With a focus on the Plutocrats, Goldsmiths, Super-Rich Insiders, and their Allies and
what they are conspiratorially doing to manipulate the financial markets, make more
profits, rip us off and install a world government under their control
By R. D. Bradshaw
Paul Craig Roberts, a former official in the Ronald Reagan presidency, has written some excellent articles over the years which should make Americans be concerned about the direction now being chartered in Washington. He did it again on Feb 9, 2009 when rense.com published his article on “Ship of Fools.” In this very pregnant and incisive article, Roberts asked— “Is there intelligent life in Washington, DC?” His conclusion was no and he proceeded to offer some evidence in support of his thesis.
His Arguments
Roberts wrote: “The US economy is imploding, and Obama is being led by his government of neconservatives and Israeli agents into a quagmire in Afghanistan that will bring the US into confrontation with Russia, and possibly China, American's largest creditor.” He then added icing to his argument by focusing on the deterioration in the US economy and particularly in US employment figures which are manipulated lies, as he admits. He then says: “In other words, without all the manipulations of the data from a government that lies to us every time it opens its mouth, the US unemployment rate is already at depression levels.”
His argument then devolves to what seems to be in the minds of Obama and his advisors with an obvious expansion of US military adventures and wars abroad— this time in Afghanistan and Iran (which would theoretically answer much of America’s employment problems). But there are problems here as Roberts admits.
He asks: “Where does the money come from to support an army in the field of 650,000, an army 4.3 times larger than US forces in Iraq, a war that has cost us $3 trillion in out-of-pocket and already incurred future costs. This money would have to be raised in addition to the $3 trillion US budget deficit that is the result of Bush's financial sector bailout, Obama's stimulus package, and the rapidly failing economy. When economies tank, as the American one is doing, tax revenues collapse…
“The Washington Morons, and morons they are, have given no thought as to how they are going to finance a fiscal year 2009 budget deficit of some two to three trillion dollars. The practically nonexistent US saving rate cannot finance it. The trade surpluses of our trading partners, such as China, Japan, and Saudi Arabia, cannot finance it.
“The US government really has only two possibilities for financing its budget deficit. One is a second collapse in the stock market, which would drive the surviving investors with what they have left into ‘safe’ US Treasury bonds. The other is for the Federal Reserve to monetize the Treasury debt” by printing money to buy the US Treasury bonds. He then concluded that the dollar will be in serious trouble. Once this happens, “the US dollar will cease to be the reserve currency and big dollar holders will sell, hoping to get out before others as the US dollar will become worthless, the currency of a banana republic…”
In what seems to be a paradox, Roberts notes that “Obama's Keynesian advisers have learned with a vengeance Milton Friedman's lesson that the Great Depression resulted from the Federal Reserve permitting a contraction of the supply of money and credit. In the Great Depression good debts were destroyed by monetary contraction. Today bad debts are being preserved by the expansion of money and credit, and the US Treasury is jeopardizing its credit standing and the dollar's reserve currency status with enormous quarterly bond auctions as far as the eye can see.”
Roberts then focuses on the US moves to more war in Asia. He notes the unreality in which the US government operates— “which is beyond belief. A bankrupt government that cannot pay its bills without printing money is rushing headlong into wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran. According to the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Analysis, the cost to the US taxpayers of sending a single soldier to fight in Afghanistan or Iraq is $775,000 per year! The world has never seen such total mindlessness. Napoleon's and Hitler's march into Russia were rational acts compared to the mindless idiocy of the United States government.
“Obama's war in Afghanistan is the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. After seven years of conflict, there is still no defined mission or endgame scenario for US forces in Afghanistan. When asked about the mission, a US military official told NBC News, ‘Frankly, we don't have one.’” Even Obama admitted the lack of a defined mission in Afghanistan in a talk to House Democrats on Feb 5th.
In terms of the leadership in Washington, in its alleged role of working for and serving America and the American people (which is ostensibly the truth), Roberts has made a series of excellent points. And from the viewpoint of America and the American people, the Washington leadership is indeed stupid, incompetent and in the single digit IQ category. But what if the leadership in Washington does not work for America or the American people?
Long ago, in my life, I discovered the real world out there that there is a gang/team/Cabal of plutocrats who rule the United States. So while Americans and even other people can scream and holler about the US being a democracy or a republic, the truth is that it is a plutocracy (as suggested by Milan Martin in his book on “Lucifer’s Children”). In the vein of the ruling plutocracy (which in the main consists of a group of super rich international bankers in New York and London), is there an IQ problem in Washington?
My Contrary View on the IQ
So while it is extremely easy to conclude that the leaders in Washington are a bunch of idiots and incompetent morons (of course, this view was especially easy under the absurd Bush), I submit that there is some incredible and perhaps even unbelievable intelligence and preplanning involved at the highest levels of power—not for America and the American people; but rather for the people who elect the leaders and control their decisions and motions. Yes, the elected leaders are puppets, on a string, merely doing what they need to do to be elected and reelected.
While the real level of global plutocratic power is in New York and London, instead of Washington, it is true that Washington does have a band of lackeys who are extremely powerful, in their own rights, in carrying out the instructions from the real plutocratic rulers who operate from behind the scenes (this real world type of thing is described, discussed and proven in articles by this writer appearing in previous Goldsmiths and at www.analysis-news.com).
From these many articles written by this writer, it has to be concluded that there is much IQ and enormous preplanning involved in terms of what is going on in Washington. This effort may seem to be stupid, moronic and ridiculous to some people. But in reality, it is not. In fact, there is a carefully conceived plan and motion underway to accomplish a number of intelligent objectives which I have already addressed at some length in the Goldsmiths, parts VII, X, XII, XVII, XX, etc. Thus, all of this supposed stupidity is no accident or chance happening.
As a minimum, I accept and believe in the wisdom and thinking of the intelligent, clever, cunning Franklin Rosenfeldt/Roosevelt who said that if it happens in politics, it was planned that way. I know that this thinking is hard to believe by many persons who blindly accept the nightly news from the controlled media. But it is the real world out there.
In this real world environment, it is fairly easy to sit down and draw a number of conclusions to describe what is happening in fact—reasons which can make some people believe that Washington is indeed nuts or stupid (if one wants to believe in the tooth fairy that Washington serves America and the American people). But my position is contrary because I don’t believe that Washington serves America or the American people. I take it that Washington serves the plutocratic bosses who run things in America.
The Reasons for the Recession/Depression, Coming Wars, etc.
The previous Goldsmiths articles and my web site at www.analysis-news.com discuss at length the several reasons why Roberts is wrong on the IQ levels in the real leadership in Washington. I don’t propose discussing these realities to any extent as they are already addressed at length in the Goldsmiths and at my website. But I will summarize them here.
1. For years now, it has been apparent that the US financial structure is about to implode in a giant hyperinflationary blow off. The plutocrat bankers have fully understood this coming time for some time now. While the ruling Cabal could not totally prevent this future, they could impose a controlled deflationary fall on America which would delay or defer this eventuality as much as possible. That’s the story of the real estate and commodity crashes in 2007-2009.
2. As discussed in Goldsmiths, Part XXI, it was clear that the US government and privately owned Federal Reserve Bank would be spending huge sums of money bailing out the big banks. They could see the handwriting on the wall that the US would need to sell vast amounts of new IOU bonds, notes and debts. It is clear that this motivation was strong to help them propel the dollar up as high as it has gone.
3. In order to more easily break commodities and achieve some of their other goals (like suppressing the value of gold and silver), the Cabal has also opted to cause a huge, unjustified increase in the value of the US dollar. They started this in earnest in Sep 2008.
4. With some deflation in agricultural products (or at least a slow down in inflation), the plutocrats are trying to buy up some assets which could have a good future—like agricultural land to produce food. Food will be in short supply in the coming days. The fat cats know this. I submit that they will try to acquire as much US farm land as possible and regardless of how heavily land will be taxed in the future.
5. Just like the big money interests have been acquiring farm land and other assets in this fall, we can bank on it that persons like the Rothschilds and other money changers are busy acquiring gold and precious metals with every dip. Like I have said for years—the price of gold will explode up when the Rothschilds either own most/all of it or when they lose control of it in the financial markets.
6. Russia generally and Putin particularly have not been playing according to the plutocrat rules. Putin actually has somewhat cracked down on certain super rich oligarchs who have been ripping off the Russian people. The world media has responded by charging Russia with anti-Semitism. The Cabal’s take down of commodity prices has brought great trouble to Russia and other producers of raw materials. This is a type of punishment on Russia for not submitting to the Western plutocrats.
7. Just like the commodity falls have put great hurt on Russia, they have hit the Muslim world enormously. Some years ago, Iraq under Saddam tried to abandon the US dollar for gold and other hard currencies. Iran has had the same motion underway. The plutocrats took Iraq down and have been looking for ways to do Iran in. While war against Iran is still on the drawing boards, it is clear that the take-down in commodity prices has hurt Iran greatly in the last year.
8. WWIII is still on the way. The big boys calling the shots have had this scheme on the table for years now. At some point in time, they will kick it off. It appears that they are now building up some hostility between the West and a combine in the South and East (of Russia, China and the Muslim states).
