Part I - INTRODUCTION

We have lived so long under the protection of our Constitution, taking for
granted its blessings of liberty, that we have become deaf to the prospect of
tyranny.

The Framers of our Constitution experienced the bitterness of tyranny.  They
were choice men, with vast experience, insight and inspiration.  They hoped to
design the Constitution to prevent tyranny from ever striking again.  Many days
they worked, growing weary and tired.  About to abandon their efforts, Ben
Franklin stood before them.  Ben was eighty years old at the time, and felt he
needed to remind them of their divine mission.

"We have all felt the presence of a supreme being while engaged in this great
struggle.  To Him, we owe this opportunity to consult in peace, and to
establish the future happiness of this nation.  Have we forgotten this powerful
friend?  Do we feel we no longer need His assistance?  I have lived a long
time, and the longer I live, the more convinced I am, that God governs in the
affairs of man.  If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, how
can an empire rise without His aid?"

This is the spirit of the men who established America.  America is great
because she is good.  If America ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.
America was founded as a land of God, a Christian land.  God has kept this
great nation in the hollow of His hand.  He has promised protection if we will
but serve Him.  The world will always see those who do not care about, or
believe in God or His promises.  The selfish, greedy, the powerseekers, care
only for the desires of their heart.  We have seen their desires come before
all things.  We expect that of them.  We who have seen this country's greatness
and see God's hand in it, must not be complacent and feel that all is well,
lulling ourselves into a false sense of security.

BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 1812 AND 1830, THERE EXISTED THE OLD BANK OF THE UNITED
STATES.  It was an attempt, by the power seekers at that time, to gain control
of the United States through their control of a central bank.

President Jackson became aware of their activities and abolished the bank.  He
left us with a great warning.
  
  "This bold effort the present bank made to control the government, the
  distress it wantonly produced, are but premonitions of the fate that
  awaits the American people should they be deluded into a perpetuation
  of this institution or another like it."

America heeded President Jackson's warning for the remainder of the century.
Sadly, the tide began to turn about 1902.  It was at this time that German
banker, Paul Warburg, came to the United States and linked up with America's
money barons:  Rockefeller, Morgan, and Baurch.  Warburg had seen the profit to
be made in central banking in Europe and wanted to open a branch and begin
implementing those banking principles in the United States.  Morgan,
Rockefeller and Baurch were monopolists, believers in big business,
international business.  They believed in forming a monopoly and letting
society work for them.  Rockefeller once said: "COMPETITION IS A SIN."  These
men were wealthy, powerful, and definitely NOT free enterprise advocates.

Shortly after Warburg arrived in 1902, he began lecturing and distributing
pamphlets on the need for a central banking system in America.

At about the same time, J. Pierpont Morgan began to spread rumors about the
insolvency of the Trust Company.

This so alarmed the citizens of the country that they began to run to the banks
and withdraw their savings.  This caused what came to be known as the Panic of
1907.  It was pre-planned and triggered by these two men.  They wanted a
central bank, so they manipulated to get one.

The Panic was later investigated.  With their friend, Senator Nelson Aldrich,
heading the investigation, their dream would surely come true.  After all,
Aldrich had an international banker in the family!  His son-in-law was John D.
Rockefeller.  Senator Aldrich spent two years in Europe studying central
banking techniques.  When he returned to the United States, he met secretly
with Warburg and top representatives of the Morgan and Rockefeller interests.
It was at this time they planned the formulation of America's first central
bank.

President Jackson's nightmare had returned.  It just had a new name!

It came to be known as the FEDERAL RESERVE.
