Usurocracy a perversion and subterfuge

http://yamaguchy.netfirms.com/7897401/pound_ezra/present.html

1. Wisdom is the affirmation of ends. Planned subterfuge is the dissemination of public ignorance and is wonderfully efficacious. And it is meticul;ously stage planned and has been so since the time of Aristotle and before.The perversion of justice cannot be stopped in perpetrating perfidious ends.
2. Purposeful obscurantism is always the backdrop behind the curtain, always the perennial whispers in world conspiracies.
3. The false gold standard.
4. the institution of a currency based on “work,” would have one great advantage : work cannot be monopolized. But all the artful dodges of accounting used by the usurers to manipulate the present forms of money would be attempted in the case of any new kind of money.
5. Basis of the fundamental fraud was the creation of the Bank of England in 1694.But the fundamental fraud is monopoly ! It is necessary to understand this. It is necessary to understand how it has been practiced from the year 1694, when the Bank “of England” was founded, until to-day.
6. The usurers' assault is well staged and camouflaged.The usurers’ assault was launched from London and Washington, united in operation. In 1863 the central office was in London, the branch in New York. To-day the position is reversed : the head-quarters across the Atlantic, and the branch in London. The role of France is known. Mussolini was condemned by the international usurocracy from the moment he discovered the connexion between the usurers in New York and their creatures in Moscow. This is all fairly well known throughout Italy. I have tried to piece together a little of the earlier state of affairs behind the scenes.
7. The Bolshevik Revolution betrayed.
8. Bolshevism is an enormous perversion, the destruction of property not capital creating scarcity and the necessity for ward bolstering ,to itrs delight, the usurocracy.Bolshevism proposed to destroy capital, but what it did was to destroy property—particularly peasant property. Stalin’s attack on capitalism in his Foundations of Leninism merits attention. He thoroughly understands the iniquity of the various Roosevelts, Churchills, Blums, and the rest of them. But Bolshevism stooped to the methods of economic warfare, flooding foreign markets with goods and foodstuffs at cut prices; and with the purchase of the Suez Canal shares it has now frankly embarked on a financial war. It is allied up to the hilt with liberalism, for the liberals always get around to talking of the export of manpower—of human beings, that is—in exchange for foodstuffs. Stalin disposes of “forty truckloads of human material” for work on a canal. The only difference is one of economic detail: the enormous perversion is common to each tentacle of the monster.
9. Its three central tenets: (1) Wars are made to create debts. (2) War is the highest form of sabotage, the most atrocious form of sabotage. (3) A nation that will not get itself into debt drives the usurers to fury.
10. Internment in the archives of condemnatory documents is the quiet hush of subterfuge.
11. The state can lend ,and this is now in evil disrepute as in the following quote.The state can lend. The fleet that was victorious at Salamis was built with money lent to the shipbuilders by the state. The practice of state-loans fell into evil repute because the emperors of the Roman decadence allowed money to be lent to unworthy borrowers who did not repay it.
12. The too familiar pattern of usury: but over periods of centuries or half-centuries : and always with the sole object—lucre. And always with the same mechanism, too, namely the creation of debts for the extortion of the interest, of monopolies so that they can keep all prices continually fluctuating, including the prices of the various monetary units, of the various national currencies.

17. The democratic system perished. From that time on it has been useless to speak of the United States as an autonomous entity. From what precise moment it became useless and absurd to speak of the British Empire as an autonomous entity still remains to be determined. It’s so much waste of time to speak of this or that “democracy.” The real government was, and is, to be found behind the scenes. The “democratic” system works as follows. Two or more parties, all under orders from the usurocracy, appear before the public. As a matter of form, and to reassure the simpletons, some honest men and one or two independent idealists are allowed to do a little clean work as long as they don’t touch the various rackets. The biggest rackets are those of finance and monopolization, including the monopolization of money itself, both within the nation and in combination with the various foreign currencies.

The danger of abundance Anatole France Penguin Island and the creation of commercial wars.When there is a danger of abundance of any, or almost all, commodities, then the usurocracy unleashes a war in order to diminish purchasing-power. Major Douglas had already by 1920 pointed out the fact of potential plenty. The Loeb Survey Report (Report of the National Survey of Potential Product Capacity, New York City Housing Authority, 1935) has demonstrated the accuracy of the Major’s statement. The danger of abundance causes the unleashing of war. Even before the previous war Anatole France, in L’lle des Pingouins, ironically informed his readers of the workings of “commercial” wars :

20. Our wars must, of necessity, increase in number as our industrial activity increases. When one of our industries fails to find an outlet for its products we must have a war to open up new markets. This year, in fact, we have had a coal war, a copper war, and a cotton war. In Third Zealand we have massacred two thirds of the natives to force the remainder to buy umbrellas and braces.” This book by “France” was immensely popular round about 1908, but the world failed to learn its lesson.

