Before 1913, Americans could veto government spending by not buying bonds. The Federal Reserve Act in 1913 allowed the government to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank without needing public approval. This created an unlimited credit line, bypassing the people's economic veto power. Now, the government can borrow without collateral, unlike individuals who need collateral to borrow money from a bank.

The transcript presents a sweeping critique of the modern monetary system, arguing that money is created not by governments but by private banks through debt, with consequences that affect the entire world. The speakers outline a long historical arc in which banking interests, central banks, and debt-based money have steadily gained power, eroded public sovereignty, and produced recurring crises, while the general population bears the costs. Key claims and points - The root problem: The money supply is created by the community of money users through borrowing from commercial banks. The bulk of money creation originates with banks, which decide when and how much money to produce, leading to an out-of-control system. Governments borrow money from banks, which effectively enslaves the broader economy. - Concept of the debt-money system: The money system is described as a global Ponzi scheme, in which new money comes into existence as debt with interest. Because interest must be paid, the system requires ever more debt to be sustained, and people and nations are drawn into a cycle that benefits banks at the expense of the public. - Historical pattern of private control: The narrative traces a long history in which private banking families (notably the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, and Morgans) and allied financiers manipulated governments to borrow and to reward speculative advantage. It alleges that private central banks and debt-based money systems sought to consolidate power in private hands, sometimes by fomenting or exploiting crises. - Tally sticks and early monetary control: In medieval England, tally sticks were used as money and as a way to keep money power out of bankers’ hands. Their suppression by bankers in 1834 is described as a revenge of a debt-free money system that had empowered the public for centuries. - Goldsmiths, fractional reserve lending, and counterfeiting: The text explains fractional reserve lending as a historic means by which goldsmiths expanded the money supply beyond real reserves, enabling them to profit from interest and to influence economies; this practice is labeled a form of counterfeiting and a source of systemic instability. - The rise of central banking and central control: The transformation from debt-free or government-issuing money to privately controlled central banks is traced from the Bank of England (1694) to the U.S. National Banking Act (1863) and the creation of the Federal Reserve System (1913). The Aldrich Plan, the Jekyll Island meeting (1910–1912), and the public relations campaign to popularize a central banking system are described as pivotal steps toward centralized control over the money supply. - Lincoln’s greenbacks and the political fight over money: The narrative emphasizes Abraham Lincoln’s issuance of greenbacks during the Civil War as debt-free money created by the government. It claims bankers reacted defensively (Hazard Circular) and moved to undermine greenbacks through bonds and later the National Banking Act, which made private banks central to the money supply. Lincoln’s assassination is linked to the broader battle over monetary policy. - Civil War, the rise of debt, and depressions: The text links episodes such as the Panic of 1837, the Coinage Act of 1873, and the Panic of 1893 to deliberate contractions or manipulations of money supply by banking interests. It argues these episodes were engineered to force or normalize debt-based monetary arrangements and central banking. - The 20th century and the Federal Reserve: The Great Depression is attributed to deliberate contraction of the money supply by the Federal Reserve. The text argues that the Fed, a privately owned central bank, has operated to protect the banking sector at the public’s expense, with the 2008 financial crisis cited as confirmation of this dynamic. - Political economy and influence: The narrative contends that politics and academia have been co-opted by moneyed interests. It asserts that large campaign contributions from banks shape policy, and that many economists are funded or controlled by the Reserve and major banks, limiting critical debate about monetary reform. It also claims media and public discourse are constrained by debt relationships and corporate power. - Proposed reforms and principles: Across speakers, a consensus emerges around three core reforms: - Forbid government borrowing as a mechanism for money creation; return to debt-free, government-created money that serves the public interest. - Put money creation under public control, not private banks, with national or local sovereign authority issuing debt-free currency. - End fractional reserve lending and ensure robust competition among banks so that money is created in the public interest and channeled into productive real-economy lending rather than financial speculation. - Practical implementation ideas offered by some speakers: - Government to issue debt-free sovereign currency directly; private banks would compete to lend government-approved money to the public. - Eliminate consolidated currencies (e.g., the euro) in favor of national sovereignty over money creation. - Use monetary policy to match money supply with real productive activity, controlling inflation by adjusting the money supply through public channels rather than debt-based credit expansion. - Repeal or reform existing central banking structures to reestablish a Bank of the United States owned by the people rather than by private banks. - Promote transparency, reduce the influence of special interests in academia and media, and educate the public about money creation. - Enduring critique and warning: If the status quo persists, the system is said to threaten Western civilization and global freedom, with potential for continued debt-serfdom and systemic collapse if debt-based money and private central banks remain in control. - Concluding perspective: The speakers urge decisive reform, emphasizing that the truth about money creation is accessible to the public and that collective political will can restore monetary systems to serve the people. They conclude with a call to remember Margaret Mead’s idea that a small group can change the world, and exhort listeners to pursue debt-free monetary reform as a path to greater production, independence, and freedom.

