The Federal Reserve Fraud

THE FEDERAL RESERVE FRAUD


The first misconception that most people have is that the Federal Reserve Bank is a branch of the US government. IT IS NOT. THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK IS A PRIVATE COMPANY. Most people believe it is as American as the Constitution. THE FACT IS THE CONSTITUTION FORBIDS IT'S EXISTENCE. Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution states that Congress shall have the power to create money and regulate the value thereof, NOT A BUNCH OF INTERNATIONAL BANKERS! Today the FED controls and profits by printing WORTHLESS PAPER, called money, through the Treasury, regulating its value, AND THE BIGGEST OUTRAGE OF ALL, COLLECTING INTEREST ON IT! (THE SO-CALLED NATIONAL DEBT). The FED began with approximately 300 people or banks that became owners, stockholders purchasing stock at $100 per share - the stock is not publicly traded) in the Federal Reserve Banking System. They make up an international banking cartel of wealth beyond comparison. The FED banking system collects billions of dollars in interest annually and distributes the profits to its shareholders. The Congress illegally gave the FED the right to print money through the Treasury at no interest to the FED.

The FED creates money from nothing, and loans it back to us through banks, and charges interest on our currency. The FED also buys Government debt with money printed on a printing press and charges U.S. taxpayers interest. Many Congressmen and Presidents say this is fraud. Who actually owns the Federal Reserve Central Banks? The ownership of the 12 Central banks, a very well kept secret, has been revealed: 1. Rothschild Bank of London 2. Warburg Bank of Hamburg 3. Rothschild Bank of Berlin 4. Lehman Brothers of New York 5. Lazard Brothers of Paris 6. Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York 7. Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy 8. Goldman, Sachs of New York 9. Warburg Bank of Amsterdam 10. Chase Manhattan Bank of New York.

These bankers are connected to London Banking Houses which ultimately control the FED. When England lost the Revolutionary War with America where our forefathers were fighting their own government, they planned to control us by controlling our banking system, the printing of our money, and our debt. The individuals listed below owned banks which in turn owned shares in the FED. The banks listed below have significant control over the New York FED District, which controls the other 11 FED Districts. These banks also are partly foreign owned and control the New York FED District Bank: First National Bank of New York, James Stillman National City Bank, New York, Mary W. Harnman, National Bank of Commerce, New York, A.D. Jiullard Hanover, National Bank, New York, Jacob Schiff, Chase National Bank, New York, Thomas F. Ryan, Paul Warburg, William Rockefeller, Levi P. Morton, M.T. Pyne, George F. Baker, Percy Pyne, Mrs. G.F. St. George, J.W. Sterling, Katherine St. George, H.P. Davidson, J.P. Morgan (Equitable Life/Mutual Life), Edith Brevour, T. Baker.

How did it happen? After previous attempts to push the Federal Reserve Act through Congress, a group of bankers funded and staffed Woodrow Wilson's campaign for President. He had committed to sign this act. In 1913, a Senator, Nelson Aldrich, maternal grandfather to the Rockefellers, pushed the Federal Reserve Act through Congress just before Christmas when much of Congress was on vacation. When elected, Wilson passed the FED. Later, Wilson remorsefully replied, referring to the FED, "I have unwittingly ruined my country". Now the banks financially back sympathetic candidates. Not surprisingly, most of these candidates are elected.


