Subject: THE BEGINNING OF MONETARY CONTROL
Title: The New World Order Files
Author: David Allen Rivera
Napoleon said: "When a government is dependent for money upon the
bankers, they and not the leaders of the government control the
situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes...
financiers are without patriotism and without decency..." Karl Marx said
in the _Communist Manifesto_: "Money plays the largest part in
determining the course of history." The Rothschilds found out early,
that when you control the money, you basically control everything else.
So, while their political plans were being thwarted, they began to
concentrate on tightening their grip on the financial structure of the
world.
In the mid 1700's the Colonies were prospering because they were
issuing their own money, called Colonial Scrip, which was strictly
regulated, and didn't require the payment of any interest. When the
bankers in Great Britain heard this, the British Parliament passed a law
prohibiting the currency, forcing them to accept the debt money issued
by them. Contrary to what history teaches, the American Revolution was
not ignited by a tax on tea. According to Benjamin Franklin, it was
because "the conditions were so reversed that the era of prosperity
ended." He said: "The Colonies would gladly have borne the little tax on
tea and other matters had it not been the poverty caused by the bad
influence of the English bankers on the Parliament: which has caused in
the Colonies hatred of England and the Revolutionary War."
In 1787, our new Constitution gave Congress the power to "coin money,
(and) regulate the value thereof (Article 1, Section 8)." After Great
Britain tried to destroy and control the currency of our new country,
Congress realized the danger of fiat, or paper money created by law. In
1775, paper money had been issued to finance the war, and independent
state legislatures passed laws requiring citizens to accept it as legal
tender. Since it was created from nothing, and not backed by any
precious metal, inflation developed. By the end of the war, it took 500
paper dollars to get one silver dollar. Our forefathers wrote in Article
I, Section 10, of the U.S. Constitution: "No State shall enter into any
treaty, alliance or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal;
coin money; emit bills of credit; make any thing by gold and silver coin
a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ex post facto
law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of
nobility."
Alexander Hamilton, an Illuminist, and agent of European bankers, had
immigrated to the colonies in 1772 from the British colony of Nevis, on
the Leeward Islands in the British West Indies. He married the daughter
of Gen. Philip Schuyler, one of the most influential families of New
York. In 1789 he was appointed Secretary of the Treasury. Hamilton and
Robert Morris successfully convinced the new Congress not to take this
power literally, enabling the Bank of North America to be established in
1781, which was similar to the Bank of England. At the time, America had
a foreign debt of $12,000 (in money borrowed from Spain, France,
Holland, and private interests in Germany), and a domestic debt of $42,000.
In 1790, Hamilton, who favored Central Banking, urged the Congress to
charter a privately owned company to have the sole responsibility of
issuing currency, in order to handle the country's financial situation.
His Plan called for Congress to create a Central Banking system, with a
main office in Philadelphia, and smaller branches located in important
cities throughout the country. It would be used to deposit government
funds and tax collections, and to issue bank notes to increase the money
supply needed to finance the country's growth. This Bank of the United
States would have a capital stock plan of $10 million, with 4/5's/ /to
be owned by private investors, and 1/5 by the U.S. Government. It would
be administered by a President, and 25 Board of Directors, with 20 to be
elected by the stockholders, and 5 appointed by the government.
Central Banking was initiated by international banker William Paterson
in 1691, when he obtained the Charter for the Bank of England, which put
the control of England's money in a privately owned company which had
the right to issue notes payable on demand against the security of bank
loans to the crown. One of their first transactions was to loan 1.2
million pounds at 8% interest to William of Orange to help the king pay
the cost of his war with Louis XIV of France. Paterson said: "The bank
hath benefit of interest on all monies which it creates out of nothing."
Reginald McKenna, British Chancellor of the Exchequer (or Treasury),
said 230 years later: "The banks can and do create money...And they who
control the credit of the nation direct the policy of governments and
hold in the hollow of their hands the destiny of the people."
Hamilton's elitist views, and real purpose for wanting Central Banking
came to light, when he wrote: "All communities divide themselves into
the few and the many. The first are rich and well-born, the other the
mass of the people. The people are turbulent and changing; they seldom
judge or determine right."
In 1791, Jefferson said: "To preserve our independence, we must not let
our rulers load us with perpetual debt. If we run into such debts, we
(will then) be taxed in our meat and our drink, in our necessities and
in our comforts, in our labor and in our amusements. If we can prevent
the government from wasting the labor of the people under the pretense
of caring for them, they (will) be happy." Even though Thomas Jefferson,
and James Madison (later to be our 4th President, 1809-17) opposed the
Bill, Washington signed it into law on February 25, 1791, Alexander
Hamilton became a very rich man. He and Aaron Burr helped establish the
Manhattan Co. in New York City, which developed into a very prosperous
banking institution. It would later be controlled by Warburg-Kuhn-Loeb
interests, and in 1955 it merged with Rockefeller's Chase Bank to create
the Chase Manhattan Bank.
When Jefferson (1801-09) became President, he opposed the bank as being
unconstitutional, and when the 20 year charter came up for renewal in
1811, it was denied. Nathan Rothschild, head of the family bank in
England, had recognized America's potential, and made loans to a few
states, and in fact became the official European banker for the U.S.
Government. Because he supported the Bank of the United States, he
threatened: "Either the application for renewal of the Charter is
granted, or the United States will find itself in a most disastrous
war"; he then ordered British troops to: "Teach these impudent Americans
a lesson. Bring them back to Colonial status." This brought on the War
of 1812, our second war with England, which facilitated the rechartering
of the Bank of the United States. The war raised our national debt from
$45 million to $127 million.
