This is a deep
bath into the conspiracy school of world history, all depending on perfect
foresight of the consequences of actions.
It is that impossibility that makes all such initiatives either still
born or terribly short lived. Besides I
know no better way to produce a disturbed mind that to provide money and
power. All of which will throw
intentions of the road back into the ditch.
Thus we have Herbert Hoover’s delightful comment of how a dozen problems
coming down the road toward you will mostly find the ditch instead.
Yet a
conspiracy is just that, a cabal to produce a problem. I have generally found human stupidity and
rank greed far more successful as a leading explanation. And that alone makes conspiracy impossible
unless you have discovered how to manage stupidity and greed. I find it easier to simply avoid them.
Yet all
actions have networks attached to them that even look like planning. That is not so. Just who achieved a happy outcome in
WWII? A serious effort was make to sort
things out well enough after but the full dissolution of the world order and
the frantic effort to fill the power vacuum by the USA to block a third war of
aggression was hardly a plan.
It is the
outcome stupid. Today we again have
nations annoying their neighbors in order to appease domestic
sensitivities. The only proper answer is
a thick skin. War has been obsolete for
two centuries and has merely induced depopulation which is a direct loss of
national wealth.
The
Gods of Money & Their New World Order Project: Endgame Has Begun
By RICHARD K. MOORE
Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who
writes the laws.
– Mayer Amschel
Rothschild (1744-1812), founder of the House of Rothschild
Perhaps the single
most important thing to know about power in the world today is that most
nations do not have control over their own currencies. Instead privately owned,
for-profit central banks – such as the Federal Reserve System in the US –
create money out of nothing and then loan it at interest to their respective
governments. This is an incredibly profitable scam, but that’s not the worst of
it.
Not only do the
central banks have the power to create money for free, they also have the power
to set interest rates, to decide how much credit is issued, and to decide how
much money is put into circulation. With this power central banks can – and do
– orchestrate boom and bust cycles, enabling the super-wealthy owners of the
banks to profit from investments during the booms, and buy up assets at bargain
prices during the busts. And that still isn’t the whole story.
The most profitable of
all central bank activities has been the financing of major wars, particularly
the two World Wars. When nations are engaged in warfare, with their very
survival at stake, the governments stretch their resources to the limit in the
competition to prevail. The struggle to get more financing becomes as important
as the competition on the battlefield. Moneylenders love a desperate borrower,
and vast fortunes have been made by extending credit to both sides in
conflicts: the longer a war continues, the more profit for the central bankers.
Centralised Wealth
Leads to Centralised Power
Some of the biggest men in the United States are afraid of
something. They know there is a power somewhere, so organised, so subtle, so
watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive that they had better not
speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.
– Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924), 28th President of the United States
Our political systems,
based on parties competing to get elected, are inherently prone to corruption. Just
as the struggle for financing is important in military campaigns, so is it
important in political campaigns. Wealthy donors are able to get special
treatment, when it comes to legislation and regulation that affects their
business interests. This kind of corruption, however, is only the tip of the
iceberg.
A more effective way
that wealth translates into power is by the placing of agents – individuals
loyal to wealthy backers – into positions of influence and power. For example, when
the Rothschilds and Rockefellers joined forces to establish the Federal
Reserve, they recruited an unknown professor, Woodrow Wilson, promised to make
him President, and secured a return promise that he would sign the Federal
Reserve bill when the time came. With their influence over party bosses,
their control of newspapers, and unlimited funding, they were able to get
Wilson elected. He may have later regretted his bargain with the devil, as
suggested in the above quotation.
A more modern example
is Obama, who in 2009 was tasked by Henry Kissinger (himself a key agent of the
Rockefellers) to create a “new world order.” Like Wilson, Obama appeared out of
political nowhere, was rocketed into the Presidency, and proved his loyalty in
office. In Obama’s case, this involved promptly turning the White House over
to central-banker agents from Wall Street – Timothy Geithner and his buddies.
They make the policy; Obama makes the speeches.
This kind of thing has
been going on for centuries, first in Europe and later in the US. What began as
the placement of a few key agents has evolved over time. What we have now is an
international web of control, with key agents placed in political parties,
governments and their agencies, the media, corporate boards, intelligence
services, and the military. At the centre of the web are the central banking
dynasties – the Gods of Money – who remain mostly behind the scenes, pulling
the strands of real power.
The Engineering of
Transformation
In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it
happens, you can bet it was planned that way.
– Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945), 32nd President of the United States
– Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945), 32nd President of the United States
Have you ever
daydreamed about what you would do if you had wealth and power? For some the
answer might be a life of leisure and indulgence, but for many their thoughts
would turn to changing the world, making the world ‘better’. An iconic example
would be Bill Gates, who would rather use the bulk of his fortune for making
changes in the world – primarily to do with population reduction – than devote
it to amassing still more wealth.
The Gods of Money are
like that. They’ve had wealth and power, in great excess, for generations, and
unlike you and me, they can do more than daydream. The business they have been
engaged in for the past couple of centuries has not been to accumulate more
wealth, rather it has been to transform the world into their own desired kind
of private fiefdom. They have been accomplishing this in a series of
transformational projects on a global scale. What is referred to as ‘The New
World Order’ is simply the latest in this series of projects.
The Great America
Project: An Ideal Base of Operations
When the American
colonies achieved independence from Britain, a new nation was created that
clearly had the potential to become a truly great world power. A huge
continent, bigger than all of Europe, and with immense resources, was available
to be conquered and exploited. If the Rothschilds could gain control of
America, they could use it as a base of operations to consolidate their power
globally.
During the 1800s the
US grew to become a formidable industrial power. We associate this rise to
power with names like Carnegie, Mellon, JP Morgan, and Rockefeller, who came to
be known as the ‘robber barons’. However it was Rothschild money, and
Rothschild-linked banks, which played the major role in financing this
industrialisation project. The Rothschilds were carefully preparing their
future base of operations. JD Rockefeller was the greatest of the robber
barons, and he was able to join the Gods of Money pantheon on more or less
equal terms with the Rothschilds.
With the US
established as a major industrial power, the next step was for the Gods of
Money to take firm control of this giant they helped create. As described
above, this was accomplished with the usual behind the scenes manipulations
through the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913.
The World War I
Project
The next step was to
play the European powers off against one another. With the backing of the
Rothschilds, as described in the book Hidden History (see sidebar on page 14 of this issue
of New Dawn), a secret
cabal of British elites engineered the ‘Great War’ with Germany, whose
industrial and financial power was beginning to eclipse that of the British
Empire. The cabal’s intention was to preserve British supremacy. The Gods
of Money, however, were playing a deeper game. Germany lost the war, but it was
the US that emerged as the main beneficiary, not Britain. [one of the great blunders of history was
British involvement with a French German rematch – goodbye Empire ]
While the European
powers were exhausting themselves in warfare, the US was supplying them with
the means to do so, and those supplies were being paid for by loans made
possible by the new Federal Reserve – which had been established just in time
for that purpose. When the war ended, the European powers owed astronomical
sums to the US, and the US had greatly expanded its industrial capacity in the
process of supplying war materials.
Before the war, the US, Britain, and Germany were more or less
on a par as industrial powers. With only negligible
military involvement, the US emerged from the war by far the greatest
industrial power, and the world’s wealthiest nation as well. But the US was
only one Great Power among many. It did not have a world-class fleet nor did it
have a world-class army.
The Fascism &
Communism Experiments
The Grand Project of
the Gods of Money has always been, as mentioned above, to transform the world
into their own private fiefdom. With their Great America project they were
building the geopolitical power base that would be needed to achieve that goal.
But there remained the question of how they would rule their fiefdom once
attained. They want to have absolute control over the population, and they
wanted to experiment with different means of exercising such control.
They saw their first
opportunity to experiment in the revolutionary ideas of Karl Marx, Friedrich
Engels, Leon Trotsky, and Vladimir Lenin. The Czarist regime in Russia was
weakening, and had been forced, by the 1905 Revolution, to implement
significant reforms. Weakened still further by defeats early in World War I, a
second communist revolution had every probability of success. There was a
danger, however, that the second revolution would lead to a democratic form of
socialism, which would not be the kind of regime the Gods of Money wanted for
their eventual fiefdom.
They saw in Lenin and
Trotsky leaders with autocratic ideas that suited their purposes. They arranged
for Lenin to be transported from Switzerland, and Trotsky from New York – both
to St. Petersburg – where they created the Bolshevik faction and took control
of the revolutionary aftermath. The Gods of Money then funded the development
of the Soviet Union, and thus launched an experiment with an autocratic regime
based on collectivist values.
