LINCOLN'S "GREENBACKS" (AND WHY THAT KILLED HIM)
|
|
================================================
|
|
|
|
Writes Dr. R.E. Search in *Lincoln: Money Martyred* (Omni
|
|
Publications, PO Box 900566, Palmdale, CA 93590), "The struggle
|
|
that was to rid the country of human slavery of the black race,
|
|
however, was also to fasten upon the whole nation an economic or
|
|
money slavery, which has endured to the present time..."
|
|
|
|
Abraham Lincoln and his Treasury Secretary, Salmon P. Chase
|
|
(Chase Bank later named after him) went to the New York bankers
|
|
"and applied for loans to the Government to carry on the [Civil]
|
|
war; the bankers replying, 'Well, war is a hazardous business,
|
|
but we can let you have it [the loans] at from 24 percent to 36
|
|
percent.'" (Dr. R.E. Search)
|
|
|
|
Appleton Cyclopedia (1861), page 296, states: "The money kings
|
|
wanted 24 percent to 36 percent interest for loans to our
|
|
government to conduct the Civil War." (qtd. in Search's book)
|
|
|
|
President Lincoln and Secretary Chase were outraged at the
|
|
usurious interest, and refused the offer.
|
|
|
|
Lincoln wrote to an old friend, Colonel Dick Taylor in Chicago,
|
|
and asked for advice. His friend told him to "get Congress to
|
|
pass a bill authorizing the printing of full legal tender
|
|
treasury notes or greenbacks." (qtd. in Search's book)
|
|
|
|
60 million dollars of full legal tender greenbacks were issued.
|
|
"All were taken at par and never appreciably fell below par at
|
|
any time..." (Dr. R.E. Search)
|
|
|
|
Lincoln referred to these greenbacks as "the greatest blessing
|
|
the people of this Republic [have] ever had." (qtd. in Search's
|
|
book)
|
|
|
|
But as soon as Lincoln began issuing the greenbacks, "the bankers
|
|
and money changers saw that unless they could stop that sort of
|
|
thing they were 'sunk' as far as ever being able to issue money
|
|
again themselves." (Dr. R.E. Search)
|
|
|
|
The banksters "had been able to fool and hoodwink England, and
|
|
keep her in bondage for 168 years, and they wanted very much to
|
|
continue, and to add the balance of the world to their conquest;
|
|
making the people everywhere economic serfs, working for them."
|
|
(ibid.)
|
|
|
|
>From the London Times:
|
|
|
|
If this mischievous financial policy [greenbacks]... should
|
|
become endurated down to a fixture, then that government
|
|
will furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off
|
|
its debts and be without debts. It will have all the money
|
|
necessary to carry on its commerce. It will become
|
|
prosperous beyond precedent in the history of the world.
|
|
The brains and wealth of all countries will go to North
|
|
America. That government must be destroyed or it will
|
|
destroy every monarchy on the globe. [qtd. in Search's
|
|
book]
|
|
|
|
The Bank of England/Rothschilds (do not be deceived by name,
|
|
"Bank of England"; Bank of England was/is a *private* bank)
|
|
issued, and distributed to American banksters, the following
|
|
document, quoted in part below:
|
|
|
|
The Hazard Circular
|
|
|
|
Slavery is likely to be abolished by the war power, and
|
|
chattel slavery abolished. This, I and my European friends
|
|
are in favor of, for slavery is but the *owning of labor*,
|
|
and carries with it the *care of labor*, while the European
|
|
plan, led on by England, is that capital shall control
|
|
labor by controlling wages.
|
|
|
|
The great debt that capitalists will see to it is made out
|
|
of the [Civil] war must be used to control the value of
|
|
money. To accomplish this, the Government bonds must be
|
|
used as a banking basis.
|
|
|
|
We are now waiting for the Secretary of the Treasury of the
|
|
United States to make this recommendation. It will not do
|
|
to allow greenbacks, as they are called, to circulate as
|
|
money any length of time, as we cannot control that, but we
|
|
can control the bonds and through them the bank issues.
|
|
[qtd. in Dr. Search's book]
|
|
|
|
SLAVERY IS BUT THE OWNING OF LABOR, AND CARRIES WITH IT THE CARE
|
|
OF LABOR. A "new, improved system" of slavery was being born.
|
|
Gustavus Myers (a "leftist") corroborates this in his book,
|
|
*History of the Great American Fortunes*: "...chattel slavery
|
|
could not compete in efficiency with white labor... more money
|
|
could be made from the white laborer, for whom no responsibility
|
|
of shelter, clothing, food and attendance had to be assumed than
|
|
from the Negro slave, whose sickness, disability or death
|
|
entailed direct financial loss."
|
|
|
|
"The perfect slave thinks he's free." That was the "new,
|
|
improved system" for exploiting labor. (Currently, a further
|
|
refinement is the use of temporary labor.)
|
|
|
|
Abraham Lincoln was "the man who first proved that government
|
|
could issue its own paper money, legally, honorably, and
|
|
rightfully, and make it full legal tender for all debts, both
|
|
public and private..." Was Lincoln "a dangerous man from the
|
|
[bankers] point of view? Could they have continued their
|
|
knavery, trickery, bribery, and destructive work... if Lincoln
|
|
had lived?" (Dr. R.E. Search)
