Masters of Metal: China, the Rothschild Fix, and the New World CurrencyBy Rusticus As regular consumers of alternative media have likely noticed, Chinas voracious appetite for gold has been reported on ad nauseam in the wake of the 2008 Depression. Endless geopolitical and economic analysts have mused about the implications of Chinese gold accumulation, with most concluding (perhaps prematurely) that some form of gold-backed Yuan is on the horizon. Some extend this scenario further, optimistically declaring that the BRICS NDB (New Development Bank) and AIIB (Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank), led by China, will usher in a New Golden Era of progress and prosperity, spelling the end of the Western model of Central Banking tyranny. The reason for this transfer of precious metals from West to East by the Anglo-American Establishment, these pundits prognosticate, is a simple and tragic combination of incompetence and malfeasance. The aged and corrupt West must end, and in the wake of its destruction, the Phoenix of the East must rise. Does this narrative, however, have any basis in reality when viewed within the context of history? How have institutions traditionally defined as Globalists participated in satiating Chinas gold fever? Is the hand of the Red Shield, infamously and intimately involved in the metals market for over 200 years, at work, even in the East? And what, ultimately, do the answers to these questions spell for the BRICS Saviour meme? To begin answering these questions, we must analyze the history of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and the ignominious Precious Metals Fix that makes it all possible. The (Global) Fix Is In In 2010, the alternative finance community was set ablaze by the revelations of bullion trader turned whistleblower Andrew MacGuire, contending that JPMorgan and HSBC, operating as agents for the Federal Reserve, had suppressed the price of precious metals in an effort to silence the Canary in the Coal Mine amidst unprecedented money printing. By using managed selloffs via algorithmic trading bots, bullion banks drove down the price of electronic/paper metals certificates at the COMEX, effectively capping their price and ultimately driving them down to new 5-year lows. The Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) deemedMacGuires claims credible enough to warrant further investigation; led by Bart Chilton, the CFTCs probe into silver price manipulation ended in September of 2013 with the stunning declaration thatno illegal activity had occurred: Based upon the law and evidence as they exist at this time, there is not a viable basis to bring an enforcement action with respect to any firm or its employees related to our investigation of silver markets. CFTC Statement What many fail to realize is that the CFTCs conclusion istechnicallycorrect. JPMorgan and HSBC were not acting in violation of anylegalstructure; they were, in fact, merely implementing the dictates of the long-standing LBMA Metals Fix: The Opium Wars changed this nearly overnight. Beyond the engineered addiction and mercantile foothold the opium trade gave the East India Companyin China, it also made way for the wholesale looting of Chinas silver wealth: From China, the Company bought tea, silk and porcelain. The Chinese wanted silver in return. Over the next 100 years tea became a very popular drink in England, and there was a fear that too much silver was leaving the country to pay for it. To stop this happening, the Company became involved in a triangular trade by smuggling opium (a highly addictive and illegal drug) from India into China. The Company grew opium in India. They were looking for something that the Chinese would accept instead of silver, to pay for the goods they bought at Canton. Opium was a valued medicine which could deaden pain, assist sleep and reduce stress. But it was also seriously addictive and millions Chinese became dependent on the drug. British Library With China gutted of her material wealth, the Chinese silver standard came to an end in November of 1935, a mere decade before the implementation of the first truly Global Gold Standard, the Bretton Woods agreement. The path was set for a worldwide metals price-fixing mechanism, and the LBMA was more than happy to provide. Front-running the Bretton Woods agreement by decades, the LBMAs own gold fix run by N.M. Rothschild was officially established in 1919: The British analogue to the Council on Foreign Relations, Chatham House, seems to suggest the latter. Chatham House Rule and the Gold-Backed SDR Established in the wake of World War I at the