Our financial systems are antiquated. We're unable to track trillions of dollars in transactions. Information sharing is severely limited by outdated and incompatible technological systems.

- Speaker 0: Since Israel began strikes on Gaza after Hamas’ surprise attack on October 7, it has targeted residential buildings. The UN says nearly 200,000 structures have been destroyed or damaged. With so many fleeing attacks, Palestinians packed into makeshift shelters, many of them UN run schools, but they were not safe. More than 1,000 schools have been bombed, and Israel has destroyed most of Gaza's hospitals, including Al Shifa, where more than 400 Palestinians were killed in a raid in March 2024. - Speaker 1: We make the best weapons in the world, and we’ve got a lot of them. And we’ve given a lot to Israel, frankly. And I mean, Bibi would call me so many times, can you get me this weapon, that weapon, that weapon. Some of them I never heard of, baby, and I made them. But we’d get them here, wouldn’t we? And they are the best. They are the best. And you but you used them well. It also takes people that know how to use them, and you obviously used them very well. But so many that Israel became strong and powerful, which ultimately led to peace. That’s what led to peace. So as we celebrate today, let us remember how this nightmare of depravity and death all began. - Speaker 2: In 1948, when the land of Palestine was officially stolen and given to a group of rabid Zionists who murdered over 10,000 Palestinians. This crime against humanity was decided as early as 1917 with the Balfour Declaration, the British Crown, and Lord Rothschild of the Rothschild banking dynasty, otherwise known as the Bank of England, who when it’s all said and done, will have control over hundreds of billions of dollars worth of Palestinian oil and gas reserves. As Michael Roverero famously said, all wars are bankers’ wars. According to Benjamin Franklin, the primary catalyst for the American Revolution was the Bank of England’s Currency Act. After the revolution, a value based economy with no interest being paid to any central bank was created. But it didn’t last long. The first bank of the United States was chartered in 1791 and favored foreign stockholders over Americans. The charter ended in January 1811 followed by the war of eighteen twelve and the establishment of the second bank of the United States in 1816, which gave more power to the Bank of England. Andrew Jackson successfully killed the bank’s renewal and shortly after became the first US president targeted for assassination when Richard Lawrence drew pistols on him outside The US capital, but misfired. Laws were passed in the early eighteen sixties for the US government to issue its own currency in a value based economy as opposed to the debt based system imposed by central banks. According to an 1864 edition of the London Times, this would have made America the wealthiest nation of the world. The article warned that if a government creates its own money, it will be without debt. It will become prosperous without precedent in the history of the world and therefore must be destroyed. In 1865, president Lincoln was assassinated, and the economy was quickly phased back to the central bank’s debt enslavement model. In 1913, the tyrannical Federal Reserve Bank and federal income tax was born. The two world wars brought Germany under the heel of the central banking cartel. Western banking institutions financed the Bolshevik revolution. In 2000, Iraq stopped selling its oil and Federal Reserve notes. In 2003, Iraq was illegally invaded by The United States and dollar based oil sales were reinstated. In Libya, Muammar Gaddafi’s gold dinar currency was making the nation rich. In 2011, The US invaded and reverted Libya’s oil sales to dollars. The Bank for International Settlements recently proposed efforts under the guise of anti money laundering that would provide scores to tokens and digital wallets including stablecoins. Digital ID, social credit scores, and a carbon tax is what the bankers are up to now. And everything else is a distraction. Today’s war is mostly psychological, and it’s being waged upon you.

