How Wall Street Fleeces America Quotes

“In his 1966 book, Tragedy and Hope, Professor Carroll Quigley said: [T]he powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences.1 Their scheme is close to fulfillment unless public outrage stops them. They plan global control of money, credit and debt to be able to dominate economies, politics, commerce, and military adventures, so that these might be conducted in a way that benefits them advantageously. In fact, the power to create money can build or destroy nations. In private hands, it goes to the root of today’s problems.”

“The US Federal Reserve, Bank of England, Bank of Japan and European Central Bank (for the 12 euro currency countries) have powers beyond what most people imagine. As a result, they and the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) control financial conditions everywhere in an increasingly borderless world where significant economic events in one nation affect others for better or worse. Based in Basle, Switzerland, BIS is the central banker for central bankers, a banking boss of bosses accountable to no government. Moreover, it’s privately owned by its members, the most powerful ones having most influence. Along with dominant central banks, financial elitists established it to control world economies globally, ideally with a single currency.”
