to say to their parents, 'Sorry, I can't help you. For I have vowed to give to God what I would have
given to you.' In this way, you let them disregard their needy parents. And so you cancel the word
of God in order to hand down your own tradition. And this is only one example among many others."

The jurists and politicians in America have done the same thing to the U.S. Constitution that the
Jewish people did to the Law Yahweh delivered to Moses. The Constitution has been redefined to
mean something quite different from the intent of the authors. Just as in the case of the Israelites, a
charade has been carried on as dishonest men pretend to respect, defend, and abide by the
Constitution. To state the matter plainly, America’s politicians and the media continually speak of
the United States as a Constitutional Republic where the citizens are empowered through the
exercise of democratic principles, while in reality the government operates as a Corporate Fascist
state.

If you would walk in truth, you must abandon your pleasant illusions. America never attained to the
vision that her founding fathers set forth. She was quickly corrupted by special interests. Her power
and authority were usurped by those who had the coin to purchase influence. The year after Thomas
Jefferson wrote his letter to John Taylor, he corresponded with Dr. Josephus B. Stuart. In that writing
Jefferson stated, “The bank mania is one of the most threatening of these imitations. It is raising up
a moneyed aristocracy in our country which has already set the government at defiance, and
although forced at length to yield a little on this first essay of their strength, their principles are
unyielded and unyielding.”

Jefferson understood the threat to a government “of the people, by the people, and for the people.”
It was the financial powers, the bankers and industrialists of the world. They would persist until they
had full control of the government, and the democratic process was nothing more than an empty
exercise, an illusion of democratic government which the people continued to carry out, despite the
fact that the citizens no longer had any real control.

It took time for the bankers to achieve complete power over the American government. Twice in the
first century of America’s existence, a national bank was set up which began to exert an unwarranted
control over American society and government. Twice, the national bank was closed down as the
people and their elected officials perceived the bank’s threat to the American republic. The First
Bank of the United States was largely brought about through the influence of Alexander Hamilton,
the first Secretary of the Treasury during George Washington’s Presidency. It was established in
1791, in the third year of the United State’s existence. Many people realized the threat such an
institution represented to the liberties of the citizens and to the democratic process. William Pitt, then
Prime Minister of England, stated, “Let the American people go into their debt-funding schemes and
banking systems, and from that hour their boasted independence will be a mere phantom.”

On February 25, 1791 President George Washington signed the bank bill into law, establishing the
First Bank of the United States (BUS). The charter for the bank was for twenty years. In 1811, when
Congress had to vote on whether to renew the bank’s charter, the vote to renew failed by a single
vote. For the next five years the United States existed without a central bank. In 1816 the Second
Bank of the United States (SBUS) was voted into existence by Congress and signed into law by
