It’s an easy catch-all to think of banks as evil entities that control the world through mass manipulation. But it’s inevitable that without banks, the world would still be digging through dirt to make a mud hut in which to reside. The problem with banks is that the further away they get, like most things, from individualized control, where unique personalities drove them to goodness or detriment, the more evil they became. Today’s trouble is that they are so big, powerful, and global that they no longer respect a sovereign nation. This is why my emphasis on things is to reflect to the beginning, toward western expansion for our national identity, as I point out often in my book The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, because the mistakes that banks have made over the years have only compounded on top of each other as more socialism and communism seeped into their practices, and golf swings became the measure of individual merit more than wisdom, and social utility. And that was certainly the case with Tom Lamont, one of the leading partners at J.P. Morgan, who would eventually run the whole bank. The banks caused most of the last century’s wars and created the blueprint for all future wars, which ultimately would become all about debt maintenance and not national values defined by borders. And keep in mind, the banks were best when people like Tom Lamont ran them. What we see today is far worse and demands a complete rethinking of how we maintain the value of our currency and how people protect it and use it for capitalist endeavors. But before we can fix it, we need to understand it, and many people don’t. When you start talking about monetary value, people’s eyes glaze over with boredom. Yet, it is one of the most important aspects of modern society, and to have a well-managed banking relationship with the rest of the world is a challenge.
There would not have been World War I if progressive globalists weren’t trying to push everyone’s buttons to form a League of Nations for global government. However, the debts incurred by that war caused forever trouble with other nations and started to erode the sentiments of everyone involved in the mess we see these days, which many have assumed was a forever condition. But we can’t accept that, and if we want to Make America Great Again, we have to start with a good, sound policy. Out of all the people involved in politics these days, Vivek Ramaswamy has some of the best ideas on how to restore the financial sovereignty of the United States and to start the process of undoing the many mistakes made by financial institutions as they began to dig themselves in a hole during Tom Lamont’s time. Like most things in life, the big banks that the Morgans and Rothschilds ran did some great stuff and many evil things, but the path to Hell was undoubtedly paved with good intentions. To say that World War II was caused essentially by Tom Lamont of the J.P. Morgan bank would not be wrong. Much of it was in reaction to massive bankruptcies that started on collapsed fiscal policies from World War I, especially in Germany and Italy. Tom Lamont was personally involved with Bonito Mussolini, the rise of the Nazi party, and the Emperor of Japan as they were all cash-strapped, and J.P. Morgan Bank tried to help manage them to keep them sovereign and independent.
The mistake happened when Tom Lamont thought he knew more about market conditions than the market itself. That is always the problem with banks: they try to micromanage their limits of vision into a more productive economy. Instead of serving the economy, they try to see themselves as super managers, and soon, they are putting constraints where they don’t belong, and things start getting out of hand. And that was the mistake with Tom Lamont and the Axis Powers during World War II. I have a problem that always comes up that causes me to think about this issue. I often talk about the Flying Tigers, the AVG group led by Claire Chennault to protect China from an aggressive Japan seeking to take their property. And how globalists at the time wanted to soften up China for a communist takeover after the defeated rebellion of communism occurred in 1926. So by the thirties, the Red Scare was spreading to all corners of the world, set afire by secret societies managing the decline of currencies everywhere. And the J.P. Morgan group out of New York wanted to save the world from this happening. However, they also behaved with too much socialism and micromanagement which was the trend of the time, thinking they could control banking enough to keep peace between everyone. But they tampered with market conditions and helped keep the Germans, Italians, and Japanese afloat when they should have collapsed under their mismanagement. Competition should have picked winners and losers, not banking relationships. And so it went that Japan had many hundreds and hundreds of planes financed by the banking industry intent to keep the peace, but instead cause the massive atrocities that were seen in the early days of World War II, and during it until it was eventually concluded with a nuclear bomb.
And the world never recovered from these mistakes. And instead of dealing with the errors, they have dug in and gone in the other direction, giving rise to an administrative state that is now ruling the world far worse than the days when Tom Lamont was giving money to the fascists of Italy and the Nazis of Germany, and making it so that the Japanese could build all those planes and navy to create a global monstrosity that could only be settled by war, in the aftermath of all that was the creation of the United Nations, which caused monumental problems on the world stage. However, they care only about creating a global government, not the impact it might have on individual people. The problem all these large institutions have is that they tamper with the markets rather than serving market needs, which is the heart of free market capitalism and the concept of the invisible hand, which hints at God managing the affairs of humanity, not institutions, which has always caused massive consternation. However, the fact remains that the banks were wrong from the beginning. They have done a lot right and a lot more incorrect. People like Tom Lamont should never have as much power over individual lives as they did. But the administrative state is a far worse creation than the power the banks had initially because they followed a wave of communism built off a Marxist ideology that ruined everyone’s approach from the very beginning. It’s not that modern society can’t live without banking relationships. But how they interact with the world needs to be much more Adam Smith and much less Karl Marx. In the beginning, nobody truly understood how market conditions were created and maintained, and a few individual tycoons like the Morgans, the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, and the Vanderbilts rose to meet the challenge. However, over a very short time, their failures migrated into the market and created disasters on a scale that nations couldn’t even deal with, but with war and carnage. It is an important lesson to consider as we fix the many problems of today, to Make America Great Again, and why that is the only hope for the world.
