The rest of the missing chapter from Pawns In The Game – The International Conspiracy

The men who plot and plan to secure economic and political control of the world don’t hesitate to prostitute Love to achieve their ends, any more than they hesitate to order murder committed to rid them of men who stand in their way.  In 1857 the marriage of Lenora, daughter of Lionel Rothschild, to her cousin Alfonso of Paris (they believe in keeping things within the family) brought many international personages to London, England, where the ceremony was performed.  Benjamin Disraeli, the noted English Statesman, who was made Prime Minister in 1868 and again in 1874, was invited to be present.

Disraeli is reported to have said during his speech on that memorable occasion — “Under this roof are the heads of the family of Rothschild, a name famous in every capital of Europe, and every division of the globe.  If you like we shall divide the United States into two parts, one for you James, and one for you Lionel.  Napoleon will do exactly — and all that I advise him to do;  and to Bismarck will be suggested such an intoxicating programme as to make him our abject slave.”

History records that Judah P. Benjamin, a Rothschild relative, was appointed as their professional strategist in America.  The American Civil War, which split the Union in two, became an accomplished fact.

Napoleon III was persuaded by the Bankers to extend his French Empire into Mexico.  The British Government was persuaded that the Northern States could be made into a colony again.  The Civil War in the United States was an economic war brought about by the International Bankers.  By applying economic pressure it was a simple matter to aggravate the economic difficulties the Northern States encountered after the slaves had been given their freedom.  Abraham Lincoln admitted “No nation can long endure half free and half slaves.”^[5]

The international bankers loaned unlimited credit to all forces engaged by the South fighting the forces of the North.  They loaned Napoleon III, 201,500,000 francs for his Mexican campaign.  When the Confederacy needed assistance in 1863 the Powers-that-be offered Napoleon Texas and Louisiana in exchange for French intervention against the Northern States.

The Tzar of Russia heard of these preposterous offers and he informed the Governments of England and France that should they actively intervene, and give military aid to the South, Russia would consider such action as a declaration of war against the Imperial Russian Empire.  To strengthen his ultimatum Russian warships were sent to New York and San Francisco and placed at Lincoln’s disposal.^[6]

When the Northern authorities found themselves in financial difficulties the International Bankers didn’t refuse to loan the money.  They simply stipulated that the rate of interest to the Northern States would be 28 per cent.  After all, they were in business as money-lenders.  An important aspect of the American Civil War is that it would in all probability have reached a conclusion in a few months had not the international money-lenders made fresh loans.  These loans were usury.  They were based on terms and rates of interest which were calculated to give international bankers control of the economy of the whole country.  When they considered it time they ended the war.

Lincoln tried to break the financial bonds with which his Northern States were bound.  To him Article 1, Section 8, paragraph 5 of the Constitution was sufficient authority.  He disregarded the bankers’ overtures.  He caused $450,000,000 of Honest money to be printed.  He placed the Credit of the Nation as security behind this money.  The International Bankers retaliated by causing a Bill to be passed through Congress ruling that Lincoln’s Greenbacks would not be accepted as payment of interest on government bonds nor import duties.  The Bankers caused Lincoln’s money to become almost valueless by refusing to accept the Greenbacks except at a heavy discount.  Having beaten down the value of Greenback dollars to 30 cents they bought them all in.  They then turned around and bought government bonds with them demanding dollar for dollar value.  In this way they overcame a serious threat and made 70 cents on the dollar.

An article, inspired by the International Bankers, appeared in the London Times.  It concerned Abraham Lincoln’s issue of Greenbacks.  It said :  “If this mischievous financial policy, which has its origin in North America, shall become endurated down to a fixture, then that Government will furnish its own money without cost.  It will pay off debts and be without debt.  It will have all the money necessary to carry on its commerce.  It will become prosperous without precedent in the history of the world.  The brains, and wealth of all countries will go to North America.  THAT COUNTRY MUST BE DESTROYED OR IT WILL DESTROY EVERY MONARCHY ON THE GLOBE.”^[7]

The Hazard Circular was supplied to all banking interests from overseas.  It read “Slavery is likely to be abolished by war power.  This, I and my European friends are in favour of, because slavery is but the owning of labour, and carries with it the care of the labourers, while the European plan, led on by England, is that capital shall control labour by controlling wages.

“The great debt, that Capitalists will see is made out of the war, must be used to control the value of money.  To accomplish this government bonds must be used as a banking basis.  We are now waiting for the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States to make that recommendation.  It will not do to allow Greenbacks, as they are called, to circulate as money for any length of time as we cannot control that.  But we can control the bonds, and through them, the banking issues.”

The Bankers financed the election campaigns of enough Senators, and Congressmen, to assure them that the National Banking Act would become law.  The National Banking Act did become law in 1863 despite the vigorous protests of President Lincoln.  Thus the International Bankers won another round.  The people of the world had been brought one step nearer to economic, political and religious bondage.

On the letter head of Rothschilds’ Brothers, Bankers, London, England, under date of June 25th, 1863, the following was written to Messrs. Ikelheimer, Morton and Vandergould, No. 3 Wall Street, New York, U.S.A.

Dear Sirs :
A Mr. John Sherman has written us from a town in Ohio, U.S.A., as to profits that may be made in the National Banking business, under a recent act of your Congress;  a copy of this Act accompanies this letter.  Apparently this Act has been drawn up on the plan formulated by the British Bankers Association, and by that Association recommended to our American friends, as one that, if enacted into law, would prove highly profitable to the banking fraternity throughout the world.

