Nothing new, I believe, for regular readers of this list or the P2P<br>
blog, maybe even banal:<br>

"These bankers are not proposing to loan their money to the<br>
world. Rather, they propose creating new money out of thin air... they<br>
loan the fabricated money, collect interest payments and demand the<br>
principal back in real money from the debtors. It�s a lucrative scheme<br>
if you�re on the inside. �What bankers call �Credit� the rest of world<br>
experiences as �Debt� owed to the bankers... Alternatives exist"<br>
<br>
what's interesting is _where_ this is written, a place a little more<br>
"mainstream" than those usually hosting these talks:<br>
