Must Read: The Bankers own the Earth through their legalized counterfeiting operations
Capitalism is organized crime. It has nothing to do with “free markets” and
everything to do with illegitimate debt-slavery and captive usury markets. It is
by design that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, not by accident.
Capitalism is a fundamentally bankrupt and broken concept that must be replaced by
an entirely new ethic based on the principles of fair trade and economic justice.
The only reason the current parasitic economic model is able to persist is because
99% of the population is economically illiterate and does not comprehend how the
money system operates to enslave them. Money is Not Freedom. Money is Control.
Money never truly belongs to any lone individual and it is in fact a shared social
communal resource that is an essential part of the basis for forming a community.
The custodianship of money is a sacred trust that we must always honor and protect
to the full extent of our ability.
“Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a
dangerous servant and a fearful master.”
- George Washington
“I am convinced that those societies [such as the Native American peoples] which
live without government enjoy in their general mass an infinitely greater degree
of happiness than those who live under the European governments. Among the former,
public opinion is in the place of law, and restrains morals as powerfully as laws
ever did anywhere. Among the latter, under pretence of governing they have divided
their nations into two classes, wolves and sheep. I do not exaggerate.”
- Thomas Jefferson
“The modern theory of the perpetuation of debt has drenched the earth with blood,
and crushed its inhabitants under burdens ever accumulating.”
- Thomas Jefferson
“I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations,
which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid
defiance to the laws of our country.”
- Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to George Logan, November 12, 1816
“I sincerely believe that banking institutions having the issuing power of money,
are more dangerous to our liberty than standing armies. Already they have raised
up a moneyed aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing
power [of money] should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to
whom it properly belongs.”
- Thomas Jefferson
“The system of banking we have both equally and ever reprobated. I contemplate it
as a blot left in all our constitutions, which, if not covered, will end in their
destruction. I sincerely believe, with you…that the principle of spending money
to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a
large scale.”
- Thomas Jefferson
“To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the
powers of Congress is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer
susceptible of any definition. The incorporation of a bank, and the powers assumed
by this bill (chartering the first Bank of the United States) have not, in my
opinion, been delegated to the United States by the Constitution. They are not
among the powers specially enumerated.”
- Thomas Jefferson
“I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution – taking
from the Federal Government their power of borrowing [from privately-owned
corporate banks].”
- Thomas Jefferson, 1798
“We are undone, my dear sir, if legislation is still permitted which makes our
money, much or little, real or imaginary, as the moneyed interests shall choose to
make it.”
- Thomas Jefferson
“All the perplexities, confusions, and distresses in America arise, not from
defects in the Constitution or confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, as
much as from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation.”
- John Adams
“Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who
have a right…and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, an
indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and
envied kind of knowledge, I mean of the characters and conduct of their rulers.”
- John Adams
“There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword, the
other is by debt.”
- John Adams
“History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue,
deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by
controlling money and its issuance.”
- James Madison
“Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who writes
the laws.”
- Mayer Amschel Rothschild, founder of the Rothschild international banking
dynasty, 1790
“The rich will strive to establish their dominion and enslave the rest. They
always did…they always will. They will have the same effect here as elsewhere,
if we do not, by the power of government, keep them in their proper spheres.”
- Gouvernor Morris, head of the committee that wrote the final draft of the U.S.
Constitution
“A nation of well informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights
which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that
tyranny begins.”
- Benjamin Franklin
“You see, a legitimate government can both spend and lend money into circulation,
while banks can only lend significant amounts of their promissory bank notes, for
they can neither give away nor spend but a tiny fraction of the money the people
need. Thus, when your bankers here in England place money in circulation, there is
always a debt principal to be returned and usury to be paid. The result is that
you have always too little credit in circulation to give the workers full
employment. You do not have too many workers, you have too little money in
circulation, and that which circulates, all bears the endless burden of unpayable
debt and usury.”
- Benjamin Franklin, speaking at the London Parliament
“In the colonies, we issue our own money. It is called ‘Colonial Scrip’. We issue
it in proper proportion to the demands of trade and industry to make the goods
pass easily from the producers to the consumers. In this manner, creating for
ourselves our own paper money, we control it’s purchasing power and we have no
interest to pay to anyone.”
- Benjamin Franklin, speaking at the London Parliament
“The colonies would gladly have borne the little tax on tea and other matters, had
it not been that England took away from the colonies their money, which created
great unemployment and dissatisfaction. Within a year, the poor houses were
filled. The hungry and homeless walked the streets everywhere. The inability of
the colonists to get power to issue their own money permanently out of the hands
of George III and the International Bankers was the Prime Reason for the
Revolutionary War.”
- Benjamin Franklin, as quoted from his autobiography
“The refusal of George III to allow the colonies to operate an honest money
system, which freed the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators,
was probably the Prime Cause of the Revolution.”
- Benjamin Franklin
“Unless you become more watchful in your states and check this spirit of monopoly
and thirst for exclusive privileges, you will in the end find that the most
important powers of government have been given or bartered away, and the control
of your dearest interests have been passed into the hands of these corporations.”
- Andrew Jackson
“If congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper money, it was
given them to use themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or corporations.”
- Andrew Jackson
“You [International Bankers] are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you
out, and by the Eternal God, I will rout you out. If the American people only
understood the rank injustice of our money and banking system, there would be a
revolution before morning.”
- Andrew Jackson, in an address to Congress, 1829
“The bold effort the present bank has made to control the Government, the distress
it has wantonly produced…are but premonitions of the fate that awaits the
American People should they be deluded into a perpetuation of this institution
(The Bank of the United States), or the establishment of another like it.”
- Andrew Jackson
“[A central bank] controlling our currency, receiving our public monies, and
holding thousands of our citizens in dependence, it would be more formidable and
dangerous than a naval and military power of the enemy.”
- Andrew Jackson
“Nothing but widespread suffering will produce any effect on Congress. Our only
safety is in pursuing a steady course of firm restriction – and I have no doubt
that such a course will ultimately lead to restoration of the currency and the
recharter of the bank (The Bank of the United States).”
- Nicholas Biddle, President of the American Bankers Association
“I killed the Bank [for now].”
- Andrew Jackson, engraved upon his tombstone to commemorate his victory in
defeating the Bank of the United States recharter bill
“When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders
of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the
hand that takes…Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and
without decency; their sole object is gain.”
- Napoleon Bonaparte, 1815
“We, the People, are the rightful masters of both the Congress and the Courts. Not
to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who have perverted it.”
- Abraham Lincoln
“I have two great enemies, the southern army in front of me and the financial
institutions in the rear. Of the two, the one in the rear is the greatest enemy.
The Money Power preys upon the nation in times of peace, and conspires against it
in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than
autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who
question its methods or throw light upon its crimes.”
- Abraham Lincoln
“The division of the United States into federations of equal force was decided
long before the Civil War by the high financial powers of Europe. These bankers
were afraid that the United States, if they remained as one block, and as one
nation, would attain economic and financial independence, which would upset their
financial domination over the world. The voice of the Rothschilds prevailed.
Therefore, they sent their emissaries into the field to exploit the question of
slavery to open an abyss between the two sections of the union.”
- Otto von Bismarck, Chancellor of Germany, 1876
“The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits
needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of
consumers. The privilege of creating and issuing money is not only the supreme
prerogative of Government, but it is the Government’s greatest creative
opportunity. By the adoption of these principles…the taxpayers will be saved
immense sums of interest [by not having to borrow from privately-owned corporate
banks]…Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity.
Democracy will rise superior to the Money Power.”
- Abraham Lincoln, Senate Document 23, Page 91, 1865
“I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to
tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have
been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the Money
Power of the country will endeavour to prolong its reign by working upon the
prejudices of the people (e.g., by pitting the cooperation-oriented political left
against the competition-oriented political right), until the wealth is aggregated
in the hands of a few, and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this time more
anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of the
war.”
- Abraham Lincoln, in a letter written to one of his Generals during the American
Civil War
“If that mischievous financial policy which had its origin in the North American
Republic (i.e., honest Constitutionally authorized debt-free money) should become
indurated down to a fixture, then that government will furnish its own money
without cost. It will pay off its debts and be without a debt [to the
International Bankers]. It will have all the money necessary to carry on its
commerce. It will become prosperous beyond precedent in the history of the
civilized governments of the world. The brains and wealth of all countries will go
to North America. That government must be destroyed or it will destroy every
monarchy on the globe.”
- The Times Newspaper of London, opinion-editorial commentary, 1862
“The death of Lincoln was a disaster for Christendom. There was no man in the
United States great enough to wear his boots and the bankers went anew to grab the
riches. I fear that foreign bankers with their craftiness and tortuous tricks will
entirely control the exuberant riches of America and use it to systematically
corrupt modern civilization. They will not hesitate to plunge the whole of
Christendom into wars and chaos in order that the earth should become their
inheritence.”
- Otto von Bismarck, Chancellor of Germany, after Abraham Lincoln’s assassination
“Right after the Civil War there was considerable talk about reviving Lincoln’s
brief experiment with the Constitutional monetary system. Had not the European
money-trust intervened, it would have no doubt become an established institution.”
- Dr. W. Cleon Skousen, author of ‘The Naked Capitalist’ and ‘The Naked Communist’
“I went to America in the winter of 1872-73, authorised to secure, if I could, the
passage of a bill demonetising silver. It was in the interest of those I
represented – the governors of the Bank of England – to have it done [because gold
is much scarcer and more easily controlled by them than silver is]. By 1873, gold
coins were the only form of coin money.”
- Ernest Seyd, Agent of the Bank of England
“It is advisable to do all in your power to sustain such prominent daily and
weekly newspapers, especially the Agricultural and Religious Press, as will oppose
the greenback issue of paper money and that you will also withhold patronage from
all applicants who are not willing to oppose the government issue of money…To
repeal the Act creating bank notes, or to restore to circulation the government
issue of money will be to provide the people with money and will therefore
seriously affect our individual profits as bankers and lenders. See your
congressman at once and engage him to support our interests that we may control
legislation.”
- Secretary James Buell, speaking at an American Bankers Association meeting, 1877
“On Sept. 1st, 1894, we will not renew our loans under any consideration. On Sept.
1st we will demand our money. We will foreclose and become mortgagees in
possession. We can take two-thirds of the farms west of the Mississippi, and
thousands of them east of the Mississippi as well, at our own price…Then the
farmers will become tenants as in England…”
- Memo of the American Bankers Association, as printed in the U.S. Congressional
Record of April 29, 1891
“Corporate entities are persons, under the law. They are separate persons from the
very real human persons who own them and run them. We have the Supreme Court of
the United States to thank for this perversion. Through corruption of our
government and courts, corporations subverted their original intended purpose and
acquired the legal status of “natural persons” while also preserving their
limited-liability legal protections [which results in corporate 'citizens' having
more legal rights than human citizens do]. This subversion was institutionalized
in an 1886 Supreme Court decision of which Judge William O. Douglas would later
write, “There was no history, logic, or reason given to support that view.” Thus
corporations gained Bill of Rights protections, and more, even before women and
minorities had full protection. We are currently living in an era of sophisticated
corporation-state feudalism.”

“Whomsoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all
industry and commerce and when you realize that the entire system is very easily
controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not
have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate.”
- James Garfield, assassinated within weeks of release of this statement during
the first year of his presidency in 1881
“I am afraid that the ordinary citizen will not like to be told that the banks
can, and do, create and destroy money. The amount of money in existence varies
only with the action of the banks in increasing or decreasing deposits and bank
purchases. Every loan, overdraft or bank purchase creates a deposit, and every
repayment or bank sale destroys a deposit…And they who control the credit of a
nation, direct the policy of Governments and hold in the hollow of their hands the
destiny of the people. “
- Reginald McKenna, former Chancellor of the Exchequer of England, 1924
“Banks lend by creating credit. They create the means of payment out of nothing.”
- Ralph M. Hawtrey, former Secretary of the British Treasury
“The bank hath benefit of interest on all moneys which it creates out of nothing.”
- William Paterson, founder of the Bank of England, 1694
“From the days of Spartacist-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky
(Russia), Bela Kun (Hungary), Rosa Luxembourg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United
States), this world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the
reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious
malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing. It played, as a
modern writer, Mrs. Webster, has so ably shown, a definitely recognisable part in
the tragedy of the French Revolution. It has been the mainspring of every
subversive movement during the Nineteenth Century; and now at last this band of
extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and
America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads and have become
practically the undisputed masters of that enormous empire.”
- Winston Churchill, ‘Zionism versus Bolshevism’, in the Illustrated Sunday Herald
(London), February 8, 1920
“Marxists can always be relied upon to defend the International Bankers, to their
dying breath, by portraying capitalism as some sort of vague, accidental
ideological abstraction that either everybody or nobody is truly responsible for,
rather than as a very specific, profoundly evil system perpetrated by very
specific individuals, who are acting with full intention to drain the lifeblood
from the Republic until it is dead. This fact alone should be enough to raise
suspicion of the Marxists’ real intention, which is to focus primarily on
property-based ‘class’ conflict (with its implication that everyone ought to be an
impoverished peasant) without ever clearly defining the real methods by which the
ruling ‘class’ stays in power, so that they can attempt to convince the public
that these methods are some kind of magic that only Marxist intellectuals can
understand and con them into merely substituting the existing capitalist
tyrannical order with a communist one. The Marxists are totally anti-democratic
and seem to truly envy the Money Power more than they despise it.”

“Left and Right are monolithic ideas – colossal, abstract, and, as their religious
origins suggest, cosmic. They are part of the darker side of humanity that
replaces the specific with the general, the personal with the impersonal. If you
wanted to find a way of making certain that people would have as little as
possible in common, there would be no better way than to divide them, not into ten
or three or four, but into two. Dual division turns the largest possible sections
of humanity against one another, often causing neighbors and compatriots to have
nothing to say to one another. No regeneration of community can begin without a
careful demolition of Left and Right; nor can this tearing down be relinquished to
academic abstraction, technical philosophy, government, corporations, or ideology.
Nothing can be built without a new politics – least of all with a politics that
refers outward to ideas of Heaven and Hell rather than inward to the experience of
daily life.”
- Hugh Graham, in his book ‘The Vestibule of Hell: Why Left and Right Have Never
Made Sense in Politics and Life’
“This isn’t just your normal case of shrill, success-hating, bleeding-heart, eatthe-
rich, lawsuit-happy, commie-liberal bed-wetters versus racist, war-mongering,
slack-jawed, Bible-thumping, woman-hating, eco-rapist knuckle-draggers. But it is
politics as usual.”

“Obviously, neither communism nor fascism has any interest whatsoever in
democracy; they both claim that democracy is an unrealistic Utopian fantasy. In
fact, they both use each other as convenient scapegoats for their own crimes
against democracy and human rights. True autonomist democracy can only emerge from
a radically centered libertarian-anarchist philosophy that values competition and
cooperation equally, the so-called meta-political ‘third-position’, which is the
greatest threat to both the left and right extremes. The real struggle that is
going on in the world today is the struggle for democracy against ALL tyranny, not
merely ‘class’ war to substitute the tyrannical fiscal aristocracy with some
despotic peasant-emporer. Phoney third-positionism is easy to reveal because it
embraces both fascist and communist principles, rather than rejecting them.”

