Introduction
1
THE MONEY MASTERS is a 3 1/2 hour non-fiction, historical documentary that traces the origins of the
political power structure. The modern political power structure has its roots in the hidden manipulation and
accumulation of gold and other forms of money. The development of fractional reserve banking practices
in the 17th century brought to a cunning sophistication the secret techniques initially used by goldsmiths
fraudulently to accumulate wealth. With the formation of the privately-owned Bank of England in 1694,
the yoke of economic slavery to a privately-owned "central" bank was first forced upon the backs of an
entire nation, not removed but only made heavier with the passing of the three centuries to our day.
Nation after nation has fallen prey to this cabal of international central bankers.
The success of the central banking scheme developed into a far-reaching plan described by President
Clinton's mentor, Georgetown Professor Carroll Quigley, ”to create a world system of financial control in
private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a
whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting
in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the
system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and
controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central
bank....sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign
exchanges, to influence the levels of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative
politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."
Several short-lived attempts to impose the central banking scheme on the United States were defeated by
the patriotic efforts of Presidents Madison, Jefferson, Jackson, Van Buren and Lincoln. But with the
passage of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, America was firmly lashed to the same yoke, so that a small
number of very rich men have been able to lay upon the masses a yoke little better than slavery itself.
That yoke inevitably grows heavier with ever-compounding interest, and totals over $20 trillion of debt
owed by the American people today ($80,000 per American) ultimately to these bankers.
This vast accumulation of wealth concentrates immense power and despotic economic domination in the
hands of the few central bankers "who are able to govern credit and its allotment, for this reason
supplying, so to speak, the life-blood to the entire economic body, and grasping, as it were, in their hands
the very soul of the economy so that no one dare breathe against their will."

Think of money as just another commodity. If you have a monopoly on a commodity that everyone needs,
everyone wants, and nobody has enough of, there are lots of ways to make a profit and also exert
tremendous political influence.
A few years ago, three-quarters of the majority stockholders of ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN were banks,
such as Chase Manhattan Corp., Citibank, Morgan Guaranty Trust and Bank of America; ten such
corporations controlled 59 magazines (including Time and Newsweek), 58 newspapers (including the New
York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal), and various motion picture companies, giving
the major Wall Street banks virtually total ownership of the mass media, with few exceptions (such as the
Disney Company's purchase of ABC).
Press control, and later electronic media control (radio and TV), was seized in carefully planned steps,
yielding the present situation in which all major mass media and the critically important major reporting
services, which are the source of most news and upon which most news is based, are controlled by the
Money Changers.
Brief History
When Jews came to Jerusalem to pay their Temple tax, they could only pay it with a special coin, the half
shekel
Two early Roman emperors had tried to diminish the power of the Money Changers by reforming usury
laws and limiting land ownership to 500 acres. They both were assassinated. In 48 B.C., Julius Caesar took
back the power to coin money from the Money Changers and minted coins for the benefit of all. With this
new, plentiful supply of money, he built great public works projects. By making money plentiful, Caesar
won the love common man. But the Money Changers hated him. Some believe this was an important factor
in Caesar's assassination.
THE GOLDSMITHS OF MEDIEVAL ENGLAND.
The Chinese were the first to use paper money, known as "Flying Money," (a kind of banker's draft) in 618-
907 A.D. About 1000 A.D. private Chinese merchants in Sichuan province issued paper money known as
Jiao Zi. Due to fraud, the right to issue paper money was taken over by the Song dynasty in 1024, which
then issued the first government paper money.
About that same time, Money Changers - those who exchange, create and manipulate the quantity of
money - were active in medieval England. In fact, they were so active that acting together, they could
manipulate the English economy. These were not bankers, per se. The Money Changers generally were he
goldsmiths.
They were the first bankers because they started keeping other people's gold for safekeeping in their safe
rooms, or vaults.
The first paper money in Western Europe was merely receipts for gold left at the goldsmiths, made from
rag paper as the ditty goes:
"Rags make paper; paper makes money; money makes banks; banks make loans; loans make
beggars; beggars make rags."
Paper Money
Paper money caught on because it was more convenient and safer to carry than a lot of heavy gold and
silver coins. As a convenience, to avoid an unnecessary trip to the goldsmiths, depositors began endorsing
these gold deposit receipts to others, by their signature.

Over time, to simplify the process the receipts were made out "to the bearer", rather than to the
individual depositor, making them readily transferable without the need for a signature. This,
however, broke the tie to any identifiable deposit of gold.
Eventually goldsmiths noticed that only a small fraction of the depositors or bearers ever came in
and demanded their gold at any one time. Goldsmiths started cheating on the system.
They began by secretly lending out some of the gold that had been entrusted to them for
safekeeping, and keeping the interest earned on this lending.
Then the goldsmiths discovered that they could print more money (i.e. paper gold deposit
certificates) than they had gold and usually no one would be the wiser. Then, they could loan out
this extra paper money and collect interest on it. This was the birth of fractional reserve lending -
that is, loaning out more money than you have reserves on deposit. Obviously, it was fraud, often
specifically outlawed, once understood.
Fractional Reserve Banking
The goldsmiths began with relatively modest cheating, loaning out only two or three times in gold
deposit certificates the amount of gold they actually had in their safe rooms. But they soon grew
more confident, and greedier, loaning out four, five, even ten times more gold certificates than
they had gold on deposit.
So, for example, if $1,000 in gold were deposited with them, they could loan out about $10,000 in
paper money and charge interest on it, and no one would discover the deception. By this means,
goldsmiths gradually accumulated more and more wealth and used this wealth to accumulate more
and more gold.
It was this abuse of trust, a fraud, which, after being accepted as standard practice, evolved into
modern deposit banking. It is still a fraud and an unjust and unreasonable delegation of a sovereign
government function - money creation - to private banks.
Today, this practice of loaning out more money than there are reserves is known as fractional
reserve banking. In other words, banks have only a small fraction of the reserves on hand needed
to honor their obligations. Should all their account holders come in and demand cash, the banks
would run out before even three percent have been paid. That is why banks always live in dread
fear of "bank runs". To banks, fractional reserve loans,
"... are a bright joy as brittle as glass accompanied by the haunting fear of a sudden
break."

