A COUNTRY DEFEATED IN VICTORY

To understand the title of this paper you must be made
aware
that the country I refer to is the United States. Very
few
Americans are aware of the defeat of which it is my
obligation to
inform you of. President Lincoln very wisely said
and correctly
so, I might add, that:

"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 trial 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."1

Thomas Jefferson said: "I believe that banking
institutions
are more dangerous to our liberties than standing
armies."2

These patriarch's of our country understood the dangers
of
banking and the men that controlled the banking
institutions.
The enemy that defeated this country from the very
beginning was
the debt created by the use of paper money instead
of gold and
silver coin. The use of differing weights and
measures caused
this country to fall prey to the international
bankers. Prior to
the Constitution being written the States
printed paper money to
finance the Revolutionary War. At the end
of the war the new
United States found itself bankrupted by a
huge debt. Our
forefathers made it clear because of their
experience and those
of other countries that we should never use
paper money again.

RECHARTER OF THE BANK BILL,
(1809)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

"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."3 (John Adams)

"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."4 (Count Destutt de Tracy)

"If ever again our nation stumbles upon unfunded paper,
it
shall surely be like death to our body politic. This
country
will crash."5 (George Washington)

"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."6 (C.C. Pinckney)

During the formation of the Constitution there were
pro-paper
and anti-paper money advocates at work. The strongest
proponent
for the use of paper money, and the establishment of
the first
bank of the United States, was Alexander Hamilton.
Many of our
forefathers, including Thomas Jefferson were against
the use of
paper money and the establishment of a central bank.
The
proponents for paper money said this would be more cost
effective
and convenient than using silver and gold coin. Those
against the
use of paper money said this would ruin the country
through debt,
and plunge this country into bankruptcy, and make
the Americans
subject to the bankers.

"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."7
(Thomas Jefferson)

"On February 15, 1791 Jefferson wrote Washington to tell
him
his objections of the establishment of a National
Bank.
The bill for establishing a National Bank undertakes
among
other things:
1. To form the subscribers into a
corporation.
2. To enable them in their corporate capacities to
receive grants
of land; and so far is against the laws of
mortmain.
3. To make alien subscribers capable of holding lands;
and so far
is against the laws of alienage.
4. To transmit
these lands, on the death of a proprietor, to a
certain line of
successors; and so far changes the course of
descents.
5. To
put the lands out of the reach of forfeiture or escheat;
and so
far is against the laws of forfeiture and escheat.
6. To transmit
personal chattels to successors in a certain line;
and so far is
against the laws of distribution.
7. To give them the sole and
exclusive right of banking under the
national authority; and so
far is against the laws of monopoly.
8. To communicate to them a
power to make laws paramount to the
laws of the States; for so
they must be construed, to protect the
institutions from the
control of the State legislatures; and so,
probably, they will be
construed.
I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid
on
this ground; That "all powers not delegated to the United
States,
by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States,
are
reserved to the States or to the people."
To take a single
step beyond the boundaries thus specially
drawn around the powers
of Congress, is to take possession of a
boundless field of power,
no longer susceptible of any
definition.
The incorporation of
a bank, and the powers assumed by this
bill, have not, in my
opinion, been delegated to the United
States, by the
Constitution.
Can it be thought that the Constitution intended
that for a
shade or two of convenience, more or less, Congress
should be
authorized to break down the most ancient and
fundamental laws of
the several States; such as those against
mortmain, the laws of
alienage, the rules of descent, the acts of
distribution, the
laws of escheat and forfeiture, the laws of
monopoly?"8

8. WORDS THAT MADE AMERICAN HISTORY, p.
184
-----------------------------------------------------------------

What did Jefferson mean by the word mortmain? This is a
law
that was passed prior to the Magna Charta. The reason this
law
was created by the King of England was to protect his land.
When
the Church gained status in England, the people began to
will
their land to the Church in exchange for the promise that
the
Church would pray their souls out of hell. The public
lands
began to disappear so the King enacted this law to protect
his
land. What the law in effect said was that no one could
deed
land to the Church without a license from the King.
This
definition was later extended to include corporations.
Jefferson
said that because we were the sovereigns, Congress was
subject to
us, they had no right to give a corporate charter to
the Bank of
the United States placing our land in dead hands
(unable to be
purchased again by the public), since Congress had
not been given
this power under the Constitution. Any powers not
given to
Congress by the Constitution were reserved by the
several States
and the American People. Jefferson knew that if
this charter was
given, the public lands would soon belong to the
Bankers. As
Thomas Jefferson said, this was a most ancient and
fundamental
law of the Thirteen States. Can our land be reclaimed
by the law
of mortmain? I don't know yet, but it bears looking
into. Only
sovereigns, that are Sui Juris, Freemen and
Freeholders of their
property, can bring such a suit. I know from
studying
Blackstone's writings on mortmain that only a freeman
has a
remedy and can bring the common law writ of Quo Warranto.
Quo
Warranto means:

"A writ brought before a proper tribunal, to inquire by
what
warrant a person or corporation exercises certain
powers."9
(Blackstone Commentaries)

Upon ratification of the Constitution, it had appeared
that
those who opposed paper money had won. The money clauses of
the
Constitution made it unlawful to coin anything except gold
and
silver. However, there was a fatal flaw in the
Constitution.
The words of the Constitution were twisted by
lawyer legalize,
and

power was claimed by Congress, that was not granted to them
by
the Constitution or the men that wrote the
Constitution.
Congress was granted exclusive jurisdiction over
the District of
Columbia and its territories, no more, no less.
It will be shown
in this paper, how Congress extended by
legislation its territory
to include the fifty States. Imagine
the District of Columbia as
a umbrella and that Congress opened
this umbrella in order to
cover the fifty States.

"To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases
whatsoever,
over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square)
as may, by
Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of
Congress,
become the Seat of the Government of the United States,
and to
exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the
Consent
of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall
be, for
the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards,
and other
needful Buildings; and...to make all laws which shall
be
necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the
foregoing
Powers, and all other Powers vested by this
Constitution in the
Government of the United States, or in any
Department or Office
thereof". (Article One, Section Eight,
Paragraph Sixteen and
Seventeen of the U.S. Constitution)

"The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make
all
needed Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or
other
Property belonging to the United States; and nothing in
this
Constitution shall be construed as to Prejudice any Claims
of the
United States, or of any particular State." (Article Four
Section
Three, Paragraph Two of the U.S. Constitution)

Hamilton suggested that the word proper gave Congress
the
power under the Constitution to charter the Bank of the
United
States. Thomas Jefferson said in disagreement that:

"The second general phrase is, "to make all laws necessary
and
proper for carrying into execution the enumerated powers."
But
they can all be carried into execution without a bank. A
bank
therefore is not necessary, and consequently not authorized
by
this phrase.

It has been urged that a bank will give great facility
or
convenience in the collection of taxes. Suppose this were
true:
yet the Constitution allows only the means which are
"necessary,"
not those which are merely "convenient" for
effecting the
enumerated powers."10 (Thomas Jefferson)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

WORDS THAT MADE AMERICAN HISTORY, p.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Jefferson lost his debate with Hamilton concerning
the
establishment of the Bank of the United States.
Jefferson
believed the Constitution was a exclusive not a
inclusive
document and was meant to be a restriction on Congress.
This
began the legal precedent of Congress and the Courts
claiming
power not granted to them by the Citizens of the
States.
Jefferson and the other sponsors of the Tenth Amendment
thought
this Amendment would be enough to check the power
hungry
Congress, but they were wrong. Congress's assumption
of
un-delegated powers made the following possible.

There were two governments created by the Constitution,
the
following definitions will prove that one was bound by
the
Constitution, the other was not.

The term "United States" may be used in any one of
several
senses. It may be merely the name of a sovereign
occupying the
position analogous to that of other sovereigns in
the family of
nations. It may designate the territory over which
the
sovereignty of the United States extends, or it may be
the
collective name of the states which are united by and under
the
Constitution.(fn 6) Hooven & Allison Co. v. Evatt (1944)
324 U.S.
652, 671, 89 L.Ed. 1252, 1267 Black's Law Dictionary,
6th Ed.

