How the Jews Betrayed Mankind

Volume I, Te Sumerian Swindle

(5,000 BC to 1500 BC)

Introduction

“In the beginning were the Jews.” At least, thisis how the Jews would write the history o Mankindi they could get away with it. But in act, in thebeginning, there were no Jews. Te lies that they wrote

about themselves in the Old estament are just that –lies. Here is the real story o How the Jews BetrayedMankind.

By making grandiose claims that give themselves value when no value is actually there, those evilcreatures known as rabbis will tell you that the Jewsare a unique people blessed above all other people bythe mightiest god o the entire Universe. Tis god hassanctified them above all other people because they are

so wonderul. But this claim cannot stand even whencasually inspected.Unique with their very own history, aloo rom

all outsiders, concentrating their energies on theglorification o their god, untouched by the crassnesso the goyim around them as they strive or holinessand perection – these are some o the attributesthat the rabbis would like you to believe about themeven though none o it is true. Tey would like youto believe that among men, the Jews are as rare andunique as a virgin mother. But are the Jews really

unique or do they only tell you that they are? Aferall, it costs nothing to brag about yoursel. And isel-congratulation brings you prestige, wealth andinfluence – all or the price o hot air and flapping lips– well, then, who has more hot air and flapping lipsthan a sel-gloriying rabbi?

Regardless o what the Jews say, when you inspectthe actual merchandise, you will find that the sparklingJews are only made o glass. Tis is why the Jews areso allergic to criticism because their lies are so easily

broken. By claiming that they are unique, the Jews canmore easily avoid the obvious observation that theyare exactly like any other secretive groups that haveplagued Mankind. Tey are not unique like shiningsaints but, rather, they are unique like carnival barkersand con artists who claim to be more than they are, just so that they can deceive you and relieve you o

your money.Part o the reason that the People o the world

have difficulty in understanding what scoundrels theJews are, is because most people don’t have the usualreerence points or contrast. Te Jews encourage thisblindness by parroting their old lie that “we Jews area unique people unlike any other.” Te Jews pretendto be God’s Chosen Saints while simultaneouslycommitting all manner o crimes and atrocities againstHumanity. Ordinary people cannot discern the depthso the raud simply because the distance between the

actual acts o Jewish criminality and the sel-glorifiedmyth o Jewish holiness is so great – the distancebetween the reality and the lie is so great – that itboggles the mind. Little crooks are understandable butbig crooks are difficult to athom.

Ordinary people (whom the Jews call “goyim”which means “non-Jew animals and insects”) cannotimagine that entire amilies and an entire nation obetrayers and swindlers could possibly exist. Yes,single and small groups o robbers are understandable

to the average person. But an entire nation o thievesand liars is too much or the ordinary person tocomprehend. And so, because we cannot comprehendit, we do not believe that such an organized andpredatory cult does exist. As a result, the Jews getaway with their crimes and the People end up beingswindled and betrayed, impoverished, derauded andmurdered by hucksters wearing yarmulkes.

So that you will have open eyes beore entering intothe actual history o the Betrayers o Mankind, I willfirst show you some similarities o the Jews to another


7/2637

criminal conspiracy that had plagued Mankindundetected or many centuries. Afer all, to prove thatthe Jews are not as unique as they claim to be, it isnecessary to first show their similarity to other people.So, i the Jews are not unique, then to whom are theysimilar?

It is important first to get these general backgroundideas firmly in mind as you study this history o the

Jews because we are dealing here with hundredsand thousands o years in time. And during thislong time, entire amilies and clans and towns ull oJewish parents have been teaching their children theircriminal skills and passing this conspiratorial lore andsubteruge along through countless generations oJewish thieves and murderers.

Tis is an historical act that you must keep inmind as you read this book – consecutive generationso crime amilies have existed and they presently do

exist while they protect their secrets and transmit theirschemes through many subsequent generations oathers and sons, mothers and daughters. And so, toprove that the Jews are criminals and rauds and liarsand deceivers and murderers, it is necessary to firstshow that they are not a unique variation in humanhistory. In act, they are very similar to the Mafiacrime amilies ound in Italy and in America today andespecially similar to the Tuggees o Old India. Suchhistoric crime organizations as the Italian Mafia andthe Tuggees o Old India have identical characteristics

with the Jews o today as you will soon see or yoursel.

Chapter 1Mafia, Tugs and Jews

For several hundred years in India, a similar people tothe Jews used to live in amily and clan villages. Andthey made their living as murderers and thieves. Teycalled themselves Tugs or Tuggees. Te Tugees oIndia were a secret society whose so-called “religion”was based upon murder and thef. Tey lived amongtheir ellow Indians as rug weavers and artisans. olook at them, their ellow Indians could not tell thatthey were any different rom themselves. Tey spokethe same language, wore the same clothes and ate thesame ood. But the Tugees worshipped the Hindudemon goddess, Kali. It was the Tugee belie that thisdemon goddess demanded that victims be sacrificed toher without shedding their blood – that is, the victimsmust first be strangled.

For one month every year, during the travel seasonin India when the weather was good and therewere many travelers and pilgrims on the roads, theTugees would make some excuse to their employersand acquaintances and take a leave o absence romtheir regular occupations as merchants or weavers orrestaurateurs or armers. Saying that they had to go toa distant wedding or to visit an ailing relative or using

whatever excuse that they could invent, they wouldleave their villages and go to meet other Tugees ora month o murder and thef, all devoted to theirgoddess Kali whom they believed would welcomethem into the Hereafer.Known among themselves as “masters o deceit”,the Tugees beriended rich travelers to whom theyperfidiously offered their services as protectors andguides. But once they were in an out-o-the-waylocation, they would all upon the travelers and

strangle them. Tis was the one and the only methodo murder decreed by their demon goddess, to strangletheir victims, never to knie or bludgeon them.As they tightened the garrote around the neck otheir victims, they whispered into their ears, “See, ohKali! Look, oh Kali!”, calling their goddess to witnessthe crime. Ten, the Tugs stole all o their victim’spossessions, mangled their aces so that they couldnever be identified and buried them deeply so thatthey could never be ound. Teir victims simplydisappeared into the mystery o India. And when the

travel season was over, the Tugees would return totheir home villages with their newly acquired wealthand continue their lives as rug weavers and merchants,though richer than they had been beore.Te religious belies o the Tuggees was that they werethe servants o their goddess. And just like the Jews,they served their deity by preying upon the peopleamong whom they lived. And just like the Jews, theirsecret raternity had their own secret language, secretmeetings and secret rituals. Indeed, because o thecriminal nature o their practices, just like the Jews,they kept their actions hidden rom outsiders. And just like the Jews, without practicing secrecy and deceitthey could not have perpetuated their wicked ways orso many centuries.

Regardless o their alleged “religion” o Kaliworship, the Tugees knew that i they were caughtin their crimes, that they would be punished. So, likeall other criminal gangs, everything that they didwas plagued with the ear o discovery and exposure.Everything that they did was masked with deceit and


8/2638

the utmost secrecy. In these ways, they were not at alldifferent rom the Jews.

India is home to many diverse religions. AndHinduism is very tolerant o all o them. Even thoughthe Indian people and Hinduism in general areaccepting o all manner o religious activities andbelies, no one in India would have accepted amongthemselves a secret group o murderers whose religious

practice was to stealthily murder everyone whomthey met and to steal their wealth. So, to practice theirso-called “religion” without being executed or theircrimes, secrecy and deceit were their most importanttactics. When they murdered people who weretraveling in large groups, they murdered everyone inthe entire group and lef no one alive as witness.

As organized gangs, during the three hundredyears o known history o this Tugee cult, it has beenestimated that the Tugees murdered between one

million and three million people in India, stole theirbelongings and buried their corpses. Tese millions oIndian people simply disappeared, never to be heardo again. Ten the Tugees would return to their villages and lead lives o simple olks who ofen hadextra money to help their ellow villagers and thus gainprestige or themselves – just like the Jews.

Each and every year, this same routine wasrepeated as the secrets o the Tugees were passeddown to sons and passed down to grandsons withoutthe people o India ever having heard o this cult –

such was their secrecy. Tat the Tugees o India didnot last or even longer than three hundred yearswas strictly due to the perseverance o the British inrooting them out. And the man who was primarilyresponsible or exterminating the Tuggees rom Indiain the early 1800’s was Major General Sir WilliamHenry Sleeman. Read a first-hand account o this greatBritish hero’s description o the Tugs o India in thewords o his biographer and great-grandson, ColonelJames L. Sleeman in Appendix A. And rememberthat his description is o just one, sweet-looking oldIndian man. As you read his words, realize that we arestudying here another equally diabolical sect that is notat all unique but, rather, is very similar to the Tugs.

