… We might congratulate Barack Obama on his re-election, but also make clear what we request:
We might demand that Europe – committed to the truth – reappraises its history since the Second World War.

Banks receive some people’s savings and pay them a very small interest. Then banks lend this money to clients and ask some more interest. Till here I understand, as the banks have to pay employees (the amount is another question). But the bank also lends only 10% (or less) of the savers money, the rest, 90% or more will be virtual money - means created out of nothing, means: THE BANK DOES NOT POSSESS THIS 90%.