Mr. Sherman declares that there has never been such an opportunity for capitalists to accumulate money as that presented by this act.  It gives the National Bank almost complete control of the National finance.  The few who understand the system he says will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favours, that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of the people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantages that capital derives from the system, will bear its burden without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests …

Your respectful servants,
ROTHSCHILD BROTHERS

In reply to the above letter Messrs. Ikelheimer, Morton and Vandergould replied :

Dear Sirs : We beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of June 25th, in which you refer to a communication received from Honourable John Sherman, of Ohio, with reference to the advantages, and profits, of an American investment under the provisions of the National Banking Act.

Mr. Sherman possesses, in a marked degree, the distinguishing characteristics of a successful financier.  His temperament is such that whatever his feelings may be they never cause him to lose sight of the main chance.  He is young, shrewd and ambitious.  He has fixed his eyes upon the Presidency of the United States and already is a member of Congress (he has financial ambitions too).  He rightfully thinks he has everything to gain by being friendly with men, and institutions, having large financial resources, and which at times are not too particular in their methods, either of obtaining government aid, or protecting themselves against unfriendly legislation.

As to the organization of the National Bank here, and the nature and profits of such investments, we beg leave to refer to our printed circulars enclosed herein, viz :

Any number of persons not less than five may organize a National Banking Corporation.

Except in cities having 6,000 inhabitants or less, a National Bank cannot have less than $1,000,000 capital.

They are private corporations organized for private gain, and select their own officers and employees.

They are not subject to control of State Laws, except as Congress may from time to time provide.

They may receive deposits and loan the same for their own benefit.  They can buy and sell bonds and discount paper and do general banking business.

To start a National Bank on the scale of $1,000,000 will require purchase of that amount (par value) of U.S. Government Bonds.  U.S. Bonds can now be purchased at 50 per cent discount, so that a bank of $1,000,000 capital can be started at this time for only $500,000.  These bonds must be deposited with the United States Treasury at Washington as security for the National Bank currency, that will be furnished by the government to the bank.

The United States Government will pay 6 per cent interest on all bonds in gold, the interest being paid semi-annually.  It will be seen that at the present price of bonds the interest paid by the government itself is 12 per cent in gold on all money invested.

The United States Government on having the bonds aforesaid deposited with the Treasurer, on the strength of such security will furnish National currency to the bank depositing the bonds, at an annual interest of only one per cent per annum.

The currency is printed by the U.S. Government in a form so like Greenbacks that the people do not detect the difference.  Although the currency is but a promise of the bank to pay.

The demand for money is so great that this money can be readily loaned to the people across the counter of the Bank at a discount at the rate of 10 per cent at thirty or sixty days time, making it about 12 per cent interest on the currency.

The interest on the bonds, plus the interest on the currency which the bond secures, plus the incidentals of the business, ought to make the gross earnings of the bank amount to from 28 per cent to 33 and one-third per cent.

National Banks are privileged to increase and contract their currency at will, and of course, can grant or withhold loans, as they may see fit.  As the banks have a National organization and can easily act together in withholding loans or extending them, it follows that they can by united action in refusing to make loans cause a stringency in the money market, and in a single week or even a single day cause a decline in all products of the country.

National Banks pay no taxes on their bonds, nor on their capital, nor on their deposits.

Requesting that you will regard this as strictly confidential.
Most respectfully yours,
IKELHEIMIER, MORTON and VANDERGOULD

Following the exchange of the above letters the American Bankers put into practice once again the manipulations mentioned.  They reaped another rich harvest by foreclosures on property and securities left with them as security for loans, which their clients could not repay because the Bankers, acting in unity, withdrew currency, and restricted credits, to a degree that made it impossible for the vast majority of borrowers to meet their financial obligations.

Abraham Lincoln felt that after this sad, and costly, experience the American people might be ready to listen to sense so, once again, he launched a public attack upon the bankers.

In an address he said :  “I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me, and causes me to tremble for the safety of my Country;  corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavour to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people, until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.”

Shortly after making this momentous speech Abraham Lincoln was re-elected President but before he could have legislation enacted which would have curbed the avaricious practices of the bankers he was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth while attending a theatrical performance, on the night of April 14th, 1865.  Very few Americans know why President Lincoln was assassinated.  The true answer was found when investigators located a coded message amongst Booth’s effects.  The key to that coded message was in possession of Judah P. Benjamin who was Rothschild’s agent in America.  While the coded message had no direct bearing on the murder, it definitely established the contact Booth had with the International Bankers.  Once again they remained hidden behind the scenes while the Jew, Booth, was blamed for the death of a great man.  Had Abraham Lincoln lived he would most certainly have clipped the wings, and trimmed the sails, of the international moneylenders.

Before Lincoln was murdered, Salmon P. Chase, who was Secretary of the U.S. Treasury 1861-1864, stated publicly :  “My agency in promoting the passage of the National Banking Act was the greatest financial mistake of my life.  It has built up a monopoly which affects every interest in the country.  It should be repealed, but before that can be accomplished the people will be arrayed on one side, and the banks on the other, in a contest such as we have never seen before in this country.”^[8]

In 1866 there were $1,906,687,770 in currency in circulation in the United States.  This represented $50.46 per capita.  At the end of 1876 there was only about $605,250,000 in circulation representing a per capita amount of $14.60.  The currency of the nation had been reduced by bank withdrawals to the extent of over $1,300,000,000.  The importance of these figures will be better understood by the average man when he learns that the net result of the bankers policy was a total of 56,446 business failures representing a loss of $2,245,105,000 in cash investments.  The larger proportion of the losses was incurred by mortgage foreclosures.  In other words, by withdrawing currency and restricting credits the bankers had enriched themselves by well over $2,000,000,000 in a little over ten years.  There is plenty of evidence to prove that the American Bankers and the European Bankers, have been affiliated ever since, and that the subsequent depressions were created by similar financial manipulations, as will be explained in other chapters.
