OVERLORDS OF MONEY

OVERLORDS OF MONEY

THE TRIUMPH OF THE MONEYLENDERS AND THE COMING WORLD ORDER

"World events do not occur by accident. They are made to happen, and most of them are staged and managed by those who hold the purse strings."

Denis Healey, British Labour Party minister and Member of Parliament 1952-1992

GLOBAL FINANCIAL OLIGARCHY AND WAR

"The goal of the wars is to enable the economy to be kept going for the benefit of the High, its military, and its bureaucracy and control personnel, but at the same time to assure that any excess production capacity is prevented from producing consumer goods for the lower classes. That excess capacity is instead directed to producing excess military goods which will ultimately rust away or be destroyed in warfare; that is, the excess capacity is deliberately wasted in order to turn it away from the production of goods which would result in added leisure or well-being for the lower classes. Those classes are instead continually forced into group activities expressing hatred toward the current enemy and dependency upon and love toward their benevolent rulers for protecting them from that enemy. They are thereby led to accept the consumer shortages, the poverty, and the other privations to which they are subjected. Their economic status is kept at the subsistence level, forcing their priorities to be focused on simply acquiring basic food, clothing, and shelter. They are thus denied either the time or the inclination to question the fairness or permanence of their societal condition, or to otherwise evolve into a threat to the established hierarchy."

George Orwell in his book "1984"

"Wars are created with the single target to make more money and have more power. Only war can make great profits. Thus, out of the financial boardrooms, WWI, WWII, the Korean war, Vietnam war, Cold War, Iran-Iraq war, Balkan war, Libyan war and the Middle East wars were created."

"No government or king would consider going to war without the Rothschilds supporting them because that was how incredibly influential and powerful they had become."

Dame Hannah Rothschild in a CNBC interview in Singapore, November 19, 2025

"Over 400 years ago, the Florentine statesman Niccolo Machiavelli engaged in a profound study of methods used by various rulers to attain power... The findings of Machiavelli and other students of power decree that to ' obtain power it is essential to ignore the moral laws of man and of God; that promises must be made only with the intention to deceive arid to mislead others to sacrifice their own interests; that the most brutal atrocity must be committed as a matter of mere convenience; that friends or allies must be betrayed as matter of course as soon as they have served their purpose. But, it is also decreed that these atrocities must be kept hidden from the common people except only where they are of use to strike terror to the hearts of opponents; that there must be kept up a spurious aspect of benevolence and benefit for the greater number of the people, and even an aspect of humility to gain as much help as possible.
According to Machiavelli, war must be applied at almost regular intervals to maintain power. It is held that it is not an unforeseeable accident and that it is not a passing madness, but that it is a normal and indispensable tool of power. It must be applied promptly and ruthlessly to be effective in its function of maintaining and extending power.
The power of International Finance rests upon the doctrine of government advanced by Niccolo Machiavelli, which holds that any means, however unscrupulous, may be justifiably employed in order to maintain a strong central government; and this doctrine has always been used as a vindication and the mandate of imperialists and dictators, and it cannot gain a foothold unless the forces of freedom have become undermined and are no longer able to offer open opposition."

The Empire of the "City" by E. C. Knuth, 2006, paperback [originally published in 1944]

"The Balance of Power is a creation of the financial oligarchy and its purposes are as follows:
To divide the nations of Europe into two antagonistic camps of near equal military weight, so as to retain for Britain itself the power to sway a decision either way.
To make the leading and potentially most dangerous military power the particular prey of British suppression and to have the second strong power on the other side.
To subsidize the "Most Favored Nations" with financial investments; to permit them to acquire political advantages under the beneficent protection of the Sea-Power at the expense of the nations being suppressed.
To subject the continent of Europe to the "Policy of Encirclement" so as to keep the nations of the continent in poverty and ineffectiveness, and thereby prevent the growth of sufficient commercial expansion and wealth to create a rival sea-power.
To retain that complete control and hegemony over all the seas of the world, which was acquired by defeating the allied fleets of its only real rivals, France and Spain, in 1805; and which is artfully and subtly called "The Freedom of the Seas."
To shift this Balance of Power as required so as to be able to strike down friend or foe in the rapidly shifting scene of world power politics, in that inexorable ideology that demands that everything and anything must be sacrificed where the future welfare and expansion to the eventual destiny of the Empire are affected; that eventual destiny outlined by its proponents as the eventual control of All the lands, and All the peoples, of All the world."

