Ebook: The Coming Battle.

COPYRIGHT, 1899 BY M. W. WALBERT

INTRODUCTION.

In this volume the author endeavors to give an accurate history of the present National Bank System of currency, including an account of the first United States Bank,- both of which were borrowed from Great Britain by those statesmen who, like the father of Sir Robert Peel, believed that a national debt was the source of prosperity.

It is believed that the facts adduced in the following pages will be productive of some good, in pointing out the immense evils lurking in that system of banking, a system which has produced panics at will, and which is the active abettor of the stock gamblers, railroad wreckers, and those industrial tyrants of modern times, the enormously overcapitalized and oppressive trusts.

It is sought to point out the great dangers of delegating purely government powers to these greedy monopolists, by which they are enabled to organize a money trust, far more tyrannical than all the other combinations now in existence; and by which they absolutely defy the authority that endowed them with corporate life.

The issue between these banks and the people will be joined in the near future, and the greatest struggle

4

the world ever witnessed will take place between the usurping banks on the one hand and the people on the other.

In the nature of things, unjustly acquired power of man over man generally rises to such heights of arrogance, as to eventually create a public opinion that will grind tyranny of every form to atoms, hence, The Coming Battle that will surely take place in the near future and the victory that will be won by justice will be the noblest events in American history.

Wasn't back all that long ago (1967) that Greenspan himself agreed with us CMG.

The essay can be read below.
Gold and Economic Freedom by Alan Greenspan

The bankers went right for the jugular with their central bank and has been bleeding us ever since. It's a good setup for them to create wealth out of thin air, not so good for us because we get to pay both principal and interest on that air. If you or I were to do the same, independent of the banker's control we'd most likely end up bunkies at the crowbar hotel.

Did you notice The Coming Battle was published in 1899?

 

It does seem a little strange LE. Don't get to comfortable though the thread is only on page one.

 

G. Edward Griffin. I haven't gotten around to reading Creature From Jekyll Island yet but I have managed to read The Future Is Calling, it can be found at this LINK

The book itself is in four (PDF) parts but they are fairly short and easy to read.

MEET EDWARD FLAHERTY, CONSPIRACY POO-POOIST
A response to a critic of The Creature from Jekyll Island
© 2004 by G. Edward Griffin

Edward Flaherty is a Ph.D. of Economics who has been critical of my book, The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second look at the Federal Reserve. Periodically I receive inquiries from readers who have visited Flaherty's web site, and they want to know if I can rebut what he says. I put this off for a long time because, first, his critique is lengthy and loaded with minutia that requires considerable time to respond properly and, second, the number of inquiries has been so small as to place the importance of this task far down on my list of priorities. Nevertheless, whenever I get an inquiry, I dread that my reader may think that a lack of response is a sign of not being able to defend my work; so, at last, I decided to step up to the plate and swing at the ball that Flaherty has thrown in my direction.

The essence of Flaherty's critique is that anyone who opposes the Federal Reserve must be some kind of a kook, totally lacking in scholarship. He lumps all Fed critics together, those who bring scholarship to the topic as well as those who do not, and the mixture tends to discredit everyone. It is an old tactic of dumping garbage into the grocery bag so that it all smells like garbage and is rejected in total.

On September 5, 2004, I received an email from a reader who had compared comments made in my recorded lecture with what Flaherty's web site says and asked for clarification. What follows is his inquiry with my reply embedded at appropriate locations.

My reader begins by quoting from my recorded lecture, followed by a quote from Eustace Mullins:

My lecture: I came to the conclusion that the Federal Reserve needed to be abolished for seven reasons. I’d like to read them to you now just so that you get an idea of where I’m coming from, as they say. I put these into the most concise phrasing that I can to make them somewhat shocking so that, hopefully, you’ll remember them:

1. The Fed is incapable of accomplishing its stated objectives.

2. It is a cartel operating against the public interest.

3. It is the supreme instrument of usury.

4. It generates our most unfair tax through inflation and bailouts.

5. It encourages war.

6. It destabilizes the economy.

7. It discourages private capital formation.

Eustace Mullins, Secrets of the Federal Reserve: “...the increase in the assets of the Federal Reserve banks from 143 million dollars in 1913 to 45 BILLION dollars in 1949 went directly to the private stockholders of the [federal reserve] banks.”

My reply: I stand firmly behind my seven points but I do not agree with Mullins on this. Please do not lump my work with other writers. Flaherty does this a lot. Guilt by association is a ploy that must be challenged and rejected.

Flaherty: It would be a mistake to examine these conspiracy theories....

My reply: Stop right there. There is nothing about my work that merits being classified as a conspiracy theory. In modern context, it is customary to associate the phrase “conspiracy theory” with those who are intellectually handicapped or ill informed. Using emotionally loaded words and phrases to discredit the work of others is to be rejected. If I am to be called a conspiracy theorist, then Flaherty cannot object if I were to call him a conspiracy poo-pooist. The later group is a ridiculous bunch, indeed, in view of the fact that conspiracies are so common throughout history. Very few major events of the past have occurred in the absence of conspiracies. To think that our modern age must be an exception is not rational. Facts are either true or false. If we disagree with a fact, our job is to explain why, not to use emotionally-loaded labels to discredit those who disagree with us.

Quote taken from The Coming Battle.

 

No, but it has generated some very great suffering on the whole of mankind and some very great windfalls for a very small percentage of men.

Besides CMG, fascism, nazism, and communism has never ended, slavery is still practiced in many parts of the world. And also almost as if by some strange coincidence these ideologies were encouraged and financed by the organized money power. As well as liberalism, enviromentalism, modernism, and now globalism.

People that are balkanized are easier to manipulate (loot) and control with a police state and troops.

 

I never doubted that for a moment CMG.

I would hope though that some small measure of relief from manipulation could be gained by the people knowing who the manipulators are and how they manipulate. Our founding fathers knew of the organized money power and the ways and means of their operations and chose to do something about it to better mankind's condition and provide a haven of liberty from this very type of tyranny we seem to be content to live under and even trust and obey today.

 

Okay, I see it was Rufus that brought up this old thread, whew, for a minute there I thought Cisco was posting under my screen name again.:laugh:
