Monday, January 21st 2008 — Christopher Hansen
In Extrême-Occident: French Intellectuals and America (1993 University of Chicago Press) author Jean-Philippe Mathy writing about a French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre wrote:
“Already, before the war,” he informed the reader, “every single home had a fridge, many a car and a telephone. In every kitchen one could find fancy corkscrews and can openers, electric ovens, etc.” (2 February 1945) Modernity does not lie in gadgets alone, however; it is also an ethos, a specific economic behavior: the religion of credit.
What is credit? Have you ever stopped to consider how it affects your daily life? People every day are destroyed by credit while “Merchants” and Bankers enrich themselves on the misery of others as these Bankers and Merchants CREATE credit with Bank entries allowable under our evil fractional reserve system which is, itself, built upon “Securities” of the United States, which “Securities” include YOUR LABOR.
Did you know that our monetary system is based almost entirely on credit? Although we do have gold and silver “dollar” coins in circulation since 1986 AD, Jefferson understood why few people ever see them:
“Experience has proved to us that a dollar of silver disappears for every dollar of paper emitted.” -Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 1791.
The Greenbacks you carry in your wallets and purses are only evidence of “CREDIT”? That is why they are called “notes” and must be “redeemed” in “lawful money.” Of course there is no current legal definition of “lawful money” so the Federal Reserve and the Department of the Treasury just defraud you and give you more “ghost money.”
Again Jefferson understood the facts:
“Paper is poverty,… it is only the ghost of money, and not money itself.” —Thomas Jefferson to Edward Carrington, 1788.
So what is the history of the word “CREDIT” and why are those in power intent upon keeping the Established Religion of America, the “Religion of Credit.”
Any of you that had an ounce of moral decency that also followed the Kahre/Loglia trail in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2007 AD watched the judge (the priest of this Religion of Credit) do all he could to defend his Religion. We watched in horror as the judge refused to even consider the FACTS that these Federal reserve notes are not “dollars,” not money itself and have never been declared to be dollars. This judge personally defended the established “faith” of the United States and allowed no evidence to the contrary.
This New American Civil Religion of Credit is a religion based on Faith for that is what Credit is: Faith. Credit comes from the Latin creditum “a…thing entrusted to another,” and from credere “to trust, entrust, believe.” (On line Entomology Dictionary © 2001)
Do the words from Article. IV. Section. 1. ring in your ears like they did in mine when I learned that Credit really meant “faith”?
Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State…
Most Americans trust and/or believe in “their Creator” who granted them “certain unalienable Rights.” They freely choose which religion or faith they will follow. But they choose their faith only after they are forced to use the established faith of the United States to survive economically. The “full Faith and Credit” of the United States, if you will, which we are forced to use: Federal reserve “faith” notes.
Our Government has violated the Constitution, with the open and blatant support of the Cult of the Black Robe and are emitting bills of credit, by granting this power to the Federal Reserve Banking interests. This way Congress, which is required by the Constitution to “coin” and “regulate the value” of money, do not actually do it themselves. Instead they granted a power to a private bank to print the “money” of our nation when they did not have the authority to do it themselves.
“Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.” Amschel Mayer Rothschild, 1838
Government cannot grant a power to a private bank that they, themselves, do not possess and yet that is exactly the “color of law” that we are forced to worship under. Mr. George Read, signer of the Constitution from Delaware, said this power to print paper money was “as alarming as the mark of the Beast in Revelations.”
Most Americans are forced to participate (exercise) in this ‘faith” today with every so-called financial transaction. This monetary “faith” can ONLY lead to our ruin according, once again, to Jefferson:
“It is a [disputed] question, whether the circulation of paper, rather than of specie, is a good or an evil… I believe it to be one of those cases where mercantile clamor will bear down reason, until it is corrected by ruin.” —Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813
The Constitution of the United States did not grant Congress the power to have “faith” in the monetary system. They could not for that would have been the establishment of a faith. That is why the Founding Fathers did not give the power to create paper money or “bills of credit” to Congress or any other branch and also restricted the States from emitting bills of Credit (paper money) and required them to make gold and silver in tender of payment of debt ( Art. I Sec 10) of this, then, soon to be created Constitutional Republic.
