This review is from: Babylon's Banksters: The Alchemy of Deep Physics, High Finance and Ancient Religion (Paperback)
Joe Farrell has written three books about the Great Pyramid and several more about the Dark Physics involved with post-World War II black ops. ("Black" in this case referring to Alchemy and the perverse uses it can be applied to.)

In this one, he skips to a subject deep on our minds, or at least a lot of our minds: Money, where it comes from, whence it vanished, and all that. How does money relate to Ancient Religions, Black Ops (still alchemy, but the deep physics kind) and guys with names like A. Hitler and A. Lincoln?

Believe it, they do. Farrell insists this book is an intro, with no agenda to connect every dot possible, but with the cascade of current events proving with no additional help that our "financial system" is crackers, the dots come pre-connected and BABYLON'S BANKSTERS now provides a sort of tourist guide for the deeply peeved and perplexed.

Oddly, the one thread in the book (Nazi Germany) that has provided the most eerie material previously is almost redundant here. Hitler's inspiration for the Reich's flipping the bird to the international "banksters" (Banker + Gangster) was clearly Abraham Lincoln and his greenbacks, and despite Farrell's linkage of Hitler's finance with Germany's Nazi-era skunk works, the basic point was the same.

Money serving the work of citizens means money that is government issued to expand with growth, not tote up the debt to insane levels, which private bankers insist upon. The US Federal Reserve is doing to the USA what Weimer did to Germany and the result will be roughly the same EXCEPT the USA already has nukes. When the USA splits into factions the nukes will be used. If Gettysburg was bad in the 1860s, wait till the modern glow-in-the-dark version.

As grim as this may seem, it all fits well with the fact that the end of World War II was neither rational nor neat. The establishment of the Post-WWII security state in the USA and elsewhere appear now as almost total frauds. Germany was defeated in 1945, 65 years ago. Why are US troops still there? To stop Russia? From doing what? During much of the later Cold War, bankers were loaning money to the USSR for better rates than any American could get. Farrell's book makes you realize there was plenty going on subrosa, and all the hidden (occult?) shenanigans of the Post War years are bubbling up to the surface right now.

Farrell's real feat here is to put what is going on in front of us into a unique, but usable and readable, perspective. As things are speeding up as I write, it's very likely the value of this book will go up. More awareness may mean more intelligent dealing with the fallout of the economic disasters befalling us. Put that way, guidebooks like BABYLON'S BANKSTERS may help move the world toward saner and better economic decisions. We can hope anyway.

5.0 out of 5 stars Farrell at this best, May 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Babylon's Banksters: The Alchemy of Deep Physics, High Finance and Ancient Religion (Paperback)
While I like all of Farrell's work, where I feel he really shines is in ferreting out hidden connections and subtle clues in history. His grasp of science, physics in particular, far exceeds most historians, academics, and others who research history's hidden side.

This is one of his best books yet. He deftly connects the dots of banking, physics, music, sociology, economics, politics, and astrology in a remarkable piece of detective work. Sherlock Holmes would be proud.

I have come to the conclusion, through my own decades of research, that there exists some sort of hidden group of highly influential, highly secretive people who have been manipulating human culture for at least thousands of years. The evidence is amazingly clear for those who look for the signs. I came to this research from a totally different angle than Farrell (and others), but it is interesting how one ends up in the same place looking at the same people.

Farrell traces the use of money, banking, credit, and debt from historical sources back thousands of years to Egypt and Babylon (and beyond, actually). The existence of a powerful, secretive, multinational cartel of "bullion brokers" who control the mining, smelting and minting of gold and silver is quite clearly demonstrated, and their influence on politics, war, finance, religion, and science, even to this day, is made obvious.

While this book is intended to be more an overview of the subject than Farrell's usual tour de force, he still includes plenty of references and citations to allow the reader further research. As it is, the book is a page-turner that heaps one fascinating fact after another onto the gameboard, and leaves one anxious to get to the next page and see where this all may lead. He ties it all neatly into some very powerful insights about our recent past and current predicaments.

