Which countries have central banks?

[TheGrinchWhoStoleDC]

Not going off any research, but based on lunch with a friend the other day, he explained the following. He said that Russia, North Korea and Iran are the only countries left in the world that are not part of the same central bank system(read Rothschild). Though these countries still have central banks, they are independent of say the Fed Res. He said that is causing a lot of the rising tension and may shape alliances in the coming months/years.

This is true. The only other ones (IIRC, Iraq and Afghanistan) were taken care of by the "war on terror".

Iran has had a Central Bank for a long time. They were one of the original founding members of the IMF in 1945. http://www.imf.org/external/np/sec/memdir/memdate.htm

I don't think being a participant in the early form of the International Monetary Fund means what it seems to mean to us today.

Early on it was a formed to help rebuild Europe after World War Two. Some members deposited funds others borrowed.

Now It seem to me to have morphed into what may become the global central bank of central banks.

It wouldn't surprise me if that was their intentions all along.

If so we've allowed them to counterfeit their way into Omnipotence.

Thanks Steven.

I've been thinking the "bad guys" and "rogue nations" were the holdouts, but I guess not.

Also, Islam forbids 'riba', right? - so I was thinking Islamic countries with Islamic banking practices might not have one.

hmmm.....

They still have central banks. They have innovative ways to charge interest without calling it interest.

And bankers have even more power there, you can be jailed for not paying your debts.

They basically call it a "fee" instead of interest. If you want to borrow money to buy a car, they buy the car for you and keep the title. When you pay back the money plus the "fee" (which could also be calculated as an interest payment), you get the title. If you want to borrow money for your business, they take a share of the business including a share in your profits- in effect, shareholders.
