Franklin Roosevelt was the 32nd President of the US, ushered in the "New Deal" and the entry into World War I and World War II, was in office through the time of the Great Depression. Many believe he was little more than a puppet of the international bankers, and followed their whims. He signed into effect the FDIC, instead of taking the power of money back into the people's hands, he ensured that the Banks would survive and thrive. He ended the gold standard. He increased the national debt, approved the Social Security Act, and made the federal government bigger than it had ever been. If ever in America's history there should have been a revolution of the people, it should have occurred in his presidency, but he evaded that with programs that seemingly helped the people (though we are paying the consequences for it now), and making the people think that he was on their side, all the while doing nothing about the bankers that caused and were financing (or de-financing) the problems of those times. It is thought by some that he was probably aware of this, as noted by the following quotes:

"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson." - Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd US President

They (who) seek to establish systems of government based on the regimentation of all human beings by a handful of individual rulers. . . call this a new order. It is not new and it is not order.

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.

The hopes of the Republic cannot forever tolerate either undeserved poverty or self-serving wealth.

More than an end to war, we want an end to the beginnings of all wars.

True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.

The only thing to fear is fear itself.

GEORGE WASHINGTON

George Washington of course was our first President, was an advocate of a small central government and lead in the Revolutionary War against England and the Central Bank of England, advocating against taxation without representation and the evils of the central bank system. He was against the evils of a party system.

The first $1 notes (called United States Notes or "Legal Tenders") were issued by the Federal Government in 1862 and featured a portrait of Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase (1861-1864). The first use of George Washington's portrait on $1 notes was on Series 1869 United States Notes. Of all the notes printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, $1 notes make up about 45% of currency production.

"Every lover of his country will therefore be solicitous to find out some speedy remedy for this alarming evil. There is no possible substitute for the loss of commerce. Our first grand object, therefore, is its restoration. I presume not to dictate or direct. It is a subject that will require the deepest deliberations and researches of the wisest and more experienced men in America to fully comprehend. It probably belongs to no one man existing to possess all the qualifications required to trace the course of American commerce through all intricate paths and to those and only those that shall lead the United States to future glory and prosperity I am sanguine in the belief of the possibility that we may one day become a great commercial and flourishing nation. But if in the pursuit of the means we should unfortunately stumble again on un-funded paper money or any similar species of fraud, we shall assuredly give a fatal stab to our national credit in its infancy. Paper money will invariably operate in the body of politics as spirit liquors on the human body. They prey on the vitals and ultimately destroy them."

JOHN F. KENNEDY

John F. Kennedy was the 35th President of the US. He was in office in the early Vietnam War years.

President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order 11110 in 1963 giving the Treasury Department power to issue silver certificates as the base of U.S. money. Once sufficient silver certificates existed it would eliminate the demand for Federal Reserve notes. JFK was assassinated five months later.

When Kennedy called for a return of America’s currency to the gold standard, and the dismantling of the Federal Reserve System, he actually minted non-debt money that does not bear the mark of the Federal Reserve; when he dared to actually exercise the leadership authority granted to him by the U.S. Constitution, Kennedy prepared his own death warrant.