“If I told you I thought the world was controlled by a handful of capitalists and

“My political opinions lean more and more to anarchy (philosophically understood,
meaning abolition of control not whiskered men with bombs). There is only one
bright spot and that is the growing habit of disgruntled men of dynamiting

“The true equation is “democracy” = government by world financiers.”
- J.R.R. Tolkien, in ‘The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien’
“The main mark of modern governments is that we do not know who governs, de facto
any more than de jure. We see the politician and not his backer; still less the
backer of the backer; or, what is most important of all, the banker of the
backer.”

“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me
privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce
and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power
somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so
pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in
condemnation of it.”
- Woodrow Wilson, 1913
“The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in
the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson,
and I am not wholly excepting the Administration of Woodrow Wilson. The country is
going through a repetition of Jackson’s fight with the Bank of the United States,
only on a far bigger and broader basis.”
- Franklin D. Roosevelt
“The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant
octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. It seizes in its
long and powerful tentacles our executive officers, our legislative bodies, our
schools, our courts, our newspapers, and every agency created for the public
protection. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self
created screen…At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil
interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as
International Bankers. The little coterie of powerful International Bankers
virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They
practically control both parties, write political platforms, make catspaws of
party leaders, use the leading men of private organizations and resort to every
device to place in nomination for high public office only such candidates as will
be amenable to the dictates of corrupt big business. These International Bankers
and Rockefeller Standard Oil interests control the majority of newspapers and
magazines in this country.”
- John F. Hylan, New York City Mayor, New York Times, March 26, 1922
“This [Federal Reserve] Act establishes the most gigantic trust (monopoly) on
earth. When the President [Woodrow Wilson] signs this bill, the invisible
government by the Monetary Power will be legalized. The people may not know it
immediately, but the day of reckoning is only a few years removed. The trusts will
soon realize that they have gone too far even for their own good. The people must
make a declaration of independence to relieve themselves from the Monetary Power.
This they will be able to do by taking control of Congress. Wall Streeters could
not cheat us if you Senators and Representatives did not make a humbug of
Congress…The greatest crime of Congress is its currency system. The worst
legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking bill. The caucus and
the party bosses have again operated and prevented the people from getting the
benefit of their own government.”
- Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr., 1913
“But the whole scheme of a Federal Reserve Bank with its commercial-paper basis is
an impractical, cumbersome machinery, is simply a cover, to find a way to secure
the privilege of issuing money and to evade payment of as much tax upon
circulation as possible, and then control the issue and maintain, instead of
reduce, interest rates. It is a system that, if inaugurated, will prove to the
advantage of the few and the detriment of the people of the United States. It will
mean continued shortage of actual money and further extension of credits; for when
there is a lack of real money people have to borrow credit to their cost.”
- Alexander Lassen in a statement before the Senate Banking and Currency
Committee, 1913
“If it were to be exposed publicly that our particular group had got together and
written a banking bill, that bill would have no chance whatever of passage by
Congress”

the Federal Reserve, Saturday Evening Post, Feb. 9, 1935
“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial
nation is controlled by its own system of credit. Our system of credit is
concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in
the hands of a few men…who necessarily, by very reason of their own limitations,
chill and check and destroy genuine economic freedom. We have come to be one of
the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments
in the civilized world, no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a
government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the
opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”
- Woodrow Wilson
“Suppose you go to Washington and try to get at your government. You will always
find that while you are politely listened to, the men really consulted are the big
men who have the biggest stakes – the big bankers, the big manufacturers, the big
masters of commerce…Every time it has come to a critical question, these
gentlemen have been yielded to, and their demands treated as the demands that
should be followed as a matter of course. The government of the United States is a
foster child of the special interests. It is not allowed to have a will of its
own.”
- Woodrow Wilson, 1912
“If monopoly persists, monopoly will always sit at the helm of government. I do
not expect monopoly to restrain itself. If there are men in this country big
enough to own the government of the United States, they are going to own it.”

“The fact is that there is a serious danger of this country becoming a plutodemocracy;
that is, a sham republic with the real government in the hands of a
small clique of enormously wealthy men, who speak through their money, and whose
influence, even today, radiates to every corner of the United States.”
- William McAdoo, President Woodrow Wilson’s National Campaign Vice-Chairman, in
his book ‘Crowded Years’
“We [bankers] must proceed with caution and guard every move made, for the lower
order of people are already showing signs of restless commotion. Prudence will
therefore show a policy of apparently yielding to the popular will until our plans
are so far consummated that we can declare our designs without fear of any
organized resistance. The Farmers Alliance and Knights of Labor organizations in
the United States should be carefully watched by our trusted men, and we must take
immediate steps to control these organizations in our interest or disrupt them. At
the coming Omaha Convention to be held July 4th [1892], our men must attend and
direct its movement, or else there will be set on foot such antagonism to our
designs as may require force to overcome. This at the present time would be
premature. We are not yet ready for such a crisis. Capital must protect itself in
every possible manner through combination (conspiracy) and legislation. The courts
must be called to our aid, debts must be collected, bonds and mortgages forclosed
as rapidly as possible. When through the process of the law, the common people
have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and easily governed through the
influence of the strong arm of the government applied to a central power of
imperial wealth under the control of the leading financiers. People without homes
will not quarrel with their leaders. History repeats itself in regular cycles.
This truth is well known among our principal men who are engaged in forming an
imperialism of the world. While they are doing this, the people must be kept in a
state of political antagonism. The question of tariff reform must be urged through
the organization known as the Democratic Party, and the question of protection
with the reciprocity must be forced to view through the Republican Party. By thus
dividing voters, we can get them to expand their energies in fighting over
questions of no importance to us, except as teachers to the common herd. Thus, by
discrete action, we can secure all that has been so generously planned and
successfully accomplished.”
- Revealed by Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh before the U.S. Congress sometime
during his term of office between the years of 1907 and 1917
“Very soon, every American will be required to register their biological property
in a National system designed to keep track of the people and that will operate
under the ancient system of pledging. By such methodology, we can compel people to
submit to our agenda, which will affect our security as a chargeback for our fiat
paper currency. Every American will be forced to register or suffer not being able
to work and earn a living. They will be our chattel, and we will hold the security
interest over them forever, by operation of the law merchant under the scheme of
secured transactions. Americans, by unknowingly or unwittingly delivering the
bills of lading to us will be rendered bankrupt and insolvent, forever to remain
economic slaves through taxation, secured by their pledges. They will be stripped
of their rights and given a commercial value designed to make us a profit and they
will be none the wiser, for not one man in a million could ever figure our plans
and, if by accident one or two would figure it out, we have in our arsenal
plausible deniability. After all, this is the only logical way to fund government,
by floating liens and debt to the registrants in the form of benefits and
privileges. This will inevitably reap to us huge profits beyond our wildest
expectations and leave every American a contributor to this fraud which we will
call “Social Insurance.” Without realizing it, every American will insure us for
any loss we may incur and in this manner; every American will unknowingly be our
servant, however begrudgingly. The people will become helpless and without any
hope for their redemption and, we will employ the high office of the President of
our dummy corporation to foment this plot against America.”
- Edward Mandell House, Presidential Foreign Policy Advisor, in a private meeting
with President Woodrow Wilson
“It (Central Bank) gives the National Bank almost complete control of national
finance. Those few who understand the system (check book money and credit) will
either be so interested in its profits, or so dependant on its favours, that there
will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of
the people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that
capital derives from the system, will bear its burden without complaint, and
perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical (contrary) to their
interests.”

