Bankers Buy Churchill

Writes Bill Madden:

The referenced link discusses Winston Churchill’s bad luck when the stock market crashed in 1929.  He lost heavily and considered selling his beloved home, Chartwell, but was bailed out by the international bankers to whom he sold his allegiance.  I learned of Churchill’s bailout by the bankers by reading the book from which the attached “Who Makes Our Money?” pamphlet is derived.
.
Churchill’s leadership of WW II with his constant acquiescence to the whims of the bankers was probably what caused General Patton to admit that we had fought on the wrong side. 
.
A very enlightening book on WW II is Mike King’s: “The Bad War” available at: www.realnewsandhistory.com.  Most history books about important events are written by establishment authors who are paid well to tell the establishment party line as opposed to the truth.  When the history concerns war, the victors create the history.
.
I have used the word “bankers” but really mean the super-rich aristocracy which runs each country and, together, run the world.  Wealthy families don’t put all of their money into one company or one industry.  They diversify their investments in many ways and the segment devoted to equities is further diversified into several industries.
.
A good book for understanding where we are today from the end of WW II is the one that I recommended yesterday: “America’s Empire of Evil” by Eric Zuesse.  Like Churchill, we are owned by our super-rich families and the Constitution which is intended to protect the people from an oppressive rogue government like we have today is totally disregarded.