Conclusion
What ! finished already ? No doubt the reader expects
me to explain myself further. But I’m not so sure. I have, I think,
given the facts necessary for an understanding of the problem of war, of wars in
succession. I might go on explaining and heaping up additional facts for
six hundred pages or more.
In 1878 a member got up in Congress and expressed
the hope that he might keep some of the non-interest-bearing National debt in
circulation as currency.
One reader in five hundred will understand this
remark. And I am quite sure that the record of this capricious proposal
survives only in one contemporary newspaper clipping, apart from its interment
in the archives of the American Capitol.
The state can lend. The fleet
that was victorious at Salamis was built with money lent to the shipbuilders by
the state.
The practice of state-loans fell into evil repute because the
emperors of the Roman decadence allowed money to be lent to unworthy borrowers
who did not repay it.
Wisdom resides less in the means than in the
affirmation of ends. If there is the will to attain the end, the means
will be found. If the end is perfidious, no means can have in itself any
inherent virtue capable of preventing the perversion of justice.
Against
this, it may be observed that certain systems, and certain mechanisms of means,
have been purposely invented and set working in order to mislead the public, and
to keep them ignorant of the facts of history and of the best means of creating
and maintaining social justice. The ideological and propagandist battle
should be directed against the practice of this obscurantism.
In recent
centuries gold has been used by the bankers mainly as an instrument for creating
scarcity—a scarcity, in the first instance, of gold itself in a certain
locality, nation, or nations, strategically determinative.
For a long time
now the gold standard has not, in fact, existed. What has existed has been
a false-gold standard.
The abolition of a so-called “gold” currency, or of a
paper currency issued in a variable relationship to a real or supposed quantity
of gold, and the institution of a currency based on “work,” would have one great
advantage : work cannot be monopolized. But all the artful dodges of
accounting used by the usurers to manipulate the present forms of money would be
attempted in the case of any new kind of money.
In this respect the
conservatives who cry “No monkeying about with money!” are quite right.
But
the fundamental fraud is monopoly ! It is necessary to understand
this. It is necessary to understand how it has been practiced from the
year 1694, when the Bank “of England” was founded, until to-day.
It is
necessary to perceive that Napoleon and several other Heads of States have been
struggling against the same snares and pitfalls, the same trickery.
The
history of the last twenty-five years in Europe is unknown to the Italian
people, and especially to the authorities and economists of Italy and
Germany. A summary of the League of Nations infamy is contained in Odon
Por’s Politica economico-sociale in Italia. Anno XVII-XVIII.
The usurers’
assault was launched from London and Washington, united in operation. In
1863 the central office was in London, the branch in New York. To-day the
position is reversed : the head-quarters across the Atlantic, and the
branch in London. The role of France is known. Mussolini was
condemned by the international usurocracy from the moment he discovered the
connexion between the usurers in New York and their creatures in Moscow.
This is all fairly well known throughout Italy. I have tried to piece
together a little of the earlier state of affairs behind the scenes.
The
Bolshevik was a sham and, to a certain extent, a betrayed
revolution.
Bolshevism proposed to destroy capital, but what it did was to
destroy property—particularly peasant property. Stalin’s attack on
capitalism in his Foundations of Leninism merits attention. He thoroughly
understands the iniquity of the various Roosevelts, Churchills, Blums, and the
rest of them. But Bolshevism stooped to the methods of economic warfare,
flooding foreign markets with goods and foodstuffs at cut prices; and with
the purchase of the Suez Canal shares it has now frankly embarked on a financial
war. It is allied up to the hilt with liberalism, for the liberals always
get around to talking of the export of manpower—of human beings, that is—in
exchange for foodstuffs. Stalin disposes of “forty truckloads of human
material” for work on a canal. The only difference is one of economic
detail: the enormous perversion is common to each tentacle of the
monster.
(1) Wars are made to create debts.
(2) War is the highest form of
sabotage, the most atrocious form of sabotage.
(3) A nation that will not get
itself into debt drives the usurers to fury.
Postscriptum
The details of
the Italian and German opposition to the usurocratic conspiracy are
available. What has been lacking in Italy, especially among practical
people, among industrialists, large as well as small, among businessmen, and not
only small businessmen, is a comprehensive survey of the usurocratic mechanism,
an awareness of the relationships between commercial transactions, of the
relationship between the management of a factory or business and the
international monetary system, not on a short-term basis, at three-monthly or
three-yearly intervals, but over periods of centuries or half-centuries :
and always with the sole object—lucre. And always with the same mechanism,
too, namely the creation of debts for the extortion of the interest, of
monopolies so that they can keep all prices continually fluctuating, including
the prices of the various monetary units, of the various national
currencies.
The following are some of the sources at which the student may be
able to slake a little of the curiosity that I hope this pamphlet will have
stimulated.

