Here follows an informative, partial and brief synopsis of the book, "The
Creature from Jekyll Island" by G. Edward Griffin. I have read it and it
is "eye-popping":
Alright. How do we slay
the Creature from Jekyll Island and its siblings? The first step in turning
it around is to AUDIT THE FEDERAL RESERVE.
There has never
been a thorough, comprehensive audit of the Federal Reserve since its
creation in 1913. Such an Audit is long overdue.
YOU have the power to make it happen if you
continually ask your Congressmen and Senators to co-sponsor H.R. 1207 and S.
604.

The events described in this document likely
happened long before you were born.
You are now experiencing the
consequences of what happened upon Jekyll Island in 1910.
The Creature from Jekyll
Island
- a fantastic but true story.
What has it to do with
you?
Everything.
Our economic system is in
trouble,
people are losing jobs,
housing prices are collapsing,
with more to come...
This is happening NOW
because of
what happened on Jekyll
Island in 1910.
by G. Edward Griffin
It
was November of 1910 when Senator Nelson Aldridge sent his private railroad
car to the New Jersey railroad station where it was held in readiness,
awaiting the arrival of himself and six other men who were told to come under
conditions of secrecy. They were told not be seen together as they went to
the railroad station, not to dine together, not to tell anybody really except
maybe the closest persons in their family where they were going, and certainly
not even to tell them why they were going.
One of the men on that train
carried a shotgun in a big black case for the purpose of -- had he been
stopped by a newspaper reporter and asked where he was going -- he was
prepared to say he was going on a duck hunting trip. And we discover later
from the memoirs of one of his children that this man didn't even own that
gun, he never fired a shotgun in his life, and it was a borrowed weapon simply
for the purpose of deception.
What were these seven men
trying so desperately to hide?
After the men boarded the private
railroad car -- the equivalent of a private Boeing jet today -- they were told
that when they got on board, they were to continue the conditions of total
secrecy. They were instructed not to address one another by their last
names. They were told to address each other by first names only, and in the
case of two of these men, they dropped their first names completely and
adopted code names.
From the writings of one of these
men who wrote about it years later: he said that the purpose of such secrecy
was so that the servants on board the railroad car would not know the names of
all the participants. Obviously, they knew the name of Senator Nelson
Aldridge. They were employed by him. And, they might have known the names of
one or two of the others but not all, and it was the list of all of these
names together that was unusual; these were very powerful and influential and
well-known men. It their presence on that train has been leaked by the
servants, it they had just talked about it, it might have gone from one person
to another person and the first thing you know it would have been in the
newspapers and would have completely defeated the purpose of the meeting.
And what was the purpose of
the meeting?
Once on board the train, they
traveled for two nights and a day. I'm sure they were discussing their
ultimate plans all the way along, and when they awoke the next morning, they
were at Brunswick, Georgia. They got off the train and were taken by
ferry-boat across the inland straights to Jekyll Island. In those days,
Jekyll Island was owned by a very small group of billionaires (by today's
inflated standards) from New York. It was a private island. It was a resort
club where the families of the very, very wealthy went to escape the cold
winter months of New York.
They had beautiful "cottages" as
they called them. You can visit Jekyll Island today and you can see that
these so-called cottages were really mansions -- architectural splendors. But
the showcase of the whole island was the clubhouse, and it too is still
standing. You can visit there today. You don't have to take a ferry-boat.
You can now drive across a bridge. The clubhouse is a well-preserved
beautiful wooden structure. It was in that clubhouse that the men went and
sat around a little table in one of the blue rooms and cranked out all the
details of what was to become the "Federal Reserve System".
By the way, they also relieved
all the servants at the clubhouse and brought in a new, temporary employees to
serve this elite group -- again for the purpose of not being able to recognize
and therefore talk about the attendees.
