Gold


"And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold."—Genesis 13:2
"But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be
for jewels of fine gold."—Job 28:12-17

"Allow me to control the issue and the nation's money
and I care not who makes its laws!"—18th century banker Amshell Rothschild

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties
than standing armies . . . Already they have raised up
a money aristocracy that has set the government at defiance.
The issuing power (of money) should be taken from the banks
and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs."—Thomas Jefferson

The British economist, John Maynard Keynes, is famous for one aphorism:
"In the long run, we are all dead," which he applied to the operations of the price system,
and one phrase: "barbarous relic," which phrase he applied to the gold standard.

"Elect, elect, elect, tax, tax, tax, spend, spend, spend,
for the people are too damned stupid to understand."
—President Franklin D. Roosevelt's aide Harry Hopkins

Lenin's famous quote on gold was
that gold would someday be used for public urinals.

"Stripped of its academic jargon, the welfare state is nothing more than a mechanism
by which governments confiscate the wealth of the productive members of a society
to support a wide variety of welfare schemes . . . This is the shabby secret
of the welfare statists' tirades against gold."—Alan Greenspan

"The very thing that makes gold a bad place for your money most of the time
makes it an excellent place occasionally. It has no sales or profits; but its sales do not decline.
It benefits from no technological enhancements; but it needs none.
It produces no earnings . . . but it announces no earnings disappointments either.
It holds no press conferences; but it tells no lies. It uses no leverage; but it doesn't go bankrupt.
You can't buy it with No-Money-Down . . . but it doesn't get foreclosed.
It doesn't go anywhere; but it doesn't go away."

The Goose That Lay the Golden Eggs—Aesop
One day a countryman going to the nest of his goose found there an egg all yellow and glittering.
When he took it up it was as heavy as lead and he was going to throw it away, because he thought
a trick had been played on him. But he took it home on second thoughts, and soon found that it was
an egg of pure gold. Every morning the same thing occured, and he grew rich by selling his eggs.
As he grew rich he grew greedy; and thinking to get at once all the gold the goose could give,
he killed it and opened it only to find nothing. Greed often overreaches itself.


"The selling of America’s gold in order to effect the raising of the value of the dollar abroad is but folly and will return to the doorstep of this nation an even greater crisis in the economy. The giving away or the selling away of this gold upon demand or at a price is one of the greatest mistakes that has been made by this president and other presidents of this nation, and the very demands of de Gaulle in previous years have depleted the focal point of light and of gold in this economy.

"You cannot exchange paper for gold—a paper that is not backed—and think that you come out in a balance. There is no balance. And this deception—partly because of ignorance and partly because of the manipulation of your president by the fallen ones—is creating crisis after crisis. When the head of state of this nation fails utterly to challenge the fallen ones who enslave peoples in the nations of the earth, there is a dropping of the torch of freedom and a great karma that accrues to the people."

Gautama Buddha
April 23, 1978

"The United States abdicated her responsibility to provide the abundant life when she went off the gold standard. This happened in stages. On April 5, 1933, President Roosevelt declared a national emergency and said he was depriving American citizens of the right to own gold and use it as a medium of exchange.
This is the most hellish and damnable act ever perpetrated against the people of this nation! And they don’t even know it! [highlightrd by webmaster]

"President Nixon took the final step on August 15, 1971, when he suspended the convertibility of the dollar for gold internationally. We were then fully on the paper standard. In recent years, important steps have been taken towards remonetizing gold. Legislation passed in December 1974 allowed American citizens to own gold. Gold clause contracts, not covered in this legislation, were made legal as of October 28, 1977. And, on December 17, 1985, President Reagan signed the Gold Bullion Coin Act which required the U.S. Treasury to mint and sell
gold coins which have limited legal tender status. But other steps must be taken before gold circulates as legal tender in the U.S. economy. Essentially, we are still on the paper standard.

"This is a violation of the spirit and the letter of Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution, which says, 'No State Shall . . . make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.'

"The framers intended Congress to use gold and silver coin as money even though they did not explicitly state that Article I, Section 10 applied to the federal government. This can be demonstrated by the statements of a number of the framers, a text analysis of the Constitution and by Supreme Court decisions. The Founding Fathers’ intent is also seen in the actions of the First Congress, which in 1792 created a monetary system based on gold and silver.

