"When goods are exchanged between countries, they
must be paid for by commodities or gold. They cannot be paid for by the notes,
certificates, and checks of the purchaser's country, since these are of value
only in the country of issue." - Carroll Quigley Philip Danforth Armour is a member of the Board of
Trade which controls the price of pork, bacon,
beef, wheat and grain.
Dealing in futures on the Board of Trade
is a system originated for the purpose of enabling those with immense wealth to
force stocks up or down without any regard to the actual value for monopolistic
Through their control of the Boards of Trade and their
monopoly of the traffic in farming products they put down the price of farming
products until it was impossible for
the farmers to pay off the mortgages.

This followed the observation that seed wheat salvaged from
the sea was free of bunt.
"A few men buy all the wheat
of the country.
There is no competition; the railroads fix the
price of wheat and grains to suit themselves, and grind the farmer down into
They not only plunder
the farmer in the price, but they cheat in the measurement which fixes the
quality of the wheat.
Several years ago, #1 wheat was 90 cents a
bushel, #2 75 cents, and #3, 60 cents a bushel .
The wheat was so
graded by the buyers, that all wheat weighing 60 lbs. and over to the bushel
was rated #1 ; all wheat weighing 56 lbs. and over, #2; and all wheat weighing
52 lbs. and over #3.
If the wheat were measured in the good old
fashioned way in an honest half bushel
measure, most of the wheat would weigh 60 lbs. to the bushel, and be rated as
These monopolists cheat systematically in the measure.

Into such a small measure the wheat will not pack close, when
poured very gently out of a pitcher into it.
They then weigh the gallon
and multiply by 8 to find the
weight of a bushel.
By this system of measurement little of the
wheat rates as #1; and very much of it is rated as #3.
In this way,
when #1 wheat was selling at 90 cents a bushel, this system of measuring caused
much of it to be rated as #3, which brought only 60 cents a bushel .
When the wheat is sold out of the elevators, where it was under
pressure, all of it would weigh 60 lbs. to the bushel, and be sold as #1!" - LB

have capital enough to make their operations a sure success under the rules of
the Chicago Board of Trade, which only allows wheat to be sold as it is
delivered into the elevator.
The Chicago Board of Trade then rescinds
the rule which prohibited the sale of wheat except as delivered into the
elevators and allows it to be sold out of the rail cars.
Board of Trade sold the Cincinnati syndicate wheat at seventy cents a
bushel, till their $12,000,000 was gone.
Once the money was gone
the price of wheat went to sixty cents a bushel !
As the wheat
crop was fifty million bushels short and the
supply was inadequate
to meet the demand it was expected that wheat would have gone up to at
least one dollar a bushel !
"Boards of Trade are instruments
controlled at will by the Money
The law of supply and
demand is wholly abrogated as the will of the money power has become the
sole regulator of prices.
The law of supply and demand can only
regulate prices when there is a free market, and the free
competition of buyers and sellers operates to regulate prices.

By the might of capital, they can regulate prices in any
Board of Trade.
The money power controls absolutely the Chicago Board
of Trade, and Chicago regulates the price of produce for the whole country in
utter disregard of the law of supply and
demand, and in utter violation of all the
economic laws that regulate prices." - L.B. Woolfolk
The high price
of flour in comparison with wheat reveals agents of the money power have a
large number of flour mills
in their possession.
The occasional sharp falls in the flour market,
crushing mill owners of small capital, and the purchase of the
flour mills in Minneapolis shows their desire to
crush all competitors and get possession of the entire business.
"I traveled widely through Missouri, and everywhere I found statements that
two-thirds to three-fourths of the farm are under mortgage!
In Iowa, the
same state of fact exists.
In some counties of that state, where farm
used to sell for twenty-five dollars per acre, the farm were mortgaged for
one-third of their value; and after a number of
farms were bought in by the mortgagee
for eight dollars an acre, the amount of the mortgage, all the lands receded to
In Kansas, a very large proportion of the
farms are mortgaged - a much larger
proportion than in Iowa or Missouri.
A banker said to me, "The money
line of these Land Loan Companies always has three points: the agent in the
West, who loans the money; the intermediary in the East, from whom he gets it;
but the third point in the line is always London.
There is where the
money comes from."
Thus, a little bank in Connecticut can loan millions
of dollars every year, when it is only making in its regular business some
twenty thousand dollars a year.
About two-thirds of the farm of the
states of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa,
Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas were mortgaged by 1890 for one-third of their
value, on five years time." - LB Woolfolk

"We are authorizing our loan officers from the Western
States to loan on properties, monies repayable by September 1st, 1894.
No fatal date is to exceed this date.

On that day, we shall

foreclosure on collaterals.
The mortgaged properties will become ours.
We'll thus be able to

Mississippi and thousands more east of this great river.
We'll even be

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their philosophical ideology.
This web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of
the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion
based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no
supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is
encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer
through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the
spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior
corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction
of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to
the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction
and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
