The center of the merchant-moneylender power was not in Judah where there was nothing but scrub bushes and goats but in Babylonia and Assyria where the money was.
Those areas of irrigated lands supported large populations as gifts of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
And they were at the crossroads of international trade between:
- India
- Persia
- Egypt
- North Africa
- Anatolia
and Europe with connections to:
- Arabia
- the Spice Islands
- the Far East
including, at a later time, China.
For nearly the entire civilized time period of the:
- Sumerian
- Babylonian
- Assyrian
Empires, the highlands of Palestine were mere country bumpkin remote goat farms.
The crocodile still inhabited the Jordan River.
The:
- lion
- tiger
- bear
- antelope
- wild ox (Bos primigenius)
- the Mesopotamian fallow deer (Dama mesopotamica)
- the ostrich
- crocodile
and hippopotamus, all gradually became extinct in Palestine from extensive hunting.
The Mediterranean Climatic Zone of Palestine is a narrow belt of land, no more than a couple of hundred miles wide.
Mediterranean climate – Wikipedia
It is characterized by a short and wet winter, with an annual total of between 400 1200 mm (15.5 – 47.25 in.) of rainfall, and a long, dry summer.
It originally supported a vegetation of evergreen woodlands and high scrub vegetation which has now largely been destroyed by processes of land clearance and warfare.
NEW WORLD ORDER: JEWISH BANKSTERS’ WAR ON AMERICA & THE WORLD – Library of Rickandria
Deforestation and the removal of vegetation has resulted in many eroded landscapes.
In certain regions, the regeneration of tree growth and vegetation has been inhibited by the widespread browsing and grazing activities of sheep and goats. [3]
Once the grasses, bushes and trees were cut back, burned and dug out, then the rains washed away the humus and topsoil, leaving Palestine what it is today, an arid and desert-like moon scape inhabited by Jewish and Muslim assholes.
Babylonia and Assyria were also arid regions but irrigation canals from the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers gave an abundance of grain and vegetables to support large populations.
Grain was the major exportable trade item from this breadbasket of the Near East.
But it was a trade good that was controlled by those who controlled the international markets and trade routes.
Buying cheap grain in Mesopotamia – cheap grain raised by impoverished farmers and slaves – and shipping it to Persia or Arabia or to the Black Sea regions, allowed not only huge profits in grain but huge profits in metals.
Grain, its price suppressed by the merchant-moneylenders of Mesopotamia through:
- slave labor
- cheap immigrant labor
- tenant farming
could be traded for valuable copper in the grain-hungry lands of those merchant-moneylenders who controlled the copper monopolies in distant countries.
Thus, a double profit could be made by buying expensive copper with cheap grain, essentially getting the copper for next to nothing.
Hungry men digging copper out of unyielding rock, look upon an abundance of grain kindlier than they do upon the inedible metal in their hands.
International corporations and cartels kept the People impoverished at both ends of the trade routes, while the middlemen thrived.
Many must suffer and die so that a few elites may live in luxury.
Always, the merchant-moneylenders made use of the Twenty-One Secret Frauds of the Sumerian Swindle.
Secret Fraud #8
“Large crime families are more successful than lone criminals or gangs; international crime families are the most successful of all.”
Dealing in international trade requires many helpers.
Who is more reliable than one’s own family members working both ends of the trade routes?
Secret Fraud #11
“Dispossessing the People brings wealth to the dispossessor, yielding the greatest profit for the bankers when the people are impoverished.”
Keeping wages low both for the farmer and the miner through subversion of labor by slavery, requires large networks of conspiring family members and cartel allies setting the labor rates and bribing the kings.
But the technique only works when immigration of foreigners or slaves can be used to displace native labor so as to force the freemen into working like slaves.
Secret Fraud #18
“When the source of goods is distant from the customers, profits are increased both by import and export.”
Controlling both ends of a trade route also means controlling the transportation between markets.
So, the early Mesopotamian merchant-moneylenders were a well-organized gang who were related by marriage alliances and who operated:
- ships
- caravan pack animals
- barges
When we speak of the Ages of Man from the Stone Age, we speak of:
- the Copper Age
- the Bronze Age
- the Iron Age
for the simple reason that these basic metals made huge changes in society.
