Fiat Empire: Why the Federal Reserve Violates the U.S. Constitution (2007)
Why the Federal Reserve Violates the U.S. Constitution
Date Added: 12 years ago.
Documentary Description
FIAT EMPIRE
Are you aware that the U.S. Constitution states that only Congress has the authority to create money; this money must be backed by gold and silver; and "bills of credit," also known as Federal Reserve Notes, are illegal under Article I? Our government is violating all of these stipulations at this time? The Federal Reserve System is a quasi-private, government-sanctioned banking CARTEL that issues "bills of credit" on behalf of Congress. This banking system, in violation of the U.S. Constitution, creates endless amounts of paper currency out of thin air and then lends it to the government creating the national debt. Behind-the-scenes planners of the Federal Reserve System knew from day-one that they would have to lobby to instate an income tax to ensure interest payments on the national debt, thus the Fed and the Income Tax were both created in the same year, 1913.
Most citizens aren't aware that every dollar that comes into existence does so as a dollar of debt because the entire money supply of the United States is no longer backed by gold or silver, but DEBT. Is it any wonder we are now in a "credit crises"? We now live in a nation so overwhelmed by public and private debt, it will be impossible to pay it all off.
Due to the mathematics of principle and interest creation under "fractional reserve banking" as codified and practiced by the Federal Reserve System, the U.S. monetary system is the largest ponzi scheme in history, now well over $100 trillion dollars . . . and growing. Why else is "globalization" necessary, than to bring in fresh money?!
Watch this award-winning film to find out why some feel the Federal Reserve's practices of facilitating fiat money are a violation of the U.S. Constitution and others feel it's simply "a bunch of organized crooks." Find out what fiat money and fractional reserve banking are and why the mainstream media has strict orders to NEVER discuss the mechanics of the banking system -- unless they are prepared to lose their special privileges.
In FIAT EMPIRE you will discover why experts agree the Fed is a banking cartel that provides unjust enrichment mainly for Wall Street bankers, their corporate clients and a Congress that would rather increase the national debt than raise taxes. Find out how the media facilitates the partnership between the Fed and Congress and why it fails to fully disclose what's going on. Lastly, find out how the Federal Reserve Member Banks are owned and controlled by an elite group of insiders that use debt-based, fractional reserve money to fund their agenda of moving the United States further from its founding principles towards endless bailouts, bankruptcy, cultural Marxism and world government.
FIAT EMPIRE is inspired by The Creature from Jekyll Island, a book by well-known author and FREEDOM FORCE founder, G. Edward Griffin and features congressman Ron Paul
Also featured is Dr. Edwin Vieira, Ph.D., J.D. from Harvard (foremost authority on the U.S. Constitution and author of Pieces of Eight and Consitutional Homeland Security). Dr. Vieira and the various experts in FIAT EMPIRE discuss the Fed in connection with long-term studies which indicate that the Federal Reserve System encourages war, destabilizes the economy, generates inflation (a hidden tax) and is the supreme instrument of unjust enrichment for a select group of insiders. Dr. Theodore Baehr (founder of MOVIEGUIDE® and Chairman of the Christian Film & Television Commission) rounds out the discussion by addressing the relationship between the mainstream media, the Fed and the government. Often delving into why the mainstream media only broadcasts a narrow spectrum of issues, FIAT EMPIRE explains why new voices and third-party candidates are often marginalized, if not suppressed entirely from the public discourse.
The Gross National Debt
Bear in mind that twice before in U.S. history, the American People voted down central banks similar to the Federal Reserve System. We did it then, we can do it again. We can do it again if we are able to explain to enough people HOW fiat and fractional money cause, not only excessive national debt, but mortgage and credit card debt. Increasing numbers feel this debt could destroy the U.S. dollar and crash the World economy beyond repair -- unless the profligate oligarchy that's now trying to cease power is brought under Constitutional control.
FIAT EMPIRE defines the gateway problem to all other economic problems and proposes a number of solutions to bring a Constitutional monetary system back to the United States and general welfare to you and all citizens.

Your purchase of FIAT EMPIRE is helping us produce ORIGINAL INTENT, our next documentary on the Constitution. It's amazing how many Americans complain about their country and government yet do nothing about it. It's amazing how often wealthy businessmen, celebrities, investors, heirs and other people of means say no, or just donate a token sum so they won't look too bad. Why is this? How can Americans, who have benefited the most, go out and run up a $500 dinner tab or buy a $50,000 automobile, yet pass on donating even $100 to help produce a documentary that addresses the very Constitution their way of life depends on? How can people spend millions on real estate, yachts, jewelry, antiques, furniture, clothing, shoes, travel and endless vacations -- yet when asked to donate even $5,000 to help produce a movie on the Constitution, fail to step up to the plate? Do such people really deserve to call themselves American Citizens?
Watch FIAT EMPIRE and hopefully it will re-align your priorities (if you are one of the people described above). Then donate for ORIGINAL INTENT and refer this page to your family, friends and associates that claim they are concerned about their country. It's probably up to you, because you can be sure the Wolf Blitzers and the Bill O'Reillys of the mainstream media won't be helping out much. Consider these things.