If you visit the island today,
don't miss the main attraction. On the main floor as you're going out what
you would probably call the back door, is a little narrow hallway. Just
before you step outside, turn to your left and there is a door, and on the
door there's a plaque, and it says, "In this room in 1910 the Federal
Reserve was created."
In that room there's a table --
possibly the same one used in 1910 -- with a bunch of chairs around it and
pictures of the men on the wall.
What I'm telling you is not
secret, it's just not well known. I went to the research facilities of the
island. They had a librarian there. She was a wonderful lady and she was more
than happy to open up all of her filing cabinets and show me photographs and
notes and records dating to that meeting and that period -- very helpful. So
this is not secret information today. It comes from that library.
In 1910 those men sat around that
table for a week and then, when they were done, they got back on the train,
back in that private railroad car, and I'm sure they were still discussing it
on the way back, and they they disappeared into the environs of Wall Street
and New York.
For many years after that, these
seven men denied -- vehemently denied -- that they attended such a meeting.
Never happened, they said. Gradually, as the word got out and more people
began to discuss it, they said, "Well yes, we went, but we just went to play
some poker and smoke some good cigars, a gentleman's meeting, you know, and do
some duck hunting.
Finally, after the Federal
Reserve Act was passed into law three years later in 1913 during Woodrow
Wilson's administration, and even after that, when people in America began to
accept the existence of the Federal Reserve System, then and only then did
these seven men begin to talk openly about their role and what they did there,
what they discussed, and what decisions they made.
The decisions they made in
1910 are economically controlling you today as you read this article.
Your future depends upon understanding what they are doing to you, your
children, and our country --- and DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
And so today, because of their
memoirs and because of the biographies that have been written about them by
friendly biographers, and by the notes of their children and through
interviews with newspaper reporters, you can go to any well-stocked library
today and read in minute detail exactly what was on the minds of these seven
men, what decisions they made and why they came to those decisions.
We are now living, enduring,
and suffering their legacy.
Now, who were these seven men?
The first one I've already
mentioned was Senator
Nelson Aldridge. He
was the one who owned the railroad car. He was perhaps the most powerful
politician in Washington at the time, second only to the President of the
United States, who at the time was William Howard Taft. Aldridge was Chairman
of the National Monetary Commission. That was the special branch of Congress
which was given the job of coming up with proposed legislation that would be
offered to Congress and to the American people as a solution to a big problem
in banking.
The problem was that Americans
were deeply concerned at that time over the concentration of financial power
into the hands of a few powerful brokerage firms and banking institutions in
Wall Street and in New York, and in those days they called that the Money
Trust.
So Senator Aldridge was the
chairman of that special committee that was to draft this legislation. Now,
you need to know more about him. He was a very wealthy man, he was a business
associate of JP Morgan, he was the father-in-law to John D. Rockefeller,
Jr., which of course made him the grandfather to our former Vice President
of the United States, Nelson Rockefeller. You may remember that Nelson
Rockefeller's middle name was Aldridge; Nelson Aldridge Rockefeller,
and so he was named after his very famous grandfather.
The second man on board the
private railroad car to Jekyll Island was
Abraham Piatt Andrew.
He was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. He was the only federal official
on board, and even that is not a correct explanation or description of him,
because he was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury because he came from a very
wealthy banking family. He was primarily a banker before he want into
Washington as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. So, his heart and his
loyalties were really with the banks -- an interesting person.
All of these seven characters
were rich with history. Andrew later became a Congressman, but more than
that, he represented some of the largest Wall Street investment firms and he
also went to Moscow during the period leading up to the Bolshevik Revolution.
He was instrumental in transmitting huge amounts of money from Wall Street
into the coffers of the Bolsheviks. The plan as he and others explained it
was simply to buy influence among the Bolsheviks so that when they came to
power, they could then close the deal and exploit Russia's natural resources
and have some influence over the political Bolsheviks. Abraham Piatt Andrew
was not just an Assistant Secretary of the Treasure ... he was a man with an
interesting track record and was well connected with the banking system.
