"In European capitals there are Hebrew bankers who dictate certain international relations because they hold the purse-strings of governments; and every European country owes much to the men of great genius that the race has contributed to the arts and to statecraft."
-- "The Jews in the United States", The World's Work , Volume 11, Number 3, (January, 1906), pp. 7030-7031.
The First World War brought to Eduard Rothschild more than 100 billion dollars.
(Count Cherep-Spiridovich)
Mrs. Nesta Webster cannot escape the conclusion that international financiers put up the money (for revolutions and wars.)
More it is the Jewish financiers who supply the funds; it is Jews who have been the agents-provocateurs of revolutions of revolutions for the last two thousand years.
It is the Jews who are the secret inner council of the five principal organized horrendous movements at work with which organized government has to contend.
(The New York Times, March 8, 1925)
"The man Rothschild chooses-that man will become President of the United States," Texe Marrs was told by an insider. So, who was Rothschild's Choice in 2008? The answer is obvious: Barack Hussein Obama!
The fourth Baron de Rothschild, Lord Jacob Rothschild of Great Britain, has been called the 21st Century's "King of Israel."
He and other Rothschilds preside over the planet's greatest banking cartel, and Wall Street firms Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citibank, and others bow to Rothschild dictates. Politicians in world capitals, Washington, D.C., London, Paris, and Tokyo grovel before their awesome power.
Rothschild's Choice documents the astonishing rise of a young, half blood "Prince" of Jerusalem, a Communist adept named Barack Obama who won Rothschilds' favor-and was rewarded for his slavish devotion to their sinister Agenda.
The Disconto-Gesellschaft, the Rheinish-Westphalian Syndicate, the international banking firm of Warburgs, the various subsidiary banking institutions in Scandinavia, such as the Nya Banken, all of them were working in harmonious accord with the red generals of the world-revolution.
This was the 'one big union' the aim of which was the complete destruction, if possible the annihilation , of "holy Russia" the corner-stone of European Christianity."
(The World At The Cross Roads, Boris Brasol, pp. 71-73).
"For the last one hundred and fifty years, the history of the House of Rothschild has been to an amazing degree the backstage history of Western Europe... Because of their success in making loans not to individuals but to nations, they reaped huge profits... Someone once said that the wealth of Rothschild consists of the bankruptcy of nations."
(Frederic Morton, The Rothschilds)
"The Jew continues to monopolize money, and he loosens or strangles the throat of the state with the loosening or strengthening of his purse strings... He has empowered himself with the engines of the press, which he uses to batter at the foundations of society. He is at the bottom of... every enterprise that will demolish first of all thrones, afterwards the altar, afterwards civil law."
(Hungarian composer Franz Liszt (1811-1886) in Die Israeliten.)
"The Jews... are at the root of regicide, they own the periodical press, they have in their hands the financial markets, the people as a whole fall into financial slavery to them..."
(The Siege, p. 38)
The Disconto-Gesellschaft, the Rheinish-Westphalian Syndicate, the international banking firm of Warburgs, the various subsidiary banking institutions in Scandinavia, such as the Nya Banken, all of them were working in harmonious accord with the red generals of the world-revolution.
This was the 'one big union' the aim of which was the complete destruction, if possible the annihilation , of "holy Russia" the corner-stone of European Christianity."
(The World At The Cross Roads, Boris Brasol, pp. 71-73).
"Under the pressure of international finance the atmosphere in Europe became very congested. Instead of using the huge money resources for cultural purposes, the international banking houses urged unlimited armaments of European States, and sometime deliberately precipitated military adventures.
In this connection it is of interest to recall a statement of Israel Zangwill, the well-known Zionist leader, to the effect that it was Mr. Jacob Schiff who financed 'the Japanese War against Russia,'
(See Israel Zangwill's "The Problems of the Jewish Race," p. 14, The Judaic Publishing Company, New York),
as well as another statement, that of Mr. George Kennan, revealing the fact that it was the same banker who financed the revolution among Russian war prisoners in Japan (Compare the report on a Socialist meeting held in Carnegie Hall on March 23, 1917, to celebrate the Russian Revolution, as recorded in the New York Times, March 24, 1917).
