The Grand Deception: The Theft of America and the World, Part III
By Christopher Mark
In Parts I and II of this series, the background of the money changers who have sought to control America from the very beginning of our Republic to the beginning of the 20th Century was summarized. We learned of the first two efforts to create private, central banks in America and a little of the key players involved.
Now that we have established the historical facts concerning the importance of controlling the money of a nation, in this case, America, the purpose of this week’s column is to briefly highlight the establishment of the Federal Reserve System and to tie in the “Fed” (no more federal than Federal Express) with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, Bank of International Settlements, and the relationship of these organizations to the plan for the future of the world.
Said Senator Charles Lindberg Sr. just before passage of the Federal Reserve Act “The money trust deliberately caused the 1907 money panic and thereby forced Congress to create a National Monetary Commission which led to the ultimate creation of the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank. The Federal Reserve Act establishes the most gigantic monetary trust on earth. When the President signs the bill, the invisible government of the Monetary Powers will be legalized. The people must make a declaration of independence to relieve themselves from the Monetary Powers, by taking control of Congress!...The worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking bill. The caucus and the party bosses have again operated and prevented the people from getting the benefit of their own government!”
Is it not nice to know that your future and that of your children has already been planned? The future of America has long been planned. The future of the entire world has long been planned. Once again, welcome to the world of the International Banker, who like the famous film, The Wizard of Oz, stands behind the curtain of orchestrated national and international policymakers and so-called elected leaders. Through the powerful organizations these megalomaniacs have conceived and birthed into reality, organizations designed to accomplish their ends, namely the Federal Reserve System (and a system of privately owned national banks throughout the world), the IMF, World Bank, and Bank of International Settlements, there is no doubt as to what the future holds. Profit for the Rich Men of the Earth. Comfort and protection for their minions (national leaders and other useful lackeys). Death, disease, and destruction on an apocalyptic scale for the rest of us.
We have been warned, repeatedly. Thomas Jefferson said he feared the international bankers more than any standing armies. Abraham Lincoln make similar statements. James Madison, John Jay and countless other Founding Fathers of this Republic have forewarned us. Yet, we have chosen to ignore the warnings of these wise men and the unfolding of their prophetic words before our very eyes today. How will you look your child or grandchild in the eye and tell them you did nothing, as America is utterly destroyed by design? The men and women who settled this nation, our ancestors, would not take any of the mind-deadening, media-driven, brainwashing pap being shoved down our throats each and every second of every day. If someone smeared feces onto your face each and every day of the year or like a schoolyard bully beat you up on the way home from school each day, would this be OK with you? Why does today’s average American take it?
The answer is simple. We are corrupt and Godless. Like Rome before us, our pride, luxuries, and power will crumble in the face of our total decadence and our outright decision to embrace humanism versus the love of our Creator. In the end days of Rome, money was made to be scarce, and was privately controlled. Years before the fall of Rome, did you know that Caesar was likely assassinated for the same reasons many feel Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, and John Kennedy were? That is correct, he had the nerve to oppose private control of the Empire’s money—and he actually did it, issuing debt-free government money, ushering in one of the greatest eras of prosperity ever recorded in the history of the world. He was loved by the people.
Yet, doubt not that Rome was an Empire and doubt not that America is now an Empire, with troops positioned around the world to protect our interests. But “our” interests are no longer America’s interests, merely those of the International Banker and their front organizations. Unfortunately, this has been the case for a very long time now.
The time of reckoning fast approaches, and in America, the most formidable step towards the ultimate destruction of our society and sovereignty took place on December 23, 1913. In the absence of a quorum, the United States Senate (almost all had gone home for Christmas), passed The Federal Reserve Act, also known as the Owen-Glass Act or the Currency Bill. Puppet Woodrow Wilson dutifully signed this treasonous measure into law, guided by the ever-present representative of the money changers, one Colonel Mandell House. Mr. House also authored a book, entitled Phillip Drew, Administrator, in which he described how a central bank would control the nation and a president would present “New Deals” to the country, and how ultimately from behind the scenes, America would be morally corrupted and turned into a socialist nation, finally to be merged with a one-world government. A work of fiction, no doubt.
There is an abundance of information on the Fed out there, so I will be brief. These criminals create money from nothing, and charge us, The People, for the face value of the money, plus interest. This includes all actual money and coin, as well as electronic entries used to purchase or sell US bonds on the open market. Every single penny is a debt owed to the private Federal Reserve. Instead of respecting the Constitution, and issuing debt-free money, Congress has permitted a privately held conglomerate of International Bankers (majority are foreigners no less) to control the money of America. Our “debt” is a farce.
