What is the central bank? Do you think the Federal Reserve System is a private corporation with stockholders that have never been made public? It is. Do you think the elected officials of America planned the Federal Reserve System or did private bankers design it to keep control over the money that was spreading west and get the government to help them control that money? Read the book, Creature from Jekyll Island, recommended reading by Ron Paul, member of Congress House Banking Committee. You'll have to hear a little history than you learned in school to understand the system, but it is as old as the camel caravan traders who stored their gold with trusted merchants while they traveled the deserts to trade from city to city. It works like this: Joe Trader wants to go from Rome to Egypt to buy stuff and bring it back to Rome for sale. He doesn't want to carry the gold through the desert, so he asks trusted merchant Sam to keep his gold and give him a receipt for it that he can use in Egypt to buy what he wants. Big dealers in Egypt know Sam, so they are willing to take his script as good as gold. That way, Joe Trader gets to buy what he likes but without having to risk carrying the gold, without risking being robbed. After a few years of this, other traders catch on that it is safer to cross the desert without carrying the gold. So more people take advantage of the arrangments between the big merchants in Rome and Egypt to use script instead of gold. A generation or two later, the merchant's children figure out that those dozen traders hardly ever ask for their gold. The script is being traded around both cities in exchange for goods and services by many people.
One day, a trader comes in to visit with the trusted merchant in Rome. The trader says, There sure are some good spices and fine things to be had for a very low price right now in Egypt. I'm preparing to go there now, and bring back all I can. I have ten camels, but only enough profit from my last journey to buy seven camels load of spices. Mr. Trusted Store Owner says, maybe there's a way you can bring back ten camels worth of goods. If you cut me in for a portion of what you bring back on those three camels, I'll loan you the gold to buy enough more to load them up when you get to Egypt. Joe Trader thinks to himself, well, let's see here, if I accept his offer, I'll make more than I would without taking his offer, so I guess that's a good deal for me. Then Joe says to the Trusted Store Front Owner, Yes, that's fine. You loan me enough to buy three more camels worth of spices, and I'll pay you back the loan plus a profit share from the three camel loads worth of spices. So they strike a deal. The Trusted Store Owner writes the trader a script to be exchanged in Egypt for the spices. They both gain from it. The Trusted Store Owner with the big impressive building in Rome has a brother who has taken up residence in Egypt with another big impressive building where people always know they can go and buy what they want. They trade script between each other with certain traders who trust them to keep their gold. Many of their riches customers who come to the store regularly, also accept the script in change when they give gold for a purchase. So the script begins circulating around the city among those people who redeem it at the stores for merchandise.
After a few more years of this, word gets around to other traders, that if you buy and sell through those two brothers, you have several advantages. You don't have to carry your gold across the desert and risk being robbed, and if you ever need to borrow a little extra for your trip's planned purchases, the brothers are happy to lend it to you for just a small percentage.
Finally the number of people asking for those loans exceeds the amount of gold personally owned by Mr. Trusted Merchant with the well known impressive stable big business building. He bemoans the idea that he's losing extra income by not making those loans that so many traders now want from him. It comes to his attention, that the traders who store their own gold with him hardly ever ask for it since they're so accustomed to using the script. So he figgures, I have gold in safe-keeping (for only a small storage fee) from twenty different Camel Caravan Traders, in addition to my own personal gold.
For years, I've been writing script on their gold, and making loans from my personal gold. Since only ten percent of them ask for their gold at the same time, I could loan out part of that, even write script on it, and that way, I could make interest by loaning money that I don't even own.
A gleam comes in his eye as he calculates all the interest he could charge on gold that isn't his, because people in the city trust him to back up his script in fair trade for anything in his Big Impressive Building. After all, people think, anybody with a Big Impressive Store Front Building, has got to be good, else everybody wouldn't be trusting them to do so much business with them.

So the banker begins writing script for gold he doesn't personally own, hoping that people don't all come back at once and ask for all their gold all at the same time. After all, he reasons, they store so much gold with me, they don't want to take it all out at one time. They don't want to run the risk of being robbed. That's why they pay me to store it for them in my Big Impressive Building with my armed guards, and that's why they pay me a small fee to protect their large assets.

So while they're using my paper script and passing that off for goods and services, I can write a lot more script than just on my own gold, I can write script, based on all the gold of all the traders who trust me and use my script. That way, I can lend money to more traders, charge them interest for the loan, and no one will know that I'm loaning money I don't have; no one will care so long as I keep honoring my script. So let's see, I have twenty traders now storing a total of a hundred shekles of gold with me. If I loan out ten percent of that to a new trader, and he puts it back into my bank, for safe keeping and I charge him 10% interest (usury), and give him the paper script, then I can do that over and over again.

Let's see, the Banker with the big impressive building says to himself, 100 pounds of gold, loaned out in paper money, 10 pounds at a time, written on paper of course, that my brother in the other city will be happy to redeem in merchandise for the trader, and each trader never even takes any gold out of my bank, being happy to just carry the script accross the desert. And I get to do that over and over again. Why, I'll make a fortune, charging each of them interest for the money I lend them, after all, people have agreed in both cities that my script is as good as gold. They take it gladly and trade goods and services for it. And I redeem it at any time in my Store Bank Big Impressive Building whenever they want to come here. So they're happy to continue on using my papyrus script instead of carrying the true gold. So that allows me to continue to write papyrus script for more gold than I have and charge interest on it.

