Usury: Weapon Of Control And Enslavement – Part 1 Of 2

Bilderberg GroupThe world economy is based on the sand foundation of usury, which was considered a sin and tool of covert warfare for thousands of years.

The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender. Proverbs 22:7 

Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who writes its laws — Attributed to Mayer Amschel Rothschild

The world financial system seems complex but it is actually very simple: a cabal of bankers has conquered the world by lending people and governments money that does not exist and charging interest on it. No lasting economic recovery or increased standard of living is possible for the majority unless usury and the political power of bankers are abolished.

History

Usury is the lending of money with interest.

Historically, many cultures regarded the charging of interest for loans as sinful. Some of the earliest known condemnations of usury come from the Vedic texts of India. Similar condemnations are found in the religious texts from Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. At times, many nations from ancient China to ancient Greece to ancient Rome have outlawed loans with any interest. Though the Roman Empire eventually allowed loans with carefully restricted interest rates, the Christian church in medieval Europe banned the charging of interest at any rate.

Usury has been denounced by a number of religious leaders and philosophers in the ancient world, including Moses, Plato, Aristotle, Cato, Cicero, Seneca, Jesus, Aquinas, Martin Luther, Muhammad, Gautama Buddha.

The ancient Israelites called usury “a bite.” It is like the slow poison of a serpent: “Usury does not all at once destroy a man or nation with, as it were, a bloody gulp. Rather, it slowly, sometimes nearly imperceptibly, subverts the victim’s constitution until he cannot prevent the fatal consequences even though he knows what is coming.”

The Fall Of Reason: How To Protect Your Sanity In An Insane World (And Achieve Spiritual Victory In The Process)

I’m reaching out to you all with words of assurance as I write this story. By now, I think we all are overwhelmingly convinced that we live in an insane world. I call it the “post-reason era.”

It’s a world full of irrational people, criminal corporations, deceptive government, the abandonment of law and even the “dogmatizing” of the sciences which once claimed to be based on reason. In popular culture, we’ve got the insanity of the Trayvon Martin drama in which the abandonment of law is now institutionalized in the justice system itself, where prosecutors are allowed to commit crimes as part of a “trial,” and state attorneys are encouraged to misapply the justice system so that it might be used as a political weapon.

In the realm of medicine, we’ve got patients being routinely poisoned with deadly chemicals in cancer clinics, infants being injected with deadly methyl mercury via vaccines, “preventive” double mastectomies being promoted as a women’s rights issue, and now the new “bioethics” idea that parents have the right to abort newborn babies up to the age of three.

The mind-warping linguistic engineers in the media have infected the population with wild delusions while the banksters get subsidized by the government to keep stealing — and losing — your money over and over again. A toxic chemical variety of fluoride is dripped into the water supply to keep people in a never-ending state of mental stupor, and television is scripted to foment hatred, violence, division and paranoia so that the rise of the surveillance police state can continue relentlessly.

Terror events are plotted by the FBI, pedophiles run rampant throughout the culture and television is now sexualizing children and depicting six-year-olds dressed as prostitutes as “normal.” Meanwhile, anyone who cites American history — Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Thomas Payne — is immediately branded a possible terrorist and then electronically stalked by the NSA which we now know is reading all our emails and listening to all our phone calls.

At every turn, our sanity is being sucker-punched by a culture gone mad. We are watching the downfall of civilization right before our very eyes,

So how do you stay sane as all this madness is swirling around you? I offer you six safe harbors, ranging from the practical to the spiritual:

#1) Stop wasting time trying to awaken the zombies

First, realize that you are not going to be able to stop the collapse. Human civilization today is much like a burned-out star that has just flamed out its last nuclear fuel. Now the implosion has begun, and the immutable forces of physics will collapse that star into itself.

Triumph of the Gods of Light

Zen-Haven April 20 2013 (Thanks, Soren)

imageThe real control of the world is secret. I call it the Fifth Reich. The First Reich was the Roman Empire. People admire their art and culture, but the Romans were truly, deeply nasty supremacists, racists, and evil beyond extreme. They had few redeeming features. They eventually became more and more indulgent and fat. The corrupt rulers fed mercilessly off the Roman merchants, and in the end they didn’t have enough money to pay their armies to defend the empire. Their terror lasted over three hundred years.

The Second Reich was that of Charlemagne. They called him the Holy Roman Emperor. There was nothing holy about Charlemagne. He was an evil man, and the terror he wrought was staggering in its cruelty. He executed four thousand people on one day.

