LINCOLN'S "GREENBACKS" (AND WHY THAT KILLED HIM)
================================================
Writes Dr. R.E. Search in *Lincoln: Money Martyred* (Omni
Publications, PO Box 900566, Palmdale, CA 93590), "The struggle
that was to rid the country of human slavery of the black race,
however, was also to fasten upon the whole nation an economic or
money slavery, which has endured to the present time..."
Abraham Lincoln and his Treasury Secretary, Salmon P. Chase
(Chase Bank later named after him) went to the New York bankers
"and applied for loans to the Government to carry on the [Civil]
war; the bankers replying, 'Well, war is a hazardous business,
but we can let you have it [the loans] at from 24 percent to 36
percent.'" (Dr. R.E. Search)
Appleton Cyclopedia (1861), page 296, states: "The money kings
wanted 24 percent to 36 percent interest for loans to our
government to conduct the Civil War." (qtd. in Search's book)
President Lincoln and Secretary Chase were outraged at the
usurious interest, and refused the offer.
Lincoln wrote to an old friend, Colonel Dick Taylor in Chicago,
and asked for advice. His friend told him to "get Congress to
pass a bill authorizing the printing of full legal tender
treasury notes or greenbacks." (qtd. in Search's book)
60 million dollars of full legal tender greenbacks were issued.
"All were taken at par and never appreciably fell below par at
any time..." (Dr. R.E. Search)
Lincoln referred to these greenbacks as "the greatest blessing
the people of this Republic [have] ever had." (qtd. in Search's
book)
But as soon as Lincoln began issuing the greenbacks, "the bankers
and money changers saw that unless they could stop that sort of
thing they were 'sunk' as far as ever being able to issue money
again themselves." (Dr. R.E. Search)
The banksters "had been able to fool and hoodwink England, and
keep her in bondage for 168 years, and they wanted very much to
continue, and to add the balance of the world to their conquest;
making the people everywhere economic serfs, working for them."
(ibid.)
>From the London Times:
If this mischievous financial policy [greenbacks]... should
become endurated down to a fixture, then that government
will furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off
its debts and be without debts. It will have all the money
necessary to carry on its commerce. It will become
prosperous beyond precedent in the history of the world.
The brains and wealth of all countries will go to North
America. That government must be destroyed or it will
destroy every monarchy on the globe. [qtd. in Search's
book]
The Bank of England/Rothschilds (do not be deceived by name,
"Bank of England"; Bank of England was/is a *private* bank)
issued, and distributed to American banksters, the following
document, quoted in part below:
The Hazard Circular
Slavery is likely to be abolished by the war power, and
chattel slavery abolished. This, I and my European friends
are in favor of, for slavery is but the *owning of labor*,
and carries with it the *care of labor*, while the European
plan, led on by England, is that capital shall control
labor by controlling wages.
The great debt that capitalists will see to it is made out
of the [Civil] war must be used to control the value of
money. To accomplish this, the Government bonds must be
used as a banking basis.
We are now waiting for the Secretary of the Treasury of the
United States to make this recommendation. It will not do
to allow greenbacks, as they are called, to circulate as
money any length of time, as we cannot control that, but we
can control the bonds and through them the bank issues.
[qtd. in Dr. Search's book]
SLAVERY IS BUT THE OWNING OF LABOR, AND CARRIES WITH IT THE CARE
OF LABOR. A "new, improved system" of slavery was being born.
Gustavus Myers (a "leftist") corroborates this in his book,
*History of the Great American Fortunes*: "...chattel slavery
could not compete in efficiency with white labor... more money
could be made from the white laborer, for whom no responsibility
of shelter, clothing, food and attendance had to be assumed than
from the Negro slave, whose sickness, disability or death
entailed direct financial loss."
"The perfect slave thinks he's free." That was the "new,
improved system" for exploiting labor. (Currently, a further
refinement is the use of temporary labor.)
Abraham Lincoln was "the man who first proved that government
could issue its own paper money, legally, honorably, and
rightfully, and make it full legal tender for all debts, both
public and private..." Was Lincoln "a dangerous man from the
[bankers] point of view? Could they have continued their
knavery, trickery, bribery, and destructive work... if Lincoln
had lived?" (Dr. R.E. Search)