“…the lord and master of the money markets of the world, and of course virtually
lord and master of everything else. He literally held the revenues of southern
Italy in pawn, and monarchs and ministers of all countries courted his advice and
were guided by his suggestions.”
- Benjamin Disraeli, Prime Minister of Britain, describing Baron Nathan Rothschild
in his novel ‘Coningsby: Or The New Generation’
“When the conflict with France ended [at the battle of Waterloo] the House of
Rothschild was in control of British finance and was the official banker of the
British Government. This odd financial octopus was acknowledged to be in some
respects the greatest power on the earth and was acknowledged by some writers as
the ‘Sixth Great Power of Europe’.”
- E.C. Knuth, in his book ‘The Empire of The City’
“I care not what puppet is placed on the throne of England to rule the
Empire…The man that controls Britain’s money supply controls the British Empire.
And I control the money supply.”
- Baron Nathan Rothschild
“The House of Rothschild plays a much bigger role in France than any foreign
government…There are, of course, reasons for it, which seem to me neither good
nor gratifying: money is the great [motivating] force of France, and corruption is
quite openly reckoned with…Among us [in Austria] this commodity finds but few
friends.”
- Prince Metternich, Chancellor of Austria
“Rothschild was now banker to empires and continents – to all the principal
European countries, to Eurasian Russia, to the Americas, to the Indies. It has
been estimated that the London house alone placed 6,500 million dollars worth of
foreign loans during the first ninety years of its existence. Moreover, the other
Rothschild branches in Paris, Vienna, Frankfurt and Naples were just as busy,
which unequivocally means that upon Rothschild vaults converged the credit of the
Western World.”
- Frederic Morton, in his book ‘The Rothschilds: Portrait of a Dynasty’
“The total wealth encompassed by the clan (Rothschilds) during most of the
nineteenth century has been estimated at well over 400 million pounds (600 million
dollars). No one else, from the Fuggers to the Rockefellers, has come even close
to that hair-raising figure.”
- Frederic Morton, in his book ‘The Rothschilds: Portrait of a Dynasty’
“Edmond de Rothschild was a backstage force in politics. He belonged to the
steering committee of the secretive Bilderberg circle, an informal association of
political and financial top brass that has sometimes been called more powerful
than national governments…and he was a major benefactor of Israel.”

“Because the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank of New York sets interest rates
and controls the daily supply of price of currency throughout America, the owners
of that bank are the real directors of that whole system. The shareholders of
these banks which own the stock of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York are the
people who have controlled our political and economic destinies since 1913. They
are the Rothschilds, Lazard Freres (Eugene Mayer), Israel Sieff, Kuhn Loeb
Company, Warburg Company, Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, the Rockefeller family,
and the J.P. Morgan interests.”
- Eustace Mullins, in his book ‘The Secrets Of The Federal Reserve’
“The Federal Reserve Bank is pretty secretive about who it’s owning banks or
shareholders are. It has been determined that the “Class A” stock in the Federal
Reserve Bank is held by the following 8 institutions: Rothschild Banks of London
and Berlin, Lazard Brothers Bank of Paris, Israel Moses Seif Bank of Italy,
Warburg Bank of Hamburg and Amsterdam, Lehman Bank of New York, Kuhn Loeb Bank of
New York, Chase Manhattan Bank of New York, Goldman Sachs Bank of New York. The
Remaining Stock is held by the Chemical Trust and the Rockefeller Trust. These
stockholders hold Federal Government Obligations which amount to about $6 trillion
dollars – the entire U.S. National Debt. Their annual profits from interest
payments are over $200 billion dollars per year.”

“Bill Gates is not the ‘richest man in the world’ by a long shot. His $50 billion
dollar fortune (give or take) is virtually nothing compared to the wealth and
economic power of the Rothschild dynasty. Baron Jacob Rothschild (who controls the
Rothschild banking dynasty) is personally owed at least half of the U.S. national
debt (which is now some $6 trillion dollars) because the privately-owned
Rothschild Bank and its proxies maintain a majority ownership and controlling
interest in the U.S. Federal Reserve System; and this at least $3 trillion dollar
amount obviously does not even include the debt that many other nations ultimately
owe to the Rothschild banking network. The interest payments alone provide the
Rothschild Bank with at least $100 billion dollars per year. The reason that the
Rothschild dynasty remains generally obscure to the public is because virtually
all of their assets are privately-owned and they are very carefully protected from
public scrutiny by various ways and means. It has been estimated that the
Rothschild dynasty, directly or indirectly, controls a very substantial portion of
the $55 trillion dollars in annual total gross world product (GWP) that exists in
the world today.”

“To ignore the pivotal role played by particular individuals who are in positions
of power is to do violence to historical accuracy. A recognition that the course
of economic events can be influenced by individuals who have the imagination and
the power to take advantage of prevailing conditions does not constitute

“The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is
perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented.
Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the earth.
Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money and control
credit, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it
all back again. However, take this great power away from them, and all the great
fortunes like mine disappear, and they ought to disappear, for this would be a
happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of
Bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money
and control credit.”
- Sir Josiah Stamp, Director of the Bank of England in the 1920s, reputed to be
the second richest man in the British Empire at that time
“A civilization based on a system of parasitic usury economics will ultimately
destroy itself, because fractional-reserve ‘banking’, combined with compound
‘interest’, is truly and totally contrary to the modern “Establishment” economic
theory that it represents some kind of perpetual-motion machine. Our economic
system was not designed to, nor was it intended to, function honorably for the
benefit and general prosperity of all; it was specifically designed to create a
nation of debt slaves under the control of a molesting central bank. The
perpetrators of the system understand fully that it is not sustainable and must
inevitably collapse in a state of insoluble debt, but by that point they expect to
have gained full and indisputable control over everything by reconstituting the
destroyed republic into their own final endgame vision: A Despotic and Tyrannical
New World Order. The 450 richest people in the world now have accumulated
financial assets greater than the combined wealth of the 3,000,000,000 poorest;
half of the human race. The only possible explanation for this is that the
international economic system has been subverted and corrupted by fully
intentional activities, directed towards undermining national governments and
creating institutionalized, privately-owned central bank cartels throughout the
world to concentrate and consolidate power into the hands of the financial
crimelords who own them. Money must become neutralized in order for the world to
be saved from perpetual tyranny.”

“If all the bank loans were paid, no one could have a bank deposit, and there
would not be a dollar of coin or currency in circulation. This is a staggering
thought. We are completely dependent on the commercial banks. Someone has to
borrow every dollar we have in circulation, cash or credit. If the banks create
ample synthetic money we are prosperous; if not, we starve. We are absolutely
without a permanent money system. When one gets a complete grasp of the picture,
the tragic absurdity of our hopeless position is almost incredible, but there it
is. It is the most important subject intelligent persons can investigate and
reflect upon. It is so important that our present civilization may collapse unless
it becomes widely understood and the defects remedied very soon.”
- Robert H. Hamphill, Credit Manager, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, 1935
“We can create money by fiat. Our checkbook doesn’t have a ledger. So you write
out the check, it’s (money/currency) just transmogrified out of thin air. Which is
a nice checkbook to have (oh yeah, I’ll bet it is).”

“Banking institutions are casinos where the bank owners gamble upon who will be
able to repay the principle and usury on the loans they make and who will instead
fail and have to go bankrupt (with the bank seizing any collateral on the loan).
Gambling is the essence of what all bank loaning is, for both the borrower and the
lender. Wall Street itself is really just a big casino. The fact that bank owners,
as opposed to regular citizens, are allowed to create money (as fiat debts) on
fractional reserve terms (typically up to 10 times their deposits) is the greatest
destabilizing factor in our society because it creates an especially priveleged
class of citizens with such incredible financial power so far above and beyond the
rest of humanity. Having a democratic society is not even a remote possibility
when a class of citizens (bankers) enjoys the privelege of creating monetary
claims to wealth (as binding social contract) out of absolutely nothing other than
their signature on pieces of paper. Without economic democracy, there can be no
political democracy.”