to the money of other countries not in this same stage of money expansion. Money begins to flow
out of US Treasury bonds (due to lower interest rates and the lessening purchasing power of the
dollar due to inflation). Thus ends the expansionary or "boom" part of this artificial "business
cycle." To combat rising inflation and the falling dollar, the Fed begins raising interest rates.
Then the spring of the economy - the money supply - having been stretched to the maximum,
begins its contraction, usually initiated by rising interest rates reaching a point that begins to
inhibit borrowing and also inflation. The economic "bust" part of the cycle begins. Loans dwindle
as interest rates rise and credit terms tighten. Various segments of the economy, accustomed to
easy credit, begin to contract due to higher interest rates; loans become harder to get. Home prices
fall, businesses begin to fail, bankruptcies increase. This "bust" part of the cycle continues, and
worsens, until inflation is "tamed," prices stabilize, and the dollar rises relative to other currencies.
Eventually, the higher interest rates begin to attract foreign money, and the Treasury then is able to
borrow what it needs at lower and lower interest rates. Interest rates fall. The artificial cycle then
begins anew.
This boom-bust economic cycle is totally unnecessary and is the fundamental cause of the inherent
instability in our economy. It is due to too-rapid increases in the money supply due to deficit
spending and then the multiplier effect of fractional reserve banking (described above) and to
lenders greedy to take advantage of such a system that rewards lending with more and more
interest revenue; followed by a too-rapid contraction of the money supply (such as we are
experiencing now), necessary to combat the inflationary effects of the former phase, both the
direct result of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. We urgently need to reform this system that
rewards greed and results in ever-increasing swings from boom-to-bust - destroying ordinary
businesses and farms in the process. We need to repeal or fundamentally reform the Federal
Reserve Act of 1913, and to replace it with a system that eliminates the ability of private banks to
"create" and multiply money as loans.
The major banks of this country - the ones the government is lending your money to, and from
which the Bailout Bill proposes to buy their bad assets (wouldn't you too like the opportunity to
sell off your bad investments to the government!), are busily swallowing up the banks in trouble in
this latest bust - one deeper because of more rapid prior monetary expansion and inflation. As after
all prior bust cycles, they will emerge larger and more powerful, and fewer. Wealth will be even
more concentrated under their control, which they will use in the next bust to further this process,
until eventually no one will own anything but the ability to borrow - to go deeper into debt to
banks than their neighbors. Not savings, but credit scores will determine the average American's
ability to engage in economic activity (such as buying a home or car). No one will dare breathe a
word against such power, concentrated in very few hands, and our republic will end with a
whimper.
Our Congress struggles with ignorance of the complex, bank-created system enacted in 1913. It
struggles with the money the bank PACs flood into the political system to defeat their critics and
elect their shills. It struggles with mass media owned or controlled by the banks, which seek to stir
up panic in the populace, to stampede Congress into bank-developed "solutions" that only make
the fundamental problems worse and increase their wealth. Based on history, the banks will not
fail to see-saw the economy and the markets to match their strategies for fooling the public, and
putting pressure on the Congress to do their will. But we must resist. We must hold out for
genuine reform - for repeal or fundamental reform of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.
Here is a hyperlink to one such reform proposal, the Monetary Reform Act. It is not the only
possible reform, but it is one developed, in its essentials, over many years by numerous monetary
reformers including the late Nobel Laureate, Dr. Milton Friedman. Any genuine reform of our
monetary system must include two basic elements: fractional reserve lending (such as described
above) must be prohibited, and private banks must be forbidden from creating money, whether as
loans or otherwise. The Monetary Reform Act does both. It also incorporates means of doing this
that include paying off the huge national debt, and stabilizing the economy.

the fundamental cause of the inherent instability in banking, stock markets and national
economies.
The banks in the United States are allowed to loan out at least ten times more money they actually
have. That's why they do so on charging let's say 8% interest. It's not really 8% per year which is
their interest income on money the government issues. It's 80%. That's why bank buildings are
always the largest in town. Every bank is, de facto, a private mint (over 10,000 in the U.S.),
issuing money as loans, for nothing, at no cost to them, except whatever interest they pay
depositors.
Rather than issue more gold certificates than they have gold, modern bankers simply make more
loans than they have currency (cash). They do this by making book entries creating loans to
borrowers out of thin air (or rather, ink).
To give a modern example: A $10,000 bond purchase by the Fed on the open market results in a
$10,000 deposit to the bond seller's bank account. Under a 10% (i.e. fractional) reserve
requirement, the bank need keep only $1,000 in reserve, and may lend out $9,000. This $9,000 is
ordinarily deposited by the borrower in either the same bank or in other banks, which then must
keep 10% ($900) reserve, and may lend out the other $8,100. This $8,100 is in turn deposited in
banks, which must keep 10% ($810) in reserve, and then may lend out $7,290, and so on.
Carried to the theoretical limits, the initial $10,000 created by the Fed, is deposited in numerous
banks in the banking system, which gives rise (in roughly 20 repeated stages) to expansion of
$90,000 in new loans, in addition to the $10,000 in reserves.
MORAL ISSUES
But does all of this mean that all interest or all banking should be illegal? No. In the Middle Ages, Canon
law, the law of the Catholic Church, forbade charging interest on loans. This concept followed the
teachings of Aristotle as well as of Saint Thomas Aquinas.

They taught that the purpose of money was to serve the members of society as a medium of exchange to
facilitate the exchange of goods needed to lead a virtuous life. Interest, in their belief, hindered this purpose
by putting an unnecessary and inequitable burden on the use of money. In other words, interest was
contrary to reason and justice.
Reflecting Church Law in the Middle Ages, all European nations forbade charging interest, except on
productive loans (i.e. on loans generating a profit to be shared with the lenders as their "interest", as a
partner, or "silent investor at risk", as we would say today), and made it a crime called usury.
As commerce grew and therefore opportunities for investment arose in the late Middle Ages, it came to be
that to loan money had a cost to the lender in lost gain given up, and in risks. So such "extrinsic" charges
were allowed, as was profit-sharing on productive investments, but not interest per se as pure (or
"intrinsic") gain from a loan.
But all moralists, no matter what religion or what their position on usury, condemn fraud, oppression of the
poor and injustice as dearly immoral. As we will see, fractional reserve lending is rooted in a fraud, results
in widespread poverty, oppression of the poor, and reduces the value of everyone else's money. Ignorance
of this technique has largely silenced moral condemnation of it.
Unfortunately, a few schools of some religions, limit their condemnation of fraud, oppression and injustice
to that conducted against their own people, only. This deplorable limitation, which arises out of an
exclusiveness in justice and charity, is one of the causes of this banking problem. Other peoples inevitably
come to be regarded as inferior or even subhuman.
This inevitably results in a weltanschauung or world view, according to which "peace" means the
predominance of the "superior" peoples and the "superior" race - a gross form of crude materialism which
is merely a concealed nationalism, even though it condemns the defensive nationalism it arouses in others.
But the principal determinants of nationalism, in its last analysis, are merely psychological and variable,
not any inherent "superiority".
Men forget that the human species is one great human race with a common origin, a common end, and
equality of rational nature, in which there are no special "higher races", as linguistics, genetics,
anthropology and other sciences increasingly affirm.
Even if there were superior races, surely they should be measured by excellence in virtue, not in cunning
and deceit. But as it is, the differences in peoples should serve to enrich and embellish the human race by
the sharing of their own peculiar gifts and by the reciprocal interchange of goods.
To return to the goldsmiths: they also discovered that extra profits could be made by "rowing" the economy
between easy money and tight money. When they made money easier to borrow, then the amount of money
in circulation expanded. Money was plentiful. People took out more loans to expand their businesses. But
then the goldsmiths would tighten the money supply. They would mal loans more difficult to get.
What would happen? Just what happens today. A certain percentage of people could not repay their
previous loans, and could not take out new loans to repay the old on. Therefore they went bankrupt, and
had to sell their assets to the goldsmiths or at auction for pennies on the dollar.
The same thing is still going on today, or today we call this rowing of the economy, up and down, the
"Business Cycle," or more recently in the stock markets, "corrections".
Talli Sticks
At that time, long before the invention of the printing press, taxes were generally paid in kind - i.e.
in goods, based on the productive capacity of the land under the care of the tax-paying serf or
lesser noble. To record production, medieval European scribes used a crude accounting device -
notches on sticks or "tallies" (from the Latin talea meaning "twig" "stake"). Tally sticks worked
better than faulty memory or notches on barn doors, as were sometimes used.
To prevent alteration or counterfeiting, the sticks were cut in half lengthwise, leaving one half of
the notches on each piece, one of which was given to the taxpayer, which could compared for
accuracy by reuniting the pieces. Henry adopted this method of tax record keeping in England.