I was particularly interested in the sections where he ties in the studies of economic cycles and radio interference problems neatly into astrology. I have studied astrology and worked with a professional astrologer, and know that many more people in business and politics use it than will publicly admit. I dropped the study some time ago because I felt that astrology, like many such mystery school remnants, were mere fragments of a lost science, patched together like some Cargo Cult replica, and did not function reliably. Farrell provides some nice work on tying some of those loose ends together with modern physics and his other discoveries, which he refers to as "paleophysics" - lost science of an Ancient High Civilization.

One other interesting thing is that I got this when I was about halfway through Marjorie Kelly's "Divine Right of Capital," another eye-opening book which reveals the completely fraudulent nature of the stock market and other corporate schemes. The two books together made quite a one-two punch of paradigm busting.

If you like Farrell's other work, then you will love this. If you are not familiar with his other work, then some of the material will leave you with questions that will have to be answered by reading his previous books. (Which I heartily recommend anyway.)

Get this and read it now. You will learn a great deal about what is happening in the world now and why.

5.0 out of 5 stars Babylon's Banksters Nails It!, May 28, 2010
This review is from: Babylon's Banksters: The Alchemy of Deep Physics, High Finance and Ancient Religion (Paperback)
I couldn't put the book down. You know how you recognize the Truth when you hear it? Very little in this book left me wondering or confused. It was very clear and made perfect sense. We are not free. We are victims of hidden crimes against humanity. The book describes how a banking class of "people", separate from us, controls and manipulates much of mankind through deception and monetized debt. If what Mr. Farrel wrote is true, then it all makes perfect sense. Unfortunately, everything we have been taught to believe is true makes it difficult to accept. What the book describes is disturbing but no more disturbing that what we are told by mainstream media which makes little sense. We really do need to stop referring to corporate propaganda as news and stop being fooled. I liked that it made much of what I never understood clear, no matter how disturbing it might be, but it also gave me hope. These banksters' criminal activities can not continue once exposed, and people are catching on. These criminals have made too many enemies in the World to get away with what they have been doing for much longer, and they have reportedly been doing it far too long. They are finally becoming exposed and are on the defensive. It is authors like Mr. Farrel and books like this that make a bright future possible. We need to audit the FED so these "banksters" will be exposed and Justice can be served upon them. I hope you will read this book and share what you learn from it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Evidence of a Physics behind Human Behavior and Finance, July 26, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Babylon's Banksters: The Alchemy of Deep Physics, High Finance and Ancient Religion (Paperback)
The global economic crisis that started in 2008 has summoned a deeper skepticism of the economic mainstream with its corresponding prognostications for endless growth and prosperity. Individuals are starting to question the need to play on the giant wheels of churning money that represented the retirement funds and investments of the past. While I've been reading extensively about alternative economies and monetary systems, nothing has provided a picture of finance as intriguing or as challenging as Joseph P. Farrell's Babylon's Banksters: The Alchemy of Deep Physics, High Finance and Ancient Religion.

Babylon's Banksters serves as a comprehensive outline of the evidence for a group of international monetary elites that have attempted to control the destiny of human affairs throughout history with banking and physics. Even if you don't buy into the historical monetary elite portion of the thesis, you'll still find a lot of meat here.

Early on, Farrell draws a clear distinction between the two types of money a nation can create: money built on scarcity and money built on the state itself. Money can be created as a receipt for goods and services with no built-in principal of debt and scarcity. In this case, the money supply can be expanded based on the needs of the nation. For the other type of money, created by a private bank and issued to a nation, the principal is created and not the interest. Thus, the monetary supply must always expand at an exponential rate to continue repaying the interest. When the money supply can no longer expand to make interest payments, the currency falters and eventually collapses.

