The End and the Beginning
This looks like the beginning plans of the Taming of The united States into a lap dog and Pit Bull for the Banking system which must have growth to cover the printing/making of money without any product or service to support it on the books of the basic economics 101.
"ROTHSCHILD BROTHERS BANKERS
"London, June 25th. 1863.
"Messrs. Ikleheimer, Morton and Vandergould,
No. 3 Wall Street, New York, U.S.A.
"DEAR SIRS: A Mr. John Sherman has written us from a town in Ohio, U.S.A., as to the profits that may be made in the National Banking business under a recent act of your Congress, a copy of which act accompanied his letter. Apparently this act has been drawn upon the plan formulated here last summer by the British Bankers' Association and by that Association recommended to our American friends as one that if enacted into law, would prove highly profitable to the banking fraternity throughout the world.
"Mr. Sherman declares that there has never before been such an opportunity for capitalists to accumulate money, as that presented by this act and that the old plan, of State Banks is so unpopular, that the new scheme will, by mere contrast, be most favorably regarded, notwithstanding the fact that it gives the National Banks an almost absolute control of the National finances. "The few who can understand the system," he says, "will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of the people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantages that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests."
"Please advise us fully as to this matter, and also, state whether or not you will be of assistance to us, if we conclude to establish a National Bank in the City of New York. If you are acquainted with Mr. Sherman (he appears to have introduced the National Banking act), we will be glad to know something of him. If we avail ourselves of the information he furnished, we will of course make due compensation.
"Awaiting your reply, we are,
"Your Respectful Servants,
ROTHSCHILD BROTHERS."

"New York July 5th. 1863.
"Messrs. Rothschild Brothers,
London, England.
"DEAR SIRS: We beg leave to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of June 25th, in which you refer to a communication received from the Hon. John Sherman of Ohio, with reference to the advantages and profits of an American investment, under the provisions of our National Banking Act.
"The fact that Mr. Sherman speaks well of such an investment, or of any similar one, is certainly not without weight, for that gentleman possesses in a marked degree, the distinguishing characteristics of the successful modern financier. His temperament is such that whatever his feelings may be they never cause him to lose sight of the main chance. He is young, shrewd and ambitious. He has fixed his eye upon the presidency of the United States, and is already a member of Congress. He rightly thinks he has everything to gain both politically and financially (he has financial ambitions too), by being friendly with men and institutions having large financial resources, and which at times, are not too particular in their methods, either of obtaining governmental aid, or protecting themselves against unfriendly legislation. We trust him here implicitly. His intellect and ambition combine to make him exceedingly valuable to us. Indeed, we predict that if his life be spared, he will prove to be the best friend the monied interests of the world have ever had in America.
"As to the organization of a National Bank here, and the nature and profits of such an investment, we beg leave to refer to our printed circular enclosed herein. Inquiries by European capitalists, concerning this matter, have been so numerous, that for convenience we have had our views with regard to it put into printed form.
"Should you determine to organize a bank in this city, we shall be glad to aid you. We can easily find financial friends to make a satisfactory directory, and to fill any official positions not taken by the personal representatives you will send over.
"Your most obedient servants,
IKLEHEIMER, MORTON & VANDERGOULD"
This latter letter, in the paragraph next to the last, mentions a circular enclosed, and which circular is here inserted.

3 Wall Street, New York City
"We have had so many inquiries of late as to the method of organizing national banks under the recent act of congress, and as to the profits that may reasonably be expected from such an investment, that we have thought it best to issue this brief circular as an answer to all questions of our friends and clients:
"1. Any number of persons, not less than five, may organize a national banking corporation.
"2. Except in cities having 6.000 inhabitants or less, a national bank can not have less than $1,000,000 capital.
"3. They are private corporations organized for private gain, and select their own officers and employes.
"4. They are not subject to the control of the state laws, except as congress may from time to time provide.
"5. They can receive deposits and loan the same for their own benefit.
"6. They can buy and sell bonds, and discount paper and do a general banking business.
"7. To start a national bank on the scale of $1,000,000 will require the purchase of that amount (par value) of U.S. Government bonds.
"8. U.S. Government bonds can now be purchased at 50 per cent discount, so that a bank of $1,000,000 capital can be started at this time with only $500,000.
"9. These bonds must be deposited with the U.S. Treasurer at Washington, as security for the national bank currency, that on the making of the deposit will be furnished by the government to the bank.
"10. The U.S. Government will pay 6 per cent interest on the bonds, in gold, the interest being paid semi-annually. It will be seen that at the present price of bonds, the interest paid by the government, will of itself amount to 12 per cent in gold, on all the money invested.
"11. The U.S. Government, under the provisions of the national banking act, on having the bonds aforesaid deposited with its treasurer, will on the strength of such security, furnish national currency to the bank depositing the bonds, to the amount of 90 per cent of the face of the bonds, at an annual interest of only ONE per cent per annum. Thus the deposit of $1,000,000 will secure the issue of $900,000 in currency.
"12. This currency is printed by the U.S. Government in a form so like greenback money, that many people do not detect the difference, although the currency is but a promise of the bank to pay - that is, it is the bank's demand note, and must be signed by the bank's president before it can be used.
"13. The demand for money is so great that this currency can be readily loaned to the people across the counter of the bank at a discount at the rate of 10 per cent at 30 to 60 days' time, making about 12 per cent interest on the currency.
"14. The interest on the bonds, plus the interest on the currency which the bonds secure, plus the incidentals of the business ought to make the gross earnings of the bank amount to from 28 to 33 1-3 per cent. The amount of dividends that may be declared will depend largely upon the salaries the officers of the bank vote themselves, and the character and rental charges of the premises occupied by the bank as a place of business. In case it is thought best that the showing of profits should not appear too large, the now common plan of having the directors buy the bank buildings and then raising the rent and the salaries of the president and cashier may be adopted.
"15. National banks are privileged to either increase or contract their circulation at will and, of course, can grant or withhold loans as they may see fit. As the banks have a national organization, and can easily act together in withholding loans or extending them, it follows that they can by united action in refusing to make loans, cause a stringency in the money market and in a single week or even in a single day cause a decline in all the products of the country. The tremendous possibilities of speculation involved in this control of the money of a country like the United States, will be at once understood by all bankers.
"16. National banks pay no taxes on their bonds, nor on their capital, nor on their deposits. This exemption from taxation is based on the theory that the capital of these banks is invested in U.S. securities, and is a remarkable permission of the law.
"17. The secretary may deposit the public money with any bank at will, and to any amount. In the suit of Mr. Branch against the United States, reported in the 12th. volume of the U.S. Court of Claims Reports, at page 287, it was decided that such "Government deposits are rightfully mingled with the other funds of the bank, and are loaned or otherwise employed in the ordinary business of the bank, and the bank becomes the debtor of the United States precisely as it does to other depositors."
"Requesting that you will regard this circular as strictly confidential, and soliciting any favors in our line that you may have to extend, we are,
"Most respectfully yours,
IKLEHEIMER, MORTON & VANDERGOULD."
1892
Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr. revealed the Bankers Manifesto of 1892 to the U.S. Congress somewhere between 1907 and 1917.
BANKERS MANIFESTO of 1892
We (the bankers) must proceed with caution and guard every move made, for the lower order of people are already showing signs of restless commotion. Prudence will therefore show a policy of apparently yielding to the popular will until our plans are so far consummated that we can declare our designs without fear of any organized resistance.
Organizations in the United States should be carefully watched by our trusted men, and we must take immediate steps to control these organizations in our interest or disrupt them.
At the coming Omaha convention to be held July 4, 1892, our men must attend and direct its movement or else there will be set on foot such antagonism to our designs as may require force to overcome.
This at the present time would be premature. We are not yet ready for such a crisis. Capital must protect itself in every possible manner through combination (conspiracy) and legislation.
The courts must be called to our aid, debts must be collected, bonds and mortgages foreclosed as rapidly as possible.
