 Are the Big Banks Blackmailing our Government? 

Radio commentator and author, Charles Moscowitz has researched the history of American money from Colonial times to the present in his new book, The Art and Science of American Money -How Our Money Is Created and Why It Matters, which is available at http://amzn.com/B00DA1RWE8.

The CEO’s of JP Morgan Chase, BNP Parabas and Deutsche Bank have threatened our nation and our elected President Barack Obama by claiming that if the United States defaults on the loans borrowed from the three banks, major share-holders in the Federal Reserve, than there will be dire consequences for the economy.    

Deutsche Bank chief executive Anshu Jain, speaking on Saturday at an Institute of International Finance conference in Washington D.C. said that a default would be "utterly catastrophic" and would result in “a very rapidly spreading fatal disease,"

Reuters reports that “Jain, JP Morgan Chase chief executive Jamie Dimon and Baudouin Prot, chairman of BNP Paribas said that a default would have dramatic consequences on the value of U.S. debt and the dollar and likely would plunge the world into another recession.”

Chuck Morse  says that these private international bankers are blackmailing our elected government into paying them usury interest rates on money that our government did not need to borrow. Our government holds the constitutional prerogative to raise the revenue it needs by various forms of taxation and, additionally, our Congress can simply issue the money the government needs to pay its bills directly from the Treasury interest free.

Our elected President and Congress should respond to this threat from the bankers, which is almost as serious a threat of military invasion, by renegotiating the terms of the loans and establishing a payment plan to pay them back. This should be done slowly and carefully, over time, by paying the bank loans with U.S.Notes or Greenbacks.  

The Constitution says that Congress, not a cartel of private bankers and investors, holds the responsibility to “coin money” or create the money, and to “regulate the value thereof” which means that the Congress regulates the value of our money by deciding how much or how little they choose to spend.

If they spend too much, we have inflation, if they do not spend enough we have depression. The Constitution authorizes our Federal Government the right to create and regulate the value of the dollar and we the people make this decision through our elected representatives in Congress.

Our elected President should not succumb to this blackmail by the private bankers who threaten to sink our economy if they don’t get to lend us more of our own money at interest and then use the money they create to pay themselves.

President Obama likes to compare himself to President Abraham Lincoln.

In that vein, President Obama ought to do as Lincoln did when he was confronted by similar threats from private bankers. Lincoln responded by authorizing Congress to issue interest-free Greenbacks to pay the costs of running the government including the financing of the Union Army. Lincoln's Greenbacks were issued, the economy was stable and the Union was saved.
