So-called Signs (9-10-08)
"If I am a man of God let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty" Elijah said in II Kings I. This is a great miracle and certainly an attestation to Elijah's standing with God. It is a perverse and wicked generation that seeks after signs like this. This the same crowd that ridiculed Christ with taunts to get off the cross. It is the spirit behind the retards and so-called Christians. This is why you are so-called. If you knew Christ you would have the mind of Christ and know His ways. In olden times God performed many destructive miracles as this band discovered with Elijah. God over time has narrowed His focus from teaching in types and shadows to appearing Himself. Christ performed many miracles but only one of destruction. That of the curse of the fig tree. This statement was of a paramount necessity as a witness of what was transpiring with Israel. I don't think He wanted it that way but He could not gather them under His wing. Every other miracle and His teaching was all about restoration, revival, and love. You so-called don't see God deliver me with fire or at all. My prolonged suffering you attribute to justice and sin. Otherwise God would have entered in. This is the foolish expectation of the so-called crowd. Never can you picture Christ staying on a cross or making that demand of His children. The worst for you is that all the evidence of Christ is right before you but since you know him not you are oblivious to His ways. Only Christ can love His enemies. Only Christ can endure suffering with the joys of obedience. Only Christ can unravel the mysteries of His word. Only Christ can restrain His wrath and power through endless mercies. Only Christ can have hope for retards. All these things you witness Christ do through me but you discard it as counterfeit. One thing you fail to reason is that these things cannot be counterfeited because the only one who can practice them is authentic. If a man not knowing Christ attempted them he would fail from the inception because to counterfeit one has to have knowledge of the original which Christ never distributes to these outside His body. You really think the things of the spirit can be understood by the flesh? Your stupid financial ignorance of the flesh is not spiritual wisdom as you have so-called it. Christ is your only remedy to see Christ in me or anyone else.

HOUSE LEADERSHIP INVOKES “MARTIAL LAW,” FORCING MEMBERS TO VOTE ON KEY BILLS WITHOUT FULL KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT THEY ARE VOTING ON: MOVE REPRESENTS EROSION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS
Statement by Robert Greenstein
Executive Director, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
The House Republican Leadership has announced its intention to have the House vote, before adjourning on Friday or Saturday, on several major pieces of legislation that are not yet available to House members in final form because behind-closed-door negotiations on the proposals are still going on. The Leadership apparently intends to use a process known as “martial law” to allow these bills to be brought to the floor very shortly after negotiations are completed, with the result that Members of the House are likely to have virtually no time to examine and consider the details of the legislation before they will be required to vote on it.
Among the matters the House may be asked to vote on under martial law are a major conference report on pension legislation, a costly bill that would permanently reduce the estate tax and extend certain expiring tax provisions, and a bill that could combine a controversial health insurance proposal with an increase in the minimum wage (there also are reports that the estate tax, minimum wage, and expiring tax provisions may be combined into a single bill). The House Rules Committee on Thursday afternoon reported a resolution that would provide martial law authority in relation to all of these bills.
Under the martial law procedure, longstanding House rules that require at least one day between the unveiling of significant legislation and the House floor vote on that legislation — so that Members can learn what they are being asked to vote on — are swept away. Instead, under “martial law,” the Leadership can file legislation with tens or hundreds of pages of fine print and move immediately to debate and votes on it, before Members of Congress, the media, or the public have an opportunity to understand fully what provisions have been altered or inserted into the legislation behind closed doors. This is the procedure that the Leadership intends to use to muscle through important bills in the next two days.
This procedure diminishes democracy. When major legislation is being considered that would add hundreds of billions of dollars to the debt or affect millions of Americans in other ways, Members of Congress should have an opportunity to study the legislation for more than a couple of hours and to know what they are voting on.
