COTDn: Danger

Rothschild Is Now In TBTF Plunge Protection Business | ZeroHedge: "It is impossible to grasp the meaning of the idea of sound money if one does not realize that it was devised as an instrument for the protection of civil liberties against despotic inroads on the part of governments. Ideologically it belongs in the same class with political constitutions and bills of rights. The demand for constitutional guarantees and for bills of rights was a reaction against arbitrary rule and the nonobservance of old customs by kings.

-- Ludwig von Mises

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies."

--Thomas Jefferson, US President 1801-9.

"When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain."

--Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of France.
