1 JEWISH BANKSTER'S WAR ON AMERICAN AND THE WORLD This is the first part of a two-part article. The second part deals with the communizing wing and is found here: "The establishment of a central bank is 90% of communizing a nation." Lenin "Let me issue and control a Nation's money and I care not for who writes its laws." Mayer Amschel Rothschild, 1790 "The Rothschilds introduced the rule of money into European politics. The Rothschilds were the servants of money who undertook the reconstruction of the world as an image of money and its functions. Money and the employment of wealth have become the law of European life; we no longer have nations, but economic provinces." [New York Times, Professor Wilhelm, a German historian, July 8, 1937]. "If you will look back at every war in Europe during the nineteenth century, you will see that they always ended with the establishment of a 'balance of power.' With every re-shuffling there was a balance of power in a new grouping around the House of Rothschild in England, France, or Austria. They grouped nations so that if any king got out of line, a war would break out and the war would be decided by which way the financing went. Researching the debt positions of the warring nations will usually indicate who was to be punished." Economist Stuart Crane. "They [the Jews] work more effectively against us than the enemy's armies. They are a hundred times more dangerous to our liberties and the great cause we are engaged in. It is much to be lamented that each state, long ago, has not hunted them down as pests to society and the greatest enemies we have to the happiness of America." Source: Maxims of George Washington by A. A. Appleton & Co. "I fully agree with General Washington, that we must protect this young nation from an insidious influence and impenetration. That menace, gentlemen, is the Jews. In whatever country Jews have settled in any great number, they have lowered its moral tone; depreciated its commercial integrity; have segregated themselves and have not been assimilated; have built up a state within a state; and when opposed have tried to strangle that country to death financially, as in the case of Spain and Portugal. "For over 1700 hundred years, the Jews have been bewailing their sad fate in that they have been exiled from their homeland, as they call Palestine. But, gentlemen, did the world give it to them in fee simple, they would at once find 1

2 some reason for not returning. Why? Because they are vampires, and vampires do not live on vampires. They cannot live only amongst themselves. They must subsist on other people not of their race. If you do not exclude them from these United States in the Constitution, in less than 200 years they will have swarmed here in such great numbers that they will dominate and devour the land, and change our form of government, for which we Americans have shed our blood, given our lives, our substance, and jeopardized our liberty." "If you do not exclude them, in less than 200 years our descendants will be working in the fields to furnish them substance, while they will be in the counting houses rubbing their hands. I warn you, gentlemen, if you do not exclude the Jews for all time, your children will curse you in your graves." Benjamin Franklin, at the Constitutional Convention of 1787 in Philadelphia. [Note, the Jews have been forever whining that these quotes are false, because they know in fact they are true, and are thus a great and damning condemnation of their crimes] "When, on the Day of Atonement, you walk into a synagogue, the very first prayer that you recite, you stand and it's the only prayer for which you stand and you repeat three times a short prayer. The Kol Nidre. In that prayer, you enter into an agreement with God Almighty that any oath, vow, or pledge that you may make during the next twelve months any oath, vow or pledge that you may take during the next twelve months shall be null and void. The oath shall not be an oath; the vow shall not be a vow; the pledge shall not be a pledge. They shall have no force and effect, and so forth and so on. And further than that, the Talmud teaches: "Don't forget whenever you take an oath, vow, and pledge remember the Kol Nidre prayer that you recited on the Day of Atonement, and that exempts you from fulfilling that". Benjamin Freedman The Kol Nidre prayer: Thereupon the cantor chants the Aramaic prayer beginning with the words "Kol Nidre," and, gradually increasing in volume from pianissimo to fortissimo, repeats three times the following words: "All vows, obligations, oaths, and anathemas, which we may vow, or swear, or pledge, or whereby we may be bound, from this Day of Atonement until the next [whose happy coming we await], we do repent. May they be deemed absolved, forgiven, annulled, and void, and made of no effect; they shall not bind us nor have power over us. The vows shall not be reckoned vows; the obligations shall not be obligatory; nor the oaths be oaths." Sounds like a people you can trust to tell you the truth? The silent war against America began in 1791 when the Rothschild agent and Jew, Alexander Hamilton in George Washington's cabinet was able to establish 2

