The Money / Financialization Matrix
“Allow me to issue and control a nation's currency, and I care not who makes the laws.” ~Mayer Amschel Rothschild, circa 1791
“Private fortunes, in the present state of our circulation, are at the mercy of those self-created money lenders, and are prostrated by the floods of nominal money with which their avarice deluges us.” ~Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813
“I sincerely believe … that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity on a large scale.” ~Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1816
“I, too, have been a close observer of the Bank of the United States. I have had men watching you for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of this country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifth thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out, and by the Eternal I will rout you out!” ~Andrew Jackson to assembled Second Bank of the United States bankers, 1834
“The few who understand the system (interest-bearing money) will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantages that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting the system is inimical to their interests.” ~Lord Nathaniel Rothschild to New York City associates, 1862
“[The Federal Reserve Act] establishes the most gigantic trust on earth.... When the President signs this bill the invisible government by the money power, proven to exist by the Money Trust investigation, will be legalized … “ ~Charles August Lindbergh Sr. before Congress, 1913
“Mr. Chairman, we have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks.... This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of the United States, has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. Some people think the Federal Reserve banks are United States Government institutions. They are not Government institutions. They are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; and rich and predatory money lenders.” ~Louis T. McFadden before Congress, 1932.
“The U.S. government has a technology, called a printing press (or its electronic equivalent), that allows it to produce as many dollars as it wishes at no cost.” ~Ben Bernanke, Nov. 21, 2002
“One myth that's out there is that what we're doing is printing money. We're not printing money.” ~Ben Bernanke, Dec. 5, 2010
“As long as the Matrix exists, the human race will never be free.” ~Morpheus, The Matrix
For well over a hundred years, the combination of Constitutional republican democracy and market capitalism seemed to be a rising tide lifting all boats, including those of the poor. But during the second hundred years—despite advances in technology that would have made the Founding Fathers gasp—something went badly wrong.
Today, of course, the gulf between rich and poor is widening everywhere. This has already triggered unrest in the developing world.