When, through the process of law, the common people have lost their homes,
they will be more tractable and easily governed through the influence of the strong arm
of the government applied to a central power of imperial wealth under the control of the leading financiers.
People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. History repeats itself in regular cycles. This truth is well known among our principal men who are engaged in forming an imperialism of the world. While they are doing this, the people must be kept in a state of political antagonism.
The question of tariff reform must be urged through the organization known as the Democratic Party, and the question of protection with the reciprocity must be forced to view through the Republican Party.
By thus dividing voters, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us, except as teachers to the common herd. Thus, by discrete actions, we can secure all that has been so generously planned and successfully accomplished.
1913 was a pivotal year for the banking elite.
The number 13 is a number revered by occultists, and is featured prominently in the formation of America whose Masonic founders incorporated this number extensively in the nation's symbols.
It was by design that 1913 should be the year that both the IRS and the Federal Reserve came into existence, establishing the control of the moneyed elite over the nation.
Woodrow Wilson was the President who signed the Federal Reserve act into law.
In later years he lamented his decision.
I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, 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.
[Source: Woodrow Wilson]
Just before passage of the Federal Reserve Act, Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh Sr. declared:
This Act (the Federal Reserve Act, Dec. 23rd 1913) establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President signs the Bill, the invisible government of the Monetary Power will be legalised... The worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking and currency Bill...
So by 1913 they and their American Partners had actually taken over the Monetary System of the United States naming themselves the Federal Reserve Bank/System so that the public would not be clear on what had just happened.
The wars soon began. Almost all the wars were connected in one way or another to peoples and nations trying to break away from the British Empire and their controls via their banking cartel.
1934
Added as Manifesto about the time (1934) they tried to hire Smedly Butler to lead 500,000 troops to take Washington D.C.
Capital must protect itself in every way, through combination and through legislation.
Debts must be collected and loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When through a process of law, the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and more easily governed by the strong arm of the law applied by the central power of wealth, under control of leading financiers.
People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known among our principle men now engaged in forming an IMPERIALISM of capital to govern the world.
By dividing the people we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us except as teachers of the common herd.
Thus by discrete action we can secure for ourselves what has been generally planned and successfully accomplished. (The above was taken from the "Banker's Manifest", for the private circulation among leading bankers only, taken from the "Civil Servants' Year Book, "The Organizer" of January, 1934. The Banker's Manifesto ties in with U.S. Senate Document No. 43, 73rd Congress, 1st Session (1934), to wit:
"The ultimate ownership of all property is in the State; individual so-called "ownership" is only by virtue of Government, i.e., law, amounting to mere "user" and use must be in acceptance with law and subordinate to the necessities of the State."
The following is quoted from John Prukop of the Coalition of a Constitutional Washington:
The "plan" is to control all resources, human and natural. The control is not by elected public officials, but by a self-appointed oligarchy.
This is born out by reading the details of Article 21 and 39 of the "Convention On Biological Diversity." This treaty declares there are no reservation of rights. Article 21 mandates that three international organizations, the UNEP, UNDP and the World Bank, will direct and control "the policy, strategy, programme priorities and eligibility criteria relating to access to and utilization of resources" in each member country.)
One of the biggest problems they have always had was the Constitution of the United States and the United States Bill of Rights. To get around that there were at the vary basics two things that happened
1. The BAR system, the system that controls attorneys and courts was moved from the Legislative Branch to the Judicial Branch. (All but removing the peoples participation in the operating of their nation.) Then they started getting involved in economics because supposedly "economics may provide insight into questions that bear on the proper legal interpretation" (Posner R. The Constitution as an Economic Document. The George Washington Law Review. November 1987. Vol. 56. No. 1)
2. They started replacing the common law rules of the court with rules from the Uniform Commercial Code.
All along the way building support for the replacement of the Government Systems with Corporate Systems.
In 1992 as a result of Executive Order 12803 elected officials and corporations started conspiring to steal public property and teach the public that their parents, grandparents, great grandparents etc. didn't in some way already pay for public and US Government Property, city parks etc. (We own the US Government our State Governments and all of the property).
