Federal Reserve Famous Quotes

'As an ex-banker and one who has scuttled quite largely about this country of ours, I give you my solemn word of honor that I have never seen any other class more corrupt, conscienceless, and thieving than bankers.'
- Jack Woodford

Federal Reserve Famous Quotes

'As a result of the Civil War, corporations (banking) have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working on the prejudices of the people until wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my
country than ever before, even in the midst of war.'
- President Abraham Lincoln

Federal Reserve Famous Quotes

'The death of Lincoln is a disaster for Christendom. I fear that foreign bankers with their craftiness and tortuous tricks will entirely control the exuberant riches of America and use it to corrupt modern civilization. They will not hesitate to plunge the whole world into wars and chaos, in order that they may inherit the Earth.'
- Bismarck

Federal Reserve Famous Quotes

'We the men in this hall, who control the economic destiny of the Nation, knew in 1927 that this terrible depression was coming, and we did nothing about it.'
- President of the American Bankers Association, speaking at their convention, in 1931

Federal Reserve Famous Quotes

'The Government, under the Constitution, has the power to create all the money. It issues both money and bonds, and sells the bonds to the bankers that create deposit money. If banks need the cash to pay the depositors, the Treasury supplies it free. In that way, Congress has farmed out to private bankers the nation's credit free, and Congress' power to create money, the greatest and most profitable privilege our Nation had, absolutely free; and of course, unconstitutionally.'
- Congressman Wright Patman

Federal Reserve Famous Quotes

'It would appear that there could be no subject of more supreme importance to the people of the United States than an understanding of money and its powers. It is remarkable, and a fact of surpassing importance, that the provision of the Constitution of the United States authorizing Congress exclusively to coin money and regulate the value thereof has been overlooked by American statesmen. Their failure to perceive the deep significance of this language of the Constitution has resulted in the indefensible expansion and contraction of money by private persons, bringing on monetary depressions periodically.'
- Senator Robert L. Owen
Mr. Owen was chairman of the Senate Banking Committee in 1913, and managed the Federal Reserve Act legislation. It is strange that he, a then 'statesman,' overlooked the Constitutional provision that said definitely that Congress could not surrender its powers to a private corporation.

Federal Reserve Famous Quotes

'We authorize you (our loan agents in the western states) to loan funds on good real estate to fall due not later than September 1, 1894, and at no time thereafter. And on and after that date we will not renew our loans under any consideration. But on September 1, 1894, we will demand our money. We will foreclose and become Mortgagees in possession. We can in this way take two-thirds of the farms west of the Mississippi and thousands of them east of the Mississippi as well, at our own price. We will own three-fourths of the farms of the West and the money of the nation. Then farmers will become tenants as in England.'
- American Bankers Association, 1891

Federal Reserve Famous Quotes

'One of these days the people of this country are going to rise up in their wrath and compel the change of such an idiotic system that compels our own people to pay tribute to a few who have nothing invested and run no risk, in order to conduct the affairs of our Government, and especially our national defense program. If some person attempts to show how the credit of the Nation is being farmed out free to '14,567' privately owned commercial banks he could be (is) quickly silenced by a whispering campaign that he is a monetary nut, a crackpot, or a greenbacker who wants to flood the country with printing-press money. Then a few references to continental currency, fiat money, and German inflation, and the opposition is dead.'
- Congressman Wright Patman, December 1 , 1943

Federal Reserve Famous Quotes

'All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise not from defects in our Constitution; not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from down right ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation.'
- Ex-President John Adams, in a letter to his friend, Ex-President Thomas Jefferson

Federal Reserve Famous Quotes

'Finance, money, credit, International Banking knows no boundaries of nations, no tongue, no color, no creed. It is the universal language of exploitation and tyranny. It robs the American farmer, the Welsh miner, the Czech glass workers, the toiling, serving and producing men, women and children, with equal complacency. It knows no mastery but its own, no service but to itself, no means but money: it will brook no opposition.'
- Siegfried

Federal Reserve Famous Quotes

'Here is a nation that might be the richest nation on earth, when actually we haven't enough of anything, because there is not enough production. The need is here. The ability to produce is here. The people are eager to produce - willing to work. The stoppage is the system that puts profits before production - and that is the money system.'
- Henry Ford