In exercising this power, Congress is not subject to the
same
constitutional limitations, as when it is legislating for
the
United States. ...And in general the guaranties of
the
Constitution, save as they are limitations upon the exercise
of
executive and legislative power when exerted for or over
our
insular possessions, extend to them only as Congress, in
the
exercise of its legislative power over territory belonging to
the
United States, has made those guarantees
applicable.
[Hooven & Allison & Co. vs Evatt, 324 U.S.
652 (1945)

The idea prevails with some indeed, it found expression
in
arguments at the bar that we have in this country
substantially
or practically two national governments; one to be
maintained
under the Constitution, with all its restrictions; the
other to
be maintained by Congress outside and independently of
that
instrument, by exercising such powers as other nations of
the
earth are accustomed to exercise.
It will be an evil day
for American liberty if the theory of
a government outside of the
supreme law of the land finds
lodgment in our constitutional
jurisprudence. No higher duty
rests upon this court than to exert
its full authority to prevent
all violation of the principles of
the Constitution.
[Downes vs Bidwell, 182 U.S. 244
(1901)](Dissenting opinion)

Nothing in this Covenant requires or authorizes
legislation,
or other action, by the United States of America
prohibited by
the Constitution of the United States as
interpreted by the
United States. (INTERNATIONAL COVENANT ON
CIVIL AND POLITICAL
RIGHTS.) 102d Congress 2d Session, Exec.
Rept. 102-23 January 30,
1992 (See: page 24.)

When President Washington agreed with Hamilton to create
a
Bank of the United States this countries fate was sealed.
With
Congress acting under its insular capacity, not restrained
by the
Constitution or the Bill of Rights, their only concern
then
became the furtherance of commerce, not the rights of
Americans.
The actions of Hamilton were directly responsible for
the defeat
of the American people. The American people over the
course of
our history have seen the events that enslaved them
without
realizing their enslavement, because their ability to buy
and
sell was never taken away.

"Our rulers will become corrupt, our people careless...
the
time for fixing every essential right on a legal basis is
[now]
while our rulers are honest, and ourselves united. From
the
conclusion of this war we shall be going downhill. It will
not
then be necessary to resort every moment to the people
for
support. They will be forgotten, therefore, and their
rights
disregarded. They will forget themselves, but in the
sole
faculty of making money, and will never think of uniting
to
effect a due respect for their rights. The shackles,
therefore,
which shall not be knocked off at the conclusion of
this war,
will remain on us long, will be made heavier and
heavier, till
our rights shall revive or expire in a
convulsion."11 (Thomas
Jefferson)

The American people were unaware of the hidden intent of
the
bankers and the liability and obligation for taking their
money.
The American people were not aware of the diabolical plot
to take
away their freedom, nor were they aware of the men
responsible
for their enslavement. The purpose of this paper is
to expose
and unmask the men behind the defeat and enslavement of
the
American people.

Who were these people? Why weren't the American people
listening
to the encroachment on their freedom?

To deny the identity of these bankers would be to
deny
history. It is not anti-semitic to reveal the truth, and
the
factthat those behind the defeat of America are a few
power
hungry Jews. True there are non-Jews involved, but
the
controlling power are those that control the worlds
finances.
This paper is impartial, it has not been colored for or
against
any group of people. Jesus said: "Ye shall know them by
their
fruits". The following pages are merely the fruits of
our
history.

The first recorded Jewish settler in Manhattan was a man
named
Jacob Barsimson who arrived early in 1654. He was an
Ashkenazic,
or German Jew.

When the Jews came to New York, it was considered among
such
families as the Roosevelts, the Van Rensselaers, the
Goelets, and
the Morrises, not to be Jewish. The Sephardic
families of New
York, descended from the St. Charles arrivals
(also known as the
Jewish Mayflower), include the Straus', the
Warburgs, the
Aldrichs, the Kuhns, the Loebs, the Lehmans, the
Morgans, the
Schiffs, the Hendrickses, the Cardozos, the Baruchs,
the
Lazaruses, the Nathans, the Solises, the Gomezes, the
Lopezes,
the Lindos, the Lombrosos, and the Seixases. The
Roosevelts,
Bayards, Van Cortlandts, and Rhinelanders were in the
sugar
refining business. The Rhinelanders also sold crockery, and
the
Schuylers were importers. The Verplancks were traders,
and
Clarksons and Beekmans and Van Zandts were in the retail
dry
goods business. The Brevoorts and Goelets were ironmongers,
and
the Schermerhorns were ship chandlers. The Guggenheims are
proud
to say that they started on foot and, amassed what may have
been
the greatest single fortune in America. The only fortune
that
may outweigh the Guggenheims' is that of John D.
Rockefeller.
Records place Guggenheims in Lengnau in Canton
Aargau in German
speaking northern Switzerland, as early as 1696.
A document of
that year refers to "der Jud" Maran Guggenheimb von
Lengnau" and
the family had probably come to Lengnau from a
German town called
Guggenheimb (now Jugenheim), near Heidelberg.
The Seligmans were
a major American banking family. Haym Solomon,
who had come from
Poland, worked closely with William Morris and
the Continental
Congress as a broker, and helped raise a
particularly large sum
for the Revolution. For his services he
was given the official
title of "Broker to the Office of
Finance." Even earlier, Jewish
bankers had lent money to Lord
Bellamont, a particularly
improvident eighteenth century colonial
Governor of New York,
helping to keep the colony financially on
its feet, and New
York's first Lutheran church was built with
money advanced by
Jewish bankers among them Isaac Moses, who
helped establish the
Bank of North America in 1781. These are
some of the main
players (all of whom are Jews) in the deceit and
treachery to
enslave all non-Jews in America, who I might add
took them in
spite of their history that proceeded them. The
facts that
follow expose what went on behind the scenes.

They have referred to themselves as "the One Hundred,"
as
opposed to "the Four Hundred." The One Hundred are a core
group
of Jews with German roots, the Four Hundred are also Jews,
but
are considered to be beneath the One Hundred in status and
mental
ability. The Seligmans were the elite of the One Hundred.
They
have been called the "Jewish Grand Dukes," The One
Hundred
considered themselves to be the elite of the human race
and that
all non-Jews are to be despised and are meant to be
their slaves.
Their Jewish talmud (their religion) makes this
fact clear.
Their arrival in America began in the 1600s.

As I said earlier, Alexander Hamilton was relentless in
his
pursuit of establishing the first Bank of the United States
and
the continued use of the international bankers money.
Was
Alexander Hamilton who he claimed to be, a loyal American, or
was
he an agent working for the international bankers? The only
way
to find out is to examine known history. Alexander Hamilton
was
born Alexander Levine, of Jewish lineage, in St. Croix, the
West
Indies.12

-----------------------------------------------------------------

A SHORT HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN NATION, p. 95,
96
-----------------------------------------------------------------

After changing his name and his geographical situs, he
entered
the United States military, he was a staff duty officer
for
General George Washington. Hamilton emerged from
the
Revolutionary War as a lieutenant colonel and on December
14,
1780 he married the second daughter of General Philip
Schuyler's,
at the bride's home in Albany, New York. General
Philip
Schuyler's influence in New York politics was great. 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.13 (Heir to Baron Van
Rothschild)

As Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton's foremost
objective
was to make sure that there could be no doubt about
the
determination of the United States to pay its just debts.
On
January 14, 1790, he proposed that all outstanding loans
be
funded
at their face value, even though many speculators
would profit by
this. Some members of Congress, who as they voted
for the funding
bill, were not unaware of the opportunity it gave
them to reap a
rich harvest. It has also 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?

Alexander Hamilton boasted: "A power over a man's
subsistence
amounts to a power over his will."14

Hamilton wished also to take over such of the debts
incurred
by the States themselves for the cause of independence
as they
had not yet paid.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------

His object, again, was to place the States under such
obligation
as to insure their support in the establishment of the
first Bank
of the United States. The State's war debts amounted
to over
eighteen million dollars, not all the States had debts to
be
taken over. Thus started the political precedent of
perpetual
debt and required contributions (taxes) to be passed on
to those
not responsible for the debt. Nor were the obligations
spelled
out to the State inhabitants.

Hamilton won the debate for the first Bank of the
United
States when President Washington signed the senate bill.
The
bank was to have a capital stock of ten million dollars,
which
was for that time, a very large sum. Of this amount one
fifth
was to be subscribed by the United States, and the other
four
fifths by private individuals. Hamilton's Bank which had
been
chartered for twenty years was allowed to run out in 1811
in
favor of the State banks. The Bankers could not stand for
their
bank being closed. The House of Rothschild used their
influence
over Britain to bring about the War of 1812. The War
increased
the U.S. governments debt to such an extent that the
taxes that
were collected were less than one third the amount to
cover this
debt. The remaining debt had to be covered by loans
that were
made by foreign bankers, by the end of the war the
government was
virtually bankrupt. The State banks tried to
bolster themselves
by issuing paper money in excessive amounts,
which created land
speculation and a deflated dollar. Some
members in Congress saw
no choice but to propose the second Bank
of the United States.
In 1816 the second Bank of the United
States was chartered.