The Bills in Question
The pension bill, which contains important changes in the rules governing defined benefit pension plans and tax laws affecting retirement savings (and also may serve as a vehicle for tax changes unrelated to retirement), has been the subject of vigorous debate for months among members of the House-Senate conference committee. Although a final agreement on the conference report has reportedly been imminent for days, the conferees were still working out differences as of Thursday evening. The legislation that would provide for a permanent reduction in the estate tax and the extension of a number of popular expiring tax provisions (such as the research and development tax credit) has not been finalized because the pension bill conferees are still debating whether some or all of those provisions should be included in the conference report on the pension bill. Legislation that would promote so-called “association health plans” and increase the minimum wage (and likely contain other provisions intended to make the minimum wage increase more acceptable to House conservatives) also is still being negotiated behind closed doors by Republican leaders.
Some of these bills are very costly. The sharp reductions in the estate tax that are under consideration, and provisions making permanent the pension tax cuts enacted in 2001 (which are expected to be in the pension conference report), would cost approximately $325 billion over the ten-year period from 2007 to 2016. And because most of these provisions would not take effect until after 2010, their long-term costs are much larger. During the first decade when these provisions would be fully in effect, 2012 to 2021, they would reduce revenues by about $700 billion. When the increased interest payments on the debt are included, the total impact on the budget rises to nearly $900 billion over that decade.
Despite these large costs, the plan of the House Republican Leadership appears to be to pass the martial-law rule the House Rules Committee reported last night, allowing any or all of the three bills to go directly to the House floor as soon as the private negotiations on them have been concluded — and before the public, the media, or even Members of the House themselves have an opportunity to examine the revised legislation carefully.
Among other things, this arouses suspicion that some of the changes that are being made in the proposals may be presented as easing certain controversial provisions of the bills, even if the reality is different. It also creates concern that some special-interest provisions may have been inserted into the bills, or some special interests may otherwise have been protected, in order to secure votes.
Use of the martial law procedure will enable the Leadership to seek to round up the votes needed to pass the bills before a full picture is available of what the bills actually do.
What is “Martial Law”?
The House leadership is using a parliamentary gambit to evade a longstanding House rule that is supposed to ensure that this kind of obfuscation does not occur. That House rule (Rule XIII(6)(a)) provides that a resolution (called a rule) reported by the Rules Committee cannot be considered by the House on the same legislative day that the rule is reported (except by a two-thirds vote of the House). This is supposed to ensure that Members of the House and the public have at least one day to examine and analyze what is in legislation before they have to debate and vote on it.
To maneuver around this House rule and rush the three proposals discussed above to a vote before they have been fully examined, the Rules Committee reported a rule late Thursday afternoon (H.Res. 958) that would waive the application of Rule XIII(6)(a). Instead, it would allow the Rules Committee to wait until the last minute and not to report the rules governing the consideration of these bills or to release the text of the bills themselves until immediately before debate and votes on the bills, and on the rules governing their consideration, commences.
This extraordinary procedure is known as a “martial law” rule because it suspends the normal procedures and safeguards and allows the House Leadership to operate in a more authoritarian fashion. It enables the Leadership to seek to ram a bill or conference report through before the Members have the opportunity to fully understand what they are voting on.
Legislation that has far-reaching implications for millions of Americans deserves to be considered under a more democratic process. Waiting until the last minute to reveal what is in these bills, and then “spinning” or potentially mischaracterizing changes in the bills without Members of the House or the public having an opportunity to obtain a more objective review of what the legislation does, is unfair to Members of the House. It also is unfair to the millions of Americans whose lives could be affected by this legislation. It represents a further step in reducing the degree of transparency and democracy in how this country is governed and how decisions are made. At a time when our leaders preach the goal of promoting democracy abroad, they should not be reducing it at home.

Russian economists are expressing shock today over a new United States law that will allow for the first time in that nation’s history the police forces of a foreign Nation to have law enforcement powers over their citizens.
These powers are specifically being granted to China’s State Security Police who operate under the Ministry of State Security for the Peoples Republic of China by the United States as a precondition for the Chinese Governments continued purchasing of US debt as the Americans continue their desperate actions to avert their total economic collapse.
