The following from Plenocracy explains one of the high crimes of the money system. The wonder is that the people have not long ago rebelled against it. It is true, as George A. Startup of Provo says; "A11 reforms wait on money reform. If once the people should awaken to what has been perpetrated against them by the money sytem there will be a reck'ning that will reckon. Read and study the following: .Monday j our great Uncle made 31,000.00 of paper money for the money lender, who paid ONLY 30 cents for it. On Tuesday your great Uncle borrowed this 31,000.00 back and 39,000 00 more in credit (the right to chech against a credit entry), and gave to this money lender a government bond for $10,000.00, guaranteed to lie on the backs of the people untill they break. And they will break! My brother, behold your great Uncle Sam, in whom you trust, making a thousand dollars for 80 cents for the money lender one day and borrowing TEN THOUSAND back the next day by giving ihe money bond on tbe people of the nationl lender a cents In other words, for 30 paid only once as the cost of printing the $1,000.00, the money lender cau loan it back ten times in one deal and draw on the basis of $200.00 per year on this. This means that the money lender in vests 30 cents once and receives every year 66,600 (200.00 profit on 30 cts, the cost of printing) and this is taken out of the sweat and death cries of mothers driven from their homes. May God lean over the battlements of heaven and raise up again some savior to die for the guilty as he did when Lincoln dared to face the international paps who finally assassinated him. In a land where plenty sings on every breeie, bends low to feed us from every loaded tree, swims in the stream, and groans in the fields summoning us to cease our selfishness and become the stewards of Gods plenty, as Jesus did to multipiy the loaves S and fishes as an expression of RIGHT under Divine Law.
