While Jefferson wrote extensively on his opposition to a central bank and his distrust of banks in general, I truly doubt Jefferson used the phrase “Jewish banking institutions.”

It appears an honest-to-God quote has been altered and disseminated on the web by people with a dangerous agenda.

I think it should be taken down before people get the wrong idea.

I’ve seen a quote like that very recently but it didn’t have “Jewmish” bankers, it had “central” or some other word. I found out some years ago when verifying Jefferson quotes that there is a cottage industry of manufacturing fake quotes. There is a site where one can verify his quotes. Lemme see if I can find it.

Okay, I think this is it, site looks different but it had the word “Monticello”in it and appears to be the one.

Yeah this is totally written incorrectly. Not you, Sheep, he said “the banks and corporations”

Someone from GAB probably altered it 😂
