Happy 4th of July . . . Rome ruins U.S. Mail!!

Happy 227th Birthday America!!

1776 --- 2003 A.D.

"Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." (Leviticus 25:10).

Financial liberty was to be obtained for the American people by having all their financial transactions handled though the U.S. Postal Savings Bank. No need for private banks at all except for commercial transactions by business!!

The liberty of Americans was stolen in 1913 with the chartering of the private Federal Reserve Bank, the introduction of the Pope's slave Income Tax, and the passage of the 17th Amendment which allowed Senators to be directly elected to the Senate instead of appointed by the States as the Constitution mandated.

All 3 must go before American liberties are fully restored!!

None of these GREAT men subscribed to the Pharaonic system of government of the "Divine Right" of kings to do WRONG . . . or that a person is qualified to rule over others simply by an accident of birth.

In 1803, Thomas Jefferson almost doubled the size of the United States by buying millions of square miles from the French Empire. This was called the Louisiana Purchase. He was also the founder of the wonderful Library of Congress.

James Madison, fourth President and "Father of the Constitution."

America's FAB 4 or 4 Greatest Presidents.

The inmates of Vatican City State refuse to submit to the lawful Italian government . . . and they are making it very difficult to be a patriotic American citizen nowadays....We celebrate the America that our founding fathers established before it was hijacked by an alien force. 

The genius of the founding fathers was the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The First and Second Amendments to the Constitution have endured for over 200 years. They are under assault today as never before but rock-like they have prevailed over all their enemies. 

Amendment 1

Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Amendment 2

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Patrick Henry

The first 10 Amendments to the Constitution are called the Bill of Rights. They were drafted by James Madison and Patrick Henry was largely responsible for their passage. He was a great Scot whose ancestors came from Hibernia. This is part of his most memorable speech:

"Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

St. John's Church, Richmond, Virginia.

This is the famous church where Patrick Henry gave his famous speech which started the American Revolution.

The reason that the American Revolution succeeded and the United States became a great country was because all of the Founding Fathers were Protestants by profession. They completely rejected this Constantinian union of church and state. 

The early Christians looked for no financial help from the State. They didn't go begging to Caesar or the Roman taxpayers to help them pay for their schools either.

Beware of ANY politician who wants to give financial help to this or that religion or denomination. Like Pope Constantine, he is just preparing the ground for a state religion!! 

This  year marks the 132 birthday of Italy as a united and almost free country with Rome as its Capital.

Giuseppe Garibaldi: the George Washington of Italy.

Another great Liberator who was born on the Fourth of July was the great Italian-American Hero General (Joseph) Giuseppe Garibaldi. Undoubtedly the most popular man of the 19th century, he liberated the Papal States and United Italy. Like General Washington, he fought many a battle to liberate his country. 

The 4th of July is no longer a national holiday in that country and very few remember his great sacrifices on behalf of freedom....General Garibaldi (an American citizen) almost ended up commanding the Union forces under President Lincoln. It is beyond belief that Hollywood never made a movie about this superstar of the 19th century.

The United States of America is bigger than the entire Roman Empire at the time of Pope Constantine. In 1870, Emperor Pius IX had his empire reduced to nothing....It was then that he told his slaves to move to America and take over this great Protestant country to compensate him for the loss of his Empire in Europe!!

Father Jeremiah J. Crowley (Nov. 29, 1861 — ????).

Father Crowley was a great Irish-American hero who gave his life to defend our great public schools from the attacks of the Roman Legions. A priest for 21 years, he tried to reform the corrupt system for within but was met with a stone wall of opposition. Sometime after 1913, he was killed by order of Roman Emperor Pius X.

The United States Postal Service is as American as the Fourth of July. It moves 600.000.000 pieces of mail per day. That's right, 600 million per day. However the U.S. Postal Service is running at a deficit and facing cutbacks in its Saturday delivery service. 

Father Crowley became a martyr for Jesus when he exposed Rome's attempts to censor  and destroy the U.S. Postal System. 

Rome hated the free uncensored U. S. Postal system and did her best to sabotage it at every opportunity. Back then stores were not as common as today and almost everything came through the mail. Most of the great Christian publishers used the mail to send out their books. This was especially so as regards writers and publishers who were warning the people about the Roman threat to their liberties.