tallies were issued by the government in advance of taxes being paid in order to raise finds in
emergencies or financial straits. The recipients would accept such tallies for goods sold at a profit
or for coin, at a discount, and then would use them later, at Easter or Michaelmas, for the payment
of the taxes. Thus, tallies took on some of the same functions as coin - they served as money for
the payment of taxes.
After 1694 the government issued paper 'tallies" as paper evidence of debt (i.e. government
borrowing) in anticipation of the collection of future taxes. Paper could be made easily negotiable,
which made them the full equivalent of the paper bank note money issued by the Bank of England
beginning in 1694. By 1697 tallies, bank notes and bank bills all began to circulate freely as
interchangeable forms of money. Wooden stick tallies continued to be used until 1826. Doubtless,
ways were found to make them circulate at discounts too, like the paper tallies.
Why would people accept sticks of wood for money? That's a great question. Throughout history,
people have traded anything they thought had value and used that for money. You see, the secret is
that money is only what people agree on to use as money. What's our paper money today? It's
really just paper.
Although control over money was not the only cause of the English Revolution in 1642
{p. 14} - religious differences fueled the conflict - monetary policy played a major role. Financed
by the Money Changers, Oliver Cromwell finally overthrew King Charles, purged Parliament, and
put the King to death.
The Money Changers were immediately allowed to consolidate their financial power. The result
was that for the next fifty years the Money Changers plunged Great Britain into a series of costly
wars. They took over a square mile of property in the center of London, known as The City. This
semi-sovereign area today is still one of the two predominant financial centers of the world (with
Wall Street). It is not under the jurisdiction of the London police, but has its own private force of
2,000 men.
Conflicts with the Stuart kings led the Money Changers in England to combine with those in the
Netherlands, which already had a central bank established by the Money Changers in Amsterdam
in 1609, to finance the invasion of William of Orange, who overthrew the legitimate Stuarts in
1688. England was to trade masters: an unpopular King James II, for a hidden cabal of Money
Changers pulling the strings of their usurper, King William III ("King Billy"), from behind the
scenes.
This symbiotic relationship between the Money Changers and the higher British aristocracy
continues to this day. The Monarch has no real power, but serves as a useful shield for the Money
Changers who rule The City, dominated by the banking House of Rothschild:
"in theory still a real monarch, although in reality only a convenient puppet, to be used by the
cabinet (The City) at pleasure to suit their awn ends; not able even to exercise the power of pardon
that is a prerogative of a governor of an American state and of the President of the United States."
Bank of England
By the end of the 1600s, England was in financial ruin. Fifty years of more or less continuous wars
with France and sometimes the Netherlands had exhausted her.
a government-sanctioned, privately-owned central which could issue money created out nothing,
as loans. It was to be the modern world's first privately-owned, national central bank in a powerful
country, the Bank of England, though earlier deposit banks had existed in
With the formation of the Bank of England, the nation was soon awash in money. Prices
throughout the country doubled. Massive loans were granted for just about any wild scheme. One
venture proposed draining the Red Sea to recover gold supposedly lost when the Egyptian army
drowned pursuing Moses and the Israelites.

By 1698, just four years later, government debt had grown from the initial 1-1/4 million pounds to
16 million. Naturally, taxes were increased and then increased again to pay for all this.
Rothschild
This is Frankfort, Germany. Fifty years after the Bank of England opened its doors, a goldsmith
named Amschel Moses Bauer opened a coin shop - a counting house - in 1743, and over the door
he placed sign depicting a Roman eagle on a red shield. The shop became known as the Red
Shield firm, or in German Rothschild.
When his son, Meyer Amschel Bauer, inherited the business, he decided to change name to
Rothschild.
Meyer Rothschild soon learned that loan money to governments and kings was more profitable
than loaning to private individuals. Not only were the loans bigger, but they were secured by the
nation's taxes.
Meyer Rothschild had five sons. He trained them all in the secret techniques of money creation
and manipulation, then sent them to the major capitals of Europe to open branch offices of the
family banking business. Iis directed that one son in each generation was to rule the family
business; women were excluded.
His first son, Amschel, stayed in Frankfort to mind the hometown bank. His second son, Salomon
was sent to Vienna. His third sob, Nathan was clearly the most clever. He was
{p. 17} sent to London at age 21 in 1798, a hundred years after the founding of the Bank of
England. His fourth son, Karl, went to Naples. His fifth son, Jakob (James), went to Paris.
"There is evidence that when the five brothers spread out to the five provinces of the financial
empire of Europe, they had some secret help for the accumulation of these enormous sums ... that
they were the treasurers of this first Comintern .. But others say, and I think with better reason,
that the Rothschilds were not the treasurers, but the chiefs .. " - C.G. Rakovsky
In 1785, Meyer moved his entire family to a larger house, a five story dwelling he shared with the
Schiff family. This house was known the "Green Shield" house. The Rothschilds and the Schiffs
would play a central role in the rest of European financial history, and in that the United States and
the world. The Schiffs' grandson moved to New York and helped fund the Bolshevik coup d 'etat
in 1917 in Russia.
The Rothschilds broke into dealings with European royalty in Wilhelmshohe, the palace ofthe
wealthiest man in Germany - in fact, tbe wealthiest monarch in all of Europe - Prince William of
Hesse-Cassel.
At first, the Rothschilds were only helping William speculate in precious coins. But when
Napoleon chased Prince William into exile, William sent £550,000 (a gigantic sum at that time,
equivalent to many millions of current U.S. dollars) to Nathan Rothschild in London with
instructions from him to buy Consola - British government bonds also called government stock.
But Rothschild used the money for his own purposes. With Napoleon on the loose, the
opportunities for highly profitable wartime investments were nearly limitless.
William returned to Wllhelmshohe, sometime prior to the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. He
summoned the Rothschilds and demanded his money back.
The Rothschilds returned William's money, with the 8% interest the British Consols would have
paid him had the investment actually been made. But the Rothschilds kept all the vast wartime
profits they had made using Wilhelm' s money-shady practice in any century.
Partly by such practices, Nathan Rothschild was able to later brag that in the seventeen years he
had been in England, he had increased his original £20,000 stake given to him by his father by

2,500 times (=£50,000,000), a truly vast sum at that time, comparable to billions of current U.S.
dollars in purchasing power.
As early as 1817, the director ofthe Prussian Treasury, on a visit to London, wrote that Nathan
Rothschild had:
"... incredible influence upon all financial ffairs here in London. It is widely stated ... that he
entirely regulates the rate of exchange in the City. His pwer as a banker is enormous. "
Austrian Prince Metternich's secretary wrote of the Rothschilds as early as 1818 that:
"...they are the richest people in Europe".
By cooperating within the family, using fractional reserve banking techniques, the Rothschilds'
banks soon grew unbelievably wealthy. By the mid-1800s, they dominated all European banking,
and were certainly the
{p. 18} wealthiest family in the world. A large part of the profligate nobility of Europe became
deeply indebted to them.
In virtue of their presence in five nations as bankers, they were effectively autonomous - an entity
independent from the nations in which they operated. If one nation's policies were displeasing to
them or their interests, they could simply do no further lending there, or lend to those nations or
groups opposed to such policies. Only they knew where their gold and other reserves were located,
thus shielding them from government seizure, penalty, pressure or taxation, as well as effectively
making any national investiation or audit meaningless. Only they knew the extent (or paucity) of
their fractional reserves, scattered in five nations - a tremendous advantage over purely national
banks engaging in fractional reserve banking too.
Rothschild International
It was precisely their international character that gave them unique advantages over national banks
and governments, and that was precisely what rulers and national parliaments should have
prohibited, but did not. This remains true of international or multi-national banks to this very day,
and is the driving force of globalization - the push for one-world government.
The Rothschilds provided huge loans to establish monopolies in various industries, thereby
guaranteeing the borrowers' ability to repay the loans by raising prices without fear of price
competition, while increasing the Rothschild's economic and political power.
They financed Cecil Rhodes, ranking it possible for him to establish a monopoly over the gold
fields of South Africa and the De beers over diamonds. In America, they financed the
monopolization of railroads.
The National City Bank of Cleveland, which was identified in Congressional hearings as one of
three Rothschild banks in the United States, provided John D. Rockefeller with the money to begin
his monopolization of the oil refinery business, resulting in Standard Oil.
Jacob Schiff, who had been born in the Rothschild "Green Shield" house in Frankfort and who was
then the principal Rothschild agent in the U.S., advised Rockefeller and developed the infamous
rebate deal Rockefeller secretly demanded from railroads shipping competitors' oil.
These same railroads were already monopolized by Rothschild control through agents and allies
J.P. Morgan and Kuhn, Loeb & Company (Schiff was on the Board) which together controlled
95% of all U.S. railroad mileage.
By 1850, James Rothschild, the heir of the French branch of the family, was said to be worth 600
million French francs - 150 million more than all the other bankers in France put together.
James had been established in Paris in 1812 wih a capital of $200,000 by Mayer Amschel. At the
time of his death in 1868, 56 years later, his annual income was $40,000,000. No forune in

America at that time equaled even one year's income of James. Referring to James Rothschild, the
poet Heinrich Heine said:
"Money is the god of our times, and Rothschild is his prophet."
{p. 19} James built his fabulous mansion, called Femeres, 19 miles northeast of Paris. Wilhelm I,
on first seeing it exclainned, "Kings couldn't afford this. It could only belong to a Rothschild."
Another 19 century French commentator put it this way;
"There is but one power in Europe and that is Rothschild."
There is no evidence that their predominant standing in European or world finance has changed, to
the contrary, as their wealth has increased they have simply increased their "passion for
anonymity". Their vast holdings rarely bear their name.
Author Frederic Morton wrote of them that they had "conquered the world more thoroughly, more
cunningly, and much more lastingly than all the Caesars before..."
Now let's take a look at the results the Bank of England produced on the British economy, and
how that later was the root cause of the American Revolution.

taxes. Since the bank’s operations were kept hidden from general public and also
little people knew about this system, therefore the bank carried on its functionality.
When the Bank required investment of $400,000 for capital, the input was less,
therefore Morris using his influence to obtain gold deposit loaned to America by
France. Later he loaned this money to himself and his friends to reinvest in bank
shares.
The Downfall (1785 Era):
During this scenario, the second American Bank War was on. The American
currency continued to decline, therefore after four years, in 1785, the Bank's
charter was not renewed, which effectively ended the threat of the Bank's power.
And thus the second American Bank War quickly ended in defeat for the Money
Changers.
But the men behind the Bank of North America did not give up and 6 years later
they created a new privately-owned bank named “The First Bank of United States”.

quickly rose to oppose him and they not only financed every nation in napoleon’s
path but also gained enormous profits of war. In this way many countries became
indebted to the Bank of England.
Nathan Rothschild (1808 Era):
In 1808, as Napoleon’s main armies were in Russia, Nathan Rothschild (the head of
London office of Rothschild Family) personally made a plan to smuggle a shipment
of gold through France to finance an attack by the Duke of Wellington from Spain
and after achieving this, profited from it very much.
Finally Wellington's attacks and other defeats, forced Napoleon to give up and he
exiled to a tiny island of Elba, temporarily. While on the other side, America was
trying to break free of its central bank as well.

Napoleon’s Return (1815 Era):
In 1815, a year after the end of the War of 1812 in America, Napoleon escaping his
exile returned to Paris. French troops which were sent out to capture him were
overtaken by his charisma and they rallied around their old leader and hailed him as
their Emperor once again. Napoleon returned to Paris a hero. King Louis fled into
exile and Napoleon again ascended to the French throne - this time without a shot
being fired.

In March of 1815 Napoleon made an army to confront Britain's Duke of Wellington

napoleon army was defeated and Napoleon suffered his final defeat on the account
of thousands of French and English men lives in June of 1815.
Now since in that era it was common that a single bank can finance both sides at
war and in accordance that victor will honor the losers debt, thus in this way only
the Bankers cannot lose and gain enormous profits from debts.
Nathan Rothschild Scheme:
Following the Waterloo scenario, Nathan Rothschild looking at the opportunity to
seize control over the British stock and bond market. For that Nathan placed an
agent, named Rothworth, on the north side of the battlefield - closer to the English
Channel.
Once the battle had been decided, Rothworth took off for the Channel. He delivered
the news to Nathan Rothschild a full 24 hours before Wellington's own courier.
Nathan hurried to the Stock Market and took up his usual position in front of an
ancient pillar.
Due to Nathan’s legendary communication network, every person was looking at
him. As if Wellington had been defeated and Napoleon was loose on the Continent
again, Britain's financial situation would become grave indeed. Nathan made
himself looked saddened and gloomy. Then suddenly, he began selling. His action
was perceived as if the Napoleon has won therefore other investors started selling
too, resulting in the market plummet and prices dropped. Thus in this time Nathan
Rothschild and his financial allies started secretly buying through agents.
Rothschild’s Financial Value:
Rothschild intermarriages with the other banking families like Montifiores, Cohens
and Goldsmiths, enhanced the Rothschild’s' financial control. On the same pace by
the mid 1800’s the Rothschild were the richest family in the world with dominance
over the new government bond markets and branched into other banks and
industrial concerns worldwide. In fact, the rest of the 19th century was known as
the "Age of Rothschild."
Although having so much wealth and many businesses, the Rothschild family had
kept a veil over its family from the general public. But also the Rothschild have
carefully kept on their businesses to acquire more wealth and power in control of
banks, debt-captive corporations, the media, politicians and nations, all through
surrogates, agents, nominees and interlocking directorates, obscuring their role.

charter. By this the Bank contracted the money supply by calling in old loans and
refusing to extend new ones.
This cause an economical crisis with unemployment and the blame intentionally was
put upon Andrew Jackson’s fund withdrawal actions. Following this scenario a
meeting was called by the name “Panic Session” to discuss the current scenario.
Banker’s tried to over thrown the president through Congress and to prolong the
charter of the bank. But at the right moment support of the Governor of
Pennsylvania, shifted the tides for well devised plan of Banker’s
Glory Days (1834 – 1835 Eras):
In April 1834, the House of Representatives casted votes which resulted in the clear
indication of not re-chartering the Bank. Also a special committee was forged to
investigate the Bank, but whose internal examination was refused by the Banks
officials and also made mockery of the judicial system by not paying serious
attention to the committee’s testifying.
Finally in January 1835, Jackson paid off the final installment on the national debt
and was President ever to pay off the national debt.
Assassination Attempts (1835 Era):
On January 30, 1835, an assassin “Richard Lawrence” tried to shoot and
assassinate President Jackson. But due to luck his both pistols misfired. After some
times from the initial arrest Lawrence was released on the reason of insanity.
Bank’s Death:
After the Bank’s charter time ran out, the Second Bank of the United States ceased
functioning as the nation's central bank. Biddle was later arrested and charged with
fraud. He was judged but he died shortly and the finally the 4rth American Bank war
ended, thus the 4rth defeat for Money Changers
Even though Andrew Jackson retired but he had managed to shut the Bank’s
operation so effectively that it took the banker’s a whole century to reach again to
their point of scheme as left before.
In regard of Banks, Jackson also warned future generations of America;
"The bold effort the present bank had made to control the government...
the distress it had wantonly produced ... are but premonitions of the fate
that awaits the American people should they be deluded into a
perpetuation of this institution or the establishment of another like it."

extinction of slavery by stopping its further expansion into any U.S. territory, and by
offering compensated emancipation (an offer accepted only by Washington, D.C).
Lincoln stood by the Republican Party platform in 1860, which stated that slavery
should not be allowed to expand into any more territories. Most Americans agreed
that if all future states admitted to the Union were to be free states, that slavery
would eventually be abolished.
During the American Civil War, Lincoln used the war powers of the presidency to
issue the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared "all persons held as slaves
within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in
rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free"
but exempted border states and those areas of slave states already under Union
control. As a practical matter, at first the Proclamation could only be enforced to
free those slaves that had already escaped to the Union side. However, millions
more were freed as more areas of the South came under Union control.
With the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the size of the United States had roughly
doubled, opening up new lands which could become states. After the War of 1812,
concern was increasing to balance the number of slave states and free states.
Because of larger population growth in the North, the free states came to hold the
majority of seats in the House of Representatives. To keep a balance in the Senate,
there was a strong movement to admit new states in pairs, one slave state for every
free state. The Compromise of 1820 admittted Maine as a free state and Missouri as
a slave state, and also banned slavery above the 36° 30' parallel except in the new
state of Missouri. With the application by Texas to become a state of the Union, and
the ceding of lands to the U.S. after the Mexican American War, new territories were
added in which, by the Missouri Compromise, slavery could be legal. Efforts were
also made to acquire Cuba and to annex Nicaragua, both to be slave states.

modern civilization. They will not hesitate to plunge the whole of Christendom into
wars and chaos in order that the earth should become their inheritance.”5
“The division of the United States into federations of equal force was decided long
before the civil war by the high financial power of Europe. These bankers were
afraid that the United States, if they remained as one block, and as one nation,
would attain economic and financial independence, which would upset their
financial domination over the world.”
Bismarck explained that the Rothschilds who controlled Europe were afraid the
United States would become independent of them if it remained one nation: "They
foresaw tremendous booty if they could substitute two feeble democracies indebted
to the Jewish financiers to the vigorous republic confident and self providing.
Therefore they started their emissaries in order to exploit the question of slavery
and thus to dig an abyss between the two parts of the republic."6
When financing the Civil War became difficult, Lincoln had the choice of following
the advice of his official advisors (dominated by banking interests), and borrowing
from the financial houses at high interest rates, or printing interest-free government
money. He chose the latter course, apparently at Taylor's suggestion. If he had
even the slightest notion of making the greenback issue permanent monetary policy
for the nation, as some records seem to indicate, powerful interests (the same ones
that would be responsible for the assassination conspiracy cover-up), had cause for
wishing him out of the way. It certainly constitutes ample motive, when one reflects
on how seriously money is taken. Printing interest-free money, rather than
borrowing it at interest from banks, was taboo, even in Lincoln's day. Lincoln,
however, did it anyway much to his credit and at great savings to the nation. After
the war had been won, having saved the Union and freed the slaves, the president
was popular enough to have been capable of forging independent policy. Lincoln
had become a very dangerous man. He was politically unassailable except through
assassination.
To confuse the issue, a David Taylor enters the picture. This account, attributed to
Don Piatt, "a noted journalist" of Washington (in an account of the origins of the
greenback in a North American Review article), refers to David Taylor of Ohio:

"This idea struck David Taylor, of Ohio, with such force that he sought Mr. Lincoln
and urged him to put the project into immediate execution. The President listened
patiently, and at the end said, 'That is a good idea Taylor, but you must go to
Chase. He is running that end of the machine, and has time to consider your
proposition.'
"Taylor sought the Secretary of the Treasury, and laid before him Amasa
Walker's plan. Secretary Chase heard him through in a cold, unpleasant manner,
and then said: 'That is all very well, Mr. Taylor; but there is one little obstacle in the
way that makes the plan impracticable, and that is the Constitution.'
"Saying this, he turned to his desk, as if dismissing both Mr. Taylor and his
proposition at the same moment.
"The poor enthusiast felt rebuked and humiliated. He returned to the President,
however, and reported his defeat. Mr. Lincoln looked at the would-be financier with
the expression at times so peculiar to his homely face, that left one in doubt
whether he was jesting or in earnest. 'Taylor!' he exclaimed, 'go back to Chase and
tell him not to bother himself about the Constitution. Say that I have that sacred
instrument here at the White House, and I am guarding it with great care.'
"Taylor demurred to this, on the ground that Secretary Chase showed by his
manner that he knew all about it, and didn't wish to be bored by any suggestion.
"'We'll see about that,' said the President, and taking a card from the table, he
wrote upon it:

I have long determined to make public the origin of the greenback and tell the world
that it was Dick Taylor’s creation. You had always been friendly to me, and when
troublous times fell on us, and my shoulders, though broad and willing, were weak,
and myself surrounded by such circumstances and such people that I knew not
whom to trust, then I said in my extremity, ‘I will send for Colonel Taylor — he will
know what to do.' I think it was in January 1862, on or about the 16th, that I did so.
Said you: ‘Why, issue treasury notes bearing no interest, printed on the best
banking paper. Issue enough to pay off the army expenses and declare it legal
tender.' Chase thought it a hazardous thing, but we finally accomplished it, and
gave the people of this Republic the greatest blessing they ever had — their own
paper to pay their debts. It is due to you, the father of the present greenback, that
the people should know it and I take great pleasure in making it known. How many
times have I laughed at you telling me, plainly, that I was too lazy to be anything
but a lawyer.

We still call American dollars (Federal Reserve Notes ), "greenbacks," but only
because they closely resemble greenbacks in appearance. There are very
significant differences between FRN's and greenbacks. The Lincoln era greenbacks,
which were Treasury Notes, were our first official circulating national paper
currency. (Revolutionary era, so-called "Continentals" are not counted since they
were issued before the present United States of America existed.) Later gold and
silver certificates, National Bank Currency, and Federal Reserve Notes, were

patterned closely after greenbacks in appearance, and all five types of currency
have circulated concurrently and interchangeably as "legal tender."
Everybody knows about Lincoln's greenbacks, but few people know very much
about them because history has given them rather short-shift. Though several
books have been written on the greenback and our Legal Tender laws, Lincoln's
apparent "original intent" (aside from the necessities of financing the war), have
been totally ignored. Greenbacks have become a mere foot-note of America's
monetary history. Ditto for the rationale and mind behind them. Greenbacks are
explained away simply as a temporary emergency war time measure, and Taylor
has almost disappeared from the record. It is quite possible he bowed out of the
public eye with some prompting, and perhaps even stern warnings -- like, "Or your
name will be Mudd!"
The Lincoln greenback issue not only offended the eastern bankers in this country,
but their superiors in England. The European money power (essentially, the Bank of
England), feared the greenback. In fact, it almost threw the weight of the British
Empire behind the Southern cause. The need for access to cotton was not the only
interest England had in the Confederacy.
" 'The great debt that (our friends the) capitalists (of Europe) will see to it is made
out of the war must be used to control the volume of money... It will not do to allow
the greenback, as it is called, to circulate... for we cannot control them' "
1. Directs the Treasury Department to issue U.S. Notes (exactly like Lincoln’s
Greenbacks) to pay off the National debt.
2. Increases the reserve ratio private banks are required to maintain from 10%
to 100%, thereby terminating their ability to create money, while
simultaneously absorbing the funds created to retire the national debt.
The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits
needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of
consumers. The privilege of creating and issuing money is not only the supreme
prerogative of Government, but it is the Government's greatest creative
opportunity. By the adoption of these principles….the taxpayers will be saved
immense sum of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of

system. He believed that the spending power of government and the buying power
of the consumers could and should be created and issued by the State free from
"interest, discounts and other charges" imposed as the profit of the private money
system. Lincoln's monetary programme offered the means of paying the debts and
current expenses of government without profit to the bankers and without disaster
to the taxpayers.
Quite naturally, the bankers opposed Lincoln's "national currency program" for
under it he proposed to take away from the bankers the privilege of issuing an
effective substitute for money. Instead of borrowing from the private money
system, Lincoln proposed to use national currency for all government expenses and
to pay off outstanding bonds with the same medium of exchange. Instead of
government borrowing a fiction of money from the bankers Lincoln proposed to
compel the bankers to borrow real money from the government.
The issue between Lincoln and the financiers was clear cut and well defined. It
involved the great question that must now be settled. That issue is: Shall the
medium of exchange, consisting of money, token currency, inconvertible bank notes
and inconvertible bank credit transferable by cheque, be created and issued by men
responsible to the government and subject to the restrictions of stewardship or shall
it be created and issued by men who are answerable to neither nation nor people
and who have no responsibility other than that of serving their own and the
interests of the private money system? In short, shall government be subordinate to
Money Power, with the money changers ruling Democracy? Or shall Democracy rule
the money changers? Lincoln knew that it was upon the determination of this great
issue in favour of Democracy that the progress, prosperity and peace of humanity
depended.
By the adoption of these principles, the long-felt want for a uniform medium will be
satisfied. The taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest, discounts, and
exchanges. The financing of all public enterprise, the maintenance of stable
government and ordered progress, and the conduct of the Treasury will become
matters of practical administration. The people can and will be furnished with a
currency as safe as their own Government. Money will cease to be master and
become the servant of humanity. Democracy will rise superior to the money power.8

They wasted no time in expressing their view in the London Times. Oddly enough,
while the article seems to have been designed to discourage this creative financial
policy, in its put down we're clearly able to see the policies goodness.
If this mischievious financial policy which has its orgin in North America, shall
become endurated down to a fixture, then that Government will furnish its own
money without cost.It will pay off debt and be without debt. It will have all the
money necessary to carry on its commerce. It will become prosperous without

to North America. That country must be destroyed or it will destroy every
monarchy on the globe-----------Times Of London
Hazard Circular - London Times 1865 From this extract its plan to see that it is the
advantage provided by the adopting of this policy which poses a threat to those not
using it. 1863, nearly there, Lincoln needed just a bit more money to win the war,
and seeing him in this vulnerable state, and knowing that the president could not
get the congressional authority to issue more greenbacks, the money changers
proposed the passing of the National Bank Act. The act went through. From this
point on the entire US money supply would be created out of debt by bankers
buying US government bonds and issuing them from reserves for bank notes. The
greenbacks continued to be in circulation until 1994, their numbers were not
increased but in fact decreased.
"In numerous years following the war, the Federal Government ran a heavy surplus.
It could not (however) pay off its debt, retire its securities, because to do so meant
there would be no bonds to back the national bank notes. To pay off the debt was to
destroy the money supply."-------------------------- John Kenneth Galbrath
John Kenneth Galbrath The American economy has been based on government debt
since 1864 and it is locked into this system. Talk of paying off the debt without first
reforming the banking system is just talk and a complete impossibility. That same
year Lincoln had a pleasant surprise. Turns out the Tsar of Russia, Alexander II, was
well aware of the money changers scam. The Tsar was refusing to allow them to set
up a central bank in Russia. If Lincoln could limit the power of the money changers
and win the war, the bankers would not be able to split America and hand it back to
Britain and France as planned. The Tsar knew that this handing back would come at
a cost which would eventually need to be paid back by attacking Russia, it being
clearly in the money changers sights. The Tsar declared that if France or Britain
gave help to the South, Russia would consider this an act of war. Britain and France
would instead wait in vain to have the wealth of the colonies returned to them, and
while they waited Lincoln won the civil war. With an election coming up the next

civilization. They will not hesitate to plunge the whole of Christendom into
wars and chaos in order that the earth should become their inheritance.”
--- Bismarck
Bismarck said:" The death of Lincoln was resolved upon. Nothing is easier than to
find a fanatic to strike. The Civil War and Control of Money. ) Compare this with
Howard Zinn who although a Leftist, makes no mention of European financiers. His
book, a soap opera of oppression, says the war was a clash of "elites": "The
Northern elite wanted economic expansion.... The slave interests opposed all that."
(189) Again, "The American government had set out to ... retain the enormous
national territory and market and resources."11,12

practically all the buildings, industries, farms, transport systems and mineral
resources of the world. Accounting for this, Quigley wrote:
"Their secret is that they have annexed from governments,
monarchies, and republics the power to create the world 's money
on debt-terms requiring tribute both in principal and interest."
In 1902: President Theodore Roosevelt used Sherman Anti-Trust Act to try to break
up the Morgan and his friends industrial monopolies. However it wasn't really
broken up at all. It was merely divided into seven corporations, all still
controlled by the Rockefellers,
By 1907, the year after Teddy Roosevelt's re-election, Morgan and his friends were
able to crash the stock market. Thousands of small banks were vastly
overextended.
Morgan stepped into the market with the permission of Congress and manufactured
$200 million worth of this completely reserveless, private money - and bought
things with it, paid for services with it, and sent some of it to his branch banks to
lend out at interest.
The public regained confidence in money in general and quit hoarding their
currency however many small banks failed and banking power was further
consolidated into the hands of a few large banks. By 1908 the arranged panic was
over and Morgan was hailed as a hero by the president of Princeton University, a
naive man by the name of Woodrow Wilson, who naively wrote:
"All this trouble could be averted if we appointed a committee of six or
seven public-spirited men like J.P. Morgan to handle the affairs of our
country."
The creation of the Federal Reserve System was the direct result of the panic of
1907, quote:
"with its alarming epidemic of bank failures: the country was fed up
once and for all with the anarchy of unstable private banking."
Further moves taken by the National Banks to fleece the American public of their
property, and later to claim that the decentralized banking system was basically so
unstable that it had to be further consolidated and control centralized into a central
bank The supremely critical economic issue of private v/s state ownership and
control was carefully skirted, as was the fractional reserve banking fraud causing
the booms and busts.

Step 3. The Fed pays for the bonds with electronic credits to the
seller's bank, which in turn credits the seller's bank account. These
credits are based on nothing tangible. The Fed just creates them.
Step 4. The banks use these deposits as reserves. They can loan out
ten times the amount of their reserves to new borrowers, all at interest.
In this way, a Fed purchase of, say a million dollars worth of bonds, gets turned into
over 10 million dollars in bank deposits. The Fed, in effect, creates 10% of this
totally new money and the banks create the other 90%. To reduce the
amount of money in the economy, the process is just reversed - the Fed sells bonds
to the public, and money flows out of the purchaser's local bank. Loans must be
reduced by ten times the amount of the sale.

A year after passage of the Federal Reserve Bill, Congressman Lindbergh explained
how the Fed created what we have come to call the "Business Cycle" and how they
use it to their advantage:
"To cause high prices, all the Federal Reserve Board will do will be to
lower the rediscount rate..., producing an expansion of credit and a
rising stock market; then when... business men are adjusted to these
conditions, it can check... prosperity in mid-career by arbitrarily raising
the rate of interest.
It can cause the pendulum of a rising and falling market to swing gently
back and forth by slight changes in the discount rate, or cause violent
fluctuations by a greater rate variation, and in either case it will possess
inside information as to financial conditions and advance knowledge of
the coming change, either up or down.
This is the strangest, most dangerous advantage ever placed in the
hands of a special privilege class by any Government that ever existed.
They know in advance when to create panics to their advantage. They
also know when to stop panic. Inflation and deflaion work equally well
for them when they control finance..."
Three years after the passage of the Federal Reserve Act, even President Wilson
began to have second thoughts about what he had unleashed during his first term
in office.
"We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most
completely controlled governments in the civilized world - no longer a
government offree opinion, no longer a government by ... a vote of the
majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group
of dominant men.
Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce
and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a
power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked,
so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their
breath when they speak in condemnation of it."
Before his death in 1924, President Wilson realized the full extent of the damage he
had done to America, when he sadly confessed:
"I have unwittingly ruined my government"
Finally, the Money Changers, had their privately owned central bank installed again
in America. The major newspapers (which they owned or heavily influenced through
their advertising) hailed passage of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. The 5th
Amencan Bank War ended in victory for the Money Changers and the defeat of the
American people.

corrupt and dishonest Federal Rseerve Roard and the Federal Reserve
banks."
The Fed and the Bank of England, along with their controlling stock-holders, the
Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Morgans, Schiffs, Warburgs, etc., were creating a
monster, one which would fuel seven decades of unprecedented Communist
revolution, warfare, and most importantly - debt.
The Soviet Union was also a useful counterbalance to Germany, and later to the
U.S., until 1989 with its dismemberment into fifteen countries. China then became a
new counterbalance to the U.S., and is being built up at the rate of over $100
million dollars a day by lopsided trade deals, IMF loans and Western investments.
Such balance-of-power arrangements assure that the Money Changers cannot be
overthrown worldwide by a political revolt in any single country. In that case, they
simply shift support to the counter-balanced country. Additionally, the inevitable
military rivalry between roughly balanced powers results in massive expenditures
and so more national borrowing and debt.
Even in the socialist paradise, Rockefeller's National City Bank (now Citigroup) in St.
Petersburg was never nationalized, as were all Russian banks. Numerous Western
bankers operated openly in the Soviet Union, and made vast profits.
In 1992, The Washington Times reported that Russian President Boris Yeltsen was
upset that most of the incoming foreign aid was being siphoned off "straight back
into the coffers of Western banks in debt service." Much of that debt was incurred
under the prior communist regimes, which were heavily in debt to the Money
Changers.
The bankers' three main regional groupings: the European Union, the proposed
American Union in the Western hemisphere, and Chinese dominance in Asia, are
rapidly bringing to life Orwell's three virtually identical world nations set forth in his
book 1984: Eurasia, Oceania and East Asia - all set to engage in perpetual war
(WWIII) with its attendant debt and population reduction and control.
Senator Nye of North Dakota raised the possibility that the Wilson administration
entered WWI, at a critical juncture for the allies, in order to protect huge Wall Street
bank loans to the allies. During the War the U.S. money supply was doubled to pay
for it, halving the dollar's purchasing power and so -----Americans' savings.

What it actually wanted was to control the money supply in the economy, which it
would be able to through a central or federal bank.
The crash of 1907 is considered to be the torque which led to the formation of the
Central bank or Federal Reserve Bank.
The purpose of this bank was not to save people’s money more efficiently, but to
build more and more profits by playing with it.
J P Morgan was able to create a need for a central bank by convincing people by
saying:
“If there were a central bank at the time of Stock market crash, people
might not have suffered so much.”
The Federal Reserve Bill was approved on Dec 22, 1913. Now, the central bank was
in the hands of an elite few. The future of American economics would now be in
private hands.
After the formation of Federal Reserve Bank they began to play around with the
money entrusted to them. At that time, industries used to grow from their own
profits and there was no concept of borrowing. Therefore, these nefarious few
began to work on how to curb these practices and bring about a revolution in the
course of events.

2. The bonds purchased by FED are then up for sale in open market.
3. The Federal Reserve Bank pays for the bonds with electronic credits to the
sellers’ banks, which in turn credit the sellers’ accounts. These credits are
based on nothing! The FED just creates them in simpler terms when it
purchases any Bonds from those who do not transfer cash to their accounts.
They just create a credit electronically to their banks accounts.
4. The banks used these deposits as reserve (actually there were no reserves),
and can loan out 10 times the amount to new borrower and get interest on it.
That’s how they began to play with money, and to control the money supply in the
economy by selling and purchasing these bonds. They can create shortages as well
as excess of money in the economy.
The another thing they started was the expansion of credit, which caused the stock
market to rise, so investor felt safer, and began to increase their investments. They
then suddenly raised the interest rates so investors who had taken the loans began
to take new loans to pay off the previous loans. Thus they created Business Cycles.
By mid-1930, interest rates had plunged, but expected deflation and the reluctance
of people to add new debt by borrowing, meant that consumer spending and
investment was depressed. In May 1930, automobile sales had declined to below
the levels of 1928. Prices in general began to decline, but wages held steady in
1930; but then a deflationary spiral started in 1931. Conditions were worse in
farming areas, where commodity prices plunged, and in mining and logging areas,
where unemployment was high and there were few other jobs. The decline in the US
economy was the factor that pulled down most other countries at first, and then
internal weaknesses or strengths in each country made conditions worse or better.
Frantic attempts to shore up the economies of individual nations through
protectionist policies, such as the 1930 U.S. Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act and retaliatory
tariffs in other countries, exacerbated the collapse in global trade. By late 1930 a
steady decline set in, which reached bottom by March 1933.
Structural explanations
Keynesian
British economist John Maynard Keynes argued in his book, “General Theory of
Employment Interest and Money” that lower aggregate expenditures in the
economy contributed to a massive decline in income and to employment that was
well below the average. In such a situation, the economy reached equilibrium at low
levels of economic activity and high unemployment. Keynes basic idea was simple:
to keep people fully employed, governments have to run deficits when the economy
is slowing, as the private sector would not invest enough to keep production at the
normal level and bring the economy out of recession. Keynesian economists called

As the Depression wore on, Roosevelt tried public works, farm subsidies, and other
devices to restart the economy, but never completely gave up trying to balance the
budget. According to the Keynesians, this improved the economy, but Roosevelt
never spent enough to bring the economy out of recession until the start of World
War II
In dollar terms, American exports declined from about $5.2 billion in 1929 to $1.7
billion in 1933; but prices also fell, so the physical volume of exports only fell by
half. Hardest hit were farm commodities such as wheat, cotton, tobacco, and
lumber. According to this theory, the collapse of farm exports caused many
American farmers to default on their loans, leading to the bank runs on small rural
banks that characterized the early years of the Great Depression.
Debt deflation
Irving Fisher argued that the predominant factor leading to the Great Depression
was over-indebtedness and deflation. Fisher tied loose credit to over-indebtedness,
which fueled speculation and asset bubbles. He then outlined 9 factors interacting
with one another under conditions of debt and deflation to create the mechanics of
boom to bust. The chain of events proceeded as follows:

During the Crash of 1929 preceding the Great Depression, margin requirements
were only 10%. Brokerage firms, in other words, would lend $9 for every $1 an
investor had deposited. When the market fell, brokers called in these loans, which
could not be paid back. Banks began to fail as debtors defaulted on debt and
depositors attempted to withdraw their deposits en masse, triggering multiple bank
runs. Government guarantees and Federal Reserve banking regulations to prevent
such panics were ineffective or not used. Bank failures led to the loss of billions of
dollars in assets. Outstanding debts became heavier, because prices and incomes
fell by 20–50% but the debts remained at the same dollar amount. After the panic of
1929, and during the first 10 months of 1930, 744 US banks failed. (In all, 9,000
banks failed during the 1930s). By April 1933, around $7 billion in deposits had
been frozen in failed banks or those left unlicensed after the March Bank Holiday
Bank failures snowballed as desperate bankers called in loans which the borrowers
did not have time or money to repay. With future profits looking poor, capital
investment and construction slowed or completely ceased. In the face of bad loans
and worsening future prospects, the surviving banks became even more
conservative in their lending. Banks built up their capital reserves and made fewer
loans, which intensified deflationary pressures. A vicious cycle developed and the
downward spiral accelerated.
The liquidation of debt could not keep up with the fall of prices which it caused. The
mass effect of the stampede to liquidate increased the value of each dollar owed,
relative to the value of declining asset holdings. The very effort of individuals to
lessen their burden of debt effectively increased it. Paradoxically, the more the
debtors paid, the more they owed. This self-aggravating process turned a 1930
recession into a 1933 great depression.
Macroeconomists including Ben Bernanke, the current chairman of the U.S. Federal
Reserve Bank, have revived the debt-deflation view of the Great Depression
originated by Fisher.

The movie begins by asking some tough questions, and then goes on to explain the role of the goldsmiths
and money changers, the international bankers and how they plan to dominate the world through debt,
which is what the New World Order is all about.
It also concludes that central banks are now three centuries old, and no longer depend on individuals.
They are institutions, which endure and continue to grow with an aura of respectability. So, now it’s the
corrupt banking system that is the main problem. Thus, what needs to be done is to do away with the
system, and replace it with a better system which would focus on helping the masses instead of
concentrating wealth in the hands of a few.
The claim that the Fed, or rather all central banks, create monetary stability is strongly refuted, as history
is witness to the major depressions, in quick
succession, soon after the passing of the Fed bill.

reserve banking will itself create tremendous inflation.

As the Treasury buys up its bonds on the open market with US Notes, the
reserve requirement of your hometown local bank will be proportionally raised so
the amount of money in circulation remains constant.
Once all US bonds are replaced with US notes, the banks will return to 100%
reserve banking. Monetary power will be under government control, and thus
there will be no further creation or contraction of money by banks. The US
national debt will thus be retired within a year or two, leading to a lowering of
taxes, ceasing inflation and the value of savings, wages and fixed incomes will
be preserved! The money supply in the economy should then increase slowly,
roughly in proportion to population growth and price level index, leading to
economic stability.

It is imperative that the masses are informed and really understand how money is
being manipulated, and the possible remedy to get out of this quagmire, so as not
to be fooled by false solutions proposed by vested interests. One such false solution
could be a call to return to the gold standard, as most of the gold is concentrated in
the hands of the international governmental bodies such as the IMF and the World
Bank, which seek to dominate the global economy through the New World Order.
Thus, we should also beware of any plans for regional or world currency, as that
would also be a tool to serve the same purpose.

The foundation for global governance is the belief that the world is now ready to accept
a "global civic ethic" based on "a set of core values that can unite people of all

and ultimately by the rule of enforceable law." ….
Conclusion
Many of the recommendations contained in this report have already been incorporated
into treaties, agreements, and proposals initiated by the international community. Some
have already been implemented. The Commission has called for the General Assembly
to schedule a World Conference on Governance in 1998. Preparatory work has already
begun. PrepComs will be conducted to develop documents on global governance -
similar to the procedure used to develop the documents presented at Rio - which are to
be adopted at the 1998 Conference and ratified for implementation by the year 2000.
Only "accredited" NGOs will be allowed to participate in the PrepComs. Only
accredited NGOs and their affiliates will participate in the adoption strategy.
More importantly, only delegates appointed by the President of the United States will
be able to cast a vote on all the issues that so dramatically affect every American. The
current Presidential appointees are the very people who helped develop the proposals
from their various positions with accredited NGOs.

the world into a global neighborhood managed by a world-wide bureaucracy, under the
direct authority of a minute handful of appointed individuals, and policed by thousands

Relevant Facts
The Federal Reserve System serves as the central bank for the United States. It is a
congressionally-chartered agency like the USPS and NASA. It is organized with a
government agency at the top (the Board of Governors), and branches beneath them that
resemble corporations and share control with private banks. [2]
The Board of Governors are all appointed for 14-year terms by the president and confirmed
by congress. It operates per it's charter and laws set by congress. it is overseen by
congress. Board members are forbidden by law to have any economic interest in a private

bank. [3]. The Board determines monetary policy and provides high level oversight of the
branches.
The 12 branches are organized similar to corporations. Member banks are required to buy
shares in their branch. Each bank has one vote. The shares get a standard 6% dividend.
They can vote for 6 of their 9 board members. All 'profit' from the Federal Reserve branches
are turned over to the Treasury at the end of the year. [4]
The structure and powers of the Federal Reserve are enumerated in Title 12, chapter 3 of
the U.S. Code. [1].

• Federal Reserve branch employees are not considered 'civil service' and have their
own payroll, benefits, and retirement system. This would be in keeping with a
general ideal of maintaining a certain independence from the rest of the government,
and therefore less susceptable to political influence.
Court rulings
Courts have consistently ruled that, for the purposes of applying laws, the branches can be
considered private corporations that act as agents or instruments for the federal
government. This means they can be sued as private corporations in tort law, but their
duties may be construed as extensions of the Federal government.
Federal Reserve:
At their web site, the Federal Reserve describes the branches as corporations operated for
non-profit purposes [http://federalreserve.gov/generalinfo/faq/faqfrs.htm#5]. The Fed
indicates the shers do not constitute ownership as such. The 'non-profit' aspect is only
partly true as member banks receive a 6% dividend on their shares.
Congress
• A report from the Congressional Research Service (1996) declares the banks as
'private institutions' along with many of the caveats listed above.
• Congressman Ron Paul has consistently called the Federal Reserve a 'private bank'
but does not distinquish the Board of Governors government agency from the branch
banks.

U.S. dollars. Since the money supply continually grows, this debt never really has to be paid
back. When the bonds do mature, the Fed replaces them with new bond purchases.
False By law, the Federal Reserve and all it's banks are audited at least once a year.

False There is a relatively small amount of gold among the collateral used to back Federal
Reserve notes. Out of $800B in currency, $11B of the collateral in gold (more accurately it
is in Gold Certificates; the actual gold is held by the Treasury)
Claim: John F Kennedy signed executive order 11110 that would have put the
Federal Reserve out of business; and was subsequently assassiated
Though there are some elements of truth, the basic presumption is not true.
True … Kennedy was assassinated (contrary to rumors of him living in Argentina with Hitler
and Elvis)
True … that Kennedy signed Executive Order 11110 which delegated authority to the
Treasury Secretary to print silver certificates at will (ref:
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_order_11110] ).
False … that this would put the Federal Reserve out of business.
One only needs to examanine the claims to realize how silly the theory is. Given all the Fed
duties and responsibilities, to claim that issuing silver certificates would nullify all the Fed
duties is preposterous. Ever since it's inception, the Federal Reserve has worked with
whatever the currency of the realm. Federal Reserve notes circulated along side silver
certificates, gold certificates, and coins. From a day-to-day operations side, it really makes
no difference. History showed that the government was trying to get away from the silver
standard. Silver prices were rising to the point where a silver dollar would have more than a
dollars worth of silver. This executive order was seen as giving the Treasury Secretary more
flexibility to do that.
There was not enough silver to replace all the currency in circulation with silver certificates.

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.
False This alleged quote was derived from portions of the book The New Freedom published
in 1913. This book was a compilation of speeches from 1911 and did not refer to the Federal
Reserve.
