“The moral principles and precepts contained
in the Scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions

“On every question of construction, let
us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was

was passed.”

“A government big enough to give you everything

“The utopian schemes of leveling

and actions which are done not by means of any underlying
principle or logic), despotic (ruling
with absolute political power) and, in
our government, unconstitutional.” | William Vincent

“I sincerely believe that banking establishments
are more dangerous than standing armies... If the American people
ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency, first
by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that

until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers
conquered.” | Thomas Jefferson

As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an

“Rothschild, the lord and master of the money
markets of the world, and of course virtually lord and master of
everything else. He literally held the revenues of southern Italy
in pawn, and monarchs and ministers of all countries courted his

but merely control the machinery of government, being themselves
controlled by the hidden hand.” | Benjamin Disraeli,

“It [Central Bank]
gives the National Bank almost complete control of national finance.
Those few who understand the system [check book money and credit]
will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependant on
its favours, that there will be no opposition from that class, while
on the other hand, the great body of the people, mentally incapable
of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from
the system, will bear its burden without complaint, and perhaps
without even suspecting that the system is inimical
[contrary] to their interests.”
| Rothschild Brothers of London, 1863
“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had
men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in
the United States —in the fields of commerce and manufacturing—are
afraid of somebody. They know that there is a power somewhere so
organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete,
so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath
when they speak in condemnation of it.” | Woodrow Wilson
“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.”
| Woodrow Wilson, 1919: regarding his signing the
1913 Federal Reserve Act.
“We have come to be one of the worst ruled,
one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments

“Mr. Chairman, we have in this country one
of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer
to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks. The
Federal Board, has cheated the Government of the United States and
the people of the United States out of enough money to pay the national
debt. This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people
of the U.S.; has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted
our government. It has done this through the defects of the law
under which it operates, through the maladministration of that law
by the Federal Reserve Board, and through the corrupt practices
of the moneyed vultures who control it.” | Louis T. McFadden,
Congressman and head of Congressional Banking Committee for 11 years;
before Congress June 10, 1932

“The Trilateral Commission is international
...(and)...is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation
of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the

represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate
the four centers of power: Political - Monetary - Intellectual -
and Ecclesiastical.” | Barry Goldwater , U.S.

“Most Americans have no real understanding
of the operation of the international moneylenders... The accounts
of he Federal Reserve System have never been audited. It operates
outside the control of Congress and... manipulates the credit of
the United States.” | Barry Goldwater , U.S.
Senator AZ.
“The Federal Reserve really, even though
it is not part of the Federal Government, it is more powerful than
the Federal Government. It’s more powerful than the President, Congress
and the courts... The Federal Reserve determines what the average
person’s car payment is going to be, what their house payment is
going to be and whether they have a job or not. And I submit to
you that’s total control. And the Federal Reserve is the largest
single creditor of the United States Government. What does Proverbs
tell us? ‘The borrower is servant to the lender.’” | Larry
Bates, Economist/Author
“Owners of capital will stimulate the working
class to buy more and more of expensive goods, houses and technology,
pushing them to take more and more expensive credits, until their
debt becomes unbearable. The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy
of banks, which will have to be nationalized, and the State will
have to take the road which will eventually lead to communism.”

“The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition

“Two centuries ago, a somewhat obscure Scotsman
named Tytler made this profound observation: ‘A democracy cannot
exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until
the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public
treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate
promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses
because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed
by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.’” | Elmer T. Peterson,

“Paradoxically enough, the release of initiative
and enterprise made possible by popular self-government ultimately
generates disintegrating forces from within. Again and again after
freedom has brought opportunity and some degree of plenty, the competent
become selfish, luxury-loving and complacent, the incompetent and
the unfortunate grow envious and covetous, and all three groups
turn aside from the hard road of freedom to worship the Golden Calf
of economic security. The historical cycle seems to be: From bondage
to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to courage; from courage
to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness;
from selfishness to Selfishness to [complacency;
complacency to] apathy; from apathy to
[fear; from fear to] dependency; and
from dependency back to bondage once more.” | Henning Webb Prentis, Jr., In a speech entitled

“We are opposed around the world by a monolithic
and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covet means for
expanding its sphere of influence; on infiltration instead of invasion,
on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free
choice, on guerillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a
system which as conscripted vast human and material resources into
the building of a tightly-knit highly efficient machine that combines
military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political
operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes
are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised.
No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is

“The argument that the two parties should

can throw the rascals out at any election without leading to any

possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the
other party, which will be none of these things but will still
