Wall Street pays out biggest bonuses since Great Recession of 2009

Wall Street had a fantastic year, and they've decided to celebrate by rewarding bankers with the biggest bonuses since the end of the Great Recession.

A resurgent stock market in 2021, a flurry of new companies with exciting IPOs, and a revival of global dealmaking hitting record highs have meant that a lot of banks made a lot of money.

Comment: 'Compensation rates'... Lest we forget that banks 'made a lot of money' and were paying out record bonuses just before the global banking crash of 2008, and that's because they were involved an awful lot of dodgy deals.

Not long after tax payers bailed out the banks, and paid for it with a decade of austerity measures and slashes to public spending, banks, that hadn't implemented any worthwhile reforms, because governments never made them, went bank to paying unjustifiable bonuses.

Now, big banks are significantly increasing compensation rates for their most valued employees. Morgan Stanley said its compensation expenses had gone up 18% in 2021. Goldman Sachs spent around 23% more per employee in compensation in 2021 compared with 2020. And Bank of America also bumped up its compensation for dealmakers by 50% in 2021. These earnings are the highest Wall Street bankers have received since 2009, CNN reports.

Wall Street bonuses this year have been directed at the best performers and dealmakers, and they are "not going to be spread like any kind of peanut butter," Betsy Duke, a former Federal Reserve governor, told Bloomberg. The biggest bonuses at Goldman Sachs, for example, were as high as 50% for top-performing investment bankers, Reuters reports.

The CEOs, though, are the ones receiving the highest pay increases. Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman has been given a hefty $35 million payday after a 6% raise last year worth $2 million. JPMorgan Chase main man Jamie Dimon got an even bigger bump worth $3 million, bringing his total 2021 earnings to $34.5 million. And Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon received a big $35 million salary last year, $23.1 million of which was paid out in performance-based restricted stock units, stock options rewarding Solomon's "outstanding individual performance," according to a Goldman filing with the SEC.

Solomon and Gorman are now tied as the highest-earning chiefs in U.S. banking, according to the New York Times.

The wave of bonuses sweeping Wall Street is not only the result of a lucrative year for banking. Bankers, especially junior employees, are feeling burned out by crushing workloads during the pandemic, and with the promise of an even more active dealmaking market in 2022, the banking labor market is becoming even tighter. That has led to banks' willingness to pay more to keep their talent.

Some banks are even going so far as including provisions in their bonuses to discourage talent from leaving. Investment bank Credit Suisse announced that larger portions of bonuses would be paid in upfront cash this year, but if employees were to leave the company within the next three years, they'd have to pay their bonuses back.

Major banks including Citi, Barclays, and JPMorgan bumped up their first-year analyst salaries to $100,000 last summer from $85,000 in an effort to hold on to talent amid last year's frenzy of mergers and demanding workloads. In January of this year, banks including Bank of America, Citi, and JPMorgan decided to up these starting salaries again to $110,000. But for many junior employees, these are small perks compared with the swaths of deals and high earnings banks pulled off last year.

Comment: One wonders how many of these deals and mergers that banks feasted upon are actually the fallout from the nearly 2 years of rolling lockdowns that devastated small and medium businesses?

They're sucking blood before the corpse bleeds out from its wounds.

Biggest sign of an impending collapse.

Take the money and run.

Before 1914, an ounce of gold was worth $ 20 in the United States Note.With a $ 20 banknote, a gold coin weighing gr. about 31. Today it takes + than 50 US $ 20 bills (Federal Reserve Notes) to buy the same gold coin, provided it is available.

