 Business As Usual, 2005.
"There are no permanent allies and no
permanent enemies-just permanent interests." “There is no proletarian, not even a Communist movement, that has not operated in the interests of money, and for the time being permitted by money - and that without the idealists among its leaders having the slightest suspicion of the fact.” -Oswald Spengler, The Decline of the West, 1926, page . “The few who understand the system, will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that there will be no opposition from that class. The great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantages, will bear its burden without complaint.” -Rothschild Brothers of London, June 25, 1863, in a letter to fellow members of the establishment. "Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men, for the nastiest of reasons, will somehow work for the benefit of us all."
-John Maynard Keynes “By a continuing process of
inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important
part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate,
but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it
actually enriches some... The process engages all the hidden forces of economic
law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a
million is able to diagnose.” -John Maynard Keynes, The
Economic Consequences of the Peace, 1919.“All who recall the condition of the country in 1890 will remember that there was everywhere, among the people generally, a deep feeling of unrest. The nation had been rid of human slavery - fortunately, as all now feel - but the conviction was universal that the country was in real danger from another kind of slavery sought to be fastened on the American people: namely, the slavery that would result from aggregations of capital in the hands of a few individuals and corporations controlling, for their own profit and advantage exclusively, the entire business of the country, including the production and sale of the necessities of life.” -excerpt from the decision of the Court in Standard Oil of New Jersey v. United States, 221 U.S. 83, 1911. “The bank hath benefit of interest on all moneys which it creates out of nothing.” -William Paterson, founder of the Bank of England, ca.1694. “I am afraid that 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 hands the destiny of the people.” -Reginald McKenna, speaking to
stockholders as Chairman of the Board of Midland Bank, January 1924. "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 deposits, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, 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 deposits." -Sir Josiah Stamp (1880-1941), President of the Bank of England in the 1920's. "You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations; there are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems; one vast, interwoven, interacting, multivaried, multinational dominion of dollars.... It is the international system of currency which determines the vitality of life on this planet. THAT is the natural order of things today. THAT is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today. And YOU have meddled with the primal forces of nature... You get up on your little 21-inch screen and howl about America, and democracy. There is no America; there is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.... The world is a business, Mr. Beale; it has been since man crawled out of the slime." -Arthur Jensen to Howard Beale, Network, 1976. "When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes...Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain." -Napoleon Bonaparte “... 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.” -Prof. Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope, 1966, page 324. "'Let us control
the money of a country and we care not who makes
its laws.' This is the maxim of the house of
Rothschilds, and is the foundation principle of
European banks. If a country and its people are
mortgaged for the assessed value of their
property, and the bankers control the money, the
bondholders and not the people own that country.
It makes no difference whether you call it a
republic or a monarchy." -T. Cushing Daniel, Financial
writer testifying before the
House and Senate
Subcommittees on Banking and Currency,
1914, page 771.‘‘These are the rules of big
business. They have superseded the teachings of our parents and are reducible
to a simple maxim: Get a monopoly; let Society work for you; and remember that
the best of all business is politics, for a legislative grant, franchise,
subsidy or tax exemption is worth more than a Kimberly or Comstock lode, since
it does not require any labor, either mental or physical, for its exploitation.’’ -Frederick C. Howe, Confessions
of a Monopolist, 1906, pageBe the first to post a comment. | ||||||||||||