9. The super rich bankers have had their eyes set on a world currency and a world central bank--as explained in Goldsmiths, Part I, published by Goldseek.com in August 2008. In that Goldsmiths, I mentioned the probability of regional banks and currencies to precede the ultimate one world system. In North America, we may see the Amero currency soon come into play (and this eventuality may also have contributed to their decision to boost the dollar so high in the last year or so).
10. Of course, all along, the goal of the Cabal is a one world government where it can really have power and wealth. The present recession/depression and WWIII are just necessary preludes to bring on world government as I have described at length in the Goldsmiths and at my website www.analysis-news.com.
11. In the immediate here and now, and in recognition of the fact that the dollar will soon go down the tubes, the Cabal has decided to take whatever remains of value in the US economy and transfer it to the big banks. That’s why first the Fed and now the Treasury have been transferring trillions of dollars to the banks in the form of bail outs, purchase of toxic assets, infusion of capital, etc. While the controlled media has disclosed some part of this, much of the trillions passed by the Fed to the banks has been done in secrecy (after all, the Fed operates in secrecy and has no compulsion to disclose its secret operations to the gullible public). Thus, the big banks will get whatever value remains in the US dollar before the dollar finally enters its death throes.
A Revisit to the Great Depression of the 1930s.
Roberts’ comments above briefly touch upon the depression of the 1930s and its differences with the United States of today. I don’t propose devoting any particular time to this situation but there are a few points worth mentioning. Here let me revisit some of my comments from the Goldsmiths, Part XX—viz:
“The first big thing which very few people grasp in today’s America is that the American people in 1929 were considerably different people than they are today in 2008. They are different in almost all aspects—spiritually, morally, racially, religiously, culturally, politically, socially, economically, psychologically, mentally, philosophically, etc.
“I don’t propose putting forth the volumes of writings necessary here to prove and define all of the changes which are manifested in those cited areas. But I will offer several of the major issues which have completely changed the generic Americans of 1929 and those of today.
“First, there has been a total change in demographics of the America of 1929 and the America of today. We are simply different people demographically.
“Second, the philosophical impact of Sabbatianism (as discussed in Goldsmiths, Part V) was obscure, minor and largely irrelevant in 1929; whereas today it completely dominates the entire American leadership, society and culture. It particularly surfaces in morality issues. For example, today’s American society is basically immoral, depraved and sick and especially from the aspects of sexual matters...
“Third, there was no US welfare state in 1929. People either had to work or go hungry. There was an inherent work ethic and the people worked willingly and did not expect the state to take care of them.
“Fourth, today’s America was totally different economically. Back in 1929, most Americans owned their homes and some land. Most were still on the farms back then. They were independent and had little need beyond their capacity to produce those needs. The nation and its people were not in debt into the sky.
“Fifth, the American money system was still largely based on gold and silver. It was a sound money system. Of course, FDR removed the gold backing in 1933 and the silver came down in the 1960s. Now, we have a fiat currency not backed by anything—except the goodwill of the American people to pay it off. And that option is simply not out there.
“And last, the American military has completely changed from 1929 and indeed even from 1941 until today. Could we fight and win a major war today against a worthy opponent? I don’t think so.
The Bottom Line
Through massive spending of money and the realities of war, Rosenfeldt lifted the US out of the great depression. But today is considerable different than the way things were back in the 1930s when FDR came to power. But the Obama efforts to repeat the tactics of Rosenfeldt will never save the day for the ruling plutocrats. For sure, America’s financial future is in serious trouble.
Back issues of the Goldsmiths, by the editor of the Analysis of News, can be accessed from a Google or Yahoo search engine by typing in “R. D. Bradshaw” Goldsmiths. Several hundred web sites can be found with the back issues and with translations to Spanish, Italian, German, Chinese and other foreign languages.

Finally, the “Archives-Goldsmiths” of this website (www.analysis-news.com ) has all of the Goldsmith articles issued to date.
Besides the revelations contained in the Goldsmiths’ articles, the work of the plutocratic financial market manipulators to conspiratorially manipulate and control the financial markets (to make more profits and install a world government under their management) is also addressed at length in the periodic analysis of the news and in other articles produced at www.analysis-news.com. This website has an article of interest to any person interested in understanding the market Manipulators. It is the Hidden Secret of the Manipulators, why they succeed and how to follow their manipulations.
Readers of the above articles are invited to visit www.analysis-news.com and become a subscriber to regularly read some of the material from the world of information which will further reveal how extensive the manipulation, control and dishonesty realities are in the financial, currency and commodity markets, not only in the US but indeed around the world.