Which seems obvious or, better, "physiological". Everything would be explained by the loss, over time, of the purchasing power of the currency, ignoring the fact that anyone who uses it must simultaneously take on a debt and assume the perpetual burden of paying interest.Which, of course, is not evident, but thanks to political alchemy and actuarial science it is economically correct, even if ethically fraudulent.Legal tender currency, in fact, is not only a means of payment, but can easily become the instrument of speculation for private capital.Those who do not believe it could take a look at the capital of the ECB under the Euro regime (in the year Domini 2022). But he should also ask himself why there is the LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) in London, an inaccessible place where the price of gold on the world market is fixed daily.That this has happened since 1919 (the year of widespread suspicions) is not very convincing, even if it is covered with official status. The practice in fact dates back to 1815, but the true precedent dates back to 1773. Then the idea of Mayer Amschel Bauer becomes a financial technique that will condition the economy of the contemporary age.He (Mayer Amschel) has a small shop in Frankfurt am Main, but he is not a craftsman, but a gold dealer, as at least two generations of English rulers would later call him, namely "The Goldsmith" (which also means "gold dealer" ). Appellation that will remain attached to him even when his son, Nathan Mayer, will be appointed baronet by King Charles III (Hanover dynasty) and permanently hired by him at the British court, as economic adviser to his Majesty.The idea (at first very strange) of Mayer Amschel Bauer consists in financing the King (in gold) as long as he entrusts him with the exclusive task of tax collector, without prejudice to the right of the lender to negotiate equivalent certificates of deposit on different squares.The project is brilliant, but to achieve it you need to enter the "Judengasse", where gold is exchanged for cash in large quantities and well beyond the competence of less noble loan sharks who thrive in the adjacent alleys.In the qualitative leap, it is also advisable to assume a new surname, which (by law) must be changed. This is suggested by a red shield (Roth-Schild), a symbol that towers over the old pawn shop. Mayer Amschel becomes Rothschild.

But it is only the first step. It is necessary to involve the big "Gold Dealers" of Frankfurt, inviting them to use their substantial capital in more profitable operations (compared to the current ones and limited only to the city square on the Main). Master in the art of persuasion and very gifted with diplomatic flair, Rothschild establishes a sort of colossal game without borders, placing the entire stake on the Achilles heel of the great powers, the budget.Imperialist demands and social ferment are for him nothing more than indicators of the right investment of the growing capital which he can gradually dispose of.Gold is an international "currency", capable of buying peoples and sovereigns and of replacing current banknotes (the dreaming monarchs and revolutionaries chasing utopias know this). But it can become a constraint or, vice versa, constitute a necessary (and not always sufficient) credential for the financial maneuvers that political circumstances may justify. All things that Rothschild understands, foreseeing the possibility of earning on the convertibility of the currency, but also making money on the negotiation of the certificates of deposit that the equivalent in gold should represent. Amid controversies never fully defined, the gold standard was born.But the doubt about the concrete existence of a gold reserve (corresponding to the currency in circulation) is secular, as is the doubt about the variability of the gold / money ratio.The idea of the Rothschild becomes, however, in revolutionary Europe and in the decades to come, a monetary criterion, on the basis of which money is created and profits are made on tax revenues.This is possible even when gold is not available (or if possession of it has been lost). As?By negotiating certificates of deposit equivalent to the Paris, London and Frankfurt stock exchanges, to make them a substitute reserve that justifies the issue of other banknotes (in Fed language, "legal tender"), that is, money of common use.In this circumstance (at the time of the "enlightened" Mayer Amschel) the King was presented with the opportunity to protect the defense of the Kingdom by purchasing armaments.Gold, in the event of war, is a real guarantee, but in the financial markets the securities that represent it are traded. Bonaparte at Waterloo and, one hundred and thirty years later, Adolf Hitler will learn it at their expense.Thus was inaugurated the speculative economy of the free market which can hardly bear political equilibrium and sees, in the armed conflict, greedy opportunities for profit.

Rothschild guarantees the exclusive competence on the negotiability of the certificates of deposit and the possible linkage to the gold-standard, setting up Rothschild Houses, in London, Paris, Vienna and Naples, at the helm of which the new banker places (including Frankfurt) his five sons.The order is imperative: before giving the gold to the King, a contract is made to him, in which he recognizes the debt (of the kingdom) and authorizes the lender to issue money, in an equivalent quantity, through one or more banks. In this sense, the well-known certificate of deposit, signed by the monarch, who needs gold to wage a war or stifle a revolution (or, as often happens, to restore the budget) is valid. The convertibility of gold into current currency is very useful in the event that the King becomes insolvent or refuses to follow certain political advice. The conspirators in such eventualities are paid in banknotes, as well as the revolutions that, without money, cannot be made.The reactionary forces are also financed in the same way, provided that the subsequent government, born of the restoration, entrusts the control of the public finances to House Rothschild.

The Red Shield Network works perfectly, given the current times in Europe and the New World, where the British Crown risks losing political and monetary control of its North American colony. The forefather of the Rothschilds, as well as being an astute merchant, is an attentive observer of a society in turmoil, in which the tensions between classes are approaching the breaking point, while the strength of the "Third Estate" or Bourgeoisie is affirming in the Old Continent.The European Theater seems to be the ideal field of application for the technique generating permanent public debt, by means of which national assets can be transformed into private capital.

It is suggested by the principle according to which money (aka gold deposit certificate, the concrete existence of which can also be hypothetical) is a means of freeing payment from the bonds of a debt, which also depends on… where and when. That is, from the different valuation of gold or of the certificate that represents it. This explains, among other things, why Edward III in 1345 refused to comply with the requests of the banker Bardi of Florence.

In fact, continuing the Hundred Years War at the time, the price of gold was skyrocketing in the English Kingdom (thanks to the high demand for the precious metal, intended for the purchase of weapons and the establishment of new armies) and constituted a pretext for not satisfy the demands of the Florentine banker (who asked, documents in hand, for the return of the same amount of gold at the time lent to the Monarch).Capital which, converted into florins, "was worth a kingdom" as Villani tells us, because it refers to the price of gold, but in different circumstances and times.Four hundred years later, thanks to his intuition, Rothschild was able to overcome the problem by putting the financial markets at stake (Amsterdam, London, Frankfurt and later Paris and New York), in which the certificates of deposit are negotiated. In the middle there is always "King Midas", who has put together a good bunch of these representative documents and intends to invest them where gold is worth more: on the square where there is greater demand, because a war and a increased spending on armaments, or a revolutionary movement and the supply of arms and money to the insurgents. The tense climate, originating from imperialist pressures and prospects for independence, facilitates the use of capital (gold or corresponding certificates).But, as already noted, if the King has to go to war, the price of gold goes up.Consequently, a shrewd investor, placed in the conditions to be able to do so, favors the outbreak of the conflict, appropriately hiding the less noble intentions that cause it.The King's banker, who cannot ignore the rapid developments of rational-liberalism, will in fact find good investment opportunities in financing even those who oppose the King, provided that the "trust" (or debt) is then paid under. form of tax by taxpaying citizens. The role of the banker therefore envisages the possibility that he can, if necessary, be the spokesperson for oppressed masses, if this favors his financial objectives, not excluding the hypothesis of his own decisive support for the alleged oppressor, against which he will be legitimate. finance a war of liberation. The latter thus falls within the category of just wars, financially supported, in order to make a profit anyway.Casa Rothschild becomes a specialist in the sector and operates through a network of selected agents, scattered throughout Europe, Asia and the two Americas.