This is where the connection between a physical system and a financial system begins. For nation-backed money, the system is open and the available amount of money can expand along with the economy, there can always be more money as long as available goods and services expand as well. For a private bank-backed money, the system is closed and there is never as much money as there is debt, inducing scarcity.

Farrell then posits that the first modern nation to discover a connection between open or debt-free economics and open energy systems was Nazi Germany. What Nazi Germany realized was that the Mark's dramatic devaluation began soon after the Reichbank was privatized, driving the German monetary system into hyperinflation. When Hitler took command of Germany, he turned his back on the international private bankers that shorted the German Mark and created his own fiat money, embarking on a massive public works campaign using one billion non-inflationary bills called Labor Treasury Certificates. At this same time, Germany understood that they were subject to playing by global financial hegemony because they needed access to global oil supplies. And thus, Nazi Germany devoted many of its scientist to pursuing "free energy, i.e. the technologies that would allow Germany to engineer the physical medium and its energy directly...". But Farrell does not apply heroics to the Nazi movement, he merely points out that they recognized an international malevolent influence in banking and sought to usurp it, all while committing horrible atrocities. Modern China has recognized this same influence, growing into a sophisticated world power by issuing state-created debt-free money, solidifying independence in doing so. Farrell's overall point being that an international group has controlled money systems and has suppressed technologies and alternative physics in order to maintain this control. In doing so, this group has hidden the connections between alternative physics and alternative monetary economies.

What surprised me most about Babylon's Banksters was how persuasively Farrell argued the connection between economics and an unpublicized system of physics. This is where the book shined. During the start of the Great Depression, Herbert Hoover sought a solution to the problem of the boom-bust economic cycle and commissioned Chief Economic Analyst of the US Commerce Department Edward R. Dewey to study how the business cycles occurred. What Dewey discovered was that cycles or waves of behavior appeared in nearly all aspects of human societies. In the 1947 book by Dewey and his collaborator Edwin Dakin, Cycles: The Science of Prediction, graphs and charts appeared of everything from railroad industry growth to the Atlantic salmon population. These compiled studies revealed repeating and predictable cycles in the form of discernible waves that were quantifiable as well as regular and predictable. Farrell makes the point that this is the secret a global financial elite is privy to, being able to manipulate these predictable boom-bust cycles for their own benefit. Further, a 54-year and 9-year economic cycle that proceeds at at regular intervals is depicted. Oddly enough, from the 1947 book, when the low-points of the 54 and 9 year cycles are overlaid they hit exactly on the date of our current crisis. While explanations for this phenomena can vary wildly, one way to look at is by imagining the effect a fourth dimension would have on our three dimensional perception. Consider a two dimensional being on a plane with a multi-colored wheel that passes through its plane on a regular basis. The two-dimensional being would perceive nothing but a predictable pattern of colored lines but would be unable to understand why the regular interval occurred because it was a higher dimensional object that was passing through. Perhaps a fourth dimensional object passes through our own world on a regular basis. In other words, Farrell is outlining a deeper physics behind the financial and economic transactions of the human race.

Even stranger, Farrell describes the work of an RCA company engineer, J.H. Nelson who published several articles on the bizarre anomalies that he encountered while working with trans-atlantic short-wave signals. Nelson discovered that the accuracy of long-range radio propagation could be forecasted on the basis of planetary relationships. Oddly enough, his signal degradation charts looked quite similar to astrological forecasts. After further exposition, the point Farrell makes is that modern astrology is a nearly worthless and degraded form of an ancient science that recognized and understood these planetary effects on a larger basis, even within human and social systems. Once again, the implications of a deeper physics behind human economic activity, a `paleophysics' even.