Jefferson wrote to James Monroe (who later served as our 5th President,
1817- 25) in January, 1815: "The dominion which the banking institutions
have obtained over the minds of our citizens...must be broken, or it
will break us." In 1816, Jefferson wrote to John Tyler (who became our
10th President, 1841-45): "If the American people ever allow private
banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation, and
then by deflation, the banks and the corporations that will grow up
around them will deprive the people of all property until their children
wake up homeless on the continent their father's conquered...I believe
that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than
standing armies...The issuing power should be taken from the banks and
restored to the Government, to whom it properly belongs."
On May 10, 1816, President James Madison signed the Bill, which created
the second Bank of the United States. Inflation, heavy debt, and the
unavailability of an entity to collect taxes, were some of the reasons
given for its rechartering. The new charter allowed it to operate
another 20 years, raised its capital stock to $35 million, authorized
the creation of bank branches, and the issuing of notes with
denominations no smaller than $5.00. The new bank now had the power "to
control the entire fiscal structure of the country." The bank was run by
the Illuminati, through such international banker "front men" as John
Jacob Astor, Stephen Girard, and David Parish (a Rothschild agent for
the Vienna branch of the family).
In 1819, the Bank was declared constitutional by Supreme Court Justice
John Marshall (a Mason), who said that Congress had the implied power to
create the Bank.
People began to see how much power the Bank really had, and the voter
backlash led to the election of Andrew Jackson as President in 1828. His
slogan was: "Let the people rule." Jackson maintained: "If Congress has
the right under the Constitution to issue paper money, it was given them
to be used by themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or to
corporations." Jackson said that the control of a central bank "would be
exercised by a few over the political conduct of the many by first
acquiring that control over the labor and earnings of the great body of
people." During the 1828 presidential campaign, Jackson said in an
address before a group of bankers: "You are a den of vipers. I intend to
rout you out and by the Eternal God I will rout you out." He went on to
say: "If the people only understood the rank injustice of our Money and
Banking system, there would be a revolution before morning." Jackson
said that if such a Bank would continue to control "our currency,
receiving our public monies, and holding thousands of our citizens in
dependence, it would be more formidable and dangerous than the naval and
military power of the enemy..."
After fiscal mismanagement by its first President, former Secretary of
the Navy, Captain William Jones, the Bank was forced to call in loans
and foreclosed on mortgages, which caused bankruptcy, a price collapse,
unemployment and a depression. However, the Bank began to flourish under
its new President, financier Nicholas Biddle (1786-1844), who petitioned
the Congress for a renewal of the Bank's Charter in 1832, four years
before its current charter expired. The Bill for the new Charter passed
the Senate, 28-20, and the House 107-85, and everyone knew how Jackson
felt. Biddle threatened: "Should Jackson veto it, I shall veto him!"
Jackson did veto the Charter, and abolished the Bank in 1832. He ordered
the Secretary of the Treasury to remove all Government deposits from
U.S. Banks and deposit them in state banks. On January 8, 1835, Jackson
paid off the final installment on our national debt, and it was the only
time in history that our national debt was reduced to zero, and we were
able to accumulate a surplus, $35 million of which was distributed to
the States. Nicholas P. Trist, the President's personal secretary, said:
"This is the crowning glory of A.J.'s life and the most important
service he has ever rendered his country." The _Boston Post_ compared it
to Christ throwing the money-changers out of the Temple.
James K. Polk, the Speaker of the House (who later became the 11th
President in 1845) said: "The Bank of the United States has set itself
up as a great irresponsible rival power of the government."
The Bank continued to operate until 1836, and it was used by Biddle to
wreak havoc upon the economy by reducing loans and increasing the
quantity of money. Jackson became the first President of the United
States to be censured, which was done in March, 1834, "for removing the
government's deposits from the Bank of the United States without the
express authorization of the United States Congress." It is quite
obvious that he did it because of the "abuses and corruptions" of the
Bank, and the censure was later reversed by the Senate in 1837. The
Bankers continued their attempts to revive the Bank. President John
Tyler vetoed two bills in 1841/ /that would have rechartered the Bank of
the United States.
In 1837, the Rothschilds sent another of their agents to America. His
name was August Belmont (real name, August Schonberg, a cousin of the
Seligman family of Frankfurt, Germany). In 1829, as a 15 year-old, he
started working for the bank in Frankfurt, and proved himself to be a
financial genius. In 1832, he was promoted to the Bank at Naples, so he
could be fully integrated into international banking. He became fluent
in English, French, and Italian. His mission was to stir up financial
trouble within the southern banks. He ran a bank in New York City, and
established himself as a leading figure in financial circles by buying
government bonds, and later became a financial advisor to the President.
In 1857, the Illuminati met in London to decide America's fate. They
had to create an incident which would allow the establishment of a
Central Bank, and that had to be a war, since wars are expensive, and
governments have to borrow to pay for them. Canada and Mexico, weren't
strong enough, as evidenced by Santa Anna's defeat in Texas the year
before; England and France were too far away, and Russia wasn't under
their control; so they decided to "divide and conquer," by fermenting a
conflict between the North and the South. The North was to become a
British Colony, annexed to Canada, and controlled by Lionel Rothschild;
while the South was to be given to Napoleon III of France, and
controlled by James Rothschild.
In order to begin a movement that would lead to the secession of the
South from the Union, the Illuminati used the Knights of the Golden
Circle, which had been formed in 1854 by George W. L. Bickley, to spread
racial tension from state to state, using slavery as an issue. War-time
members included Jefferson Davis, John Wilkes Booth and Jesse James
(1847-1882,/ /a Mason, who after stealing gold from banks and mining
companies, buried nearly $7 billion of it all over the western states in
hopes of funding a second Civil War). The Ku Klux Klan, formed in 1867,
were the military arm of the Knights. The states which seceded, united
into the Confederate States of America, which meant they maintained
their independence, and that if the South would win, each state would be
like an independent country.
Abraham Lincoln informed the people that "combinations too powerful to
be suppressed by the ordinary machinery of peacetime government had
assumed control of various southern states." He had coastal ports
blockaded to keep supplies from being shipped in from Europe.