The Gods of Money saw
their second opportunity to experiment in the ideas of the superbly charismatic
Adolf Hitler. When Hitler was arrested for leading the Beer Hall Putsch of
1923, they arranged for him to be given a comfortable jail existence where he
was able to develop his ideas in his magnum opus, Mein Kampf, which articulated a manifesto proposing, among other
things, to seek Lebensraum and enslave the Slavs. Hitler’s ideas centred around
nationalism, expansionism, eugenics, genocide, and brutal methods of population
control.
If Hitler were to come
to power in Germany, that would provide an opportunity to experiment with a
quite different kind of autocratic regime. In addition, due to his expansionist
ideas, and his hatred of communism, it would provide the means to carry out
another project in geopolitical transformation, a second Great War. Hitler was also
attractive to German elites, who saw in him a chance to restore Germany as a
Great Power.
The rest, as they say,
is history. By engineering the economic collapse of the Weimar Republic, and by
other means, Hitler was indeed helped into power in Germany. He was no pawn
however, and much of his hatred, due in part to the fact that the Rothschilds
are Jewish, was aimed at the Gods of Money themselves, whom he referred to as
the ‘Gnomes of Zurich’. That hatred did not detract from the value of the Nazi
experiment to the Gods of Money.
The World War II
Project
If we see that Germany is winning we should help Russia and if
Russia is winning we ought to help Germany and that way let them kill as many
as possible.
– Harry S. Truman
(1884-1972), 33rd President of the United States, NY Times, 24 June 1941
The next step in the
Great America project was to play all the other Great Powers off against one
another, on a grander scale than in the first Great War. This time, however,
the US was to play a major military role, so that it could emerge from the war
as not just one more Great Power, but as the world’s first global super power.
A major military role, yes, but a highly leveraged one, where the US suffered
negligible casualties compared to the astronomical casualties of most of the
other combatants.
From their secure
American base of operations, the Gods of Money helped arrange the rearmament of
Germany and the rapid rise of Japan as a modern industrial and military power,
while continuing to support the development of the Soviet Union. In this way,
as they say, the ducks were all lined up in a row. The US then pretended
benevolent neutrality and watched while Japan fought it out with China, and
Germany fought it out with the Soviet Union.
The US bided its time
and waited for the most opportune moment to join the fray. When the time came,
the US systematically provoked Japan, and made no attempt to defend against the
attack on Pearl Harbor, even though Roosevelt knew the exact time the attack
was to occur. The American people had been strongly against entering the war,
and Pearl Harbor, as planned, instantly transformed public opinion, enabling
the US to enter the war with the overwhelming support of its people. A ‘Day of
Infamy’ indeed, but every bit as much Roosevelt’s as Japan’s.
Again, the rest is
history. At the end of the war the US had 40% of the world’s wealth and
industrial capacity, dominance of the seven seas, permanent military bases
spread around the world, and a monopoly on nuclear weapons. Every other major
power was standing in rubble and drowning in debt, as intended. With the US
established as the first global super power, the Gods of Money set out to
create a postwar world order to be dominated by America.
The Postwar Regime:
Establishing the Foundations for a Globalist State
In 1944, an
international conference was convened at Bretton Woods, establishing new
globalist institutions, including the United Nations, International Monetary
Fund (IMF), and World Bank, according to a design that had been worked out
during the war by the Gods of Money’s Council on Foreign Relations. Under the
guise of establishing a regime of world peace and stability, the US arranged
for the other Western powers to be emasculated militarily. For its part, the US
maintained and expanded its military muscle.
Whereas the Nazi
experiment was terminated by the war, the Soviet Union survived as a Great
Power. As the primary wartime ally of America, and in light of the professed
harmonious intentions of the Bretton Woods system, the Soviets were looking
forward to peaceful coexistence with the West, despite their considerable
ideological differences. This was not to be, as it did not fit into the plans
of the Gods of Money, as they continued with their Grand Project of global domination.
America and Britain,
both firmly under the thumb of the Gods of Money, invented the myth of a
‘communist threat’, and proclaimed the Cold War, which served several purposes.
First, it was accompanied by a policy of containment, which aimed to prevent
the Soviets, and their Chinese ideological cousins, from participating in the
postwar economic boom, and also in inhibiting nations, such as Korea and
Vietnam, from choosing to follow a socialist path. Second, the Cold War
provided an excuse for the US to continue expanding its military might and
interventionist programs.
