A great comment to the story:
We where warned throughout History by intellectuals, founding fathers, presidents, and statesmen.
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, 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. Thomas Jefferson in the debate over the Re-charter of the Bank Bill (1809)
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
The mischief springs from the power which the monied interest derives from a paper currency which they are able to control, from the multitude of corporations with exclusive privileges which they have succeeded in obtaining...and 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
.
― Andrew Jackson
I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and cause me to tremble for safety of my country; corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in High Places will follow, and the Money Power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the People, until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic destroyed.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Issue of currency should be lodged with the government and be protected from domination by Wall Street. We are opposed to
provisions [which] would place our currency and credit system in private hands. Theodore Roosevelt
I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its 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. 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
The real truth of the matter is,as you and I know, that a financial
element in the large centers has owned the government ever since
the days of Andrew Jackson
-Franklin D. Roosevelt
"Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws."
Mayer Amschel Rothschild
