The most important feature of the international private money empire is concealment. Those who suggested their existence were permanently excluded from the camp of canonized opinion makers.
The empire of private money is also different from any previous imperial organization. In the past, such organizations always set out on their conquering journey from the base of a people or a group of people. The central people of the Roman Empire were the Latins, Attila's the Huns, Genghis Khan's empire the Mongols. Both the great empires and the kingdoms had a common feature, that the money and the circulation of money were kept tightly in the hands of the power (ruler), and its benefits (regales) also belonged to the ruler.
The control over money was an inalienable part of sovereignty. The age of great discoveries in the 15th century brought a large-scale boom in trade, which led to the accumulation of untold financial fortunes, among the first in England, in private hands. Absolute royal power - individual sovereignty - increasingly stood in the way of the lords of money. They got rid of him in a bloody rebellion still known as a civil revolution, the kingdom ended for a short time, the king lost not only his crown, but also his head.
Half a century later, however, a very practical bargain was reached between the monarchy and the money lords. The money lords were willing to put a ruler on the throne again (this event is called the Glorious Revolution by the historian profession), on the condition that the right to dispose of the money would no longer belong to the ruler, but would be transferred to private owners who had an abundance of money. From then on, the king ruled without governing. Instead, it was done by competing groups organized into parties and the forces they won in the elections (His Majesty's government and the opposition).
The money lords founded a bank to achieve their empire-building goals (1694, Bank of England). The bank readily lent unlimited loans to cover the costs of the court (the state), first of all for the rebuilding and arming of the fleet destroyed by the French. In return, they asked for the "insignificance" that other banks should not have the right to issue banknotes that replace effective money, silver, and that they should manage the state's account, and that loans should be administered exclusively there. The role of the ruler was to collect the necessary taxes for the interest of the rapidly accumulating national debt in an orderly manner, with the power of state laws, and at the request of his majesty's government, the army and the fleet were always available in accordance with the needs of expansion.
With this step, the most important jewel of sovereignty was privatized, and it remains in this state to this day in the world known as the West, with the fact that due to known historical circumstances, before the First World War (1913), the center of the private money empire was transferred to the United States, international private money instead of pounds, they are now called dollars. From this ideal situation, the masters of private money, who have been hiding until now, set out on the path of expansion, to conquer more and more empires.
A priority goal was the acquisition of colonies and the elimination of competitors, mainly the Spanish and French kingdoms. In order to achieve this goal, in France, they took advantage of the growing social tension created due to unfavorable natural conditions and incited a hunger riot, and then put it down according to the previous proven English pattern, thus taking power in their own hands, also disguised as a parliamentary democracy. The ruler's head fell into the dust here as well.
The process entered the history books under the name of the French Revolution. They were able to use the help of the European sacred rulers (Russian, Prussian, Austrian) to defeat Napoleon, who also showed imperial aspirations but organized an empire based on public money instead of private money, from the revolution that started well, but was not expected, since these state structures also did not like the Napoleonic regime, which neglected the sacred , moreover, they were dependent on the British monetary empire.
With the rising German imperial aspirations, which were also strong and based on gold-based state money, they already had many more problems. It took almost a full century to corner him. British private money wanted to assert its influence already in the process of German unification. In the debate between Prussia and Austria competing for the leading role in the unification, private money sided with the Austrians. The position was not a matter of choice, since since 1816 the finances of the Austrian Empire - also on the basis of private money - fell into the hands of the Rothschilds, who were expanding at breakneck speed in the European centers (Paris, London, Milan and Vienna). The Oesterreichische Nationalbank was established in this year, also as a private bank. (Its last private equity package came into state hands only a few years ago, while the Bank of England was already nationalized in 1946).
All this happened after and despite the fact that in 1806 the House of Habsburg officially renounced the title of Imperial Emperor and adopted the title of Emperor of Austria. Compliance with the money lords was already deeply rooted among the Habsburgs. Even the throne of Károly V, who had already become the head of the empire, was built on the millions of the Fuggers, the most important money gurus of the time. It was easy to see that private money saw it as the right thing to do if the German unification was created under Austrian leadership, i.e. under the tutelage of private money.