"The new bank would have a capital stock of thirty
five
million; the United States government should subscribe one
fifth
of the stock, private individuals the other four fifths,
and the
directors should be similarly apportioned; the bank
should have a
monopoly on the business of the United States and
the national
banking business; it might establish branch banks
throughout the
several states; and it might continue in operation
for a period
of twenty years."15

-----------------------------------------------------------------

15. THE FEDERAL UNION, p.
316
-----------------------------------------------------------------

It is obvious that the bankers had the Congress of the
United
States and the American people through proxy over a
barrel.
Congress agreed to give the bankers exclusive rights to
all
business done in the United States. All loans were
guarantied by
the American people with repayment to be made
through the payment
of taxes. For the valuable privileges the
Bank was to enjoy, it
was required to pay to the government of
the United States a
bonus of one million and five hundred
thousand dollars. In 1818
the Bank of the United States began an
all out attack on the
State banks in order to close them. The
Bank of the United States
collected the paper money of State
banks, and after the State
banks had paid out a sufficient amount
of specie (in other words
their gold and silver deposits became
low), the Bank of the
United States would demand payment in
specie for the paper money
the State banks had put in
circulation. The international bankers
knew that the State banks
only kept one dollar of gold and silver
for every twelve dollars
of paper money that was loaned out by
the State banks. The State
banks that were attacked in such a
manner would then have to call
in their loans. Individuals who
had borrowed from the targeted
banks would be forced to raise
what they owed by selling their
property for whatever it would
bring.16

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what
the
bankers were up to. The above banking policy would
eventually
pull all gold and silver out of the State banks,
leaving them at
the mercy of the international bankers. This
would also give the
Bank of the United States a monopoly in
banking, removing any
competition. By bankrupting the State banks
the international
bankers would destroy those Americans that had
loans though the
State banks, the farmer, the business man and
the land
speculators. The result, the transfer of this countries
gold and
silver resources and vast amounts of this countries
most
important asset, its land to the bankers.

Those involved with banking became subject to the bankers
through
these foreclosures at a National level. Who are these
bankers
and how did they get a foothold in this country?

The Bank of the United States was operated by Nicholas
Biddle,
a wealthy and aristocratic Philadelphian, the bank was in
a
flourishing condition when President Jackson took office.
Biddle
was employed by the Rothschilds, and he was a non-Jew.
When the
bank failed in 1837 he was soon forgotten by the bankers
and died
penniless and a pauper in 1844.

President Jackson represented the anti-bank sentiment by
the
American people, Jackson said:

"I do not dislike your bank more than all banks, but
ever
since I read the history of the South Sea Bubble, I have
been
afraid of banks."

...The South Sea Company was an English corporation, chartered
in
1711, with a monopoly on the Spanish-American trade.
It
attempted in 1720 to underwrite the British national debt
in
return for a guaranteed interest rate of 5 per cent.
This
introduced a period of unbridled speculation, not only in
stocks
of the South Sea Company, but in all sorts of stocks also.
The
"Bubble" burst in November, 1720, with disastrous
consequences to
a host of investors.17

Biddle made a number of Jackson men directors of branch
banks,
but he was unwilling to subject the welfare of the bank
more
fully to the hazards of questionable banking. His
nervous
apprehension, however, led him to seek the favor of
Congress in a
way almost equally open to question. In 1829
thirty-four members
of Congress found it possible to borrow a
total amount of one
hundred and ninety two thousand dollars from
the bank; in 1830
fifty-two congressmen borrowed a total of three
hundred and
twenty two thousand dollars; in 1831 fifty-nine
congressmen
borrowed a total of four hundred and seventy eight
thousand
dollars. Huge amounts of money were also made available
to
powerful newspaper editors, and it paid each year a
generous
retainer to Daniel Webster, who,

-----------------------------------------------------------------
17.
THE FEDERAL UNION, p.
386
-----------------------------------------------------------------

as the Bank's attorney and a member of its board of
directors,
saw nothing improper in representing its interests
both in and
out of Congress.

Webster persuaded Biddle to request for the recharter of
the
bank before the election of 1832. Webster knew Congress
would
pass the bank bill because of the loans that were made to
many of
the congressmen. The bank bill passed and was promptly
vetoed by
President Jackson, here is a portion of his veto
speech, his
reasoning is sound:

"More than a fourth part of the stock is held by
foreigners
and the residue is held by a few hundred of our own
citizens,
chiefly of the richest class.... Should the stock of
the bank
principally pass into the hands of the subjects of a
foreign
country, and we should unfortunately become involved in a
war
with that country, what would be our condition?...If we must
have
a bank with private stockholders, every consideration of
sound
policy and every impulse of American feeling admonishes
that it
should be purely American."18

Nicholas Biddle the President of the United States
Bank
said:

"This worthy President, thinks that because he has
scalped
Indians and imprisoned Judges, he is to have his way with
the
Bank. He is mistaken."19

On January 30, 1835: The bankers attempted to
assassinate
their fiercest enemy, President Jackson. Richard
Lawrence armed
with two pistols at point blank range, fired both
pistols, both
of which misfired spoiling the bankers
plans.
President Jackson said: "the Bank is trying to kill me,
but
I shall Kill the Bank."20

With the reelection of President Jackson in 1836 he knew
he
had a mandate from the people of the America. He feared
the
power of Biddle in persuading the Congress, in order to head
off

Jackson through his power given him under the
Constitution
removed the money from the Bank of the United States
and placed
it in the State banks. In order to accomplish this he
had to
fire two Secretary of the Treasurers. Their successor,
Roger B.
Taney of Maryland did not hesitate to issue the order to
remove
the money.

Biddle shut off the flow of money to the State banks in
order
to turn public against Jackson's polices against the Bank
of the
United States. The State banks began to loan excessive
amounts of
paper money, which again triggered land speculation.
The State
bank loans increased from one hundred and thirty seven
million in
1829 to five hundred and twenty five million dollars
in 1837. The
land speculation was so bad that the government
sales of public
lands rose from four million acres in 1834 to
fifteen million in
1835, and to twenty million in 1836. Receipts
from public lands
had contributed to the treasury only four
million eight hundred
thousand dollars in 1834; but in 1835 this
item rose to fourteen
million seven hundred thousand dollars, and
in 1836 to twenty
four million eight hundred thousand dollars.
These banks had
nothing better to do with the funds that poured
into their vaults
than to lend them out again, and in far too
many instances the
borrowers were mere speculators who bought
more land. Thus an
endless chain was fashioned; payments made by
the speculators to
the United States were deposited into pet
banks, then lent again
to other speculators to buy more land,
then paid once more into
the treasury, then redeposited, then
lent again, and so on in a
vicious circle.

President Jackson decided the evil of this policy had to
be
stopped. In July 1836 it was declared in the "SPECIE
CIRCULAR"
that paper money could no longer be used to buy public
lands, and
that specie (gold and silver) had to be used, this
ended for a
number of years the purchase of land from the
government. In
1835 the last dollar of public debt was paid off.
In 1837 the
United States was in the middle of a depression,
because the Bank
of the United States had removed the gold and
silver from the
State banks, which meant they had no more specie
money to loan.

1837 marked the end of the Bank of the United States, and
in
1840 Congress passed the Sub-Treasury Bill. The only thing
this
accomplished was to remove the middle man between the
United
States government and the foreign Bankers.

August Belmont's (Schonberg) arrived in New York City in
1837,
with the influence and backing of the House of Rothschild
behind
him. He was a Jewish banker of German decent, he had
three sons
Perry, Oliver H.P., and August Jr.. August Schonberg
(Belmont)
went to Frankfurt at the age of thirteen to work as an
unpaid
apprentice for the Rothschilds, the leading Jewish banking
house
in Europe. It is said among the European Rothschilds that
Augest
Schonberg was the illegitimate son of Baron Von
Rothschild. The
reason I believe this to be true is because the
Jews are very
clannish, they would not put a non-family member in
such a
important position, nor would a non-family member have
direct
access to Baron Von Rothschild.

Belmont married into the Perry family for their
social
influence. The Perrys were not very rich, but they had all
the
social contacts that Belmont wanted and needed, more than
he
needed money. Caroline was the daughter of Commodore
Matthew
Calbraith Perry, hero of the Mexican War and the officer
later
credited with having "opened Japan to the West," and her
uncle
was another naval commander, Oliver Hazard Perry, hero of
the War
of 1812 and the Battle of Lake Erie.

