THE HISTORY OF LAWFUL GOLD AND SILVER
LEGAL TENDER AND
THE DEBT BROUGHT ON BY UNLAWFUL
FIAT PAPER MONEY
"I believe that banking institutions
are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies."(Thomas Jefferson)
"Governments never do anything
by accident; if government does something you can bet it was carefully
planned."(Franklin D.Roosevelt)
"The high office of President
has been used to format a plot to destroy the American's freedom, and before
I leave office must inform the citizen of his plight." (John F. Kennedy
at Columbia University, 10 days before his assassination).
This country which was founded
on Godly principles finds itself having some perplexing problems. One of
which, is a reported four trillion dollars debt, this debt is actually
closer to twelve trillion dollars, that's a twelve and twelve zeros.
"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)
How did this country get so far
in debt, is it the Americans fault, the governments fault, or is it possible
that there are other forces at work behind the scenes, causing the manipulation
of the currency of the world? For sure the ultimate blame rests with the
people of America. The responsibility of freedom is secured by individuals
and can only be given away individually, the minority cannot relinquish
the rights for the majority.
Thomas Jefferson said: "If a
nation expects to be ignorant and free it expects something it cannot be."
God's Holy Word says in Hosea 4:6: "My people are destroyed by a lack of
knowledge." Can a country that murders its children through government
sponsored abortion expect to prosper or even survive? Can a country escape
God's judgement while murdering its children or allowing and promoting
homosexuality, drug abuse, usury, and the blatant violation of its people
by government? The Word of God and history prove this cannot take place
without the moral and finally the physical destruction of its government
and its people for allowing the violation of God's Laws. Here is what the
Lord says about the violation of His laws in Hosea 7:13-8:4:
"{13} Woe to them, because they
have strayed from me! Destruction to them, because they have rebelled against
me! I long to redeem them but they speak lies against me.
{14} They do not cry out to me
from their hearts but wail upon their beds. They gather together for grain
and new wine but turn away from me.
{15} I trained them and strengthened
them, but they plot evil against me.
{16} They do not turn to the
Most High; they are like a faulty bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword
because of their insolent words. For this they will be ridiculed in the
land of Egypt.
{8:1} "Put the trumpet to your
lips! An eagle is over the house of the LORD because the people have broken
my covenant and rebelled against my law.
{2} Israel cries out to me, 'O
our God, we acknowledge you!'
{3} But Israel has rejected what
is good; an enemy will pursue him.
{4} They set up kings without
my consent; they choose princes without my approval. With their silver
and gold they make idols for themselves to their own destruction."
How do you destroy a country
without firing a shot and without destroying it's infrastructure? You do
this by controlling a nation's money, manipulating inflation and the use
of non-redeemable paper money instead of gold and silver. This is what
the Lord says about paper money in Proverbs 20:23: "The LORD detests differing
weights, and dishonest scales do not please him."
Here is a quote from John Adams:
"I am firmly of the opinion that there never was a paper pound, a paper
dollar, or a paper promise of any kind, that ever yet obtained a general
currency [as money] but by force or fraud, generally by both."
Also, a quote from Count Destutt
de Tracy: "A theft of greater magnitude and still more ruinous, is the
making of paper money; it is greater because in this money there is absolutely
no real value; it is more ruinous because by its gradual depreciation during
the time of its existence, it produces the effect which would be proration
of the coins. All those iniquities are founded on the false idea the money
is but a sign."
I'm going to show you some examples
in our nations history, of how we have been conquered and enslaved. By
the time the Revolutionary War was over the United States government could
not pay its war debts, altogether Congress printed two hundred million
dollars in paper currency just to operate the government. In a short time
they had to borrow money just to pay the interest; does this sound familiar?
William Davie, who was a delegate
from North Carolina [1787] said: "Can our general government recur to the
ordinary expedient of loans? During the late war, large sums were advanced
to us by foreign states and individuals. Congress has not been enabled
to pay even the interest of these debts with honor and punctuality. The
requisitions made on the states have been every where unproductive, and
some of them have not paid a stiver....Many of the individuals who lent
us money in the hour of our distress, are now reduced to indigence in consequence
of our delinquency.
So low and hopeless are the finances
of the United States, that, the year before last Congress was obliged to
borrow money even, to pay the interest of the principal which we had borrowed
before. This wretched resource of turning interest into principal, is the
most humiliating and disgraceful measure that a nation could take, and
approximates with rapidity to absolute ruin."
After the Revolutionary War the
military almost rebelled, and would have if it had not been for the pleading's
of George Washington. In 1787, Shays Rebellion broke out as a result of
the financial woes in this country. This caused a great rift between government
and the people. Congress decided that the Articles of the Confederation
were not sufficient and that a constitution must be written to protect
the government and allow trade between the States and other countries.
Only then would Congress be able to provide protection for the government
and the States, and only then would they, through this commercial enterprise,
be able to pay it's debts.
However, the forefathers made
a big mistake by allowing the international bankers to operate in this
country with their foreign interests unchecked. Who ever controls the money
of the world controls the world.
Here are a few quotes: "Whoever
controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry
and commerce."(Paul Warburg, drafter of the Federal Reserve Act)
"Permit me to issue and control
