The Grand Deception: The Theft of America and the World, Part I
By Christopher Mark
Thepurpose of this week’s article is to provide you with an introductionto the earthly instruments of destruction which pervade earth. Theseinstitutions mean to accomplish nothing less than to enslave the entirepopulation of the planet. Welcome to the world of the internationalbanker.
In fact, your country and your world is owned byinternational bankers. It is no longer relevant, in this author’sopinion, to focus on names, such as Rockefellers and Rothschilds, forthe plutocratic institutions that rule the our planet have been
established.You know of the so-called Federal Reserve (and their bastard siblingsestablished throughout the whole of the civilized world, such as TheBank of England and The Bank of France), The International MonetaryFund, The World Bank, and maybe you are even aware of The Bank ofInternational Settlements, in Switzerland-which is the granddaddy ofall private banks. Then there is the United Nations, the ultimate frontfor international banking interests. As this series of articlesunfolds, we shall examine these institutions in greater detail. Theworld is corrupt beyond your wildest dreams my fellow Americans-and we,perhaps, are the most gullible of all nations. Our great ingenuity,diversity, energy, resources, and strength are being fullyexploited-and not to the benefit of the average citizen by any stretchof the imagination.
For now, grasp this: The world you believeexists does not exist. We live in a form of “The Matrix,” not unlikethe world portrayed in John Carpenter’s movie “They Live,” except highgovernment officials and international bankers are the elite whocontrol all you see and hear as did the aliens portrayed in the movie.The news is a farce. As is the case with the financial institutionswhich are concentrated in the hands of the few, long ago the media wasbought and paid for, and in America this process was greatly reinforcedwith the 1996 Telecommunications Act. What you read and what you see ona daily basis is largely manufactured. You are being lied to, each andevery day. If you find this acceptable; by all means, please continueto accept at face value what you see on TV and read in newspapers andmagazines. If you do not find this acceptable, perhaps you need toconsider alternative forms of information gathering in order toaccurately assess your current and future environment, if for no otherreason, than the safety of yourself and/or your family.
Considerthis: There was a man by the name of John Swinton who worked for theNew York Times. He was greatly admired and known as "The Dean of HisProfession" by other newspapermen. The year was 1953 and in front ofthe New York National Press Club, he offered the following observation:“There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, as anindependent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of youwho dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you knowbeforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly forkeeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Othersof you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you whowould be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on thestreets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions toappear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupationwould be gone. The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth,to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon,and to sell the country for his daily bread. You know it and I know it,and what folly is this toasting an independent press. We are the toolsand vassals of the rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumpingjacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, ourpossibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We areintellectual prostitutes.”
Gee, who would have thought? Nexttime you watch Bill O’Reilly or Peter Jennings on TV or listen to aso-called “conservative,” such as Rush Limbaugh, simply imagine them asthey are, to wit, dressed in the garb and situated in such a mannertruly most befitting them: Leaning against a lamp post on a darkcorner, in an unsavory part of town, wearing tight, short skirts,garter belts, shameless amounts of make-up, smoking cheap cigarettes,and blatantly hawking their information “wares.” For you to associatewith these men is for you to associate with the paid harlots of theinternational bankers who completely control the media in America. I donot know about you, but I have no intention of being a “John” of theinternational banker and their cadre. Spending time with these folks isno different than making poor choices in determining with whom youmight associate with in real life-maybe worse.
From the timeof President George Washington, the fight for control of this nation’smoney has not ceased. In fact, since the very beginning of America,almost every presidential election has been dominated by discussion ofwho will control our money supply...that is until, finally, thehideous, unconstitutional monster known as the Federal Reserve Systemwas unleashed upon an unsuspecting nation in December of 1913 andcontrol began to finally be exercised over the people and press. Butlong before 1913, the power of the international banker was felt. Thewars we have fought. The principles for which we thought we fought.Nothing is or was as it seemed. Each and every war we have beeninvolved in has had at its very root one thing in common: Theinternational banker. Do you believe the American Revolution was abouttoo much taxes? Only in part. Do you believe the Civil War was aboutslavery? Only in part.
In colonial America, Paul Revere and BenFranklin played a large role in establishing Colonial Scrip. This waspaper money, backed by nothing accept the faith of the people, acceptedthroughout each of the colonies and it proved immensely popular. Theamount kept in circulation was closely tied to the population and theneeds of the people and industry. In short, the colonies thrived!However, back in England, because this Colonial Scrip was interest-free(as should be any legitimate government money, unlike our present debtsystem) and the colonies were indeed prospering tremendously(unemployment was unheard of), there was a problem: Where was thefinancial benefit to The Crown (or more accurately, to The Bank ofEngland)?