The Rothschilds financed the North through emissaries August Belmont,
Jay Cooke (who was commissioned to sell bond issues, arranging with
Belmont to sell Union bonds in Europe), J. and W. Seligman and Company,
and Speyer & Co.
Judah P. Benjamin (1811-84) of the law firm of Slidell, Benjamin and
Conrad, in Louisiana, was a Rothschild agent, who became Secretary of
State for the Confederacy in 1862. His law partner, John Slidell (August
Belmont's wife's uncle) was the Confederate envoy to France. Slidell's
daughter was married to Baron Frederick D'Erlanger, in Frankfurt, who
were related to the Rothschilds, and acted on their behalf. Slidell was
the representative of the South who borrowed money from the D'Erlangers
to finance the Confederacy.
Towards the end of 1861, England sent 8,000 troops to Canada, and in
1862, English, French and Spanish troops landed at Vera Cruz, Mexico,
supposedly to collect on debts owed them by Mexico. In April, 1861, the
Russian Ambassador to America had advised his government: "England will
take advantage of the first opportunity to recognize the seceded states
and that France will follow her." On June 10, 1863, French General
Elie-Frederic Forey, with the help of 30,000 additional French troops,
took over Mexico City, and controlled most of the country. Through his
representatives in Paris and London, Czar Alexander II in Russia
discovered that the Confederates had offered the states of Louisiana and
Texas to Napoleon III, if he would send his troops against the North.
Russia had already indicated their support for Lincoln, but wanted
something more to send their large navy to defend the country. On
January 1, 1863, as a gesture of goodwill, Lincoln issued his
Emancipation Proclamation to free the slaves, just as the Czar had done
with the serfs in 1861. On September 8, 1863, at the request of
President Lincoln and Secretary of State William H. Seward, Alexander
sent the Russian fleet to San Francisco and New York, and ordered them
"to be ready to fight any power and to take their orders only from
Abraham Lincoln."
Lincoln said: "The privilege of creating and issuing money is not only
the supreme prerogative of Government, but is the Government's greatest
creative opportunity. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers
will be saved immense sums of interest." On February and March, 1862,
and March 1863, Lincoln received Congressional approval to borrow $450
million from the people by selling them bonds, or "greenbacks," to pay
for the Civil War. They were not redeemable until 1865, when three could
be exchanged for one in silver. They were made full legal tender in
1879. Thus, Lincoln solved America's monetary crisis without the help of
the International Bankers. The _London Times_ later said of Lincoln's
greenbacks: "If that mischievous financial policy which had its origin
in the North America Republic during the late war in that country,
should become indurated down to a fixture, then that Government will
furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off its debts and be
without debt. It will become prosperous beyond precedent in the history
of the civilized governments of the world. The brains and wealth of all
countries will go to North America. That government must be destroyed or
it will destroy every monarchy on the globe." Bismarck, the German
Chancellor, said in 1876 about Lincoln: "He obtained from Congress the
right to borrow from the people by selling to it the 'bonds' of
States...and the Government and the nation escaped the plots of the
foreign financiers. They understood at once, that the United States
would escape their grip. The death of Lincoln was resolved upon."
Before the Lincoln administration, private commercial banks were able
to issue paper money called state bank notes, but that ended with the
National Banking Act of 1863, which prohibited the states from creating
money. A forerunner of the Federal Reserve Act, it began the movement to
abolish redeemable currency. A system of private banks were to receive
charters from the federal government which would give them the
authorization to issue National Bank Notes. This gave banks the power to
control the finances and credit of the country, and provided centralized
banking, under Federal control, in times of war. The financial panic
created by the International Bankers, destroyed 172 State Banks, 177
private banks, 47 savings institutions, 13 loan and trust companies, and
16 mortgage companies.
Salmon P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury (1861-64) under Lincoln,
publicly said that his role "in promoting the passage of the National
Banking Act was the greatest financial mistake of my life. It has built
up a monopoly which affects every interest in the country. It should be
repealed, but before that can be accomplished, the people will be
arrayed on one side and the bankers on the other, in a contest such as
we have never seen before in this country."
Lincoln said: "The money power preys upon the nation in times of peace
and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than
monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. I
see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes
me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been
enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the
money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working
upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in the
hands of a few and the Republic is destroyed...I feel at the moment more
anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst
of war."
On April 14,/ /1865, Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth, and that
same evening, an unsuccessful attempt by his fellow conspirators was
made on the life of Seward. In 1866, an attempt was made to assassinate
Czar Alexander II, and in 1881, the Czar was killed by an exploding bomb.
In Booth's trunk, coded messages were found, and the key to that code
was found among the possessions of Judah Benjamin. Benjamin had fled to
England, where he died. It was always known that Lincoln's death was the
result of a massive conspiracy. However, nobody realized how deep and
far reaching it was. In 1974, researchers found among the papers of
Edwin M. Stanton, Lincoln's Secretary of War, letters describing the
conspiracy cover-up, that were written to Stanton, or intercepted by
him. They also found the 18 pages that were removed from Booth's diary,
which revealed the names of 70 people (some in code) who were directly
or indirectly involved in Booth's original plan to kidnap Lincoln.
Besides Stanton's involvement in the conspiracy, Charles A. Dana,
Assistant Secretary of War (and member of the Illuminati); and Major
Thomas Eckert, Chief of the War Department's Telegraph Office, were also
involved.
Journals and coded papers by Colonel Lafayette C. Baker, Chief of the
National Detective Police, detailed Lincoln's kidnap and assassination
conspiracy, and subsequent cover-up. The plot included a group of
Maryland farmers; a group of Confederates including Jefferson Davis
(President of the Confederacy) and Judah Benjamin (the Confederate
Secretary of War and Secretary of State); a group of Northern Banking
and Industrial interests, including Jay Cooke (Philadelphia financier),
Henry Cooke (Washington, DC banker), Thurlow Weed (New York newspaper
publisher); and a group of Radical Republicans who didn't want the south
reunited with the North as states, but wanted to control them as
military territories, and included Sen. Benjamin Wade of Ohio, Sen.
