"In the hierarchy of things, the debtor is beholden to the creditor. It is never the other way around. Today the combined public and private debt in the U.S. is something like $19 trillion -- a number that is literally astronomical since it's greater than the sum total of our combined earthly assets. To whom are the American people and the U.S. government indebted? A standard 'follow-the-money' investigation leads directly to the international bankers -- a society of the world's wealthiest and most powerful individuals. These people have shaped our world. They have been financing both sides of wars for centuries for two main reasons: War is profitable and the most efficient way to control people and nations is through their indebtedness."From "Wake Up:" The Idaho Observer, May 15, 2003, page 1.
