"If you stop and think - the current economic crisis is entirely due to usury.
The ratcheting upward of housing prices hit a ceiling, where the finite money tokens could no longer act as a medium of exchange. Despite prodigious "velocity of money" (passing cash at the speed of light), the imbalance in the marketplace value and the finite sum of money tokens have combined into a depression.
Unfortunately, boom and bust are the cyclic aspects of usury. Since aggregate usury is impossible to pay, each cycle generates an obligation (principle and interest) that far exceeds available money tokens. Thus a proportion of debtors cannot pay, regardless of their ability, simply because the money does not exist. As the marketplace accumulates goods and services, priced to account for hidden inflationary forces of usury and shiftable taxation, there is an accumulation of demand for more and more money tokens to satisfy all debt.
Due to the fact that the exponential equation for calculating interest imposes a mathematical anomaly (a debt far greater than the money supply), usury cannot operate indefinitely. Eventually, the marketplace has to crash, and reset the proportionality of available money tokens and available goods and services.
However, such "system resets" result in panic, economic collapse, pain and suffering of investors who are wiped out, debtors who lose their pledged collateral, and enterprises that are driven into ruin. As laborers are thrown out of jobs, they have less money to buy the labor of others, which drives more businesses into ruin. A domino effect drives the market into a bottomless pit. That is not a good way to advance civilization.
In fact, I suspect that every war humanity has suffered, has its roots in usury. And no protracted war can be prosecuted without the extension of credit (war loans) of the usurer. Usurers are predators, who use our ignorance of the true nature of money, to cheat us. And to increase demand for their "product", they incite trouble, and they foment wars. It's no surprise that the Bible condemns usurers to death.
We, who live in the 21st century, often assume that we're the pinnacle of human knowledge and wisdom. But it appears we are more gullible and ignorant, and easily fooled.
And the next step will be a wholesale surrender to the State, which will offer us "jobs" (access to money), making more and more of us employed by the Collectivists (Socialists / Communists). And still, the usurers will be waiting in the wings, skimming their profit, confiscating collateral, inflicting pain, and rebuilding the crooked house that will collapse around us or our descendants.
But the worst thing - they want us to be grateful to them. After skinning us alive, they graciously let us regrow our skins... before skinning us again."
