Reality: How America Lost Its Independence in 1913
July 4, 1776 was a historic moment in American history. It was the beginning of breaking free of global tyranny and establishing the right to be a free and independent nation. The “Declaration of Independence” marked a triumphant movement to fight against British rule and establish America’s own identity.
The United States Declaration of Independence is an act of the Second Continental Congress, adopted on July 4, 1776, which declared that the Thirteen Colonies in North America were “Free and Independent States” and that “all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved.” The document, formally entitled The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,[1] explained the justifications for separation from the British crown, and was an expansion of Richard Henry Lee’s Resolution (passed by Congress on July 2), which first proclaimed independence. An engrossed copy of the Declaration was signed by most of the delegates on August 2 and is now encased in argon[2] and on display in the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington, D.C.
The Declaration is considered to be the founding document of the United States of America, where July 4 is celebrated as Independence Day and the nation’s birthday. At the time the Declaration was issued, the American colonies were “united” in declaring their independence from Great Britain. John Hancock, as the elected President of Congress, was the only person to sign the Declaration of Independence on July 4th. It was not until the following month on August 2nd that the remaining 55 other delegates began to sign the document.[3]
US President Abraham Lincoln succinctly explained the central importance of the Declaration to American history in his Gettysburg Address of 1863:
“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”
Some 137 years later, America’s path to a free and prosperous nation would come to an abrupt end with the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. The Federal Reserve, America’s “Central Bank”, is like all others, a debt and enslavement machine. Our currency, the “American Dollar”, is backed by almost — Nothing. The primary backer of our currency is our perception, which has been manipulated through clever disguises, lies and slick-willy types to sell the public on a mass-scale game of Monopoly. Our currency is mostly created “out of thin air” by our government and the big banks which control our nation’s money supply.
The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was created in secret and packaged as a “solution” to aid our country’s businesses and citizens with a “sound” and “stable” currency platform to help grow our nation and foster new possibilities in America. Instead, it would soon be revealed that the Federal Reserve Act was just that — An “Act”. With the Great Depression in 1930, America received its first taste of the ineffectiveness and uselessness of the Federal Reserve.
Americans lost their homes, lives and freedom, all while greedy bankers and families profited from great hardship and setbacks. The reality is that America was “sold out” by President Woodrow Wilson to the interests of greedy families (Rothchilds, Rockefellers, etc.) in order to establish their long-term goal of world government and global enslavement to a phony and worthless currency.
America’s history as a once free nation should be a wake up call for everyone. Freedom is only an illusion in America today. When power and control falls into the wrong hands, many people will suffer as a result. This couldn’t be more true than the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. We are mostly a nation of slaves bound and controlled by money. The slave owners are the very people who enacted the Federal Reserve and control the nation’s banks and currency.
Can America become a free nation again? Yes, but not without bloodshed. The America we know of today is not much different than when it was controlled by the British prior to 1776. To regain control of our country, we must look to the past for inspiration and truth. In life, there are people who will stop at nothing to control the world. They are not satisfied with all their perceived wealth. The greatest power in humanity is the control of human life.
Will you stand for yourself and freedom, or accept a repeat of history?
The Big Banks Want To Know: ‘Are We Really Crooks’?
Much to my surprise, my recent entry about big banks being big crooks has captured a lot of interest — Primarily from the banks themselves! Flagstar, Washington Mutual and others have all read my thoughts about their fraudulent ways over the years (maybe they even watched the Money Masters video?)
Anytime I think about the history of the banking cartel, I am left numbed and speechless. How can Americans accept the fact that their money is worthless? That their banks can, on a whim, magically add new money to their deposits with a keystroke? How do we stand by accepting what we’re told in the mainstream media about “inflation” and “recessions”?
I wonder what would happen if most of America withdrew its money from the big banks? Do you think that would get their attention? Probably not, because they’d magically replace the dwindling deposits with more Monopoly money.
Are you convinced yet that big banks are crooks and slave owners in America? Want to know where the real power in phony money comes from? You. Your perception of money as a valuable instrument is what keeps the money myth engine humming. At the end of the day, the trillions of dollars that are circulating throughout America and the world are meaningless. The billionaires of the world? They’re simply holders of a bunch of paper bills. Their wealth is meaningless. Really.
Have you started asking yourself questions yet? I hope so. Question. Demand the truth.
