The
Real Story of Money
Americans, living in what is
called the richest nation on earth, seem always to be short of money. Wives
are working in unprecedented numbers, husbands hope for overtime hours to
earn more, or take part-time jobs evenings and weekends, children look for
odd jobs for spending money, the family debt climbs higher, and
psychologists say one of the biggest causes of family quarrels and breakups
is "arguments over money." Much of this trouble can be traced to our present
"debt-money" system.
Too few Americans realize
why the Founding Fathers wrote into Article I of the U.S. Constitution:
Congress shall have the Power
to Coin Money and Regulate the Value Thereof.
They
did this, as we will show, in the expectation that it would prevent "love of
money" from destroying the Republic they had founded. We shall see how
subversion of Article I has brought on us this perversion of the
Constitution.
Money is Man's Only "Creation"
Economists
use the term "create" when speaking of the process by which money comes into
existence. Creation means making something that did not exist before.
Lumbermen make boards from trees, workers build houses from lumber, and
factories manufacture automobiles from metal, glass and other materials. But
in all these they did not "create," they only changed existing materials
into a more usable and, therefore, more valuable form. This is not so with
money. Here, and here alone, man actually "creates" something out of
nothing. A piece of paper of little value is printed so that it is worth a
piece of lumber. With different figures it can buy the automobile or even
the house. Its value has been "created" in the true meaning of the word.
Money "Creating" Profitable
Clearly, money is very
cheap to make, and whoever does the "creating" of money in a nation can make
a tremendous profit! Builders work hard to make a profit of 5% above their
cost to build a house.
Auto makers sell their cars
for 1% to 2% above the cost of manufacture and it is considered good
business. But money "manufacturers" have no limit on their profits, since a
few cents will print a $1 bill or a $10,000 bill. That profit is part of our
story.
But
first let us consider another unique characteristic of money.
Adequate Money Supply Needed
An adequate
supply of money is indispensable to civilized society. We could forego many
other things, but without money industry would grind to a halt, farms would
become only self-sustaining units, surplus food would disappear, jobs
requiring the work of more than one man or one family would remain undone,
shipping and large movements of goods would cease, hungry people would
plunder and kill to remain alive, and all government except family or tribe
would cease to function.
An
overstatement, you say? Not at all! Money is the blood of civilized society,
the means of all commercial trade except simple barter. It is the measure
and the instrument by which one product is sold and another purchased.
Remove money or even reduce the supply below that which is necessary to
carry on current levels of trade, and the results are catastrophic. For an
example, we need only look at America's Depression of the early 1930's.
The Bankers Depression of the
1930's
In 1930
America did not lack industrial capacity, fertile farmland, skilled and
willing workers or industrious farm families. It had an extensive and highly
efficient transportation system in railroads, road networks, and inland and
ocean waterways. Communications between regions and localities were the best
in the world, utilizing telephone, teletype, radio, and a well-operated
government mail system. No war had ravaged the cities or the countryside, no
pestilence weakened the population, nor had famine stalked the land. The
United States of America in 1930 lacked only one thing: an adequate supply
of money to carry on trade and commerce.
In the
early 1930's, Bankers, the only source of new money and credit,
deliberately refused loans to industries, stores and farms. Payments on
existing loans were required however, and money rapidly disappeared from
circulation. Goods were available to be purchased, jobs waiting to be done,
but the lack of money brought the nation to a standstill. By this simple
ploy America was put in a "depression" and the greedy Bankers took
possession of hundreds of thousands of farms, homes, and business
properties. The people were told, "times are hard," and "money is short."
Not understanding the system, they were cruelly robbed of their earnings,
their savings, and their property.
Money for Peace? No! Money for
War? Yes!
World War II
ended the "depression." The same Bankers who in the early 30's had no loans
for peacetime houses, food and clothing, suddenly had unlimited billions to
lend for Army barracks, K-rations and uniforms! A nation that in 1934
couldn't produce food for sale suddenly could produce bombs to send free to Germany and Japan!
With
the sudden increase in money, people were hired, farms sold their produce,
factories went to two shifts, mines re-opened, and "The Great Depression"
was over! Some politicians were blamed for it and others took credit for
ending it. The truth is the lack of money, caused by the Bankers, brought on
the depression, and adequate money ended it. The people were never told that
simple truth and in this article we will endeavor to show how these same
Bankers who control our money and credit have used their control to plunder
America and place us in bondage.
Power to Coin and Regulate Money
When we can
see the disastrous' results of an artificially created shortage of money, we
can better understand why our Founding Fathers, who understood both money
and God's Laws, insisted on placing the power to "create" money and the
power to control it ONLY in the hands of the Federal Congress. They believed
that ALL citizens should share in the profits of its "creation" and
therefore the national government must be the ONLY creator of money. They
further believed that ALL citizens, of whatever State or Territory, or
station in life would benefit by an adequate and stable currency and
therefore, the national government must also be, by law, the ONLY controller
of the value of money.
Since
the Federal Congress was the only legislative body subject to all the
citizens at the ballot box, it was, to their minds, the only safe depository
of so much profit and so much power. They wrote it out in the simple, but
all-inclusive: "Congress shall have the Power to Coin Money and Regulate the
Value Thereof."

of our money and its supply, the intentional creation of recessions,
depressions and panics, manipulation of the stock markets, and the

Taking Back Your Power
by Allen Aslan Heart
WHAT CAN YOU DO? Stop playing THEIR game. Take back
your power. Stop paying taxes that are not legal or lawful. Stop paying
bills you don't really owe. Stop using THEIR money. There ARE ways if you
open your mind and look for the gaps in their fences that keep the sheeple
in their pasture. Are you chattel or a real person? You are the one who
makes that choice.
