The cacaphony of doomsaying around the present economic adjustment, signified by America/UK’s sudden removal from the top of the international-finance dungheap, caused me to start looking around for alternative sources of information
Jack Marshak recommended Babylon’s Banksers, by Joseph Farrell, a few weeks ago and I downloaded it from amazon.com onto my Kindle (LOVE that thing!)
I’ve gotten through over half the book and have only yesterday found a ‘hook,’ which is what I call an author’s personal axe to grind and/or an author’s CIA/theosophy/freemasonry disinformation connection. I’m sort of thinking that it’s the former in his case: a deep hatred of ‘monotheism.’
On the plus side, he seems to clearly see China’s new, pivotal role in global finance and also seems to believe that China is making WWIII more and more unlikely to happen as the Babylon Banksters’ erstwhile empire continues to crumble. He sees it as an inevitable stage of a cycle and illustrates that with some very convincing material. I like that he constantly credits other authors and scholars, too. I get a little miffed by the way some folks bend the knee to loudmouthed plagiarists, these days. I think that not much credit at all is due to any plagiarist.
He and others have determined that the bullion brokers in Babylonian and Egyptian times made vast fortunes scurrying back and forth between those and the Greek empires and China back in the day. See, China figured that silver was worth more than gold and the rest considered gold to be worth more than silver.
These scholars and authors tell that before precious metals were used as money, all trading was done on the basis of food that was stored by the state. Ceramic ‘notes’ that corresponded to the value of the stored food were handed out by the governments in each case. This didn’t allow for ‘international’ trade, though, and it’s said that some governments issued more notes than the stored food could account for, so enter the bullion merchants, who promised to supply silver and gold in the correct amount, which was made into coins in the temples and stamped with the image of one or another god or (later on) emperor. It became ‘unthinkable’ to use any money except these sanctioned coins.
In another stage in some empires, the silver and gold was put in a ‘safe place’ and promisory notes were issued on it by the state. Invariably, more notes were issued than the supply of metal.
The way they tell it, before the bullion merchants attempted to infiltrate the temples and turn them into banks, they first engineered a monopoly on gold and silver by taking control of all the mines. They then contrived to buy puppet kings and emperors with their gold, who then supplied an endless supply of slaves, gotten from managed (by the bullion brokes) wars, which were generally conducted as religious exercises. They used mercenaries to oversee the slaves at the mines and the mercenaries were from other countries so that the slaves couldn’t communicate with them. Typically, slaves in the mines were worked to death as quickly as possible.
There are some sketchy parts to the book but the author insists that the same families that were the bullion merchants in ancient times later became the corporate world order, which sort of ‘flowered’ in London after the Venetian banksters moved there in the 1600s.
By the way, all that was going on a long, long time before there were any Jews
I’m tossing this out as something for you to digest. I don’t know if any of it is true but it seems more real to me (except for the hatred of monotheism [Image Can Not Be Found] ) than any of the ceaseless clamor that I’m hearing from the bullion-broker Chicken Littles, these days, which is the same tired song they’ve been singing since 1988.
Apologies to anyone whose nose is out of joint. Please do buy all the silver and gold you want! No harm in that. The end of the dollar’s hegemony seems like a cause for celebration to me, though. Have you taken a good look at the US dollar bill? It’s got more satanic symbolism on it than a mason’s funny party dress does. ‘In God we Trust.’ What ‘god’ are they talking about? Moloch?