The Collective
Imperialism Project
With the US as an
unrestrained super power, a Pax
Americana regime prevailed in what was euphemistically called the
‘Free World’. With no need to defend their separate empires, the former
European Great Powers were able to participate along with America in a grand
program of neo-imperialism. This led to the greatest era of economic growth the
world had ever seen.
Growth became the
expected norm; any episode of non-growth was considered an aberration. The
expectation of growth became a structural part of national economies, leading
to routine deficit financing, government borrowing, and increasing national
debts – owed to the central banks. There was no Plan B: if growth faltered – a
dreaded recession episode – the only recourse was to borrow still more, if an
economy was to continue functioning.
The postwar growth
boom led to unprecedented prosperity throughout the West, as well as in Japan,
which in the postwar era could be considered part of the West. In addition,
sweeping programs of social reform were introduced, such as the National Health
Service in the UK, and even more far-reaching welfare-state arrangements
throughout Western Europe.
Partly because of the
dissolution of traditional empires, and partly because of the social-reform
measures, there was a sense in the postwar world that democratic values were on
the rise. Governments were being more responsive to the needs and wishes of the
people. The Enlightenment values of personal freedom and the rights of citizens
were enshrined in the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It seemed as if a new golden age of
democracy and ever-improving social conditions had arrived.
Economic stability
plus everlasting economic growth, along with peace guaranteed by a benevolent
Uncle Sam: how sweet it was! With their postwar regime the Gods of Money had
seduced the ‘Free World’ into a bubble of dependency. The UN Charter guaranteed
the principle of national sovereignty, and no one (exception: Charles de
Gaulle) seemed to realise that when someone else is guaranteeing your
sovereignty, you no longer have sovereignty. Growth became the new opiate of
the people, and no one seemed to realise that everlasting growth on a finite
planet is a mathematical impossibility.
With most of the world
willingly tied to a leash of dependency on American leadership, and with
America firmly under the thumb of the Federal Reserve, the Gods of Money could
now proceed to lead the world down the garden path toward total subjugation.
The Global
Destabilisation Project: Nixon & the Gold Standard
For nearly 30 years,
from 1944 to 1971, the Bretton Woods system operated more or less as
advertised. The dollar was pegged to gold, with other currencies pegged to the
dollar, providing the promised financial stability. Growth continued, providing
the expected prosperity and rising living standards. However, with the US
embroiled in a costly and unwinnable war in Vietnam, the American economy was
beginning to falter. In 1971, in order to continue financing the war, Nixon
took the dollar off the gold standard.
The Cold War project
had provided an opportunity to abandon the stability project. Currency values
could now fluctuate, enabling currency speculation, and introducing uncertainty
into the valuation of international transactions. No great harm resulted at
first, but a central pillar of financial stability had been removed. Today,
only a tiny percentage of currency transactions have to do with the real
economy, and the rest are rampant and destabilising speculation.
In 1980 the Gods of
Money moved their destabilisation project into a higher gear. They arranged for
their agents, Reagan and Thatcher, to take leadership in the US and UK, and a
media propaganda campaign was launched to reintroduce the long-discredited
doctrine of laissez-faire economics, which had created the horrific Dickensian
conditions of the Victorian era.
Based on a fraudulent
economic analysis promulgated by Milton Friedman’s Chicago School of Economics,
the claim was made that reducing corporate taxes and regulations would lead to
a stronger economy and benefits would accrue to all, including even government
budgets. The charismatic Ronald Reagan talked about ‘getting government off our
backs’, and proclaimed that ‘government is not the solution; it is the
problem’.
There is of course
much truth in those words, but increasing corporate power at the expense of
government power was not at all a path to either prosperity or to personal
freedom. One might have wondered how a career as a film actor and TV advertiser
qualified someone to be President, but the mystery vanishes when one realises
that the main job of the President is to tell lies convincingly to a credulous
public, in support of the agendas of the Gods of Money.
Along with reducing
corporate taxes and regulations, the new economic policies included encouraging
corporations to move their operations to low-waged countries, which led to the
de-industrialisation of both America and Britain. The Bretton Woods regime was
being systematically undermined, and the decline of both stability and
prosperity was thus ensured.
The European Union
Project
The populations of
continental Western Europe, having experienced on their own doorsteps the
ravages of fascism and war, were less vulnerable to the kind of facile
propaganda that succeeded so well with the more sheltered populations of
Britain and America. A more nuanced campaign was required to destabilise
continental Europe.
