Two-headed eagle emblem of the Byzantine Empire (Roman Empire) on a Red
Shield - Today this is the Russian coat of arms.
The "Illuminati" was a name used by a German sect that existed in the 15th
century. They practiced the occult, and professed to possess the 'light' that
Lucifer had retained when he became Satan.
In an attempt to document the origins of an secret organization which has
evolved into a mastodonic nightmare, successfully creating and controlling a
shadow government that supercedes several national governments, and in whose
hands now lay the destiny of the world, one must carefully retrace its history.
The lengths to which this organization has gone to create the political
machinery, and influence public sentiment to the degree necessary to propel its
self-perpetuating prophecy, are, quite frankly, mind boggling. Yet the facts
provide for the undeniable truth of its existence.
In 1743 a goldsmith named Amschel Moses Bauer opened a coin shop in Frankfurt,
Germany. He hung above his door a sign depicting a Roman eagle on a red shield.
The shop became known as the Red Shield firm. The German word for 'red shield'
is Rothschild.
Amschel Bauer had a son, Meyer Amschel Bauer. At a very early age Mayer showed
that he possessed immense intellectual ability, and his father spent much of
his time teaching him everything he could about the money lending business and
in the basic dynamics of finance. A few years after his father's death in 1755,
Mayer went to work in Hannover as a clerk, in a bank, owned by the
Oppenheimers. While in the employ of the Oppenheimers, he was introduced to a
General von Estorff for whom he ran errands. Meyer's superior ability was
quickly recognized and his advancement within the firm was swift. He was
awarded a junior partnership. Von Estorff would later provide the yet-to-be
formed House of Rothschild an entré into to the palace of Prince
William.
His success allowed him the means to return to Frankfurt and to purchase the
business his father had established in 1743. The big Red Shield was still
displayed over the door. Recognizing the true significance of the Red Shield
(his father had adopted it as his emblem from the Red Flag which was the emblem
of the revolutionary minded Jews in Eastern Europe), Mayer Amschel Bauer
changed his name to Rothschild (red shield). It was at this point that the
House of Rothschild came into being.
Through his experience with the Oppenheimers, Meyer Rothschild learned that
loaning money to governments and kings was much more profitable than loaning to
private individuals. Not only were the loans bigger, but they were secured by
the nation's taxes.
Five Sons, Five Arrows, Five Directions. Meyer Rothschild had five sons,
Amschel, Salomon, Nathan, Karl and Jakob. Meyer spent the rest of his life
instructing them all in the secret techniques of money creation and
manipulation. As they came of age, he sent them to the major capitals of Europe
to open branch offices of the family banking business. Amschel, stayed in
Frankfurt, Salomon was sent to Vienna. Nathan was sent to London. Karl went to
Naples, and Jakob went to Paris.
Although all the sons became astute branch managers, Nathan exhibited a
superior affinity for the banking business. When he got to London, he became a
merchant banker and began to cement ties between the House of Rothschild and
the Bank of England.
The House of Rothschild continued to buy and sell bullion and rare coins.
Through their shrewd business transactions they successfully bought out or
dismantled most of the competition in Europe. In 1769, Meyer became a court
agent for Prince William IX of Hesse-Kassel, who was the grandson of George II
of England, a cousin to George III, a nephew of the King of Denmark, and a
brother- in-law to the King of Sweden. Before long, the House of Rothschild
became the go between for big Frankfurt bankers like the Bethmann Brothers, and
Rueppell & Harnier.

Integrity, Industry.
In 1785, Meyer moved his entire family to a five story dwelling he shared with
the Schiff family. In 1865 The Schiffs' not-yet-born grandson Jacob would move
to New York and in 1917 become the mastermind behind the funding of the
Bolshevik Revolution. This action would successfully instate communism as a
major world movement, which was, (and still is), a basic tenet of the
Illuminati and their collectivist agenda, (but more Jacob Schiff and the
Illuminati agenda later). From this point on the Rothschilds and the Schiffs
would play a central role in the rest of European financial history, and
subsequently that of the United States and the world.
Meyer Rothschild began to realize that in order to attain the power necessary
to influence and control the finances of the various monarchs in Europe, he
would have to wrest this influence and power from the church, which would
necessitate its destruction. To accomplish this, he enlisted the help of a
Catholic priest, Adam Weishaupt, to assemble a secret Satanic order.
Adam Weishaupt was born February 6, 1748 at Ingoldstadt, Bavaria. Weishaupt,
born a Jew, was educated by the Jesuits who converted him to Catholicism. He
purportedly developed an intense hatred for the Jesuits. Although he became a
Catholic priest, his faith had been shaken by the Jesuits and he became an
atheist. Weishaupt was an ardent student of French philosopher Voltaire
(1694-1778). Voltaire, a revolutionary who held liberal religious views, had
written in a letter to King Frederick II, ("the Great"):
"Lastly, when the whole body of the Church should be sufficiently weakened and
infidelity strong enough, the final blow (is) to be dealt by the sword of open,
relentless persecution. A reign of terror (is) to be spread over the whole
earth, and...continue while any Christian should be found obstinate enough to
adhere to Christianity."
It is believed that, as a result of Voltaire's writings, Weishaupt formulated
his ideas concerning the destruction of the Church. In 1775, when summoned by
the House of Rothschild, he immediately defected and, at the behest of Meyer,
began to organize the Illuminati. The 1st chapter of the order started in his
home town of Ingolstadt.
As the name implies, those individuals who are members of the Illuminati
possess the 'Light of Lucifer'. As far as they are concerned, only members of
the human race who possess the 'Light of Lucifer' are truly enlightened and
capable of governing. Denouncing God, Weishaupt and his followers considered
themselves to be the cream of the intelligentsia - the only people with the
mental capacity, the knowledge, the insight and understanding necessary to
govern the world and bring it peace. Their avowed purpose and goal was the
establishment of a "Novus Ordo Seclorum" - a New World Order, or One World
Government.
Through the network of the Illuminati membership, Meyer Rothschild's efforts
were redoubled and his banking empire became firmly entrenched throughout
Europe. His sons, who were made Barons of the Austrian Empire, continued to
build on what their father had started and expand his financial
influence.
During the American Revolution, the House of Rothschild brokered a deal
between the Throne of England and Prince William of Germany. William was to
provide 16,800 Hessian soldiers to help England stop the Revolution in America.
Rothschild was also made responsible for the transfer of funds that were to pay
the German soldiers. The transfer was never made. The soldiers were never paid,
which may account for their poor showing. The Americans prevailed. At this
point Meyer Rothschild set his sights on America.
LCF Rothschild Group. The Group established by Edmond de Rothschild and
presided over today by his son, Benjamin, is one of the most prominent
organisations in the global financial sector.
The "Illuminati" was a name used by a German sect that existed in the 15th
century. They practiced the occult, and professed to possess the 'light' that
Lucifer had retained when he became Satan.
Meanwhile Benjamin Franklin, having become very familiar with the Bank of
England and fractional reserve banking, (see goldsmiths above), understood the
dangers of a privately owned Central Bank controlling the issue of the Nation's
currency and resisted the charter of a central bank until his death in 1791.
That was the same year that Alexander Hamilton pushed through legislation that
would provide for the charter of The First Bank of the United States.
Ironically, the bank was chartered by the Bank of England to finance the war
debt of the Revolutionary War. Nathan Rothschild invested heavily that first
bank. He immediately set about to control all financial activity, between
banks, in America.
There were a couple of problems, though. The U.S. Constitution put control of
the nation's currency in the hands of Congress, and made no provisions for
Congress to delegate that authority. It even established the basic currency
unit, the dollar. The dollar was Constitutionally mandated to be a silver coin
based on the Spanish pillar dollar and to contain 375 grains of silver.
This single provision was designed to keep the American money supply out of
the hands of the banking industry. The Bank of England made several attempts to
usurp control of the U.S. money supply but failed. Still, through their
Illuminati agents, they continued to enlist supporters through bribery and
kickbacks.
Any proponent of a fractional reserve banking system is an economic
predator.
During the next twenty years the country would fall prey to contrived
financial havoc as a result of the bankers policies of creating cycles of
inflation and tight money. During times of inflation the economy would boom,
there would be high employment, and people would borrow money to buy houses and
farms. At that point the bankers would raise interest rates and incite a
depression which would, obviously, cause unemployment. People who could not pay
their mortgages would have their homes and farms repossessed by the bank for a
fraction of their true value. This is the essence of the Illuminati ploy, and
it would recur, time and time again. In fact, it's still happening today.
By 1810,The House of Rothschild not only had a substantial stake in the Bank
of the United States, they were quietly gaining control of the Bank of England.
Although foreign owners were not, by law, allowed a say in the day to day
operations of the Bank of the United States, there is little doubt that the
American share holders and directors were, if not affiliated, complicit in the
aims and goals of the Illuminati and their central bankers.
In 1811 the charter for the First Bank of America was not renewed. As a
result, the House of Rothschild lost millions. This enraged Nathan Rothschild
so much that he, almost single handedly fomented the War of 1812. Using his
formidable power and influence, he coerced the British Parliament to attempt to
retake the Colonies. The first military attempt failed. The second strategy was
to divide and conquer. Any serious historian will find that the Civil War was
largely stirred up by Rothschild's illuminati agents in the United
States.

Ramat Hanadiv gardens in Israel.
Meyer Amschel Rothschild died on September 19, 1812. His will spelled out
specific guidelines that were to be maintained by his descendants:
1) All important posts were to be held by only family members, and only
male members were to be involved on the business end. The oldest son of the
oldest son was to be the head of the family, unless otherwise agreed upon by
the rest of the family, as was the case in 1812, when Nathan was appointed as
the patriarch.
2) The family was to intermarry with their own first and second
cousins, so their fortune could be kept in the family, and to maintain the
appearance of a united financial empire. For example, his son James (Jacob)
Mayer married the daughter of another son, Salomon Mayer. This rule became less
important in later generations as they refocused family goals and married into
other fortunes.
3) Rothschild ordered that there was never to be "any public inventory
made by the courts, or otherwise, of my estate...Also I forbid any legal action
and any publication of the value of the inheritance."
Nathan Mayer Rothschild, who, by 1820, had established a firm grip on the Bank
of England stated:
"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."
The Second Bank of the United States, was also chartered by the Bank of
England to carry the American war debt. When its charter expired in 1836,
President Andrew Jackson refused to renew it, saying a central bank
concentrated too much power in the hands of un elected bankers.
In 1838 Nathan made the following statement:
"Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who
makes its laws."
During the first quarter of the nineteenth century the Rothschilds expanded
their financial empire throughout Europe. They crisscrossed the continent with
railroads, which allowed the transport of coal and steel from their newly
purchases coal mines and iron works. Through a loan to the government of
England, they held the first lien on the Suez Canal. They financed the Romanov
dynasty in tsarist Russia, provided the funding that allowed Cecil Rhodes the
opportunity to plunder and sack South Africa as well as the funding that
allowed the government of France to plunder and sack North Africa.
As I have stated many times before, "the Dark Side" has been on both sides of
every war that has been fought in modern times. American and British
Intelligence have documented evidence that the House of Rothschild has financed
both sides of every war, since the American Revolution. Financier Haym Salomon,
an Illuminati agent, supported the patriots during the American Revolution,
then later made loans to James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe. As
explained earlier, during the Napoleonic Wars, one branch of the family funded
Napoleon, while another financed Great Britain, Germany, and other
nations.
One of the most prominent Illuminati Orders in the U.S. was the secret "Order
of Skull & Bones". Illuminati agents, William Huntington Russell and
Alphonso Taft, founded Chapter 322, at Yale University in 1833. Then, in 1856
the Order was incorporated as the Russell Trust. William Russell became a
member of the Connecticut State Legislature in 1846 and a General in
Connecticut National Guard in 1862. Alphonso Taft became Secretary of War in
the Grant Administration in 1876, U.S. Attorney General in 1876 and U.S.
Ambassador to Russia in 1884. Alphonso Taft's son later became Chief Justice
and United States President.
In the years preceding the Civil War, a number of "Skull and Bones" Patriarchs
were to become leaders in the Secessionist movements of various Southern
States. It has been suggested that these pressures exacerbated an already
tenuous situation, and set the stage for the fomentation of the Civil War. The
Rothschild Banks provided financing for both the North and the South during the
war. After the civil war, the more clever method was used to take over the
United States. The Rothschilds financed August Belmont, Khun Loeb and the
Morgan Banks. Then they financed the Harrimans (Railroads), Carnegie (Steel)
and other industrial Titans. Agents like Paul Warburg, Jacob Schiff, Bernard
Baruch were then sent to the United States to effect the next phase of the
takeover.
By the end of the 19th. Century, the Rothschilds had controlling influence in
England, U.S., France, Germany, Austria and Italy. Only Russia was left outside
the financial sphere of world domination. England, through the Bank of England,
ruled most of the world. Jacob Schiff, president of Khun Loeb Bank in New York
was appointed by B'nai B'rith (A secret Jewish Masonic Order meaning "Bothers
of the Convenent") to be the Revolutionary Leader of the Revolution in Russia.
A cartel, made up of the Carnegies, Morgans , Rockefellers, and Chases would
contribute to the manifestation of communism. On January 13, 1917, Leon Trotsky
arrived in the United States and received a U.S. Passport. He was frequently
seen entering the palatial residence of Jacob Schiff.
Jacob Schiff, and his supporters, financed the training of Trotsky's Rebel
Band, comprised mainly of Jews from New York's East Side, on Rockefeller's
Standard oil Company property in New Jersey. When sufficiently trained in the
techniques of guerrilla warfare and terror, Trotsky's rebel band departed with
twenty million dollars worth of gold, also provided by Jacob Schiff, on the
ship S.S. Kristianiafjord bound for Russia to wage the Bolshevik
revolution.
After the Bolshevik Revolution and the wholesale murder of the entire Russian
royal family, Standard Oil of New Jersey brought 50% of the huge Caucasus oil
field even though the property had theoretically been nationalized. In 1927,
Standard Oil of New York built a refinery in Russia. Then Standard Oil
concluded a deal to market Soviet Oil in Europe and floated a loan of $75
million to the Bolsheviks. Jacob Schiff and Paul Warburg at the Kuhn Loeb Bank
started a campaign for a central bank in the United States. They then helped
the Rothschild's to manipulate the financial Panic of 1907.
Then, the panic of 1907 was used as an argument for having a central bank to
prevent such occurrences. Paul Warburg told the Banking and Currency Committee:
'Let us have a national clearing house'."
The Federal Reserve Act was the brainchild of Baron Alfred Rothschild of
London. The final version of the Act was decided on at a secret meeting at
Jekyll Island Georgia, owned by J.P. Morgan. Present at the meeting were; A.
Piatt Andrew, Assistant secretary of the Treasury, Senator Nelson Aldrich,
Frank Vanderlip, President of Kuhn Loeb and Co., Henry Davidson, Senior Partner
of J.P. Morgan Bank, Charles Norton, President of Morgan's First National of
New York, Paul Warburg, Partner in Khun Loeb and Co. and Benjamin Strong,
President of Morgan's Bankers Trust Co.

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913, brought about the decimation of the U.S.
Constitution and was the determining act of the international financiers in
consolidating financial power in the United States. Pierre Jay, Initiated into
the "Order of Skull and Bones" in 1892, became the first Chairman of the New
York Federal Reserve Bank. A dozen members of the Federal Reserve can be linked
to the same "Order."
The Rothschilds operate out of an area in the heart of London, England, the
financial district, which is known as 'The City', or the 'Square Mile.' All
major British banks have their main offices here, along with branch offices for
385 foreign banks, including 70 from the United States. It is here that you
will find the Bank of England, the Stock Exchange, Lloyd's of London, the
Baltic Exchange (shipping contracts), Fleet Street (home of publishing and
newspaper interests), the London Commodity Exchange (to trade coffee, rubber,
sugar and wool), and the London Metal Exchange. It is virtually the financial
hub of the world.
What You Didn't Know
About Taxes & The 'Crown'
Positioned on the north bank of the Thames River, covering an area of 677
acres or one square mile (known as the "wealthiest square mile on earth"), it
has enjoyed special rights and privileges that enabled them to achieve a
certain level of independence since 1191. In 1215, its citizens received a
Charter from King John, granting them the right to annually elect a mayor
(known as the Lord Mayor), a tradition that continues today.
Des Griffin, in his book Descent into Slavery, described 'The City' as a
sovereign state (much like the Vatican), and that since the establishment of
the privately owned Bank of England in 1694, this financial center has actually
become the last word in England's national affairs. He contends that the
country is run by powers in 'the City' and that the throne, the prime minister,
and parliament are simply fronts for the real power. E. C. Knuth, in his book
Empire of the City, suggests that when the queen enters 'The City,' she is
subservient to the Lord Mayor (under him, is a committee of 12-14 men, known as
'The Crown'), because this privately-owned corporation is not subject to the
Queen, or the Parliament. The Rothschilds have traditionally chosen the Lord
mayor since 1820.
The last national election in the United States provided its citizenry with a
choice between two known members of a the same Satanic
cult. And even then, the outcome of this election has come under extreme
scrutiny. For further exploration into the 2004 Presidential election please

Global Banking: the Bank for International Settlements
By Patrick Wood | newswithviews.com
Preface
When David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski founded the Trilateral Commission
in 1973, the intent was to create a "New International Economic Order" (NIEO). To
this end, they brought together 300 elite corporate, political and academic
leaders from North America, Japan and Europe.
Few people believed us when we wrote about their nefarious plans back then.
Now, we look back and clearly see that they did what they said they were going to
do... globalism is upon us like an 8.6 magnitude earthquake.
The question is, "How did they do it?" Keep in mind, they had no public
mandate from any country in the world. They didn't have the raw political muscle,
especially in democratic countries where voting is allowed. They didn't have
global dictatorial powers.
Indeed, how did they do it?
The answer is the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), self-described as
the "central bank for central bankers", that controls the vast global banking
system with the precision of a Swiss watch.
This report offers a concise summation of BIS history, structure and current
activities.
It is not surprising that the BIS, its offices, employees,
directors and members share an incredible immunity from virtually all
regulation, scrutiny and accountability.
Introduction
The famous currency expert Dr. Franz Pick once stated, "The destiny of the
currency is, and always will be, the destiny of a nation."
With the advent of rampant globalization, this concept can certainly be given
a global context as well: "The destiny of currencies are, and always will be, the
destiny of the world."
Even though the BIS is the oldest international banking operation in the
world, it is a low profile organization, shunning all publicity and notoriety. As
a result, there is very little critical analysis written about this important
financial organization. Further, much of what has been written about it is
tainted by its own self-effacing literature.
The BIS can be compared to a stealth bomber. It flies high and fast, is
undetected, has a small crew and carries a huge payload. By contrast, however,
the bomber answers to a chain of command and must be refueled by outside sources.
The BIS, as we shall see, is not accountable to any public authority and operates
with complete autonomy and self-sufficiency.
Leading up to Founding
As we will see, the BIS was founded in 1930 during a very troubled time in
history. Some knowledge of that history is critical to understanding why the BIS
was created, and for whose benefit.
There are three figures that play prominently in the founding of the BIS:
Charles G. Dawes, Owen D. Young and Hjalmar Schacht of Germany.
Charles G. Dawes was director of the U.S. Bureau of the Budget in 1921, and
served on the Allied Reparations Commission starting in 1923. His latter work on
"stabilizing Germany's economy" earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1925. After
being elected Vice President under President Calvin Coolidge from 1925-1929, and
appointed Ambassador to England in 1931, he resumed his personal banking career
in 1932 as chairman of the board of the City National Bank and Trust in Chicago,
where he remained until his death in 1951.
Owen D Young was an American industrialist. He founded RCA (Radio Corporation
of America) in1919 and was its chairman until 1933. He also served as the
chairman of General Electric from 1922 until 1939. In 1932, Young sought the
democratic presidential nomination, but lost to Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
More on Hjalmar Schacht later.
In the aftermath of World War I and the impending collapse of the German
economy and political structure, a plan was needed to rescue and restore Germany,
which would also insulate other economies in Europe from being affected
adversely.
The Versailles Treaty of 1919 (which officially ended WWI) had imposed a very
heavy reparations burden on Germany, which required a repayment schedule of 132
billion gold marks per year. Most historians agree that the economic upheaval
caused in Germany by the Versailles Treaty eventually led to Adolph Hitler's rise
to power.
In 1924 the Allies appointed a committee of international bankers, led by
Charles G. Dawes (and accompanied by J.P. Morgan agent, Owen Young), to develop a
plan to get reparations payments back on track. Historian Carroll Quigley noted
that the Dawes Plan was "largely a J.P. Morgan production"[1] The plan called for
$800 million in foreign loans to be arranged for Germany in order to rebuild its
economy.
In 1924, Dawes was chairman of the Allied Committee of Experts, hence, the
"Dawes Plan." He was replaced as chairman by Owen Young in 1929, with direct
support by J.P. Morgan. The "Young Plan" of 1928 put more teeth into the Dawes
Plan, which many viewed as a strategy to subvert virtually all German assets to
back a huge mortgage held by the United States bankers.
Neither Dawes nor Young represented anything more than banking interests.
After all, WWI was fought by governments using borrowed money made possible by
the international banking community. The banks had a vested interest in having
those loans repaid!
In 1924, the president of Reichsbank (Germany's central bank at that time) was
Hjalmar Schacht. He had already had a prominent role in creating the Dawes Plan,
along with German industrialist Fritz Thyssen and other prominent German bankers
and industrialists.
The Young Plan was so odious to the Germans that many credit it as a
precondition to Hitler's rise to power. Fritz Thyssen, a leading Nazi
Industrialist, stated
"I turned to the National socialist party only after I became convinced that
the fight against the Young Plan was unavoidable if complete collapse of
Germany was to be prevented." [2]
Some historians too quickly credit Owen Young as the idea-man for the Bank for
International Settlements. It was actually Hjalmar Schacht who first proposed the
idea[3], which was then carried forward by the same group of international
bankers who brought us the Dawes and Young Plans.
It is not necessary to jump to conclusions as to the intent of these elite
bankers, so we will instead defer to the insight of renowned Georgetown
historian, Carroll Quigley:
"The Power of financial capitalism had another far reaching plan, nothing less
than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to
dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a
whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalistic fashion by the central
banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in
frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank
for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and
controlled by the world's central banks, which were themselves private
corporations. Each central bank, in the hands of men like Montagu Norman of
the Bank of England, Benjamin Strong of the New York Federal Reserve Bank,
Charles Rist of the Bank of France, and Hjalmar Schacht of the Reichsbank,
sought to dominate its government by its ability to control treasury loans, to
manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in
the country, and to influence co-operative politicians by subsequent rewards in
the business world."[4] [Bold emphasis added]
So here we have a brief sketch of what led up to the founding of the BIS. Now
we can examine the nuts and bolts of how the BIS was actually put together.
The Hague Agreement of 1930
The formation of the BIS was agreed upon by its constituent central banks in the
so-called Hague Agreement on January 20, 1930, and was in operation shortly
thereafter. According to the Agreement,
The duly authorised representatives of the Governments of Germany, of Belgium,
of France, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, of
Italy and of Japan of the one part; And the duly authorised representatives of
the Government of the Swiss Confederation of the other part Assembled at the
Hague Conference in the month of January, 1930, have agreed on the
following:
Article 1. Switzerland undertakes to grant to the Bank for International
Settlements, without delay, the following Constituent Charter having force of
law: not to abrogate this Charter, not to amend or add to it, and not to
sanction amendments to the Statutes of the Bank referred to in Paragraph 4 of
the Charter otherwise than in agreement with the other signatory
Governments.[5]
As we will see, German reparation payments (or lack thereof) had little to do
with the founding of the BIS, although this is the weak explanation given since
its founding. Of course, Germany would make a single payment to the BIS, which in
turn would deposit the funds into the respective central bank accounts of the
nations to whom payments were due. (It would be the subject of another paper to
show the shallowness of this operation: Money and gold were shuffled around, but
the net amount that Germany actually paid was very small.)
The original founding documents of the BIS have little to say about Germany,
however, and we can look directly to the BIS itself to see its original
purpose:
“The objects of the Bank are: to promote the co-operation of central
banks and to provide additional facilities for international operations; and to
act as trustees or agent in regard to international financial settlements
entrusted to it under agreements with the parties concerned.” [6]
Virtually every in-print reference to the BIS, including their own documents,
consistently refer to it as "the central banker's central bank."
So, the BIS was established by an international charter and was headquartered
in Basle, Switzerland.
BIS Ownership
According to James C. Baker, pro-BIS author of The Bank for International
Settlements: Evolution and Evaluation, "The BIS was formed with funding by the
central banks of six nations, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the
United Kingdom. In addition, three private international banks from the United
States also assisted in financing the establishment of the BIS."[7]
Each nation's central bank subscribed to 16,000 shares. The U.S. central bank,
the Federal Reserve, did not join the BIS, but the three U.S. banks that
participated got 16,000 shares each. Thus, U.S. representation at the BIS was
three times that of any other nation. Who were these private banks? Not
surprisingly, they were J.P. Morgan & Company, First National Bank of New
York and First National Bank of Chicago.
On January 8, 2001, an Extraordinary General Meeting of the BIS approved a
proposal that restricted ownership of BIS shares to central banks. Some 13.7% of
all shares were in private hands at that time, and the repurchase was
accomplished with a cash outlay of $724,956,050. The price of $10,000 per share
was over twice the book value of $4,850.
It is not certain what the repurchase accomplished. The BIS claimed that it
was to correct a conflict of interest between private shareholders and BIS goals,
but it offered no specifics. It was not a voting issue, however, because private
owners were not allowed to vote their shares.[8]
Sovereignty and Secrecy
It is not surprising that the BIS, its offices, employees, directors and members
share an incredible immunity from virtually all regulation, scrutiny and
accountability.
In 1931, central bankers and their constituents were fed up with government
meddling in world financial affairs. Politicians were viewed mostly with
contempt, unless it was one of their own who was the politician. Thus, the BIS
offered them a once-and-for-all opportunity to set up the "apex" the way they
really wanted it -- private. They demanded these conditions and got what they
demanded.
A quick summary of their immunity, explained further below, includes
- diplomatic immunity for persons and what they carry with them (i.e.,
diplomatic pouches)
- no taxation on any transactions, including salaries paid to
employees
- embassy-type immunity for all buildings and/or offices operated by the
BIS
- no oversight or knowledge of operations by any government authority
- freedom from immigration restrictions
- freedom to encrypt any and all communications of any sort
- freedom from any legal jurisdiction[9]
Further, members of the BIS board of directors (for instance, Alan Greenspan)
are individually granted special benefits:
- “immunity from arrest or imprisonment and immunity from seizure of
their personal baggage, save in flagrant cases of criminal
offence;”
- “inviolability of all papers and documents;”
- “immunity from jurisdiction, even after their mission has been
accomplished, for acts carried out in the discharge of their duties,
including words spoken and writings;”
- “exemption for themselves, their spouses and children from any
immigration restrictions, from any formalities concerning the registration of
aliens and from any obligations relating to national service in Switzerland
;”
- “the right to use codes in official communications or to receive or
send documents or correspondence by means of couriers or diplomatic
bags.”[10]
Lastly, all remaining officials and employees of the BIS have the following
immunities:
- “immunity from jurisdiction for acts accomplished in the discharge
of their duties, including words spoken and writings, even after such
persons have ceased to be Officials of the Bank;”[bold emphasis
added]
- “exemption from all Federal, cantonal and communal taxes on
salaries, fees and allowances paid to them by the Bank…”
- exempt from Swiss national obligations, freedom for spouses and family
members from immigration restrictions, transfer assets and properties –
including internationally – with the same degree of benefit as
Officials of other international organizations.[11]
Of course, a corporate charter can say anything it wants to say and still be
subject to outside authorities. Nevertheless, these were the immunities practiced
and enjoyed from 1930 onward. On February 10, 1987, a more formal acknowledgement
called the "Headquarters Agreement" was executed between the BIS and the Swiss
Federal Council and basically clarified and reiterated what we already knew:
Article 2
Inviolability
- The buildings or parts of buildings and surrounding land which,
whoever may be the owner thereof, are used for the purposes of the Bank shall
be inviolable. No agent of the Swiss public authorities may enter therein
without the express consent of the Bank. Only the President, the General
Manager of the Bank, or their duly authorised representative shall be
competent to waive such inviolability.
- The archives of the Bank and, in general, all documents and any data
media belonging to the Bank or in its possession, shall be inviolable at all
times and in all places.
- The Bank shall exercise supervision of and police power over its
premises.
Article 4
Immunity from jurisdiction and execution
- The Bank shall enjoy immunity from criminal and administrative
jurisdiction, save to the extent that such immunity is formally waived in
individual cases by the President, the General Manager of the Bank, or their
duly authorised representative.
- The assets of the Bank may be subject to measures of compulsory execution
for enforcing monetary claims. On the other hand, all deposits entrusted
to the Bank, all claims against the Bank and the shares issued by the Bank
shall, without the prior agreement of the Bank, be immune from seizure or
other measures of compulsory execution and sequestration, particularly of
attachment within the meaning of Swiss law. [12][bold emphasis
added]
As you can see, the BIS, its directors and employees (past and present) can do
virtually anything and everything they want, with complete secrecy, immunity and
with no one looking over their shoulders. It was truly a banker's dream come
true, and it paved the international freeway for the rampant financial globalism
that we see manifest today. Don't miss the stunning conclusion!

Global Banking: the Bank for International Settlements - Part 2 of 2
Article 21 of the original BIS statutes define day-to-day operations:
- buying and selling of gold coin or bullion for its own account or for the
account of central banks;
- holding gold for its own account under reserve in central banks;
- accepting the supervision of gold for the account of central banks;
- making advances to or borrowing from central banks against gold, bills of
exchange, and other short-term obligations of prime liquidity or other
approved securities;
- discounting, rediscounting, purchasing, or selling with or without its
endorsement bills of exchange, checks, and other short-term obligations of
prime liquidity;
- buying and selling foreign exchange for its own account or for the
account of central banks;
- buying and selling negotiable securities other than shares for its own
account or for the account of central banks;
- discounting for central banks bills taken from their portfolio and
rediscounting with central banks bills taken from its own portfolio;
- opening and maintaining current or deposit accounts with central
banks;
- accepting deposits from central banks on current or deposit
account;
- accepting deposits in connection with trustee agreements that may be made
between the BIS and governments in connection with international
settlements.;
- accepting such other deposits that, as in the opinion of the Board of the
BIS, come within the scope of the BIS’ functions. [1]
The BIS also may
- act as agent or correspondent for any central bank
- arrange with any central bank for the latter to act as its agent or
correspondent;
- enter into agreements to act as trustee or agent in connection with
international settlements, provided that such agreements will not encroach on
the obligations of the BIS toward any third parties. [2]
Why is "agency" an important issue? Because any member of the network can
obscure transactions from onlookers. For instance, if Brown Brothers, Harriman
wanted to transfer money to a company in Nazi Germany during WWII (which was not
"politically correct" at that time), they would first transfer the funds to the
BIS thus putting the transaction under the cloak of secrecy and immunity that is
enjoyed by the BIS but not by Brown Brothers, Harriman. (Such laundering of Wall
Street money was painstakingly noted in Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler, by
Antony C. Sutton.)
There are a few things that the BIS cannot do. For instance, it does not
accept deposits from, or provide financial services to, private individuals or
corporate entities. It is also not permitted to make advances to governments or
open current accounts in their name. [3] These restrictions are easily understood
when one considers that each central bank has an exclusive franchise to loan
money to their respective government. For instance, the U.S. Federal Reserve does
not loan money to the government of Canada. In like manner, central banks do not
loan money directly to the private or corporate clients of their member
banks.
How Decisions are Made
The board of directors consist of the heads of certain member central banks.
Currently, these are:
Nout H E M Wellink, Amsterdam (Chairman of the Board of Directors)
Hans Tietmeyer, Frankfurt am Main (Vice-Chairman)
Axel Weber, Frankfurt am Main
Vincenzo Desario, Rome
Antonio Fazio, Rome
David Dodge, Ottawa Toshihiko Fukui,
Tokyo Timothy F Geithner, New York
Alan Greenspan, Washington
Lord George, London
Hervé Hannoun, Paris
Christian Noyer, Paris
Lars Heikensten, Stockholm
Mervyn King, London
Guy Quaden, Brussels
Jean-Pierre Roth, Zürich
Alfons Vicomte Verplaetse, Brussels [4]
Of these, five members ( Canada, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden and
Switzerland) are currently elected by the shareholders. The majority of directors
are "ex officio," meaning they are permanent and are automatically a part of any
sub-committee.
The combined board meets at least six times per year, in secret, and is
briefed by BIS management on financial operations of the bank. Global monetary
policy is discussed and set at these meetings.
It was reported in 1983 that there is an inner club of the half dozen central
bankers who are more or less in the same monetary boat: Germany, U.S.,
Switzerland, Italy, Japan and England. [5] The existence of an inner club is
neither surprising nor substantive: the whole BIS operation is 100% secret
anyway. It is not likely that members of the inner club have significantly
different beliefs or agendas apart from the BIS as a whole.
How the BIS works with the IMF and the World Bank
The interoperation between the three entities is understandably confusing to
most people, so a little clarification will help.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) interacts with governments whereas the
BIS interacts only with other central banks. The IMF loans money to national
governments, and often these countries are in some kind of fiscal or monetary
crisis. Furthermore, the IMF raises money by receiving "quota" contributions from
its 184 member countries. Even though the member countries may borrow money to
make their quota contributions, it is, in reality, all tax-payer money. [6]
The World Bank also lends money and has 184 member countries. Within the World
Bank are two separate entities, the International Bank for Reconstruction and
Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA). The IBRD
focuses on middle income and credit-worthy poor countries, while the IDA focuses
on the poorest of nations. In funding itself, the World Bank borrows money by
direct lending from banks and by floating bond issues, and then loans this money
through IBRD and IDA to troubled countries. [7]
The BIS, as central bank to the other central banks, facilitates the movement
of money. They are well-known for issuing "bridge loans" to central banks in
countries where IMF or World Bank money is pledged but has not yet been
delivered. These bridge loans are then repaid by the respective governments when
they receive the funds that had been promised by the IMF or World Bank. [8]
The IMF is the BIS' "ace in the hole" when monetary crisis hits. The 1998
Brazil currency crisis was caused by that country's inability to pay inordinate
accumulated interest on loans made over a protracted period of time. These loans
were extended by banks like Citigroup, J.P. Morgan Chase and FleetBoston, and
they stood to lose a huge amount of money.
The IMF, along with the World Bank and the U.S., bailed out Brazil with a
$41.5 billion package that saved Brazil, its currency and, not incidentally,
certain private banks.
Congressman Bernard Sanders (I-VT), ranking member of the International
Monetary Policy and Trade Subcommittee, blew the whistle on this money laundry
operation. Sander's entire congressional press release is worth reading:
IMF Bailout for Brazil is Windfall to Banks, Disaster for US Taxpayers Says
Sanders
BURLINGTON, VERMONT - August 15 - Congressman Bernard Sanders (I-VT), the
Ranking Member of the International Monetary Policy and Trade Subcommittee,
today called for an immediate Congressional investigation of the recent $30
billion International Monetary Fund (IMF) bailout of Brazil.
Sanders, who is strongly opposed to the bailout and considers it corporate
welfare, wants Congress to find out why U.S. taxpayers are being asked to
provide billions of dollars to Brazil and how much of this money will be
funneled to U.S. banks such as Citigroup, FleetBoston and J.P. Morgan
Chase. These banks have about $25.6 billion in outstanding loans to
Brazilian borrowers. U.S. taxpayers currently fund the IMF through a $37
billion line of credit.
Sanders said, "At a time when we have a $6 trillion national debt, a growing
federal deficit, and an increasing number of unmet social needs for our
veterans, seniors, and children, it is unacceptable that billions of U.S.
taxpayer dollars are being sent to the IMF to bailout Brazil."
"This money is not going to significantly help the poor people of that
country. The real winners in this situation are the large, profitable U.S.
banks such as Citigroup that have made billions of dollars in risky investments
in Brazil and now want to make sure their investments are repaid. This
bailout represents an egregious form of corporate welfare that must be put to
an end. Interestingly, these banks have made substantial campaign contributions
to both political parties," the Congressman added.
Sanders noted that the neo-liberal policies of the IMF developed in the
1980's pushing countries towards unfettered free trade, privatization, and
slashing social safety nets has been a disaster for Latin America and has
contributed to increased global poverty throughout the world. At the same time
that Latin America countries such as Brazil and Argentina followed these
neo-liberal dictates imposed by the IMF, from 1980-2000, per capita income in
Latin America grew at only one-tenth the rate of the previous two decades.
Sanders continued, "The policies of the IMF over the past 20 years
advocating unfettered free trade, privatizing industry, deregulation and
slashing government investments in health, education, and pensions has been a
complete failure for low income and middle class families in the developing
world and in the United States . Clearly, these policies have only helped
corporations in their constant search for the cheapest labor and weakest
environmental regulations. Congress must work on a new global policy that
protects workers, increases living standards and improves the environment."
One can surmise that a financial circle exists where the World Bank helps
nations get into debt, then when these countries can't pay their massive loans,
the IMF bails them out with taxpayer money -- and in the middle stands the BIS,
collecting fees as the money travels back and forth like the ocean tide, while
assuring everyone that all is well.
BIS dumps gold-backed Swiss Francs for SDR's
On March 10, 2003, the BIS abandoned the Swiss gold franc as the bank's unit
of account since 1930, and replaced it with the SDR.
SDR stands for Special Drawing Rights and is a unit of currency originally
created by the IMF. According to Baker,
"The SDR is an international reserve asset, created by the IMF in 1969 to
supplement the existing official reserves of member countries. SDR's are
allocated to member countries in proportion to their IMF quotas. The SDR also
serves as the unit of account of the IMF and some other international
organizations. Its value is based on a basket of key international currencies."
[9]
This "basket" currently consists of the euro, Japanese yen, pound sterling and
the U.S. dollar.
The BIS abandonment of the 1930 gold Swiss franc removed all restraint from
the creation of paper money in the world. In other words, gold backs no national
currency, leaving the central banks a wide-open field to create money as they
alone see fit. Remember, that almost all the central banks in the world are
privately-held entities, with an exclusive franchise to arrange loans for their
respective host countries.
Regional and Global Currencies: SDR's, Euros and Ameros
There is no doubt that the BIS is moving the world toward regional currencies
and ultimately, a global currency. The global currency could well be an evolution
of the SDR, and may explain why the BIS recently adopted the SDR as its primary
reserve currency.
The Brandt Equation, 21st Century Blueprint for the New Global Economy notes,
for instance, that
Since the SDR is the world's only means of meeting international payments that
has been authorized through international contract, "The SDR therefore
represents a clear first step towards a stable and permanent international
currency" [10] [bold emphasis added]
As to regional currencies, the BIS has already been hugely successful in
launching the euro in Europe. Armed with new technical and social know-how, the
BIS' next logical step is to focus on America and Asia.
For instance, according to BIS Papers No. 17, Regional currency areas and the
use of foreign currencies,
"Canada, Mexico and the United States are members of the trade group NAFTA.
Given the high proportion of Canada and Mexico’s trade with the United
States, a NAFTA dollar or “Amero” has been proposed by some
Canadian academics such as Grubel (1999). See also Beine and Coulombe (2002)
and Robson and Laidler (2002)." [11]
Assuming that NAFTA permanently identifies Canada, the U.S. and Mexico as one
trading block, then North America will look like the European Union and the Amero
will function like the Euro. All of the work put into the SDR would be perfectly
preserved by simply substituting the Amero for the U.S. dollar when they choose
to bring the Amero to ascendancy over the dollar.
For those American readers who do not grasp the significance of the adoption
of the euro by European Union countries, consider how one American globalist
describes it.
C. Fred Bergsten is a prominent and core Trilateral Commission member and head
of the Institute for International Economics. On January 3, 1999, Bergsten wrote
in the Washington Post
"The adoption of a common currency is by far the boldest chapter of European
integration. Money traditionally has been an integral element of national
sovereignty ...and the decision by Germany and France to give up their mark and
franc ...represents the most dramatic voluntary surrender of sovereignty in
recorded history. The European Central Bank that will manage the euro is a
truly supranational institution". [12] [bold emphasis added]
Bergsten will have to rephrase this when the U.S. gives up the dollar for the
amero -- that will become the most dramatic voluntary surrender of sovereignty in
recorded history!
"For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the
political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the
Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over
American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part
of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States,
characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with
others around the world to build a more integrated global political and
economic structure - one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand
guilty, and I am proud of it." - David Rockefeller Memoirs, 2002
Conclusions
Our credo is "Follow the money, follow the power." This report has endeavored
to follow the money. We find that:
- The BIS is central bank to all major central banks in the world
- It is privately owned by central banks themselves, most of whom are also
private
- It was founded under questionable circumstances by questionable
people
- It is accountable to no one, especially government bodies
- It operates in complete secrecy and is inviolable
- Movement of money is obscured and hidden when routed through the BIS
- The BIS is targeting regional currency blocks and ultimately, a global
currency
- It has been hugely successful at building the New International Economic
Order, along with its attendant initiatives on global governance.
As to "follow the power," another paper will more fully explore the influence
of power that the BIS exerts over other banks, nations and governments. For your
own consideration in the meantime, Proverbs 22:7 provides a useful compass: "The
rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender".

BIS Calls For Global Currency
Nazi bankrollers want elimination of national sovereignty for world cashless
control grid
by Paul Joseph Watson/
Prison Planet.com | February 21 2006
The scandal-ridden and highly secretive Bank For International Settlements,
considered to be the world's top central banking policy, has released a policy
paper that calls for the end of national currencies in favor of a global model of
currency formats.
The BIS is a branch of the of the Bretton-Woods International Financial
architecture and closely allied with the Bilderberg Group. It is controlled by an
inner elite that represents all the world's major central banking institutions.
John Maynard Keynes, perhaps the most influential economist of all time, wanted
it closed down as it was used to launder money for the
Nazis in World War II.
Buried in a
London Telegraph report on UK inflation rates is the admission that the BIS,
"has also suggested ditching many national currencies in favour of a small number
of formal currency blocks based on the dollar, euro and renminbi or yen."
Centralized control of currency is a keystone pillar in the construction of
global government.
The eventual goal is a cashless
society credit system based on a worldwide citizen ID. Those designated as
subversives or security threats will have their credit entitlement reduced and
restrictions will be placed on when and what they can buy or sell. A world tax
will be levied on all purchases.
In the meantime new denominations of paper money will be tracked and traced.
Euro notes come with RFID tags
as standard and the same feature is being
incorporated into newly designed US dollar notes.
Last month the United Nations made
a promise to save the world from all its ills in return for complete
elimination of national sovereignty and financial markets and their replacement
by a proxy world government.
The so-called 'conservative Bush administration have done everything in their
power to destroy the last vestiges of American sovereignty, including increasing
deficit spending beyond the level of all previous 42 administrations put
together, signing legislation anathema to the Constitution, promoting global
government and anti-American trade deals like CAFTA and the FTAA, and attempting
to 'solve' the illegal immigration problem by enacting blanket amnesty.