Immense munition plants, such as Krupp and Szkoda, Poutiloff, and Manfred Weiss, Deutsch & Son, and Schneider, were all controlled directly or indirectly by high finance, forming part of the interlocking system.
Nor should it be forgotten that the same group of cosmopolitan bankers invariably have given their support to varioius enterprises which helped the Central Powers to further their imperialistic plans.
Thus, soon after the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, when the Dual Monarchy began her war preparations against Italy, it was this bankers' group which loaned 300 million kronen for the expansion of the Austrian navy, with the result that the new battleships were christened by one part of the European press as "Rothschild dreadnaughts."
(The World at the Cross Roads, Boris Brasol, pp. 11- 12).
"Now, just think, to accuse me of such a crime. Think of it! I, who have for twenty-five years single-handed struggled against the invasion of the Russian Government into American money markets, and to this day stave them off. Think of it! Who, as I, have been foremost in the past for agitation and insisted to the President of the United States; as some of you must know, that our treaty with Russia must be abrogated."

Banking Cartel is the Cause of Humanity's Woes

"The Secrets of the Federal Reserve" by Eustace Mullins
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies." --- Thomas Jefferson
In November 1949, Eustace Mullins, 25, was a researcher in Washington DC when friends invited him to visit the famous American poet Ezra Pound, who was confined at St. Elizabeth's Mental Hospital and listed as a "political prisoner."
A leading figure in Modern English literature, Pound was the editor and critic who introduced the world to James Joyce, W.B. Yeats and T.S. Eliot. During the Second World War, he was charged with treason for broadcasts on Rome Radio that questioned the motives behind America's involvement.
Pound commissioned Mullins to examine the influence of the banking establishment on U.S. policy. Mullins spent every morning for two years in the Library of Congress and met with Pound every afternoon. The resulting manuscript, "The Secrets of the Federal Reserve" proved too hot for any American publisher to handle. Nineteen rejected it. One said, "you'll never get this published in New York." When it finally appeared in Germany in 1955, the U.S. Military Government confiscated all 10,000 copies and burned them.
Thanks to the American Patriot Friends Network, this book is freely available on line. (I recommend you save it on your desktop, as I did.) Why is it so (excuse the pun) inflammatory?
Essentially it paints a picture of the world, and the role of the United States, which is radically different from the one we are given in school or in the media.
"Notwithstanding the war of independence against England," writes Mullins, "we remained an economic and financial colony of Great Britain." Between 1865 and 1913, he says London bankers led by the Rothschilds used agents such as J.P. Morgan and J.D. Rockefeller to gain control of American industry and organize it into cartels.
Where did these bankers get the money? For over 200 years, European bankers have been able to draw on the credit of their host countries to print it!
In the Seventeenth Century, the moneylenders and the aristocracy made a pact. If the king would make paper currency a liability of the state, the moneylenders would print as much as he liked! Thus the Banks of England, France and the Reichsbank came into being but they were all private corporations and remain so today.
According to this nefarious pact, the moneylenders got to charge interest on assets they created out of thin air. The aristocracy all took shares in the central banks plus they got to finance a burgeoning government and to wage costly wars.
This piece of chicanery is at the heart what plagues humanity.
The bankers have a vested interest in the state (i.e. the people) incurring as much debt as possible. They are behind the Marxist, socialist and liberal movements which call for big government and social spending. They are behind the catastrophic wars of the last century. The Warburgs financed the Bolshevik Revolution. The Bank of England financed the rise of Hitler. Prescott Bush (W's grandfather) was head of Brown Brothers Harriman, which financed the construction of the Nazi war machine.
Naturally if you can create money out of thin air, your first instinct is to buy tangible assets with it. There is a powerful impulse to use debt to control nations and take over their real assets. This is the essence of the so-called Third World Debt crisis. Dedicated to owning all wealth and enslaving humanity, an irresistible vampire has been unleashed uponthe world
Much of Mullins book is devoted to the subterfuge by which the United States was drawn into its lethal embrace. In 1913, the Owen-Glass Bill gave mostly foreign-controlled banks (posing as "the Federal Reserve") the right to create currency based on the credit of the United States government and to charge it interest for doing it!