China had previously ordered its banks to halt all lending to the United States, an action that would totally cripple the American banking system, and as we can read as reported by the Reuters News Service:
“Chinese regulators have told domestic banks to stop interbank lending to U.S. financial institutions to prevent possible losses during the financial crisis, the South China Morning Post reported on Thursday.
The Hong Kong newspaper cited unidentified industry sources as saying the instruction from the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) applied to interbank lending of all currencies to U.S. banks but not to banks from other countries.
"The decree appears to be Beijing's first attempt to erect defences against the deepening U.S. financial meltdown after the mainland's major lenders reported billions of U.S. dollars in exposure to the credit crisis," the SCMP said.”
Not being understood by the American people is that China is the holder of over $1.4 Trillion of US debt backed by the mortgages on the homes and property of tens of millions these people which, in essence, makes the Chinese one of the largest holders of land in the United States, and which the Chinese government has stated they will protect ‘at all costs’.
In rapid response to China’s demands that they be granted immediate access to their American properties to protect their ‘investments’, the United States is enacting a new law titled the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, and which in Section 101, Paragraph 7:3 chillingly states:
“Designating financial institutions as financial agents of the Federal Government, and such institutions shall perform all such reasonable duties related to this Act as financial agents of the Federal Government as may be required.”
The United States Federal Reserve has further notified the China Development Bank, the second largest bank in Asia and the main holder of US mortgage debt instruments, that they will be designated by the US Secretary of the Treasury as one of the financial institutions protected by this extraordinary new law, and which, according to these reports, will empower Chinese policing authorities the right to act as law enforcement officers in the United States including granting them the right to evict American citizens from homes whose mortgage debt is held by China.
Unfortunately for these American people, their own public officials have totally abandoned them as the American Center for Responsive Politics has reported that the staggering amount of $2 Billion has been paid by the perpetrators of this Global financial crisis to US Lawmakers, of both political parties, to sell out their fellow countrymen as virtual economic slaves to the all powerful International corporate cartels who now rule over them.
Even worse for these people is that the plan instituted and carried out over these past 40 years to erase their true history leaves virtually none of them today with the full, and monstrous, century old plan to destroy their Nation, and which began with almost the exact same economic crisis they are experiencing today, and was called the Panic of 1907, and of which we can read:
“The Panic of 1907, also known as the 1907 Bankers' Panic, was a financial crisis which occurred in the United States when the stock market fell close to 50% from its peak in the previous year. At the time the economy was in recession and there were numerous runs on banks and trust companies. The panic's primary cause was a retraction of loans by a number of banks in New York City, and the sentiment quickly spread across the nation leading to the closures of both state and local banks and businesses.”
So shocked were the American people by the Panic of 1907 that they allowed for the first time since their Nations founding, their lawmakers to begin the process of establishing a Central Banking System, and of which one of their founding fathers, and writer of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, warned all future generations of Americans:
“The central bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the Principles and form of our Constitution. I am an Enemy to all banks discounting bills or notes for anything but Coin. If the American People allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the People of all their Property until their Children will wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.”
Today, and sadly, the World is now witnessing these prophetic words of Thomas Jefferson coming true.
Even worse, these American people, whose ancestors laid the foundation for what was once the greatest and freest Nation on Earth, have now been reduced to what is now commonly referred to as “sheeple”, “a term of disparagement, a portmanteau created by combining the words "sheep" and "people." It is often used to denote persons who acquiesce to authority, and thus undermine their own human individuality. The implication of sheeple is that as a collective, people believe whatever they are told, especially if told so by authority figures, without processing it to be sure that it is an accurate representation of the real world around them.”
It goes without saying, of course, that these Americans do not see themselves in this most truest of lights as they continue living their lives in near total ignorance of the greater catastrophes soon to befall them, all of which they have been, and are continued to be, warned about. But, they continue to laugh off, and spurn, these warnings as they continue to believe the lies being fed them by their propaganda media organs they never seem to realize are nothing but the mouthpieces for the fascist corporate forces delivering them to the slaughterhouses they will come to know all too soon.