For 137 years, America had no federal income tax until the 16th amendment in 1913. Abraham Lincoln tried during the Civil War, but it was deemed unconstitutional. Despite this, America had roads and infrastructure before 1913, as shown by the Brooklyn Bridge, New York City subway, Broadway, Penn Station, Grand Central Station, 5th Avenue, Grand Army Plaza, and Wall Street. Public schools may not emphasize this history.

During World War I, the US and Germany had war economies overseen by their central banks. The German central bank, the Reichsbank, was headed by Max Warburg. The key person and a founder of the Federal Reserve in the US was Paul Warburg. Max and Paul Warburg were brothers. Therefore, the heads of the German and American central banks were brothers during a war between the US and Germany.

During World War I, the US and Germany had war economies, with central banks at the top. The head of the German central bank, the Reichsbank, was Max Warburg.

Therefore, the heads of the American and German central banks were brothers during a war between the US and Germany.

The Federal Reserve and the government incorrectly call paper currency "base money," but it is actually base currency because it is not money. Money must be a store of value and maintain its purchasing power. Historically, paper currency represented real money like gold and silver held at the treasury, redeemable at any bank. Now, base currency is a receipt or claim check on a bond IOU.

In 1913, the American people had direct veto power over federal spending by choosing whether or not to buy government bonds. This system kept government small until the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 created an unlimited credit line for the government to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank, bypassing the people's economic veto power. This allowed the government to borrow without needing permission from the people, changing the system significantly.

During Abraham Lincoln's presidency, European monarchy agents instigated a rift between the North and South, creating a banker's war. Lincoln, denied reasonable loans from European banks, issued interest-free, debt-free money called greenbacks, based on the American people's credit, not silver or gold. The London Times warned that if this policy persisted, the U.S. would become prosperous, attracting global wealth and threatening monarchies. Bankers understood that sovereign governments printing debt-free money would break their power. A decade after the Civil War, greenbacks were worth as much as gold. The speaker claims Trump moved the Federal Reserve back under Treasury authority. The speaker also claims the Queen of England defers to the Mayor of London annually because the bankers control world governments through money from the City of London. These bankers, representing royal bloodlines, rule by right of blood.

In 1910, private bankers like the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, and Morgans met secretly on Jekyll Island to draft legislation for the creation of the Federal Reserve. Interestingly, the same year saw the establishment of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which is disguised as a government-owned income system in the US. Surprisingly, if you search for the Federal Reserve in the Washington DC telephone book, you won't find it listed under the government pages but rather in the white pages alongside Federal Express. This reveals that the Federal Reserve is actually a privately owned central bank. Central banks are involved in banking operations.

The banking system in the United States relies solely on public confidence, which is based on the soundness of the product, not marketing. Confidence is crucial because the banking system does not actually have the money it appears to.

Our financial systems are outdated, making it difficult to track trillions of dollars in transactions. Additionally, the lack of compatibility between different technological systems prevents us from sharing information within this building.

In 1913, the Federal Reserve Act gave the US government an unlimited credit line from the Federal Reserve Bank, bypassing the people's veto power. Before this, the government had to get approval from the people by selling bonds. This system kept the government small until 1913 when they could borrow without asking the people, leading to excessive spending.

