E. Michael Jones and Usury in the Church
The Rothschild bank and the popes of usury
On Fri, Aug 10, 2018 E. Michael Jones <jones@culturewars.com> wrote:"Garrick Small weighs in on the usury issue, including Mr. Hoffman's claims, in the letters column of the September 2018 issue of Culture Wars. I stand by my claim that the Church has not changed her position."____________________________Ignoring the role of the Rothschild bank in the papacy's revolutionary ruling admitting usurers to Communion(This established the precedent for the later admission of abortion-enablers to Communion — Satanic situation ethics are lethal to the Gospel!)

In addition to hundreds of pages in my book Usury in Christendom: The Mortal Sin that Was and Now is Not, my most recent “reply" to disinformation about Rome’s Money Power, such as Dr. Jones appears to be promoting, will be found on pp. 594-631 of The Occult Renaissance Church of Rome (consisting of the chapter, “The Breeders of Money Gain Dominion Over the Church of Rome").
Printed editions of Martin Luther’s thunderous sermons against renting money. These anti-usury pamphlets were banned by the Medici pope and circulated only in areas not controlled by Rome.
Dr. John Rao of “The Roman Forum” held a symposium recently on how Martin Luther was supposedly the source of the rise of greed in Christendom, when in fact, a substantial part of Luther’s revolt against the papacy was his rage over the incremental papal permission for renting money, most notably by the detested papalist banking house of Fugger in Germany, and in Italy, the Medici bank, on whose behalf Medici Pope Leo X, on May 4, 1515, loosened some of the strictures against usury for the sake of alleged "charity-lending to the poor.” Papal situation ethics were employed for the accumulation of filthy lucre by Leo X's family’s banking house and that of others like them, using the alibi of the Monte di Pietá.
The gradual steps initiated by the Renaissance and post-Renaissance pontiffs, evolving from covert incremental loosening to full overt permission for usury, took a little more than three centuries, culminating on August 18, 1830 in Pope Pius VIII’s directive to the effect that those Catholics who take interest on money to the rate permitted by law are free to receive Holy Communion and need not confess what had been a mortal sin for the first millennium of Christ’s Church. This remains the situation for contemporary church-goers.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, but two years later, in 1832, the Rothschild bank of Paris extended a loan to keep the papacy afloat. In July 1849 the pope (Pius IX) cast lines anew to the Rothschild bank. In January 1850 Rothschild approved a loan of 50 million francs. In 1857 Vatican Secretary of State Giacomo Antonelli used Peter’s Pence as collateral in negotiating a new loan with Rothschild (cf. Usury in Christendom, p. 265).
“The Rothschilds…are the guardians of the papal treasure.” Jewish Encyclopedia, vol. 2, p. 497 (Click on the image to enlarge it).
If Drs. E. Michael Jones, John Rao and other Romanist leaders like them, along with their supporters, will not study the evidence in my two books and attempt to refute it, what would be the point of any engagement with them on my part?
As we have noted numerous times since its publication in May of 2017, the vast majority of “conservative Catholic” and “traditional Catholic” editors, bloggers and podcasters have given The Occult Renaissance Church of Rome the silent treatment. This is a technique well-known to victims of the Zionist media; that it is employed by the Romanists comes as no surprise to this writer. When partisans have no credible answer to new discoveries in history which seriously undercut their belief systems, they suppress them. The similarity to rabbinic tactics of evasion and avoidance is striking.

The Occult infiltration of "traditional Catholicism”
By Michael Hoffman
Our colleague, who writes under the nom de plume "Maurice Pinay," has tracked the occult footprints in the “traditional Catholic” movement with admirable persistence.
His latest notes are here: http://mauricepinay.blogspot.com/2015/03/a-better-yet-expose-of-fatima-rabbis.html
The occult is indeed alive and well inside so-called "traditional Catholicism." Occultism is not an exclusively Left wing or liberal phenomenon, though the Cryptocracy would like us to believe that it is limited to the Left. “Fatima priest” Fr. Gruner’s alliance with the Talmudic rabbi, as documented in Gruner's own video, is evidence of this (see Pinay, above).