ADVANCE EXCERPTS FROM THE SEPTEMBER 28, 2008 BROADCAST OF
“TAKE NO PRISONERS “
Dr. Sam Kennedy’s 4 Point Common Sense Economic Recovery Plan
("About all a Federal Reserve note can legally do is wipe out one debt and replace it with itself another debt, a note that promises nothing. If anything's been paid, the payment occurs only in the minds of the parties..." Tupper Saucy, “Miracle on Main Street.”)
From Dr. Kennedy:
So, they tell us there’s an economic crisis. Let me ask you a question. If America has the most powerful economy in the world, then why does it collapse upon news of a couple of bankruptcies? Why does it collapse at the first sign of trouble? How strong can it be if a misspoken word by the chairman of the Fed of the President can cause a run on the banks? Do you get the feeling that something’s rotten in Washington?
My friends, mountains last millions of years until nature whittles them down. Mountains don’t collapse. Gold doesn’t change its properties It’s immutable. But a house of cards which is based upon promissory notes backed by nothing – promises to pay nothing – empty promises disguised by statutes and regulations to look valuable to the casual observer – then you have built a pseudo an economy that is destined to fail. It must fail; it cannot stand forever. The inevitable end of that economy is coming now or later, and Scripture tells us it is wise to face the pain now.
An economy whose currency: Federal reserve Notes, and investments such as bonds, stocks, mutual funds, and all of these screwy derivatives that no one understands, consisting exclusively of arbitrary floating value assigned to instruments of liability, where all gold and silver backing has been withdrawn by government statutes and regulations back in 1933 and 1964, is absolute insanity. It’s delusion on a frightening scale. And that’s why the politicians who are blanketing the airwaves sound like disinterested third parties at best, and morons at worst, when they try to analyze the problem and are forced to admit that they do not understand it, cannot estimate the total liability, and have no credible plan for recovery. Only an insane person could understand the myriad layers of economic Tomfoolery. And so, we find ourselves struggling to concoct through this bailout yet another palatable charade to obscure from our own sensibilities that we have wandered way off course, down a suicidal pathway, and not one among us has the courage to step forward and say This must end or we will surely condemn our children to purgatory for the sins of the fathers and their fathers before them.”
So let me ask you a couple of obvious questions.
1. Are you aware that a barrel of oil costs approximately a sixth to a tenth of an ounce of gold – just as it has for decades? In 1974 when the price of oil shot up to $40 a barrel after the Yom Kippur war, the price of gold also increased from $35 an ounce to $183 an ounce. In other words, the perceived value of the dollar is all that really changed. Did it ever occur to you that we haven’t had a gas crisis since 2003? We’ve had a dollar crisis?
2. Are you aware that in 1912, a dollar bought a steak dinner for two JUST AS IT HAD IN 1789? You can confirm this information on the internet. For120 years, we experienced a natural course of slight deflation as the cost of equipment to produce our products was paid off. Until 1913. What you’ve never been told in school or by the media or by the endless procession of self-anointed television experts, is that inflation is a contrived managed scheme concocted to steal your money, by men who do not wish you good tidings. So what happened in 1913 that raised the price of a steak dinner fifty to one hundred times? We’ll answer that in just a minute.
3. My final question is this: are you aware that the Federal Reserve Bank is a private bank owned by a dozen banking family cartels around the world including the Rothchild, Rockefeller and Morgan families? Here’s what the 9th circuit court said about the Federal Reserve Bank in Lewis v United States, June 24, 1982:
".. we conclude that the [Federal] Reserve Banks are not federal ... but are independent privately owned and locally controlled corporations... without day to day direction from the federal government." Lewis v United States, June 24, 1982
For more information on the Fed, you might consider ordering “The Money Masters” on DVD, or read Tupper Saucy’s miraculous “Miracle on Main Street” which you can order at Amazon.com.