Because these Tugees were an hereditaryconspiracy, Major General Sleeman was able toextinguish these crime amilies by executing andimprisoning the athers and imprisoning or lie thesons. Tus, no Tugees were allowed to pass their evilteachings down to succeeding generations. And so,Tugee vanished rom India, thanks to the British.

Once you understand that crime amilies and theirteachings are both hereditary and cultural, whetherinherited rom Mafia amilies or Tugee amilies, youare ready to study the origins o the most secretivesect o murderous anatics that have ever walked theearth. Like the Tugees, these also hide behind a masko religion. In modern times, these evil monsters areknown as Jews.

Chapter 2

Te Land of Mesopotamia,Cradle of Civilization

oday, you might think that there is somethingnew under the scorching, desert sun o Iraq. Te drysoil is being blown into dust by the bombs o F-16fighter jets. Huge tracts o the dry and ertile soil,groves o date palms, the flowing water o the igrisand Euphrates Rivers and the towns and villages arebeing poisoned with depleted uranium ordinance


9/2639

while pilotless robot killer drones fly high overhead,being piloted via satellite rom hal a world away. So,you might think that there is something new in the14,000-year history o Mesopotamia, but you would bewrong. O course, the tools or killing and the methodso destruction and genocide are more advanced today,but the land is just the same and the people are just thesame as they were in 12,000 BC.

Ancient Mesopotamia was located in what is todaythe modern country o Iraq. Te wars that are tearingthat land apart today are really being ought over thesame reasons that wars were ought in Mesopotamiaat the dawn o civilization. Te actors and the toolsand the war machines are different, but the reasons orbloodshed are the same. Te sun, the wind, the water,the mud and the stars are all the same. Te greed and

the evil in the hearts o ruthless men, are just the sameTe corruption o the political leaders and the avariceo the moneylenders is just the same as it has alwaysbeen. Te only difference is ound in this book that youare reading.

Although over 5,000 years have passed since theSumerians first began what has become our moderncivilization, the geography and weather o modern

Iraq is nearly identical to what it was during thoseearlier times. Te climate is extremely hot and dry.emperatures in central and southern Iraq can reach120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius). Te soil isarid and wind swept. Mostly the land is rather flat withlow, undulating mounds and hillocks. In the courseo millions o years, the igris and Euphrates Rivershave meandered throughout the Mesopotamian Basin,


10/26310

uncovering and re-depositing the clay and silt soils othe region and producing a river-made land o mud,clay and silt with almost no stone and no minerals. It isa land o dust and dirt and mud and hot sun.

Tere were no trees in ancient Mesopotamia butthere were giant reeds around the rivers and in thesouthern marshes. What geological variety there wasin the somewhat flat landscape consisted o desert,

oothills, steppes and marshes with no rainall in thesummer months. Te higher elevation steppe lands inthose ancient times were grasslands, almost treelesswith an average rainall o ten inches. In the oothills,oak, pine, terebinth trees, grasses, wild barley and wildwheat could grow.Te flood seasono the igris andEuphrates Riversis between April

and June, whichis too early orwinter crops andnot long enoughor summercrops.

So, byappearances,you would atfirst think thatsuch a desolate

place could notpossibly producethe world’s firstcivilization. ButMesopotamia iswhere civilizationbegan. And it was a civilization that grew up out o thewater, the mud and the hot, scorching sun. [1]

As the Ice Age was ending, the hunter-gathererpeople o 12,000 BC learned that they could make aliving by gathering the seeds o the wild grasses thatgrew throughout the region. What ew people therewere in the world at that time, lived in open air campsor in caves or in huts built o reeds. As hunters, theyhad ound a good companion with another hunter, thewolves. Tese became the first domesticated animalby 11,000 BC. And the dog has been Man’s best riendever since those Stone Age times.

By about 9,000 BC, the people had learned how tomake mud bricks. Tey developed weaving and crafspecializations. Tey carried on long-distance trade

in obsidian and copper. As hunters who had killedthe adult nannies and who had raised and tamed thekids, they were able to domesticate the goat by 8500BC. With milk goats, these Stone Age people didn’thave to go hungry rom scarce game because, by thattime, they could use their hunting skills in protectingtheir herds rom predators. By 8000 BC, they had alsodomesticated the sheep which provided them with

woolen clothes as well as meat.As the Ice Age retreated and the weather warmed,

all across the the grassy hills o the Ancient NearEast, the people discovered that i they could gatherand store enough grass seeds that they didn’t have to

wander aboutwith theirgoats andsheep butcould stay in

one locationwhere thewild grassesprovided oodboth or themas well astheir flocks.Tese grassesgrew in suchabundancethat even a

single personworking ortwo weekswith anobsidianblade could

harvest enough to eed a amily o our or a year.When an entire amily or a village cooperated withsuch a harvest, there was plenty o ood or everybody.Because grain does not decay i it is kept dry, it canlast or decades. A reliable ood supply allowed orthe establishment o permanent camps, allowing thewandering hunter-gatherers to settle down into villageswhere, by 7500 BC, they domesticated the wild pig. By7000 BC, cattle and the always useul rodent-catchingcat were domesticated. And they discovered how tomake pottery or cooking and or storing grain awayrom insects and rodents.

All o the peoples living throughout this entireFertile Crescent region, stretching in an arch romthe Mediterranean Sea to the Persian Gul, gathered


11/26311

these wild grasses. Tese grasses sustained a scatteringo small, permanent villages or 3,000 years o smallarming. But it was in the land between the two riverso the Euphrates and igris Rivers with their copiousand reliable water supplies that arming was able toblossom into the oundation or civilized lie.

Te long mountain chain that dividesMesopotamia rom Persia, the rich valley o the wo

Rivers rom the sand desert, is broken down at itssouthern end by the watershed o the Karun River.Here is Elam (the “East”), an alluvial plain closed inon all sides except the western where it is open toMesopotamia and the Persian Gul. It is geographicallya part oMesopotamiarather than oPersia.

Te vast

deposits o siltcarried downby the Karunriver romElam, ormeda bar acrossthe upper endo the PersianGul whichheld up theflood waters o

the igris andEuphrates sothat their siltwas depositedagainst thebar insteado being swept out to sea. With the slackened currentmuch silt was dropped higher up and gradually filledin the marshes, orming dry land through which theEuphrates cut its bed. Also flowing into this deltaregion in ancient times, but now dried up, was a ourthriver out o Arabia which created the area known to usas Eden, the land o the our rivers.

Te sedimentary soil rom these rivers wasimmensely ertile, and invited settlement. But rich asthe soil was, and easy as was the tillage, yet to profit byits richness required much labor on a large scale. It wasnot a land in which the isolated armer could prosper.Te seed had, o course, to be sown in winter; and inspring, just as the young grain sprouted, the river camedown in flood, overran and scoured out the fields and

destroyed all hopes o harvest. Te river had to be keptin check by artificial banks. Te land, i it was to yielda second crop, had to be irrigated by canals. Te needwas obvious, but the task was beyond the powers oany one landowner. [2]

o grow grain in the dry soils o southernMesopotamia, the armers dug ditches to carry waterrom the rivers to the dry fields. Tis soil, this river-

made soil, once it was irrigated, proved to be veryertile and it produced tremendous crops beneath thebright sun. With plenty o ood, with mud bricks orbuilding their homes and clay pottery or cooking andstoring their oods, civilization began in southern Iraq

– all based uponwater, dirt, sun,grain and intensephysical labor.

We call these

earliest peoplein Mesopotamia“Ubaidians”afer ell alUbaid wheretheir pottery wasfirst discoveredby modernarcheologists.Although theywere Stone Age

people, usingflint and obsidianand bone andwood or theirtools, the modernreader should

not look down upon these ancient people with distain.All o these ancient people were o the same species oHomo Sapiens as we are, ourselves. So, it is importantto remember that they had the same eelings, the samelove or their children, the same social ambitions andthe same intelligence that we have in our own modernlives. O course, they did not have the same knowledgeand understanding about the world around themor the same educational level as we do. Tey wereless knowledgeable than we are but they were just asintelligent. Indeed, the knowledge that we, ourselves,have today is built upon the very knowledge that thoseearly people developed. So, we should look upon thoseancient people more as our very own great-great-great-grandparents rather than as some distant and dusty


12/26312

barbarians to whom we owe nothing.Tat being said, you will find it profitable to keep

the humanity o these people in mind during thisstudy so that you can better understand the themeo this book. What we call “modern civilization” isa direct result o what those early people invented.Even the oundation or the very words that you arenow reading were developed by the inhabitants o

Mesopotamia when they invented writing over 5,000years ago.

At 9,000 BC, as the last o the Ice Age wasdisappearing, the Udaidians went about their lives osowing and reaping grainsand domesticating animals.Tey lef behind or us todig up and to wonder about,tools such as hoes, obsidianadzes and knives, sickles,

mud bricks and bakedbricks, spindle whorls, loomweights, sculpture, paintedpottery and the plow. Teymarked their possessionswith clay stamps andcylinder seals. But they alsobuilt canals and irrigationditches and dedicatedlarge mud-brick templesto their gods. And or such

architecture, calculationskills in arithmetic wererequired as well as a basicknowledge o geometry.Tey used water clocks –clay bowls with a small holein the bottom, which werefloated in a basin o waterso that they could marktime by how long it took orthe bowl to sink. With theseclocks, their village chiesand town governors wereable to regulate the amounto irrigation water each field was allowed.

Although they had no written records, they reliedupon what all o the ancient peoples relied upon and owhich we modern people have limited abilities – theirmemories. With no written records with which tostore inormation about their past, they used the well-developed aculties o their human brains to memorize

the events o the their times and to pass along to theirchildren the stories o their past. Tey began theirstories by claiming that all o their civilization got itsstart at the town o Eridu in the southern part o thecountry. And these stories were passed along to thepeople who came afer the Ubaidians.

It is important or you to identiy with thoseancient people as ellow humans so that you can

ully understand the theme o this present history.Tey were just as human in every way as you are. Intheir clay sculptures we can see how the Ubaidianssaw themselves. And it is here that I want you to

understand some secrets thatthe archeologists and scientistshave overlooked – the realhumanity o those ancientpeople. You must not look attheir sculptures in the same

way as do the archeologistswho egotistically considerthemselves more modernand thereore more advancedin their own humanity. Bydoing so, the scientists blindthemselves to the advancedknowledge o those ancientpeople.

It is ofen remarkedhow reptilian and alien the

Ubaidian sculptures are. [seeFigure 1] And it is difficult orthe archeologists (or almostanybody else) to imaginehow a people could look soextra-terrestrial and odd. Butthis is because the modernscientists do not perceivethose ancient people throughhuman eyes but only throughcold scientific lenses. Teylook only at the hard data andorget that the cold potteryand clay sculptures reflect

the workmanship o living people who, although theycould not read or write their ideas, could sculpt them.

o understand the secret knowledge that theUbaidian sculptors were expressing, you need onlyto ask yoursel the question: “Who am I?” or thequestion: “What am I?” And then, try to make asculpture o yoursel or o your riends or amily in


13/26313

answer to that question. Tis is what the Ubaidiansculptors did. And this is why their eatures look soodd because what they were showing was not just theirouter appearance but their inner Being. In this respect,they were expressing something ar in advance o whatmost modern people understand about themselves. Inthose sculptures, they were expressing their true selves.

Certainly, the Ubaidians did not look into mirrors,

because there were no mirrors other than pools ostanding water. Tey knew what they looked likereflected in water so their sculptures o themselveswere expressing something other than that. Tey werenot ooled in the same way that modern people areooled by the sharp and reverse image o themselveslooking back rom a mirrored glass. Most modernpeople think that what they see in a mirror, is areflection o their true selves. But they are wrong. In amirror, you are only looking at the reverse reflection

o your outside appearance and not your inner being.Can you deny that you exist inside o yoursel as wellas outside o yoursel? Isn’t there something inside oyou that makes you a Human Being? You cannot seeyour inner sel in a mirror. For that, you must closeand squint your eyes in order to perceive yoursel onthe inside! o see your alse sel in a mirror, you mustopen your eyes; to see your rue Sel within, you mustclose your eyes.

o understand these Ubaidian sculptures, and toactually see one o these people with your very own

eyes, you must see what they saw. Ask yoursel thequestion, “Who am I?” and then breathe gently andlook out rom your eyes. But do not look out too ar,rather look through just the slits o your eyes so asto view yoursel in the living act o looking outward.Breathe gently and lower your eyelids. Ask yoursel,“Who am I?” and close your eyes slightly into slits andbreathe gently and look within yoursel at how yourace is shaped on the inside, at how your nose breatheslie rom the inside, at how you can see and eel whatyou are like on the inside. And why? Because this is theliving spirit o you looking out rom the inside. Tis isnot the same as looking at a cold and distant reflectedimage o yoursel in a mirror.

And so, the view that the ancient Ubaidians had othemselves is true while the view that modern peoplehave o themselves is alse. How can you say thatyou are superior to the Ancient People i your viewsare alse? And now you know what they looked likereflected in yoursel. Tis is the meaning o the claymodels that the Ubaidians made o themselves. Tey

were then as you are now, a living Being looking outthrough hal-closed eyes.

Tis view o themselves as sel-containedspirits within a mortal shell may have affectedtheir selfishness. People who think in terms o onlythemselves, are not very empathetic to the lives otheir ellows. Te slit-eyed, reptilian statues that theUbaidians lef o themselves not only reflected their

inner awareness o Sel but also an unconcern or howthey were perceived by others. And this selfishnesswas passed along to the Sumerians who inherited theUbaidian Culture.

As the Ubaidians grew in numbers through thesuccess o their agricultural efforts, they began toorganize themselves around their priests and temples.Te ancient peoples looked to their priests orguidance and ALL o the ancient peoples believed inmany gods. Tis is important to remember: ALL o the

ancient peoples believed in the gods. Tere were noatheists in ancient times. Tere were no Communists,Jews, Humanists or Feminists telling them that theywere nothing but animals. Tere were no scientiststelling them that they were nothing but monkeysdescended rom more primitive monkeys. Teywouldn’t have believed such ables because they weresmarter than that.

You can understand these ancient people i youthink like a child in awe o Creation. For example,that hot, yellow, blinding disk that rises and sets

everyday and lights up and heats the entire world! Howantastic! But what is it? What could it be? When theclouds partly cover it, it looks like a great bright wheelthat rolls across the sky. Or maybe it is a great eye inthe sky looking down upon Mankind. And o course,the world was flat because you could see that it waslaid out as a vast plain with mountains and rivers anda great starry sky ull o twinkling, shining gods thatcircled about overhead. O course the stars circled theearth because you could see them move, yoursel! Andthe earth was solid and immovable because you couldeel it under your eet as such. And that cool, whitemoon that rises and sets in the night sky! What is it? Agoddess?

O course, the Ancient Ones had no telescopes totell them that the moon is a rocky sphere orbiting inspace or that the sun is a ball o nuclear gasses. But iyou look at the world as they saw it, you will see thatthe bright thing that waxes and wanes in the night skyresembles a disk. Te disk changes into horns like ona cow. Or perhaps it looks more like a reed boat in the


14/26314

sky. And o course, that great sea o stars is a MilkyWay highway, a path through the sky that leads off intodistant lands where the gods live and where Mankindwill someday journey.

Or clouds and rainbows! Birds and beasts! Riversand oceans! Rain and wind and lightning and thunder!Look again, O Modern Man! Look at all o the naturalphenomenon that we modern people take or granted!

Look at Nature again with innocent eyes! All o thesethings are still just as resh and ull o wonder as theywere 12,000 years ago. Te only thing that has changedis the dulling o perceptive astuteness o the peopletoday who consider themselves superior to the AncientOnes who built the very oundations o our own worldculture.

o understand those ancient people, you mustempty your mind o modern theories and look at theworld around you with the mind o child. A child

knows nothing but is willing to see and hear and learneverything. Only then can you understand what theancient people knew and what the ancient people arestill trying to tell us i we will only listen. Te AncientOnes have secrets to tell us but most o us are tooarrogant in our knowledge and conceited in our wealthto listen to the dusty past. In this book, I will tell yousome o those long lost secrets that have not been toldsince the world was young.

Te Ubaidians lived in Iraq or nearly 5,000years beore they learned how to read and write. Can

you imagine? Five thousand years o a unctioningculture but not one person knowing how to readand write! And yet they built cities, monumentalarchitecture, city walls, invented the wheel andagriculture, invented cylinder seals, and by 4,000 BCthey were experimenting with the very beginningso writing. Also, they invented something else thatwould be passed along to the next wave o peopleentering Mesopotamia. Tey invented the basics o theSumerian Swindle which came into ull flower uponthe arrival o the Sumerians around 3200 BC.

Te Sumerian Swindle was so secret that not eventoday’s scientists and modern scholars have beenable to understand its workings. Troughout history,this ancient weapon has destroyed entire countries,snuffed out the lives o hundreds o millions o peopleworldwide, created starvation, disease, warare andecological doom, with ew people learning the truecause o these disasters. Te Sumerian Swindle actuallyhas the power to destroy the world.

So really, do you think the ancient people

were so dumb i we modern people and even ourgreatest scientists still cannot understand whatthey accomplished? Better think again and askyoursel, “How smart are our modern scientists andphilosophers today, i they don’t understand even thesimplest inventions o Antiquity? How smart are ourpolitical and religious leaders i the inventions o 5,000BC are too complicated or them?”

