In the United States, usury has become an accepted practice cloaked in the legitimacy of modern banking, bleeding Americans dry under the guise of economic necessity. The Federal Reserve, a privately controlled central bank, sits at the heart of this exploitative system. Its grip on the issuance of our currency and manipulation of interest rates has created a perpetual cycle of debt dependency for individuals and the nation alike.
Usury, by its very definition, is the charging of exorbitant or unethical interest on loans—a practice once condemned as immoral and even illegal. Yet today, we live in a society where credit card interest rates regularly exceed 20% and payday loans trap the most vulnerable in financial bondage. This isn’t just an economic problem; it’s a moral failure.
The Federal Reserve, established in 1913, is neither federal nor a true reserve. It operates as a consortium of private banks with the authority to print money out of thin air and lend it to the government at interest. Every dollar printed represents debt, not value. This system ensures that the U.S. government—and by extension, the American people—are forever indebted. This is the very definition of usury on a national scale, with devastating consequences for our sovereignty.
Contrast this with President John F. Kennedy’s bold move in 1963. Through Executive Order 11110, Kennedy authorized the issuance of United States Notes, bypassing the Federal Reserve and allowing the Treasury to print debt-free currency backed by the nation’s silver reserves. This action posed a direct challenge to the Federal Reserve’s monopoly on money creation.
Tragically, six months later, Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, and the issuance of United States Notes quietly ceased. While conspiracy theories abound, the timing cannot be ignored. Kennedy’s attempt to return monetary power to the people was a direct threat to entrenched financial interests that profit from our debt-based system.
The American people must demand an end to this system of institutionalized usury. Dismantling the Federal Reserve is not a fringe idea—it’s a necessary step toward reclaiming our economic freedom. The government should resume its constitutional authority to issue currency directly, free from interest and private control.
Imagine an America where the dollar is a representation of value, not a tool of debt. Imagine a country where predatory interest rates are outlawed, and financial institutions serve the public good rather than exploit it. This vision is not only possible but essential for the survival of a truly free and sovereign nation.
The fight against usury and the Federal Reserve is a fight for the soul of our republic. It’s time to honor Kennedy’s legacy by finishing what he started—restoring monetary sovereignty to the people of the United States. Only then can we break free from the chains of perpetual debt and reclaim the promise of liberty and justice for all.