What happened in 1913? Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act in the dead of night, giving this private bank the power to print our money at a cost of four cents per bill which it uses to buy Treasury securities. Lets say the Fed prints ten, one thousand dollar bills at a total cost of forty cents which it uses to purchase a ten thousand dollar Treasury bond. When the bond matures, the Fed returns the bond to the United States and the United States pays the Fed the ten thousand dollar face value. That’s right. The Fed collects ten thousand dollars on a forty cent investment - twenty-five thousand percent interest on a forty cent investment. Now multiply that by the billions of dollars in money the Fed prints every year. Those Treasury securities comprise the bulk of the nine trillion dollars in public debt you read about in the papers that the United States owes. Money conveniently owed to the banking cartels for the privilege of printing our money. That’s what happened in 1913.
Something else happened in 1913. Congress passed the income tax act of 1913 to pay the interest to the Fed for America becoming an instant debtor nation at the stroke of a pen. According to the grace commission report submitted to Ronald Regan in 1984:
“With two-thirds of everyone's personal income taxes wasted or not collected, 100 percent of what is collected is absorbed solely by interest on the Federal debt and by Federal Government contributions to transfer payments. In other words, all individual income tax revenues are gone before one nickel is spent on the services which taxpayers expect from their Government.” J. Peter Grace, Cover letter, Grace Commission Report, January 12, 1984
Let me read to you from a speech made to Congress by Congressman Louis McFadden, chairman of the House Banking and Currency committee in 1934 after FDR engineered a government confiscation of all private wealth using tactics similar to the strong-arming of the present Paulson bailout. McFadden brought formal charges against the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank system, the Comptroller of the Currency and the Secretary of Treasury for conspiracy, fraud, conversion and treason:
"Mr. Chairman, 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. The Fed has cheated the Government of these United States and the people of the United States out of enough money to pay the Nation's debt several times over.
"This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of these United States, has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the defects of the law under which it operates, through the maladministration of that law by the Fed and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it.
"Some people think that the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government institutions. They are private monopolies which prey upon the people of these United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; and rich and predatory money lenders. In that dark crew of financial pirates there are those who would cut a man's throat to get a dollar out of his pocket; there are those who send money into states to buy votes to control our legislatures; there are those who maintain International propaganda for the purpose of deceiving us into granting of new concessions which will permit them to cover up their past misdeeds and set again in motion their gigantic train of crime.
"These twelve private credit monopolies were deceitfully and disloyally foisted upon this Country by the bankers who came here from Europe and repaid us our hospitality by undermining our American institutions. Those bankers took money out of this Country to finance Japan in a war against Russia. They created a reign of terror in Russia with our money in order to help that war along. They instigated the separate peace between Germany and Russia, and thus drove a wedge between the allies in World War. They financed Trotsky's passage from New York to Russia so that he might assist in the destruction of the Russian Empire. They fomented and instigated the Russian Revolution, and placed a large fund of American dollars at Trotsky's disposal in one of their branch banks in Sweden so that through him Russian homes might be thoroughly broken up and Russian children flung far and wide from their natural protectors. They have since begun breaking up of American homes and the dispersal of American children. "Mr. Chairman, there should be no partisanship in matters concerning banking and currency affairs in this Country, and I do not speak with any.
Folks, the Federal Reserve Act was written in 1909 by a cartel headed by Senator Nathan Aldrich, grandfather to the wife of John D. Rockefeller the second. At that secret meeting, Aldrich gave the United States twenty years to pay its debts from the Civil and Revolutionary Wars, and appointed a receiver to oversee collection of the debt if the United States defaulted, which was inevitable in light of their ability to contrive limitless liability. The receiver for the debt was the Federal Reserve Bank, and the trustee of the receivership was the Secretary of the Treasury. So let’s not be surprised that twenty years later, all the gold was moved out of U.S. banks into the hands of the Fed, during the so-called Great Depression, giving a pretext to FDR, whose family by the way owned German bonds, to issue executive order 6102, ordering all privately held gold – your family’s gold other than jewelry and $100 – to be turned in to a Federal Reserve Bank branch near you in return for worthless pieces of paper backed by nothing. That’s when the house of cards began. FDR also ram-rodded through Congress the Emergency Banking Act under contrived “emergency” conditions similar to today’s “crisis,” without providing Congress with a copy of the bill, and permanently facilitating the takeover of all wealth in the united States by the Federal Reserve Bank. If I sound crazy, then why does your deed call you a tenant? Have you ever asked your attorney?