The propaganda
campaign to sell the Maastricht Treaty didn’t talk about ‘getting government
off our backs’, which wouldn’t have gone over very well in those economies,
where the welfare state was both popular and successful. Instead it was argued
that a European Union would put Europe on a par with the powerful USA, and it
was even argued that the EU was necessary to prevent future wars among the
European powers.
The reality of the EU
was that it delivered Europe directly into the hands of the Gods of Money.
Unlike the European nations themselves, which are governed by elected
Parliaments and Prime Ministers, the Brussels regime is dominated by the
European Commission, which is unelected and which the Gods of Money can easily
arrange to be staffed by their own selected agents.
A central part of the
pro-EU propaganda campaign had been promises about ‘subsidiarity’ – decisions
were allegedly to be taken at the lowest possible level, depending on the
issues involved: loss of sovereignty needn’t be feared. Brussels was to make
decisions only on matters that affected the EU as a whole. Once the EU was
established, however, the term subsidiarity began to disappear from usage, and
over time more and more power has been shifted from national governments to
Brussels. Today, every aspect of life in the EU is affected by reams of
unreadable EU regulations.
The final nail in the
coffin of European national sovereignty, and financial stability, came with the
adoption of the Euro in 1999. Without the ability to control their own
currencies, nations had no real control over their financial viability. Today
the folly of a common currency, among nations with quite different economic
circumstances, is well covered in the financial press. But the truth of this
folly was there from the beginning, and the Gods of Money were well aware of
it.
The Neoliberal Project
& the Globalisation of Poverty
In 1994 the North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was signed by the US, Canada, and Mexico.
This treaty undermined the economies and sovereignty of all three nations.
Under the guise of ‘free trade’, it was really about empowering corporations at
the expense of nations – the Reagan-Thatcher revolution on steroids. Under such
treaties corporations have the right to sue governments if regulations
undermine corporate profits. Consumer safety, environmental protection, and
worker’s rights are of little concern to the corporate-controlled World Trade
Organization (WTO) process that renders judgments on such suits. Since then a number
of similar ‘free trade zone’ treaties have been pursued involving various
combinations of nations.
The Neoliberal Project
got into high gear in 1995, with the establishment of the World Trade
Organization, replacing the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). The
WTO promptly launched a systematic campaign to increase the power of
corporations, by means of ‘free trade’ treaties that are binding on all members
of the WTO, including of course the EU. The overall effect of the Neoliberal
Project has been to lower living standards, undermine national sovereignty,
destabilise national finances, and in general to destroy everything that the
Bretton Woods system was designed to protect.
In the so-called
‘third world’, particularly in sub-Sahara Africa, the ravages of the Neoliberal
Project have been extended still further by the actions of the IMF and by other
means – as documented by John Perkins in Confessions of an Economic Hitman. Governments are encouraged,
or forced, to take on debts that they have no ability to repay. When the
governments then turn to the IMF for relief, additional loans are granted, but
they are encumbered by draconian conditions. Governments are forced to cut
social services, and are required to sell off national assets, such as water
rights, at bargain basement prices to corporations. It becomes illegal, to give
an example of what draconian means, for people to capture rainwater, as that is
deemed to be stealing from the corporations that have bought the nation’s water
rights. By such means poverty has been systematically created wherever the IMF
has managed to dig in its claws.
Destabilising
Enlightenment Values: The ‘War on Terror’
On 11 September 2001
the Gods of Money arranged for the controlled demolition of the World Trade
Center, and arranged also for that to be blamed on an imaginary Al Qaeda
conspiracy to ‘destroy our freedoms’. In fact our freedoms have been destroyed
– not by Al Qaeda, but by the Gods of Money themselves.
The Gods of Money were
applying a lesson learned from the Nazi experiment: the demolition of the World
Trade Center was a replay of the Reichstag Fire, which was also a ‘false flag’
event, blamed in that case on a ‘communist conspiracy’. Just as the Reichstag
Fire was followed by the Nazi’s Enabling Act, so 9/11 was followed by the
Patriot Act. Both Acts destroyed all constitutional guarantees of civil
liberties, leading in both cases to concentration camps, the legitimisation of
torture, indefinite detention without legal recourse, and the establishment of
unaccountable police-state regimes.
Partly due to the
psychological impact of 9/11, partly due to the hidden influence of the Gods of
Money, and partly due to additional false flag events (e.g. the 7/7 bombings in
London) governments everywhere have implemented ‘anti-terrorist’ legislation
that seriously undermines civil liberties that had long been considered
sacrosanct.
