Quantitative Easing vs Qualitative Easing.

Quantitative Easing vs Qualitative Easing.

There are presently three different so-called 'pump priming' monetary policy initiatives, that are confusingly being referred to by many as all being the same thing. But more accurately two of them favour the private banking sector over society, and one society over the banking sector.

1 - Printing bank credit reserves 1st example that favours banking sector over mainstreet;

Boosting bank credit reserves to replace what senior most owners and executives have stripped from the institution via remuneration packages with reported levels of profit justification that are creative accountancy, fraudulent counterfeit credit based cover-ups.

Creative accountancy fraud that leaves the institution itself insolvent and in need of assistance.

This does not work to pump prime the economy of course because no increased purchasing power reaches already debt saturated main street without it being via loans from the banks. Which when society is already debt saturated and been given no relief from the counterfeit credit already existing in the system, it is like pushing a piece of string.

2 - Printing bank credit reserves 2nd example that favours banking sector over main street;

Boosting banks credit reserves for them to purchase real assets from debt-encumbered companies or even countries. The benefit said to be by the bankers, injecting cash into cash-strapped sectors in an attempt to get the economy flowing again. They say they will sell the 'real assets' back to the market once the economy is flowing again.

Again given that there is no relief of the already existing levels of counterfeit credit based demands, and much of the cash changing hands comes straight back to the banks as payments, it is again like pushing a piece of string.

What it essentially does is allow the senior most vested interests to use counterfeit credit in a predatory way to gain ownership of the real assets of the society, so as they can then rent them back to society.

3 - Printing state institution mutual public credit reserves to be spent, rather than lent, into circulation that favours mainstreet over the senior most owners and executives of the banking sector;

Presently many societies of the world via contracts organised by their leaders, have entrusted institutions external of the state to administer the nation's currency originating 'pump priming' credit mechanism at the heart of their money system funding structures.

That, for a fee covering their cost of business and fair remuneration for their expertise of keeping everything in endgame loan repayment equilibrium, they will contractually administer the system in a fair way that will enhance the well-being of all of the society.

But many societies are starting to realise that the senior most owners and executives of these institutions external of the state have been committing grand-scale, predatory lending of counterfeit credit, control fraud.

They have been cooking the credit books in pursuit of short-sighted personal kings ransoms, rather than the long-term well-being of as many of society as possible.

The only way to now to fill the gap that has developed between the needs of mainstream and the lack of being able to access those needs due to interest payment demands upon a massive amount of already existing counterfeit credit, at least if society still wishes to retain a central currency, is by giving relief from those fraudulent claims by using another way to pump prime the economy in a way that bridges the poverty among plenty gap.

That way is via society, via their government, rescinding the contract of the institutions external of the state that has them at the top of the currency originating credit tree and occupying that space themselves.

Rather than first externally lending its purchasing power from external sources to then spend, it simply credits its own account with the value of its own credit, as is any nations sovereign right, then sets about doing what is necessary to give relief from the private banking sector counterfeit credit levels, by essentially doing the first two methods described above in this article, but to benefit society as a public trust and not institutions external of the state.

I would describe the 3rd of these processes as Qualitative Easing, rather than Quantitative Easing.

2017 Ideal Money System Funding Structure Reform Advisory Panel

If you conclude that these people have merit, please bring the information they possess, to the attention of as many people within the political and media public protection agencies of your nation, as you can.

These money system funding structure reformists are senior most international level Bankers – Academics – Regulators, and Me, who have integrity and are using their knowledge trying to prevent the breakdown of civilised society.

These people are not the path of least resistance, ego-preserving apologists for what they have played a part in, they are proven advocates for true reform of the presently failed money system funding structures of the world.

As the world seems to be reversing 
away from learned behaviours of common decency, into a selfish slave master minded, feudal commercial pyramid fraud ideology. 

Before parents consider allowing their children being sent off to kill each other en masse in wars. Please take the time to read these peoples findings and suggestions for a more socially stable and environmentally sustainable, money system funding structure.

The Truth About Banking: Former Top Regulator Speaks Out
http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/1895986-the-truth-about-banking-former-top-regulator-speaks-out/2/

Adair Turner's book challenges the belief that private credit is essential to growth and fiat money is inevitably dangerous. The author argues that debt needs to be taxed as a form of economic pollution because most credit is not needed for economic growth and just drives real estate booms and busts and leads to financial crisis and depression. The author also debunks the big myth about fiat money—the erroneous notion that printing money will lead to harmful inflation. He believes that policy makers need to monetize government debt and finance fiscal deficits with central-bank money to overcome the mess that is created by past policy errors.

“ I learned that a lot of what we practiced in finance through no ill intent, this is unrelated to the financial crisis, and the ethical challenges of the financial system, but that the system itself is designed to propel growth in the economic system with no regard to the physical boundaries of the planet and with little regard to the social criteria, social constraints of human well being and so it struck me that a lot of the symptoms that we talk about such as climate change obviously being on top of everyone’s agenda, but ecosystem degradation, soil degradation, biodiversity loss. All of these issues are symptoms of an economic system that is essentially bumping into the boundaries of the biosphere, and if you think about finance and even our money system, which is built on a money system which is created through expanding money that has interest associated, so as the money supply grows the requirement to service money grows at a compound rate. That forces at a systemic level the economy to continue growing which if the economy is related to material throughput eventually creates this conflict with the boundaries of the biosphere. So its been a very profound realisation and what I have discovered is that there are an increasing amount of people thinking about this question, but its very much outside the halls of conventional economics and very much new economic thinking.”

