By
design or by coincidence?
11/6/2004
Part one
Foreword
This
writing will delve into some crucial subjects, like international
finances, central banking, money and politics. It does not pretend
though to be exhaustive, for the focal point is whether the facts or
events, which indirectly and directly influence our daily lives, are
by design or by coincidence.
I am not trying to explain in detail the
technicalities of the banking or the intricacies of political
systems. I have been inspired in part by G. Edward Griffin’s book,
“The Creature from Jekyll Island”, which I strongly recommend.
Education
Isn’t true that, although no Australian child
misses out on the education system, yet a new form of illiteracy has
sprung up among the last generation: Johnnie cannot read or spell,
and doesn’t know history or geography, for these two disciplines
have been excluded from the school curriculum. The standard level of
grade ten students today is equal to grade five or six of 1960.
Why?
Media
We know what’s going on around the world
because we read newspapers, listen to the radio and watch TV; yet
what we are given as news is half-truth, sometimes utter lies,
leaving us in the dark regarding the most vital occurrences on this
planet. Why?
Have you ever noticed that whichever newspaper
you read, or whatever radio band you tune into, or whatever TV
channel you watch, they are quasi-identical? They speak the same
language – there is no competition in news on air - no other
interpretation. Why?
Politics
We are told that we live in a democratic
society, thanks to our politicians who look after us. Yet the very
people who are supposed to serve our interests are nothing but a
bunch of professional opportunist crooks. Why?
We have choice in voting, so we believe, for
there are two main parties, the Liberals and Labor, then we have a
few other minor parties such as the Democrats, the Nationals, the
Greens, One Nation and so on. However, the two main parties have
been in power, alternatively, and sold Australia to foreign
interests in the process. Why?
Economics & finance
We are living in an era where information and
knowledge are supreme; yet we know little about money, let alone how
the banking system functions. Let us open our mind for a better
understanding in this subject by daring to ask a few elementary
questions:
·
·
Are we financially better off today than we were in the
past?
·
·
Do we own our own home, or does the bank?
·
·
Are we running our finances in the black or in the red?
·
·
Who owns our money: the bank, the government, or do we?
·
·
Is the government ever free from debt?
·
·
Do we know that every type of
money, whether ‘legal tender’ or electronically created, is based on
debt?
·
·
We pay taxes: GST, Council Rates,
car registration, car insurance, health insurance, life insurance
etc, but do we know about
INFLATION,
that hidden and deadly tax inflicted on
us by the government [the big spender]?
Inflation
If we only knew that the government, any
government, enables itself to govern a country solely through a
tacit agreement with the central banking system. Since 1913, with
the birth of the Commonwealth Bank in Australia - and the Federal
Reserve Bank in the USA (coincidence?) - the central banking system
was created, and the biggest swindle of the 20th century
began.
Most people think that the central banking
system is there to help the government’s
finances, to help people and the economy of the country, to smooth
the circulation of its monetary system and ultimately restrain any
financial activities, which would and could, in the long or short
term, cause inflation. Just the opposite is true.
Oxford Encyclopaedic Dictionary defines
‘inflation’ as ‘an increase in available currency regarded as
causing a general increase in prices and fall in the value of
money’, or in plain English, ‘too much money in circulation’.
However, a more correct definition for inflation is “imbalance
between supply of money and the supply of goods and services” [G.
Edward Griffin, The Creature from Jekyll Island]. In other
words, inflation is caused by having more printed money in
circulation than goods and services on offer in the marketplace.
Therefore, when the prices of goods and services rise, the purchase
power of our money goes down in the process. So the first indicator
for inflation is the loss in the purchasing power of money, rather
than an increase in its availability. But who is causing this money
devaluation in the first place, if not the government and the
central banking system combined? I will shortly explain what I mean
by this assertion. But allow me first to give a brief description of
inflation in real terms.
Religion
Health
Isn’t it a truism that we are living in the
most excellent of times, for in Australia we have the best modern
technology we can buy and the best health care system; yet we have
never been more unhealthy than we are today? Just look at our
hospitals - if you find a spare bed you are the lucky one. And if it
happens that there are still some people in good health, there is a
huge variety of drugs available on the market, whether prescribed or
illegal, to make you, if not an addict, at least chronically ill.
Why?
All this happens before our eyes; and yet we do
not see it. Why?
Am I the only one to see it? If what I see in
the world is real, did it happen by design or by chance?
Most people nowadays would say that everything
happening around us occurs mostly by coincidence – “that is the way
things are today,” they say. Invariably these same people believe in
Darwinism, i.e. everything we see in the cosmos came to being out of
nothing or just by chance [Big Bang].
The Big Picture
Politics
Politics is ‘the art of the possible’. In
politics everything can be done, for there is no such thing as, ‘it
cannot be done’ as long it is profitable for the party and,
ultimately, for the powerbrokers [plutocrats]. That is what has been
happening in Australia for many years. Australia has gone through a
few changes in history: from a British colony, to one of the richest
countries in the world, to a sort of satellite [client state] of the
United States. The United States is going down the drain
economically and culturally, and Australia is following suit.
Why?
Because the same powerbrokers that pull the
strings within the American political/economical system are acting
here in Australia in order to achieve the same goal. But what is the
goal they are trying to achieve? I will come back to that.
Politics as power game
Thus politicians always struggle for power and
once they are in government they are tenacious in holding on to it.
But those who put them there are those who really have the power and
exercise it at will, because they own and control the financial
resources. These people are commonly known as the bankers, the
financiers, the powerbrokers, or if you like, the plutocrats.
The powerbrokers are mainly international
financiers of British and American origins, but they have in common
one thing, and that is to reduce all the governments on earth into
one great republic, federation, or for a better word, One World
Government. In order to achieve this they use their creative
financial know-how. In other words, they put to good use what they
control best and that is, The Federal Reserve Bank, Wall Street in
New York, the Bank of England, the IMF and the World Bank, etc., and
through their agencies and other minor banks or financial
institutions, which are tied up as in a network, they manage all the
political parties by funding and bribing them, for without their
financial support they [the political parties] and governments would
starve and die in no time.
We have been led to believe that the Federal
Reserve Bank is a public financial institution, as its name seems to
suggest. It is not. The Federal Reserve Bank is a private bank, or
rather a consortium of private banks owned mostly by the
Rockefellers and the Rothschilds. Likewise, most of the central
banks around the world in reality are private institutions -
although some from the outset were ‘state owned’ - and controlled by
Wall Street and the Bank of England. The latter is another amalgam
of private owners, whose main business is banking.
Once a leader of a country has been elected
[most of time the candidate has already been “elected” by the party,
but “selected” by the plutocrats] he/she has to stand by the
powerbrokers’ hidden agenda, which has by now become the party’s,
and not for the electorate, as many would think.
In other words, the hidden agenda of the
plutocrats is mostly diametrically opposed to what the ordinary
person has voted for. This is happening because the politicians are,
unfortunately, not at the service of people who have elected them
but at the service of their masters, the plutocrats.
The hidden agenda is to reduce all the
common people to serfdom within one big centralized world government
where there are no boundaries, no sovereignty, no nationality, no
Christian religion or Christian culture.
On the economical side, under the name of ‘free
trade’ and through WTO, NAFTA, IMF & World Bank, and other
governmental and non-governmental agencies, they have created
so-called ‘globalisation’, which is another name for ‘One World
Government’, or New World Order. Because of this we have lost our
national industries, and manufacturing and local trade, with
millions of unemployed around the country in the process.
Internationally, on the political side, we have
established the European Union, NATO, and the United Nations. People
like to think that ‘Communism is over’. That might be true, as far
as the Soviet Union is concerned; but Socialism has taken its place
as is to be seen all round us - ‘the global village’ which is but a
melting pot where all culture and tradition are destroyed.
The very people, who initiated and funded these
organizations in most of the western and eastern hemispheres, are
the same plutocrats who support the political parties, whatever
colours they might be. In other words, these very people control our
destiny. Then it goes without saying that our education system,
the mass media, the banking system and so forth, are
under their spell as well. No wonder that we are living in a
dysfunctional and brainwashed society today.
Religion
For several years the Catholic Church is
running along the wrong track and has lost the plot along with its
credibility. Since Vatican II the Catholic Church has taken a
long dive and Freemasonry and Liberals now run the show. Our
seminaries are fewer than in the past, for the homosexuals and the
Liberals, who are the agents of the devil himself, permeate them and
their aim is to destroy the Catholic Church from within. In the last
four decades the Catholic Church went through many changes, at the
expense of her Orthodoxy, Tradition and Liturgy. Today the Vatican
is run by a group of Cardinals, bishops, clergy and some laypersons
of Liberal and Zionist mindset and whose sole concern is not the
welfare of the Church, but themselves; some of them are even members
of Freemasonry.
Evangelisation and the conversion of Jews and
of the heathens is not part of the Church’s agenda any longer, for
“dialogue” and Ecumenism are of primary importance and above
everything else. What nowadays Globalisation does to the secular
world, Ecumenism does to the Catholic Church, which is a religious
melting pot, where there is no difference between faiths any more.