Earl of Halsbury - from the 'Laws of England', 1907

"Does anyone seriously suppose that a great war could be undertaken by any European state, or a great state loan subscribed, if the House of Rothschild and its connections set their face against it?"

J.A. Hobson, in "Imperialism: A Study", 1902

"War is often justified on moral, political, or security grounds. However, beneath these justifications lies a powerful financial motive. Banks and financial institutions have historically played a crucial role in war financing, providing credit to governments and leveraging conflicts to expand their wealth. The mechanisms through which banks create money during wartime and how financial instruments amplify their profits remain largely underexplored.
The financing of wars has always posed significant challenges for nations. Historically, governments have employed various methods to fund military endeavors, including taxation, borrowing, and money creation.
Banks, as central players in the financial system, have often been at the forefront of these efforts. This paper delves into the concept of money creation by banks and its role in war finance, shedding light on the processes that enable banks to generate funds seemingly "out of thin air" and channel them into wartime economies.
Money is often perceived as a finite resource controlled by central banks and backed by tangible assets such as gold or government reserves. However, in the modern banking system, money is primarily created through the process of credit issuance by commercial banks. This ability to generate money "out of thin air" is particularly amplified during periods of war when governments require massive financial borrowing to fund military operations."

"If my sons did not want wars, there would be none."

Gutle Schnaper, Mayer Amschel Rothschild's wife

"Control of natural resources is the driving incentive behind imperialism and colonial wars over centuries, whether we are talking about Venezuela, Libya, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Ukraine, Russia, India, Congo, or any other resource rich nation.
The international bankers are the only group in society that have the motive, the means and the opportunity to initiate wars in order to take control of countries resources.
Alberta Canada's 175 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, once they came under control of Rockefeller interests in New York in early 2000s, provided $9 trillion in new collateral. The bulk of that collateral ended up fueling the $5 trillion mortgage bubble which then burst in 2007/8.
After the bailout, the banks walked away with at least $16 trillion in profits, which works out to more than $42,000 per man woman and child living in the United States. That business model far eclipses oil trade, military industrial complex and all other industries. "

Alex Krainer

"Since the Rothschild dynasty attained control of British finance, every major war has been fought to utter collapse of British opponents and unconditional surrender, and has left international finance omnipotent and unrestrained in organizing a new power-block to enforce the peace and to exploit the victory."

E. C. Knuth in his book "The Empire of the "City": The Secret History of British Financial Power", 1944

"For more than two centuries, the House of Rothschild profited handsomely from wars and economic collapses, the very occasions on which others sustained the greatest losses.
The Rothschilds were not necessarily evil in a moral sense. What preoccupied their minds were not questions of right or wrong but of profit and loss. This analytical indifference to human suffering was aptly described by one Rothschild when he said: "When the streets of Paris are running with blood, I buy." They may have held citizenship in the country of their residence, but patriotism was beyond their comprehension."

The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin

"Governments require large sums of money to fund military operations, and they often
turn to central and private banks for loans. This leads to an increase in money supply, which banks create through fractional reserve banking. In many cases, central banks, in collaboration with private financial institutions, print money or issue bonds to finance war efforts. This process creates debt, which becomes a lucrative asset for banks as they collect interest payments long after the war has ended."

"Mayer Rothschild sent his sons to Frankfurt, London, Paris, Vienna and Naples. Each son opened a house under the Rothschild name. They wrote to one another constantly. They shared numbers, intelligence, and opportunity. The family created the first truly international private financial system, operating across borders.
Before them, a king who needed money went hat in hand to local merchants and hoped they still liked him. After them, ministers and monarchs knew there was a family that could raise astonishing amounts of capital quickly as long as the terms were right. That was the turning point. Governments still flew flags and marched armies, but somewhere in the background there was a set of private ledgers that mattered more than the banners on the battlefield."
Once the Rothschild houses were in place, Europe began to look different. Wars had always been expensive. Now they were financed with a level of speed and coordination that no royal treasury could match on its own. The Rothschilds sold government bonds, the promises that states make to repay borrowed money with interest. They did not create bonds, but they perfected the business of selling them. They could arrange vast loans to governments, slice them into pieces, and place those pieces with investors all over Europe. In practice, that meant a war could be launched or extended if the Rothschilds believed the debt could be managed.
They backed Britain in its long struggle against Napoleon. They financed infrastructure that allowed armies to move faster, including roads and later railways. They helped reconstruct economies after conflicts destroyed them. And they often did business with more than one side. When people say the Rothschilds funded both sides of wars, they are talking about the simple fact that this family had the reach and nerve to lend to enemies who would happily kill one another on the field and then quietly pay their interest on time in the years that followed."