The first thing New York society noticed about August
Belmont
was that he had lots of money. It was Rothschild money,
and he
used it extravagantly. As a financier with the funds of
the
world's largest private bank at his fingertips, he
was
immediately important not only to American companies but to
the
United States Government, which was always running out of
cash
and whose credit needed constant infusions from bankers.
There
was one area in which August Belmont excelled. Its name
was
Rothschild. Belmont was not known to be a
spectacular,
brilliant, or even "interesting" financier. But men
like J.P.
Morgan liked to work with the European Rothschilds, and
August
Belmont, as their agent, was always there, helpful,
collecting
his percentage on the money that passed back and
forth.

In the panic of 1837 Belmont was able to perform a
service
which he would repeat in subsequent panics, and which
helped make
him a friend to bankers and to the United States
Government. By
negotiating large loans from the Rothschilds, he
was able to
shore up United States debtor banks. In other words,
he was
able, thanks to the hugeness of the Rothschild reservoir
of
capital, to start out in America operating his own
Federal
Reserve System. Mayer Amschel Rothschild said:

"Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and
I
care not who makes its laws."21

In the years since his arrival Belmont had been so
successful
at channeling Rothschild funds into the United States
Treasury in
return for government securities that he was
rewarded, in 1844,
by being appointed United States Consul
General to Austria, a
move designed not only to provide Mr.
Belmont with prestige but
also to place him close to the Vienna
House of Rothschild where
he could be of further usefulness.
Things, of course, did not
always go smoothly. When the State of
Pennsylvania defaulted on
thirty five million worth of State
bonds held by British
investors, including the Rothschilds,
Belmont, in Paris trying to
place another U.S.Federal Government
loan, was icily told by
Baron de Rothschild:

"Tell them you have seen the man who is at the head of
the
finances of Europe, and that he has told you that they
cannot
borrow a dollar. Not a dollar."22

In 1853 he had been made United States charge d'affaires
at
The Hague, and from 1855 to 1858 he was the resident
American
minister there.

Until the outbreak of the war, August Belmont had
been
financial advisor to the President of the United States.
During
the war's first months, Lincoln leaned on Belmont for
Rothschild
money as heavily as Gitterman and the Quartermaster
Corps leaned
on the Seligmans for uniforms. This placed Belmont
in an awkward
position. Reflecting the general frame of mind in
Europe, the
Rothschilds had grave doubts about the North's
chances of
winning, and gave Belmont and the United States
Treasury only
lukewarm and hesitant support. Lincoln's
fund-raisers were
forced to look for new sources of supply, and
found them in the
bond-selling efforts of such men as Joseph
Seligman.

The recovery from the Panic of 1857 was as spectacular as
the
panic itself. The bubble had no sooner burst than it began
to
re-inflate. So much gold was pouring into New York
from
California that gold held in New York banks climbed from
eight
million dollars' worth in October to twenty-eight million
two
months later, and a ten-million-dollar loan from the
Rothschilds
made, via August Belmont, to bolster the credit of
U.S. banks was
repaid the same day.

The Seligmans, who were a American banking house, had the
same
mission as the international bankers. Both banking houses
were
able manipulate the American people through so called
bid
rigging. The bankers funded the North and the South.

William Seligman liked to say that he had predicted the
Civil
War, and implied that the nice position the Seligmans
found
themselves in as a result of the war was largely his
doing.

At the outbreak of the war the United States Treasury was
in
greater shambles than Fort Sumter. Southern banks had
been
quietly withdrawing large amounts of funds on deposit in
the
North. When Lincoln took office, he found his Treasury
almost
empty. The Federal debt was increasing, and the American
credit
abroad was disappearing. Conservative businessmen wanted
no
deals whatever with the government. They considered it far
too
risky.

Linton Wells, a former Seligman staff member, wrote
that:
"Joseph Seligman, during a visit with President
Lincoln,
"persuaded" Lincoln to put Grant in charge of the Union
forces,"
which Lincoln of course did. These constitute sizable
claims,
and subsequent Seligman generations have cooperated with,
Wells
and W.E. Dodd (Dodd was Joseph's equal in selling bonds)
in
carrying on the legend that Joseph Seligman won the Civil War
by
paying for it. At one optimistic point, Joseph bought some
Union
bonds for his own portfolio, then quickly became
discouraged
about their prospects and wrote: "I am almost tempted
to resell
the U.S. Stock which I bought and keep my hands clear
of the
present degenerated American race."23 (Again this is what
these
Jewish bankers thought about non-Jewish Americans.) His
brother
James was more hopeful and wrote suggesting that the
brothers buy
one hundred thousand dollars worth of Union
securities for their
own accounts. Joseph turned him down, he
said:

"Do not be afraid," he answered, "that the Government
will
want no more money after the 1 June even if the South should
have
been whipped so badly as to offer to make peace, the
Government
will need hundreds if not thousands of millions yet,
to pay for
claims of all description and for the purpose of
emancipating the
Negro."24

This was one of the reasons for the Thirteenth and
Fourteenth
Amendments to the Constitution. By making the Negro a
United
States citizen it would increase the debt of the United
States
and further enslave the non-Jewish American through the
increased
taxes that would have to be collected.

Morgan, Belmont, and the Rothschilds formed an axis
of
financial power that Joseph Seligman was finding it
increasingly
difficult to beat.

This much of Joseph's Union bond-selling is known. Early
in
Lincoln's second administration, in 1865, William Fessenden,
who
succeeded Chase as Secretary of the Treasury, announced a
four
hundred million issue of new government notes.

Joseph Seligman headed a group of German bankers in New York
who
wished to underwrite fifty million worth of these notes, but
the
Secretary would not accept the terms of the
syndicate.
Thereupon, the Seligman brothers took an active part
in selling
these Federal securities themselves, and it is
recorded that they
sold over sixty million worth. Remember these
bonds were just
like the government created the money out of thin
air. These
bankers knew that if they continued to underwrite
these bonds
they would obtain a nation and its people for
repayment.

Obviously, this was the moment for Joseph to put his
great
plan to work. Within hours of Lee's surrender, Joseph
had
summoned his brothers together to organize the
international
banking House of Seligman. Under Presidents Lincoln
and Johnson,
the Seligmans enjoyed excellent relations with three
successive
Secretaries of the Treasury-Salmon Chase, William
Fessenden, and
Hugh McCulloch.
When their old friend from
Watertown days, Ulysses S. Grant, took
Presidential office in
1869, they had every reason to look
forward to the same
preferential treatment. In the beginning the
possibilities
certainly looked good. Grant appointed as his
Secretary of State
Elihu B. Washburne, who as a Congressman from
Illinois had been
one of the Seligmans' private clients. Joseph
had once purchased,
in Frankfurt, two hundred thousand dollars of
U.S. bonds for
Washburne, saying at the time, "There is no
necessity for you to
send any Bonds as margin, as we require none
from you, dear
Washburne." As soon as Washburne was appointed,
the Seligmans
wrote him, gently reminding him of their past good
deeds, and
offering their "full services" to the new
administration. But
Washburne's appointment, it turned out, was
only a courtesy one.
He held the post for only twelve days, and
was then made Minister
to France. Grant replaced him with
Hamilton Fish, who was less a
friend. Fish was the son of a
Revolutionary War officer whose
father had been a friend of
George Washington's and whose mother
was a descendant of Peter
Stuyvesant, who had once thrown every
Jew in New York in jail.
Then Grant did a startling thing. He
contacted Joseph privately,
and said he would like to make him
Secretary of the Treasury, but
Joseph declined.

Daniel Drew, a large stock manipulator, was able to force
the
price of Erie stock up and down at will. Why did Drew want
his
shares sold in London and not New York? So New York wouldn't
find
out about it for a while. Allied with Drew in his
operations were
two other terrors of the age "Jubliee Jim" Fisk,
a former circus
roustabout, and an ex-farm hand who became the
leader of the
threesome named Jay Gould.

The Seligman firm, in Joseph's words, did "an enormous
amount
of business" in the Gould manipulations of the Erie
stock,
selling short for their own account whenever Gould or Fisk
or
Drew sold short, as they did consistently, letting the
three
men's operations provide the pattern for the Seligmans'
own. In
almost no time, the Seligmans had let the name of their
old
friend President Grant be linked with one of the most
spectacular
and scandalous financial coups of the decade, Jay
Gould's attempt
to corner the gold market.