“The United States is like a poker game where the chips have become concentrated
in fewer and fewer hands, and where other fellows can stay in the game only by
borrowing. When the credit runs out, the game will stop.”
- Marriner Eccles, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, 1931-1934
“While economic textbooks claim that people and corporations are competing for
markets and resources, I claim that in reality they are competing for money -
using markets and resources to do so. Greed and fear of scarcity are being
continuously created and amplified as a direct result of the kind of money we are
using. For example, we can produce more than enough food to feed everybody, and
there is definitely enough work for everybody in the world, but there is clearly
not enough money to pay for it all. In fact, the job of central banks is to create
and maintain that currency scarcity. Money is created when banks lend it into
existence. When a bank provides you with a $100,000 mortgage, it creates only the
principal, which you spend and which then circulates in the economy. The bank
expects you to pay back $200,000 over the next 20 years, but it doesn’t create the
second $100,000 – the interest. Instead, the bank sends you out into the tough
world to battle against everybody else to bring back the second $100,000.”
- Bernard Lietaer, former Central Banker (Belgium)
“Your money’s value is determined by a global casino of unprecedented proportions:
$2 trillion are traded per day in foreign exchange markets, 100 times more than
the trading volume of all the stockmarkets of the world combined. Only 2% of these
foreign exchange transactions relate to the “real” economy reflecting movements of
real goods and services in the world, and 98% are purely speculative. This global
casino is triggering the foreign exchange crises which shook Mexico in 1994-1995,
Asia in 1997 and Russia in 1998. These emergencies are the dislocation symptoms of
the old Industrial Age money system.”
- Bernard Lietaer, former Central Banker (Belgium)
“In addition to almost unlimited usury, the bankers have another method of drawing
vast amounts of wealth. The banks are able to approve or disapprove large loans to
large and successful corporations to the extent that refusal of a loan will bring
about a reduction in the selling price of the corporation’s stock. After
depressing the price, the bankers’ agents buy large blocks of the company’s stock.
Then, if the bank suddenly approves a multi-million dollar loan to the company,
the stock rises and is then sold for a profit. In this manner, billions of dollars
are made with which to buy more stock. This practice is so refined today that the
Federal Reserve Board need only announce to the newspapers an increase or decrease
in their “discount rate” to send stocks soaring or crashing at their whim. Banks
collect billions in interest by loaning to Government and the Corporations.”
- Pastor Sheldon Emry
“The basis of money in today’s world is not simply the trading of one thing of
obvious value (say, a gold coin) for another thing of obvious value (for example,
a keg of beer) which, in fact, would be more a form of barter than a modern day
monetary purchase. In the modern economy, the value of money is based strictly on
mutual faith and faith alone – faith in pieces of paper signed by a Central Banker
as having whatever value he decides to give them, such as is the case with Federal
Reserve Notes. This faith that the paper has some kind of value is basically a
game of “let’s pretend” on the part of the banker supported only by the fact that
the banker has seized control of the government and he will not tolerate any
uncontrolled standard of exchange to compete with his official monopoly of
interest-bearing usury ‘money’. In essence, this means that every time you spend a
Federal Reserve Note you are making a very profound expression of faith that the
Central Banker is a kind of ‘god’ who can conjure value out of absolutely nothing
because this is his ‘divine right’. Not only that, but you also become
perpetually, irredeemably indebted to him, as a form of ‘worship’ for his creating
of the ‘money’ by the usury tribute that the fiendish parasite demands of you for
his ‘service’ (e.g., the U.S. $6 trillion dollar debt). This is capitalism – a
glorified pyramid scheme for making money off of money.”

“Despite making such obscenely huge profits off the backs of the American people
for its stockholders, the Federal Reserve Bank pays no taxes whatsoever and its
accounts have never been audited by the government. In fact, the government is
essentially employed by the bank as its population management and control division
to facilitate the bank’s profit-making operations worldwide – the exact reverse of
what most people think. This arrangement actually results in making our government
(especially the IRS) a for-profit institution by proxy.”

“There is a large class of people who believe that paper can be, and ought to be,
made into money without any promise or hope of redemption; that a note should be
printed: “This is a dollar,” and be made a legal tender. I regard this as a mild
form of lunacy, and have no disposition to debate with men who indulge in such
delusions, which have prevailed to some extent, at different times, in all
countries, but whose life has been brief, and which have shared the fate of other
popular delusions. The Supreme Court only maintained the constitutionality of the
legal tender promise to pay a dollar by a divided court, and on the ground that it
was issued in the nature of a forced loan, to be redeemed upon the payment of a
real dollar; that is, so many grains of silver or gold. I therefore dismiss such
wild theories, and speak only to those who are willing to assume, as an axiom,
that gold and silver or coined money, have been proven by all human experience to
be the best possible standards of value, and that paper money is simply a promise
to pay such coined money, and should be made and kept equal to coined money, by
being convertible on demand.”
- Secretary of Treasury John Sherman, 1877

“As to the assumed authority of any assembly in making paper money, or paper of

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their
currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, (i.e. the “business cycle”) the

their fathers conquered.”
- Thomas Jefferson, in the debate over the Recharter Of The Bank Bill, 1809
“The abandonment of the gold standard made it possible for the welfare statists to
use the banking system as a means to an unlimited expansion of credit. In the
absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation
through inflation. There is no safe store of value. Deficit spending is simply a
scheme for the ‘hidden’ confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this
insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps
this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists’ antagonism toward the
gold standard.”
- Alan Greenspan in his essay ‘Gold and Economic Freedom’, written in 1966 for the
newsletter ‘The Objectivist’, before he crossed over to the Dark Side
“The International Bankers have already hedged themselves against any return to a
gold-backed currency (gold standard). Such a move would be disastrous for the
nation now. After 1913, the Bankers plundered the USA of as much gold as possible
(including the U.S. Treasury’s gold in Fort Knox) by loaning themselves immense
sums of their own fiat paper money from their new Federal Reserve Bank to do so
(from 1933 until 1974 it was illegal for American citizens to even own gold and it
is currently still illegal for American citizens to use gold or silver coins as
legal tender – on penalty of up to 5 years in prison!). Fort Knox has never been
in any way audited since the Eisenhower days and its gold has been made available
for purchase by the banks under various schemes. The Bankers now own most of the
world’s gold and could easily manipulate its value to their liking if it were to
become the basis for a national currency (the IMF is currently the largest gold
owner in the world). Thus, when the Bankers create their next financial panic in
order to manipulate and exploit the public’s terror, they may very well delude
them into thinking that the dollar could be strengthened by backing it with gold
again, and this would merely tighten the International Bankers’ control over the
economy even further while simultaneously fostering the illusion in the minds of
the people that they would be safe with a new non-fiat currency. Silver is much
better for backing a currency with than gold (at least for now) because it is
fifteen times more plentiful than gold and the market for silver would be much
harder to corner. In the long term, however, the only real safety is in having a
plurality of different currency standards and barter opportunities continually
available for the public to choose from, plus the vital elimination of all
interest/usury and fractional-reserve accounting. Collusion and monopoly are where
the dangers arise and awareness, vigilance and economic democracy are the only
solutions.”

“Strictly speaking, it probably is not necessary for the federal government to tax
anyone directly, it could simply print the money it needs. However, that would be
too bold a stroke, for it would then be obvious to all what kind of counterfeiting
operation the government is running. The present system of combining taxation and
inflation is akin to watering the milk: too much water and the people catch on.”
- Congressman Ron Paul
“Taxation has only one real purpose in our present economy, it is used to justify
the monopoly fiat currency we are using in the mind of the public by forcing them
to pay their taxes with only this currency – and no other alternative currencies.
It is merely a mechanism for ensuring that the populance is forced to keep the
Central Bank’s money in circulation, and thus assure the continuation of the
Federal Reserve scam. You will find that virtually every complex aspect of macroeconomic
“science” is carefully designed to obfuscate the fact that the money
lords completely own and control the economic system and designed it specifically
to enslave the rest of us so that they can run it for their own profit.”

“Examining the organization and function of the Federal Reserve Banks and applying
the relevant factors, we conclude that the Federal Reserve Banks are not Federal
instrumentalities…but are independent and privately owned and controlled
corporations…Federal Reserve Banks are listed neither as ‘wholly owned’
government corporations [under 31 U.S.C. Section 846] nor as ‘mixed ownership’
corporations [under 31 U.S.C. Section 856]…It is evident from the legislative
history of the Federal Reserve Act that Congress did not intend to give the
Federal government direction over the daily operation of the Reserve Banks…The
fact that the Federal Reserve Board regulates the Reserve Banks does not make them
Federal agencies under the Act…Unlike typical Federal agencies, each bank is
empowered to hire and fire employees at will. Bank employees do not participate in
the Civil Service Retirement System. They are covered by worker’s compensation
insurance, purchased by the Bank, rather than the Federal Employees Compensation
Act. Employees traveling on Bank business are not subject to Federal travel

of the United States out of enough money to pay the national debt. The
depredations and the iniquities of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal
reserve banks acting together have cost this country enough money to pay the
national debt several times over. This evil institution has impoverished and
ruined the people of the United States; has bankrupted itself, and has practically
bankrupted our Government. It has done this through defects of the law under which
it operates, through the maladministration of that law by the Federal Reserve
Board and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it.”

people, and thus paid off and returned his internationalist political support. The
UN is but a long-range, international banking apparatus clearly set up for
financial and economic profit by a small group of powerful One-World

banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements, arrived at in frequent
private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for
International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and
controlled by the world’s central banks which were themselves private
corporations. Each central bank…sought to dominate its government by its ability
to control treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level
of economic activity in any country, and to influence cooperative politicians by
subsequent economic rewards (lucrative ‘consulting’ gigs) in the business
world…The growth of financial capitalism made possible a centralization of world
economic control and use of this power for the direct benefit of financiers and
the indirect injury of all other economic groups.”

“There does exist and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile
network which operates, to some extent, in the way the radical Right believes the
Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table
groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups,
and frequently does so. I know of the operations of this network because I have
studied it for 20 years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to
examine its papers and secret record.”

“The government of the Western nations, whether monarchical or republican, had
passed into the invisible hands of a plutocracy, international in power and grasp.
It was, I venture to suggest, this semi-occult power which pushed the mass of the
American people into the cauldron of World War I.”
- Major General J.F.C. Fuller, British Military Historian, 1941
“In a small Swiss city (Basel) sits an international organization so obscure and
secretive [that few people know about it]…Control of the institution, the Bank
for International Settlements, lies with some of the world’s most powerful and
least visible men; the heads of 32 central banks, officials able to shift billions
of dollars and alter the course of economies at the stroke of a pen.”
- Keith Bradsher of the New York Times, August 5, 1995
“The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is eager to enter into close relationship
with the Bank for International Settlements…The conclusion is impossible to
escape that the State and Treasury Departments are willing to pool the banking
systems of Europe and America, setting up a world financial power independent of
and above the Government of the United States.”
- Congressman Louis T. McFadden, Chairman of the House Committee on Banking and
Currency, quoted from the New York Times, June 1930
“Ever since the Civil War, Congress has allowed the bankers to control financial
legislation. The membership of the Finance Committee in the Senate (now the
Banking and Currency Committee) and the Committee on Banking and Currency in the
House have been made up chiefly of bankers, their agents, and their attorneys…In
this way the committees have been able to control legislation in the interests of
the few.”

“The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is “The Establishment”. Not only does it
have influence and power in key decision-making positions at the highest levels of
government to apply pressure from above, but it also announces and uses
individuals and groups to bring pressure from below, to justify the high level
decisions for converting the U.S. from a sovereign Constitutional Republic into a
servile member state of a one-world dictatorship.”
- Former Congressman John Rarick, 1971
“The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is the American Branch of a society which

“The Trilateral Commission is intended to be the vehicle for multinational
consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the
political government of the United States. The Trilateral Commission represents a
skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of
power – political, monetary, intellectual, and ecclesiastical. All this is to be
done in the interest of creating a more peaceful, more productive world community.
What the Trilateralists truly intend is the creation of a worldwide economic power
superior to the political governments of the nation-states involved. They believe
the abundant materialism they propose to create will overwhelm existing
differences. As managers and creators of the system they will rule the future.”
- Senator Barry Goldwater, former Republican Party candidate for President, in his
book ‘With No Apologies’, 1964
“The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world

intent.”

“The technotronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled
society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by [obsolete]

even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject
to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities.”

“In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder
interest, and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the
newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the
United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the
daily press…They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of
the greatest papers. An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was
bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to
properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness,
militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international
nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers.”
- Congressman Oscar Callaway, 1917

“There is no such thing, at this date of the world’s history, in America, as an
independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to
write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it will never
appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper
I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things,
and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on
the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in
one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The
business of the journalist is to destroy the truth; to lie outright; to pervert;
to vilify; to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and to sell his country and his race for
his daily bread. You know it and I know it and what folly is this toasting an
independent press? We are the tools and vassels for rich men behind the scenes. We
are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our
possibilities and our lives are the property of other men. We are intellectual
prostitutes.”

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and
other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected
their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible
for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of
publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and
prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an
intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination
practiced in past centuries.”
- David Rockefeller, in an address to the Trilateral Commission meeting in Baden-
Baden, Germany, 1991
“For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political
spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller
family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political
and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working
against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me
as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a
more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will.
If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”
- David Rockefeller, found on page 405 of his memoirs
“I think the subject which will be of most importance politically is mass
psychology…Various results will soon be arrived at: that the influence of home
is obstructive…although this science will be diligently studied, it will be
rigidly confined to the governing class. The populace will not be allowed to know
how its convictions were generated. When the technique has been perfected, every
government that has been in charge of education for a generation will be able to
control its subjects securely without the need of armies or
policemen…Educational propaganda, with government help, could achieve this
result in a generation. There are, however, two powerful forces opposed to such a
policy: one is religion; the other is nationalism…A scientific world society
cannot be stable unless there is a world government.”
- Bertrand Russell, 1958
“There is a small circle of men who control the world’s finance. Each member,
before initiation, knows its religion to be reward for friends and extermination
of enemies. Once a man is within the magic circle…punishment for disloyalty is

power on Earth protect him from it. The magic circle is at the receiving end of
the greatest information bureau in the world.”

“Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalistic
System was to debauch the currency…Lenin was certainly right. There is no more
surer, more subtler means of destroying the existing basis of society than to
debauch the currency. By a continuing process of [leveraged] inflation,
governments can confiscate secretly and unobserved, an important part of the
wealth of the citizens. The process engages all of the hidden forces of economics
on the side of destruction and does it in a manner that not one man in a million
can diagnose…If governments should refrain from regulation (taxation) and
allowed matters to take their course (price explosion) the [even less than]
worthlessness of the money becomes apparent and the fraud upon the public can be
concealed no longer.”
- John Maynard Keynes, Economist
“The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which

Went’, 1975
“If two parties, instead of being a bank and an individual, were an individual and
an individual, they could not inflate the circulating medium by a loan
transaction, for the simple reason that the lender could not lend what he didn’t

that they manufacture [out of nothing] by lending it.”

an independent voice.”

