Money Fraud Through The Ages

(Conspiracy Nation, 03/23/08) – Julius Caesar saw the abuses of money matters. The issuing or coining of money was limited to a few wealthy families. “Caesar took this privilege from them and restored it to the government to whom it belonged.” The privileged money monopoly masters were enraged. They entered into a conspiracy, and Julius Caesar was murdered, March 15, 44 B.C. (The “Ides of March.”) Said Mark Antony of the assassins: “They are gentlemen.” (“Lincoln: Money Martyred,” by Dr. R. E. Search (pseudonym). First published 1935. Reprinted, Omni Publications, 1989)

In 2008, near the time of another Ides of March, privileged monopoly money masters converged for a secret meeting. J.P. Morgan banking would gobble up Bear Stearns. Money would be provided by the “Federal” Reserve in exchange for mortgage-backed securities of dubious value. (Background: “New York Evicted From Union,” http://www.shout.net/~bigred/NYUnion.html)

Various money manipulations have occurred through the ages, since the time of Julius Caesar. In 1609, the Bank of Amsterdam was founded. Their deal was, coin, once deposited, could never be withdrawn. Notes circulated on the promise there was corresponding coin in the vaults. The notes multiplied. “Trust us,” said the Bank of Amsterdam. But by 1790, the game was up. Immense sums had been loaned to the East India Trading Company. Depositors claims could not be redeemed. It was the “first failure of a specie basis promissory note banking institution.” (R.E. Search, op. cit.)

In 1694, the “Bank of England” was established. As with the “Federal” Reserve, the “Bank of England” (BOE) was given a name which implied it was owned by the government. The BOE was snuck into being via a “Tonnage Act,” not by any plain-spoken “Banking Law,” which honest name might have alerted people to what was up.

In 1791, a “First Bank of the United States” was born. Once more, “the identical tactics that were used with the establishing and naming of the Bank of England were again used, namely – the naming of the new bank the 'Bank of the United States;' making it appear to be, without saying so, a bank owned by the government...” Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson denounced the situation: “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies,” he warned. (R.E. Search, op. cit.)

Around 1811, the “renewal bill” for the First B.U.S. was killed. The creature was liquidated. But because the First Bank of the United States had been primarily owned by British money masters, it seems likely those same titans “had something to do with provoking the cause of the War of 1812 between England and the United States...” (R.E. Search, op. cit.)

In 1816, certain banksters prevailed upon the U.S. Congress to grant a charter for the Second Bank of the United States. The Second B.U.S. charter was to run for twenty years. With the charter set to expire in 1836, banksters began fomenting for renewal. Andrew Jackson, though, opposed their plans. He began removing government money from Second B.U.S. and depositing it in State banks. What Jackson called “that thing” (Second B.U.S.) was a menace to the nation, was the opinion of the remarkable man. The banksters financed a vicious campaign to prevent Jackson's re-election as president. Said Jackson in response, “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 corporations.” Jackson was re-elected and the Second B.U.S. died.

But like rodents in the darkness, the money monopoly gangsters lurked and waited. At the start of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln contacted infamous New York, originator of persistent troubles. (The original York is in England.) Lincoln asked for loans to finance the Union side. The money kings demanded an astounding 24 to 36 percent rate of interest. “Outrageous, scandalous, unpatriotic!” responded Lincoln. To this, the New York money conglomerate replied, “Very well. If the Union doesn't want the money at that rate, then we will loan it to the Southern Confederacy.” (R.E. Search, op. cit.)

But Old Abe outwitted the banksters. He contacted a friend, Col. Dick Taylor, of Chicago. He confided the Union financial worries to Taylor. “What can be done?” asked Lincoln. “Why, Lincoln,” Taylor replied, “that is easy; just get Congress to pass a bill authorizing the printing of full legal tender Treasury notes...” In this way, the New York-based money monopoly was temporarily stymied. “Greenbacks” began to be used as money. (R.E. Search, op. cit.)

The rodents scurried back into the darkness and conspired. Through politicians owned by them, an “Exception Clause” Act was passed on Feb. 25, 1862. Greenbacks would be good for “all debts public and private” except for imports and for interest on government debts. This opened the door to undermining of the Greenback. The money kings had an excuse now to “discount” Greenbacks, not accepting them at full value. (R.E. Search, op. cit.)

In 1866, with Lincoln now dead, the Money Barons forced a contraction and eventual abandonment of Greenbacks. A “Contraction Act” was passed. Government-issued money was to be withdrawn from circulation, then burned. In 1873, the storm climaxed. The people became panic stricken. 500,000 workers were thrown out of employment. That year also saw “The Crime of '73.” Silver was demonetized. Stated Senator Vorhees of Indiana: “...the day of doom to the American dollar, the dollar of our fathers, how silent was the work of the enemy.” The enactment of silver demonetization “was as completely unknown to the people and indeed to four-fifths of Congress itself as the presence of a burglar in a house at midnight to its sleeping inmates.” (Congressional Record, Jan. 15, 1876, p. 332. Qtd. in R.E. Search, op. cit.)

But the “dreaded” populist resistance prevailed upon the powers-that-be: In 1878, the “Sherman Law” allowed for a limited coinage of silver. The money monopolists were not happy. Following the “Panic of 1907” (Background: “Contagion Of 1907,” http://www.shout.net/~bigred/Contagion1907.html), the “Aldrich-Vreeland Emergency Bill” became law. Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr., father of “Lucky Lindy,” the famous aviator, described Aldrich-Vreeland as “the first precedent for the people's guarantee of the rich man's watered securities... We had already guaranteed the rich man's money, now, by this Act, the way was opened, and it was intended that we should guarantee their watered stocks and bonds.” (qtd. in R.E. Search, op. cit.)

Dr. R.E. Search emphasizes, as to the “Federal” Reserve, that, “in spite of the name, 'Federal', [it] is a PRIVATELY owned banking system. NOT ONE dollar of stock in the system is owned by our government as the name would imply.” (Emphasis in original).

Congressman Lindbergh went on to write a book called “The Economic Pinch,” first published in 1923. The “profiteers” had “staged the 1907 panic” as a crisis-reaction scheme to promote their planned “Federal” Reserve, born in 1913. But the general public “had been suspicious that if one big central bank should be created Wall Street would control it; to fool us, the act provided twelve big banks instead of one, all owned by the member banks, but all under the control of a Federal Reserve Board with headquarters in Washington, D.C.” (Lindbergh, “The Economic Pinch.” Republished as “Lindbergh on the Federal Reserve,” Noontide Press, 1989.)

Today is Easter, 2008. Let us recall how Jesus drove the money-changers from the Temple. Within days of challenging the economic system, Jesus had been crucified. St. Peter later had a vision of a lake, “full of pitch and blood and mire bubbling up, there stood men and women up to their knees; and these were usurers and those who had taken interest.” (Antinicene Fathers, Vol. 9, p. 146, qtd. in R.E. Search, op. cit.)

The Aldrich-Vreeland Bill had set a precedent: a guarantee, at public expense, of watered securities, inflated stocks, and dubious bonds. As of this writing, the “Fed” has “crossed the Rubicon” writes Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in today's London Telegraph newspaper. An “emergency” vote allows the “Federal” Reserve “to shoulder $30bn of direct credit risk from the Bear Stearns carcass.” (“Fed's rescue halted a derivatives Chernobyl”)
