 Dear Friends:
“Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them,” wrote syndicated Charlie Reese some time ago. “Have you ever wondered, if Democrats and Republicans are against deficits, why do we have deficits? Have you ever wondered, if all politicians are against inflation and high taxes, why we have inflation and high taxes?
“You and I don’t propose a federal budget. The president does.
“You and I don’t have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
“You and I don’t write the tax code. Congress does.
“You and I don’t set fiscal policy, Congress does.
“You and I don’t control monetary policy. The Federal Reserve Bank does.
“One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that face this country.
“I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank...”
Now, less than 100 years later, the United States — the once-famed “land of the free and home of the brave” — finds itself on the very brink of economic extinction. America is floundering under a national debt of $ 13,000,000,000,000. Each man, woman and child individually owes about $40,000. America’s current annual budget deficit is $1,500, 000,000,000. In addition, through its innumerable “federal programs,” the government is indebted (in the form of unfunded liabilities) to the tune of $75,000,000,000,000. Over the last 96 years, the above mentioned “public servants” have been directly responsible for this catastrophe. Traitors!
PIVOTAL POINT IN HISTORY
The period 1913-1914 turned out to be a pivotal point in world history, years that triggered tidal waves of change — virtual monetary and political tsunamis that would, in the years that lay ahead, revolutionize the world. Those events as they unfolded would decimate the social fabric of numerous nations by way of political, social, and monetary revolutions that had previously been planned by the international bankers and the heads of the most secret of the secret societies — the Luciferian Illuminati. Beginning with the outbreak of World War I mankind witnessed events that could only be explained by later knowledge of a master plan that at the time was only known by an elite few. That master plan called for the destruction of all sovereign nations by mean of social and economic revolutions working simultaneously on all fronts. Under the guise of making progress toward true world peace, the social orders of all nations had — like the proverbial frog in a pan of warm water — to be “cooked” before coming to an understanding of what was really happening to them. By that time it would, of course, be too late to remedy the situation. A prime ingredient in that master plan was the economic enslavement of the leading nations of the world. Their “leaders” (mostly just figureheads as time went by) could thus be manipulated and maneuvered into compliance with the program.
WOODROW WILSON
Woodrow Wilson, America’s president from 1914-1922, even when still governor of New Jersey (1911-1913), recognized that something was “up.”
“Some of the biggest men in the U.S. ... are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had not better speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it... We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world — no longer a government of free opinion, no longer a government of conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of small groups of prominent men... We are in a new world.” (The New Freedom, by Woodrow Wilson, pages 13-14, 1912). The book Philip Dru: Administrator, written anonymously by Colonel E. Mandell House, reveals how the notorious “colonel” (his title was honorary) controlled Woodrow Wilson. House referred to Wilson as his “creation” (which, of course, he was) and reveals the various methods used to control his stooge.
One of the methods used was blackmail. As Jewish historian Benjamin Freedman reveals in Hidden Tyranny, shortly after Wilson entered the White House he received a visit from Samuel Untermeyer, a prominent New York attorney who had contributed generously to the National Democratic Committee. Untermeyer informed the president that he had been retained to bring a breach of promise action against the president. Untermeyer informed Wilson that his client was willing to accept $40,000 (1914 dollars) in lieu of commencing the breach of promise action. Untermeyer’s client was the former wife of a Princeton University professor with whom Wilson had had an illicit affair. Untermeyer produced a packet of love letters from his pocket, written by Wilson to the wife of his former Princeton colleague.
Knowing that Wilson didn’t have the $40,000 to pay the extortion demands, Untermeyer agreed to pay the money out of his own pocket on one condition — that Wilson would appoint a Talmudic Jew to the U.S. Supreme Court when an opening occurred. That, according to Benjamin Freedman, was how Louis Brandeis was “chosen” by President Wilson in 1916 to become a Supreme Court justice. Brandeis’ nomination was approved by Congress over heavy opposition.
History also records that during his administration Wilson signed into law two of the ten planks of the Communist Manifesto — #2, a graduated income tax, and #5, the creation of a central bank (The “Federal” Reserve Bank). In this devious manner, the means were created to finance future wars in what would be later recognized as the movement to create a new world order. (See, Descent Into Slavery? for full details.)
During his campaign for reelection in 1916, Wilson’s boastful slogan was, “He kept us out of the war.” Weeks into his second term, however, Wilson led the United States into the war — claiming it would prove to be “the war to end all wars.” Then, toward the end of his second term, Wilson was one of the prime movers in the creation of the League of Nations — the first political effort to create a one world government. Fortunately for the United States, the Senate voted it down, 53-34.