Cardinal Falconio - Censor of the U.S. Mail!!

Rome sought to hide her crimes in our beloved land by censoring the mail:

"Nothing more startling has ever been put before the public than Rome's recent resolutions of boycott of the Encyclopedia Britannica, Watson's Magazine, the Protestant Magazine, the Menace, etc., and her attitude as Censor of the United States Mails. At the annual convention of the American Federation of Catholic Societies, held at New Orleans, November 13-16, 1910, resolutions were passed calling for the passage of Federal laws to prevent the transmission by the United States mails of matter offensive to the Roman Catholic Church. In these resolutions post office employees were boldly called upon to destroy, without any warrant of law, any such mail in transit. The leading ecclesiastic at this convention was Archbishop Falconio, Papal Delegate to the Roman Catholic Church in America" (Romanism, A Menace to the Nation, p. 122).

In 1910, by an Act of Congress, the U.S. Postal Savings Bank was born and it was one of the best ideas in the Republic's history. By that time, most civilized countries of the world had a Postal Savings Bank. 

President Theodore Roosevelt's speech on the necessity for a Postal Savings Bank in 1908:

"I again renew my recommendation for postal savings banks, for depositing savings with the security of the Government behind them. The object is to encourage thrift and economy in the wage-earner and person of moderate means. In 14 States the deposits in savings banks as reported to the Comptroller of the Currency amount to $3,590,245,402, or 98.4 per cent of the entire deposits, while in the remaining 32 States there are only $70,308,543, or 1.6 per cent, showing conclusively that there are many localities in the United States where sufficient opportunity is not given to the people to deposit their savings. The result is that money is kept in hiding and unemployed. It is believed that in the aggregate vast sums of money would be brought into circulation through the instrumentality of the postal savings banks. While there are only 1,453 savings banks reporting to the Comptroller there are more than 61,000 post-offices, 40,000 of which are money order offices. Postal savings banks are now in operation in practically all of the great civilized countries with the exception of the United States."

The Postal Savings Bank was officially inaugurated in 1910, during the Administration of President William Howard Taft:

"The second subject worthy of mention in the Post-Office Department is the real necessity and entire practicability of establishing postal savings banks. The successful party at the last election declared in favor of postal savings banks, and although the proposition finds opponents in many parts of the country, I am convinced that the people desire such banks, and am sure that when the banks are furnished they will be productive of the utmost good. The postal savings banks are not constituted for the purpose of creating competition with other banks. The rate of interest upon deposits to which they would be limited would be so small as to prevent their drawing deposits away from other banks. 

"I believe them to be necessary in order to offer a proper inducement to thrift and saving to a great many people of small means who do not now have banking facilities, and to whom such a system would offer an opportunity for the accumulation of capital. They will furnish a satisfactory substitute, based on sound principle and actual successful trial in nearly all the countries of the world, for the system of government guaranty of deposits now being adopted in several western States, which with deference to those who advocate it seems to me to have in it the seeds of demoralization to conservative banking and certain financial disaster. The question of how the money deposited in postal savings banks shall be invested is not free from difficulty, but I believe that a satisfactory provision for this purpose was inserted as an amendment to the bill considered by the Senate at its last session. It has been proposed to delay the consideration of legislation establishing a postal savings bank until after the report of the Monetary Commission. This report is likely to be delayed, and properly so, cause of the necessity for careful deliberation and close investigation. I do not see why the one should be tied up with the other. It is understood that the Monetary Commission have looked into the systems of banking which now prevail abroad, and have found that by a control there exercised in respect to reserves and the rates of exchange by some central authority panics are avoided. It is not apparent that a system of postal savings banks would in any way interfere with a change to such a system here. Certainly in most of the countries of Europe where control is thus exercised by a central authority, postal savings banks exist and are not thought to be inconsistent with a proper financial and banking system." 

By 1913, the Postal Savings Bank was  another great American success story. Here is an article from The Commercial Tribune, Cincinnati, Feb. 6, 1913:

Monfort Explains Postal Savings.St. Xavier's Students Listen to Exposition of Uncle Sam's Bank

Postmaster E. R. Monfort delivered an interesting address on "The Postal Savings Bank" last night, before the department of commerce, accounts, and finance of St. Xavier's College.