The fact that the Government could NOT print paper money is evidenced in The Debates in the Federal Convention of 1787 reported by James Madison, August 16 we read:
Mr. Govr. MORRIS moved to strike out “and emit bills on the credit of the U. States“-If the United States had credit such bills would be unnecessary: if they had not, unjust & useless.
Mr. ELSEWORTH thought this a favorable moment to shut and bar the door against paper money. The mischiefs of the various experiments which had been made, were now fresh in the public mind and had excited the disgust of all the respectable part of America. By witholding the power from the new Governt. more friends of influence would be gained to it than by almost any thing else. Paper money can in no case be necessary. Give the Government credit, and other resources will offer. The power may do harm, never good.
Mr. BUTLER. remarked that paper was a legal tender in no Country in Europe. He was urgent for disarming the Government of such a power.
Mr. READ, thought the words, if not struck out, would be as alarming as the mark of the Beast in Revelations.
On the motion for striking out: N.H. ay. Mas. ay. Ct ay. N.J. no. Pa. ay. Del. ay. Md. no. Va. ay. N. C. ay. S. C. ay. Geo. ay.
“This vote in the affirmative by Virgina was occasioned by the acquiescence of Mr. Madison who became satisfied that striking out the words would not disable the Govt. from the use of public notes as far as they could be safe & proper; & would only cut off the pretext for a paper currency, and particularly for making the bills a tender either for public or private debts.” (These words were written by Madison himself, not this reporter.)
Due to the constant threat of verbicide I was once again forced to Webster’s 1828 AD dictionary so I could know the EXACT meaning of Madison’s use of the words “cut off the pretext for a paper currency.**
Pretext: Pretense; false appearance; ostensible reason or motive assigned or assumed as a color or cover for the real reason or motive. He gave plausible reasons for this conduct, but these were only a pretext to conceal his real motives. Webster’s 1828 AD dictionary
Therefore the Founding Fathers, voting for their States, voted 9 to 2 against allowing the “U. States” “new Governt.” to make paper currency as a tender for either public or private debts. And yet you must have read the Federal Reserve notes you carry. “This note is legal tender for all debts public and private”
Could it be any more clear? THE POWER TO PRINT PAPER MONEY WAS NOT GIVEN TO THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
“An unconstitutional act is not law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed.” –Norton vs. Shelby County, 118 US 425 p.442
The Religion of Faith and the Federal Reserve.
We have a monetary system based on faith. Faith is a belief in things unseen, like the unseen and unknown law that makes Federal reserve notes: “dollars.” It is faith in that Congress has defined the value and meaning of the monetary measurement unit of America, which is the dollar, when, in truth, the dollar has not been defined, in law, in decades. It is the “established “faith” of the United States that entrusts the Federal Reserve Banking system instead of tying down the government with a definition of dollar and with the chains of the Constitution.
[L]et no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the constitution…” The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Volume 30: 1 January 1798 to 31 January 1799
I always thought that I knew what credit was. But after my continuing studies about verbicide, civil religion, and how they have been used to destroy American liberty, the more I find how often it is done to hide the truth from just regular Americans.
Verbicide is a relatively new English word. It means the murder of a word or its intentional misuse. It was first coined by the famous English author and Oxford professor C. S. Lewis, but its dangers have been recognized for millennia. Confucius circa 500 B. C. is reported to have said: “When words lose their meaning, people will lose their liberty.”
Verbicide is a powerful and dangerous weapon in American Law that has been used by the enemies of liberty to quietly steal our liberty and destroy the Constitution. Senator Sam Ervin, of Watergate hearing fame, understood this verbicide and its possible effects on law and the Constitution. He said:
“[J]udicial verbicide is calculated to convert the Constitution into a worthless scrap of paper and to replace our government of laws with a judicial oligarchy.”
But truth can sneak through about how Americans lose their liberty through verbicide and its apparent never ending use as a weapon against liberty.
Why is credit a religion? you may ask. Let us read the words of Speaker Martin R. Stephens, Utah House of Representatives, Opening Session Remarks, January 19, 2004
“There seems to be developing a new civil religion. The civil religion I refer to is a secular religion. It has no moral absolutes. It is non-denominational. It is non-theistic. It is politically focused. It is antagonistic to religion. It rejects the historic religious traditions of this nation. It feels strange. If this trend continues, non-belief will be more honored than belief. While all beliefs must be protected, are atheism, agnosticism, cynicism, and moral relativism to be more safeguarded and valued than Christianity, Judaism, and the tenets of Islam which hold that there is a Supreme Being and that mortals are accountable to him? If so, this would, in my opinion, place this nation in great moral jeopardy.”
The Religion of Credit is a Civil Religion so it is non-denominational and non-theistic.
But let us also review the Bible and its warnings remembering that the Monetary rules of the Constitutional are DIRECTLY based upon biblical teachings of equal weights and measures:
Rev. 18:2 Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her (Babylon’s) fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication (economic intercourse) with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies….
15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her…
23 …for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; **for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
So have we been deceived by these merchant sorcerers that make money appear out of a hat? Men that can loan money at rate of 10 times of that which they have. And in truth they do not even have the single dollar but only “securities” of the United States, which are nothing more than promises to pay.
It is credit built upon credit built upon debt. It is “faith.”
But why cannot the average American not see what has happened to them and why they have been enslaved? For that we turn to the words of the Rothschilds ,master sorcerers, themselves:
“The few who can understand the system…will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantages that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical (adverse) to their interests.” Rothschild Brothers. London, June 25, 1863 – Lightning Over The Treasury Building, J.R. Elsom
Or let us read to words of world-renown economist John Maynard Keynes from book The Economic Consequences of the Peace:
“Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.”
Then let us review the warnings of Jefferson:
“Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains.” —Thomas Jefferson to Horatio G. Spafford, 1814. ME 14:119
This Religion of Credit is a secular religion. It has no moral absolutes. It is non-denominational. It is non-theistic. It is politically focused. It is antagonistic to religion. It rejects the historic religious traditions of this nation. It feels strange.but can there be any real doubt that it have become the established “faith” in the United States? If you disagree just look in your wallet.
Here is what Noah Webster declared in 1802 AD about the Religion of our Republic and the only religion that a free government could be establish upon:
If there is a possibility of founding a perfectly free government, and giving it permanent duration, it must be raised upon the pure maxims, and supported by the undecaying practice, of that religion, which breathes “peace on earth, and good will to men.” That religion is perfectly republican… it is calculated to humble the pride and allay the discontents of men… it restrains the magistrate from oppression, and the subject from revolt… it secures a perfect equality of rights, by enjoining a discharge of all social duties, and a strict subordination to law.
The Religion of Credit is anathema to “That religion [which]is perfectly republican.
Why is it anathema to that religion, which breathes “peace on earth, and good will to men”? Once again we turn to the man that gave us the famous quote of building a wall of separation between church and state, remembering that a single quote by Jefferson was used to remove prayer to God from the schools by the Courts while these same courts will not allow the quotes of Jefferson into their courtroom (temples) that decry the falicy of their established faith.
That wall of separation needs to be built around this New American Civil Religion of debauched currency, bills of credit and ghost money so that we can exercise our own faith and not be forced into the faith of the soon to be fallen Babylon.
Here are some of words of Jefferson on real money and ghost money.
“Specie is the most perfect medium because it will preserve its own level; because, having intrinsic and universal value, it can never die in our hands, and it is the surest resource of reliance in time of war.” —Thomas Jefferson to John Wayles Eppes, 1813.
“That paper money has some advantages is admitted. But that its abuses also are inevitable and, by breaking up the measure of value, makes a lottery of all private property, cannot be denied. —Thomas Jefferson to Josephus B. Stuart, 1817.
“The trifling economy of paper, as a cheaper medium, or its convenience for transmission, weighs nothing in opposition to the advantages of the precious metals… it is liable to be abused, has been, is, and forever will be abused, in every country in which it is permitted.” —Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813.
“Scenes are now to take place as will open the eyes of credulity and of insanity itself, to the dangers of a paper medium abandoned to the discretion of avarice and of swindlers.” —Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Cooper, 1814.
“The States should be applied to, to transfer the right of issuing circulating paper to Congress exclusively, in perpetuum.” —Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813.
“The evils of this deluge of paper money are not to be removed until our citizens are generally and radically instructed in their cause and consequences, and silence by their authority the interested clamors and sophistry of speculating, shaving, and banking institutions. Till then, we must be content to return quoad hoc to the savage state, to recur to barter in the exchange of our property for want of a stable common measure of value, that now in use being less fixed than the beads and wampum of the Indian, and to deliver up our citizens, their property and their labor, passive victims to the swindling tricks of bankers and mountebankers.” —Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 1819.
“Private fortunes, in the present state of our circulation, are at the mercy of those self-created money lenders, and are prostrated by the floods of nominal money with which their avarice deluges us.” —Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813.
“It is a cruel thought, that, when we feel ourselves standing on the firmest ground in every respect, the cursed arts of our secret enemies, combining with other causes, should effect, by depreciating our money, what the open arms of a powerful enemy could not.” —Thomas Jefferson to Richard Henry Lee, 1779.
“I now deny [the Federal Government’s] power of making paper money or anything else a legal tender.” —Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1798.
“In such a nation [as ours], there is one and one only resource for loans, sufficient to carry them through the expense of a war; and that will always be sufficient, and in the power of an honest government, punctual in the preservation of its faith. The fund I mean, is the mass of circulating coin. Everyone knows, that although not literally, it is nearly true, that every paper dollar emitted banishes a silver one from the circulation. A nation, therefore, making its purchases and payments with bills fitted for circulation, thrusts an equal sum of coin out of circulation. This is equivalent to borrowing that sum, and yet the vendor receiving payment in a medium as effectual as coin for his purchases or payments, has no claim to interest. And so the nation may continue to issue its bills as far as its wants require, and the limits of the circulation will admit… But this, the only resource which the government could command with certainty, the States have unfortunately fooled away, nay corruptly alienated to swindlers and shavers, under the cover of private banks.” —Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813.
“One of three great measures necessary to insure us permanent prosperity… should insure resources of money by the suppression of all paper circulation during peace, and licensing that of the nation alone during war. The metallic medium of which we should be possessed at the commencement of a war, would be a sufficient fund for all the loans we should need through its continuance; and if the national bills issued be bottomed (as is indispensable) on pledges of specific taxes for their redemption within certain and moderate epochs, and be of proper denominations for circulation, no interest on them would be necessary or just, because they would answer to everyone the purposes of the metallic money withdrawn and replaced by them.” —Thomas Jefferson to William H. Crawford, 1816.
“Our public credit is good, but the abundance of paper has produced a spirit of gambling in the funds, which has laid up our ships at the wharves as too slow instruments of profit, and has even disarmed the hand of the tailor of his needle and thimble. They say the evil will cure itself. I wish it may; but I have rarely seen a gamester cured, even by the disasters of his vocation.” —Thomas Jefferson to Gouverneur Morris, 1791.
“All the capital employed in paper speculation is barren and useless, producing, like that on a gaming table, no accession to itself, and is withdrawn from commerce and agriculture where it would have produced addition to the common mass… It nourishes in our citizens habits of vice and idleness instead of industry and morality… It has furnished effectual means of corrupting such a portion of the legislature as turns the balance between the honest voters whichever way it is directed.” —Thomas Jefferson to George Washington, 1792.
“We are now taught to believe that legerdemain tricks upon paper can produce as solid wealth as hard labor in the earth. It is vain for common sense to urge that nothing can produce but nothing; that it is an idle dream to believe in a philosopher’s stone which is to turn everything into gold, and to redeem man from the original sentence of his Maker, ‘in the sweat of his brow shall he eat his bread.’” —Thomas Jefferson to Charles Yancey, 1816.

Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State…
Most Americans trust and/or believe in “their Creator” who granted them “certain unalienable Rights.” They freely choose which religion or faith they will follow.

The Constitution of the United States did not grant Congress the power to have “faith” in the monetary system. They could not for that would have been the establishment of a faith. That is why the Founding Fathers did not give the power to create paper money or “bills of credit” to Congress or any other branch and also restricted the States from emitting bills of Credit (paper money) and required them to make gold and silver in tender of payment of debt ( Art.

The Religion of Faith and the Federal Reserve.

I always thought that I knew what credit was. But after my continuing studies about verbicide, civil religion, and how they have been used to destroy American liberty, the more I find how often it is done to hide the truth from just regular Americans.
Verbicide is a relatively new English word. It means the murder of a word or its intentional misuse. It was first coined by the famous English author and Oxford professor C. S.

Why is credit a religion? you may ask. Let us read the words of Speaker Martin R. Stephens, Utah House of Representatives, Opening Session Remarks, January 19, 2004
“There seems to be developing a new civil religion. The civil religion I refer to is a secular religion. It has no moral absolutes. It is non-denominational. It is non-theistic.

The Religion of Credit is a Civil Religion so it is non-denominational and non-theistic.
But let us also review the Bible and its warnings remembering that the Monetary rules of the Constitutional are DIRECTLY based upon biblical teachings of equal weights and measures:
Rev. 18:2 Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her (Babylon’s) fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication (economic intercourse) with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies….
15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her…

The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.”
Then let us review the warnings of Jefferson:
“Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains.” —Thomas Jefferson to Horatio G. Spafford, 1814. ME 14:119
This Religion of Credit is a secular religion. It has no moral absolutes. It is non-denominational. It is non-theistic. It is politically focused. It is antagonistic to religion. It rejects the historic religious traditions of this nation. It feels strange.but can there be any real doubt that it have become the established “faith” in the United States? If you disagree just look in your wallet.
Here is what Noah Webster declared in 1802 AD about the Religion of our Republic and the only religion that a free government could be establish upon:
If there is a possibility of founding a perfectly free government, and giving it permanent duration, it must be raised upon the pure maxims, and supported by the undecaying practice, of that religion, which breathes “peace on earth, and good will to men.” That religion is perfectly republican… it is calculated to humble the pride and allay the discontents of men… it restrains the magistrate from oppression, and the subject from revolt… it secures a perfect equality of rights, by enjoining a discharge of all social duties, and a strict subordination to law.
The Religion of Credit is anathema to “That religion [which]is perfectly republican.
Why is it anathema to that religion, which breathes “peace on earth, and good will to men”? Once again we turn to the man that gave us the famous quote of building a wall of separation between church and state, remembering that a single quote by Jefferson was used to remove prayer to God from the schools by the Courts while these same courts will not allow the quotes of Jefferson into their courtroom (temples) that decry the falicy of their established faith.
That wall of separation needs to be built around this New American Civil Religion of debauched currency, bills of credit and ghost money so that we can exercise our own faith and not be forced into the faith of the soon to be fallen Babylon.
Here are some of words of Jefferson on real money and ghost money.
“Specie is the most perfect medium because it will preserve its own level; because, having intrinsic and universal value, it can never die in our hands, and it is the surest resource of reliance in time of war.” —Thomas Jefferson to John Wayles Eppes, 1813.
“That paper money has some advantages is admitted. But that its abuses also are inevitable and, by breaking up the measure of value, makes a lottery of all private property, cannot be denied. —Thomas Jefferson to Josephus B. Stuart, 1817.
“The trifling economy of paper, as a cheaper medium, or its convenience for transmission, weighs nothing in opposition to the advantages of the precious metals… it is liable to be abused, has been, is, and forever will be abused, in every country in which it is permitted.” —Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813.
“Scenes are now to take place as will open the eyes of credulity and of insanity itself, to the dangers of a paper medium abandoned to the discretion of avarice and of swindlers.” —Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Cooper, 1814.
“The States should be applied to, to transfer the right of issuing circulating paper to Congress exclusively, in perpetuum.” —Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813.
“The evils of this deluge of paper money are not to be removed until our citizens are generally and radically instructed in their cause and consequences, and silence by their authority the interested clamors and sophistry of speculating, shaving, and banking institutions. Till then, we must be content to return quoad hoc to the savage state, to recur to barter in the exchange of our property for want of a stable common measure of value, that now in use being less fixed than the beads and wampum of the Indian, and to deliver up our citizens, their property and their labor, passive victims to the swindling tricks of bankers and mountebankers.” —Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 1819.
“Private fortunes, in the present state of our circulation, are at the mercy of those self-created money lenders, and are prostrated by the floods of nominal money with which their avarice deluges us.” —Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813.
“It is a cruel thought, that, when we feel ourselves standing on the firmest ground in every respect, the cursed arts of our secret enemies, combining with other causes, should effect, by depreciating our money, what the open arms of a powerful enemy could not.” —Thomas Jefferson to Richard Henry Lee, 1779.
“I now deny [the Federal Government’s] power of making paper money or anything else a legal tender.” —Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1798.
“In such a nation [as ours], there is one and one only resource for loans, sufficient to carry them through the expense of a war; and that will always be sufficient, and in the power of an honest government, punctual in the preservation of its faith. The fund I mean, is the mass of circulating coin. Everyone knows, that although not literally, it is nearly true, that every paper dollar emitted banishes a silver one from the circulation. A nation, therefore, making its purchases and payments with bills fitted for circulation, thrusts an equal sum of coin out of circulation. This is equivalent to borrowing that sum, and yet the vendor receiving payment in a medium as effectual as coin for his purchases or payments, has no claim to interest. And so the nation may continue to issue its bills as far as its wants require, and the limits of the circulation will admit… But this, the only resource which the government could command with certainty, the States have unfortunately fooled away, nay corruptly alienated to swindlers and shavers, under the cover of private banks.” —Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813.
“One of three great measures necessary to insure us permanent prosperity… should insure resources of money by the suppression of all paper circulation during peace, and licensing that of the nation alone during war. The metallic medium of which we should be possessed at the commencement of a war, would be a sufficient fund for all the loans we should need through its continuance; and if the national bills issued be bottomed (as is indispensable) on pledges of specific taxes for their redemption within certain and moderate epochs, and be of proper denominations for circulation, no interest on them would be necessary or just, because they would answer to everyone the purposes of the metallic money withdrawn and replaced by them.” —Thomas Jefferson to William H. Crawford, 1816.
“Our public credit is good, but the abundance of paper has produced a spirit of gambling in the funds, which has laid up our ships at the wharves as too slow instruments of profit, and has even disarmed the hand of the tailor of his needle and thimble. They say the evil will cure itself. I wish it may; but I have rarely seen a gamester cured, even by the disasters of his vocation.” —Thomas Jefferson to Gouverneur Morris, 1791.
“All the capital employed in paper speculation is barren and useless, producing, like that on a gaming table, no accession to itself, and is withdrawn from commerce and agriculture where it would have produced addition to the common mass… It nourishes in our citizens habits of vice and idleness instead of industry and morality… It has furnished effectual means of corrupting such a portion of the legislature as turns the balance between the honest voters whichever way it is directed.” —Thomas Jefferson to George Washington, 1792.
“We are now taught to believe that legerdemain tricks upon paper can produce as solid wealth as hard labor in the earth. It is vain for common sense to urge that nothing can produce but nothing; that it is an idle dream to believe in a philosopher’s stone which is to turn everything into gold, and to redeem man from the original sentence of his Maker, ‘in the sweat of his brow shall he eat his bread.’” —Thomas Jefferson to Charles Yancey, 1816.
