EDITOR’S NOTE (Nick Stamatakis) I consider myself very fortunate to have met and known in depth a retired high-level banker during my first year in America (1985) – who decided to study social sciences at the end of his life (and frankly was doing the right thing…). A WWII AF pilot, he went on to work for years for Manufacturers Hanover (it later merged with Chase) and remarkably was in charge of the computer systems of the Bank – today the most efficient online banking system on earth. In his last years before retiring, he was a VP of the Bank. In those days (late 1980s), the biggest news in New York had to do with the Japanese invasion – they had even purchased the Rockefeller Center!! My banker friend was smiling as he commented on the news: “Nick, they (the Japanese) don’t know what catastrophe lies ahead for them!…” A few years later, with a giant sucking sound, they abandoned all their real estate acquisitions and headed back home to Japan… Richard Werner answers how the Central Bank of Japan (obviously manipulated by the “Banksters”) had created an enormous credit crisis and ended the rise of Japan globally..
I remembered this story as I was listening to this remarkable interview of German economist Richard Werner with Tucker Carlson. Mr. Werner wrote a bestseller (“The Princes Of Yen”) on the Japanese banking system – and in particular the crisis of the 1990s, where he explained the biggest truth: MONEY IS MADE AT THE TIME A BANK GIVES CREDIT. Why then did they keep spreading lies and confusion – and even taught them in schools?
Richard Werner dismantles the myths surrounding banking, inflation, and monetary power. With calm authority, he explains how modern banks don’t just lend money—they create it out of nothing, issuing credit with the stroke of a keyboard.
He takes us back to 1971, a pivotal year in global finance. When President Nixon closed the gold window, the world unknowingly crossed a line—from real, asset-backed currency to a system based entirely on trust. Trust that would soon begin to fracture. Nixon’s move followed the arrival of a French warship in New York Harbor on August 15, 1971, to pick up the French gold kept at the NY Federal Reserve Bank!! It was a bold and symbolic act—a sign that even America’s allies no longer believed the dollar was as good as gold.
But exposing these truths came at a price. Werner recounts how his research—linking central banks to manufactured crises and undemocratic control—led to thinly veiled threats from intelligence services, including the CIA.
This is not just an economic lecture—it’s a warning. A wake-up call to anyone who still believes that money is neutral, that banking is benign, or that central banks serve the people.
Richard Werner’s message is clear: Whoever controls credit, controls the future. And they’re not always elected.
THIS LONG INTERVIEW IS WORTH EVERY SECOND OF YOUR TIME!!