The usual history books speak as if these metals benefited everybody, which they did.
But they never speak about who benefited the most.
As you learned in Volume One, the importation of copper into Mesopotamia was a monopoly of the big moneylenders and business moguls.
It was a closed shop; no outsiders were allowed to deal on the wholesale level without being either related by marriage or to a partner via gifts and bribes.
Either way, business could only be conducted by permission of the guild patriarchs and under license of the kings.
Only the big money awilum [the Haves] could afford the expenses; and could negotiate the various territories of kings and tribal bandits; and could hire the ships to transport such a profitable and a heavy merchandise as copper and bulky grain.
And since they also managed the loan rates and the secret frauds of the Sumerian Swindle, they could insure that the copper mines were well supplied with slaves to be worked to death from not paying their debts to the moneylenders – cheap labor digging cheap copper to be sold for a premium price in Mesopotamia for cheap grain raised by starving farmers who were in debt to those same devils.
When societies were ruled by the very rich and labored by the very poor, only the very rich prospered.
But copper, itself, had no value unless it could be sold and shipped to where it was manufactured into weapons, tools and utensils of various sorts.
Thus, the big import-export merchants and their relatives and partners within Mesopotamia, controlled the prices and availability of copper from the earliest times.
With this control, they also managed a large percentage of and the outright monopolies over the manufacturing of copper into saleable goods such as:
- pots and kettles
- tools
- mace heads
This monopoly became even more ruthlessly administered after it was discovered how much more useful copper was when alloyed with tin and thus made into bronze.
Even without owning the copper mines, themselves, the Assyrian and Babylonian merchant moneylenders could control the prices of copper simply by controlling the foreign merchants and the transportation of the raw copper.
They leased or owned their own ships.
They could hire large caravans of donkeys, servants, and armed guards.
Copper ingots were shipped both overland from the Iranian plateau and from the Zagros mountains or by ships on the Persian Gulf from:
- Magan (Oman)
- Dilmun (Bahrain)
- Melukhkha (the Indus Valley)
as well as from Crete.
This was too perilous and expensive for the small-time operator.
These international, import-export merchant-moneylenders were at the top of Mesopotamian commercial society.
Everybody worked for them either directly or indirectly since they controlled the goods and prices for those goods upon which all of society depended – metal and grain.
In the Bronze Age, the same people who had controlled the copper supplies automatically controlled the even more important and valuable bronze.
And they were not about to let anyone interfere with either their profits or their power.
Certainly, the kings administered society in both peace and war – just as today – but it was the ones who controlled the gold and silver and the essential trade goods such as copper and bronze who controlled the kings – just as today.
Thus, the same families of merchant-moneylenders who controlled the basic supply of the metals for the Copper Age before 3000 BC, were directly in control of the entire Bronze Age in the ancient Near East beginning after 3000 BC.
Up until the advent of the Iron Age around 1000 BC, these same super-wealthy families controlled the metals that created the Bronze Age.
However, the copper from the Sinai Peninsula was controlled by Egypt, making that country an even greater target for subversion by the Hyksos and moneylenders of Babylonia than the lure of its gold alone would warrant, great though that hoard of gold was.
Those particular Mesopotamian merchant moneylenders became wealthy and powerful through the application of Secret Fraud #18
“When the source of goods is distant from the customers, profits are increased both by import and export”
and Secret Fraud #21
“Control the choke points and master the body; strangle the choke points and kill the body.”
They controlled the sources and distribution of copper from all of the mining regions as well as the grain supplies.
In economic terms, this was equivalent to the modern-day merchant-moneylenders who control the distribution of oil and gas and grain in the West. Today, these awilum [the Haves] wear pin-striped suits and drive Ferrari’s rather than wearing goat hair garments and driving two oxen from a wagon.
But their control of society was the same.
The ratio of their wealth is comparable.
And their ruthless greed is identical.
This was the beginning of the Bronze Age (~3000 1000 BC), a whole new era among Mankind where the strength and durability of bronze increased Man’s power through better tools and more efficient weapons.