Are Most Bank Foreclosures Illegal and Without Merit?
The “Credit River Decision” of 1968 (I’ve blogged about it here) raises an important question today about bank loans and foreclosures: Are they illegal and without merit?
The Federal Reserve Act of 1918 hasn’t changed much since its inception. Banks are still creating money from nothing. That’s right. Nothing. New money and credit is created by simply adding it to their books. Sounds too good to be true, right? It’s not.
Like all things in modern day life, when you dissect the meaning and fine print, you soon discover that many things are just a Monopoly game. They’re made up. Realistically, you don’t even need to research this stuff. If you think hard enough, you’ll see it all for yourself. For those who say otherwise about these things, they are either uninformed or are protecting the interests of those they serve.
The banking cartel are not in the business of being your friend. They are in the business of maintaining their monopoly over the people and society. It’s time to ask questions, America. Do you want freedom or slavery? It’s your choice.
Big Banks: Biggest Crooks Ever?
Are major banks such as Bank of America, J.P. Morgan Chase, HSBC, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Washington Mutual and others ‘legalized crooks’? Depending upon who you ask, the right answer would be a resounding “YES!”. Since their very existence, big banks have been committing fraudulent practices without any consequences for decades.
From the Great Depression to the current credit crunch, big banks have been responsible for many of America’s hardships.
Let the following video be a reminder of how banks function and operate. Once America is “mad as hell,” Americans will no longer accept the myth of the bank. Freedom is power, if you so desire it.
Update: Wells Fargo, J.P. Morgan Chase, Credit Suisse, Flagstar, Huntington and several other large banks have all made multiple visits to this post. It’s pretty ironic that these banks are flocking in so many numbers to read the truth about their fraudulent and unconstituional practices.
I would suggest they also read these other recent posts about their fraudulent industry: Are Most Bank Foreclosures Illegal and Without Merit? and Money: Made from “Thin Air” (The Credit River Decision).
Update: The big banks are now inviting all of their industry friends via LinkedIn to read this entry. While they’re at it, they should read this one, too! More are on the way. I guess they really care about their reputation as ‘crooks’ and ‘thieves’. They’ve surely earned it!
Ron Paul: Campaign for Liberty
Former presidential candidate Ron Paul is a man to love, admire and respect. For decades, Paul has been the most vocal supporter of sound money management, small government and freedom in America. While the American people did not favor his platform for creating a new America, Paul is charging forward with a new revolution to ensure America’s future.
Paul sent this e-mail today and I thought I’d share it with others. If you care about America’s future, read on.

Over the past 17 months you and I delivered a message of freedom, the likes of which American politics has not seen in decades. With the primary season now over, the presidential campaign has come to an end. But the Revolution has only begun.
Today I am happy to announce the official launch of the Ron Paul Campaign for Liberty. Please visit our new website and join us: http://www.campaignforliberty.com
Over the next few months I will be developing a program, assembling a team, and announcing new and exciting projects. We will have a permanent presence on the American political landscape. That I promise you.
Right now, I need your patience and support. I want the Campaign for Liberty to be a grassroots campaign; so your energy, your creativity, your feedback, and your participation are essential.
Together, we will educate our fellow Americans in freedom, sound money, non-interventionism, and free markets. We will write commentaries and broadcast videos on the news of the day. And I’ll work with friends whom I respect to design materials for homeschoolers.
Politically, we will expand the great work of our precinct leader program. We will make our presence felt at every level of government. We will keep an eye on Congress, and lobby against legislation that threatens us. And we will identify and support candidates who champion our great ideas.
“In the final analysis,” I wrote in my new book The Revolution: A Manifesto, “the last line of defense in support of freedom and the Constitution consists of the people themselves. If the people want to be free, if they want to lift themselves out from underneath a state apparatus that threatens their liberties, squanders their resources on needless wars, destroys the value of their dollar, and spews forth endless propaganda about how indispensable it is and how lost we would all be without it, there is no force that can stop them.”
Our time has come to act on these words.
May future generations look back on our work and say that these were men and women who, in a moment of great crisis, stood up to their politicians, the opinion-makers, and the establishment, and saved their country.
For liberty,
Ron Paul
P.S. Please join me. Go to our website, www.campaignforliberty.com, and become a member of the Campaign for Liberty. Our goal is 100,000 members by September. Can we reach it?