And now you know why Henry Paulson, Secretary of the Treasury, trustee for the bankruptcy, the man who is generally recognized as architect of mortgage derivatives when he was Chairman of Goldman Sachs – the only Wall Street brokerage house which was unmolested by the mortgage meltdown - shamelessly (which is how they always operate), outrageously demands seven hundred billion dollars for a so-called bailout. And where will that money come from? Paulson’s plan calls for Treasury to borrow the money by issuing Treasury bonds. And who is likely to buy them up? The Fed, with freshly printed money. The Treachery Secretary’s plan for your economic welfare calls for a transfer of an addition $700 billion dollars to the Fed. As in 1933, a crisis manufactured in whole by the Fed is being used to consolidate it’s wealth and subjugate the people into dependency through poverty.
Wake up America. It’s happening again. Right under your nose. You’re asleep at the wheel and your children are being left scraps on the table if they’re lucky to have a table. All last week, the pundits were asking: what’s the alternative? We have to do something! Ands…we…can. A single stroke of the pen on a one page “bill.” We can eliminate the so called credit crisis as if it never happened, restore the economy to vibrancy and legitimacy, restore permanent value to our money, return dignity and independence to the American people, and while we’re at it, return gas prices to the pre-1973 levels. One page. One stroke. The solution could not be more obvious to any who will take the time to look.
Number 1. Repeal the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. Return the printing and minting of money to the people. This one move will instantly wipe out nine trillion (or so) dollars in debt and provide immediate liquidity and solvency. America will return to being a creditor nation.
Number 2. Confiscate the assets of the Fed Reserve Bank, all of its gold, it’s buildings, fixtures, notes and fickle securities. The country will be instant restored to pre-eminence, flush in enough capital to replace our currency with currency backed by gold and silver. All the Feds security interests in the American people will be instantly satisfied The United States will hold no paper on its creators. Americans will become instant owners of their own homes, cars and businesses. All outstanding foreign debts will be satisfied. The assets of the banking cartels include most of the assets of the world at large. The only debts that will not be forgiven are the debts incurred by the Federal Reserve Bank and the World Bank to the people for having stolen their property for 107 years.
Number 3. Repeal the Income Tax Act of 1913 and IRS. This one step will end the tyranny, restore dignity to the American people, and immediately restore hundreds of dollars a week to most people’s paychecks. The need to have four, five and six jobs per family will end. We will have the time and assets to restore our families and enjoy their lives instead of working until we drop, shopping on Sunday, and hunting for bargains. The vast sums of money paid to accountants and attorneys will stay in our pockets. The vast amount of time spent in the deviant calculations of the tax code under the point of a gun will end. And perhaps America can once again be respected around the world.
Number 4. Forgive the members of the Federal Reserve Board, the complicit politicians, and the banking families for their inhumanity for their crimes against mankind. Instead, we will confiscate their mansions, their yachts, their holdings, assets and possessions after proper civil trials or pursuant to statute. We will rely on the will of the people to shame their treason publicly and turn them into pariahs around the world until they confess their sins and ask for forgiveness. In this way, we will bring rapid closure, testify to our high intentions, and remain true to the Word of the Creator.
Is the loss of a fraudulent stock market where value is established by speculative gambling and greed for the stock rather than the performance of the company, not a worthy price to instantly own your own home, car and business, be free of loan payments, restore your paycheck, and bring truth back to your economy? If the answer is yes, then we should circulate this message during this time of contrived crisis, using the awesome power of the internet as a bulwark against tyranny by governments and the bankers who control them.
Thank you for reading.

The sack of the United States by the Fed is the greatest crime in history. Every effort has been made by the Fed to conceal its powers, but the truth is the Fed has usurped the government. It controls everything here and it controls all our foreign relations. It makes and breaks governments at will".