FADE IN TITLE:
"But they that will be rich, fall into temptation, and a
snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown
men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is
the root of all evil. . ." -- I Timothy 6
FADE OUT:
EXT. STREETS, SHOPPING MALLS, PUBLIC PLACES
We see a montage of our busy civilization. People hustling
all over the place. Commerce taking place. Life proceeding
somehow -- even though a dangerous creature lurks in the
land.
NARRATOR
When you suggest to people that
their money should be gold or
silver coin, as it says in the
Constitution, they sometimes stare
at you with a blank expression or
make the most extraordinary
comments. . .
EXT. VARIOUS LOCATIONS
Clips from actual interviews of American citizens where the
following question is asked: Do you feel that our paper
currency should still be backed by gold or silver?
CITIZEN 1
That might have been fine in 1776,
but now our economy is so big,
there would never be enough gold or
silver to go around.
CITIZEN 2
Well, if we still used gold or
silver, how could I do my banking
over the Internet? How could I do
wire-transfers?
CITIZEN 3
If money were still based on coins,
gold OR silver, there's no way
modern society could function. I
mean, how could I use my credit
cards?
CITIZEN 4
WHY would I want to carry all that
change around in my pocket? It's
ridiculous.
The only thing a quarter buys these
days is a piece of bubble gum.
NARRATOR
These statements by everyday
American citizens show that they
are concerned, yet they also show
how little many of us understand
the intentions of the Founding
Fathers. Thomas Jefferson.
INT. GENERAL SHOTS OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTION
CAMERA scans the parched text of the Constitution as the
"voice" of Thomas Jefferson speaks over (VO). Half way
through, we dissolve to Jefferson's words in print.
THOMAS JEFFERSON (VO)
If the American people ever allow
private banks to control their
currency, first by inflation and
then by deflation, the banks and
corporations that will grow up
around them will deprive the people
of all their prosperity until their
children will wake up homeless on
the continent their fathers
conquered. -- Thomas Jefferson.
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. CLOSER ANGLE ON U.S. CONSTITUTION
As narrator continues below, we focus on Article I, Sections
and 10 of the Constitution where the Founders stipulate that
our money should be gold and silver coin. A clearer version
of these lines rises off the Constitution and fills the
screen. These lines are as follows: "The Congress shall have
Power To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of
foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;
No State shall make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a
Tender in Payment of debts."
NARRATOR
So what's going on here? Why does
the Constitution clearly state that
our money shall be coin, yet we are
using government-issued, supposedly
official paper dollar bills known
as Federal Reserve Notes? And we
can't even cash these in for silver
any longer.
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES
As narration above and below continue, CAMERA slowly pans
left from a close up of Thomas Jefferson's face on the
Hundred Dollar Federal Reserve Note (Series 1950) to the
words that say this bill is redeemable in lawful money, that
is, officially-minted United States gold or silver coins.
These words then morph into other words that make no mention
of redeemability as CAMERA slowly pulls back to reveal the
familiar Federal Reserve Note we use today. These newer
bills, no longer backed by silver or gold, show George
Washington, larger than ever, off to the left.
NARRATOR
. . . and why does Thomas
Jefferson, the very man who drafted
the Declaration of Independence and
co-authored the Constitution of the
United States WARN us about banks
AND corporations? Something is off
here! G. Edward Griffin.
EXT. FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM, REGIONAL BANKS
As narrator finishes the above, CAMERA slowly descends on the
words "Federal Reserve" printed on the dollar bill. We then
dissolve to a shot of the actual Federal Reserve Bank in New
York City. As the below narration proceeds, we successively
dissolve to each of the other 11 Federal Reserve Banks around
the country which make up the "system." A title indicating
the city of each branch floats off the screen.
ED GRIFFIN
What is the Federal Reserve System?
The answer may surprise you. It is
not federal and there are no
reserves. Furthermore, the Federal
Reserve Banks are not even banks.
In layman's terms, the Federal
Reserve banks are the banks'
banker. In more accurate technical
terms, the Federal Reserve System
is a quasi-private, governmentsanctioned
banking cartel, which,
as has happened before in this
nation's history, should be
abolished for the following
specific reasons: It is incapable
of accomplishing its stated
objectives; it is a cartel
operating against the public
interest;
it is the instrument of supreme
usury, what some call unjust
enrichment; it generates inflation,
our most unfair tax; it encourages
war; it destabilizes the economy;
and it's an instrument of
totalitarianism.
INT. JAMES McCABE'S OFFICE In an office with hundreds of
books in the background, James McCabe discusses the Federal
Reserve System and what's going on. JAMES McCABE When my
father, Thomas B. McCabe, was chairman of the Federal Reserve
System, the national debt was "only" $255 billion. It's now
over $6.1 trillion . . . and that's just the current debt,
what's due within 12 months. Since the Truman Administration
when dad served, the U.S. government, in concert with what
amounts to a group of private banking corporations, has
expanded the currency AND the credit to a point where today's
dollar has significantly lost its purchasing power.
NARRATOR
Purchasing power? Expansion of the
credit? What do we mean by all
these words, words we may have
heard many times but still fail to
connect the dots?
INT. GROCERY SHOPPING MARKET - EVENING
We are interviewing a check-out CLERK who is holding up three
tomatoes-on-the-vine in one hand and a Federal Reserve Note
(FRN) in the other. A number of customers stand behind her.
