A History Lesson Which Applies
Today! (Especially for DaCivNats who believe in DaMagicDirtTheory and other
myths - because I was there myself - been there, done that!)
Defense attorney and constitutional scholar John
Remington Graham maintains that despite being two separate countries with
different cultures and legislative interests, North and South had been held
together by statesmen effecting compromises. Before
differing interests could break them apart, hatred had to be fomented between
North and South. He states his position clearly: “The
American Civil War likewise would not have hapened if it had not been planned
and fomented.”
Graham says that
bankers, principally Rothschilds and Morgans, wanted a massive war that would
greatly expand US national debt. By acquiring this debt and having legislation
passed that would designate the debt as reserves for the issuence of money and
credit, the banks would be able to use their power to expand or contract the
supply of money and credit to control government and rule the country. As the quote attributed to Mayer Amschel Rothschild puts
it, “Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes it’s
laws.” Graham concludes that “the most important consequence of the
American civil war was loss of the monetary independence of the United States.
And that, as a practical matter, was also loss of political independence behind
a facade of ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy.’”
To
create the hatred necessary for war, the bankers financed John Brown’s Harper’s
Ferry raid, the marketing of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, the 11-year long court case of
Dred Scott, and a variety of other machinations that served to brew hatred
awaiting a catalyst to set off war. Graham does
not identify the catalyst. He argues correctly that it was not slavery and
incorrectly that it was not the Morrill Tariff.
Most
of his mongraph, Blood Money: The Civil War and the Federal
Reserve ( turningthetidepublishing.com ),
is about the bankers and their money trust. Graham traces step by step the
formation of their power over the United States right through the creation of
the Federal Reserve. Graham maintains, as did
William Blackstone, that the creation of money is properly a sovereign power of
the state, not the act of a private interest as it is in the case of the
Federal Reserve.
The
new system of national banks created on the war debt permitted banks to make
loans at interest on the basis of the bonds as reserves while simultaneously
collecting interest on the bonds. The currency issued by state chartered banks
was driven out of circulation.
Graham
draws on the writings, speeches, and warnings of US Representative Charles A.
Lindbergh, the father of the famous aviator, and J. B. Jones to make his case.
Himself a
northerner, Graham sees the South as the superior civilization, as it was based
in religion, morality, and chivalry in contrast to the money-grubbing North
with its hidden agendas. The abolitionist movement was far stronger in the
South than in the North. Graham reports that in 1832 the Virginia House of
Delegates passed a resolution which lamented “the great evils of arising from
the condition of the colored population of the commonwealth.”
The problem with freeing
the slaves was what would become of them. On the plantations they had food,
housing, and medical care. If evicted, there were no welfare programs, Social
Security or Medicare. To convert them into a free work force would
require care and time. No one knew what to do. Lincoln’s solution was to
send the blacks out of the country. After the South was destroyed by war,
estimates are that one-fourth of the blacks died of starvation and exposure.
The North was more
business-like in its approach. The North wanted the slaves as wage labor
that did not have to be taken care of in old age, as the plantation owner had
do. Unlike the plantation,
once the northern industrialists used up a person, the person could be
discharged.
Being a civilized
people, the southern people, Graham writes, had no idea of the barbarity of the
North and “were wholly unprepared to resist the juggernaut which had been
ruthlessly bought to march against them.”
The war
gave the bankers what they wanted. Moving on with his story of the development
of their power, Graham explains how the Financial Panic of 1907 was
orchestrated in order to set up Congress for the Federal Reserve Act prepared
by a handful of bankers and their agents at Jekyll Island.
Graham provides reform measures and a legal basis for
getting rid of the Federal Reserve, which has done the United States so much
damage, and for restoring the coinage of money to the government of the people.
Seldom in 100 pages counting notes has
there been so much information on how we have been deceived and used and how we
can retrieve our fate from the hands of bankers. Graham’s monograph, in a real
free society in which all explanations were not controlled by the
establishment, would become the catalyst for a new investigation of the War of
Northern Aggression and its consequences.
