Bank / Money Quotes
"The international bankers
swept statesmen, politicians, journalists and jurists all to one side

Lloyd
George, Former British Prime Minster
"Give
me the right to issue and control a nation’s money and I care
not who governs the country.” Meyer
Amschal Rothschild, International banker

that create and issue the money and credit, direct the policies of
government and hold in their hands the destiny of the people."
Richard McKenna, former president of the Midlands Bank of

Drummond Fraser, vice president of The Institute of Bankers, England
"Powerful
individuals and forces are making enormous fortunes out of the ruin
of Australia." B. A. Santamaria
"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. 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 Federal Reserve Board.”
Congressman Louis T. McFadden, Chairman of the House Banking and Currency
Committee, addressed the House on June 10, 1932. 75 Congressional
Record 12595-12603
"The
Federal Reserve banks are privately owned, locally controlled, separate
corporations." Who says so? In Lewis v. United States,
the Ninth Circuit Court says so. (June 24, 1982)
“...bank
records are not the depositor’s private papers and having given
the information to the bank, the depositor has no legitimate expectation
of continued privacy...” United
States Supreme Court in U.S. v. Miller
“...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 taxpayers
expect from government.”
1984 Grace Commission report submitted to President Ronald Regan
"All
the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise, not from
the defects of the Constitution or confederation, not from want of
honour or virtue, so much as from the downright ignorance of the nation,
of coin, credit and circulation." John Adams 2nd President
of the USA
"The
money power preys upon the nation in times of peace and conspires
against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy,
more insolent than the aristocracy, more selfish than the bureaucracy.
It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw
light upon its crimes." Abraham Lincoln 16th president
of the USA
“If
all bank loans were paid...there would not be a dollar of coin or
currency in circulation. Someone has to borrow every dollar we have
in circulation. We are absolutely without a permanent money system.”
Robert Hemphill, Federal Reserve
Bank in Atlanta, in foreword to “100% Money”
by Irving Fisher
“Democracy
is a form of government that cannot long survive, for as soon as the
people learn that they have a voice in the fiscal policies of the
government, they will move to vote for themselves all the money in
the treasury, and bankrupt the nation.” Karl
Marx, 1848 author of “The Communist Manifesto”
“Capital
must protect itself in every possible way, both by combination and
legislation. Debts must be collected, mortgages foreclosed as rapidly
as possible. When through the process of law the common people lose
their homes, they will become more docile and more easily governed
through the strong arm of government applied by a central power of
wealth under leading financiers. These truths are well known among
our principal men who are now engaged in forming an imperialism to
govern the world. By dividing the voter through the political party
system we can get them to expend their energies in fighting for questions
of no importance. It is thus by discreet action we can secure for
ourselves that which has been so well planned and so successfully
accomplished." - 1924 US
Banker’s Association Magazine
"When
Rothschild said, "Let me issue and control a nation’s money
and I care not who writes its laws", it was the beginning of
the modern era’s financial, political, social, commercial, and
military strife and subversion." -

"The
financial system has been turned over to the Federal Reserve Board.
That board administers a finance system by authority of a purely profiteering
group. That system is private, conducted for the sole purpose of obtaining
the greatest possible profits from the use of other people’s
money.
This (Federal Reserve) Act establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the president signs this bill, the invisible government by the monetary power will be legalized. The people may not know it immediately but the day of reckoning is only a few years removed, the worst legislative crime of the ages perpetrated by this banking bill." - Charles A. Lindbergh, R-MN
"We
have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world
has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board. This 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 money vultures who control it. A superstate controlled by international
bankers and international industrialists acting together to enslave
the world for their own pleasure." -
Louis McFadden, D-PA
"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." -
Barry Goldwater, R-AZ
“The
whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace in a continual
state of alarm (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing
them with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
- H. L. Mencken
"I
have unwittingly ruined my country." -
W. Wilson, upon passage of Federal Reserve Act, 1913
"If
one understands that Socialism is not a “share the wealth”
program but is in reality a method to consolidate and control the
wealth, then the seeming paradox of super rich men promoting Socialism
becomes no paradox at all. Instead it becomes logical, even the perfect
tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs. Communism, or more accurately
Socialism, is not a movement of the down-trodden masses but of the
economic elite." - Gary
Allen
"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 the money and its issuance." -
James Madison
"It
(the Great Depression) was not accidental; it was a carefully contrived
occurrence. The international Bankers sought to bring about a condition
of despair here so that they might emerge as rulers of us all."
- Louis McFadden
“It
is well enough that the people of this 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
"You have to choose between trusting to the natural stability of gold and the natural stability of the honesty and intelligence of the members of the government. And, with due respect to these gentlemen, I advise you to vote for gold." George Bernard Shaw