In the France of Louis XVI we note the alarming worsening of the public debt which in 1783 touched the unsustainable peak of 1,640 million "livres", thanks to the imprudent maneuvers of the Minister of Finance Calonne, who has already resorted to the gold market managed by Rothschild. The taxes paid by the peasants are not enough to pay the interest. The infamous "size" is imposed, a classic drop that overflows the camel's back. And the rest that follows is known. The securities of the French kingdom are traded on the Frankfurt and London stock exchanges which cause a significant decline, so much so as to induce Paris to suspend trading. The king who doesn't pay gets his head off and… the contemporary age is born. The first "Accepting Houses" were established in London, in which a large part of the French Crown Treasury is kept. The direction of London finance is entrusted to Nathan Mayer Rothschild, who proposes the immediate detachment of the pound from the gold standard when the Seventh Coalition is formed which in Waterloo will have to put an end to the aggression and utopian dreams of Bonaparte, who has been plundering for years the gold of half of Europe, North Africa and Russia. These are the two faces of the gold standard, a sort of fetish that hides the virtues of the Holy Grail on the one hand and the code of the perfect rip-off on the other.The United States has achieved political independence, but the American economy is increasingly a slave to the "Rothschild Method", thanks to a mechanism functional to the practice of the well-known Fiat Money, which many already call London Connection.Something reminiscent of the "Trick or trade?" and the tradition of Halloween.It is also handed down from father to son, like the generations of international bankers.Thus, the economic crises, recurring since 1837, almost equal in frequency the jokes at the end of October, such as the sudden and unjustified recall order of "short-term credits" and similar banking witchcraft. It is the trick that in the States (and beyond) causes chain insolvencies, financial crashes and collective panic syndromes. The trade is the obvious next phase which, translated, means an increase in the discount rate and tax revenue, a decrease in the purchasing power of money and further public debt.In this way independence and autonomy (political and economic) go to be blessed.In the complex imperialist game of the early twentieth century, financial cunning and the power of arms are measured, because what is at stake is the control of territories rich in raw materials and, in particular as already mentioned, in oil.The indebtedness of the State therefore precedes the issue of money, that is a flow of liquidity to be used urgently in order not to cause further inflation and unsustainable liabilities.Financial markets thus stimulate public investment, forcing the state to increase spending on armaments.What does a indebted and well-armed state do? Try to use them, to limit the passive. And then because unused weapons are useless - they serve as a deterrent, but do not improve budgets - their use, under the most banal pretexts and the most artificial provocations, can transform a passive into an active one, until another State intervenes. , full of debts, but armed to the teeth that he is forced to propose himself as a belligerent. A sort of chain reaction, like the one well thought out by the Rothschilds, in the period before the First World War. Debt, unstable economy, unsustainable liabilities, wide availability of armaments, obligation to use them, war.Here is the scenario that is outlined in Europe, following the entry into force of the Federal Reserve Act (January 1914), when the full activity of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, operational instrument of the Bank of England, begins, which in turn is in close connection with the House of Rothschild.

Woodrow Wilson is an excellent jurist who does not prescribe remedies, as he himself confesses. By letting it be understood that corruption and moral degradation can meander in Congress and the White House, under the eyes of the President, as if it were not his competence and he had to take appropriate measures to eliminate them. In Washington, however, as in Pericles' Athens, freedom and democracy are myths of Olympus, which sell well. Just pack them as a fine export commodity.For this purpose, the American International Corporation was founded, the second child of the Federal Reserve System and a gigantic network of Corporate Banking. American politics, which does not renounce the constant reference to its mythological breviary, thus inaugurates the great mission of propaganda faith, according to a new, perfected ritual, capable of hiding, in the shadow of a myth, the deception and fraud, even if evident. , but so customary as to be finally admissible, as the origin of a mortifying, colossal and unconfessable misunderstanding.