3 the legal base for a central bank in America to be born- the "First Bank of the United States." With a 20-year charter in 1811, the charter for Rothschild's "First Bank of the United States" runs out and Congress voted against its renewal. In response to this, Nathan Mayer Rothschild threatened the America government with the direct statement "Either the application for renewal of the charter is granted or the United States will find itself involved in a most disastrous war." The American government refused to bow to the threat and the vote remained. Nathan Rothschild upon hearing the news made the statement "Teach those impudent Americans a lesson; bring them back to colonial status!" Therefore, Britain by this time being firmly under the control of Rothschilds and other Jewish banking families declared war on America. The war of 1812 began, lasting several years and killing thousands, leaving the American capital burned to the ground. The aim of this war for the Jews was to cause the Free Gentile Nation of America to create such a massive war debt in defending themselves, that they would be forced to cede, and renew the charter. The plan succeeded in The American government was forced by terrorist tactics of the Jews to create a new 20-year charter for the Rothschilds "Second Bank of America." In 1832, things began to change. Andrew Jackson ran for the second campaign for office on the promise: "Jackson and no Bank!" Jackson angry at the criminal nature of the Rothschilds' banking tactics desired to end their mafia like control on America's money system and put it back into the trust of the American people. Jackson did this by removing all government deposits from the "Second Bank of American" and depositing them into the Gentile owned American Banks. The Rothschilds then sent their agents out to contract the money supply, inciting a depression to hit the Nation, as way to pressure the government. Jackson openly declared them as the crooks they are and vowed to route them out. Not long after, on January , there was an assassination attempt on President Jackson. He was saved by the fact the assassins' pistols both misfired. Later Jackson stated that he knew the Rothschilds where responsible for the attempt. Jackson was not intimidated by the Jewish Banking mafia. He continued his long fight against the Rothschild's bank and in 1836 he won and had their bank cast out of the Nation when their charter is not renewed. "I am one of those who do not believe the national debt is a national blessing, but rather a curse to a republic, inasmuch as it is calculated to raise around the administration a moneyed aristocracy dangerous to the liberties of the country." Andrew Jackson, Letter to L. H. Coleman of Warrenton, N.C., 29 April 1824 Later in 1841, President Tyler vetoed the act to renew the charter for Rothschild's bank. In response, he was threatened with assassination from many "anonymous" sources. 3

4 The Jews instigated the Civil War in America. President Lincoln appealed to large New York based banks for loans for the war [Rothschild and the Jewish Banking mafia, being behind many of and having control over those banks] the criminal deal they make him is 24% to 36% on all monies loaned. This was another tactic used to regain control over the American people through debt. Lincoln angry and aware simply printed his own debt free money instead, outwitting the Jews. Lincoln stated this fact, "We gave the people of this republic the greatest blessing they ever had, their own paper money to pay their own debts." In 1863, Lincoln discovered the Tsar of Russia, Alexander the II, was having identical problems with the Jewish banks, mainly the Rothschilds, and was also resisting their attempts to create a Central bank in Russia. The Tsar then came to the aid of Lincoln by ordering that if England and/or France [both under the domination of Rothschild/Jewish banking families] actively came to the aid of the South, he would consider this an act of open war, and take up arms on the side of President Lincoln. The Tsar then ordered a major part of his Pacific fleet to San Francisco and New York. In 1865, President Lincoln stated, "I have two great enemies; the Southern Army in front of me, and the financial institutions in the rear. Of the two, the one in the rear is my greatest foe." That same year on April 14, Lincoln was assassinated by Jew John Wilkes Booth. "John Booth was a Jewish silversmith whose ancestors had been exiled from Portugal because of their radical political views. In London, the refugees had continued their trade and convictions, and John married Wilkes' cousin. This Wilkes was the 'celebrated agitator' John Wilkes of Westminster, London. John Wilkes Booth's father was Junius Brutus Booth." [The Mad Booths of Maryland] In the book, "The Secret World Government or the Hidden Hand," Major General Count Cherep Spiridovich revealed how the Jewish bankers incited the Civil War, and why they opposed Lincoln: "ROTHSCHILDS' ORDER TO AMERICAN BANKERS." "To pay the soldiers the Government issued its Treasury notes, authorized by act of Congress, July 17, 1861, "for $50,000,000, bearing no interest. These notes circulated at par with gold. The Rothschilds' agents inspired the American banks to offer to Lincoln a loan of $150 million. But before they had taken much of the loan, the banks broke down and suspended specie payments in Dec They wished to blackmail Lincoln and demanded the "shaving" of government paper to the extent of 33%, an extortion which was refused. A bill drafted for the Government issue of $150 million^ which should be full legal tender for every debt in the United States, passed the House of Representatives Feb. 25, 1862, and was hailed with delight by the entire country.' But the Wall Street bankers were furious." 4