The bankers employ members of the Congress on weekends (nickname T&T club -out Thursday...in Tuesday with lucrative salaries. Additionally, the FED started buying up the media in the 1930's and now owns or significantly influences most of it. Presidents Lincoln, Jackson, and Kennedy tried to stop this family of bankers by printing U.S. dollars without charging the taxpayers interest. Today, if the government runs a deficit, the FED prints dollars through the U.S. Treasury, buys the debt, and the dollars are circulated into the economy. In 1992, taxpayers paid the FED banking system $286 billion in interest on debt the FED purchased by printing money virtually cost free. Forty percent of our personal federal income taxes goes to pay this interest. The FED's books are not open to the public. Congress has yet to audit it. Congressman Wright Patman was Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Banking and Currency for 40 years. For 20 of those years, he introduced legislation to repeal the Federal Reserve Banking Act of 1913. Congressman Henry Gonzales, Chairman of a banking committee, introduced legislation to repeal the Federal Reserve Banking Act of 1913 almost every year. It's always defeated, the media remains silent, and the public never learns the truth. The same bankers who own the FED control the media and give huge political contributions to sympathetic members of Congress.

THE FED FEARS THE POPULATION WILL BECOME AWARE OF THIS FRAUD AND DEMAND CHANGE. We, the People, are at fault for being passive and allowing this to continue. THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD, A GOVERNMENT BOARD, HAS CHEATED THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OUT OF ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY THE NATIONAL DEBT SEVERAL TIMES OVER. The depredations and the iniquities of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks acting together have cost this country dearly.

They are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; the rich and predatory money lenders. This is an era of economic misery and for the reasons that caused that misery, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks are fully liable. Half a million dollars was spent on one part of propaganda organized by those same European bankers for the purpose of misleading public opinion in regard to the Federal Reserve Bank.



WHAT MONEY LOOKED LIKE WHEN IT WAS STILL BACKED BY SOMETHING

Every effort has been made by the Federal Reserve Board to conceal its power but the truth is the Federal Reserve Board has USURPED THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES. IT CONTROLS EVERYTHING HERE AND IT CONTROLS ALL OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS. IT MAKES AND BREAKS GOVERNMENTS AT WILL. No man and no body of men is more entrenched in power than the arrogant credit monopoly which operates the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks. These evil-doers have robbed this country. What the Government has permitted the Federal Reserve Board to steal from the people should now be restored to the people.
Our people's money to the extent of $1,200,000,000 has within the last few months been shipped abroad to redeem Federal Reserve Notes and to pay other gambling debts of the traitorous Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks. The greater part of our monetary stock has been shipped to foreigners. Why should we promise to pay the debts of foreigners to foreigners? Why should American Farmers and wage earners add millions of foreigners to the number of their dependents? Why should the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks be permitted to finance our competitors in all parts of the world? The Federal Reserve Act should be repealed and the Federal Reserve banks, having violated their charters, should be liquidated immediately. FAITHLESS GOVERNMENT OFFICERS WHO HAVE VIOLATED THEIR OATHS SHOULD BE IMPEACHED AND BROUGHT TO TRIAL.

If the media is unbiased, independent and completely thorough, why haven't they discussed the FED? Currently, half the states have at least a grass roots movement in action to abolish the FED, but there's no press coverage. In July, 1968, the House Banking Subcommittee reported that Rockefeller, through Chase Manhattan Bank, controlled 5.9% of the stock in CBS. Furthermore, the bank had gained interlocking directorates with ABC.


In 1974, Congress issued a report stating that the Chase Manhattan Bank's stake in CBS rose to 14.1% and NBC to 4.5%. The same report said that the Chase Manhattan Bank held stock in 28 broadcasting firms. After this report, the Chase Manhattan Bank obtained 6.7% of ABC, and today the percentage is most likely much greater. It only requires 5% ownership to significantly influence the media . This is only one of 300 wealthy shareholders of the FED. It is believed other FED owners have similar holdings in the media. To control the media, FED bankers call in their loans if the media disagrees with them.

Rockefeller also controls the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the sole purpose of which is to aid in stimulating greater interest in foreign affairs and a one world government. Nearly every major newscaster belongs to the Council on Foreign Relations. The Council on Foreign Relations controls many major newspapers and magazines. Additionally, major corporations owned by FED shareholders are the source of huge advertising revenues which surely would influence the media. 

