John Kenneth Galbraith (Money: Whence it came, where it went, 1975) (加拿大籍的著名美國經濟學家﹐“貨幣的何去何從”) : The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it. The process by which banks create money is so simple that the mind is repelled.
貨幣的學問好像很複雜。但是這只因為有人故意把它變得複雜﹐來掩飾或迴避事實。銀行創造貨幣的過程簡單得很﹐令一般人難以接受。
Charles Dickens (英國作家) : Credit is a system whereby a person who can't pay, gets another person who can't pay, to guarantee that he can pay.
信貸制度就像一個沒有能力償還債務的人﹐去找一個沒有能力償還債務的人﹐來作他的擔保人。
Barry Goldwater (美國亞里桑哪州參議員): Most Americans have no real understanding of the operation of the international money lenders. The accounts of the Federal Reserve System have never been audited. It operates outside of the control of Congress and manipulates the credit of the United States.
大部份美國人都不清楚國際金融機構的運作。美國聯邦儲備局的帳簿是從來沒有人查核過的。美國聯儲局是一個不受國會監管的機構﹐而它卻可以任意操控美國的信貸。
Henry Ford (亨利福特﹐福特汽車廠的創始人): It is well enough that the people of this nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.
還好美國人不懂得我們的金融和貨幣制度的運作﹐否則他們必然會立刻發起革命吧。
Sir Josiah Charles Stamp, (English Economist, President of the Bank of England in the 1920's and the 2nd richest man in Great Britain, 1880-1941) (經濟學家﹐第二大首富﹐英倫銀行行長): The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight-of-hand that was ever invented. Banking was conceived in inequity and born in sin... But if you want to continue to be slaves of the bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let the bankers continue to create money and control credit .
現代金融制度是無中生有。其過程神奇之極﹐簡直可媲美魔術。現代金融制度是在不公義的情況下珠胎暗結﹐然後在罪惡裡誕生... 如果你願意繼續做銀行的奴隸﹐並且自願付出代價﹐那麼你們盡管讓這個金融制度繼續下去吧。
同上(Ditto): Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money and control credit, and with a flick of a pen they will create enough to buy it back.
關於這世上的銀行家﹐你們大可以把他們所有的權力拿走﹐而只留下印制貨幣的權利﹐他們轉眼間就能創造足夠的財富來把所有的都買回來。
