1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000 Greetings and welcome to this podcast known as Faith to Live By, where I explore current events from a biblical and prophetic perspective. 2 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:17,000 I'm Pam Christian, the researcher, writer, producer and host of this weekly program where I seek to bring people into a greater understanding of truth. 3 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,000 In light of everything, President Trump and Elon Musk are exposing and bringing in two account. 4 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:41,000 This week, and likely the next two weeks, I will focus on the history of greed and corruption, explaining how it started and expanded, and how governments worldwide have been complicit with the advancement of a one-world government through the shrewd use of money and also gold. 5 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:57,000 The purpose of this part one episode is to provide the historical background and progression of events that have brought us to the world's economic systems we are presently using, which will lead us to understand why we need a complete overhaul of the world's economic systems. 6 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:10,000 This is a very hot topic right now because of the many communications and specific actions President Trump has made that strongly suggest he is leading the way for the radical changes in the world's economies. 7 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:29,000 As the people of this world who have been subjected to so much evil and corruption from those who seek a one-world order where they have all control and power, it is essential that we understand world economics so we can protect ourselves and our God-given freedoms from this point forward. 8 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,000 How I thank God for all the truth he is revealing for us today. 9 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:51,000 We are definitely living in the days God's prophets have spoken of, where God's truth and righteousness will prevail and the atmosphere will be changed for all God's people in the world to experience the victorious, abundant life Christ died to give us. 10 00:01:51,000 --> 00:02:09,000 To rebuild anything first requires identifying what is worthy to keep and what must be discarded. It's a necessary process that's both painful and joyous. However, by fixing our sight on the end goal, that which is painful is much more easily endured. 11 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:27,000 As your trusted truth advocate, I have referred to myself as the reader's digest clearinghouse of current events and today's an excellent example of that. I have spent more hours in preparation for today's topic than any other podcast in the over four and a half years I've been bringing you truth. 12 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:42,000 If you want to be free from the evil in this world today, if you want to be free from the financial enslavement that's been systematically imposed on the people of the world, then you won't want to miss a single minute of this and the next two weeks podcast. 13 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:55,000 As it is so often true, in order to understand the present, we have to consider the past. We need to know how we came to be so enslaved so we can know how to never let it happen again. 14 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:11,000 Before I get into today's red hot topic, I want to share more about the Greece tour we're planning. I'm fully expecting our world to be in a much better state and for us to have reasons to celebrate by October. So it's fitting I've planned a trip for us to Greece. 15 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:26,000 I had several of you who wrote to me in the past that you wanted to be on the list of those interested in going on our Christian Ground tour of Greece called In the Footsteps of Paul. I've emailed each and every one of you and have only heard back from two of you. 16 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:42,000 If you expressed interest and you have not received an email from Faith to Live By at PamelaChristianMinistries.com, please check your spam box. We've entered the time of registration and deadlines and attendance requirements impact whether or not this trip takes place. 17 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:57,000 I've been working with a highly respected tour company for a trip that will allow us to meet up in Thessaloniki, Greece, where we will spend two days, then the next day travel to Kambaka, Greece. Then following day, we'll be taken to Athens, where we will spend four days. 18 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:15,000 So we're talking a total of seven days on the tour. You will need to arrive in Thessaloniki on the 19th, where we will stay at a four star hotel, then plan for your return flight from Greece on the 26th. We want between 20 and 34 people and the more people who sign up, the less the cost is per person. 19 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:31,000 This means you want to encourage as many of your friends and family to join us as possible. As it stands now with a minimum number of people, the tour is $2,699 per person double occupancy and $3,599 per person single occupancy. 20 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:46,000 Breakfast is included from the 20th through the 26th and dinner included on the 19th and the 22nd. To give you as much leisure time as possible, lunch is yours to do as you like, with some afternoons including tour activity and others completely up to you. 21 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:59,000 Registration fees of $300 per person are due at the time of sign up and registration is scheduled to close March 31st. Registration fees are refundable if requested by June 15th and are not refundable after that date. 22 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,000 Final payment must be made by July 15th. 23 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:12,000 Now, I know you want more details, so I encourage you to visit my webpage called Beyond the Podcast, where you can see additional details of the trip and actually sign up to attend. 