The first misconception that most people have is that the Federal Reserve Bank is a branch of the US governmment. IT IS NOT. THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK IS A PRIVATE COMPANY. Most people believe it is as American as the Constitution. The Constitution actually forbids it's existence. Article 1, Section 8, states that Congress shall have the power to create money and regulate the value thereofff, not a bunch of international bankers! Today the FED controls and profits by printingg worthless paper, called money, through the Treasury, regulating its value, and the biggest outrage of all, collecting interest on it! (the so-called national debt, via the federal income tax)

The FED creates money from nothing, and loans it back to us through banks, and charges interest on our currency. The FED also buys Government debt with money printed on a printing press and charges US taxpayers interest. Many Congressmen and Presidents say this is fraud. Who actually owns the Federal Reserve Central Banks? The ownership of the 12 Central banks, a very well-kept secret, has been revealed: 1. Rothschild Bank of London 2. Warburg Bank of Hamburg 3..Rothschild Bank of Berlin 4. Lehman Brothers of NY 5. Lazard Brothers of Paris 6. Kuhn Loeb Bank of NY 7. Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy 8.. Goldman Sachs of NY 9. Warburg Bank of Amsterdam 10.Chase Manhattan Bank of NY

These bankers are connected to London Banking Houses which ultimately control the FED. When England lost the Revolutionary War with America where our forefathers were fighting thheir own government, they planned to control us by controlling our banking system, the printing of our money, and our debt. How did it happen? After previous attempts to push the Federal Reserve Act through Congress, a group of bankers funded and staffed Woodrow Wilson's campaign for President. He had comitted to sign this act. In 1913, a Senator, Nelson Aldrich, maternal grandfather to the Rockefellers, pushed the Act through Congress just before Xmas, when much of Congress was on vacation..........

......when elected, Wilson passed the FED. Later, Wilson remorsefully replied, referring to the FED,, "I have unwittingly ruined my country."

To close with Thomas Jefferson's Warning To America:
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around (the banks) will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." -written by Jefferson in a letter to the Secretary offf the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802)

If Jefferson could see the US today, he would see his worst nightmare comme to life, and then some. It's way past time we as a country dealt with this problem and gave it the full attention it deserves.

Who do you propose to do this? Politicians, for whom this is an integral part of their power sharing? Or do you suppose the banks will release their hold on America - if we ask them to.

Glaucon

Does it matter that Wilson didn't make that statement? I suppose not.

Clearly it will take nothing less than a national awakening followed by a mass movement the likes of which we've never seen before. Obviously media can be used for exposure, though corporate media will not go anywhere near it these days. Once enough people are talking about it on a regular basiis, it would have a snowball effect and be pushed into the national discourse. That would create pressure on public officials, the kind that will really seperate the wheat from the chaffe. No, we cannot ask favors of this kind of power, we must assume it, in as non-violent and intelligent a way as possible. In this case we have the sovereign right to do so. The t***h and the Constitution is on our side. Of course it sounds unlikely, it will take alot of hard work from alot of people. It can't NOT happen, for as soon as we are unable to meet the interest payments on our debt-based currency, another economic depression will be imposed upon the majority, more chaos,, more austerity, more finger-pointing and division, Unless we prepare as best we could using all the tools at our disposal.

Even if he didn't, no, I'm sorry, I don't see how it does.

Loki Loc: Georgia

When people ask me my opinion as to who was the worst president, and I say "Woodrow Wilson," they give me the strangest looks........

Elwood Loc: Florida

Glaucon

JMHO Loc: Utah

i think some research is called for.

Personally I'm a huge fan of Jefferson's intellect. There are so many in this country who wrongly think that ideas, concepts and society has some how radically changed since the founding of our country. People like Jefferson had tremendous insight into the pitfalls of man and we would be wise to continue to listen to him and others like him.

Now I'm a chemist and if I'm not mistaken your a psychologist so we really aren't educated enough to know if the Fed is truly sucking the life blood from us or has given us the financial strength that allowed us to be the greatest economic engine the world has ever seen.

Personally I think it is very unwise to let so few (your 1%) have so much power and control over all of us.

He may not have said those exact words but ...

Glaucon

It has been my experience that when people use different words, they mean different things. Also, I try not to merely pick out the quote that support my beliefs. I am sure you don't use Wilson as "evidence" when he is quoted as saying something with which you don't agree.

Glaucon

You are right, neither of us knows enough about the issue to have more than a partisan reflex to the matter. However, I don't think we need to be experts on issues in order to have opinion, feelings, biases and as long as we label them as such, no problem. When we label our opinions, feelings, and biases as facts, we join the legions of the dumb no matter how much education or experience we have.
