Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr. revealed the Bankers Manifesto of 1892 to the
U.S. Congress somewhere between 1907 and 1917.
BANKERS MANIFESTO We(the bankers) must proceed with caution and guard every move
made, for the lower order of people are already showing signs of restless commotion.
Prudence will therefore show a policy of apparently yielding to the popular will until our plans
are so far consummated that we can declare our designs without fear of any organized
resistance. Organizations in the United States should be carefully watched by our trusted
men, and we must take immediate steps to control these organizations in our interest or
disrupt them. At the coming Omaha convention to be held July 4, 1892, our men must attend
and direct its movement or else there will be set on foot such antagonism to our designs as
may require force to overcome. This at the present time would be premature. We are not yet
ready for such a crisis. Capital must protect itself in every possible manner through
combination (conspiracy) and legislation. The courts must be called to our aid, debts must be
collected, bonds and mortgages foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When, through the
process of law, the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and
easily governed through the influence of the strong arm of the government applied to a
central power of imperial wealth under the control of the leading financiers. People without
homes will not quarrel with their leaders. History repeats itself in regular cycles. This truth
is well known among our principal men who are engaged in forming an imperialism of the
world. While they are doing this, the people must be kept in a state of political antagonism.
The question of tariff reform must be urged through the organization known as the
Democratic Party, and the question of protection with the reciprocity must be forced to view
through the Republican Party. By thus dividing voters, we can get them to expend their
energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us, except as teachers to the
common herd. Thus, by discrete actions, we can secure all that has been so generously
planned and successfully accomplished. From The Politics of Common Sense The above
was taken from the "Banker's Manifest," for the private circulation among leading bankers
only, taken from the "Civil Servants” Year Book, "The Organizer" of January, 1934.
The Banker's Manifesto ties in with U.S. Senate Document No. 43, 73rd Congress,
1st Session (1934), to wit: bq. "The ultimate ownership of all property is in the State;
individual so-called "ownership" is only by virtue of Government, i.e., law, amounting to
Page 1 of 3
mere "user" and use must be in acceptance with law and subordinate to the necessities of
the State." The following is quoted from John Prukop of the Coalition of a Constitutional
Washington: The "plan" is to control all resources, human and natural. The control is not
by elected public officials, but by a self-appointed oligarchy. This is born out by reading the
details of Article 21 and 39 of the "Convention On Biological Diversity." This treaty declares
there are no reservation of rights. Article 21 mandates that three international
organizations, the UNEP, UNDP and the World Bank, will direct and control "the policy,
strategy, programme priorities and eligibility criteria relating to access to and utilization of
resources" in each member country. The Bankers' Manifesto of 1934 Capital must protect
itself in every way, through combination and through legislation. Debts must be collected and
loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When through a process of law, the
common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and more easily governed
by the strong arm of the law applied by the central power of wealth, under control of leading
financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known
among our principle men now engaged in forming an IMPERIALISM of capital to govern the
world. By dividing the people we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over
questions of no importance to us except as teachers of the common herd. Thus by discrete
action we can secure for ourselves what has been generally planned and successfully
accomplished ...TODAYS POWER GRAB IT IS NOT BY CHANCE that millions of
Americans have lost their homes during the tenure of the current President of the
United States. There is a great power grab under way, and a people without personal
savings or homes are more easily controlled. It is also not by chance that the same banks
that the Pujo Commission http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ars%C3%A8ne_Pujo sought to limit in
their power, are today the major beneficiaries of the current financial crisis.
JPMorgan Chase received the assets of Lehman Brothers in a deal brokered by
the government and the Federal Reserve. Washington Mutual, AIG, and Wachovia Bank are
also being consolidated into an ever smaller number of super banks that are all controlled by
a cabal of bankers, *the same cabal that control the Federal Reserve. *
I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation
is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of
the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to
be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated
governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a

government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion
and duress of a small group of dominant men.

Just before passage of the Federal Reserve Act, Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh Sr.
declared:
This Act (the Federal Reserve Act, Dec. 23rd 1913) establishes the most gigantic trust on
earth. When the President signs the Bill, the invisible government of the Monetary Power will
be legalised... The worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking and
currency Bill...
