We must take a stand or let our children fall, it’s that simple.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

3 Mar 2024<\/em> – Last week, former UK Prime Minister\u00a0Liz Truss<\/strong>\u00a0gave us\u00a0a stonker of a revelation<\/a>\u00a0which, I believe deserves to be set to the record. Truss appeared in\u00a0Steve Bannon<\/strong>\u2018s War Room and said this:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I found out when I got into No. 10 is, I thought that if I got to the top of the tree, I would be able to implement those conservative policies\u2026 And what I discovered was that I was not holding the levers. The levers were held by the Bank of England, by the Office of Budget Responsibility, they weren\u2019t held by the Prime Minister or the Chancellor\u2026\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Truss goes on to point out the obvious problem with this: you can sack the Prime Minister, but you can\u2019t sack the BOE officials who hold the levers of power. Around the same time of this revelation, Glenn Beck<\/strong> dropped a similar clue. In his interview with <\/a>Tucker Carlson<\/a><\/strong> published on 21 February 2024 he shared a story of his encounter with George W. Bush<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

I thought of something George Bush told me in the Oval Office. I was asking about the policies and how they were going to change, and he said, \u201cGlenn, don\u2019t worry, whoever sits behind this desk, in that chair, is going to have the same advice given by the same advisors and they\u2019ll realize<\/strong>, the President\u2019s hands are tied.\u201d I walked out of that room horrified\u2026 Why do we even have elections?\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What G. W. Bush had revealed to Beck and what Liz Truss discovered when she got to the top of the tree<\/em>, has been the defining feature behind our \u201cdemocracies\u201d for a very long time. Former British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli<\/strong> said in 1844 that,<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.\u201d <\/em>Sir William Pitt<\/strong>, Prime Minister in 1770 said that, \u201cThere is something behind the throne greater than the King himself.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Power \u2018Behind the Throne\u2019 Are the Bank(st)ers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In untangling the causal factors behind the many crises we face today, the trail of breadcrumbs always leads to the international banking cartel which appears to have the determining influence shaping the system of governance under which our societies operate. This network likely constitutes the very\u00a0\u201cmonolithic and ruthless conspiracy\u201d that President John F. Kennedy<\/strong> had warned us about.<\/p>\n

As a famous member of that cartel proclaimed, \u201cPermit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws!\u201d At the money power\u2019s receiving end,\u00a0Napoleon Bonaparte<\/strong> understood that relationship all too well: \u201cWhen a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation<\/em>.\u201d This, it would seem, is how it is today.<\/p>\n

In his 1965 book \u201cTragedy and Hope,\u201d\u00a0Carroll Quigley<\/strong>\u00a0warned us that, \u201cThe powers of financial capitalism had [a] far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. \u2026 The growth of financial capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic control and use of this power for the direct benefit of financiers and direct injury of all other economic groups.\u201d That\u00a0world system of financial control<\/em>\u00a0is what\u2019s today being promoted as the \u201crules based global order.\u201d<\/p>\n

Banksters and Forever Wars<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In particular, the banking interests appear to be the key movers behind the perpetual warfare we are witnessing today.\u00a0The better we understand the way the systems work, the more the saying, \u201call wars are bankers\u2019 wars\u201d rings true. US Congressman\u00a0Ron Paul<\/strong>\u00a0said that it was no coincidence that the century of central banking coincided with a century of total war.<\/p>\n

Today we know, for example, that\u00a0Adolf Hitler<\/strong>\u00a0and his National Socialists were cultivated and lavishly funded by prominent Wall Street bankers (including George W. Bush\u2019s grampa Prescott Bush<\/strong>) and that the multinational corporations they controlled provided the technology and assistance for Germany\u2019s rearmament. The shadow operator steering the course of events was Bank of England\u2019s\u00a0Montagu Norman<\/strong>\u00a0who was the best friend and confidant of his German counterpart\u00a0Hjalmar Schacht<\/strong>. Few of those details have made it into our history curriculum, but the whole point of militarizing and Nazifying Germany was to invade and subjugate Russia. In 1935, Lord Lothian<\/strong> assured a delegation of visiting ministers from Germany that, \u201cthey would cut through Russia as through butter.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the most recent past, it was Ukraine which was militarized and Nazified to strike against Russia with the same powers behind the throne pulling the levers. As the US-installed Prime Minister of Ukraine, Arseniy Yatsenyuk<\/strong> spoke appreciatively in 2014, \u201c\u2026 international bankers are ready to help us. \u2026 We would not have survived without the international assistance.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

After Breaking Ukraine, They\u2019ll Use European Nations Next<\/strong><\/h2>\n

These discoveries should be profoundly disturbing. As the Ukrainian bludgeon broke against Russia, there is every reason for us to expect that they\u2019ll turn to transforming other European nations to serve the same purpose. That process is now under way as we can hear from the growing chorus of European leaders talking about militarization, conscription, and the prospect of war against Russia. We should not be complacent in the face of these mad musings. The vast majority of Ukrainian people were in favor of peace and normalization of relations with Russia. Yet the powers behind the throne determined otherwise and were able to sacrifice half a million young Ukrainian men and destroy the lives of millions.<\/p>\n

Unless we accept that in the near future our children also be sacrificed for bankers\u2019 pursuit of Russian collateral, we need to shine the spotlight at those behind the throne<\/em>who are pulling the levers and pushing us into war. It is our duty today to push against them with all our might, creativity and determination. Anything short of that risks turning more European nations into what Ukraine is today. And no, it has never been about democracy nor about freedom. It is strictly about banking and about the collateral.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s About Collateral, Not About \u201cDemocracy\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

All the money in circulation represents debt. Debt represents assets on the bankers\u2019 balance sheets. To conjure up more debt, they need to control the collateral: it directly boosts their wealth and power over us. To all the rest of us it\u2019s all the same: whether we pay money to Gazprom for our gas or to Royal Dutch Shell, we still have to pay.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a LOT of collateral to turn into financialized flows for our banks, if only we could crack that nut open somehow\u2026<\/p>\n

Even to the Royal Dutch Shell it wouldn\u2019t matter: they could simply buy Russian resources from Russia and resell it at home for a profit. Truly, the only<\/em> group in society to whom the control of collateral makes any difference are the bankers, making them the one main group with the incentive to foment forever wars for control of resources. They won\u2019t hesitate to go nuclear and sacrifice one nation after another to achieve this.<\/p>\n

Lord Acton<\/strong>\u00a0prophesied long ago that, \u201cthe issue which has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the people versus the bankers.\u201d\u00a0This fight is now upon us. The \u201cmonolithic and ruthless conspiracy\u201d is clearly waging an undeclared war on humanity, which\u00a0 may be the ultimate struggle between our emancipation or our enslavement.<\/p>\n