You should have some respect or the intellectualachievements o Ancient Man because his inventionshave not only shaped our modern world but thosesame inventions also threaten to destroy it. I am notreerring to destroying the world with nuclear bombsor genetically modified germs. I am reerring todestroying the world with the ancient mechanism othe Sumerian Swindle.

You readers who are bankers or Jews or other assortedthieves and con artists might want to skip this chaptersince you already know how to betray your countryand deraud your people. But or those o you whodon’t like being enslaved and impoverished, learningsomething about how the Jews do it can save yourhealth, your wealth, your amily, your people and yournation.First, we must understand some basic cogs in themachinery that makes the Sumerian Swindle work. Iam writing down these secrets or the very first timein history so i you didn’t think o them first, yoursel,then perhaps it is because these secrets are too simpleor a modern person to understand. Or, perhaps youhave taken them or granted because they “have alwaysbeen here.”

Te Sumerian Swindle started like this: I you are

on good terms with your next-door neighbor, andyou run short o some flour or eggs in the middle ocooking supper, a neighborly thing to do is to run nextdoor or send your children next door to borrow whatyou need until you can go to the market and restocksupplies. Afer shopping, you will repay your neighboror the borrowed ood. Such borrowing amongneighbors has been going on ever since people beganliving together in groups – that is, or the past ten ortwenty million years. Borrowing and repaying, is a way


15/26315

to build riendships and to sustain society. Borrowingand repaying, is a vital mechanism in every humansociety. But it became corrupted among the Ubaidianso Mesopotamia.

As the people whom we call the Ubaidians firstpracticed irrigated cultivation o crops, somethingabout this natural human relationship changed.Perhaps one neighbor got tired o constantly lending

out grain to another neighbor who was slow to repay.So, it happened that at a certain time, the lendingneighbor agreed to lend out a measure o grain only ithe borrower agreed to repay a measure and a handul;or perhaps a basket o grain was lent out in return ora basket-and-a-hal in repayment; or perhaps, sensingthe reluctance o a neighbor to loan, the borrower,himsel, out o charitable good will and personal need,offered to repay two baskets o grain or one loaned.

Whatever the actual origin o the mechanism,

the Ubaidians evolved a system that we today call,“interest on a loan”. Tis occurred sometime between9,000 and 6,000 BC when they first began buildingtheir permanent mud brick towns and villages. Centralgrain storehouses were a part o every town. And inevery town and village, individual grain storeage spacewas a part o every house. So, when the larder wasempty, borrowing rom a neighbor kept starvationrom the door and promoted riendly relations amongneighbors in a harmonious society o give and take.

But something else occurred in the actual

understanding o this development in the mindso both the borrower and the lender. A borrowerwho repays the loan has nothing lef in his handsto contemplate. But the lender who gains back theloan plus interest has more than he started with tocontemplate. Te poor man is even poorer than hewas and the rich man is richer than he was. Te actualphysical ownership o the grain plus interest enabledthe lender to accumulate an ever-increasing store ogoods. In addition to what he started with, both thereturned loan as well as the interest could be loanedout at interest. And that interest when repaid couldagain be loaned out in a spiraling increase in totalwealth.

Tis was the beginning o the Sumerian Swindle,the charging o simple interest on a loan. wo basketso grain on loan at 50% interest brought back threebaskets. Tese three could again be loaned at 50%interest to bring back our-and-a-hal. Tese our-and-a-hal could again be loaned to bring back sixand three-quarters. In a short time, those original two

baskets produced an additional our and three-quartersbaskets o grain or ree. And so on, and so on, as anincreasing spiral o profits accumulated or ree and ordoing no work other than making loans. As the sizeand number o loans increased, the total wealth o thegrain lender began to increase ar beyond the wealth ohis neighbors.

Ten, a magical and mysterious thing happened.

Once a certain profit point had been reached where thelender was loaning out not his original grain but thegrain that he had previously received as interest, theneverything that he profited rom that point onwardwas wealth given to him or ree. Te grain that hereceived as interest-on-the-loan had cost him nothing.And when he loaned out that same grain at interest,both it and its returning interest were ree grain thathad also cost him nothing. Tis ree grain continuedto multiply over time as it was loaned out again and

again. Huge mountains o grain filling his storeroomsto the rafers began to accumulate, grain that had costhim absolutely nothing more than charging interest-on-a-loan.

In those days, a man’s wealth was measured by howmuch land and grain he had and by how many goatsand sheep that he owned. Very soon, those Ubaidiangrain lenders were enjoying vast ortunes. Tanks tothe arithmetic deception o lending-at-interest, theywere loaning out at interest what they had gotten orree. Eventually, using that ree grain in barter or other

goods, everything that they owned actually had costthem absolutely nothing at all!

Te lender ound that by loaning out a basket ograin, he got back two baskets instead. O course, alight bulb did not go off in his head since it was stillthe Stone Age, seven thousand years beore BenjaminFranklin and Tomas Edison, but certainly the veryfirst loan shark had a major brainstorm! Withoutworking under the hot sun, without lifing a singleload upon his head, without walking a single step, twobaskets o grain were delivered to his door. And theone who delivered the grain was glad to do it since theloan had helped him through a difficult time. Afer all,they were all ellow villagers and all on good relationswith one another. Te hatreds would come much later.

Grain could be bartered or goats, and goats orwoven cloth and boats; and boats and goats and graincould be exchanged or houses and irrigated land, etc.By loaning grain out at interest and using the interest-income to barter or other goods, a clever tradercould leverage his way to more wealth than any o his


16/26316

neighbors even though all o them had started off atthe same level in society. Like the modern bankerswho pile up their swindled wealth into skyscrapers,yachts and Lear Jets, investments in war and corneringthe commodities market, the Ubaidian moneylendersbegan to pile up wealth in grain, silver and land.Whether as an ancient grain dealer or as a modernbanker, they got all o this swindled wealth or ree!

By getting something or nothing simply by charginginterest-on-a-loan, they had discovered Secret Fraud#1 o the Sumerian Swindle: “All interest on the loan omoney is a swindle.”

It might seem odd, but the act is that all o theexcessive wealth o modern day bankers, financiers,loan sharks, Jews, and related swindlers, is based uponnothing more than two baskets o barley creating three.Secret Fraud #1 o the Sumerian Swindle was basedupon what people all over the world had been doing

or millions o years. I one member o a village or tribewas short o supplies, other members would give orloan him what he needed. And when he was able, hewould return the borrowed goods or else return goodso equal value. But to insist that he return more thanhe had borrowed was the swindle.

In all arming communities where drought, insects,fire, rain, flooding and a myriad o woes plaguearmers, there are always armers who need a loan toget through the bad spell. Lending and paying back,borrowing and returning, have always been a part o

normal human society.At first, this normal and natural system was used in

Mesopotamia. I a armer needed a basket o grain orhis amily, he would borrow it rom a neighbor. Andwhen the harvest came in, he would repay what he hadborrowed. Tis was a natural and a balanced exchangesystem; no one profited and no one lost. Yet, the entirecommunity benefited. Goods were distributed in anequitable way which was good and natural and air toeverybody.

However, once a lender asked or more in returnthan what he had lent, an unnatural imbalance wasintroduced into society. No longer were men equal anddependant upon their work or their material rewardsin Lie. Interest-on-a-loan created the inequality othose who became rich without actually working ortheir wealth and those who became poor in spite oincessant labor. In other words, charging interest-on-a-loan automatically created a diseased situation insociety where the rich sucked the lie out o the poor.It created two social classes o financial vampires

living off o the blood and sweat o the permanentlyimpoverished.

Why is lending-at-interest an unnaturalphenomenon? Tat it is unnatural can be seen bylooking at Nature, hersel. Making loans by those who“have” to those who “do not have”, is a natural attributeo all beings who live in social groups. No matter whatcreatures or even what orms o symbiotic animal

or plant lie that you care to study, you will find thatlending and paying back, is one o the characteristicsthat keep societies both strong and prosperous.

Ants and bees create huge societies o individualmembers who make loans to one another as a part otheir daily lie. Indeed, without loans the bee and antcolonies would have died out hundreds o millions oyears ago.

When an ant is hungry, she approaches anothermember o her colony, taps a ew appropriate messages

with her antenna against the antenna o her sister ant,and i this sister ant has ood in her stomach, she willregurgitate a portion and give it to the hungry one toeat. In this manner, enormous amounts o labor andtime are saved since the hungry ant does not have totravel back to the colony or a meal but can approachthe lunch wagon no arther than the nearest worker.Tus, the colony can extend its power over a greaterscavenging area through this mutual system o colony-wide ood distribution and sharing. In many moreways, this loaning o ood between ants gives the entire

colony more power, success and prosperity. Later, afershe has eaten her fill back at the colony ood larder orrom scavenged oods ound in the field, the borrowingant eventually returns ood rom its stomach towhatever hungry sister ant who asks. Te same is trueor bees.