It was a new age for Mankind and a new profit opportunity for the same Treasonous Class who controlled the bronze supplies because they controlled the copper supplies.
Mankind took a step forward, but the same parasites were sucking the blood from his veins.
In the Bronze Age, the metalworker was a specialist whose products transformed society by their effect on:
- agriculture
- warfare
- transportation
Anatolia had the richest copper ore deposits in the whole Near East.
Though naturally occurring metallic copper was already known as early as the Neolithic period, the actual smelting technology was developed during the fourth millennium BC.
Native copper could be found in numerous deposits in a belt of mineralization extending across southeastern Anatolia into northern Iraq.
NEW WORLD ORDER: IRAQ: Destroying Our Past – Library of Rickandria
In the early third millennium BC the Sumerians suddenly switched to the Persian Gulf trade for copper since their extensive river and canal system made it easier to transport such a heavy item from overseas.
Considerable amounts of copper were involved in this trade.
A single cuneiform text from Ur, dated to the reign of Rim-Sin of Larsa (1822-1763 BC), recorded the receipt of copper in Dilmun (Bahrain) which weighed, according to the standard of Ur, 18,333 kilograms.
One-third of this copper was earmarked for delivery to Ea-nasir of Ur, a merchant who had close connections with the Dilmun and Magan (Oman) copper trade. [4]
Only the awilum [the Haves] could deal with such large quantities.
Bronze was an elitist metal not only because of the great distances that it traveled through monopolistic trade channels controlled by a very few capitalists, but because it required a certain technical ability to create molds and to pour the molten metal into those molds.
When Bronze tools or weapons broke, they could not be repaired.
So, the broken pieces could only be sold as scrap, transported to manufacturing sites where it was melted down and again poured into molds.
Bronze was an international product controlled by a few industrial monopolists.
But with the discovery of iron, the Iron Age began.
Iron was found everywhere and once its methods of smelting and forging were disseminated, iron became the common man’s metal, superior in strength and cutting power, lighter and easier to work than bronze and holding a sharper cutting edge.
When iron implements broke, they could be welded back together and forged over bellows-charged charcoal fires and beat into shape with hammer and anvil, turning them into steel.
With the Iron Age, the elitist control of the Mesopotamian trade networks weakened.
Iron ploughs opened up vast expanses of the European rocky soils and Russian heavy soils to farming.
NEW WORLD ORDER: RUSSIA: The Jewish Takeover of Russia – Library of Rickandria
This increased food supplies and resulted in increased populations.
Increased populations meant that the moneylenders could work the Sumerian Swindle upon many more people and thus increase their profits through mercantile pursuits including:
- usury
- slavery
- warfare
But as the ages passed, the ones who controlled the:
- copper
- tin
- gold
- silver
- iron
and bronze, remained the same families of schemers.
Through:
- multiple wives
- incest
- adoption
the same Semitic families perpetuated themselves and maintained their control of these lucrative monopolies and cartels in league with other merchant-moneylender families centered in other cities and other countries.
Even across international borders, it was their business interests that bound them together and these were often sealed with marriage contracts.
- The wealth
- the properties
- the ships
- the mines
- the manufacturing facilities
- the moneylending activities
- the slave markets
- the brothels
- the taverns
etc., were all operated by family members or trusted cartel- or guild-member allies of the family.
All businesses were kept in the family and not allowed to dissipate through deaths and bequeaths because they used the Semitic moneylender’s ploy of incestuously marrying their near relatives.
So, when one marriage partner died, the other did not take the family fortune back to their parent family because husband and wife came from the same, extended family of incestuous Semites, marrying their sisters and nieces so that they could keep all of their gold.
With such methods as:
- polygamy
- incestuous marriages
- adoption
these families persisted through the ages while promoting only the most ruthless and sly sons to be heads of their extended gangs of business moguls.
Later examples of those crime families are such banking firms as the House of Egibi in Babylon and the Ea-iluta-bani family of Borsippa during the Neo-Babylonian and Persian periods.