During the decade that followed (“the Roaring Twenties”) America minded its own business and refused to become entangled politically with other nations, particularly those in Europe. It would take the stock market Crash of 1929, the resultant Great Depression, and the advent of Franklin Roosevelt’s phony “New Deal” — plus a tidal wave of false propaganda, and the socialist/liberal takeover of what was formerly America’s educational system — to brainwash the majority of American sheeple into accepting Socialism, masquerading under the false label of “democracy” or “liberalism.” In the almost 80 years that have elapsed since then the implementation of such freedom-destroying, nation-dissolving principles, have proven to be the seeds of America’s own destruction. As in every other nation that has embraced Socialist/Communist principles, civil government has grown into the “fearful master” George Washington warned against should the Republic stray from the biblical principles upon which it was built.
America’s involvement in World War I had massive repercussions worldwide. (1) It prevented the British and German governments from declaring a cease fire when both nations had fought to a standstill; (2) It opened up the way for the Communists to take over Czarist Russia (New York banker Jacob Schiff gave the Reds $20,000,000 — 1917 dollars!— toward their revolutionary activities!); (3) It led to the bankrupting of numerous European nations. This resulted in widespread social unrest — and the widespread promotion and acceptance of international banker-promoted Socialism; (4) It demolished America’s century-old Monroe Doctrine (which proclaimed the Western Hemisphere off-limits to meddling by European powers, and promoted a foreign policy of “friendship towards all, but alliances with none”).
Under the influence of what Congressman Charles Lindbergh called the “invisible government of the monetary power,” America was forced to abandon the principles laid out so succinctly in George Washington’s Farewell Speech in which our first president declared that “our clear policy (is) to steer clear of permanent alliances with any other part of the world.” The once great American Republic was now well on its way to oblivion.
A move in the 1920s toward a return to Constitutional government came to an abrupt end with the Crash of 1929 — and the arrival of Franklin Roosevelt’s socialist “New Deal” four years later. Since then, America has followed an ever-accelerating path into socialism and financial bondage.
INTERNATIONAL BANKERS IN BRITAIN
During the same period of time what used to be known as “Great Britain” was under attack by the same nefarious forces — the international bankers.
As Dr. Carroll Quigley reveals in Tragedy and Hope, at the beginning of World War I “military men were confident that a decision would be reached in six months because their military plans ... indicated an immediate decision. This belief was supported by the financial experts who, while greatly underestimating the cost of fighting, were confident that the financial resources of all states would be exhausted in six months. By ‘financial resources’ they meant the gold reserves of the various nations. They were clearly limited; all the Great Powers were on the gold standard under which bank notes and paper money could be converted into gold on demand. However, each country suspended the gold standard at the outbreak of the war. This removed the automatic limitation on the supply of paper money. Then each country proceeded to pay for the war by borrowing from the [Rothschild-controlled] banks. The banks created the money [credit] they lent by merely giving the government a deposit of any size against which the government could draw checks. The banks were no longer limited to the amount of credit they could create because they no longer had to pay out gold for checks on demand. Thus the creation of money in the form of credit were limited only by the demands of its borrowers. Naturally, the governments borrowed to pay for their needs, private businesses borrowed in order to be able to fill the government’s orders. The gold which could no longer be demanded rested in the vaults, except where some of it was exported to pay for supplies from neutral countries or from fellow belligerents....
“Naturally, when the supply of money (credit) was increased in this fashion faster than the supply of goods, prices rose because a larger supply of money (unbacked credit) was competing with a smaller supply of goods...” (pgs.256-257). This became known as “inflation.”
It is vitally important to note that, as Dr. Quigley points out on page 256, as the result of wars, “changes which would have taken place over a period of thirty or even fifty years in peacetime were brought about in five years during a war.” [Think: Iraq war and the draconian measures incorporated in the “Homeland Security” legislation and the “Patriot Act.” In recent decades other “wars” have been used in similar fashion — to speed up social change!]
One of the many adverse effects was that “public debt became steadily worse because governments were financing such a large part of their activities by bank credit. These two problems, inflation and public debt, continued to grow, even after the fighting stopped, because of the continued disruption of economic life and the need to pay for past activities...” (p.257).
This benefitted debtors (by making a fixed-money debt less of a burden) but injured creditors (by reducing the value of their savings and credits). “The middle class of European society, with their bank savings, checking deposits, mortgages, insurance, and bond holdings, were the creditor class, they were injured or even ruined by the war time inflation.” In some countries “the middle classes were largely destroyed, and their members driven to desperation or at least to an almost psychopathic hatred of the form of government or the social class that they believed to be responsible for their plight...” (p.258).
