At the Bottom of the Washington Swamp

Part 2: How the World Has Been Robbed Blind

In the second part of our journey (catch up on part 1 here), we're leaving the surface level behind and diving headfirst into the depths of the Washington swamp. This immersive exploration will likely challenge our perspectives and forever alter our understanding of the world.

We'll embark on a thrilling adventure along the ancient Silk Road, delve into the mysteries of imperial Japan and Operation Golden Lily, and go on a treasure hunt through the Philippines' lush forests, and finally explain the most notorious day of recent American history: 9/11.

Along the way, we'll expose the shocking truth about how the financial elite has been exploiting and deceiving us for generations, raping our souls and sabotaging our futures. But we'll also examine the fragile house of cards they've constructed – and how it's beginning to crumble.

This journey is designed to spark outrage… And that's a good thing.

Let’s get started.

The Silk Road

In an audacious tale reminiscent of an Indiana Jones adventure, the authentic chronicle of the Silk Road unveils one of the most captivating narratives of antiquity. Spanning a colossal 4,000 miles from Europe's Mediterranean shores to the farthest reaches of Indonesia, this extensive network of interconnected land and sea routes served as the world's primary method of economic and social interaction and exchange for millennia.

During the epochs of the Greco-Roman Empires, a staggering volume of commodities was exchanged between the Greek and Roman empires and the nations of the east, most notably China.

The allure of the exquisite and meticulously crafted items produced by the Chinese, ranging from silk to exotic spices and gold-laced ceramics, china, and pottery, could not be overstated for the Greeks and Romans. In return, the Chinese and other Southeast Asian nations coveted the gold that was extensively mined throughout the Roman Empire, making it the most widely accepted method of payment in these regions.

As the annals of history unfolded and the New World fell to the Spaniards (beginning in 1492), a seemingly endless supply of gold and treasure was amassed through the ruthless pillaging of the ancient indigenous populations of the Americas, namely the Inca and Mayan civilizations.

Eager to capitalize on the lucrative spice trade, the Spaniards actively engaged in commerce along the Silk Road. Once again, gold emerged as the favored medium of exchange for the eastern nations, enabling China and other Southeast Asian countries to accumulate 85% of the world’s gold, jewels, and ancient treasures over the ensuing centuries.

1776 - The Birth of a Propaganda Lie

The vast fortune amassed by China over millennia of Silk Road trade did not escape the notice of the British aristocracy or the British East India Company, which similarly accrued immense wealth through its own dealings in the opium trade with India and China.

In 1776, the Scottish economist and philosopher Adam Smith published a groundbreaking work, “An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations,” which has since become one of the most influential economic texts in history.

Smith's magnum opus elucidates several critical economic principles, chief among them the establishment of free trade and the importance of implementing a fiat currency system instead of a gold standard. According to Smith, gold, which has served as a universal medium of exchange for thousands of years, has the potential to create financial instability on a global scale.

In his view, should any single nation gain control of the majority of the world's gold and other precious metals, it would disrupt the balance of global power, leading to chaos and strife. Thus, Smith proposed that gold must be centralized to maintain world peace.

The saccharine notion that free trade and the centralization of precious metals is a panacea for the global economy is a farce. In reality, it's a recipe for disaster, a Trojan horse that allows the powerful to pillage and plunder the vulnerable.

The East India Company's (EIC) and British East India Company's (BEIC) opium trade with India is a stark illustration of this. Under the guise of “free trade,” these colonial behemoths flooded the Indian market with cheap, subpar goods, deliberately undercutting local manufacturers and crippling the nation's economy. Sounds familiar?

The consequences were devastating. India's homegrown industries were decimated, and the country became increasingly dependent on England for survival. The only way for India to stay afloat was to produce more opium, which was then sold to the English at rock-bottom prices.

This, in turn, was used to trade with China, which had previously been a gold-based economy. The result was a catastrophic influx of opium that ensnared 40 million Chinese people in its grasp, ravaging the country's economy and paving the way for further exploitation.

The emperor of Japan, wise to the British East India Company's machinations, attempted to stem the tide of this destructive trade in 1839. But behind the scenes, England's eyes were fixed greedily on China's vast treasures, and the opium trade was merely the opening salvo in a campaign to dismantle China's infrastructure and seize control of its riches.

This was not “free trade” – it was economic warfare, a cynical and ruthless pursuit of power and wealth at the expense of entire nations. The notion that such a system benefits the global economy is a cruel joke, a thinly veiled attempt to justify the plunder of the many by the few.

