Show Some Reflections It is of record that Thomas Jefferson, the apostle of Democracy, De-mocracy, many years ago said, "If the American people ever allowed the private banks to control the issuance of their currency, cur-rency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations, cor-porations, that will grow up aronnd them will deprive the people peo-ple of all their property until their children will wake up homeless home-less in the continent their fathers conquered." Haven't the people of the United States allowed private banks to control the issuance of their currency? They most certainly have. If the banks and the corporations that have grown up around them have not already deprived the people of all their property they have just about accomplished that very thing to date. I am most decided in my opinion that Thomas Jefferson was inspired by God when he made the above statement. Have the children of the American people woke up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered? Millions of them have and many millions more are awakening from their more or less peaceful! slumbers to find their property is rapidly and surely slipping into the hands of banksan 1 their allies.big .business .bus-iness who have a strangle hold upon the American people as well as the people of all nations and countries under heaven. Presidents of our nation as vvell as the leading Ministers of all the churches often quote the inspired words in the speeches speech-es of Thomas Jefferson, but their masteis, "Big Business" will never let them quote, if they can help it, the foregoing statement of Jefferson. Reader, you know why. Respectfully, James E. Hart. |