To accomplish this, the bankers had to rig the election of 1913 in order to get Woodrow Wilson elected. Then their stooges in Congress passed the legislation on December 22 after their opponents had gone home for Christmas.
"This act establishes the most gigantic trust [cartel] on earth," Congressman Charles Lindbergh said at the time. "When the President signs this bill; the invisible government by the Monetary Power will be legalized. The people may not know it immediately but the day of reckoning is only a few years removed."
Mullins explains that the legislation passed just in time for the American people to finance World War One. After maintaining standing armies for 50 years, European powers no longer could afford the luxury of another war. But the U.S. was relatively debt free and made the whole thing possible.
What would WWI have been without Germany? Apparently Germany was not self-sufficient in food and would have had to sit out this war. In the nick of time, the bankers organized something called "The Belgium Relief Committee" which channeled billions of dollars worth of U.S. meat and potatoes not to Belgium but to Germany. When Edith Cavell, an American working in a Belgium hospital pointed this out, British intelligence had the Germans arrest and execute her.
Mullins makes a convincing case that every U.S. President since Wilson has been a lackey of the bankers. J.F. Kennedy was assassinated because he started to print his own U.S. government-backed currency. This is also the transgression that led to the murders of Presidents Abraham Lincoln and James Garfield.
Last year alone, the American people paid $360 billion in interest to the bankers. To maintain this massive fraud, the bankers enforce an iron grip on the political and cultural organs of the nation. According to Mullins, "The New York Times" is owned by the Kuhn Loeb while "The Washington Post" is owned by Lazard Freres. In Europe the Rothschilds own Reuters as well as the French and German news services.
I presume US publishers, TV networks and movie producers are similarly beholden. Rockefellers, Carnegies and the Fords endow the nations' libraries and universities. Journalists and professors dutifully parrot fantasies about democracy and freedom. Mind control laboratories run by the CIA and the British army (TheTavistock Institute) dream up ways to manipulate and undermine the population. The psychological sterilization of the human female ("feminism") is an example.
The "War on Terror" is part of the banking cabal's plan to consolidate its grip on humanity in a friendly (or not so friendly) fascist "New World Order." They want to secure their political, economic and social grip on the obstreperous Muslim world, as well as build up a security apparatus in case the docile populations of the West become restive.
Well, at least the cosmic battle between Good and Evil is out in the open at last!
"The full history of the interlocking participation of the Imperial German Government and international finance in the destruction of the Russian Empire is not yet written...
It is not a mere coincidence that at the notorious meeting held at Stockholm in 1916, between the former Russian Minister of the Interior, Protopopoff, and the German Agents, the German Foreign Office was represented by Mr. Warburg, whose two brothers were members of the international banking firm, Kuhn, Loeb and Company, of which the late Mr. Jacob Schiff was a senior member."
(The World at the Cross Roads, by Boris Brasol, pp. 70-71; Rulers of Russia, Rev. Denis Fahey, p. 7)
"I knew Otto Kahn [According to the Figaro, Mr. Kahn on first going to America was a clerk in the firm of Speyer and Company, and married a grand-daughter of Mr. Wolf, one of the founders of Kuhn, Loeb & Company], the multi-millionaire, for many years. I knew him when he was a patriotic German. I knew him when he was a patriotic American. Naturally, when he wanted to enter the House of Commons, he joined the 'patriotic party.'"
(All These Things, A.N. Field, pp. 56-57; The Rulers of Russia, Denis Fahey, p. 34)
"The powers of financial capitalism had another 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. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements, arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences.
The apex of the system was the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the worlds' central banks which were themselves private corporations.
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 the indirect injury of all other economic groups."
-- Tragedy and Hope: A History of The World in Our Time (Macmillan Company, 1966,) Professor Carroll Quigley of Georgetown University, highly esteemed by his former student, William Jefferson Blythe Clinton. [Bill Clinton]" The Council on Foreign Relations is "the establishment."