Zechariah Chandler of Michigan, and Sen. John Conness of California. All
of these groups pooled their efforts, and used actor John Wilkes Booth,
a Confederate patriot. The original plan called for the kidnapping of
Lincoln, Vice-President Andrew Johnson, and Secretary of State Seward.
The National Detective Police discovered their plans, and informed
Stanton. Planned for January 18, 1865, the kidnap attempt failed.
Captain James William Boyd, a secret agent for the Confederacy, and a
prisoner of war in the Old Capitol Prison, was used by the National
Detective Police to report on the activities of the prisoners, and to
inform on crooked guards. He looked similar to Booth, and ironically,
had the same initials. Stanton had him released, and Boyd took over the
Northern end of the conspiracy, which had been joined by the Police and
the War Department. The North wanted to kill Lincoln, while Booth wanted
to kidnap him and use him as leverage to get Confederate prisoners of
war released.
Booth failed twice in March, and then ended up shooting Lincoln at
Ford's Theater. Boyd, warned that he could get implicated, planned to
flee to Maryland. He was blamed for attacking Seward, which he didn't.
Boyd was the one who was shot at Garrett's farm, and identified as
Booth. The Police and Stanton discovered that it was really Boyd, after
it was announced to the nation that it was Booth. The only picture taken
of Boyd's dead body was found in Stanton's collection. The body was
taken by Col. Lafayette Baker, to the old Arsenal Penitentiary, where it
was buried in an unknown place, under the concrete floor.
Baker and Detectives Luther and Andrew Potter, knew the case wasn't
closed, and had to find Booth to keep him from talking. They followed
his trail to New York, and later to Canada, England and India. He
allegedly faked his death and returned to the United States, where in
Enid, Oklahoma, he revealed his true identity on his deathbed. The
mortician who was summoned, instead of burying the corpse, had it
preserved, and it is still in existence today.
Baker broke off relations with Stanton, who was discharged from the
Army,and as head of the Secret Service in 1866. In 1867, in his book,
the _History of the U.S. Secret Service_, he admitted delivering Booth's
diary to Stanton, and on another occasion, testified that the diary was
intact when it was in his possession. This means that Stanton did remove
the pages to facilitate a cover-up, because the pages were found in his
collection.
Andrew Johnson, who became President, issued the Amnesty Proclamation
on May 29, 1865, to reunite the country. It stipulated that the South
would not be responsible for the debt incurred, that all secession laws
were to end, and that slavery was to be abolished. Needless to say, the
Rothschilds, who heavily funded the south, lost a lot of money. In
addition, the cost of the support of the Russian fleet cost the country
about $7.2 million. Johnson didn't have the constitutional authority to
give money to a foreign government, so arrangements were made to
purchase Alaska from the Russians in April, 1867. It was labeled as
"Seward's Folly" because it appeared that Seward purchased what was then
a worthless piece of land, when in fact it was compensation for the
Russian Navy. In August, 1867, Johnson, failed in an attempt to remove
Stanton from office, and impeachment proceedings were begun against him
in February, 1868, by Stanton and the Radical Republicans. Johnson was
charged with attempting to fire Stanton without Senate approval, for
treason against Congress, and public language "indecent and unbecoming"
as the nation's leader.
Sen. Benjamin F. Wade, President pro tempore of the Senate, next in the
line of Presidential succession, was so sure that Johnson would be
impeached, that he already had his Cabinet picked. Stanton was to be his
Secretary of Treasury. The May 26th vote was 35-19, one short of the
necessary two-thirds needed to impeach Johnson.
Col. Lafayette Baker, who threatened to reveal the conspiracy, was
slowly poisoned till he died in 1868.
President James A. Garfield, our 20th President, also realized the
danger posed/ /by the bankers and said: "Whoever controls the money of a
nation, controls that nation." He was assassinated in 1881, during the
first year of his Presidency.
In 1877, in Lampasas County, Texas, a group of farmers formed a group
called the Knights of Reliance, who were concerned about the financial
power being "concentrated into the hands of a few." Later renamed the
Farmers Alliance, it spread to 120 chapters throughout Texas, and by
1887 the movement stretched up to the Dakotas, and as far east as the
Carolinas. By the time 1890 rolled around, this Populist philosophy had
succeeded in establishing itself, and they had elected governors and
congressmen.
They advocated a progressive income tax; for railroads, communications,
and corporations to be regulated by the Federal government; the right to
establish labor unions; and government mediation to stabilize falling
commodity prices and the initiation of credit programs. They were
against the gold standard, and the country's private banking system,
which was centered at Wall Street. They were impressed with Lincoln's
"greenbacks," because of its ability to adapt in order to meet the
credit needs of the economy. They wanted the money supply to be
controlled by their elected representatives, and not the money interests
of Wall Street. They created the People's Party, and ran their own
independent presidential candidate in 1892. And in 1896, they hitched
their wagon to the campaign of Democrat William Jennings Bryan, who lost
to McKinley, effectively ending the Populist movement.
This political movement created the initial stirrings for what
eventually became the Federal Reserve Act.

The Times reported that over the last twenty years, the CIA owned
or subsidized more than fifty newspapers, news services, radio
stations, periodicals and other communications facilities, most
of them overseas. These were used for propaganda efforts, or even
as cover for operations.
Another dozen foreign news organizations were infiltrated by paid
CIA agents. At least 22 American news organizations had employed
American journalists who were also working for the CIA, and nearly
a dozen American publishing houses printed some of the more than
1,000 books that had been produced or subsidized by the CIA.
When asked in a 1976 interview whether the CIA had ever told its
media agents what to write, William Colby replied,
"Oh, sure, all the time."