They operated throughout Babylonia and even into Iran.
Miles Williams Mathis: Iran’s Jewish Rulers – Library of Rickandria
Besides operating the Sumerian Swindle for their own profit, they acted as real estate managers by renting fields for absentee landlords, rich landlords who had already swindled the farmers and needed someone else to collect the rents so that they could avoid the very real possibility of being murdered by their impoverished victims.
Landlords whose business investments were so extensive that family members alone were not enough to manage the estates, hired out the management to a banking firm when necessary.
For the dispossessed and under-employed people of the ancient Near East who had suffered from two thousand years of the Sumerian Swindle engineered by the ruthless and insatiable greed of the merchant moneylenders, wages were kept low, and rents were kept high.
For those who had no mud-brick house of their own; the least they could expect to pay in rent was half a silver shekel per year, but the average price was a whole shekel (8 grams of silver).
On taking possession, they paid a deposit which sometimes amounted to one-third of the whole sum, the remainder being due at the end of the year.
The leases lasted, as a rule, merely a twelve-month, though sometimes they were extended for terms of greater length, such as two, three, or even eight years. [5]
During this Old Babylonian Period (2000 – 1750 BC), the average wages paid for hired labor was 10 shekels per year for a twelve-to-fourteen-hour day.
But actual wages gradually were reduced to two liters of bread and two liters of beer per day, barely enough to share with a wife.
The very rich knew how to starve the very poor into submission.
The archives of the House of Murashu of Nippur have also been found.
They were in the banking business in the last half of the fifth century BC.
Working in league with the kings, they rented royal lands to tenant farmers and acted as agents in converting agricultural profits into metal.
The Egibi and the Murashu families dominated the entire region.
Although most of the archives found so far, were from the beginning of the Persian period (the latter part of the sixth century BC), these archives were often a continuation of those begun under the Neo-Babylonian kings.
Remember, it was traditional from the days of Sumeria that archives and records were ceremonially destroyed and stomped into dust when they had been fulfilled.
That the extant archives are continuations from an earlier era only means that the same system was perpetuated from the Sumerian times of 3000 BC.
These private archives showed a large sector of the population was involved in financial and commercial operations. [6]
Like the bankers and financiers of today, they did no actual work but merely manipulated money and people for their own profit.
Once coinage was invented which increased the speed and convenience of commerce, private banking flourished on a scale previously unknown in Babylonia, and from the late 6th century onwards the dynastic banking houses of the Egibi family in Babylon and the Murashu in Nippur, made colossal fortunes by lending money at exorbitant rates of interest.
In regions to the west, the Babylonian practice of charging interest on certain types of loan was regarded as ungentlemanly.
That is, it was “ungentlemanly” for awilum [the Haves] to charge each other interest but it was business-as-usual to charge interest to everyone else.
Thus, this letter from Ugarit (on the Syrian coast):
“Give the 140 shekels which are still outstanding from your own money but do not charge interest between us – we are both gentlemen!” [7]
The awilum [the Haves] made a profit from everyone, but among themselves, they loaned each other silver and gold interest-free.
Just as today, the moneylenders had seized control of society and maintained that control through their extended family connections.
But whether:
- Assyrian
- Babylonia
- Phoenician
- Arabian
- Yemenite
or Hebrew, they were all working the same Sumerian Swindles and monopoly import-export.
They all belonged to the trade guilds that specialized in these occupations because no one in Mesopotamia could do business without the help and the permission of the monopolists clans who had been there for millennia.
They all knew one another either personally or through correspondence.
In the first place, all business in Mesopotamia was based on import-export since there was nothing other than
- water
- dirt
- sunshine
and agriculture possible in those dusty plains lacking natural resources.
Anything other than that had to be imported.
Import-export was only possible on a large scale.
Travel in summer was usually undertaken at night.
For security purposes to avoid bandits, merchants usually formed joint caravans.
In mountains and deserts, guides and armed escorts were hired.
The track taken by a road depended on the locations of:
- water
- food supplies
- mountain passes
- river fords
and ferries.
