and that's (((their)))(3rd) greatest weapon.

usury

germany's state owned banks forbid interest (usury) and germany bounced back from the depression faster than any country. 3-5% on a home loan. a $500,000 would give the bank $15,000 that first year, on one house! think subdivision, ~250 houses. does a bank that already holds most peoples money really need to make 3.75 million for those loans?

i wonder (((who))) makes those rates that steal from american people? how much stronger this country would be? instead most of us are slaves

What is the alternative to banks though? Will you lend me 300k to buy a house free of interest?
