President Lincoln is best known for his Gettysburg Address when on November 19, 1863, Lincoln decreed “…that we highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

The freedom President Lincoln referred to was monetary freedom. He fought the Civil War with Greenbacks, money minted by Congress, in accordance with Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, but he could not finish the war without a second round of funding, which Congress refused to authorize. As a result, President Lincoln had no option but to borrow from the banks who purchased Congressional compliance, forcing America, once again, to become a nation enslaved by predatory banks — the borrower, a slave to the lender.

President Lincoln clarified his position in 1865 with his Monetary Policy speech in which he said the following, “There is no greater imperative for government than the duty it owes its people to furnish them with a sound and uniform currency to protect the wages of labor against vicious [bank-owned inflationary] currency.”

Today’s Federal Reserve Bank System is precisely the “vicious currency” that President Lincoln warned against. It’s a system designed to subvert families, freedom and free markets through secrecy, subjectivity, and sly policy.
