James A. Garfield-(1831-1881) 20th President of the United States. Assassinated in Office. President James A. Garfield said: "Whoever controls the money in any country is absolute master of industry [legislation] and commerce". President James A. Garfield (1831-1881) "While boasting of our noble deeds, we are careful to control the ugly fact that by an iniquitous money system, we have nationalized a system of oppression which, though more refined, is not less cruel than the old system of chattel slavery." http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/02/books/review/destiny-of-the-republic-by-candice-millard-book- review.html 1
Abraham Lincoln-(1809-1865) the 16th President of the U.S.-Assassinated while in Office. In his First Inaugural Address, Lincoln made a point to discuss the role of Capital and Labor. Significant national issues were, at that time, in the first official speech, immediately after a Presidential Election. Lincoln spoke on finances and government: "In his First Annual Message to Congress, December 3, 1861, Abraham Lincoln stated: "Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed, if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. Capital has its rights, which are as worthy of protection as any other rights." 2
Charles Lindbergh, Sr., " The Money Trust" The Aldrich-Vreeland Emergency Currency Bill that the bankers proposed was defeated, but the persistent king bankers got it through under a different name -- the Federal Reserve Act. Notice how these artful and cunning men created the panic of 1907 so that they could provide the solution. Is this not the old Hegelian principle at work? Let's continue on and see what other testimony Lindbergh offered in his HOUSE RESOLUTION 80 in the House of Representatives on April 29, 1913, he said: "Ever since the Civil War, Congress has allowed the bankers to control financial legislation. The membership of the Finance Committee in the Senate (now the Banking and Currency Committee) and the Committee on Banking and Currency in the House have been made up chiefly of bankers, their agents, and their attorneys....in this way the committees have been able to control legislation in the interests of the few." Charles Lindbergh, In the House of Representatives, April 29, 1913. The men who have appointed the committees in the last fifty years have not had the clear and earnest viewpoint of our forefathers. On Tuesday, January fourteenth, seventeen hundred and ninety-four (1794), the following resolution was introduced in the United States Senate: "Nor shall any person holding any office or stock in any institution in the nature of a bank, for issuing or discounting bills or notes payable to bearer or order, under the authority of the United States, be a member of either house whilst he holds such office or stock." " It passed the Senate two days later, after being fought by the bankers, and amended at their instigation in order that they might be allowed to sit in Congress, but it still remained a protest to bankers controlling legislation in which they were personally interested. Our finances, including the actual control of legislation in Congress, have been surrendered to the bankers, their agents, and attorneys." Charles Lindbergh, Sr. " The Money Trust" Woodrow Wilson was President of the United States, when the Federal Reserve Act was passed in December of 1913, after most of the Congressmen and Senators had left Washington, to go home for the holidays. Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law in 1913. Later, he realized what he had done and made this statement: A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the Nation and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the world. No longer a government of free opinion, no longer a government of conviction and vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men." 3
Louis T. McFadden,-Chairman of the House Banking Committee-(1928-1935) After two attempts on his life in 1933-1934, McFadden died "mysteriously" in 1935. Let's go to the Congressional Record for the testimony of Congressman Louis T. MacFadden in 1932: "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 Reserve banks, which have cheated the government and the people of the United States out of enough money to pay the national debt several times over. This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of the United States and has practically bankrupted our government. It has done this through the defects of the law under which it operates, through the government. It has done this through the defects of the law under which it operates, through the maladministration of that law, and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it! Some people think the Federal Reserve banks are United States government institutions. They are not! They are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign swindlers; and the rich and predatory money lenders. Among those financial pirates, there are those who send money into states to buy votes to control our legislation; and there are those who maintain international propaganda for the purpose of deceiving us and wheedling 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 bankers who came here from Europe and repaid 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. They planned and instigated the Russian Revolution... In 1912, the National Monetary Association, under the chairmanship of the late Senator Nelson Aldrich, presented a vicious bill called the National Reserve Association Bill. This is usually spoken of as the Aldrich bill although Aldrich did not write the 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 America. In 1912 they were spending and are continuing to spend vast sums of money to accomplish their purpose. We were opposed to the Aldrich plan for a central bank. The men who ruled the Democratic Party then promised the people that if the 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 sinister Wall Street figures established, here in our free Country, the worm-eaten monarchical institution of the "King's Bank", to control us from the top downward, and to shackle us from the cradle to the grave...every effort has been made by the Federal Reserve Board to conceal its powers but the truth is...the Fed has usurped the government. It controls everything here and it controls all our foreign relations!..." 4
Congressman Louis T. MacFadden, speech in Congress, June 10, 1932 Do the members of Congress know about this? Lets see: " The Federal Reserve (Banks) are one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever seen. There is not a man within the sound of my voice, who does not know that this Nation is run by the International Bankers. Congressman Louis T. MacFadden In 1932, Congressman Louis MacFadden was trying to tell the American people that the U.S. Government was "nearly bankrupt". Shortly thereafter, he died under mysterious circumstances. Remember this was during the Great Depression, the Banks are calling in all their markers, there is no money in circulation for the U.S. Government (or the People) to pay off its debts. In 1933, Franklin Roosevelt, asked for and got the power for the President to declare a "state of national emergency", thereby, giving a President, War Powers, at any time, the President so declared. Senate Report 93-549 (1973), states: "Since March 9, 1933, the United States has been in a state of national emergency." It is sufficient to note that is now 63 years that the U.S. has been in a perpetual state of national emergency. Now for some testimony from a Credit Manager Of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, Georgia: " This is a staggering thought. We are completely dependent on the Commercial Banks. 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 without a permanent money system. When one gets a complete grasp of the picture, the tragic absurdity of our hopeless position is almost incredible, but there it is. It is the most important subject intelligent persons can investigate and reflect upon. It is so important that our present civilization may collapse unless it becomes widely understood and the defects remedied very soon." 5
