Written by Pastor Sheldon Emry. The book was written around 1960. Note that there are references to dates after 1960 -- they must have been added by someone. THE NATIONAL DEBT Between 1918 and 1941, on the eve of World War II, the national debt just about doubled - from $25 to $49 billion. Between 1942 and 1952, the debt went from $72 billion to $265 billion. In 1962 it was $303 billion. Eight years later, in 1970, it was $383 billion. Between 1971 and 1976 it rose from $409 billion to $631 billion. The estimated debt at the end of 1977 is $727 billion, and 1978 it is expected to top $800 billion - having nearly doubled in eight years. In the eighties it will exceed $1 trillion. If the present trend continues, and there is no evidence whatsoever that it will not continue, we can expect the national debt to nearly double again within the next six to eight years. By then, the interest on the debt alone should be in the $400 billion a year range. Eventually, the government will own nothing, the people will own nothing, and the banks will own everything. Thomas Jefferson said, (note 1) The Jefferson quote should be checked: it may not be a true quote. THREE TYPES OF CONQUEST 1) The most common is conquest by war. In time, though, this method usually fails, because the captives hate the captors and rise up and drive them out if they can. Much force is needed to maintain control, making it expensive for the conquering nation. 2) A second method is by religion, where men are convinced they must give their captors part of their earnings as "obedience to God." Such a captivity is vulnerable to philosophical exposure or by overthrow by armed force, since religion by its nature lacks military force to regain control, once its captives become disillusioned. 3) The third method can be called economic conquest. It takes place when nations are placed under "tribute" without the use of visible force or coercion, so that the victims do not realize they have been conquered. "Tribute" is collected from them in the form of "legal" debts and taxes, and they believe they are paying it for their own good, for the good of others, or to protect all from some enemy. Their captors become their "benefactors" and "protectors". Although this is the slowest to impose. It is often quite long lasting, as the captives do not see any military force arrayed against them, their religion is left more or less intact, they have freedom to speak and travel, and they participate in "elections" for their rulers. Without realizing it, they are conquered, and the instruments of their own society are used to transfer their wealth to their captors and make the conquest complete. In 1900 the average American worker paid few taxes and had little debt. Last year (1984) payments on debts and taxes took more than half of what he earned. Is it possible a form of conquest has been imposed on America? Read the following pages and decide for yourself. And may God have mercy on this once debt-free and great nation. Too few Americans realize why Christian statesmen wrote into Article I of the U. S. Constitution: They did this, as we will show, in prayerful hope it would prevent "love of money" from destroying the Republic they had founded. We shall see how subversion of Article I has brought on us the "evil" of which God's Word has warned. MONEY IS MAN'S ONLY "CREATION" Pretty good argument. Is it absolutely true? If it is, it might explain the natural rejection of the concept that money is created out of thin air. People can understand intuitively how a board is created because they know (at least subconsciously) that the tree preceded the board. But with money -- they can't conceive of the thing that preceded the money. If "money is man"s only creation" is accepted as logical -- that might help us all accept paper money as legitimate MONEY "CREATING" IS PROFITABLE Auto makers sell their cars for a profit %1 to %2 (note 4) (Whether the "%" is 1 to 2 is accurate is not important -- the argument would hold at any %) above the cost of manufacture and it is considered good business. But money "manufacturers" have no limit on their profits, since a few cents will print a $1 bill or a $10,000 bill. That profit is part of our story, but first let consider another unique characteristic of the thing - money, the love of which is the "root of all evil". AN ADEQUATE MONEY SUPPLY IS NEEDED An overstatement, you say? BANKERS' DEPRESSION OF THE 1930 ERA In the early 1930s, Bankers, the only source of new money and credit, deliberately refused loans to industries, stores and farms. Payments on existing loans were required however, and money rapidly disappeared from circulation. Goods were available to be purchased, jobs waiting to be done, but the lack of money brought the nation to a standstill. By this simple ploy America was put in a "depression" and the greedy Bankers took possession of hundreds of