"This [Federal Reserve Act] establishes the most
gigantic trust on earth. When the President Woodrow
Wilson signs this bill, the invisible govemment of the
monetary power will be legalized the worst
legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this
banking and currency bill. "
"The financial system has been tumed overto the
Federal Reserve Board. That board administers the
finance system by authority of a purely profiteering
group. The system is private, conducted for the sole
purpose of obtaining the greatest possible profits
from the use of other people's money. "
"From now on, depressions will be scientifically created. Like
two con men working a mark, the Fed made credit easy while
establishment newspapers hyped what riches could be made in
the stock market."
- Charles August Lindbergh Sr, US Congressman 1907-1917
