Federal Reserve enables inflation, benefits Wall Street over Main Street, and undermines free markets through opaque, centralized control of monetary policy.

Charles Coughlin

  • “Money is the new god… and the Federal Reserve is its prophet.”
  • “There can be no peace until the international Jewish control of money is broken.”
  • “It is not Hitler, nor Mussolini, nor Stalin, who makes war, but international finance.”

Father Charles Coughlin (1891–1979) was a Roman Catholic priest and political commentator in the United States, best known for his weekly radio broadcasts during the 1930s. Originally a supporter of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal, Coughlin later turned into a fierce critic, accusing Roosevelt of being too friendly to bankers and international financiers.

Coughlin’s broadcasts blended religion, populism, and anti-communism rhetoric. He blamed many of America’s economic woes on a global financial conspiracy and Jewish influence in banking, which led to widespread condemnation from Jewish run media. His political movement, the National Union for Social Justice, briefly gained a large following.

Radio Audience Size:

At his peak in the early 1930s, Coughlin’s radio broadcasts reached an estimated 30 million listeners—about a quarter of the U.S. population at the time—making him one of the most influential media figures of the era.

He was eventually silenced in the early 1940s by a coordinated effort between the Catholic Church and U.S. government.

Richard Werner

“Banks just create it out of thin air, and keep a pile for themselves.” 

“The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is hundred percent privately owned. And that is really the center where all the decisions are made.” 

In his March 16, 2023 article titled “Should Banks be Allowed to Fail?”, Werner elaborates that during the 1930s the Fed either let approximately 10,000 small banks fail or even “drove [them] into failure”—a failure mode he characterizes as causing significant harm to both economic growth and employment

He emphasizes the Fed’s actions as exacerbating economic collapse rather than shielding sound banking institutions.
