Money creation | Quotes about the magic of money

"For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure--one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." David Rockefeller

"If my sons did not want wars, there would be none." Gutle Schnapper Rothschild

"In schools, children learn above all to accept the system, to work for paper money, and not to question the government. They do not learn to make peace, to forgive, to be helpful to all people, and certainly not wisdom. It is a breeding ground for training the future workhorses of the elites to be puppets loyal to the system." Matthias Lubos

"We now live in a nation where doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the press destroys information, religion destroys morals, and our banks destroy the economy." Chris Hedges

"Everything is backwards; everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the major media destroy information and religions destroy spirituality." Michael Ellner

"The few who could understand the system (checks, money, credits) will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favours, that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage 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." Nathaniel Meyer Rothschild

""In a money-driven sham democracy, the financial system takes precedence over the law." This is state-legalized fraud. The consequences of this fraud are: exploitation of people and nature, quantitative growth pressure, national debt, privatization, progressive impoverishment of many people, concentration of wealth and power among the richest, corruption, crises, and wars. The mainstream media, corporations, and the ruling political puppets are all part of this fraudulent system." Rico Albrecht

"The Government are extremely fond of amassing great quantities of statistics. These are raised to the nth degree, the cube roots are extracted, and the results are arranged into elaborate and impressive displays. What must be kept in mind, however, is that in every case, the figures are first put down by a village watchman, and he puts down anything he damn well pleases!" Sir Josiah Stamp

"Gold is money, everything else is credit" John Pierpont Morgan

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and born in sin... Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them but leave them the power to create money, and, with the flick of a pen, they will create enough money to buy it back again... Take this great power away from them and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for then this would be a better and happier world to live in... But, if you want to continue to be a slave of the bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let the bankers continue to create money and control credit." Sir Josiah Stamp

"If you want to remain a slave to the banks and want them to pay the cost of your own slavery, then let them continue the issue of currency control and regulate the money supply of the nation." Sir Josiah Stamp

"Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws!" Mayer Amschel Rothschild

"Our monetary system gives rise to capitalism, interest, mass poverty, revolt, and ultimately civil war, which leads back to barbarism. Anyone who prefers to exercise their own mind rather than smash the heads of others should study the nature of money." Silvio Gesell
