The National Bank Act of February 25, 1863 (amended many times), controlled our National banking system until November 16, 1914, when the Federal Reserve banks were opened. This Act of 1863 provided that any National bank depositing Government bonds with the Treasurer of the United States should be entitled to receive circulating notes to an amount not exceeding 90% of the market value of the bonds. That is, if X bank deposited bonds with the United States Treasurer worth $100,000 on the market, the bank would be allowed to issue bank notes not to exceed $90,000. The National banks were prohibited from issuing any other form of notes to circulate as money. An Act of March 3, 1865, provided that notes issued by State banks should be taxed 10%. This tax was so heavy that State banks found it unprofitable to issue their notes. The original Act of 1863 had provided for the incorporation of National banks and a method by which State banks could become National banks. An Act of March 14, 1900, permitted the issuance of bank notes by National banks up to 100% of the market value of the bonds not to exceed par, instead of 90% as previously, and the formation of banks with capital as low as $25,000 was authorized.

Another reader sent this page with this amazing information which I believe is by the same person who wrote about the Federal Reserve Bank that existed in 1865. This person is one of Brian Redman's sources... and the source for the SOURCE's information was Linda Goodman, the astrologer... whose real name was, MARY ALICE KEMERY... the illigitimate royal granddaughter of Abraham Lincoln.

(Sorry for ALL CAPS):

THE PERSON BORN ABRAHAM WHO BECAME PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES DID NOT HAVE A LAST NAME AT BIRTH BECAUSE HIS MOTHER WOULD NOT IDENTIFY THE FATHER.

THE FAMILY OF ABRAHAM NAMED HIM AFTER THE TOWN HE WAS BORN IN - LINCOLNTON, NORTH CAROLINA -

A SMALL TOWN LOCATED NEAR A BRANCH OPERATION OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND KNOWN AS THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK THAT IS PRIVATELY OWNED AND OPERATED TO THIS DAY IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA. (THIS BANK HAS NO AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINES - GEE, HOW COME?)

AT THAT TIME ROYALTY FROM EUROPE AND THE ROTHSCHILDS HAD FAMILY MEMBERS LIVING IN THE AREA AROUND LINCOLNTON TO OPERATE AND MANAGE THE PRIVATELY OWNED FEDERAL RESERVE BANK. ABRAHAM'S MOTHER WAS A MAID AND NANNY.

WAS ABRAHAM AN ILLEGITIMATE OFFSPRING OF EUROPEAN ROYALTY OR ROTHCHILDS?

THE FAST AND STEADY RULE OVER THE CENTURIES IS THAT ONLY ROYALTY CAN HAVE SEX WITH ROYALTY. HOWEVER, MANY OF THE ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN OF ROYALTY AND THEIR DESCENDENTS ARE WATCHED OVER AND TAKEN CARE OF NO MATTER WHAT RACE, NATIONALITY OR RELIGION INCLUDING COLIN POWELL - A DESCENDENT OF KING GEORGE II WHOSE FAMILY IS FROM JAMAICA.

DAN QUAYLE AND GEORGE BUSH ARE ALSO DESCENDENTS OF KING GEORGE II. HILLARY CLINTON IS RELATED TO THE MELONS WHOSE ANCESTORS ARE ENGLISH ROYALTY.

AFTER FINISHING LAW SCHOOL LINCOLN BECAME A CIRCUIT JUDGE AND DURING HIS TRAVELS HE WAS ENCOURAGED TO MEET AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH AN ILLEGITIMATE CHILD OF KING LEOPOLD OF HAPSBERG NAMED "ELIZEBETH". REMEMBER, ONLY ROYALTY HAS SEX WITH ROYALTY AND THE AFFAIR BETWEEN LIZ AND ABE WAS SUPPORTED BY BOTH OF THEIR REAL YET SECRET FAMILIES.

THE BIRTH OF TWIN DAUGHTERS WAS THE RESULT OF THE LONG TERM AFFAIR THAT TOOK PLACE WHILE ABE WAS TRAVELING ON HORSE BACK AS A CIRCUIT JUDGE AND MARY TODD HAD NO AWARENESS OF HER HUSBAND'S ROYAL SEXUAL/PERSONAL INTERCOURSES AND FAMILY. ANYONE MARRIED TO MARY TODD WOULD WELCOME SOME EXTRA NOOKIE ESPECIALLY IF IT WAS FREE.