CLERK
I remember when it took ONE of
these
(referring to the FRN)
to buy THREE of these.
(referring to the
tomatoes)
Now it takes THREE of these
(referring to the FRN)
to buy even ONE or TWO of these.
(referring to the
tomatoes)
A dollar simply doesn't have the
power to purchase very much any
more.
SMART CUSTOMER
Yep. It's not your prices that
have gone UP, it's that the VALUE
of these things,
(refers to the FRN)
has gone DOWN. Hey, remember when
they used to say SILVER CERTIFICATE
on them? Now all they say is
Federal Reserve NOTE. They're not
even IOUs now. Give me a break!
CLERK
(pointing)
And this over-blown, off-center
picture of Franklin. Pah-leeze!
Who authorized THAT?! Certainly
not ME, or any of us tax-paying
voters.
INT. MONTAGE OF PRODUCTS
CAMERA tracks down isles of food, rows of new automobiles,
shelves of electronic appliances, racks of clothing, houses
for sale in the neighborhood.
NARRATOR
Are you confused? If so you're not
alone. Since the early 1900's
almost no one talks about the
country's banking system any more,
yet our money, like water, is one
of the most important commodities
we have.
(pause)
More than that, the quality of our
money effects the productivity of
every man, woman and company in
America.
(pause)
As time goes on, people figure out
better ways of doing things, better
ways of making products, cheaper
and faster. For instance, one
farmer can now grow food for
thousands of people whereas he used
to be able to feed only his family.
Thus, everything SHOULD be getting
cheaper because the supply of
everything has been growing faster
than the demand. This is true even
though the population has been
growing as well. Unfortunately,
this is not what we observe. With
the exception of a few industries,
like the computer industry, AND
products we import from places like
China, it seems that almost
everything is getting HIGHER in
price but often LOWER in quality.
How can this be? Over the decades,
the productive energy of society
seems to be getting siphoned off.
INT. JAMES McCABES'S OFFICE - DAY As Mr. McCabe talks, we see
shots of Ross Perot warning about NAFTA, cars lined up at the
Mexican border, a little girl sucking the last of a milk
shake, shots from old vampire movies, printing presses
running wildly, a little boy accidentally pouring too much
milk in a cup of coffee, Congressmen in session pounding the
table, another kid blowing up a balloon, people standing in
soup lines, a shot from APOLLO 13. (Note, if James McCabe is
not available to do the below interview, the producers
anticipate offering the opportunity to Ross Perot.) JAMES
McCABE That loud sucking sound you hear is not only NAFTAgenerated
jobs going to Mexico, it's the purchasing power of
your money being sucked out by the vampires at the Federal
Reserve. These folks realize how profitable it is to
endlessly dilute the money supply with freshly-printed cash.
THAT'S inflation. (pause) With a little help from their porkbellied
friends in Congress, they then lend this fresh cash
into the system so they can collect billions in interest
payments. With all this bogus paper floating around, is it
any wonder we have a permanent increase in prices? (pause) I
would say it's high-time for the country, and the handful of
responsible Congressmen, to re-open the national dialog on
our banking system. Now that we have had an unfettered
chance to experience the Federal Reserve System in full-blown
action since the Great Depression -- which of course the
bankers had nothing to do with -- (wink wink) -- there are a
number of issues that indicate "we may have a problem
Houston."
INT. SERIES OF ITEMS
As narrator speaks, we see a montage of newspapers,
television clips and graphs addressing the following
subjects: recessions and depressions, booms and busts since
the escalating national deficit AND debt, graphs of inflation
and loss of purchasing power, unemployment statistics, the
cost of insurance and healthcare, stock market bubbles, overpriced
real estate, balance of trade deficits, ENRON,
WORLDCOM and Arthur Andersen criminals being led away in
handcuffs, perpetual wars, human suffering.
NARRATOR
It's almost impossible to believe
that the all-powerful dominant
mainstream media, what Bill
O'Reilly calls the ELITE MEDIA,
would endlessly cover all these
issues yet be silent on the very
subject that is common to all of
them -- money, and the entity that
creates and manages the so-called
money supply: the Federal Reserve
System. Why is this?
EXT. DOMINANT MEDIA CORPORATIONS - DAY
CAMERA dissolves from the buildings and/or logos of the multinational
media corporations that own all the major movie
studios, TV networks, cable companies and publishing houses.
These corporations are as follows: WALT DISNEY COMPANY, TIME
WARNER, NEWS CORP., VIACOM, VIVENDI/Universal, SONY, AT&T
(Liberty Media), BERTELSMANN, GENERAL ELECTRIC (NBC). The
voice of "Ted Turner" reads an excerpt from his widely
suppressed article, MY BEEF WITH BIG MEDIA. (Note, in the
event Mr. Turner is not available to do the below interview,
two possible alternatives could be author-attorney, John
Cones or Hollywood observer, Ted Baher.)
TED TURNER
Today, media companies are more
concentrated than at any time over
the past 40 years. Consolidation
has given big media companies new
power over what is said, not just
on the air, but off it as well.
Naturally, corporations say they
would never suppress speech. But
it's not their intentions that
matter; it's their capabilities.
Consolidation gives them more power
to tilt the news and cut important
ideas out of the public debate.
