The
Declaration of Independence of England's American colonies expresses a political principle that is as radical today as it was in 1776. The new nation's Constitution with its first ten amendments, The Bill of Rights, was intended to preserve this principle --
WE hold these Truths to be self-evident: That all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness...
Government was intended to be the servant of We the People of the United States, not the reverse. When any government (central, state, or local) becomes a "business partner" of banks, corporations, and other private monetary institutions, the reverse occurs. It is unfortunate that the foresight of Jefferson and others with respect to central banking was not more widely appreciated.
One of the educational aims of this web site is to provide details of the bankers' private monetary system and how, in 1913, it became the policy of the United States government.
