NZ Central Banker Says Quiet Part Out Loud: ‘It’s A Great Business To Be In, Where You Print Money And People Believe It’

The pariahs that rule over us … they cannot claim ignorance! Hear them all laugh at the banker’s statement! They know. TVNZ broadcasted about this ponzi schem 12 years ago on Youtube “CONFIRMED: Loans & Mortgages are created out of thin air by the Banks (In the article below you can hear the statement and the laughter at the X link). See our Money pages @ main menu.

A banker at the New Zealand Reserve Bank (NZRB) joked about what modern central banking is really all about. On February 12th, 2024, during a parliamentary committee meeting, NZRB Governor Adrian Orr cracked a joke about the modern central banking system, which was met with laughter.

“We actually fund ourselves and then decide what dividends to pay.

“It’s a great business to be in, central banking, where you print money and people believe it.”

According to CoinTelegraph, ‘The hearing was part of the central bank’s annual review. During the meeting, Orr said he was “critically concerned” with the rise of decentralized digital currencies such as Bitcoin, which he argued lacks the three main properties of money.’

Orr said, “It’s neither a means of exchange, it’s not a store of value and it’s not a unit of account.” Orr is also not that big of a fan of stablecoins, believing that they do not compliment central bank issued currency. “They’re only as good as the balance sheet of the person offering that stablecoin,” he added.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

Proverbs 22:7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

This isn’t anything shocking if you have a modicum of knowledge and understanding concerning the current economic framework. It’s all about cheap, easy, helicopter money; and those inflated notes ultimately make them and their rich criminal friends who gamble in the markets, wealthier at our expense because they have to transact in them.

Proverbs 10:15 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

But there is an actual term for this when central banks print all this money: it’s called the “Cantillon Effect;” those closest to the money printer reap the most benefit, whereas when the money starts to funnel and “trickle down” into the broader economy it’s worth a lot less, and we pay for it as a tax that way. It is the single greatest Ponzi scheme ever concocted.

For more on this, see my study on this deliberate money failure:

“It is important to understand the push for total control through the weaponization of the financial system” – Catherine Austin Fitts

From Catherine Austin Fitts

The Solari 60-Day Cash Challenge

Governments are moving quickly to roll out digital ID systems that tie together identity, payments, and access to everyday life. In the United Kingdom, we’re already seeing the push to make digital identification mandatory. Once money is fully digitized, every purchase can be tracked, limited, or even denied.

That’s not some far-off scenario. We all need to be acting now to push back against this agenda, which is why we’re excited to announce that the Solari 60-Day Cash Challenge officially starts this week.

Cash or Slavery

Why a Cash Challenge?

Using cash is one of the simplest, most effective ways to push back against the march toward an all-digital financial system. Over the next 60 days, we invite you to make the deliberate choice to pay with cash as often as possible when buying groceries, coffee, gas, when eating out, or with purchases from any brick-and-mortar merchant.

Beyond using cash whenever possible, we also challenge you to consider taking some of the following actions in the next 60 days to raise awareness about using cash and why it’s important to do so.

More Ways to Take Action in the Next 60 Days

  1. Spread the word: Send this article by Catherine, The Threat of Financial Transaction Control, to five friends and ask that they join you in the challenge to use cash whenever possible for the next 60 days. Even better would be to post the link and encouragement to use cash on one of your social media accounts to reach more people. Tag us when you do on X and Instagram.
  2. Take a Deeper Dive: Watch Solari’s briefing on Keeping Cash in Circulation: A Key Tool Against the Digital Control Grid to deepen your understanding of the issues at hand. The briefing, held on June 12, 2025, focused on one of the most powerful strategies we have to push back against the emerging digital control grid: keeping cash in circulation. Financial planner Tim Caban opened the session by framing the critical importance of preserving cash as a cornerstone of financial freedom and privacy. Susan Luschas, Tobi Maier, and Elizabeth Murphy then discussed legislative actions taken in various states to protect and promote the use of cash, as well as strategies that have proven effective for building public and political support. They also provided details on model bills that can raise awareness and build momentum.
  3. Celebrate Cash on Halloween: If you participate in Halloween, check out our “Cash is King” Halloween initiative. For the past two years, inspired by subscriber Susan Luschas’s example, we have promoted Susan’s idea of creating a “Cash Is King” Halloween. Instead of poisoning trick-or-treaters with candy, Susan hands out dollar bills, placing “Cash Is King: Why Pay with Cash?” stickers on each bill. This has made her house one of the neighborhood’s most popular Halloween destinations, prompting the eager trick-or-treaters to run home and tell their parents about the merits of paying with cash. Discover more about the initiative here.