On September 24, 1869 Gould began raising the price of
gold
from one hundred dollars to about one hundred and forty
five
dollars, meanwhile having gotten new freight contracts, at
a
higher rate, for shipping grain on the Erie. Gold began to
climb
as the Gould-Drew-Fisk group began buying, while the
Seligmans,
acting as the trio's brokers, also bought for their
own account.
Grant seemed to be falling into line perfectly, and
gold did
indeed reach one hundred and forty five dollars.
Then,
apparently, covetousness, one of Mr. Gould's most
consistent
emotions took over, and Gould decided to let gold get
a little
higher, to one hundred and fifty dollars before selling.
At this
point Grant seemed to realize what was going on, and
ordered his
Secretary of the Treasury to dump four million
dollars in gold on
the market in order to bring the price down
again. On what
became known as Black Friday, gold prices crashed.
The price
fell in fifteen minutes from one hundred and sixty two
dollars to
one hundred and thirty three dollars and many
investors were
ruined. But it turned out, Gould had sold out at
the top of the
market anyway, and so had the Seligmans. It was
almost, or so it
seemed at the time, as though Gould and the
Seligmans had been
given some advance warning of the Treasury's
forthcoming action.
Had Grant tipped his old friends off? When
Gould went to jail
for manipulation of Erie stock, the Seligmans,
who had been
acting as his brokers, loyally guaranteed his twenty
thousand
dollar bail bond and, with this action, more or less
permanently
committed themselves to Gould. Joseph said, "let us
thank God
that we have made no losses." Banks were in desperate
need of
cash, and Joseph tried to persuade President Grant to
deposit
government funds in private banks, even though, as
Joseph
admitted, such a move would be "clearly illegal."

Gould and Drew and Jim Fisk were, from that standpoint,
very
much in tune with their times. Gould admitted that he
used
bribery and blackmail to buy up Erie Railroad stock options
from
towns along his routes, and that he used Fisk's methods to
take
over by force and violence when other methods failed.
Gould,
furthermore, was by his own admission a raider and a
ruiner. He
had no interest in managing or improving railroads. He
merely
liked to drive a railroad's stock up, with rumors and
with
trading, and then sell it and let it collapse of its own
inflated
weight.

"Going back to interest rates, the Nation did not
have
interest rate caps, or that is anti-usury laws until the
1865
National Currency Act. This was what was uppermost in
President
Lincoln's mind at the time he was killed. He was
concerned. He
could see what was happening. Of course, just a few
years later,
by 1869 you had the same thing we have gone through
in the wild
eighties, the wild speculators, the attempt of these
predators,
like Jim Fisk and Gould to do such things as corner
the bull
market through conniving to bribe President
Grant's
brother-in-law and their total failure and inability to
do it,
but which sank the country and created scandal after
scandal, not
very different from what we have just come through
in the
eighties in the S&L scandals"25 (Congressman
Gonzalez)

In 1874 Joseph made a bid to Grant's new Secretary of
the
Treasury, Benjamin Bristow, to handle the sale of twenty
five
million worth of U.S. bonds.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
25.
CHAIRMAN OF THE BANKING COMMITTEE, augest 6, 1993 on

floor
of the congress, in SPECIAL
ORDERS
-----------------------------------------------------------------

This plum seemed about to fall into Joseph's lap when
Bristow
began to hedge. Bristow wanted, he said, "a stronger
combination
of bankers" behind the loan, a syndicate, in other
words. He
suggested "some strong European house," and though he
did not say
so in so many words, his implication was clear, he
wanted the
Rothschilds.

This Jewish Baron, when elected to the House of Commons,
had
for eight years refused to swear his oath of admission unless
the
Old Testament was substituted for the Holy Bible, and the
words
"upon the true faith of a Christian" were omitted.26

Then, in the autumn of 1874, Baron Rothschild summoned
Isaac
Seligman to his office to give him a piece of news. Some
fifty
five million worth of United States bonds were to be
offered for
sale, and the Baron suggested, the issue might be
backed by a
combination of three houses-the House of Rothschild,
the House of
Morgan, and the House of Seligman. For the first
time, August
Belmont would act as agent for both the Rothschilds
and J. & W.
Seligman & Company. Needless to say, Isaac
accepted. The
Seligmans were now able to consider themselves the
Rothschilds'
peers. The Seligman-Belmont-Morgan-Rothschild
alliance,
furthermore, was so successful that by the end of the
decade
there were complaints on Wall Street that
"London-and
Germany-based bankers" had a monopoly on the sale of
United
States bonds in Europe-which they did. Joseph Seligman
wrote to
Richard C. McCormick, U.S.Commissioner General, to
inform him:

"In filling the offices for Commissioners in Paris, please
do
not omit to appoint Mr. William Seligman, of course as
Honorary
Commissioner, without pay, as brother William is at the
head of a
large American banking house in Paris and entertains
all nice
Americans."27

Early in 1877 Sherman summoned a representative group of
New
York bankers, including Joseph Seligman and August Belmont,
to
Washington, and sent each into a separate room "to work out
a
plan for refunding the balance of the Government war debt."
Each
man submitted his recommendations, and a week later Sherman
sent
for Joseph and told him that his plan was "by all odds
the
clearest and most practical," and would be adopted. The
plan
called for building up a gold reserve of approximately
forty
percent of the outstanding greenbacks through the sale of
bonds
for coin, something Joseph was good at. The plan worked so
well
that within two years the dollar was quoted at par for the
first
time since 1861.

In 1887 Senator Patterson, presiding over the
investigating
committee wanted to determine how much pressure the
banking firms
had exerted to swell public confidence in, and
promote, the now
bankrupt Panama Canal Company. He asked Wright,
"Was not the
moral and business influence of these three great
banking houses
given to the enterprise?"
Wright replied
hedgily, "In what respect?"
"As far as affecting public opinion
in the United States was
concerned."
"I presume so," said Mr.
Wright.
"Was that not sufficient, in a large degree, to mold
public
opinion in favor of the Panama Canal Company?" asked the
Senator.
"That," replied Wright with extreme caution, "I am not
prepared
to answer."

Of course an honest answer would certainly have been "Yes."
It
soon turned out that the Seligman-Morgan-Lanier alliance had
gone
to considerable lengths to appoint men to the American
canal
committee whose names would add luster and prestige to
the
project.

The investigation unearthed the fact that Jesse Seligman
had
offered his old friend ex-President Grant the chairmanship of
the
canal committee at a salary of twenty four thousand dollars
a
year-which Grant could certainly have used at that point.
But
Grant declined the offer, and Jesse had then approached
President
Hayes's Secretary of the Navy, Richard W. Thompson, who
had
resigned his Cabinet post to take the job. Obviously, placing
a
former Navy Secretary in the Canal Company was just the sort
of
thing Senator Patterson was talking about. Thompson's duties
for
the company were partly those of a lobbyist, a man who
could
influence the opinion of Congress (and help persuade it to
block
the progress of the Nicaragua Canal Company), and also
to
strengthen the "image" of the company with the American
press,
and to inspire the confidence of American Stock
purchasers. When
Jesse Seligman was called before the
investigating committee, he
proved a more straightforward
witness. The entire Panama Canal
undertaking, he admitted, had
been badly planned and riddled with
"corruption, fraud, and
thievery."

Senator Thompson on the investigating committee was
curious
about some of the appointments that had been made to the
canal
committee, and asked Jesse, "Why was Mr. Thompson selected
as
chairman? He was not a great financier, was he?"
Jesse
replied,"No, but he was a great statesman and lawyer." "But
you
offered the place to General Grant. Now he was a great
soldier,
a popular idol, but he was not a great lawyer, or
financier, or
great statesman, was he?" With a smile, according
to the
Congressional Record, Jesse began, "Well.." Senator
Geary
interjected, "There may be some difference of opinion on
that
point." Sitting forward in his chair, Jesse Seligman
said
calmly, "General Grant was a bosom friend of mine, and I
always
look out for my friends."

