"We have in this country, one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known.

Montagu Norman, Governor of The Bank Of England, addressing the United States Bankers' Association, NYC 1924 "The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented ... Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with a flick of the pen they will create enough money to buy it back again ... if you want to continue to be slaves of the bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let bankers continue to create money and control credit." - Sir Josiah Stamp, Head Of The Bank of England, 1781

Woodrow Wilson

"The one aim of these financiers is world control by the creation of inextinguishable debts."

"The financial system... has been turned over to the Federal Reserve Board. That board administers the finance system by authority of... a purely profiteering group. The system is private, conducted for the sole purpose of obtaining the greatest possible profits from the use of the other people's money." - Rep. Charles A. Lindberg (R-MN "With the creation of the new global economy comes the demand for a fundamental re-alignment of policy-making power, away from national governments to some as yet undefined institutional order where the traditional nation-state plays a subordinate role." - "The World Economy: The search for mechanism of transition", National Australia Bank Share-holder's Review, October 1986
