The Kings and Queens of Europe ruled supreme for hundreds of years, up until the 1500, but their right to rule over Parliament came to an end in the 1600. The wealthiest merchants in European countries could buy a seat in Parliament, for that was a standard practice at that time. It gave them a lot of influence, however, the King or Queen ruled with full authority.
It’s much easier to become extremely wealthy if you choose to ignore morality and your conscience. Many who chose to do that were slave-traders, money-lenders and others who had absolutely no compassion for other people. They were merchants in the business of misery.
During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England, who was the daughter of Henry VIII, many wealthy merchants had bought seats in her Parliament, and they wanted to expand east towards India and beyond. She agreed to give a monopoly to these merchants to trade in India, and even as far as the West Indies where they owned plantations, and used slave labour. America and the West Indies had been discovered by Columbus, earlier.
They paid Queen Elizabeth £70,000 for the sole right to trade in the East. This monopoly was granted by Royal Carter, but it didn’t come into effect until midnight on the 31st of December 1600. Unknown to the general public, England became ruled by these Members of Parliament. They pooled their vast resources and decided to use this enormous wealth to conquer the world, an accomplishment that had failed the Roman Emperors and all Emperors both East and Went.
They formed the East India Company to carry out their plans. That company went on to create one subsidiary company after another, which were all owned and controlled by the same group of shareholders. Queen Elizabeth continued to reign, but the shareholders, which numbered 217 ruled Parliament, but that has never been acknowledged officially.
The shareholders created more subsidiaries and the subsidiaries created more. They are still creating and buying the most profitable companies in the world. The original East India Companies went on to become the multinational corporations that we all know today. Two years later they created the first Stock Exchange in the world in Amsterdam in 1602. It is still owned and controlled today by the descendant, of the original shareholders the East India companies.
Shares then, as today, are usually inherited by a son, although today it may well be a daughter. So those individuals who inherited the shares set up the Bank of England in 1694. The plan to create money out of nothing was a concept of a man called Sir William Paterson who was also a wealthy merchant.
It all began when he decided to put pen to paper and wrote out his plan and presented it to Parliament. His paper was entitled A Brief Account of the Intended Bank of England. The paper was not ambiguous in any way, it stated clearly; “The bank hath benefit of interest on all moneys which it creates out of nothing”. These Members of Parliament who ruled England, as already mentioned, also controlled the what became the largest multinational corporations in the world. Yes, it is a huge conflict of interest.
On the 27th of July 1694 Parliament unanimously passed the bill into law. Even though the bank was called the Bank of England, it was in effect a British Bank. These immoral developments enabled the East India companies and the British Empire to colonised much of the world: India, mush of Asia, North America, Australia, many parts of Africa, and many other countries. In total, they controlled a land surface of just less than a quarter of the land surface of the world, and they controlled a population of a little under a quarter of the world’s population.
The Board of Directors set out to take advantage of their dominant position, so they built a fleet of ships and employed their own armies. By the year 1800 they had 200,000 soldiers, more than twice the number that the British army had at that time.
The term “colonise” might suggest that they were there to help the people, but nothing could be further from the truth, they were there to plunder as much as they could, they stole their gold, silver, diamonds, and everything of value. No country in the world had sufficient power to prevent them from taking whatever was of value. In most cases, they created a government of greedy people who were willing to turn a blind eye to the theft of their resources.
China suffered greatly as a result of the opium wars with the East India Companies. The effect it had on those it conquered was devastating, and many thousands were killed, and many others enslaved. gold
These totally immoral people continued to grab men women and children from their homeland in Africa, and ship them to America, separating them, and sold them to the highest bidder. They slaughtered the indigenous people of America, Australia, South America and elsewhere, and stole their land, and sold it to the Europeans and others who emigrated to America.
When Christopher Columbus arrived in America, it is generally estimated by most researchers that the total population was about sixty million people. And in three hundred years that population had dropped to six million. Ninety percent of the population were killed because the shareholders of the East India Companies who also owned and controlled the Stock Exchange, and the international banking system, wanted to control the world.
The above is a very brief history. Now let’s look at their wealth and power, and the amount of death, pain, and suffering that they are still causing today.
According to the charity Oxfam International: “The combined earnings of the twenty-six richest people in the world, is more than the combined earnings of the poorest half of the global population”. Their 2020 report went on to say: “They become richer year on year, while the poor become poorer”. Oxfam International publish a financial report each year in an attempt to set the record straight with regard to the wealthiest people in the world. It’s not popular with the wealthiest people, so it gets almost no attention.
They publish it in January for it is in January that the world’s top political and financial leaders meet at Davos in Switzerland every year. They call themselves “The World Economic Forum”. The entire world reads what they say for the World Economic is global news for two or three weeks.
Everyone, and every organisation in the world that studies global wealth, know that the richest people in the world are the very top shareholders of the International Banking system. Those who study global wealth also know that they own most of the major multinational corporations.
Less than a thousand of the wealthiest individuals in the world with the help of the international media, which they also own, run the world to ensure that they become wealthier and more powerful each year. War is used, to ensure that they become more powerful. This is why we have a war in Eastern Europe, today.
