I will continue to add to this and sort it, and notify you of updates if you subscribe. In the meantime you will find a lot of very revealing info from highly qualified sources.

''Our Banking Systems'' Are Legalised Fraud, Run By A Few, For Themselves. |Knowledge is Power
Lending money you don't have was recognised as fraud which causes economic disasters, in the 1600s. Then, fraudsters bought our governments. Now it’s called “creation of money”. And still we are deceived and fleeced by it.
How Big Money Destroys Co-operatives | Knowledge is Power
Co-operatives and worker share structures are the way that wealth is received by those who produce it - not by extractors. Here’s a comparison of success in Italy, and destruction in the UK.

Alternative models
There are several models, I think I’ll put this in a separate substack. -
commercial banks are limited to lending money created by Government (central banks) and are regulated in whom they can lend to
inflation is stopped by tax, or limiting money creation, instead of putting money in the banking cabal’s pocket, which of course they lend to speculators driving inflation up and buying up the casualties of interest unaffordability
governments directly control both money creation and money lending, providing credit to sound productive ventures instead of speculators.
For any of these to work, governments and elected politicians must lose their impunity, and become personally accountable and liable for their actions. That will attract a different calibre of candidates - people who want to do their job, instead of people wanting self enrichment. It is simple, we already have the laws, they apply to every contractor, employee and holder of elected officer positions - except in our governments.
(This was the fundamental flaw in Plato’s Republic - he couldn’t or wouldn’t envisage a government personally liable for its actions. Maybe the laws of fraud, contract, and fiduciary duty were created much later, a question for another investigation.)
