2000 Years Ago, Rome was Bankrupt. 1000 Years Ago, The United Kingdom was Bankrupt. Today, We are Bankrupt.. Same People, Same Pattern...

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Tom Dennen

 It took the Roman Empire three hundred years for usury to become ‘just the way it is”. They never fully understood it, because it was an attack on scoiety carried out by the same unseen enemy as today… “a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.” JFK’s Secret Societies speech.

But Rome finally did stop “the ancient curse”.

By the time Emperor Tiberius (42 B.C TO 37 A.D.) took over, Rome was in an econnomic shambles: the Romans had had enough of massive punitive interest rates and multiple foreclosures that robbed them of their properties, tired of poverty and a disparity of wealth.

At that time, “… a powerful host of accusers fell with sudden fury on the class which systematically increased its wealth by usury in defiance of a law passed by Caesar defining the terms of lending money and of holding estates in Italy, a law long obsolete because the public good is sacrificed to private interest” – Tacitus, The Annals of Rome, A.D. 29

Tiberius Caesar threw the moneylenders out of Italy and and granted a year and six months to settle all private accounts.

”Hence followed a scarcity of money, a great shock being given to all credit, the current coin too, in consequence of the conviction of so many persons and the sale of their property being locked up in the imperial treasury or the public exchequer.

In today’s money a solid gold sesterce would be valued at $16, so the bailout then could be valued at around $1.6 billion in a country with less than a million adults in the population.

Sound familiar?

A thousand years later, Henry the First discovered that the Roman Curse had been in effect in the United Kingdom for almost three hundred years before his reign and in 1086 threw the moneylenders out for the same reasons as Tiberius: because of disputes over “matters of usury”.

Much has been said and written about the current economic crises except that it is nothing new.

This is the third time the usurers have slowly and subtly infiltrated western empires, epitomized by what is known as Timothy Geithner’s ‘revolving door’ between Wall Street and the White House today, for moneylenders are now finally and fully in charge, not politicians and certainly not “The People”.

It’s a long story but simple: a credit- based economy does not work unless government and no other entitiy, controls both the issue of money and the interest rates (if any) on the use of the money supply.

If you want to study economics, find a working economy and study that. Benjamin Franklin’s Colonies were a very good example of working economies, keeping in mind the golden rule: ”More money must come in than what goes out, whether a household, a business or a nation”.​

The reason [the colonial economic model works] is simple.” wrote Franklin. “In the Colonies, we issue our own paper money. It is called ‘Colonial Scrip.’ We issue it in proper proportion to make the goods and services pass easily from the producers to the consumers. In this manner, creating ourselves our own paper money, we control its purchasing power and we have no interest to pay to anyone.

“The Colonies would gladly have borne the little tax on tea and other matters had it not been the poverty caused by the bad influence of the English bankers on the Parliament, which has caused in the Colonies a hatred of England and the Revolutionary War.”

Today we are in the same boat as Tiberiu and Henry, but have no leader to throw them out except JFK, who was taken out of the system.

Almost every nation in the world today is up against a wall of debt owned by an international, privately-owned, for-profit central banking system. The World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) are run by a small group of lenders holding the world to ransom through an ancient and evil curse… usury.

Most of Europe and the United States (since May 2013) are sitting on a debt-to-Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratio of over 100%, which means that 100% of tax and other government revenues are spent on ‘debt servicing’ and not on service delivery.

To pay for it all, the debt ceiling is raised and more money borrowed from private banks.

John F. Kennedy saw all of this and set in motion two initiatives to get America out of the Roman Curse: one, a pull-out from the money making machine called the Cold Wars and the Viet Nam or Middle East Conflict after the expensive First and Second World Wars and two, the introduction of a Franklin-style ‘colonial scrip’ called the Silver Certifiicate which, when cashed in at a bank would give you a silver dollar containing one ounce of 99-fine silver that you could spend anywhere in the world.

Why America Loses all its Wars

After turning down the banks’ offer of 39% or more on loans to finance his Civil War, Abraham Lincoln also issued a ‘Colonial Scrip’, a government currency with the same function as Franklin’s: to make goods and services pass easily from producers to consumers. It was . called the Greenback Dollar.