thousands of farms, homes, and business properties. The people were told, "times are hard" and "money is short". Not understanding the system, they were cruelly robbed of their earnings, their savings, and their property. We believe this is absolutely true. We know of no other logical explanation for the Depression. Why isn't this commonly known? MONEY FOR PEACE? NO! / MONEY FOR WAR? YES! With the sudden increase in money, people were hired, farms sold their produce, factories went to two shifts, mines reopened, and "The Great Depression" was over! Some politicians were blamed for it, and others took credit for ending it. The truth is the lack of money (caused by Bankers) brought on the depression, and adequate money ended it. The people were never told that simple truth and in this article we will endeavor to show, how these same Bankers, who control our money and credit have used their control to plunder America and place us in bondage. The word "Banksters", when used to describe those who control our money and credit have used their control to plunder America and place us in bondage may well be justified. POWER TO COIN AND REGULATE MONEY Since the Federal Congress was the only legislative body, subject to all the citizens at the ballot box, it was, to their [Our Founding Fathers'] minds, the only safe depository, of so much profit and so much power. They wrote it out in simple, but all inclusive terms: "Congress shall have the power to Coin Money and Regulate the Value Thereof". HOW THE PEOPLE LOST CONTROL TO THE FEDERAL RESERVE (note 9) This is obviously an opinion and can stay as written Prior to 1913, America was a prosperous, powerful, and growing nation, at peace with its neighbors, and the envy of the world. But - in December of 1913, Congress, with many members away for the Christmas Holidays, ... (note 10) this should be rewritten in less dogmatic terms -- the writer probably does not know how many members were "away for the Christmas holidays" -- although it is possible this information was known. ... passed what has since been known as THE FEDERAL RESERVE ACT. (for the full story of how this infamous legislation was forced through our Congress, read "Conquest or Consent", by W. D. Vennard). (note 11) "Conquest or Consent", should be consulted Omitting the burdensome details, it simply** authorized the establishment of a Federal Reserve Corporation, with a Board of Directors (The Federal Reserve Board) to run it, and the United States was divided into 12 Federal Reserve "Districts". **The word "simply" is probably not true as indicated by the next words which show that the law did other things. Stating the motives is not helpful to the argument -- it could have been written in less inflammatory terms. Otherwise it is clearly opinion and is quite a good argument. If this is true, it is wrong and should be corrected. It would have been nice if they suggested at this point, how this could be corrected MORE DISASTROUS THAN PEARL HARBOR Since 1913, they have "created" tens of billions of dollars in money and credit, which, as their own personal property, they can lend to our government, and our people, at interest (usury)(A). "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer" had become the secret policy of our National Government. An example of the process of "creation" and its conversion to peoples "debt" will aid our understanding. THEY PRINT IT - WE BORROW IT AND PAY THEM INTEREST (usury) (note 15)) We shall start with the need for money. (note 16) The Federal Government, having spent more than it has taken from its citizens in taxes, needs, for the sake of illustration, $1,000,000,000. Since it does not have the money, and Congress has given away its authority to "create" it, the Government must go to the "creators" for the $1 billion. ** The word "usury" is an archaic synonym for "interest". So Congress authorizes the Treasury Department to print $1,000,000,000. in U.S. Bonds, which are then delivered to the Federal Reserve Bankers. This is obviously hypothetical and therefor OK The Federal Reserve then pays the cost of printing the $1 billion (about $1,000) and makes the exchange. The government then uses the money to pay its obligations. What are the results of this fantastic transaction? Well, $1 billion in government bills are paid all right, but the Government has now indebted the people. to the Bankers. for $1 billion, on which the people must pay interest! Tens of thousands of such transactions have taken place, since 1913, so that by the 1980's, the U.S. Government is indebted, to the Bankers for over $1,000,000,000,000 (trillion), on which, the people pay over $100 billion a year, in interest (usury), alone, with no hope of ever paying off the principle. AND THERE'S MORE Under this unholy system, those United States Bonds have, now, become "assets" of the banks, in the Reserve System, which they, then, use as "reserves" to "reate"more â"credit" to lend. (note 18) Current "reserve" requirements allow them to use that $1 billion, in bonds, to "create" as much as $15 billion, in new "credit", to lend to states, municipalities, to individuals and businesses. (note 18) Added to the original $1 billion, they could have $16 billion of "created credit", out in loans, paying them interest, with their only cost being $1,000 for printing the original $1 billion! (note 18) (note 17) (note 17) At the present time, it seems Congress should directly or indirectly challenge the existing law as being unconstitutional. The President and the Courts may or may not agree -- but certainly the general public would agree if they were made aware of the situation. (note 18) This is all true and in accordance with the federal laws concerning banks.) Since the U.S. Congress has not issued Constitutional money since 1863 (over 100 years), in order for the people to have money, to carry on trade and commerce, they are forced to borrow the "created credit" of the Monopoly Bankers and pay them usury-interest! (see note 18) Billions for the Bankers - Part 2 of 3 - (note 19) -- Can't the case be closed at this point? Any further argument is liable to weaken the very effective argument that has, thus far, been set forth -- maybe we do not need more?
After depressing the price, the Bankers' agents buy large blocks of the stock, after which, sometime later, the multi-million dollar loan is approved, the stock rises, and is, then, sold for a profit. In this manner, billions of dollars are made, with which to buy more stock. Using this method, since 1913, the Bankers and their agents have purchased secret, or open, control, of almost, every, large corporation in America. Using that control, they, then, force the corporations to borrow huge sums, from their banks, so that corporate earnings are siphoned off, in the form of interest, to the banks. This leaves little as actual "profits", which can be paid as dividends, and explains, why stock prices are so depressed, while the banks reap billions, in interest, from corporate loans. (see note 20) In effect, the bankers get almost all of the profits, while individual stockholders are left holding the bag. The millions of working families of America are, now, indebted, to the few thousand, banking families, for twice the assessed value, of the entire United States. (see note 20) And these Banking families obtained that debt, against us, for the cost of paper, ink, and bookkeeping! (see note 20) THE INTEREST AMOUNT IS NEVER CREATED (see note 20) When the State and people borrow large sums, we seem to prosper. However, the Bankers "create" only the amount of the principal, of each loan, never the extra, amount needed, to pay the interest (usury). The argument in the previous paragraph is a ridiculous conclusion to a widespread myth that a healthy economy requires the government to create the interest that borrowers are required to pay on loans -- that is simply nonsense. Debts are usually paid from (a) earnings, profits or savings of the debtor Therefore, the new money never equals the new debt that is added. (see note 20) The previous sentence is nonsense. Under this kind of system, where new debt always exceeds the new money, no matter how much, or how little, is borrowed, the total debt, increasingly, outstrips the amount of money, available to pay the debt. The people can never, ever get out of debt! (see note 20) An example will show the viciousness of this usury-debt system, with its built in shortage of money. (see note 20) IF $60,000 IS BORROWED, $255,931.20 MUST BE PAID BACK !!! (see note 20) The borrower then writes checks to the builder, subcontractors, etc., who, in turn, write checks. However, and this is the fatal flaw in the usury system, the only new money created and put into circulation is the amount of the loan, $60,000. (nonsense) Even so, this borrower (and those, who follow him, in ownership of the property) must earn and take out of circulation $255,931, almost $200,000 more than he put in circulation, when he borrowed the original $60,000! (By the way, it is this interest that cheats all families out of nicer homes. It is not that they cannot afford them; it is because the Bankers' usury forces them to pay for 4 homes to get one!) (see note 20) Every new loan puts the same process in operation. Each borrower adds a small sum to the total money supply. when he borrows, but the payments on the loan (because of interest) then deduct a much larger sum from the total money supply. (see note 20) There is. therefore. no way all debtors can pay off the money- lenders. As they pay the principle and interest, the money in circulation disappears. All they can do is struggle against each other, borrowing more, and more, from the money lenders each generation. (see note 20) Proverbs 22:7 has come to pass in America: "The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender". (see note 20) SMALL LOANS DO THE SAME THINGIf you have not quite grasped the impact of the above, let us consider a small auto loan for 3 years. at 18% interest. Every loan, of Banker created money (credit), causes the same thing to happen. Since this has happened millions of times, since 1913, (and continues today), you can see why America has gone from a prosperous, debt-free nation to a debt-ridden nation, where, practically, every home, farm and business is paying usury-tribute, to the Bankers, on personal, local, state. and federal debt totals, more than the combined earnings of 25% of the working people. THIS IS WHY BANKERS PROSPER IN GOOD TIMES OR BAD THE COST TO YOU? - EVENTUALLY, EVERYTHING! (note 20) By 1920, after only six years of Federal Reserve shenanigans, the Federal debt had jumped to $24 billion, or $228 per person. In 1960, the Federal debt reached $284 billion, or $1,575 per citizen and state and local debts were mushrooming. By 1981, the Federal debt passed $1 trillion and was growing exponentially, as the Bankers tripled the interest rates. State and local debts are, now, MORE than the Federal, and with business and personal debts totaled over $6 trillion, 3 times the value of all land and buildings in America. If we signed over, to the money lenders, all of America, we would still owe them 2 more Americas (plus their usury, of course!) However, they are too cunning to take title to everything. They will instead leave you with some illusion of ownership. so you, and your children, will continue to work, and pay the bankers more of your earnings. on ever increasing debts. To understand it really is a conquest, go back to the front and read the Three Types of Conquest again. (see note 20) COMPARISON TO GAMBLING However, the Total number of chips available to play the game (carry on trade and business) will decrease rapidly. (see note 20) The game will get low on chips, and some will run out. If they want to continue to play, they must buy or borrow them, from the Banker.The Banker will sell (lend) them ONLY, if the player signs a mortgage, agreeing to give the Banker some real property (car, home, farm, business, etc.), if he cannot make periodic payments, to pay back, all, the chips, plus some extra chips (interest).The payments must be made on time, whether he wins (makes a profit), or not. It is easy to see that no matter how skillfully they play, eventually the Bankers will end up, with all of his original chips back, and except for the very best players, the rest, if they stay in long enough, will lose to the Bankers their homes, their farms, their businesses, perhaps, even their cars, watches, rings, and the shirts off their backs! Our real life situation is MUCH WORSE, than any poker game. In a poker game, no one is forced to go into debt, and anyone can quit at any time, and keep whatever he still has. But in real life, even, if we borrow little ourselves, from the Bankers, the local, State, and Federal Governments borrow billions, in our name, squander it, then, confiscate our earnings, from us and pay it back, to the Bankers, with interest. We are forced to play the game, and no one can leave except by death. We pay as long as we live, and our children pay, after we die. If we cannot pay, the same government sends the police to take our property, and give it to the Bankers. The Bankers risk nothing, in the game; they just collect their percentage and win it all. In Las Vegas, and at other gambling centers, all games are rigged to pay the owner a percentage, and they rake in millions. The Federal Reserve Bankers game is also rigged, and it pays off in billions! In recent years Bankers added real cards to their game. Credit cards are promoted, as a convenience and a great boon to trade. For everything on this page (see note 20) YES, IT'S POLITICAL, TOO MOUNTING DEBTS AND WAR Our two large political parties have become its servants, the various departments of government its spending agencies, and the Internal Revenue Service, its collection agency. Unknown to the people, it operates in close cooperation, with similar apparati, in other nations, which are, also, disguised as governments. Some, we are told, are friends. Some, we are told, are enemies. Enemies are built up through international manipulations, and used to frighten the American people, into going billions of dollars into debt, to the Bankers, for military preparedness, foreign aid to stop communism, minority rights, etc. (see note 20) When the war is over, we have gained nothing, but we are scores of billions of dollars, more in debt, to the Bankers, which was the reason for the war, in the first place! AND THEREâ'S MORE Family, morals, love of country, the Christian religion, all that is honorable, is being swept away, while they try to build their new, subservient man. Our people have become tenants