Not only does it have influence and power in key decision-making positions at the highest levels of government to apply pressure from above, but it also announces and uses individuals and groups to bring pressure from below, to justify the high level decisions for converting the U.S. from a sovereign Constitutional Republic into a servile member state of a one-world dictatorship."
-- Former Congressman John Rarick 1971
Well did Dr. Gerard Encausse in Mysteria in the April 1914 issue declare:
Side by side with the international politics of each State, there exist certain obscure organizations of international politics... The men that take part in these councils are not professional politicians or brilliantly-dressed ambassadors, but certain, unknown men, high financiers, who are superior to the vain ephemeral politicians who imagine that they govern the world.
(Rothschild Dynasty, John Coleman)
There is evidence that Disraeli did not tell the truth about Russia. It was the Rothschilds, who fomented the Bolshevik Revolution and financed it through their New York banking fronts of Jacob Schiff and J.P. Morgan, and in London by Lord Alfred Milner. It is a fact that Schiff gave Trotsky $20 million for the task of overthrowing Christian Russia.
The history of the Rothschilds shows that they did not hesitate to spend part of their huge fortune to achieve political goals. In this they achieved astonishing successes.
That the Rothschilds held and exercised amazing power over nations and governments is born out by the following:
The Kaiser had to consult Rothschild to find out whether he could declare war. Another Rothschild carried the whole burden of the conflict which overthrew Napoleon. (The Patriot, Dr. Stuart Holden, June 11, 1925)
The revolt in Georgia (Caucasus) was staged by the Rothschilds. (Humanite, September 1924. This was a Jewish magazine)
The Rothschilds can start or prevent wars. Their word could make or break Empires.

Ron Paul blames Abraham Lincoln for the Civil War. In fact, the Jewish bankers created the Civil War. In addition, the Jewish bankers continued to destroy America with the debts they created through the war. Beyond that, the Jewish bankers attacked Lincoln's Greenbacks, which had saved the nation and which gave the American People the power to create their own debt-free money. Given that Ron Paul represents the bankers' interests, it is little wonder that he seeks to discredit Lincoln.
Maj.-Gen. Count Cherep Spiridovich explained how the Jewish bankers created the Civil War, why they opposed the Greenback, and why the Jewish actor John Wilkes Booth assassinated Lincoln:
"To pay the soldiers the Government issued its Treasury notes, authorized by act of Congress, July 17, 1861, for $50.000.000, bearing no interest. These notes circulated at par with gold. The Rothachilds' agents inspired the American banks to offer to Lincoln a loan of $150 million. But before they had taken much of the loan, the banks broke down and suspended specie payments in Dec. 1861. They wished to blackmail Lincoln and demanded the 'shaving' of government paper to the extent of 33%, an extortion which was refused. A bill drafted for the Government issue of $150 million, which should be full legal tender for every debt in the United States, passed the House of Representatives Feb. 25, 1862, and was hailed with delight by the entire country. But the Wall Street bankers were furious.
Sen. Pettigrew reprints the so called 'Hazzard Circular' sent in 1862 by the Bank of England (ruled by the Rothschilds):
'Slavery is likely to be abolished by the war power and chattel slavery destroyed. This I (Rothschild) and my European friends (the 300 men) are glad of, for slavery is but the owning of labor and carries with it the care of the laborer, while the European (read 'Rothschildian') plan led on by England (i. e. the Rothschilds) is for capital to control labor by controlling wages.
'THIS CAN BE DONE BY CONTROLLING THE MONEY. THE GREAT DEBT THAT CAPITALISTS WILL SEE TO IS MADE OUT OF THE WAR must be used as a means to control the volume of money.
'To accomplish this the BONDS must be used as a banking basis. We are now waiting for the Secretary of the Treasury to make his recommendation to Congress. It will not do to ALLOW the GREENBACK, as it is called, to circulate as money any length of time, as we cannot control that.'
Thus the order of the Rothschilds was clear: 'Capitalists WILL SEE TO IT that a DEBT is MADE out of the war.'
