Rouble Nationalization – the Way to Russia’s Freedom. Nikolay Starikov

radio news, the expressions 'investors trusted in the USA's economics' or 'traders trust in the fast recovery of the Eurozone'? What is that? That is faith, nothing more. With a helping hand of bankers modern economics has stopped being a science and turned into a religion. And in the Middle Ages it was dangerous to trifle with faith…

      So, the 'inventors' of getting money out of nothing needed some armed shelter. The gains involved were enormous, the opportunities for the bankers were far too tempting. Without the support of the state 'money changers' would never stay afloat. And they shared their idea. With whom? To clarify this question it is enough to check, where and when the idea of bankers was implemented on the state level.

      The first organization to 'make money out of nothing' was the Bank of England. Let us do justice to the Englishmen – it was on their territory where the first private currency issuing centre was created. It happened nearly 300 years before the US Federal reserve system was established. So, the bankers shared their idea with the Royal Family of England. Yet after the juxtaposition of facts and dates one gets an impression that the Albion became the cradle of private money issuing… not quite voluntarily.

      'The Bank of England was founded in 1694 to act as the Government's banker and debt-manager.' This is written on the official website of the Bank of England. According to the official version, this is how it happened. Due to the numerous wars, the Royal Treasury was empty by 1690. In 1693 a Chamber of Commons Committee was established in order to find ways of obtaining extra money. At the same time, a certain financial expert from Scotland called William Paterson appeared out of nowhere and offered a solution for the financial deficiency problem[47]. For this favour he did not ask for a soul as Mephistopheles would, but called for the establishment of the Bank of England, creating the first private issuing centre in the world which would not issue bank warrants but actual state money.

      As you can see, bankers used mimicry and disguise from the very beginning. Even the first agency to make money out of nothing already bore a proud name which clearly referred to the governmental nature of the institution. But the Bank of England was private, and its shareholders were bankers and the King.[48] The budget deficiency was eliminated by issuing paper and not golden pounds sterling. A public subscription to a loan of 1,200,000 pounds was announced; subscribers formed a privileged company which was given control over negotiations regarding all the subsequent loans. The list of subscribers was filled within ten days'.[49] It is this 'privileged company' that became the mysterious group of people that managed to gradually impose their rules on the rest of the world over the next several centuries. Yet they could have failed. But for a start they guaranteed the new paper bills of the Bank of England and that they could have been exchanged for gold. However, if we look at the dates and the circumstances of establishment of the Bank of England more closely we might have doubts about it all happening smoothly and amicably.

      The king who agreed to establishment of the Bank of England was William III, Prince of Orange. The thing is that he ended up on the English throne as a result of a coup d'etat[50] which took place six years before the Bank was founded. While still ruling over the Netherlands, in 1688 William received a secret letter (!) from England with an offer to overthrow James II and take the throne[51]. On the 5^th November 1688 he disembarked on the shores of England together with an army and set off to London[52]. These were hired warriors and they consisted entirely of foreigners with the exception of some English ex-pats. William III became the king almost effortlessly. Dethroned James II fled to France while the new king started negotiations with those who, most likely, sponsored him to hire his army.

      The money also served to pay for the sudden loyalty of the leaders of the English army. As a matter of fact, the invading troops were immediately joined by the nobleman who was in command of James's army. One of this man's descendants became one of the most distinguished politicians in the world history – his portrait with a cigar in his mouth is familiar to everyone. This heir and descendant is Sir Winston Churchill[53]. No one is going to say that the title of the Duke of Marlborough, proudly carried by the Churchills today, was conferred to their ancestor for a betrayal. It turns out, however, that John Churchill who was commanding James's troops changed sides and joined William Prince of Orange and, thus, determined the future of the country. It is from the new king that he got his title – the Duke of Marlborough. Can we be quite sure that he did not get anything else as a reward?[54]