1868 - The Meiji Restoration

The myth of Japan's “self-imposed isolation” is a convenient fiction, one that obscures the brutal reality of Western imperialism. For centuries, Japan had maintained a deliberate distance from the Western world, refusing to open its borders to the ravages of colonialism.

But in 1853, Matthew C. Perry, Commodore of the United States navy, arrived with a fleet of ships and an open threat: open up to the West, or face the consequences.

The Convention of Kanagawa, signed in 1854, was the result of this gunboat diplomacy, forcing Japan to abandon its carefully guarded neutrality and succumb to the whims of Western powers.

The consequences of this forced opening were far-reaching. Western agents, backed by the likes of the Rothschilds, began to sow the seeds of revolution in Japan, arming and funding the southern Satsuma and Chotsu clans in their rebellion against the ruling Shogun and the Tokugawa.

The 1868 coup d'etat that followed was a mere formality, paving the way for the Meiji Restoration and a new era of Western-backed “modernization.” But make no mistake, this was not a benevolent exercise in “nation-building.” The ultimate target was China, and the vast reserves of gold that lay within its borders.

The rapid industrialization and modernization of Japan that followed was a mere facade, a Potemkin village constructed to conceal the true intentions of its Western backers.

The build-up of the Japanese navy, modeled after the British Royal Navy, was a cynical exercise in military expansionism, designed to facilitate the looting of Chinese treasure.

The First Sino-Japanese War of 1894-95 was the inevitable result, a conflict that saw Japan emerge victorious and China forced to pay reparations in the form of thousands of tons of silver. This was merely the beginning of a decades-long campaign of plunder and exploitation, one that would leave China impoverished and Japan a mere vassal state of the Western powers.

1930 - The Hatching of a Beast

The aftermath of World War I, a conflict so ripe with lies about its origins that we will look at them in detail in the future, saw the emergence of a new era of financial control. Under the guise of “peace” and “stability,” many of the world's leading nations signed away their sovereignty, surrendering their precious metals holdings to a single, centralized system of monetary control. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) was born, a behemoth of financial power that would come to dominate the global economy.

The BIS, touted as the “central bank of central banks,” was created to manage the gold and other precious metals deposits of its member nations. The list of nations that signed on to this arrangement is a veritable who's who of global powers, including the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Japan, and many others.

The Brussels protocol of 1936, which established the BIS, is a revealing document. It lists the participating nations, each of which agreed to surrender its precious metals holdings to the BIS.

The protocol is a masterclass in diplomatic doublespeak, using phrases like “placed on deposit” to obscure the fact that these nations were, in effect, surrendering control of their financial systems. The BIS was given carte blanche to manage the global economy, with its member nations reduced to mere vassals.

The protocols, available for all to see, reveal the true nature of the BIS. They are a blueprint for financial control, a set of rules and regulations designed to maintain the dominance of the global elite. The BIS is not a neutral arbiter of international finance, but a tool of the powerful, designed to maintain their grip on the global economy.

“The duly authorised representatives of the Government of His Majesty the King of the Belgians, the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Government of Canada, the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia, the Government of New Zealand, the Government of the Union of South Africa, the Government of India, the Government of the French Republic, the Government of His Majesty the King of the Hellenes [Greece], the Government of His Majesty the King of Italy, the Government of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, the Government of the Republic of Poland, the Government of the Republic of Portugal, the Government of His Majesty the King of Romania, the Government of the Swiss Confederation, the Government of His Majesty the King of Yugoslavia.”

“The Bank for International Settlements, its property and assets as well as all the property and assets which are or will be entrusted to it, whether coin or other fungible goods, gold bullion, silver or any other metal, precious objects, securities or any other objects the deposit of which is admissible in accordance with banking practice, are exempt from the provisions or measures referred to in paragraph 2 of Article X of the Agreement with Germany and in Article 10 of the Constituent Charter consecutive to the Convention with Switzerland, of the 20th January 1930.
The property and assets of third parties, held by any other institution or person, on the instructions, in the name or for the account of the Bank for International Settlements, shall be considered as entrusted to the Bank for International Settlements and as enjoying the immunities laid down by the International Settlements and as enjoying the immunities laid down by the Articles above-mentioned by the same right as the property and assets which the Bank for International Settlements holds for the account of others, in the premises set apart for this purpose by the Bank, its branches or agencies.”—Brussels Protocol, 1936.

The absence of the United States from the list of nations participating in this protocol is notable, but not surprising. The U.S. had already begun to surrender its precious metals holdings, a process that would be accelerated by President Roosevelt's New Deal program.

