    About this ebook

    There were many that were involved in the creation and maintenance of our monetary system, including Sherman, Jefferson, Jackson, Smith, Lincoln and others. But then we find that in four easy steps, carefully planned and quietly implemented between 1913 and 1965, our monetary system was completely dismantled and replaced with a valueless counterfeit. This has left our country with massive debt and inflation.