24 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,000 I hope you don't delay and that you get as many people to join as possible so we can all save money. 25 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:25,000 And as an optional bonus, we are working on the addition of a four day cruise of the Greek Islands following the ground tour. 26 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,000 Use the link in the show notes to visit the Beyond the Podcast page. 27 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,000 Now, let's get into today's podcast. 28 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:46,000 In rapid succession, we are hearing reports of thousands, millions, and even billions of dollars of waste, fraud, and highly potential criminal dealings by a wide range of governmental and government funded entities. 29 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:59,000 The USAID, which is an independent federal agency alone, has dominated major headlines for amounts of money that have flowed through it and the lack of money that has actually reached its stated purpose. 30 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:08,000 Over the past one month, Musk and Doge staffers have moved quickly and aggressively to implement reforms across federal agencies. 31 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:19,000 Doge recently reported 55 billion dollars in savings through canceled grants, asset sales, workforce reductions, and terminated contracts and leases. 32 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,000 And this represents only federal waste. 33 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:31,000 To think any department of our government on any level has not committed fraud by wasting our tax dollars is naive. 34 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:39,000 Jokes are commonplace about government overspending, including when it comes to jobs outsourced to private sectors. 35 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000 Consider the California High Speed Railway. 36 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:51,000 The project, as it was originally envisioned, would connect Los Angeles and San Francisco in two hours and 40 minutes with 220 mile per hour trains. 37 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:57,000 Among the fastest in the world at a cost of 33 billion dollars. 38 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:10,000 But, Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy noted that the costs of the project have escalated threefold since the contract was let and that the project is woefully failing to achieve the completion goals. 39 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,000 Yet another reason, Governor Newsom, needs to be recalled. 40 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:23,000 Sadly, the city of San Francisco has been allowed to become run down and not at all the attractive, vibrant, and bustling city it once was. 41 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,000 The city's reputation is deterring domestic and international travelers. 42 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:34,000 The convention schedule has fallen drastically and there are concerns over safety and street conditions. 43 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:42,000 Unless the city is radically improved, the High Speed Rail project is a complete waste of funds and effort, in my opinion. 44 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:48,000 Mayors of San Francisco and Los Angeles, especially with the upcoming Olympics to LA, 45 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:57,000 need to seriously consider the trickle down impact of DOGE and the expressed opinions of the American tax paying voters regarding government. 46 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:02,000 In addition to demanding governmental agencies to step up and properly do their jobs, 47 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:13,000 this is a time for all companies that contract with federal, state, and local governments to conduct self audits to be certain you are no longer gouging the government 48 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:23,000 while artificially inflating costs, which in turn are passed to the taxpayer, therefore in reality gouging your fellow American. 49 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:33,000 In 2024, the top three money laundering scandals included the issue of pandemic relief funds, the one coin fraud, and the TD Bank case. 50 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:38,000 But these are small peanuts compared to all we will learn in the months to come. 51 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:47,000 In fact, I'm convinced the multiple frauds committed by Sam Bankman-Freed, the founder of FTX Cryptocurrency Exchange, 52 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:55,000 were highlighted in the news as a smokescreen to prevent us from even considering the amount of fraud being committed by our own governments. 53 00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:02,000 Just like the IRS posted their top 10 cases of fraud to cause us to believe the IRS is on the up and up chasing the bad guys, 54 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:08,000 when in fact the IRS itself has much wrongdoing to account for. 55 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:23,000 Smoke and mirrors, false flags, and black swan events from the distant past up until today are all being exposed as schemes intended to keep the public uninformed about the sinister and gross evil that is operating in our midst. 56 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:35,000 The declassification of the assassination records of President John F. Kennedy and the truth about 9-11 to be revealed are just two examples that will undoubtedly prove my claims. 