The Central Banking System Exposed
Groundbreaking interview explains not only who, but how, the System and YOU are controlled
“The Princes of the Yen” crossed my vision during the Novel Cornonavirus Era. I, like everyone else, was watching tons of videos, and his interview about how banking really works on RealVision was excellent. I never heard of Prof. Werner. His book and documentary “The Princes of the Yen” sounded excellent. Here’s the thing that caught my attention: his book and documentary were suppressed.
Whenever the Ruling Class censors or suppresses someone’s work, I start paying attention. I know that’s true with many of you.
5 years later, Werner has again shown up, this time on a much bigger stage.
In the three-hour conversation aired on July 28, 2025, Richard Werner revisits his classic work Princes of the Yen and offers a sweeping critique of central banking worldwide. He argues that central banks routinely engineer cycles of artificial booms followed by economic busts through deliberate credit manipulations. Drawing on decades of research, he emphasizes that banks don’t lend deposits—they literally create money “out of thin air” as soon as they issue a loan and hold reserves for themselves.
These are the 3 Most Important Exposes:
Myth‑busting money creation: Werner dismantles the common belief that banks only lend money saved by depositors, showing instead that the vast majority of modern currency is created at the point of lending, not from savings.
Crises manufactured from central planning: He traces historic booms and busts—including the 1920s U.S. stock bubble and the Great Depression—as orchestrated responses by central bankers who expand credit to inflate speculation and then strip it away, triggering collapse. Yes, you read that right, crises are CREATED by the Central Planners, and what happens after the crisis is what they want. Not what you or I or the working class want.
Central banks as instruments of war and covert power: Werner lays out how central banking has traditionally funded wars, covert intelligence, and elite agendas—often without democratic oversight. From the Bank of England to the U.S. Fed, money creation has been a hidden tool for military and political ends.
The most incredible incredible example he uses is the Warburgs. The two brothers played both sides of the war, and made a ton of money. This manufactured war (as most of them are) changed the course of The West for the worse, but the Banksters got their central bank, The FED, and their money making war. Oh yes - they also got the income tax amendment approved.
Here is a necessary lesson for young people.
The most crucial takeaway for younger generations is this: understanding who controls credit is more important than just memorizing interest‑rate policy or inflation figures. Werner insists that when credit is allocated to productive, small‑business and local investment—as opposed to speculative or political elites—it yields real, sustainable growth with lower inequality. He puts hope in small local banks—not megabanks—because they are the only institutions likely to fund real innovation and grassroots economic activity:
“Big banks want to do big deals with big customers. Who lends to small firms? Only small banks.”.
Werner goes through the destruction of the small, local banks, and how the FED sparked and managed the decline. One of the keys to a healthy economy and abundance for all is having hundreds of small, local banks lending to small businesses, with loan officers tuned in and taking the pulse of those getting the loans and working with them.
Towards the end of the interview, he talks about how the central banks want a CBDC, a Central Bank Digital Currency in order to have everyone under one umbrella, theirs, and the ability to control your life. The central bank (the FED, Bank of England) has no interest in your life or success. You are a commodity to be milked and exploited. It’s one of the reasons you have been given an SSN number. But that’s another story.
Summary at a glance:
Central banks quietly manufacture economic crises by controlling credit cycles.
Money is created through lending, not deposits.
Global monetary control has historically enabled war, covert agendas, and elite enrichment.
The key insight young people should grasp: who controls credit matters infinitely more than headline economic indicators—and supporting decentralized, productive credit is essential.
Here is the interview. I recommend the entire thing to anyone who wants to fill in some obvious gaps in the Official Historical Record. It will also teach you about economics in a way that no class or textbook has before:
