During the early nineteen-eighties living, working and growing up in London was for me a life of penury and making attempts to improve my lot in life. A source of comfort during that period was imaging a better life daily.

I imaged an environment where money was printed, coined and distributed and being in total control of its management. This was not for some vain desire, as I recall being over the City of London and South London observing both economic realities. Always working but not necessarily fulfilling my potential I eventually snapped out of my dream world and decided that the best way to improve my life was via the process of education, which I abandoned in the 6th form of my school days.

I began studying business studies and seriously considered accountancy and banking as career options. I began reading the Financial Times and Guardian newspapers to serve my research objectives and as general reading material.

The FT highlighted for me the ‘plight’ of Africa and the economic injustice I saw being perpetrated against her by the West. The instruments of economic destruction being used were the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, which has since been confirmed in a Report released by the IMF at the time of the world’s outcry against the ‘9/11’ events in America.

Several years later on 26th February 1995 I listened to a lecture on International Banking, which exposed the wickedness of the International Banking fraternity. Their involvement in the financing of wars, the destabilising of nations and most importantly I learnt about the Banking Dynasty that controls the Banks of England, Italy, France, Germany and Austria that are supposed to be owned by their respective governments but are in fact private banking institutions. That banking dynasty is known as the ‘Rothschild’s’.

About eight hours after the lecture, here in the UK the City of London’s oldest ‘Merchant’ Bank and Banker to the Queen of England, Barings Bank, was declared as, “near collapse in [a] £400 million loss.” Nick Leeson the financial trader working for Barings Bank in the Far East was blamed for the bank’s collapse. The acclaimed book quoted during the lecture was ‘None Dare Call It Conspiracy,’ by Gary Allen and Larry Abraham.

The information was mind-blowing. The Rothschild’s, Warburg’s, Loeb and Kuhn’s, Rockefellers, Dupont’s and J P Morgan Bank’s were identified as being involved in the financing of wars for greed and profit at the expense of human life. The most ‘damming revelation’ was that some of these bankers who professed to be ‘Jews’, financed Hitler, and also funded both protagonists in the American War for Independence.

My ‘banking’ thoughts bore fruit in a most unexpected way in

November 2002 whilst working for ‘Brucar’ (Brunel.com). I spent half a day with Mr. Rothschild, of N. M. Rothschild Bank (UK), him sitting in the back of my car taking him around London. A most curious destination was The ‘Whites’ ‘gentlemen’s’ club on St James’s street, just off Piccadilly in the West End.

What is so important about the Rothschild Family and its Banking Empire? This banking dynasty has weaved its way into the corridors of governments and taken control of them, such that people talk of Africa as the ‘stain on the conscience of the world’ without really knowing the handicap placed on her by International banks and other financial institutions.

Some of Rothschild’s Bank activities include financing “the English armies of Wellington in Spain and France, enabled Britain to buy into the Suez Canal, arranged the first Prussian bond, pioneered the development of Russian oilfields” and in part financed Cecil Rhodes who murdered and pillaged his way across Southern Africa in the name of gold and diamonds, leaving today’s legacy of the ‘De Beers Mining Company’”.

In Egypt during the 1860’s - 1870’s the burden of repaying bank loans at exorbitant rates of interest from European banks, for national infrastructure projects, began to take their toll on the Egyptian Government. Today governments get loans from the (IMF) and the Egyptian experience persists. As a result of the lean financial times the Khedive's (President) government of Egypt experienced, he used the last remaining ‘asset,’ of the country – its shares in the Suez Canal – to raise a loan for the country’s continued economic prosperity.

Egypt approached the French for a loan, news of which got through to the British government and the offices of Rothschild at the same time. Disraeli the then prime minister of Britain and Lionel Rothschild were very good friends and were “discussing the Egyptian situation,” primarily because Britain needed to secure the strategic route through the Suez Canal to its Indian, Australian, New Zealand and African colonies instead of having to traverse the continent of Africa making journey times longer.

Disraeli “asked Rothschild for the four million” needed to buy the Egyptian shares and after presenting the idea to the Cabinet and without “approach to Parliament to vote the necessary funds,” terms were accepted from Rothschild for “£4 million at 5 per cent interest and two and a half percent commission.

“Seven-sixteenths of the whole” Egyptian Suez Canal shares were thus acquired for Britain on November 24, 1875 to the despair and disgust of the Khedive of Egypt and his people who saw the move as a destruction of their national sovereignty and independence.

In 1997, when the Labour Party was voted in, to the euphoric delight of many, the ‘Bank of England’ was immediately privatised. The bank was formally established in 1694 for the purpose of war by a “cunning scheme to let the cash-strapped government of the time…borrow from the country’s rich landowners at good rates of interest. The company would be known as the Company of the Bank of England…and so the beast that spawned modern capitalism, with the power to bring down governments, was born”. Many of the banks investors were involved in the ‘Slave Trade’.

Why was the bank privatised? A government should be in total control of the printing and distribution of its ‘money’ supply and not have economic and monetary policy affected by the ebb and flow of ‘interest rates’ currently presided over by a Committee of persons from International banking institutions who determine the economic reality of this nation.

As this article gets to the desks of the ‘landscape’ designers of the events of history and the protectors of the status quo, their knives will be sharpened and the armour of wrath will be put on. But be reminded, surly the pen is mightier than the sword and it was David as small as he was who brought down Goliath!

Watch this space for more, god-willing.