capacity, or were attempting to expose/ thwart the takeover
agenda.]
Subject: THE BEGINNING OF MONETARY CONTROL
Title: The New World Order Files
Author: David Allen Rivera
Napoleon said: "When a government is dependent for money upon the
bankers, they and not the leaders of the government control the
situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes...
financiers are without patriotism and without decency..." Karl Marx said
in the _Communist Manifesto_: "Money plays the largest part in
determining the course of history." The Rothschilds found out early,
that when you control the money, you basically control everything else.
So, while their political plans were being thwarted, they began to
concentrate on tightening their grip on the financial structure of the
world.
In the mid 1700's the Colonies were prospering because they were
issuing their own money, called Colonial Scrip, which was strictly
regulated, and didn't require the payment of any interest. When the
bankers in Great Britain heard this, the British Parliament passed a law
prohibiting the currency, forcing them to accept the debt money issued
by them. Contrary to what history teaches, the American Revolution was
not ignited by a tax on tea. According to Benjamin Franklin, it was
because "the conditions were so reversed that the era of prosperity
ended." He said: "The Colonies would gladly have borne the little tax on
tea and other matters had it not been the poverty caused by the bad
influence of the English bankers on the Parliament: which has caused in
the Colonies hatred of England and the Revolutionary War."
In 1787, our new Constitution gave Congress the power to "coin money,
(and) regulate the value thereof (Article 1, Section 8)." After Great
Britain tried to destroy and control the currency of our new country,
Congress realized the danger of fiat, or paper money created by law. In
1775, paper money had been issued to finance the war, and independent
state legislatures passed laws requiring citizens to accept it as legal
tender. Since it was created from nothing, and not backed by any
precious metal, inflation developed. By the end of the war, it took 500
paper dollars to get one silver dollar. Our forefathers wrote in Article
I, Section 10, of the U.S. Constitution: "No State shall enter into any
treaty, alliance or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal;
coin money; emit bills of credit; make any thing by gold and silver coin
a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ex post facto
law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of
nobility."
Alexander Hamilton, an Illuminist, and agent of European bankers, had
immigrated to the colonies in 1772 from the British colony of Nevis, on
the Leeward Islands in the British West Indies. He married the daughter
of Gen. Philip Schuyler, one of the most influential families of New
York. In 1789 he was appointed Secretary of the Treasury. Hamilton and
Robert Morris successfully convinced the new Congress not to take this
power literally, enabling the Bank of North America to be established in
1781, which was similar to the Bank of England. At the time, America had
a foreign debt of $12,000 (in money borrowed from Spain, France,
Holland, and private interests in Germany), and a domestic debt of $42,000.
In 1790, Hamilton, who favored Central Banking, urged the Congress to
charter a privately owned company to have the sole responsibility of
issuing currency, in order to handle the country's financial situation.
His Plan called for Congress to create a Central Banking system, with a
main office in Philadelphia, and smaller branches located in important
cities throughout the country. It would be used to deposit government
funds and tax collections, and to issue bank notes to increase the money
supply needed to finance the country's growth. This Bank of the United
States would have a capital stock plan of $10 million, with 4/5's/ /to
be owned by private investors, and 1/5 by the U.S. Government. It would
be administered by a President, and 25 Board of Directors, with 20 to be
elected by the stockholders, and 5 appointed by the government.
Central Banking was initiated by international banker William Paterson
in 1691, when he obtained the Charter for the Bank of England, which put
the control of England's money in a privately owned company which had
the right to issue notes payable on demand against the security of bank
loans to the crown. One of their first transactions was to loan 1.2
million pounds at 8% interest to William of Orange to help the king pay
the cost of his war with Louis XIV of France. Paterson said: "The bank
hath benefit of interest on all monies which it creates out of nothing."
Reginald McKenna, British Chancellor of the Exchequer (or Treasury),
said 230 years later: "The banks can and do create money...And they who
control the credit of the nation direct the policy of governments and
hold in the hollow of their hands the destiny of the people."
Hamilton's elitist views, and real purpose for wanting Central Banking
came to light, when he wrote: "All communities divide themselves into
the few and the many. The first are rich and well-born, the other the
mass of the people. The people are turbulent and changing; they seldom
judge or determine right."
In 1791, Jefferson said: "To preserve our independence, we must not let
our rulers load us with perpetual debt. If we run into such debts, we
(will then) be taxed in our meat and our drink, in our necessities and
in our comforts, in our labor and in our amusements. If we can prevent
the government from wasting the labor of the people under the pretense
of caring for them, they (will) be happy." Even though Thomas Jefferson,
and James Madison (later to be our 4th President, 1809-17) opposed the
Bill, Washington signed it into law on February 25, 1791, Alexander
Hamilton became a very rich man. He and Aaron Burr helped establish the
Manhattan Co. in New York City, which developed into a very prosperous
banking institution. It would later be controlled by Warburg-Kuhn-Loeb
interests, and in 1955 it merged with Rockefeller's Chase Bank to create
the Chase Manhattan Bank.
When Jefferson (1801-09) became President, he opposed the bank as being
unconstitutional, and when the 20 year charter came up for renewal in
1811, it was denied. Nathan Rothschild, head of the family bank in
England, had recognized America's potential, and made loans to a few
states, and in fact became the official European banker for the U.S.
Government. Because he supported the Bank of the United States, he
threatened: "Either the application for renewal of the Charter is
granted, or the United States will find itself in a most disastrous
war"; he then ordered British troops to: "Teach these impudent Americans
a lesson. Bring them back to Colonial status." This brought on the War
of 1812, our second war with England, which facilitated the rechartering
of the Bank of the United States. The war raised our national debt from
$45 million to $127 million.
