It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy.”~President Abraham Lincoln “When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain.” ~Napoleon Bonaparte “History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control of governments by controlling money and its issuance.~President James Madison “Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce.”President James A Garfield “A great Industrial nation is controlled by its 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 majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men. “I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country.”~President Woodrow Wilson “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.”~Henry Ford If we can't learn anything from history...atleast listen to your presidents? LOL, I have no illusion, we will defend the dollar to the end....even if it takes our own troops? Happy Presidents Day. ....as pyramids go, the egyptians got nothing on this debt scheme?<g>