Tus, it can be seen that “loaning” and “borrowing”and “paying back” are all part o animal social groupsthat increase the prosperity and survivability o theentire colony. No individual loses and no individualgains because it is a balanced and a natural system inwhich all members benefit. Not a single one o thosehumble insects ever asks or more than it needs, nordoes it amass or itsel a special hoard o crumbs orhoney stashed in a private and secret hide away thatis a result o taking but o not giving back. Te antsand bees have been making interest-ree loans to oneanother or a billion years and they have thrived associal creatures.

Ancient Man, also, has borrowed and loaned andpaid back. As a result, everybody has benefited and


17/26317

everybody has survived. But Modern Man has beencharging interest-on-loans or the past five thousandyears and we are racked with warare, amine,disease, ecological destruction and many other socialcatastrophes while the at bankers preen themselvesin their luxury chalets and counting houses. Tis is alla result o the Sumerian Swindle. Even a lowly lichenadhering to a rock is a higher and more natural orm

o lie orm than is a moneylender, financier, banker orJew.

Mankind is a social creature who makes loans tohis ellows. Perhaps the hunt or game was not luckyor one amily group so they would share in the roastedgazelle that their neighbor had caught that day. Andwhen they were lucky in the hunt, they would sharetheir resh deer meat with that same neighbor who hadnot been lucky or else share a basket o grain or acornsor berries. In this way, Mankind, as a social creature,

was able to thrive through the power o mutualhelpulness and sharing. Making loans to one anotherand paying back, gave the entire tribe more resiliencyand strength. I one had ood, all had ood. In this way,everybody lived through mutual help and no one diedthrough neglect.

But woe to the greedy or selfish tribe memberswho were anti-social by reusing to share what theyhad! Woe to those who borrowed but did not giveback! Tey became ignored and ostracized. Tey wereknown as “takers.” Tey only took but did not give

back. And i they didn’t get the social message whentheir own wants were rebuffed, then eventually theybecame outcasts and perished alone in the wildernesswith no tribe to sustain them. In this way, naturalselection improved Mankind as a social creature. Likethe ants and bees who shared in mutual prosperity,Mankind was also at One with Nature as he used loansand sharing or greater group strength and solidarity.Love o one’s neighbor was expressed through giving.And through giving and sharing, strong personal andsocial bonds were orged, providing the ancient peoplewith strength against all adversaries.

o ully understand the Sumerian Swindle, throwaside your conditioning and your “take-it-or-granted”state o mind and understand this idea o “interest-on-a-loan” rom a new perspective. Te First Secret Fraudo the Sumerian Swindle is: “All interest on the loano money is a swindle.” Tat’s right. Every banker andmoneylender is a deceiving thie and a cruel swindleralthough he tries to keep this act hidden. So, to makeit easy to understand – simpliy, simpliy.

In modern times, the Sumerian Swindle is like theold shell game o hiding a pea under a shell. Tis gameis so simple: just one pea and three walnut shells. Andyet the pea gets lost rom view both by the mixing upo the walnut shells but also by the def manipulationso the huckster using sleight-o-hand. A good streethustler using nothing but three walnut shells and a peacan separate the gawking suckers rom their money in

a short time i they place their bets on the wrong shellbecause he can always make sure that it is the wrongshell.

o repeat: All interest on the loan o money is aswindle. And the moneylenders and bankers are allcriminals. Part o the trick in their black art, is thatmoneylenders have been around since Mesopotamiantimes so that these parasites have been taken orgranted and accepted as a “normal” part o society.But bankers are not at all normal. Tey are all crooks.

However well-dressed and honest they pretend tobe, the bankers are no different than a street hustlermanipulating a pea among walnut shells. But to makethe game more to their benefit, they manipulatetrillions o peas between billions o walnut shells sothat no one seems to be able to keep track o whereall the money goes except themselves. Tat all othe money disappears into the bankers’ pockets isn’tnoticed in the conusion caused by some winnersand some losers milling about and wondering whathappened to the economy.

o illustrate the Sumerian Swindle and or thesake o unraveling this ancient mystery in a simpleway, let’s assume that there is only one moneylenderin the whole world and only two pieces o money. Tetwo pieces o money can be lumps o gold or silver,pennies, rancs, yuan, Reich marks, dollars, whatevername you wish to use or them – but there are only twoo them. I could use two dollars or this example oreven two pennies but since the Mesopotamians usedweights o silver in their system o exchange, let’s dothe same or this as well as or the examples given later.A shekel weight o silver was about one-third ounce orabout eight grams. Let’s assume that there are only twoshekels o silver in the whole world.

Now suppose that there are two men who want toborrow rom the Mesopotamian banker one shekel osilver each. Either they are merchants or armers orperhaps only a parent wishing to have a big weddingparty and dowry or a beloved daughter. Each mangoes to the banker to borrow one shekel o silver,which the banker loans at fify percent interest or one


18/26318

year.Now, remember, (or the sake o this illustration)

there are only two shekels o silver in the entire world.At fify percent interest or each shekel, that meansthat each borrower must return one and a hal shekelsto the banker at the end o the year. And i each manreturns to the banker one and a hal shekels, thatadds up to a total o three shekels that the banker will

have in his hands. But remember, there are only twoshekels o silver in the entire world! So, how can theseborrowers return to the banker three shekels o silver?

In act, it is impossible. We can see theimpossibility when the problem is simplified like this.But this impossibility is hidden rom the average manbecause in reality, the amounts o money are so largeand they involve so many borrowers that the swindleis not so easily perceived. And yet, there is alwaysless money available in reality than what the banker

demands because the arithmetic creates somethingthat is not really there – an extra shekel out o thinair. You can call it simple arithmetic but the ancientmoneylenders called it quite simply, “Oy Gevalt! Amiracle!” From this phantom o interest-on-a-loan,all other rauds arose within the Sumerian Swindle, aswindle o phantom interest demanding repayment inreal goods.

As the centuries wore on and then more centurieswore on, this idea o making loans with an interestcharge attached to them became an accepted idea.

It was difficult to give a goat or a wedding east andexpect to be paid back two goats, or to loan the use o afield and expect two fields in return. But i a goat couldbe given and repaid with a goat plus a basket o grain,then a new kind o bargaining began to evolve. Te useo a field could be loaned out with so-many basketso grain given as rent. And so it went. Troughoutthe hundreds o years beore the Sumerians arrived inMesopotamia, this new system was in place o makingloans-at-interest.

At first, the ethics o the Ubaidian moneylenderswas not much different than that o their own people.Small towns keep their individual people adhering tosociety’s norms through social pressures and gossip. Inthe small villages where everybody knew everybodyelse, it was very rare or one neighbor to steal romor to swindle another without everybody finding outabout it. Retribution was either exacted with fisticuffsor death, or the neighborly aggressor would be calledbeore the council o elders or the village chie and thedisagreements would come under public scrutiny. It

was social pressure alone that kept those who loaned-at-interest within a reasonableness that was conduciveto social harmony. Tese are the acts o small villagelie. I people are to get along, then one citizen cannotbe allowed to prey upon another.

Strangely enough or such a dishonest system,money lending, itsel, depends upon the goodnessand honesty o Mankind. It posits the proposition

that anyone who borrows is obligated by the honoro his name and the holiness o his promise to repaythe principle and interest on the loan. Tis is wherethe swindle gets most o its power because it reliesupon the borrower being honest. It relies upon theborrower being honorable. It relies upon the borrowerbeing god-earing and true to his word. But it does notdepend upon the lender o money to be any o thesethings. Tus, Secret Fraud #3 was incorporated at anearly time: “Loans rely on the honesty o the borrower

but not the honesty o the lender.”By 4000 BC, not only had the Ubaidians developedsmall towns and an organized society but they had alsodeveloped into two social classes which were namedthe awilum [the Haves] and the muskenum [the Have-Nots]. Tis system o getting back more than they lentout, developed over a period o more than a thousandyears. So, the incremental change in the wealth andpower o the awilum [the Haves] over the muskenum[the Have-Nots] was not noticed since it was sogradually accomplished. Trough many generations,

rich athers taught their sons how to parasitize theirneighbors and the poor athers taught their sons thatafer borrowing grain rom the awilum [the Haves]that the honest thing to do was to pay back that grainplus interest because “that’s how it has always been.”Instead o being recognized as an aberration, thesystem itsel began to be accepted as normal.

