Man behind the Curtain

“The central bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the Principles and form of our Constitution. I am an Enemy to all banks discounting bills or notes for anything but Coin. If the American People allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the People of all their Property until their Children will wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.”
-- Thomas Jefferson

Today, America has its own “Wizard of Oz” who resides behind a curtain, out of sight, pulling levers and operating switches. He is Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke, and his predecessor was Alan Greenspan. Bernanke is the mover and the shaker. He controls the money supply, or issuance of fiat currency (currency not backed by hard assets such as gold or silver) in the United States. Of course, the Fed Chairman is simply a puppet. He is a powerful and influential puppet, but a puppet never the less. Bernanke’s handlers are a secretive cabal of International Bankers. They are the owners of a central, private bank called the Federal Reserve. That’s right. Our currency is issued by a private bank! This is exactly what Thomas Jefferson had warned of so long ago. In 1967, Alan Greenspan wrote an essay entitled, “Gold and Economic Freedom,” in which he detailed the illegality of the Federal Reserve and its true agenda of “confiscation through inflation.”

"And so the Federal Reserve System was organized in 1913. It consisted of twelve regional Federal Reserve banks nominally owned by private bankers, but in fact government sponsored, controlled, and supported. Credit extended by these banks is in practice (though not legally) backed by the taxing power of the federal government.”

He goes on to state…

“In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation...Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights.”

Alan Greenspan was a chief opponent of the Federal Reserve before he was appointed the Federal Reserve Chairman. His view of central banking and the threat it posed to American Citizens was virtually identical to that of Thomas Jefferson. Did Alan Greenspan become part of the very thing he tried to expose years earlier?

And the Federal Reserve is not without its muscle, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Through intimidation and force, the IRS imposes an illegal form of taxation, intimately known to us all as the Federal Income Tax. Even if this tax were legally enforced, the Federal Income Tax revenue does not go toward government services people might expect. According to the Grace Commission, a panel appointed by Ronald Regan, all monies collected went toward the Federal Debt; and, that all Income Tax revenues were gone before any was spent on government services for the people. Author, G. Edward Griffin put it well when he stated, “The main purpose of the income tax is not to raise revenue, but to redistribute wealth and control society.”

So why is the Federal Income Tax illegal? Very simply stated, there is no law. The Constitution allows two forms of taxes: direct and indirect. A direct tax must be apportioned, or divided equally amongst the people. An indirect tax would be, for example, excise tax or tax on tobacco. The Federal Income Tax does not apply to either form of taxation. With the illegal passing of the 16th amendment in 1913, Congress created a third form of taxation which it was not authorized to do. In 1894, Congress previously tried to create an income tax which the Supreme Court ruled as unconstitutional. And when Congress tried again in 1913, the Supreme Court again ruled that the 16th amendment gave no new powers of taxation. So, suffice it to say, the 16th amendment is a fraud! The New York Times better stated the matter on January 25th 1916 when it reported, “In substance, the court holds that the Sixteenth Amendment did not empower the Federal Government to levy a new tax.”

And yet, here we are today. We are overtaxed and overregulated by secretly ruling, international, banking elites. Our puppet government surrendered its power to issue “hard” money backed by gold and silver, and empowered the Federal Reserve. Through a form of Fabian Socialist incrementalism, these Banking Elites have convinced an entire nation that “paper” is more valuable than gold or silver. Through gradually increasing the money supply in this country, they’ve driven down the value of the dollar, while orchestrating a controlled crash in the U.S. economy. Enticed by cheap credit, American citizens have been fooled, falling deeply in debt and becoming overextended. And like the orchestrated crash of 1929, now comes yet another period of consolidation, or “confiscation through inflation.” This, as Alan Greenspan had written about, is the true agenda of the Federal Reserve and the banking families of the world.

"Give me control of a nation's money, and I care not who makes her laws"--Mayer Rothschild

Americans, who have been systematically dumb down through a “Prussian model” educational system, have not the critical thinking skills, nor imagination enough to comprehend this Matrix of control…until now. It is time to expose the true nature of America’s “Wizard of Oz” and to recognize that the only power he possesses is that which we ourselves surrender to him. And, with a little courage, and brains, and heart, we can liberate ourselves from his control.

OK, I can guess one reason: death. As for the other, I'm stumped.

I totally agree! I have a beef with one particular one. I won't mention it but here's the thing. Because I was inactive for a year, they took all that I had in the account. $20.00 a month and plus. I nearly had heart failer. In my upset state, I informed the nice lady, take what I had in that account and I am not paying you anything else! I am not the only one with this kind of problem, there are more folks out there who had this kind of thing happen to them. SO, TO THE BANKS OF AMERICA...there are reasons why folks have inactive accounts and I am giving you just 2 guesses...

This was a great article with a lot of thought behind it and explained very well. Good job!

This article scares me almost as much as Democrats!
