TAXES AND THE FEDERAL RESERVE
|
||
|
||
How would you like to own a business where no one in
|
||
government knew who you are . . . where the IRS never
|
||
questioned you and only the lowest of lower minor bureau-
|
||
crats has his hand in your pocket . . . for real estate
|
||
taxes only . . . and no one in government dared to approach
|
||
or reproach you ? . . . You are indeed the king of the
|
||
mountain and the ignorant American citizens are paying you
|
||
over 17 1/2 million dollars PER HOUR OF EVERY DAY! NO taxes
|
||
. . no control . . . how sweet. This is not science fiction
|
||
nor a story about fairies or leprechauns . . . there is such
|
||
an outfit in our country that pays no taxes except real
|
||
estate taxes.
|
||
If they pay no federal income, state income or other
|
||
taxes, guess who has to make up the difference? That's
|
||
right . . . you and I are the jerks who pay the 17 mil per
|
||
hour and make up their share of taxes. Who is this evader
|
||
of taxes? The Federal Reserve System!
|
||
But you say they're part of the Federal Government--
|
||
at least under some government control. WRONG! This is
|
||
what they want you to believe but it's a fairy tale! The
|
||
Fed is NOT an agency of the federal government and neither
|
||
does any division of government control their actions or
|
||
policies. It has the same relationship to the federal
|
||
government as the Federal Express or your local Federal Meat
|
||
Market. NONE. It is a privately owned banking system.
|
||
The Federal Reserve is a central bank, similar to
|
||
central banks around the world. These include the Bank of
|
||
England, the Bank of France, the Bundesbank of Germany and
|
||
Banco de Mexico. No government in the world controls a
|
||
central bank; the opposite is true. These banks tell people
|
||
and governments where to go . . what to do and they answer
|
||
to no one!
|
||
Banks conjure images of vaults overflowing with stacks
|
||
of money. What is money? ". . . (a) Standard pieces of
|
||
gold, silver, copper, nickel, etc., stamped by government
|
||
authority and used as a medium of exchange and measure of
|
||
value; coin or coins; also called hard money. (b) any paper
|
||
note issued by a government or an authorized bank and used
|
||
in the same way; bank notes; bills; also called paper
|
||
money." (Webster's New Twentieth Century Dictionary).
|
||
Random House dictionary defines a note as "any of
|
||
various types of instruments covering debts, as a promissory
|
||
note." Now take a fast look at the dollar bill in your
|
||
pocket. It tells you it's a 'Federal Reserve Note'! It's
|
||
an instrument covering debt, created out of thin air, only a
|
||
credit entry on bank books. This secret outfit controls our
|
||
money and tells us what it's worth.
|
||
Is that legal? Let's find out. What does our
|
||
Constitution have to say about money? First, Congress has
|
||
the authority to "borrow money on the credit of the United
|
||
States." This corrects a defect in the original Articles of
|
||
|
||
Confederation. Today, we see the result of unrestrained use
|
||
of this power when Congress proposes raising the debt
|
||
ceiling.
|
||
Next we find "Congress shall have the Power . . . To
|
||
coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin
|
||
. ."
|
||
Not one word in our Constitution allows our money to be
|
||
a piece of paper with numbers printed on it. To coin money
|
||
does not mean to print money.
|
||
The colonists had over one hundred years experience
|
||
with paper money. They were known as Bills of Credit back
|
||
then. Bad money experiences left a nasty taste in the
|
||
mouths of most at the Constitutional Convention in Philadel-
|
||
phia. Their plan was to stop the use of paper money. They
|
||
added a monetary constraint to the document which prohibits
|
||
any state from 'making any Thing but gold and silver Coin a
|
||
Tender in the Payment of Debts'. This requirement slapped
|
||
the responsibility right on the states to keep our money
|
||
honest. We have a constitutional right to real money.
|
||
Debasement of our money is so complete that we now have
|
||
ersatz pennies and coated copper coins replace our silver
|
||
coins. This is a travesty!
|
||
Paper money is a good deal for government. A worthless
|
||
piece of paper with a number printed on it tells us it's
|
||
worth ten dollars, one hundred dollars . . . or one thousand
|
||
dollars.
