Colonial Campaigns Club (CCC)

Having read and reread Pawns in the Game (found on www.amazon.com) by William Guy Carr I wanted to pass along his insightful comments on the cause of the American Revolution. While we know that taxes were one of the commonly noted causes here is probably THE real cause. Most of you that know me know that I believe in a conspiratorial viewpoint of history but that I am a discerning reader and dont swallow everything out there. I have a find library of books that deal with all sorts of things but that the real thrust by those in international circles is for a one world government with a one world religion and economy - to which I and many others are opposed. (see http://www.shareintl.org/) for more on this coming leader)
Here is the quote - it is from chapter five of his book entitled The American Revolution:
"In order to understand how men who obtained control of the Bank of England, and the British National Debt, also obtained control of the trade and commerce, and the monetary system of Britain's American colonies, it will be sufficient if we pick up the threads of the story at the time Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790) went over to England to represent the interests of the men who had been associated with him in the building up the prosperity of the Amercian Colonies.
Robert L. Owen, former chairman, Committee on Banking and Currency, United States Senate, explains the matter on page 98 of Senate Document No. 23. He states that when the Associates of the Rothschild's asked Franklin how he accounted for the prosperous conditions prevailing in the colonies, he replied: "That is simple - In the Colonies we issue our own money. It is called Colonial Script - We issue it in proper proportion to the demands of trade and industry."
Robert L. Owen remarked that not very long after the Rothschild's heard of this they realized the opportunity to exploit the situation with considerable profit to themsevles. The obvious thing to do was to have a law passed prohibiting the Colonial officials from issuing their own money and make it compulsory for them to obtain the money they required through the medium of the Banks. Amschel Mayer Rothschild was still in Germany but he was supplying the British Government with Mercenary Troops at 8 pounds per man. Such was his influence that in 1764 he succeeded, through the Directors of the Bank of England, in having laws passed in accordance with his dictates.
The authorities in the Colonies had to discard their Script money. They had to mortgage the Colonial assets and securities to the Bank of England in order to borrow the money they needed to carry on business. Referring to those facts Benjamin Franklin stated: "In one year the conditions were so reversed that the era or prosperity ended and a depression set in, to such an extent that the streets of the Colonies were filled with unemployed." Franklin stated: "The Bank of England refused to give more than 50 percent of the face value of the Script when turned over as required by law. The circulating medium of exchange was thus reduced by one half."
Mr. Franklin disclosed the PRIMARY (emphasis mine) cause of the Revolution wehn he said: "The Colonies would have gladly borne the little tax on tea and other matters had it not been the England took away from the Colonies their money, which created unemployment and dissatisfaction."

Carr goes on to describe how the bankers plunged England into incredible debt via their lending procedures and other unmoral activities.

For more good reading on this please get this book and also one on the Federal Reserve and why and how it was created and why it is illegal as a governing body, having circumvented Congress in the issuing of currency. Email me if you are interested in more titles. (sorry if there are typos!)
