  • History of Money, Lecture 30, Pt. C: on December 23, 1913, President Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, signed the Federal Reserve Act into law. The Federal Reserve System replaced the National Banking System, created the famous Federal Reserve Note (redeemable in gold at the U.S. Treasury), functioned as a lender of last resort, and placed the charge of the nation's money supply in twelve private Federal Reserve district banks across the nation, with the New York Fed the most powerful, the system overseen by a Federal Reserve Board in Washington, D.C. Morgan partner Benjamin Strong, Jr. was made Governor (President) of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and Woodrow Wilson appointed Paul Warburg to serve on the Federal Reserve Board in Washington. Until 1933, open market operations were conducted autonomously by each of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks, owned and controlled by the member banks in their district. The plan hammered out at the Jekyll Island Club in Georgia, for a central bank in the United States, finally came to fruition.

    At the 11:40 minute mark it was stated that Chief Justice John Marshall ruled that the [First] Bank of the United States to be constitutional. The new-view is that he didn’t actually quote on the specifications of the [First] Bank of US Act. Instead, he ruled that Congress has the option to use a corporation to help fulfill its enumerated Constitutional “decision making responsibilities”. That ruling was actually in error because in the 1824 Supreme Court case - Bank of the U.S. v. Planters Bank of Georgia, he stated that Congress had no power over the [First] Bank of the US that wasn’t included in its charter. The charter gave no money control power to Congress. Therefore Congress was enslaved to the decisions made by the {First] Bank’s board of directors. Since Congress couldn’t control the corporation, then how can Congress fulfill its Constitutional responsibility to represent citizens in decisions about money stated in Article 1 Section 8? The answer is it can’t. Justice Marshall actually said it was constitutional for Congress, and thereby citizens, to be enslaved to the decisions of a corporate board of directors. That is the opposite intent of the US Constitution.

    • @joeltraten5967
      @joeltraten5967 10 місяців тому

      Actually, Jackson ended the Second Bank of the United States, which was a Hamiltonian National Bank, one-quarter owned by the federal government, not a wholly privately owned Central Bank.
      Jackson’s Vice President and successor, Martin van Buren, was also a Wall Street banker. There was speculation that van Buren was an illegitimate son of Aaron Burr, so closely did his politics line up with Burr’s.
      It is understandable that many would believe that Andrew Jackson would not be pleased with our Federal Reserve System. Jackson was an anti-Hamiltonian. Alexander Hamilton would be livid with the Federal Reserve, and would not cease political organizing until it was shut down and replaced with a Third Bank of the United States. The National Bank was a critical component of what was known as the American System of political economy, with President Thomas Jefferson’s Treasury Secretary Albert Gallatin noting that each part of the system was dependent upon the operation of the others.
      The Federal Reserve System was designed, in part, to prevent the establishment of a Third Bank of the United States.
      It is often mentioned that as a member of the First Congress, James Madison opposed the National Bank on constitutional grounds. This is correct, however, he did so only after the Pennsylvania delegation defeated an attempt to shorten the Bank’s charter to ten years from twenty, since the seat of the federal government was set to move to Washington, D.C. from Philadelphia in ten years. It was then that Madison devised his constitutional interpretation which did not permit the Bank. At first, Madison was on board with establishing the Bank of the United States.
      Madison would reverse this position again during the Second War for Independence, after realizing his mistake in allowing the Bank of the United States’s charter to expire.

    At the 16:13 mark was the specification (sectioon16.1) that authorized the Fed note to be receivable by all banks. Technically speaking that is different than the statement on the Fed note that it is legal tender for all debt public and private. I was wondering if you had heard anyone else make this point and if they saw how important of a change it was. In other words, does anyone use this difference as one of the tricks the writers of the Fed Act built in that nobody appreciates?

    This is vitally important history. It's strange that it doesn't seem to be covered in school..... What I don't understand (and maybe you will cover this in a subsequent lecture - I will be following along to find out) is how the congress and American people didn't push for a reform of this system after its colossal failure just years later with the Great Depression. Was the argument not that increased flexibility would protect the financial system? The greatest collapse in US history is hardly solid evidence of effective protection.

    19:22 The Federal Reserve Bank Notes were "National Bank Notes" of the individual Federal Reserve banks, with the one other difference that, unlike the National Bank Notes (other than those produced 1908-1915 under the terms of the Aldrich-Vreeland Act), could be backed "by other securities" than only the US Treasury bonds required as backing for all other National Bank Notes."

You and I are also bankers and can apply to the Federal Reserve with these forms of collateral in exchange for Federal Reserve notes, and I believe the debt will be paid. So while the secondary lien on the property when the promissory note was the collateral? We are also the beneficiary of that trust. Securities Trust

    19:18 Actually, the Federal Reserve Bank Note was created in 1915, primarily to help fund the US role in World War I, and ceased production somewhere 1919-1920 as costs of the war came to be absorbed by other modes of currency. The Federal Reserve Note was only revived in 1933 to replace the Gold Certificates and gold coins abruptly withdrawn from circulation with the act of 1933. Otherwise, such withdrawal of such an amount of currency and coin would only have seriously deepened the depression. The $1 United States Note was also created at that time for the same reason, but it was abandoned after only a month when it was recognised that its utility was insignificant at best. The Federal Reserve Bank Note was abandoned mid-1934, this time for keeps, as again, other currencies had expanded to absorb the value of the notes.

    What is money? What is the value of money? Money is a tool used to equalize trade value. It's value is your labor that you contribute to build the society we live in. When you borrow money in the debt based monetary system you have to work to pay back what you owe, plus interest of course. So how do you or why would you borrow your labor from the con men that operate the biggest fraud of all time? We are told we owe 31 trillion dollars in debt to the people who service our bank accounts. A debt that can never be paid back to people we aren't allowed to audit or know their identity for empty promises of a fair and stable currency, that feeds off of and cheats hard working men and women to build a world nobody wants to live in. How is that ok?
    It's not ok. They believe there's nothing we can do to stop them and good intentions forgive their crimes against humanity. Well i want my money back plus interest and penalties and that includes the gold and silver taken from our Treasury and a complete Audit of the Federal Reserve. We do all the work, we pay all the bills and we fight all the wars when the blood gets spilled and this crap where everything is a big secret we don't need to know is going to stop.