5 Sen. Pettigrew reprints the so called "Hazzard Circular" sent in 1862 by the Bank of England [ruled by the Rothschilds]: "Slavery is likely to be abolished by the war power and chattel slavery destroyed. This I [Rothschild] and my European friends (the 300 men) are glad of, for slavery is but the owning of labor and carries with it the care of the laborer, while the European [read 'Rothschildian'] plan led on by England [i.e. the Rothschilds] is for capital to control labor by controlling wages. THIS CAN BE DONE BY. CONTROLLING THE MONEY. THE GREAT DEBT THAT CAPITALISTS "WILL SEE TO IS MADE OUT OF THE "WAR must be used as a means to control the volume of money. To accomplish this the BONDS must be used as a banking basis. "We are now waiting for the Secretary of the Treasury to make his recommendation to Congress. It will not do to ALLOW the GREENBACK, as it is called, to circulate as money any length of time, as we cannot control that." Thus the order of the Rothschilds was clear: "Capitalists "WILL SEE TO IT that a DEBT is MADE out of the war." The result was that by "hook and crook" the Rothschilds enslaved this country. And Schiffs,, Baruchs & Co. are the rulers. The Chairman of the Committee on "Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, Mr Thaddeus Stevens explains how the United States was captured by the Rothschilds: "The agents of the banks fell upon the bill in haste and disfigured it." In the Senate, this amendment was tacked upon the bill: "Good for all debts and dues of the U. S. EXCEPT DUTIES ON IMPORTS AND INTEREST on the PUBLIC DEBT," ($150 million above mentioned, plus $70 million, a pre-war debt). Thus equipped this bill went forth to rob every American and turn the ownership of this nation into the hands of capitalists." (Mrs. Hobart). "When the bill came back to the House, Mr. Stevens said: "We are about to consummate a cunningly devised scheme which will bring GREAT LOSS to all classes of people, except one" (the Rothschilds' branch of the Wall Street). The bill was passed. ROTHSCHILDS OVERPOWERED CONGRESS (1862) The Rothschilds were in possession of 80% of the gold in the country. They had a "corner" on gold. By securing this discrimination against the "greenback" by means of the "Exception clause," they made a market for their gold. "Importers were obliged to go to Wall Street to buy gold to pay duties on their goods, and the Wall Street gamblers held the power to fix the price. Gold went to a premium. Had the greenbacks been permitted to retain their full legal-tender quality, there would have been no need for gold to pay import duties. The price of gold rapidly rose and before the war closed, had reached the price of $2.85, measured in greenbacks. The gold bought in Wall Street to pay import duties became the revenues of the government and was by it paid back to Wall Street 5

6 as interest on the public debt. As fast as the bankers sold the gold, it was returned for interest on the public debt to be sold again. Thus during the entire war these gold gamblers speculated in gold, making fortunes from the blood and tears of the American people," (Mrs. M. E. Hobart in her "The Secret of Rothschilds, " p. 54). Two more issues of $150 million each, with the "Exception clause" were authorized in July 1862 and in March 1863, making in all $450,000,000. They bore no interest. When these issues were exhausted and necessity arose for additional money the bankers demanded that Treasury Notes should no longer be made in the form of DOLLARS, but in the form of BONDS: the bond draws interest, the dollar does not. A gigantic war costing seven billions was carried through without gold. Why? Because everything was supplied at home, and American money, the "greenbacks" were gladly accepted. "How then was it that this government, several years after the war was over, found itself owing in London and Wall Street several hundred million dollars to men who never fought a battle, who never made a uniform, never furnished a pound of bread, men, who never did an honest day's work in all their lives... The fact is, that billions owned by the sweat, tears and blood of American laborers have been poured into the coffers of these men for absolutely nothing. This 'sacred war debt' was only a gigantic scheme of fraud, concocted by European capitalists and enacted into American law by the aid of American congressmen, who were their paid hirelings or their ignorant dupes. That this crime has remained uncovered is due to the power of prejudice, which seldom permits the victim to see clearly or reason correctly: 'the Money power prolongs its reign by working on the prejudices' (Lincoln). Every means has been employed to deceive the masses. Ridicule and derision have been applied to all opposition, while flattery and appreciation were showered upon the officials," (Mary E. Hobart, p. 49). Bismarck knew the truth and revealed it in 1876 to a German, Conrad Siem, who published it in ['La Vieille France,' N-216, March 1921]. Bismarck said: 'The division of the United States into two federations of equal force was decided long before the Civil War by the High Financial Powers of Europe. These bankers were afraid that the United States, if they remained as one nation, would attain economical and financial independence, which would upset their financial domination of the World. The voice of the Rothschilds predominated. They foresaw tremendous booty if they could substitute two feeble democracies, indebted to the Jewish financiers, to the vigorous Republic, confident and selfproviding. Therefore, they incited their emissaries in exploiting the issue of slavery, thus digging an abyss between the two sides of the Republic. Lincoln never suspected these underground machinations. He was anti-slavery, and he was elected as such, but his character prevented him from being a man of one party. When he had affairs in his hands, he perceived that these sinister financiers of Europe, the Rothschilds, wished to make him the executor of their 6

7 designs. They made the fracture between the North and the South imminent! The masters of Finance in Europe made this rift definitive in order to exploit it to the utmost. Lincoln's personality surprised them. His candidature did not trouble them: they thought they could easily deceive the candidate woodcutter. However, Lincoln read their plots and soon understood that the South was not the worst foe, but the Jew financiers were. He did not confide his apprehensions; he watched the gestures of the hidden hand. He did not wish to expose publicly the questions that would disconcert the ignorant masses. He decided to eliminate the International bankers, by establishing a system of Loans, thus allowing the States to borrow directly from the people without an intermediary. He did not study financial questions, but his robust good sense revealed to him, that the source of any wealth resides in the work and the economy of the nation. He opposed emissions through the International financiers. He obtained from Congress the right to borrow from the people by selling to it the 'bonds' of States. The local banks were only too glad to help such a system, and the Government and the nation escaped the plots of the foreign financiers. They understood at once, that the United Stats could escape their grip. The death of Lincoln was resolved upon. Nothing is easier than to find a fanatic to strike.' 'The death of Lincoln was a disaster. There was no man in the United States great enough to wear his boots, and Jewish bankers went anew to grab the riches of the World. I fear that Jewish Banks with their craftiness and tortuous tricks will entirely control the exuberant riches of America, and use these to systematically corrupt modern civilization. The Jew will not hesitate to plunge the entire world into wars and chaos, in order that 'the earth should become the inheritance of Israel.'' Thus Bismarck, who knew the game of the Jews, spoke in 1876, [According to Bismarck (La Vieille France, N-216) it was Disraeli and his patrons, the Rothschilds, who invented the plan of destroying the United States by fomenting a Civil War here, and by a foreign attack in by five powers. Abraham Lincoln, the national hero of the United States, was murdered by the same Hidden Hand, which killed six Romanov Czars, ten Kings, and scores of Ministers only to make it easier to bleed their nations] Lincoln was re-inaugurated on March 4, 1865 and was shot on April 4, 1865 by actor Wilkes Booth, who cried, 'The South is revenged.' He was a Jew, but this has never been mentioned!" Major General Count Cherep-Spiridovich, The Secret World Government, Or, "The Hidden Hand": the Unrevealed in History: 100 Historical "Mysteries" Explained, The Anti-Bolshevist Publishing Association, New York, [1926], pp , , 183. [1] President Garfield stated in 1881, two weeks before he was also assassinated by Jew Charles J. Guiteau: "Whosoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce... And when you realize the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful 7

8 men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate." The next two Presidents to be murdered were also murdered by the Jews. William McKinley, the third American President to be assassinated, was murdered by a Jew named Leon Czolgosz. President Kennedy was also murdered by Jewry for the same reasons Congressman McFadden was, and President Jackson had two attempts upon his life. Then in 1913, the Federal Reserve central bank was established in America, under orders of Jewish puppet President Woodrow Wilson. This act literally handed the America economy over to a handful of powerful Jewish banking families, bringing about what President Garfield warned would happen. The main Jewish names behind creating this system of control were: The Rothschilds The Rockefellers The Morgans The Warburgs The placement for this was carried out by Morgan who used his position to publish lies that a powerful bank in New York was bankrupt, knowing it would cause mass panic and a chain reaction among the Gentile public causing them to withdraw their monies, and causing the banks to call in all loans, which forced the recipients of the loans to sell whatever they had from properties on. Thus, a depression was generated by the Jews. "Early in 1907, New York Times Annual Financial Review published Paul Warburg's (a partner of Kuhn, Loeb and Co.) first official reform plan, entitled "A Plan for a Modified Central Bank," in which he outlined remedies that he thought might avert panics. Early in 1907, Jacob Schiff, the chief executive officer of Kuhn, Loeb and Co., in a speech to the New York Chamber of Commerce, warned that "unless we have a central bank with adequate control of credit resources, this country is going to undergo the most severe and far reaching money panic in its history." "The Panic of 1907" hit full stride in October. [Herrick] The Panic of 1907 and Some of Its Lessons," Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, vol. 31 [Jan.-June 1908] "The Morgan interests took advantage to precipitate the panic of 1907, guiding it shrewdly as it progressed." --Fredrick Allen, Life Magazine The Panic led to a Congressional investigation, headed by Senator Nelson Aldrich and the Commission led by Aldrich recommended a Central Bank should be implemented so a panic like 1907 could never happen again. Note Aldrich later married into the Rockefeller family. 8

9 In 1910, a secret meeting was held at a J.P. Morgan estate on Jekyll Island off the coast of Georgia. It was there that the central banking bill called the Federal Reserve Act was written. This legislation was written by Jewish bankers, not lawmakers. After this bill was constructed, it was then handed over to their political front man, Senator Nelson Aldrich, to push through Congress. "Aldrich's investigation led to his plan in 1912 to bring central banking to the United States, with promises of financial stability, expanded international roles, control by impartial experts, and no political meddling in finance. Aldrich asserted that a central bank had to be, paradoxically, decentralized somehow, or it would be attacked by local politicians and bankers, as had the First and Second Banks of the United States. The Aldrich plan was introduced in 62nd and 63rd Congresses (1912 and 1913) but never gained much traction as the Democrats in 1912, won control of both the House and the Senate as well as the White House." In 1913, Woodrow Wilson, put up and backed by the Jewish bankers, was elected President upon the promise that in return for their financial support he would sign the Federal Reserve Act into law. At the time, the act was thwarted in Congress from passing. The Jews moved, two days before Christmas when most of the Congressmen were at home with their families, the Federal Reserve Act was voted in, and Wilson true to his treasonous word, in turn made it law. "The Aldrich Plan is the Wall Street Plan. It is a broad challenge to the Government by the champion of the Money Trust. It means another panic, if necessary, to intimidate the people. Aldrich, paid by the Government to represent the people, proposes a plan for the trusts instead. The Aldrich Plan was a forerunner to that which spawned the Federal Reserve." --Congressman Lindbergh When the Federal Reserve Act was passed, the people of these United States did not perceive that a world banking system was being set up here. A superstate controlled by [Jewish] international bankers and industrialists acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure. Every effort has been made by the Fed to conceal its powers but the truth is the Fed has usurped the government. (Congressman Louis McFadden, upon the passage of the Federal Reserve bill. The Unseen Hand, p. 182.) "This 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 is perpetrated by this banking bill." Congressman Lindbergh 9

