War of the Banks.
The enormous and baleful influence of the banks in international politics is one of the great taboo subjects of history. The role of the international banks in promoting and fomenting revolutions is well documented but unmentionable in polite political society.
So the controlled media have told us nothing about one of the most powerful factors behind influencing the 'liberal' drive against the moderate dictatorships of states like Tunisia and Egypt – the conflict between the Sharia banks of the Islamic world and the Western banks, particularly the House of Rothschild.
Islamic banks have been eating into Rothschild profits in the Middle East. They are growing very rapidly among the world's expanding Muslim populations, and (in these catastrophic economic times) they are more stable than Western banks, which rely on future growth to make their whole debt finance system work.
Islamism may be a fundamental threat to the survival of the West but this should not blind us to financial and political reality, or lead us to conclude that 'my enemy's enemy is my friend.' For the banks behind the private creation of credit as an interest-bearing debt are certainly no friend of the West.
A review of some of the key developments in Arab banking shows just how much of a threat to their traditional dominance of global banking, the Rothschilds, now face from the moderate Islamic banking industry.
In 2007 the New York Times reported that Islamic banking (which includes loans, credit cards and and bonds) would spread from countries like Egypt to a mainstream western audience. With oil prices rising, the Muslim banking system would be set to have even more investment capital than the already estimated $1.5 trillion from oil already floating around the Middle East.
In 2008, French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde announced France's intention to make Paris “the capital of Islamic finance” and said several Islamic banks would operate in the French capital I 2009 to the tune of 500 to 600 billion dollars, growing by an average eleven per cent a year.
In October 2010, The Telegraph reported on the opening of a huge financial project called Tunis Financial Harbour. President Ben Ali was working to make Tunisia the regional financial centre for North Africa. Islamic investment bank Gulf Finance House (GFH) and the Tunisian government created the first off-shore financial centre in North Africa, intending to act as a bridge between the EU and North Africa. According to the International Business Times (28th May 2010) Tunisia had established relations with 12 Islamic banks in collaboration with the Institute of Islamic Banks in Bahrain.
In October 2008, the Washington Post commented on the collapse of Western banking institutions , stating
“another financial sector is gaining new confidence: Islamic banking. Proponents of the ancient practise, which looks to Sharia Law for guidance and bans interest and trading in debt, have been promoting Islamic finance as a cure for the global financial meltdown.”
Here lies the reason that the Rothschilds and Western banks generally have felt so threatened by the competition of these more conservative Islamic banks. But now look at what has happened as Western trained 'rebels' have taken over:
The new Tunis Financial Harbour was on the brink of becoming the regional financial centre of North Africa, but one of the first actions of the newly 'democratised' central Bank of Tunisia was to seize control of Zitouna Bank (Tunisia's first Islamic bank). The bank, owned by Sakher El Materi, son-in-law of deposed Tunisian leader Zine El Abedine Ben Ali, was placed under 'the control' of the central bank.
And who trained those rebels? The revolts in Tunisia and Egypt follow the same pattern and were planned by the Open Society Network of George Soros and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). At least ten of the 22 directors of the NED are also members of the Rockefeller-founded Council on Foreign Relations.
Looks like all that 'leadership training' has paid off!
Thus Western High Finance is coordinating international crises, conducting revolutions under the guise of bringing democracy and deposing despots. The aim? To create initial chaos and the need for a new leader. Then they offer a solution: install a puppet who will do the economic bidding of the puppet masters. Citizens become economic serfs in exchange for freedom of speech and freedom of association.
Mohamed El Baradei is already being touted as the new leader for Egypt. El Baradei is a trustee of the International Crisis Group. Another board member this group is George Soros who sits on the executive committee of the ICG.
Soros has also played a leading role in the funding of the various 'colour' revolutions in Eastern Europe, all of which have had as their aim the undermining of traditional society and the opening up of former client states of nationalist Russia to Western development and banking profits.
Now the pattern is being repeated in the Middle East. The revolutionaries themselves may be fighting for freedom, but the people backing them are in it for profit and power.
