1. Wow, just wow! No comment needed.

[vets74]

17. I edited this with "Coming 1912 Money Trust" and stretch-printed the result.

I'll get a couple dozen of them down to OWS either tomorrow or Sunday.

"Aldrich Plan" is obtuse for non-economist, non-historians. Maybe the "Octopus" idea will fit in better.... Went to "Octopus Federal Reserve 2011" and that seems to make sense. tie it together.

Btw: converting Ron Paul supporters to hard core left ain't all that hard to put together.

He's doing False Front slogan-selling.

The Left has a long history of accurate, honest thinking.

18. Actually, the reference to Alrich isn't bad

For the curious among us, it gets people to dig on where this all started.

[existentialist]

25. It could also be argued that it started with Alexander Hamilton.

and Nicholas Biddle.

I'm no particular fan of Andrew Jackson, but he did have solid points for distrusting the Second Bank of the United States.


Conversely, in some sense I am a fan of Alexander Hamilton in some respects, but he absolutely glossed over and did not seriously consider the dangers and likelihood of corruption in a banking system that had special favor and sanction with the United States government.

9. What FDR thought in 1933...

"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson."

-- President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a letter to Colonel Edward M. House, October 21, 1933

26. I read a treatise on The Fed,

that goes back through the Rothschilds to the mid 1700's, describing the intentions of "The Baron" to create a central world bank, pitting one country or community against it's neighbor with propaganda, then 'selling' the war means to overcome the antagonist on one side, and ditto for the other, as a loan with interest, beginning in Bulgaria or some such. Teaching his five sons the 'secrets' to banking success and sending them to various parts of the world to carry on the family tradition.
Has anybody else here read of this, or am I really a candidate for some tinfoil?

"Starting Wars Creates Wealth"
"Foster Nationalism then Create Unrest"
"Even If It Takes A Generation Or Two"

Here's quote from 1790: Mayer Amschel Rothschild: "Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws."


edit: It was Bavaria, not Bulgaria.

Here's a link with a quick google: http://www.iamthewitness.com/DarylBradfordSmith_Rothschild.htm

[stockholmer]

38. you are so far from tinfoil, and so headed for real the deep politics/economics that run the world

You, upon this journey, will find much disinfo, and also you will be personally attacked, but trust your own research, and use your discernment to start to peel back the onion.

34. Prophesy...

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around 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, Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802)

39. The Federal Reserve is not "Federal". It is private foreign BANKERS.

"Most Americans have no real understanding of the operation of the international money lenders. The accounts of the Federal
Reserve System have never been audited. It operates outside the control of Congress and manipulates the credit of the United
States" -- Sen. Barry Goldwater (Rep. AZ)
-------------


"Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are the United States government's institutions.
They are not government institutions. They are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people
of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign swindlers" -- Congressional
Record 12595-12603 -- Louis T. McFadden, Chairman of the Committee on Banking and Currency (12 years) June 10, 1932


------------



"This establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President
the worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking and currency bill."
-- Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr. , 1913

40. The Federal Reseve is a private syndicate needs to be remembered..

43. People were so unsophisticated in the old days. We know now what progress is.

[RB TexLa]

44. So there were Ron Paul type crazies then too. So what, these people are marginalized.

[roamer65]

45. Very accurate for what was going on in 1912.

If they only knew what was coming...12 "independent" Federal Reserve districts, who were not independent very long. The Fed consortium put Benjamin Strong in as president of the NY Fed who basically ended the independence.
