12. THE 5 TOXIC FUNCTIONS OF THE MONETARY-BANKING SYSTEM THAT THEY CREATE PERIODICALLY DEBT-CRISES.

THE 5 TOXIC FUNCTIONS OF THE MONETARY-BANKING SYSTEM THAT THEY CREATE PERIODICALLY  DEBT-CRISES

The 5 toxic functions of the monetary and banking system are described below. They are not only of the commercial banks but of the central Bank as well. Either the central bank being private as in Italy and Greece or public as in England:

1)  Macroeconomic enforcement of debt. 
Because from the moment of new issuing of the base of the currency (sometimes denoted by M0 money) and banknotes of the central bank, the supply and circulation of it is exclusively through debt. Either as debt of the commercial banks, or as debt of the public sector when public bonds are bought with it by the central bank. The non-election-able bureaucrats of the central bank do not know better what is good even financially for the society compared to the total sequence ofthe governments, partliaments , Universities and the rest of the collective intelligence of the civilization. The central bank should not be a bank at all, but a non-profit public organization, othewise its function is unethical and toxic! The same tocic function have also the commercial banks, that also enforce in a macroeconomic the debt in the society, The circulation of money starting from the central bank to the commercial banks and from the commercial banks to the rest of the economy, is forced to be by debt. They do not allow other forms of supply of money from the moments the banknote (base of the currency) is issued. The central bank issues the base of the currency (M0 money) and the commercial banks the accounting money M1, M2, M3. All ofthe M0, M1, M2, M3 circulates exclusively by debt. This  is not the case e.g. with other digtal currences, the digtal cryptocurrencies like the bitcoin etc
2)  Empty-lending.
As the commercial banks are creating the M1, M2, M3 money, which are debt ,that they create in society , the do so with rules so that the total M1+M2+M3 it is by far larger than the existing money in circulation in bank notes (M0 money). Therefore, the moment the acrobatics of timing-balance of mutual payments collapses, like a castle of playing cards of a deck, a new debt crisis is created. This is unavoidable to happen every 70-100 years, on the occusio of a fast change in the economy.
3)  Money-issuing mediating.
After analyzing the balance sheets of most banks and in the majority of the years, it becomes clear that the role of the commercial banks is to intermediate between the money M0 and bank notes that the central banks is issuing and the rest of the economy that wants to use. The obvious reason for this is that a commercial bank finds cheaper to borrow money from the central bank and then lend it in the economy, compared to attract deposits from the households and enterprises and then lend it. Thus the old fashioned “positive image" of the reason of existence of the banks so as to collect surplus money and supply it to the productive sector is naive and incorrect. As many intermediating agents and roles in the economy, it does not really act productively but in a parasitic way puts the breaks in the development of the really productive economy. Thus statistically in the average the debt-burden or debt-capital of every enterprise is about double the equities or owneres capital (debt capital equal to about 2/3 of the total assest). The parasitic role of the money-issuing mediating is so  especially when it is a finacial human right of surviving for every person to have direct access, personally, to the issued base-currency , at least in the form of a basic income. 
4) Abusive monopolistic ownership of money issuing. 
This toxic functions is mainly for the central bank which issues the base of the currency (M0 money).  The commercial banks  create the accounting money M1, M2 , M3.
It is monopolistic because normally   this jurisdiction and role of issuing the base of the currency M0 should belong to the public sector, the Ministry of Finance which can perform it without enforcing debt, and not to private investors (in the case of private central banks) , or even group of non-election-able independent bureaucrats (case of independent public central bank) . There is the  article 123 of the agreement for the function of the European Union  (Maastricht) , which states that the bureaucrats of the European Central Bank , they are not obliged to ask the opinion or take the permission of any government or parliament in the Eurozone in their decisions for issuing money, regulating interest rates and suppling it in the economies!
5) De-facto abusiveness of decision making in politics through monopolistic money decisions.
Exactly because of the above,  article 123 of the agreement for the function of the European Union  (Maastricht) , which states that the bureaucrats of the European Central Bank , they are not obliged to ask the opinion or take the permission of any government or parliament in the Eurozone in their decisions for issuing money, regulating interest rates and suppling it in the economies, the governments have lost their basic ability of running their politics, because obviously any kind of politics costs  money  and requires controlling the issuing and circulation of money. Especially when the currency is no longer a scarce resource (as the rule of the gold in issuing of money does not hold anymore) but an instrument to enforce power in the societies. The non-election-able and non-publicly elected bureaucrats of the central bank do not know better what is good even financially for the society compared to the total sequence ofthe governments, partliaments , Universities andthe rest of the collective intelligence of the civilization. The central bank should not be a bank at all, but a non-profit public organization, othewise its function is unethical and toxic!


All the above  create in a periodic way of 70-100 years  great debt crises  and economic destructions in the societies.

A POEM

POVERTY AS A SYSTEMIC CRIME


1.       Poverty is at a high percentage
And many people
Understand it as
A result of meritocracy


2.      So society tries to solve it
Through the mercy of charity
But poverty
Is not solvable by charity
Neither it is entirely true
That it is a result
Of meritocracy

3.      If at a hundred people
You give each a thousand dollars
And a pair of fair dices
To play blindly for a week
At the end of the week
More than 80% of the total money
Would be concentrated
In less than 20% of them
And a high percentage
Would be moneyless
In poverty.
Fair money accounting transactions
Could never guarantee
A fair distribution
Of money
I the society


4.      Even if each one of us
Who make the society
Were clone copies
Of the same person
Still a high percentage
Would be in poverty
Because it is the
Statistical inevitable
and certain result
of the rules, institutions
and laws of the system

5.      Deterministic causality and certainty
At the micro-scale
Of the individual
Is different from the
Statistical seemingly random
Causality and certainty
At the macro-economic scale

6.      So given that the system
Is such that
As in the game
Of Russian roulette
It is statistically certain
That at the end of the decade
A gigh percentage
Would be in poverty
Which is even more clear
During the banking
Economic crises
That are created by the system
Who among the good people
Would like to feel responsible
In the bad joy
Of such a system crime?

7.      And although it is difficult
Fix a complicated system
It is a basic human right
To be able to survive
Tobe free from the need in poverty
As is a basic human right
To have free health care
Therefore, my friends
An unconditional and free
Basic income
That would eliminate poverty
Is a minimum remedy
For our economic system
So that the poverty
Is not a system crime
if we want it to be friendly
to the human spiritual existence.


8.      And for those wondering
Where all this money
will be found for
the free basic income
I remind them
That money is not
under the rule of gold
it is this way or another
continuously issued
in a gradual inflation way
 from nothingness in the computers
of the central banks
And it is a matter of laws
who has the privilege to issue it
and how it will circulate
in the society.
It is therefore a basic human right
That the central banks
Should not be banks
But only not-for-profit public
 central monetary organizations
directly under the ministries of finances
and the public decisions of the parliaments
and issuing non-inflation money
which circulates in the society
mainly not through debt.
