and as too few today seem to understand, it very quickly became a World war. But the revolution began well before thewar. As John Adams famously observed, 'The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people.' And it changed theWorld. There was no American nation, no army at the start, no sweeping popular support for rebellion, nor much promiseof success. No rebelling people had ever broken free from the grip of colonial empire, and those we call patriots were alsoclearly traitors to the King. And so, as we must never forget, when they pledged 'their lives, their fortunes, their sacredhonor,' it was not in a manner of speaking. We call them Founding Fathers, in tribute, but tend to see them as distant anda bit unreal, like figures in a costume pageant. Yet very real they were, real as all that stirred their 'hearts and minds,'and it has meaning in our time as never before. With change accelerating all around, more and more we needunderstanding and appreciation of those principles upon which the republic was founded. What were those 'self-evident'truths that so many risked all for, fought for, suffered and died for? What was the source of their courage? Who werethose people? I don't think we can ever know enough about them. "History records that the money changers have usedevery form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible, to maintain their control over governments, bycontrolling money and its issuance."President James Madison: "It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. We hold this prudentjealousy to be the first duty of citizens and one of the noblest characteristics of the late Revolution. The free men ofAmerica did not wait until usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise and entangled the question in precedents.They saw all the consequences in the principle, and they avoided the consequences by denying the principle." Popular andcourageous war-hero of the Battle of New Orleans, President Andrew Jackson toppled yet another instrument ofCongressional corruption, the second "Bank of the United States" — which, incredibly, was soon established withoutqualification, despite the consistently adverse affairs of every such bank in history. "If congress has the right under theConstitution to issue paper money, it was given them to use themselves, not to be delegated to individuals orcorporations."President Andrew Jackson: "I am one of those who do not believe that a national debt is a national blessing, but rathera curse to a republic; inasmuch as it is calculated to raise around the administration a monied aristocracy dangerous tothe liberties of the country." Not long after Thomas Jefferson stood against the central bankers at the founding of theUnited States, Jackson waged a heroic battle to cast away the Second Bank of the United States — a central bank styledin the very same lines as the later, so-called 'Federal Reserve' — likewise adorned with a purposed name, certainlyintended to deceive the people. Jackson told the bankers, "You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out.And by eternal God, I WILL rout you out." And he did. But banking and contemporary "financing" as we know it todaywere not extinguished entirely; and they continued to seek to multiply their wealth at the ever greater expense of thenation. A great clash would soon follow in the midst of the Civil War. The whole history of progress of human liberty showsthat all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle. If there is no struggle, there is noprogress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing upthe ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning, they want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters.This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be astruggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people willquietly submit to and you have found the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, andthese will continue until they are resisted.Frederick Douglass: "Find out just what the people will submit to and you have found out the exact amount of injusticeand wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, orboth. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress." "The money powers prey uponthe nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. The banking powers are more despotic than amonarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. They denounce as public enemies all whoquestion their methods or throw light upon their crimes. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me andthe bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe. [As a most undesirable consequence of thewar...] Corporations have been enthroned, and an era of corruption in high places will follow. The money power of thecountry will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated inthe hands of a few, and the Republic is destroyed."President Abraham Lincoln: "The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed tosatisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers. By the adoption of these principles,the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant ofhumanity." "No duty is more imperative on the Government than the duty it owes the people to furnish them with a soundand uniform currency, and of regulating the circulation of the medium of exchange so that labor will be protected from avicious currency, and commerce will be facilitated by cheap and safe exchanges." "The available supply of gold and silverbeing wholly inadequate to permit the issuance of coins of intrinsic value or paper currency convertible into coin in thevolume required to serve the needs of the people, some other basis for the issue of currency must be developed, andsome means other than that of convertibility into coin must be developed to prevent undue fluctuations in the value ofpaper currency or any other substitute for money of intrinsic value that may come into use. "The monetary needs ofincreasing numbers of people advancing toward higher standards of living can and should be met by the Government.Government has the power to regulate the currency and credit of the nation. "Government possessing the power to createand issue currency and credit as money and enjoying the right to withdraw both currency and credit from circulation bytaxation and otherwise, need not and should not borrow capital at interest as the means of financing governmental workand public enterprise. "The privilege of creating and issuing money is not only the supreme prerogative of Government,but it is the Government’s greatest creative opportunity."