How the Banking Industry and Investment Owns Global Influence Over Nations, Markets, and Morality, JD Hall, November 22, 2025, insighttoinsite.substack.com

"Wars are provoked in succession, deliberately, by the great usurers, in order to create debts, to create scarcity, so that they can extort the interest on these debts, so that they can raise the price of money."

Abraham Lincoln

"Fractional Reserve Banking and Credit Creation Banks possess the unique ability to create money through lending, a mechanism that has been utilized to finance wars throughout history. While this capacity can provide essential resources during conflicts, it also poses significant economic risks and ethical dilemmas. A comprehensive understanding of the relationship between banking systems, money creation, and war finance is crucial for developing policies that promote economic stability and uphold moral standards in the global financial landscape. Banks have mastered the art of
profiting from war through monetary expansion, debt issuance, and speculative trading.
While governments and the public bear the economic and human costs of war, financial institutions emerge as the ultimate beneficiaries. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for policymakers and citizens to challenge the financial incentives that sustain global conflicts.
Banks create money primarily through lending, a process that expands exponentially during wartime. Governments finance wars through debt issuance, which banks facilitate and profit from. This war-financing cycle leads to inflation, economic instability, and long-term debt accumulation, benefiting financial institutions while burdening taxpayers."

"Nathan Rothschild opened N M Rothschild & Sons in 1811. He would pioneer the strategy of lending to governments during wartime, and having the winner cover the loser's debt."

Roland Usher in his book "Pan Americanism", 1913

"In 1933 Wall Street bankers and financiers had bankrolled the successful coups by both Hitler and Mussolini. Brown Brothers Harriman in New York was financing Hitler right up to the day war was declared with Germany.
Albert Einstein was of the opinion that the late entry of the US into the war against Germany was because the US was controlled by bankers who were making money off of Hitler."
Banksters and Warmongers, Giorgio Spagbol, ieri.be, 6/7/2019
"Gain and hold territories that possess the largest supplies of the basic raw materials. Establish naval bases around the world to control the sea and commerce lanes. Blockade and starve into submission any nation or group of nations that opposes this empire control program."

British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli

"During wartime, governments typically face a sharp increase in expenditures for military operations, defense infrastructure, and supporting the economy (e.g., through wartime manufacturing or rationing). These demands often exceed the capacity of government revenue generated through taxes or other traditional methods. To meet these urgent financial needs, governments often resort to creating more money. This can be done by increasing the money supply through mechanisms such as printing more currency or borrowing from central banks."

"The Rockefeller game plan is to use population, energy, food, and financial controls as a method of people control which will lead, steadily and deliberately, into the Great Merger."

The Rockefeller File a book by Gary Allen, 1976

"The two industries that the Rothschilds dominate are banking and the weapons industry.
And it is well-documented that the Rothschilds have helped finance both sides of most wars since the Napoleonic wars in the early 19th century. In these circumstances, the Rothschilds profit from weapons sales to most or all parties to all wars as well as the loans to buy the weapons and the loans to pay for reconstruction post-war."

The Rothschilds, by Robert J. Burrowes, Global Research, November 06, 2025

"Central banks, such as the Federal Reserve in the U.S., play a crucial role in the process of money creation during wartime. Central banks can increase the money supply by purchasing government debt or war bonds, which is essentially a way of creating money out of thin air. This action increases the reserves held by commercial banks, which can then lend more money into the economy, multiplying the initial amount through the fractional reserve banking system."

