ullion .... From henceforward it is clear, the issue was to be loans to industrial workers on the security of their wages.No longer would the banks or money lenders lend to the peasantry being that now they were forbidden to bind theirpersons as collateral security, and sell them into slavery across the seas, in the event of non-payment; or to alienate theirlands.""... the real significance of the monetary reforms of Solon was the separation of Athens from the financial hegemony ofBabylonia and its nearer agencies .... From now on it was going to be forbidden to Athenian merchants to settleunfavourable trade balances with slaves, and almost profitless to settle such balances with silver, either as coin or bullion.Henceforth the bankers would have to serve Athenian interests and would have to derive their profits from local business,I.E., there would be much more money circulating in Athens, and therefore a healthier industry ; which history records asbeing exactly what transpired.""The Laws of the Archon Solon, by making no provision for employment for the freed debt slaves, nor providing forredistribution of the land, gave the Athenian manufacturer that labour, which he most of all needed . The Solonianordinance offering Athenian citizenship to any free man from the countryside who came to Athens and took up a trade,further improved the labour market... The monetary reforms of Solon reducing the export of coin or bullion, gave theAthenian manufacturers the money they also needed, for they remained the only market for the 'funds' of the bankers,native or Peloponnesian; the latter having had no option but to find new lands to 'conquer, as it were, after their virtualejection by the laws enacted under the patronage of Lycurgus of Sparta."Finally, it might be said that the laws of the Archon Solon were the manifestation of the growth of the Athenian principleand the rejection, compulsory or otherwise, by all classes, of the Babylonian Money Power; including that growing class,who for the time being, seeing which way the wind lay, might now be called National Money Power...""The tyrants were often compelled to introduce the coin economy pattern into the area over which they ruled, or at leastto promote its development officially, in order to gain the upper hand over their enemies... To stabilize the position of thepeasantry on the land, and to expand and rebuild state economy, a central distribution of money and goods in kind partlydirected towards mercenaries, bodyguards and various political friends, and partly indirectly to the masses of poor peoplein the form of wages paid for extensive building operations and improvements, is characteristic of tyrant economy ... ""The opportunities clearly were for those who assisted in the monetization of the city, and all its activities andpossessions, and its population, man, woman, and child, and their possessions too, and thereby assisted in the firmestablishment of the rule of bankers, trade, and traders....""No sooner did these precious metals [[from The New World]] arrive in Spain or Portugal than almost immediately theymoved on to other parts in settlement of trade debit balances created largely by the Spanish wars in Europe, particularlyin Italy."This superfluity of the precious metals in Northern Europe certainly was one of the instigative factors, in the growth of'Banking'....""Cromwell's 'Bills of Public Faith', of which very little record remains, a true currency being intrinsically valueless, stateissued, and inconvertible, must have been cause for grave misgivings on the part of the goldsmiths, and all concerned, asto whether they had done right in supporting the enemies of the king! It was not long after the return to the throne ofEngland of the Stuart Line in the person of the amenable Charles II, in 1660, that these 'Bills of Public Faith,' the real keyto sovereignty, were repudiated""Some writers dismiss the idea of a capitalism in antiquity, but accepting definition of capitalism as the condition of theunrestricted promotion of human activity through the instrument of the driving force of that power of creation, and loanagainst collateral, and at interest, of the unit of exchange, or of promises of the unit of exchange as denoted by LedgerCredit Page Entry, and which function as the same thing in exchanges between persons dealing with the same banker orinterlocked system of banks, very little analysis of the circumstances that gave rise to the tyrants will show that a form of'capitalism' did exist, even if more local in character, and restricted to the individual city, or state, as a rule. The tyrantwas front man towards the total monetization of the state, the land and its labour, and towards the transfer of thatindependent labour formerly firmly placed in the Natural Order of God-Life, to a condition of dependence on a wage ofmoney, directed towards being able to keep on living as with the notion of being a free man.""[[Great land-holding families]] forgot that in the absolute analysis they themselves were but stewards of a higherpower. Lacking understanding, above all, of the true nature of this money as being above all their own law towards thefacilitation of the exchanges amongst themselves and their people, they had been lead astray from their duty. Byconniving with the bankers and their protégées the new manufacturers, to drive their own people off the land into thecities, and into the industries rapidly speeding up from the new money economy, they forgot that in their capacity asrulers, the whole land was theirs in trust to their people, and that the people therefore were expectant of them to be theirguides and shepherds.... [[and thus tyranny arose]]"The folly of these rulers in equating possession with the master moneyers trifling pieces of gold and silver dated back tothose grim Kings of the Homeric Sagas or before, who, being lain in their graves at Mycenae with all their riches, thus setoff on their eternal journey with that small store of gold that the crafty Babylonian money-men had trained them toThe Hidden History Of Money & New World Order Usury Secrets Revealed at last!