Now, it should be relatively easy to see why WW I and WW II were fought. We fought to protect the investments of International Bankers, and to create untold amounts of debt (translation: profit for the banksters). In the process, we also did so to advance the growth of technology, to be subsequently used against a free people. It is a know fact that Trotsky and Lenin (who lived in Manhattan, New York) were sent with a cool $1B in gold bullion across Canada, through Siberia, and ultimately, to what was known as Petrograd. That is right. We, America, funded the creation of the Soviet Union. With outright bribes and brute force, Lenin and Trotsky hired thugs to terrorize the main city of Petrograd, murdered the Czar (who had long been a thorn in the side of the International Banker), and it took years to actually develop any true central control of the new nation. Do you doubt this? If so, look up the Congressional Record and the words of Louis T. McFadden, former Congressman from Pennsylvania on the subject.
Now that America had an official enemy, the Communists (interesting how the Rockefellers had business interests in the former Soviet Union, to include a branch bank, from the very beginning of same Soviet Union), we would really need to roll up into high gear to defend ourselves against this new enemy of America, created by America (starting to see a pattern here?). Of course, this would come to be known as the Cold War and represented an unprecedented era of spending (translation: even more profit for the banksters).
In the meantime, history now notes that had we not become involved in WW I, the war would likely have fizzled out, with neither side having the financial and manpower requirements to follow through on a war. Alas, J.P. Morgan had invested heavily in England...need I say more? Even though our ties to Germany were much closer than to those of England, who had only a generation or two ago been heavily involved in physically and financially influencing the Civil War (if not causing it), we threw our interests behind England—and the House of Morgan. Naturally, the Morgan-controlled media whipped up a frenzy and the president who had promised to keep our boys out of war at all costs quickly broke his promise, sacrificing countless thousands of Americans to protect the interests of a few, and not the interests of America. Disgusting.
Another reason for WW I was to attempt to create a mechanism on the pretended basis of preventing all future wars. The banksters would have to wait until the end of WW II to get their United Nations; but back then they tried long and hard to get a League of Nations created. Puppet Woodrow Wilson fought tirelessly for this International Banker front organization—but was defeated, as there were simply too many honest and intelligent Congressmen still in office back then. (This defect has long since been cured—now there are many intelligent ones, but few honest ones.)
Naturally, if we had not involved ourselves in WW I, the harsh Treaty of Versailles would not have been imposed upon Germany. Quite likely, Hitler would have remained an anti-Semitist, ex-corporal. But that was not the plan. Once again, Wall Street came to the rescue. Who do you think ended up owning half of I.G. Farben (the company responsible for building and administering so many of Hitler’s famous concentration camps)? Only Standard Oil. Who do you think ended up owning half of Standard Oil? Only I.G. Farben. Whose factories and buildings were 97% undamaged after the end of WW II? Only I.G. Farben’s, of course. And who else may have been involved in assisting the Nazi Party? Who else had several companies shut down by President Roosevelt under the Trading with the Enemy Act? For the answer to that, I suggest you consider viewing http://www.takebackthemedia.com/bushnonazi.html. (Warning: a few images are graphic.)
“The Bank of International Settlements (BIS) is an international organization which fosters cooperation among central banks and other agencies in pursuit of monetary and financial stability,” according to their website at http://www.bis.org/index.htm. Translation: We are the granddaddy of all private, national, central banks where the ultimate manipulation of national economies, regional economies, and the world economy is accomplished with the stroke of a pen.