For the awilum [the Haves], this loan-and-interestbecame an asset that could be passed along to his sons.And the original loan that had cost them nothing andwhich brought them more wealth or ree in interestpayments, could also be passed rom one generationto the next as grain- and silver-lending amiliesbequeathed to their descendants the ruits o usuryas ongoing accounts. Eventually, wealthy amilies andwealthy individuals arose who, through greed andacquisitive barter, were able to gain a large share o thetotal wealth o the community. Over many generationsthose amilies became owners o large propertiesand the employers o many laborers to work thoseproperties. Farms, silver, grain, land and slaves, all


19/26319

became theirs. And they got it all or ree.Lending-at-interest became commonly accepted

as an ordinary part o the Pre-Literate Mesopotamiansociety simply because it “has always been here”. Terich insisted on their “rights o ownership” and thepoor accepted their poverty since it was brought uponthem so gradually by the subtlety o the swindle thatthey didn’t notice the decline o their well-being.

Later, a new raud was developed when the armerscould see no reason to pay back loans o grain tolenders who already had more than they needed. Asellow citizens, it didn’t seem air that a rich grainlender would demand payment rom a poor armerwho barely had enough to eat. So, the armers, beinghonest and air olks, began to only pay back theprinciple but not the interest on the loan. In response,the lenders began to demand that loans-at-interest besecured with property. As a result, loans that were not

repaid plus interest, oreited the arm. In this way, thelenders began to acquire not only more grain and silverbut also more arms as they developed Secret Fraud#2: “Collateral that is worth more than the loan, is thebanker’s greatest asset.”

Social upheaval did not occur immediately becausethere was still vacant land that could be settled so thatthere was still a place or the dispossessed to move to.Trough the loaning o grain or silver at interest andthen being dispossessed o their arms, the People wereorced to dig new irrigation systems and build up the

raw land arther rom the rivers. Although loaning-at-interest had worked its inevitable evil, the effects werediluted because there was still places or the peopleto go. Te poor did not rise up and kill the rich but agreater social distance developed between the rich andthe poor. As villages grew into cities, and there was agreater social distance and impersonality between thewealthy who lent money and the poor who borrowedrom them, a more callous, ruthless attitude developedin the rich and a more seething hatred developed inthe poor.

Once society accepted the legitimacy o collectinginterest-on-a-loan and once the cities grew into moreimpersonal sizes, the moneylenders were ree to takewhatever profits they could even by resorting to orce.And orce was ofen necessary when the moneylenderwanted to dispossess a amily rom their lands andpossessions. Pulling a struggling child rom thearms o a fighting and screaming mother and atherrequired orce. Pushing entire amilies off o theirarms required orce. And with increased wealth, the

moneylenders who did not have enough strong sonsand male relatives also became the employers o guardsand goons and strong-armed gangs o enorcers.

Te moneylenders could get away with theirswindles because they were swindling honest peoplewho mistakenly assumed that the moneylenders alsowere honest and their loans were legitimate. SecretFraud #3 o the Sumerian Swindle is: “Loans rely on

the honesty o the borrower but not the honesty o thelender.”

I you have ever inspected a modern credit cardcontract or any other banking document, there isalways “fine print”. In addition to tiny print that isdifficult to read, it is ofen printed with gray ink,making it even more difficult to decipher. Have youever wondered why this is so? I the bankers and creditcard companies are honest businessmen, then why dothey use tricks and deceit in order to trick you into

entering into one o their raudulent contracts? Tequestion is rhetorical. Basically, banker and credit cardcompanies are all swindlers. Teir entire industry iscriminal in nature, so secrecy, tricks and deceit are partand parcel o the bankers’ business methods.

Te methods o modern bankers are built upon thesame methods employed by the ancient moneylenderso Sumeria. Te bankers, themselves, are crooks tryingto swindle you out o your property, but they demandthat you, yoursel, must be honest and true to yourword. Tey present you with a raudulent contract

to sign which stipulates how they are going to stealrom you. And they expect you to keep the agreement,honestly and true, even though they, themselves, areneither honest nor true. Te moneylenders demandthat you honestly repay to them with interest whatthey have dishonestly derauded rom you. Tis is whatmodern moneylenders do to you but it was worse orthe people o ancient Mesopotamia.

Just as a modern banker can have the sheriff throwyou into the street and seize your personal property,or the ancient Mesopotamians the prospect oslavery was an additional punishment. And so, SecretFraud #3 o the Sumerian Swindle is also one o itsbest kept secrets. Although the moneylenders are allcrooks who deraud you out o your possessions, theyhypocritically demand that you, who are their victims,be honest and pay them your money. Bankers reuse toloan to thieving crooks because stealing money is whatthe bankers want to do.

Lie was good and profitable or the awilum [theHaves] as they gained more and more properties and


20/26320

goods through lending-at-interest. Great wealth tendsto demand luxury. It became ashionable or peoplewith wealth to buy the best o clothes and the anciesto trinkets.

Bartering or goods and equating goods tobaskets o grain, began a system where trade could beaccomplished between a variety o goods merely byequating them with an agreed upon amount o grain.

And there was something else among all o the dustytrade goods in that dusty and dry country that wasalso desirable. Tat silver metal that was too sof oranything except ornaments or the wie and shiny cupsand trinkets, had a trade value also. Silver was morerare than baskets o grain and had to be imported romdistant lands. Because o its rarity, a small amount osilver could be traded or a large amount o grain or orgoats or lands or houses. Te trade ratio between thisshiny metal and what people were willing to trade or it

was quite high.Soon it was accepted that a purse containing aew shekels weight o silver was equal to huge piles ograin, numerous goats and sheep, oxen, fields o barley,houses and any other thing or which men and womenbartered and traded. Tus, silver became a useul andrelatively light weight method or exchanging goods.Although not a true orm o money, silver became atype o commodity money. Silver was not valuablebecause o any intrinsic value in and by itsel, butsimply because men and women desired to have it.

As a shiny commodity, it could be made into a ringor a bracelet. Or it could be an in-between trade goodsuch as in trading a goat or some silver in one townand that same silver or some jars o beer in anothertown. And because it could be used to buy anything,it became the most desirable o all things because itcould be traded or all things. In ancient Sumeria,silver could be traded or anything.

Shiny metals all came rom outside oMesopotamia. Tese imports o silver and gold weremuch in demand or jewelry and or decoration othe temples. Because o their relative scarcity whencompared with other goods, it took many commoncommodities to trade or very small quantities osilver and gold. It was not that silver and gold hadany value o their own, but their relative scarcityallowed small amounts o them to be traded or largeamounts o other things. It was this scarcity in ratioto the abundance o other things that gave them their value. So the awilum [the Haves] who wore silverand gold rings and bracelets and broaches, displayed

their wealth by the large amounts o grain and goatsthat would be needed to trade or such jewelry. Asilver bracelet that had cost a hundred goats, was animpressive piece o shiny metal to every armer whoonly owned a ew goats.

Although the basic system o commerce inMesopotamia was barter, silver became in all respectsthe money o the ancient Near East. It was bartered in

shekel weights and each shekel weighed about eightgrams. Using these weights and measures, we knowwhat the wages and prices were in those ancient times.

Silver was a barter commodity that evolved intoa kind o commodity money that could be used as amedium o exchange or everything. A armer mightreuse to trade his grain or a hundredweight o rawwool but he would gladly trade it or a ew shekelweights o silver. He could then trade the silver orsome new garments or his wie and or the new

mortar and pestle and the baby goats that he reallywanted.One lump o gold is o no use in commerce because

the entire society cannot do business trading amongthemselves with one lump o gold. So, except betweenkings and bullion merchants and money changers whodealt in very large amounts, gold’s rarity limited itsuseulness as a type o money. Silver, however, is rarebut not so rare that it wasn’t plentiul enough to beused as a medium o exchange. Although one lump ogold is useless in business, a hundred lumps o silver

begin to make the wheels o business turn as they weretraded back and orth between buyers and sellers.Tus, silver became the basis o the monetary systemsthat developed in the ancient Near East.

Silver, itsel, is as worthless as sand; whatever valueit has is given to it by the mutual agreement o men. Asa metal, it lasted or ages and did not deteriorate likecloth or cooking oil or grain or even the land, itsel.As long as it could be traded or anything in additionto acting as a orm o money, it also became a methodto store wealth. A ton o grain could be sold or silver.A parcel o land could be sold or silver. A slave couldbe sold or silver. A house could be sold or silver. Andyears later, when the grain was eaten, the land washedaway by the river, the slave dead o old age and thehouse allen down in an earthquake, the silver couldbe taken out o its hiding place and resh grain, moreland, a young slave and a new house could be boughtwith that silver. Silver, thus became a very valuableand useul commodity metal that was recognized veryearly as useul both as a medium o exchange and as a


21/26321

storage o wealth. Anything could be sold or silver andthat silver could then buy anything else. Like a magicalamulet, among a people who believed in magic andsorcery, anything could be turned into silver and silvercould be turned into anything. Silver was very muchsought afer by everyone who did any buying or sellingin Mesopotamia. And those who did the buying andselling were the awilum [the Haves].

