Continuing from Part 1 in this article series, this concluding part explains how international bankers emerged as a pivotal force behind the scenes and influenced the financial and political landscape of America, specifically around the period of the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871.
This era, marked by economic vulnerability and post-Civil War reconstruction challenges, provided a fertile ground for financial maneuvering on an international scale.
The Civil War, a calamitous period in American history, not only tested the fabric of the nation but also its coffers, leaving the United States in a state of financial exhaustion. It was during this time that international bankers saw an opportunity to extend their influence.
Contrary to accepting direct loans from these international financiers, which would come with strings attached and potentially compromise the nation’s autonomy, the U.S. government sought alternative ways to finance its recovery and reconstruction efforts.
The issuance of Greenbacks (America’s first issuance of a national Fiat Currency) was one such measure, designed to finance the war without succumbing to the pressures and conditions of foreign banks.
However, this move alone was not sufficient to ward off the influence of international banking interests.
Among these financial players were the Rothschilds of London, a legendary family synonymous with wealth and power in banking circles for many generations.
Their relentless pursuit of influence in American finances was not merely opportunistic, but part of a broader strategy to secure a financial stronghold in the burgeoning economic landscape of America.
The Act of 1871, while ostensibly created to provide a governmental framework for the District of Columbia, also opened doors for these bankers to solidify their foothold in American economics.
By establishing a federal municipal law for the newly created federal citizens, the Act inadvertently created a new customer base for the banks and introduced a system wherein the American populace would become increasingly entangled in the financial strategies of both domestic and international bankers.
This new Banking Corporatocracy leveraged the establishment of America’s new National Banking System enacted by President Abraham Lincoln via the National Banking Act and the National Currency Act in 1863 and 1864. This set the legal and structural stage to establish The Federal Reserve Act and Bank in 1913.
This strategic positioning by the bankers was not an act of generosity or a mere financial transaction; it was a calculated move to ensure their dominance in the financial operations of the new, ‘United States’ corporatocracy.
The establishment of a federal municipal law was a clever mechanism to bind the future economic activities of the nation to the interests of these banking powers.
The implications of these developments came swiftly and resolutely.
The shift from a system of rights and liberties under the original Constitutional framework to a regime of privileges under a corporate governance model facilitated by the Act of 1871 marked a significant transformation in the American Republic.
The involvement of international bankers in this transition underscores their role not just as financial entities but as influential actors in the shaping of a nation’s destiny.
Americans Today are Living Under a Corporatocracy – Ignorant and Compliant
The changes initiated by the Act of 1871 continue to resonate in contemporary America.
The corporate governance model affects virtually every aspect of American lives, from the legal system and law enforcement to education, healthcare, and the economy.
This model prioritizes economic interests and efficiency over individual rights and liberties, leading to a society where corporate entities wield significant influence over public policy and decision-making.
The implications for everyday Americans today are profound.
The transformation has led to an environment where the concept of freedom is more myth than reality, as individuals find themselves subject to an ever-expanding array of regulations, statutes, and contractual obligations that dictate their behavior and limit their liberties.
The notion of voluntary compliance with the system, driven by a combination of ignorance and apathy, has facilitated the perpetuation of this corporate governance model, further entrenching its influence over American life.
Moreover, the shift from a system based on inherent rights to one governed by statutory privileges has profound implications for the concept of citizenship itself.
Individuals are increasingly treated as customers or subjects within a corporate state, rather than as sovereign citizens of a republic.
This redefinition of the relationship between the individual and the state has led to a gradual but unmistakable dilution of the principles of liberty and self-governance that once defined the American experiment.
Bottom Line: There’s a Profound Difference Between the Original Constitutional Republic ‘United State of America’ vs. The ‘United States’ Corporation
This article outlined a seldom-discussed chapter of American history, uncovering the fundamental transformation of the ‘United States of America’ from the original Constitutional Republic, envisioned by the Founding Fathers, to the ‘United States’ corporate entity shaped by the Act of 1871.
This shift, driven by economic vulnerabilities and the strategic interests of international bankers, has redefined the essence of American governance and the very notion of our individual rights and freedoms within its borders.
The historical backdrop set against the aftermath of the Civil War highlighted the precarious situation America found itself in, leading to the enactment of the Act of 1871. This legislation, while ostensibly aimed at providing a governmental framework for the District of Columbia, effectively ushered in a new era of corporate governance.
It established a municipal corporation that, over time, has blurred the lines between the sovereign rights of the people and the privileges granted by a corporate state.
The role of international bankers in this historical narrative cannot be overstated.
Their influence in shaping the financial destiny of the post-Civil War America has had lasting implications, embedding a commercial ethos at the heart of American governance. This transformation has far-reaching consequences, affecting the daily lives and liberties of American citizens up to the present day.
The shift from tangible freedoms to a system of regulated ‘privileges’ (such as personal driving licenses) underlines the profound impact of the Act of 1871 and international banking interests on the American Republic.
The transition from a system of inalienable rights to one governed by ‘statutes and regulations’ challenges the core principles of freedom and liberty for all Americans.
