Gottfried Feder's "Manifesto For Breaking The Financial Slavery To Interest" is one of a series of three books by the important; albeit now obscure German campaigner against parasitic debt-finance-capitalism. It was Feder who gave opposition to debt-finance and a demand for a new banking system a technical foundation without which the National Socialist economic and financial policies might not have gone beyond a vague enmity towards capitalism because of its identification with Jews. Feder attempted to interest the Munich Soviet in his ideas for banking reform; but in good Marxist fashion; this fell on deaf ears. It was left to the embryonic National Socialist group to see in Feder's ideas the means of achieving both freedom from debt-bondage and the means by which the state could assume its prime duty to issue the community's own credit; limited only by its productivity and creativity. Even though; as the Reich progressed; Feder; like many other early idealists; was relegated to minor rank within the Third Reich; his fundamental ideas provided the basis for Germany's socio-economic revival while the rest of the world wallowed in Depression. In this respect Feder is Germany's equivalent to New Zealand's John A. Lee; Australia's Jack Lang; U.S.A.'s Father Charles Coughlin; and Britain's C. H. Douglas and Arthur Kitson. Feder deserves an honoured place amongst the early fighters against usury-capital; a subject which continues to be; perhaps more than ever; of vital relevance to the world.

Excellent history of the how bad political decisions contributed to the disaster at Pearl Harbor 12/7/1941By W. BockA little known prelude to the consequences of the "expedient" political decisions that preceded the unpreparedness of Pearl Harbor on December 7; 1941. The same mistakes are being committed again in 2014. We never learn from the hard-learned lessons of history; no one pays attention until it is too late.9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Ol' Blood and Guts....Navy Style!By V-RODIf you're looking for the Navy version of Gen. Patton; you have found your man. Adm. Richardson actually had the guts to tell FDR to his face that the Navy leadership at this time has no confidence in the civilian leadership of this country. I can't think of many military officials at that level who would say how they felt regardless of the cost involved.Half of this book deals with Naval Fleet data and navy protocol. Not exciting material; but some may enjoy it. The other half of this book is excellent. Adm. Richardson is ordered by FDR to move the Navy fleet from San Diego to Pearl Harbor. He believes it will be a temporary stay; but soon realizes the fleet is to be a "deterrent" to Japanese aggression. He is outraged because the fleet can not be defended and in his opinion the U.S. Navy at the time was non- existent in relation to the Japanese. He has numerous battles with Washington officials and ends up being removed from command.This man was direct; honest; and didn't "pull any punches". He called it as he saw it. But he wasn't a "loose-lipped cannon either. After Pearl Harbor he could have come on the scene and flaunted what he had said about the disaster waiting to happen at Pearl Harbor. Instead he remained reticent; and maintained his loyalty to this country. It's men like this that made the United States a great country. Honest; forthright; genuine; lovers of the good; patriotic; sincere and brave. Men; lets return to being men again!(..be thou strong therefore; and show thyself a man;) I Kings 2:2 KJV
