How did Jefferson know?
John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time.
He made this statement:
"This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."
Especially read the last quote from 1802.
When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe we shall become as corrupt as Europe . Thomas Jefferson.

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802_
'I believe that banking institutions are _more dangerous to our liberties_ than standing armies. if the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property -until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.