the money of a nation and I care not who makes its laws."(Mayer Amschel
Rothschild)
"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." (Woodrow Wilson)
"A power over a man's subsistence
amounts to a power over his will." (Alexander Hamilton)
"It is not a matter of what is
true that counts, but a matter of what is perceived to be true."(Henry
Kissinger)
There are and have been groups
of people with this power and goal. These groups have passed down from
generation to generation the desire to control and rule the world. Just
to name a few whom I'm sure you've heard of, the Rothschild's, Bilderbirger's,
Morgan's and Rockerfeller's. In order for these groups to implement their
plan they have used the secret societies such as, Jesuit's, Free Masonry
and the Illuminati.
The people of this country thought
we won the Revolutionary War. They were not aware of the forces at work
and the covenants made through treaties, and the obligations involved,
when using the kings money. Nor were they aware of the taxation that ensues
forusing the kings money and the slavery that follows.
Here's what our Lord said about
this in Nehemiah 5:4-5:
{4} "We have had to borrow money
to pay the king's tax on our fields and vineyards.
{5} Although we are of the same
flesh and blood as our countrymen and though our sons are as good as theirs,
yet we have to subject our sons and daughters to slavery. Some of our daughters
have already been enslaved, but we are powerless, because our fieldsand
our vineyards belong to others."
And in 1 Samuel 8:11-18 The Lord
said:
{11} "This is what the king who
will reign over you will do: He will take your sons and make them serve
with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots.
{12} Some he will assign to be
commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his
ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and
equipment for his chariots.
{13} He will take your daughters
to be perfumers and cooks and bakers.
{14} He will take the best of
your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants.
{15} He will take a tenth of
your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants.
{16} Your menservants and maidservants
and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use.
{17} He will take a tenth of
your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves.
{18} When that day comes, you
will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will
not answer you in that day."
"If the American people ever
allow the banks to control issuance of their currency, first by inflation
and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that grow up around them
will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake
up homeless on the continent their fathers occupied."(ThomasJefferson)
As an example, let's say we are
starting all over again in regards to this country, including money. Let's
say the free and independent people that occupy this country have had their
needs met by God Almighty, and that they have used the barter system as
a medium of exchange and all is going well. Let's say Oregon is the only
State in this hypothetical country and that the nations bank is willing
to loan out money to the government and its sovereign people. Let's say
the bank agrees to loan the government one thousand dollars (paper, gold,
silver or rocks) and expects ten percent in interest, payable in legal
tender, money, as payment for the privilege of borrowing this money.
Remember, the only money in existence
is the money the bank is now going to create. The bank makes the loan to
the government and at the same time the free and sovereign people want
into this new deal, sounds great, what a deal, we don't have to carry our
goods to the market to make purchases, we can pay for them with this new
money. As you well know looks can be deceiving. Let's examine the original
loan, the bank loaned out one thousand dollars, where is the government
going to get the ten percent of bank created money to pay the interest
on its loan. The only money in existence is the money created by the bank
and loaned out to the government, and the one time free and sovereign people.
To make it easier to comprehend what has taken place, temporarily forget
about the money loaned to the people.
There was only one thousand dollars
in existence, and that was loaned to the government, so where is the ten
percent going to come from? The accepted method of payment is the money
created by the bank, and the government agreed to this. The only alternative
is that the government could borrow more money to pay the interest or the
bank could foreclose on the government's property. The great minds in government
say gee, this is a problem.
Now let's bring the once free
and sovereign people back into the equation. The people have the same problem
because they have also borrowed the banks money, at ten percent interest,
with no possible way of ever repaying the interest. However, they are unaware
of this scam because they have been taught to trust the government. They
have been told by their preachers to trust this government, and that they
have to blindly obey this government according to the Word of God.
The great minds in government
say I know how we can repay the interest we owe, we'll require a direct
tax on the income of the once free and sovereign people and make it a voluntary
system but, at the same time we will make the tax appear to be mandatory
in the tax laws we write. So, the resourceful educated minority learn how
this works, and are able to acquire more money from the other less resourceful
people, and are able to repay their interest with money left over. The
less resourceful people have gotten so poor that they have begun losing
their property so, the number of people that are unable to pay the banks
usury gets larger every year. A long period of time passes and the interest
on the bank's loans goes unpaid. This ballooning debt causes the bankruptcy
of this country and the State of Oregon, with the bankers as trustees eventually,
because of the further use of non-redeemable paper money, foreclose on
the government and itspeople.
You now have to deal with the
human reaction of rejection, denial based on fear, which was caused by
the following reasons. One, the realization that your government does not
have your best interest at heart. Two, that your government representatives
would allow your enslavement for their personal gain. Three, the ultimate
insult, that anyone could con you out of your money and property with your
