Full Version: Money And Banking
Topic Introduction
Sir Josiah Stamp, one of the richest men in England at the first part of the 20th century and the Governor of the Bank of England begining in 1928, said this about the industry he presided over:
"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 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 slaves of Bankers, and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits."
This topic is an historical overview of the subject of Money and Banks. In it you will find information about the 130 odd year American struggle to keep foreign bankers out of the U.S., a struggle which America lost in 1913 when the Federal Reserve was created.

QUOTE
Other state chartered banks were created in the meantime, including the Bank of Massachusetts and the Bank of New York. The latter was organized by members of the then leading Federalist party in New York, including Alexander Hamilton and his father-in-law Philip Schuyler. Isaac Roosevelt, a wealthy sugar refiner and ancestor of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was president of this bank.

Two great presidents of the United States Assassinated for the cause of justice

Why assassinate a President? ... During the Civil War (1861-1865), President Lincoln needed money to finance the War from the North. The Bankers were going to charge him 24% to 36% interest. Lincoln was horrified and went away greatly distressed, for he was a man of principle and would not think of plunging his beloved country into a debt that the country would find impossible to pay back.
Eventually President Lincoln was advised to get Congress to pass a law authorizing the printing of full legal tender Treasury notes to pay for the War effort...