Secretary Thompson said:

"In my official capacity as Secretary of the Navy, I have
had
especial opportunities to understand and appreciate
his
(Joseph's) character. My first intercourse with your
(banking)
house was had through him, in the summer of 1877, soon
after the
Department was placed under my charge. At that time,
its
financial condition was seriously embarrassed, being indebted
to
your house several hundred thousand dollars, which was
steadily
increasing on account of drafts drawn by Naval pay
officers in
all parts of the world, and which were accepted and
paid by you
in London. It was impossible to discharge the whole
of this
debt, or even any large proportion of it, without adding
to the
existing embarrassment and causing serious injury to the
Service.
When he came to understand this condition of affairs, he
at once
proposed to carry the debt to the beginning of the next
fiscal
year and to allow drafts to be continued until then
without
regard to the amount. The proposition was liberal and in
the
highest degree patriotic; and having been thankfully accepted
by
me the Department was enabled to bridge over all its
pecuniary
trouble. But for this, the injury to its credit and to
the
Service generally might have been irreparable."28

And so for a while the Seligman brothers were
personally
meeting the payroll of the United States Navy. The
Seligmans
continued their influence over the United States
government with
President Roosevelt:

"I (James Seligman) called on President Roosevelt and
asked
him point-blank if, when the revolt broke out, an American
war
ship would be sent to Panama to protect American lives
and
interests (including Seligman interests). The President
just
looked at me; he said nothing. Of course, a President of
the
United States could not give such a commitment, especially to
a
foreigner and private citizen like me. But his look was
enough
for me."29

At one of the Seligmans' weekend retreats, it was never
a
surprise to find a former U.S. President, a Supreme
Court
Justice, several Senators and a Congressman or two.
The
Seligmans' old friend Grant had, at their suggestion, bought
a
summer home at Long Branch and was a frequent, if
somewhat
unreliable, guest. President Garfield was another
Seligman
friend. Once more the Seligmans were displaying their
uncanny
way of getting to know the right people. Their friend
Lyman Gage
later became Secretary of the Treasury under President
McKinley.
He had, at one point, invited President Theodore
Roosevelt to
speak at a banquet for one of his philanthropies,
and Roosevelt
spoke of this 1906 appointment of Oscar Straus a
Jew and heir to
the Macy & Co. fortune, to his Cabinet,
saying:

"When this country conferred upon me the honor of making
me
President of the United States, I of course at once called
my
good friend Oscar Straus to my side, and asked him to serve
as
Secretary of Commerce."30

In 1910 Paul Warburg and Nelson Aldrich (both were
Jews)
together drafted the Aldrich Bill, the first to include
central
banking as an element of banking reform. Paul Warburg
had,
meanwhile, set up the National Citizens' League for
Promotion of
a Sound Banking System. The Federal Reserve Board
Act, largely
Warburg-designed, was passed in 1913, but the System
was not
operative until 1915. Warburg resigned from Kuhn, Loeb in
1917
to serve on the Board. Paul Warburg said:

"Whoever controls the volume of money in any country
is
absolute master of all industry and commerce."31

In 1913 the Pujo Committee disclosed that Kuhn, Loeb,
despite
its excellent relationships with Morgan, had primarily
been
allied with the Rockefeller-controlled National City Bank,
of
which Jacob Schiff had long been a director, and therefore
that
Schiff seemed to enjoy the best of both worlds.

Still, he was the most brilliant and versatile of all
the
Warburgs and, for years, was a sort of itinerant Kuhn,
Loeb
partner, spending half of each year in New York and the
other
half with the Warburg bank in Germany, serving as a
financial
liaison between the two countries. He had always
considered
American banking primitive and haphazard. He had met
secretly
with Senator Nelson Aldrich at Sea Island, Georgia, and
had
worked out the Federal Reserve System, and yet when Aldrich
tried
to give Paul Warburg full credit, Paul, typically, refused
to
take any credit whatever. He was offered the post of Chairman
of
the Federal Reserve Board but, insisting that he was
unworthy,
refused any position higher than Vice Chairman.

cannot but have helped the bank.

There were many ironies in Max Warburg's life. Certainly
his
special treatment began to convince him that he was
somehow
specially equipped to handle "the Jewish question," as it
was
being called in Germany. During World War I Max was
financial
adviser to the Imperial Government of Germany, and at
the war's
end he was appointed to a special committee to assist
the German
peace delegation at Versailles.

But Max was too much of a German. When the German Republic
was
coming into being, Max was offered his choice of two
posts:
Minister of Finance or Ambassador to the United States,
but to
everyone's surprise, he turned them both down. His main
concern
became saving, if at all possible, the Warburg bank
and
properties in Germany. To do so, he used his old
connections
with the Kaiser and the imperial court to become a
close friend
of the prominent Nazi, Hjalmar Schacht, president of
the
Reichsbank, the German Federal Bank.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
32.
PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON,
(1916)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Schacht often turned to Max for advice in financial matters,
and
continued doing so for several years after Hitler came to
power.
Through Schacht, Max became convinced that the Warburg
bank would
never be seized and that he himself might be to Hitler
what
Albert Ballin had been to the Kaiser, the court Jew. Alas,
as
the months marched relentlessly onward, this possibility
seemed
less than remote, particularly to Max's despairing
brothers in
New York. A law of April, 1933, decreed that all Jews
be
dismissed from government service and the universities, and
they
were also barred from the professions. Yet a week later,
Max
Warburg was dining with his friend, the Nazi Schacht.

After the war it was Eric Warburg who persuaded the Allies
to
let the family bank in Hamburg resume operations, and he was
as
of 1967, the senior partner in the Hamburg office, though both
he
and his young son, Max II, remained U.S. citizens.

This brings us to the bankruptcy of the United States.
The
Bankers continued to pull the gold and silver out of
this
Country. In the early 1920's they were pulling massive
amounts
of gold out of this Country. Then in 1929 you had the run
on the
banks and the closing of the Bank of the United States and
the
crash of the stock market. The following quote on MAY 23,
1933
describes the above crime:

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
currency, and several secretaries of the United States
Treasury
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, where these charges were effectively buried
and
until this day have never been answered.33

Record)

THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, p. 4055, 4058, May 23,

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Thus the country entered into another depression. What
were
the bankers objectives this time? They wanted more control
and
more return on their money for the benefit of their loans.
The
most amazing thing was that the American people stood by
while
their slavery was made complete. In 1933 with a huge amount
of
the gold supply taken by illegal means, President
Roosevelt
willingly followed the bankers demands. The United
States for
all practical purposes entered into Chapter 11
bankruptcy.

Congressman Traficant said on the House floor, March 17,
1993
that:

"Mr. Speaker, we are here now in chapter 11. Members
of
Congress are official trustees presiding over the
greatest
reorganization of any bankrupt entity in world history,
the U.S.
government."

On March 10, 1933 President Roosevelt ordered that
all
Americans had to turn in their Gold.

This was done by Presidential Executive Order, 6073 and
the
subsequent Executive Orders, 6102, 6111 and 6260.34
[these
documents are still publicly attainable in any federal
depository
library]

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."35

35. THE MYSTERIES OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM,
p.
3
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The theft of this countries gold was a down payment for
the
bankers, they were also given complete control over the
finances
of the United States. Another part of the deal was that
the
United States was not collecting enough money in taxes to pay
the
interest, so the American people had to be conned into
entering a
social contracts that would make the American people
legally
bound to the bankers in voluntary servitude, which is not
against
the Thirteenth Amendment that states:

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude,
except
as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have
been duly
convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any
place
subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall
have power to enforce this article by
appropriate legislation

One of the contracts that was used to do this was the
Social
Security Act. You would probably say that this is a
Insurance
plan for your old age retirement. Is it? Let's examine
what
takes place. Money is taken out of your wage reimbursement
and
is supposedly put into a trust fund until you retire.
What
actually happens is that this money is placed into the
treasury
as your payment on the national debt and an IOU for this
amount
goes into the trust fund. When you make a claim for your
Social
Security benefits, the money is then borrowed from the
bankers,
thereby perpetually increasing the national debt your
children
will have to pay. This was part of the new deal, the
United
States agreed to borrow every dollar the government uses
from
these same bankers. When you receive a Social Security
payment
from the government you have not received your money, you
have
received further benefit from the government. If you'll look
on
your wage check stub, you will find the initials F.I.C.A.,
which
is the amount that you pay for your supposed Social
Security
insurance. What does F.I.C.A mean? It means Federal
Insurance
Contribution Act. What about the word Contribution.
Through
your public school training and the context in which this
word is
used you would think it means your payment for your
insurance.
Does it? What do lawyers, judges and the federal
government say
Contribution means? You can find their definition
in Blacks Law
Dictionary, it reads as follows:

Contribution. Right of one who has discharged a
common
liability to recover of another also liable, the aliquot
portion
which he ought to pay or bear. Under principle
of
"contribution," a tort-feasor against whom a judgement
is
rendered is entitled to recover proportional shares of
judgement
from other joint tort-feasor whose negligence
contributed to the
injury and who were also liable to the
plaintiff. (cite omitted)
The share of a loss payable by an
insure when contracts with two
or more insurers cover the same
loss. The insurer's share of a
loss under a coinsurance or
similar provision. The sharing of a
loss or payment among
several. The act of any one or several of
a number of co-debtors,
co-sureties, etc., in reimbursing one of
their number who has
paid the whole debt or suffered the whole
liability, each to the
extent of his proportionate share. (Blacks
Law Dictionary 6th
ed.)