help and blessing. Four, that the government sponsored schools withheld
the necessary knowledge that would have made fraud and con impossible.
"Those unaware are unaware of
being unaware."(Merrill Jenkins)
Are you mad yet? No! Still in
a mental state of denial huh? The next two unimpeachable authorities should
overcome your denial, the fear you will have to deal with in your own way.
For me this was not a problem, my faith is in Jesus Christ not the federal
government.
First, Marriner Eccles, then
chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, in testimony
before the Banking and Currency Committee of the House of Representatives
on the Banking Act of 1935. Mr. Eccles testified: In purchasing offerings
of Government bonds, the banking system as a whole creates new money, or
bank deposits. When the banks buy a billion dollars of Government bonds
as they are offered-and you have to consider the banking system as a whole,
as a unit - the banks credit the deposit account of the Treasury with a
billion dollars. They debit their Government bond account a billion dollars,
or they actually create, by a bookkeeping entry, a billion dollars.
Second, President Eisenhower's
Secretary of the Treasury Anderson in an interview with U.S. News and World
Report on August 31, 1959:
Question: Do you mean that banks,
in buying Government securities, do not lend out their customers' deposits?
That they create the money they use to buy the securities?
Answer: (by Secretary Anderson):
That is correct. Banks are different from other lending institutions. When
a savings and loan association, an insurance company, or a credit union
makes a loan, it lends the very dollar that its customers have previously
paid in. But when a bank makes a loan, it simply adds to the borrower's
deposit account in the bank by the amount of the loan.
The money is not taken from anyone
else's deposit; it was not previously paid in to the bank by anyone. It's
new money, created by the bank for the use of the borrower.
"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 soon." (Robert
H. Hemphill, Credit Manager of Federal Reserve Bank, Atlanta, Ga.)
"The banks -- commercial banks
and the Federal Reserve -- create all the money of this nation and its
people pay interest on every dollar of that newly created money. Which
means that private banks exercise unconstitutionally, immorally, and ridiculously
the power to tax the people. For every newly created dollar dilutes to
some extent the value of every other dollar already in circulation." (Congressman
Jerry Voorhis)
On top of all that the bankers
were able to get Congress to allow them to practice fractional banking.
The banks can loan out 98% of the money on deposit, so if you deposited
one thousand dollars, the bank could loan out nine hundred and eighty dollars.
This is creating money out of
thin air, account money, no money has actually been printed yet now out
of the 98% available to be loaned out, you now owe more interest and no
money has been printed to repay the principle much less the interest. This
money can continue to be loaned out until it reaches zero. What a scam!
If it's not obvious to you yet, this was a fraud from the beginning because
bank created money was required to repay the interest, which was impossible
because only principle money was created.
Francis Corbin, a delegate from
Virginia [1787] said: "The debts due by the United States and how much
is due to foreign nations! No part of the principal is paid to those nations;
nor has even the interest been paid as honorably and punctually as it ought.
Nay, we were obliged to borrow money last year to pay the interest. What!
Borrow money to discharge the interest of what was borrowed, and continually
augment the amount of the public debt! Such a plan would destroy the richest
country on earth."
Here is a example of how the
Social Security scam works: Paul, in the year 1940, saves by paying one
hundred dollars to the national Social Security Administration. He receives
in exchange a claim which is virtually an unconditional government IOU
drawn upon the future taxpayers, because government uses this money on
the interest it owes and places a IOU in the fund to cover your deposit,
it is a tax and a forced loan. In 1970 a certain Peter may have to fulfill
the government's promise although he himself does not derive any benefit
from the fact that Paul, in 1940, saved one hundred dollars. Thus it becomes
obvious that the Pauls of 1940 do not owe it to themselves. It is the Peters
of 1970 who owe it to the Pauls of 1940. The administrators of 1940 solve
their problems by shifting them to the administrators of 1970. On that
date the administrators of 1940 will be either dead or elder statesmen
glorying in their wonderful achievement, Social Security. Add to that the
fact that
Paul's one hundred dollars which
was redeemable in silver will have to be redeemed by non-redeemable debt
[fiat] money. You cannot pay a debt obligation with a debt note, you can
only discharge the debt and pass it to the next generation.
"In Germany they came first ...
for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came
for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade
unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because
I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was
left to speak up."(Martin Niemoller)
Serious problems face this nation,
there is unrest because of the financial situation. Even a greater problem
is the moral breakdown of this nation. The separation from Godly principles
will destroy this one time great country. However, the focus of this paper
will be on the destruction of this country and it's people through the
use of paper money, the weapon of the internationalists. The pages to follow
are a snapshot of our history as a nation.
UNITED STATES TIME LINE
IN RELATION TO BANKING AND PAPER MONEY
1765: Prior to the establishment
of the United States, Blackstone said in his commentaries: "If a man counterfeits
the King's money; and if a man brings false money into the realm counterfeit
to the money of England, knowing the money to be false." As to the first
branch, counterfeiting the King's money; this is treason, whether the false
money be uttered in payment or not.
Also if the King's own ministers
alter the standard of alloy established by law, it is treason."
1781: George Washington wrote
to John Laurens and said:
"Experience has demonstrated the impracticability long to maintain a paper
credit without funds for its redemption."