EXT. MEDIA CLIPS
As the narrator speaks VO, we watch a continuous montage of
events the corporate media avidly covers to keep our
attention pegged on the EFFECTS of a ravaged monetary system
rather than the CAUSE, which is the Federal Reserve System.
This montage would include the endless parade of murders,
rapes and scandals, such as O.J. Simpson, Michael Jackson,
Monica Lewinski, Amber Fry-type "news" stories, to exemplify
but a few.
NARRATOR
Yes the dominant media "entertains"
us with the "news." Could this be
one of the reasons any critical
reporting of universally important
issues, such as the Federal
Reserve, have been cut out of the
public debate for so long, as Mr.
Turner suggests? Or are there
other reasons? If so, what are
they? Why would 9 major media
corporations, corporations that
control the information flow to 95%
of the American citizens, fail to
report on the detrimental
activities of the Federal Reserve
System, a private banking cartel
that literally controls 100% of the
money flow to the same citizens, as
well as the lion's share of the
money flow to Congress itself? G.
Edward Griffin.
EXT. JEKYLL ISLAND, RECREATION - NIGHT
CAMERA pulls back from a long shot of J.P. Morgan's hunting
club to reveal seven men emerging from a gleaming black coach
parked at the railway station on Jekyll Island. These men
are elite bankers and U.S. government officials as follows:
Nelson W. Aldrich, Henry P. Davidson, Charles D. Norton, A.
Piatt Andrew, Frank A. Vanderlip, Benjamin Strong and Paul M.
Warburg. As they get off the train, a TITLE reveals what
bank they work for (such as National City Bank of New York)
or what government post they hold (such as Assistant
Secretary of the U.S. Treasury).
ED GRIFFIN
The basic plan for the Federal
Reserve System was drafted at a
secret meeting held in November of
at the private resort of J.P.
Morgan on Jekyll Island off the
coast of Georgia. Those who
attended represented the greatest
financial institutions of Wall
Street and, indirectly Europe as
well. The reason for the secrecy
was simple.
Had it been known that rival
factions of the banking community
had joined together, the public
would have been alerted to the
possibility that the bankers were
plotting an agreement in restraint
of trade -- which, of course, is
exactly what they were doing. What
emerged was a cartel agreement with
five objectives: stop the growing
competition from the nation's newer
banks; obtain a franchise to
effectively create money out of
nothing for the purpose of lending;
get control of the reserves of all
banks so that the more reckless
ones would not be exposed to
currency drains and bank runs; get
the taxpayer to pick up the
cartel's inevitable losses; and
convince Congress that the purpose
was to protect the public. It was
realized that the bankers would
have to become partners with the
politicians and that the structure
of the cartel would have to be a
central bank.
EXT. U.S. CAPITOL - DAY
Various shots of our national buildings around the Capitol.
Stock footage of the government going about its daily
business of "serving" the People.
NARRATOR
The motivation for Congress to go
into partnership with the elite
bankers who formed the Federal
Reserve is clear: endless amounts
of money could effectively be
printed up and lent to Congress,
thus individual Congressmen would
no longer be forced to depend on
raising taxes to generate
additional revenue -- an unpopular
action that can cost them reelection.
Ironically, if there were
no Federal Reserve System, there
would be no need for an income tax.
In fact, the country did fine
without it for 137 years. The
income tax Amendment was introduced
the same year the Federal Reserve
System was formed, 1913.
Coincidence? Prior to the
formation of the Federal Reserve
System, the country never did
better. In fact THAT was the
problem -- at least for the major
banks. Capital formation, also
known as SAVINGS, was happening all
over. America was doing great! So
much so, the big New York banks
were losing business. No one
needed to borrow money. Why SHOULD
they when they could finance
expansion out of earnings, AND pay
no interest?
(pause)
But why isn't the dominant media
telling us THIS story? What would
motivate them to refrain from a
critical report on the Federal
Reserve System, especially today
when critical reports are often
made on every aspect of life. Dr.
Ted Baehr.
EXT. STOCK FOOTAGE OF POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS
As Dr. Baehr speaks, we see shots of political campaigns. We
see the network-sponsored presidential debates, we see
headlines announcing that the government has granted
additional bandwidth in the broadcast spectrum to this
corporation or that, all dominant media companies. And on
the last line below, we see an explosion of a hydrogen bomb.
TED BAEHR
It costs millions of dollars to run
for President or Congress today.
Where does most of the campaign
money get spent? It goes to
network air time. The purchase of
media. TV commercials. And who
gets this money? The companies
that dominate the media, of course -
- basically 6 multi-national
corporations which own the 6 major
movie studios and 5 major networks.
Thus candidates are, to a great
degree, dependent on what Ted
Turner calls big media, to get
elected. But after they get
elected, to show their
appreciation, they often pass
legislation which benefits only the
big media corporations.
Such legislation might include who
gets first call on more broadcast
spectrum . . . or who gets to even
BE IN the broadcasting business,
i.e., gets a license. In short:
CONGRESS is a CLIENT of the MEDIA!