The third person on board was
Frank Vanderlip. He
was the president of the National City Bank of New York, which was one of the
big banks -- the biggest of all the banks at that time, representing the
financial interests of William Rockefeller and Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
Henry Davidson
was also on board that train. He was a senior partner of JP Morgan Company.
Charles Norton was at
Jekyll Island. He was the president of the First National Bank of New York,
another one of the giants.
Benjamin Strong was
there. He was head of JP Morgan's Banker's Trust Company, and he later became
the first actual head of the Federal Reserve System in 1913.
And, finally, last but not
least: Paul Warburg
was there. He was probably the most important person in terms of knowledge
of banking. He was a naturalized American citizen. He was born in
Germany and was a full partner of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and then he was a
representative of the Rothschild's banking dynasty in England and
France, and throughout all of his career in the United States, he maintained a
very close business relationship with his brother Max Warburg, who was
head of the Warburg banking consortium in Germany and The Netherlands.
Those were the seven men who
created the Federal Reserve System. By the way, about Warburg, if there are
any little Orphan Annie fans here, you may remember the character Daddy
Warbucks. If you had lived at that time, you would have known that Daddy
Warbucks was really a characterization of Paul Warburg, even his appearance --
the bald-head and everything else.
These seven men were well known
at the time and they were the subject of cartoons and caricatures. If you
recall the game Monopoly, the original art work in Monopoly -- a little fat
banker with a cigar sitting on a bag of money -- that's J.P. Morgan.
These are the men who went to
Jekyll Island under conditions of extreme secrecy and created the Federal
Reserve System. According to the estimates in the newspapers at the time,
these men represented directly, through the wealth which they personally
controlled or, indirectly, through the institutions which they directed -- the
banking institutions around the world. They represented approximately
one-fourth OF THE WEALTH OF THE ENTIRE WORLD. Now, think about
that for a minute: are these the kind of fellows you would want to break
the grip of the Money Trust?
Why did the banks and the federal
government form this partnership? What's in it for them? When people go into
partnership, there's usually something of benefit to both partners or they
wouldn't do it. So, let's take a look at that and, in order to answer that
question, we have to examine for a moment how money is created in America and
most of the world today. I call this the Mandrake Mechanism, because it does
enable the banks to create money out of nothing and to cause it to disappear
back into nothing. Now, let's see how this process works.
Congress likes to spend money ---
lots and lots of money, because that makes Congressmen popular; they get
elected by giving away benefits, etc. Spending money is an important activity
for politicians, but raising taxes in order to pay for their benefits is not a
popular thing. So politicians always have this dilemma of how to spend more
money without increasing taxes.
But if you're a politician, that
is no problem whatsoever. You just borrow it like anybody else might borrow
it. If you want to spend more than you take in, you borrow it, and then you
can spend it for awhile, at least. On the private side of the equation,
people like you and me can only do that up to a point and then we run out of
credit and we lose our property.
Politicians don't have that
little problem because they can just keep creating it and creating it,
increasing the national debt and so forth, and they never expect to pay it
back. It never crosses their minds. They just know that in their dark little
hearts, they're going to keep creating money, borrowing money, spending and
spending, until the economy collapses, and they they'll say, "Golly, I wonder
what happened?" And then they'll start it all over again until everyone is
bankrupt.
Now what? Here's where the
Creature from Jekyll Island
-- the Federal
Reserve System --
comes into the picture. Let's just mentally imagine that the Secretary of the
Treasury walks into the Federal Reserve building and the president of the
Federal Reserve says, "Come in, Sir, we've been expecting you. Since you come
here every day, we know you're here for a loan." The treasury official says,
"Yes, I'm here for a loan." And the Federal Reserve officer says, "Well, how
much would you like today?" And the treasury official says, "Oh, another
billion would probably cover us until noon tomorrow." And the Federal Reserve
president says, "No problem."