While traveling in England, Ben Franklin observed“There was abundance in the Colonies, and peace reigned on everyborder. It was difficult, even impossible, to find a happier and moreprosperous nation on all the surface of the globe. Comfort prevailed inevery home. The people, in general, kept the highest moral standards,and education was widely spread.” Franklin explained exactly why theColonies were so prosperous when he noted “Why, that is simple! In theColonies, we issue our own paper money. It's called ‘Colonial Scrip.’We issue it to pay the government's approved expenses and charities. Wemake sure it's issued in proper proportion to make the goods passeasily from the producers to the consumers. In other words, we makesure there is always adequate money in circulation for the needs of theeconomy. In this manner, by creating ourselves our own paper money, wecontrol its purchasing power, and we have no interest to pay, toanyone. You see, a legitimate government can both spend and lend moneyinto circulation, while banks can only lend significant amounts oftheir promissory bank notes, for they can neither give away nor spendbut a tiny fraction of the money the people need. Thus, when yourbankers here in England place money in circulation, there is always adebt principal to be returned and usury to be paid. The result is thatyou have always too little credit in circulation to give the workersfull employment. You do not have too many workers, you have too littlemoney in circulation, and that which circulates, all bears the endlessburden of unpayable debt and usury.” I bet Ben made fast friends withthe English bankers.
In Franklin’s own words, “The Colonieswould gladly have borne the little tax on tea and other matters had itnot been for the poverty created by the bad influence of the EnglishBankers on the Parliament, which has caused in the Colonies hatred ofEngland and the Revolutionary War.” Franklin further added that “...theinability of the colonists to get the power to issue their own moneypermanently out of the hands of George III and the internationalbankers was the prime reason for the Revolutionary War.”
In1751, England passed the first laws restricting the use of ColonialScrip, followed by even greater restrictions in 1754. Franklin reportedthat only one year after implementation of the prohibition on ColonialScrip, the streets of the Colonies were filled with unemployed andbeggars, just like those he had seen in England, because there was notenough money to pay for their goods and work. The English Banker's newlaws had reduced the circulating medium by half. Still think we went towar simply over a tea tax and other issues as suggested in the historybooks taught year after year to our children? Or has the role of theinternational banker been carefully removed from history, the truthsuppressed?
You see, The Bank of England (private institution,just as the Federal Reserve) was simply not benefiting from thisColonial Scrip. The rich men behind the scenes who loan money togovernments had managed to create the ultimate monopoly on the ultimatecommodity-money. This money-making monopoly was the privately ownedBank of England. Can you imagine if you, personally, had the ability tocreate all money at no cost other than the raw materials (paper andmetal) and loan it to a government at face value, PLUS interest? Whatif you could create electronic entries of money nearly 10 times theamount of cash you had on hand and loan out this “money” you havecreated out of thin air? What a scam! Yet, that is precisely how theprivately owned central banks of the world function. If we tried this,it would be called a “felony” and we would go to jail for a very, verylong time. Yet the whole of history seems filled with the legal“felonies” of international bankers, an elite breed whose actions areabove those of mere mortal men and not subject to the scrutiny of sillylaws-laws made for average people.
Fast forward to PresidentAbraham Lincoln. It was precisely because of Lincoln’s monetary policythat the international bankers backed French troops on the Mexicanborder and British troops on the Canadian border prior to the start ofThe Civil War. The south was made to suffer exorbitant tariffs on basicstaple goods sold to the north via Europe and its primary export,cotton, was purposely being replaced by Egyptian cotton and othersources, driving prices to all-time lows. The internationalbanker-backed nations were applying the classic divide and conquerstrategies to America-and of course financing both sides to the largestextent possible. After all, we were too prosperous. Britain and Francepositioned themselves to enter the war on the side of the South.Britain sent 11,000 troops to Canada. France installed ArchdukeMaximilian as emperor of all Mexico. French troops were then poised onthe Texas border. America was virtually surrounded.
Lincolnresponded with a naval blockade and a military alliance with Russia,which may have changed the fate of America and the world. How did thiscome about? Lincoln dispatched a letter to Russian Czar Nicholas (a mandespised by the international bankers as he too would not give in to adebt-based central banking system...a little problem they would remedya few years hence) who, knowing the letter to be from Lincoln,reportedly held it, unopened, in his hand and simply stated “The answeris yes to whatever he requests.” Russian ships made their way to NewYork and San Francisco harbors. The action gave the French and Britishgreat pause and perhaps averted tremendous additional bloodshed. Inreferring to the international bankers, Lincoln stated “The enemybehind us is more dangerous to the country than the enemy before us.”If you truly believe, as the history books claim, that the war was allabout slavery, think again. Although Lincoln was on record as beingopposed to slavery, it was not his primary concern.
On August22, 1862, in a letter to Horace Greeley, Lincoln penned “My paramountobject in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to saveor to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing anyslave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves Iwould do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving othersalone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the coloredrace, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what Iforbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save theUnion. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurtsthe cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more willhelp the cause.”