Thus, it would be a "conflict of
interest" if the media were to
broadcast anything that might
lessen Congresses' ability to do
what it wants. And the primary
thing Congress wants to do is
OBTAIN and SPEND money --
especially money that perpetuates
the status quo and the expansion of
government. None of this is
possible without their partnership
with the Federal Reserve bankers.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. WALL STREET - DAY
As narrator discusses the structure of the Federal Reserve
System, we cut to various shots of the following banks:
CITIBANK, CHASE MANHATTAN BANK, MORGAN GUARANTY TRUST,
CHEMICAL BANK and MANUFACTURES HANOVER. We also scan the few
ownership lists have been in the public domain in the past.
NARRATOR
Let's take "a second look" at the
words of Thomas Jefferson, a deeper
look at exactly WHO owns and
operates the private banks known as
the Federal Reserve System and what
their "mission statement" might be.
TITLE: ". . .the banks and corporations that will grow up
around them will deprive the people of all their prosperity.
. ."
NARRATOR
(continuing)
The banks AND corporations that
will grow up around them will
deprive the people of all their
prosperity.
(pause)
Interesting that Jefferson not only
mentions the BANKS that will grow
up, but the CORPORATIONS as well.
Bear in mind that each one of the
FEDERAL Reserve Banks is basically
a PRIVATE corporation. Neither you
and I, the People, nor the FEDERAL
government for that matter, OWN
these corporations, these so-called
banks. They are owned by OTHER
corporations known as "member
banks." According to accidental
releases of 'Fed' stockholder
information, as of 11:05, Tuesday,
July 26, 1983, five member banks
owned 53% of the stock in the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
the most MAJOR of the 12 Federal
Reserve Banks around the country.
This is a controlling interest in
the controlling bank. The MAJOR
stockholders of these MAJOR banks,
however, are confidential. No one,
not even the government or the
President of the United States,
knows who they are, nor can they
find out. We all began to lose
track of this ownership on Tuesday
the 26th of July, 1983 at 11:05 AM.
Only a small group of elite
INSIDERS knows who these owners or
controlling agents are in present
time. Bill Van Alen.
INT. OFFICE OF WILLIAM L. VAN ALEN, JR. - DAY
As William L. Van Alen, Jr., founder of the socially
responsible NOAH FUND, and Narrator speak, we cut to shots of
major law firms, accountancies, agents, brokers and the army
of enablers in the "system" -- a system not unlike the
control system portrayed in the motion picture, THE MATRIX.
We then cut to a group of kids playing MONOPOLY as one kid
scoops up a handful of red hotels and slaps down a stack of
green Federal Reserve Notes.
BILL VAN ALEN
Does this sound like a Thomas
Jefferson operation? Does the socalled
Federal Reserve System sound
like something Ben Franklin, the
man who co-authored the
Constitution and invented the potbelly
stove, would set up? Or does
it sound more like something George
Orwell would write about in his
nightmare book, 1984?
NARRATOR
No one knows who the controlling
owners of the Federal Reserve
member banks are because these
individuals use what's known as
NOMINEES and STREET stock to hide
their identity. But let's back up
for a moment. We need to remember
that most of us have seen the
gradual but perpetual "behind-thescenes"
push for socialism by a
relatively small number of
prominent people: politicians,
movie stars, business executives,
academics, clergy and so forth.
Here's what the analysts now say
about this bunch. Best estimates
indicate that a network of about
people, mostly located in large
urban areas worldwide, facilitate
the acquisition and control of the
voting stock of these banks, and
other major corporations, by proxy.
These so- called movers and shakers
are the main "soldiers" in what
could be termed an international
"socialist army." This army,
directed by an insider control
group of about 300 "line officers",
gives the marching orders as to
where literally hundreds of
TRILLIONS of dollars of monetary
power will be directed.
Interestingly, many of these 300
insiders seem to be related to one
another by blood, marriage, and
business ties, and, it appears,
have family ties to the original
robber barons of the industrial
revolution at the turn of the 19th
Century.
(pause)
Fortunately or unfortunately, most
of the 7,000 involved may be
largely unaware of their negative
effects on society. They may even
sincerely, but naively, believe
they are simply "doing good."
Nevertheless, now talking about the
300 line officers who form the
inner body, we estimate that about
30 of this group are anything BUT
naive.
This 30-person core -- what could
be considered a "general staff" --
seem to know precisely what they
are doing, AND what their goal is:
nothing less than world domination
through economic high-tech
feudalism. Eventually, as people
become aware of the effects of the
insiders, we may see the day when
federal investigations describe
these "monetary scientists" as the
most dangerous and depraved
criminals in the world --
(pause)
a global syndicate of individuals
who seek to impose THEIR plan on
civilization and, in the process,
TRASH the "In God We Trust" plan
that inspired the Founders when
they set up the United States of
America.
(pause)
Thus, having successfully
established the ultimate moneymaking
machine, the Federal Reserve
System, this nefarious cartel of
tyrants is in a position to
literally acquire control over the
assets of the world -- deprive the
People of ALL their prosperity --
as Thomas Jefferson would say. This
is the calculus of the situation,
and this is exactly what they are
doing -- with a little help from
their "virtuous," but "ignorant"
servants in Congress, as John Adams
might say. Yes, the Founding
Fathers must surely be rolling over
in their graves.
JOHN ADAMS (VO)
All the perplexities, confusion,
and distress in America arise, not
from defects in their Constitution
or Confederation, not from want of
honor or virtue, but from the
downright ignorance of the nature
of coin, credit and circulation.