10 "The Federal Reserve System virtually controls the nation's monetary system, yet it is accountable to no one. It has no budget; it is subject to no audit; and no Congressional Committee knows of, or can truly supervise, its operations." Professor Murray N. Rothbard, economist, and academic advisor of the Ludwig von Mises Institute. President Wilson also brought America into the First World War for the Jews, after being elected on the promise of keeping America out of the war. Another important reason the Jews wanted America involved in World War I, was now that the Jews were in control of the American money supply via the Fed Reserve, America's entry into the war would require the American government to take out massive war loans, indebting the nation to the Jewish banks much faster and at a substantial pace. Benjamin Freedman, the Jewish defector who was later murdered by the Mossad, stated: "At the outbreak of World War I, the Federal Reserve was better positioned than the Treasury to issue war bonds, and so became the primary retailer for war bonds under the direction of the Treasury. After the war, the Federal Reserve, led by Paul Warburg and New York Governor Bank President Benjamin Strong, convinced Congress to modify its powers, giving it the ability to both create money, as the 1913 Act intended, and destroy money, as a central bank could." Mr. Freedman, born in 1890, was a successful Jewish businessman of New York City who was at one time the principal owner of the Woodbury Soap Company. He broke with organized Jewry after the Judeo-Communist victory of 1945 Exerpt 1: "In 1916 in London the Zionists made a deal with the British War Cabinet to send your sons to war in Europe. Did you know it at that time? Not a person in the United States knew it. You weren't permitted to know it. Who knew it? President Wilson knew it. Colonel House knew it. Others knew it. Did I know it? I had a pretty good idea of what was going on: I was liaison to Henry Morgenthau, Sr., in the 1912 campaign when President Wilson was elected, and there was talk around the office there. I was 'confidential man' to [Jew] Henry Morgenthau, Sr., who was chairman of the Finance Committee, and I was liaison between him and Rollo Wells, the treasurer. So I sat in these meetings with President Wilson at the head of the table, and all the others, and I heard them drum into President Wilson's brain the graduated income tax and what has become the Federal Reserve, and also indoctrinate him with the Zionist movement. Justice Brandeis and President Wilson were just as close as the two fingers on this hand, and President Woodrow Wilson was just as incompetent when it came 10

11 to determining what was going on as a newborn baby. And that's how they got us into World War I, while we all slept." "The Zionists in London had sent cables to the United States, to Justice Brandeis, saying "Go to work on President Wilson. We're getting from England what we want. Now you go to work on President Wilson and get the United States into the war." That's how the United States got into the war. We had no more interest in it; we had no more right to be in it than we have to be on the moon tonight instead of in this room. There was absolutely no reason for World War I to be our war. We were railroaded into -- if I can be vulgar, we were suckered into -- that war merely so that the Zionists of the world could obtain Palestine. That is something that the people of the United States have never been told. They never knew why we went into World War I." World War I broke out in the summer of Within two years, Germany had won that war. Not a shot had been fired on German soil. Not an enemy soldier had crossed the border into Germany, and yet, Germany was offering England peace terms. While that was occurring, the Zionists in Germany, who represented the Zionists from Eastern Europe, went to the British War Cabinet, and they said "Look here, you can win this war yet. You don't have to give up. You don't have to accept the negotiated peace offered to you now by Germany. You can win this war if the United States will come in as your ally." They [Zionists] told England: "We will guarantee to bring the United States into the war as your ally, to fight with you on your side, if you will promise us Palestine after you win the war." In other words, they made this deal- "We will get the United States into this war as your ally. The price you must pay us is Palestine after you have won the war and defeated Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey." Now England had as much right to promise Palestine to anybody, as the United States would have to promise Japan to Ireland for any reason whatsoever. It's absolutely absurd that Great Britain [that never had any connection or any interest or any right in what is known as Palestine] should offer it as coin of the realm to pay the Zionists for bringing the United States into the war. However, they made that promise in October of Shortly thereafter, the United States, which was almost totally pro-german, [totally pro-german because the newspapers here were controlled by Jews, and the bankers were Jews, and all the media in this country was controlled by Jews]; they were pro- German because their people, the majority who came from Germany, wanted to see Germany defeat the Czar. 11

