“The death of Lincoln was a disaster for
Christendom, wrote German leader Bismarck.
There was no man in the United States great
enough to wear his boots, and ... (money cre-
ators) went anew to grab the riches of the
world. I fear that foreign bankers with their
craftiness and tortuous tricks will entirely con-
trol the exuberant riches of America, and use
it to systematically corrupt modem civilization.
They will not hesitate to plunge the whole of
Christendom into wars and chaos in order that
the earth should become their inheritance.”
Gold and silver were for a long time two
metals used simultaneously for coinage. In 1818,
England demonetized silver. Then, as it had
control of gold, but other countries had silver
mines, its financiers did everything possible to
demonetize silver everywhere and establish the
exclusive reign of gold. In 1873 they attacked the
currency of America. We are often told that gold
is, by tradition, the only real currency. From 1789
to 1873 the two metals had the same prestige
in the United States, and the gold standard was
established in the U.S. in 1900
only
. (And was
abolished by President Nixon in 1971.)
Ernest Seyd, agent of High Finance
Let us introduce another figure, who did not
fall under the pistol of a killer. He is one of those
lackeys that London’s finance delegates to the
American continent under the guise of financial
expertise whenever there is a major chain to
forge.
Ernest Seyd was
the agent of inter-
national finance to get
the United States to
pass a bill to demonet-
ize silver and put
America under the rule
of the real (financial)
rulers of the world.
Seyd was an advisor
to the Bank of England,
at least so he said.
Let him tell briefly his
achievement of 1873:
“I went to America in the winter of 1872-73,
authorized to secure, if I could, a bill demonetiz-
ing silver. It was to the interest of those I repre-
sented — the governors of the Bank of England
— to have it done. I took with me £100,000 ster-
ling, with instructions that if it was not sufficient
to accomplish the object to draw for another
£100,000, or as much more as was necessary.
German bankers were also interested in having
the bill passed. I saw the committee of the House
and Senate and paid the money and stayed in
America until I knew the measure was safe.”
The law was signed in the beginning of 1873
by President Grant, who admitted eight months
later that he did not understand the text he had
signed into law. Several Congressmen left written
statements confessing the same ignorance. Seyd
knew better, and he said a year later to Senator
Luckenbach:
“Your people will not now comprehend the
far-reaching extent of that measure — but they
will in after years.”
The Congressional Record of April, 1872
described Seyd as a benefactor: “Emest Seyd, of
London, a distinguished writer and bullionist, who
is now here, has given great attention to the sub-
ject of mint and coinage. After having examined
the first draft of the bill, he made sensible sugges-
tions which the Committee adopted and embod-
ied in the bill.”
Depression trigerred by the bankers
The result of the demonetization of silver was
such a curtailment in the volume of money in the
nation that a terrible depression, lasting several
years, was suffered. Senator Ferry of Michigan
made the following statement regarding the
panic of 1873: “Millions of people were reduced
from good circumstances to penury, or covered
with debt, beneath which burden their backs
must bend until it is unloaded at the grave, where
an innocent posterity must take it up and bear it
on.”
For sure the victims of the Depression must
have been told by these financiers that this result
was the punishment for their sins or their extrava-
gances. Ernest Seyd knew the truth behind this
depression.
Let us finally mention, among this multitude
of bankers, the intervention of Paul Warburg, an
international financier of London, in the prepara-
tion of the Federal reserve Act of 1913, for the
establishment of an American system of cen-
tral banks, serving the interests of International
Finance.
Financiers at top levels do not slumber.
Before the “rumbling” revolt of a world awaken-
ing to reality, they made every effort to defend
