Two new books by acclaimed author’s blows the lid off the real cause of the world economic downturn, and reveals hidden facts behind major historical events which are dramatically impacting lives today and leading nations towards a future world war. In No More National Debt, Bill Still says that the most outrageous secret in the economic/political sphere today is that all money – except for coins -- is created as an interest-bearing debt. The truth is that nations don't have to borrow; nations can create. The U.S. Constitution commands Congress to control the value of money. In reality, however, the biggest commercial banks are in complete control of the quantity of money in the system -- and thereby control its value -- by a process that is nothing less than counterfeiting. The big banks control the booms and busts of the so-called “business cycle.” The result: banks now have a deadly dual control of both the political process and the media as well. “But the solution is easy,” says Still. “America has used it in the past, but not since the Civil War.”