Even the New Age religion is viewed by the Vatican with a benevolent
eye. An example of this we have it from the Harry Potter phenomenon,
which has been praised by some Vatican authorities. The list of bad
news is too long to go into. It suffices to say that we are living
in the last times, as the Apostle Paul says in 1 Tim 4: 1-5:
“Now the Spirit explicitly says that in the
last times some will turn away from the faith by paying attention to
deceitful spirits and demonic instructions through the hypocrisy of
liars with branded consciences. They forbid marriage and require
abstinence from food that God created to be received with
thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.”
Now my last question: “Is all this happening by
design or just by coincidence?”

GOVERNMENTS AND THE CENTRAL BANKING SYSTEM
A Marriage Between Politics And Mammon
-
The Unholy Alliance –
Part two
17/6/2004
Nowadays,
marriage is not very popular. Nonetheless, since the beginning of
the last century a new phenomenon occurred in our western
civilization, namely an ‘indissoluble marriage’ between governments
and Mammon. We will be celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of
this ‘unholy union’ in nine years time, in 2013.
Celebration
or mourning day, ninety-one years of marriage is a lifetime indeed.
A happy event is the twenty-five year silver anniversary; even
happier the fifty years golden anniversary; happier still
seventy-five diamond. Ninety-one years then is a diamond plus
sixteen years on top, giving to the partners vintage and prestige
- a real super-duper jewel.
Nobody can argue that this hasn’t been a
smashing success for the establishment of course, in a society where
divorce is so prevalent. Even ‘de facto’ couples rarely reach an
average of fifteen or twenty years together.
Here we have, concealed from the public eye,
governments and the central banking industry, which stipulated this
unholy union, with the sole aim of empowering themselves, in
particular through the creation of fiat money out of thin air.
Here is how fiat money is created:
“Under a
fractional-reserve banking system, a bank can create new money
merely by issuing a loan. The amount it creates is limited by the
reserve ratio or “fraction” it is required to maintain to cover its
cash-flow needs. If the reserve ratio is 10% then each $10 it lends
includes $9 that never existed before. A commercial bank, therefore,
can create a sizable amount of money merely by making loans. But,
once the bank is “loaned up,” that is to say, once it has already
loaned $9 for every $1 it holds in reserve, it must stop and wait
for some of the old loans to be paid back before it can issue new
ones. The only way to expand that process is to make the reserve
larger. That can be accomplished in one of four ways: (1) attract
more deposits, (2) use some of the bank’s profits, (3) sell
additional stock to investors, or (4) borrow from the Fed.” (G.
Edward Griffin, The Creature from Jekyll Island”, page 478).
An example of this ‘unholy alliance’ is the US
government and the Federal Reserve System [Fed]. This bank is as
Federal as a wolf is a sheep. The word Federal is misleading, for in
reality it is a consortium of a few private banks’ owners [a
corporate] whose loyalty first and foremost is to New York’s Wall
Street.
The sad story of the Fed started in December
22, 1913, when:
“The Federal Reserve
Act was released from the joint House and Senate conference
committee just as Congress was preoccupied with departure for the
Christmas recess and in no mood for debate. It quickly passed by a
vote of 282 to 60 in the House and 43 to 23 in the Senate. The
President (Woodrow Wilson) signed it into law the next day.” [G.
Edward Griffin, page 468]
To make a long story short, the marriage
between governments and the central banking system started about 91
years ago [even though, the Bank of England was created in 1649, and
the Fed is a carbon copy]; and though this may seem strange for the
common people to picture, the partners never come into conflict or
‘divorce’, because between them there is a hidden agreement that
keeps a sort of ‘balance of power’, which is expressed in monetary
parlance by G. Edward Griffin:
“The purchase of
securities by the Fed (with checks that have no money to back them)
creates money; the sale of those securities extinguishes
money. Although the Fed is authorized to buy and sell almost any
kind of security that exists in the world, it is obligated to
show preference for bonds and notes of federal governments. That
is the way the monetary scientists discharge the commitment to
create money for their partners, the political scientists.
Without that service, the partnership would dissolve, and Congress
would abolish the Fed [emphasis added].” [Page 477]
In other words, politicians and the
money-masters came to an accord behind closed doors whispering words
such as:
“We [the
bankers] are the makers of monies, the magicians of finance, the
experts in economics who, by the ‘statutory’ monopoly of money
creation you have given us, will acquiesce for you to exercise the
political power over your subjects. In addition, as a bonus, you
will be given a share of the profits for yourselves, on condition
you follow our directives unquestioningly.
