“We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence; on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of election, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrilla’s by night instead of armies by day…I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American People.”
President John F. Kennedy
“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.”
9th District Court decision—Lewis vs. United States, 680 F 2nd 1239 (1982)
“The few who understand the system, will either be so interested from its profits or so dependent on its favors, that there will be no opposition from that class. While on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantages…will bear its burden without complaint, and perhaps without suspecting that the system is inimical to their best interests.”
Rothschild Brothers of London, June 25, 1863
“This present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be built will not be open for too long. We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.”
David Rockefeller, Sept. 1994
“Give me control over a nation’s money and I care not who makes its laws.”
Mayer Amschel Rothschild (Nathan Mayer Rothschild’s father)
“Well, first of all, the Federal Reserve is an independent agency and that means basically that there is no other agency of government that can overrule actions that we take.”
Alan Greenspan, Ph. D. (1926-Present) in economics (former chairman of the Federal Reserve System and director of the Council on Foreign Relations)
“Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are U.S. government institutions. They are private credit monopolies; domestic swindlers, rich and predatory money lenders which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers. The Federal Reserve Banks are the agents of the foreign central banks. The truth is the Federal Reserve Board has usurped the Government of the United States by the arrogant credit monopoly which operates the Reserve Board.”
Rep. Louis T. McFadden, addressed the House on June 10, 1932—75 Congressional Record 12595-12603
"To put it in a terminology that harkens back to the more brutal age of ancient empires, the three grand imperatives of imperial geo-strategy are to prevent collusion and maintain security dependence amont the vassals [we the people], to keep tributaries pliant and protected, and to keep the barbarians [all of us] from coming together [against them]."
Zbigniew Brzezinski, CFR member and former National Security Advisor
"The inability of the Colonists to get power to issue their money permanently out of the hands of George III [King of England] and the international bankers [Bank of England] was the prime reason for the Revolutionary War.”
Benjamin Franklin
“It is well that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.”
Henry Ford (American industrialist 1863-1947)
“The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.”
Benjamin Disraeli (1st Prime Minister of England), in a novel he published in 1844 entitled, Coningsby or The New Generation
"I have unwittingly ruined my country.”
Acknowledged upon the passage of the Federal Reserve Act, by President Woodrow Wilson, in 1913
“Conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure—one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”
David Rockefeller
“I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the empire on which the sun never sets. The man who controls Britain’s money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply.”
Nathan Mayer Rothschild, 1815
“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 (4th President of the United States)
“The Rockefeller File is not fiction. It is compact, powerful and frightening…The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining super-capitalism and communism under the same tent, all under their control… Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent.”
Rep. Larry P. McDonald, 1975
“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the auto determination practiced in past centuries.”
David Rockefeller (founder of the Trilateral Commission) address to a meeting of the Trilateral Commission, in June 1991
"100% of what is collected is absorbed solely by interest on the federal debt…All individual income tax revenues are gone before one nickel is spent on the services taxpayer’s expect from government.”
Grace Commission Report, submitted to President Ronald Reagan (40th President of the United States), January 15, 1984
“If a nation can issue a dollar bond it can issue a dollar bill. The element that makes the bond good makes the bill good also. The difference between the bond and the bill is that the bond lets the money broker collect twice the amount of the bond and an additional 20%. Whereas the currency, the honest sort provided by the Constitution, pays nobody but those who contribute in some useful way. It is absurd to say our country can issue bonds and cannot issue currency.
"Interest is the invention of Satan.”Thomas Edison New York Times, December 6, 1921
“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.”
9th District Court decision—Lewis vs. United States, 680 F 2nd 1239 (1982)
“When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes…Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency—their sole object is to gain.”
Napoleon Bonaparte, 1815
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through...all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."
Marcus Tullius Cicero (poet, philosopher, rhetorician and humorist, 106 BC-43 BC)
“Every effort has been made by the Fed to conceal its power, 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.”
Rep. Louis T. McFadden, 1933 (chairman of Banking and Currency Committee for 22 years)
“The real truth of the matter is, as you know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the United States since the days of [President] Andrew Jackson [one century].”
Franklin Roosevelt in 1933
“By this means, government may secretly and unobserved, confiscate the wealth of the people and not one man in a million will detect the theft.”
John Maynard Keynes (economist 1883-1946)
“The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst. It rejects even the assumption that human creatures could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy all that is good and decent.”
J. Edgar Hoover (1st director of FBI) as quoted in the Elks Magazine August 1956
“We have, in this country, one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board. This evil institution has impoverished the people of the United States and has practically bankrupted our government. It has done this through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it.”
Rep. Louis T. McFadden, 1932, chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee for 22 years
“A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the world… no longer a government by conviction and a vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men.”
President Woodrow Wilson
“The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. It denounces as public enemies’ all to who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe.”
President Abraham Lincoln (16th President of the United States)
"For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero (poet, philosopher, rhetorician and humorist, 106 BC-43 BC)
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised-up a moneyed aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power [of money] should be taken away from the banks and returned to the people to whom it belongs,”
Thomas Jefferson (3rd President of the United States)
“The accounts of the Federal Reserve System have never been audited. It operates outside the control of the Congress and manipulates the credit of the United States.”
Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona (1909-1998)
“This [Federal Reserve Act] establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President [Wilson] signs this bill, the invisible government of the monetary power will be legalized… the worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking and currency act.”
Rep. Charles A. Lindbergh Sr., 1913