My efforts during the last ten years, in so far
as the historical process and especially the monetary problem are concerned,
have been directed towards establishing a correlation between Fascist economics
and the economics of canon law (i.e., Catholic and medieval economics), on the
one hand, and, on the other, Major Douglas’s Social Credit proposals together
with those of Gesell, known as the “Natural Economic Order,” or sometimes as
“Freiwirtschaft.” With regard to this last, it should be noted that the
mechanism, more or less invented by Gesell, is separable from his more or less
political views; it could function just as well, that is, in a controlled
economic system, as under the regime of unrestricted commerce that Gesell
assumed.
NOTE : In all studies of economics and the historical process
we need a freshly determined and a freshly clarified terminology. Even a
writer like Obst, who is careful to define his words, has failed to establish a
complete terminology, and to make all the distinctions one would have
wished. A clearer distinction between a means of saving and a means of
exchange might throw some light on the various subjective obscurities of several
authors. Meanwhile I welcome with relief Fernando Ritter’s tendency to
speak of money not in “financial” or “economic” terms, but in terms of grain and
fertilizers.
Finale Enfatico
I hope the reader has not “understood it all
straight of.” I should like to invent some kind of typographical dodge
which would force every reader to stop and reflect for five minutes (or for five
hours), to go back to the facts mentioned and think over their significance for
himself. And I should like him to sum the facts up for himself, and to
draw his own conclusions.
In case I should have proved wanting in clarity of
expression, I repeat :
The meaning of the phrase “It will not do to allow the
greenback ... to circulate” is this : private individuals, without any
responsibility before the American nation, were able to get control of the
nation’s money, forcing the people to pay non-official fines and taxes for the
sole benefit of this hidden power, the usurocracy. After Lincoln’s death
the real power in the United States passed from the hands of the official
government into those of the Rothschilds and others of their evil combine.
The democratic system perished. From that time on it has been useless to
speak of the United States as an autonomous entity. From what precise
moment it became useless and absurd to speak of the British Empire as an
autonomous entity still remains to be determined.
It’s so much waste of time
to speak of this or that “democracy.” The real government was, and is, to
be found behind the scenes. The “democratic” system works as
follows. Two or more parties, all under orders from the usurocracy, appear
before the public. As a matter of form, and to reassure the simpletons,
some honest men and one or two independent idealists are allowed to do a little
clean work as long as they don’t touch the various rackets. The biggest
rackets are those of finance and monopolization, including the monopolization of
money itself, both within the nation and in combination with the various foreign
currencies.
When there is a danger of abundance of any, or almost all,
commodities, then the usurocracy unleashes a war in order to diminish
purchasing-power.
Major Douglas had already by 1920 pointed out the fact of
potential plenty. The Loeb Survey Report (Report of the National Survey of
Potential Product Capacity, New York City Housing Authority, 1935) has
demonstrated the accuracy of the Major’s statement.
The danger of abundance
causes the unleashing of war. Even before the previous war Anatole France,
in L’lle des Pingouins, ironically informed his readers of the workings of
“commercial” wars :
“Certainly,” replied the interpreter, “there are
industrial wars. Nations without commerce and industry have no reason to
go to war, but commercial nations are forced to adopt a policy of
conquest. Our wars must, of necessity, increase in number as our
industrial activity increases. When one of our industries fails to find an
outlet for its products we must have a war to open up new markets. This
year, in fact, we have had a coal war, a copper war, and a cotton war. In
Third Zealand we have massacred two thirds of the natives to force the remainder
to buy umbrellas and braces.”
This book by “France” was immensely popular
round about 1908, but the world failed to learn its lesson.
The history of
the United States cannot be given in sixteen pages. I have brought
together a few facts which have been overlooked in the weightier tomes, and
which the reader must know if he is not to remain in the dark and in ignorance
of the bellifacient process. Nevertheless, a history of the United States,
in summary form but adequate for the needs of all save specialists, could be
composed by putting together this pamphlet, W.E. Woodward’s New American
History, Overholser’s Short History of Money in the United States, and an
extract from Claude G. Bower’s Jefferson and Hamilton.
The reason for the
present publication, at this particular moment,[12]
is to indicate the incidence of the present war in the series of wars provoked
by the same never-dying agency, namely the world usurocracy, or the congregation
of High Finance : Roosevelt being in all this a kind of malignant tumour,
not autonomous, not self-created, but an unclean exponent of something less
circumscribed than his own evil personal existence; a magistrate with
legally limited jurisdiction, a perjurer, not fully aware of what he does, why
he does it, or where it leads to. His political life ought to be brought
sub judice.
