I posted this comment earlier in another thread. It gets deeper but I'll let whom ever of you wants to dig deeper go down the rabbit hole. I went down that hole and spent a lot of time digging years ago and it's ugly down there. But I digress, here's the short version:
Most people have no idea what the Federal Reserve is, who owns it or what it does. Nor do they know how we managed to get stuck with it. The US Constitution plainly states in Article I, Section 8 (the enumerated powers) that only Congress has the power to coin (mint or print) money. Yet we have a central bank named the Federal Reserve that isn't a part of Congress or any other part of the central (federal) government that "coins" our money. Confusing eh?
Let's start with the The Titanic, she was built in the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland. The construction was financed by J.P.Morgan an avid proponent and promoter of the Federal Reserve Act. On April 15, 1912 she sank on her maiden voyage taking around 1500 lives with her.
Her passengers were from all walks of life, but 3 of her passengers are what we are interested in here.
• John Jacob Astor IV - the richest - a German-American millionaire who had made his fortune in real estate and was the great grandson of John Jacob Astor, founder of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York.
• Benjamin Guggenheim - another very rich man and heir to the family’s mining business.
• Isidor Straus - the German-born co-owner of Macy’s department store in New York.
What did these 3 men have in common?
They were all very respected, they had the ear of politicians and they were vehemently opposed to the Federal Reserve Act.
What else did they have in common?
They were all given free tickets for a luxury cruise on the maiden voyage of the Titanic.
Do you believe in coincidences?
April 15, 1912 - Titanic goes down with the 3 staunchest opponents of the Federal Reserve Act on board.
The rest is a fast track:
Feb. 1913 - the evil bastards passed the 16th Amendment. Which by the way was never ratified by ¾ of the states as required. They passed it anyway. (our income tax pays the interest on the money government borrows from the Federal Reserve)
Dec. 1913 - they passed The Creature aka Federal Reserve Act.
But wait, there's more to come...
July 28, 1914 - war breaks out in Europe.
American's wanted no part of that war. The American citizens still clung to the philosophy of Washington and Jefferson.
Per their speeches:
"It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world." -- George Washington (Farewell Address)
"Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations-entangling alliances with none." -- Thomas Jefferson (Inauguration Speech)
April 6, 1917 - America gets in the war. By using propaganda (U-boats killing Americans) and ties to ties to Britain, the politicians got us in the war. Sound familiar? These same tactics work every time. It matters not the era they are used. How many times have these same tactics been used to fool the citizens into wanting war? JFK found out about and put the brakes on one, Operation Northwoods. Then he swore to splinter the CIA. Another was the Gulf of Tonkin Event that got us boots on the ground in Vietnam, yet it never happened. And one more...dare I suggest 9/11? We've been at war for 17 years over that one.
Americans aren't cowards, as they have proven time and time again. So when you can't get enough American men up to fight in a war without having to force them that says all you need to know about how the people feel about that war. In general Americans thought it was none of our business. So when the government can't get enough men up to fight a war from a country of millions of brave men, that tells me those men don't think that's a war they should be fighting.
So...
May 18, 1917 - Congress passed the Selective Service Act. The Draft begins.
And so began the very first world war in the history of the planet, appropriately name WWI or The Big War. Guess who finances both sides of that war and every war since? If you said the Federal Reserve you get a cookie.
I'm American, born and bred. My mother is NDN (Cheyenne/Cherokee), I went to 'Nam, I love this country...but I'll tell anyone face to face that America isn't a sovereign nation. It hasn't been a sovereign nation for a long time and it never will be a sovereign nation as long as it allows a foreign owned and operated central bank control it's treasure. Until the FR is eradicated we will be slaves as we have been. Your children, just as you and I were, are being born into slavery.
