's not just the old. 69% of French 18 to 24 year olds support suspending legal immigration for three years.
This is not a fringe. This is the French people.
In 2005, we were asked if we wanted the European Constitution. 55% voted no. Three years later, our politicians passed the same text under another name, through parliament, without ever asking us again.
That is modern France in one sentence. The people say no. The elites do it anyway.
So who is responsible? The politicians who lied to us. A class of leaders formed in the same schools, the same forums, the same networks, loyal to each other before they are loyal to their nations.
In 2017, at Harvard, Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, bragged about his Young Global Leaders program in four words: "We penetrate the cabinets." He added that it was true in France. Emmanuel Macron was one of his Young Global Leaders.
It's the same project in Brussels with Ursula von der Leyen and in Paris with Macron. Borders treated as an obstacle. Nations treated as relics. The people treated as a problem to be managed.
What you are watching in France is not the French people failing. It is the end of the globalist project, an abject, quasi-communist dream of a world run by unelected planners. It is collapsing everywhere in Europe at once, and the West has to cut this cancer out before it takes the rest of the body with it.
The peoples of Europe don't want this. They never did.
So when you see our town halls burning, don't say "the French chose this."
The French never chose this.
They were forced into it.
If you're French and you agree, repost this so the world hears it from us.
If you're American, look at us carefully. Then choose differently on November 3rd.

My suspicion is that most socialists wouldn't be nearly so eager to declare housing a right if they were personally responsible for financing, building, and maintaining homes for someone else's benefit.
Notice how conveniently their priorities become universal rights the moment someone else is expected to pay for them.
The question they consistently avoid is simple: How does your desire for something give you a rightful claim to someone else's property, money, or labor?
Declaring something a right doesn't magically produce it. It merely disguises the obligation you're imposing on someone else.

Whenever a state has wanted a herding people settled and obedient, it has left the people alone and gone for the animals.
1600: Elizabeth's army in Ulster cannot catch the Irish, who live on their cattle and move with them. So it kills the cattle. The famine does the rest.
1870s: the United States cannot hold the Plains nations while there are bison. Thirty million are shot in a decade. By 1889 there are under a thousand. An army colonel says it out loud: every buffalo dead is an Indian gone.
1880s: the survivors are issued flour, sugar and lard on a reservation, and a ration card.
1930: Stalin collectivises the Kazakh herds. Nine in ten animals are gone inside three years. A million and a half Kazakhs die and the rest are put on farms.
1933: Washington decides the Navajo have too many sheep. Agents shoot half of them, in front of the families who own them.
1950: Israel passes the Black Goat Law. The Bedouin's goats are banned from most of the land the Bedouin graze.
1950s: Canadian police shoot the sled dogs of the Inuit, settlement by settlement. No dogs, no hunting. No hunting, no leaving town.
2003: China bans grazing across the Tibetan and Mongolian grasslands and moves the nomads into concrete rows.
2022: Tanzania seizes Maasai cattle by the thousand to clear land for a game reserve.
A people with a herd has its own food, its own wealth and its own legs. There is nothing to cut off.
Take the animals and they will queue for flour, on the day they are told, at the place they are told.
2023: a government paper in Ireland models the removal of 200,000 cows. For the climate.
The reason given changes every century. The first step never has.

Your average thief at least understands that what he's taking belongs to someone else. The socialist insists he's entitled to it.
The thief steals what already exists. The socialist demands the power to redistribute it indefinitely, undermining the incentives to produce more.
The thief generally wants your money. The socialist wants political authority over how you earn, spend, invest, and keep it.
The thief knows his victim hasn't consented. The socialist calls that lack of consent democracy.
The thief doesn't usually demand gratitude. The socialist expects applause for his compassion.
And when the damage is done, the thief may disappear. The socialist returns demanding more money, more power, and another opportunity to make things worse.
At least the common thief rarely has the audacity to call his victims greedy.

Socialism is a machine for consuming capital while pretending to create it.
Every socialist program starts the same way: a politician identifies something people want, promises to deliver it without a visible price tag, and taxes or prints the money to fund it. Venezuela had this down to an art form by 2015. Price controls on food, nationalized oil revenues redistributed as subsidies, Maduro declaring the supermarket shelves would stay full. By 2017, Venezuelans lost an average of 11 kilograms of body weight from hunger. The machine ate the capital, then ate the people.
Prices carry information. When a government fixes the price of bread below market, bakers stop baking. When it taxes productive capital to fund consumption, the capital stock shrinks. Ludwig von Mises called this the calculation problem: without genuine price signals, central planners are flying blind, allocating resources based on political pressure rather than actual scarcity. Chronic shortage sits underneath their rhetoric of abundance.
Rent is higher because zoning boards and rent stabilization laws choked off housing supply in cities like San Francisco for decades. Your healthcare costs more because Medicare and Medicaid inflate demand while regulatory capture insulates hospitals from competition. Specific politicians passed specific laws that produced specific shortages, then campaigned for re-election by blaming the market.
Voting for a slightly less interventionist candidate while holding your savings in dollars is rearranging furniture on a sinking ship. Hard assets held outside the banking system, particularly bitcoin, gold, property, and stocks, remove your stored labor from the reach of the printing press. This is a basic act of self-preservation in a system designed to extract your productivity under the guise of compassion.
Stop waiting for permission to opt out.