According to Anthony Sutton, world renown expert on the financial chaos that is the reality of our civilization, in his book Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler, “This interplay of ideas and cooperation between Hjalmar Sehacht in Germany and, through Owen Young, the J.P. Morgan interests in New York, was only one facet of a vast and ambitious system of cooperation and international alliance for world control. As described by Carroll Quigley, this system was ‘... nothing less than to create a world system of financial control, in private hands, able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole...’ This feudal system worked in the 1920s, as it works today, through the medium of the private central bankers in each country who control the national money supply of individual economies. In the 1920s and 1930s, the New York Federal Reserve System, the Bank of England, the Reichs-bank in Germany, and the Banque de France also more or less influenced the political apparatus of their respective countries indirectly through control of the money supply and creation of the monetary environment. More direct influence was realized by supplying political funds to, or withdrawing support from, politicians and political parties. In the United States, for example, President Herbert Hoover blamed his 1932 defeat on withdrawal of support by Wall Street and the switch of Wall Street finance and influence to Franklin D. Roosevelt. Politicians amenable to the objectives of financial capitalism, and academies prolific with ideas for world control useful to the international bankers, are kept in line with a system of rewards and penalties. In the early 1930s the guiding vehicle for this international system of financial and political control, called by Quigley the ‘apex of the system,’ was the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland. The BIS apex continued its work during World War II as the medium through which the bankers — who apparently were not at war with each other — continued a mutually beneficial exchange of ideas, information, and planning for the post-war world. As one writer has observed, war made no difference to the international bankers: The fact that the Bank possessed a truly international staff did, of course, present what a normal person (not an International Banker) would consider a strange situation in a time of war. An American President was transacting the daily business of the Bank through a French General Manager, who had a German Assistant General Manager, while the Secretary General was an Italian. Other nationalities on both sides of the raging war occupied other key positions. These men were, of course, in daily personal contact with each other. Still, the directors of the Bank remained, of course, in their respective countries and had no direct contact with the personnel of the Bank.” Still a mighty sweet and incestuous relationship, would you not agree, folks...while everyone else was out fighting, being mutilated, and dying in preconceived international conflicts.
The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) is, in reality, nothing more than an agency of the United Nations, and headquartered in Washington D.C. The IBRD is also known as the World Bank. Back in 1944, at a special meeting known as the Bretton Woods Conference, the plans were carefully laid for a world bank. In 1945, this monstrosity was formally organized. No less than 28 countries ratified the agreement. Today nearly 200 countries are “members.” You see, this “bank” makes loans to its members. Also, under special government guarantees, it also makes loans to private investors for such benevolent (sarcasm) purposes as creating a productive investment environment, and stimulating trade with other countries. Oh, and as an added bonus, the bank can discharge all international debt burdens.
What is important to understand is that all members of this bank must also be members of the good old IMF. Most do not realize this, but this organization is a for-profit institution. In typical elitist fashion, a board of governors consisting of members of each member state exists. However, voting rights are determined by capital subscription...in other words...”how much does your country’s group of private international bankers have invested in the whole shooting match?” Daily affairs are handled by 22 executive directors and five are appointed by the five largest capital contributors to this for-profit game. Who are the big boys? The United States, Germany, Japan, Great Britain, and France. The other 17 are elected by the remaining body of members.
The bank has regional VPs who take care of business in five regions, namely, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, East Africa, and West Africa. The fifth region is huge and constitutes the whole of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. This “bank” also seeks to educate its members by offering courses in how to destroy and exploit developing nations in the most ruthless and efficient manner possible (according to the opinions of some). Its educational arm is known as the Economic Development Institute. There is also the International Finance Corporation set up in 1956. (They do loans without government guarantees, investing in private enterprises in member nations.) In 1960, this bank also created the International Development Association, supposedly to make credit easier for developing nations to obtain. As a whole, this group of institutions is known as the World Bank Group. It is said that the US Secretary of the Treasury is no longer a US government employee, but is actually employed via the IMF and World Bank. Starting to get the picture?
Well here it is: We (America) are at the helm of a group of private banking institutions who make loans to countries that cannot possibly pay these loans back. The terms of the IMF agreements are so harsh (and allegations that the leaders of countries are outright bribed and blackmailed to sign these loan agreements abound) that failure to repay ends up with the many private interests behind the IMF and World Bank taking control of the victim country’s assets and natural resources—all of them, including telephone companies, water systems, electric companies, gas wells, oil wells, and so on.
Then, naturally, since they are a private, for-profit outfit, they raise prices on all these basic utilities and cause riots. (Look no farther than Argentina if you need an example.) I suggest you visit http://www.gregpalast.com and/or read his latest book, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy to better understand this matter. Or why not go to http://www.infowars.com/ and take a look at the transcripts of interviews Alex Jones has done with Greg Palast, who by the way, is a real thorn in the side of the IMF/World Bank crowd—and many others. (This is always the case with people who have a nasty habit of truth-telling.)
The IMF/World Bank crowd is/has been cozy with companies like Enron and many others of which you have heard and by no coincidence are closely linked to many political leaders. After all, someone has to get those sweetheart contracts and take control of the utilities and resources of a country after they fail to adhere to the terms of their loan(s), right? So, would it surprise you to learn that Enron took over a significant portion of the infrastructure of Argentina after that nation defaulted? By now, why would you be surprised? Our nation and the biggest nations in the world are in bed with the International Banker and the transnational corporations that they (International Banksters) have funded into creation with the money that they have created out of nothing. What an incredible scheme! History will record both the evil of the International Banker, their corporate and political cohorts, and unfortunately, the apathy and downright ignorance of the American people.