“You will stay in
power long enough to accomplish our wishes, i.e., in order to serve
our agenda. Nonetheless, you will be bailing out us whenever we fail
in our central banking enterprise. As we know, money is based on
debt. Thus, do not even think of paying your government debt
[principal]; but only the interest, otherwise, by paying the
principal, you would destroy “reserves” in the bank and,
consequently, there would not be a cent in circulation.
Edward Griffin states:
“Surprising as it may
be on the eve of the depression, America was getting out of debt. As
consequence, there were few government bonds for the Fed to buy.
Without government bonds, the open-market engine was constantly out
of gas.” [Page 479].
“Money has
to be circulated by trade of goods & services for the ‘free market’;
because money is like blood in a body - without it, it dies. We know
that money has no intrinsic value, because it is not backed by
anything of real value [such as silver or gold or other
commodities], only your Treasury signature and stamp for the issue
of coins and banknotes, which gives them the title of ‘legal
tender’. However, between us “partners”, we know that inflation is
largely the effect of fiat money, i.e., imbalance between the supply
of money and the supply of goods and services.
“Through our loans
to you, we’ll take care of your money supply. That is our part. You
make sure, though, that your subjects never discover that they are
paying, through indirect and direct taxes, the interest on the
principal, [which will never be paid] and the hidden tax of
INFLATION, i.e., the loss of the purchasing power of money.
“You and we
are together in this venture – you cannot exercise power without us;
on the other hand, we cannot function without you.
-You
cannot exercise power without us, because you need us, the
international bankers, to finance you, for all works, or any sort of
expenses you might bring upon yourself during the time of your
exercise of power over your subjects.
-On the other
hand, we cannot function without you, because you are our facade,
for people to look at and feel proud. As our façade, your function
is first to hide us from them. They do not know who is behind the
“curtain”. You govern them; but we dictate the rules. Let them
think that you are at their service, and that their money is in safe
hands with us, for we bankers, as public institutions, are neutral,
are we not?
Once more
Edward Griffin writes:
‘Agents Of Higher Power
When reviewing this aspect of the Fed’s
history, questions arise about the patriotic loyalty of men like
Benjamin Strong. How is it possible for a man who enjoys the best
that his nation can offer - security, wealth, prestige - to conspire
to plunder his fellow citizens in order to assist politicians of
other governments to continue plundering theirs? ……..… International
money managers may be citizens of a particular country but, to many
of them, that is a meaningless accident of birth. They consider
themselves to be citizens of the world first. They speak of
affection for all mankind, but their highest loyalty is to
themselves and their profession.’ [Pages 474-475.]
People do not know
that the cause for inflation originated from fractional
reserve banking system, which, plausibly, is our own creation.
Nor do they know, and we must keep them ignorant, that you
governments are the biggest spenders and squanderers of revenue; for
we are just the “financial architects”, the power behind the throne.
We maintain the money-supply-machine - the central banking system -
“for the good of the country”.
As I outlined, this “marriage” between
government and the central banking system, seems unbreakable - a
water-tight union between two “partners” - and unlike other unions
where divorce is a way out, is most unlikely to ever be torn
asunder.
The reason they will never split is that there
is too much at stake. If one of the “partners” decides to quit, say
the politicians, a total political and social ruin will occur, as
well as the collapse of country’s economy. On the other hand, for
the mammonites, it goes without saying that they will never quit,
because in doing so they would lose not only their livelihood, but
it would be their financial suicide; consequently, the end of their
nefarious agenda.
Last but not least, if the product of this
“marriage” between government and the mammonites is more
centralization of power in fewer hands, is it not time to wake up
and put a stop to it. Who wants to live with this “Doomsday
Mechanism”?
“Unfortunately, the
locomotive is running in the opposite direction. The size of
government is growing larger, not smaller. There are more people
working for government than for all manufacturing companies in the
private sector. There are more bank regulators than bankers, more
farm-bureau workers than farmers, more welfare administrators than
recipients. There are more citizens receiving government checks than
there are paying income taxes.
……… The Doomsday
mechanism is also operating within government itself. By 1992, more
than half of all federal outlays went for what are called
entitlements. Those are expenses – such as Medicare, Social
Security, and government retirement programs – which are based on
promises of future payments. Many of them are contractual
obligations, and millions of people depend on them.” [Page 509]
Two last thoughts:
A banker is someone who lends you an
umbrella when the sun is shining, and who asks for it back when it
starts to rain.
A Dutchman was explaining the red,
white and blue Netherlands flag to an American. “Our flag is
symbolic of our taxes. We get red when we talk about them, white
when we get our tax bills, and blue after we pay them.” The American
nodded. “It’s the same in the USA only we see stars too!”
