Historical note:

The Bank of North Dakota was founded in part by the great need of farmers in North Dakota to get financing from banks for farm equipment, and loans to make it through the winter and growing season, before the harvest. The east coast Wall Street banks didn’t care for the local farmers in North Dakota; nor did Wells Fargo and the west coast banks.

A remarkable, excellently written, and well-researched book on how another book by L. Frank Baum, “The Wonderfuld Wizard of OZ”, is Dr. Ellen Brown’s “Web of Debt” that exposes the financial underpinnings of the original “OZ” book, with a keen eye toward the private banking cartel known to us as the falsely named, “Federal Reserve”.
