Money also has a part to play in this. I Tim 6:10 tells us "the love of money is the root of all evil". Money is not evil, it is the love of money that is the root of all evil, and we see something very evil in Rev 13. The person who loves money will try to accumulate as much of it as possible for the power it brings. Most of us deal with banks: we have checking accounts and savings accounts; we take out mortgages; we have and use credit cards; we take out loans for various purposes: cars, tuition, major purchases.

Banks operate under something called fractional reserve. Because it is very unlikely that all depositors would go to the bank and withdraw their funds at the same time, the money on deposit is loaned out to others. Further, a determination is made that the total deposits in a bank at any one time is some fraction of the total value of assets available. For example, if the fraction is set at ten percent and each of ten people deposits $10 in his savings account, the bank has a total of $100 on deposit, but is credited with having a total of $1000. The extra $900, which does not actually exist, is then loaned out at interest. This means that banks have, and indeed use, the power to create money out of nothing, and further, to receive interest for loaning out something that does not exist. Further, most loans require the borrower to put up something of value as collateral, and if the borrower does not repay the loan, both principal and interest, the bank can seize the asset and resell it to someone else.

In the early 1800s a German man named Amschel Moses Bauer started in the banking business in a small way, loaning money to local governments. Bauer decided to expand his banking establishment by loaning money to national governments. The family name was changed to Rothschild and all five sons were given the title of Baron by Francis I of Austria. Mayer Amschel Rothschild set up his five sons in banking houses, each in a different country: 1) Meyer in Frankfort, Germany; 2) Solomon in Vienna, Austria; 3) Nathan in London, England; 4) Carl in Naples, Italy; and, 5) James in Paris, France.

These banking houses loaned money to national governments and it was a sweet deal. Loans require collateral, and because the banks were in the hands of a single family and blood is thicker than water, the governments could be threatened with war if they should default on their loans. The Rothschild brothers could finance both sides of any conflict thereby insuring not only that the debtor would pay its debts but that enormous fortunes would be made in the financing of the war. By 1850 the house of Rothschild represented more wealth than all the royal families of Europe combined

There were other families and individuals who understood the plan for world domination and were made part of it: Rockefeller - oil; Carnegie - steel; Mellon - oil; Morgan - railroads; Baruch - banking; Warburg - banking; Rhodes - diamonds and gold. These people received financial backing from Rothschild and closed their connections through intermarriage, corporations and foundations . Their plan is to own all the wealth in the world which will give them total control of the world. They have the ways and the means to do it.

There are lots of connected organizations, some of the most important being the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderburg Group.

In order to further their plan it was necessary that they gain absolute control over the money systems of individual nations through central banks. Some of our presidents opposed forming a central bank. Andrew Jackson, the only president to pay off the national debt, said, "I was one of those who do not believe that a national bank is a national blessing, but rather a curse to a republic; inasmuch as it is calculated to raise around the administration a moneyed aristocracy dangerous to the liberties of the country." Eventually under Woodrow Wilson we got our central bank.

The Federal Reserve prints our money, sets interest rates, and controls the credit of the USA. The Fed is not a public organization, it is privately owned. The principal stockholders are: Rothschild Bank of England, Rothschild Bank of Berlin, Lazard Brothers Bank of Paris, Israel Moses Seiff Banks of Italy, Warburg Banks of Hamburg and Amsterdam, Lehman Brothers Bank of New York, Kuhn, Loeb Bank of New York, Chase Manhattan Bank of New York, Goldman and Sachs Bank of New York. The U.S. government does not own even one share of stock. Look at a dollar: it says at the top 'Federal Reserve Note'. A note represents a debt. Our money represents debt because it is in fact BORROWED from the Federal Reserve.

This monetary control over nations means that those who hold the purse strings call the shots.

The Rothschild family holds the purse strings. It is said that Baron Nathan Mayer de Rothschild once arrogantly exclaimed, during a party in his mansion, 'I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man that controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply. Let me issue and control a nation's money, and I care not who writes the laws.'

If you listen to CNN you will hear the following every day: "morning gold fixing in London is set at $x". Each day someone sets the price at which gold will be traded that day. So who does this 'morning gold fixing'? the London Rothschilds, who own the majority of the gold. The ownership of gold is important because in a free market gold is stable, durable, beautiful, and its volume does not increase rapidly. Gold is a good choice to back the currency of a country.

Ancient Israel was a theocracy (government under God) and they did have a type of 'central bank.' It was the temple and the temple treasury. The gold was used in the actual construction of the temple and the people could visually see the wealth of their nation, in fact, they were commanded by God to visit the temple in Jerusalem annually. This wealth was used to glorify God and as long as Israel served God it was under God's control. Wealth is a blessing from God when it is used as he directs.

As a nation, the US has lost its godly roots. We have also lost our gold. Between 1958 and 1968, with the knowledge and agreement of the US government, fifty-two percent of our gold reserves left the country and went into the hands of the international bankers - that same family that sets the price of gold every morning in London, that same family that owns and controls the US Federal Reserve. We see items on the news all the time about Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan changing interest rates to control inflation. We are led to believe that inflation is caused by: 1) consumers, businesses and governments spending too heavily on available goods and services causing high demand which forces price increases; 2) rise in costs of production leading to rises in price to maintain profit levels; and 3) lack of competition between producers.

The truth is that these things do not cause inflation, inflation causes these things. Inflation is caused by increasing the money supply, simply printing more money which reduces the value of all the money in circulation. This is why counterfeiting is illegal: it lowers the value of property held by others. The Fed prints our money - this is legalized counterfeiting. The Fed then adjusts the interest rates so their stock holders can make money even when the money loses its value. If the actual numbers of bills in circulation is increased their value is decreased. In order for the banks to make money, they must keep interest rates at a level higher than inflation, and they get the difference. Like God, the Federal Reserve has the power to create something, money, out of nothing. This can be seen on a personal level: the interest rate on your savings account is always lower than the interest rate on your loans.

In a nutshell, when the US government passed the Federal Reserve Act under Woodrow Wilson, they GAVE the wealth of America over into private hands. Since that time, our government has financed itself by borrowing back its own money, at interest, from the bankers. Further, since the bankers have the power to create money out of nothing, our government is actually borrowing something that does not exist except as a computer entry. They then waste what has been borrowed and of course borrow more. This is the cause of the federal deficit which is currently (1/21/06) at more than $8.1 trillion.

The USA will default on its loans at the time that it is unable to pay the interest on its debt. At that time the collateral will be seized and this country will go into a depression that will make the 1930s look like a time of unprecedented prosperity. This was supposed to happen in1995: the year when all the taxes collected by the federal government was not projected to cover the interest on the debt. A balanced budget amendment will not solve the problem. Congress could balance the budget anytime they wanted by simply stopping their borrowing and their spending, repudiating the national debt, and repealing the Federal Reserve Act. Since our debt consists of borrowing something that already belonged to us or which did not exist in the first place, I do not believe this would be immoral, but congress cannot take this action because America would be immediately plunged into a war that would destroy us. Further, congress does not WANT to take this action because the foxes are guarding the henhouse.