The result was that by 'hook and crook' the Rothschilds enslaved this country. And Schiffs, Baruchs & Co. are the rulers.
The Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, Mr. Thaddeus Stevens explains how the United States was captured by the Rothschilds:
'The agents of the banks fell upon the bill in haste and disfigured it.'
In the Senate this amendment was tacked upon the bill:
'Good for all debts and dues of the U. S. EXCEPT DUTIES ON IMPORTS AND INTEREST on the PUBLIC DEBT,' ($150 million above mentioned, plus $70 million, a pre-war debt).
'Thus equipped this bill went forth to rob every American and turn the ownership of this nation into the hands of capitalists.' (Mrs. Hobart).
When the bill came back to the House, Mr. Stevens said:'We are about to consummate a cunningly devised scheme which will bring GREAT LOSS to all classes of people, except one' (the Rothschilds' branch of the Wall Street). The bill was passed.
The Rothschilds were in possession of 80% of the gold the country. They had a 'corner' on gold. By securing discrimination against the 'greenback' by means of the 'Exception clauses' they made a market for their gold.
'Importers were obliged to go to Wall Street to buy gold to pay duties on their goods, and the Wall Street gamblers held the power to fix the price.
'Gold went to a premium. Had the greenbacks been permitted to retain their full legal tender quality, there would have been no need for gold to pay import duties. The price of gold rapidly rose and before the war closed had reached the price of $2.85, measured in greenbacks.
'The gold bought in Wall Street to pay import duties became the revenues of the government and was by it paid back to Wall Street as interest on the public debt. As fast as the bankers sold the gold it was returned for interest on the public debt to be sold again. Thus during the entire war these gold gamblers speculated in gold, making fortunes from the blood and tears of the American people,' (Mrs M. E. Hobart in her 'The Secret of Rothschilds,' p. 54.)
Two more issues of $150 million each, with the 'Except clause' were authorized in July, 1862 and in March, 1863, m ing in all $450,000,000. They bore no interest. When these issues were exhausted and necessity arose for additional money the bankers demanded that Treasury Notes should no longer be made in the form of DOLLARS, but in the form of BONDS: bond draws interest, the dollar does not.
A gigantic war costing seven billions was carried through without gold. Why? Because everything was supplied at home and American money, the 'greenbacks' were gladly accepted.
'How then was it that this government, several years after the was over, found itself owing in London and Wall Street several hundred million dollars to men who never fought a battle, who never made a uniform, never furnished a pound of bread, men, who never did an honest day's ~ in all their lives...
'The fact is, that billions owned by the sweat, tears and blood of American laborers have been poured into the coffers of these men for absolutely nothing.
'This 'sacred war debt' was only a gigantic of fraud, concocted by European capitalists and enacted into American law by the aid of American congressmen, who were their paid hirelings or their ignorant dupes.
'That this crime has remained uncovered is due to the power of prejudice which seldom permits the victim to see clearly or reason correctly: 'the Money power prolongs its reign by working on the prejudices.' (Lincoln).
'Every means has been employed to deceive the masses. Ridicule and derision have been applied to all opposition, while flattery and appreciation were showered upon the officials,' (Mary E. Hobart, p. 49).
[***]
Bismarck knew the truth and revealed it in 1876 to a German, Conrad Siem, who published it ('La Vieille France,' N-216, March, 1921). Bismarck said:
'The division of the United States into two federations of equal force was decided long before the Civil War by the High Financial Power of Europe. These bankers were afraid that the United States, if they remained in one block and as one nation, would attain economical and financial independence, which would upset their financial domination over the World.
'The voice of the Rothschilds predominated. They foresaw tremendous booty if they could substitute two feeble democracies, indebted to the Jewish financiers, to the vigorous Republic, confident and self-providing.
'Therefore, they started their emissaries in order to exploit the question of slavery and thus to dig an abyss between the two parts of the Republic. Lincoln never suspected these underground machinations. He was anti-Slaverist, and he was elected as such, But his character prevented him from being the man of one party. When he had affairs in his hands, he perceived that these sinister financiers of Europe, the Rothschilds, wished to make him the executor of their designs.
