     In 1907 two-term Congressman (R-MN) and career prosecutor, Charles Lindbergh Sr., presented to the U.S. Congress a document entitled The Bankers Manifesto of 1892:

  We must proceed with caution and guard every move made, for the lower order of people are already showing signs of restless commotion.  Prudence will therefore show a policy of apparently yielding to the popular will until our plans are so far consummated that we can declare our designs without fear of any organized resistance.  The Farmers Alliance and Knights of Labor Organizations in the United States should be watched carefully by our trusted men, and we must take immediate steps to control these organizations in our interest or disrupt them.

  At the coming Omaha Convention to be held July 4th (1892), our men must attend and direct its movement, or else there will be set on foot such antagonism as may require force to overcome. This at the present time would be premature.  We are not yet ready for such a crisis.

  Capital must protect itself in every possible manner through combination and legislation.  The courts must be called to our aid, debts must be collected, bonds and mortgages foreclosed as rapidly as possible.

  When through the process of law, the common people have lost their homes [i.e. the growing millions of “homeless people” in our societies today] they will be more tractable and easily governed through the influence of the strong arm of government applied to a central power of imperial wealth under the control of the leading financiers.  People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders.

  History repeats itself in regular cycles [i.e. there is no “New Normal”].  This truth is well known among our principal men who are engaging in forming an imperialism of the world.  While they are doing this, the people must be kept in a state of political antagonism.

  The question of tariff reform must be urged through the organization of the Democratic Party, and the question of protection with the reciprocity must be forced to view through the Republican Party.  By thus dividing the voters, we can get them to expend their energies fighting over questions of no importance to us, except as teachers to the common herd.  Thus, by discrete action, we can secure all that has been so generously planned and successfully accomplished.  https://www.sprottmoney.com/blog/the-bankers-manifesto-of-1892-jeff-nielson-sprott-money-news.html