When the dust settles after this current three-hundred-year credit-driven quicksand of debt, will history keep the two thousand year record intact and allow us to avoid it happening a fourth time?

Or will we allow ourselves to arbitrarily ‘raise the credit limit’ on our bank cards and spend as much as we want, indefinitely, just like the modern moneylenders running the world’s governments are doing and extend our ‘credit’ into infinite depths of debt?

Or do we ‘get off the grid’ and look after ourselves?

The media entities did not liesten to Kennedy’s last words to them…

And so it is to the printing press–to the recorder of mans deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news– that we look for strength and assistance, confident that with your help man will be what he was born to be: free and independent.”

Is there any Escape for America Now? – by Tom Dennen:

Some random notes (there are massive data supporting the above claims.)

Today, in America as well as in Europe, we are under the regime of the Moneylenders’ Scrip instead of Lincoln or Franklin’s government scrip. And so there are huge public debts, everlasting interest charges and taxes that rob us of our purchasing power.

Result? A consolidation of the global financial dictatorship and the poverty of nations.

moneylenders traveling fom the middle East,

the rest of the Middle Ages is quite beyond me…

Holocaust research is illegal and prosecuted for ‘disturbing the Peace’.

One of the great Capitalist scams is the “Pump & Dump” op, a form of microcap or ‘chop’ stock fraud that involves artificially inflating the price of an owned stock through “false and misleading positive statements in order to sell the cheaply purchased stock at a higher price” which can be done by computers in nanoseconds.

Lying in other words.

At the peak of tulip mania, in February 1637, some single tulip bulbs did indeed sell “for more than 10 times the annual income of a skilled craftsman”, a fairly convincing pump & dump operation for the Crowned Heads, who immediately went into partership with the erstwhile exiles fom humanity, offering them a Fifth Estate, Legitimate Banking, nee loan sharking, in which they were equal partners and Timothy Geithner could wander through the revolving doors between Goldbag Sucks and the Chair of the Secretary of the Treasury.

Capitalist history is three centuries of legally stolen middle class wealth engineered by the Fifth Estate (that eventually bought out the Fourth, that pesky reminder of veniality, embedded in every marching army in the world but kept from court and inner chamber), as outlined in “The Great Reckoning” by James Dale Davidson and William Rees-Mogg, Sidgwick & Jackson, 1993.

the Vatican Bank became part of the cartel that controls the world’s currencies and interest rates, a ‘holy’ partnership that stretches back to the early 1400′s (Tulip Time) and the Pope’s banker at that time, Cosimo de’ Medici who was, according to some historians, making a concerted effort at ‘legitimizing’ loan sharking through the Church, which Pope John Paul the First failed to rectify in the 1980′s, possibly because of his suspicious demise a month into his papacy.
 

Eventually the goldsmiths recognized that only a fraction of depositors ever came in and demanded their gold at any one time, and discovered how to cheat their own system. They started to issue more receipts than they had gold to back those receipts and no one was any the wiser. They would loan out these receipts which were not backed by the gold they had in their depositories and collect interest on them… do the math!!

      Usury is only one of many moral ills, which overtakes us, a little at a time, in that any material or useful resource can be driven to scarcity, taken from the hands of the innocent, and re-purposed for sin.

      The job, vehicle you wanted, or even a glass of water, can be taken from you and given to a worse person, and, nowadays, usually is.

      1000 years ago there was no United Kingdom, there were smaller kingdoms which became the UK. Scotland, Wales, Cornwall and England. Scotland, Wales and Cornwall are Celtic and England has tried to invade most of them except Cornwall. You may notice how now Cornwall has been omitted from being recognised as being one of the four nations and replaced by Ireland, due to Englands unoffical invasion which started in the 1900s, and its only now been re-recognised as Celtic after years of suppression. But then Cornwall may not be the Queens land as the Duke of Cornwall inherits the Duchy of Cornwall, which is the Dukes private estate, on his 18th birthday. The Duchy of Cornwall Bill launched in 2014 in the House of Lords tries to strip the Duke of his powers and hand them to the Queen.

        Because history is not taught in western schools, the economic side is left out except for the major disasters. With that in mind i have used an historical license ot describe the British isles at that time. The economic event is fact.
