It was the spring of 1982 when I first leaned about the Federal Reserve and the Banking system. All of the following quotes, except those from Ron Paul, were a foundation for many of the "patriots" at that time, and obviously before that.

I believe it will now be forced upon every individual, regardless of political party, to take a closer look at the situation that is now at hand.

The only chance that people are going to have is to realize the truth of the matter, get educated and take Action. You can start right here.........

"The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented." -Major L.B.Angus

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue 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." -President Thomas Jefferson

"The youth who can solve the money question will do more for the world than all the professional soldiers of history."- Henry Ford Sr.

"All the perplexities, confusion and distress (Ed. note - crime, poverty, substance abuse, family disintegration, government immorality and dishonesty, etc.) in America arise, not from defects in the Constitution or confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation." This is because nearly every part of our lives revolves around money in some way. If we clear up the money problem, all sorts of seemingly unrelated problems will simply vanish! -President John Adams

"Posterity -- you will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it." -John Quincy Adams

"None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe that they are free" -Johann von Goethe

"It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere." -Voltaire

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies." -Thomas Jefferson

"Give me control over a nation's currency and I care not who make its laws." -Baron M.A. Rothschild (1744-1812)

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." - Benjamin Franklin

What do you expect from your government?

It appears from a certain view that most people want their government to guarantee that they get food, water, housing, low gas prices and a job, even if they only get to keep about half the value of their labor. They expect the government to pay for a war that most of them are now against and they want the government to protect them form foreign invasion.

I really like Ron Paul because he is setting forth the above question to the American people...and then he answers it for them, correctly. We expect our government to provide honest money or let the people provide their own honest money. We also expect our government and their agents to follow the constitution. That's about it.

It was the summer of 1982 that I began preparing, although unknowingly, for this day. What happened today and what happened to me in 1982 was and is, simply terror-ism by unconstitutional agencies. The FBI and all the other 'three-letter-boys' are not among our national government and their actions are terrorism against the people.

In 1982, my parents and I gave proper legal notice to the corporate state of California and all federal agencies, (who take orders from the attorney general, not the president) that we were no longer proceeding in the corporate structure, and the agencies very soon began to attack us and take all my parents property and take more than half my dad's federal pension until he passed away in 2001.

“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”. - Congressman Louis T. McFadden, 1933, Chairman, Banking and Currency Committee

“The bold effort the present bank had made to control government (Second National Bank of the U.S.), the distress it has 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.” - President Andrew Jackson
