This one really struck me:


"Capital must protect itself in every way. Debts must be collected, mortgages foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When through the process of law the common people lose their homes, they will become more docile and more easily governed through the strong arm of government applied by a central power of wealth under leading financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of capitalism to govern the world. By dividing the people we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us except as teachers of the common herd. It is thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves that which has been so well planned and so successfully accomplished." - U.S. Banker's Association Magazine, 1924

1924 , huh ? Well a 1924 silver dollar in Very Good ( a very low grade for a dollar ) at current prices , on the Gray Sheet , last I checked, would cost a consumer a minimum of about $21, same , in Extra Fine ( kind of where you would want a Dollar to be ) , Meh , $28 .

...even though you've harassed me some...(elephant memory )...i must admit this is the best set of 'money quotes' i've found!..i've already ripped off selected quotations several times here...

...i am heartened there are people who understand this stinking 'money fraud'...the absolute $ine qua non...

...one of my favorite gig$ is asking politicians and other republicrat peckerheads, 'How come the bankster$ get our bond$ for nothing?'...VERY VERY FEW who don't look at me with a furrowed brow and crinkled nose...a big fat goose-egg question mark directly above their cranium...

....'they worketh their cake-chutes about illion$, oblivious to the hideous origin and nature of even one'... (attributed to h. e. panqui)​

Today's http://www.strike-the-root.com/ QotD:

"The Banking Infatuation pervades all America. Our whole system of Banks is a violation of every honest Principle of Banks. There is no honest Bank but a Bank of Deposit. A Bank that issues Paper at Interest is a Pickpocket or a Robber. But the Delusion will have its Course. You may as well reason with a Hurricane. An Aristocracy is growing out of them that will be as fatal as the Feudal Barons, if unchecked in Time."
~ John Adams

In the same letter:

"There is no honest money but Silver and Gold."

 

[Lucille]

"Governments lie; bankers lie; even auditors sometimes lie: gold tells the truth."
~ Lord Rees Mogg

....i warn people about this part of a danke-selected quote: "...If the American people allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." - Thomas Jefferson.

...although it rings of truth...it allows the bankster apologists to discredit it because of mistaken/wrong attribution...(i sense some miserable twisted bastards have 'long-polluted the scholarship' on 'money'...$moke-$creens and obstacle$ galore..)

Comments: This quotation is often cited as being in an 1802 letter to Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin, and/or "later published in The Debate Over the Recharter of the Bank Bill (1809)."
The first part of the quotation ("If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered") has not been found anywhere in Thomas Jefferson's writings, to Albert Gallatin or otherwise. It is identified in Respectfully Quoted as spurious, and the editor further points out that the words "inflation" and "deflation" are not documented until after Jefferson's lifetime.2

There is no such a thing in America as an independent press, unless it is out in country towns. You are all slaves. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to express an honest opinion. If you expressed it, you would know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid $150 for keeping honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things. If I should allow honest opinions to be printed in one issue of my paper, I would be like Othello before twenty-four hours: my occupation would be gone. The man who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the street hunting for another job. The business of a New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to villify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same — his salary. You know this, and I know it; and what foolery to be toasting an "Independent Press"! We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the string and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.

John Swinton, A.D. 1880