to break off the treaty because
Americans have failed to comply with the treaty, by having

of the States to discharge their debts on a basis which was
sometimes a thousand to one.
1786: The board of Treasury in
1786 condemned paper currency "the revival
of a paper currency and the rage for another experiment in
this fallacious medium that has so far prevailed as to enter
into the system of revenue of several
States"
1787: During the federal convention,
Roger Sherman made the statement
that: "no Government has a right to impose on its subjects
any foreign currency to be received in payments as money
which is not of intrinsic value:
unless such Government will assume
and undertake to secure and make good to the possessor of
such currency the full value which
they oblige him to receive it
for."
JANUARY 27, 1787: Shays rebellion
took place because of financial depression.
JANUARY 14, 1790: Treasury Secretary
Alexander Hamilton says the United
States should pay its debts at par value, even though many
speculators would profit by this.[As
a footnote Alexander Hamilton
married into the Rothschild family December 14, 1780, Alexander
Hamilton was born Alexander Levine, of Jewish lineage, in
St. Croix, the West Indies. After changing his name and his
geographical situs, he married Elizabeth
Schuyler, the second daughter
of Phillip Schuyler, at the bride's home in Albany, New York.
The bride's mother was Catherine Van Rensselaer, daughter
of Colonel John R. Van Rensselaer,
who was the son of Hendrik, the
grandson of Killiaen, the first partroon. [THE
INTIMATE LIFE OF ALEXANDER HAMILTON, by Allan Hamilton 1910]
[It has been reported that there
are documents in the British museum
that prove Alexander Hamilton received payment from the Rothschild's
for his dastardly deeds. Could this payment have been
for his involvement in the establishment of a foreign bank
in this country, and for convincing
Congress to assume the States debts,
which would have created a debt obligation binding the United States government
and the States to the international bankers?]
JUNE 20, 1790: Alexander Hamilton
convinces Congress to pass the Assumption
Act, under which the federal government is to assume the
States debts.
DECEMBER 14, 1790: Alexander
Hamilton submits a plan for a bank of