The true nature of the BIS's creation is a tale of secrecy and deceit. In exchange for surrendering their precious metals holdings, the leaders of nations were granted bonds of enormous value, some exceeding $1 billion.

These bonds were not meant to be seen by the public, and the leaders were instructed to keep them hidden. This clandestine arrangement was made behind closed doors, away from the prying eyes of the people, by the very leaders who were supposed to serve them.

The BIS's own website provides a sanitized version of its history, but the truth is far more sinister:

The real story of the BIS's creation began in 1921, when Japanese Emperor Hirohito was invited to tour Europe. This was not a mere diplomatic courtesy, but a calculated move to lay the groundwork for a global central bank. Hirohito's visit to London, where he met with King George V, was a key moment in this process.

The Western oligarchy, driven by a lust for power and wealth, sought to create a centralized system of control over the world's precious metals supply. They believed that a decentralized system, where nations owned and controlled their own gold and precious metals, was a recipe for conflict and financial instability.

But what they really wanted was to get their hands on the vast riches of Southeast Asia, which had accumulated over thousands of years of trade along the Silk Road. The region was a treasure trove of gold and precious metals, and the Western oligarchy was determined to claim it for themselves. They knew that the Southeast Asian nations would never agree to a centralized system of control, so they needed a proxy to do their dirty work. That's where Hirohito came in.

The Japanese Emperor was invited into the fold, not because of his own power or influence, but because of Japan's strategic location and military might. The Western oligarchy saw Japan as the perfect puppet state, one that could be used to steal and murder its way to riches in Southeast Asia.

Hirohito himself was a mere pawn in this game, a puppet on strings controlled by the Western oligarchy. He was used to further their interests, to carry out their dirty work, and to bring about a new era of colonialism and exploitation in Southeast Asia.

The true nature of Hirohito's dealings with the Western oligarchy is a dark and sinister one, and it's a story that has been hidden from the public for far too long. It's a story of corruption, greed, and deceit, one that reveals the true nature of the power brokers who control our world. It's a story that must be told, and one that must be remembered, lest we forget the lessons of history and repeat the mistakes of the past.

1933-1941 - Roosevelt’s New Deal

The New Deal, a series of economic programs implemented by F.D.R. between 1933-36, was touted as a panacea for the Great Depression, a desperate attempt to restore economic prosperity and balance to the United States. But scratch beneath the surface, and it becomes clear that this was nothing more than a power grab, an attempt to consolidate control over the economy and strip citizens of their autonomy.

Take, for example, Executive Order 6102, signed on April 5th, 1933, which effectively outlawed the possession of monetary gold by individuals, partnerships, associations, and corporations. The order was peddling the notion that the government was acting in the best interests of the people by “preventing the hoarding of gold” and promoting a fiat-based economy.

But let's not be fooled - this was nothing more than a cynical ploy to amass gold reserves and further entrench the Federal Reserve's stranglehold on the economy. The fact that citizens were forced to surrender their gold in exchange for a paltry $20.67 per ounce, under threat of fines and imprisonment, only serves to underscore the coercive nature of this policy.

And what of the Gold Reserve Act of 1934, which centralized control of the vast majority of U.S. gold reserves into the hands of the Federal Reserve system? This was nothing more than a coup de grâce, a final nail in the coffin of economic freedom. By concentrating control over the gold supply, the government effectively gained the power to manipulate the money supply, setting the stage for the kind of monetary policy shenanigans that have become all too familiar in recent years.

But don't just take my word for it - the drawbacks of Roosevelt's New Deal have been extensively critiqued by economists and scholars. Take, for example, the work of William L. Anderson, Ph.D, professor of economics at Frostburg State University in Maryland, who has written extensively on the subject. His analysis is a scathing indictment of the New Deal's failures, and a powerful reminder that, despite the rhetoric, this was a policy that served the interests of the powerful at the expense of the people.

1937-1941 - Golden Lily, The Second Sino-Japanese War, The Rape of Nankin, and World War II

One of the most egregious examples of imperialistic plunder in modern history is the story of Prince Chichibu, the brother of Emperor Hirohito of Japan, and his role in the ultra-secret operation known as Golden Lily.

While Chichibu is often remembered for his efforts to establish good relations with England, particularly with the British royal family, his true legacy is one of unbridled greed and exploitation.

Alongside General Tomoyuki Yamashita and Admiral Yoshio Kodama, Chichibu was tasked by the Emperor with orchestrating a vast and sinister operation to pillage the treasures of China and Southeast Asia, bringing them under Japanese control.

