The US Civil War - The War of
Financial Disobedience
By
Larry Romanoff, March 17, 2023
Contrary
to popular belief, the US civil war was not about slavery but about political
and financial control of the US, primarily due to repeated American refusals of
Rothschild's demand to create a privately-owned Central Bank. There is more
than ample evidence that the severe divisions within the country which led to
the American civil war were deliberately inflicted upon the US by these same
European bankers, who were fulfilling their warning delivered more than ten
years earlier that financial disobedience would be punished by the crafting and
imposition of a civil war. Their plan, which came within a hair of succeeding,
was "to exploit the question of slavery and thus to dig an abyss between
the two parts of the Republic", thereby throwing the new nation into a
bitter civil war with the intent of destroying a strong debt-free nation and
ending with two republics, each weak and debt-ridden, and therefore
easily-controlled. Germany’s Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck claimed the
Jewish European bankers were responsible for the American Civil War, stating
"The division of the United States was decided by the high financial
powers of Europe", and van Helsing wrote "The reasons
leading to this civil war were almost completely due to the Rothschild
agents", one of whom was George Bickly who was instrumental in
persuading the Confederate States of the advantages of secession from the
Union, thereby directly precipitating the American civil war.
The
standard narrative in American history books tells us the US Civil War was
about slavery and was fought to free the slaves, but in truth the civil war had
nothing to do with slavery, and in fact the Crittenden Resolution [1] made
clear before any shots were fired that "established institutions"
like slavery would not be affected by the war's eventual outcome. It is true
many in the South resented the financial control by New York bankers skimming
off much of the profits from the slave and cotton trades in the South, and
hoped to end those predatory financial relationships by seceding from the
American union. However, even though the war was fought partially for the profits
of slavery, their purpose was political and financial, not moral, simply a
grand opportunity to keep the immense wealth from slavery closer to home. And
while this was in a sense the casus belli, the participants were merely playing
a pre-programmed part in a war imposed upon them by people with very different
ambitions. In any case, the bankers did succeed in their incitement to
violence, and the Civil War was unleashed on the US, with the Jewish London
bankers backing the Union and the Jewish French bankers backing the South.
Everyone made a fortune and by 1861 the US was $100 million in debt.
Several
events occurred that were of great importance to the outcome of civil war. One
was that in spite of all the Jewish financing of the South, the North, under
Lincoln's leadership, was winning, and there was a point when the outcome was
no longer in doubt. At that point, the Rothschilds cut off all war financing to
Lincoln, decidedly altering the prognosis. Actually, they didn't quite cut
off the funds, but raised the interest rate to, if I recall correctly, 29%, an
impossibly prohibitive and unaffordable rate and, by that one act, dooming the
Union of the United States of America. The North, now unable to finance the
war, would certainly lose, and the bankers would have their two weak nations to
replace the single strong one. But Lincoln was no fool. Instead of succumbing
to these machinations he snubbed the Rothschilds by issuing his own US
government currency popularly known as Greenbacks [2] to
pay Union Army bills without incurring debt to the bankers. At
the time, the Rothschild-controlled Times of London wrote:
"If
that mischievous policy, which had its origins in the North American Republic,
should become indurated down to a fixture, then that Government will furnish
its own money without cost. It will pay off its debts and be without debt. It
will have all the money necessary to carry on its commerce. It will become
prosperous beyond precedent in the history of the civilized governments of the
world. The brains and the wealth of all countries will go to North America. That
government must be destroyed, or it will destroy every monarchy on the
globe."
Émile Erlanger
After
this, the tide shifted yet again, and a Northern victory was no longer in
doubt, but the Rothschilds didn't give up easily, and pursued their desired
destruction. In March of 1863, they supplied a Jewish banker named Emile
Erlanger [3]
with yet another $7 million to lend to the South (perhaps $150 million in
today's currency), suddenly giving the Confederacy yet again sufficient funds
to pay their troops and purchase ammunition and continue the war. There was no
question that a surrender was imminent without this sudden infusion of cash.
This huge extra investment by the Rothschilds did not alter the eventual course
of the war, but it did extend the battles for perhaps two years, resulting in
hundreds of thousands of extra needless deaths. It should be noted that this is
a typical pattern; the First and Second World Wars were needlessly extended in
this same way, for purely political considerations by the same bankers,
resulting in additional tens of millions of needless and senseless deaths. It
isn't widely known, but Hitler at one point had clearly won the Second World
War, with Britain penniless, beaten and on the ropes, when Hitler offered
England a 'draw', an end to the war with no reparations and everything to
remain as it was prior to the hostilities. But the Jewish bankers needed a
British victory in order to obtain Palestine for a homeland, and schemed to
bring the US into the war on Britain's side. That did change the result, but
tens of millions of lives were sacrificed for the creation of Israel.
During
the war, Lincoln had ordered a blockade of cotton in an attempt to reduce
Southern financing for their war of secession, but there were so many Jewish
merchants smuggling the valuable cotton out of the South that General Grant
ordered the expulsion of all Jews from the entire Southern region. The Jews
were so much engaged in profiteering in the South during the war, and thereby
directly financing the continuation of the civil war, that Lincoln declared the
B'nai B'rith, the primary Jewish organisation of the day, as a
"disloyal organization" that was "helping the traitors" of
America. At the same time, Salomon de Rothschild [4] John Coleman -
Rothschild Dynasty, a member of the
Rothschilds banking house, came to America, declared himself a "Staunch
Slavery Man", and encouraged all Jews to assist the South in its
attempt to secede from the union.
Izola Forrester, 1898, granddaughter of John Wilkes Booth
In
1863, the US Congress passed the National Banking Act that reinstated the
Rothschild's privately-owned US central bank, but Lincoln was re-elected
President the following year and, cursing this bank, vowed to repeal the act as
soon as he took his oath of office. Of course, before he had a chance to act,
he was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, a man with major connections
to the same Jewish bankers. His granddaughter wrote a book titled 'This One
Mad Act', [5] which
documented Booth’s contact with some "mysterious Europeans" just before his assassination of President Lincoln.
Judah P. Benjamin
One
interesting note emerging from the Civil War: Erlanger provided his financing
through a Jewish lawyer and slaveowner from Louisiana named Judah P.
Benjamin[6], who
was the Vice President of the Confederacy as well as its Secretary of War.
After losing the war, Benjamin fled the US, taking with him thousands of bales
of cotton to finance his life in exile. But the exile was brief. He returned to
the US and, with a few friends named Albert Pike - he of the Masonic
Lodges, Jesse James, William Quantrill and Frank Dalton, formed a new
organisation called the Ku Klux Klan, one of the world's great terrorist
organisations that spent decades murdering, hanging, burning alive, and
otherwise afflicting blacks. [7]
In
2012, Steven Spielberg, the movie director (and master of American
and Jewish propaganda), produced a movie on the US Civil War
titled "Lincoln", which was an unforgivably distorted
portrayal of Lincoln, of slavery, and especially of the American civil war, an
offensively false and mythical portrayal of the true facts. As one columnist
noted, Spielberg's movie "had too many negroes and too few Jews".
The upshot is that tens of millions of gullible Americans will take with them
to their graves a totally and absolutely false understanding of a critical
period in their nation's history. This uniquely Hollywood process has always
been obvious to citizens of other nations, with volumes of historical lies
and misrepresentations irresponsibly presented as historical truth, this
massive revisionism generally done with political motivation, to sanitise the
truth and Photoshop various individuals or groups out of the picture and out of
history.
