Money Matters

Post image for Money Matters

God knows how much money is entrenched in the lives of human beings. In the Holy Bible there is more than 2,000 verses that reference money.

The bottom line is that money matters.

Let’s start a journey to explore the understanding of money:

3 Steps to Debt Elimination

Great! You want to eliminate debt. Well, the good news is that you can.Now, this may seem self-evident, but the reason your debt is out of control is that you keep adding to it. Therefore,Stop using credit.Don’t finance anything. Cut up your credit cards. Ouch...that last one can be tough. But don’t make excuses. I don’t care that other personal finance sites say that you shouldn’t cut them up. Destroy them. Stop rationalizing that you need Read more »

Inside Pieces of the Puzzle

Hopefully you took seriously TIP#1 ... skipping the first step will not set the grounding for the information that now follows. Throughout the items you read, there were some components that had the  Golden Key Unlocking the Puzzle Piece (picture left).  These are key building blocks. Understanding those keys creates the paradigm shift required. While we may see how simple it could be to undo the hold money changes have over us and our country, Read more »

The World Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF)

In Washington, the headquarters of both the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) face each other on the same street. What are these organisations, and who controls them? To find out we need to look back to just after WWI. At this point the money changers were attempting to consolidate the central banks under the guise of peacemaking. To stop future wars they put forward the formation of a world central bank named the Bank of International Read more »

World War II (1939-1945)

Most all will be aware of Adolf Hitler's rise to power. What you may not know is that he was almost completely financed by money drawn from the privately owned American Federal Reserve. In his book, Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler, Professor Antony Sutton,  provides a thoroughly documented account of the role played by Morgan, Rockefeller, General Electric Company, Standard Oil, National City Bank, Chase and Manhattan banks, Kuhn, Loeb and Company, Read more »

Fort Knox

In 1933, the new President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, signed a bill forcing all the American people, to hand over all their gold at base rate. With the exception of rare coins. He disowned himself from the bill claiming to not have read it and his secretary of the treasury claimed this was "what the experts wanted". Bought at bargain basement price with money produced from nothing by the Federal Reserve, the gold was melted down and stacked in the Read more »

The Great Depression

Stack in front of you the biographies of all the Wall Street giants, J.P. Morgan, Joe F. Kennedy, J.D Rockefeller, Bernard Baruch, and you'll find they all marvel at how they got out of the stock market and put their assets in gold just before the Stock Market Crash of 1929. On February 6, 1929, Mr. Montagu Norman, Governor of the Bank of England, came to Washington and had a conference with Andrew Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury. Immediately Read more »

World Domination attempted: The Roaring 20's

World War I concludes in 1918. With Russia taken care of,  the money changers now had control of every major national economy. Like a steam roller moving and a wolf gathering its pack, there was only one thing left to do and that was to go global. The first attempt was the proposal to set up the League of Nations at the Paris Peace Conference. The Paris Peace Conference was the meeting of the Allied victors following the end of World War I to Read more »

World War I

War uses up more materials more quickly than most anything else on earth. In war expensive equipment doesn't wear out slowly, it gets blown up! Where there is war, there is money to be made. For example, during the 119 year period from the founding of the Bank of England to Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, England had been at war for 56 years, while the rest of the time preparing for it. The Bank of England was well and truly entrenched... and Read more »

The way is opened to the Federal Reserve

In Washington, the statue of Lincoln sits in his chair and looks out toward a building called the Federal Reserve Headquarters. Interestingly, this institution would not be there if Lincoln's monetary policy had been adopted by the USA. The Federal Reserve is not Federal and it has doubtful reserves. The name is an open deception designed to give this private bank the appearance that it is operating in the public's interest, when in fact it is Read more »

J.P. Morgan and the Crash of 1907

If you want to work out the cause of the Crash of 1907, checking who benefited is where you might like to look first. The stock market slumped causing most of the over extended banks to falter. But in steps J.P. Morgan offering to save the day. People will do strange things when in a panic, and this might explain why Morgan was authorised to print $200 million from nothing. He then used the $200 Million to prop things up. Some of the troubled Read more »

Free Silver

Fleecing of the flock is the term the money changers use for the process of booms and depressions which make it possible for them to repossess property at a fraction of its worth. In 1891 a major fleece was being planned. "On Sept 1st, 1894, we will not renew our loans under any consideration. On Sept 1st we will demand our money. We will foreclose and become mortgagees in possession. We can take two-thirds of the farms west of the Mississippi, and Read more »

The Return of The Gold Standard

Let's explore the Gold Standard (1866 - 1881). "Right after the Civil War there was considerable talk about reviving Lincoln's brief experiment with the Constitutional monetary system. Had not the European money-trust intervened, it would have no doubt become an established institution." W.Cleon Skousen. Even after his death, the idea that America might print its own debt free money set off warning bells throughout the entire European banking community. Read more »