-Congressman Louis McFadden, Chairman, House Banking and Currency Committee, June 10, 1932
"This is a staggering thought. We are completely dependent on the commercial Banks. Someone has to borrow every dollar we have in circulation, cash or credit. If the Banks create ample synthetic money we are prosperous; if not, we starve. We are absolutely without a permanent money system. When one gets a complete grasp of the picture, the tragic absurdity of our hopeless position is almost incredible, but there it is. It is the most important subject intelligent persons can investigate and reflect upon. It is so important that our present civilization may collapse unless it becomes widely understood and the defects remedied very soon."
-Robert Hemphill, Credit manager of Federal Reserve Bank in Atlanta.
"Historically, the United States has been a hard money country. Only [since 1913] has the United States operated on a fiat money system. During this period, paper money has depreciated over 87%. During the preceding 140 year period, the hard currency of the United States had actually maintained its value. wholesale prices in 1913... were the same as in 1787".
-Kenneth Gerbino, former chairman of the American Economic Council
"About all a Federal Reserve note can legally do is wipe out one debt and replace it with itself another debt, a note that promises nothing. If anything's been paid, the payment occurs only in the minds of the parties...".
- Tupper Saucy, author of" The Miracle On Main Street"
"By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose".
- John Maynard Keynes, economist and author of "The Economic Consequences Of The Peace"
"Inflation has now been institutionalized at a fairly constant 5% per year. This has been determined to be the optimum level for generating the most revenue without causing public alarm. A 5% devaluation applies, not only to the money earned this year, but to all that is left over from previous years. At the end of the first year, a dollar is worth 95 cents. At the end of the second year, the 95 cents is reduced again by 5%, leaving its worth at 90 cents, and so on. By the time a person has worked 20 years, the government will have confiscated 64% of every dollar he saved over those years. By the time he has worked 45 years, the hidden tax will be 90%. The government will take virtually everything a person saves over a lifetime".
- G. Edward Griffin, historian and author of "The Creature From Jekyll Island"
"The real truth of the matter is, and you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the US. since the days of Andrew Jackson. History depicts Andrew Jackson as the last truly honorable and incorruptible American president".
- President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, November 23, 1933 in a letter to Colonel Edward Mandell House
"...our system of credit is concentrated... in the hands of a few men... a power so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that [we had] better not speak above [our] breath when [we] speak in condemnation of it ... We have come to be ... completely controlled... by ... small groups of dominant men".
-President Woodrow Wilson
"The Founding Fathers of this great land had no difficulty whatsoever understanding the agenda of bankers, and they frequently referred to them and their kind as, quote, 'friends of paper money. They hated the Bank of England, in particular, and felt that even were we successful in winning our independence from England and King George, we could never truly be a nation of freemen, unless we had an honest money system. Through ignorance, but moreover, because of apathy, a small, but wealthy, clique of power brokers have robbed us of our Rights and Liberties, and we are being raped of our wealth. We are paying the price for the near-comatose levels of complacency by our parents, and only God knows what might become of our children, should we not work diligently to shake this country from its slumber! Many a nation has lost its freedom at the end of a gun barrel, but here in America, we just decided to hand it over voluntarily. Worse yet, we paid for the tyranny and usurpation out of our own pockets with "voluntary" tax contributions and the use of a debt-laden fiat currency!".
-Peter Kershaw, author of the 1994 booklet "Economic Solutions"
Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the U.S., in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, 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."
Woodrow Wilson - In his book entitled The New Freedom (1913)
"The fact is that there is a serious danger of this country becoming a pluto-democracy; that is, a sham republic with the real government in the hands of a small clique of enormously wealthy men, who speak through their money, and whose influence, even today, radiates to every corner of the United States."
William McAdoo - President Wilson's national campaign vice-chairman, wrote in Crowded years (1974)
"The powers or financial capitalism had (a) far-reaching aim, nothing less than 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 systems 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 level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."
Prof. Carroll Quigley in his book Tragedy and Hope
"In a small Swiss city sits an international organization so obscure and secretive....Control of the institution, the Bank for International Settlements, lies with some of the world's most powerful and least visible men: the heads of 32 central banks, officials able to shift billions of dollars and alter the course of economies at the stroke of a pen."
