Empower Yourself to Fight the Power

Global Research

“The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented.


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 the pen they will create enough money to buy it back again...


Take this great power away from them and all 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 slaves of the banks and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let bankers continue to create money and control credit.”

– Sir Josiah Stamp, a Director of the Bank of England, 1928-1941
- speaking at the University of Texas in 1927
(reputed to be the 2nd richest man in Britain at the time)