57 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:45,000 In fact, why specific people have been murdered, including Abraham Lincoln, will be brought out in this and the next couple of podcasts. 58 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:58,000 If you're a regular listener to my podcast, then you've heard from my guest, Dr. Scott Young, about his views of Nesera, Jessera, and his belief that we need to restore money systems to a gold-backed system. 59 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:08,000 Most people definitely agree. We need a complete overhaul of our monetary system, and all indicators are that this new system will be gold-backed. 60 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:15,000 The advantages of having our money backed by gold, known as the gold standard, will be something I'll get into in more detail next week. 61 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:26,000 But at this time, with all the revelations of the unimaginable waste of our tax dollars, the unexplainable net worth of many of our elected officials given their official salaries, 62 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:33,000 and the question of the existence of the American people's gold in Fort Knox, I had to dig deeper. 63 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:41,000 Part of my research has included taking copious notes from a three-and-a-half-hour documentary titled The Money Masters, 64 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:52,000 How International Bankers Gained Control of America, which proves what we've come to suspect. Our government has been under the control of those who have the most money. 65 00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:05,000 While this documentary focuses on American issues, as you'll hear, for centuries all nations of the world have been controlled by what the film producer calls the money changers. 66 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:16,000 Produced in 1996, this film examines the evolution of money, debt, and taxation, tracing their impact from biblical times to the present, 67 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:24,000 and uncovers the origin of the global political power structure that dominates nations today. 68 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:30,000 Follow the money has time and time again been the path to learning truth, as the Bible clearly states, 69 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:40,000 the love of money is the root of all evil, which while some coveted after, they have aired from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 70 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:49,000 1 Timothy 6-10, and we are very soon to learn of many people who have essentially sold their soul for the love of money. 71 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,000 Equally significant is what we learn from Hosea 4-6, where God says, 72 00:11:53,000 --> 00:12:01,000 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. In context, this verse speaks to the lack of knowledge about God's word. 73 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:11,000 However, it can be applied to life in general as endorsed by Proverbs 29 verse 18, which states, where there is no vision, the people perish. 74 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:21,000 This verse speaks of lacking a clear goal or direction, and for the Christian, our goal and direction is to promote God's will and God's ways in this world 75 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,000 so that truth and righteousness prevail. 76 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:40,000 With all of this as the background for this podcast part one episode, let's now consider how our nations have come to be controlled by those with the most money, who I will also refer to as the money changers. 77 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:48,000 As the previous mentioned documentary points out, people using money against other people for their own selfish gain is an ancient problem. 78 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:58,000 However, for our modern times, we will start with the Rothschild family, and for this introduction, I also give credit to Donald Watkins from his post titled, 79 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,000 The Rothschilds Controlling the World Money Supply for More Than Two Centuries. 80 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:09,000 The patriarch of the Rothschild family was a man named Meir Amskel Rothschild. 81 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:25,000 He lived from 1744 to 1812. He realized loaning money to governments and kings was the most profitable, with repayment assured by the people of that nation paying taxes as enforced by their government. 82 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:31,000 The Rothschilds are a family of Jewish financiers that became international bankers. 83 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:49,000 The Rothschilds World of High Finances started with Meir Amskel Rothschild, founder and money lender at Frankfurt, Germany, and financial advisor to the land graves of Hesse Castle, agent of the British government in subsidizing European sovereigns in various wars. 84 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:55,000 And to make sure they made a profit, they financed both sides of any given war. 85 00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:10,000 Meir Rothschild had five sons, Amskel Meir, who succeeded his father as head of the Frankfurt, Germany operations, Solomon Meir, who founded a branch in Vienna, Austria, Nathan Meir, who founded a branch in London, 86 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:19,000 Carl Meir, who founded a branch in Naples, Italy, and James or Jacob, who founded a branch in Paris, France. 87 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:31,000 In the mid 1700s, the colonists, wanting to break free from Britain, came to America for a new life, but they still needed some exchange with Britain for goods not yet available in America. 88 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,000 In the process, the colonists were drained of their gold and silver by the British government. 89 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:45,000 In response, the colonists experimented with printing their own money, known as colonial script, a type of fiat currency. 90 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:51,000 They learned when they printed just enough, their monetary system worked and the colonies were prosperous. 91 00:14:51,000 --> 00:15:03,000 When British associates of the Rothschilds asked Benjamin Franklin, who advocated for the colonists in British Parliament how he accounted for the prosperous conditions prevailing in the colonies, he replied, 92 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:15,000 quote, that is simple. In the colonies, we issue our own money. It is called colonial script. We issue it in the proper proportion to the demands of trade and industry, end quote. 93 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:30,000 In other words, when they printed the right amount, this fiat monetary system worked. When too much fiat money is printed, such as we're experiencing in our day, the system doesn't work for the people, but it does work for the bankers, whom we call the money changers. 94 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:48,000 Now, keep in mind, what is used as money or currency can be anything people agree upon. Essentially, anything that is widely accepted as a medium of exchange can be considered currency, including seashells or beads, such as been used in some societies and regions throughout history. 95 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:58,000 When the Rothschilds learned of the prosperity of the colonists, they realized their opportunity to exploit the situation with considerable profit to themselves. 96 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:07,000 The obvious thing to do was to have a law passed prohibiting the colonial officials from issuing their own money and make it the banks. 97 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:26,000 The British government influenced by the Rothschilds adopted the Currency Act of 1764, which prohibited colonial officials from issuing their own currency and required they pay all their future taxes in gold or silver coins, thus requiring precious metal currency. 98 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:39,000 The authorities in the colonies had to discard their script money. They had to mortgage the colonial assets and securities to the Bank of England in order to borrow the money they needed to carry on business. 99 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:56,000 Referring to those facts, Benjamin Franklin stated, quote, in one year the conditions were so reversed that the era of prosperity ended and a depression set in to such an extent that the streets of the colonies were filled with unemployed end, quote. 100 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:11,000 Franklin stated, quote, the Bank of England refused to give more than 50% of the face value of the script when turned over as required by law. The circulating medium of exchange was thus reduced by half end, quote. 101 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:29,000 Franklin disclosed the primary cause of the revolution when he said, quote, the colonies would gladly have borne the little tax on tea and other matters had it not been that England took away from the colonies their money, which created unemployment and dissatisfaction, end, quote. 102 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:46,000 Few colonists realized that the taxes and other economic sanctions imposed upon them was the result of the Rothschild's international influence on governments through the privately owned central banks influence on government as conducted by the owners of the central banks. 103 00:17:46,000 --> 00:18:06,000 Likewise, few in Parliament realized that after the Rothschild's gained control of the Bank of England, they succeeded in obtaining control of the British Treasury, which jumped Britain's national debt from 1,250,000 pounds in 1694 to 16 million pounds in 1698, 104 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:22,000 and increased it progressively to 885 million by 1815 and 22,503,532,372 by 1945. 105 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:41,000 I offered the progression of England's national debt well into the 21st century at this point so we can see that the Rothschild's request for privately owned central banks, loaning to governments, established a model that we are still subject to today complete with the financing of both sides of any given war. 106 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:56,000 Lending to governments was a low risk because the repayment of the loans was assured through the taxation of the people under that government. The people have always been seen as the pawns in this entire scheme. 107 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:14,000 For America, the control by bankers through war began on April 19, 1775 with the first armed clashes between British and Colonials that took place at Lexington and Concord. In 1776, Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence. 108 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:29,000 For the next seven years, the International Money Lenders, the money changers, urged and financed the colonial war. The Rothschilds made plenty of money supplying the British with German Hessian soldiers with which to fight the colonists. 109 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:35,000 The average Brit had no quarrel with his American cousins. He secretly sympathized with them. 110 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:50,000 On October 19, 1781, the British commander, General Cornwallis, surrendered his whole army. On September 3, 1783, the independence of the United States was recognized by the Peace Treaty of Paris. 111 00:19:50,000 --> 00:20:19,000 The only real losers were the British people. Their national debt had been increased tremendously and the International Money Lenders, the Rothschilds who were in reality the secret power behind the World Revolutionary Movement, had succeeded in the first stage of a long-range plan towards the dissolution of the British Empire as part of a long-term plan for a one-world government controlled by the money changers. 112 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:37,000 Now do you see how the plans for a one-world government have been underway for hundreds of years? Self-appointed elite, greedy for money and power, have been working for world control, taxing the people based on their labor and financing wars between countries. 113 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:46,000 Now let me bring us more up to date with more history to show how the Rothschilds expanded their family of elite partners. 114 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:59,000 In 1791, the Rothschild family gained control of America's money supply through Alexander Hamilton, the family's agent in George Washington's cabinet. 115 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:16,000 While Hamilton was a key architect of the Constitutional Convention, which was held in secret, at this convention, Hamilton revealed his admiration for the British system of government as the world's best, a perspective that influenced Hamilton's career. 116 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:23,000 He also proposed establishing a national bank in America, which sparked significant debate. 117 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:35,000 For clarity, a national bank brings concern for excessive power concentrated in the hands of a single financial institution and therefore the hands of the people who own the institution. 118 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:42,000 Despite the names given, such as National Bank or Federal Bank, these are privately owned institutions. 119 00:21:42,000 --> 00:22:01,000 Further concerns include unfair advantages to the wealthy urban interests over rural communities, fear of manipulation of the economy for political gain, and whether or not having a national or federal bank is constitutional as a potential overreach of federal power. 120 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:09,000 Today in America, we have 12 federal reserve banks with 24 branches that are all part of the operating arms of the Federal Reserve System. 121 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:15,000 Each reserve bank operates within its own particular geographic area or district of the United States. 122 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:20,000 My listeners who are outside of the United States need to learn about the banks in your country. 123 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:31,000 In all cases, these banks seek to influence governments and control the people, all while these banks are essentially self-governed institutions. 124 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:54,000 To the question, what do the Federal Reserve Banks do? Their own document state, quote, in addition to helping set monetary policy, the Reserve Banks responsibilities include supervising and examining member banks, providing key financial services, supporting the government, and serving their district, end, quote. 125 00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:01,000 Remember, supporting government follows the model of the Rothschilds to this very day. 126 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:17,000 Here in the United States today, we have national banks such as Chase, Citi, Bank of America that are members of the Federal Reserve Bank, that are members of the International Monetary Fund, the Bank of International Settlements, and the World Bank. 127 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:26,000 Understanding central banks and how they operate is essential for us to properly understand and direct our government in our present days. 128 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:43,000 Remember, our American government is for and by the people. When we don't understand how systems work, in our ignorance, we become subject to self-serving politicians who have joined in promoting the Rothschilds model for central banks and a one-world government. 129 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,000 Now, back to the historical account. 130 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:59,000 In America, in 1791, the Rothschild family established a central bank in the United States named the First Bank of the United States and received a 20-year charter from Congress. 131 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:11,000 In 1812, when Congress refused to renew the First Bank of the United States charter, the Rothschilds threatened the United States with a most disastrous war with Britain. 132 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:20,000 Remember, the Rothschilds had strong presence and influence from London. Even with this threat, the United States stood firm. 133 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:26,000 Following through on their threat, a second war broke out between the United States and Britain. 134 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:43,000 The British government, always subservient to the Bank of England, launched the War of 1812. This war was calculated to impoverish the United States to such an extent that legislators would have to plead for peace and seek financial aid. 135 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:53,000 Nathan Rothschild stipulated that no financial aid would be forthcoming except in return for the renewal of the charter for the First Bank of the United States. 136 00:24:53,000 --> 00:25:07,000 Nathan Rothschild's plan worked to perfection. It mattered not to him how many men were killed and wounded, how many women were widowed, how many children were orphaned, how many people were rendered destitute. 137 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:23,000 He and his co-conspirators rejoiced in the fact that they had achieved their objective and in so doing, they had created more and more dissatisfaction among the masses of the people who blamed the blundering policies on their own government. 138 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:31,000 While the secret power behind the scenes, the money changers, remain unsuspected by all except a very few people. 139 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:38,000 I'll insert here, this should cause us to think very soberly about the Russia-Ukraine conflict. 140 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:46,000 By 1815, Nathan Mayer Rothschild controlled the Bank of England and boldly declared, quote, 141 00:25:46,000 --> 00:26:03,000 I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the empire on which the sun never sets, the man who controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire and I control the British money supply, end quote. 142 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:12,000 This became the Rothschild's family mantra, control the world by controlling the world's money supply. 143 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:20,000 In 1816, the United States Congress granted the renewal of the Charter for the Bank of the United States as requested. 144 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:31,000 There are many authorities who state quite frankly that the members of Congress were bribed or threatened in devoting for the legislation which put the American people back into financial bondage. 145 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:36,000 Does that sound anything like what we're learning about our government leaders today? 146 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:45,000 History records that Judah P. Benjamin, a Rothschild relative, was appointed as their professional strategist in America. 147 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:55,000 In their quest for more power and control, the American Civil War of 1861, which split the Union in two, became an accomplished fact. 148 00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:03,000 The international bankers loaned unlimited credit to all forces engaged by the South fighting the forces in the North. 149 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:22,000 They loaned Napoleon III, 201,500,000 francs for his Mexican campaign, when the Confederacy needed assistance in 1863, the powers that be offered Napoleon, Texas, and Louisiana, in exchange for French intervention against the Northern states. 150 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:38,000 The Tsar of Russia heard of these preposterous offers and he informed the governments of England and France that should they actively intervene and give military aid to the South, Russia would consider such action as a declaration of war against the Imperial Russian Empire. 151 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:47,000 To strengthen his ultimatum, Russian warships were sent to New York and San Francisco and placed at President Lincoln's disposal. 152 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:56,000 When the Northern authorities found themselves in financial difficulties, the international bankers didn't refuse to loan them money. 153 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:05,000 They simply stipulated that the rate of interest to the Northern states would be 28%. After all, they were in business as money lenders. 154 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:18,000 An important aspect of the American Civil War is that it would in all probability have reached a conclusion in a few months had not the international money lenders, the money changers, made fresh loans. 155 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:29,000 These loans were usury. They were based on terms and rates of interest that were calculated to give the international bankers control of the economy of the whole country. 156 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:34,000 When they considered it time, they ended the war. 157 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:45,000 Lincoln tried to break the financial bonds with which his Northern states were bound. To him, Article 1, Section 8, paragraph 5 of the Constitution was sufficient authority. 158 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:53,000 He disregarded the bankers' overtures. He caused $450 million of honest money to be printed. 159 00:28:53,000 --> 00:29:04,000 He based the credit of the nation as security behind this money. The currency was another fiat currency known as greenbacks because of the color of ink. 160 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:17,000 The international bankers retaliated by causing a bill to be passed through Congress, ruling that nation's greenbacks would not be accepted as payment of interest on government bonds or import duties. 161 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:25,000 The bankers caused Lincoln's money to become almost valueless by refusing to accept the greenbacks except at a heavy discount. 162 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:32,000 Having beaten down the value of greenback dollars to 30 cents, they bought them all in. 163 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:38,000 The bankers then turned around and bought government bonds with them, demanding dollar for dollar value. 164 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:45,000 In this way, they overcame a serious threat and made 70 cents on the dollar. 165 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:57,000 In 1863, the bankers financed the election campaigns of enough senators and congressmen to assure them the National Banking Act would become law. 166 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,000 Sound familiar? 167 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:07,000 The National Banking Act did become law in 1863 despite the vigorous protests of President Lincoln. 168 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:18,000 Thus, the international bankers won another round. The people of the world had been brought one step nearer to economic, political, and religious bondage. 169 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:29,000 As evidenced by an exchange of letters in 1863, Ohio Senator John Sherman, who had his sights on becoming president in working with the Rothschilds, 170 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:42,000 helped produce specifications for advantages and profits of an American investment under the provisions of the National Banking Act, which the parties agreed would remain strictly confidential. 171 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:46,000 One paragraph in the letter from the Rothschild brothers said, quote, 172 00:30:46,000 --> 00:31:00,000 Mr. Sherman declares that there has never been such an opportunity for capitalists to accumulate money as that presented by this act. It gives the National Bank almost complete control of the national finance. 173 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:10,000 The few who understand the system, he says, will either be so interested in its profits or so dependent on its favors that there will be no opposition from this class, 174 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:22,000 while on the other hand, the great body of the people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantages that capital derives from the system will bear its burden without complaint, 175 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:31,000 and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests. End quote. 176 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:45,000 Did you catch that? As far back as the days of Abraham Lincoln, the people of America have been considered by self-serving politicians and bankers as incapable of comprehending their schemes, 177 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:55,000 even to the point that we would bear the burden without complaint and without suspecting their schemes are actually hostile to our own best interests. 178 00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:10,000 Who was it that called the American people deplorable or domestic terrorists? Who was it that called the people of the world useless eaters, among other things, the self-appointed elite who want to control us? 179 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:15,000 The people may not have realized what was going on then, but this is now. 180 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:25,000 Back to history. Following the 1863 exchange of letters, the American bankers put into practice once again the manipulation specified. 181 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:42,000 Then they reaped another rich harvest by foreclosures on property and securities left with them as securities for loans which their clients could not repay because the bankers acting in unity with drew currency and restricted credits to a degree that made it impossible 182 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:47,000 for the vast majority of borrowers to meet their financial obligations. 183 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:55,000 In response, President Lincoln launched a public campaign upon the bankers. In a speech, Lincoln said quote, 184 00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:21,000 I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned. An era of corruption in high places will follow and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the republic is destroyed. 185 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,000 End quote. 186 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:44,000 Shortly after making this moment of speech, Abraham Lincoln was reelected president, but before he could have legislation enacted, which would have curb the aboricious practices of the bankers. He was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth while attending a theatrical performance on the night of April 9 1865. 187 00:33:44,000 --> 00:34:03,000 Very few Americans know why President Lincoln was assassinated. The true answer was found when investigators located a coded message among Booth's effects. The key to that coded message was in possession of Judah P. Benjamin, who was Rothschild's agent in America. 188 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:19,000 While the coded message had no direct bearing on the murder, it definitely established the contact Booth had with the international bankers. Once again, they remain hidden behind the scenes while Booth was blamed for the death of a great man. 189 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:28,000 Had Abraham Lincoln lived, he would most certainly have clipped the wings and trimmed the sails of the international moneylenders, the money changers. 190 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:51,000 Beginning 1875, the Rothschilds acting through their New York banking partner, Jacob Schiff, at the banking house of Coon Loeb & Company, financed John D. Rockefeller Standard Oil Company, Edward H. Harriman's Railroad Empire, and Andrew Carnegie's Steel Empire, using Rothschild's money. 191 00:34:51,000 --> 00:35:08,000 The Rothschilds' family's banking businesses pioneered international high finance during the industrialization of Europe and America. Rothschild's banks financed railway systems around the world. They also financed the construction of the Suez Canal in Egypt. 192 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:35,000 Additionally, Rothschild's family capital founded De Beers in 1888, which is the largest diamond mining company in the world. The Rothschilds also helped New York financier J. P. Morgan and the Drexels and the Bittles of Philadelphia establish European branches of their respective banks in exchange for allowing the Rothschilds to control the banking industry in New York and therefore America. 193 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:49,000 By the end of the 19th century, the Rothschild family controlled half of the world's wealth. In 1913, the Rothschilds established their last and current central bank in America, the Federal Reserve Bank. 194 00:35:49,000 --> 00:36:07,000 This independent bank regulates and controls America's money supply and monetary policies. Even though the Federal Reserve Bank is overseen by a board of governors appointed by the President of the United States, the bank's real control still resides with the Rothschilds family. 195 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:27,000 In 1987, Edmund Rothschild created the World Conservation Bank to gain control of land in third world countries, which represent 30% of the land surface of the earth. The bank assumes the debts of these countries in exchange for real estate that is conveyed to the bank. 196 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:50,000 By 1995, the Rothschilds controlled an estimated 80% of the world's uranium reserves, thereby giving the family a monopoly over nuclear power. In 1992, former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Paul Volcker became chairman of the European banking firm J. Rothschild, Wolfensohn, and Company. 197 00:36:50,000 --> 00:37:05,000 By 2001, only seven nations in the world, China, Iran, Afghanistan, North Korea, Sudan, Cuba, and Libya, did not have a Rothschild controlled central bank. 198 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:24,000 Until May 5th, 2004, the price of gold was fixed twice a day at the NM Rothschilds and Sons in London by the world's main bullion houses, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Scotiabaccata, and Sochiatgeneral. 199 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:43,000 In 2006, Edmund de Rothschild's bank, a subsidiary of Europe's Edmund de Rothschild's family bank in France, became the first foreign bank to gain access to the Chinese market. The Rothschild's domination of the world's finance markets continue to this day. 200 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:54,000 It was said, during President Trump's first term, not even President Trump can break the Rothschild's family's financial grip and influence on the Federal Reserve Bank. 201 00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:20,000 However, now that we are over four years past his first term, and we are seeing President Trump and his team take swift action across so many platforms, I have great and optimistic hope that the economic reset God has spoken of many times through his profits and through his people like Dr. Scott Young, a regular guest on my podcast, will be seen and very soon. 202 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:32,000 Next week, I will help us understand the Federal Reserve system and how it was established to oversee monetary policy and regulate inflation, not for we the people, but against us. 203 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:44,000 I also want us to understand how World War One accelerated the political agenda of the money changers to have world dominance through what the public was told would produce a new world order. 204 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:55,000 I will also share how President Trump's approach of reducing taxes and imposing tariffs is not new and in fact has been successfully implemented by our nation in the past. 205 00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:07,000 The key for us this time around, however, will be to completely reset the central banking systems, also known as the Invisible Government, which must include recovering the people's gold. 206 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,000 Think, Fort Knox. 207 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:21,000 What will President Trump and Elon Musk find, or perhaps more accurate, what do they already know that self-appointed elite have intentionally kept we the people ignorant of? 208 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:31,000 You won't want to miss next week's program, and you should make a point of telling all your friends and family to listen to this episode in preparation to hear next week's program. 209 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:37,000 We need more people aware and operating on truth because it is truth that will set us free. 210 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:46,000 Now, I ask you to listen to my closing announcements and to take advantage of the many goods and services I bring you in an effort to at least cover the costs of this podcast. 211 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:59,000 The first announcement is about the Greece trip that we are in the process of finalizing. If you think you want to be part of it, be sure to send me the email according to the instructions because the deadlines for registering are looming. 212 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:12,000 It may seem far off, but most people make plans for a significant vacation about a year in advance, so if you haven't already expressed interest in traveling with us in October 2025, now is the time to do so. 213 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:18,000 We want to have about 30 people total because this size group works best for the specific tour I have in mind. 214 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,000 We'll be walking the footsteps of the Apostle Paul. 215 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:29,000 I'm using the time between now and February 2025 to determine if we have enough interest, and the trend indicates we definitely should. 216 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:41,000 We have just about 30 people on the list now, but I'd like to have more because when it comes to the actual day of making a commitment, things could have changed, and I want to be able to have at least 30 actually attend the tour. 217 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:52,000 So, if you think you'd like to be part of the Faith to Live by Christian tour with me in Greece during October 2025, now is the time to get your name and number in your party on the list. 218 00:40:52,000 --> 00:41:00,000 There's no obligation at this point.
