Thoughts on this Lincoln quote about money and politics

[Type Username Here]

The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, and more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the Bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe.. corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money powers of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, and the Republic is destroyed.

I haven't heard it summed up that well before.

Honest Abe was on the right track fighting the influence of the European banking cartels and printing those interest debt free U.S. Treasury greenbacks!!!!!

His mentor

Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time, and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank.


You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin!


You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out.

Brehs, is it a surprise that Andrew Jackson, Lincoln, JFK all were assassinated or attempted to be assassinated? Bankers have been in on the U.S. since day one, only back in the day we had the balls to fight back, now they're running amuck

I hope this documentary isn't a conspiracy type documentary, I can't attest to the accuracy of it, it didn't seem like one of those conspiracy loose change type videos though. Maybe a more enlightened HL member will know more.
