(Bread #1666)
"Capital must protect itself in every possible way, both by combination and legislation. Debts must be collected, mortgages foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When, through process of law, the common people lose their homes, they will become more docile and more easily governed through the strong arm of the government applied by a central power of wealth under leading financiers. These truths are well known among our principal men, who are now engaged in forming an imperialism to govern the world. By dividiing the voters through political party system, we can get them to expend their energies in fighting for questions of no importance."
–Montagu Norman, Governor of the Bank of England, addressing the United States Bankers Association, New York, 1924
By the way, combination mean conspiracy.