"The Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815) marked a turning point. Nathan Rothschild in London financed Britain's war efforts, while other Rothschild banks lent to European nations on both sides of the conflict. At the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, Nathan Rothschild manipulated the London Stock Exchange, using insider knowledge of Napoleon's defeat to cause a market panic - then buying up stocks for pennies on the dollar. After Waterloo, the Rothschilds became the financial rulers of Europe, controlling national debts and owning the governments that borrowed from them."

Professor Roland Usher in his book "Pan Americanism", 1913

"Does anyone seriously suppose that a great war [the Boer War (1880-1902)] could be undertaken by any European State if the house of Rothschild and its connections set their face against it?"

J. A. Hobson in his book "Imperialism: A Study", 1902

"War leads to the creation of vast amounts of public debt, as governments borrow heavily to finance military operations. This debt is often held by domestic and international investors, creating intricate financial systems.
When governments borrow from central banks or foreign creditors to fund war, they not only increase their money supply but also increase their financial obligations for years, if not decades, to come. The heavy debt burden often leads to the creation of more money as governments struggle to meet interest payments or roll over their debts. In this way, war can push countries into cycles of debt creation, as seen in post-war periods."

"The House of Rothschild financed the Prussian War, the Crimean War and the British attempt to seize the Suez Canal from the French. Nathan Rothschild made a huge financial bet on Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo, while also funding the Duke of Wellington's peninsular campaign against Napoleon. Both the Mexican War and the Civil War were goldmines for the family."

"World War I created astronomical debts in the nations that participated. These debts were held by the international bankers who organized and stage-managed the whole show from start to finish.
... Although the American people were clearly the losers in World War I, as were the people of the other participating nations, there was one group for which World War I was an unqualified success: The Big Bankers."

Descent Into Slavery? by Des Griffin, 1980

"War acts as a shock that paves the way for policies that favor big corporations, military contractors, and financial institutions, allowing them to thrive in a situation of social upheaval. These policies are often characterized by an expansion of credit and state-sanctioned creation of money, which disproportionately benefits the elite while leaving the public to deal with the consequences, such as inflation and inequality.
Contrary to the traditional view that banks merely act as intermediaries between savers and borrowers, modern banking systems have the ability to create money through the lending process. When a bank issues a loan, it credits the borrower's account with a deposit, effectively creating new money.
The involvement of banks in financing wars raises questions about moral responsibility. Banks, driven by profit motives, may prioritize financial gains over ethical considerations, potentially supporting conflicts that lead to widespread human suffering. This underscores the need for stringent regulations and ethical guidelines governing bank operations in conflict scenarios.

"The House of Rothschild made its money in the great crashes of history and the great wars of history, the very periods when others lost their money."

"The Rothschilds can start or prevent wars. Their word could make or break empires."

Hearst's Chicago Evening American commented, Dec. 3, 1923

"Wars upon wars are created with the single target to make more money and have more power. Only war can make great profits. Thus, out of the financial boardrooms, WWI, WWII, the Korean war, Vietnam war, Cold War, Iran-Iraq war, Balkan war, Libyan war and the Middle East wars were created."

The Empire of the City by Edwin Charles Knuth, 1944

"The basic principle of 'urban renewal ... involves the leveling of an area that has been condemned by the authorities, and the construction of a new development to take its place... In a local community urban renewal program the 'leveling' job is carried out by a demolition crew
To make a killing on 'urban renewal' projects internationally, it is necessary for the 'developers' to send in demolition crews at no cost to themselves, and have them level the prime portions of the target areas, so that these may be picked up inexpensively when the countries are defeated and inundated with war debts.
Internationally, these demolition 'jobs' are engineered and brought to fruition by means of war... The international 'developers' then step in to seize control of the blighted areas for a pittance, and launch massive redevelopment projects without having paid a cent for the use of the demolition crews. The profits on such international projects are astronomical.
The highly financed and immensely profitable 'urban renewal projects' that have taken place on the international scene since the beginning of the 20th century have been staged in 'theaters of war'.
... Is there one group that has truly prospered in the midst of all this diabolical mayhem? Yes, there is such a group - international bankers. They finance and stage these bloodletting extravaganzas, and reap the blood-soaked profits as they move towards the accomplishment of their plan to enslave mankind in a New World Order."