Keith Bradsher of the New York Times, August 5, 1995
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of Bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits."
Sir Josiah Stamp - President of the Bank of England in the 1920's, and the second richest man in Britain.
"The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is eager to enter into close relationship with the Bank for International Settlements....The conclusion is impossible to escape that the State and Treasury Departments are willing to pool the banking system of Europe and America, setting up a world financial power independent of and above the Government of the United States....The United States under present conditions will be transformed from the most active of manufacturing nations into a consuming and importing nation with a balance of trade against it."
Rep. Louis McFadden - (Chairman of the House Committee on Banking and Currency) quoted in the New York Times (June 1930)
"(The Great Depression resulting from the Stock Market crash) was not accidental. It was a carefully contrived occurrence....The international bankers sought to bring about a condition of despair here so they might emerge as rulers of us all."
Rep. McFadden testified in Congress (1933). There were at least two attempts on his life by gunfire. He died of suspected poisoning after attending a banquet.
"The Federal Reserve (Banks) are one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever seen. There is not a man within the sound of my voice who does not know that this Nation is run by the International Bankers."
Rep. Louis McFadden
"Nothing did more to spur the boom in stocks than the decision made by the New York Federal Reserve bank, in the spring of 1927, to cut the rediscount rate. Benjamin Strong, Governor of the bank, was chief advocate of this unwise measure, which was taken largely at the behest of Montagu Norman of the Bank of England....At the time of the Banks action I warned of its consequences....I felt that sooner or later the market had to break."
Money baron Bernard Baruch in Baruch: The Public Years (1960)
"Thus corporations finally claimed the full rights enjoyed by individual citizens while being exempted from many of the responsibilities and liabilities of citizenship. Furthermore, in being guaranteed the same right to free speech as individual citizens, they achieved, in the words of Paul Hawken, 'precisely what the Bill of Rights was intended to prevent: domination of public thought and discourse.' The subsequent claim by corporations that they have the same right as any individual to influence the government in their own interest pits the individual citizen against the vast financial and communications resources of the corporation and mocks the constitutional intent that all citizens have an equal voice in the political debates surrounding important issues."
David C. Korten, in his book, When Corporations Rule the World
"Give me control over a man's economic actions, and hence over his means of survival, and except for a few occasional heroes, I'll promise to deliver to you men who think and write and behave as I want them to."
Benjamine A. Rooge
" The Federal Reserve Bank is nothing but a banking fraud and an unlawful crime against civilization. Why? Because they "create" the money made out of nothing, and our Uncle Sap Government issues their "Federal Reserve Notes" and stamps our Government approval with NO obligation whatever from these Federal Reserve Banks, Individual Banks or National Banks, etc.
H.L. Birum, Sr. American Mercury, August 1957, p. 43
"I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground that "all powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are preserved to the states or to the people.
" ... To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition. The incorporation of a bank, and the powers assumed by this bill (chartering the first Bank of the United States), have not, been delegated to the United States by the Constitution."
Thomas Jefferson - in opposition to the chartering of the first Bank of the United States (1791).
"This is a staggering thought. We are completely dependent on the commercial Banks. Someone has to borrow every dollar we have in circulation, cash or credit. If the Banks create ample synthetic money we are prosperous; if not, we starve. We are absolutely without a permanent money system.

Do you have a reliable source that show something different?
How about the,Securitized Housing Investment Trust(SHIT).
The US financial system is accelerating in its breakdown, even as it broadens. The pace quickens with each passing week, with new breakdowns revealed no longer in slow motions. The reflection in the USDollar exchange rate has not yet been realized, but it is soon coming. Never have so many ill-informed people commented on such important decisions and legislation. Never has so much criminal fraud been covered up. Never has so much deception been told, to protect the Ruling Elite and to fleece the public. We approach a climax.
well, jug beans, look like they gonna get yo a new job afta all...

Note to Kurt:
Get over yourself.
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that we've been so credulous" -Carl Sagan
