Chapter 14
Man Proposes But God Disposes
We come to the end of Astle’ diligent account of ancient banking running, and ruining, ancient politics. This reminded me of my such awakening, if only instinctual and born of no understanding of what money was. In 2012 I read the news that reported on the “funding” of the two presidential political campaigns of O’Bama and Romney. I am not a voter, and cared not who was plastic king for the next four years. The top 15 campaign contributions for each of the political foes, came from the same 15 banks, all international organizations. Even a financial idiot, making$10.25 an hour unloading trucks on a grocery store night crew, ccould clearly see that this meant that either man would be owned, literally, by the same people. I reflected then, that the term campaign, used in war, for whom common men did the suffering, and was ever funded by debt incurred collectively by the common folk who stayed at home working, had been chosen as a form of limited disclosure. Just as Cyrus[circa 550 B.C.] crushed Croesus on behalf of the bankers that the Lydian Prince had driven out from behind his father’s throne, and each Roman emperor [from 30 B.C. to A.D. 525] operated in debt to those same institutions, staffed by men of all and no race, outsiders to all the world, it was so in A.D. 2012.
As I headed east to rejoin this book for a final fifth read, I watched a news video by defrocked TV newsman named O’Riley, who used to yell at people like a carnival barker, but who, in his 70s, seems quite serene. He is a personal friend of the Trump of Doom, president of this strange time. He claims to agree with every moral principle espoused by Trump. Yet, he cautioned the temporary king of America that despite all admiration and agreement held between Trump and his populist supporters, that, in reference to tariffs, “messing with people’s money,” would cost the king to fall. That this Christian man, supporting of his Christian president in all other things, would turn away and wash his hands of his leader’s plight should his own banking investments suffer, is evidence that there is One True American God: Money, which is to say SATAN.
As Luke and Mathew before him wrote in the Gospels, and was writ in the Book of Job, first scripture to be written, Satan has for fief from his Heavenly Father, God Almighty, the earth, the human world. Here we are, with our primary concern, most of us, the getting and keeping of a “Job.” As Jason Buckely reminded me two nights past, “Job” is Hebrew for “persecuted,” and for that, we will even deny our professed faith and belief, kept in secret so as not to affront the faith of our fellow citizens, which is MONEY and its gun-totting, prison-owning agent, GOVERNMENT.
Mathew and Luke’s message on persecution will be discussed at the end of this book, Enemy of All Mankind.
Astle, ends with a brief chapter of warning and review, which I shall leave to the reader, his case complete at the end of Chapter 13.
Atle places the whore of the world as described in Revelations as a postscript to his work on page 224:
“And upon her forehead was a name written, a mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother of Whores And Of Abominations Of The Earth.”
So, Timur, whose name meant Iron, having sacked Babylon in defense of his homeland, having defeated some 30 banker slave kings, and even the scions of Genghis Khan, addressed himself to a king of Spain, simply as, “I, Iron, Servant of God.”
So, I leave the reader of this to wonder at Timur, that most unlikely avenger of Sparta, Land of the Silent Men, whose money was iron, until their women were seduced by silver and gold.
