9th Circuit 1982
"We have, in this country, one of the most corrupt institutions
the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board. This
evil institution has impoverished the people of the United States and
has practically bankrupted our government. It has done this through
the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it." --
Congressman Louis T. McFadden in 1932 (Rep. Pa)

"Some [Most] people think the Federal Reserve Banks are the United

foreign swindlers." -- Congressional Record 12595-12603 -- Louis T.
McFadden, Chairman of the Committee on Banking and Currency (12 years)

-- Eustace Mullins
"As soon as Mr. Roosevelt took office, the Federal Reserve began
to buy government securities at the rate of ten million dollars a week
for 10 weeks, and created one hundred million dollars in new

Mullins

currency..." -- Mr. Crozier of Cincinnati, before Senate Banking and
Currency Committee - 1913
"A great industrial nation is controlled by it's system of credit.
Our system of credit is concentrated 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 world-- no longer a
government of free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and
vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of
small groups of dominant men." -- President Woodrow Wilson
"We are completely dependant on the commercial banks. Someone has
to borrow every dollar we have in circulation, cash or credit. If the
banks create ample synthetic money we are prosperous; if not, we
starve. We are absolutely without a permanent money system.... It is
the most important subject intelligent persons can investigate and
reflect upon. It is so important that our present civilization may
collapse unless it becomes widely understood and the defects remedied
very soon." -- Robert H. Hamphill, Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank

"The Federal Reserve system pays the U.S. Treasury 020.60 per
thousand notes -- a little over 2 cents each-- without regard to the
face value of the note. Federal Reserve Notes, incidentally, are the
only type of currency now produced for circulation. They are printed
exclusively by the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and
the $20.60 per thousand price reflects the Bureau's full cost of
production. Federal Reserve Notes are printed in 01, 02, 05, 10, 20,
50, and 100 dollar denominations only; notes of 500, 1000, 5000, and
10,000 denominations were last printed in 1945." -- Donald J. Winn,
Assistant to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve system
"Neither paper currency nor deposits have value as commodities,

merely book entries." -- Modern Money Mechanics Workbook, Federal
Reserve Bank of Chicago, 1975
"This [Federal Reserve Act] establishes the most gigantic trust on

"From now on, depressions will be scientifically created." --
Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh Sr. , 1913
"The financial system has been turned over to the Federal Reserve
Board. That Board administers the finance system by authority of a
purely profiteering group. The system is Private, conducted for the
sole purpose of obtaining the greatest possible profits from the use
of other people's money" -- Charles A. Lindbergh Sr., 1923
"The [Federal Reserve Act] as it stands seems to me to open the
way to a vast inflation of the currency... I do not like to think that
any law can be passed that will make it possible to submerge the gold
standard in a flood of irredeemable paper currency." -- Henry Cabot
Lodge Sr., 1913
[Note – From 1913 until now inflation of the dollar has been
2950%. A 1913 dollar would now be worth $.034. When I became a wage
earner in 1950 I could buy a full breakfast, eggs, sausage,
hashbrowns, shortstack, juice, and coffee for $.39. This morning I
paid $9.60 for the same, an inflation of 2460%]
"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
"There is a distinction between a 'debt discharged' and a debt
'paid'. When discharged, the debt still exists though divested of it's
charter as a legal obligation during the operation of the discharge,
something of the original vitality of the debt continues to exist,
which may be transfered, even though the transferee takes it subject
to it's disability incident to the discharge." -- Stanek vs. White,
172 Minn.390, 215 N.W. 784
"I have never seen more Senators express discontent with their
jobs....I think the major cause is that, deep down in our hearts, we
have been accomplices in doing something terrible and unforgivable to
our wonderful country. Deep down in our heart, we know that we have
given our children a legacy of bankruptcy. We have defrauded our
country to get ourselves elected." -- John Danforth (R-Mo)
"Capital must protect itself in every way...Debts must be
collected and loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When
through a process of law the common people have lost their homes, they
will be more tractable and more easily governed by the strong arm of
the law applied by the central power of leading financiers. People
without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known
among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of
capitalism to govern the world. By dividing the people we can get them
to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance
to us except as teachers of the common herd." -- Taken from the Civil
Servants' Year Book, "The Organizer" January 1934.
"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, U.S.
President.
"If Congress has the right [it doesn't] to issue paper money
[currency], it was given to them to be used by...[the government] and
not to be delegated to individuals or corporations." -- President
Andrew Jackson, Vetoed Bank Bill of 1836
"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 it's issuance." --
James Madison
"Should government refrain from regulation (taxation), the
worthlessness of the money becomes apparent and the FRAUD can no
longer be concealed." -- British Lord John Maynard Keynes (the father
of 'Keynesian Economics' which our nation now endures) in his book
"THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF THE PEACE" (1920).
"But if in the pursuit of the means we should unfortunately
stumble again on unfunded paper money or any similar species of fraud,
we shall assuredly give a fatal stab to our national credit in its
infancy. Paper money will invariably operate in the body of politics
as spirit liquors on the human body. They prey on the vitals and
ultimately destroy them. Paper money has had the effect in your state
that it will ever have, to ruin commerce, oppress the honest, and open
the door to every species of fraud and injustice." -- George
Washington in a letter to Jabez Bowen, Rhode Island, Jan. 9, 1787
The economic Crash of '29 and the Great Depression were caused by
the money vultures and foreign swindlers of the Federal Reserve
withholding currency from circulation and raising interest rates after
an inflationary easy money policy in the early 1920s. The Federal
Reserve's fear of excessive speculation led it into a far too
deflationary policy in the late 1920s, "destroying the village in
order to save it."
The U.S. economy was already past the peak of the business cycle
when the stock market crashed in October of 1929. The Federal Reserve
did "overdo it" -- raising interest rates too much, bringing on the
recession that they had hoped to avoid.
This contrived "emergency" by the money vultures and the political
manipulations of FDR, et. al. since then has created innumerous
abuses, usurpations, and abridgments of Constitutionally delegated
Powers and Authority as clearly stated in Senate Report 93-549 (1973):
"A majority of the people of the United States have lived all
of their lives under emergency rule. For 40 years, [-1824 years now in
109] freedoms and governmental procedures guaranteed by the
Constitution have in varying degrees been abridged by laws brought
into force by statutes of national emergency."
Peace,
Doc