The rise of a new political center deflected some roads at the height of their power. [8]
All of these conditions and events were discussed and the information shared and made available at the guild halls of the merchant associations, just as they are today.
Having the latest:
- geographical
- political
- commercial
information often meant the difference between good profits and total disaster.
But all of these merchant associations were in competition with one another.
The individuals from these divergent associations were divided in their religious loyalties among the many and various gods and temples of their cities.
Thus, the secrets of one guild would be shared with the brothers of another guild who followed a different god.
SECRET SOCIETY: The Brotherhood – Library of Rickandria
There were many business guilds.
Every city had at least one for the moneylenders in addition to those representing the various other occupations of merchants and craftsmen.
Doing business without being a member of a guild was impossible, the guild patriarchs and their strong-arm henchmen guaranteed that, and the laws of the kings enforced such uniformity.
Strong arm enforcement of trade sources, trade channels and both the wholesale and retail trade, was the venue of each guild since there were no laws to protect people from violent tactics.
The merchant moneylenders could afford bodyguards and small gangs of enforcers.
Business was standardized across the entire ancient Near East.
All values were based on shekels of silver.
So, whether businessmen came from:
or Assyria, they all practiced the same business methods handed down from the earliest times from Sumeria.
This included careful control of labor, and the hours worked versus the stingy handful of grain paid to a worker for a twelve-hour day.
The merchant-moneylenders kept careful count of the time that their laborers worked.
The foreman and his scribe were always early to record the arrival and departure time of the workers.
An Ur III archive from around 3000 BC from the temple at Ur, showed that a number of different crafts were responsible to a single administrative officer.
Labor was recruited and supervised.
For example, texts recorded the amounts produced by potters, listing the exact time needed to make each type of pot.
This was also true for other crafts, such as the textile industry, in which types and grades of cloth were precisely listed and recorded together with the workdays required.
Materials were regularly recycled in palaces and temples.
The temple supplied raw materials which were kept in a special storehouse for manufacture.
Finished goods were distributed to their destinations.
Furnaces were designated specifically for the recycling of metal into assayed ingots which would be redistributed as needed; both archaeological and textual sources have confirmed this process.
And all of it was supported by accurate bookkeeping by professional scribes.
The Ur craft archive listed raw materials and f finished goods, both balanced by records of labor.
Some daily accounts showed that the same craftsmen came to work regularly, though occasionally they were recorded as “sick” or just absent.
The rations issued to state employees in the Ur III period consisted mostly of grain, wool or cloth, and oil, but other commodities were sometimes included.
The texts clearly differentiated between workers according to age and sex.
The level of remuneration was correlated with the kinds of service performed, so that foremen of labor teams, or workers on better quality cloth, received more pay.
Long-term workers, whether freemen or slaves, received rations on a monthly basis.
The wool ration issued to temple employees of the third millennium BC implied that these workers were expected to spin and weave their own garments.
For example, 600 tons of wool were turned over to a factory at Lagash, where over 6,000 workers toiled, the majority being women and children.
After the Ur III period, there was less evidence for large-scale centrally controlled production. [9]
This is because the numerous private and family businesses began to control all trade through their guilds.
As in modern times, the merchant-moneylenders had bribed the officials into allowing them to buy up public workplaces from the temple factories and to “privatize” industry.
No longer were the people working for God, doing the common labor to benefit them all, but they were working for the tamkarum [merchant moneylenders] doing the common labor to benefit the merchants and moneylenders.
It was a very sophisticated system of factories, crafts, farms and transportation monopolies, all operated by related families and interlocking trade guilds.
The modern world has basically the same ancient system, only more complicated, and operated by much sneakier and more ruthless merchant-moneylenders.
Mesopotamian trade was run by family firms.
The head of the family lived in a large city such as Ashur, and a junior member of the family would be the resident agent in the guild at an outlying trade center such as Kanesh.
The family capitalized these ventures, but sometimes partnerships were formed to raise the necessary capital.
The merchant colonies were self-governing, but under the aegis of local princes to whom they paid taxes.
The guilds had their own legal status separate from the rest of society.