Jefferson wrote to James Monroe (who later served as our 5th President,
1817- 25) in January, 1815: "The dominion which the banking institutions
have obtained over the minds of our citizens...must be broken, or it
will break us." In 1816, Jefferson wrote to John Tyler (who became our
10th President, 1841-45): "If the American people ever allow private
banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation, and
then by deflation, the banks and the corporations that will grow up
around them will deprive the people of all property until their children
wake up homeless on the continent their father's conquered...I believe
that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than
standing armies...The issuing power should be taken from the banks and
restored to the Government, to whom it properly belongs."
On May 10, 1816, President James Madison signed the Bill, which created
the second Bank of the United States. Inflation, heavy debt, and the
unavailability of an entity to collect taxes, were some of the reasons
given for its rechartering. The new charter allowed it to operate
another 20 years, raised its capital stock to $35 million, authorized
the creation of bank branches, and the issuing of notes with
denominations no smaller than $5.00. The new bank now had the power "to
control the entire fiscal structure of the country." The bank was run by
the Illuminati, through such international banker "front men" as John
Jacob Astor, Stephen Girard, and David Parish (a Rothschild agent for
the Vienna branch of the family).
In 1819, the Bank was declared constitutional by Supreme Court Justice
John Marshall (a Mason), who said that Congress had the implied power to
create the Bank.
People began to see how much power the Bank really had, and the voter
backlash led to the election of Andrew Jackson as President in 1828. His
slogan was: "Let the people rule." Jackson maintained: "If Congress has
the right under the Constitution to issue paper money, it was given them
to be used by themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or to
corporations." Jackson said that the control of a central bank "would be
exercised by a few over the political conduct of the many by first
acquiring that control over the labor and earnings of the great body of
people." During the 1828 presidential campaign, Jackson said in an
address before a group of bankers: "You are a den of vipers. I intend to
rout you out and by the Eternal God I will rout you out." He went on to
say: "If the people only understood the rank injustice of our Money and
Banking system, there would be a revolution before morning." Jackson
said that if such a Bank would continue to control "our currency,
receiving our public monies, and holding thousands of our citizens in
dependence, it would be more formidable and dangerous than the naval and
military power of the enemy..."
After fiscal mismanagement by its first President, former Secretary of
the Navy, Captain William Jones, the Bank was forced to call in loans
and foreclosed on mortgages, which caused bankruptcy, a price collapse,
unemployment and a depression. However, the Bank began to flourish under
its new President, financier Nicholas Biddle (1786-1844), who petitioned
the Congress for a renewal of the Bank's Charter in 1832, four years
before its current charter expired. The Bill for the new Charter passed
the Senate, 28-20, and the House 107-85, and everyone knew how Jackson
felt. Biddle threatened: "Should Jackson veto it, I shall veto him!"
Jackson did veto the Charter, and abolished the Bank in 1832. He ordered
the Secretary of the Treasury to remove all Government deposits from
U.S. Banks and deposit them in state banks. On January 8, 1835, Jackson
paid off the final installment on our national debt, and it was the only
time in history that our national debt was reduced to zero, and we were
able to accumulate a surplus, $35 million of which was distributed to
the States. Nicholas P. Trist, the President's personal secretary, said:
"This is the crowning glory of A.J.'s life and the most important
service he has ever rendered his country." The _Boston Post_ compared it
to Christ throwing the money-changers out of the Temple.
James K. Polk, the Speaker of the House (who later became the 11th
President in 1845) said: "The Bank of the United States has set itself
up as a great irresponsible rival power of the government."
The Bank continued to operate until 1836, and it was used by Biddle to
wreak havoc upon the economy by reducing loans and increasing the
quantity of money. Jackson became the first President of the United
States to be censured, which was done in March, 1834, "for removing the
government's deposits from the Bank of the United States without the
express authorization of the United States Congress." It is quite
obvious that he did it because of the "abuses and corruptions" of the
Bank, and the censure was later reversed by the Senate in 1837. The
Bankers continued their attempts to revive the Bank. President John
Tyler vetoed two bills in 1841/ /that would have rechartered the Bank of
the United States.
In 1837, the Rothschilds sent another of their agents to America. His
name was August Belmont (real name, August Schonberg, a cousin of the
Seligman family of Frankfurt, Germany). In 1829, as a 15 year-old, he
started working for the bank in Frankfurt, and proved himself to be a
financial genius. In 1832, he was promoted to the Bank at Naples, so he
could be fully integrated into international banking. He became fluent
in English, French, and Italian. His mission was to stir up financial
trouble within the southern banks. He ran a bank in New York City, and
established himself as a leading figure in financial circles by buying
government bonds, and later became a financial advisor to the President.
In 1857, the Illuminati met in London to decide America's fate. They
had to create an incident which would allow the establishment of a
Central Bank, and that had to be a war, since wars are expensive, and
governments have to borrow to pay for them. Canada and Mexico, weren't
strong enough, as evidenced by Santa Anna's defeat in Texas the year
before; England and France were too far away, and Russia wasn't under
their control; so they decided to "divide and conquer," by fermenting a
conflict between the North and the South. The North was to become a
British Colony, annexed to Canada, and controlled by Lionel Rothschild;
while the South was to be given to Napoleon III of France, and
controlled by James Rothschild.
In order to begin a movement that would lead to the secession of the
South from the Union, the Illuminati used the Knights of the Golden
Circle, which had been formed in 1854 by George W. L. Bickley, to spread
racial tension from state to state, using slavery as an issue. War-time
members included Jefferson Davis, John Wilkes Booth and Jesse James
(1847-1882,/ /a Mason, who after stealing gold from banks and mining
companies, buried nearly $7 billion of it all over the western states in
hopes of funding a second Civil War). The Ku Klux Klan, formed in 1867,
were the military arm of the Knights. The states which seceded, united
into the Confederate States of America, which meant they maintained
their independence, and that if the South would win, each state would be
like an independent country.
Abraham Lincoln informed the people that "combinations too powerful to
be suppressed by the ordinary machinery of peacetime government had
assumed control of various southern states." He had coastal ports
blockaded to keep supplies from being shipped in from Europe.