So what energy sources were the Nazi's researching? Most likely energy from an unknown source that resulted from rotating plasmas, like those described by Swedish physicist Hannes Alfvén. Starting in 1936, Alfvén outlined cosmic electrodynamics or the science of a plasma universe. If a conducting liquid is placed in a constant magnetic field, every motion of the liquid gives rise to an electromagnetic field which produces electric currents. These currents yield mechanical forces which change the state of motion of the liquid. A combined electromagnetic-hydrodynamic wave occurs which appears to transduce energy out of space-time itself, from an unknown source or maybe even the oft-discussed `zero-point field'. Also of note, Alfvén's theories discussed the possibilities that space itself exhibits a cellular structure, or crystal lattice along which energy can be tapped. There is some actual evidence for this `electric universe', specifically in the questions raised by Dr. Nikolai Kozyrev who noted that during the first hydrogen bomb tests there was an unknown source of energy. The energy of the detonated hydrogen bombs actually varied with the time which they were detonated. Farrell discusses the possibility that the energy variation occurred because the bombs became a transdimensional gateway into the energy of space-time itself which varied based on planetary rotations and proximity to higher dimensions.

Farrell draws connections between this obscured physics and an ancient international money power which are revealed in various historical accounts as they guarded gold mines with mercenaries and usurped local economies with gold and silver based transactions. But how would this international money power communicate in an era without radio? German physicist and engineer Dr. Meyl published a comprehensive account of scalar waves and their corresponding relationship to ancient temples in 2003, drawing the connection between temples as a long-range communication system between the various factions of this monetary elite. And while it sounds a little outlandish, the resonant frequency calculations of each building along with the similarities between modern magnetrons and ancient temple floor plans are rather convincing.

While the book is extremely well footnoted and referenced, where Farrell fails is in quoting his previous work too often. He could have dramatically strengthened his case by omitting those references and linking me to his original sources. Farrell breaks down every section with numbered lists of evidence he presented in previous pages which helped me track the overwhelming amount of information. This is the densest few hundred pages I've ever read. While I still remain unconvinced by the entire premise Farrell lays out, I'm thoroughly fascinated by the obscure scientists and historical references he can ferret out. I'm surprised I've waited this long to discover Farrell's unique approach to science, technology, history and humanity. Clearly there's much more to physics and finance than I could ever imagine and through Babylon's Banksters I've discovered a tremendous number of new and interesting speculative paths on which I can embark, and that's really all I can ask for from a book like this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Accurate in its more general conclusions, September 6, 2010
This review is from: Babylon's Banksters: The Alchemy of Deep Physics, High Finance and Ancient Religion (Paperback)
While the specific details often border into the esoteric realm, Farrell's broader conclusions are sound. Further, Farrell has done the painstaking work of detailing the connections between money, religion, and power. Indeed, the old adage "Follow the Money" rings true here. Farrell's thesis on its simplest level is that there has been a secret international money cabal who has always been close to power. Farrell points out that ancient societies almost always saw a nexus involving the Temple, the Throne, and the Bullion. Further, the control of the bullion was often delegated to mercenary bands (The Bershee mines in ancient Egypt, for example)--thus further pointing to international dealings. Granted, in ancient times it was much cruder and not nearly as heinous and perfected as it is today.

Farrell begins his story with Li's formula, pointing to the Chinese statitician who supposedly started the economic meltdown a few years ago. The formula doesn't make sense to my understanding--but neither does the reasoning of those in power, so it's probably an accurate description. There are two ways to view currency: a debt note or a real symbol of wealth. Strong countries had strong currencies (no, not the gold standard). The currency they issued--state currency--represented the real wealth of a nation. The currency issued by private groups is rather a facsimile of a facsmile. It does not represent real wealth, but only debt.

At this point Farrell begins his discussion of ancient physics. While I'm not competent to discuss what's going on, there is one aspect that is relevant to his thesis: if you are going to have wealth independent of the banksters, you must have an energy source/defense to guarantee your survival. Enter Nikola Tesla. Tesla had actually found a way to provide limitless energy to the world, using the earth as the physical medium. And if the parallels between his project and the Tuskunga event are true, he was also able to weaponize it. J. P. Morgan, being a priest of the Banksters, found a way to discredit and impoverish Tesla. Tesla had challenged the banksters and paid for it.

