“’The modern banking system manufactures
money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece
of sleight of hand that was ever invented.
Banking was conceived in iniquity and born in sin.
Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power
to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough
money to buy it back again...
Take this great power away from them and all great fortunes
like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for then this
would be a better and happier world to live in. But if you want to continue
to be slaves of the banks and pay the cost of your own slavery, then
let bankers continue to create money and control credit’.”
Sir Josiah Stamp Director, Bank of England 1928-1941
