I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.

3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)

hi Jim,

been a while since i checked out your site, love seeing the updates! Really interesting stuff! Good news too!

Great post about Thomas Jefferson, one question, didn't he cut up the bible? Figured you would know if it was true!

Thanks! BTW, are you having your photo class this summer?

mark,

good to hear from you. i have no idea if He did or not. I heard something about maybe he cut out the super natural parts??? not sure, but his quote was sure powerful and prophetic i'd say.

as for the class, I am planning on having it mid august, I need to get on promoting that. my time is pretty full this summer, late july going to africa on a Grace Ormonde Cover shoot on location in Tanzania among kids and filters etc. with Mike Colon, it's a workshop too ($3500 plus airfare) but amazing and all proceeds benefit thirst relief! then later on in the summer going to africa again for a documentary film making of thirst relief's work, donated by bob davis and anton lorimer!!! so, it will be hard to fit it in but it'd be a great class! are you interested in attending?