The treasury official says, thank
you very much. On his way out, he deposits the billion dollar loan from the
Federal Reserve into the account of the federal government, and now the
federal government has another billion dollars, just like that. Everybody's
happy.
The question, though, is WHERE
DID THOSE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS COME FROM? Who put it into the account?
Who invested it in there? What account? As a matter of fact, it turns out
there is no account. There's no money. It is simply created. It's just a
bad check is all it is, but nobody's allowed to call it a bad check because
it's "legalized" by the Federal Reserve Act. If you and I were to do it, we
would go to jail; but the Federal Reserve can do it because Congress wants
them to do it.
You see, this is a beautiful
source of any amount of money in a heartbeat. Whenever the federal government
needs paper "money" ... like all the bailouts you've been hearing about lately
... they get it -- created out of thin air by the Federal Reserve. The
Federal Reserve System creates it out of thin air anytime the government needs
it and then gives it to the federal government, supposedly as a loan. But
they're not loaning anything. They've just created it. It's an act of
creation (of phony paper money unbacked by gold or silver), not an act of
loaning. So that's why the politicians are in the partnership because it is a
very convenient and reassuring way to know that they can get any amount of
"money" at an instant notice, any time they need it.
Why are the banks in it? The
Federal Reserve says that the banks have to keep 10% of all their loans in
reserve. So, if all their loans that are out there have to be backed by 10%
in reserve --- I, as a smart banker, get a piece of paper out there and I
write across the top oft he ledger "reserve". I enter $1,000. Okay. $1,000
is 10% of what? Oh, $10,000. So that means I can loan $9,000 and still have
10% reserves, can't I, because I put the reserve in first. So now, I can
create the money out of thin air and loan it to you, and I've complied with my
requirement through the Federal Reserve because I have 10% in reserve.
By the time they add in the
interest they're making on nothing, now the interest figure goes up by at
least a factor of nine -- at least that, and in some cases even more because
they have ways of repeatedly rotating this process in and out and working on
the float.
Let's see how it affects YOU.
When this money is created out of nothing, the money supply expands. It
expands at a rate greater than the expansion of goods and services. The
discrepancy between the money supply and the value that's underneath it is
what we call inflation. Prices appear to be going up. I say "appear" to be
going up because they're not really going up. What's really happening is that
the VALUE OF THE DOLLAR IS GOING DOWN. That's the real equation.
Had we lived in ancient Rome and
we had a one ounce gold coin, we would have been able to buy with it a nice
toga, a hand-crafted belt, and a pair of sandals -- that's about the price.
Today, we've got a once ounce gold coin, a Krugerrand or something with no
particular numismatic value, just one ounce of gold, and you take it to a bank
and cash it or take it to a coin store and cash it in real fast before your
paper money loses value --- and you'll find you can buy a nice suit, a
hand-crafted belt, and a nice pair of shoes. The price of these things hasn't
really changed in thousands of years when based upon something of tangible
value.
REPORT CARD ON THE FEDERAL
RESERVE
Let's take a look at how well the
Federal Reserve has done its mission. Let's give it a report card. Just how
well has it done over the past 96+ years?
Since 1913, when it was
enacted in law by Congress, the Federal Reserve has presided over the crashes
of 1921 and 1929, The Great Depression of 1929-1939, recessions in the years
1953, 1957, 1969, 1975, 1981, a stock market Black Monday in 1987, Mr. Toad's
Wild Ride in the stock market since the fall of 1998, and now a complete
meltdown of the dollar, soaring corporate debt, soaring personal debt greater
than ever, business and personal bankruptcies are at an all-time high, banks
and savings and loans have failed in larger numbers than ever before, interest
on the national debt is consuming half of our tax dollars, interest on
consumer debt has driven the average personal savings rate into a negative
range, unemployment is increasing, and --- although income has risen each year
in terms of paper dollars ---
the real purchasing power of such paper dollars for the middle class has been
dropping steadily for over 35 years.
