Telling Presidential Quotes

If you really want to understand politics today, these four quotes by four former United States Presidents will give you a good picture. If you had any doubt.

"The money power preys upon the nation in time of peace and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me, and causes me to tremble for the safety of our country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people, until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the republic is destroyed.”
-Abraham Lincoln


"Our great nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated (Federal Reserve), and all our activities are in the hands of a few men, who necessarily, by very reason of their own limitations, chill and check and destroy genuine economic freedom. We have come to be one of the worst rules, 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 or vote of the majority but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men.” -Woodrow Wilson


“Whether sought or unsought by the military industrial complex the potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.” -Dwight D Eisenhower


“The high office of the President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the American's freedom and before I leave office, I must inform the citizens of this plight.” 
JFK -Ten days before assassination (If you did not know, JFK was about to shut down the Federal Reserve, and had even signed the paperwork.)
