history and founding of America is almost a fairy tale of providence
and good fortune. As Senate Chaplain Dr. Peter Marshall has
recounted in his classic book, The Light and the Glory,
no other nation has been blessed with such an abundance of material
wealth and rich spiritual heritage as the United States of
America. In 1787, our Founding Fathers established a near-perfect
system of representative government and sound monetary policy as
outlined in the U.S. Constitution.
Yet,
as our nation enters the 21st Century there is a great foreboding that
our highly leveraged financial infrastructure is facing unprecedented
challenges in addition to serious geopolitical developments that could
threaten our very existence as an independent and sovereign
nation. How has this happened to the most powerful nation on
earth, and what will be the likely outcome of these events? To
answer these questions it is necessary to thoroughly examine the
monetary history of the U.S. up to the present hour and also give some
serious consideration to ancient prophecies that are contained in the
Holy Bible.
In 1913,
a small group of Wall Street bankers conspired to create the ultimate
money trust, or banking cartel, now known as the Federal Reserve System
. The creation of our nations central bank has been responsible
for boom and bust cycles which have wrongly been blamed on outside
forces, commerce, capital investments, the free market and even elected
officials. The creation, structure, and operation of the Fed is a
sad legacy of hidden taxation and market manipulation which needs to be
clearly understood.
This is a distinctly non-partisan issue. It is a topic of extreme importance since each and every
American is trusting in the value of their domestic currency and
working hard to invest and save for their financial futures. It
is why we get up and go to work every day. It is, as Austrian
economist and social philosopher Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) has
stated in his magnum opus Human Action, our individual responsibility to understand the basic teachings of economics:
Very
few men are capable of contributing any consequential idea to the body
of economic thought. But all reasonable men are called upon to
familiarize themselves with the teachings of economics. This is,
in our age, the primary civic duty. Whether we like it or not, it
is a fact that economics cannot remain an esoteric branch of knowledge
accessible only to small groups of scholars and specialists.
Economics deals with societys fundamental problems; it concerns
everyone and belongs to all. It is the main and proper study of
every citizen (www.mises.org ).
Indeed
it is. And I want to thank you for visiting my Web site to learn