So too is a forthcoming Right wing Catholic conference dedicated to honoring Ramon Lull, whose quasi-Kabbalistic tropes helped to influence the thought of Giordano Bruno. This conference dares to attempt to integrate Dante, the medieval bulwark against sorcery and usury, with Lull, medieval spiritual father of Renaissance sorcerers like Bruno: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/dante-llull-conference-conversioncoexistence-tickets-15060595647
This “Dante and Lull” conference will take place in Italy on May 29, twenty-five days after the 500th anniversary of the initiation, by Medici Pope Leo X, of a process of gradualism, whereby the Church's immemorial dogmatic law against the charging of interest on loans of money was incrementally relaxed and diluted, leading to the complete abolition of all ecclesiastical penalties for usury by Pope Pius VIII in 1830, and the absence of all such penalties in the 1917 and 1983 Codes of Canon Law.
Will the Italian conference ostensibly dedicated to Dante, the scourge of usurers, note this malevolent anniversary and study its implications and methodology, whereby “pastoral” means were employed to gradually transform usury from a mortal sin to no sin at all? This “pastoral” technique for nullification of the Law of God should be familiar to all students of the devious tactics of revolutionary change agents, among whom the most notable contemporary example is the current pontiff, Pope Francis, spiritual heir of Giovanni di Lorenzo de’ Medici.
Furthermore, certain extreme Right wing “Catholic” occultists view the Tridentine Latin Mass as a magical rite and call for the “baptism" of the diabolic doctrines of Renaissance Hermeticism.
This is not the legacy of “Vatican II.” This is the legacy of the popes of the Renaissance and their co-conspirators, as we are endeavoring to establish in a revisionist history we hope to have finished, Deo volente, this autumn (“The Occult Renaissance Church of Rome”).

Fundamental to righteous government is the establishment of justice
Updated May 18, 2017
The jurist Howard B. Rand has perhaps written between twenty and thirty volumes. From a brief essay he wrote some years back called From the Cradle to the Grave, we should take note of his opinion on what the Preamble actually means to us as a basis for our system of laws.
The jurist Howard B. Rand has perhaps written between twenty and thirty volumes. From a brief essay he wrote some years back called From the Cradle to the Grave, we should take note of his opinion on what the Preamble actually means to us as a basis for our system of laws.
“We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America.”
Rand lists the following five mandates that must be weighed with every action initiated by government for that action to be in compliance with the Constitution:
“1) Establish justice.
2) Insure domestic tranquility.
3) Provide for the common defense.
4) Promote the general welfare.
5) Secure the blessings of liberty.
“Let us examine this list carefully, for the solution of human problems does not lie in changing the original purpose for which governments came into being, a purpose sanctioned by God, nor in changing or discounting the reasons for the writing of the Constitution of the United States, but in a restoration of the administration of laws that already exist, the keeping of which will assure the blessings of all these five points and more also – even freedom from want. We challenge those who propose to set up a form of government that will make everyone conscious of government in his business, domestic and private life and that, instead of thus attaining their desired end (that is, tranquility and peace), will but establish inequalities, injustice, tyranny and oppression” (end quote).
“Fundamental to righteous government is the establishment of justice.”
This justice will never be accomplished with an unrighteous monetary system in operation as we now have. It has been revealed in the Pentateuch, the Psalms, Ezekiel, the Lord Jesus Himself and one thousand five hundred years of Church history that the charging of interest on loans of money is not allowable. Michael Hoffman did not miss any of the Biblical and Church history interdictions against usury in his Usury in Christendom.
During the past three hundred and twenty years, many different historical narratives show us clearly that a usurious monetary system is a bane upon civilization. Money and credit created out of nothing that is lent at interest is indeed a tool for economic oppression. Without attending to this severe problem of the outlawing of usury first (as Mr. Rand put it), none of the objectives named in the Preamble will ever be attainable, because the political class has evolved into a swarm of swindlers and shavers just like the bankers that Jefferson so named.
Most reformers today though, have not yet embraced the only vision that will overturn the beast of usury capitalism. They write about reform, but only a reform that has already been tried during Colonial America by followers of Ben Franklin’s philosophy — that moderate usury is not harmful. And still today, almost no one argues that bankers be stripped of their authority to create money, as Thomas Jefferson advocated. Although some of the reform-peddlers are very professional at articulating their cases, all will fall short of bringing prosperity to the people. St. Paul wrote twice in his epistles, “A little leaven, leavens the whole lump.”
As long as everyone can charge interest on loans of money, that interest will show up in prices. Jefferson explained this very carefully with his observations on the price of a bushel of wheat. Yet he missed the fact that the interest charged by the Bank of the United States on the "bills of credit" it issued as loans to the people, would also be figured into the price of a bushel of wheat.