The genesis of this operation, as revealed in Peggy and Sterling Seagrave's book Gold Warriors, showcases the ruthless pragmatism of the Japanese imperial family. According to the Seagraves, Emperor Hirohito, anticipating the inevitability of a new world war, recognized that defeating the United States would require an unprecedented military force, backed by extraordinary financing.

And so, he set in motion a plan to confiscate the wealth of Asia, entrusting the project to a special team led by none other than Prince Chichibu. This team, code-named Kin No Yuri, or Golden Lily, was tasked with plundering the riches of the region, setting the stage for one of the most egregious examples of war profiteering in history.

In the decade preceding the war, Japan introduced hundreds of spies into the twelve Asian nations they would eventually conquer. Disguised as civilians from all walks of life, their mission was to locate and map the storehouses of wealth throughout the regions. Targets included museums, treasuries, banks, churches, temples, monasteries, shrines, mining operations and large corporations, as well as wealthy families and organized crime syndicates. Detailed reports were continually sent to the royalty in Tokyo who wanted to have one basic thing, a list of whoever held the keys and combinations to the vaults who would soon become candidates for interrogation and torture.” — Peggy and Sterling Seagrave, “Gold Warriors”

The summer of 1937 marked the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese war, a conflict that would ultimately serve as a precursor to the global devastation of World War II.

The tensions between Japan and China had been simmering for years, with small-scale conflicts erupting periodically. However, it was the events of December 1937 that would forever etch the name of Nanking into the annals of infamy.

The Rape of Nanking, as it came to be known, was a massacre of unimaginable proportions, with hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians - men, women, and children - brutally slaughtered by the Japanese armies. The city, once the proud capital of China, was left in ruins.

The Second Sino-Japanese War raged on for years, a precursor to the global conflict that would soon engulf the world. The bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 marked the beginning of the end, drawing the Asian world into the vortex of World War II. But amidst the chaos and destruction, another, more sinister narrative was unfolding.

The Nazi regime, notorious for its brutality and ideological fanaticism, was engaged in a systematic campaign of looting and plunder, targeting the treasures and wealth of Europe. The scale of this looting was staggering, with vast sums of treasure and wealth being plundered from across the continent. While some of this treasure was recovered by Allied forces after the war, much of it remains missing to this day.

Meanwhile, the plunder of the Japanese in China and Southern Asia, carried out under the auspices of Operation Golden Lily, remains one of the most egregious and overlooked chapters in the history of World War II.

While the Nazi looting of Europe has been well-documented, the sheer scale of the Japanese thefts has been largely ignored, relegated to the footnotes of history. The fact that the Japanese stole vast amounts of gold and treasure from the Chinese and other nations, totaling an estimated $100 billion, is a staggering revelation that puts the Nazi looting to shame.

The secrecy surrounding Operation Golden Lily, combined with the Western media's complicity in suppressing this information, has ensured that this aspect of history has remained largely unknown in the West.

However, in China, the knowledge of this vast theft has been common knowledge for decades, and became a painful reminder of the country's traumatic past. The question remains, why has this information been so thoroughly suppressed, and where did all this treasure ultimately end up?

The documentary film featuring Rhawn Joseph provides a glimpse into this hidden history. This figure is corroborated by investigative journalists Sterling and Peggy Seagrave in their book Gold Warriors, which provides a detailed account of the Japanese looting and its aftermath.

According to the authors, a ranking Japanese officer, a cousin of Emperor Hirohito, confirmed that the Japanese had hidden over $100 billion worth of treasure in the Philippines, a staggering amount that would take “more than a century” to recover.

However, as we will see later in this report, this estimate of $100 billion is likely a gross underestimate, a mere fraction of the true value of the treasure stolen by the Japanese. The true extent of this plunder, and the fate of the treasure, remains a mystery that continues to unfold.

1941-1945 - The Philippine Occupation

As the world teetered on the brink of chaos during World War II, Japan's insatiable appetite for conquest and plunder led to the accumulation of treasures so vast that they necessitated a secret storage facility off the mainland. The Philippines, a country already ravaged by colonialism, became the unwitting host to this treasure trove.

The Japanese invasion, marked by brutality and bloodshed, spared Manila from destruction, but only to transform it into a hub for the clandestine transportation of looted wealth from China and the rest of Asia. The irony is palpable - the same forces that ravaged the continent now sought to preserve their spoils in the very country they had subjugated.

