Here is an essay by William Blase <blase.html> which is an overview of the conspiracy, addressing the whole question of the Federal Reserve in some depth. Good reading. Read Gold and the Founding Fathers <getman.html> by Robert S. Getman, as of 1976 an attorney practicing with the firm of Kelley Drye & Warren in NYC. The article is an adaptation of the first part of "The Right to Use Gold Clauses in Contracts," Brooklyn Law Review (Winter, 1976).
In 1899, M. W. Walbert published a book he titled "The Coming Battle." WorldNetDaily summarizes the book as follows:
First published in 1899, republished for the first time in 100 years! The Coming Battle documents from Congressional records, newspaper reports and writings by the founding fathers and others a chronology of events long forgotten that shaped our fledgling nation from 1776 to 1899. Read about the manipulation of our money and its supply, the intentional creation of recessions, depressions and panics. The manipulation of the stock markets. The demonitization of silver. A breathtaking history told in the words of a contemporary witness to these events. You must have this book! Great gift for anyone interested in history, government, economics or the fate of our nation.

Here is the opening passage from the first chapter of Power And Accountability <ragm_power/index.html> by Robert A.G. Monks and Nell Minow:
I was driving through Maine one late summer day when I stopped to admire a river running through a pretty wooded area. I noticed big, slick bubbles of industrial discharge corroding the vegetation along the riverbank, and I wondered: Who wants this to happen? Not the owners of the company, the shareholders. Not the managers or employees, who want to live in a healthy environment. Not the board of directors, not the community, not the government. I could not think of anyone connected with the company emitting the effluent who wanted the result I saw. This was an unintended consequence of the corporate structure. The very aspects of the company's design that made it so robust, so able to survive changes in leadership, in the economy, in technology, were the aspects that led to this result - pollution that no one wanted, and everyone would pay for.
I realized I was part of the problem some time later, while in my office at the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company, where I was Chairman of the Board. I was looking over the proxies that it was our responsibility, as trustee for $7 billion in assets, to vote, and I was preparing to do what we had always done - vote with management on all of them. I picked up the proxy for the company that produced the industrial sludge I had seen, and I realized that if I voted for management, I was endorsing this activity. Those of us who managed money on behalf of others had the opportunity, and the responsibility, to tell management that this activity was unacceptable. But none of us was doing it.
No Innocent Stockholders
There is no such thing to my mind . . . as an innocent stockholder. He may be innocent in fact, but socially he cannot be held innocent. He accepts the benefits of the system. It is his business and his obligation to see that those who represent him carry out a policy which is consistent with the public welfare.

Now to prove the Rothschilds wrong! Note that the latin rubric at the top of the page is the motto of the House of Rothschild - or rather, their principal advertising slogan. This from the people who finance wars, fomented by their agents, and fought by other people while they sit around and drink tea. The motto translates as "Harmony, Honesty, Hard Work." ROTFL!