EXT. VARIOUS LOCATIONS
More clips of various American citizens in which the
following question is asked: Where does Congress get most of
its funding?
CITIZEN 5
I would imagine taxes.
CITIZEN 6
Taxes. Raising taxes.
CITIZEN 7
Selling cigarettes and liquor?
Probably lotteries as well.
Despicable for government to be
involved in such things.
CITIZEN 8
They borrow it from you and me . .
. and the Japanese.
NARRATOR
As we can see, the average American
citizen has conflicting ideas as to
where Congress gets its funding.
In actuality, Congress gets most of
it by borrowing it from the Federal
Reserve. The Federal Reserve gets
the so-called money by effectively
printing it up. The whole process
is known as the Mandrake Mechanism.
Thus, today's paper currency, far
from the gold and silver coinage
stipulated by the Founders, is
essentially created out of thin
air. Again, G. Edward Griffin.
EXT. VARIOUS SHOTS
As Mr. Griffin speaks, we see various shots of people working
hard, sweating and really putting out energy. These shots
are inter-cut with bankers simply pushing buttons on
computers and filling out deposit slips while chatting with
pretty office girls. We see printing presses printing up TBills,
T-Bonds and T-Notes which morph into Federal Reserve
Notes bearing the words: "One Silver Dollar Payable to the
Bearer on Demand" which are suddenly Xed out in red ink.
Against a background of morphing dollars (from the 1907 Gold
Certificate for $10 Dollars to the 1963 Federal Reserve Note
for $1) we see more printing presses printing out the
unbacked, fiat, Federal Reserve Notes feverishly.
ED GRIFFIN
Today's American dollar has no
intrinsic value. It is a classic
example of fiat money with no limit
to the quantity that can be
produced.
Its primary value lies in the
willingness of people to accept it
and, to that end, legal tender laws
may require them to do so. It is
true that our so-called money today
is created out of nothing, but it
may be more accurate to say it is
based upon debt. In that sense, we
can see that today's money is
created out of LESS than nothing.
EXT. VARIOUS SHOTS, CONTINUED WITH MR. GRIFFIN
Superimposed we see hands grabbing and releasing sand in the
wind, checks being made out for mortgage payments and rents,
we see a foreclosure sign nailed to a house; a man digs a
ditch, a woman smiles at a child who is blowing up a balloon.
We see cashiers accepting Federal Reserve Notes for food as
the words "This Note is legal tender for all debts public and
private" stream across the screen. We see the child's
balloon burst as the day-care "mother" looks on, suppresses a
laugh, and then spindles a Federal Reserve Note
disrespectfully.
ED GRIFFIN
(cont'd)
Our leaders cannot allow a serious
reduction in either the national or
consumer debt. The Mandrake
Mechanism by which the Fed converts
debt into money may seem
complicated at first, but it is
simple if one remembers that the
process is not intended to be
logical but to confuse and deceive.
The end product of the Mechanism is
artificial expansion of the money
supply, which is the cause of
inflation. This expansion then
leads to contraction and, together,
they produce the destructive boombust
cycle that has plagued mankind
throughout history wherever fiat
money has existed.
INT. VARIOUS SHOTS
As Rep. Ron Paul speaks, we dissolve back to the Constitution
and a shot of the Founding Fathers signing it. We see a
montage of the gold and silver coins Americans used once upon
a time as well as the more recent Gold and Silver
Certificates. Rep.
Ron Paul then slowly picks up a copy of the book, MONEY,
published by Principia Publishing and turns to page 84 where
CAMERA moves in for a close up of the $100,000 Gold
Certificate (series 1934) which ONLY the Federal Reserve
Bankers are allowed to use, and redeem in gold, even today.
REP. RON PAUL
All this brings us back to Article
I, Sections 8 and 10 of the
Constitution. Our Founding Fathers
knew all about fiat money. In
fact, this is the reason many of
them fled war-torn Europe to seek a
new life of peace in the American
Colonies. All great republics
throughout history cherished sound
money. When money was sound,
civilizations were found to be more
prosperous and freedom thrived.
Thus the Founding Fathers knew
that, unless the money supply was
gold or silver coin with all paper
currency backed by gold or silver --
thus creating a tamper-proof medium
of exchange -- profit-seeking
bankers would inevitably print up
and LEND into circulation as much
fiat money as possible, directly or
indirectly, so they can charge the
public a maximum of interest. The
Founders also knew that
unscrupulous politicians would be
tempted to partner with these
bankers so they could establish a
source of funds as an alternative
to taxation. This has resulted in
career Congressmen who have customtailored
the government to suit
THEIR needs, rather than the needs
of the People. Often their "needs"
involve war, as fiat money provides
the primary way of financing war
without raising taxes -- again the
very thing many of the Colonists
fled war-torn Europe to avoid.
(pause)
Constitutional money prevents all
this. It also prevents inflation
and the destructive boom and bust
cycles in the economy -- the so
called Business Cycle.
Contrary to what you may have heard
in your Econ 101 class, given in
one of our nation's governmentfunded
schools, there is NOTHING
natural about the Business Cycle.