Across Europe these conditions of economic and social turmoil proved to be fertile ground in which the seeds of Socialism could be sown and reaped in abundance. In the decades that followed, virtually all European countries embraced the nation-destroying principles of Socialism and went deeper and deeper into debt and under the control of the international bankers. As Scripture declared so many years ago, “The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender” (Proverbs22:7). Or as Solomon wrote, “The thing that has been, is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done. There is no new thing under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Since the end of World War II twenty-seven European nations have surrendered their national sovereignty and now form the totally corrupt and compromised European Union. The corruption is so blatant that international auditors have, for the last 15 years, refused to certify their financial statements.
The international bankers, of course, plan to merge this European abomination with other groupings of nations in the formation of their Luciferian new world order.
MODERN AMERICA
Following the death of Franklin Roosevelt in April 1945, there was a lull in the move to “socialize” the United States. In addition, a brief effort was paid to pay off the national debt that, in 1945, amounted to $258 billion. However, massive changes followed the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy (who wanted to return the United States to non-interest-bearing United States bank notes as opposed to interest-bearing, debt-creating “Federal” Reserve notes). His successor, Lyndon Johnson, torpedoed the idea and then reversed Kennedy’s additional plans to withdraw America “advisors” from S/E Asia. Within months, Johnson launched his socialist Great Society (Welfare State) programs and, under the damnably false claim that an American warship had been attacked in the Gulf of Tonkin, escalated the Vietnam War. As Senator Barry Goldwater revealed in the Congressional Record (March 6,14,18, and 26, 1985), in essence, “civilian officials in the executive branch hobbled, chained, and bound American forces with restrictions saying what the military could and could not do... The ... declassification of these documents, formerly classified top secret, proves the military got a bum rap in Vietnam” (March 6). As a result, hundreds of key enemy targets were placed “off limits.” This officially-sanctioned treachery (See, Constitution, Article 3, Section) led to the prolongation of the war, tens of thousands more American dead and wounded, massive civil unrest at home, and spiraling debt. It also served to make the gullible American public much more susceptible to propaganda put out by the one-worlders. (See Fourth Reich of the Rich, pgs.105-109 for more details). Here again, war was used as a tool to implement social change “that would have taken 30 to 50 years in peacetime.”
The Johnson years led to an explosion in socialist programs designed to destroy personal initiative and personal responsibility and make multiple millions dependent on taxpayer-funded “government programs.” This social insanity was, of course, also one of the curses that led to the downfall of the once great Roman Empire. “The evils that resulted from this misdirected state charity can hardly be overstated. Idleness and all its accompanying vices were fostered to such a degree that we shall probably not be wrong in enumerating the practice as one of the chief causes of the demoralization of society” (Rome: Its Rise and Fall, Philip Myers, p.523). Unremittingly, for the last 60 years America has followed the path taken by Rome. Now, the much vaunted Great Society dream is turning in a national nightmare.
One unpardonable crime that has led to this social catastrophe was the abandoning of America’s Constitutionally-sanctioned, honest, gold and silver backed money system (Article 1, Section 10) in order to allegedly “pay“ for this diabolical idiocy. This international banker-backed form of national suicide was described as a “shabby secret” by none other than Alan Greenspan in an article in Ayn Rand’s magazine, The Objectivist, in 1966. “In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value... The fiscal policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists’ tirade against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists’ antagonism against the gold standard” [Constitutional money].
Greenspan’s observations were “right on” in 1966 — and the financially devastating events of the last few years have demonstrated that fact in no uncertain terms. The only remaining question is, will America be able to escape from the vise-like grip of the international plunderers (the banksters) or, as Dr. Carroll Quigley predicted in his aforementioned book (p.324), will it collapse into a “feudal” plantation controlled by the nefarious Luciferian globalists?
WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD?
As documented in Storming the Gates of Hell the battle in which we are engaged is a spiritual one. “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness [or wicked spirits] in high places... (Ephesians 6:12). It’s a battle between light and darkness. As shown in Storming the Gates of Hell [$14.00] there is a big “showdown” coming in the near future. That confrontation is going to be between Satan (aka Lucifer, “the god of this world, who has blinded the eyes of them that believe not” (II Corinthians 4:4) and the Lord Jesus Christ (“the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). The outcome, we believe, is clearly predicted in the last book of the Bible. Here we see the demented world’s leaders (U.N.?) combining to do battle with the returning Jesus Christ. “They make war with the Lamb [Christ, John 1:29,36], and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is the Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful” (Revelation 17:11-14).
I would like to have a front seat to see that. How about you?
Best Wishes, Des Griffin
