Many will have never even questioned just what is this green tinted paper we covet so dearly and in which each of our lives depend on in its diminishing quantities. Money...that stuff we love so much! It can set us free or confine us to a life devoid of food, shelter and clothing.

 

We really have no idea what those paper bills mean!

Here is a little info in the form of a Q&A to begin our journey on WHO issues those notes and how WE have been deceived for far too long.

Q: What is the Federal Reserve System?

A: The Federal Reserve System is not Federal; it has no reserves; and it is not a system, but rather, a criminal syndicate. It is the product of criminal syndicalist activity of an international consortium of dynastic families comprising what is commonly termed "The New World Order".

 

The Federal Reserve system is a central bank operating in the United States.

 

Although the student will find no such definition of a central bank in the textbooks of any university, a proper definition would be as follows:

  • It is the dominant financial power of the country which harbors it

  • It is entirely private-owned, although it seeks to give the appearance of a governmental institution

  • It has the right to print and issue money, the traditional prerogative of monarchs

  • It is set up to provide financing for wars

  • It functions as a money monopoly having total power over all the money and credit of the people.


Q: Are our dollar bills, which carry the label "Federal Reserve notes" government money?

A: Federal Reserve notes are actually promissory notes, promises to pay, rather than what we traditionally consider money. They are interest bearing notes issued against interest bearing government bonds, paper issued with nothing but paper backing, which is known as fiat money, because it has only the fiat of the issuer to guarantee these notes.

 

The Federal Reserve Act authorizes the issuance of these notes,

"for the purposes of making advances to Federal reserve banks... The said notes shall be obligations of the United States. They shall be redeemed in gold on demand at the Treasury Department of the United States in the District of Columbia."

Tourists visiting the Bureau of Printing and Engraving on the Mall in Washington, D.C. view the printing of Federal Reserve notes at this governmental agency on contract from the Federal Reserve System for the nominal sum of .00260 each in units of 1,000, at the same price regardless of the denomination. These notes, printed for a private bank, then become liabilities and obligations of the United States government and are added to our present $8 trillion debt.

 

The government had no debt when the Federal Reserve Act was passed in 1913.
 


Q: Who owns the stock of the Federal Reserve Banks?

A: The dynastic families of the ruling New World Order, internationalists who are loyal to no race, religion, or nation. They are families such as the Rothschilds, the Warburgs, the Schiffs, the Rockefellers, the Harrimans, the Morgans and others.
 


Q: Can I buy this stock?

A: No. The Federal Reserve Act stipulates that the stock of the Federal Reserve Banks cannot be bought or sold on any stock exchange. It is passed on by inheritance as the fortune of the elitest class. Almost half of the owners of Federal Reserve Bank stock are not Americans.
 


Q: Does the Federal Reserve Board control the daily price and quantity of money?

A: The Federal Reserve Board of Governors, meeting in private as the Federal Open Market Committee with presidents of the Federal Reserve Banks, controls all economic activity throughout the United States by issuing orders to buy government bonds on the open market, creating money out of nothing and causing inflationary pressure, or, conversely, by selling government bonds on the open market and extinguishing debt, creating deflationary pressure and causing the stock market to drop.
 


Q: Can Congress abolish the Federal Reserve System?

A: The last provision of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, Sec. 30, states,

"The right to amend, alter or repeal this Act is expressly reserved."

This language means that Congress can at any time move to abolish the Federal Reserve System, or buy back the stock and make it part of the Treasury Department, or to altar the System as it sees fit. It has never done so.

No Congress, no President has been strong enough to stand up to the foreign-controlled Federal Reserve Bank. Yet there is a catch - one that President Kennedy recognized before he was slain - the original deal in 1913 creating the Federal Reserve Bank had a simple backout clause. The investors loaned the United States Government $1 billion.

 

And the backout clause allows the United States to buy out the system for that $1 billion. If the Federal Reserve Bank were demolished and the Congress of the United States took control of the currency, as required in the Constitution, the National Debt would virtually end overnight, and the need for more taxes and even the income tax, itself.

 

Thomas Jefferson was concise in his early warning to the American nation,

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