Besides enabling the
domestic curtailment of civil liberties, the ‘War on Terror’ also became an
excuse for military interventionism – one excuse among many. In addition, we
saw the emergence of ‘humanitarian’ interventions, and the fabrication of
excuses such as non-existent ‘weapons of mass destruction’. Such excuses
enabled the wars against Iraq and Afghanistan.
Another interventionist
tactic, used for example in Kosovo and Libya, has been the recruitment of
mercenary terrorists to play the role of ‘domestic freedom fighters’. This then
provides an excuse for ‘humanitarian’ interventions. In the case of Syria,
mercenary terrorists have themselves been the primary means of destabilisation.
One can hardly keep up with all the interventions. In Africa, the US has set up
AFRICOM, a military command established to facilitate interventions and
destabilisation throughout Africa.
One can identify
geopolitical and economic reasons for these various interventions, such as
control over energy and mineral resources. However, from a big-picture
perspective, the overall effect has been to undermine the principle of national
sovereignty, and also to create a large number of ‘failed states’.
Transforming Economics
– Controlled Demolition of Capitalism
As mentioned earlier,
economic growth cannot continue forever on a finite planet. Quite clearly the
capitalism/growth paradigm must come to an end sooner or later. Based on these
facts, many analysts have been predicting the collapse of civilisation. Some
even see this as a good thing, an opportunity to build a new society from the
ground up.
These analysts either
don’t understand the degree to which power is centralised in today’s world, or
else they assume those who have power are blind and stupid; the Gods of Money
are neither. They’ve been planning the successor to the growth paradigm since
the establishment of the Club of Rome in 1968, if not earlier. Rather than
letting capitalism collapse of its own accord, they’ve arranged for a
controlled collapse, so that they can fashion an outcome of their own choosing.
The financial collapse
of 2008 did not happen by accident; it was a project engineered by the Gods of
Money. There will be no recovery from the collapse because a recovery is not
intended. Instead of an economy based on market activity, we’re to have a
globally micro-managed economy, as presaged by the widespread deployment of
‘smart meters’. Lessons learned in the Soviet experiment are to be applied
globally.
The foundation for the
2008 collapse project was the establishment of the ‘mark-to-market’ rule, also
known as ‘Basel II’. This was an edict of the Bank of International Settlements
(BIS), the central bank of central banks, with headquarters in Basel,
Switzerland. This rule requires banks to value their assets according to what
they could be sold for immediately on the markets.
What this means is
that a temporary slump in some asset value deflates the value of all related
assets. This is of little concern in rising markets, but in any kind of serious
downturn it can render a bank insolvent unnecessarily. Markets do fluctuate,
and banks routinely ride out bumps in values. The mark-to-market rule means
that a survivable market bump can turn into a derailment: a time bomb had been
placed in the global financial system.
With this bomb in
place, the stage was set for the demolition project. The first step, arranged
by Wall Street agents of the Gods of Money, was the repeal of the
Glass–Steagall Act in the US. This gave Wall Street the freedom it needed to
proceed with the rest of the project. Next, global credit lines were opened
wide, creating all kinds of loans that could never be repaid, particularly in
the US housing market. Those bad mortgages were then bundled into derivatives,
and phony insurance was attached so that the derivatives could be given a
triple-A rating. These toxic derivatives were then marketed aggressively on
global markets.
A housing bubble had
been created; the toxic derivatives spread the risk throughout the banking
system, and the time bomb ensured that when the bubble burst the banking system
would be rendered insolvent. In 2008 the bubble did burst, and the planned
insolvencies immediately followed. But that was not the worst of it.
If a bank, or any
business, becomes insolvent, the sensible thing to do is to place the business
into receivership and arrange for an orderly disposition of its assets and
liabilities. What this means in the case of an insolvent bank is that the bank
can be closed down on a Friday, and re-opened on the Monday under state
ownership. The bad loans can be handed over to the unsecured creditors, and
normal banking operations can be resumed. The bank can then be operated by the
state, or it can be sold back into the private sector.
As if this well-known,
orderly procedure didn’t exist, the Gods of Money were able to promulgate a
nonsense doctrine called ‘too big to fail’. In order to help facilitate this
scam, compliant officials and media claimed that the banks were suffering not
from insolvency, but only from a temporary liquidity crisis. Based on this lie,
an insane program of bank bailouts was launched. Because the banks were insolvent,
governments could not possibly fulfil their fraudulently assumed bailout
obligations. As bailout payments became due, governments were forced to borrow
to fulfil them. The Gods of Money now had governments exactly where they wanted
them.