|
||
In the upper left corner of that paper dollar in your
|
||
pocket is the statement, "This note is legal tender for all
|
||
debts, public and private". That's a cockeyed lie! Gold
|
||
and silver coin are the ONLY legal tender allowed by the
|
||
Constitution.
|
||
The Coinage Act of 1792 defined our money and specifies
|
||
our coins are to be of gold and silver. This is still a
|
||
valid act of the Congress . . . Congress has never repealed
|
||
it.
|
||
Congress is ordered to regulate the value of foreign
|
||
coin. Yet today we have foreign exchange markets where the
|
||
value of our dollar floats in relationship to foreign
|
||
currency. This is so unconstitutional as to border on the
|
||
edge of criminal.
|
||
How did we get into this situation concerning our
|
||
money? Let's unravel a web of intrigue and deceit. Central
|
||
banks were common in Europe before World War I and they
|
||
decided to set up the same system in the United States.
|
||
Earlier in our history, we had two central banks. Fortu-
|
||
nately, at those times, we had Presidents who valued and
|
||
respected their oath to preserve the Constitution. Our
|
||
government did not renew these bank charters and they died a
|
||
quiet death. However, there is no charter requiring renewal
|
||
under the Federal Reserve Act. They have a perpetual
|
||
license to steal.
|
||
The late eighteen and early nineteen hundreds saw a
|
||
major campaign by international bankers to get a new central
|
||
bank established in this country. The first character we
|
||
|
||
find in this story is Paul Moritz Warburg from Hamburg,
|
||
Germany. He represented a large European banking family,
|
||
the Rothschilds. These are the people who once said,
|
||
"Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I
|
||
care not who makes the laws!"
|
||
The Rothschilds bankrolled Warburg in 1902. His
|
||
mission? To convince major bankers and industrialists that
|
||
a private central bank was the answer to America's economic
|
||
ills. In addition to whatever money Warburg needed to buy
|
||
into New York money houses, they paid him half a million a
|
||
year . . . a tidy sum even today. Rothschild knew what
|
||
fabulous profits there would be after they set up the
|
||
private bank. And they were right . . . 17 million bucks
|
||
per hour ain't shabby.
|
||
Warburg spent eight years around the country preaching
|
||
his false economics. There were many conspirators in this
|
||
goal to control the United States' economy. One greedy and
|
||
powerful character was US Senator Nelson Aldrich. (Yes,
|
||
Nelson Rockefeller's grandfather.) Congress often denounced
|
||
Aldrich for the disregard of his oath of office as he
|
||
devoted his power and energies to the program of inter-
|
||
national finance.
|
||
Strange happenings began the night of November 22, 1910
|
||
when reporters received a tip that some very important
|
||
people from New York city would be arriving at the train
|
||
station in Hoboken, New Jersey. Along with Warburg and
|
||
Aldrich, reporters identified the biggest names in banking
|
||
and industry and included many government officials. These
|
||
men controlled the oil, railroads, communications and heavy
|
||
industry in this country.
|
||
Not one man would talk to reporters. They all dis-
|
||
appeared into the last car on the train, a private car owned
|
||
by Aldrich. Drawing all shades, they left reporters
|
||
scratching their heads on the reason for these movers and
|
||
shakers being there. There wasn't a hint on the destination
|
||
of the train or reasons for the secrecy.
|
||
Thirty years later, some details of that trip emerged.
|
||
Jekyll Island, off the coast of Georgia, was where these big
|
||
shots travelled and came up with the bill creating the pri-
|
||
vately owned bank for United States. True to Rothschilds,
|
||
they knew once they had control of our money, it wouldn't
|
||
make any difference who makes the laws.
|
||
Deception was immediate. The conspirators knew that
|
||
the representatives from Southern and Western states would
|
||
never agree to any bill suggesting a central bank or control
|
||
by Wall Street money. The first try to get the private bank
|
||
bill through Congress was called the Aldrich Plan. People
|
||
fought back and in 1911, they defeated the bill.
