On Crime, Bankers and Politicians

There exists today a crime syndicate so enormous and so powerful as to defy the imagination. Its membership is made up of bankers, businessmen, politicians and other power elite. It is international in scope and its goals are all encompassing.

When you are discussing with someone crimes committed by politicians, people mistakenly tend to think that you are talking about politics, when in fact, you are talking about crime. Consider, if you were discussing a robbery committed by a plumber, would you be talking about plumbing or crime? If you were discussing the embezzlement of funds from a company by an accountant, would you be talking about accounting or crime? So, if you are talking about crimes committed by a politician, are you talking about politics or crime?

Are there any politicians that are or were criminals? We are most recently familiar with the case of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. The April 3, 2009 issue of The Wall Street Journal reported that a federal grand jury 75 page, 19 count indictment charged him with a variety of felonies, including allegations that he schemed to auction off the Senate seat vacated by President Barack Obama. He was charged with sixteen felony counts, including racketeering, wire fraud, extortion conspiracy and lying to federal agents.

Indeed, political scandals, crime and corruption are so commonplace among politicians that Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia fills 45 printed pages with cases where politicians were involved in one scandal after another. These may be viewed at:

So, it should then come as no surprise to find today politicians as members of the biggest and most powerful crime syndicate of all time.

In his monumental 1311 page book "Tragedy and Hope, A History Of The World In Our Time", Professor Carroll Quigley describes the membership and goals of this syndicate. Here is what he had to say in part:

On page 950 of the book, he states: "There does exist and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network-------. I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years in the early 1960's, to examine its papers and secret records."

"And on page 324, the author describes in part, the goal of the syndicate: "----the powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled ----------------by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank of International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland; a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank--------------------- sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world. In each country, the power of the central bank rested largely on its control of credit and money supply."

So now we come to the central bank in the United States, the Federal Reserve Bank, which is itself a corporation, owned by a cartel of private banks.

To understand the background of the Federal Reserve, the relationship between bankers and politicians, and the Fed's inflationary impact, allow me to quote extensively from an article titled "How the Monetary Mayhem Began" authored by James Perloff and published in the April 13, 2009 issue of The New American magazine:

"The Fed was established when Congress passed The Federal Reserve Act in 1913. But the original legislation, containing the essential points of that act, was introduced by Senator Nelson Aldrich, front man for the banking community."

"John D. Rockefeller employed Senator Nelson Aldrich to do the banker's business in Congress. Rockefeller's son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., married Senator Aldrich's daughter. "

"The legislation he introduced in the Senate, which became the basis of the Federal Reserve System, was not written by him. It was crafted by several of the world's richest bankers, at a secret nine day meeting on Jekyll Island off the Georgia coast."

"Attending the meeting were agents of the world's three greatest banking houses: those of John D. Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, and the Rothchilds. Together they represented an estimated 25 percent of the world's wealth."

"But the most important figure, credited with running the meeting, was Paul Warburg, who belonged to a prominent German banking family associated with the Rothchilds. The latter, the world's most powerful banking dynasty, had grown rich by establishing central banks that loaned money to European countries. The patriarch, Amschel Mayer Rothchild, said: "Permit me to issue and control money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.""

"The axis of Warburg/Rothchild, Morgan and Rockefeller, and their Wall Street confederates, became known as the money trust. It worked in unison to force a central bank on America."

"----despite insufficient income, the government always meets its obligations. It continues to pay federal employees, defense contractors, Social Security and Medicare recipients, etc. How does the government manage this?

Here, Mr. Perloff gives an example based on an illustration provided in G. Edward Griffin's book, "The Creature From Jekyll Island": "Let's say that, this week, the federal government is short one billion dollars needed to pay its employees. It sends a Treasury official to the Federal Reserve building, where a Fed officer literally writes out a check for $1 Billion to the U.S. treasury. This check, however, is not based on any assets the Fed actually holds. It is "fiat money", created from nothing."

"For the bankers, the system meant countless profits, but for the rest of us, countless inflation. Why? Because every time the Fed creates dollars from nothing, it increases the amount of money in America, thereby decreasing money's value."

"A textbook example of inflation struck Germany in the early 1920's. Defeated in World War I, Germany was compelled to pay the Allies massive reparations. To meet this obligation, it printed huge quantities of money. This decreased the value of the German currency so badly that by November 1923, a loaf of bread cost 80 billion marks. People carted paper money around in wheelbarrows; some used it as fuel for stoves."

"Incidentally, Washington politicians love this system. By letting the Fed finance their expenditures with money made from nothing, politicians know they can spend without raising taxes."

"The solution to the Fed? Get rid if it!"

In response to Federal Reserve's decision to pump another $1.15 trillion dollars into the economy, the following quote is from the article, "Correction Please", in the April 27, 2009 issue of The New American magazine:

"The Fed's latest inflationary campaign is stunning. Even before its recent infusion of greenbacks, the money stock (M1) had more than doubled in about a YEAR---FROM $800 BILLION TO $1.7 Trillion."

And in the April 13, 2009 issue of The New American, we find in the article, "CFR Corporate Members Get Lion's Share of Bailout Funds", the statement; "The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the establishment powerhouse , is well funded by corporate members. And many of these entities have also been major beneficiaries of TARP, TALF, and Fed bailouts." We find in the article, the following CFR corporate members helping themselves to taxpayer money created primarily by the Federal Reserve out of thin air: Goldman Sachs-$10 billion; Merrill Lynch, through its corporate parent, Bank of America-$45 billion; Citibank-$50 billion; Morgan Stanley-$10 billion; Bank of New York/Mellon Corporation- $3 billion; JP Morgan Chase-$4 billion. " --- more than $1 trillion in bailout funds for CFR corporate members, easily the lion's share of the total bailout funds awarded to date."

The wealth of the American people has been looted just as surely as if someone had emptied their bank accounts without their permission. So, are we talking about banking or crime? Are we talking about bankers or criminals? Are we talking about politics or crime? Are we talking about politicians or criminals? We need look no further than to determine who did the looting. If someone is looting the wealth of Americans, let's begin to refer to them as criminals.

So, what can we do?

The Federal Reserve Bank has never been audited! That can be changed. H.R. 1207, the "Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009", would provide the first true audit of the Federal Reserve. It would be a powerful tool for exposing exactly how the Fed controls our economy and our freedom through its creation of money out of thin air, and could play a decisive role in creating grassroots and congressional support for restoring sound money and phasing out the Federal Reserve!

Please write or otherwise contact Georgia Senators Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson as well as your congressman (Paul Broun, in the Georgia 10^th District) and urge them to support H.R. 1207, which already has 58 cosponsors. (143 cosponsors as of May 8th)

P.S.

Several years ago, I read the incredible book by G. Edward Griffin with the title, "The Creature from Jekyll Island" referred to above in the article by James Perloff. The book describes how bankers and their political allies created this creature, the Federal Reserve Bank, for their own benefit. The book also explained in detail the dishonest process through which the wealth of American citizens is taken from them through the activities of the Federal Reserve Bank. (The book is available at www.ShopJBS.org)

I was searching the internet for the title of this book when I discovered a video featuring the book's author himself reviewing the process through which we are even now being robbed in the bank bailouts. Click on the link below to view the video, a video that will help you understand just how you are being robbed and who the robbers are. The video has some length to it however it is worth the investment of your time. After all, it is your wealth being stolen.