A large number of other reputable global organisations also produce figures that are very similar to these, including the World Health Organisation and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation normally referred to as UNESCO. Their job is to produce the facts, so it is reasonable to assume, that they are correct.
In addition to these statistics many financial institutions worldwide produce figures that show that billionaires and millionaires are sprouting up like mushrooms around the world.
Fortune 500 Magazine has been producing economic and financial statistics for over sixty-six years, and it says that in 2020 there were 2,095 billionaires in the world based on the US dollar. Those countries who had the most in 2020 are the USA which had 614 billionaires, China had 389, Germany had 107, India had 102 and Russia 99 billionaires. The number of millionaires in the world is 46,791.
According to the U.S. State Department in 2019, the world has spent just short of three trillion dollars on average each year between 2007 and 2017 on military expenditures. According to them the United States is responsible for the bulk of the globe’s weapons trade, about 79% in all. The USA exported four times more arms around the globe than the next nine countries combined. All of these figures have been compiled by the U.S. State Department. If you want to read the full report, google, World Military Expenditures and Arms Transfers 2019.
We the taxpayers of the world, spend just short of three trillion dollars on average each year so that we, the people of the world, can kill one another. In the last century, we killed two hundred million people in war. Probably another two hundred million were injured. Women were widowed, and children orphaned. If you think about it for a day or two, you will have to conclude that this is an insane way to spend our (the taxpayers) money.
Again, in the last century, the obscenely wealthy, deliberately condemned four hundred million of the poorest people in the world to die, while they went on earning their millions or billions each year. The poorest people died from a lack of proper sanitary services, clean drinking water, or a lack of food.
For one human being, be they rich or poor, to kill another is a most serious crime. To kill millions is a vastly greater crime. Usually when a murder has been committed, the standard procedure used by police, around the world, is to ask; who gained the most? The one who has gained the most, may well be the criminal.
The soldiers certainly didn’t gain, neither did their wives, nor children, it wasn’t us, the taxpayers who paid for the war, so who gained the most? Research shows that the arms industry is the most profitable industry in the world. The arms used were made by the multinational corporations, that are owned by the bankers. Research also shows that the bankers, made a hundred trillion dollars, from selling the arms to our armies around the world. The richest people in the world made a trillion dollars profit each year over the hundred years. So, you see, it was the top shareholders of the international banking system, who gained the most.
This system of government is immoral and deceitful. It must come to an end, and it will come to an end, as soon as everyone discovers the truth, and thanks to instant global communication everyone will discover the truth. The sooner this happens the better for everyone on the planet.
To take just one of hundreds of examples, as to how the wealthiest people in the world have acquired all their wealth, while we the people of the world, believed the lies we were told. Today Iraqi oil is owned by a consortium, their headquarters is in London. The consortium is owned by a number of the largest oil companies in the world, these in turn are owned by the twenty-six wealthiest people in the world, and their colleagues some other shareholders.
The companies include Shell, BP, Exxon-Mobil, Total and others. So how did this happen? Well, some well paid supporters of the the Super-Wealthy made allegations that Iraq had weapons of mass-destruction. The UN inspectors repeatedly told the world that the allegations were totally unfounded. However, the US, the UK and thirty-five other countries invaded Iraq in 2003 simply because they wanted their oil. And of course, they got it.
Today, the general public are rather sensitive about governments deciding to go to war, so a government cannot simply invade another country without having a “good reason” for doing so. Obviously, they can’t simply say: we want their oil, and so, they have to conjure up a “reasonable” argument to convince as many as possible that it was necessary. National security is a favourite excuse for attacking other nations, and was used on that occasion, as they had alleged that Iraq had weapons of mass-destruction. It was proven that the UN inspectors were right.
If you would like to know what really happened from someone who worked under President George Bush Jr, and Dick Cheney who was the Vice President, go to our Video section and listen to Susan Lindauer. She was a C.I.A. asset who communicated between Washington and Baghdad. She revealed the truth, and ended up in prison. You can listen to her reveal the details as they unfolded.
If you are not convinced that we need to replace this fraudulent immoral system with an approach that is based on universally accepted principles, the following quotations may help.
Josiah Stamp was a Director of the Bank of England; He was deemed to be one of the wealthiest men in England. When speaking at the University of Texas in 1927 he said:
“Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money.”
On another occasion he wrote the following:
“The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is, perhaps, the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented”.
Thomas Jefferson wrote:
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.”
He also wrote:
“The modern theory of the perpetuation of debt has drenched the earth with blood, and crushed its inhabitants under burdens ever accumulating.”
Leo Tolstoy, the Russian author of War and Peace, wrote:
“Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal – that there is no human relation between master and slave.”
Reginald McKenna, as Chairman of the Midland Bank, addressing shareholders in 1924 said:
“I am afraid the ordinary citizen will not like to be told that 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 hand the destiny of the people”.
Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, wrote:
“It is well enough that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and money system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning”.
President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law in 1913. A number of years later, in a letter to a friend, he wrote:
“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. 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 by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men”.
