In part one, we left off with a quotation from Mr. G. Edward Griffin in his monumental exposé of the Federal Reserve, The Creature from Jekyll Island. In the lecture before that, we had quoted from Mr. Eustace Mullins in his pioneering work exposing the Fed, The Federal Reserve Conspiracy.
We now continue with me posing as a Progressive critic who might counter, “But Bruggeman, you are only quoting from conservative and right-wing publications.”
Well, first of all, I would answer that one could label Eustace Mullins and G. Edward Griffin and myself as conservatives, but right wingers? Never! I assert that with emphasis because almost everyone has been brainwashed to believe the false left-right political spectrum which has been shoved down our throats our entire lives.
That political spectrum makes no logical sense. For example, why are the Nazis and Fascists supposedly on the far right, while we are told that the Communists and Socialists are on the far left. That is crazy; they are all totalitarian in nature and in practice.
Anyone who stands for the Constitution is in the middle of the spectrum, not on the far right; because anyone who wants to conserve the principles in the Constitution should be viewed as the center of a logical political spectrum.
A logical, common sense political spectrum is one that measures the amount and size of government, not what label is attached to that form of government.
Properly understood, anyone who favors more and bigger government than that specified by the Constitution is a left-winger. Therefore, the far left contains all the totalitarians, regardless of the label attached to them. So on the left, there are Communists, Socialists, Nazis, Fascists, Progressives and many so-called liberals.
Anyone who desires less government than the Constitution specifies is on the right wing. There, towards the right, we find the libertarians, and on the far right are those who seek to tear down all government, and they are called anarchists, a word derived from the Greek language meaning “no rules,” or “no rulers.”
I have explained this in substantial detail in the first three lectures of my series Mystery Babylon and the Stone Kingdom. And I think it is important to keep hammering this concept into our minds. Because, as George Orwell noted in his classic novel, 1984, about totalitarian government, he who controls the language controls the society.
So, as to the charge of me quoting only so-called right-wing sources, that is bogus on its face because both Mr. Mullins and Mr. Griffin were staunch Constitutionalists. I said “were” but as far as I know, Mr. Griffin is still alive and active.
The fact is that truth is truth, no matter who publishes it, and furthermore, I do quote from non-conservative sources and left-wing publications as well. For example, I shall now quote from a book very much approved by the very liberal, left-wing Establishment.
Note: As is my custom, all emphases and comments within [brackets] or {braces} are mine, unless otherwise noted.
This book was winner of the National Book Award and was called a “tour de force” by the New York Times Book Review. The book is called The House of Morgan and runs for 812 pages.
It was written by Ron Chernow, who also wrote an 820-page tome called The Warburgs, in which I have discovered some very telling paragraphs, which I shall forego for now.
Now, put on your thinking caps as you listen or read, because clever writers who are desiring to garner the accolades of the Establishment, such as Chernow, or as Niall Ferguson does with his very glowing two-volume treatment of the Rothschilds, even these “approved” writers must be cautious about how much they reveal and they must be very clever and even subtle about it.
So here are a series of what I think are revealing quotes from Chernow’s book, The House of Morgan. I shall explain why they are revealing as we read between the lines to pick up the subtlety.
QUOTE: The father and son team of Junius and Pierpont Morgan came on the world banking scene at a time of phenomenal expansion of banking power. We shall call it the Baronial Age. END QUOTE
That’s cute, Mr. Chernow. Did you notice what he’s doing there?... By calling this era when international bankers were amassing great power the Baronial Age… Well, what is the root word of “Baronial?” The root word is “baron,” correct?
You see, what he is cleverly attempting to do here is to dissociate the key players in his narrative from that which other historians more truthfully call “The Age of the Robber Barons.” So that is our first example of how Leftists and apologists for the bankers ply their deceptive occupation. We continue to QUOTE:
It coincided with the rise of railroads and heavy industry. ...As the Baronial Age progressed, the line between finance and commerce would blur until much of industry passed under the control of the bankers. END QUOTE [ p. 24]
Translation? By their control of the money system, the bankers seized control over industry and commerce. Skipping ahead, we find this.
QUOTE: No less than to industry, bankers dictated terms to sovereign states, PAUSE QUOTE
In other words, in addition to industry and commerce, the bankers also took control over governments. Next, Mr. Chernow quotes Disraeli who was the Prime Minister of Great Britain under Queen Victoria in the mid-to-late 1800s.
Continuing to QUOTE: ...Benjamin Disraeli wrote of ‘the mighty loan-mongers on whose fiat the fate of kings and empires sometimes depended.’ ... The bankers acquired such power because many governments in wartime lacked the sophisticated tax machinery to sustain the fighting.” [p. 24] A familiar adage said that the wealth of the Rothschilds consisted of the bankruptcy of nations. [p. 25] END QUOTE
Alright now, listeners and readers, with all our neurons firing in a logical thinking pattern, does it not make sense that the international banksters who loan money to governments would have a vested interest in wars? Of course, they would.
They profit immensely from all the wars, on both sides, or on all sides of the conflicts which their agents engineer, and which results in the death and destruction and detriment of the populations of all the nations involved in the wars. In Revelation 18, here is what God says about Mystery Babylon...
Revelation 18:24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of [10%? no! of] all that were slain upon the earth.
Chernow discusses the Progressives and their attempts at “reforming” Wall Street and industry and then confirms what many of us have known for a long time about nearly all politicians: they rant and rail and talk a great game about abuses and injustices, but then they actually do nothing. But listen at how nicely Mr. Chernow phrases it. QUOTE:
For all his windy attacks on the trusts, Teddy Roosevelt had been far more circumspect about translating his words into tough action. [p. 131] END QUOTE
A page earlier, Chernow gave his description of the secret meeting on Jekyll Island, and he includes this gem: “The Jekyll Island meeting would be the fountain of a thousand conspiracy theories.” [p. 129]
And then he goes right on to describe—without using the word “conspiracy”—how that is exactly what it was, a meeting of the cream of the crop of Wall Street to come up with a central bank to control the money in the United States. Mr. Chernow’s very next sentence is:
QUOTE: Here [on Jekyll Island] Wall Street bankers worked out their plan for a central bank under private aegis... END QUOTE
The key words there are “under private aegis.” Then Chernow relates how it finally got through Congress and was signed by their Progressive stooge, President Woodrow Wilson. “Progressive stooge” is my description, not Chernow’s.
Then Chernow reveals in so many words how that the little Progressives—the useful idiots in the streets—what they were expecting from this banking reform actually produced the exact opposite.
Surprise, surprise! Remember the Hegelian dialectical tactic I taught many lectures ago? Pressure from above, pressure from below? Aka, thesis, antithesis, synthesis? Chernow states, QUOTE:
“Progressives hoped the Federal Reserve would reduce the House of Morgan’s unique power. As we shall see, the truth was far more complex, for the bank would skillfully harness the Fed and use it to amplify its powers.
In an ironic outcome unforeseen by reformers, it would become the private bank of choice for central banks throughout the world, giving it an incalculable new advantage.” [p. 130] END QUOTE
Did you catch Chernow’s subtle lie? He said, it was an ironic outcome unforeseen by reformers. It is true as applied to the useful idiots in their protesting. But it is patently false as applied to the politicians who prattles about “reform.”
Those “reformers” knew exactly what they were doing; they were doing the bidding of the bankers that financed them. Fifty pages later, Chernow confirms the power grab in these statements.
(To be continued.)