It's as artificial as the bogus,
fiat money that causes it. On the
other hand, Constitutional money
promotes steady, long-term growth,
capital formation, prosperity and
minimal debt. And up until 1913,
when the Glass-Owen Bill was rushed
through Congress to form the
Federal Reserve System -- Americans
HAD all this. So why has the
American citizen been forced off
the so-called gold standard, while
the Federal Reserve Banks, and
their private stockholders, alone,
STILL remain on it?!
(pause)
By now, you should be asking
yourself some serious questions
about this Creature that was
concocted on Jekyll Island in 1910,
a creature which roams the land to
this very day -- attempting to
inflate our way to prosperity by
endlessly expanding the currency,
the credit, pork programs and yes:
ultimately the government -- thus
truncating individual freedoms and
liberty for all.
EXT. VARIOUS LOCATIONS
Clips from actual interviews of American citizens where the
following question is asked: What is the Federal Reserve
System?
CITIZEN 9
I guess it's where they keep the
gold. Something to do with Ft.
Knox.
CITIZEN 10
Sure, it's a system that keeps
America calm and reserved so we
don't abuse our neighbors around
the world.
CITIZEN 11
The Federal Reserve System? I
would suppose it has something to
do with my bank. Oh, that's it,
they insure my deposits up to a
hundred grand. Now if I only HAD a
hundred grand!
CITIZEN 12
As I once heard author G. Edward
Griffin put it: The Federal
Reserve is the banks' banker. It's
a quasi-private, governmentsanctioned
banking cartel that
should be abolished for seven
reasons: It is incapable of
accomplishing its stated
objectives; it is a cartel
operating against the public
interest; it is the supreme
instrument of usury; it generates
inflation, our most unfair tax; it
encourages war; it destabilizes the
economy; and worst of all, it's an
instrument of totalitarianism.
NARRATOR
Wow! Now THAT citizen is informed!
Too bad everyone is not as aware of
how far we have strayed from our
founding principles. But alas,
that's why the producers of this
promotional film propose a
continuation of the dialog.
Americans need to stay on top of
one of their most influential, if
not most nefarious, institutions,
the Federal Reserve System. More
importantly, they need to find out
exactly WHAT this private BANK has
done to the American Dream and HOW
it happened. They also need to
find out WHY it happened and WHO is
responsible.
(pause)
Because so many people in the U.S.
are now semi-illiterate, thanks to
the government-sponsored, fiat
money funded public school system,
we believe this discussion can be
stimulated only by a series of
documentary films.
In many ways film has replaced the
written word for the masses -- and
these films, at the very least, can
be broadcast across the Internet
and sold on DVD by direct mail.
(pause)
The first documentary will address
questions such as: How does the
Federal Reserve effect your day-today
life? Why does it now take a 2-
income family to make ends meet
thus preempting women from their
traditional role of providing more
consistent child care? Why do we
see a never-ending expansion of
government? Why do we have a
nightmarish array of federal, state
and local regulations? Where do
both political parties get the
money to continue the welfare
state, economic interventionism,
endless militarism and empire
building? How often does your
company have to raise prices in
order to pay the costs of complying
with a bewildering assortment of
government controls?
(pause)
Where does the government get the
funds to wage perpetual war and
conduct frivolous investigations
yet fails to provide the basic
protection citizens needed on
September 11, Why does so much of
what you purchase these days last
only a year or two and then break
or have to be replaced? Why does a
first-class stamp now cost nearly
40 cents, when it used to cost only
5 cents? Why do we see a deepening
wealth disparity which continues to
stir up discontent, drug use and
crime? Why are most of us worse
off than our parents at the same
age? How can the country be over 7
trillion dollars in debt, yet our
children are still coming out of
government-run schools
mathematically and scientifically
illiterate compared to other
countries? In sum, why do you feel
like you're on a treadmill and have
to constantly run faster just to
keep up?
INT. OFFICE OF JAMES E. EWART - DAY
We cut to Mr. Ewart, an expert on the etymology and accurate
use of monetary words and phrases. He is also an expert on
the intentions of the Founders as embodied in the
Constitution and numerous other important documents. Note:
Due to an illness, it may not be possible to use Mr. Ewart's
voice. In such case, a narrator may be used on the lines
below.
JAMES EWART
Inflation causes a PERMANENT rise
in the general price level, not a
temporary price rise in narrow or
isolated markets. What then is a
rise in the general price level?
The general price level of a
community, country, state or nation
is determined by monitoring the
prices voluntarily paid for a long
list of products and services.
Remember, inflation is a CAUSE of
the rise in the general price
levels. Often people confuse CAUSE
and EFFECT. For instance, rain is
a CAUSE of wet streets; WET STREETS
don't CAUSE rain. Smoke and flames
don't CAUSE arson; they are the
EFFECTS of arson. By the same
token, price increases don't CAUSE
inflation; INFLATION is a CAUSE of
price increases. Thus, printing of
paper currency by the Federal
Reserve is the sole CAUSE of
inflation which, in turn is THE
cause of long-term price increases.
It's confusion over terms like this
apologists for the Federal Reserve
System hope will continue to
obfuscate its detrimental effects
on society so that they, and
insider monetary scientists, can
continue to unjustly enrich
themselves.