Every day I hear people complaining about what they don't like about our government and media, but not one of them are willing to put forth an effort to try and change it, especially when it comes to their personal lives. We are as much a slave on a personal level, as our government is to the international bankers. We keep right on using the tool they put out here to control us, credit cards, and we are imprisoned by it. We are no longer willing to save up to buy something, we have to have it right now, so the Government has made it easy to have what you want without the having to save for it, (CREDIT). Don't you think it funny that in a land with so much wealth, only 2 PERCENT of the people own their homes? (CREDIT). Do you know 60 PERCENT of Americans have at least 3 Credit cards used to it's maximum? (CREDIT). Do you know that only 1 PERCENT of the people have their car paid for? (CREDIT). To be free, you must throw away your credit cards, and NEVER buy anything that you cannot afford at the moment of purchase. We will never be a free people until we rid ourselves of the burden placed here to control us, and when we stop renting from the powers, the power will cease to exist.

a big girl bed...

well, halloween has come and gone and it is almost thanksgiving!  i can't believe how fast fall has gone...i hope winter goes just as fast, maybe faster.  i had the day off from school today so jason and i went to ikea and bought josie a "big girl bed".  its the cutest little bed and starts as a toddler bed and can expand to e regular twin size.  so currently we are playing the waiting game.  waiting for her to STAY in the BED!  i think this is the first time in nine years that we haven't had a baby in our room!
it was such a beautiful halloween.  i don't think we've ever had one this warm.  usually the kids are so bundled up, you can't even tell what they are supposed to be.  this year it was almost 50 degrees when we went out!  that was a real treat for us minnesotans.

really lame, i know...

i have officially come to grips with the fact that i am a lame blogger.  time just seems to somehow escape me and there's always something else i should be doing.  but people are starting to get pissed.  it has been an extremely busy summer (which i can't believe is over) and so i will try some feeble attempt to summarize it here in pictures.  and for whatever reason...blogspot mixes all my pictures up and gets them out of order.  and when i try to move them around, my computer has a meltdown and shuts down.  so you'll just have to bear with me here...





josie has really come out of her shell this summer.  her personality is very sweet, but also mischievous.

over labor day weekend we went to visit my sister who lives near madison, wi.  here are all the cousins at blue mounds state park.  it was a beautiful day.

our subsequent hike (death march).  it got a little longer than we all expected, especially with five children.  ahh, nature!

mattie mae. becoming her own.


the boys spent a lot of time playing with their tractors in the sandpile.


slip slidin' away.

my sister and i went to algoma, wi to do some family history.  we spent a lot of time here...



an algoma sunset.  notice the wind turbines on the left, there were a ton of them up there.


lots of marshmallows and dutch oven dinners around the fire.


well that's all i can muster for tonight.

yes, i'm here...

have you been wondering where i've been?  or am i just flattering myself?  i'm still alive and kicking.  so busy with school, i can hardly breathe.  i started my second summer session last week and am taking "principles of financial accounting".  excuse me while i vomit.  today during class, i found myself thinking..."who thinks up this crap?"  and then my professor tells us that some french monk back in the 1600's came up with it.  seriously?  didn't he have anything better to do?

we put up one of those big trampolines yesterday.  the kids are loving it.  when i came out of my shower this morning at 6:45, they were already dressed and outside jumping!  i wish i felt like jumping on a trampoline at 6:45 am.  imagine what i could accomplish if that were the case.

we've spent time with my grandparents over memorial day weekend.  it's a tradition to go to the cemetery every year.  mattie had her spring concert and wrapped up school last week.  can't believe she'll be in 2nd grade next year!



yes.  this is my hubby and my grandma attempting to roast hotdogs in the rain!  now that's dedication!


the rain stopped and we were able to roast some marshmallows.  or washmallows as elijah calls them.


mattie's outdoor spring concert.  more to come on that...

what we've been up to...