The outcome, as
planned, was the transformation of bank insolvency into government insolvency.
Governments got their needed loans, but with onerous conditions attached
– the same kind of conditions the IMF had been attaching to loans to
‘third world’ countries for decades. Instead of the banks going into
receivership, governments were being forced into receivership, beginning with
those with the greatest bailout exposure – Portugal, Ireland, Greece, and
Spain.
The Gods of Money sent
their agents (troikas) into these countries, taking over control of national
budgets. A regime of austerity was decreed, guaranteeing that there could be no
economic recovery, and a sell-off of national assets began – at bargain
basement prices. Countries like France and Germany have been economically
strong enough to survive the initial assault, but as the global economy
continues to deteriorate they will eventually be pulled into the trap of
insolvency as well. The more they try to save the Eurozone, the more they will
be mired in debt. The US is already over its head in debt, partly from
bailouts, and partly for reasons of its own such as military over-extension.
Throughout the West
the following scenario is being created: rather than sovereign nations
operating according to market forces, we’ll have nations that are owned by the
Gods of Money, operating on the basis of budgets allocated by the central
banks. The goal of central governance will have been in practice achieved, by
means of debt, and a regime of economic micro-management will have been
achieved as well, as it already has been in the weaker economies.
The Endgame –
De-Americanisation & the Empowerment of the UN
The Persian Gulf crisis is a rare opportunity to forge new bonds
with old enemies (the Soviet Union)… Out of these troubled times a New World
Order can emerge under a United Nations that performs as envisioned by its
founders.
– US President George
Bush Sr., State of the Union Address, 29 January 1991
In the context of
multiple interventions, wars, drone strikes, etc., that the US, usually with
the help of the UK, routinely engages in – with little or no concern for
international law, public opinion, or consequences to civilians – it was
extremely surprising that first UK Prime Minister David Cameron and then US
President Obama abandoned their promise to respond to Obama’s ‘red line’ about
Syria’s alleged use of chemical weapons, by referring the matter to Parliament
and Congress, where ‘NO’ votes were all but certain to follow.
Not everyone
recognised right away that a momentous shift was signalled by this
unprecedented back down, but the magnitude of the shift soon became apparent to
all as subsequent events began to unfold. The first remarkable follow-on event
was the sudden rise to diplomatic prominence of Russian President Vladimir
Putin. Even that was eclipsed by the announcement Washington and Iran were to
engage in what sounds like very promising face-to-face negotiations over the
nuclear issue, to the dire chagrin of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu, who up until then seemed to be the tail wagging the American dog in
the Middle East.
Such momentous shifts
on a global scale do not happen by accident, as we have seen in our whirlwind
review of two centuries of history. Such events must be interpreted in the
context of the agenda of the Gods of Money, and in particular with their Grand
Project, to transform the world into their own private fiefdom. They’ve
‘cleared the building site’ by destabilising the world in the many ways
described above, and they’ve already begun to micromanage national budgets. The
time has come, apparently, to get on with the formal installation of their New
World Order. Not by force, but by popular acclaim.
The Sudden Emergence
of Putin as a World Leader
There has been a
struggle going on for some time between the US on the one hand, and Russia,
China, and the BRICS nations on the other, regarding the latter’s desire for a
multipolar world, rather than a US-dominated unipolar world. The persistence of
the dollar as a reserve currency, and US exceptionalism in general, have been
of serious concern, and always the US has been jealous to guard what it has
seen as its legitimate prerogatives.
In the cases of Syria
and Iran, for example, appeals for sanity from Putin and others were ignored,
or responded to with traditional US arrogance. Suddenly all that’s changed.
Putin in particular has been elevated to the status of respected world leader,
and it would have been inconceivable only a short time ago that the US would
leave Russia in charge of dismantling Syria’s chemical weapons. Putin has not
changed his tune or his style; he’s saying the same things he’s always been
saying. What’s changed is that he isn’t being dismissed by Washington. And the
global media, controlled of course by the Gods of Money, is now featuring him
in almost heroic terms. Multipolarism has become overnight a reality.
