[edit] Used in Finance and Policy
In the world of finance, international bankers or international financiers are individuals or financial institutions that have substantial international presences. This includes most investment banks and many of the largest banks in most nations. International banks are challenged by the need to comply with a wide range of national banking legislation. There are a number of associations for international bankers, such as the The Institute of International Bankers.
International financiers and international bankers may also be used to refer to international finance institutions such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
[edit] The current Federal Reserve System and its relationship to the cabal of international financiers
This article is highly fictionalized with many inaccuracies. The federal reserve is a federal institution by order of Congress. Here is just one link with accurate info about the FED and NY FED: http://www.ny.frb.org/aboutthefed/introtothefed.html
Unknown by most American citizens, the Federal Reserve is NOT a US Federal government institution. In fact, it is a privately held corporation owned by its stockholders. The Federal Reserve has the sole authorization to print US currency which it then lends out at interest to member Federal Reserve Banks. By controlling key interest rates and the amount of curreny in circulation the Federal Reserve regulates the level of economic activity and the health of the American economy.
Moreover, until recently by law, the names of the owners of the Federal Reserve were kept secret due to a provision of the Federal Reserve Act, which stated that the identities of the Federal Reserve Bank Class A stockholders couldn’t be made public. It is now believed that original Federal Reserve Bank principle stockholders at the time of its founding were the ROTHSCHILD banks of London and Berlin; the LAZARD BROTHERS Banks of Paris; the ISRAEL MOSES SEIF Banks of Italy, the WARBURG Bank of Hamburg and Amsterdam; the LEHMAN BROTHERS Bank of New York; the GOLDMAN, Sachs Banks of New York; the KUHN, Loeb Bank of New York; and the CHASE MANHATTAN Bank of New York. These are the principle interests, which own and operate the Federal Reserve System, which has expanded to approximately three hundred stockholders. All of these interests are very well known to each other through many banking business relationships, and in fact many are related through marriage and biological decent.
The federal reserve bank proposal of 1913, which called for a central bank operated by banking industry insiders and private investors was originally presented by Nelson Aldrich, the maternal grandfather of today’s Rockefeller brothers, and was known as the Aldrich Bill. This bill was narrowly failed to pass congress, but was soon reintroduced and was passed as the Federal Reserve Act, officially known as the Owens Glass Act.
The final legislation created 12 Federal Reserve Banks that would act as central banks for all national banks and other member state institutions. In practice, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is the US Federal Reserve central bank. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York controls the entire member bank system. The member banks are not federal government institutions. They are private institutions owned by the member banks and their stockholders. Currently, more than ninety of the 100 largest banks in the United States are located within the Federal Reserve District in New York.
A Federal Reserve Board was formed to oversee the system and establish policy. Chairman and other members of the Board are be appointed by the president, with consent by congress. This provides some measure of political influence over the policy actions of the governing board of the Federal Reserve. The appointed chairmen of the Federal Reserve regularly report in open session to a joint committee of the House and Senate.
Class A stockholders exercise control over the Federal Reserve System by owning stock of the largest member banks in the New York Federal Reserve Bank. Fewer than a dozen international banking institutions hold a controlling interest in the New York Federal Reserve Bank, and of these only four institutions are based within the United States. The bulk of the external controlling interests are European, with the most influential of these being the Rothschild family of London.
Each of the American interests is in some way connected to the Rothschild family. Included among these are the Rockefellers who are by far the most powerful American stockholders of Federal Reserve System member banks. The Rockefeller holdings in the Federal Reserve are primarily through the Chase Manhattan Bank, which in recent decades has taken in very significant funding from Saudi royal family investors.
Through their U.S. and European agents, the Rothschilds financed the Rockefeller Standard Oil dynasty, the Carnegie Steel empire, and the Harriman railroad system. The Rockefeller clan, which later became intermarried with the Carnegies, financed many of American's leading capitalists through Chase Manhattan and Citibank.
Many of these families intermarried with the Rockefellers so that by 1937 one could trace "an almost unbroken line of biological relationships from the Rockefeller through one-half of the wealthiest sixty families in the nation."
Owing much of their wealth to the Rockefeller, these families have become loyal allies of the "family". The Rockefellers, on the other hand, owing their enormous fortune to the Rothschild banking empire, have for the most part remained true and loyal to them and to their European interest.
[edit] Used to describe the banking cabal (conspiracy theory)
Refers to a shadowy cabal of bankers and wealthy individuals involved in various worldwide plots. These groups include members like the Federal Reserve and the Rockefellers, although some may say that the terms are used by anti-Semites to refer to Jews, which ignores the fact that Jews are not the only Semitic people, and international financiers are by no means solely Jewish. Any reference to "The Jews" in this context is a red herring. There is usually much disinformation, "anti-Simitic" ravings and potty ideas attached to this conversaiton in order to allow the perjorative "conspiracy thoery" tag to stick.
Adolf Hitler, who was financed and put into power by corporations such as Union Banking, Thyssen, Bank of England and others often blamed "international financiers" or sometimes explicitly "Jewish international financiers" for Germany's debt after the First World War. In a similar vein, Henry Ford wrote an anti-Semitic tract entitled The International Jew, and references to "international bankers" were used by Charles Coughlin for the same purposes. But all of these points relating to "The Jews" are irrelevant and misleading: Hitler was financed by these entities, many of which did and do have connection to America, to the Bush family, and others of historical significance.
Hitler found his power through many corporations and banking institutions of the UK, US, Germany and other western nations. It was after the second world war that the founding of the nation of Israel was created stemming from what is known as the Balfour declaration.
The assertion that Hitler's rise to power was part of a conspiracy to push the creation of the state of Israel is often promoted by self-declared anti-Zionist groups who may also lump together such claims with the assertions that Jewish (again, irrelevant) international financiers are behind many evils.
Examples, based on considerable historical fact, of the alleged crimes by the international financiers include the funding of the Confederate Rebellion, the assassination of Lincoln, the assassination of John Kennedy, the financing of communism in Russia, the rise of Hitler, the 9/11/01 attacks on the World Trade Towers in New York, etc. Perhaps so, and these assertions deserve further consideration and debate free of racial prejudice.
Investigative journalist John Loftus has advanced the view that history will view Prescott Bush, (grandfather of current President GW Bush, father of former President Herbert Walker Bush) as harshly as Thyssen, an industrialist who made the Nazi industrial war machine possible. In Loftus' words, "It is bad enough that the Bush family helped raise the money for Thyssen to give Hitler his start in the 1920s, but giving aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war is treason. The Bush bank helped the Thyssens make the Nazi steel that killed Allied solders. As bad as financing the Nazi war machine may seem, aiding and abetting the Holocaust was worse. Thyssen's coal mines used Jewish slaves as if they were disposable chemicals. There are six million skeletons in the Thyssen family closet, and a myriad of criminal and historical questions to be answered about the Bush family's complicity."
Claims can take daring views, for example that international Jewish Zionist financiers including the Rothschild's wanted a holocaust so that the modern state of Israel would be agreed to as a compensation to the Jewish people for their losses. These groups assert that the international financiers, mainly the Rothschild's who are Ashkenazi Jews, willingly sacrificed Sephardic Jews to the Nazi holocaust for that purpose.
How can one differentiate false blame that deliberately creates confusion from points which merit further study? Go to the sources and investigate.
