I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.
- Thomas Jefferson
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation then by deflation, the banks and the corporations will grow up around them, will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
-Thomas Jefferson

In the movie "V for Vendetta " , the super human hero, 'V', promises something special on the 5th of November : "Remember, remember the 5th of November, the gun powder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gun powder treason should ever be forgot." In the climactic end of the movie -- citizens, common men and women take part in a bloodless coup, the symbolic toppling of an evil government via the destruction of the symbols of their power. Their massive towers and parliament buildings, all fictions used to support the illusion of power and strength, blown to tiny pieces. When the buildings fell and the veil was pulled back, there was nothing worth fighting for -- nothing -- it was just a con, like all cons, busy working to separate men from their wealth and freedom. The movie ended with a bloodless transfer of power from the tyrannical government back to the people.
One such fiction in real life, also supported by elaborate illusions, fostering widely held delusions, is the fiction of the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve is a money supply cartel. A private organization created to coordinate production and pricing of money by members, while reducing, if not eliminating, competition to increase profitability of the cartel. Comparing the Federal Reserve to other cartels reveals significant differences from your run of the mill banana cartel. Using fear, dishonesty and bribery of the US government to become an accomplice and protector, the Federal Reserve was signed into law by duped President Woodrow Wilson in 1913. Wilson later woke up and realized what he had set loose and issued a statement of regret for signing the Federal Reserve act into law.
"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world -- no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."
Embedded and hidden in false language and a misleading name, the Federal Reserve was free to operate a stupendous embezzlement scam for the next 96 years. Operating like a "day walker" vampire, the Federal Reserve burrowed deeply into the safe chest of the US Government - sucking the taxpayer dry while protecting it's banks and 'inside' corporations from competition and the fear of failure. The Federal Reserve was a pact with the devil for the government and permanent slavery for citizens of the United States. The fiction of the Federal Reserve depends on the illusion people are better off with a cartel in control of their money supply. The slight of hand is not discovered because Americans are carefully deluded regarding the loss in purchasing power of dollar money, and tricked into agreeing to life sucking taxes using a greater good argument promoting the 'value' of income taxes paid. Those income taxes, by the way, were actually created to cover interest payments on moneys the real Federal Government borrows from the Federal Reserve. Then, over time with rising tax rates, the government was able to break free of the Constitution and, using a free money bubble, morph into the monster it is today.
To be all powerful and most consuming, the scam leverages manipulation of interest rates which make borrowing from cartel banks more attractive than other financing options, like funding projects from profits and building savings for use later as financing. The result is a nation enslaved with ever increasing debt and rising taxes. Using the real Federal Government as a bully, the rest of the world was shackled to the vampire when the dollar became the only way to purchase oil.
Slavery by the Federal Reserve results from the transfer of purchasing power from individual dollar holders to the Federal Reserve (and their minion stock holders) and the monopolistic control of national and international financing. Dollar holders and taxpayers are in effect working a greater part of every day for someone else - eventually the entire day. As controllers of the money supply, the power to eliminate savings while maximizing loan profits comes at the cost of lost purchasing power of dollars sold as loans (debt). As interest rates approach zero and sometimes (for a short time ) even lower , the scam runs into a recurring problem, commonly known as a credit crisis, concomitant with bank instability. The typical conclusion of a central bank controlled money scam is the destruction of the financial system and the decimation of the wealth of those holding paper assets priced in dollars (Federal Reserve Notes). When banks are "loaned up" (loan to reserves ratio is high) they become unstable, when people become "loaned out" (loan to income ratio high) their ability to repay loans becomes unstable. The result is a collapse of credit demand and supply, a bad situation for banks. This is the best time to penetrate the fiction of the Federal Reserve. It is the banking cartel's weakest moment.
In the book the "Creature from Jekyll Island", G. Edward Griffin quotes a magazine article of 1915 in praise of Paul Warburg, thought to be the architect of the Federal Reserve scam.
"Paul M Warburg is probably the mildest mannered man that ever personally conducted a revolution. It was a bloodless revolution: he did not attempt to rouse the populace to arms. He stepped forth armed simply with an idea. And he conquered. That's the amazing thing. A shy, sensitive man, he imposed his idea on a nation of a hundred million people.. "
Also in the book Griffin quotes Anthony Sutton, former Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution for War, Revolution and Peace, and also Professor of Economics at California State University, Los Angeles:
"Warburg's revolutionary plan to get American Society to go to work for Wall Street was astonishingly simple. Even today,...academic theoreticians cover their blackboards with meaningless equations, and the general public struggles in bewildered confusion with inflation and the coming credit collapse, while the quite simple explanation of the problem goes undiscussed and almost entirely uncomprehended. The Federal Reserve System is a legal private monopoly of the money supply operated for the benefit of the few under the guise of protecting and promoting the public interest.--"
Thus we see that the FEDeral Reserve's scam was really a revolution of sorts, leading to a coup that placed us all in financial slavery to the them, the cartel of money.
So , just as an idea - not to be tried in real life of course, but as an exciting movie plot, it might be easy to remove the shackles of banker slavery and throw out the cartel -- and it could be done as a bloodless coup. In this movie the Hero, lets call him 'B' would invite real-money knowledgeable people, (ie., gold and silver believers ) to act on a particular day, perhaps the fifth of November in reverence to 'V' or December 23, the day the Federal Reserve act was passed, by removing all their funds from bank accounts and using them to buy gold and silver. With just the right amount of support, this act could eliminate two vampires with just one stake - the vampire of lost purchasing power and taxation and the vampire of interest rate control via gold and silver price manipulation. From just a simple and legal action of converting your deposits of Federal Reserve Notes into real money, the walls of the monetary prison would fall and the dawn would rise with the vampires in flames.
The end of a fiction is just as easy as pulling your support , because after all its just a fiction. This scam and the slavery it requires collapses with the simple act of opting out. Stop the game by quitting the game. Unlike the monkey that will not stop holding the ball, even when he can't get his hand back .. we can think and we can easily take away the bankers power .. bloodless -- practical , easy -- we just let go of the ball and pull out our hand. The title of such a movie might be "B' for Bankers Go Bust ??
In real life, we can add more metal to our personal 'Fort' -- A Gold and Silver fortress against the destruction of your currency.
