The Protocols of Satan, Part 37: The Menace of the Money Power

The Protocols of Satan, Part 37: The Menace of the Money Power

In our last presentation of these Protocols of Satan, we sought to present the most authoritative and earliest proofs of the connections between Judaism and Bolshevism, so we employed many citations from the earliest official American and British government reports on Bolshevism and the revolution in Russia in order to do so. Then, as part of this same endeavor, we presented a booklet titled Judaism and Bolshevism, a collection of three articles from a publication called the Catholic Gazette, which were compiled by a Mr. A. Homer and published in 1933, in order to further establish the asserted connections. There are many other sources, and several other early and authoritative publications, which we may have presented to further prove this assertion, however we felt that these were most sufficient for our purposes here.

Now we are going to present another booklet, this one published in 1946, which not only reasserts the connections of the Jews to Bolshevism, but also describes the Jewish bankers who were most active in its success, as well as their plans for putting all of the governments of the world under their economic yoke. All of this is a prelude necessary to understand the veracity and the fulfillment of that paragraph of Protocol No. 3 upon which we currently focus.

After boasting of the changing of education with the introduction of the so-called social sciences, and then after boasting of fomenting divisions and fostering hatred between the various economic classes, the very next portion of Protocol No. 3, from the text of Boris Brasol’s publication of The Protocols and World Revolution, makes the boast that:

This hatred will be still more accentuated by the economic crisis, which will stop financial transactions and all industrial life. Having organized a general economic crisis by all possible underhand means, and with the help of gold which is all in our hands, we will throw great crowds of workmen into the street, simultaneously, in all countries of Europe. These crowds will gladly shed the blood of those of whom they, in the simplicity of their ignorance, have been jealous since childhood and whose property they will then be able to loot.

They will not harm our people because we will know of the time of the attack and we will take measures to protect them. We have persuaded others that progress will lead the GOYS into a realm of reason. Our despotism will be of such a nature that it will be in a position to pacify all revolts by wise restrictions and to eliminate liberalism from all institutions.

The Jews created Liberalism as a tool to overthrow Feudalism and the nobility, and now they would eliminate Liberalism in favor of their own tyranny, which is why the Bill of Rights and Constitution of the United States has been gradually eroded over the last 150 years. The Protocols were first published publicly in the Russian magazine Snamja in 1903, and then more popularly by Sergei Nilus in 1905, and we can clearly and readily witness Jews in Russia implementing their agenda under the guise of Communism only 12 years later, in 1917. Therefore, with that alone, anyone who doubts that the Protocols are indeed the plan of World Jewry must be a shill for the Jews. Now we shall begin to see how, by their control of nations through their planned central banking system, the same Jews, even “capitalist” Jews, hoped to extend the Bolshevik principles throughout the rest of the world, only with much more subtlety.

So for that endeavor, here is:

THE MENACE OF THE MONEY-POWER

An Analysis of World Government by Finance

BY A. K. CHESTERTON, JUNE, 1946

YEOMAN PRESS, 5, CHRlSTMAS STEPS, BRISTOL, 1

Before we begin, we must say that Arthur Kenneth Chesterton was an Englishman born in South Africa in 1899, and a member of the British Union of Fascists from 1933 to 1938. He was a journalist in both South Africa and in England who was at first opposed to Fascism, and then after spending some time debating Fascists during the Depression he was compelled to join them. After 1939 he was associated with the Right Club, which sought to consolidate various right-wing organizations into a united front. The founder of the Right Club was British Army officer Captain Archibald H. Ramsay, author of The Nameless War. Later he was a founder of a group called The League of Empire Loyalists, and from 1967 until his death in 1973, Chesterton was a member of the National Front.

These things are important to note because there is an entire caste of people in Social Media and elsewhere on the Internet today, who think that the awakening and resistance to Jewish treachery in their quest for world supremacy just started with them, or with 911, or with the Middle East question. Nothing could be further from reality. In every generation there have been men who have tried to sound a trumpet and awaken White Christians to Jewish lies and treachery. Today, most of them are virtually unknown, but all of us who are awake to what is really going on in the world owe men such as these recognition and a debt of gratitude.

Here is the preface to The Menace of the Money Power, which was written by Chesterton himself:

PREFACE

The final deductions in this treatise, and in particular the relating of the Final Act of Bretton Woods to the financial policy which led to the foundation and perversion of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board, are the author's own, for which he must not fasten any responsibility upon his authorities. Those readers, however, who wish to check the facts from which the deductions are made may be recommended to the following works: “All These Things” and “The Truths About The Slump," by A. N. Field; “The Bankers' Conspiracy” and “A Fraudulent Standard,” by Arthur Kitson; “Analysis of Usury” and “The Modern Idolatry” by Jeffrey Mark; “The Mystical Body of Christ and the Reorganisation of Society,” by Father Denis Fahey; “Money Illusion,” by Professor Irving Fisher; “The Two Nations” and “The Breakdown of Money,” by Christopher Hollis; “Post-War Monetary Stabilisation,” by Professor Gustav Cassel; “America Conquers Britain,” by Ludwell Denny; “The Brief for the Prosecution,” by Major C. H. Douglas; and the volume is of Hansard covering the debate on the Loan Agreement. Another book, “The Economics of Human Happiness,” by W. Collin Brooks, although it draws none of the conclusions here set down, and indeed draws some which are at variance with them, is nevertheless well worth reading because of the wonderful lucidity with which its author deals with perversions of the monetary system.

Many of the books listed in this Preface are still available in electronic format on the Internet, and a few are even still in print. Some of these writers are academics, and others, such as the Australian Arthur Nelson Field, were also journalists who saw the Jewish conspiracy and sought monetary reform within the Empire. They were not all of the same creed, however. Irving Fisher was born into an Protestant American family but was an avowed atheist and Yale professor of political economy. Dennis Fahey was an Irish Catholic priest who wrote in anticipation of the ultimate conversion of the Jews. He evidently was not aware that Christ had promised only that the Jews would ultimately be converted to ashes, and not to Christianity, but that is no surprise since Catholics very rarely ever study Scripture. Now we shall commence with:

THE MENACE OF THE MONEY-POWER

Money can only be understood in terms of power. In the hands of the consumer it is power over goods. In the hands of the creative capitalist it is power over the means to produce goods. In the hands of the finance-capitalist, or money-lender, it is not only power over producers and consumers, but power as well over nations and their governments.

This is certainly true. I have always opined that to the Christian, money was power to establish businesses or to develop communities, whereas to the Jew, money was power to control businesses and dominate communities, usually through stock share leveraging and usury. So often I have come to the same conclusion in a different manner, expressed in a slightly different manner. Continuing with Chesterton:

The technique of money-lending on its simplest level is to make an advance against security, draw interest, and at an agreed date receive back the capital sum – other things being equal, a perfectly honest transaction. If the more ambitious money-lenders kept to this even routine; however, they would be a very long time attaining power. What they desire, therefore, is that the money they lend shall either be repaid to them when its buying power has been greatly enhanced, or that it shall not be repaid at all, thus enabling them to foreclose on their mortgages and become possessed of their victim's capital assets. These two motifs have long determined the course of economic history, explaining slump and boom, and enabling a small band of international lenders and manipulators to become the virtual masters of the world. The method was explained, with almost incredible candour, in an article which appeared in The U.S.A. Bankers' Magazine* on August 26th, 1934 :

“Bonds and mortgages must be foreclosed as rapidly as possible. When through a process of the law the common people lose their homes they will become more docile and more easily governed through the strong arm of government applied by a central power of wealth under the control of leading financiers. This truth is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of capital to govern the world. By dividing voters by the political party system we can get them to expend their energies in fighting over questions of no importance. Thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves what has been so well planned.”

[Here our author adds a footnote which says:] * Doubt has since been cast on the authenticity of this quotation, but that it is in any case an authentic explanation of the aims and methods employed admits of no doubt.

Before investigating how this amiable programme has been, and is being, fulfilled, one popular fallacy should at once be exploded – the fallacy that this “imperialism of capital” has been set up in the teeth of Left-Wing opposition. The contrary is true. Revolution throughout has been the friend and ally of finance-capitalism. Whether or not the French Revolution increased the sum of human liberty, equality and fraternity offers a subject for debate, but there can scarcely be any debate about its one concrete fact, which was the sweeping away of the Monarchial State and the founding in place thereof of the Bankers' State. The Revolution of 1848 brought precious little happiness to ordinary human beings, but out of it arose the central banking system of Germany, which reached its apotheosis under the Weimar Republic, when financiers achieved more absolute power than they had ever before enjoyed. The Russian Revolution, which furnishes a complete picture of the inter-relation between international capitalism and socialism, will be considered later. Some account must first be given of the way finance works.

This is an excellent assessment, that as the old thrones of the nobility were being torn down in 19th century Europe, and replaced with parliamentary democracies, the erection of new thrones supported by gold, gold which was acquired through usury, never seems to have been challenged by any political segment. It cannot be that it was simply taken for granted by all of them that such democracies and usury-based economies were natural. It can only be that the social societies of the times, which were to a great extent the secret societies, were under the control of the same class of individuals who sought to replace the nobility in the first place. That is the group which produced the Protocols. Our author continues:

If a group of men in any country wishes to secure financial control over that country's destinies, the most obvious initial step is to gain control of the issue of currency. This involves two cardinal principles – a single, controllable currency basis, such as gold, and a monopoly of the right to circulate notes and otherwise issue credit on that foundation. The banking history of the United States shows how the manipulators went to work to attain these objectives. Their weapon in every case was a deliberately engineered Stock Exchange panic, bringing ruin upon thousands of honest producers. In 1890 there was in America a monetary stringency, to counteract which the Government three years later introduced the Sherman Silver Purchase Act, providing the means, by Government purchases of silver, of preventing currency contraction. The financiers moved swiftly into battle. This threat to gold, their chosen medium, could not be tolerated. The American Banking Association circulated to members instructions to sabotage the Government's plan :–

“Silver, silver certificates and treasury notes must be retired,” ran its fiat, “and national bank notes upon a gold basis made the only money. This will require the authorisation of 500 millions to 1,000 millions of new bonds as the basis of circulation. You will at once retire one-third of your circulation and call in one half of your loans. Be careful to make a monetary stringency among your patrons, especially among influential business men. Advocate an extra session of Congress to repeal the purchasing clause of the Sherman Law.”

[Now Chesterton adds another note:] Fifty years later this circular was declared to be a forgery, but nobody challenged it when Mr. Chas. A. Lindbergh brought it to the notice of the House of Representatives in 1913. In any case, it describes precisely what did happen.

This Lindbergh was, of course, the father of the famous aviator and prominent member and spokesperson of the America First Committee. The senior Lindbergh was a Congressman from Minnesota for nearly a dozen years, from 1906 to 1917.

There was also a famous law called the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. Both acts were passed into law in 1890, and both were named for Senator John Sherman from Ohio, who was a chairman of the Senate finance committee, and later served as the Secretary of the Treasury under President Rutherford B. Hayes. One can read in the Wikipedia article for the Silver Purchase Act that “After the Panic of 1893 broke, President Grover Cleveland oversaw the repeal of the act to prevent the depletion of the government's gold reserves.” Our author ascribes other, more factual reasons. Continuing with Chesterton:

Even at that time finance enjoyed a measure of international power, for India was brought in to help the campaign, which she did by stopping the minting of silver. This, in conjunction with the panic deliberately induced by the New York bankers, caused the closing-down of silver mines, the shutting of factories, the crashing of banks, widespread ruin – and, of course, the repeal of the offending Act. Gold henceforward was to be the sole basis of currency, as the bankers had planned.

While crashes of this diabolical kind had often, as here, a political motive, it is to be noted that those at the heart of the conspiracy invariably managed to turn the chaos to their own immense financial advantage. One direct result of the 1893 panic was the transference of the Union Pacific Railroad into the hands of Jacob Schiff, head of the banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb and Company – today the monarchs of international finance. A few years later, moreover, Schiff managed to bring the mighty Great Northern Pacific Railway crashing to the ground, and from the ensuing panic his firm emerged as the complete masters of American railway finance: through Northern Securities Company it controlled £264,200,000 worth of stock and became an acknowledged member of the Money Trust which dominated the entire field of American Capitalism.

Jacob Schiff was now to be joined in Kuhn, Loeb and Company by Paul Warburg, scion of one of the great German banking families, and together they moved forward to the attainment of the second objective – control of all currency through a central banking system. In 1907 there was another great crisis when the Knickerbocker Trust failed, not because of any general panic action by the ordinary investor, but because manipulators of the millionaire class willfully created a run on the banks. From this debacle they emerged incomparably more powerful, having bought up the stock of the ruined victims, which they held to re-sell at par. At the same time the Steel Trust was able to complete its absolute monopoly. It may or may not have been a coincidence that Solomon Loeb, of Kuhn, Loeb and Company, was a member of Knickerbocker Trust. At any rate, the attainment of a central banking system was brought very much nearer to fulfilment – that consummation so devoutly wished by Kuhn, Loeb and Company.

Kuhn Loeb and Company remained prominent in the investment banking business until 1977 when it merged with competing firm Lehman Brothers, and then the resulting company was acquired by American Express in 1984. After acquiring other investment brokers, including E. F. Hutton, in 2008, the investment businesses of American Express were separated, or “spun off”, as they say, into Lehman Brothers Holdings. That company promptly went bankrupt and was liquidated, under financial duress caused by the sub-prime mortgage crisis of that same year. In the subsequent court settlements, the company has paid out $105 billion dollars, and other banks have made payments stemming from dishonest asset transfers in the last days of the business’ operations. Again continuing with Chesterton:

Appalled at the ducks and drakes which were being played with the money-system, many genuine idealists in the United States – chief among them Woodrow Wilson and William Jennings Bryan, that doughty foe of the Money-Power – determined upon large-scale reforms to create order in place of the prevailing brigandage. And it so happened that there was a gentleman at hand only too happy to help them. His name was Mr. Paul Warburg! What did they want? To secure stability in the price level? Why, Mr. Warburg had the precise specific up his sleeve – a Federal Reserve System which would hold reserves centrally and despatch supplies of credit at once to any necessitous bank in the system that might call for them.

William Jennings Bryan was a populist and a proponent of silver. We may tell more of his story elsewhere in these presentations of the Protocols. Back to Chesterton:

His plan, in most essentials, was the one adopted, and on December 20th, 1913, Mr. Carter Glass, sincerely denouncing the old laissez-faire order, secured the passage through the House of Representatives of the Federal Reserve Act, the vital clause of which, when the Bill was introduced, was a provision for the fixing of the discount rate to promote stability in the price level. How ironical was it, therefore, that when the Bill emerged these words “to promote stability in the price level” were surreptitiously dropped! At subsequent investigations officials of the Federal Reserve Board even denied that such had ever been its function. Two years later, Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, our Ambassador to the United States, placed on record the fact that the group of financiers associated with Kuhn, Loeb and Company had become supreme in America, and that Paul Warburg was the Federal Reserve Board! William Jennings Bryan lived long enough to stand aghast at the horrified thought of what his name, in all innocence, had helped to bring into being, but no such shame cast a shadow on the happiness of Warburg and his friends, who now had exclusive power of note issue to the reserve banks, as well as power to fix the discount rate, which meant, of course, power to determine the amount of money in existence. They had conquered America: they were now ready to conquer the world.

It has been suggested that revolution is a good friend to the finance-capitalists, but they have an even better friend – war. War makes them the dictators of mankind. How lucky for them that, the year following the setting up of the Federal Reserve Board, a war should duly have arrived to complete their happiness! War has several advantages. It places the nations engaged therein in urgent need of credits, which the financiers can bestow on their own terms. It unsettles things, making it easier to change the masters of a people. And in this particular war it seemed likely that many kings would lose their thrones – a pleasurable thought for those who opposed to the Monarchial State the larger beatitude of the Bankers' State. In particular, and for motives which need not be investigated in this strictly non-racial treatise, the Kuhn, Loeb bankers had their eye on one monarch whose head above all others they wished to see rolled in the sand – the head of the Czar of all the Russias. That is one reason why, in 1914, they were so ardently pro-German and so hostile to Britain. The Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 changed all that. Simple people imagine that the Russian Revolution was a protest against just such a system of wicked financial manipulation as I have described. What would be their surprise if they knew that the Bolsheviks were directly subsidized by – can they guess ? – Messrs. Schiff, Paul Warburg, Max Warburg and the entire Kuhn, Loeb and Company outfit! The first war objective, therefore, was gained when Imperial Russia fell. There was no longer the same reason for hating Britain, especially as Britain had done that which arouses love in the hearts of all true money-lenders – got hopelessly and inextricably into their debt. The late Lord Reading negotiated with the United States a loan of £1,000,000,000 which that optimistic gentleman promised that we should repay on demand – and in gold! Thereafter there was no need for the Schiffs and the Warburgs to worry about Britain: we were safely in the bag. And if the war ended with the defeat of Germany and Austria – well, that would be at least two more crowned heads out of the way of a bankers' world state. America duly entered the war on our side!

Adolf Hitler had a thorough understanding of the relationship between the capitalist Jewish bankers of the West and the Marxists. He also attributed to Jewish Marxists in Germany the loss of the First World War, where he said in Volume 1, Chapter 12 of Mein Kampf the following, comparing the “lamentably supine” bourgeoisie of Germany to the hostile Marxists:

It is quite different with the masses of our population, who are imbued with ideas of internationalism. Through the primitive roughness of their natures they are disposed to accept the preaching of violence, while at the same time their Jewish leaders are more brutal and ruthless. They will crush any attempt at a German revival, just as they smashed the German Army by striking at it from the rear. Above all, these organized masses will use their numerical majority in this Parliamentarian State not only to hinder any national foreign policy, but also to prevent Germany from restoring her political power and therewith her prestige abroad. Thus she becomes excluded from the ranks of desirable allies. For it is not we ourselves alone who are aware of the handicap that results from the existence of fifteen million Marxists, democrats, pacifists and followers of the Centre, in our midst, but foreign nations also recognize this internal burden which we have to bear and take it into their calculations when estimating the value of a possible alliance with us. Nobody would wish to form an alliance with a State where the active portion of the population is at least passively opposed to any resolute foreign policy.

Again continuing with Chesterton:

First fruits of the great victory, for the Wall Street financiers, was the extension of their power to Britain and the Dominions, forcing us to surrender our command of the seas, to break our alliance with Japan, and, in a very short time, to return to the gold-standard, after which their associated concerns, such as General Electric, began to acquire our capital assets. They penetrated into every part of Europe and Africa. In China they became supreme in the international financial consortium which was formed to exploit that country. They were active in India. They conquered all South America except the Argentine. And in the United States itself they went from strength to strength by using the mechanism of the Federal Reserve Board for purposes diametrically the opposite from that for which it had supposedly been formed: that is, instead of forwarding supplies of credit when necessary to avoid a panic, they used the opportunity again and again to cut off credit supplies altogether. By such means, in the early twenties, they encouraged the farmers under boom conditions to borrow and expand their enterprises, and then promptly called in the loans, delivering thousands into bankruptcy. Precisely the same technique caused the panic of 1929 which led to the great crash of 1931. Orthodox economists attribute this later disaster to the failure of the Creditanstalt in Vienna, arguing that it set in motion the whole succession of breakdowns which followed throughout the world. That, however, is a very incomplete picture of the actual situation. Mr. Louis T. McFadden, Chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Banking and Currency Committee, referring to the New York Stock Exchange collapse which began the American end of the slump, declared: “It was not accidental. It was a carefully contrived occurrence … the international bankers sought to bring about a condition of despair here so that they might emerge as the rulers of us all.” Nothing could be less equivocal than that. What cannot be denied is that in 1928 the Federal Reserve Board was feverishly expanding credit to create a boom, and next year as feverishly restricting credit to create a slump.

In Part 18 of these Protocols of Satan, which was subtitled Protocol No. 2 and the Economic Plans of the Jew, we spent a great deal of time presenting documentation from A. Ralph Epperson and other sources that the market crash of 1929, and the resulting Depression of the 1930’s, was purposely created by the banks, which expanded the supply of credit gradually over several years, and then suddenly contracted the money supply so that no loans could be repaid. This resulted in a great transfer of wealth from individuals and corporations into the hands of the banks, putting many millions of people out of work, even out of their homes. We may revisit this subject soon, as it is boasted of here in Protocol No. 3 that the authors were planning an economic crisis, and that they would “throw great crowds of workmen into the street, simultaneously, in all countries of Europe.” Of course, these words describe the Great Depression which did those things precisely.

Separately, we had discussed Louis McFadden and his famous speech on the Federal Reserve, given in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1932, in a set of three podcasts here in 2012. While McFadden did not mention Jews in that speech, he did mention them two years later, when in June of 1934 he put the following words into the Congressional Record:

"I hope that is the case, but I may say to the gentleman that during the sessions of this Economic Conference in London there is another meeting taking place in London. We were advised by reports from London last Sunday of the arrival of George L. Harrison, Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and we were advised that accompanying him was Mr. Crane, the Deputy Governor, and James P. Warburg, of the Kuhn- Loeb banking family, of New York and Hamburg, Germany, and also Mr. O. M. W. Sprague, recently in the pay of Great Britain as chief economic and financial adviser of Mr. Norman, Governor of the Bank Of England, and now supposed to represent our Treasury.

These men landed in England and rushed to the Bank of England for private conference, taking their luggage with them, before even going to their hotel. We know this conference has been taking place for the past 3 days behind closed doors in the Bank of England with these gentlemen meeting with heads of the Bank of England and the Bank for International Settlements, of Basel, Switzerland, and the head of the Bank France, Mr. Maret. They are discussing war debts; they are discussing stabilization of exchanges and the Federal Reserve System, I may say to the Members of the House.

The Federal reserve System, headed by George L. Harrison, is our premier, who is dealing with debts behind the closed doors of the Bank of England; and the United States Treasury is there, represented by O. M. W. Sprague, who until the last 10 days was the representative of the Bank of England, and by Mr. James P. Warburg, who is the son of the principal author of the federal Reserve Act. Many things are being settled behind the closed doors of the Bank of England by this group.

No doubt this group were pleased to hear that yesterday the Congress passed amendments to the Federal Reserve Act and that the President signed the bill which turns over to the Federal Reserve System the complete total financial resources of money and credit in the United States. Apparently the domination and control of the international banking group is being strengthened....

We are being led by the international Jews operating through Great Britain and the Bank of England, and it is the purpose of those who are directing and cooperating that debts be reduced to 10 percent or canceled entirely....

Then there is James P. Warburg, who was called in by the President and who has sat in on all of the conferences here in Washington participated in by the foreign representatives recently, and he is the financial adviser at the Economic Conference and at the conferences in the Bank of England to which I have referred. Mr. Warburg, you undoubtedly know, is the head of the international Jewish financial group who were largely responsible for the loaning abroad of the vast billions of dollars by the people of the United States and which loans are now frozen.

We must not overlook the fact, however, that J. P. Morgan & Co. were close seconds in these transactions, and in connection with this I wish to point out that George L. Harrison, Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, is closely identified with the Morgan House in all of the undertakings internationally in which the Federal Reserve banks participated. (CR-6-14-1934)

Here it should be evident that there was indeed a collusion of these International Jews to manipulate the credits and currencies of the nations in secret, and that Congress was indeed informed of that collusion, but did nothing to stop it. Instead, they helped to advance it further. Now to continue with Chesterton:

Major C. H. Douglas, in his brilliantly penetrating book, “The Brief for the Prosecution,” asserts that the motive of the financiers was to crush the many industrialists who, because of prosperous times, had begun to “muscle-in” on the money-lending racket. This is not to argue, of course, that the crisis in the German banking system did not deepen and broaden the slump: the defaulting on reparations in 1931 led directly to the London crash. But even here a decisive part had been played by the Wall Street manipulators. Throughout the evil Weimar regime in Germany, the American group, in collaboration with their associates in Germany, had been conducting a colossal fraud at the expense of the American people. Worthless German script and much of very little worth were freely accepted, largely through the instrumentality of Paul Warburg, as security for towering cash advances – computed by Mr. McFadden as over 30,000,000,000 dollars beyond the value of all the German bonds – and these advances were poured into Germany (some, through Germany into “anti-capitalist” Russia) to make for international usury the most joyous gala period of its long and unsavoury history. The game could not last: what is more, its perpetrators knew that it could not last, and had persuaded President Hoover in 1931 to stand by with a moratorium to tide their friends in Germany over the worst of their difficulties. Mr. McFadden, speaking of the moratorium, said: “If the German international financiers of Wall Street had not had this job waiting to be done, Herbert Hoover would never have been elected President of the United States.” Describing the agency by which the business had been engineered, he told Congress: “We have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and Federal Reserve Banks. This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of the United States.… They have been peddling the credit of this Government and the signature of this Government to the swindlers and speculators of all nations. This is what happens when a country forsakes its constitution and gives its sovereignty over public currency to private interests. Give them the flag and they will sell it.”

Of course, the “German international financiers” to which McFadden referred had to be the Warburgs, and they were not German – they were Jews. These were among the countless dishonest transactions which the Jewish bankers got away with in order to defraud the nations and peoples of the West, and they used the illicit gains to help shape the modern world to their liking – that is the world which we live in today. Returning to our author:

This time, however, the Federal Reserve Board group had overreached itself. Although the result of the world-wide crashes had been to strengthen the power of the big combines everywhere, and greatly to increase bank holdings of industrial stock, the slump nevertheless went too far; much further than it was intended to go.

This we can dispute, as it seems to apologize for the perpetrators who all along had wanted to fulfill the objectives of the Protocols. While Chesterton does well, he seems to be oblivious as to the extent of the Satanic Jewish nature. He continues:

Two signal events proclaimed this fact. First, Great Britain, in a desperate attempt to extricate herself, was forced off gold (as were thirty-four other nations !) and obliged to insulate her economy within a sterling area and a system of Imperial Preference. Repeated attempts have been made by the dollar-manipulators to crash the sterling area: only now are they about to succeed [1946 - WRF]. To this mild but not incompetent British insurrection was added a much more terrifying phenomenon. Out of a Germany devastated by the Money-Power arose – Adolf Hitler. Hitler's revolt was not mild. It challenged the entire concept of international lending and established as the basis of trade the mutual exchange of goods, without recourse to the usurers.

This is one reason why Hitler is really hated to this day, demonized and constantly lied about so that nobody of import actually looks into what he did to free Germany from the grips of the international Jews. Today it is considered absurd in most circles to even think of any other possible economic system other than the current enslavement to the central banking system. Chesterton continues:

There had been pioneers before Hitler. Kemal Ataturk had carried through the reconstruction of Turkey without borrowing a penny from abroad. Mussolini had safeguarded Italian currency against foreign speculators and striven as far as possible to build up for his people a self-contained economy. He was to have successors in Spain and Portugal. After the emergence of Hitler, however, it became clear that the international financial system was in mortal danger and that only by another war could it ever regain control over its vast empire – the empire built and maintained by debt. As it happened, Hitler was only too happy to oblige, and war came. War would have come in any case. As Joseph Stalin has put on record: “It would be incorrect to think that the war arose accidentally or as the result of the fault of some of the statesmen. Although those faults did exist, the war arose in reality as the inevitable result of the development of the world economic and political forces on the basis of monopoly capitalism.”

Hitler would not play along with Jewish monopoly capitalism, he broke Germany free of it, and therefore according to Stalin, war was inevitable. America and Britain were willing dupes for world Jewry. However the author, writing in 1946, seems to have been oblivious to the evil which was later attributed to Hitler and the “Nazis”, and the way that they would later be demonized. He continues:

The master-financiers of America, and their associates elsewhere, breathed again: now they would be able, not only to retrieve all the ground they had lost, but, by careful planning, to ensure that such rebellions never again occurred, or – if they did occur – that they should be put down by international armed force. As in 1913, they had grafted their wicked designs upon President Wilson's idealism to secure their precious central banking system, so in 1919 they had done precisely the same thing to secure that “hope of all the ages,” the League of Nations. One of the first actions of the League was to recommend all member states to return to the gold-standard, which leaves little room for doubt, even if no other evidence were available, that it was from the beginning the kept creature of the Money-Power. Geneva, however, was a sad disappointment to its promoters. When the opportunity came to coerce the rebel nations, “not a ship, not a gun,” was available for the job. Next time the chosen instrument should have “teeth” to enforce the Wall Street writ. This was decided long before the war came to an end – at Dumbarton Oaks. The war was to fulfil everything else that had been expected of it. The first rebel to be brought to heel was Great Britain, whose foreign assets were taken over by New York almost en bloc, and who was for the most part forbidden to export, so that her foreign markets might be captured by the United States. Thereafter, as we shall see presently, much more ambitious plans were prepared to ensure her complete subjection to Wall Street. The last rebel to be vanquished – for in this sense Japan did not come within the rebel class – was Germany. Germany's fate does not need to be described: the one consoling feature of her plight is that she brought it upon herself by virtue of her warrior-dream, which the masters of the world were able so relentlessly to use against her for her own destruction. Britain restored to the comity of international finance, all rebels on the other side shattered, an international organisation, with “teeth,” formed to keep the Money-Lenders' Peace – these be rich gains for Wall Street, but they are not the only gains.

To us, it seems that Germany’s only other option was to remain supine and continue to be raped by the international bankers and the conditions of the Versailles treaty. It is better for men to die fighting than lying down. Chesterton continues:

We have seen how Paul Warburg managed to foist his idea of a central banking system on Woodrow Wilson and other sincere reformers. He represented it as a device for securing stability in the price level, but as soon as it was set up he used it to maintain instability of prices, a condition essential for the practise of large-scale usury. Within two years, as our Ambassador in Washington reported, he and his friends had become the financial masters of America. If it were possible to go further, and establish the same device on an international scale, would it not enable the world's strongest national reserve banking system to control its activities, so that the controllers of the national system could become the financial masters of the whole world?

This is why America has become the enforcer of the system, finding a political pretense and militarily attacking every nation that won’t opt into being enslaved by it. Continuing with Chesterton:

The successors of Schiff and Warburg on the Federal Reserve Board evidently asked themselves this question and answered with an emphatic “Yes.” While the Second World War had still a long way to go to its determined end, “experts” suddenly began, both here and in America, to prepare plans for a “sound” monetary policy after it was over. Then came a gathering at a sylvan spot called Bretton Woods. By this time the reader will scarcely require to be told that its avowed object was to secure stability in the price level! There was one other similarity to the campaign for the passing of the Federal Reserve Act. This Act was preceded by the Aldrich Bill, a more extreme measure which failed to get through the House of Representatives. So was the Final Act of Bretton Woods preceded by the more drastic White Plan. It would almost seem in each case that the extreme measure was put first, to make the succeeding compromise seem the more gracious.

This also seemed to be the method of operation in the aftermath of the Second World War, when the grievous Morgenthau Plan for Germany was supported by Roosevelt, but stalled and eventually scrapped in favor of kinder and gentler the Marshall Plan. Chesterton continues:

However that might be, the Final Act of Bretton Woods was duly presented to the nations for approval. Lord Keynes arrived back in this country to commend it with great eagerness. It would, he assured us, secure stability of prices. The mechanism which it proposed to set up would conduct funds lying idle to irrigate the currency of any necessitous area which might need them. In precisely this kind of language did Woodrow Wilson commend the Federal Reserve Board system. We know now that the Federal Reserve system, instead of doing what Wilson had intended, often deliberately withheld credit where it was needed in order to create a panic. We know, too, that it enabled the strongest group within its complex of interests to gain control of its policy and of the economic policies of the American nation. Few things are more astonishing in economic history than the apparent failure of the late Lord Keynes to lay the moral to his heart.

The first objective of Bretton Woods is, of course, the linking of all currencies to gold. When sterling is fixed in terms of gold it will not be allowed to fluctuate above one per cent. There will be an obligation to buy and sell gold at a fixed buying and selling price. Member nations, moreover, will be obliged to include gold, in a given ratio, in their quotas to the International Monetary Fund, as well as in their contributions to the International Bank – the lodging of security against loans that have still to be advanced! The New York bankers have thus won on a world-scale the battle which they won on a national scale in 1893: Henceforward gold is to be the measure of things. And they control the gold!

People today still await the introduction of a world currency. The truth is that for many decades now the dollar has been used as a de facto world currency. However there is another currency, traded by banks and nations, which is the true world currency. The International Monetary Unit which is also referred to as Special Drawing Rights, are the currency units that the International Monetary Fund issues. But while Bretton Woods was established first in 1944, the Special Drawing Rights form of currency was not devised until 1969, when the world was being taken off of the so-called Gold Standard, whereas our author wrote this booklet in 1946. Continuing:

Potentially even more catastrophic is the provision that nations will be unable, without the express consent of the Lords of Gold, to devalue their currencies above ten per cent. The seriousness of this enactment can only be understood by recalling that when, in 1931, it was vital for Britain to sever the link which bound her to the evil New York system, she found it necessary to devalue up to 27 per cent. Wall Street is determined that such a thing shall not be allowed to happen again. Should Britain or any other hard-pressed country attempt an unauthorized devaluation the international bankers will possess means of securing immediate redress. What means? The answer takes one's breath away by virtue of its truly monumental impudence. Power has been vested in gentlemen of the kidney of the late Paul Warburg to declare the defaulter an outlaw among nations. They can order member States not to trade with her, and so starve her people into submission. If Britain were to default, her own Dominions, on pain of dire penalties, would be required to employ economic sanctions against her: similarly if a Dominion defaulted the Mother Country would be called upon – as Truth forcefully pointed out-to “repay the blood-loyalty and sacrifices of two wars by declaring an economic war on that Dominion.” Could anything be more intolerable?

Some may draw comfort from the fact that Britain will be represented among the official controllers of the International Monetary Fund. Everyone of the appointments of senior officials to the Federal Reserve Board was made by President Wilson, but that fact did not prevent it becoming the chosen weapon of Kuhn, Loeb and Company and their affiliated interests. So will it be with the new Fund. No power at present on earth (not even Dr. Dalton !) will be able to stop it carrying out the policy of the same group, again through the instrumentality of the Federal Reserve Board's overwhelming financial leverage. By passing the Bretton Woods Bill, which it did without debate and in a hurried two hours, the British Labour majority made Great Britain a party to the creation of a World Bankers’ State, armed with powers beyond anything hitherto enjoyed by men. Simultaneously it made Britain a party to her own ultimate destruction.

The reference to “Dr. Dalton” is to Edward Hugh Dalton, or Baron Dalton, a British Labour Party economist and politician who served as Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1945 to 1947. He was influential in the development of Labour Party foreign policy in the 1930s, and he was a hawk for promoting preparations for war against Germany. Chesterton, the Briton, cannot conceal his patriotism even if he did not condemn or outright despise the National Socialists. So he continues:

Comprehensive almost beyond belief as is the Bretton Woods enactment, it was still not considered sufficiently specific in its detail to guarantee the money-lenders against the continuance of British sovereignty, which after the defeat of Imperial Germany and of Tsarist Russia was given first priority for liquidation. When Paul Warburg announced after the first World War that other debtor countries might hope for leniency, he made the categorical assertion that Britain would be treated as a “case apart,” and so, indeed, she was treated. During the inter-war period the New York financial bosses waged incessant economic warfare against us. Its course during the first decade can be traced in a grimly interesting book called “America Conquers Britain,” by Ludwell Denny. Our surrender of the command of the seas and our non-renewal of the Japanese Alliance have been noted. When we called upon America for a loan to fight the ravages of the depression the terms dictated were deliberately framed to create proletarian discontent and did in fact lead to the mutiny at Invergordon.

Evidently, in 1931 a thousand British sailors mutinied by holding a strike. The strike in turn led to a run on the London Stock Exchange that forced Britain off the Gold Standard. The strike was precipitated because during the Depression Britain sought to cut public spending, and sailors suffered pay cuts of as much as twenty-five percent. Once again, Chesterton continues:

After we had been forced out of the Wall Street orbit the attacks on us were redoubled and kept up until the outbreak of war, when the assault on our sovereign independence as a Great Power had to take second place to the more urgent assault on Hitler's Reich. But it was never abandoned. Reporting to the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Alberta in 1939, the Alberta Social Credit Board stated: "The evidence is overwhelming that the objective of International Finance in the present struggle centred in the war is the destruction, for all practical purposes, of the British Commonwealth of Nations as the bulwark of democracy. There can be little doubt that the forces controlled by International Finance will be invoked to concentrate on the weakening of the sovereign power of the people, by means of a progressive centralisation of power. The rapid increase of the debt structure as a result of the war, the introduction of large-scale planning under bureaucratic central control, the impositions of harsh regulations and the rapid increase of taxation are methods which have already proved successful in consolidating financial control in the past under the pretext of war conditions. Therefore they are likely to be the methods used by International Finance at the present time in the pursuit of its objective of world domination…” How lamentably true this prediction has been proved! Apart from its fulfilment inside Britain, the proofs of the prophesy lie in U.N.O., in Bretton Woods, and in the special measure drawn up to give Britain the coup de grace – the American Loan Agreement. Bretton Woods would have made any economic insulation of the British Empire a difficult and precarious undertaking: the Loan Agreement makes it an impossible one. It wipes out the sterling area and uses the euphemism "contraction" to define the abolition of Imperial Preference. Henceforward American goods and capital will sweep us from our Empire markets. The Federal Reserve Board will dictate our financial policy during the period of the loan-repayment, which means that it will enjoy a fifty years' usufruct of the Empire – or of what is now about to cease being the Empire. [Usufruct is “the right to enjoy the use and advantages of another's property short of the destruction or waste of its substance.” - WRF] Great Britain herself will be forced in repayment to sell more and more of her capital assets at home, as she has already sold them abroad. Unless a great upsurge of the national spirit moves her to a speedy revolt against these iniquities, she must become a mere financial colony – slum would be a more appropriate word – of Wall Street banksterdom. An exaggeration? Perspicacious Americans do not think so. Said Mr. John Abbink, chairman of the National Foreign Trade Council of the U.S. : “If the Bretton Woods plan and the U.S. loan to Britain are properly developed, the dollar will replace the pound as the monetary plan for world finance. The U.S. will become the greatest financial agent the world has ever known.” For “U.S.” read Wall Street and for “agent” read “master” : the picture is then true. Mr. Abbink added: “The line of credit to be offered Britain, together with the settlement of Lend-Lease, is a small price to pay for the opportunity to plan a period of prosperity such as this country (the U.S.) has never known. I confess some doubt about the British ability to comply with all the conditions.” Unimaginable prosperity for America: Britain too impoverished to meet her commitments! President Truman contented himself with saying that the loan would be “good business” for America. Both the President and Mr. Abbink are greatly mistaken, however, if they suppose that there is any hope of permanent prosperity for America in this “good business,” not only because of the flaw in the heart of the export-capitalist system, but even more because permanent prosperity would ruin the entire money-lending racket. What will become permanent will be the stranglehold of the money-lenders over mankind.

That is certainly true, but I would not describe this as America conquering Britain. Rather, it represents International Jewry abandoning England as their base for world control and conquest, which they had used for nearly three hundred years, and moving that base to America, and more precisely, to New York, where there was much better potential for further world conquest and control. John Abbink was a presumed expert on international trade, and had been a former head of McGraw-Hill Publishing Co. when he died in 1958. Continuing with Chesterton:

There is, perhaps, a reservation to be made here. It may not be a stranglehold over the whole of mankind. Mr. Churchill in his Fulton speech referred to the shadow which has fallen over the Allied victory. There is some evidence that the same shadow has fallen over Wall Street. The modern international banking system – although its seed was sown in Britain by the financial advisers of William III, who in turn had imported it from Holland – did not begin to come into its own until the French Revolution had thoroughly watered the ground.

Here Chesterton is more candid, and displays greater understanding: it was under William III that the Bank of England was founded in 1694, principally by Dutch Jews who had been admitted under Cromwell, whose Glorious Revolution they had financed. When Charles II was reinstated to the throne, and later succeeded by his brother James, because he was a Catholic the nobles deposed him and brought in William III of Orange. The Jews consistently benefited wherever Protestants and Catholics clashed. Continuing again:

The 1848 revolts strengthened its growth. Thereafter we find it developing in continuous association with the forces of the Left, whose Bolshevik revolution in 1917 it subsidized.

