Introduction from H.G. Wells:

"...there remains a residuum of original and intelligent people ... mentally interested in banking, who do realize that banking plays a very important ... part in the world ..., who are curious about their own intricate function and disposed towards a scientific investigation of its origins ... Their enquiries carry them inevitably outside the bankers' habitual field to an examination of the nature, drift, and destiny of the entire economic process."

H.G. Wells in his Essay "The Open Conspiracy"

In 1862, a publication appeared The Hazard Circular of 1862 which stated:

“Slavery is likely to be abolished by the war power and all chattel slavery abolished. This I and my European friends are in favor of, for slavery is but the owning of labor and carries with it the care of the laborers, while the European plan, led on by England, is that capital shall control labor by controlling wages. The great debt that the capitalists will see to it is made out of the war, must be used as a means to control the volume of money. To accomplish this the bonds must be used as a banking basis. We are now waiting for the Secretary of the Treasury to make this recommendation to Congress. It will not do to allow the Greenback, as it is called, to circulate as money any length of time, as we cannot control that. But we can control the bonds and through them the bank issues.”

A well-established and respected publication such as the London Times, confirmed:

“If that mischievous financial policy which had its origin in the North American Republic [i.e. honest Constitutionally authorized non debt money] should become indurated down to a fixture, then that government will furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off its debts and be without a debt [to the international bankers]. It will become prosperous beyond precedent in the history of the civilized governments of the world. The brains and wealth of all countries will go to North America. That government must be destroyed or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe.”