Two generations later, the trusted store front banking family has over a hundred traders working with them as valued clients who whenever they want to increase their purchases and thus their ability to sell more goods and of course gain more profits, they know they can borrow from the banker.
With a hundred traders storing their gold at the bankers vault for safe-keeping, and using only the papyrus script, which has by now become very formal for the sake of others who trade it, to keep up with the image of the Trusted Merchant Gold-Keeper with the Big Impressive Building whom everybody knows you can trust with your gold. The Banker now has an income of fees he has charged for loans he makes to the traders, that is far bigger than income made on his own money. John Trader brings 10 pounds of gold to the bank for sake-keeping, says he needs 2 pounds more for all he wants to buy in Egypt, signs a note for 2 pounds plus 1/4 pound as a fee for the loan, and then accepts a papyrus script to carry on his camel carravan journey across the desert to Egypt.

Mr. Banker repeats this process of a hundred times and has gained 25 pounds of gold for himself on nothing of his own at risk. One hundred times one-quarter is twenty-five. Simple. Why didn't he think of this before? Now he's getting richer and richer, and the traders are paying for all his gain. The traders are doing all the work. He's just writing script and charging interest on money he doesn't have.

How do you calculate an interest rate? The amount of interest charged by the amount of money you own and loan to the person who is borrowing. In this case, the rich banker doesn't own the money, so the denominator is zero. Any interest charged is divided by zero, which gives an answer of infinity. Now if you have ever wondered or heard the question asked, How much interest do you have to charge for it to be usury, then you have probably heard people say, well, is it 2%, 5%, or 20%, or 100% or 5000%?????? How much interest rate is usury? Where do you draw the line????? My friend, what is any rate of interest from 1 to 1000 divided by zero? The answer is infinite. Charging interest on money you don't own is usury. That is the system spoken of in scripture, warned against, and clearly stated not to do. It was common then, it is increased in practice now. It is a clear unbalance of power to gain wealth.
It allows a central banking system distributed between Rome and Egypt to gain a percentage of the profit from every trade made by those who utilize the system. The central banking system is taking a profit from the trade made with money they didn't own.

Talk about a Ponzi scheme. This is the biggest one ever invented, and it was warned against in the Holy Scripture. It is being used today to help set up the world government by those who control the money.

Why did Senator Louis McSpadden die? He and ten other Senators were pushing for a Congressional Investigation of the Federal Reserve System. He wanted a complete investigation of the behind the scenes operations, and an external audit of the system. Those Senators did not succeed. Some died. This is all referenced in the New York Times, 1930-1934, mostly 1933 as I remember. I looked it up in the index of the New York Times at the Texas A & M library in College Station, Texas, in 1968. I There are things you don't know about money. And it is hurting America. Ignorance sets a people up to be destroyed. Slavery does not have to be with chains. It can be economic.

Remember, and don't ignore, what the Bible has to say about the last days. How well does the world banking system centralizing computers fit into that senario.

Mr. Greenspan today, publicly, used the words, "...central bank of America..." That's exactly what our Founding Fathers didn't want. They knew what England had, and they knew they didn't want it. But you have to read more history to know what I'm talking about. So read on, dear reader, and learn the truth that has been kept out of the public school books and out of the universities. Teachers are even afraid to teach it when given the documentation from the New York Times, and from Senators. It is too uncomfortable to tell children, they might ask their parents about it. It is too dangerous to tell college students, they might try to do something about it.

If the mass information sources hadn't deceived the American people about money then we'd learn these things in school. Instead, these things are still kept from public knowledge. Senator Louis McFadden died trying to bring out the truth. So did a few others. The truth can still help you and your children and your grandchildren. The old speeches from early leaders in America plainly stated they did not want anything like the central banking system England had. From the earliest days to as late as 1913 such speeches cames from leaders of America. But the power of money bought too much deceiving press and the voice of wisdom was silenced. The ties between money and what gets published and what gets taught and what gets voted in government is as old as Rome. Please remember your old history books about Rome and its fall. Not that its taught the same way anymore, wouldn't want the children to make any comparisons. For a fast introduction to the true but untaught history of money, please take time to read these quotes from famous and important men. And of course a few verses from scripture to give an absolute standard by which to judge. There are quotes from Presidents and others on this subject in the next page. I give you just a few of them here.
Quotes from important men on money Try to find any of these quotations in your public text book. Thomas Jefferson: If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks], will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

The system of banking [is] a blot left in all our Constitutions, which, if not covered, will end in their destruction... I sincerely believe that banking institutions are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity... is but swindling futurity on a large scale. Thomas Jefferson

A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit.
Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the Nation 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 world - no longer a Government of free opinion no longer a Government by conviction and vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men. Woodrow Wilson

Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the U.S., in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. 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 - In The New Freedom (1913)

The fact is that there is a serious danger of this country becoming a pluto-democracy; that is, a sham republic with the real government in the hands of a small clique of enormously wealth men, who speak through their money, and whose influence, even today, radiates to every corner of the United States." William McAdoo - President Wilson's national campaign vice-chairman, wrote in Crowded Years (1974)

This is a government of the people, by the people and for the people no longer. It is a government of corporations, by corporations, and for corporations.U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes
