Possibly you are unaware of how the 1913 Federal Reserve was revamped by the banking acts of the 1930's . Admittedly, the 1913 version makes for a much more sinisterNot "central banking", but "private central banks", particularly the private central bank of the U.S. - the Federal Reserve, created in 1913 by fraud, and in express violation of Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.
You will find most of the crucial details in Eustace Mullins' book "The Secrets of the Federal Reserve" (1952). I also recommend books by Irwin Schiff (died in federal prison a couple of years ago as a political prisoner):
- The Federal Mafia
- The Biggest Con - How the Government is Fleecing You
As for banking chaos in the 1800s, they were almost exclusively created by well-connected robber barons plotting to form or revive private central banks - especially the First Bank of the United States and the Second Bank of the United States. Similar tactics & strategies were employed in creating the Federal Reserve.
You are misinformed. You might want to start questioning your sources.
If there was a statute that would permit the government to take your property without your consent or knowledge, would you accept it?