Hoboken Railway Station, New Jersey - November 22, 1910

Wet and cold autumn evening. A special train is leaving. Unknown destination.The travelers can be counted on the fingers of one hand, but the entire convoy is reserved for them.A senator, a representative of the federal government and four well-known representatives of American and international finance take their places:Paul Warburg, shrewd banker from Frankfurt, organizer of a secret conference, during which he will present his "Federal Bank" project.Frank Vanderlip, who attends the meeting as a representative of the Rockefellers, (his memorial will reveal, twenty years later, the circumstances and details of the meeting).Senator Nelson Aldrich, a sort of "Mr. Hide" of American politics, at the time, among other things, Head of the National Monetary Commission, charged with conducting an investigation into the financial crisis of 1907 (and proving the suspicions that a to determine it had been the "maneuvers" of John Pierpont Morgan (sic)).Henry P. Davinson, Chairman of JP Morgan and CompanyPiatt Andrew, Deputy Secretary of the Treasury,Benjamin Strong of the Morgan Bankers Trust Company.These gentlemen would have the task of formulating a bill (the so-called "Aldrich Bill"), based on the results of the investigation that the National Monetary Commission has in the meantime conducted to highlight the causes of the crisis and indicate remedies and paths for recovery. economic.At least this is what the House of Representatives and the Senate expect, which for this purpose have set up the Commission (chaired by Nelson Aldrich, a symbol of connivance between politics and finance, as well as ancestor of the favorite Nelson Rockefeller and others with the same name, hands down the technique of "transformism").But, why so much secret? If the reporters ask for it, many rushed to Hoboken station (and promptly moved away). They are on the hunt for scoops and are looking for confirmation of what transpires from the environments that matter.William Taft, President-in-office of the United States, also asks it a month later, when he receives the proposal (elaborated by an already operating "Federal Advisory Council"), which he submits to the approval of Congress, candidly anticipating to the assembled Commission that he will never sign the next, foreseen "Act" which would transform it into law.The refusal, as Taft himself will have time to explain later, is due to the fact that establishing it as a "norm", if it enters into force, would put democratic institutions at risk, seriously compromising the monetary sovereignty of the free American people. To the disappointment of the Commission and Senator Nelson Aldrich, Taft dismisses the proposal (which was approved by Congress, which evidently did not want to reveal its scope and pitfalls), declaring, with clear and direct words, that the same law seems to be made specifically for legitimize (like others later) what it expressly… forbids, that is, the establishment of a Central Bank not subject to state control.The President, among other things, recalls Thomas Jefferson's warning, which more or less read as follows: "Allowing a bank in the hands of private entities to establish itself as a Central Bank and perform its function of issuing public money, is equivalent to hosting permanently an invading army within the home ».Among other things, Taft is not so foolish as to believe that it is enough to change its name to the Federal Reserve to hide the work of a full-fledged Central Bank, although the Aldrich Bill provides for the establishment of 12 branches in as many states, just to confuse ideas. And finally because Taft has, in addition to political responsibility, that minimum of modesty, which his successors would later lack, in the name of the politically correct, "formula" that does not require Kafkaesque memory checks, to prove that unconstitutional absurdities can become norms in current use.But at the time (like today, for that matter) shock therapies were practiced with ease, wide use of key words, such as freedom and democracy, always functional (like financial crises) at the time when the Federal Reserve System was established.(Enough to make the current Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke believe in recent times that his following statement is politically correct: "The Great Depression of '29? We caused it!"By "we" we mean deputies, senators, US presidents and Fed men welcomed by International Banking).

So Taft doesn't fit!

It is a pity! But it is still necessary to give a system to the world, because the industrial revolution is taking it by leaps and bounds to a crucial turning point: the change of the energy regime.That is the prevalent use of oil in internal combustion engines.The monopoly financial capitalism or international banking network of the House of Rothschild in London obviously intends to acquire control of the areas where oil already flows abundantly and everywhere on the planet the search for fossil fuel takes place in feverish competition with the Great Powers of Europe. , Tsarist Russia and the United States (the empire of the Rising Sun, struggling with China and Russia itself, is already thinking about the effects of a conspiracy against it).As for the "areas of influence", the most careful diplomacy inaugurates the criterion of "remote control", to protect the extensive and consolidated British rule and against rising, foreign and worrying imperialist fervors.It should be remembered that the oil of Mashid-i-Suleiman in Persia (accidentally discovered in 1907 by William D'Arcy, a penniless English noble and archaeologist in his spare time), is the object of avid attention by John A. Fisher and Winston Churchill. , as well as the origin of John David Rockefeller's growing anxieties. The Cartel of its Standard Oil, although shattered by the Sherman law, but operating in disguise, risks seeing its presence in the European market halved. The danger is represented by the newborn "Trust" with the provisional name of APOC (Anglo Persian Oil Company) which would obviously aim to supply the oil needs of the old continent, thanks to the exclusive exploitation of promising black gold deposits in the territories of Persia, Mesopotamia and Saudi Arabia. In the dispute, however, the British cunning will have to confront, not so much with the United States (linked, through the Fed system, to a financial "London connection"), but with the claims of Kaiser Wilhelm II, determined to assert the rights of Deutsche Bank, which owns 25% of the capital of the pre-existing Turkish Petroleum Company, an inconvenient heir to the Ottoman Turkish Empire.But there is also the fear that in Europe, and precisely in Germany, a large-scale production of internal combustion engines will be started, emulating what happened in the United States, where many examples of the "model T" have been circulating since 1908. The car that Henry Ford wanted to launch on the American market at affordable prices signals, among other things, the success of the "Taylorist" system whose production criteria linked to the assembly line focus on quantity and the diffusion of the automobile as a means of transport.In the Central Empires, among other things, there are people who paw (like Von Tirpitz) to create a great "Flottenverein" which in turn will have to counter the British domination of the oceans. It is therefore necessary to replace the old coal engines, used by the Merchant and Military Navy, with the new ones, designed by the German Rudolf Diesel in 1892 for the suitable use of petroleum derivatives.The "consecutio temporum" is not only suspicious: the Federal Reserve law comes into force (December 1913) when the construction of the Berlin-Baghdad Railway is underway (with the money of the Deutsche Bank), causing worrying tensions that risk becoming open conflicts and ... in July 1914 the World War broke out.The world is always divided between oppressors and oppressed, and behind the scenes there are those who control both, maneuvering with dexterity for the sole purpose of enriching themselves behind them. Everything happens in the full disregard of the geopolitical theory of Karl Haushofer, inspirer of ... tyrannical invaders and always ignored by those who fight for freedom which, like the equitable distribution of the planet's resources, is obtained (or conquered?), Employing a large part … Of the national budget (or, to be clear, of the public debt on which the Fed profits). Perpetual catchphrase of the best millenarian tradition, represented by the "Bank" as an institution: founded on the principle of the reliability of third party contractors (including Governments), whereby the "credit" is offered against collateral; and if the state needs the money, it is almost always asked to "guarantee" the loan.Giving up monetary sovereignty and economic independence.The trick works perfectly, when great interests are at stake or, as was already said (mixing politics, economics and society), when it comes to planning the new World Order.

alexal60 Thus, the concepts and practices of the aforementioned areas of influence, of the protectorates, of the "indirect rules" with the support of the complacent dictator, to hang on the gallows at the right moment, are politically correct.But the decision to change the purchasing power of the currency is also up to the discretion of International Banking. As?Imperialist cravings are indulged, proposing the purchase of weapons with the collaboration of the leader on duty. But we operate in the gold market so that the currency of the buyer country loses purchasing power against other currencies.Finally, the now well-known International Banking Cartel seeks to ensure vast operations through the medium that is most congenial to it, Wall Street, and the "openings" of foreign financial markets, with which it establishes continuous flows of liquidity. The Fed system responds perfectly to the need. In fact, its mechanism provides that the majority capital of the Federal Reserve (initially set at 53%) is entirely in the hands of private financiers (read Morgan, Rockefeller, Kuhn Loeb, J. Henry Schroder, among the largest, all indiscriminately linked to the Rothschilds from London).That is, broad access to shares traded on Wall Street with profits from the International Bankers Cartel, thanks to "Insider Trading" and the trick of the Treasury's "Bonds". In short, liquidity flows with the issuance of unlimited banknotes, because this is what domestic law and its insistent "international projections" of a financial, economic and finally political nature should provide.Who pays?The Taxpayer, always!Small investors (in jargon, "floating": another way of defining the oppressed masses), almost always!The "Big Clients", those of John Dos Passos' Big Money, aka Wall Streeters… never!(Twenty years later, FDR, creator of a "Ghost" unprecedented in financial history, the Stock Exchange Commission, will take care of appearances).But, how did the scam of the century become law, or the Federal Reserve Act?With the help of "pressure groups", a British invention (also recommended in Washington), to get Parliament to approve.In the United States, things are a bit different, even if the amendments intervene in support of certain proposals that run counter to the Constitution. Paul Warburg, a naturalized American (but in direct line with his brother Max, who is also a banker in Frankfurt), is also a fox in politics and knows how big capital is invested properly: not only by financing wars and revolutions, but also by presidential campaigns. But the "grain" is not enough, you need the skill of the illusionist and the "Airborne hat".Democracy is introduced and (voilà!) A selected President is extracted, with all due respect to Public Opinion, as always the repository of prolonged illusions and victim of great deceptions. The rule is tacit and always in force: the Presidents are selected first, then democratically elected and, if appropriate, "replace" themselves.For example, when Abraham Lincoln thinks of printing the "Green Backs," he sends him straight to the Afterlife, where his tickets compete with no one and he can curse corrupt politicians as much as he likes.But Auguste Belmont is not a politician, just as the Erlangers are not politicians.Who they are knows the Rothschilds of London who hired them to finance the North and South in the Civil War, at the subsidized rate of 12%.The dynasties of the great bankers are prolific, but another progeny made its way towards the end of the nineteenth century, that of thoroughbred fixers, to cross with the bloodline of the statesmen. Thanks to the Morgans (Railways) and the Rockefellers (Petroleum), that is, two cartels which, added to three others, form the five "Robber Barons".The Delano and Roosevelt families may paw, but their offspring must aim for the presidency to make their way.Again to give an example, in 1901 Theodore Roosevelt (Franklin Delano Roosevelt's elderly cousin) seems the most suitable to replace the indecisive William Mc Kinley, stubborn and intolerable supporter of the gold standard in the middle of the Spanish-American war.One Republican leads to another. Mc Kinley goes to the Creator. He sends it to us the usual anarchist.Teddy is elected president, industrialists and bankers are ready for predation: Manila, Puerto Rico, the sugar cane of Cuba. Someone would like to see clearly about the strange explosion of the Maine, a cruiser of the US Navy, which sank in the bay of Havana, with 262 victims (we are in 1898). But Theo Roosevelt will explain two years later that wars just happen. Morgan and Rockefeller cheer. Part of their capital invested in the Panama Canal Company increases tenfold.

In 1913 William Howard Taft seems to have the consents that guarantee him the second presidential term, but he is a scrupulous jurist and "poor politician". The Morgans, the Rockefellers and Leopold Rothschilds, Banker in London and financial tutor of King Charles V, Saxon-Coburg-Gotha dynasty, aka Windsor, know this well (in order not to hurt his subjects, in peace and in war).Theodore Roosevelt, who advised Taft as his suitable successor in the previous elections, is a surprise candidate among the Republicans competing with his recommended, nibbling away the votes necessary to continue to reside in the White House.The game is done! It is enough to get a professor from Princeton, a democrat, also a jurist, critical but submissive, out of the hat (in 1886 he wrote "The Congressional Government" denouncing gaps in the Constitution, which he judges "permeable to corruption").But he is not a little surprised when he says "I analyze facts, and I limit myself to diagnosing, I don't prescribe remedies." This is Woodrow Wilson, 28th (Democrat) President of the United States. With him (selected) is the shadow man who is put on his heels, in the role of adviser: Colonel Edward Mandell House.The Wilson administration provides: "pressure groups" are tolerated and providential amendments are passed. Presented to a vote in Congress, the Aldrich Bill becomes the Vreeland-Aldrich Act, a law that establishes the Federal Reserve System, a powerful tool (as Vanderlip later wrote in his memoir) by which control of the world economy is exercised.Meanwhile threatening clouds are gathering over the entire planet, ready to unleash the storm. The great powers are determined to assert their colonial interests, removing long-standing obstacles.But it is on the European Theater that we witness the "game of mirrors". The signals are reflected from one side of the ocean to the other, ordering the start of a diabolical plan, orchestrated in the City of London.For the moment it has a name that will go down in history: World War I.Just that much of secrecy and massive doses of lies are enough to select the pretext to be transformed into casus belli. While waiting for the techniques of mass persuasion to be perfected, the "mysterious device" of Jekyll Island shows the effects of its perverse functioning. Doesn't the art of deceiving people also include an obligation to write history? But everything already seems predestined. The grand plan, of which the Federal Reserve is an indispensable instrument, is called, as already mentioned, the New World Order.
