8.4.99 Recipients-- Here's what just happened to Switzerland. I think it's safe to say that the forces behind this tremendous and subversive attack on the very foundations of the Swiss nation, it's Constitution--the very heart and soul of which has been torn out and crushed; have the United States next on their list and very firmly in their sights. One of the first steps in this demolishment of Swiss political system by New World Order head honchos was severing the previously inviolable tie between Swiss currency and *G*O*L*D*. Well sheesh, we already DID that part over 35 years ago! Massive disinformation campaigns which caused serious headspinning and arm twisting of the Swiss electorate resulted, most unfortunately, in them actually voting to demolish to most important underpinnings of their entire socio-political structure. Swiss sovereignty, their much-vaunted "neutrality", and OF COURSE there constitutionally MANDATED people's militia are now but dust bin the wind. This should serve as a MOST SERIOUS warning regarding the New World Order's plans for the future of OUR constitutional republic… such as it is or ever was. Find out for yourself… in the article below. And DON'T say it "can't happen here." It CAN! John Quinn/NewsHawk Inc. New American Vol. 15, No.15, July 19, 1999 http://www.thenewamerican.com/tna/1999/07-19-99/vo15no15_swiss.htm Goodbye Sovereign Switzerland by Jane H. Ingraham With scarcely a murmur of dissent, the seemingly impossible was accomplished. Lacking understanding, the Swiss people voted this spring to end the unique soundness of their currency as well as their country's financial power and independence. Oblivious to the consequences of abandoning the Swiss franc's tie to gold, the people of Switzerland -- the world's only direct democracy -- approved a new constitution that abolishes the traditional gold convertibility that for generations made the Swiss franc literally "as good as gold." This historic decision is the culmination of an orchestrated international assault to wipe out the last remaining obstacle to an inflatable global paper currency, long a goal of American and European Insiders of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Trilateral Commission. With good reason, the Insiders have loathed the presence on the international financial market of this stable currency backed by a precious metal, which puts a brake on inflation and arbitrary manipulation. Since 1933, when FDR stripped Americans of their gold under false pretenses, the Insider game has been central bank control of printing-press money and credit, expanding and contracting the supply to suit their own agenda, creating booms and busts cleverly called "business cycles." Having reduced the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar to pennies over the past 60 years, the Insiders were ready to move into the final global phase. Plan of Attack As a matter of necessity, the Swiss franc's disciplinary tie to gold had to be abolished. But how? Franklin Roosevelt did it by executive order. But this would not have been allowed in Switzerland with its weak central government and strong tradition of independence in the cantons. What it boiled down to was that the Swiss people would have to be made to do it to themselves. Masters at psychological and semantic warfare, the Insider cabal concocted a contemptible smokescreen, using the suffering of the Jewish people as bait. The New York Times and the Washington Post launched an avalanche of shockingly vituperative accusations against the highly respected Swiss banking industry. The charge: Swiss banks still held gold deposited by Jews who became victims of the Holocaust. Spearheaded by the fabulously wealthy Edgar Bronfman (CFR), owner of the multinational liquor company Seagram and president of the World Jewish Congress, the "funds without heirs" assault quickly mushroomed into a "humanitarian" rescue mission for "abused" Jews who had had bank doors "slammed in their faces" when they tried to collect. Nowhere in this sustained propaganda was there a semblance of proof of any "unclaimed assets." Overlooked was the fact that in the 1950s and again in 1962, Swiss banks formally investigated the dormant accounts of persons who may have died in the war and paid out tens of millions to survivors and Jewish causes. In spite of this, the pressure was so intense that the Swiss government was forced to agree to convene an Independent Commission of Eminent Persons to audit the banks' records yet again. The Commission's chairman was none other than Paul Volker of Federal Reserve fame and powerful member of both the CFR and the Trilateral Commission. That this was a transparent fraud was revealed by the American Spectator:"Unfortunately, no reliable study exists, nor can one be undertaken sixty years later, even by eminent persons, that can verify from where and how money came into Switzerland during the 1930s." Meanwhile, Switzerland's Journal de Geneve reported an astonishing warning made public by Bronfman: "Edgar Bronfman estimates that if the Swiss bankers do not seize the unique opportunity to re-establish their reputations, he foresees the end of Switzerland as a great world banking center, for every essential mark of confidence will have disappeared ... the free world may well end up by finding such a banking system reprehensible." The shocking truth is that the American/European Insider cabal has the power to carry out this extraordinary threat. That this was perfectly understood by the Swiss Federal Council was soon apparent. First came the announcement of a Swiss Humanitarian Foundation endowed with seven billion francs, interest from which would be used for the needs of "persons" in grave financial distress. This vague wording was necessary since nothing whatsoever about Jewish assets had yet materialized. In short, the seven billion francs had nothing to do with "funds without heirs." Yet Bronfman and others who were attacking the banks were jubilant, and with good reason. Heart of the Matter After adding another seven billion francs to the Foundation for the benefit of the Swiss people themselves, who were understandably enraged about forking over billions to strangers on the basis of unproven accusations, the Federal Council announced that the 14 billion francs would be divorced from the tie to gold and the Swiss National Bank would begin selling its gold reserve. Here was the heart of the Insiders' despicable smokescreen. Jean-Marc Berthoud of Lausanne, Switzerland, one of the few who tried to warn the Swiss people before it was too late, wrote in his prescient work, The Swiss Gold Standard and the New World Order of the Ages: "In liberating the fourteen billion francs drawn from the gold reserves of the Swiss National Bank and in deciding to sell the gold reserve upon which the relation of our money to reality is founded, the