How We Lost Control of the Federal Reserve
Instead of the Constitutional method of creating our money and putting it into
circulation, we now have and entirely unconstitutional system. This has brought our
country to the brink of disaster, as we shall see.
Since our money was handled both legally and illegally before 1913, we shall consider only
the years following 1913, since from that year on, all of our money had been created and
issued by an illegal method that will eventually destroy the United States if it is not
changed. 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, 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).
Omitting the burdensome details, it simply authorized the establishment of a Federal
Reserve Corporation, run by a Board of Directors (The Federal Reserve Board). The act
divided the United States into 12 Federal Reserve "Districts."
This simple, but terrible, law completely removed from Congress the right to
"create" money or to have any control over its "creation", and gave
that function to The Federal Reserve Corporation. It was accompanied by the appropriate
fanfare. The propaganda claimed that this would "remove money from politics"
(they did not say "and therefore from the people's control")and prevent
"boom and bust" economic activity from hurting our citizens.
The people were not told then, and most still do not know today, that the Federal Reserve
Corporation is a private corporation controlled by bankers and therefore is operated for
the financial gain of the bankers over the people rather than for the good of the people.
The word "Federal" was used only to deceive the people.
More Disastrous than Pearl Harbor
Since that "day of infamy", more disastrous to us than Pearl Harbor, the small group of "privileged" people who lend us "our" money have accrued to themselves all of the profits of printing our money -- and more! 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).
"The rich get richer and the poor get poorer" had become the secret policy of
the Federal government. An example of the process of "creation" and its
conversion to peoples "debt" will aid our understanding.