Usury of control freakdom is only one of several drawbacks that results from usury capitalism. Let’s call it what describes it accurately and thoroughly.
40% to 60% of all prices go to pay directly for...usury
As for circular thinking, I think this is better described as dogma that is bereft of the truths given to us in the Christian Bible. This is something that church scholars and legates are guilty of fostering. Fortunately for us, Bible translators have provided for us enough accuracy to separate the true from the false.
Whenever usury is present in any monetary system - gold included, the usury is like leaven in the prices of goods and services. It is sufficiently pervasive to the extent that 40% to 60% of all prices go to pay directly for this usury. Moreover, 20% of our national budget is used to pay just the interest on our national debt at the same time that the principle continues to increase. In other words, no principle is included in Treasury’s payments to the bankers. In addition, the remainder of the national budget that is paid for government expenditures and infrastructure out of tax revenues also has this pervasive usury that is present in all government expenditures. The now deceased architectural professor Margrit Kennedy along with the economist Anthony Migchels both calculate an accurate number to account for existing usury in all prices is 40%. So this 40% of all existing earned wealth is earmarked for the parasites and vultures of mankind.
A second drawback inherent in usury capitalism consists in the fact that with usury present in all prices, the poor and all those unable to cope in such a system due to physical disability or mental deficiency are victims of the system along with the willing dupes who must pay nearly half their earnings to fund this morally bankrupt system. Many, who are mentally deficient have no advocate to assist them in securing a lifeline with government subsidies, wind up living in cardboard boxes, vacant homes or abandoned automobiles in blighted areas without heat and without running water.
You see, when the LORD gave His laws to Moses, He said there should be no poor in the land. In Leviticus chapter 25 He commanded that the people should not be oppressed. That is why all debt was released every seventh year, no usury was allowed nationally and no property taxes existed. The perfect law of love, God’s love, was present 3,500 years ago in the Mosaic Law.
These are reasons enough for me to declare and predict the downfall of usury capitalism or any system that does not incorporate God’s laws into its foundation. Anyone who teaches that love and living by the fruits of the Spirit are the whole extent of what is is necessary to be followers of Jesus Christ is a pied piper leading others to their own demise because they ignore that the rest of the Bible actually teaches us how this can be accomplished specifically. The New Testament is replete with directives from several different authors that we must observe all things whatsoever the LORD has commanded us. A simple deduction from this for the reasonably intelligent is that God is not only a God of love, but also of justice, judgment and mercy - yes mercy - else the pied pipers and the wicked would have no recourse whereby they could repent.

We have all doomed our national existence to the scrap bin of history from ignoring monetary issues as a critical aspect of our laws, both in civil affairs and in the churches. We are responsible for the untold millions of human lives lost in wars that never should have been waged because we have allowed a class of money lovers to emerge at the top of our social structure as parasites. These vultures live off of the carnage that exists and the waste of resources that occurs in the prosecution of these wars. How will we stand before the LORD when He tells us it was our own fault for ignoring His laws? Ignoring doctrine and dogma is therefore as destructive as heresy and circular thinking.

Stop Wasting Time!
Make Deuteronomy 15 our Banner and Manifesto
By Michael Hoffman
www.revisionisthistory.org
The only relief for a debt-racked and ruined world: the implementation of Biblical Law
In our daily Scripture reading, let us give our meditation time to God's Law on the Sabbatical Year of Release from Debt; giving thought to contemplating what our debt-racked and ruined western society would be like if we obeyed God's Law in Deuteronomy 15: 1-10.
Right wing capitalists spiritualize this divine law in antinomian fashion, while rabbis nullify it. Meanwhile, agnostics, atheists and many other modern people sneer at most anything written in the Old Testament, as a "troglodyte relic" from a "barbaric past." Behind these operations of error will be found the Spirit of Lies -- a spirit determined to misdirect seekers after justice from the only remedy that can possibly overthrow the Money Power and the rotten governments and churches that cooperate with it.
Of Christian believers we ask, if the sabbath rest every seven days on the Lord's Day signifies anything to you, how then can you ignore God's sabbath release from debt every seven years? How can the two sabbaths be separated, one to be observed and the other tossed aside?
