What did Gary North write about the Federal Reserve and fractional reserve banking?
✦
Gary North argued that fractional reserve banking is inherently fraudulent because banks lend out deposits they don't actually possess [Source 1]. He viewed the Federal Reserve as an institution designed to cartelize the banking system and protect member banks from bank runs [Source 2]. In his view, the Fed enables inflation by allowing banks to expand credit beyond real savings, which distorts interest rates and triggers boom-bust cycles [Source 3].

Your PDF library β€” searchable, citable, conversational

Point it at a URL and walk away. ReformedPapr handles the crawl, the download, and the ingestion β€” you just ask questions.

πŸ•·οΈ

Automatic PDF Crawling

Add a URL β€” ReformedPapr spiders the entire site, discovers every PDF linked from it, and queues them all for download. No manual hunting required.

⚑

Fast Text Extraction

PDFs are converted to plain text in under a second using pdftotext. No OCR delays, no cloud uploads β€” runs entirely on your machine.

πŸ”

Full-Text Search Index

Every document is chunked and indexed in a SQLite FTS5 full-text index. Searches are instant across thousands of pages, even on a laptop.

πŸ’¬

Conversational Q&A

Ask questions in plain English. The most relevant chunks are retrieved, passed to a local LLM (Ollama), and an answer is synthesized with inline citations.

πŸ“Ž

Source Citations

Every answer links back to the exact document β€” with a download link to the original PDF and a link back to the source URL it was crawled from.

πŸ”’

Fully Local by Default

No data leaves your machine. PDFs stay on disk, the LLM runs via Ollama locally, and the index lives in SQLite. No API key required.

From URL to searchable knowledge
in four steps

1

Add a source

Paste a URL to crawl (discovers all PDFs on the site) or a direct PDF link. ReformedPapr handles both β€” crawl a whole library or grab a single document.

2

Download & convert

PDFs are downloaded and stored locally. Each one is converted to searchable text in under a second β€” no cloud services, no waiting.

3

Chunk & index

Text is split into ~500-token chunks and indexed in a full-text search database. The index is ready to search the moment a document finishes processing.

4

Chat & get cited answers

Ask any question. The top matching chunks are retrieved and sent to the LLM, which generates a grounded answer with links back to the source PDFs.
