Report

Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr. revealed the Bankers Manifesto of 1892 to the

U.S. Congress somewhere between 1907 and 1917.

BANKERS MANIFESTO We(the bankers) must proceed with caution and guard every move

made, for the lower order of people are already showing signs of restless commotion.

Prudence will therefore show a policy of apparently yielding to the popular will until our plans

are so far consummated that we can declare our designs without fear of any organized

resistance. Organizations in the United States should be carefully watched by our trusted

men, and we must take immediate steps to control these organizations in our interest or

disrupt them. At the coming Omaha convention to be held July 4, 1892, our men must attend

and direct its movement or else there will be set on foot such antagonism to our designs as

may require force to overcome. This at the present time would be premature. We are not yet

ready for such a crisis. Capital must protect itself in every possible manner through

combination (conspiracy) and legislation. The courts must be called to our aid, debts must be

collected, bonds and mortgages foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When, through the

process of law, the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and

easily governed through the influence of the strong arm of the government applied to a

central power of imperial wealth under the control of the leading financiers. People without

homes will not quarrel with their leaders. History repeats itself in regular cycles. This truth

is well known among our principal men who are engaged in forming an imperialism of the

world. While they are doing this, the people must be kept in a state of political antagonism.

The question of tariff reform must be urged through the organization known as the

Democratic Party, and the question of protection with the reciprocity must be forced to view

through the Republican Party. By thus dividing voters, we can get them to expend their

energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us, except as teachers to the

common herd. Thus, by discrete actions, we can secure all that has been so generously

planned and successfully accomplished. From The Politics of Common Sense The above

was taken from the "Banker's Manifest,"for the private circulation among leading bankers

only, taken from the "Civil Servants Year Book, "The Organizer"of January, 1934.

The Banker's Manifesto ties in with U.S. Senate Document No. 43, 73rd

Congress,

1st

Session (1934), to wit: bq. "The ultimate ownership ofall property is in the State;

individual so-called "ownership" is only by virtue of Government, i.e., law, amounting to

mere "user" and use must be in acceptance with law and subordinate to the necessities of

the State." The following is quoted from John Prukop of the Coalition of a Constitutional

Washington: The "plan" is to control all resources, human and natural. The control is not

by elected public officials, but by a self-appointed oligarchy. This is born out by reading the

details of Article 21 and 39 of the "Convention On Biological Diversity." This treaty declaresthere are no reservation of rights. Article 21 mandates that three international

organizations, the UNEP, UNDP and the World Bank, will direct and control "the policy,

strategy, programme priorities and eligibility criteria relating to access to and utilization of

resources" in each member country. The Bankers' Manifesto of 1934 Capital must protect

itself in every way, through combination and through legislation. Debts must be collected and

loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When through a process of law, the

common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and more easily governed

by the strong arm of the law applied by the central power of wealth, under control of leading

financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known

among our principle men now engaged in forming an IMPERIALISM of capital to govern the

world. By dividing the people we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over

questions of no importance to us except as teachers of the common herd. Thus by discrete

action we can secure for ourselves what has been generally planned and successfully

accomplished ...TODAYS POWER GRABIT IS NOT BY CHANCE that millions of

Americans have lost their homes during the tenure of the current President of the

United States. There is a great power grab under way, and a people without personal

savings or homes are more easily controlled. It is also not by chance that the same banks

that the Pujo Commission http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ars%C3%A8ne_Pujo sought to limit in

their power, are today the major beneficiaries of the current financial crisis.

JPMorgan Chase received the assets of Lehman Brothers in a deal brokered by

the government and the Federal Reserve. Washington Mutual, AIG, and Wachovia Bank are

also being consolidated into an ever smaller number of super banks that are all controlled by

a cabal of bankers, *the same cabal that control the Federal Reserve. *

I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation

is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of

the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to

be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated

governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a

government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion

and duress of a small group of dominant men.

Just before passage of the Federal Reserve Act, Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh Sr.

declared:

This Act (the Federal Reserve Act, Dec. 23rd 1913) establishes the most gigantic trust on

earth. When the President signs the Bill, the invisible government of the Monetary Power will

be legalised... The worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking and

currency Bill...