This also explains Nazi Germany's desire for energy. The Nazis, for all their evils, found a way to do an end-run around the Rockefeller/Rothschild banking cartel. With the Nazi fall, many SS officers emigrated to South America. Assuming that the Nazis did have weapons and physics beyond regular imagination, the Rockefellers saw several potentials: 1) The Rockefeller/Rothschilds, likely being the spiritual descendants of Nimrod and no doubt having deep Masonic and occultic roots, coveted that technology (and the money behind it). The Nazis had no way (and no point) of using that technology, nor did they want to give it to their enemies. 2) However, they did need an outlet for their money and the Rockefellers needed the interest that the Nazi billions would accrue in the banks.

Therefore, the Nazis and the Rockefellers reached a detente. Further, David Rockefeller intuited that a global government would give the banksters easier access to the physics they sought. Thus, the founding of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Bilderbergs (a Nazi actually started the Bilderbergs, a group that regularly sees Republican and Democrat participation).

That's the general heart of the book. He says a lot more on the deep physics aspect. I simply do not have the expertise to judge his remarks. However, I now understand how *he* thinks the Giza Pyramids functioned as weapons. Normally radio (and energy) waves move in an "S" pattern (think of two people holding a jump rope and one popping it up/down). When this happens, the majority of the energy/power/??? is lost in the air. Tesla, however, in using the *earth* as the physical medium found a much powerful and clear way to send waves (think of two people holding a yard stick instead of a jump rope. The majority of the energy is still there upon reception). Tesla's experiment grasped deep beneath the earth and, if the accounts are to be believed, likely caused the Tuskunga event. Therefore, while he may not be correct on the Pyramids, it is now easy to see Farrell's point that the Pyramids could have functioned as such.

This review is from: Babylon's Banksters: The Alchemy of Deep Physics, High Finance and Ancient Religion (Paperback)
Most extremely technical left brained people I know tend to do exactly what this book does which is get lost in the technical details of a subject. There's no question that Farrell is an extremely knowledgable and intelligent man, but this book was in desperate need of some serious editing. The subject matter and concepts are simply fascinating; however, it doesn't hold my attention as I feel like I am reading a tedious technical reference manual. The technical details are superfluous as the majority of them are not necessary to communicate the intended point (think of someone explaining the concepts of binary, then flooding you with page after page of 1s & 0s with their respective binary conversions). It would be a great idea to include an appendix for those who are interested in looking under the hood for the excrutiating details. I give it 3 stars for the research involved and the very interesting and intriguing information presented, but some editing would have made this a 5 star book no doubt.

This review is from: Babylon's Banksters: The Alchemy of Deep Physics, High Finance and Ancient Religion (Paperback)
I could waste so much or your time and mine (as many reviewers seem to do) trying to analyze and paraphrase, so instead, may I just say that Dr Joseph P Farrell has produced in Babylon Banksters a truly superb work of the utmost importance.

The depth of knowledge, the scope of research and Dr Farrell's incredible skill in "joining the dots" has taken me on an incredible journey of discovery - particularly as it is so totally relevant to current events occurring around the world right now.

If you want to understand what is really going on and the ancient basis upon which current crises have arisen then this amazing work is perfect!

Thank you Dr Farrell!

This review is from: Babylon's Banksters: The Alchemy of Deep Physics, High Finance and Ancient Religion (Paperback)
I have -- either in my possession or on order -- every book that Joe Farrell has written. He is not only a first-rate author capable of keeping his readers enthralled, he is also a researcher and scholar I would have to rate at the very top. Nevertheless, this book surpassed even the high standards I have come to expect from his work.

