An expanding monetary supply is a hyperinflation. It has been happening for quite some time. It can be measured, graphed, and has been. It has been created by running the printing presses worldwide until they got hot enough to melt down. It is a debt- based system, and it doesn't represent any real value. The US has about $23 trillion worth of debt. China has approx $30 trillion worth of debt. The world debt is approx $244 trillion. This debt can not be paid back by the creation of more debt. The financial system runs on a delusion. Dropping helicopter debt because no real money exists. When the reality arrives; the debt bubble pops The US stock market, much bragged about, is full of the bad air of printed money, which will all gasp out at the same time the US, allies go to war with Iran; and also Russia is engaged in war with the financially collapsed EU. $244 trillion worth of world debt all melts down at one time. This is found in Psalms 46: 4- 6. "He sounded with His voice, the earth proceeded to melt" or 'crumble'. Paul tells us: "Jehovah will make an accounting on the earth, concluding it and cutting it short'" Romans 9: 28. The 'signs' of this are the declaration of "peace and security" and the appearance of war between the US,allies and Iran; and also the war between Russia and the financially collapsed EU. This is also the time when Christ arrives Matthew 24: 30 bringing His Kingdom Matthew 24: 14. Throwing money at the problem? Throwing debt at the problem, because they don't have any money. The financial system is running on a delusion. Debt is not money.

this is a bad video. There is a difference between Depository institutes we call BANKS, and the Investment companies examples in this video which should be called Investment banks and not just Banks. They are NOT banks. They are Investment Banks. There is a difference.