Federal Council has taken the first step on the road to the liberation of the Swiss franc from its tie to the gold standard." The second step was not long in coming. The Federal Council soon proposed a revision of the Swiss constitution which would permanently sever the tie between gold and the franc. It is this revision (actually a new constitution) that the Swiss people have just approved. The Insiders' blackmail has paid off 100 percent. It should be understood that Bronfman acted not as a Jew, but as a CFR conspirator pursuing a crucial Insider goal. The Jewish people were as unaware of the true nature of the assault on the banks as Americans were. In fact, Israeli Jews were angered by the strange confrontation with Switzerland, as can be seen from the remarks of an Israeli journalist quoted in the New York Times: "Getting excited about private people's bank accounts trivializes the Holocaust. Israelis get an unpleasant feeling from the bombastic language the people of the World Jewish Congress are using. There's a feeling that says, 'Don't use me, don't use the Holocaust for your own P.R.'" And it was Israeli Jews who reminded the world that the issue of reparations played out in the l950s debate over whether to accept reparations from West Germany. Israel accepted billions of dollars, but these were reparations to the Jewish nation -- not to private people. More Than Money But the new Swiss constitution is about more than gold. Given the opportunity, the Insiders made a clean sweep of it. Since we do not have a mole in the Swiss Federal Council, it is impossible to tell what bribes or threats or treason forced the Swiss to produce this frightening document, which amounts to an agenda for the dissolution of Switzerland and its merger into the new world order under the precepts of the United Nations. In the past, Swiss citizens had always been allowed as much as a month to scrutinize and debate a single constitutional change; this time they had to decide very quickly, without debate, on more than 100 articles containing profound modifications to their mode of government, their military, and their culture. Obviously haste was necessary to prevent the Swiss from realizing that their laws, rights, and customs were being subsumed under international edicts and mandates, including a perfidious attack on the traditional family. In line with the UN Treaty on the Rights of the Child, the responsibility and authority of parents (the foundation of a healthy state) are to be discarded; children will now decide for themselves that which pleases them, including which religion they wish to follow -- if any. Those in charge of children must better represent the sexes (fathers instead of mothers), a concept which will enable state authorities to control families. The very definition of a family has been changed to a "community of adults and children." The Swiss Federal Council, which traditionally was limited to executing the popular will as expressed in the cantons, has been transformed into a centralized bureaucracy with dictatorial authority and supreme executive power over the entire Swiss Confederation. Interventionism is now the order of the day; speech, writing, and attitudes must now be "politically correct" according to the dictates of the Council. The word "citizen" has been replaced by the word "population," including all foreigners living legally or illegally in the country. "Cultural diversity" must be favored in order to engage Switzerland in an "international order of peace and justice." EU Absorption The term "Swiss Nation" has been replaced by "people," amounting to an abandonment of national identity. "People of the 23 cantons of Switzerland" has become "people and the Swiss cantons." The "population" will have nothing to say about the application of international laws, which will be irreversible. Not even a member of the UN, Switzerland now finds itself a prisoner of international arbitrary power, not much different from Bosnia. The nature of Switzerland's citizen-soldier army, unique in the world, will be wiped out. In spite of popular refusal and opposition in the past, Switzerland's soldiers will now serve with UN troops, abandoning the traditional armed neutrality. The famous universal militia will now become a professional army under central control. But the Swiss have been told they must "contribute equally to maintain peace." Lost in the propaganda is the fact that Switzerland -- thanks to the "isolationism" liberals love to despise -- is the only European country that has maintained peace for hundreds of years. Naturally, the new order also prohibits all forms of discrimination: Origin, race, sex, age, language, mode of life (homosexuality), religion, philosophy, politics, mental and physical disabilities -- all will be as one. Foreigners will be able to claim the right to vote since there will be no discrimination as to place of origin. In short, this incredible document dismantles the most natural parts of community life such as liberty, national identity, family, and privacy. In their place are socialist objectives such as the "right" to a job and the "right" to housing. Further steps are inevitable as the dials are set for Switzerland's total absorption into the European Union. Last Line of Defense The extinction of the sovereignty of Switzerland should come as a fearful warning to Americans. When George Bush repeatedly referred to the new world order he was helping bring about at the time of the Gulf War, he never bothered to provide the details. Now it has been spelled out for us. Those who have been insisting that the European nations could never be homogenized have been pitifully naive. Left out of their equation was the ruthless power of the Insiders. But there is a cardinal difference between America and Switzerland: We still have our Constitution. Battered, tattered, and abused as it is, we still have it. Nothing could tell us more vividly than the fate of Switzerland how much we need to rush to its defense. We must forever keep our eyes fastened on the core principle, not on the diverting peripherals. We oppose minimum wage not because it disemploys the poor (which it does), but because it is unconstitutional; we oppose the war in Kosovo not because it is doing nothing to help the Kosovars (which it isn't), but because it is unconstitutional; we oppose GoodbyeIMF and World Bank bailouts of foreign countries not because they retard real reform (which they do), but because they are unconstitutional; we oppose federal aid to education not because the chains of "political correctness" go with it (which they do), but because it is unconstitutional; we oppose Federal Reserve paper money not because it is inflationary (which it is), but because it is unconstitutional. Our Constitution remains the foremost line of defense against the Insiders' new world order.