Paris Peace Conference, the Royal Institute of International Affairs was created. Fulfilling the dream of the Last Will and Testament of Cecil Rhodes, the RIIA also birthed its more widely known American outpost, the Council on Foreign Relations. Its headquarters, Chatham House, have become the RIIAs colloquial moniker. The Chatham House Gold Taskforces premier publication, Gold and the International Monetary System, maintains the more typical Newspeak of Globalist documents with its somewhatreserved analysis; its most revealing passages, however, greatly reinforce the thesis already outlined herein. Is there any evidence to suggest that China desires inclusion into the SDR basket? Would they allow the West to use their gold as collateral against the SDR (or something akin to it) as a reserve currency as opposed to the Yuan? Enter stage East. Crouching PBOC, Hidden Bank for International Settlements Meet the latest actor in our twisted drama, Zhou Xiaochuan: Think he can pull it off? Unfortunately for those still steeped in the milieu of the BRICS Saviour Paradigm, I dont think he particularly wants to. He probably never has, as long before Xiaochuan began Chinas purchase of Rothschild fire sale gold via the LBMA, he joined the Board of Directors of the Bank for International Settlements. For readers not yet aware of the specific role the BIS has to play in the Rings Within Rings structure of the Anglo-American Establishment, it is referred to by Georgetown Professor, Globalist insider, and whistleblower Carroll Quigley as the apex of the powers of financial capitalism. The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the worlds central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central banksought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world. Professor Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope It is to this apex which Xiaochuan counts himself as a proud member of, and it is viathis apex which he published his official position on Chinese precious metals, the future of the Yuan, and the SDR. The title of this BIS paper? Reform The International Monetary System,andits vision for the future is virtually identical to that of Chatham House and the Anglo-American Establishment. Xiaochuans damning statements as head of the PBOC and BIS Board Member are not his first documented foray into international financial debauchery. Precious metals researcher and forensic historian Charles Savoie contends that Zhou Xiaochuan had participated in the wholesale liquidation of paper silver contracts at the behest of the LBMA. If true, this would have effectively lowered the price of silver from 2000-2004 in favor of the COMEX pricing mechanism. The Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA)pressed the LBMA on potential silver price manipulation via Chinese silver liquidation, much to the chagrin of Jeffrey Christian of the CPM Group, who referred to Chinas paper silver dumping asa myth.A masterful PR move in providing an alibi of sortsfor Xiaochuans silver manipulation, as the CPM Group is a 1986 spin-off of none other than the criminal banking syndicate known asGoldman Sachs. The same Goldman Sachs that, in 2003, coined the term BRICS and forecast the rise of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa in a paper entitled, Dreaming With BRICs: The Path to 2050.Bear in mind, this is a full four years before the BRICs even existed. But a similar American saying also comes to mind: Dont let the fox inside the hen house. In Closing Has the fog before the eyes of Free Humanity begun to dissipate? Hopefully enough to realize that the BRICS anti-hegemon are no friends of human autonomy. In viewing the BRICS NDBs recent appointments to upper management, the organizations participants are barely distinguishable from World Bank and IMF rosters,and while thecontrolled demolition of Chinas financial crisis just begins to emerge, so, too, will the pre-arranged monetary solution to the woes it shall create, as outlined throughout this article. An end to the Debt and Death paradigm will not come from national, supranational, or hierarchical structures, but from those seeking Freedom themselves. Unparalleled advancements in decentralization of trade and manufacturing. Truly local agricultural independence. Open-source software, not to mention news. Modern pioneers in liberty are already making great strides in these and many other fields, and it is from these men and women which hope springs eternal. Not Zhou Xiaochuans Globalist gold hoard and whatever New World monetary paradigm will be foist upon us in the wake of the next financial crisis.