|
||
This kind of greed doesn't die. It was only a minor
|
||
set back. Their final triumph occurred in 1913. Warburg
|
||
insisted the bill go back into Congress as the Federal
|
||
Reserve Act to hide that it was the same bill defeated
|
||
earlier.
|
||
The lackeys pushed the bill through Congress on
|
||
|
||
December 22, 1913 after most members had gone home for the
|
||
Christmas holidays. President Woodrow Wilson signed it into
|
||
law the very next day. America's independence disappeared.
|
||
The preamble to the Federal Reserve Act tells us the
|
||
purposes of the Act are "to provide for the establishment of
|
||
Federal Reserve Banks, to furnish an elastic currency, to
|
||
afford a means of rediscounting commercial paper, to
|
||
establish a more effective supervision of banking in the
|
||
United States, and for other purposes."
|
||
'Elastic currency'? That's the same as rubber money.
|
||
Rediscounting is a system where member banks borrow credit
|
||
from the central bank. This allows fluctuations in the
|
||
discount rate and enables the Fed to control the money
|
||
supply of the nation. Rediscounting influences the total
|
||
outstanding credit on commercial paper and government bonds.
|
||
In this way, the central reserve bank can expand or contract
|
||
the money supply at will. They can now manufacture boom
|
||
times or depressions whenever it strikes their fancy.
|
||
And with all the bank and Savings and Loan closures,
|
||
it's clear they were effective in their duty to exercise
|
||
supervision of banking in the United States. Or . . . was
|
||
that planned?
|
||
'And for other purposes' -- what does that mean? Is
|
||
that the all encompassing clause which removes all restric-
|
||
tions? Warburg and his lackeys knew exactly what they were
|
||
doing.
|
||
The Act gave authority (?) for a private banking system
|
||
to create 'money' out of thin air. We find proof of this
|
||
from hearings before the House Committee on Banking and
|
||
Currency, September 30, 1941. Representative Wright Patman
|
||
of Texas asked Federal Reserve Governor Marriner Eccles:
|
||
"How did you get the money to buy those two billion dollars
|
||
worth of Government securities in 1933?"
|
||
Eccles replied: "We created it."
|
||
Patman asks: "Out of what?"
|
||
Eccles: "Out of the right to issue credit money."
|
||
Patman: "And there is nothing behind it, is there,
|
||
except our Government's credit?"
|
||
Eccles: "That is what our money system is. If there
|
||
were no debts in our money system, there wouldn't be any
|
||
money."
|
||
See now why your dollar bill is called a note?
|
||
This interview is from the Congressional Record and is
|
||
also in an exceptional book by Eustace Mullins, called The
|
||
Federal Reserve Conspiracy, (Omni Publications, Hawthorne,
|
||
CA., 1971).
|
||
The money we use today has its basis in debt, not
|
||
wealth. This funny money, contrived by a private banking
|
||
cartel for their profit, now controls our economy. And,
|
||
speaking of profit, our government does NOT know who owns
|
||
The Federal Reserve system or whether they are even American
|
||
citizens for that matter. How does that grab you?
|
||
Let's check interest payments again. They demand
|
||
payment in full and on time every year. Breaking down the
|
||
|
||
$17.6 million per hour means we shell out over $226,000
|
||
every time your heart beats. Over a quarter of a million of
|
||
our bucks!
|
||
One requirement of the Federal Reserve Act orders the
|
||
system to have an annual public audit. The Fed has NEVER
|
||
had a public audit. When questioned about this, the Fed
|
||
answers that they are continually audited . . . BY THEM-
|
||
SELVES! They do not address the word 'public'. It's like
|
||
having the fox count the hens in the chicken house.
|
||
When someone questions their legality, the Fed responds
|
||
with, "Would you rather have the control of money in the
|
||
hands of politicians and politics?" Politicians are, at
|
||
least in theory, responsible to the people. But what's more
|
||
important, the Constitution orders Congress [politicians] to
|
||
control the value of our money! Honest money is a guaran-
|
||
tee. There is not one instance in history to show that
|
||
politicians have ever destroyed the value of money . . .