The Rothschilds financed the North through emissaries August Belmont,
Jay Cooke (who was commissioned to sell bond issues, arranging with
Belmont to sell Union bonds in Europe), J. and W. Seligman and Company,
and Speyer & Co.
Judah P. Benjamin (1811-84) of the law firm of Slidell, Benjamin and
Conrad, in Louisiana, was a Rothschild agent, who became Secretary of
State for the Confederacy in 1862. His law partner, John Slidell (August
Belmont's wife's uncle) was the Confederate envoy to France. Slidell's
daughter was married to Baron Frederick D'Erlanger, in Frankfurt, who
were related to the Rothschilds, and acted on their behalf. Slidell was
the representative of the South who borrowed money from the D'Erlangers
to finance the Confederacy.
Towards the end of 1861, England sent 8,000 troops to Canada, and in
1862, English, French and Spanish troops landed at Vera Cruz, Mexico,
supposedly to collect on debts owed them by Mexico. In April, 1861, the
Russian Ambassador to America had advised his government: "England will
take advantage of the first opportunity to recognize the seceded states
and that France will follow her." On June 10, 1863, French General
Elie-Frederic Forey, with the help of 30,000 additional French troops,
took over Mexico City, and controlled most of the country. Through his
representatives in Paris and London, Czar Alexander II in Russia
discovered that the Confederates had offered the states of Louisiana and
Texas to Napoleon III, if he would send his troops against the North.
Russia had already indicated their support for Lincoln, but wanted
something more to send their large navy to defend the country. On
January 1, 1863, as a gesture of goodwill, Lincoln issued his
Emancipation Proclamation to free the slaves, just as the Czar had done
with the serfs in 1861. On September 8, 1863, at the request of
President Lincoln and Secretary of State William H. Seward, Alexander
sent the Russian fleet to San Francisco and New York, and ordered them
"to be ready to fight any power and to take their orders only from
Abraham Lincoln."
Lincoln said: "The privilege of creating and issuing money is not only
the supreme prerogative of Government, but is the Government's greatest
creative opportunity. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers
will be saved immense sums of interest." On February and March, 1862,
and March 1863, Lincoln received Congressional approval to borrow $450
million from the people by selling them bonds, or "greenbacks," to pay
for the Civil War. They were not redeemable until 1865, when three could
be exchanged for one in silver. They were made full legal tender in
1879. Thus, Lincoln solved America's monetary crisis without the help of
the International Bankers. The _London Times_ later said of Lincoln's
greenbacks: "If that mischievous financial policy which had its origin
in the North America Republic during the late war in that country,
should become indurated down to a fixture, then that Government will
furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off its debts and be
without debt. It will become prosperous beyond precedent in the history
of the civilized governments of the world. The brains and wealth of all
countries will go to North America. That government must be destroyed or
it will destroy every monarchy on the globe." Bismarck, the German
Chancellor, said in 1876 about Lincoln: "He obtained from Congress the
right to borrow from the people by selling to it the 'bonds' of
States...and the Government and the nation escaped the plots of the
foreign financiers. They understood at once, that the United States
would escape their grip. The death of Lincoln was resolved upon."
Before the Lincoln administration, private commercial banks were able
to issue paper money called state bank notes, but that ended with the
National Banking Act of 1863, which prohibited the states from creating
money. A forerunner of the Federal Reserve Act, it began the movement to
abolish redeemable currency. A system of private banks were to receive
charters from the federal government which would give them the
authorization to issue National Bank Notes. This gave banks the power to
control the finances and credit of the country, and provided centralized
banking, under Federal control, in times of war. The financial panic
created by the International Bankers, destroyed 172 State Banks, 177
private banks, 47 savings institutions, 13 loan and trust companies, and
16 mortgage companies.
Salmon P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury (1861-64) under Lincoln,
publicly said that his role "in promoting the passage of the National
Banking Act was the greatest financial mistake of my life. It has built
up a monopoly which affects every interest in the country. It should be
repealed, but before that can be accomplished, the people will be
arrayed on one side and the bankers on the other, in a contest such as
we have never seen before in this country."
Lincoln said: "The money power preys upon the nation in times of peace
and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than
monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. I
see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes
me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been
enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the
money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working
upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in the
hands of a few and the Republic is destroyed...I feel at the moment more
anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst
of war."
On April 14,/ /1865, Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth, and that
same evening, an unsuccessful attempt by his fellow conspirators was
made on the life of Seward. In 1866, an attempt was made to assassinate
Czar Alexander II, and in 1881, the Czar was killed by an exploding bomb.
In Booth's trunk, coded messages were found, and the key to that code
was found among the possessions of Judah Benjamin. Benjamin had fled to
England, where he died. It was always known that Lincoln's death was the
result of a massive conspiracy. However, nobody realized how deep and
far reaching it was. In 1974, researchers found among the papers of
Edwin M. Stanton, Lincoln's Secretary of War, letters describing the
conspiracy cover-up, that were written to Stanton, or intercepted by
him. They also found the 18 pages that were removed from Booth's diary,
which revealed the names of 70 people (some in code) who were directly
or indirectly involved in Booth's original plan to kidnap Lincoln.
Besides Stanton's involvement in the conspiracy, Charles A. Dana,
Assistant Secretary of War (and member of the Illuminati); and Major
Thomas Eckert, Chief of the War Department's Telegraph Office, were also
involved.
Journals and coded papers by Colonel Lafayette C. Baker, Chief of the
National Detective Police, detailed Lincoln's kidnap and assassination
conspiracy, and subsequent cover-up. The plot included a group of
Maryland farmers; a group of Confederates including Jefferson Davis
(President of the Confederacy) and Judah Benjamin (the Confederate
Secretary of War and Secretary of State); a group of Northern Banking
and Industrial interests, including Jay Cooke (Philadelphia financier),
Henry Cooke (Washington, DC banker), Thurlow Weed (New York newspaper
publisher); and a group of Radical Republicans who didn't want the south
reunited with the North as states, but wanted to control them as
military territories, and included Sen. Benjamin Wade of Ohio, Sen.
