Control The Money Conquer The World

"The central banking system has, from its inception, acted in ways which monopolize industry (thus negating Adam Smith's concept of a "free market" and "competition"); militarize nations (financing wars and conquest, imperialism); merging the interests of both the economic and political realms into a holistic ruling class (modeled upon the dual nature of a central bank itself - holding the authority and power of a government body, but representing the interests and submitting to the ownership of private individuals). Thus, the ruling class itself is a social construct which this tiny elite formed, hardly capable of the numbers to be termed a class, especially since class is most often defined in national terms, whereas this elite is international in nature." Andrew Gavin Marshall.
The esoteric nature of conspiracy theories is part of the reason conspiracy theorists are not taken seriously. Henry Makow has written extensively about the Illuminate and the Masons, the John Birch Society has targeted Communism and the Council on Foreign Relations, there is another group that sites the Jesuits, there are the Bilderbergers, the Committee of 300, and other secret and suspicious organizations. The New World Order and the pieces being used to build it are partially clandestine and inexorably progressive. Footprints of a predator are evident throughout the world but an effective defense has never been mobilized since the predator is seldom specifically defined.
In 1838 Amschel Mayer Rothschild said: "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws." Amschel was a banker in Frankfort, Germany. He had five sons who set up banks in London, Paris, Vienna, Naples, and Sicily profiting from all phases of the Napoleonic Wars. Marshall calls them the first international bankers. Nathan Rothschild with a days lead on the British victory at Waterloo immediately sold all his holdings causing a market collapse allowing him to buy up most of the market at pennies on the dollar. When news of the British victory arrived the market soared making this smart banker and his brothers the wealthiest men in the world.
In 1694, long before the Rothschilds became prominent in money circles, England set up a central bank. Central banking was attractive to ambitious nations because it afforded a source of revenue outside the realm of taxes. A Scotsman named William Paterson loaned the English government 1.2 million pounds in return for license to conduct banking operations including the printing of currency. His comment is reported to have been "The bank hath benefit of interest on all moneys which it creates out of nothing." In less than two decades Paterson's bank was financing large scale armed conflict. The Bank of England is still in operation today.
Central banks were initially instruments of the governments of individual nations. It was not until the early Twentieth Century that the Bank of England fell under the control of a ruling class fulfilling Amschel Rothschild's boast and beginning a quest to enslave the world with debt.
"The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender." (Proverbs 22:7)
The First Bank of the United States, a Central Bank chartered in1791, strongly supported by Alexander Hamilton, was a far different animal than the Federal Reserve Bank chartered in 1913. In 1791 central banks were national in nature but by 1913 they had become international with a control structure that matched their perspective. A scant four years following the creation of the Federal Reserve the United States became involved in the First World War.
Marshall writes, "The CFR (Council on Foreign Relations), established six years after the Federal Reserve was created, worked to promote an internationalist agenda on behalf of the international banking elite. It was to alter America's conceptualization of its place within the world - from isolationist industrial nation to an engine of empire working for international banking and corporate American interests. Where the Fed took control of money and debt, the CFR took control of the ideological foundations of such an empire - encompassing the corporate, banking, political, foreign policy, military, media, and academic elite of the nation into a generally cohesive overall world view."
Predatory international banking is a logical result of unrestrained Capitalism. When the Bank of International Settlements was chartered in 1930 a new international agenda was set in motion. Carroll Quigley described the intention, "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 system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements, arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the worlds' central banks which were themselves private corporations. The growth of financial capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic control and use of this power for the direct benefit of financiers and the indirect injury of all other economic groups".
Money (the modern medium of exchange) is the life blood of contemporary society. If money is bled away commerce ceases, food cannot be purchased and citizens starve. Conversely, when money is transfused into the economy it comes to life. Control of money in a monetized culture is akin to messianic power. It was Fed money that created the stock market bubble of the 1920s and Fed money that created the real estate bubble of the past decade. Bubbles resulted in major economic dislocations and opportunities to decrease freedom and increase centralized power. The United States is the pinnacle of success for central banks. It is being used to extend the power of the ruling elite while at the same time amassing a perpetual debt that will never be paid. International bankers are extending their hegemony and filling their financial coffers while United States is descending into bankruptcy, chaos, and tyranny.
The "hidden hand" is not the Illuminate, the Masons, the Jesuits, the CFR, the Communists, the Zionists, or the Mafia. Power is in the hands of those who control the money. David Rockefeller, one of a small elite group at the pinnacle of money control, wrote in his book "Memoirs" published in 2002 by Random House, "Some even believe we (the Rockefeller family) are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure---one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."
Money and credit sustain business and business sustains our politicians. Destitution or prosperity is decided by bankers who control both business and government. The exact lines of authority and the exact nature of the conspiracy may never be known but the results of it are in plain view for all to see. David Rockefeller clearly confirms his long standing agenda shared (often secretly) by many government leaders in the United States and throughout the world. His tyrannical "integrated global political and economic structure" is now being foisted on the world.
God's Law could and should have prevented our present dilemma.
The Bible supports the freedom and private ownership of the Capitalistic system but since all men are not created equal and unrestrained free enterprise results in dangerous individual accumulations of wealth God's Law provides for restraint.
Massive fortunes like those accumulated by the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, the Carnegies, the Vanderbilts, the Astors, the Morgans, the Schiffs, the Warburgs and in our time Bill Gates would be challenged under Godly government.
Deuteronomy 15: 1-2 "At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release. And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbor shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbor, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD's release."
Debt should be temporal.
Leviticus 25: 13 "On this year of Jubilee each of you shall return to his own property."
The massive accumulation of wealth should be temporal.
Every seventh year debts were to be forgiven and the creditor was warned to forgive the debtor. It was a form of God's mercy. Bankruptcy is a secular rendering of this Biblical Law. The number seven continues from the Creation all the way through Scripture. Seven times seven is forty-nine and God sets aside the fiftieth year as the year of Jubilee. In that year slaves were to be set free and all property was to be returned to the original owner. Part of this had to do with the apportionment of land among the Twelve Tribes of Israel but there was an element of restraint against the perpetual accumulation of great wealth. Since the rich rule over the poor and the debtor is a slave to the lender God seeks legal arrangements to maintain the freedom of His people.
Man was not created to govern himself. When he attempts to do so peace, prosperity, and freedom quickly disappear. God's Law provides the structure for human peace and freedom. We have lost it and have not yet acquired the wisdom to retrieve it.
"The wealth of the country flees the land
Like cottonseed on a wind
Blown by the fetid breath
Of money-pimps in Bedlam
Pursuing the creed of masters
Who worship a market freed
Of all restraints on greed -
While politicians posture
And feed on delusions of power"