[9.00] Back in the 1960s, I ( Michael Hudson )was Chase Manhattan Bank’s balance of payments analyst, and my job was to focus on the Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, and my job was to calculate how much of a balance of payments surplus they could generate, and the idea of the bank marketing department was the entire economic surplus could be used to pay debt service to the seven major Americam banks.

[9:40] And pretty quickly we found out that there wasn’t any surplus to pay the banks, and there was an international department that got very upset because he said “Look, I get promoted for making loans, and the real estate guys are making all the loans, you’re telling us they can’t afford to repay!” And he took it up to David Rockefeller, we went across the street to the Federal Reserve bank, and the Federal Reserve bank said “It’s in America’s interest to make these loans to Latin America. Mr. Hudson, according to your calculations, Britain can’t afford to replay any more.” “That’s right. I don’t see any way in which it can get the money to repay the debt.” And the Federal Reserve man said “Ah! But did you take into account the fact that the US Treasury is always going to lend Britain the money to pay? We will never let it go down.” I said, “Well, that’s a deus ex machina from outside the system. Yes, you can lend them the money to repay.”

William Black
A financial system regulator of the highest knowledge and integrity who knows what needs to be kept an eye on.

William Black jailed 1000 odd bankers in the US back in 1980's when they committed the same crimes they did during the 2008 global mass counterfeit credit crisis - for which hardly any of the frauds have been brought to justice.

Which is the prime cause of the massive inequality in the world that is now leading to massive civil unrest.

Danielle DiMartino Booth has given a modern example top up to my inspiration. After failing in attempting to change the immoral ways of the US Federal Reserve from within for many years she has resigned and now gone independent.
She recently (2017) published a book titled Fed Up - An insiders view of why the Federal Reserve is bad for America - which imho is a must read for anyone in state services anywhere in the world.
When asked why she continues with her quest after many setbacks - she says because it is just the right thing to do.

ABOUT FED UP
A Federal Reserve insider pulls back the curtain on the secretive institution that controls America’s economy

After correctly predicting the housing crash of 2008 and quitting her high-ranking Wall Street job, Danielle DiMartino Booth was surprised to find herself recruited as an analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, one of the regional centers of our complicated and widely misunderstood Federal Reserve System. She was shocked to discover just how much tunnel vision, arrogance, liberal dogma, and abuse of power drove the core policies of the Fed.

DiMartino Booth found a cabal of unelected academics who made decisions without the slightest understanding of the real world, just a slavish devo­tion to their theoretical models. Over the next nine years, she and her boss, Richard Fisher, tried to speak up about the dangers of Fed policies such as quanti­tative easing and deeply depressed interest rates. But as she puts it, “In a world rendered unsafe by banks that were too big to fail, we came to understand that the Fed was simply too big to fight.”

Now DiMartino Booth explains what really happened to our economy after the fateful date of December 8, 2008, when the Federal Open Market Committee approved a grand and unprecedented ex­periment: lowering interest rates to zero and flooding America with easy money. As she feared, millions of individuals, small businesses, and major corporations made rational choices that didn’t line up with the Fed’s “wealth effect” models. The result: eight years and counting of a sluggish “recovery” that barely feels like a recovery at all.

While easy money has kept Wall Street and the wealthy afloat and thriving, Main Street isn’t doing so well. Nearly half of men eighteen to thirty-four live with their parents, the highest level since the end of the Great Depression. Incomes are barely increasing for anyone not in the top ten percent of earners. And for those approaching or already in retirement, extremely low interest rates have caused their savings to stagnate. Millions have been left vulnerable and afraid.
Perhaps worst of all, when the next financial crisis arrives, the Fed will have no tools left for managing the panic that ensues. And then what?

DiMartino Booth pulls no punches in this exposé of the officials who run the Fed and the toxic culture they created. She blends her firsthand experiences with what she’s learned from dozens of high-powered market players, reams of financial data, and Fed docu­ments such as transcripts of FOMC meetings.

Whether you’ve been suspicious of the Fed for decades or barely know anything about it, as DiMartino Booth writes, “Every American must understand this extraordinarily powerful institution and how it affects his or her everyday life, and fight back.”

There are also my own articles in regards the impact of criminal banking sector activity upon New Zealand - helped very much by having discovered and followed the works of the above-linked banking insiders turned reform advocates for over a decade now;

Universal Public Credit Public Policy Submission
To whom it may concern,
Attempting to form public policy for equal economic opportunity of all citizens without a full knowledge of the function of money as invented and intended - that this submission details - is doing so by looking at 1/3 of a many piece puzzle forced together in frustrated confusion - thinking its complete - when 2/3 of the picture needed in the middle to make clear sense of it all - is in-fact one large piece that has been hidden by a self-serving few to steal from wider society under false pretenses.