Committee said: "That the consequences
of the present, is that the currency of the United States
is bank notes, to the exclusion of the precious metals. The
exclusion of gold and silver coins from circulation is a
serious defect, which ought not
to be tolerated, and which should be
speedily remedied. There is not an example on record of the
successful issue of a paper currency,
and our experiment has been too
short and dubious to prove its suitableness as a permanent
regulation."

the charter of the Bank of the United
States is submitted by Congress.

federal deposits should be removed
from the Bank of the United States.
DECEMBER 26, 1833: Senator Henry
Clay offers two resolutions of censure
against President Jackson for his plan to remove deposits
from the Bank of the United States.
MARCH 17, 1834: Representative
Gillet, a member of the Banking Select
Committee, concurred in the expediency of increasing the
circulation of gold coin, arguing
that, "under the paper system, banks
have broken, and on whom did the loss most severely fall?
Upon the poor, who understood little
of the condition and credit of
banks. The wealthy usually foresaw the evil and protected
themselves."

DECEMBER 5, 1836: President Andrew
Jackson said in his message to Congress:
"It is apparent from the whole context of the Constitution
as well as the history of the times which gave birth to
it, that it was the purpose of the Convention to establish a
currency consisting of the precious
metals. These were adopted by
a per-exchange, such as of certain agricultural commodities
recognized by the statutes of some
States as tender for debts, or the
still more pernicious expedient of paper currency."