EXT. RAINY DAY - NIGHT
As Mr. Ewart continues to explain inflation, it is pouring on
Wall Street, but the "rain" is trillions of tiny Federal
Reserve Notes with their ink hardly dry. Green pools of
quick sand form all over the sidewalks and streets as
unsuspecting business men and citizens march into them and
disappear.
JAMES EWART
(cont'd)
Thus the three most important
factors influencing the general
price level of a society are, one,
the supply of money and credit,
which is the purchasing media.
Two, the supply of goods and
services. And three, the
availability of people to buy those
goods and services.
INT. SERIES OF TITLES
As Mr. Ewart speaks VO, we see the below titles, A, B and C.
As he makes his point of what causes an increase or decrease
in the general price level, the capitalized words change from
INCREASES to DECREASES, and vice-versa.
JAMES EWART (VO)
(cont'd)
Here are the three circumstances,
any one of which can cause an
INCREASE in the general price
level:
A. The supply of purchasing media INCREASES. B. The supply of
goods and services DECREASES. C. The population (demand)
INCREASES
Here are the three circumstances,
any one of which can cause a
DECREASE in the general price
level:
A. The supply of purchasing media DECREASES. B. The supply of
goods and services INCREASES. C. The population (demand)
DECREASES.
JAMES EWART
(cont'd)
Since productive people almost
always find better, less wasteful,
ways to do things, in a simple
trading society, one which doesn't
use money or other media of
exchange, productivity almost
always increases. As individuals or
social productivity increases,
everyone's standard of living
improves.
(pause)
Each of us has his or her own
"personal computer" called our
brain. When we use our "computer"
properly, our standard of living,
from generation to generation,
steadily improves because we
continually find less-wasteful ways
to do things.
(pause)
As long as the availability of our
purchasing media remains relatively
stable, which it does when we use
gold or silver coins -- or their
redeemable paper substitutes --
prices tend to decline from
generation to generation, in spite
of the increasing demand for
products and services from an ever
larger population. If you live in
a society which adheres to
traditional American values, as you
grow older the prices you pay for
almost everything would be
relatively lower and your standard
of living would be relatively
higher.
(pause)
Unfortunately, since we do not
observe this happening, present
world circumstances suggest we Homo
sapiens have done something
radically wrong.
EXT. SHOTS OF PRESENT WORLD CIRCUMSTANCES
As producer, Bill Van Alen, concludes the film, we stride
through a series of quick, "fair use" images of our world as
seen over an assortment of TV networks. The images are
mostly alarming, mostly the antithesis of the world we COULD
have if people only adhered to traditional values and lawful
money as set forth by the Framers of the United States
Constitution.
BILL VAN ALEN
The documentary we are producing
will present an overview of both
Constitutional AND fiat money and
how they come into existence. It
will discuss the thinking behind
the Constitution and explain why
our country, and its people, are in
serious trouble unless we quickly
steer a course back to a system of
sound, Constitutional money.
But all is not doom and gloom. We
will present a way the country CAN
gradually legislate its way back to
sound money, backed once again by
gold and silver.
(pause)
Future documentaries will be based
on the research outlined in the six
chapters of the book, THE CREATURE
FROM JEKYLL ISLAND by G. Edward
Griffin and possibly expanded upon
by other experts in the field.
These documentaries will more fully
explain how the Federal Reserve
System operates, with emphasis on
federal deficits and the practice
of "fractional reserve banking" --
the main engine of inflation and
the culprit behind the continuous
loss of purchasing power, what we
experience as a continuous rise in
prices.
(pause)
We will also give the true history
of money and banking and explain
why gold has been used down through
the ages to maintain the structural
integrity of monetary systems and
why fiat money, government-decreed
money generated by central banks,
such as the Federal Reserve --
gives profligate and tyrannical
governments the means, opportunity
and motivation to wage perpetual
war and endlessly expand government
to the point where it encroaches on
our freedom and liberties.
(pause)
We will show how the country can
return to the U.S. monetary system
of about 30 years ago --
circulating coins and dollar bills,
100% made or backed by gold and
silver. And, with this, we will
definitively answer the most often
asked question: Is there enough
gold and silver to go around? We
will explain how the predatory
practices of the Federal Reserve
System were imported from the
central banking systems of our
former enemies.
(pause)
We will explain why the American
People have, in the past, already
abolished three Federal Reservelike
central banks as soon as they
realized what was happening, and
why this will happen again when
they realize life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness are once again
in grave peril.
(pause)
And lastly, the final documentary
will examine two possible futures --
a PESSIMISTIC, Orwellian future
based on a scenario whereby we
contine with the Federal Reserve
System until the United States
ceases to exist -- and the other --
a REALISTIC future based on a
scenario whereby we come to our
senses and reform or abolish the
Federal Reserve System.
Unfortunately, there is no
OPTIMISTIC scenario. It's too late
for that. There will be pain and
loss because we will have to suffer
through and correct the damage we
have already CAUSED because of our
collective lack of responsibility
and wandering from the path set
forth by the Framers of our
Constitution. This is the reality,
as unpleasant as it may be to
confront it.
(pause)
So if you are concerned about which
FUTURE your children and
grandchildren WILL face, support us
in this important effort to seek
out like-minded individuals and
together inform the People about
the Creature from Jekyll Island --
before our luck runs out.
