OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY AND HOW BANKERS USE IT

May 11, 2026 LRS Leave a comment

A quote from Chapter One of the book by Judge Louis D. Brandeis, published in 1913 “OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY AND HOW BANKERS US IT”

President Wilson, before he was President, said in 1911:

“The great monopoly in this country is the money monopoly. So long as it exists our old variety and freedom and individual energy of development are out of the question. A great industrial nation is controlled by it’s 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, who, even if their actions be honest and intended for the public interest, are necessarily concentrated upon the great undertakings in which their own money in involved and who, necessarily, by every reason of their own limiations, chill and check and destroy genuine economic freedom. This is the greatest question of all: and to this, statesmen must address themselves with an earnest determination to serve the long future and true liberties of men.”

In short, the Jewish Banking Establishment took over the United States money supply with the passage of the FEDERAL RESERVE ACT in 1913.

The Federal Reserve Act (ch. 6, 38 Stat. 251, enacted December 23, 1913, 12 U.S.C. ch.3) is an Act of Congress that created and set up the Federal Reserve System, the PRIVATE BANK of the United States of America, and granted it the legal authority to issue Federal Reserve Notes (now commonly known as the U.S. Dollar) and Federal Reserve Bank Notes as legal tender.

The Act was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson.

(JP Morgan had arranged the assassination of ALL of the opponents of the Federal Reserve Act when he had his ship, THE TITANIC, crashed and sunk. See previous post: https://lawrencerspencer.com/2012/04/06/titanic-assassination-by-sinking/

Candide: or, The Optimist (1762)It begins with a young man, Candide, who is living a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with Leibnizian optimism (or simply “optimism”) by his mentor, Professor Pangloss. The work describes the abrupt cessation of this lifestyle, followed by Candide’s slow, painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world. Voltaire concludes with Candide, if not rejecting optimism outright, advocating a deeply practical precept, “we must cultivate our garden”, in lieu of the Leibnizian mantra of Pangloss, “all is for the best” in the “best of all possible worlds”.

Candide is characterised by its sarcastic tone as well as by its erratic, fantastical and fast-moving plot. A picaresque novel with a story similar to that of a more serious Bildungsroman, it parodies many adventure and romance clichés, the struggles of which are caricatured in a tone that is mordantly matter-of-fact. Still, the events discussed are often based on historical happenings, such as the Seven Years’ War and the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. As philosophers of Voltaire’s day contended with the problem of evil, so too does Candide in this short novel, albeit more directly and humorously. Voltaire ridicules religion, theologians, governments, armies, philosophies, and philosophers through allegory; most conspicuously, he assaults Leibniz and his optimism.

François-Marie Arouet (French: 21 November 1694 – 30 May 1778), known by his nom de plume Voltaire, was a French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher famous for his wit, his attacks on the established Catholic Church, and his advocacy of freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and separation of church and state. Voltaire was a versatile writer, producing works in almost every literary form, including plays, poems, novels, essays, and historical and scientific works. He wrote more than 20,000 letters and more than 2,000 books and pamphlets. He was an outspoken advocate of several liberties, despite the risk this placed him in under the strict censorship laws of the time. As a satirical polemicist, he frequently made use of his works to criticize intolerance, religious dogma, and the French institutions of his day.
