We have been owned for a long time. Look at these quotes from respectable people from over 200 years ago and up...you'll get the picture.
“If ever again our nation stumbles upon unfunded paper, it shall surely be like death to our body politic. This country will crash.”- George
Washington, 1732-1799
“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks…will
deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered…. The issuing power should be
taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.” . . . “Paper is poverty. It is the ghost of money and not money
itself.”- Thomas Jefferson, 1743-1826
“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 its issuance.” – James Madison, 1751-1836
“When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives
is above the hand that takes… Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain.” –
Napoleon Bonaparte, 1769-1821, a sympathizer for the international bankers, turned against them in the last years of his rule.
“The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.” – “Coningsby, the New
Generation”, Benjamin Disraeli, first Prime Minister of England, 1844
“I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war,
corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its
reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment
more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war.” – Abraham Lincoln – In a letter written to William Elkin,
1860
“The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the
buying power of consumers. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master
and become the servant of humanity. ” – Abraham Lincoln, 1809-1865
“My agency, in promoting the passage of the National Banking Act was the greatest financial mistake in my life. It has built up a monopoly which
affects every interest in the country.” – Presidential Advisor to Lincoln, Salmon P. Chase, 1864
“The division of the United States into 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 in one block and as one nation, would attain economic and financial independence,
which would upset their financial domination over the world. The voice of the Rothschilds prevailed… Therefore they sent their emissaries into the
field to exploit the question of slavery and to open an abyss between the two sections of the Union.” – Otto von Bismarck, German chancellor,
1865
“The death of Lincoln was a disaster for Christendom. There was no man in the United States great enough to wear his boots…I fear that foreign
bankers with their craftiness and their torturous tricks will entirely control the exuberant riches of America, and use it systematically to corrupt
modern civilization. They will not hesitate to plunge the whole of Christendom into wars and chaos in order that the earth shall become their (the
bankers’) inheritance.” – Chancellor of Germany, Otto Von Bismarck, 1865
“Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce. And when you realize that the entire system is
very easily controlled, one way or another by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression
originate.” – President James Garfield, 1881. He was assassinated just weeks after making this statement.
“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. 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 by
conviction and vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men…. Since I entered politics, I have
chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the U.S., in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of
somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so
pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.” – The New Freedom, President Woodrow Wilson,
1913 (after signing into passage the Glass Owen Act of 1913 that established the Federal Reserve System)
“These international bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of the newspapers and the columns in those papers to club
into submission or drive out of office officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible
government.” – Theodore Roosevelt as reported in the New York Times, March 27th, 1922
“Sell all of your stock now. Don’t ask any questions.” – Joseph P. Kennedy to his friend, father of Ed Kerrigan, 1929, (right before the
crash. During the Great Depression, Joseph P. Kennedy’s worth grew from four million dollars in 1929 to over 100 million dollars in 1935. Apparently
he had insider information and knew what the Federal Reserve intended to do.)
“The Federal Reserve definitely caused the Great Depression by contracting Americas’ money supply by one third between 1929 and 1933.” –
Milton Friedman, Nobel Prize winning economist, Stanford University
“Bankers own the earth; take it away from them but leave them with the power to create credit; and, with a flick of a pen, they will create enough
money to buy it back again… If you want to be slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let the bankers control money and control
credit.”- Sir Josiah Stamp, Director, Bank of England, 1940
“Most Americans have no real understanding of the operations of the international moneylenders… the accounts of the Federal Reserve have never
been audited. It operates outside the control of Congress and … manipulates the credit of the United States”- Sen. Barry Goldwater, circa 1964
“The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining super capitalism and Communism under the same tent,
all under their control…. Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning,
and incredibly evil in intent.”- Congressman Larry P. McDonald, 1976, killed in the Korean Airlines 747 that was shot down by the
Soviets
