Upon this capital (commandeered at a petty 6 per cent) and from its gigantic deposits (conscripted at no per cent) this super-vampire Federal Reserve System has in a few brief years--after paying stupendously extravagant expense accounts--piled up an accumulated pillage of $215,523,000. Do you know or do you know of anybody who does know--outside the magic circle of Hebraic pawnbrokery pillagement--of any such banking pillagement for the years 1914-1921, inclusive? And incidentally these mazuma monarchs have $42,231,240 invested in the palatial emporiums where they ply their traffic and gild their pills of pillage--to which reference will later be made. Why don't you find these facts elsewhere? Why have they been hidden from you? Why doesn't the "Independent Press"--about as "independent" as a shackled slave--blazon them forth? Why don't editors of "Fearless Magazines"--about as "fearless" as a galley slave at the oars--ring the tocsin of alarm? Learn why here and now. Because in plain Americanese, they haven't the "guts." These Federal Reserve money despots have the press of this land "buffaloed" and "hog-tied"--and "hog"-tied is particularly right too. Through their credit channels these Federal Reserve despots have a strangle hold on the banks and on the advertisers of the U.S.A. and the banks and the advertisers have a strangle hold on the press and there you are! Federal Reserve propaganda tinted and tainted with the extract of gold is published by the yard. But the real facts, the interesting details of pillage are all surrounded by Maxim silencers! The next chapter will tell you of the Partiality of the Pillage. CHAPTER VIII THE PARTIALITY OF THE PILLAGE HERE is the idea. For reasons best known to themselves Federal Reserve Oligarchs penalize production and favor parasitism. Who are really entitled to the largest loans from the huge storage or reservoir of Federal Reserve money? Why, the real producers of the real wealth, the agricultural interests in the U.S.A. Have they had it? They have not. Look at the figures--official, please remember--as of January 1, 1920, when the Federal Reserve "Drastic Deflation" Drama was beginning to be staged. At this time the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta was lending to all its member banks in the States of Georgia, Florida, Alabama and parts of Louisiana, Tennessee and Mississippi a total of $88,000,000 and had "bought paper" to a total of $16,000,000--and that included some $10,000,000 which it was loaning to other Federal Reserve Banks, principally in the North for speculative loans. Mark that down--$94,000,000 of loans covering that enormous area of production.