So you see when you went to the Social Security office
and
asked for your Social Security number and you then signed
the
Social Security application you said that you were a
tortfeasor
and that you were equally responsible with the other
tortfeasors
for the national debt. The bankers, in 1933 increased
their
return on their money in several ways. First, what was
just
covered, the Social Security scam. The money you pay out is
a
tax, payment on the national debt. Second, once the gold
was
removed in 1933 and the silver in 1967, the only money
printed
was the bankers fiat money. The definition of fiat is
as
follows:

"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." (Blacks Law Dictionary 6th ed.)

When the bankers did this they further enslaved you.
The
bankers have a total monopoly on the commerce in this
country.
They have given you the privilege of discharging your
debt
without actually paying your debts. Here is the definition
of
discharge:

"Settlement of a debt is discharged and the debtor is
released
when the creditor has received something from him. It
may be
money or its equivalent. (Barrons Law Dictionary)

Contribution: "Right of one who has discharged a
common
liability to recover of another also liable, the aliquot
portion
which he ought to pay or bear." (Blacks Law 6th ed.)

Congressman Jerry Voorhis said:

"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."36

The loss of your sovereign status has all been done
by
contract. A contract can override any pre-existing law
including
the Constitution of the United States. Your rights and
your
sovereign status have been lost through the contracts you've
been
involved in (in relation to your status) with these
bankers.
Contracts do not have to be written down on paper. The
contracts
you have been involved in (in relation to your status)
for the
most part have been silent contracts. You can have a
silent
contract as long as you have the three components of a
contract
present, offer, acceptance and consideration. The
bankers have
offered you fiat money which has no value. The
benefit you
receive is that you can buy real property with this
fiat money
without being put in jail for stealing. The bankers
offered this
money through the government, you accepted and used
this money
without objection, which proves your consideration.
Because of
your acceptance and consideration of this silent
contract
(without your objection), the bankers have a right to
compel you
to preform to any stipulations that they might add to
protect
their investment. Since you are the collateral (your
labor)
which is the surety for the contract, they have a right
to
protect you. That's why all these laws and acts of Congress
came
about after 1933. Why do you think you have to have
car
insurance, drivers license, building permits, seat
belt
regulations and the coming Health Plan?

-----------------------------------------------------------------
36.
CONGRESSMAN JERRY VOORHIS,
(1934)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

These regulations are compelled performance, because you have
to
comply as long as you receive the benefit of discharging
your
debt, and if you refuse you can be locked away in jail for
the
public welfare. Why? Because you might damage
another
tort-feasor. This is just one benefit (silent contract)
there
are many others that are offered through the government.
I've
covered one which was the Social Security benefit. The
benefits
offered by government serve another purpose, but to the
same end.
They have been offered to remove any claim you might
have had to
the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. This began
when the
Fourteenth Amendment was passed.
Section 1. All
persons born or naturalized in the United
States, and subject to
the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of
the United States and
of the State wherein they reside. No State
shall make or enforce
any law which shall abridge the privileges
or immunities of
citizens of the United States; nor shall any
State deprive any
person of life, liberty, or property, without
due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.
Section 4. The validity of the public
debt of the United
States, authorized by law, including debts
incurred for payment
of pensions and bounties for services in
suppressing insurrection
or rebellion, shall not be
questioned.

You would say that this was done to emancipate the
Negro.
That's what you've been told, but that is not the only
reason.
Remember at the beginning of this paper? Joseph Seligman
told us
one reason, which was to increase the national debt.
Another
reason was to create a federal citizen. The Negroes were
given
their United States citizenship by Congress's enactment of
the
Fourteenth Amendment. Anything that is created by
government,
can be regulated and controlled by government,
through its
insular capacity. Another reason was that part of the
Fourteenth
Amendment made it illegal for a United States citizen
to
challenge the Validity of the national debt. The
government's
part in this was to offer benefits to the American
people.
Thereby, making it possible for the American Citizen to
become a
citizen of the United States. The acceptance of these
benefits
changed your status from a large C Citizen (proper
noun), to a
small c citizen, which made you subject to the
government. If
you'll look at the Constitution you'll see that
prior to the
Fourteenth Amendment, Citizen was a large C and
after the
Fourteenth Amendment this changed to a small c. Another
way your
status changed was by your signing government forms that
used the
metaphor United States citizen. For example on your 1040
form or
W2 form or passport etc., you were asked if you were a
citizen of
the United States (the word of in law means belonging
to) small
c, because you didn't know the words United States was
a
metaphor, you said sure and signed the forms. Even if you
hadn't
received any benefits from the government you were now a
small c
citizen and subject to the government, because of the
declaration
you made when you signed these forms. As I said
earlier there
are a multitude of benefits offered by the
government. These
include all of the Social programs, being a
registered voter,
having bank accounts, having insurance, working
for government
created corporations, the benefit of police
protection etc.. just
to name a few. What this means is that you
no longer have the
same status as our forefathers. The
Constitution before the
Fourteenth Amendment no longer applies to
you. The only rights
you have are those granted to you by your
king (government). Any
rights that are granted to Fourteenth
Amendment citizens can be
taken away. For example, the Second
Amendment, the right to bear
arms. Because of public policy this
right is going to be taken
away to protect the tortfeasors
(co-sureties for the national
debt). Have you noticed how the
government has said that this is
a health issue? The bankers are
losing to many co-sureties, and
the tax money they pay in. The
bankers required all of these
entitlements and enacted these laws
to protect their subjects and
to increase the amount of taxes
being collected. The main reason
the guns are going to be
collected is to remove any danger to the
government, when they
declare martial law and totally suspend the
Constitution.

The incredible genius of this is that this was done
with
your
approval and you paid for it. Were not taxes
required to pay the
debts acquired by the United States on your
behalf, if you are a
voter, which makes you a party to any
decision that Congress
makes?
Were not these taxes paid by
your labor, so are you not working
for
the bankers? Are you
not subject to their whims through interest
rates and monetary
policies set by them? The over-riding
question
is were you
aware of this? True you've subjected yourselves
voluntarily, but
were you aware of the bankers intent to enslave
you. Were you
aware of the secret arrangements made between the
United States
government past and present with the international
bankers.

The following is the definition of secret taken from
Blacks
Law Dictionary:

"Concealed; hidden; not made public; particularly, in
law,
kept from the knowledge or notice of persons liable to
be
affected by the act, transaction, deed, or other thing spoken
of.
Something known only to one or a few and kept from
other."

Because you are a registered voter and receiving
monetary
benefit from the government, which is provided by the
bankers,
you are obligated to abide by any statute that Congress
might
pass in favor of the bankers.

The money this country uses will be the down fall of
our
monetary system. In other words because this fiat money has
no
value other than the three cents it costs to produce it, you
have
never paid for anything, and the bankers gave you
limited
liability so you cannot be sued for this. The final
beneficiary
for the continuing of these transactions (commerce),
are the
bankers. For every fiat dollar the bankers print and are
able to
get into circulation, they get ninety seven cents of
real
property, plus interest. This is called a no interest
contract.
What does this mean? As an example read the
following:

Let's say you bought a home that you did not intend to
live
in, for ten thousand dollars and the house was appraised
for
eighty thousand dollars. You then purchased a insurance
policy
for two dollars a month, that would protect you for the
full
eighty thousand dollars. You would not have a interest in
seeing
the policy continue. It would be in your interest for the
house
to burn down, because you would make a profit of seventy
thousand
dollars. This is a no-interest contract, some times
called a
wager contract. (James Montgomery)

When you use federal reserve notes you are involved in
a
silent contract between you and the bankers. The bankers are
the
suppliers, the government and the United States citizens are
the
receivers. Anyone around the world that has received this
fiat
money for payment or is involved with the banking system's
are
also receivers of this benefit. This fiat money
creates
increased perpetual debt with its use, the bankers
hidden
interest is for you and the government to never be able to
pay
off your debt. They loan this money out with the
understanding
that the debt can be paid off. This is impossible
because you
cannot pay off a debt with fiat money which is
discharging the
debt and passing it to someone else. Have you
been reimbursed
for your labor when you are paid with fiat money?
No. What do
you receive when you receive fiat money? Don't you
receive a
debt note? A tax is required on the valueless money you
were
paid for your labor, just as if you were paid real money.
The
difference being you can't pay a debt (tax) with fiat
money.
Your labor and your property are being transferred for
the
payment of these taxes. Your labor is being required to pay
a
tax for the use of money that has no value. So don't you go
in
the hole every time you receive and accept fiat money for
payment
for your labor? Sure you do, think about it, this is the
most
ingenious scam ever devised. Just as soon as people
start
refusing to accept the federal reserve notes the whole
system
would crumble. It is only your faith in the security of
the
dollar that gives it its buying power. The debt cannot be
paid
off and the fact that it's in the bankers interest to loan
out
more fiat money, because they receive real property in
return,
the bankers will do anything to continue this fraud. When
you no
longer have enough labor to satisfy the debt, your
property is
then transferred through bankruptcy. This is a
classic
no-interest contract, it is illegal and the bankers and
anyone in
government that are involved should be jailed. What
completes
this trap? The government has made it law, that the
only money
that can be used is the fiat money the bankers print
and
distribute. Thereby, you are being forced to be a party to
a
silent contract where your consideration is based on
coercion.
You might ask, do I have a remedy? You bet. Can you
be
compelled to enter a contract? No. Can you be bound by
a
contract where there is fraud involved? No. So what's
your
remedy? Study these issues and study, study and study some
more.
Then! Quit receiving voluntarily, government benefits that
you
are not compelled (forced) to. Learn how to object to
these
benefits when you are compelled by government to accept
them,
thereby, reserving your common law right under God to be
a
freeman and a freeholder of your property while
maintaining
your Sui Juris status. Here is the definition of Sui
Juris:

"Possessing all the rights to which a freeman is entitled;
not
being under the power of another, as a slave, a minor, and
the
like." (Bouviers Law Dictionary 1914 ed.)

