HOW SPOT-ON IS THIS?
Quote of the Week
‘I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.’
Thomas Jefferson 1802
Oh oh, now this has become reality.
It reminds me Goethe’s quote again:
that all intelligent thoughts have already been thought”…, but does this never change anything? Aren’t we able to learn or to anticipate great bullshit driving people into desaster? I wonder,
thanks for this intelligent and still so valid quote
