I quote Benjamin Franklin directly on this matter of money control.

The colonies would gladly have born the little tax on tea and other matters had it not been that England took a way from the colonies their money, which created unemployment and dissatisfaction. The inability of the colonists to get power to issue their own money permanently out of the hands of George III and the international bankers was the prime reason for the Revolutionary War.

- Benjamin Franklin's autobiography

Anál nathrach, orth***8217; bháis***8217;s bethad, do chél dénmha

Serpent's andetag, charm död och liv, thy omen att göra.

Thomas Jefferson knew the real truth. So why can't you figure it out?

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and the corporations which gro up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on he contitnent their fathers conquered.

- Thomas Jefferson

Stonewall Jackson met heavy resistance in bringing down the banks, he had minimal support from the public. Now you have a generation who have grown up conditioned to believe private central banks are a good idea and necessary.

These things go in cycles. You were born into a bad one and you are unlikely to see it change in your lifetime. In time people will realize what is wrong and be forced into action when they have finally had enough and then they will do something about it. It is a slow moving machine with lots of momentum, it takes years and years to get into gear.