Jekyll Island, November 1910. Seven bankers meeting in secret to create America's central bank. We just can't call it that. We'll create money from nothing, loan it to the government, and charge interest. Every dollar we print steals value from existing dollars. If we ever get off the gold standard, governments can print money for wars. Endless wars become possible and profitable. Since Americans hate central banks, we'll call it the Federal Reserve. Not federal. No reserves. The president will appoint board members, but we'll pick who he appoints. We'll have 12 regional banks, looks decentralized, democratic even, but New York banks control them all. 12/23/1913, most of congress home for Christmas. Perfect timing for passing unpopular legislation. Every American born after this will inherit debt on money we created from nothing. Generational servitude. Good afternoon.

Andrew Jackson is one of the most important figures in American history, and all schools teach is he was bad because the Trail of Tears. They don't teach that he was the only president in US history to pay off the national debt, reducing America's debt by 99%. It was known as the bank wars. It goes back to the War of 1812, which was ended by then General Andrew Jackson with his victory at the Battle of New Orleans. But the war left America in debt. So in 1816, the federal government gave a charter to the Second Bank of the United States. But just like the Federal Reserve, the bank was privately owned by investors in the Netherlands and England. And when Jackson became president, he vowed to take on the corrupt banking aristocracy, which he did in 1832 when he canceled the charter of the Second Bank of the United States, which means he ended the Fed before the Fed was a thing. Real battle has always been against the banks, has always been against interest on debt, but they don't want you to know that. It's why I wrote a book on the history of the banking system and teach courses on how the system really functions. Oh, and if you're wondering why Andrew Jackson is on the $20 bill, it's because they're mocking him, and they're mocking us.

A central bank is an institution that issues and regulates a nation's currency. It controls interest rates and the money supply. The central bank loans money to the government with interest. This system creates debt because every dollar produced is actually the dollar plus a certain percentage of debt. The banking system has a monopoly on currency production and continually increases the money supply to cover the outstanding debt. This perpetuates more debt and creates a cycle of slavery. In the early 20th century, powerful banking families like the Rockefellers and Rothschilds pushed for the creation of another central bank. They used an incident orchestrated by JP Morgan to sway public opinion.

In 1910, influential figures like the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, and Morgans met secretly on Jekyll Island to draft legislation for the creation of the Federal Reserve. Interestingly, the same year saw the establishment of the Internal Revenue Service and the introduction of income tax, which burdened ordinary citizens with the government's debt. Surprisingly, if you search for the Federal Reserve in the Washington DC telephone book, you won't find it in the government pages but rather in the white pages alongside Federal Express. This reveals that the Federal Reserve is a privately owned central bank. Central banks are involved in banking operations.

The Morgan family faced issues with the SEC due to concerns that J.P. Morgan held excessive power. He bailed out America in 1895 and 1907, leading the government to believe that one individual shouldn't wield such influence. Consequently, the Federal Reserve was created, modeled after Europe's Central Bank. However, JPMorgan was not, and still is not, part of the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve consists of twelve reserve banks from the United States with elected and selected officials.

Our financial systems are outdated, hindering our progress. It is estimated that $2.3 trillion in transactions cannot be tracked. Additionally, we face challenges in sharing information within this building due to incompatible and inaccessible technological systems.

Before the Civil War, the U.S. banking system was a jumble of local banks, local currencies, and conflicting regulations. Traveling from state to state meant converting cash to local money. This confusion made Americans feel they were not part of a truly unified nation.

Before 1913, Americans had direct control over federal spending because the government needed to sell bonds to borrow money. If citizens disagreed with a project, they simply didn't buy the bonds, keeping government size in check. This changed with the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, which provided the government with an unlimited credit line from the Federal Reserve, bypassing the public's veto power. Now, the government could borrow directly without seeking permission from the people. In traditional lending, collateral is required for loans, but this new system allowed the government to operate without the same constraints.

Central banks caused wealth inequality and economic instability. The Federal Reserve Act was deceptively passed in 1913 by wealthy bankers who disguised their intentions. They used misinformation to deceive the public and Congress, ultimately gaining a monopoly over American money issuance.

Our financial systems are outdated, hindering our progress. It is estimated that we are unable to trace $2.3 trillion in transactions. Additionally, the lack of compatibility between various technological systems prevents us from sharing information within this building.
