Although the Honorable Ron Paul (R-TX) was twice unsuccessful in his bids for the U.S. presidency, he was hugely successful in waking up large numbers to the fact that America’s money supply --hence, economy and government-- is controlled by a private, for-profit corporation that has the federal government it its front pocket. The title of his book, END THE FED, was the predominant rallying cry at all of his gatherings.
The Federal Reserve System is no more a part of the U.S. Government than the Federal Express shipping or Federal ammunition companies are. It is a banking cartel whose exact ownership is not known to Congress -- a secret they have kept as far back as 1913 when the bill to create it was snuck through after most members had gone home to their districts for the holidays. Billed as the Currency Act, it was signed into law by progressive Democrat, Woodrow Wilson, on the 23rd of December.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing that prints the fiat currency we carry in our wallets is essentially nothing more than a contractor -- much like the ones that work for any other bank to print its checks, deposit slips, business cards, etc. The only deficiency of the latter is that they don’t have a government-sanctioned monopoly on the right to freely print legal tender at will.
Here, in Col. 1, is more on the story of when WE WERE SOLD OUT! And, WOW, just look at the prices for those goods in the ads in the paper!! That’s the effect of Fed-induced inflation over the past century. In fact, the online U.S. Inflation Calculator (not coincidentally) starts with 1913 as the benchmark from which to measure any and all years in between.
Most Americans only know Andrew Jackson as the face on the $20 FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE --one of, if not, the most widely circulated denominations-- and wonder what he did to deserve such honor. Truth is, it is NO honor to his memory and legacy what-so-ever! This was done deliberately to mock him in contempt and delight themselves in the fact it is they who are REALLY running things in Washington, D.C.
Americans know very little of what were, perhaps, his greatest achievements; he killed the bank that was the Fed’s predecessor and, accordingly, eliminated the national debt. Why would he do such a thing? You can click here for the short of it but the answers were all laid out in his farewell message to the American people for posterity. Given the magnitude of its importance, it was very lengthy but these excerpts should adequately reveal his sentiments and grave concerns for the future of his country.
“The mischief springs from the power which the moneyed interest derives from a paper currency which they are able to control, from the multitude of corporations with exclusive privileges which they have succeeded in obtaining in the different States, and which are employed altogether for their benefit; and unless you become more watchful in your States and check this spirit of monopoly and thirst for exclusive privileges you will in the end find that the most important powers of Government have been given or bartered away, and the control over your dearest interests has passed into the hands of these corporations.
“The paper-money system and its natural associations--monopoly and exclusive privileges--have already struck their roots too deep in the soil, and it will require all your efforts to check its further growth and to eradicate the evil. The men who profit by the abuses and desire to perpetuate them will continue to besiege the halls of legislation in the General Government as well as in the States, and will seek by every artifice to mislead and deceive the public servants. It is to yourselves that you must look for safety and the means of guarding and perpetuating your free institutions. In your hands is rightfully placed the sovereignty of the country, and to you everyone placed in authority is ultimately responsible...
“We are not left to conjecture how the moneyed power, thus organized and with such a weapon in its hands, would be likely to use it. The distress and alarm which pervaded and agitated the whole country when the Bank of the United States (WHICH, again, JACKSON ABOLISHED BUT WAS INSIDIOUSLY AND COVERTLY RESURRECTED IN 1913 UNDER THE NAME "FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM") waged war upon the people in order to compel them to submit to its demands can not yet be forgotten. The ruthless and unsparing temper with which whole cities and communities were oppressed, individuals impoverished and ruined, and a scene of cheerful prosperity suddenly changed into one of gloom and despondency ought to be indelibly impressed on the memory of the people of the United States. If such was its power in a time of peace, what would it not have been in a season of war, with an enemy at your doors? No nation but the freemen of the United States could have come out victorious from such a contest; yet, if you had not conquered, the Government would have passed from the hands of the many to the hands of the few, and this organized money power from its secret conclave would have dictated the choice of your highest officers and compelled you to make peace or war, as best suited their own wishes. The forms of your Government might for a time have remained, but its living spirit would have departed from it.”
Let that sink in for a while -- ESPECIALLY that last sentence and the part about making wars that best suit their own wishes! In the meantime, for your viewing pleasure:

“The Colonies would gladly have borne the little tax on tea and other matters had it not been the poverty caused by the bad influence of the English bankers on the Parliament, which has caused in the Colonies hatred of England and the Revolutionary War.”