a National Banking system.
1864: The Coinage Act of 1834
had the purpose of striking a fatal blow
at the ability of banks to sustain a circulation of small
denomination paper currencies. The
invalid conclusion that the legal-tender
acts of the Civil War were constitutional because they
effected through a paper medium the same type of "debasement",
which no one " ever imagined was taking private property
without compensation or without due process of law".
APRIL 14, 1865: A short time
after President Lincoln orders the Lincoln
greenbacks to be printed; which would deprive the banks from
charging interest on the money they would have printed, President
Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth. It's been
proven this was a conspiracy because of the other four men
who were involved in the assassination,
and it has also been established
that these men were on the payroll of the Rothschild's.
OCTOBER 31, 1865: The public
debt of the United States stands at over
seventy dollars per capita.
MARCH 18, 1869: Congress passes
the public Credit Act to pay the public
debt in gold, leaving three hundred million in greenbacks
and a bitter debate about redeeming
them.
JULY 28, 1868: The Fourteenth
Amendment is enacted, which not only
created federal citizenship, it also made it illegal for
federal citizens to question the
federal debt. [clause four 14th
Amendment]
SEPTEMBER 24, 1869: On this "Black
Friday" a financial panic occurs
after two stock gamblers, Jay Gould and James Fisk, try to
organize a corner on the gold market.
The Grant administration dumps
four million dollars in gold on the market, the price falls
in fifteen minutes from one hundred
and sixty two dollars to one hundred
and thirty three dollars and many investors are ruined.
1873: The historian, William
Graham Sumner explained that: "The popular
mind rests on instances like our continental money, as showing
the error of paper money where it absolutely perishes. It
is thought that, short of this, only alarmists see danger.
The story of Austria shows that
an irredeemable paper currency is a
national calamity of the first magnitude, of which one may
indeed find greater or lesser examples,
but of which the least is a
peremptory warning to statesmen and financiers. It is like a
disease in the blood, undermining
the Constitution and spreading decay
through all the arteries of business. In its measure and
according to circumstances it is
pernicious, if not fatal."

AUGUST 19, 1877: In a speech
made by the Secretary of Treasury John
Sherman, he said: "There is a large class of people who believe
that paper can be, and ought to be, made into money without
any promise or hope of redemption; that a note should be
printed: "This is a dollar," and
be made a legal tender. I regard
this as a mild form of lunacy, and have no disposition to
debate with men who indulge in such
delusions, which have prevailed
to some extent, at different times, in all countries, but
whose life has been brief, and which have shared the fate of
other popular delusions. The Supreme
Court only maintained the constitutionality
of the legal tender promise to pay a dollar by a
divided court, and on the ground that it was issued in the
nature of a forced loan, to be redeemed
upon the payment of a real
dollar; that is, so many grains of silver or gold. I therefore
dismiss such wild theories, and speak only to those who are
willing to assume, as an axiom, that gold and silver or coined
money, have been proven by all human experience to be the
best possible standards of value,
and that paper money is simply a
promise to pay such coined money, and should be made and kept
equal to coined money, by being
convertible on demand. [emphasis mine]
JANUARY 1885: The Treasury surplus

time in public subscription totaling one hundred million
dollars, federal treasury reserves

dollars which is considered so low as to endanger the continuance
of the gold standard.
MARCH 14, 1900: Congress passes
the Gold Standard Act, under which

market.
OCTOBER-NOVEMBER 1907: A run
begins on October 23rd on the Knickerbocker

Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States is declared in effect. [As a footnote: This
amendment did not confer any new
power of taxation on Congress and
did not extend the power of taxation to subjects previously
exempted. Its whole purpose was
to exclude the source from which income
tax is a direct tax which must be apportioned among the states,
and thus remove the occasion which might otherwise exist
for an apportionment. [27th American
Jurisprudence, Section 17, pages
317, 318.] "The source of the taxing power is not the 16th
Amendment, it is Article I, Section
8 of the Constitution." [Penn
Mutual Indemnity Co. v. Commissioner, 32 T.C. 1959, CCH at
pg. 659.]

use of paper money the United States
had to be declared bankrupt, which was proven by the bankruptcy
procedures that were followed in President Roosevelt's Executive
Orders. President Roosevelt declared the United States bankrupt
by Presidential Executive Order, 6073 and the subsequent
Executive Orders, 6102, 6111 and
6260.[these documents are still publicly
attainable in any federal depository library]
MAY 23, 1933: On the House floor,
Congressman Mcfadden brought impeachment
charges against many of the federal reserve board members,
federal reserve agents of many States, comptroller of the

for high crimes and misdemeanors, including the theft of
eighty billion dollars from the
United States Government and with committing
the same thefts in 1929, 1930, 1931, 1932 and 1933 and in
the years previous to 1928, amounting to billions of dollars.
These charges were remanded to
the Judiciary committee for investigation,

does this not make the federal reserve
unconstitutional [illegal]?
[Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United
States, 295 U.S. 495 1934]
AUGUST 14, 1935: The Social Security
Act [Federal Insurance Contribution
Act] becomes law, the American people are told this is
a insurance policy. This is actually an agreement between you
and the United States government
where you have agreed under tort law

are a wrong doer under the definition
of the word contribution, as
it is used by the government. [see the word contribution and

NOVEMBER 28, 1961: President
Kennedy "reached the decision that silver
metal should gradually be withdrawn from our monetary reserves."
1963: Six days prior to President
John F. Kennedy being assassinated,
he ordered the Treasury to print United States Notes
to be used as legal tender, a limited amount were printed
before his untimely death. This
action would have put the federal
reserve out of business because they would no longer be able
to collect interest on the money they would have printed.
This would have eventually removed
the financial and political control
the international bankers had over this country. Ten days
prior to his assassination President Kennedy said "The high
office of President has been used
to foment a plot to destroy the American's
freedom, and before I leave office I must inform the citizen
of his plight."
NOVEMBER 22, 1963: President
John F. Kennedy is assassinated. One
of the first acts President Johnson orders is the reversal of
the order President Kennedy had
made, which had allowed the printing
of United States Notes without interest. Was President Kennedy
assassinated for the same reasons as President Lincoln?
NOVEMBER 26, 1963: Prior to this
date the federal reserve notes were
a promise to pay and were redeemable on demand by the bearer
for lawful money. After President
Johnson's order to remove the United
States notes, the Federal Reserve issued federal reserve
notes without the promise to pay
to the bearer on demand lawful money.
Interestingly, the first fifty million no-promise federal
reserve notes were shipped out the
same day that President John F.
Kennedy was buried.