12 The Jews didn't like the Czar, and they didn't want Russia to win the war. Therefore, the German bankers [the German-Jews], Kuhn, Loeb, and the other big banking firms in the United States, refused to finance France or England. They stood aside and they said, "As long as France and England are tied up with Russia, not one cent!" However, they poured money into Germany; they fought with Germany against Russia, trying to defeat the Czarist regime. Now those same Jews, when they became aware of the possibility of obtaining Palestine, went to England and made this deal. At that time, everything changed, like a traffic light that changes from red to green. Where the newspapers had been pro-german, where they had been telling the people of the difficulties that Germany was having fighting Great Britain commercially and in other respects; all of a sudden the Germans were no good. They were villains. They were Huns. They were shooting Red Cross nurses. They were cutting off babies' hands, and they were no good. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Wilson declared war on Germany. The Zionists in London sent cables to the United States, to Justice Brandeis stating: "Go to work on President Wilson. We are getting what we want from England. Now you go to work, and work on President Wilson. Get the United States into the war." That's how the United States entered into the war. We had no interest in it; we had no more right to be in it than we have to be on the moon tonight instead of in this room." [3] "President Woodrow Wilson was the fairy godmother who provided Trotsky with a passport to return to Russia to "carry forward" the revolution. This American passport was accompanied by a Russian entry permit and a British transit visa. Jennings C. Wise, on Woodrow Wilson: Disciple of Revolution makes the pertinent comment, "Historians must never forget that Woodrow Wilson, despite the efforts of the British police, made it possible for Leon Trotsky to enter Russia with an American passport." --Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution" Sounds like a loyal American President, does he not? "Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture are afraid of somebody, they are afraid of something. They know there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." --Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom [1913], Doubleday "The present Federal Reserve System is a flagrant case of the Government s conferring special privileges upon bankers. The Government hands credit to the banks at virtually no cost, to be loaned out for their own private profit. Still worse, is the fact that it gives the bankers practically complete control of the amount of 12

13 money that will be in circulation. Not one dollar of these Federal Reserve notes gets into circulation without being borrowed into circulation and without someone paying interest to some bank to keep it circulating. Our present money system is a debt money system. Before a dollar can circulate, a debt must be created. Such a system assumes that you can borrow yourself out of debt." --Willis A. Overholser, A short review and analysis of the history of money in the United States, with an introduction to the current money problem [1936], p. 56 Once the Jews obtained control of the Federal Reserve, they moved quickly, increasing the money supply from 1914 to 1919, much of it in loans to smaller banks. In 1920, the Jews called in the majority of all loans, sparking an identical crisis to the one in 1907 [the Jews had lied to the public telling the Fed Act passage would prevent such problems-- Hegelian anyone?]. This move wiped out over 5,400 Gentile banks outside of the official grip of the Jewish bankers, and consolidated more power under the Jewish banking Families. "Under the Federal Reserve Act, panics are scientifically created, as the present panic is the first scientifically created one, and is worked out as we work out a mathematical equation."--congressman Lindbergh, regarding the crash of 1920 From 1921 to 1929, the Jewish Fed replayed this criminal robbery again, the new tool also used was the Margin loan, which allowed an investor to only have to put down 10% of a stock s worth, with a broker loaning the other 90%. Hence the "Roaring 20's" The catch the Jews put in was the Margin loan could be called in at any time and had to be paid within 24 hours of such "Margin call" The result of such a call is the selling of the stock brought with the loan in question. In 1929, the Jewish bankers such as Rockefeller and others withdrew from the market out the backdoor. On Oct 24, the Margin loans are called in mass waves. Everyone began selling their stocks all at once, with the encoring crash over 16,000 banks were wiped out alone. The Jews then swooped in and bought up the entire stock market at a penny cost, putting them in control of numerous corporations across the board, and the entire economic system in general. The Jews then purposely shrank the money supply, increasing the depression to the point it is remembered to this day as "The Great Depression." "It was a carefully contrived occurrence, International Bankers sought to bring conditions of despair so they might emerge as the rulers of us all. --Congressman Madden, on the truth of the Great Depression Congressman McFadden, a long term crusader against the Jewish bankers, declared his intention of pushing for an impeachment of the Fed. He had already survived several assassination attempts on his life, the last one was successful. "Now that this sterling American patriot has made, the passing [McFadden], it can be revealed that not long after his public utterance against the encroaching powers of Judah, it became known among his intimates that he had suffered two 13