|
||
it's only been done by international bankers.
|
||
We read that Congress shall coin money and regulate its
|
||
value. Whenever you see the words 'Congress shall', it's a
|
||
COMMAND! There is NO option or permission in our Constitu-
|
||
tion to delegate congressional duties to another govern-
|
||
mental body, and certainly not to a private cartel.
|
||
If this isn't clear thus far, let's take a quick look
|
||
at the Tenth Amendment . . THE POWERS NOT DELEGATED TO THE
|
||
UNITED STATES BY THE CONSTITUTION, NOR PROHIBITED BY IT TO
|
||
THE STATES, ARE RESERVED TO THE STATES RESPECTIVELY OR TO
|
||
THE PEOPLE. If we didn't precisely grant the power, they
|
||
don't have it.
|
||
Our Constitution gives NO authority for the Federal
|
||
Reserve system. Neither is there any permission for our
|
||
government to be in any type of banking business. (FDIC,
|
||
FSLIC, IMF, World Bank, etc, etc.) Congress is breaking the
|
||
law . . . and their oath to support our Constitution. As a
|
||
result, they saddle us with debt which they call money.
|
||
This control of Americans is so thorough, it effects even
|
||
the little kid with pennies in a piggy bank.
|
||
Write a letter to any Fed Reserve bank and ask a
|
||
question about money. The question is unimportant, but pay
|
||
attention to the return envelope. It will bear a stamp.
|
||
All government mail has a Roman styled eagle printed in the
|
||
upper right corner. If the Fed was a government entity, it
|
||
would also use a franked envelope!
|
||
To show that no one in our government has any say-so in
|
||
the activities of the Fed, an under-secretary of the
|
||
Treasury appeared on PBS. He said the government would like
|
||
to see the Federal Reserve increase the money supply to
|
||
allow for a more moderate growth. More wishful thinking is
|
||
for the Fed to lower the discount rate . . . the rate they
|
||
charge member banks when they borrow money. What drivel!
|
||
They have just been forced to lower the discount rate.
|
||
It has to be that the economy has gone much more sour than
|
||
even the Fed expected. Strange, isn't it? The condition of
|
||
the economy is all a result of previous actions by the Fed!
|
||
|
||
There are a lot of theories out there . . . please make up
|
||
your own mind as events unfold.
|
||
This brings up another point Americans should question
|
||
... ownership of gold by the Federal government. Our gold
|
||
is supposedly at Ft. Knox, Kentucky safely stored under-
|
||
ground. But, is it? No one really knows and congressmen
|
||
have been unable to get into the vaults to be sure of its
|
||
existence. Why is it that we've heard nothing about this
|
||
alleged storage lately?
|
||
These are public monies entrusted to the government.
|
||
Just where is our gold? If it's not at Ft. Knox, what
|
||
happened to it? Is it possible it's already in a secret
|
||
vault under the Seine River in Paris? Letters to the
|
||
Secretary of the Treasury and members of Congress might just
|
||
revive interest on this crucial issue. Answers should be
|
||
very interesting.
|
||
Is it also possible that our gold is no longer at Ft.
|
||
Knox because of shady manipulations involving the Federal
|
||
Reserve System? International bankers have been moving our
|
||
gold out of the country for over 100 years. What went wrong
|
||
is clear. Our money problems are all a result of a law
|
||
which Congress had no power to enact which permits this
|
||
financial fiasco.
|
||
Question your Senators and Representatives about this
|
||
violation of constitutional powers. The only way our
|
||
government can make ANY change in the basic operation is
|
||
with our consent through the amendment process! We have to
|
||
demand that Congress take away the power to create 'money'
|
||
from a private bank and fulfill their constitutional duty to
|
||
issue honest money.
|
||
If Congress refuses to perform its duty, we should
|
||
throw them all out of office and elect honest people to the
|
||
positions.
|
||
Your taxes have gone wild ONLY because of unconstitu-
|
||
tional practices by our government. I have pointed out
|
||
another one of their illegal deals. When do we get a handle
|
||
on this crap? It's up to you! Today we're holding the
|
||
dirty end of a short stick!