Feeling great about America these days? Boy, we sure are acting like a respectable, God-fearing Republic, are we not? What the heck is few million dead and starving people, as long as we can keep those cheap imports coming into our country? So what if GATT and the North American Free Trade Association (NAFTA) practically legalized child labor in foreign countries. So what if the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) makes the Supreme Court irrelevant when there is a trade dispute between nations, as GATT has a panel which meets in private to decide these often multi-billion dollar disputes between companies from different nations? (Much more convenient, do you not think?) So what if NAFTA may lead to a single currency for Mexico, America, and Canada (for starters)? Heck, why do you have such an attachment to national sovereignty anyway? Do you not understand that there are more important things than lousy, outdated documents like The Constitution for the United States of America and The Bill of Rights? What, are you with Bin Laden or Hussein or something?
In an article entitled America Abroad: The Birth of a Global Nation, from page 70 of the July 20, 1992 issue of Time Magazine, Strobe Talbot, former Deputy Secretary of State in the Clinton administration, wrote “...nationhood as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. A phrase briefly fashionable in the mid-20th century—‘citizen of the world’—will have assumed real meaning by the end of the 21st century. All countries are basically social arrangements, accommodations to changing circumstances. No matter how permanent and even sacred they may seem at any one time, in fact they are all artificial and temporary...The forerunner of the nation was a prehistoric band clustered around a fire beside a river in a valley. It's members had a language, a set of supernatural beliefs and a repertoire of legends about their ancestors...When they reached the next valley, they massacred and enslaved some weaker band of people they found clustered around some smaller fire and thus became the world's first imperialists...Empire eventually yielded to the nation-state, made up primarily of a single tribe...China, France, Germany and Japan are surviving examples...The main goal driving the process of political expansion and consolidation was conquest. The big absorbed the small, the strong the weak. National might made international right. Such a world was in a more or less constant state of war...perhaps national sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all.”
Talbot continued “The cold war also saw the European Community pioneer the kind of regional cohesion that may pave the way for globalism. Meanwhile, the free world formed multilateral financial institutions that depend on member states' willingness to give up a degree of sovereignty. The IMF can virtually dictate fiscal policies, even including how much tax a government should levy on its citizens. The GATT regulates how much a nation can charge on imports. These organizations can be seen as the proto-ministries of trade, finance and development for a united world. The internal affairs of a nation used to be off limits to the world community. Now the principal of ‘humanitarian intervention’ is gaining acceptance...organizations like the World Federalist Association have for decades advocated it as the basis for global government. Federalism is largely an American invention...it would be the logical extension of the Founding Fathers' wisdom, therefore a special source of pride for a world government's American constituents...As for humanity as a whole, if federally united, we won't really be so very far from those much earlier ancestors, the ones huddled around that primeval fire beside the river; it's just that by then the whole world will be our valley.”
Gee, I have always yearned to be an American constituent of a world government, huddled around a symbolic primeval fire beside a river. You too, huh? The battle rages on. The battle is for the truth. Do you care about the truth? Do you care where America is heading? Do you care if America survives as a sovereign nation? Well, then, do not just sit on your hands—start doing your own research and start making a difference in your community. Speak up. Talk to your neighbors. Make your opinion known! Your voice counts—even if Big Brother wants you to believe it does not.
A few quotations to end this week’s column. “The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy and more selfish than a bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at the rear is my greatest foe.” –Abraham Lincoln in 1866
>From the records of the House Banking and Currency Committee, Page 9, 1964 : “The privately owned Federal Reserve Banks create Federal Reserve Notes out of thin air to buy government bonds from the United States Treasury by lending into circulation at interest and by bookkeeping entries of checkbook credit to the United States Treasury. The Treasury writes an interest bearing bond for one billion dollars. The privately owned Federal Reserve gives the Treasury a one billion dollar credit for the bond it has created from nothing. This is a one billion dollar debt which the American people are obligated to pay in full, with interest.”
“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.“ - Frederic Bastiat, The Law
Next week, I will offer my final installment in this series of articles and wrap up with a concise summation of all that we have covered in the past few weeks. In addition, I will hypothesize as to the most likely implications for what amounts to a stolen America and World, and what the future may hold in store for us all, as a result.
