the U.S.A. and as there is no way for the people to learn differently they gulp it down and believe it.
 As a matter of truth, there has never been Sixty Billions of Dollars in the U.S.A. since this country was first established.
 Not counting the gold, which I have frequently stated is not money but merely bait used to hook the people and skin them, there is less than eight billion dollars in the U.S.A. today and about half of that is not in circulation at all but is laying dead in the vaults of the financiers.
 The financiers, of course, are willing to loan what money they have in their vaults for tribute on condition that valuable property is put up as security.
 But, right there is the hitch as the people have little or no security to put up as the financiers have already absorbed three-quarters of the American people’s property because they could not pay the interest charges on previous loans and the people now have but very little property left to put up as security.
 Lack of security is the reason why half of the money in America lies dead in the vaults of the financiers while business stagnates for the want of it.
 Inasmuch as the people of the U.S.A. are forced to pay Twenty Billions of Dollars annual interest upon loans of money and credit, it will not take much more time for the financiers to absorb the rest of the people’s properties, in which case, they will have no more securities left to put up for loans of money to use as a trade convenience.
 Under such swindling methods there is no way for anybody to retain control of their property because it is within the power of the financiers to take it from them either through interest collection or by forced payment of taxes at such high rates that they cannot be met, and as a result the properties are confiscated for nonpayment thereof.
 Through their various avenues of publicity the financiers have been teaching the people that taxes go to the politicians whereas a large percentage of the taxes go to pay back interest on loans from the finan­ciers.
 The reason that the people are misled to believe that politicians should be blamed for excessive taxes is because the finan­ciers want to discredit them in the eyes of the people so that when the proper time arrives they will meet no resistance in throwing the politicians out and putting the financial dictator in their places.
 Of course when that happens the people will then lose the American form of government and a voice in the management of their own affairs.
 The financiers, through their touts, have control of practically every influential organization in America except the Direct Cre­dits Society. So through the control of these different organizations, they are able to get the people to argue, quarrel and lambast one another over trifling matters that don’t amount to anything. Thus, while they fight among themselves over trifles it is an easy
