On November 21, 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt wrote a letter to Col. Edward Mandell House, President Woodrow Wilson's close advisor:

"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson... "

"The United States IS the United Nations: The Secretary of the U.S.
treasury is the U.S. governor of the International Monetary Fund and receives no compensation when serving in the capacity of govenor to the IMF, from the United States, which is a federal corporation."

Our Occupy the Fed effort is an Oath Keepers led

team of volunteers from other organizations, including:

Bryce Shonka, of the Tenth Amendment Center.

Gary Franchi, Founder of Restore the Republic.

Each of the above has been given posting powers over
at the Occupy the Fed website we have set up for that

And that does not mean we are now joined at the hip
with all those orgs either.  It just means we are working
together on this project to try to steer mass attention
toward protesting the damnable Federal Reserve.

“If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our
creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses, and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers.

“And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a second, that second for a third, and so on 'til the bulk of the society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering...

“And the forehorse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression.”

~Thomas Jefferson

"Criminals are a small minority in any age or community. And the harm they have done to mankind is infinitesimal when compared to the horrors – the bloodshed, the wars, the persecution, the famines, the enslavements, the wholesale destruction – perpetrated by mankind’s governments. Potentially, a government is the most dangerous threat to man’s rights - When unlimited and unrestricted by individual rights, a government is men’s deadliest enemy." Ayn Rand

Harvard Professor Ken Rogoff, former chief economist of the IMF, talked to the Prospect about the underlying issues dividing the leading economies of the world. An edited transcript follows. Economists and pundits alike seem very skeptical of the G-20 Summit. Will the world leaders be able to coordinate the international standards and regulations they aspire to? Ken Rogoff: The short answer is no. It is hopelessly complicated and difficult, but perhaps over five to 10 years they will be able to figure something out. The trouble is that U.S. and European banks live in totally different accounting and regulatory worlds where "capital" has a different meaning. The United States has a very expansive interpretation of what a bank's capital is, while in Europe, it's just much stricter. Also, the undercurrent is the United States makes a lot of money off of international finance. It's a big profit center -- we are the winners, and we want to keep the system. The rest of the world says, "But you're generating risk." We have a very different agenda from, say, Germany or France. They will have much less to lose by strengthening regulation because they have much stronger regulation to start with.

The Fed 'buys' interest-bearing US Treasury Bonds with Federal Reserve Notes that they simply print up. The US government gets the 'money' (Federal Reserve Notes) and the Fed gets to collect interest on the Treasury Bonds even though they have invested nothing -- those massive profits go to the private bankers that own the Fed. The interest
now due to the Fed each year is so huge that all of our income taxes are used to pay it.

This is a crime against the American people and must be stopped. Jefferson and Jackson both stopped the 'Fed' of their day -- Lincoln and Kennedy tried. America will one day have to do it again -- sooner or later. History tells us that the bankers will never stop trying to foist this unnecessary system of usury upon the People -- we must be ever
vigilant to prevent this from ever happening again.

"I may be in error, but I now suspect that the US Constitution was deliberately perverted by 3 major flaws:

1. Species money
2. Bankruptcy
3. Usurer protection

1. In 1789, the U.S.A. had no domestic bullion sources, and therefore had to borrow or buy from 'our friends' the European banks. All through our nation's history, when money issues came up, the government routinely sided with the European bankers, and not the people (ex: Coinage Act of 1873 - aka "Crime of 1873"). This generated more chaos, that culminated in the "elastic currency" of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. We all now know what THAT did to the nation.

2. Bankruptcy protection is an escape valve to protect usurers. Usury inevitably causes a proportion of debtors to fail. Without bankruptcy "protection", debtors might realize the common denominator was their contracts with usurers, not that they were bad people/businessmen. For government to have the power to impair contracts, is an immoral thing, too. Jesus didn't preach blessed art those who screw their creditors.

3. The government's assistance in enforcing contracts for usury (the abomination) has plagued Americans since 1789. Every debtor who has been dispossessed of his collateral can place part of the blame on the servant government, created to SECURE rights, not conspire to STEAL them."

1. From our beginnings, Americans had been left surpluses by each preceding generation of our forefathers all the way back to the first colonists, until sometime after the enactment of The Federal
   Reserve Act and the Income Tax Act.
   
   
2. Except at times of war or revolt, Americans had experienced no significant inflations nor deflations nor stagflations nor other"booms nor busts", such as we have all experienced until sometime after the enactment of The Federal Reserve Act and the Income Tax Act, except those caused by banks.
   
   
3. Americans had the highest personal savings in history, and, never had 'National' debts nor deficits, until sometime after the enactment of The Federal Reserve Act and the Income Tax Act.
   
   
4. America had full employment and no need of coercive labor, nor unemployment insurance, nor welfare, until sometime after the enactment of The Federal Reserve Act and the Income Tax Act.
   
   
5. America, from our beginnings, had a largely virtuous, and Godly population, until after the enactment of The Federal Reserve Act and the Income Tax Act, and, now we suffer gross taxes,
   litigiousness, crime, etc.
   
   
6. America had universities and institutes of higher learning which produced thinkers, scholars, scientists and creative genius of the highest order but, now, most of our colleges are utilitarian job
   training centers, due to the impoverishment created by the enactment of The Federal Reserve Act and the Income Tax Act.
   
   
7. A man and wife could own a home and many children even if modestly creative, he could feed them, clothe them, educate them and pay his way, until sometime after the enactment of The Federal Reserve Act and the Income Tax Act, such that now they must rent and have multiple incomes.
   
   
8. Citizens of The United States Of America owned and controlled the voting stock of our major corporations, corporations which were, once the greatest economic engine on Earth and which now
   are controlled by foreign bank nominees, agents and 'street' form voting stock, as a result of the enactment of The Federal Reserve Act and the Income Tax Act.

"Centuries ago, usury was defined as any interest charged for a loan. Modern usage has redefined it as excessive interest. Certainly, any amount of interest charged for a pretended loan is excessive. The
dictionary, therefore, needs a new definition. Usury: The charging of any interest on a loan of fiat money. "
