"When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes... Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain." -Napoleon Bonaparte, 1815

same today The Fed has no decency !!

Napoleon created a state-controlled central bank, answerable to him alone.

"Ending the Fed" as a quasi-public entity would mean either direct control of central banking by politics or a return to a 19th century financial system, ie, government depending on private financiers like JP Morgan to supply liquidity--just the problem you're looking to avoid.

The Fed is an attempt to compromise between the problems inherent in both approaches. It's status as public or private is purposefully ambiguous.

the Fed is run by a group of Zionist Jewish bankers who need to be terminated end the story

You could eliminate every Zionist in the world and still not get rid of the basic problem: the dilemma of public or private control of central banking.

we don't need central banks. Look at the pigs breakfast the existing ones have made of the global financial system

aaaand now you're back to my original point.

Get rid of central banks and you're in the gilded age, when governments were dependent on bankers for money as per your Napoleon quote.

absolute crap ! If governments lived within their means they wouldn't need bankers. Its only nation such as USA who wants to invade so many others that need money for the war machine

Read a book of history. Every government needs bankers, even if only in time of war.

The bankers are there puppets, they work for the federal reserve who has successfully kept power for so long. So no, it's not crap. It's all factual read this article :www.masterjules.net/wisdomelders.htm Our elder statesmen predicted it perfectly!