Board Chairman, 2001
“To modern minds, it seemed bizarre to think of the Federal Reserve as a religious
institution. Yet the conspiracy theorists, in their own demented way, were on to
something real and significant. The Fed does in fact function in the realm of
religion. Its mysterious powers of money creation, inherited from priestly
forebears, shielded a complex bundle of social and psychological meanings. With
its own form of secret incantation, the Federal Reserve presided over awesome
social ritual, transactions so powerful and frightening they seemed to lie beyond
common understanding. Above all, money was a function of faith. It required
implicit and universal social consent that was indeed mysterious. To create money
and use it, each one must believe, and everyone must believe. Only then did
worthless pieces of paper take on value.”
- William Grieder, former Assistant Managing Editor of The Washington Post, in his
book ‘Secrets of the Temple: How the Federal Reserve Runs the Country’, 1987
“Banking establishments are…moral and religious institutions (usury is
sacred?)…What has been [the young tradesman's] anxiety to stand well in the
estimation of his banker?…Has not the frown of his banker been of more influence
with him than the jeers and discouragements of his friends? Has he not trembled to
be supposed guilty of deceit or the slightest misstatement, lest it should give
rise to suspicion, and his accommodation be in consequence restricted or
discontinued?…And has not that friendly advice been of more value to him than
that of priest?”
- G.M. Bell, a Scottish bank Director
“Those who swallow down usury cannot arise except as one whom Satan has prostrated
by his touch does rise. That is because they say, trading is only like usury; and
Allah has allowed trading and forbidden usury. To whomsoever then the admonition
has come from his Lord, then he desists, he shall have what is already passed, and
his affairs is in the hands of Allah; and whoever returns to it – these are the
inmates of the fire; they shall abide in it…”

“Meanwhile, we hand the small thieves [their punishments]…Little thieves are put
in the stocks, great thieves go flaunting in gold and silk…Therefore is there,
on this earth, no greater enemy of man (after the Devil) than a gripemoney, and
usurer, for he wants to God over all men. Turks, soldiers, and tyrants are also
bad men, yet must they let the people live, and confess that they are bad, and
enemies, and do, nay, must, now and then show pity to some. But the usurer and
money-glutton, such a one would have the whole world perish of hunger and thirst,
misery and want, so far as in him lies, so that he may have all to himself, and
everyone may receive from him as from a God, and be his serf forever.”
- Martin Luther
“It is almost amusing that some Federal Reserve currency is marked with the words
“In God We Trust”. Nothing could be further from the truth. To trust in God is to
continue to diligently and honestly work for your rewards and to live your life
accepting that fate could someday take away all of your accumulated fortune and
leave you having to start over again from nothing – if God saw fit to do this to
you for some reason. In total contrast to this principle, banks operate entirely
under the unnatural concept of trying to hedge against God, not trust Him, and
they entertain the notion that a pile of money must have the infinite capacity to
grow, through processes of usury where no useful work whatsoever is involved, so
that the filthy rich who sit on these piles can feel safer about their future and
avoid the risks that everyone else must endure every day. Financial titans are
vile cowards, not heroes – the only way they can stay rich is to make sure
everyone else stays poor. Banking institutions are a social pathology and the
Devil’s embassies on Earth.”

“Lucre (fiat debt legal fiction life control certificates) is the black magick
false quintessence of this illusory world that we live in; it can be converted
into ‘anything’ and ‘anything’ can be converted into it. I am convinced that it
has a primitive form of consciousness all of its own – an encoded form of pure ego
created for the absolute usurpation of all credit, debit and value – as if the
whole of reality itself exists purely in debt to the international banking
dynasties. These vampire dynasties want everyone else either enslaved to them or
dead because they consider themselves to be god-like. The divine right of kings
has become the divine right of bankers and their evil is law. The over-systems are
made entirely out of worthless pieces of vampire paper with signatures on them and
they are continually fine-tuned over time by the money parasites to feed upon the
masses of humanity as much as they dare to. You are all economic thrall subjects
to Wall Street sociopaths who worship rational egoism.”

“The most sinister and anti-social feature about bank-deposit money is that it has
no existence. The banks owe the public for a total amount of money which does not
exist. In buying and selling, implemented by cheque transactions, there is a mere
change in the party to whom the money is owed by the banks. As the one depositor’s
account is debited, the other is credited and the banks can go on owing for it all
the time. The whole profit of the issuance of money has provided the capital of
the great banking business as it exists today. Starting with nothing whatever of
their own, they have got the whole world into their debt irredeemably, by a trick.
This money comes into existence every time the banks ‘lend’ and disappears every
time the debt is repaid to them. So that if industry tries to repay, the money of
the nation disappears. This is what makes prosperity so ‘dangerous’ as it destroys
money just when it is most needed and precipitates a slump. There is nothing left
now for us but to get ever deeper and deeper into debt to the banking system in
order to provide the increasing amounts of money the nation requires for its
expansion and growth. Our money system is nothing better than a confidence
trick…The “money power” which has been able to overshadow ostensibly responsible
government is not the power of the merely ultra-rich but is nothing more or less
than a new technique to destroy money by adding and withdrawing figures in bank
ledgers, without the slightest concern for the interests of the community or the
real role money ought to perform therein…to allow it to become a source of
revenue to private issuer’s is to create, first, a secret and illicit arm of
government and, last, a rival power strong enough to ultimately overthrow all
other forms of government…An honest money system is the only alternative.”

“If our nation can issue a dollar bond, it can issue a dollar bill. The element
that makes the bond good, makes the bill good, also. The difference between the
bond and the bill is the bond lets money brokers collect twice the amount of the
bond and an additional 20%, whereas the currency pays nobody but those who
contribute directly in some useful way. It is absurd to say that our country can
issue $30 million in bonds and not $30 million in currency. Both are promises to
pay, but one promise fattens the usurers and the other helps the people.”
- Thomas Edison, The New York Times, December 6, 1921
“Economic warfare spans political warfare and military warfare and supersedes
both, which are merely tools in the hands of those who are the masters of economic
systems. The public is systematically misled, almost hypnotically, to believe that
no such hidden masters of economic systems actually exist, or could even possibly
exist, and that all of the economic strife in the world today is strictly the
result of unplanned human incompetence when, in fact, very deliberate economic
warfare is being carried out. Populations struggle to find purely political or
military solutions to their economic problems, or they are manipulated and duped
into giving yet more economic control over to their masters, in the name of their
own prosperity, because they do not fully understand the real principles of
economics and banking and remain perpetual hostages to their own economic
illiteracy. The myth of their non-existence is what protects the hierarchies of
the international money cults of the world and allows them to continue their
constant rivalries against one another, and to maintain their existence at the
dire cost of their subject populations.”

oil interests in 1914. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American
sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the

“War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most
profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It
is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in
lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it
seems to the majority of the people. Only a small ‘inside’ group knows what it is
about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very
many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.”

dispense with all sentimentality and day-dreaming; and our attention will have to
be concentrated everywhere on our immediate national objectives…We should cease

