central bankers are evil!! i have about as much regard for bankers as i do for politicians.
"I sincerely believe the banking institutions, having the issuing power of money, are more dangerous than standing armies. They have set up a money aristocracy that has the government at defiance." --Thomas Jefferson
"... Article 12 of the United States Code 152, states that lawful money of the United States, shall be construed to mean gold or silver coin of the United States. We must deny the power of the general government of making paper money, or anything else, a legal tender." --Thomas Jefferson
"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
"If Congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper money, it was given them to be used by themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or to corporations" --Andrew Jackson
"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
"We have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks, hereinafter called the FED. They are not government institutions. They are private monopolies which prey upon the people of these Unites States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers..." --Louis McFadden, U.S. Congressman, 1932 |
