In the YouTube video “Holy Sh*t!! A Stealth Form Of QE Was Just Revealed,” the speaker discusses lesser-known forms of Quantitative Easing (QE) and how banks create money through various means. The speaker introduces the concept of “stealth QE,” which is identical to traditional QE but rarely discussed. He uses a whiteboard to illustrate the process of the Federal Reserve buying treasuries from banks and creating bank reserves, resulting in an asset swap. Furthermore, the speaker challenges the common belief that only the Federal Reserve can create new money through QE. He presents examples of non-bank entities selling treasuries directly to the FED and banks purchasing treasuries from one another, leading to the creation of new money on their balance sheets.
People are starting to see the reality… banks cutting back is the real “money” supply in our system

The M2 money supply is down 3.0% on an annual average basis.
Just as surging M2 is correlated with high inflation, falling M2 is associated with economic depressions & bank panics.
If history is anything to go by, the "higher for longer" narrative could prove to be as accurate… pic.twitter.com/2XZzM2RAhP

It all boils down to banks having access to money or not.
If they don’t have access to money, we get recessions and depressions.
And vice versa.