The Third Reich was that of Hitler. He thought to rule for a thousand years. He was the most perceptive and powerful ever – a real initiate of the dark side. He might have pulled it off. Drug addiction (morphine) clouded his knowing and he started to make mistakes.

The Fourth Reich is the empire of the Americans that has dominated the world, politically and economically, since the fall of Hitler.

The Fifth Reich is the hidden Reich. It’s the real controller of this world. There is an external human manifestation of its power and an inner one, a transdimensional one. The external is just a few thousand families that run the world in secret. It’s the industrial war machine, the big landowners, Mafia families, criminals in Eastern Europe, the Asian Houses, and of course the Empire of the Jews, which will now come under more and more attack as the years go past.

People will become suspicious of the hidden control they exercise. David Icke refers to the controlling families of the world as the Illuminati. Call them what you will, they own the U.S. dollar, they control all markets in wealth, they own the media, they say what laws will be passed, who is in power, who is not. Democracy is their plaything, it doesn’t really exist for ordinary people.

Anyone moving against these forces will be marginalized, vilified, or just gotten rid of. There is no escape for humanity from these predators. We are in their prison. But beyond the controllers and the predators are transdimensional beings (TDs); they are here in this evolution with us, and they hold up the fascist systems that masquerade as democracy. They can talk directly to the human mind and make it think its thoughts are all its own.

They have an agenda. They want people subservient to their controllers – powerless, broke, scared, and stupefied. They seek to drag humanity into fear, despair, evil, and breakdown. The TDs also seek immortality so they rob us of our etheric power silently without us knowing, and of course they want absolute power over the human mind for the transdimensionals are as I said, supremacists.

The Party People of Wall Street

Bill Moyers & Michael Winship (Common Dreams) | RS_News | January 31 2012

OPINION | A week or so ago, we read in The New York Times about what in the Gilded Age of the Roman Empire was known as a bacchanal – a big blowout at which the imperial swells got together and whooped it up. [The St. Regis Hotel in Manhattan was the site of a black-tie dinner for Kappa Beta Phi, whose members were told “what happens at the St. Regis stays at the St. Regis.” (John Marshall Mantel for The New York Times))] The St. Regis Hotel in Manhattan was the site of a black-tie dinner for Kappa Beta Phi, whose members were told “what happens at the St. Regis stays at the St. Regis.”

This one occurred here in Manhattan at the annual black-tie dinner and induction ceremony for Kappa Beta Phi. That’s the very exclusive Wall Street fraternity of billionaire bankers, and private equity and hedge fund predators. People like Wilbur Ross, the vulture capitalist; Robert Benmosche, the CEO of AIG, the insurance giant that received tens of billions in bailout money; and Alan “Ace” Greenberg, former chairman of Bear Stearns, the failed investment bank bought by JPMorgan Chase.

They got together at the St. Regis Hotel off Fifth Avenue to eat rack of lamb, drink and haze their newest members, who are made to dress in drag, sing and perform skits while braving the insults, wine-soaked napkins and petit fours – those fancy little frosted cakes – hurled at them by the old guard. In other words, a gilt-edged Animal House, food fight and all.

This year, the butt of many a joke were the protesters of Occupy Wall Street. In one of the sketches, the bond specialist James Lebenthal scolded a demonstrator with a face tattoo, “Go home, wash that off your face and get back to work.” And in another, a member – dressed like a protester – was told, “You’re pathetic, you liberal. You need a bath!”

Pretty hilarious stuff. The whole affair’s reminiscent of the wingdings the robber barons used to throw during America’s own Gilded Age a century and a half ago, when great wealth amassed at the top, far from the squalor and misery of working stiffs. Guests would arrive in the glittering mansions for costume balls that rivaled Versailles, reinforcing the sense of superiority and the virtue of a ruling class that depended on the toil and sweat of working people.

Even the Ancient Roman Empire Wasn’t as Unequal as America

Business InsiderSome 1,500 years after the fall of the Roman Empire, the supposedly advanced and progressive United States of America is plagued by even worse income inequality.

Tim De Chant at Per Square Mile reached this conclusion based on a study by historians Walter Schiedel and Steven Friesen.

Rome’s top 1% controlled 16 percent of the wealth, compared to modern America where the top 1% controls 40 percent of the wealth.

Looking at the Gini coefficient, where 0 means perfect equality and 1 means perfect inequality, Rome measured between 0.42 and 0.44. Modern America scores worse at 0.45, and some areas are much worse like Fairfield County, Conn. with an alarming 0.54.