"At the time the Constitution was being framed, the nation was in the midst of a terrible inflation caused by the expansion of the Continental, a paper currency. During the debate over the wording of Article I, Section 10, Roger Sherman, a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, said he thought this 'a favorable crisis for crushing paper money.' Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both wrote about the evils of paper money.

"But, contrary to the framers’ intent, bankers plotted to control the currency. They began, as we saw in Part 1, at Jekyll Island in November 1910. The Federal Reserve Act which they designed gave the banking community control of the nation’s money in violation of Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, which gives to Congress the power “to coin money” and “regulate the value thereof.”

"Now the Federal Reserve system (the Fed), serving the interests of the banking community, exercises the unilateral right to expand and contract the supply of money and credit and create periods of boom and bust. The ramifications of this state of affairs are almost beyond calculation. Today we could have a financial collapse worse than the Great Depression of the 1930s. And we know that the power elite used the depression to concentrate power in the central government. Doubtless they would like to do the same in the future.

"If we have another depression, it will be America’s own karma because we the people have turned over our power and our abundant life to the godless dominant minority, the same Watchers, this time coming in the guise of the bankers and their elite rulership over the Federal Reserve system and its 12 member banks.

"In turning over control of our monetary system to the fallen ones and allowing them to retain it, we are giving them the power to bring about the decline and ruination of our economy. The Fed’s ability to expand credit is what is behind the out-of-control national debt, consumer debt, farm debt, domestic energy loan debt as well as the debt bomb—loans to foreign nations which will likely never be repaid. These debts taken together, especially the over $2 trillion national debt created by deficit spending, are such a major problem that it would take a president of the stature of Abraham Lincoln and greater to turn it around.

"The Ascended Masters have explained to us that gold is necessary for the stability of the economies of the nations as well as for the stability of the individual consciousness. On October 10, 1977, the Ascended Master known as the God of Gold said the formation of the Federal Reserve system 'must be challenged and reversed because it is no part of the divine plan of the United States . . . The American people must understand the great fraud that has been perpetrated upon them by this printing of money without backing. The grinding out of money by the printing presses will surely cause the collapse of the economies of the nations . . . The salvation of the soul of America depends upon the reestablishment of gold.'

Elizabeth C. Prophet


" . . . You have seen therefore the signs in the heavens and the signs on Wall Street of conditions in the economy that do not augur well for America or the world. You have seen the frantic and frenetic movement of those who control international banking and the money systems and the currencies of the nations, moving almost in a stepped-up film in fast motion here and there and everywhere to create more money to stop the inevitable descent of karma.

"Blessed ones, think how ludicrous this is: Can paper money forestall the karma of the seed of the wicked?

"Thus, we counsel you again to remember the safety in gold. We counsel you to consider wisely how you shall use those funds that are already in your hands and how you will not plight your troth with a money system, with an investment system that you cannot control and that you cannot trust. I trust that all of you have put behind you the days when you have used your decrees to call for the raising of your investments or your stocks. Understand, beloved, that it is in some respects wishful thinking because it does interfere again with the karmic law of those who are controlling those stocks and those corporations who do not have the good karma.

"In bygone days many of you have sent good light after darkness and fed into such corporations a momentum of your light. Thank God for the Christ-discrimination of your own Holy Christ Self who has not permitted it, for without this mediatorship many of you would have made serious karma by sending light into quarters where that light is of no avail. For the Law of God has spoken in the beginning and it is written in the annals of Enoch that this Watcher must come to naught and that the Nephilim gods are judged in the end, as well as their offspring and their giants. To see the end, then, of the era of the seed of the wicked is to behold the dawn of a golden age.

"Know, then, that as you call for the judgment of a civilization of Cain and of the fallen angels, you must be prepared to see the consequences of the call. And therefore, it is necessary to buy time for yourselves and for this Community. So the cycles of the elect have been extended as Saint Germain announced it.

"Understand, beloved, that the securing of oneself by the violet flame is powerful, even as the violet flame judgment is powerful. The very violet flame in the earth is a judgment of the totalitarian movements and of dictatorships.

"When you stand before the altar of God, therefore, and demand the judgments of the fallen ones, whether in Wall Street, Washington or Moscow, you must understand that at any moment and hour your calls may become instantaneously physical, and you must ask yourselves, Are you ready for that physical judgment to descend? And I daresay that most of you are not prepared for what the Lord God is prepared to deliver in answer to your calls.