      The new king started a new period of economic growth in England. Here we should ask ourselves one thing: why was it during this new reign that the British economy started to prosper? The people had been working like mad before but their living standards were not any different from the rest of Europe. In the middle of the 17^th century, for example, England produced 4/5 of all the European coal. Metallurgy developed a lot during the period. So did shipbuilding, potter trade and hardware manufacturing. But production of fabrics turned out to be a real national craft for England. Export of fabrics accounted for 80% of the total export.[55] Britain also went as far as prohibiting export of wool which had been exported before and thus became a country which supplied external markets with finished woollen goods.[56]

      These goods, however, did not make the English rich. The country's economy was just another economy at the time. And all of a sudden there came prosperity. Contemporary British historians and politicians like William III a lot. And they tell us that it was during his reign that the Bill of Rights was passed which became the basis of the new political system of the country. This is a typical trick used by demagogues and manipulators – in order to prove a certain statement they simply omit some of the facts. They need to demonstrate that it is the Parliament and the system of elections and nothing else that brought prosperity to the Albion. People of today have a modern image of elections and they cannot picture them in a different way. And when they find out that back in 1690 England already had a democratically elected parliament they immediately realise that Russia was lagging behind by centuries. But actually we have nothing to worry about. Those who are trying to manipulate our opinions choose not to mention that there was no such thing as universal elections of a democratic parliament – only those who had at least 200 pounds in money or real estate had the right to vote.[57] And the country with a population of 20 million people had only 250 thousand who met the requirement. These were the gentlemen who voted, and a lot of those people made their fortunes by trading slaves and owned 'talking cattle', as slaves were called back then, themselves. Women were not to take part in the elections at all.[58]

      What other good things are normally mentioned about King William? It was during his reign that the English East India Company was founded which later became an instrument of conquering and looting of colonies. But the English will turn to looting their colonies later, gold and diamonds from dependent lands will flow into the Empire later. But the country's prosperity started before all that. So, what was the economic miracle that took place in Britain?

      The story of William's way to the English throne is rather dubious. He was helped by money and the betrayal he bought with it. Who could give him the required amount? Back then kings borrowed money from people whom these days we would call bankers. So, once in power, the King signed the Bill of Rights, a legislative act designed primarily not to grant universal and equal voting rights but to restrict the King's authority. It was not about freedom and democracy for everyone. British bankers and slave owners thought about no one but themselves. This was their protection against the King potentially changing his mind. Since, if we go deeper we can find information on the number of bankers who took part in the project called 'The Bank of England'. 'In 1694 forty merchants found the Bank of England'.[59] The number of partners is minimal and the temptation is great. Throughout the course of English history people were executed frequently and in big numbers. Forty merchants together

In English history this coup d'etat is known as the Glorious Revolution.

Another detail – by that time the Netherlands where William of Orange ruled had become the centre of world trade and banking. The 'Scottish' bankers might have been from there. There is different information on the nationality of the bankers who came up with the idea and created the first money printing machine. They could have been Scottish, English, Dutch or Jewish – there are different opinions. One thing is certain – in a very short period of time the bankers entered the elite of the English society and became tightly interwoven with the British royal authorities.

Winston Churchill himself did not bear the title of the Duke of Marlborough as it was given to the eldest son in the family. And Winston was a descendant of the younger son, and, what is more, his mother was American. His uncle became the Duke and after that the title was conferred to a different branch of the Churchill family tree.

54

Betrayals of top military officers and their participation in takeovers normally have very firm material basis which works perfectly with personal dislike of the person to be taken over and secret grudges. John Churchill, in his youth, was a page-boy of the heir to the throne. Later on, the heir became James II and John Churchill became a general and a baron. And then betrayed his benefactor.

This practice of the English should be actively used. As even now, at the beginning of the 20^th century Russia still has not dared to act as decisively in certain sectors of its economy where unprocessed raw materials are still exported.

57

In those times annual income of 20 pounds was considered very high. Therefore the Bank of England did not issue bank notes with a value of less than 20 pounds (not to waste any effort on change). The majority of the population did not use the products of the Bank of England and did not even come across it.

In France women voted for the first time in 1945. And what about Russia? It happened earlier. The Bolsheviks made the right to vote universal.
