Found this on another forum...
There's a Speak and Spell hanging on the wall behind them. Remember those?
Edit to add:
Gnnfff... I'm _trying_ not to derail. But then you say things like:
How do those links support your case? They seem on cursory glance to simply show you do not understand the different role of a Reserve Bank and a Commercial Bank.
Only governments can create money from nothing.
Well there's another surprise for you. The US 'Federal Reserve Bank' is not a US federal government instrumentality. It's a commercial bank, totally privately owned. And governments have not 'created money', since (in the USA) they gave away that right to the bankers in 1913. Even earlier for many British and Continental governments. Oh, I'm sorry, there was an exception - Pres Kennedy had the US government begin issuing notes not sourced from banker loans. One of his several unforgivable sins in the eyes of various forces.
Governments take out loans (usually from banks) when they issue government bonds - usually 'bought' by banks with money the bank just created. Then guess where the money to repay with interest is going to come from?
There's a great deal of smoke and mirrors in this topic, because it's at the root of raw power in this world, and the truth is not pretty. So there are beautifying myths... which I once believed, just like you.
More on that:

Some friends of mine (in the bullion market coincidentally) put some effort into an attempt to find out who owns the Australian reserve bank. Last I heard they had not succeeded.
Oh, and banks (the Commonwealth Bank specifically) also steal directly. My personal experience:
