Editor's
note: I have reviewed the 3.5 hour documentary The Money
Masters and have found the information to be shocking -- and,
you know, it's hard to be shocked in our world any more, but this
piece of work managed to do it. Your present world view will
not survive a survey of this material. I strongly suggest that you
buy this DVD and to circulate it among your friends.

We, in our
youths, have been offered a most slanted view of history. Try
this one on for size: Benjamin Franklin, the American patron
saint of civic wisdom, was asked to give the prime reason for the
Revolutionary War. We poor history-illiterates might have expected
an answer like "the Stamp Act" or "the Boston Massacre" or some
such. But, without hesitation, Franklin immediately shot back
with: "That's easy," and explained that the central bank of
England had designs on controlling America for its own private
gain. This is straight out of his Autobiography, no
secret document, but it's not what we heard
in school.

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.
... The modern theory of the perpetuation of
debt has drenched the earth with blood, and crushed its
inhabitants under burdens ever accumulating. -Thomas
Jefferson |

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 its issuance. -James
Madison |

If
congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper
money, it was given them to use themselves, not to be
delegated to individuals or corporations. -Andrew
Jackson |

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. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers
will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be
master and become the servant of humanity. -Abraham
Lincoln |

Issue of currency should be lodged with the
government and be protected from domination by Wall Street. We
are opposed to...provisions [which] would place our currency
and credit system in private hands. - Theodore Roosevelt

Despite
these warnings, Woodrow Wilson signed the 1913 Federal Reserve
Act. A few years later he wrote: 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 |

Years later, reflecting
on the major banks' control in Washington, President
Franklin Roosevelt paid this indirect praise to his
distant predecessor President Andrew Jackson, who had
"killed" the 2nd Bank of the US (an earlier type of the
Federal Reserve System). After Jackson's administration
the bankers' influence was gradually restored and
increased, culminating in the passage of the Federal
Reserve Act of 1913. Roosevelt knew this history.
The real truth of the
matter is,as you and I know, that a
financial element in the large centers has owned the
government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson... -
Franklin D. Roosevelt
(in a letter
to Colonel House, dated November 21, 1933)