Abraham Lincoln and the American Civil War

Even though Andrew Jackson had killed off the Central Bank, fractional reserve banking moved like a virus through numerous state chartered banks instead. Fractional Banking continues to cause instability... and it thrives. Greed drives it on. When people lose their homes someone else wins them for a fraction of their worth. Depression is good news to the lender; but war causes even more debt and dependency than anything else. Therefore, if the Read more »

Andrew Jackson

When the American congress voted to renew the charter of The Second Bank of The United States, President Andrew Jackson (1767-1845) responded by using his veto vote to prevent the renewal bill from passing. His response gives us an interesting insight. "It is not our own citizens only who are to receive the bounty of our government. More than eight millions of the stock of this bank are held by foreigners... is there no danger to our liberty and Read more »

Napoleon is suspicious of Bankers

Napoleon Bonaparte (1761-1829) didn't trust the Bank of France, saying: "When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes... Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain." Napoleon Bonaparte, 1815 For both sides of a war to be loaned money from the same privately Read more »

First Bank of the United States

Hey! It worked once, it will work again. It's been six years. There are a lot of new hungry politicians. Let's give it a try. And so there it was, in 1791, the First Bank of the United States. Not only deceptively named to sound official, but also to take attention away from the real first bank, the Bank of North America, which had been shut down. True to its British model, the name of the investors were never revealed. Having gotten away with Read more »

Bank of North America

Robert Morris was born in Liverpool, England in 1734, the son of ironmonger Robert Morris, Sr. When the senior Morris emigrated to the colonies, he settled in Maryland and became a tobacco agent. Robert joined his father in Maryland in 1747 and was an apprentice in the Philadelphia mercantile house of Charles Willing. Here he quickly exhibited exceptional talent for commercial pursuits. In 1757 he became a partner in the firm of Willing and Morris Read more »

The American Revolution

By the mid 1700's Great Britain was at its height of power, but was also heavily in debt. Since the creation of the Bank of England, they had suffered four costly wars and the total debt now stood at £140,000,000, (which in those days was a lot of money). In order to make their interest payments to the bank, the British government set about a programme to try to raise revenues from their American colonies, largely through an extensive programme Read more »

Rothschilds

A goldsmith named Amshall Moses Bauer opened a counting house in Frankfurt Germany in 1743. The two-headed eagle emblem of the Byzantine Empire (Roman Empire) on a Red Shield was adopted by Bauer.  The shop became known as the “Red Shield firm”. The German word for ‘red shield’ is Rothschild. His son later changed his name to Rothschild when he inherited the business. Loaning money to individuals was all well and good but he Read more »

Tally Sticks

King Henry VIII, King of England, produced sticks of polished wood, with notches cut along one edge to signify the denominations. The stick was then split full length so each piece still had a record of the notches. The King kept one half for proof against counterfeiting, and then spent the other half into the market place where it would continue to circulate as money. Because only Tally Sticks were accepted by Henry for payment of taxes, there Read more »

1000-1100A.D. Medieval England

In Medieval England in 1000-1100A.D., we find goldsmith's offering to keep other people's gold and silver safe in their vaults. In return, people walked away with a receipt for what they have left there. These paper receipts soon became popular for trade as they were less heavy to carry around than gold and silver coins. After a while, the goldsmith's must have noticed that only a small percentage of their depositor's ever came in to demand their Read more »

33A.D. Jesus expresses His anger toward the money-changers

Jesus was so upset by the sight of the money changers in the temple, he waded in and started to tip over the tables and drive them out with a whip, this being the one and only time we ever hear of him using force during his entire ministry. Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves.  "It is written," he said to them, "'My Read more »

Money is amoral (not good or bad) until ...

Money and how it works is probably one of the most interesting things on earth. It is fascinating and mysterious how money appeared on earth. Most things we enjoy can be traced back to a particular inventor or civilisation. But interestingly money appeared in a similar way in civilisations all over the earth at times when these places were not connected in any way. For example, West Africa traded in decorative metallic objects called Manillas, Read more »

Money Crisis - puzzled? Discover the key to SURVIVE?

The question that sits at the back of our mind is, "How do I survive a financial crisis?" We dare not speak out but it sits heavy upon us. We watch as interest rates for housing rise, cost of living rises, petrol, basic foods, electricity bills, gas bills, rates, all going up so fast. And yet, wages stay dormant. We shudder when we see Wall Street go into a downward spiral and wait for the onslaught to our shares and superannuation.We regularly Read more »

Here's how Australia can survive the GFC?

The Commonwealth of Australia is a most unique country in the world. But how come it was so resilient during a Global Financial crisis? There are two simple reasons: our form of Parliament and a Government owned Central Bank Reserve. The Parliament of Australia was derived from the British, Canadian and American systems to form a uniquely Australian system. It is largely based on the British Westminster System, adopting many of its practices Read more »