"Therefore, our recommendation to you is that you accelerate the Seventh Ray consciousness. For that Seventh Ray momentum of violet flame in your auras will literally make you a part of the etheric octave, beginning to become a part of the higher sphere. And if you will journey on the etheric plane to that chamber of the cave of violet flame at the Grand Teton, you will also come to the realization that you are indeed day by day becoming part of the fire itself, even as the seraphim of God who are a part of your being and do pass through you daily as you call to them are a part of that fire. What a grace and gift of mercy, seraphim and violet flame angels purifying you and preparing you for heaven’s ascent!

"Blessed ones, secure in the violet flame means to be secure in the earth and in the earth body and in all ways that pertain to the physical body and its needs. This must be the first order of business for this entire year for Keepers of the Flame. Let us see, then, twenty-four months dedicated to the absolute physical survival of Keepers of the Flame."

Omri-Tas
January 1, 1988


Consider the financial reporter B.C. Forbes's account: "Picture a party of the nation's greatest bankers stealing out of New York on a private railroad car under cover of darkness, stealthily hieing hundreds of miles South, embarking on a mysterious launch, sneaking onto an island deserted by all but a few servants, living there a full week under such rigid secrecy that the names of not one of them was once mentioned lest the servants learn the identity and disclose to the world this strangest, most secret expedition in the history of American finance."

According to this scenario, the banking houses of 3. P. Morgan and of Kuhn, Loeb and Company—in concert with the Rockefeller 'Standard Oil group' at National City Bank—bought influence in Congress and invested in the career of Presidential hopeful Woodrow Wilson in order to secure legislation favorable to their conspiratorial designs. The details of this plot, which resulted in the Federal Reserve System and thereby delivered control of the Nation's money into the hands of the conspirators, allegedly were hatched at the Jekyll Island
ultra-secret meeting.

The chief figures at this clandestine gathering were: Senator Nelson Aldrich (Nelson Rockefeller's namesake), who was then the head of the National Monetary Commission; Frank Vanderlip, president of the National City Bank of New York; Henry P Davison, senior partner of J. P Morgan Company; Charles D. Norton, president of the First National Bank of New York; Paul Warburg of Kuhn, Loeb and Company (he was the principal author of the draft of the Federal Reserve bill); and Col. Edward Mandel House (he would become President Woodrow Wilson's closest advisor, even though without official title).

Especially sinister implications are often drawn in conspiracy literature from the biographies of two of the participants. Paul Warburg, a Jew who emigrated to the United States from Germany in 1904, was the brother of Felix Warburg, also of Kuhn, Loeb, and of the international bankers Max and Fritz Warburg of Germany. Col. House, on the other hand, was a Texan "connected" to the London banking establishment by virtue of his father's Civil War exploits as a blockade runner for the Confederacy. But his greater notoriety derived from a novel he had written the year before Wilson was elected President.

That novel, titled Philip Dru, Administrator, ostensibly endorsed 'a detailed plan for the future government of the United States' which 'would establish Socialism as dreamed by Karl Marx.' In conspiracy literature, these men are condemned on the basis of these relationships. Admittedly, the relationships provided opportunity for scheming, but 'nonbelievers' are not likely to be persuaded by such circumstantial evidence.

The Jekyll Island meeting was indeed convened in secret, but it did not remain a secret for long. And although the imagery of the supposed intrigues on Jekyll Island may be fully consistent with what would be expected of powerful personalities, there is no verifiable evidence that any activities at that meeting constituted conspiracy or fraud. Unquestionably, a draft of legislation—or at least the broad outlines—for a U.S. central bank was drawn there; participants in the meeting subsequently acknowledged and celebrated their "achievement."

For example, Frank Vanderlip recalled in his autobiography, "Our secret expedition to Jekyll Island was the occasion of the actual conception of what eventually became the Federal Reserve System. The essential points . . . were all contained in the Federal Reserve Act as it was passed."

There was and is nothing illegal about collaboration of this type—that is, collaboration among interested parties. Allegations that "much of the influence exerted to get the Federal Reserve Act passed was done behind the scenes, principally by two shadowy, non-elected persons: The German immigrant, Paul Warburg, and Colonel Edward Mandel House of Texas" describe the way the American legislative process often has worked. Somebody behind the scenes initiates an idea or a working draft that subsequently is publicly debated, revised, and either rejected or adopted. Continued
