Sunday Quotes: — Religion Of Peace Edition
Perpetual Killing Of Unbelievers
“The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the world, and in the Hereafter theirs will be an awful doom;”
Wife Beating
“Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.”
Torture
“fight and slay the Pagans, seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem” “for them (the unbelievers) garments of fire shall be cut and there shall be poured over their heads boiling water whereby whatever is in their bowels and skin shall be dissolved and they will be punished with hooked iron rods”

It further struck me that a simple list of such thoughts might be of value to my readers.
So, here is a list pulled from my quotes file and presented without commentary. Enjoy:

This Is Why It Is Moral To Wish Death Upon All Bankers
This was on Lew Rockwell this morning.
——————————————————
“The bank hath benefit of interest on all moneys which it creates out of nothing.”
—— William Paterson, founder of the Bank of England in 1694
.
“Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who writes the laws.”
—– Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812), founder of the House of Rothschild.
“If my sons did not want wars, there would be none.”
—— Gutle Schnaper, wife of Mayer Amschel Rothschild and mother of his five sons
“The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or be so dependent upon its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.”
—– The Rothschild brothers of London writing to associates in New York, 1863
“Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of a pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for this world would be a happier and better world to live in. But if you wish to remain slaves of the Bankers and pay for the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits.”
—– Sir Josiah Stamp, President of the Bank of England in the 1920s, the second richest man in Britain
“When you or I write a check, there must be sufficient funds in our account to cover the check; but when the Federal Reserve writes a check, there is no bank deposit on which that check is drawn. When the Federal Reserve writes a check, it is creating money.”
—– From the Boston Federal Reserve Bank pamphlet, “Putting it Simply.”
“Neither paper currency nor deposits have value as commodities. Intrinsically, a ‘dollar’ bill is just a piece of paper. Deposits are merely book entries.”
—– “Modern Money Mechanics Workbook” – Federal Reserve of Chicago, 1975
“I am afraid the ordinary citizen will not like to be told that the banks can and do create money. And they who control the credit of the nation direct the policy of Governments and hold in the hollow of their hand the destiny of the people.”
—— Reginald McKenna, as Chairman of the Midland Bank, addressing stockholders in 1924
“I am just a banker doing God’s work.”
—– Lloyd Blankfein, CEO, Goldman Sachs, 2009
“Banks do not have an obligation to promote the public good.”
—– Alexander Dielius, CEO, Germany, Austrian, Eastern Europe Goldman Sachs, 2010
.
So there it is in their own words. The arrogance, elitism, and condescension of bankers towards the common citizen are starkly revealed. These brilliant criminals have created the Ponzi scheme of all Ponzi schemes and so far, protected it from any form of criminal prosecution. However, that might be about to change. Awareness of their criminality is growing throughout the world at a rapid pace but never doubt that this group will fight tenaciously and be willing to go to any extremes to protect their centuries’ old scam. We predict there will undoubtedly be more strange banker deaths ahead of us in the ensuing weeks, months, and years.
The next time you walk into your local bank, please ask yourself this question, “Do I really want to entrust my hard earned wages and savings to a centuries’ old criminal scheme?” If you don’t, please consider gold and silver for protection of your wealth.”