Besides merchants involved in large-scale trade, there were plenty of retail merchants and jobbers who operated as small-scale peddlers. [10]
Like in modern times, trade was organized like a tree where the source of wholesale goods distributed to smaller and smaller sub-contractors all the way out to the door-to-door salesman riding his donkey into the distant villages.
After 1850 BC the caravan traffic between Assyria and its trade colonies in eastern Asia Minor, centered at Kanesh, was documented by thousands of records and letters from the houses of the merchant colony at Kanesh.
These records described the resolution of disputes between Kanesh merchants and their counterparts at the home base at Ashur, the formation of partnerships to provide capital, the adjustment of business debts between both parties, family business such as inheritance arrangements, requests for assistance in private or business matters, and reports of taking interest and compound interest.
Tablets also documented events from their journeys and distribution of goods within Anatolia.
So, you see, there was no difference between them and the intelligence level of modern businessmen.
The levels of business sophistication were comparable.
The Assyrians lived outside the walled city of Kanesh in their own quarter, called the karum, a word from Babylonia originally meaning “quay” or “wharf,” where canal traffic was unloaded and business transacted.
But whether in Assyria or Babylonia, a karum referred to the association of merchants with its own legal status, a kind of trade board, and was applied by the Assyrians there in the heart of Anatolia even though there were no navigable rivers or harbors.
The traders were royal envoys as well, bringing valuable gifts from one ruler to the next.
Treaties guaranteed their safety. [11]
Luxury items were important for maintaining the prestige and position of the royal palaces and temples.
Because of the expense and risk involved in obtaining these rare materials, their acquisition remained almost exclusively the business of:
- kings and queens
- powerful governors
- wealthy temple estates
[12] all of whom depended upon the merchants for supply; the same merchants whose guilds and international trade channels extended far beyond the view of kings; the same merchants who could supply rare, imported luxuries not only at a high price, but also as a way of soliciting kingly favors.
All of these merchants practiced Secret Fraud #18 of Sumerian Swindle:
“When the source of goods is distant from the customers, profits are increased both by import and export.”
So, a rare and beautiful oyster pearl that had cost no more than a basket of barley and a couple of metal fishhooks to the merchant stationed at the trade center on Dilmun (Bahrain), might carry a price in silver that only a prince or a king in distant Anatolia or Assyria could afford.
Small, easily concealed, items with a high mark-up value were especially esteemed by the merchants.
Not only could they be smuggled past the tax collector and the thieves, but they produced enormous profits in a tiny cargo space.
Certainly, all imported goods have a huge mark-up from their original source.
But this same pearl could be used to bribe a prince or a king into declaring or, even better, into passing a law giving the merchant and his family of thieves, exclusive rights to some commercial scam or some other advantage that no one else had.
Thus, incredible commercial and monetary advantages could be had by bribing officials.
And though the prince or other official believed that he had accepted a rare and expensive pearl in exchange for betraying his people to the merchant moneylenders, in fact, he had betrayed his people and allowed these Monsters to swindle his entire nation for a total cost to them of a basket of grain and a couple of fishhooks.
Secret Fraud #18 has many uses.
Bribery was a way of life throughout the entire history of the ancient Near East even into modern times.
There was no sense of moral obligation of leaders protecting their people.
The appointment of officials was a system of patronage and nepotism.
A provincial governor considered his province to be his personal property, from which he tried to obtain as much profit as possible.
The concept of:
“integrity of office”
did not exist; bribes or gifts were routinely given to influence a decision.
Public office was a potential source of personal wealth, and provincial governorships were the most lucrative offices. [13]
It was not that the ancient societies were corrupt, but rather, that they had been corrupted.
After many millennia of the rich getting richer by stealing from the poor, the old temple-based teachings of the priests and monks had been set aside by those who controlled the wealth.
By controlling the wealth, even the vilest and evil could pay the price of whoever would do their bidding.
The beer halls and taverns had long been under the control of the merchant-moneylenders.
Miles Williams Mathis: The BEER HALL PUTSCH was Faked! – Library of Rickandria
In these places, profits were not only made in excess, but the laborers could be anaesthetized from their hard life of poverty with cheap beer and prostitutes – cheap beer and prostitutes, all a spin-off of the Sumerian Swindle.