Zechariah Chandler of Michigan, and Sen. John Conness of California. All
of these groups pooled their efforts, and used actor John Wilkes Booth,
a Confederate patriot. The original plan called for the kidnapping of
Lincoln, Vice-President Andrew Johnson, and Secretary of State Seward.
The National Detective Police discovered their plans, and informed
Stanton. Planned for January 18, 1865, the kidnap attempt failed.
Captain James William Boyd, a secret agent for the Confederacy, and a
prisoner of war in the Old Capitol Prison, was used by the National
Detective Police to report on the activities of the prisoners, and to
inform on crooked guards. He looked similar to Booth, and ironically,
had the same initials. Stanton had him released, and Boyd took over the
Northern end of the conspiracy, which had been joined by the Police and
the War Department. The North wanted to kill Lincoln, while Booth wanted
to kidnap him and use him as leverage to get Confederate prisoners of
war released.
Booth failed twice in March, and then ended up shooting Lincoln at
Ford's Theater. Boyd, warned that he could get implicated, planned to
flee to Maryland. He was blamed for attacking Seward, which he didn't.
Boyd was the one who was shot at Garrett's farm, and identified as
Booth. The Police and Stanton discovered that it was really Boyd, after
it was announced to the nation that it was Booth. The only picture taken
of Boyd's dead body was found in Stanton's collection. The body was
taken by Col. Lafayette Baker, to the old Arsenal Penitentiary, where it
was buried in an unknown place, under the concrete floor.
Baker and Detectives Luther and Andrew Potter, knew the case wasn't
closed, and had to find Booth to keep him from talking. They followed
his trail to New York, and later to Canada, England and India. He
allegedly faked his death and returned to the United States, where in
Enid, Oklahoma, he revealed his true identity on his deathbed. The
mortician who was summoned, instead of burying the corpse, had it
preserved, and it is still in existence today.
Baker broke off relations with Stanton, who was discharged from the
Army,and as head of the Secret Service in 1866. In 1867, in his book,
the _History of the U.S. Secret Service_, he admitted delivering Booth's
diary to Stanton, and on another occasion, testified that the diary was
intact when it was in his possession. This means that Stanton did remove
the pages to facilitate a cover-up, because the pages were found in his
collection.
Andrew Johnson, who became President, issued the Amnesty Proclamation
on May 29, 1865, to reunite the country. It stipulated that the South
would not be responsible for the debt incurred, that all secession laws
were to end, and that slavery was to be abolished. Needless to say, the
Rothschilds, who heavily funded the south, lost a lot of money. In
addition, the cost of the support of the Russian fleet cost the country
about $7.2 million. Johnson didn't have the constitutional authority to
give money to a foreign government, so arrangements were made to
purchase Alaska from the Russians in April, 1867. It was labeled as
"Seward's Folly" because it appeared that Seward purchased what was then
a worthless piece of land, when in fact it was compensation for the
Russian Navy. In August, 1867, Johnson, failed in an attempt to remove
Stanton from office, and impeachment proceedings were begun against him
in February, 1868, by Stanton and the Radical Republicans. Johnson was
charged with attempting to fire Stanton without Senate approval, for
treason against Congress, and public language "indecent and unbecoming"
as the nation's leader.
Sen. Benjamin F. Wade, President pro tempore of the Senate, next in the
line of Presidential succession, was so sure that Johnson would be
impeached, that he already had his Cabinet picked. Stanton was to be his
Secretary of Treasury. The May 26th vote was 35-19, one short of the
necessary two-thirds needed to impeach Johnson.
Col. Lafayette Baker, who threatened to reveal the conspiracy, was
slowly poisoned till he died in 1868.
President James A. Garfield, our 20th President, also realized the
danger posed/ /by the bankers and said: "Whoever controls the money of a
nation, controls that nation." He was assassinated in 1881, during the
first year of his Presidency.
In 1877, in Lampasas County, Texas, a group of farmers formed a group
called the Knights of Reliance, who were concerned about the financial
power being "concentrated into the hands of a few." Later renamed the
Farmers Alliance, it spread to 120 chapters throughout Texas, and by
1887 the movement stretched up to the Dakotas, and as far east as the
Carolinas. By the time 1890 rolled around, this Populist philosophy had
succeeded in establishing itself, and they had elected governors and
congressmen.
They advocated a progressive income tax; for railroads, communications,
and corporations to be regulated by the Federal government; the right to
establish labor unions; and government mediation to stabilize falling
commodity prices and the initiation of credit programs. They were
against the gold standard, and the country's private banking system,
which was centered at Wall Street. They were impressed with Lincoln's
"greenbacks," because of its ability to adapt in order to meet the
credit needs of the economy. They wanted the money supply to be
controlled by their elected representatives, and not the money interests
of Wall Street. They created the People's Party, and ran their own
independent presidential candidate in 1892. And in 1896, they hitched
their wagon to the campaign of Democrat William Jennings Bryan, who lost
to McKinley, effectively ending the Populist movement.
This political movement created the initial stirrings for what
eventually became the Federal Reserve Act.

The Times reported that over the last twenty years, the CIA owned
or subsidized more than fifty newspapers, news services, radio
stations, periodicals and other communications facilities, most
of them overseas. These were used for propaganda efforts, or even
as cover for operations.
Another dozen foreign news organizations were infiltrated by paid
CIA agents. At least 22 American news organizations had employed
American journalists who were also working for the CIA, and nearly
a dozen American publishing houses printed some of the more than
1,000 books that had been produced or subsidized by the CIA.
When asked in a 1976 interview whether the CIA had ever told its
media agents what to write, William Colby replied,
"Oh, sure, all the time."