'They made the rupture between the North and the South imminent! The masters of Finance in Europe made this rupture definitive in order to exploit it to the utmost.
'Lincoln's personality surprised them. His candidature did not trouble them: they thought to easily dupe the candidate woodcutter. But Lincoln read their plots and soon understood, that the South was not the worst foe, but the Jew financiers.
'He did not confide his apprehensions; he watched the gestures of the Hidden Hand; he did not wish to expose publicly the questions which would disconcert the ignorant masses. He decided to eliminate the International bankers, by establishing a system of Loans, allowing the States to borrow directly from the people without intermediary.
'He did not study financial questions, but his robust good sense revealed to him, that the source of any wealth resides in the work and economy of the nation. He opposed emissions through the International financiers. He obtained from Congress the right to borrow from the people by selling to it the 'bonds' of States. The local banks were only too glad to help such a system. And the Government and the nation escaped the plots of the foreign financiers. They understood at once, that the United Stats would escape their grip.
The death of Lincoln was resolved upon. Nothing is easier than to find a fanatic to strike.'
'The death of Lincoln, was a disaster for Christendom. There was no man in the United States great enough to wear his boots. And Israel went anew to grab the riches of the World. I fear that Jewish Banks with their craftiness and tortuous tricks will entirely control the exuberant riches of America, and use it to systematically corrupt modern civilization. The Jew will not hesitate to plunge the whole of Christendom into wars and chaos, in order that 'the earth should become the inheritance of Israel.''
Thus Bismarck, who knew the game of the Jews, spoke in 1876, [***] According to Bismarck the awful Civil War in America was fomented by a Jewish Conspiracy, and Abraham Lincoln, the hero, and national Saint of the United States, was killed by the same Hidden Hand, which killed six Romanov Czars, ten Kings and scores of Ministers only to easier bleed their nations.
[***] Lincoln was reinaugurated on March 4, 1865 and was shot on April 4th, 1865 by an actor Wilkes Booth, who cried: 'The South is revenged.' He was a Jew, but this has never been mentioned!"

Cherep-Spiridovich made another interesting comment, which, in the case of the "Ron Paul Revolution" provides food for thought,
"And when the U. S. is drowned in an ocean of blood, may be, some American Robespierre will make the same discovery, that all revolutions are Jewish."

"We come now to the libel involving the gold, the Jewish gold. This is obviously why the present case is being tried close to the Aurelian Steps. It is because of this particular charge that you have sought out this location, Laelius (the prosecutor), and that mob (referring to the noisy crowd of Jews whom Laelius had assembled to create a commotion at the trial).
You know how large a group they (the Jews) are, and how influential they are in politics. I will lower my voice and speak just loudly enough for the jury to hear me; for there are plenty of individuals to stir up those Jews against me and against every good Roman, and I don't intend to make it any easier for them to do this.
Since gold was regularly exported each year in the name of the Jews from Italy and all our provinces to Jerusalem, Flaccus issued an edict forbidding its exportation from Asia. Who is there, gentlemen of the jury, who cannot sincerely commend this action?
The exportation of gold had been forbidden by the Seanate on many previous occasions, and most strictly of all during my consulship. Further, that Flaccus was opposed to this barbarous Jewish superstition was proof of his strong character that he defended the Republci by frequently denying the aggressiveness of the Jewish mobs at political gatherings was an evidence of his high sense of responsibility."
(Speech of Cicero, which is one of the few revelations of Jewish subversion which survived the burning of libraries. The great consul of Rome, Cicero, had to lower his voice to avoid stirring up the Jews. A Roman aristocrat, Flaccus, was removed from office and dragged back to Rome to face a false charge. Why? Because he had tried to enforce the Roman law banning the Jewish traffic in gold. The outcome of this trial was that Flaccus ban on the shipping of gold was removed. Thus the Jews won their objective, and Flaccus was lucky to escape with his life after he had opposed them. Harry J. Leon of the University of Texas, p. 3, Jews of Ancient Rome).
