Best G Edward Griffin Quotes
- “To oppose corruption in government is the highest obligation of patriotism.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
- “The reason it is difficult is that we have been conditioned to laugh at conspiracy theories, and few people will risk public ridicule by advocating them. On the other hand, to endorse the accidental view is absurd. Almost all of history is an unbroken trail of one conspiracy after another. Conspiracies are the norm, not the exception.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
- “The American people have no idea they are paying the bill. They know that someone is stealing their hubcaps, but they think it is the greedy businessman who raises prices or the selfish laborer who demands higher wages or the unworthy farmer who demands too much for his crop or the wealthy foreigner who bids up our prices. They do not realize that these groups also are victimized by a monetary system which is constantly being eroded in value by and through the Federal Reserve System.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
-
“Those who are not interested in politics will be forever ruled by those who are.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
- “The past record of man is burdened with accounts of assasinations, secret combines, palace plots and betrayals in war. But in spite of this clear record, an amazing number of people have begun to scoff at the possibility of conspiracy at work today. They dismiss such an idea merely a conspiratorial point of view.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
- “Collectivists would have you believe that individualism is merely another word for selfishness, because individualists oppose welfare and other forms of coercive redistribution of wealth, but just the opposite is true. Individualists advocate true charity, which is the voluntary giving of their own money, while collectivists advocate the coercive giving of other people’s money; which, of course, is why it is so popular.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
- “To cover the fact that a central bank is merely a cartel which has been legalized, its proponents had to lay down a thick smoke screen of technical jargon focusing always on how it would supposedly benefit commerce, the public, and the nation… there was not the slightest glimmer that underneath it all, was a master plan which was designed from top to bottom to serve private interests at the expense of the public… the system is merely a cartel with a government facade.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
-
“Guns are dangerous. The only thing more dangerous is not having them.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
- “Collectivism and freedom are mortal enemies. Only one will survive” ~ G. Edward Griffin
- “When banks place credits into your account, they are merely pretending to lend you money. In reality, they have nothing to lend. Even the money that non-indebted depositors have placed with them was originally created out of nothing in response to someone else’s loan. So what entitles the banks to collect rent on nothing? It is immaterial that men everywhere are forced by law to accept these nothing certificates in exchange for real goods and services. We are talking here not about what is legal, but what is moral.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
- “By remaining behind the scenes, they (the Rothschilds) were able to avoid the brunt of public anger which was directed, instead, at the political figures which they largely controlled.

-
“Financial dependence on the state is the foundation of modern serfdom.” ~ G. Edward Griffin

Edward Griffin
-
“Error is better than apathy. Error can be corrected in time to change the outcome. Apathy is seldom corrected until it is too late.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
- “In truth, money is not created until the instant it is borrowed. It is the act of borrowing which causes it to spring into existence. And, incidentally, it is the act of paying off the debt that causes it to vanish.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
- “The European powers had been anxious to see the United States become embroiled in a civil war and eventually break into two smaller and weaker nations. That would pave the way for their further colonization of Latin American without fear of the Americans being able to enforce the Monroe Doctrine.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
- “No one in America fully understands the constantly changing Internal Revenue Code. Agents of the IRS do not, judges do not, congressmen do not, and most assuredly taxpayers do not.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
- “First, it is providing a means whereby key individuals on its payroll are able to obtain both power and wealth through granting special favors to certain politically influential groups that are subject to its regulation.

-
“Life is hollow without health and freedom. To seek one while ignoring the other is folly.” ~ G. Edward Griffin

- “Many Southern Plantation owners were working towards the day when they could convert their investment to more profitable industrial production as had been done in the North, and others felt that freemen who were paid wages would be more efficient than slaves who had no incentive to work. For the present, however, they were stuck with the system they inherited. They felt that a complete and sudden abolition of slavery with no transition period would destroy their economy and leave many of the former slaves to starve – all of which actually happened in due course.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
- “[…] it is generally accepted that the Civil War was fought over the issue of slavery. That, at best, is a half-truth. Slavery was an issue, but the primary force for war was a clash between the economic interests of the North and the South. Even the issue of slavery itself was based on economics.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
- “There is much evidence indicating that the Capitalistic and Communist conspiracies BOTH are directed by a single master conspiracy which may have continuity with the Order of the Illuminati which was founded 200 years ago.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
-
“Rights and responsibilities are … different sides of the same coin.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
- “American banks may have been unable to supply adequate loans, but the Rothschild consortium in Britain was both able and willing. It was during this time that the Rothschilds were consolidating their new industrial holdings in the United States through their agent, August Belmont. Derek Wilson tells us: “They owned or had major shareholdings in Central American ironworks, North American canal construction companies, and a multiplicity of other concerns. They became the major importers of bullion from the newly discovered goldfields”.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
- “Converting the war into an antislavery crusade was a brilliant move on Lincoln’s part, and it resulted in a surge of voluntary recruits into the Union army. But this did not last. Northerners may have disapproved of slavery in the South but, once the bloodletting began in earnest, their willingness to die for that conviction began to wane. […] Lincoln faced the embarrassing reality that he soon would have no army to carry on the crusade.” ~ G. Edward Griffin

- “During the fiscal year ending in 1861, expenses of the federal government had been $67 million. After the first year of armed conflict, they were $475 million and, by 1865, had risen to one billion, three-hundred million dollars. On the income side of the ledger, taxes covered only about eleven percent of that figure. By the end of the war, the deficit had risen to $2.61 billion. That money had to come from somewhere.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
- “In the North, neither greenbacks, taxes, nor war bonds were enough to finance the war. So a national banking system was created to convert government bonds into fiat money, and the people lost over half of their monetary assets to the hidden tax of inflation. In the South, printing presses accomplished the same effect, and the monetary loss was total.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
-
“The gates of heaven surely are closed to those who decline to oppose totalitarianism with all their might.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
- “And what did the banks do to earn this perpetually flowing river of wealth? Did they lend out their own capital obtained through investment of stockholders?

- “The timid and fearful cannot defend liberty — or anything else.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
- “1914…Dr. Joseph Goldberger had proven that (pellagra) was related to diet and later showed that it could be prevented by simply eating liver or yeast. But it wasn’t until the 1940s…that the ‘modern’ medical world fully accepted pellagra as a vitamin B deficiency.” ~ G. Edward Griffin

- “In the North, the sale of government bonds was the one measure for raising funds that seemed to work. Even that, however, with the lure of compounded interest to be paid in gold at a future date, failed to raise more than about half the needed amount. So the Union faced a real dilemma. The only options remaining were (1) terminate the war or (2) print fiat money. For Lincoln and the Republicans who controlled Congress, the choice was never seriously in doubt.” ~ G. Edward Griffin
-