Clay bas-relief plaques excavated from these taverns depict women leaning against a mud-brick tower, perhaps the town walls, where prostitutes usually lived and worked – women desperate to sell their bodies for the price of beer and bread.
In some tavern scenes, one or more persons are shown drinking from vases or cups.
The taverns, run by the women known as sabitum [alewife moneylenders] were houses of pleasure where men drank, listened to music, and had intercourse with prostitutes.
The walls of the tap room were decorated with clay plaques of naked women performing erotic acts.
Ishtar, the goddess of love, was the patron of taverns. [14]
And, not coincidentally, she was one of the gods of the moneylenders.
RELIGION: DEMONS: The Pagan Gods of Hell – Library of Rickandria
The consort of the Hebrew Canaanite god, Yahweh, was Ishtar (a.k.a., Asherah or Astarte).
Thus, it is very clear that the people who operated the Sumerian Swindle throughout Mesopotamia, the people who controlled:
- the silver and gold
- the copper and bronze
- the grain supplies
- the control of labor
- the manufacturing
- the wholesale and retailing of both finished goods and raw materials
- the import-export of all trade goods
- the creation and sale of slaves and promotion of slavery
- the taverns, brothels, brewing and wine production
- the weaving and garment industry
- the importation of luxury items
and the bribery of officials, were all the same clans and families of conspirators.
They were known, in general, as the tamkarum [merchant-moneylenders].
They belonged to the highest social class known as the awilum [the Haves].
And they considered themselves to be “gentlemen,” those who did no work but bought and sold and invested and hired others to do the work for them.
They were very ruthless in extracting profits from the muskenum [the Have-Nots] and would enslave entire families who fell under their debt.
But among their own social class of “gentlemen,” they gave each other loans without interest.
By the time Terah, the Babylonian, had envisioned his own special swindle, these awilum [Haves] were an entire class of people who had been betraying and robbing everybody around them for over two thousand years because:
“that is how it had always been.”
The actual records of their activities, written on the enduring rock-hard clay tablets, were excavated by the archaeologists.
They show the innumerable promissory notes, the receipted accounts, the contracts of sale and purchase – those cunningly drawn up deeds which have been deciphered by the hundreds – reveal to us a people greedy of gain, exacting, litigious, and almost exclusively absorbed by material concerns. [15]
SCIENCE: Jewish Pseudoscience & Materialism – Library of Rickandria
These were the kinds of people whom Terah, the patriarch of the moneylender guilds of Ur and Harran represented.
These were people who wrote extremely binding contracts for their victims and their business partners.
They knew how to write an air-tight deed or a business contract so that there would be no doubt as to who was required to do what, and who would benefit and who would pay, all with the appropriate times and amounts stipulated and carefully recorded.
They called themselves “gentlemen,” the awilum [the Haves].
They were never in debt even to one another because they only charged the enslaving interest of the Sumerian Swindle to the muskenum [the Have-Nots], those working and suffering people for whom they had only contempt.
The muskenum lower classes truly had nothing that they could call their own.
They labored on the farms that the “gentlemen” had stolen.
They bought their beer in the taverns that the “gentlemen” owned and screwed the whores who were the slave property of the “gentlemen.”
The wages that the “gentlemen” paid them was only grain to live on and it was never enough to feed their wives and children because the “gentlemen” brought in immigrant aliens and slaves to compete with and dispossess the resident farmers.
And when a farmer went broke from the high interest rates, the “gentlemen” sold the farm to foreigners who pushed aside the local people with the help of the king’s soldiers.
Then, these “gentlemen” put their slaves to work for no pay other than a piece of bread.
What else could the free working man do except work for the same wages as a slave or hire himself out to the king as a soldier, a soldier who would be ordered to dispossess his own people if so, ordered by a king who had been corrupted and bribed by the “gentlemen”?
What little that the “Have-Nots” made with their labor; they had to give to the “gentlemen” to whom they owned interest.
And this debt could never be repaid under the Sumerian Swindle of compound interest because the workers never made enough to pay it off.