The national debt is well over
7 trillion dollars and now in a vertical climb.
A stack of $100 bills equaling 5 trillion dollars would rise 3,350 miles into
space. Inflation since 1913 has been well over 1,000 percent and it has
destroyed more than 90 percent of the purchasing power of the American people
in that time.
By ANY reasonable standard of
evaluation over the past 96+ years, here is the Federal Reserve System's grade
in that report card:
F minus.
Let's summarize.
What is the benefit to the
members of the partnership? The federal government benefits because it is able
to tax the American people any amount it wishes through a process which the
people do not understand called inflation. They don't realize they're being
taxed which makes it real handy when you're going for re-election. On the
banking side they're able to earn perpetual interest on
nothing. I emphasis the word "perpetual" because remember when the
loan is paid back it's turned around and loaned out to somebody else. Once
that money is created the object of the bank is to stay "loaned up" as they
say. In reality the banks can never stay 100% loaned up and that ratio varies
a lot but the objective is to stay loaned up to whatever extent is possible.
Generally speaking once this money is created in the loan process it is out
there in the economy forever, perpetually earning interest for one of the
members of the banking cartel which created that money.
I came to the conclusion that
the Federal Reserve needed to be abolished for six reasons. I'd like to
read them to you now just so that you get an idea of where I'm coming from. I
put these into the most concise phrasing that I can to make them somewhat
shocking and maybe you'll remember them:
1. The Federal Reserve is
incapable of accomplishing its stated objectives.
2. It is a cartel
operating against the public interest.
3. It's the supreme
instrument of usury.
4. It generates our most
unfair tax.
5. It encourages war.
6. It destabilizes the
economy.
There you have in a condensed
form a crash course on the Federal Reserve System and I can assure you that
you know more about the Federal Reserve than you would probably if you
enrolled in a four year course in economics because they don't teach this
reality in school.
It is unfortunate, but
understandable, that young people in the United States are not taught (in the
government's schools) the history and operation of their country's most
powerful financial institution,
The Federal Reserve System.
Created in 1910, codified by Congress in 1913 (along with the personal
income tax), this "system"
facilitated the U.S. government's ability to inflame the nation's citizens for
the purpose of supporting the European war of 1914-1918 (World
War I). Warfare provides a
source of immense borrowing and provides banking corporations with huge
profits in the form of interest income. Several of these same
Wall Street banks financed
Adolph Hitler's rise to power two decades later preceding World War II. That's
called "playing both sides to benefit the middleman." Ultimately, Hitler
became the bankers' Frankenstein, so he had to be destroyed. But in the
process of destroying him, even more war-generated money was realized by the
Federal Reserve bankers-in-charge.
At this point you may be
wondering, what's the ultimate objective of the individuals that own the
Federal Reserve System? Are they simply accumulating hundreds of
billions of dollars in interest on our national debt and hoarding it somewhere
for themselves? No, they're spending it. They're not accumulating it at all.
What are they spending it for? The answer may surprise you. They're not buying
more yachts and mansions with this money, they've already got all of those
they possibly want. In fact they got rid of the mansions on Jekyll Island a
long time ago because they were bored with them. That's not it. When a person
has all the wealth that you could possibly want for the material pleasures of
life, what is left?
Power. They
are using their river of wealth to acquire
power over you and me and our children and our children's children.
They are spending it to
acquire control over the power centers of society.
The power centers are those groups and institutions through which individuals
live and act and rely on for their information. They are literally buying up
the world but not the real estate and the hardware; they're buying control
over the organizations, the groups and institutions that control people. In
other words, to be specific, they are buying control over politicians,
political parties, television networks, cable networks, newspapers, magazines,
publishing houses, wire services, motion picture studios, universities, labor
unions, church organizations, trade associations, tax-exempt foundations,
multi-national corporations, boy scouts, girl scouts, you name it. Make your
own list of organizations and you will find that this is where those
individuals have been for many decades spending their river of wealth to
acquire operational control, particularly over those institutions and
individuals, those organizations, that represent opposition to themselves.