The bankers used the Left to achieve the overthrow of the established order. Then once they obtain control, they oppress all sides. They still employ that same method today. Continuing with Chesterton:

Warburg and his friends nurtured the Russian Communist State with American money which they fed through German channels. Since then international capitalism and international socialism have planned many campaigns together ; at this very time they are presenting a united front against Spain, Portugal and Argentina. Why this mutual attraction? One reason, no doubt, is that the Money-Power possess that which it may be expected to possess – money. And Communism has never shown that it despises money. Conversely, Bolshevism is a potent ally in undermining the Monarchial or National State, which is the only effective rival to the complete Bankers’ State.

So it is today, where throughout the West the Marxist antifa groups act as radicals on behalf of the establishment against all forms of Nationalism. The partnership continues! Continuing with Chesterton:

Moreover, so long as the headquarters of the financial system are located in the most powerful industrial state, and so long as free enterprise therein is assured, the Money-Power in the ordinary course can have little objection to other nations establishing socialist economies. Governments are peculiarly susceptible to the pressures which it knows so well how to exert : their contracts always go in largest measure to the entrenched vested interests. If every export and every import be made a Government contract, the Money-Power in the free enterprise country can look, therefore, to abundant profits and an absolute ultimate control. Potential rivals will also be eliminated – a first-class attraction. Mr. A. N. Field, who has done more than any man living to expose the wickedness of the financial system, summed up in these words the situation as it existed in 1932 : “The position is that international finance, by enticing the world into enormous debts and then withholding the means of payment, is goading mankind into the arms of the international revolutionaries established in Moscow.” That position certainly existed fourteen years ago : it existed as recently as fourteen months ago. But now, as I say, has fallen the shadow. It is the not inconsiderable shadow of Russia.

That was the fear in 1946. I honestly believe that it never came to fruition, because the West capitulated to the demands of the bankers. The Civil Rights Movement, the Great Society and Immigrations Acts of the 1960’s, if America had not capitulated in these areas, the Cold Waqr may have ended in a qwuite different manner. But America and the rest of the West capitulated to the demands of the International Jews, and a Third World War became unnecessary.

The Export–Import Bank of the United States was first begun by Executive Order in 1934, made an independent agency by Congress in 1945, and was reauthorized in 2014. Current President Trump had derided the bank, but suddenly changed his mind after his election and now upholds it. It was originally intended to be a lender of last resort to companies that sought to import or export goods but which could not get commercial loans. Now it is utilized by major corporations such as Boeing and General Electric. I may be wrong, but this seems to fulfill the demand that imports and exports be made under government contract, as the bankers had wanted, rather than as private transactions. Continuing with Chesterton:

Red Russia was the child of Wall Street finance, and even today she is not averse to borrowing from her parents, a well-known method of keeping affections sweet and fresh in that family relationship. Now, however, it has become exceedingly clear that such loans will be used for a purpose different from any thought possible before the war – the strengthening of Russia as an Imperialism which may rival and overthrow the Dollar Imperialism of the Federal Reserve Board. This does not mean that the quarrel is necessarily a permanent one : the tremendous anti-Russian “build-up” in America during the fortnight before Mr. Churchill's Fulton speech, for instance, may have been caused by some purely local dispute – such as the division of the spoils in Manchuria – and a permanent settlement may well see the two Imperialisms again at work breaking up and devouring the British Empire.

This of course never happened with Soviet Russia, which was dismantled once the Cold War was no longer necessary. But it may yet happen with another capitalist-backed Communist nation, Red China. Chesterton now concludes:

The quandary in which Britain finds herself is one of the utmost difficulty and menace. Any attempt to steer her own course by building up an Empire economy on a sane monetary basis would meet with immense opposition abroad, and be freely sabotaged at home by Fifth Columnists – both those serving Moscow and the others on the Right who seek to shelter behind the illusory aegis of America. There is, moreover, very little recognition in this country of the facts behind the conventional Press and B.B.C. facade. Some men have fought bravely against Bretton Woods, it is true – at their head Messrs. Robert Boothby, Christopher Hollis, Norman Smith, Richard Stokes and Michael Foot in the House of Commons, Lord Beaverbrook and the Duke of Bedford in the House of Lords – but as yet the picture of world affairs in their totality has been revealed to only a small fraction of the British people, and there is no doubt whatever that the ignorance of the rest has been deliberately fostered by the staging of political sham-fights for their distraction.

This is certainly a phenomenon which we witness frequently in the Fake News industry today, which produces constant distractions and never informs the people of the truly important events affecting their futures. Finally, Chesterton warns:

Unless enlightenment comes within the next few months Britain as a Great Power will cease to exist, and “sole sovereign sway and masterdom” over all British lands will pass into the keeping of a small group of master-usurers who know the value of everything in the world – providing it can be measured in terms of gold !

Of course, it did come to pass that following the Second World War Great Britain sank to the level of a third-rate economic power. The loss of her empire and all of her overseas ports cost Britain the loss of her supremacy on the seas, and because of that, the loss of mercantile supremacy as well. But manufacturing of most of the world’s goods was hardly shifted to America before it was shifted to Asia, where it remains to this day. Before this series of the Protocols is complete, we shall present evidence that Jewish merchants, such as Macy’s in New York, were favoring goods manufactured in Asia as early as the early 1930’s.

Chesterton wrote this essay as a warning to his countrymen of what was to come as a result of Bretton Woods, however his testimony of what had already transpired as a result of the collusion of the International Jewish bankers against England is even more valuable today. Sadly, he seems to have stopped short of realizing that the Jews were behind the original construction of the British Empire in the first place, and just as the Jews who moved to America were already oppressing England’s economy, the earlier Jews in England had encouraged the oppression of the economies in other nations to build her empire.

This concludes our presentation of The Menace of the Money Power.