fieldwork is in full swing.  jason has been working long hours and spending alot of time in the tractor.  which is nice, because he can usually take a kid or two along for a ride.  josie loves being in the tractor!  especially with her daddy.  i even ran the soil finisher!  so fun.  i love driving tractor, hee hee!  in this picture jason is plowing up the field which he later planted with barley and alfalfa.  this will make great hay for the cows!



i like cows.  i can relate to them.  i feel some sort of bonding thing happening, especially when i'm nursing.  i sometimes felt like a cow and all i was good for was milk.  and oh how i would have loved to have some huge super-power milking "parlor" where i could go and get some relief.  like i said...i can relate to my bovine sisters.  don't laugh...your day's coming sister!  this particular jersey took a liking to me and my camera and was posing.  isn't she cute!?  you should see her smile!

for mother's day we went to rochester to visit mada and jim.  grandma & grandpa were there too!  josie loves her great-grandpa willard.

we flew jim's kite.  it turned out to be a beautiful day.  they were predicting rain all day.  but luckily, they were wrong!

my grandma, me, and my mom.  the mothers.

honestly, i don't know how these pictures get into my camera.  josie eating breakfast.  nevermind the disaster behind her...it's totally normal.

the other morning i woke to find two strange cowboys and one sweet cowgirl in my living room.  they look pretty threatening don't they?

grandpa willard gave all of the grandkids (including me) a ride in jim's new lawn wagon.

sweet.

ok.  so i'm not good at putting these pictures in order.  oh well.

survey says!

dearest readers, as most of you know, jason's family runs a dairy farm.  they milk about 100 jersey cows and jason is works there as well as his brother cleeson.  anyhoo...the farm will be hosting "family night on the farm" on june 12th.  judy asked me if i would take the family picture to go out in the brochures/mailings and such.  so tonight (since it finally wasn't raining) we attempted a family picture.  below are the two best contenders.  which one do you like best?  leave me a comment if you don't mind.  and then stop on out for family night on the farm if you are in the area!

Option A

Option B

Some Pics Today...

today was beautiful.  it was warm and sunny, albeit windy.  we spent some much needed time outside.  josie sat right down in the field.



this is actually a picture from easter.  aren't my boys good looking?!


josie loves her grandpa and loves to ride in the "beep-beep".  grandpa was down picking rocks out of the field and josie just wouldn't let him leave without giving her a ride.


this is my grandpa, the tree tapper.  i love him so much!  he is one of the most realistic, yet positive people i know.  and he is a great story teller.

Ouch...

so guess what i did last night...i went running.  yes, you heard me right, running!  i ran one mile and walked a mile.  and now my legs HURT!  i plan to go every night, or maybe every other ( i need to recover).  i have got to lose this muffin top i have going on.  it is out of control!

Maple Syrup

so my family has a history with maple syrup.  my great-grandfather, albert holcomb, was born in 1850 in rock elm, wisconsin.  he farmed the land that was handed down from his father, levi,  and his grandfather, also named levi.  on that "home farm" was a chunk of woods with 290 maple trees.  we don't know for sure if  either of the levi's made syrup, but albert did.  he built a small wooden shack in the woods, "the sugar bush", and that is where he boiled and made maple syrup.

now for anyone who has never had real maple syrup...you have to have real maple syrup.  there is nothing like it.  syrup straight out of a tree is one of my favorite things!  it takes 30-40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup.  now that original "sugar bush" is no longer there, it burned in the 1960's, but another "sugar bush" was built by my grandfather, willard holcomb, in that same woods.  he and i plan to take a walk out there this spring, to see what is left.  doesn't that sound like fun!?  i'll post pictures of that for sure.

we headed over to wisconsin, to my grandparent's house for easter weekend (i know i'm a little late) and my grandpa, who is 82 by the way, decided he was going to tap the three maple trees that he has growing in the yard next to his house in town.  i had never actually seen the process of tapping a tree and wanted to document it with pictures.  

