A Few Words About Banks From US Presidents

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks...will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the the continent their fathers conquered....The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

~Thomas Jefferson in the debate over the Re-charter of the Bank Bill (1809).

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies."

~Thomas Jefferson

"History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and its issuance."

~James Madison

"I am a most unhappy man.  I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Out system of credit is concentrated.  The growth of the nation, therefore, and all of our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst rules, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world, no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."

~ Woodrow Wilson, several years after signing the law that created the United States Federal Reserve

And from one British Prime Minister...

"The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see."

~ Sir Winston Churchill