At the Constitutional Convention
Benjamin Franklin felt there
was too much preoccupation with salaries. He therefore addressed
the Constitutional Convention: "Sir, though we may set out
in the beginning with moderate salaries, we shall find that
such will not be of long continuance.
Reasons will never be wanting
for proposed augmentations; and there will always be party
for giving more to the ruler, that the rulers may be able
to return to give more to them.
Hence, as all history informs us,
there has been in every State and kingdom a constant kind of
warfare between the governing and
the governed, the one striving to obtain more for its support, and the
other to pay less. And this
has alone occasioned great convulsions, actual civil wars,
ending either in dethroning of the
princes or enslaving the people.
Generally, indeed, the ruling power carries its point, and
we see the revenues of princes constantly increasing, and we
see that they are never satisfied,
but always in want of more. The
more the people are discontented with the oppression of taxes,
the greater need the prince has of money to distribute among
his partisans, and pay the troops that are to suppress all
resistance, and enable him to plunder
at pleasure."
"Sir, the saving of the salaries,
that may at first be proposed,
is not an object with me. The subsequent mischiefs of proposing
them are that I apprehend. And therefore it is that I move
the amendment. If it is not seconded or accepted, I must be
contented with the satisfaction
of having delivered my opinion frankly,
and done my duty."
The highly qualified language
of Article I 8, cl.2 also repels
the clause empowers Congress "To borrow money on the credit
of the United States" only. A forced loan, however, implies
that the government has no credit in the eyes of reluctant
lenders, and that it must compel the latter to part with
their money because it can no longer convince them of its
ability and intention to repay full
value at a future time.
Davy Crockett, while serving
as a Congressman helped fight a fire
one night that broke out in a suburb of Washington. The next
morning the Congress voted twenty thousand dollars to assist
those whose homes were destroyed.
Crockett voted for it. However,
when he went home he found himself in deep trouble with one
of his constituents named Horatio Bunce. Bunce commended him
for the anxiety to help the victims
of the fire but scolded him for
using other people's money as "charity." He challenged Crockett
to find where the Constitution allowed Congress to spend
one penny of other people's money
for charity. Crockett couldn't think
of any such provision. Crockett returned to Congress and
ran into a similar situation. Congress
wanted to give a substantial
sum to the widow of a distinguished naval officer who had
just died. Crockett took the floor and said: "Mr. Speaker, I
have as much sympathy as any man
in the House, but Congress has no
power to appropriate this money as an act of charity. Every
member upon this floor knows it....I
am the poorest man on this floor.
I cannot vote for this bill, but I will give one week's pay
to the object, and if every member of Congress will do the
same, it will amount to more than
the bill asks." Mr. Crockett took
his seat and the bill was defeated but none of the wealthy
Congressman offered to meet his
plea to donate one weeks pay to the
widow.
A contemporary of the Revolution,
Peletiah Webster said: "Paper
money polluted the equity of our laws, turned them into engines
of oppression, corrupted the justice of our public administration,
destroyed the fortunes of thousands who had confidence
in it, enervated the trade, husbandry, and manufactures
of our country, and went far to destroy the morality of
our people."
Bruce A. Budlong, the acting
director of the special financing
staff of the Department of Treasury said: "The same monetary
system that was established on April 2, 1792, is in effect
today."
Jefferson strongly opposed a
perennial national debt: "The question,
whether one generation of men has a right to bind another,
is a question of such consequences as not only to merit decision,
but place also among the fundamental principles of every
government. The course of reflection in which we are immersed
here [France] on the elementary principles of society has
presented this question to my mind; and that no such obligation
can be transmitted, I think very capable of proof. I set
out on this ground, which I suppose to be self-evident: that
the earth belongs in usufruct to
the living; that the dead have neither
powers nor rights over it. If [one generation] could charge
another with a debt, then the earth would belong to the dead
and not to the living generation. Then, no generation can
contract debts greater than may
be paid during the course of its own
existence."
Jefferson said: "I am not among
those who fear the people. They,
and not the rich, are our dependence for continued freedom.
And to preserve their independence,
we must not let our rulers load
us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between
economy and liberty or profusion
and servitude. If we run into such
debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink,
in our necessaries and our comforts,
in our labors and our amusements,
for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England
are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours
in the twenty-four, and give the earnings of fifteen of these
to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and
the sixteenth being insufficient
to afford us bread, we must live,
as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes; have not time to
think, no means of calling the mismanager's
to account; but be glad
to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their
chains on the necks of our fellow
sufferers. This example reads to
us the salutary lesson that private fortunes are destroyed by
public as well as by private extravagance.
And this is the tendency
of all human governments. Departure from principle in one
instance becomes a precedent for a second, that second for a
third, and so on, till the bulk
of the society is reduced to be mere
automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for
sinning and suffering. Then begins
indeed the bellum omnium in omnia
which some philosophers, observing it to be so general in
this world, have mistaken for the
natural instead of the abusive state
of man. And the forehorse of this frightful team is public
debt. Taxation follows that, and
in its train wretchedness and oppression."
Ellsworth said during the Convention:
"Thought this a favorable
moment to shut and bar the door against paper money. The
mischiefs of the various experiments which had been made were
now fresh in the public mind, and
had excited the disgust of all the
respectable part of America. By withholding the power from
the new government, more friends
of influence would be gained to it
money can in no case be necessary. Give the government credit,
and other resources will offer. The power may do harm, never
good."
Wilson said during the Convention:
"It will have a most salutary influence of the credit of the United States
to remove the possibility of paper money. This expedient can never succeed
whilst its mischiefs are remembered. And as long as it can be resorted
to, it will be a bar to her resources."
Butler said during the Convention:
"That paper was a legal tender in no country in Europe. He was urgent for
disarming the government of such a power."
Today the American economy operates
under a monetary system which is completely outside the Constitution. Its
fiat money is continually manipulated both in value and in quantity. [THE
MAKING OF AMERICA 1985]
The definition of fiat money
is: "money composed of otherwise essentially valueless things that neither
have a commercial use nor constitute a claim against anyone, but do have
a special legal qualification. The money is not the material bearing the
stamp as authority but the stamp alone."
C.C. Pinckney said during the
Convention: "That paper money corrupted the morals of the people; it had
diverted them from the paths of honest industry to the ways of ruinous
speculation; it had destroyed both public and private credit, and had brought
total ruin on numberless widows and orphans."
"I apprehend these general reasoning
will be found true with respect to paper money: that experience has shown
that, in every state where it has been practiced since the revolution,
it always carries the gold and silver out of the country, and impoverishes
it."
Sherman said during the Convention:
"This was a favorable crisis for crushing paper money. If the consent of
the legislature could authorize emissions of it, the friends of paper money
would make every exertion to get into the legislature in order to license
it."
T. Coleman Andrews served as
Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service for nearly three years in
the early fifties. Finally he resigned and made the following statement:
"The income tax is fulfilling the Marxist prophecy that the surest way
to destroy a capitalist society is by steeply graduated taxes on income