That's a critical area for expenditure on their part.
This process has gone on not only
to a marked degree in America and in the other industrialized nations of the
world, but it has gone on in the so-called third world or underdeveloped
nations to such a degree that I would say the process is now complete.
They own these countries already. Have you ever wondered what's going on there
at the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank? Kind of an obscure
operation isn't it? you don't read much about it except once in a while on the
back page of the newspaper you find out that Congress at the insistence of the
President authorized another $100 billion for the International Monetary Fund.
And then the article tells you that this money will be used to make loans to
underdeveloped nations or grants to them to raise their standard of living. Do
you REALLY believe that? That's one of those appearances of the fourth kind if
you ever saw one. If the money is to be used to raise the standard of living
of these countries they're not doing a very good job of it because after all
of these decades, after all of these hundreds of billions of dollars, you
cannot point to one country that has had its standard of living
raised one iota by that process. In fact, in most cases it's the other way
around and that's not an accident because the money has not been used to raise
the standard of living. The money does not go to the people in those
countries. It goes to the politicians of those countries,
to their governments, and the money is designed and spent to strengthen
their power structures, their ability to control their populations.
They usually start off as inefficient dictatorships but by the time they get
all this money from the IMF, they are now efficient dictatorships. They have a
well-equipped army, a better bureaucracy, and TOTAL CONTROL OF THEIR SUBJECTS.
That's where the money --- YOUR money --- is being spent.
These countries have been
purchased because the politicians in those countries are now totally addicted
to this money. We talk
about welfare families in America that are third and fourth generation
welfare, they're on the dole forever, they cannot dream of anything else. The
politicians in these countries are the same way and it's now second, third and
in some cases fourth generation international welfare from the United Nations
funding. They have no ideology --- communism, socialism, capitalism, fascism,
what difference does it make? Where's the money? As long as they live well,
they have their mansions, their yachts, their limousines, they go to New York
to the UN and have their suites at the Waldorf-Asoria and that's all they care
about.
These countries have been
purchased through this means and are now owned by these powerful banking
interests. Not only does this transfer of wealth from America to these
countries not raise their standard of living, but it does lower ours.
That too, believe it or not, is part of the plan. Just waste, get rid of
money, get rid of productive power to reduce our standard
of living. A strong nation is not a candidate to surrender its sovereignty
but a weak nation is. If America can ECONOMICALLY be brought to her
knees where she is struggling for survival, if her people are hungry, if we
have riots in our streets, then Americans could possibly be grateful for any
assistance we could get from the U.N. (under the financial control of the same
powerful banking interests).
Those wonderful blue-helmeted
peace-keeping forces could bring order back to our streets or create an
international money, a new world money with purchasing power that again might
be welcomed by the unthinking, unknowing American public devastated first by
depression and then by runaway inflation.
Meanwhile, we've lost the
liberties for which the founders of America gave "their lives and sacred
honor."
What I'm trying to say is that
the name of the game out there is not wealth, it is
power.
POWER.
Our enemies have been working
on total economic control for 100 years. Their entire plan began after
the turn of the last century, and they have the long view of history. Unless
we too have the long view of history, we're never going to turn it around.
But we must take the long view of history because our children,
grand-children, and great-grandchildren will otherwise pay the price for our
indifference and apathy.
"The world is a dangerous
place to live,
not because of the people
who are evil,
but because of the people
who don't do anything about it."

Who Owns the "Federal"
Reserve?
Here's a list you don't see very often...
There are those who say, "When all the so-called 'bail outs
are over' these families will effectively own our country":
Here's a list of the actual owners of the
Federal Reserve:
1. Rothschilds of
London and Berlin (main family)
2. Lazard Brothers
of Paris
3. Israel Moses
Seaf of Italy
4. Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. of Germany and New York
5. Warburg &
Company of Hamburg, Germany
6. Lehman Brothers
of New York
7. Goldman, Sachs
of New York
8. Rockefeller
Brothers of New York
The Federal Reserve is a coercive MONOPOLISTIC
PRIVATE CORPORATION.
The above 8 owners (families) ultimately, through their
combined economic & political power, have the ability to control BOTH
political parties.
____________________________________________
Alright. How do we slay the
Creature from Jekyll Island and its siblings? The first step in turning it
around is to AUDIT THE
FEDERAL RESERVE.
That has never
been a thorough, comprehensive audit of the Federal Reserve since its creation
in 1913. Such an Audit is long overdue.
YOU have the power to make it
happen if you continually ask your Congressmen and Senators to co-sponsor H.R.
1207 and S. 604.
See: http://www.campaignforliberty.com
We are losing our economic and
personal liberties because we've lost control of the organizations that
supposedly represent us.
We need to take back control of our future.
We ourselves have to take the time to support those organizations that are
holding our Congressmen and Senators accountable for their actions and let
them know that The
Creature from Jekyll Island
must be AUDITED and ultimately exposed for what it is: the invisible,
secret, fourth branch of the federal government. It has become
more powerful than the Executive, Judicial, and Congressional branches of
government because it controls the purse strings of those other three
branches. The People of America must insist on REAL change:
and it begins with an AUDIT of the Federal Reserve System.
NOW IS THE TIME
TIME FOR AN AUDIT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM.

Chairman of the Committee on Banking and
Currency (12 years) June 10, 1932
"Some people think the Federal Reserve
Banks are the
United States government's institutions.
They are not government institutions.
They are private credit monopolies
which prey upon the people of the United States
for the benefit of themselves and
their foreign swindlers."
-- Congressional Record 12595-12603 --
Louis T. McFadden,
Chairman of the Committee on Banking and
Currency (12 years) June 10, 1932
From the Federal Reserves Own
Admissions:
"When you or I write a check there must
be sufficient funds in our account
to cover the check, but when the Federal
Reserve writes a check
there is no bank deposit on which that
check is drawn.
When the Federal Reserve writes a check,
it is creating money."
-- Putting it simply, Boston Federal
Reserve Bank
"It is well that the people of the
nation do not understand our banking and monetary system,
for if they did, I believe there would
be a revolution before tomorrow morning."
-- Henry Ford
"[Every circulating FRN] represents a
one dollar debt to the Federal Reserve system."
-- Money Facts, House Banking and Currency
Committee
"...the increase in the assets of the
Federal Reserve banks from 143 million dollars in 1913
to 45 billion dollars in 1949 went
directly to
the private stockholders of the [federal
reserve] banks."
-- Eustace Mullins
"Should government refrain from
regulation (taxation),
the worthlessness of the money becomes
apparent
and the fraud can no longer be
concealed."
-- John Maynard Keynes, "Consequences of
Peace."
"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 deposits,
and with the flick of the pen they will
create enough deposits to buy it back again.
However, take it away from them, and all
the great fortunes like mine
will 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 deposits".
-- SIR JOSIAH STAMP
(President of the Bank of England in the
1920's,
the second richest man in Britain)
"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.
Banks can in fact inflate, mint and
unmint the modern ledger-entry currency".
-- MAJOR L .L. B. ANGUS
"I believe that banking institutions are
more dangerous to our liberties
than standing armies. Already they have
raised up a monied 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
President of the United States of
America.

"If ye love wealth better than
liberty,
the tranquility of servitude
better than the animating contest of freedom,
go home from us in peace. We
ask not your counsel or your arms.
Crouch down and lick the hands
which feed you.
May your chains set lightly
upon you,
and may prosperity forget that
ye were our countrymen."
--- Samuel Adams