The Prussian side wanted to avoid this, because it saw the English side - the faceless money empire - as the biggest opponent of its expansion. The Prussian-Austrian War (1866) that emerged from the conflict ended with Austria's heavy defeat. It is clear that the Austrian side was not so much in its own interest as in the struggle as a proxy of the monetary empire. The ruler, Francis Joseph I, was unable to contradict the financiers, even though the military leaders, especially the commander-in-chief of the Austrian army, Field Marshal Louis Benedek, opposed the war against Prussia.
Despite the Austrian defeat - or because of it - it became very urgent for the financiers to contain the Germans. In 1870, after the fall of Napoleon Bonaparte, the proxy role was returned by King III, who changed the Bourbons to a republic again. Napoleon undertook it. It was easy to see that the national Napolean nostalgia, preserved against the great times, strongly kneaded the sails of the money lords in France. There is no doubt that III. The years of Napoleon's reign brought outstanding development in France, one of the main benefits of which was the military preparation against the expansion of the Prussians on German soil.
It is customary to present the Franco-Prussian war that broke out in 1870 as a war fought against the expansion of German-Prussian Junker imperialism. However, the fact that the war began with the French declaration of war and ended with the ugly defeat of the French at Sedan is very much a part of objectivity. The German counter-empire was made of hard material. Two world wars were still necessary to defeat it, even though the great eastern empire, Russia, the former ally of the Germans, managed to be called to war against the Germans in both. Both world wars were about whether the German imperial aspiration based on state money would prevail, or whether private money, which started its triumphal path in the 17th century, would win over it. Success twice belonged to the private money empire.
Instead of analyzing further wars fought on a proxy basis for the sake of the private money empire, let's turn to the current event, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, in which the proxy role is now played by Ukraine. In 2014, the turn (organized coup d'état) took place in Ukraine, which has no historical basis, has a very mixed national composition and is multilingual, which made the country suitable for this turn and turned it against its natural economic and military partner, Russia.
By this time, it also became obvious that the operation of the America-centered, unipolar world order was struggling with increasing disturbances, and it urgently needed to acquire new resources. The host country, the United States, began to collapse dangerously under the enormous costs imposed on it by the world powers. The federal government's budget has long since grown beyond the level of indebtedness that can still be borne. This was made clear by the 2008 financial crisis. The state's debt certificates (government bonds) must be bought up by the private money empire in ever-increasing amounts, because the previous optimistic momentum of the market has disappeared. The world's investors saw the debt of the American host state as less attractive, and the state also struggled with the low interest rates it had to pay.
China and the oil states, which had previously accumulated huge claims against the United States, were no longer enthusiastic, and some did not even want to accumulate their claims against the American state. It seemed an attractive alternative that the revenues of Russia, with its inexhaustible reserves of raw materials and energy carriers, would somehow enter the monetary system of the United States. However, this ideal relationship narrowed in the post-Yeltsin era, under Putin's administration, and Russia even invested its existing dollar reserves in other assets (such as gold). In addition, China, the largest foreign creditor, does not continue to accumulate mountains of dollars, but builds international trade infrastructure and projects.
Any kind of change would have only improved this situation, ideally Putin's fall could have resulted in a complete victory. Preparations for this situation in Ukraine began very intensively in 2014, Ukraine prepared for the role of proxy, and its military capabilities were steadily developed. The weeks of the war confirmed this. The war-provoking irritation of the Russian side proceeded according to plan, which was given the final push by Ukraine's request to join NATO. Nothing shows Ukraine's proxy role better than the fact that it bears the costs of its war. The Ukrainian side comes in with blood and human sacrifice, and the Western alliance, especially the United States, with all the goods needed for warfare.
There is no attention left for the everyday life of the Ukrainian people. In the Russian-Ukrainian war, the Ukrainian side bears all the hallmarks of proxy wars. For the sake of appearances, the financial West does not carry out any military operations that could go beyond a proxy war. However, it does everything that is indirectly useful to the Ukrainian side, provides satellite images, helps in measuring Russian targets, sets aside all traditional principles of civil law, confiscates the property of Russian citizens, suppresses world-renowned Russian scientists, artists, and athletes. The only exception is the one who refuses Russia.
