he wallops you as long as you live.
 So the financier’s game is to first get control of a country and then force the people to fight the people of another country that he wants to take possession of.
 WAR is strictly a game of the financiers.
 To outlaw War the people must first outlaw financiers. The people must abolish the financiers’ Interest Collecting Swindle.
 As published in my little book, DIRECT CREDITS FOR EVERYBODY, “Interest is the thief of everybody. It robs the government, it robs the manufacturer, it robs the merchants, and it robs workmen. It robs everybody except a few financiers who control the money, and by its control, gain the power to stifle governments, industry, trade and employment.
 The human race has stood for many slick schemes during the past that made slaves of everybody, but the scheme that allows those with money to tax those without it, is the werst that people have ever had to put up with.
 There is no sound reason why governments, manufacturers, merchants, and workers should be charged a tax for the money they use, and as long as this scheme is continued there will be business depressions, humiliated governments, bankrupt manufacturers and merchants and unemployed people.
 Money is a medium of exchange, endorsed by a government for the convenience of everybody. It has no intrinsic value and if everybody refused to take it in exchange for labor or products it would be absolutely worthless.
 The government, a number of persons put into office by everybody to manage their affairs. stamps its approval on money and then everybody accepts it as convenient payment. It is everybody, therefore, through their governmental managers, that makes money interchangeable, and the intention of its practice is to give equal benefit to everybody.
 As everybody through their governmental managers, makes money interchangeable, and as it has no value unless everybody sanctions it, there is no logical reason why enough of it cannot be furnished everybody for all trading purposes.
 But the masters of finance will not sanction that, for enough money in circulation for all purposes would make impossible their control of money and the power to charge a tax for its use.
 These all-powerful masters have built up a complicated system which requires experts to manipulate and which is not understood by everybody who are absolutely helpless. while being gypped of the fruits of their labors.
 One factor of the financial scheme now in force is, that less money is issued for trading purposes than is needea, so that manufacturers, merchants, workmen and governments are forced to go to those who have money for loans, upon which a tax, or toll, or interest, or graft, or whatever you may choose to call it, is charged.