God did not intend that "His True Israel" (the authentic followers of Jesus the Messiah of Israel), should be reduced to extreme penury, as many are today (Deuteronomy 15:4). God did not intend that we should be in bondage to bankers and "respectable" shylocks who approach the Table of the Lord to partake of His body and blood with mortal sin on their souls and the consent of priests and ministers who are as much implicated in the usury traffic as the sacrilegious defilers who, without shame, present themselves for holy communion.
Mark this: we will get nowhere, and the demons of avarice, delusion, criminal politics, violence against the innocent and homosexual "matrimony" will triumph over us, until such time as we confront the love of money that is the root of the Money Power, by demanding the Sabbatical Year of Release, and the reinstatement of God's law on the condemnation of all interest on loans of money. Anything less than to work for the preceding is doomed to failure -- a complete waste of time, effort and resources.
Be forewarned: on Judgment Day we will be called to give an account of the time and resources God blessed us with in this life. Did we Redeem the Time according to His Will, or were we seduced by pied pipers according to the will of men, pursuing their endless, dead-end palliatives masked as religion, or political struggle? How can there be true religion without obedience to the Word of God? How can we ever elect worthy men and women to high office by compromising what God has commanded of us?
On the day we unite to proceed on sure and certain Scriptural lines of advancement, God Almighty will put strength in our arms. Cry unto the Lord against the hard-hearted (Deut. 15:9).
God's Eternal Law on Debt
At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts.
This is how it is to be done: every creditor shall cancel any loan they have made to a fellow Israelite. They shall not require payment from anyone among their own people, because the Lord’s time for canceling debts has been proclaimed.
You may require payment from an alien, but you must cancel any debt your fellow Israelite owes you.
There need be no poor people among you, for in the land the Lord your God is giving you to possess as your inheritance, he will richly bless you, if only you fully obey the Lord your God and are careful to follow all these commands I am giving you today.
For the Lord your God will bless you as he has promised, and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. You will rule over many nations but none will rule over you.
If anyone is poor among your fellow Israelites in any of the towns of the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not be hard-hearted or tight-fisted toward them. Rather, be open-handed and freely lend them whatever they need.
Be careful not to harbor this wicked thought: “The seventh year, the year for canceling debts, is near;” do not show ill will toward the needy among your fellow Israelites and give them nothing. They will cry to the Lord against you, and you will be found guilty of sin.
Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to.
Deuteronomy XV: I - X

BREAKTHROUGH: Many thanks are due to the American Free Press (AFP) newspaper for purchasing a quantity of our book, Usury in Christendom, for sale to their readers through the paper's AFP Bookstore. This national, weekly newspaper is based in Washington D.C. It describes itself as "Populist and Independent - Not Republican or Democrat." AFP has been a consistent voice for peace and an "America First" foreign policy. The paper's ideological mentor is populist elder statesman Willis Carto, founder of the Institute for Historical Review. To subscribe to American Free Press or request a sample copy, call toll free 888-699-6397, or visit www.americanfreepress.net
AFFIRMATION: John Noonan is the author of the pioneering 1957 book, The Scholastic Analysis of Usury, which was the first history of usury to forthrightly document the fact that the Renaissance Church of Rome, which bears the name Catholic, radically altered the Sacred Deposit of Faith when it overthrew the Catholic dogma on what constitutes usury. We have substantial disagreements with Judge Noonan on several contentions in his book; but nonetheless, his work blazed the trail for our own research. The 87-year-old Noonan still affirms what had always been known and taught until the Renaissance revolutionaries seized control of the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century -- usury is any interest on loans of money; period. The Judge Noonan interview is online here.
PROMO: A blurb from Christian blogger Glen Canaday, promotes the video of our impromptu lecture on usury given in a private home in Idaho, which we offer free of charge as a public service, on YouTube. To read what Mr. Canaday has to say, click here.
RADIO UPDATE: Our radio program "On the Contrary" is temporarily suspended while we attempt to raise funds for the goals we outlined in our Lenten Appeal for Alms, six of which remain unfulfilled (two of which are immediately pressing: the need to relocate our office to secure rented quarters, or quarters we could own; and the need to pay a decent wage to the lady who has loyally managed our office and ships our materials safely, securely and competently). When the need for funds arises and there are no other sources of income, we return to our vocation of scholar-bookseller -- offering investment-grade rare books to bibliophiles, collectors, and investors who want to do something with their funds other than have them collect usury-interest. The hunt for rare books is a time-consuming task which has much engaged us of late. We will resume our radio program as time and funds permit. Thanks to the listeners who have expressed encouragement and appreciation for the initial broadcast.