And the skyrocketing interest soon made it impossible to ever pay it off.
[See Appendix B: Loan Shark Rates for Short Term Loans]
So, they were trapped by an eternal debt and by an unending labor owed to those high and mighty “gentlemen” who would steal their wives and children and clap them into slave collars instead of accepting their paltry bowls of grain as their only ability to pay.
Those “gentlemen” had such disdain for the laboring and indebted muskenum classes who would fall at their feet, bowing and pleading for mercy, that the word muskenum [the Have-Nots] did not fully express their contempt.
No, that name would not do at all.
A new name was coined from their Aramaic language and used privately among themselves.
It was standardized in the Hebrew language to fully define those people who were beneath the contempt of the moneylenders.
And it is a word that is used to this very day.
These “gentlemen” – behind the backs of their victims or laughing up their sleeves as they spoke – began to define their victims and to speak about them in private among themselves as the goyim, a word that means “lowly insects” or “stupid cattle.”
And so, by the time that Terah had conceived his clever hoax, the ancient Sumerian class of citizens known as the tamkarum [merchant-moneylenders], belonging to the upper class of:
- kings
- priests
- administrators
who were all together known as the awilum [the Haves], no longer looked upon the muskenum [the Have-Nots] as fellow humans who owed them money.
They no longer looked upon them as fellow humans whom they had purposely reduced to:
- starvation
- prostitution
- drunkenness
- poverty
and slavery.
To refer to someone as a muskenum [Have Not] no longer contained the:
- contempt
- derision
- distain
- hatred
and malice that these upper classes of moneylenders and merchants – these “gentlemen” – had for the:
- ragged
- dirty
- malnourished
- poverty-stricken
slum-dwellers who had been the victims of the moneylenders’ very profitable Sumerian Swindle and who had arrived at their wretched condition because of these very same parasitic “gentlemen”.
To keep the goyim (lowly insects, stupid cattle) forever in his debt and to put himself and his tribe of moneylenders and con artists at the top of the social and commercial heap, Terah and his scribes devised the Biggest Lie Ever Told.
It was a binding, one-way contract based upon two thousand years of merchant-moneylender cunning.
But it was more than a legal contract because it also used the Aramaic and Semitic sorcery known as abracadabra, which means:
“I create as I speak,”
that is, whatever lie was told came into creation because the speaker created it in his imagination and uttered it through his mouth.
In this case, what was written as the “word of God” became the word of God simply because no one could say otherwise.
With abracadabra, the priests of Terah’s Temple could declare any law and that law became binding because it was declared to be a “law of God.”
Laws give power to the law givers; so, write your own laws and gain all the power.
And when – Abracadabra! – the laws are declared to be the “laws of God” then – Abracadabra! – those who write the laws have the power of God.
What happens when:
- greedy
- vicious
- deceitful
- malicious
- murderers
- rapists
- pedophiles
speak forth with an abracadabra that says,
“This is the word of God”
Then, their evils become concealed behind the alleged “words of God.”
They are protected by an illusion.
Terah, the Babylonian Patriarch of the moneylender guilds of Ur and Harran, devised the Greatest Lie Ever Told.
His family of swindling moneylenders and thieves, polished and perfected that Great Lie over the next three thousand years until it became the Judaism that we know today.
Written into the Contract of this genealogical swindle is Terah’s name at the very root of the tribal tree, the name of the founder of Judaism – a monster of Babylon.
To establish a home base for his new swindle, a place where all of his stolen treasures could be stored and protected from fellow thieves and kings, Terah sent his youngest son, Abraham, to Canaan in order to swindle the property of the Canaanites.
And why Canaan?
Because located in that inconsequential territory was a rocky promontory surrounded by ravines where a bank could be built inside of a stone temple, surrounded by stone walls, protected by:
- cruel
- cunning
- perverted
creatures with hearts of stone.
And to frighten away all who would even so much as look at his piles of gold, Terah conjured up with abracadabra, a monster of a god who would bring havoc and death to the world through the connivance of his little devils wearing beanies and sidelocks while pretending to be holy.
