I can still remember how surprised I was as a teen when I learned about how banks create money out of nothing, and that they weren't required to keep 100% of their deposits on hand.
A few years ago, I watched a documentary showing how each of our four US Presidents that were assassinated: Presidents Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and Kennedy when he signed Executive Order 11110 allowing the US to print its own debt-free money, and was shot dead 5 months later, were all cut down after seeking to rein in the power of the central banks.

I got to this type of enlightenment a bit later, unfortunately, but grateful for that nevertheless.