De-Americanisation
American
interventionism, and outrage against it, is of course nothing new. But
particularly since 9/11 such episodes have become more and more dangerous. With
threats of war with Iran, a ‘pivot to the East’ aimed against China, and other
recent moves, it seemed we were verging toward a situation that might even
trigger a full-blown nuclear confrontation on a global scale – the fulfilment
of the ominous ‘Project for a New American Century’.
The world, as we’ve
been seeing in media reports since the ‘red line’ backdown, is more than ready
to embrace de-Americanisation. American leadership, widely welcomed after World
War II, has long-since passed out of favour. One can almost hear a sigh of
relief when reading some of the optimistic words of pundits. And who could not
be relieved by the turn of events we’ve seen since Washington no longer seems
to be calling all the shots? When Obama speaks, we typically hear the rhetoric
of a politician; when Putin speaks, we hear the reasoned words of an astute
statesman.
The Empowerment of the
UN
Childbearing [should be] a punishable crime against society,
unless the parents hold a government license… All potential parents [should be]
required to use contraceptive chemicals, the government issuing antidotes to
citizens chosen for childbearing.
– David Brower, first Executive Director of the Sierra Club
It does not take much
imagination to see where these developments are heading. Diplomacy is taking
centre stage, and new voices are being heard in the discourse of the ‘international
community’. Expectations are rising that long-standing tensions and
long-simmering crises may finally become resolvable. As real results begin
feeding into these expectations, as will happen when the Iran crisis is settled
and when the media starts saying the right things, there will emerge what
amounts to a public outcry to carry this progress forward, to make sure that
reason and diplomacy become the norm in international relations.
Out of the created
crisis of American exceptionalism we will be treated with a ‘solution’ –
putting teeth into the United Nations (UN) process. No more American vetoes in
defiance of global sentiment! No more American (or Israeli) military
adventurism! Let the UN do the job it was designed to do, we will hear, to provide
a forum where issues can really be resolved, and to have the ability to carry
out the resulting decisions on the ground. A ‘reformed’ UN won’t be called a
world government, but the kinds of powers granted by the ‘reforms’ will amount
to the same thing. The word subsidiarity may emerge again, if needed, to
silence dissenting voices, but as with the EU such assurances would be
meaningless.
It is important to
notice that these recent breakthroughs and shifts are all in the realm of
geopolitics. In this push toward centralised governance all attention is being
focused on war and peace issues. Everyone, presumably, wants peace and
stability among nations. We are being offered an attractive wooden horse named
Peace, and we’re not hearing much about what’s inside the horse. Beware of
elites bearing gifts.
In fact we know quite
a bit about what is carried within the horse, but I’ve space here for only an
example or two. Agenda 21 is one the most frightening pieces of cargo the horse
carries. This agenda starts with legitimate concerns regarding sustainability,
and transforms them into a Green Monster that aims to micromanage every aspect
of our lives, to an extent that makes the old Soviet regime seem almost like
free enterprise by comparison. Anyone not familiar with Agenda 21 would be well
advised to do some research.
In the realm of
international relations there are some frightening indicators, in particular
regarding drone strikes. One would hope those diabolic machines would be
outlawed altogether if we’re moving toward a more harmonious world. But no,
already the UN is considering the drone issue, and wants to set up some kind of
rating system to distinguish good strikes from bad strikes.
Which brings up the
whole question of ‘terrorism’. As I’ve claimed above, and the evidence really
is decisive, much of what is called ‘terrorism’ is really either false flag
operations, or else the acts of mercenaries working for Western intelligence
agencies, in the pursuit of some destabilisation or regime-change project. If the
pretence is to continue – in our diplomacy-based world – that all this
‘terrorism’ is real, and that civil liberties must continue to be sacrificed,
then our wooden horse isn’t as attractive as it might first appear.
There are two things
we can be sure of, regarding what comes with our wooden horse. First, the UN
will end up micro-managing society, by means of unaccountable bureaucracies,
like the IMF, IPCC, WHO, etc. Second, with so many of our traditional systems
intentionally destabilised, we can expect that a ‘solution’ will be given to
us, in terms of a new cultural and economic paradigm.
An earlier article of mine, published in New
Dawn 128 (Sept-Oct 2011), went
into some detail as to the kinds of cultural changes the Gods of Money most
likely have in store for us, based on various available indicators: ‘The
Elite Plan for a New World Social Order’, viewable athttp://www.newdawnmagazine.com/articles/the-elite-plan-for-a-new-world-social-order;http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-elite-plan-for-a-new-world-social-order/27188
