Did he say this about the Fed, which didn't exist yet? He must've been able to see the future.  pointlessly spent on the military and all kinds of pointless military engagements (Iraq being the latest). This is arguably the biggest reason for the enormous national debt. Check out National Priorities Project - Cost of War for the current figures on how much the Iraq war has cost so far. |
Baltar,
It was 1789 when Alexander Hamilton lobbied for the first privately owned Federal Bank. We had two Federal Reserve systems which lasted 20 years each and now we are almost 100 yrs into the third. So there was no need for Lincoln to see in the future...
In 1836 for example, President Jackson fought with Congress over claiming that private parties were trying to run the US via the Reserve. Thomas Jefferson also said that the biggest threat to the US was a Private Reserve
If you do not believe that Lincoln, Jackson or Jefferson spoke out about a Privately held Federal Reserve then why don't you research it. Its public record. Why would I misquote a US President when its so easy to research. Obviously you didn't bother. I'll leave out the exclamations points here Steve.
It is also not conspiracy theory to know which companies own the current Federal Reserve and to also know that they own major shares in NBC, CBS and the Washington Post. I can't prove that they have any influence in what their companies report, its just is a HUGE conflict of interest. Again, this is public record.
So many US Presidents and Senators have spoken out about this and I am doing my best to give quotes of people with a lot more legitimacy and respect that I posess.
I'll leave you with a quote:
Henry Ford said "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning".
Baltar, What do you think he meant by that statement?
