Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is the most informative and disturbing book I have ever read. It appears to be extremely well researched and documented, though I didn’t check out the accuracy of the footnotes. Some takeaways: (1) The Rothschilds, the Morgans, the Rockefellers, and a few others, control this country, most of its media and its significant politicians, through their control of a cartel deceptively called the Federal Reserve System. (2) The same Rothschilds, and others, control other major economic powers through parallel control of their central banks, media, and politicians. (3) Despite our “Founding Fathers’” vehement opposition to any central bank or government-issued paper money, their efforts to ban it constitutionally have been circumvented. (4) Politicians, with few exceptions, cannot resist the appeal of being able to issue “fiat” (not backed by anything of value, therefore being able to be produced in ever expanding masses until that particular economy eventually collapses) money, because it seems much less painful than levying taxes, and virtually none of their electorate realize that its issuance enables the politicians to spend much more than they could ever raise through taxation while at the same time reducing the value of the citizens’ savings, salaries, pensions, etc. (5) “Fractional reserves” enable banks to loan out close to 10 times the value of their real assets, dramatically increasing the amount of ever-increasing currency in circulation and proportionately cheapening its currency (therefore up to 10 times the country’s recently doubled national debt), and to earn interest on each of those multiples loaned. (6) The Rothschilds and their fellow collaborators have learned that nothing inspires a country to engage in the massive issuance of fiat money like war, and they have therefore helped develop and funded “enemy” powers where none existed, then fostered wars among them, then financed both sides of those wars, then used their control of media to entice the ignorant public into believing in those wars, and reaped huge spoils from those wars, not only in interest on loans, but in lucrative commercial monopolies received for their troubles. (7) Groups of greedy (understatement) “idealists” (of which Cecil Rhodes may be considered a prime initiator) began before World War I working toward a single, socialist/communist autocratic world government which would impose the wonders of the elitist British culture on all the world (including the Fabians and, in the US, members of the Council on Foreign Relations) which they, of course, would control. (8) The economic and military strength of the US makes it difficult to subjugate to such a plan, so they need it (through its banks) to, i.a., make massive “loans” (with no expectation of principal repayment but with government [US taxpayers] guarantees) to less affluent countries, thereby dramatically economically and militarily weakening the US while distributing its wealth (on which they collect interest) to the less developed nations with examples like the US’s recent funding of Mexican drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico, and Brazil’s drilling for oil off its coast, while refusing to allow US drilling in the Gulf for “environmental” reasons, and blocking two pipelines that would have been environmentally far safer and better for the US economy and national security. Of course, this should be required reading in every high school and college, but then, consider the odds that such an idea would even be considered in the US “academic” institutions of today. I just went back and skimmed the 1-star and 2-star reviews, looking for a scholarly refutation of the author's arguments and analysis,. A few said they disagreed, or that the author Cherry picked, but offered nothing more. If all this we're refutable, wouldn't someone have done so?
