Search for lectures or presentations by Andreas Antonopoulos re: Bitcoin on YouTube; he will address most of the issues you raise.

		<description><![CDATA[Back in the real central bankers and their acolytes manipulate all markets to destroy economies and countries. The net result is the wealth of the country and its assets have been pledged to guarantee unpayable loans. 

The money loaned is created from nothing. The central banks create reserves from nothing. Commercial banks use the reserves to back the apparent production of more money, under the fractional reserve system. The nations pledge the assets which are mortgaged to the loans. 

Then the banks use the futures markets , which are totally unregulated, to drive down commodity prices. Companies, corporations and countries go broke.  Then the defaults on the loans happen. The banks do not care about the paper money loss as the money was free to them but they are happy to now claim the assets at knock down prices. 

It is robbery in my book and a major reason central bankers and fraction reserve banking must be abolished. 

How about a column on that please David. A dozen columns actually will have trouble covering that subject.