LINCOLN WAS A NOBODY BEFORE THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION OF 1860 AND ALL OF SUDDEN BECAME A VERY IMPORTANT PERSON. AMERICAN HISTORY IS FULL OF UNKNOWN PRIVATE CITIZENS ALL OF SUDDEN BECOMING PERSONS OF POWER AND WEALTH. ROCKEFELLER, MORGAN, CARNEGIE, VANDERBILT WERE ALL UNKNOWNS WHO HAD INSTANT FAME AND FORTUNE OVERNIGHT. ALL OF THE AFOREMENTIONED PERSONS STARTED OUT AS TRUSTEES (BAG MEN) OF MONEY ACCOUNTS FOR EUROPEAN ROYALTY/ROTHSCHILDS AND THEY WERE NOT CEOs OF ANY IMPORTANT CORPORATIONS AT THE BEGINNINGS OF THE INSTANT SUCCESSES.

THE TWIN DAUGHTERS WERE ABOUT EIGHT YEARS OLD WHEN ABE BECAME PRESIDENT - HE WAS HAVING FRIENDS TAKE CARE OF THE DAUGHTERS BECAUSE ELIZEBETH WAS TOO DISTRAUGHT ABOUT THE SHAME OF HAVING CHILDREN WITHOUT A MARRIAGE AND SHE DEPARTED FOR EUROPE SOON AFTER THE BIRTHS.

LINCOLN NEVER SUPPORTED HIS MISTRESS AND ILLEGITIMATE DAUGHTERS IN THE SAME MANNER AS EUROPEAN ROYALTY SUPPORTS THEIR BASTARDS AND THAT REALLY TICKED-OFF THE HAPSBERGS.

IN THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES ARE DOCUMENTS THAT DETAIL AN INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED AT A WHITE HOUSE DINNER IN 1861. A PRINCE FROM HAPSBERG WALKED UP TO LINCOLN BEFORE THE FOOD WAS SERVED AND SLAPPED HIM THREE TIMES WITH A WHITE GLOVE. THIS DRAMATIC ACTION WAS A CHALLENGE FOR A PISTOL DUEL BUT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES ONLY LOWERED HIS HEAD IN SHAME AND WALKED OUT OF THE ROOM AND DID NOT RETURN TO THE DINNER.

ALSO IN THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES IS A LETTER FROM A SCHOOL CHILD TO LINCOLN ASKING HIM HOW MANY CHILDREN ABE HAD. IN THE LAST SENTENCE OF HIS REPLY NOTE TO THE CHILD LINCOLN STATED "I REGRET TO INFORM YOU THAT I CANNOT RECOGNIZE THAT I HAVE ANY TWIN DAUGHTERS." AND A DRUG ADDICTED, DISTRAUGHT AND INSANE MARY TODD LINCOLN MADE HER HUSBAND AND HIS ILLEGITIMATE DAUGHTERS MORE REGRETFUL AND SORROWFUL THAN THEY COULD EVER IMAGINE.....

THERE IS SECOND PART TO THIS SAGA. LINCOLN ARRANGED FOR ONE OF HIS DAUGHTERS TO BE RAISED BY AN OLD LAW SCHOOL BUDDY WHO WAS FROM A WEALTHY COTTON PLANTATION FAMILY IN SOUTH CAROLINA - HIS NAME WAS FELIX TURNER HUGHES. HOWEVER FELIX DIED SHORTLY AFTER LINCOLN'S DAUGHTER ARRIVED AND A RELATIVE TOOK OVER THE PLANTATION AND HIS NAME WAS FELIX MONROE HUGHES. FELIX MONROE RAPED THE DAUGHTER OF LINCOLN AND SHE NAMED THE CHILD ......88 (what is the eighth letter in the alphabet). AND 88's LIFE AND CHILDREN ARE A PIVOTAL CORNERSTONE OF AMERICAN HISTORY......

A SMALL TOWN LOCATED NEAR A BRANCH OPERATION OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND KNOWN AS THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK THAT IS PRIVATELY OWNED AND OPERATED TO THIS DAY IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA.