  "The postal savings bank" [he said] "is a new department of the greatest business on earth-the banking business. Few people realize the magnitude of the Postal Department. In Cincinnati alone last year over $17,000,000 changed hands in handling the mails. There are 2,650 mail carriers in the city, and the salaries of the deliverers and the railway mail clerks with headquarters in Cincinnati amounted to over $1,000,000.

  "The postal savings bank, although a new department of the Mail Service, has grown so rapidly that it is at present one of the largest. The people put more trust in the postal bankthan they do in the ordinary banks. It is designed merely to protect and take care of the earnings of the working class. Under this system the money that is placed in the care of the Government can be withdrawn at any time. At times, it is said, more than half the money of the world is out of circulation and in the pockets of the people. At such time the circulating money is not sufficient to carry on the business of the world, and a panic follows. The great financiers of the world have been unable to account for these conditions, but many think that this system, by placing cash at the disposal of the poorer people, will greatly lessen the hardships of such panics. 

  "In speaking of the rapid growth of the postal savings bank and its favor with the people, he let the figures speak for themselves. On January 11, 1912, there was in the bank $11,000,000;now there is $30.000.000. On this money the depositors receive 2 percent interest. The Government, however, invests this money so that the department is self-supporting and so far has paid all its own expenses

This staggering sum was reached so quickly even though the maximum deposit was 500 dollars. Most of the depositors were poor and recent immigrants who did not trust the commercial banks and were very familiar with postal savings' banks in their home countries. The minimum age for opening an account was 10. 

The people loved their savings bank and pressure quickly grew to increase the maximum amount. A bill was introduced in Congress in 1914 to repeal this ceiling. It was called the Moon Act. President  Wilson acting under advice of the Roman hierarchy vetoed it because some of the banks receiving deposits were not part of the newly created Federal Reserve System!!

President Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921).

President Woodrow Wilson (another tool of Rome) vetoed the legislation that would have made the Postal Saving Bank another great American success story.

The Income Tax versus the Postal Savings Bank.

In 1913, Rome imposed her slavish INCOME TAX system on the land of the FREE. . . .This was a direct competitor to the Postal Savings Bank. The income tax was an exact duplicate of the feudal Dark Ages Papal income tax:

"In 1166 indulgence was conceded to those contributing to a tax imposed by Henry II in his dominions in response to a papal appeal for aid in behalf of the Holy Land. The tax was two pence from each pound of the payer's revenues and from each pound's worth of his personal property for one year, and one penny there from for each of the four succeeding years. Henry's instructions to his French subjects arranged for chests with three locks, of which the priest and two parishioners should have the keys, to be located in every parish church. Each contributor was to compute his liability under oath and deposit the resulting sum in the chest. Whoever observed his oath scrupulously would be relieved of one-third of his enjoined penance. For this decree the king had the approval of a council of barons and bishops, but whether the indulgence was authorized by the bishops or by the pope does not appear" (Papal Revenues during the Middle Ages, vol. I,  p.115).

Wall Street versus the Postal Savings Bank.

Wall Street Crash of 1929.

The Great Depression orchestrated from Rome began in 1929 with the Wall Street Crash. 30 BILLION dollars was lost in ONE Day. Billions that should have been deposited in the Postal Savings Bank were speculated away by the greedy Wall Street bankers. 

By this time the Federal Reserve Banking system had a complete monopoly on the money supply and they refused to loosen the credit to the nation.

The Great Depression led to the rise of Fascism in Europe and Japan. This led to the Second World War, the Cold War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the usurping of the Government by the Pentagon, the Police State, etc., etc.

Editor's Notes

One dollar in 1913 was the equivalent to about 30 dollars today, so 30 million dollars would be about 600 million dollars at today's exchange rate. This was the increase in just 2 years even though the maximum deposit was 500 dollars.

The British Post Office Savings Bank is the world's oldest, it was founded in 1861.

Japan financed their industrial revolution through her Postal Savings Bank. It is one of the largest banks in the world right now with deposits of $10 TRILLION. 

China also discovered the Postal Savings Bank 10 years ago.

The U.S. Postal Savings Bank was discontinued in 1970 during the Presidency of Richard Nixon.