What about the other parties in the transactions you have
been
involved in? They accepted this fiat money as payment, so
no one
has been wronged. Or have they? What about the real
property or
services that have transferred, have these parties
received real
value? No! Let's say in a hypothetical situation
that you sell a
piece of land for one hundred thousand dollars
and you are paid
one hundred thousand fiat dollars, you're happy,
but wrongfully
so.
The money you've been paid is worth three cents on the
dollar,
but on April 15 you will have to pay a tax based one
hundred
thousand dollars. Your property has been stolen from you
(with
your consent) and you now have to pay a tax of twenty
five
percent, twenty five thousand dollars to the IRS, which is
based
on the full amount, one hundred percent not the three
percent
value you were paid for your land. You have exchanged
one
hundred thousand dollars of real property for three
thousand
dollars of paper debt money and accrued a debt of twenty
five
thousand dollars that will be paid by your labor. So for
selling
your property you are now in the hole twenty two
thousand
dollars. You would say I still made seventy five
thousand
dollars on the deal. Did you? Remember Congress has to
borrow
every dollar that is in print, including your seventy
five
thousand dollars. You have seventy five thousand dollars of
debt
that your children will have to pay back and their
children
etc... Also this money has no value and is supported
only by the
faith of those that use it. Suppose right after you
sold your
land the bankers told the American people the truth,
that the
money has no value. Where would you be then? There is
no
security in a money system that has no foundation.

Here's another example of how the debt cannot be paid
off;
remember, the only money in existence is the money the bank
has
created. Let's say the bank loaned out one thousand dollars
to
the government and wants ten percent interest in return.
Where
is the government going to get the ten percent of bank
created
money to pay the interest on its loan? The bank didn't
print
money in excess of the original loan that could be used
free of
charge to pay the interest. The only method of paying
the
interest is to borrow more money on the credit of the
citizens of
the United States. This practice of borrowing money
to pay
interest creates perpetual debt, that cannot be paid
off,
Jefferson was right. Eventually the Bankers will have
to
foreclose on America.

"...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..."37
(Thomas Jefferson)

The bankers have also created trillions of dollars
with
bookkeeping entries, without printing any money. If you
create a
trillion dollars in this manner, where is the trillion
dollars
and the interest going to come from to pay for this
bookkeeping
entry, since this money was never printed?

-----------------------------------------------------------------
37.
THE MAKING OF AMERICA, p.
395
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The only way this debt can be paid off is by borrowing the
money
which will be paid back by your labor and your property.
Now,
the debt and interest has grown so great there is not enough
land
or people producing labor to pay the national debt. It
is
impossible to pay the national debt and the interest on the
loan,
for the above reasons. Do you see how the wealth of this
country
has been transferred to the bankers?

Thomas Jefferson and Sir Josiah Stamp, the former president
of
the Bank of England, were right about the bankers and the use
of
their money.

"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."38
(Thomas Jefferson)

"The modern banking system manufactures money out of
nothing.
The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of
sleight of
hand that was ever invented. Banking was conceived in
inequity
and born in sin...Bankers own the earth. Take it away
from them
but leave them the power to create money, and, with a
flick of a
pen, they will create enough money to buy it back
again...Take
this great power away from them and all great
fortunes like mine
will disappear, for then this would be a
better and happier world
to live in...But, if you want to
continue to be the slaves of
bankersand pay the cost of your own
slavery, then let bankers
continue to create money and control
credit."39 (Sir Josiah
Stamp)

"But from a financial standpoint we are at great risk, and
our
banking system is at great risk. Just about three special
orders
ago I placed in the Record statistics showing how the
leading
banks of our country are heavily involved in super-scale
gambling
that makes Las Vegas look like a backyard alley dice
game...Our
principal banks, the top 20, are heavily involved.
The top seven
or eight just absolutely are irretrievably
involved. One of
those, for instance, is involved 1,750 percent
over its total
capitalization structure...So once again, you get
individuals,
like one, associated with others, like James Gold
Smith, who is a
relative of the Rothschilds in London and who,
just a few years
ago, was a matter of attention to us on the
committee because he
was involved in some of the very

heavy leveraged buy outs and attempts on leveraged buy outs
such
as Goodyear in Ohio and which cost us a lot in
family
disruptions, loss of jobs to many of our Americans,
heavy
indebtedness of our corporate structure, where the private
equal
to the amount of our Government debt, which is over $4
trillion,
the greatest ever in the history of mankind of any
nation...It is
the same thing with financial transactions. The
Federal Reserve
Open Market Committee, which works in secret, it
does not even
keep minutes any more, and is making the life and
death
determinations for the security and freedom of the
American
public's standard of living, economic and financial
freedom. If
we are nothing more than economic serfs, how can we
boast?"40
(Congressman Gonzales)

President Eisenhower's Secretary of the Treasury Anderson
in
an interview with U.S. News and World Report on August 31,
1959
said:
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."41

floor of
the congress, in SPECIAL ORDERS
41. THE MYSTERIES OF THE FEDERAL
RESERVE SYSTEM, p.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The only way the defeat of America could be accomplished
is
with changing the laws, and having bought and paid for judges
and
Congressmen to do this. The only thing they had to overcome
were
the few Americans that were watching and the Constitution.
The
last 217 years of this country, and going back to Adam, has
been
a war with the principalities and powers in high places.
Jesus'
Word makes it clear that the principalities and powers in
high
places will be defeated and the governments of the world
will
become Christ's Kingdom.

Freedom is a seed sown by God into the hearts of men, and
only
by understanding God's purpose for freedom will the seed
of
freedom grow. Brave men have fought for freedom because
they
understood its purpose. The great men that shaped this
country
realized the dream of freedom which gave birth to its
purpose.
We have to overcome men that want to prosper from
others
servitude and lack of knowledge.

Freedom begins and ends with Jesus Christ, once your spirit
is
freed from sin the seed of freedom is planted. It then
becomes
the will of man to free his body from the curse of
slavery and to
become subject only to God Almighty as a tri-part
creation,
spirit, soul, body, which fulfills God's purpose.

Evil seeks to obscure and eliminate the dream that
defines
God's purpose for freedom, but a seed planted by God
Almighty can
never be put asunder. The dream lives on in the
hearts of men,
once awakened it is a force that the gates of hell
shall not
prevail against. Only when freedom becomes your purpose
and
drive will the desire for freedom spread to other patriots
not
yet known.

The oppressors promise death, imprisonment, and
financial
ruin, this cannot quench or destroy a seed planted by
God. Once
you learn that there are men that want to enslave you
through
deception and fraud, it is your responsibility and duty
to free
yourself from the yoke of oppression. Once you have
realized
your purpose, which is given to you as a gift by God
Almighty,
you can then start to understand that it is your
responsibility
to be free
and that this cannot be obtained
without the divine hand of God
Almighty in operation in your
life.

Only those of us that have the dream of freedom and operate
in
its purpose, will regain our freedom and take back our
county,
for the glory of God Almighty. Until God's Kingdom
is
established on this earth, subdue and take dominion over
the
earth as God commanded. (James Montgomery)

"Every man should remain in the condition in which he
was
called. Were you a slave when you were called? Do not let
that
trouble you; but if a chance of liberty should come, take
it.
For the man who as a slave received the call to be a
Christian is
the Lord's freedman, and, equally, the free man who
received the
call is a slave in the service of Christ. You were
bought at a
price; do not become slaves of men. Thus each one, my
friends,
is to remain before God in the condition in which he
received his
call." (1 Corinthians 7: verses 20-24 New English
Bible)
