Brainfade Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Snopes verdict? FALSE http://www.snopes.com/quotes/jefferson/banks.asp Another debunk: http://www.dailypaul.com/80247/can-we-please-stop-propagating-the-fake-jefferson-quote-about-private-banks?page=2 Over and over I see people here posting the following alleged quote from Thomas Jefferson: "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." This is a fake. No one has been able to say where Jefferson wrote this. It's been spreading around the internet and has even made it in a few books (unsourced). This book points out that the quote is "spurious:" (The term "deflation" cannot even be traced back further than 1920, and the term "inflation" 1864 - long after Jefferson died). Also, this quote disagrees with Ron Paul who says that the best thing would be to allow the private market to create money (which is the standard position among Austrian economists). Dr. Paul would not be opposed to private banks creating money. He is for privately produced money rather than government money (http://www.ronpaullibrary.org/document.php?id=914) What he is opposed to is a single bank (the Fed) being granted a monopoly by the government to print legal tender, and the legal tender law which enforces the use of that money. Private banks, with no government granted monopoly, printing money, including commodity-backed money, is not a problem. That's what a free market in money would be. So not only the quote fraudulent but it doesn't align with the free market philosophy. It's more like something a socialist would say to justify nationalization (in fact I've seen that advocated here, and using this bogus quote to back it up http://www.dailypaul.com/node/80103). Jefferson was not a socialist. Finally, note that though the Constitution allows the government to coin money, it doesn't forbid the people AND THE BANKS THEY OWN from coining and printing money. The Constitution restricts the government, not the people and their private businesses.
akshayxyz Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 ^ Thanks. I usually check Snopes.. but this times I was too lazy :(( Must have checked the reddit comments on the post I copied it from :(( just that these lines fit quite well on the current scene, and touch the psyche of bottom (below-top, to be precise) of the pyramid.
Clarke Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 This one's authentic though, and applies to the debt situation.