because my internet/computer is slow, i am unable to post all of the pictures of the process, but i did post a few of my favorites...


first, grandpa drilled a hole in the side of the tree.  as you can see here, the sap begins to flow almost immediately.





next, a metal spicket, called a spile, is inserted into the hole and hammered in tight.





in this picture you can see how easily the sap begins flowing.  and yes, that's some blood down below the spile.  (grandpa hit his finger with the hammer)





the kids thought this was great fun and wanted to taste the sap.





another spile.  the sap is collected in buckets and boiled down to make the syrup.  grandpa said they gathered about 10 gallons over the weekend and came out with about 1 quart of syrup.


grandma had some syrup on hand already (always does) and so we made "wax".  that's when you boil the syrup and pour it over a pan of snow.  it cools to form a waxy candy.  it is so yummy and so bad for your teeth :)

This Is Disturbing...Yes?!

Tired...

did i mention how totally exhausted i am?  seriously exhausted.  i think something is wrong with me.  i get plenty of sleep, but am still so tired.


i am so ready for this semester to be over.  only 5 weeks left, hallelujah!  i don't think i will attempt to go full-time again.  i feel like i'm either neglecting my family or neglecting my school work all of the time.  

i went to the 36 hour crop last weekend and got so much done!  i will post pics soon.

it's been warming up here a bit and the kids have been outside a lot...

Here It Comes Again...

every month or so i go through this phase of really disliking my life.  it's that time again.  it is so frustrating, because i know it will pass, but i have to endure it all first.  my temper flares, my patience is short and i'm incredibly tired and lazy.  it is not a good feeling.


school is pretty overwhelming right now and the house is falling apart.  i spent my entire spring break doing laundry.  literally.  i did 12 loads one day.  it was pretty yucky!  hey but at least i have clothes to wash and a washer to wash them.  it could be worse.

it's finally warming up here in mn.  it was 40 degrees today.  the snow is melting and everthing is muddy and wet.  i am looking forward to planting some trees and perennials this spring.

this weekend i am going to a 36 hour crop at our local scrapbook store, Scrapper's Haven, which is also where i work.  i am so excited, i have a lot i want to get done!!!

One of My Favorite Pictures...


this is one of my favorite pictures of malachi.  he's so funny when he tries to "be mad".  i have been on spring break this week and to be honest, it hasn't been much of a break.  i've spent the entire week doing laundry!  my laundry room was literally overflowing.  i had to stand on a 2 foot deep pile of laundry just to reach the washing machine.  good grief, guess i haven't done laundry lately.  anyway, i'm pretty much caught up which feels great!

the boys spent three hours outside playing in the snow today.  that was sure nice.  they have really started to enjoy more dramatic play and role play.  creating gas stations for their dumptrucks.  so sweet!  i have been trying to post some pics of them all day, but my computer hasn't been cooperating.

i found these sweet mailboxes at target a while back and bought one for each of the kids.  i got my inspiration for decorating them at emily giovanni's blog.  she's incredible!  i put some candy in each one and a little love note to each kid and gave them as a valentine's day gift.  i plan to reuse these each year and add a new love note.  then by the time they are teenagers (and hate me) they'll have a box full of love!





we had a good valentine's day, hope you all did as well.  i bought some big yummy cookies from a local bakery, which the kids devoured.


so i found these cool new "baubles" here...
aren't they fun!?  these were just some of my favorites.  she has all kinds on her site, go check it out!





my dear mother has had the three older kids since saturday!! so jason and i went on a date.  we ate at a new mongolian restaurant in rochester that was pretty good.  then we went to best-buy and bought a movie, stopped at baker's square and bought a french silk pie and went home and gorged ourselves.  it was lovely.  we also went to gymboree (love) and bought a few things for the kiddos.  i am tired today.  too much sleep i guess (is that possible?) i have a big test this week and two next week. yucko!  poor little josie needs her second flu shot today.