The Japanese military's decision to seal the treasure sites, entombing thousands of civilians, prisoners of war, and even their own soldiers, is a stark testament to the callous disregard for human life that defined their campaign. The ruling elites, driven by a lust for power and wealth, deemed it necessary to sacrifice countless lives to protect their ill-gotten gains.

The sheer scale of this operation is mind-blowing: 175 networks of tunnels, each containing treasures accumulated over millennia, were created and then deliberately concealed, leaving behind a trail of death and destruction.

1944 - Bretton Woods and The Black Eagle Trust

The myth of the benevolent victors has been perpetuated for far too long. Behind the façade of rebuilding and reconstruction, the Allied forces were secretly salivating over the spoils of war.

Severino Garcia Santa Romana, aka Santy, and General Edward Lansdale were the tip of the iceberg, tasked with uncovering the locations of the treasure sites, while the likes of General Douglas Macarthur and President Truman waited in the wings, eager to get their hands on the loot.

The Bretton Woods system, touted as a noble effort to rebuild the world's financial system, was in reality another agenda to consolidate power and control over the global economy.

The delegates who met in New Hampshire in 1944 were not naive idealists, but rather calculating strategists who knew that the war was all but won. With their vast spy networks and knowledge of the plundered treasures, they set about creating the International Monetary Fund, a tool designed to manage and manipulate the global economy to their advantage. And when the true extent of the treasure was revealed, the Black Eagle Trust was born, a secret fund established to launder the spoils of war and further the interests of the powerful.

The numbers stay staggering: 280,000 tonnes of metric gold, not to mention jewels and diamonds, plundered from Europe and Asia. And what happened to this treasure? It was transferred into 172 accounts in 42 different nations, with a significant portion finding its way into the coffers of the Federal Reserve and the Bank for International Settlements.

The M Fund, named after General William Frederic Marquat, was just one of the many slush funds created to facilitate the global political action fund. And what has this fund been used for?

• To bribe statesmen and military officials, as well as to buy elections worldwide, ensuring that only those who serve the interests of the powerful bankers and money holders (the likes of the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, and J.P. Morgans) rise to positions of power.

• To impose a global policy of Western capitalism and anti-communism, a supposedly noble cause that has, in reality, created a deep rift between Russia/China and the U.S./European/Japanese alignments, leaving most of the world in a state of perpetual poverty and powerlessness.

• To potentially cover up a massive false flag operation, such as the September 11th, 2001 attacks, which may have been intended to conceal the clearing of $240 billion in covertly created securities bonds, used to fund a secret economic war against the Soviet Union. This operation allowed unknown Western investors to buy up large chunks of Soviet industry, particularly in the oil and gas sectors. Furthermore, reports have surfaced that massive amounts of gold disappeared from the World Trade Center's basement vaults in the aftermath of the attacks, potentially linking back to the Black Eagle Trust.

“The financial, banking and economic shadow-world…is the dirty little secret of the Western economy. It is a form of money creation that is effectively unchallenged by any form of oversight or accountability as we understand it.”—David Guyatt

The sheer magnitude of this wealth is mind-boggling, with estimates suggesting trillions of dollars, many times over. We're talking about the accumulation of thousands of years' worth of gold, jewels, treasures, and diamonds, which has given the United States and its allies a seemingly endless supply of funds to shape global policy.

However, this wealth has been funneled into the hands of private banking cartels, such as the Federal Reserve, effectively making them the masters of the universe. This grand theft has far-reaching consequences, potentially being the primary reason for the world's current turmoil.

It's no secret that the world's wealth is not being shared equitably, but few people realize the true extent of the wealth that exists. The reality is that precious metals, jewels, diamonds, ancient treasures, and especially gold represent the real wealth of the world. The shocking truth is that the majority of the world's population is not part of this off-ledger, occult economic system.

In the United States, for example, people trade in Federal Reserve Notes, which are essentially paper with no tangible backing. If these notes are backed by off-ledger gold, it's not an asset that legally belongs to the Federal Reserve or the Bank for International Settlements.

In essence, the world's real wealth has been hijacked and is being kept under wraps. This is why the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a tiny elite, while the masses struggle to make ends meet, never being invited into this world of hidden riches. The result is a system where the majority of people are forced to live in a state of economic servitude, while the privileged few reap the benefits of this stolen wealth.

November 11th, 1963: The Green Hilton Memorial Agreement

On November 11th, 1963, a clandestine pact was forged in the shadows of the Green Hilton Memorial Building in Geneva, Switzerland, as President John F. Kennedy and Indonesian President Soekarno, among others, put their signatures to a treaty that would have far-reaching implications for the global financial landscape.