A few more results of the games of the Bankers and Wall Street
2001 Someone demolished 3 buildings in New York killing thousands of people.
2002
The lockdown of the United States begins with huge police state organizations being invented and built worldwide.
IT IS NOT BY CHANCE that millions of Americans have lost their homes.
JP Morgan Chase received the assets of Lehman Brothers in a deal brokered by the government and the Federal Reserve. Washington Mutual, AIG, and Wachovia Bank are also being consolidated into an ever smaller number of super banks that are all controlled by a cabal of bankers, the same cabal that control the Federal Reserve.
2008
Canada Adds U.S. to List Of Nations That Torture...MORE
By 2010
The US Supreme court has legalized the assassination of Americans alleged to threats to National Security anywhere in the world.
The Supreme Court has also made it legal for the US Government to hold anyone indefinitely with no need to file charges which violates Habeas Corpus.
In fact the courts have also made it legal to for the Government to violate just about all constitutionally protected rights of Americans citizens alleged to be terrorists or alleged to be threats to National Security without the need for the Government to prove or even provide evidence to support the allegations.
Those constitutional rights that the Government no longer needs to provide include trial by jury, protection against illegal search and seizure, and the right to face your accusers...MORE
Thomas Jefferson, in his letter to Thomas Paine, 1789. ME 7:408, Papers 15:269, said: "I consider [trial by jury] as the only anchor ever yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution."
And Patrick Henry warned us well in advance about Government officials who would seek to claim the right to imprison people without a trial: "Is the relinquishment of the trial by jury and the liberty of the press necessary for your liberty? Will the abandonment of your most sacred rights tend to the security of your liberty? Liberty, the greatest of all earthly blessings--give us that precious jewel, and you may take everything else! ...Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel.
2011
As the results of the Corporate systems and their soulless nature begin filtering down through society and banks and their now government partners begin removing the public good or needs from their day to day activities of making money for the banks and the corporations they own. Combined with the exposing and sharing of tons of data between millions of people all over the world. The banking industry, Wall Street and US elected officials have created a very volatile situation worldwide.
In the USA:
Corporations and their Government minions infultrate peoples movements and organizations to prevent truth from surfacing, including agent provocatours to create/stimulate violence....Video
Millions of homes are empty and millions of people are homeless.
American Elections are pretty much "bought" and elected officials are more like lobbyists now than elected officials. Look here opensecrets.org or search for the election records of any elected official and see who donated to them. (Noam Chomsky suggests that the 2012 US Presidential election will sell for 1 Billion dollars) Which means by the way that organizations like the Secret Service are now really protecting corporate executives and not publicly elected officials.
The banks and their goverment partners are now claiming ownership of US Government Property, State Property, City Property etc., property that was paid for by our families over the past generations to be used for the public and by the public as the public sees fit.
You must pay money, even go bankrupt, to not die from health issues.
Small groups of people have made laws then use the police to attack and abuse the public. (Including using tear gas, force and brutality to attack our citizens for being in a park??? Whose park is it? Who paid for it?)
The elected officials of the United States have allowed/instructed the police to abuse and terrorize people that have very real truthful issues about how our country is being used by private interests.
The elected officials of the United States are causing even more division amongst the people of the United States
The self imposed owners of the US Government have sold fear and forced obedience into the people of the United States
The elected officials of the United States have allowed private organizations to pillage the treasury.
The elected officials of the United States have allowed the United States military to be used as a private murder machine for private interests.
Globally
The International Monetary Fund, located in Washington D.C. has been allowed to all but foreclose on nations like Greece
In cities like London 1500+ people die every winter from freezing because they cannot pay their heating bill.
Nations are being attacked and US Military forces are being used for private financial gain.
The Occupy Movement and the Global Revolution began.
Will We Be Next?
Vote the Corporate Puppets OUT and replace them with real representatives of and for the people of the entire United States and your own area! And bring our Republic and it's Democracy back.