Great wealth also brought problems or thewealthy. Trough lending-at-iterest, the awilum[Haves] began to acquire more land than they ortheir relatives could possibly arm. Tey acquiredmore oreclosed houses and fish ponds and boatsand arm animals than they could possibly managethemselves. Human resentments being what they are,the moneylenders ound it difficult to hire a armer towork on the same field that they had swindled romhim. Farmers who had lost their land to the grain and

silver lenders preerred to start aresh by digging newirrigation ditches and cultivating new fields arther outin the desert.

o solve his problem o too many oreclosedproperties and untended flocks, the Ubaidianmoneylenders began to hire laborers rom the northo Mesopotamia. Tese Northerners (Subarians) werepoor hunter-gatherers without arms or arming skills.In exchange or the usual wages o grain and oil, wovencloth and beer, they became the cheap immigrantlaborers o pre-literate Mesopotamia. Using careully

controlled wages and strong-arm tactics rom hisoremen and enorcers, the awilum [Haves] were ableto keep these poor people hard at work. By the timeo the arrival o the Sumerians (the Southerners), theword or “slave” had become “Subarian.”

Te moneylenders began to betray their ownpeople to oreigners by using those oreigners asa means o securing ownership o the confiscatedand oreclosed estates and properties. Although thearchives name them as Subarians, a name which,by the time the Sumerians arrived in Mesopotamia,meant “slave”, in act these names were not ethnic ortribal reerences at all. Te our directions used bythe Mesopotamian people were North (Subar), South(Sumer), West (Amurru), and East (Elam) and thecity o Babylon later became the center o it all. Tus,the names o these people that have come down to usindicate, not their ethnic or country o origin, but thedirection rom whence they came.

As the moneylenders hired more and moreSubarians rom the north to work the land, the

displaced and oreclosed Ubaidians were orced to seekreuge in the temples as servants or to hire themselvesout as muskenum [Have-Not] laborers or as tenantarmers. Once-proud landowning armers who hadbeen among the class o awilum [the Haves] werereduced to being landless paupers working or a dailybowl o barley porridge as the slaves o those whohad lent to them at interest. Tis led to a great deal

o rebelliousness among these displaced workers andresentments toward the awilum [the Haves] and thetamkarum [merchant-moneylenders] who had takentheir arms and enslaved their children. Grumblingand threatening mobs o hungry muskenum [Have-Nots] were a growing threat to the moneylenders’security.

Te moneylenders ound that they could deflectretribution and increase their profits by importinglarge numbers o oreign workers rom the Subar (the

North) to work the lands. Tese poor Subarians didnot ask so much or their pay since they were happy tomerely have a bowl o barley porridge and a pot o beeror their labor. And i the money lending landlord gavethem enough barley and beer or themselves and awie then he could hire a devoted worker. Surroundedby cheap immigrant labor, the displaced Ubaidianarmers became more docile when they ound to theirgreat terror that i they did not work or the awilum[the Haves] as cheaply as the immigrants and withoutgrumbling, then they would starve to death as the

oreigner workers displaced them in the fields and inthe brick yards.

And so, huge tracts o land were worked both byoreign Subarians whom the moneylenders broughtin rom the North and by the impoverished Ubaidianswho worked the estates o the temple and o the King.Tus, through money lending, the Udaidian peoplewere derauded o their homes and were displaced byhired immigrant labor. Tey became servants on theirown lands.

But how can less-developed and more primitiveoreign people displace the more advanced citizens oa country? Tere are three stages to this displacementbeginning with treason rom above ound in the greedo the tamkarum [merchant-moneylenders].

First, cheap oreign laborers are brought in by themoneylenders and landlords under the protection otheir own high social status and their ownership othe land. Te Ubaidian people accepted the ancientswindle that the awilum [the Haves] can “do whatthey want with their own property.” Tis attitude


22/26322

was also accepted by the landowners whose propertywas next to the oreign tenant armers because theysaw no danger in denying what they considered tobe their own rights as property owners. Tis attitudewas also accepted by the grumbling itinerant workersand debt-slaves because they didn’t have any choice.Tey were the voiceless and powerless “Have-Nots.”Tus, under cover o land ownership, the awilum

[the Haves] moved oreign workers into the countryto work cheaply and increase their profits, whileorcing the displaced workers into silence by threat ounemployment and starvation.

Second, when oreign people live as minoritiesamong any population where they are outnumbered,they usually assume a very riendly and cheerul andhelpul attitude toward the majority population inan effort to be accepted and to blend into society.Trough continuing riendliness they tend to disarm

the populace o distrust and resentment o their un-asked-or presence. Trough persistent riendliness,the danger that they pose is orgotten.

And third, once the oreign population has grownto a number that approaches a nearly equal or superiornumber, they give up their previously cheerul andriendly attitude and begin to assert a more aggressiveand acquisitive character as they strive to take orthemselves the land and properties that are owned orrented by the original population. Tis is subversionand disenranchisement rom below. Tis is something

that the devious moneylenders recognized at a veryearly stage in their success as parasites. And this is athree-stage pattern that you will see is repeated overthe next 7000 years right up to the present times.

Unlike small tribal societies where personalloyalties are o paramount importance, the distancethat great wealth created between the rich and thepoor, gave the rich an impersonal interest in thepoor. Te Ubaidian moneylenders, shrewdly peeringthrough their hal-closed eyelids, swindled the landaway and created a sub-class o the working poor romamong their own people. o urther enrich themselves,they hired the even cheaper Subarian laborers whoundercut the pay scale o the people. As the Subarianworkers were immigrated in, the wages that theawilum [the Haves] had to pay to their own peopleell because o the competition rom cheap labor.So, through oreign immigration, the social distancebetween the rich and the poor grew even wider andmore impersonal. Te Ubaidian land owners thoughtnothing o hiring oreigners while their own people

either starved or worked or starvation wages, i that’swhat it took to increase their own wealth.

Even though they had displaced their own people,the moneylenders, themselves, were not displacedsince they were the property owners and the oneswho promoted Subarian labor on the oreclosed andconfiscated arms. In their greed, the moneylenderssold vast properties to a oreign people rom the

Iranian plateau. Tese people entered Mesopotamiarom the South. Tey brought with them abundantsilver to buy up the oreclosed properties rom theUbaidian moneylenders. And within one generation,as their children learned the ways o the Ubaidianculture, these people rom the South (rom the Sumer),became the masters o the land. Tey were calledSumerians.Afer a thousand years o usury, what property wasnot owned by the temples or the kings was owned by

the moneylenders and a ew independent armers, allmembers o the social class o awilum [the Haves].But i the moneylenders wanted to sell some land, towhom could they sell it? Te moneylenders could notsell to the temples because the priests considered allland to be the property o the gods. Te priests wouldaccept the land as a ree-will donation but they wouldnot buy it. Te moneylenders could not sell to thekings because the kings in those days were not workingor themselves but were servants o the gods andprotectors o the People. Te kings also would want

more land only i it was a gif. Te moneylenders couldnot sell to other moneylenders or merchants becausethrough their own swindles they all had as muchproperty as they could manage and would only buy at aridiculously low price. So, the Ubaidian moneylenderssold their oreclosed arms to people rom outside oMesopotamia, to oreigners rom the south (Sumer)and east (Elam) who had silver in abundance. Tesepeople are known to us as Sumerians simply becausethey arrived in Mesopotamia rom the south, rom “theSumer.”

Te Sumerians were a much more intelligentpeople than the poor Subarians (the “northerners”).Tey knew a good thing when they saw it; and theagricultural abundance o Mesopotamia was whatthey wanted. Te Sumerians were not interested inbecoming the paid servants and the poor laborerso the Ubaidian landlords like the Subarians were.Tey had plenty o silver that they had dug out o themountains o Elam (Iran). So, they traded their silverbangles and rings or the arms and fields that the


23/26323

awilum [the Haves] owned.But the Sumerians were not ools. Tey could

clearly see the advantages or themselves to occupy theland and the disadvantages to the Ubaidian armers.So, their natural suspicions prompted them to ask,“Why are you selling the land to us? Are you notbetraying your own people by doing this?”

But the wily merchants and moneylenders, expert

salesmen that they were, always had a ready answer toovercome such an objection. “What are those peopleto us?” they replied. “Tey are not our riends becausethey hate us and wish to do us harm. We have loanedthem silver and helped them to buy land and purchaseproperty. As mighty Sin is our witness, we have doneeverything that we can to help them buy the bestarms and the finest orchards. But still they hate usor our goodness and generosity because they are ullo hatred. But you are our riends, so we will give our

riends a good deal in buying the land.”And so, the bargain was made. Te Sumerians hadno reason to hate the Ubaidian moneylenders, yet. So,they accepted the offers o cheap land. And to provetheir riendship and generosity to the new immigrants,those Sumerians who could not afford the ull price,the Ubaidians let them buy on time at low interestrates. Like blood-sucking fleas, the moneylenders jumped rom their old victims who hated themonto their new victims who innocently accepted themoneylenders as their riends and guides and mentors.

