116 Fruit from a Poisonous Tree

U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson. History depicts Andrew Jackson as
the last truly honorable and incorruptible American Presidents.”
At least I must give FDR some credit in admitting that profound
statement. The shame of it is that it is still true.
If we don’t force Congress to rectify the matter soon, the whole house
of cards is going to fall down around our heads in a few short years. The
inevitable result is depression or hyperinflation, the worst possible economic
crisis. Those who refuse to learn the lessons of history are bound to repeat
the mistakes. History is replete with examples of nations whose governments
permitted private centralized banks to control and debauch their currency.
The ultimate mathematical equation is complete and total bankruptcy for all
but the elite few. Widespread poverty, lawlessness, anarchy – much the same
environment as paved the way for the second World War – is being visited
upon us again and by the same people. When, not if, our own economy
collapses, the people will accept anyone, even a despot like Hitler, who claims
he can save you from financial ruin.
The International Bankers have historically been responsible for crisis

“In the case of the federal government, we can print money to pay for
our folly for a time. But we will just continue to debase our currency, and
then we’ll have financial collapse. That is the road we are on today. That is

nothing ‘humanitarian’ about the dictatorship that must inevitably take over as
terrified people cry out for leadership. There is nothing ‘humanitarian’ about
the loss of freedom. That is why we must be concerned about the cancerous
growth of government and its steady devouring of our citizens’ productive
energies... I speak of this so insistently because I hear no one discussing this
danger. Congress does not discuss it. The press does not discuss it. Look
around us, the press isn’t even here! The people do not discuss it – they are
unaware of it. No counter-force in America is being mobilized to fight this
danger. The battle is being lost, and not a shot is being fired.” – Congressman
William E. Simon, in a speech to the House of Representatives (April 10,
1976)
“I believe that if the people of his nation fully understood what
Congress has done to them over the past 49 years, they would move
on Washington, they would not wait for an election... It adds up to a
preconceived plan to destroy the economic and social independence