and debt-slaves, to the Bankers, and their agents, in the land our fathers conquered. It is conquest through the most, gigantic fraud and swindle, in the history of mankind. And we remind you again: The key to their wealth and power, over us, is their ability to create money out of nothing, and lend it to us, at interest. If they had not been allowed to do that, they would never have gained secret control of our nation. God Almighty warned, in the Bible, that one of the curses, which would come upon His people, for disobeying His laws was: The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shall come down very low. He shall lend to thee, and thou shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and thou shall be the tail. (Deut. 28:44-45) (A) For everything on this page (see note 20) Most of the owners of the large banks, in America, are of eastern-european ancestry, and connected with the Rothschild European banks. Has that warning come to fruition in America? Let us, now, consider the correct method of providing the medium of exchange (money) needed by our people. THE CONSTITUTIONAL WAY - EVERY CITIZEN A STOCKHOLDER (note 22) This part is very good -- being a positive argument showing that government control of the money supply is not needed -- but it still runs the risk of muddying the water. A $60,000 loan would require only $60,000 repayment, not $255,931, as it is now. Everyone, who supplied materials and labor, for the home, would get paid, just, as they do today, but the Bankers would NOT get $195,931 in usury-interest, AND THAT IS WHY THEY RIDICULE AND DESTROY ANYONE, SUGGESTING GOVERNMENT (CITIZENS) MONEY, WITHOUT INTEREST (USURY), AND WITHOUT DEBT. Perhaps nobody in the history of the world ever lent money to a stranger with no interest. What would be the incentive to do that? The owner of the money would obviously be more inclined to use that money in a project that was aimed at making a profit he could keep. (note 23) What if all these facts are not true? Showing even one of them to be wrong would weaken the main argument Abraham Lincoln did it, in 1863, to help finance the Civil War. He was later assassinated, by an agent of the Rothchild Bank. (see note 23) No debt-free, or interest-free, money has been issued in America since then. Several Arab nations issue interest-free loans to their citizens, today. (Now you can understand, what all the commotion in the Mid-East is all about, and why the Bankers-owned press is propagandizing American citizens, to think of the Arabs, as terrorists). (see note 23) The Saracen Empire forbade interest on money, for 1,000 years, and its wealth outshone, even Saxon Europe. (note 24) Good historical information -- but beside the point Mandarin China issued its own money, interest-free, and debt-free, and historians and collectors of art, today, consider those centuries to be China's time of greatest wealth, culture and peace. (see note 24) Germany issued debt-free, and interest-free money, from 1935, and on, accounting for its startling rise from the depression, to a World power in 5 years. Germany financed its entire government, and war operations, from 1935 to 1945, without gold and without debt, and it took the whole Capitalist and Communist world to destroy the German power, over Europe, and bring Europe back, under the heel of the Bankers. (Now you have a better understanding of what World War II was all about). (see note 24) Such history of money does not, even, appear in the textbooks of public (government) schools, today.(see note 24) Issuing money, which does not have to be paid back, in interest, leaves the money available, to use in the exchange of goods and services, and its only, continuing cost is replacement, as the paper wears out. STABLE MONEY But if the government was about to collapse our currency would be worthless. Under the present debt-usury system, the extra burden of usury, forces workers and businesses, to demand more money, for the work and goods to pay their, ever, increasing debts and taxes. This increase, in prices and wages, is called inflation. (see note 22) Bankers, politicians, and economists blame it on everything, but the real cause, which is the usury levied on money and debt, by the Bankers. With an adequate supply of interest-free money, little borrowing would be required, and prices would be established by people and goods, not by debts and usury. CITIZEN'S CONTROL Since the creation of money, and its issuance, in sufficient quantity, would be one of the few functions of Congress, the voter could decide, on a candidate, by his stand on money, instead of hundreds of lesser, and deliberately confusing, subjects, which are presented to us today. And since money is, and would remain, a national function, local differences, or local factions, would not be able to sway the people from the nations (citizens) interest. All other problems, except