14 attempts against his life. The first attack came in the form of two revolver shots fired at him from ambush as he was alighting from a cab in front of one of the Capital hotels. Fortunately both shots missed him, the bullets burying themselves in the structure of the cab." "He became violently ill after partaking of food at a political banquet at Washington. His life was only saved from what was subsequently announced as a poisoning by the presence of a physician friend at the banquet, who at once procured a stomach pump and subjected the Congressman to emergency treatment." /s/ Robert Edward Edmondson [Publicist-Economist] Two of Congressman McFadden s Speeches: in the second one, Financial Interests Should Not Dictate Foreign Policy of United States Government." Congressman McFadden came out openly regarding the Jews. May 23, 1933, Congressman, Louis T. McFadden, brought formal charges against the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Banking system, the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Secretary of United States Treasury for numerous criminal acts, including but not limited to, CONSPIRACY, FRAUD, UNLAWFUL CONVERSION, AND TREASON. The petition for Articles of Impeachment was thereafter referred to the Judiciary Committee and has YET TO BE ACTED UPON. So, this ELECTRONIC BOOKLET should be reprinted, reposted, posted on web pages and circulated far and wide. Congressman McFadden stated in Congress, concerning the Federal Reserve Corporation, 1934 AN ASTOUNDING EXPOSURE Reprinted by permission 1978 Arizona Caucus Club Congressman McFadden's Speech On the Federal Reserve Corporation, Quotations from several speeches made on the Floor of the House of Representatives by the Honorable Louis T. McFadden of Pennsylvania. Mr. McFadden, due to his having served as Chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee for more than 10 years, was the best posted man on these matters in America and was in a position to speak with authority concerning the vast ramifications of this gigantic private credit monopoly. As Representative of a State which was among the first to declare its freedom from foreign money tyrants, it is fitting that Pennsylvania, the cradle of liberty, again be given the credit for producing a son that was not afraid to hurl defiance in the face of the money-bund. Whereas Mr. McFadden was elected to high office on both the Democratic and Republican tickets, there can be no accusation of partisanship lodged against him. Because these speeches are set out in full in the Congressional Record, they carry weight that no amount of condemnation on the part of private individuals could hope to carry. The Federal Reserve: A Corrupt Institution. "Mr. Chairman, 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 14

15 Reserve Banks, hereinafter called the Fed. The Fed has cheated the Government of the United States and the people of the United States out of enough money to pay the Nation's debt. The depredations and iniquities of the Fed have cost enough money to pay the National debt several times over. "This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of the United States, has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the defects of the law under which it operates, through the maladministration of that law by the Fed and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it. "Some people think that the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government institutions. They are private monopolies that prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; and rich and predatory money lenders. In that dark crew of financial pirates, there are those who would cut a man's throat to get a dollar out of his pocket; there are those who send money into states to buy votes to control our legislatures; there are those who maintain international propaganda for the purpose of deceiving us into granting new concessions, which will permit them to cover up their past misdeeds and set again in motion their gigantic train of crime. "These twelve private credit monopolies were deceitfully and disloyally foisted upon this Country by the bankers who came here from Europe and repaid us our hospitality by undermining our American institutions. Those bankers took money out of this Country to finance Japan in a war against Russia. They created a reign of terror in Russia with our money in order to help that war along. They instigated the separate peace between Germany and Russia, and thus drove a wedge between the allies in the World War. They financed Trotsky's passage from New York to Russia so that he might assist in the destruction of the Russian Empire. They fomented and instigated the Russian Revolution, and placed a large fund of American dollars at Trotsky's disposal in one of their branch banks in Sweden so that through him Russian homes might be thoroughly broken up, and Russian children flung far and wide from their natural protectors. They have since begun the breaking up of American homes and the dispersal of American children. "Mr. Chairman, there should be no partisanship in matters concerning banking and currency affairs in this Country, and I do not speak with any. "In 1912, the National Monetary Association, under the chairmanship of the late Senator Nelson W. Aldrich, made a report and presented a vicious bill called the National Reserve Association bill. This bill is usually spoken of as the Aldrich bill. Senator Aldrich did not write the Aldrich bill. He was the tool, if not the accomplice, of the European bankers who for nearly twenty years had been scheming to set up a central bank in this Country and who in 1912 had spent and were continuing to spend vast sums of money to accomplish their purpose. 15

16 "We were opposed to the Aldrich plan for a central bank. The men who rule the Democratic Party then promised the people that if they were returned to power there would be no central bank established here while they held the reigns of government. Thirteen months later that promise was broken, and the Wilson administration, under the tutelage of those sinister Wall Street figures who stood behind Colonel House, established here in our free Country the worm-eaten monarchical institution of the "King's Bank" to control us from the top downward, and from the cradle to the grave. "The Federal Reserve Bank destroyed our old and characteristic way of doing business. It discriminated against our 1-name commercial paper, the finest in the world, and it set up the antiquated 2-name paper, which is the present curse of this Country and which wrecked every country which has ever given it scope; it fastened down upon the Country the very tyranny from which the framers of the Constitution sough to save us. PRESIDENT JACKSON'S TIME "One of the greatest battles for the preservation of this Republic was fought out here in Jackson's time; when the second Bank of the United States, founded on the same false principles of those which are here exemplified in the Fed was hurled out of existence. After that, in 1837, the Country was warned against the dangers that might ensue if the predatory interests after being cast out should come back in disguise and unite themselves to the Executive and through him acquire control of the Government. That is what the predatory interests did when they came back in the livery of hypocrisy and under false pretenses obtained the passage of the Fed. "The danger that the Country was warned against came upon us and is shown in the long train of horrors attendant upon the affairs of the traitorous and dishonest Fed. Look around you when you leave this Chamber and you will see evidences of it in all sides. This is an era of misery and for the conditions that caused that misery, the Fed is fully liable. This is an era of financed crime and in the financing of crime; the Fed does not play the part of a disinterested spectator. "It has been said that the draughtsman who was employed to write the text of the Aldrich bill because that had been drawn up by lawyers, by acceptance bankers of European origin in New York. It was a copy, in general a translation of the statues of the Reichsbank and other European central banks. One-half million dollars was spent on the part of the propaganda organized by these bankers for the purpose of misleading public opinion and giving Congress the impression that there was an overwhelming popular demand for it and the kind of currency that goes with it, namely, an asset currency based on human debts and obligations. Dr. H. Parker Willis had been employed by Wall Street and propagandists, and when the Aldrich measure failed- he obtained employment with Carter Glass, to assist in drawing the banking bill for the Wilson administration. He appropriated the text of the Aldrich bill. There is no secret about it. The test of the Federal Reserve Act was tainted from the first. 16

