The Federal Reserve - Don't Be Fooled by the Word "Federal"

The Federal Reserve is no more "Federal" than Federal Express -

the Federal Reserve is a private company of bankers with twelve branch banks that have been confiscating our money for almost a hundred years.

 

The Federal Reserve is NOT part of the United States Government, however, it is arguably considered a quasi-governmental agency.

 

Pay attention now, you're about to read about the biggest and most successful scam in History:

 

Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1743-1812).."Let me issue and control a nation's money, and I care not who writes its laws".

 

It was Alexander Hamilton who lobbied for the first private Federal Bank, and in 1789 Congress chartered the bank.

 

Thomas Jefferson was adamantly opposed to the idea of a privately owned federal bank and said " I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies".

 

In 1811, under President James Madison, Vice President George Clinton broke the tied vote in congress to cast the bankers out refusing to renew the charter for the bankers - unfortunatly it was President Madison who proposed a second United States privately owned Central bank and it came into existence in 1816.

 

However, in 1836, President Jackson, overriding Congress, closed it commenting, "The bold effort the present bank had made to control the government are but premonitions of the fate that await the American people should they be deluded into a perpetuation of this institution or the establishment of another like it." (we now have another one like it).

 

Andrew Jackson also said, when speaking to the bankers: "You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God I will rout you out."

 

The first two Federal Reserve Systems lasted about 20 years each and we are now almost a hundred years into the third one.

 

The year is now 1913, the year after Woodrow Wilson was elected president of the United States. Prior to his election he needed financial support to pay for his campaign, so he reluctantly agreed, that if elected, he would sign the Federal Reserve Act, in return for that financial support.

 

In December 1913 while many members of Congress were home for Christmas, the Federal Reserve Act was rammed through Congress and was later signed by President Wilson - at a later date, Wilson admitted with remorse, when referring to the Fed. "I have unwittingly ruined my country".

 

Now comes the INCOME TAX:

 

We didn't have nor did we need an income tax until we got the bankers back. The income tax was only needed to pay interest to the bankers for our money that they loan to our government.

 

Yes, you read that right, the Fed, mostly on paper and computer, creates money or pays the treasury a small printing fee for currency, and then loans this money to our government. Our taxes pay them interest on this loan that cost the FEDS virtually nothing to make, what a sweetheart of a deal they have going for them.

 

In March, 2006, the national debt stood at 8.2 trillion dollars. The American taxpayers paid the FED banking system $173,875,979,369.66 in interest on that debt in just five short months, from October, 2005, through February, 2006.

 

Since the economic meltdown of recent years, that figure has risen dramatically and will continue to rise. As of November, 2010, the national debt stands at over 13 TRILLION DOLLARS!

 

The United States will never, I repeat, NEVER be able to pay the interest on the loan, let alone the principle. So in actuality the Federal Reserve owns the United States and our elected officials are beholden to the bankers, not the American people.

 

The Feds are the unseen "shadow government" - they are the ones who are governing our once great Republic. They control both houses of Congress and also the President, and no-one dare oppose them.

 

They are all powerful because they control the money supply. No con artist or group of con artists in history has ever perpetrated a scam that even approaches the scope of this one.

 

According to the two volume work by Bill Benson and Red Beckman , "The Law That Never Was", the 16th amendment, which created the IRS, was never properly ratified, not even by one state! These gentlemen traveled the then 48 states to verify that fact. So in a very real sense the income tax isn't legal, as many have proclaimed, but try not paying it and see how far you get before the Feds come after you and confiscate everything you own.

 

SOUNDS A LOT LIKE THE MAFIA.

 

Henry Ford once said "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning".

 

In the nearly 100 years of the existence of the Fed, it has NEVER been audited and they don't pay income tax on the billions of dollars they take from us.

 

Congress likes the Fed because they can spend all they want with no restraints, they just put our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren into debt.

 

A Federal Reserve note is just what it looks like, it's just a piece of paper with no backing whatsoever. This is why Congress hates gold and silver backed money - it forces them to live within their means. Of course they also get other perks from the Fed - perks far too numerous to mention here.

 

Article 1, section 8, of the Constitution reads:

The Congress shall have the Power - to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof - nowhere in that document does it give Congress the authority to delegate this responsibility to anyone, much less a bunch of private bankers.

 

On June 4, 1963, President Kennedy signed a Presidential decree, Executive Order 11110 - this order virtually stripped the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Government at interest.

 

President Kennedy declared the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank would soon be out of business. This order gave the Treasury Department the authority to issue silver certificates against any silver in the treasury. In less than five months after signing that executive order, President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963.

The United States Notes (silver certificates) he had issued were taken out of circulation immediately - Federal Reserve Notes continued to serve as the legal currency of this nation.

 

It is estimated that 99% of all U.S. paper currency circulating in 1999 are Federal Reserve Notes.

 

Lincoln also took on the bankers and that brave bold step may also have cost him his life.

 

During the Civil War (from 1861-1865), President Lincoln needed money to finance the War for the North. The Bankers were going to charge him 24% to 36% interest. Lincoln was horrified and greatly distressed, and he would not think of plunging his beloved country into a debt that the country would find impossible to pay back.

 

So, Lincoln advised Congress to pass a law authorizing the printing of full legal tender Treasury notes to pay for the War effort. Lincoln recognized the great benefits of this issue. At one point he wrote: "... (we) gave the people of this Republic the greatest blessing they have ever had - their own paper money to pay their own debts..."

 

The Treasury notes were printed with green ink on the back, so the people called them "Greenbacks". Lincoln had printed 400 million dollars worth of Greenbacks (the exact amount being $449,338,902), money that he delegated to be created, a debt-free and interest-free money to finance the War. It served as legal tender for all debts, public and private. He printed it, paid it to the soldiers, to the U.S. Civil Service empoyees, and bought supplies for the war.

 

Lincoln was assassinated shortly after the war and Congress revoked the Greenback Law and enacted, in its place, the National Banking Act.

 

The national banks were to be privately owned and the national bank notes they issued were to be interest-bearing. The Act also provided that the Greenbacks should be retired from circulation as soon as they came back to the Treasury in payment of taxes.

 

FOLLOW THE MONEY:

 

When you follow the money you find there was no-one in the world who had a better reason to kill these two Presidents than the bankers.

 

It seems inconceivable that anyone could still think there was no conspiracy in the assassination of JFK, especially when you consider the many people that were murdered or had suspicious deaths and who were associated in some way with Kennedy's assassination.

 

Is any of this "Proof"? - No.

Is there strong circumstantial evidence?

YOU DECIDE.

 

Only WE can save this REPUBLIC. It is time to start TALKING to people, family, friends, neighbors, ANYONE who will listen and have a discussion.

 

Washington DC is a waste of time in my opinion - your voice will not be heard because of epic corruption.

 

We must take action from the local and state levels.

 

I don't have the answers for you, but I know that doing something, anything, is better than doing nothing.