Now, imagine if a government simply created itsown money out of nothing, and it was backed by nothing more than thefull faith and credit of the government and people of the nation inquestion? Well, it has been done. Colonial Scrip was interest-free (noprofit for international bankers equals great prosperity for theaverage person). Again, during the Civil War, President Lincoln issued“greenbacks” based upon this precise premise and they proved enormouslypopular, serving also, to finance the Civil War. Although Lincoln didhave to turn to the international bankers for some assistance in theend, it was apparent that he intended after winning reelection, uponconclusion of the Civil War, that he would eliminate this debt and notdo business with the international money changers. It is precisely forhis efforts in this area that many say Lincoln was assassinated. It issaid that John Wilkes Booth was nothing less than a paidmercenary/murderer for the international bankers who could not bear tosee this huge nation expand and prosper without their absolute controlover the money of the growing nation.
Otto Von Bismarck, thefamous German Chancellor (1815-1898) remarked, “The death of Lincolnwas a disaster for Christendom. There was no man in the United Statesgreat enough to wear his boots...I fear that foreign bankers with theircraftiness and tortuous tricks will entirely control the exuberantriches of America and use it to systematically corrupt moderncivilization. They will not hesitate to plunge the whole of Christendominto war and chaos in order that the earth shall become theirinheritance.”
As I conclude, I put it to you that the FederalReserve is more powerful than the federal government. Heed Proverbs22:7, which states “The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower isservant to the lender.” The Fed controls availability of all money,credit, the amount of your car payment, the amount of your housepayment, whether or not you have a job (did your company get that loanto continue or expand its operations...or not?), and is, of course, thelargest single creditor to the United States government. (Fromapproximately 1980 to 1995 the United States of America’s “debt” to theFed, a private institution, grew from roughly 1 Trillion to 5 Trilliondollars...what was that you say...”...the borrower is servant to thelender.” Indeed.) They accomplish these mighty tasks by inflating andcontracting the money supply while creating money out of thin air.Every period of depression or recession in this country is not theso-called “business cycle” but rather is nothing more than the Fedexpanding or contracting the amount of money in circulation. There isnot a single time in the history of America where “bad times” were notassociated with the contraction of the money supply.
It isimportant to understand that money never truly disappears, it merelychanges hands. Joseph Kennedy was said to have had a couple milliondollars around 1929. By 1934, apparently he had amassed some 200million dollars. Money is never truly lost (for example, in the stockmarket); it only ends up in someone else’s pockets. (Or your house,your farm, your property, your car, etc...end up in the hands of thefew.) Therefore, understand, that those “in the know” stand to reap thegreatest profits not in times of prosperity, but in times of despair,because the most dramatic swings occur at such moments and thereforeoffer the greatest opportunities for profit. Needless to say, theaverage American is not “in the know.”
Some folks say, and Itend to agree, the worst of times are yet ahead. After all, the goal ofthe international banker is not merely profit, but complete control.Think about it. If you had all the money you could ever want...if youwere untouchable by the law...there would be only one thing left: Powerover others...and in the case of the international banker, the whole ofthe world will do nicely, thank you very much.
Sir Josiah Stamp,who was president of The Bank of England in the late 1920s, and thesecond richest man in the world, remarked “Banking was conceived ininiquity, and was born in sin. The Bankers own the Earth. Take it awayfrom them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with theflick of the pen, they will create enough deposits, to buy it backagain. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes likemine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for this would be ahappier and better world to live in. But if you wish to remain theslaves of Bankers, and pay the cost of your own slavery, let themcontinue to create deposits.”
A remark attributed to theRothschild Brothers of England states that “Those few who canunderstand the system (check book money and credit) will either be sointerested in its profits, or so dependent on it favors, that therewill be little opposition from that class, while on the other hand, thegreat body of people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendousadvantage that capital derives from the system, will bear it burdenswithout complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the systemis inimical to their interests.”
Do you want to “understand thesystem,” the one poised to destroy America and the whole of the world?President Garfield, who strongly opposed the international moneychangers noted “Whoever controls the volume of money in any country isabsolute master of all industry and commerce.” Not surprisingly,shortly after taking office, this brave and intelligent man was shotand died. Starting to see a pattern here? Do you think these people(international bankers) are absolutely merciless and arrogant? Do you?
ThomasJefferson said “Banking establishments are more dangerous than standingarmies.” Will we ever learn? Next week, we shall backtrack a little anddiscuss “Old Hickory,” namely President Andrew Jackson, perhaps thegreatest enemy of the international banker ever to walk the earth, andothers, and begin to further probe the enormous corruption and dangerfacing our nation and world today.
"History records that themoney changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, andviolent means possible to maintain their control over governments bycontrolling money and it's issuance."