17 "A few days before the bill came to a vote, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts, wrote to Senator John W. Weeks as follows: New York City, December 17, 1913 My Dear Senator Weeks: Throughout my public life I have supported all measures designed to take the Government out of the banking business... This bill puts the Government into the banking business as never before in our history and makes, as I understand it, all notes Government notes when they should be bank notes. The powers vested in the Federal Reserve Board seem to me highly dangerous, especially where there is political control of the Board. I should be sorry to hold stock in a bank subject to such domination. The bill as it stands seems to me to open the way to a vast inflation of the currency. There is no necessity of dwelling upon this point after the remarkable and most powerful argument of the senior Senator from New York. I can be content here to follow the example of the English candidate for Parliament who thought it enough "to say ditto to Mr. Burke." I will merely add that I do not like to think that any law can be passed which will make it possible to submerge the gold standard in a flood of irredeemable paper currency. I had hoped to support this bill, but I cannot vote for it as it stands, because it seems to me to contain features and to rest upon principles in the highest degree menacing to our prosperity, to stability in business, and to the general welfare of the people of the United States. Very sincerely yours, Henry Cabot Lodge" In eighteen years that have passed since Senator Lodge wrote that letter of warning all of his predictions have come true. The Government is in the banking business as never before. Against its will, it has been made the backer of horse thieves and cardsharps, bootleggers, smugglers, speculators, and swindlers in all parts of the world. Through the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks the riffraff of every country is operating on the public credit of this United States Government. THE GREAT DEPRESSION Meanwhile, and on account of it, we ourselves are in the midst of the greatest depression we have ever known. Thus the menace to our prosperity, so feared by Senator Lodge, has indeed struck home. From the Atlantic to the Pacific, our country has been ravaged and laid waste by the evil practices of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks and the interests that control them. At no time in our history has the general welfare of the people of the United States been at a lower level or the mind of the people so filled with despair. Recently in one of our States 60,000 dwelling houses and farms were brought under the hammer in a single day. Recently in one of our States, 60,000 dwelling houses and farms were brought under the hammer in a single day, 71,000 houses and farms in Oakland County, Michigan, have been sold and their erstwhile owners dispossessed. Similar occurrences have probably taken place 17

18 in every county in the United States. The people who have thus been driven out are the wastage of the Federal Reserve act. They are the victims of the dishonest and unscrupulous Federal Reserve Board and Federal Reserve banks. Their children are the new slaves of the auction blocks in the revival here of the institution of human slavery. The Scheme of the Fed In 1913, before the Senate Banking and Currency Committee, Mr. Alexander Lassen made the following statement: But the whole scheme of the Federal Reserve bank with its commercial-paper basis is an impractical, cumbersome machinery, is simply a cover, to find a way to secure the privilege of issuing money and to evade payment of as much tax upon circulation as possible, and then control the issue and maintain, instead of reduce, interest rates. It is a system that, if inaugurated, will prove to the advantage of the few and the detriment of the people of the United States. It will mean continued shortage of actual money and further extension of credits; for when there is a lack of real money people have to borrow credit to their cost." A few days before the Federal Reserve act was passed Senator Elihu Root denounced the Federal Reserve bill as an outrage on our liberties and made the following prediction: "Long before we wake up from our dreams of prosperity through an inflated currency, our gold, which alone could have kept us from catastrophe, will have vanished and no rate of interest will tempt it to return." If ever a prophecy came true, that one did. It was impossible, however, for those luminous and instructed thinkers to control the course of events. On December 23, 1913, the Federal Reserve bill became law, and that night Colonel House wrote to his hidden master in Wall Street as follows: "I want to say a word of appreciation to you for the silent but no doubt effective work you have done in the interest of currency legislation and to congratulate you that the measure has finally been enacted into law. We all know that an entirely perfect bill, satisfactory to everybody, would have been an impossibility, and I feel quite certain that unless the President had stood as firm as he did we should likely have had no legislation at all. The bill is a good one in many respects; anyhow good enough to start with and to let experience teach us in what direction it needs perfection, which in due time we shall then get. In any event you have personally good reason to feel gratified with what has been accomplished." The words "unless the President had stood as firm as he did we should likely have had no legislation at all," were a gentle reminder that it was Colonel House himself, the "holy monk," who had kept the President firm. The foregoing letter affords striking evidence of the manner in which the predatory interests then sought to control the Government of the United States by surrounding the Executive with the personality and the influence of a financial Judas. Left to itself and to the conduct of its own legislative functions without 18