We are at war-- a war of which most people are unaware -- that fulfills the forecasts laid out by Zbigniew Brzezinski forty years ago in his work, "Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era."

With today's events unfolding, the thesis laid out in "Babylon's Banksters" is the one which makes the most sense.

This review is from: Babylon's Banksters: The Alchemy of Deep Physics, High Finance and Ancient Religion (Paperback)
I have read several of Joseph's works and found this one one of the best. While each stands on their own there are threads which link them all, threads which lead us to plumb the depths of history and of the imprisoning web which entangles us all. Each book opens many doors, each is well documented, and I much appreciate his careful style. I think he touches in this work the crux of the matter: are we and the world/universe we live in systems open or closed, potentially open to re-creation and renewal or doomed to entropy and decay? Is our economic system structured intentionally, basing itself on scarcity and limitation, as a way of reinforcing a closed and closing paradigm more readily productive of slaves and victims? Joseph's careful analysis is without parallel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Give Me That Old Time Religion = Money, August 13, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Babylon's Banksters: The Alchemy of Deep Physics, High Finance and Ancient Religion (Paperback)
This book throws out a lot of information from hyper dimensional physics to astrology to religion, to the Illuminati "One World Order" and attempts to connect it all into a nice package.

Having read books on all these individual subjects, it is very difficult to do this in a clear, concise and readable book. A lot of the information is circumstantial, but the author brings it all up to support his theory. When reading the book, if you keep an open mind and consider everything he says, it is very interesting and makes a lot of sense. The Banksters are secretive, tricky and do not advertise everything they do; they prefer to remain "behind the scenes." Just consider the Bilderberg Group, and how few people really know what they do and how they operate.

I didn't think the author did a convincing job of tying the Banksters to the ancient temples to the extent he was attempting to do, but obviously there is a connection. Will we ever really know? I'm not sure.

The book raises a lot of questions, which provoke further reading. The more people think about these relationships and our "money as debt" Federal Reserve system, and how this is not working, is very good for our future growth. This is a must read for anyone studying or interested in Economics

Once again Dr. Joseph Farrell has produced an outstanding piece of work!

I have had the pleasure of reading Dr. Farrell's work for many years. The subjects he covers and their implications are, when one looks at the bigger picture of recent and modern history quite extraordinary!

However, with "Babylon's Banksters: The Alchemy of Deep Physics, High Finance and Ancient Religion," Dr. Farrell has pushed all the boundaries of his previous works to a new and more important level - AGAIN!

What this erudite researcher has in store for his growing readership next I do not know but, I personally cannot wait for the ink to dry!"

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Thinker and Scholar, too many cheap shots, September 15, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Babylon's Banksters: The Alchemy of Deep Physics, High Finance and Ancient Religion (Paperback)
Dr. Farrell is an excellent thinker, I anticipate his other books, even after being disappointed by this, the first book of his I have read. It is not that his evidence is slim, and certainly not that his mind is not disciplined.
Dr. Farrell's great capacity to keep his cards close to his chest makes for respectability. He resists temptation, but even then, he does speculate. Farrell's speculation is highly reliable due to extensive reading. His style is very very strict and controlled.
Yet, his speculations and hints are a bit harder to believe...as compared to Jim Marrs. While Mr. Marrs will throw everything in and make an argument of guilt by association, or "you can draw your own conclusions" implications, Farrell respects us a little bit more.
It may leave him with less wiggle room to speculate, which is admirable.
The essay itself is nothing new, and the Doctor brings some new material.
However, it is not that compelling or imaginative, and as alternative history, one still longs for the sweeping vision of HP Lovecraft (without all the adjectives and made up names!).

