“I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations 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 upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands 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. God grant that my suspicions may prove groundless.” ~U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864 (letter to Col. William F. Elkins)

    As if every President in the last five decades hasn’t been a puppet of the “Federal” banking system. It doesn’t matter what the presidential candidates say, because Lincoln’s fears have not only been realized, but they’ve been ingrained into the American way of life and there isn’t chance in hell that it’s going to change until this great country IS destroyed.

    Private banks print their own money and they lend it to you, me and the American government and charge interest on it. It’s a hole that there is no way out of unless you Liberals out there, and a lot of you Conservatives too, wake up and stop sucking on the government teat.
