What You Should Know Answering Questions
by Loise Neville
The distempers of the State, while yet in their early stages,
may easily be dealt with, but if not noticed and allowed to grow until obvious
to everyone, there is no longer any remedy. -Machiavelli
In the last issue of North Coast X-Press, I cited books about the new economic
order and media disinformation, but left some questions unanswered, hoping
readers would seek them out. As promised, in this issue, I will answer them.
WHAT'S HAPPENED TO AMERICA?
Are you bewildered? Plant closures, jobs disappearing, homes unaffordable,
social services underfunded, banks closing, American workers homeless on
the streets, police harassment, new stringent laws, rising crime rates,
people without medical or dental care, cities falling apart, poisons in
air and water and food, a "recession" which doesn't go away, a
federal government which doesn't seem to care, and schools, cities and states
underfunded.
Why? We are told to blame it on the recession. False. The United States
with the biggest Gross National Product in the world has as much money as
it ever had. We are told to blame it on the national debt. False. If the
rich paid the same share of taxes as they did in the '70s, the debt would
go away. So say economists.
The problem is the new economic order called the New World Order. It came
roaring in with the Reagan administration and added momentum with the Bush
presidency. If the planned new free-trade alliance between Canada, U.S.,
and Mexico arrives, every American will feel its full hurricane force. Media
buffs and boob tube addicts "asleep" in front of the TV will have
a rude awakening. These true believers do not know that all our media, including
most of the alternative media, are tied to, or directly a part of, this
New World Order, therefore they refuse to warn us against it. All it takes
to "wake up" is this: visit the library reference desk and ask
for books on the "Group of 10," liberal economics, free trade,
privatization, and the GATT Treaty (the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs).
These will give you an outline of what is happening to us all. To find out
how the plan is implemented, read a book on global economics. Most libraries
contain many such books. WASHINGTON AND THE MEDIA
Washington and the media both lie to you. The biggest lie is that they are
opponents. They are not. Both are controlled-in fact owned-by the same entity,
the international financial community: corporations and banks. But everyone
does not lie. Global economists do not lie. Read what they say and check
it against observed facts. To understand media, the basic rule is "If
it's really important information, it won't be there." THOSE UNANSWERED
QUESTIONS:
Each "juicy tidbit" mentioned in my last article requires a full
article to be understandable because short answers are even more bizarre
than the questions. Nevertheless, here are the answers to the quiz:
1. Who really created the October Surprise? Answer: David Rockefeller. (Reference:
Howard Wachtel, The Money Mandarins and Holly Sklar, Trilateralism.
2. Who created the takeover of the the U.S. embassy in Teheran, Iran?
Answer: The CIA and the U.S.A. The CIA worked with a CIA-friendly group
of Iranians, and the deed was done. The U.S. took over Iran's money, paid
U.S.'s outstanding bills, and the banks with money left over made billions.
Then came October, and it looked as if Carter might win the election despite
the hostile media. When David Rockefeller was approached with the plan,
he told the international banks to keep the money until after the election,
because, of course, it was Iran's money that we had exchanged for our hostages.
When he learned the date had been changed, a desperate Carter found he could
do nothing about it. The banks had more power than the President of the
United States. For full details of the story, read The Money Mandarins;
Trilateralism also adds a bit to the turgid tale, identifying Rockefeller
and Kissinger as the duo who masterminded the Shah's exile.
Should Washington have told the truth? How would that have hit U.S. patriots?
A scam to deliberately steal another nation's money? How would that read
in the press of other nations? The truth not being acceptable, a cover story
was offered to the peasants-us!
3. How can international banks destroy any nation? Answer: Eurodollars can
stop a country's finance. (Reference: Ray Vickers, Those Swiss Money Men.)
The U.S. has taken over a number of smaller nations with the aid of the
CIA's four-point plan. In addition, Covert Action Information Bulletin,
Summer 1992,#41, says the NED (National Endowment for Democracy) claims
credit for destroying the Soviet Union by following these plans.
How can privately owned international monopoly banks (Eurobanks) destroy
any nation's economy? First of all, banks make money by interest on loans
and by gambling with the currency of nations. Banks buy and sell money just
as people gamble with shares in corporations in the stock market. Customarily
these banks buy a national currency when it is at a low price and sell when
it is high. Billions are made in a day in this manner.
What happens to a company when suddenly everyone sells its stock? The price
goes down until the stock is worthless and the company bankrupt and out
of business. If the corporation has money on hand it can buy up its own
stock and save itself. The same thing can happen to a nation, only worse,
because it has to buy back its own money with its own worthless money at
"good money" prices, the price of another nation's money. (References:
Gerg Feiger, International Finance, and Bruno Leone, Nationalism.)
4. What organization was most responsible for President Carter's inability
to free the embassy hostages before the election? Answer: The Bank of America
was the big holdout. President Carter was made to realize that banks have
more power than the President of the United States. (Reference: Howard Wachtel,
The Money Mandarins.)
5. What is the real reason for modern wars? Answer: money, according to
all economists: business competition for markets, raw materials and trade
routes. Why? Under the capitalist system, based upon the stock market, every
business must continue to grow. If a business does not grow, those who finance
it by buying stock in exchange for a share of the profits will cease buying
it and the business, without money, will fail. If businesses fail, the country
loses revenue, its GNP goes down, giving it bad credit with banks, and it
is in trouble. Also, war is a great money-maker; profits estimated at ten
times those of peacetime.
6. Is human greed the problem with our world today? Answer: No. The plan
to empower international banks and corporations and weaken control by nations-a
plan agreed upon by banks, corporations, the Group of 10-is the problem.
To facilitate this plan, money must be removed from populations, social
services, states and cities, to create an excuse for "privatization,"
the takeover of government functions by private corporations. The methods?
Low or no taxes on corporations and a big "welfare" program called
subsidies of tax money to fund corporations. That is the condition today
which is called the "recession." The plan is worldwide. (Reference:
Roger Orsiniger, Banks of the World.)
7. Do Congress and the Supreme Court write all the laws of the U.S.? Answer:
No. Many laws are "executive Orders," written in secret by presidents
(though later published), subject to a 40-day ratification by Congress if
put into effect. Under the Bush administration, most laws have been "model
legislation," written by the White House, given to a Congressman to
sponsor. (Reference:s Craig Hulet lecture, July 1991, Ann Fagin, The Law,
the Supreme Court and the People's Rights.)
8. How do banks multiply money until it is 26 to 33 times more than it is
in real money? Answer: By juggling the books. Money owed to the bank is
counted as money on hand, called Fractional Reserve Banking because only
a fraction of real money is kept on hand. (Reference: Anthony Sampson, The
Money Lenders.) (Note: In the depression of the '30s, the cry was "Where
did all the money go?" Actually it hadn't gone anywhere. It hadn't
existed except in the books kept by the banks.)
9. What was the real reason the capitalist countries wanted to destroy the
Soviet Union? Answer: Because the capitalist system with its many middlemen
through which a single product changes hands, giving a profit to each, could
not compete in international trade with the socialist system, which could
charge lower prices because there were no middlemen companies. (Reference:
William Loucks, Comparative Economic Systems.)'
10. Who created torture as a worldwide political technique? Answer: Probably
the Group of 7, one of the groups within the Group of 10 major nations (it
is composed of France, England, the U.S., Germany, Japan, Italy, and Canada),
as it is the group which deals with "terrorism." The CIA teaches
torture to world governments, but does not have the authority to make world
policy.
11. What was the real reason for the war in Vietnam? Answer: To test techniques
with which to overthrow Third World agricultural nations whose raw materials
and cheap labor would benefit manufacturers, though doubtless Vietnam was
chosen because of nearness to Communist China and because it was "the
rice bowl of Asia." (Reference: Gore Vidal in a lecture.)
12. What do Japan-bashing and the war against Iraq have in common?
Answer: Both Japan and Iraq created a European community-type alliance of
nations in their own areas. Iraq, a small, poor nation, could be attacked
as an example to all the Arab oil countries and provided an excuse to establish
permanent military bases on their lands., Japan, a rich nation, was attacked
only economically by maneuvers of the international finance community and
doubtless the banks. (References: Szylowicz, Iraq; O'Neill, The Energy Crisis
and U.S. Foreign Policy; the U.S. Army, Iraq: A Country Study; the U.S.
Army, Saudi Arabia: A Country Study; Julian Weiss, The Asian Century.)
If any of this surprises you, or if you think the new economic order will
never come to your door, I suggest you turn off the TV, stuff the local
paper under the couch, and find out what is going on in the real world.
The IMF (International Monetary Fund) has been the mover and shaker behind
the new international capitalist economy for years. Read what they plan
for us all, for all debtor nations (all nations today, almost without exception,
are debtors.)
Or read our planned future as predicted by world futurists in Neil Jacoby,
Corporate Power and Social Responsibility. Then get out there and fight
it. If you are an activist, it is especially important as no amount of going
out on the streets en masse, picket signs in hand, will have any effect
unless those picket signs target the real problems and the real culprits.
Only if a large number of aware Americans get together to fight against
these trends, can they be stopped or even mitigated.
Just progressives? Not enough. People across the political spectrum are
needed.
