Usury is bad, but how do you define it? Would you outlaw all collection of interest? Then I guess there would be no lending.
Why does gold and silver have "intrinsic value"? Because it is a commodity that has a value in the free marketplace that is not determined by "fiat" or whim...That people see it as a valuable commodity is why it has intrinsic value.

Surely, you know that all of the founders and anyone who has read any history understands that fiat currency is a tool of theft used by governments to "tax", actually steal, wealth from the people indirectly without guns. Fiat currency is nothing but a method of theft for those who can "legally" counterfeit or "create" it.

Usury is evil and immoral and it always will be. No "service" or "investment" is made by moving around "money tokens". It is a false "value" created by the minds of parasites.

Perkins describes that "Economic Hit Men are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of TRILLIONS of Dollars. Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex and murder. They play a game as old as Empire but one that has taken on terrifying dimensions during this time of globalization."

It's hard to believe anybody supports this...
The key is to divide the people taken advantage of so they don't unite and overthrow the system. Literally maybe 100,000 of 7 billion people take home 95% of the benefit from the system. So they divide up those most effected by race, nation, religion, etc.
