“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

Many Scholars and common people today wonder what Henry Ford meant by this quote from many years ago. What was he worried about? Watch commercials and you will see that with a bank behind you all your dreams come true. You can get one of their credit cards to take that cruise to the Carribean, and a mortgage to by your dream home (even an ARM that will allow you to only pay the interest for a couple years), you can also allow the bank to “Keep the Change” and put it in your savings account if your with Bank of America. So what could possibly be the problem with the banks and banking system?

The answer is easy, EVERYTHING!

The system is great as long as you are employed and making your payments like the good American citizen you are. Get laid off or fired and the whole scenario changes. Oh you missed a payment to your credit card so the bank, being the good citizen they are, raises your interest rate by 10-20% insuring that you are in worse trouble than when you started. Don’t be afraid though, you have your house which maybe you sell to allow you downsize and not go into bankruptcy. Oh, but unfortunately you bought your house at the peak of the housing boom plus you have only been paying the interest, and now two years later it is worth less than you paid for it.

The bank in all it’s kindness offers to give you a second mortgage, which I am sure will help out. They are willing to consolidate all those pesky high interest credit cards this will give you some extra cash and only one monthly payment while you are trying to find a job that pays even remotely what you used to make.

As time goes on however you realize that even with the new loan and credit cards all consolidated, it still isn’t enough to survive. Now you are late on your mortgage payments too and not only are you now not a good citizen, you are a lowlife who can’t pay their bills. Again you look at selling your home, but the market has sunk even further, and with your second mortgage and credit cards all included you are beyond upside down. Your are 4000 fathoms on the bottom.

The decent will continue until the banks and creditors have sucked you dry, and if you are really lucky, then the IRS may try to take a swipe at you on the way down. It’s the way they roll.

How did we ever get into this situation? When did we sell our freedom, our liberties and our souls to the Federal Reserve and the Federal government? This is not the way the founder intended for us to live. They did not want us to be a nation where a private entity runs the financial dealings of the country.

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.”

Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President.

Our founding father fought hard to get away from corrupt systems of government and warned us numerous times what is and what is not right. What did we do? Trust the Feds to educate our children. They have watered down the real American history so badly that in most peoples eyes the founders were just a bunch of rich, lazy, religious, slave owning white guys. When you read about who they really were you find out they were wanted men to be killed on site, rebels who gave up families and money to follow a dream, warriors who commanded rag-tag armies against the much more skilled and powerful British. They were true revolutionaries, freedom fighters and insurgents. By the British many were considered terrorist.

They never intended for our nation to fall into the hands of a few greedy men who now run the show. You would think it was the mafia the way it is run. The IRS runs the protection racket, while the other branches of government are so far in the Federal Reserves pockets it would impossible for them to ever get out.

“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 it’s issuance”.

James Madison

The bankers tried many times in vain to gain control of the government, but time and time again they were thwarted. Finally in 1913 they helped Woodrow Wilson get elected and for his payment he approved the Federal Reserve Act. There is a quote which circulates around the internet where he expresses his profound regret for approving the act. I cannot find any reliable citing of that quote, but the one I could find that is citable in essence says the same thing:

We are at the parting of the ways. We have, not one or two or three, but many, established and formidable monopolies in the United States. We have, not one or two, but many, fields of endeavor into which it is difficult, if not impossible, for the independent man to enter. We have restricted credit, we have restricted opportunity, we have controlled development, and we have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated, governments in the civilized world — no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men.

Woodrow Wilson

He also said:

The government, which was designed for the people, has got into the hands of the bosses and their employers, the special interests. An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of democracy.

Woodrow Wilson

Since the Fed Reserve has been the sole money maker and financier of the Federal government; waste, fraud and abuse have been at an all time high and the buying power of the dollar did not continue to climb as it should have. We are led to believe this is just the way it is supposed to be, but it isn’t.

The MSM are in on it too. They know that something is amiss, but will never investigate. They want us to believe that political parties, Iraq, Bush, Clinton, war, poverty, global warming, ad nausea are what is really important. For that they are allowed a free rein to behave however they choose.

One great example is the economy and the stock market. We are led to believe that the stock market and the economy are somehow the same, yet they aren’t. My Problems of American Democracy teacher used to point this out all the time. The stock market is how businesses are performing, the economy is how we the people are performing. They are intertwined, but not the same. Corporations can always doctor their bottom line to make it look like they are fine, but that doesn’t help you and me much.

It is time for Americans to learn more about the Federal Reserve and the scam against America. I will be updating thin gs regularly.

“I have never seen more Senators express discontent with their jobs….I think the major cause is that, deep down in our hearts, we have been accomplices in doing something terrible and unforgtoiveable our wonderful country. Deep down in our heart, we know that we have given our children a legacy of bankruptcy. We have defrauded our country to get ourselves elected.” —

John Danforth (R-MO)
