I believe that banking instituions are more dangerous than standing armies. If the american people ever allow PRIVATE banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks will deprive The People of all their property UNTIL THEIR CHILDREN WAKE UP HOMELESS on the land their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the People, to whom it properly belongs -Thomas Jefferson

Know the system: You think you are here - FREEDOM when you really are here : APATHY you are headed here - ENSLAVEMENT you should be here - REVOLT!!!!!!!!

Remember we already had a lot of revolutions and now we are stuck again? So before you call for a new revolution, first learn how the system works against which you revolt or else you will install only the same system with just a different colour.

You're absolutely right, can't be a rebel with out a cause. History has only repeated itself ,I think it's time that the economy reform itself in ways that would nourish our communities. I feel that banking institutions are taking advantage of a lot of misinformed people, and that is putting our nation into mass debt. It's almost like social genocide.

Please could you follow the link and post your answer there?

I would like to keep the redundancy low because this would only lead to endless discussions without getting to the point. And hiding information between a lot of redundancy is the way the mainstram works.

Thank you.

msantos, a bank is not more dangerous than a standing army. Just ask the Russians and the Chinese, both whom had much more devestating civil wars in the 20th century than the American civil war.

Ok you've made your point...but I really like the connection the quote makes to the way banks today have deprived people from what is rightfully theirs. I mean if you think of what Thomas Jefferson was really saying it has a lot to do with foreclosures today and how aggressive banks are getting. It makes me wonder how genius these men were...but instead today we are a generation of iphone and twitter. I like reading quotes like these because they are informative and it demonstrates what our country was built upon . I work in a law firm that deals with a lot of foreclosure defense and I can definitley relate to that quote
