every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible
to maintain their control over governments
by controlling the money and its issuance."

... and very descriptive of what the US administration is doing today...
 -- Anonymous, Reston, VA US		 
The implications of this quote to our fiat based money system, which is, itself, unconstitutional, is profound. See Article 1, Section 8, Clause 5. Read "The Creature from Jekyl Island" for in depth clarification

Americans, please, PLEASE, learn how your private federal reserve bank is in COMPLETE control of the government. It is a HUGE scam, and if enough people will devote a little bit of time to learning about 'coin, credit, and circulation' you will see that the Fed was designed to buy US bonds when the American people would not -- and the Fed doesn't even buy them -- they simply exchange them for Federal Reserve Notes which cost them nothing but printing fees (if that). The government owes the Fed the interest they promised on their bonds -- which they do not have. So the IRS was created to collect taxes from the people who use the Federal Reserve Notes, and the taxes ONLY pay the interest the government must pay to the Fed. The original interest had to be paid in gold -- but after the bank basically acquired all the US gold supply (the entire volume of real money in circulation prior to implementing the Federal Reserve Act) we now can pay our interest with the same worthless paper. They did it! Now how are we going to get out of this trap? Boycott the banks.

Yes, yes and yes Joseph! Let us use gold,silver and copper coinage and barter, and boycott the banks.

The government of the United States of America has been bankrupt since 1934 and is in receivership to the Federal Reserve Bank, a private corporation, that is above the law, that has never been (and never will be) audited. It is the lynchpin of the overthrow of the government. We now elect our representatives based on how much money the politicians promise us -- even if they have to take everything we've got to do it. Wake up, people: Freedom means Responsibility -- that's why most men dread it. (Shaw)
 -- J.P., New York City		 
Hey! Some of you are starting to see the light! But, who controls the Federal Reserve? The Rothschilds of England who own better than 50 percent of the Fed's shares. Hence the USA is under the real governance of foreign bankers! As Mayer Rothschild, founder of the Rothschild banking dynasty, once remarked - he didn't care who formed the government as long as he controlled the money supply. And that is the way life has been for almost two centuries all sround the world in virtually every country which has a central bank.

WOW, love the comments
 -- Mike, Norwalk		 
Comments like these give me hope. I've maintained for years now that Freedom and Liberty rest with the "People" of America...not their Government. The Fed, Bank of Canada, Bank of England, Bank of Australia....all the same thing....Tyrants.

I only wish the Constitution had addressed this evil more emphatically so that a central bank could NEVER have been permitted. Unfortunately, Hamilton knew that aristocratic business well, and as the first Secretary of the US Treasury he charted the first US central bank, the First Bank of the United States, against much opposition from Madison, Jefferson, and others. Jefferson killed it, though, as president and warned Americans never to attempt another. Of course without a Constitutional prohibition on central banking, the bankers never stopped attempting to institute another private central bank -- several more were established in US history with the Federal Reserve being the most recent. If the charter for the Fed is not revoked, they will acquire all the power of the nation (they are damn close already). This battle has been going on for thousands of years -- and whoever manages to get the power to simply print up 'money' and spend it becomes absolute master -- is this really that hard to understand?

Great comments. Check a book, "The Way The World Really Works" , by Alan B Jones.
 -- jim kilpatrick, austin, tx