Te ancient snake, with sof words and low interestrates, coiled around its prey. It’s bite would come later.

Te Ubaidian moneylenders made huge ortunes inland sales. But in the process, they betrayed their entirecountry to oreigners, not only by hiring cheap oreignlabor as in the case with the poor Subarians rom thenorth, but by actually selling the land to the Sumeriansrom the south. And they had accomplished this byonly using the raud o loaning at simple interest,which was all that illiterate people could calculate.

O course, as the moneylenders saw it, they werethe “owners” o the land and had a right to sell it towhomever they chose. But in actual act, nearly everyshekel o silver and every parcel o land that theyhad, was a result o stealing and derauding their ownpeople through the swindles o money lending andconfiscation o collateral. Tey were robber baronsselling off their loot.

Because this system o lending-at-interest hadexisted long beore the Sumerians arrived, theyaccepted this alse idea without a second thought.

Afer all, by the time the Sumerians arrived, the citiesand towns o Mesopotamia were already over 3,000years old. It appeared that the political and economicsystems o Mesopotamia “had always been here”. So,they accepted the entire system without question. Teinterest-on-a-loan, the Sumerians called “mas”, a wordused or both calves and interest. [3] So, this idea thatinterest could increase magically like the birth o a

cal, concealed the Swindle rom its earliest inception.Tat the interest was a swindle was known only to themoneylenders.

As the new land owners, the Sumerians broughtin more and more o their relatives rom the Southuntil they became so numerous that the Ubaidianinhabitants o Mesopotamia entirely disappeared as anethnic group and the land came under the completedomination and power o the Sumerians. Tesepeople greatly improved upon what the Ubaidians

had developed and they produced inventions o theirown. So, they are credited as being the ounderso civilization. In addition to their many positivecontributions to Mankind, they are the ones whodeveloped the Sumerian Swindle to its highest level oraud and passed it along to the modern world as thedemonic invention known as compound interest.

With their keen intelligence, they could see thepotential o what inventions the Ubaidians had.Since “necessity is the mother o invention”, theytransormed the crude scratches on clay into a robust

system o writing and mathematical calculation.However, writing was not invented to record greatpoetry, epic myths or novels. Writing was not inventedto write down prayers and songs in praise o the gods.For millennia, poetry and epic tales o the Gods andHeroes had been transmitted orally by the bards,storytellers and singers. So, there was no “necessity”to invent writing or that. What was needed was amethod or recording the baskets o grain, the potso beer, the numbers o ducks, and the various othercommodities that were traded among the merchantsand armers. Writing was originally invented as anaccounting tool.

As early as 10,000 BC, the Ubaidians had usedtokens o clay shaped as spheres, cones, rods and discsthe size o small marbles or simple household andmarket bookkeeping. Tis system worked well enoughor six thousand years in Mesopotamia, developingwith a variety o squiggles on the sides o the disks torecord numbers. [4]

During those six thousand years, the Ubaidians


24/26324

built large mud-brick towns and towering mud-brick temples while not even one person knew howto read or write. Six thousand years is a long timeto be illiterate. And beore that, as hunter-gatherers,Mankind did quite well or several millions o yearswithout reading or writing a single word. But to keeptrack o their pots o beer! Now that was somethingabout which no one wanted to lose count!

Around 3500 BC, it was discovered that thosecommodities that were represented by clay “things”could more easily be represented as scratches incisedupon wet clay. Instead o having a heavy basketulo clay disks that represented the sacks o wool andpots o beer and baskets o grain that were owned bya temple or by a rich merchant, those commoditieswere ound to be more efficiently recorded by a ewsquiggles and lines on a tablet o clay no bigger thanone’s open palm. With this invention, a thirty kilogram

basket o clay disks and spheres was replaced by a one-

eighth kilogram clay tablet with markings on it thatcould record a whole city-ull o baskets filled with claymarkers. Writing and numbers were a antastic use ominiaturization our thousand years beore there wereany Japanese!

When the Sumerians realized the potential powerand useulness o those scratches on wet clay, theyimproved upon them and created a complete writingand counting system known to us as cuneiormwriting. [Figure 2] Writing was invented, not bynovelists and poets in need o expressing their artisticurges, but by the bean counters in need o keepingtrack o their beans.

With the invention o writing, both time anddistance were changed in relation to Mankind.Distances were made shorter and time was made

irrelevant. Te simple clay writing tablets o theSumerians erased the destructive influence o time,itsel, because even the aintest markings on theclay tablets could carry the written ideas across themillennia to where our present day scholars can readthe very words o those ancient people.

Tink o the possibilities that opened up with theinvention o writing! Contracts and treaties could be

stored or eons without losing a single word o theoriginal agreement. Distant kings could communicatewith one another in words that could not be changedby either orgetulness or distance. Without havingto make perilous journeys, merchants could orderexact amounts o goods with agreed upon pricesrom suppliers in distant countries. Contracts or thesale and rental o fields and arms with agreed uponpayments and time schedules could be written down asproo o any business arrangement and these could be

stored or centuries without losing a single word in thecontract or the smallest grain o silver in the payment.With writing, the Sumerians were able to weld thesmall villages and towns into powerul states throughthe power o communication. And all o this wasaccomplished with marks made upon wet clay withouta single television program or Hollywood movie tointerere with their cultural progress.

However great the invention o writing was ormaking complex civilizations possible, it was thepeople who controlled the writing who also controlled

those complex civilizations. Since writing was actuallyinvented by the merchants then the merchants werethe ones who first and oremost benefited romwriting. And i a merchant did not know how to readand write, he could always hire a scribe to do it orhim.

But here is a curious act. However great aninvention that writing is, how much attention doyou give to it? Everyday, do you look at some writtenwords and sigh great “oohs” and “ahhs” at the verywonderulness o written words? Or do you thinknothing o reading and writing what-so-ever? Whenyou want to read or write something, you merely readand write. Don’t you take or granted the reading-and-writing because you have been amiliar with it or mosto your lie? I am setting up a trap here, so be careul.

Te same can be said o the invention o thewheel. Tis simple device, which was also invented inMesopotamia, carries the entire modern world. Wewould not have an industrial or even an efficient ruralsociety without the wheel to drive our vehicles and


25/26325

turn our machinery. But do you stop in awe and starein wonder every time an automobile drives by andpoint your finger in excitement at the rolling wheelsand say, “Oh, look! A wheel! Look! A whole bunch owheels!” O course not! Wheels are so common! Andthey have been around since beore we were born. So,we take them or granted as an ordinary part o Lie. Iam setting up a trick here, so be careul.

Tat which has existed since beore we wereborn, is something that everybody takes or granted.Automobiles, glass windows, orks and spoons,telephones and a million other items are examples othings to which we don’t give a second thought sincethey have “always been here.” We all grew rom a babyto an adult with these inventions all around us. Right?Now, be careul, I am setting up a trick here.

But you know rom your study o history, thatautomobiles, glass windows, telephones, etc., have not

really been here orever. You may even know romyour modern collection o trivial inormation thenames o the people who invented these things andeven the dates when they were invented. But whatcould the ancient Mesopotamians know about theinventions o their own people? Literally, they couldknow nothing at all because all o their inventions weremade beore writing was developed.

Tanks to the archeologists, we know that betweenthe first small villages o the Ubaidians and thebeginnings o genuine civilization with the Sumerians,

an amazing 6,000 years had gone by. Six thousandyears o people sowing and reaping, raising theiramilies and dieing and not a one o them being able toread or write! I am setting up a trick here. So be careuland think about this a bit.

In relation to your own lie, think about your owncountry and its history. Tink about your own relativesand your own amily and put this into perspective.I your parents are still living, do you rememberyour grandparents? What about your great-grand-parents? Can you remember them? Aside rom someold photographs, what can you really say about yourgreat-grand-parents? And certainly there is very littlei anything that you can remember about your great-great-grand-parents since they died beore you wereborn. And what can you know about your distantrelatives rom a hundred years ago? And even thoughyou can read and write, what can you say about yourrelatives who lived five thousand years ago? Fivethousand years ago you had living relatives! Youexist, so certainly they did too. But there is absolutely

nothing that you can say about any o them, dust asthey are, blowing in the wind and imaginary spooksconjured up in your own mind. Be careul. Tere is atrick coming up here.

“ime is money” or so say the modern capitalistsand financiers who daily use both time and moneyto increase their profits and betray the world. So, ocourse, it is important to understand time i you want

to understand the people who use time to swindle youout o your money.

Five thousand years is really a very short time.But to modern people at the beginning o the 21 st Century AD, five thousand years seems to be ancientand remote. Because everything changes so muchin modern times, we tend to view a hundred
