Here is one of the best explanations of how they started and how we got to today's dystopian bankers' world, where we all work at the end of the day for the same banking families.
Here are some related quotes:
From Thomas Jefferson
“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks…will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered…. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”
- Thomas Jefferson in the debate over the Re-charter of the Bank Bill (1809)
From the bankers themselves:
“The bank hath benefit of interest on all moneys which it creates out of nothing.”
- William Paterson, founder of the Bank of England in 1694, then a privately owned bank“Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who writes the laws.”
- Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812), founder of the House of Rothschild.
