"The real truth of the matter is that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government since the days of Andrew Jackson" -- Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1933
"The refusal of King 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
"I believe that banking insitutions are more dangerous than standing armies...if the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency...the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." -- Thomas Jefferson
"If you want to remain slaves of the bankers and pay for the costs of your own slavery, let them continue to create money and control the nation's credit" - Sir Josiah Stamp.
"The Morgan interests took advantage...to precipitate the panic [of 1907] guiding it shrewdly as it progressed" -- Frederik Allen, Life Magazine
One year after the 1913 Federal Reserve Act was passed (allegedly to prevent money panics like 1907), Woodrow Wilson wrote in regret:
"Our great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men...who necessarily, by reason of their own limitations, chill and check and destroy 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 government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men."
"A world banking system was being set up here...a superstate controlled by international bankers...acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure. The Fed has usurped the government." --Congressman Louis McFadden
The public was told that the Federal Reserve System was an economic stablilizer and that inflations and crises were a thing of the past. Well, we all know that the Great Depression proved that wrong.
"Under the Federal Reserve Act, panics are scientifically created. The present panic is the first scientifically created one, worked out as we work a mathematical figure." --Congressman Charles Lindbergh, during the 1921 Money Panic (what we today call recessions)
After the 1929 crash that caused the Great Depression, Congressman McFadden, began bringing Impeachment proceedings against the Federal Reserve Board, saying:
"It was a carefully contrived occurance. International bankers sought to bring about a condition of despair, so that they might emerge the rulers of us all."
After two previous assassination attempts, McFadden was poisoned at a banquet before he could push for the Impeachment.
I could go on and on and on about the problems with having the Federal Reserve (and lets not forget the fact that it's unconstitutional to have a privately owned central bank in control of the money supply, for the very reasons Franklin, Jefferson, and other founders stated). But, to bring things up to the point I want to make:
Absolutely nothing will change in this country as long as the FRS exists, because this country is going in the exact direction the private owners of the FRS want, and they have our government in their pockets.
"Give me the power to control a nation's currency, and I care not who makes its laws." -- Mayer Amschel Rothchilde
