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.........

"I do not believe there are more than a very limited number of persons, perhaps a hundred who really know what is in the Constitution of the United States." -- Dr. John J. Tigert, United States Commissioner of Education, October, 1924.

"Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws." - Mayer Anselm Rothschild of the Rothschild banking family.

"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

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the Government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs." - President Thomas Jefferson.

"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

"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 Pres. of the Bank of England (1920's). 2nd richest man in England.

"If all the bank loans were paid up, no one would have a bank deposit, and there would not be a dollar of currency or coin in circulation. This is a staggering thought. We are completely dependent on the commercial banks for our money. 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 with-out a permanent monetary system. When one gets a complete grasp upon the picture, the tragic absurdity of our hopeless position is almost incredible - but there it is. It (the bank-ing problem) is the most important subject intelligent per-sons can investigate and reflect upon. It is so important that our present civilization may collapse unless it is widely understood and the defects remedied very soon." - Robert H. Hemphill, Credit Manager of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta

"I had never thought the Federal Reserve Bank System would prove such a failure. The country is in a state of irretrievable bankruptcy." - Senator Carter Glass, June 7, 1938

As President John Adams said, "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!

"The Federal Reserve (privately owned banks) are one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever seen." - Senator Louis T. McFadden (for 22 years Chairman of the U.S. Banking and currency Commission)

"The few who understand the system, will either be so interested in
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 the people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous
advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens
without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system
is inimical to their interests."
-- John Sherman - Protege of the Rothschild banking family

"The public also plays a role in the erosion of our judiciary. Since many citizens lack basic knowledge of our Constitution and federalist system, they are easily manipulated by media and academic elite who tell them that judges are the absolute and final arbiters of US law. But the Supreme Court is not supreme over the other branches of government; it is supreme only over lower federal courts. If Americans wish to be free of judicial tyranny, they must at least develop basic knowledge of the judicial role in our republican government. The present state of affairs is a direct result of our collective ignorance." -Ron Paul

"Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it's realized that our liberties and wealth are in jeopardy." -Ron Paul 7/10/03

"The Tenth Amendment is the foundation of the Constitution." -- Thomas Jefferson

"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