and heavy levies upon the estates of people when they die.
As matters now stand, if our
children make the most of their capabilities and training they will have
to give most of it to the tax collector and so become slaves of the government.
People cannot pull themselves up by their own bootstraps anymore because
the tax collector gets the boots and the straps as well. The income tax
is bad because it is oppressive to all and discriminates particularly against
those people who prove themselves most adept at keeping the wheels of business
turning and creating maximum employment and high standard of living for
their fellow men. I believe that a better way to raise revenue must be
found because I am convinced that the present system is leading us right
back to the very tyranny from which those, who established this land of
freedom, risked their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to forever
free themselves."
The American historian George
Bancroft said: "History cannot name a man who has gained enduring honor
by causing the issue of paper money. Wherever such paper has been employed,
it has in every case thrown upon its authors the burden of exculpation
under the plea of pressing necessity. Paper money has no hold, and from
its very nature can acquire no hold, on the conscience or affections of
the people. It impairs all certainty of possession, and taxes none so heavily
as the class who earn their scant possession, by daily labor. It injures
the husbandman by a twofold diminution of the exchangeable value of his
harvest. It is the favorite of those who seek gain without willingness
t toil; it is the deadly foe of industry. No powerful political party ever
permanently rested for support on the theory that it is wise and right.
No statesman has been thought well of by his kind in a succeeding generation
for having been its promoter."
This is what the Lord had to
say about usury in Exodus 22:25:
{25} "If you lend money to one
of my people among you who is needy, do not be like a moneylender; charge
him no interest."
Leviticus 25:35-37:
{35} "If one of your countrymen
becomes poor and is unable to support himself among you, help him as you
would an alien or a temporary resident, so he can continue to live among
you."
{36} "Do not take interest of
any kind from him, but fear your God, so that your countryman may continue
to live among you".
{37} "You must not lend him money
at interest or sell him food at a profit."
Deuteronomy 23:19-20:
{19} "Do not charge your brother
interest, whether on money or food or anything else that may earn interest."
{20} "You may charge a foreigner
interest, but not a brother Israelite, so that the LORD your God may bless
you in everything you put your hand to in the land you are entering to
possess."
Psalms 15:5:
{5} "Who lends his money without
usury and does not accept a bribe against the innocent. He who does these
things will never be shaken."
Ezekiel 18:8:
{8} "He does not lend at usury
or take excessive interest. He withholds his hand from doing wrong and
judges fairly between man and man."
Ezekiel 18:13:
{13} "He lends at usury and takes
excessive interest. Will such a man live? He will not! Because he has done
all these detestable things, he will surely be put to death and his blood
will be on his own head."
Ezekiel 18:17:
{17} "He withholds his hand from
sin and takes no usury or excessive interest. He keeps my laws and
follows my decrees. He will not die for his father's sin; he will surely
live."
Ezekiel 22:12:
{12} "In you men accept bribes
to shed blood; you take usury and excessive interest and make unjust gain
from your neighbors by extortion. And you have forgotten me, declares the
Sovereign LORD."
The definition of usury is: "Interest;
or premium paid or stipulated to be paid for the use of money.[Noah Webster
1828] In the Hebrew the word usury means; "interest."
By a preponderance of the evidence;
even if you don't recognize the teachings from the Bible, you cannot deny
the mindset of our forefathers that I have laid before you. It's quite
clear they wanted this country to abstain from the use and adoption of
paper money. If you will read the money clauses in
the United States Constitution
it will be obvious to you that their intent was to prevent the use of paper
money.
So what happened? The international
bankers were able to position men that were indebted to them in all areas
of the government, including the judiciary. Also, with their unlimited
money sources they were able to affect world events including the wars
of the past and up through Desert Storm. Just stop and
think, and look back through
history, and you'll see what I'm saying is correct. Am I laying all the
blame on the bankers? Not at all. Their plan could not have succeeded without
the greed of man and his love for money. The internationalist plans are
nearly complete. What are their goals? World domination and the ownership
of its people.
"At what point shall we expect
the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall
we expect some trans-Atlantic military giant to step the ocean and crush
us with a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined
could not, by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the
Blue Ridge in a trail of a thousand years. At what point then is the approach
of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring
up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we
ourselves must be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men, we
must live through all times, or die by suicide."(Abraham Lincoln)
"If you will not fight for the
right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight
when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the
moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only
a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have
to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish
than to live as slaves." (Winston Churchill)
Unfortunately this country and
its people played a deciding role in their plans. Without this governments
resources and the country's manpower and blind obedience they could not
have succeeded. Our forefathers share the greater share of the blame, because
in their era the balance of power was not so overwhelming in the hands
of the government. Apathy about what the king was doing behindd closed
doors has created ou predicament, past and present.
The government has clearly violated
the Constitution and the mind set of our forefathers regarding the use
of paper money. As a result this Country was bankrupted by 1933 and as
a corporation the government defaulted its right to govern; and by continuing
to do so, is operating under color of law. Since that time this country
has received its just reward just like our forefathers predicted. The nation
has become immoral as a result and the taxes unbearable to the middle class
and the poor. Because of the government representatives, who are foreign
agents that represent the international bankers not the Americans, this
country is under a Foreign King. This Nation is still under British rule.
The United Nations is a front for the King to control the world. The United
Nations was granted its power by the United States and other member nations.
The Rockefeller's gave the United Nations then land on which it operates,
the United States voluntarily became subservient to the United Nations
in October 24, 1945. It also granted this foreign organization a Title
of Nobility, which is expressly forbidden by the Constitution. This was
all done while the American people sat back and watched in an inebriated
state, enjoying the social benefits.
"Everyone wants to live at the
expense of the State. They forget that the State lives at the expense of
everyone." (Frederic Bastiat)
Can this government be saved?
Doubtful. The slate needs to be wiped clean, and begun a new with a fresh
start. This time without paper money, we need to go back to a gold and
silver standard like our forefathers wanted. You may choose to disagree
with the statements I've made at the end of this paper. But, when this
government collapses of its own accord like our forefathers predicted,
and like God Almighty predicted in His written Word, maybe then you will
believe, if you are still alive.
[As a footnote: Jonathan Williams
recorded in his book Legions of Satan, 1781, that Cornwallis revealed
to Washington during his surrender that "a holy war will now begin on America,
and when it is ended America will be supposedly the citadel of freedom,
but her millions will unknowingly be loyal subjects to the Crown." Cornwallis
went on to explain what would seem to be a self contradiction: "Your churches
will be used to teach the Jew's religion and in less than two hundred years
the whole nation will be working for divine world government. That government
that they believe to be divine will be the British Empire. All religions
will be permeated with Judaism without even being noticed by the masses,
and they will all be under the invisible all-seeing eye on the Grand Architect
of Freemasonry."
Watch for "A COUNTRY DEFEATED
IN VICTORY" to be released in early 1994.