the nations defense, would be taken care of in the State, County, or City governments, where they are best handled, and most easily corrected. An adequate national defense would be provided, by the same citizen-controlled Congress, and there would be no Bankers, behind the scenes, bribing politicians, to give $200 billion of American military equipment, to other nations, disarming us, while alien nations prepare to attack, and invade the United States of America. A DEBT FREE AMERICA Criminals could not become politicians, nor would politicians become criminals, in the pay of money-lenders. Our officials, at all government levels, would be working for the people, instead of devising means to spend more money, to place us further in debt to the Bankers. We would get out of entangling, foreign alliances that have engulfed us in four, major wars, and scores of minor wars, since the Federal Reserve Act was passed. A debt free America would mean, mothers would not have to work. With mother at home, juvenile delinquency would decrease rapidly. The elimination of the usury and debt would be the equivalent of a 50% raise, in the purchasing power of every worker. With this cancellation of all debts, the return, to the people, of all the property and wealth, the parasitic Bankers, and their quasi-legal agents, have stolen by usury and fraud, and the ending of their theft of $300 billion (or more), every year from the people, America would be prosperous, and powerful, beyond the wildest dreams, of its citizens, today. And we would be at peace! (For a Bible example of cancellation of debts to money lenders and restoration of property and money to the people, read Nehemiah 5:1-13). WHY YOU HAVE NOT KNOWN These agents control the information available to our people. They manipulate public opinion, elect whom they will, locally and nationally, and never expose the crooked money system. They promote school bonds, expensive and detrimental farm programs, urban renewal, foreign aid, and many other schemes, which will put the people, more into debt, to the Bankers. Thoughtful citizens wonder, why billions are spent on one program, and billions on another, which may duplicate it or even nullify it, such as paying some farmers not to raise crops, while at the same time building dams, or canals, to irrigate more farm land. Crazy or stupid? Neither. The goal is more debt. Thousands of government sponsored ways, to waste money, go on continually. Most make no sense, but they are never exposed, for what they really are, builders of billions for the Bankers and debts for the people. CONTROLLED NEWS AND INFORMATION Commentators on Radio and Television, preachers, educators, and politicians, blame the workers as wasteful, lazy, or spend-thrift, and blame the workers and consumers, for the increase in debts and the inflation of prices, when they know the cause is the debt-money system, itself. When some, few, patriotic people, or organizations, who know the truth, begin to expose them, or try to stop any of their mad schemes, they are ridiculed and smeared as right wing extremists, super patriots, ultra rightists, bigots, racists, even fascists and anti-semites. Some, who are especially vocal in their exposure of the treason, against the people, are harassed by government agencies, such as EPA, OSHA, the IRS, and others, causing them financial loss, or bankruptcy. TELL THE PEOPLE Love of country, compassion for your race, and concern for your children should make you deeply interested in this, America's greatest problem, for our generation has not suffered under the yoke, as the coming generations will. Usury and taxes will continue to take a larger and larger part, of the annual earnings, of the people, and put them into the pockets of the Bankers, and their political agents. Increasing government regulations will prevent citizen protest and opposition, to their control. Is it possible that your grandchildren will own, neither, home, nor car, but will live in government owned apartments, and ride to work in government ownedâ buses, (both paying usury to the Bankers), and be allowed to keep just enough of their earnings, to buy a minimum of food and clothing, while their rulers wallow in luxury? America will not shake off her Banker-controlled dictatorship, as long as the people are ignorant of the hidden controllers. The international financiers, who control most of the governments, of the worlds nations, and most sources of information, seem to have us, completely, within their grasp. They are afraid of only one thing: an awakened, patriotic citizenry, armed with the truth, and with a trust in Almighty God, for deliverance. The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord, shall be safe (Proverbs29:25). May Jesus Christ, both, enlighten, and have mercy on America. The scoundrel often wraps himself in the flag and recites Bible verses. (mrc) - 8/17/2010 |