(www.statelesshomesteading.com) I wish I could say, I dont believe this article at all, but it actually puts a few of the pieces together to follow the Globalists end game puzzle. The Rothschilds and the Worlds banking cabal are evil to their core. Glad to know that THE LORD and FATHER is in charge and will exact his judgement in his time.. It is obvious the positions we are relying on to lead our societies in a healthy, honorable and HONEST manner have been infiltrated by the worst of us. We only have ourselves to blame for when this occurs it is OUR (the good men and women of the world) responsibility to remove the corrupt from these positions of power. Referencing the article, I have pondered the rise of different powers being another ploy to sustain the old greed in a new way. All of mankind is at a serious crossroads right now and what we collectively do in the next few years will determine our fate or fortune. The greed that drives current powers, no matter how convincing or intimidating, is a non sustainable form of government and is self defeating not to mention the lack of choice and consent OF the governed being a major problem in society. Small minds speak of things. Mediocre minds talk about people but great minds think of IDEAS. We have outgrown this form of oppression and need to take bold steps toward our true destiny. Our apathy and fear has allowed the parasites and oppressors to grow large and strong and it will take hard work and hard times to undo this, but I see no other way forward and I believe that they (the parasites) themselves see this as well. They have painted themselves in a corner and only have one tool and all problems look like nails to them. There is no future in this path, but we must not let fear cloud our minds for together we can do many great things. And so it begins. The Big Plan is admirably summarised here. http://redefininggod.com/understanding-the-nwo-strategy/ God bless all! Great blog. He always has a very keen eye on the banksters. The Phoenix article was groundbreaking for its clarity and synthesis. A beacon of light at a crucial hour. Agreed !!! I make it a third. Hope many more look at this as I find it very probable. My solution eliminate the head and the hands no longer function. (P.S Let the hounds come.) This article was my attempt at fleshing out Kens vision, and his blog is linked a few times throughout. Definitely wish more people followed his excellent work, he has a gift for sniffing out open source documentation. The West is/was the washboard and laundered the first round. heres a pic of the Boston Federal Reserve America is not sovereign-never has been. An end to the Debt and Death paradigm will not come from national, supranational, or hierarchical structures, but from those seeking Freedom themselves One minor step taken by myself, which seems in many ways to help. I am diligently opposed to handling currency directly. My wife suggests or attains direct deposits, and pays bills via debit card or automatic bill pay from the account. Actually loathe currency and/or money, or the idea it allegedly represents. Honestly see no need in it when if we all shared there are resources enough, and if not we could share in creating ways to ensure they were enough (meaning without genocides, sterilizations, ethnic cleanings, police brutality, war). Do not think, believe or feel Im correct. Merely expressing a bit of view through my eyes, take or leave it as you choose. Excellent research. TPTBs plan for a gold backed global currency first came onto my radar listening to a teleconference by Trilateralist expert Patrick Wood (in 2008, I believe). I dont recall what group he attributed the plan to, but they already had a working name (much like the Amero) for a gold backed global currency incorporating the French or Latin term for gold. If this was a Trilateralist connected group, then the odds are this was not simply the floating of a random proposal given the Trilateralists are less of a think tank and more of a hands on implementation-of-policy cabal. The road map is undeniable at this point. The SDR as the transitional global currency (also confirmed by Wood a number of years ago); followed by a gold backed global digital currency (a historical double think and classic bait and switch); eventually morphing into some kind of resource / energy based credit system in an uber micromanaged dystopia with shades hinted at in Chinas new social credit scoring system = cogs in the machine. I didnt go into this in the article, but we share the same hypothesis, Redwood. Some kind of energy credit scheme will be the Global Currencys final manifestation, but a basket of commodities and currencies with gold at its core seems to make the most sense in this Technocratic transition. Gold is a fixed store of the energy used to mine it. It could even be priced in the hydrocarbon units required to pull out every ounce, depending on who ultimately acquires the final pricing mechanism. I see no reason why the Rothschilds and their ilk would abandon this tool so late in the game, so Im left to assume the multinational Sustainable Developers will have their say in the SDR-esque system to come. Wish Id figured this out back in 2008, too heck, I wish Id known a lot of things about the world in 2008 that I now know! Patrick Wood is a fabulous researcher, makes one wonder what the alt-media sphere would look like today if he and Sutton were still the Dynamic Duo of olde.