“A Government that makes peaceful revolution impossible, makes armed revolution
inevitable.”
- John F. Kennedy
“The high office of President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the
American’s freedom, and before I leave office I must inform the citizen of his
plight.”
- John F. Kennedy, 10 days before his
Assassination
“Every communist must grasp the truth; political power grows out of the barrel of
a gun.”
- Mao Zedong
“Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a
well-armed lamb contesting the vote!”
- Benjamin Franklin
“When the government fears the people, you have liberty; when the people fear the
government, you have tyranny.”
- Thomas Jefferson
“It is not the function of the government to keep the citizen from falling into
error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into
error.”
- Judge Robert H. Jackson, U.S. Supreme Court Justice
“Liberty has never come from government! Liberty has come from the subjects of
government. The history of liberty is the history of resistance!”
- Woodrow Wilson, 1912
“Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.”
- Benjamin Franklin
“In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated, and
scorned. When his cause succeeds however, the timid join him, for then it costs
nothing to be a patriot.”
- Mark Twain
“Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is
a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.”
- Thomas Paine
“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety
deserve neither liberty nor safety [and they will very quickly lose both].”
- Benjamin Franklin
“Trade liberty for safety or money and you’ll end up with neither. Liberty, like a
grain of salt, easily dissolves. The power of questioning – not simply believing -
has no friends. Yet liberty depends on it.”
- Thomas Jefferson
“And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure, when we have removed their
only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are
of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath [incurred
by the ownership of slaves]? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that
God is just: that his justice can not sleep forever…The Almighty has no
attributes which can take side with us in such a contest…I think a change is
already perceptible, since the origin of the present revolution. The spirit of the
master is abating, that of the slave rising from the dust, his condition
mollifying, the way, I hope, preparing, under the auspices of Heaven, for a total
emancipation; and that this is disposed, in the order of events, to be with the
consent of the masters, rather than by their extirpation (total elimination).”
- Thomas Jefferson, in ‘Commerce Between Master and Slave’, 1782
“If you aren’t ready to die for it, put the word “freedom” out of your
vocabulary.”
- Malcolm X
“You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don’t ever count on having both at
once.”
- Robert A. Heinlein
“Liberty means responsibility. That is why most men dread it.”
- George Bernard Shaw
“The perverse deceptiveness characteristic of the fiendish parasites who control
the Federal Reserve Bank is readily apparent to those who know the necessary
historical truths. The fact that they adorn their notes with the symbols of the
Freemasons and pictures of our Masonic Knight national heroes [to help carry on
the charade that the Fed is a government institution], who were actually
diametrically (totally) opposed to the Fed’s existence and its type of ‘money’, is
an outrageous mockery that is outright diabolical, and must be the insider’s
‘joke’ of all time. Unfortunately, the consequences of this colossal con to the
American people, and the entire world, are all too deadly serious. The Federal
Reserve Bank is not federal, has no reserves, and is not even really a bank.”
- [Anonymous]
“The eyes of our citizens are not sufficiently open to the true cause of our
distress. They ascribe them to everything but their true cause, the banking
system; a system which if it could do good in any form is yet so certain of
leading to abuse as to be utterly incompatible with the public safety and
prosperity. The Central Bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility
existing against the principles and form of our Constitution.”
- Thomas Jefferson
“Once a nation parts with the control of its currency and credit, it matters not
who makes the nation’s laws. Usury, once in control, will wreck any nation. Until
the control of the issue of currency and credit is restored to government and
recognized as its most conspicuous and sacred responsibility, all talk of the
sovereignty of parliament and of democracy is idle and futile.”
- William Lyon Mackenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada, 1935
“All the ingredients for ending poverty of a person always comes neatly packaged
with the person himself. A human being is born in this world fully equipped not
only to take care of himself (which all other life-forms can do too), but also to
contribute in enlarging the well-being of the world as a whole. Poverty is not
created by the poor people. So we shouldn’t give them an accusing look. They are
the victims. Poverty has been created by the economic and social system that we
have designed for the world. It is the institutions that we have built, and feel
so proud of, which created poverty. It is the concepts we developed to understand
the reality around us, made us see things wrongly! It is the failure at the top -
rather than lack of capability at the bottom – which is the root cause of poverty.
Concepts, institutions, and analytical frame conditions which created poverty,
cannot end poverty. If we can intelligently re-work the frame conditions, poverty
will be gone, never to come back again…Try to imagine how the economists would
have built their theory if they had started out with an axiom that all men and
women are created equal, that each of them is endowed with unlimited creativity,
and each of them is a potential entrepreneur. In some important ways our designing
of the theoretical framework of economics or the misrepresentation of it is
responsible for perpetuating poverty.”
- Professor Muhammad Yunus, Creator of Grameen Bank in Commonwealth Lecture 2003,
Winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize
“Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be
overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings.”
- Nelson Mandela
“While they prate of ‘economic laws’, men and women are starving [to death]. We
must lay hold of the fact that ‘economic laws’ are not made by nature. They are
made by human beings.”
- Franklin D. Roosevelt
“Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the
fact that it is impersonal – that there is no human relation between master and
slave.”
- Leo Tolstoy
“Throughout the ages, the devices of cunning men have turned money to their
nefarious purposes. Money, beginning with private enterprise as a means of
escaping the limitation of barter, soon developed the cheat to exploit the honest
trader who, in an effort to protect himself, turned to government for protection,
only to find that now he had two thieves, the private money changer and the
political plunderer working hand in glove against him. By this combination the
money changer gained the prestige of political sanction through legislative
license and the state secured a deceptive device for laying taxes upon the
citizenry [by means of the hidden tax called inflation]. It was and remains a
vicious alliance.”
- E.C. Reigel
“The greatest enemy of mankind is his ignorance of the inherent money power in all
of us. When the realization of this comes to man, he will like Samson, push down
the walls of his prison.”
- E.C. Reigel
“Nothing is more dangerous to the power of the elite than the public discovery and
understanding of the private control of the money supply.”
- Antony Sutton, in his book ‘The Federal Reserve Conspiracy’
“The issue which has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought
sooner or later is The People vs. The Banks.”
- Lord Acton, Historian and Lord Chief Justice of England, 1875
“The people must be helped to think naturally about money. They must be told what
it is, and what makes it money (as binding social contract), and what are the
possible tricks of the present system which put nations and peoples under control
of the few.”
- Henry Ford, in his book ‘My Life and Work’, 1922
“Although we have so foolishly allowed the field of circulating medium to be
filched from us by private individuals, I think we may recover it…The states
should be asked to transfer the right of issuing paper money to Congress, in
perpetuity.”
- Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to John Eppes, 1813
“The treasury, lacking confidence in the country, delivered itself bound hand and
foot to bold and bankrupt adventurers and bankers pretending to have money, whom
it could have crushed at any moment.”
- Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to Treasury Secretary Gallatin, 1815
“Banking doesn’t involve fraud, banking is [the heart of] fraud.”
- Tim Madden, Monetary Historian and Consumer Advocate
“The best way to rob a bank is to own one.”
- William K. Black, the title of his book on banking
“And the banks – hard to believe in a time when we’re facing a banking crisis that
many of the banks created – are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. And
they frankly own the place…We don’t own them, they own us.”
- Senator Dick Durbin, May 2009
“Those who believe that history is only made by the men on the stage and
determined by the most evident economic, social, political, and cultural factors,
do not see and do not seek any other explanation; and yet this is exactly what
every force operating in secret desires.”
- Julius Evola
“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society,
they create for themselves in the course of time, a legal system that authorizes
it and a moral code that glorifies it.”
- Frederic Bastiat, Political Economist, in his book ‘Economic Sophisms’
“A definite factor in getting a lie believed is the size of the lie. The broad
mass of the people, in the simplicity of their hearts, more easily fall victim to
a big lie than to a small one.”
- Adolf Hitler
“What luck for rulers that men do not think.”
- Adolf Hitler
“The perfect slave is the slave who thinks that he is free.”
- Goethe
“Telling the truth is always revolutionary.”
- Antonio Gramsci
“For we are opposed around the world, by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy,
that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence, on
infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of election, on
intimidation instead of free choice. It is a system which has conscripted vast
human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient
machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and
political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes
are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No
expenditure is questioned. No secret is revealed. That is why the Athenian
Lawmaker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. I am
asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American
people, confident that with your help, man will be what he was born to be – Free
and Independent.”
- John F. Kennedy, 1961
“Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and the Republic for which it stands.
Miracles do not cluster, and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen
again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail,
there will be anarchy throughout the world.”
- Congressman Daniel Webster
“The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.”
- Thomas Paine