3.0 out of 5 stars Bring Your Theodicy Out of the Closet, July 28, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Babylon's Banksters: The Alchemy of Deep Physics, High Finance and Ancient Religion (Paperback)
No doubt about it, Farrell is very sharp. He's able to stay on point and carry through his analysis, but only to a point. I can't help but feel he's not being totally forthcoming about his conspiracy views. As with others in this field, Farrell's theories have huge implications for biblical interpretation and theology, yet he assiduously avoids following his ideas through to their theological, cosmological or spiritual ends. Why? What's he afraid of? What's he hiding?

I poked around the internet and got some background on Farrell. His major work is a well-regarded four volume history of the early Church that essentially favors eastern Orthodoxy and villifies Rome and the dominance of Western Europe. Is his intense focus on the Nazis an extension of that view, an "I told you so"? If so, why doesn't he say so? In addition to his Orthodox leanings, Farrell is currently an adjucnt professor of apologetics at an evangelical seminary. This contradicts his statements on radio that he is a former professor. How does his current writing square with his current evangelical theological commitment? He has yet to bring his conspiracy views into any substantive dialogue with his theology but has instead completely bracketed his theology out. Why? He needs to come out of the closet and offer up his own theodicy, his "justification of God" in light of the perverse history he outlines in his many books.

The conclusion of Babylon's Banksters was disappointing in that regard. After a lengthy treatment of what can only be described as pervasive and historically persistant evil, he provides no response, no admonition other than "it's time we got rid of them." Do you believe, Dr. Farrell, that we common folks can and will defeat these forces? If so, how? At least with Icke and even with Jim Marrs, I know what they believe about the nature of evil and what we must to to defeat it, both politically and spiritually. I came away from Farrell's book (plus several internet interviews and a brief perusal of The Cosmic War) with no hope. There is nothing in his writing or speaking thus far that even remotely counterbalances his intense focus upon systemic evil. Is he pulling the oldest apologetics trick in the book, trying to "shut us all up to sin that grace may abound?" Is he trying to make us feel that there's no hope against these forces other than for a savior from heaven to rescue usl? At least Tim LaHaye and Hal Lindsay are honest and forthcoming about their theological beliefs. What do you believe, Dr. Farrell? Are we doomed? Is Jesus going to finally get off his throne and return to earth to fix this mess? Or are we trapped by that old rub--free will--and have to figure out for ourselves how to defeat these very powerful and very malevolent powers? What's your theodicy, man? Come out of the closet. Let's hear your "apologetics."

Do you want to end the tyranny of the banksters? Well do you, punk?

Guess what? It's very, very simple! Four words: END FRACTIONAL RESERVE BANKING.

That's it. That's all. Pass it on.

P. S. I don't mean a little bit or kind of. The only banking regulation should be: No bank may loan money it does not have on deposit. At all. Ever.

Done!

P. P. S. Want to have a completely practical utopia. Here? Now? Read Heinlein's For Us The Living, A Comedy Of Custom. Then read the guy he got all his ideas from: Clifford Hugh Douglas.

1.0 out of 5 stars Incoherent, jumbled, speculative psuedo-bs, October 11, 2010

This review is from: Babylon's Banksters: The Alchemy of Deep Physics, High Finance and Ancient Religion (Paperback)
Yes, I was suckered into buying this trash and I regret it! This nonsense borderlines on anti-semetic conspiracy theories, and wild fantasies about the Nazi "Bell Device". The author attempts to legitimize this garbage by footnoting extensively, however, most footnotes simply reference the same, equally as dubious, text: The True Story of the Bilderberg Group. Like any good propagandist the author weaves truth and fiction indiscriminately together and markets the logical conclusions as facts.....The author also contradicts himself throughout the text and seems incapable of making up his mind regarding which faction within the Bilderberg group is the driving force of evil in the world.

For any serious reader this stuff becomes tedious, boring and just plain unreadable after about 20 pages or so....I'm really sorry I plunked down almost 10 bucks for this junk.

As opposed to this, a truly fascinating and factual account of the collaboration between Nazi Germany and international corporate interests is Nazi Nexus: America's Corporate Connections to Hitler's Holocaust