Join the Movement

Join us! Take the pledge to use cash for the next 60 days. Share your stories, photos, and reasons for choosing cash. Encourage your friends and family to do the same. Together, we can show others how important it is to use and protect cash usage.

Cash is Freedom. Cashless is Control. Let’s keep freedom alive—one purchase at a time.

“Trillions of dollars need to be mobilized a year by tapping into the savings of citizens around the world…” Sustainable development’s financing plan!

Ah, how the UN cares for you … so much so they want you to involuntarily give them your savings. Do any of their plans look sustainable? I’ve yet to see anything. If the sustainable environmental practices are anything to go by we’re all sunk pretty much … it’s all about profits and money courtesy of the banking cartel. Do you really trust them?

Danger: The Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed, said that “trillions of dollars need to be mobilized a year by tapping into the savings of citizens around the world…” The financing fix for Sustainable Development is revealed: simply take it from citizens’ saving accounts. Actually, if Sustainable Development is completely established in place of Capitalism/Free Enterprise, private property (including savings) will be wiped out anyway. ⁃ TN Editor

As the high-level week of the United Nations General Assembly gets underway, Secretary-General António Guterres today stressed the role of the UN to help reshape “unproductive and unrewarding” finance and redirect investment to creating a better world for all.

“The choices we make on finance will be critical,” Mr. Guterres told a special event held at the UN Headquarters in New York on financing for global development goals.

Mr. Guterres noted that the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – adopted by UN Member States in September 2015 – are a blueprint for building an inclusive, sustainable fair globalization.

“We can choose to bemoan the lack of financing for the 2030 Agenda in a world awash with so much unproductive and unrewarding finance. Or we can grasp the opportunity to reshape finance, according to our urgent, collective needs,” he said. “The choice is clear. Let us invest in the 2030 Agenda and finance a better world for all.”

The Opal File – A Secret History of Australia & NZ

This information is from wakeupkiwi.com … it fits hand in glove with the end game of Agenda 21 (find that topic at our main menu).

The Opal File – A Secret History of Australia and New Zealand

The author of The Opal File is unverified, although it has emerged that the source may have come from within the CIA circa 1992. This material has been online in some obscure places since the early to mid 1990’s as a .txt file. It is clear that whomever collated this material had some insight into the events that are described.

Update: We have received additional information that this list first surfaced in NZ around 1986 / 1987 as “The Gemstone File” – when it was circulated in private circles prior to the advent of the internet.

It is possible that [while there are some very likely dodgy operators] that this list is disinformation. It also may have emerged by way of the KGB rather than the CIA. Given that those organisations were ultimately run by the same people at the highest levels, this may or may not be of importance.

Below is the original introduction, which gives away the age of the material in its original format – text file.

“This is is quite long, approx 56K and contains some very amazing information, such as Swiss Account Numbers of high profile people on Mafia Payrolls. You may be surprised at some of the names mentioned here. It also contains references to CIA operations to place subliminal TV broadcasts throughout Australia and NZ, and other countries.

Happy reading.

The Horowhenua DC’s Economic Development Committee that Looks Not Unlike Insider Trading

Thought it timely for a reblog of this important article. Keeping up with the play I believe it may now be possible for the public to attend these meetings. Great news. You can find out the times, venue etc at the HDC website. (The article does refer to a protest etc which is obviously historic and the Deputy Mayor was rolled. Nevertheless the remainder of the content still remains pertinent for today).

“These business associates of the Mayor actually came to our table at Council the other night and addressed us and advised us to vote for the policies that would benefit them!”   Cr Ross Campbell

Last July it was brought to our attention by the currently-being-rolled Deputy Mayor (then) Councilor Ross Campbell, that a certain group within the HDC called the Economic Development Committee, was actually functioning in an advisory capacity to the district’s ELECTED representatives, the HDC Councilors. That economic group is comprised of:

EIGHT NON-ELECTED members of the business community … developers, retailers, manufacturers, contractors… and TWO ELECTED COUNCILORS, who in turn are advising ELECTED COUNCILORS how they should vote.

How the global financial system is essentially a giant fraud machine – Vinny Eastwood’s exposé on John Key & the Panama Papers

Remember how your government/corporation recently gambled away $200 million of Kiwisaver funds & lost it in a ‘fail safe’ investment with a Portuguese bank? Haven’t heard anything of that since have we, as in what’s to be done about it? Nobody held to account? Well here is an exposé that will make you think seriously about where you put your money. Check out our Money Trail/Banking pages.   This is about white collar crime, the crime that’s seldom mentioned in mainstream media, whilst petty crime makes the headlines. Focusing on the theft of  minor sums of money and so forth keeps our eyes off the breathtaking theft of the banking fraternity and their criminal ilk.     EnvirowatchRangitikei
