BANKING POWERS

lincolnThe prophetic words of our greatest President, Abraham Lincoln,  have been fulfilled:

The money powers prey on the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. The banking powers are more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy.They denounce as public enemies all who question their methods or throw light upon their crimes.  I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me, and the bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe.

As a most undesirable consequence of the war, corporations have been enthroned, and an era of corruption in high places will follow. 

The money power will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, and the Republic is destroyed.”

– Abraham Lincoln, United States President, 1860 – 1865
