In a recent issue of a journal called Foreign Policy, published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, associate editor Thomas Olmstead wrote an article entitled “Selling off America.” Olmstead’s conclusions are startlingly accurate:
Foreigners with fistfuls of devalued dollars now comb America for banks, businesses, factories, land, and securities. The result is a continuing erosion of control over decision making and technologies that .are crucial to the creation of national wealth and power. 4
Statistics show that foreigners now own 46 percent of the prime real estate in. Los Angeles, 39 percent in. Houston, and 33 percent in the nation’s capitol of Washington, D.C. As one expert has noted, “Foreign purchases offer highly visible signs of America’s declining position in the world economy and of the increasing penetration of its economic and political system by foreign interests.” 5
Our presidents have sought to reassure and calm Americans by proclaiming that the buy up of America is not really significant. Therefore, President Ronald Reagan suggested as far back as 1983 that “A world with strong foreign investment is good. We believe,” said the president, that “there are only winners, no losers, and all participants gain from it.” 6
“Not so,” responded Senator Frank Murkowski (Republican-Alaska). “Once they own your assets, they own you,” said the blunt senator. 7
“Today,” said another authority, “America’s heavy reliance on foreign capital... has greatly accelerated the decline of its global economic power. By 1986 nearly two-thirds of America’s net investment in plants, equipment, and housing was being supplied by foreigners.” 8
The Great Buying Spree
The foreigners have bought up some of America’s largest newspapers and publishing houses. They have even gobbled up many computer, high technology and military related firms. This puts our technological secrets and military technology in the hands of outsiders. Foreign lobbyists now roam the halls of Congress making payoffs and “large gifts” to congressmen who go along with their devious plans. These greedy outsiders do not love America, they love the color of money, and it does not matter what color the money is—green, blue, or pink.
Travel to any American city today, set your eyes on that city’s largest buildings and realize this: those buildings could very well be owned by foreigners. By the year 2000, foreigners could own up to 75 percent of all of America’s prime real estate. In New York City, they own the Rockefeller Center, the Tiffany building, and the Epson building. In Washington, the infamous Watergate Complex is owned by them. Our own Department of Justice is housed in buildings owned by foreigners. In Los Angeles, the huge Arco Plaza is in the hands of these outsiders.
Some 12.5 million acres of farmland in 49 states is owned by foreigners; they have controlling interest in up to one-third of our banks, and in the past year they have bought up over 500 companies in a variety of industries.
Who’s Number One? Not America
After the flames of World War II had died to embers, such nations as France, Germany, and Japan began to rebuild. Now these nations are financial behemoths. In Business Week magazine, July 16, 1990, was listed the global 1000—the top 1,000 corporations in the world in terms of market value. Number one was Nippon Telegraph and Telephone, Japan’s telephone and communications giant. This huge corporation is valued at over twice the worth of AT&T, but that is not all. The largest bank in the world is the Industrial Bank of Japan, valued at over $67 billion. The largest oil corporation in the world is not Gulf, Texaco, or Exxon. No, the largest is Royal Dutch/Shell, a combine owned by wealthy men in the Netherlands and Great Britain. General Motors is far outdone by Toyota in the auto business, while Ford Motor Company is lagging behind Germany’s Daimler-Benz, which has put record numbers of Mercedes on America’s freeways. 9
How does all of this effect you? First of all, you should understand that these foreigners are even buying up Christian publishing companies. For example, one of the largest, Zondervan, is owned by Harper & Row, a secular publishing house which puts out unbelievably trashy materials. Harper & Row, in turn, is owned by the Australian magnate Rupert Murdock.
If you eat hamburgers at Hardee’s fast food restaurants your dollars are going into foreign pockets. If you buy aspirin at People’s Drug Stores, the same is true. Turn on the TV and watch such unholy shows as The Simpsons and Married, With Children on Fox Broadcasting Network and you are watching television programs owned by foreign interests. The clothing you wear may be from Brooks Brothers, owned by outsiders. And if you are a typist and use a Smith-Corona typewriter, be aware, it is built and marketed by foreign interests. 10
The War On The Dollar
How has the international cartel centered overseas been able so easily to buy up most of America? The answer is simple. First, they made war on the dollar driving it down over 50 percent in value versus other major currencies in the last five years alone. Being able to get twice as many dollars in their hands, they then went on a shopping spree. 11 While the Japanese joined in what I call the Great American Flea Market Buying Spree, the real money masters are located in Europe, in Germany, Italy, Belgium, and Great Britain.
The Europeans who now rule the world have created a special form of money which they call the Eurodollar. This Eurodollar will soon be succeeded by a special currency distributed by the coming United States of Europe. But for now, the Eurodollar works just fine... if you’re not an American! The giant banking interests in Europe have discovered that through the mechanism of the Eurodollar, they can buy up U.S. dollars at cheap rates and then use those dollars in turn to take over American resources.
Financial analyst Martin Mayer, in a very revealing article in the Wall Street Journal, recently reported on what he called the “evil and monstrous act” of the men who control the Eurodollar and have now bought up the major interest in America. Mayer noted that the London stock market had easily been manipulated by these men, but that what they have done to U.S. monetary sovereignty is far more severe.
“Because of the Euromarket,” Mayer observes, “the U.S. lost control of its own money supply.” In other words, our dollars have flown overseas and are now deposited in European banks, and European manipulators in turn use these cheaply bought dollars to buy up America. “These men,” says Mayer, have in affect exported “their inflationary pressures to the U.S.” 12
The Storming of the Bastille
It is no wonder, then, that the infamous Council on Foreign Relations, in its journal called Foreign Affairs, has suggested that the United States will now “have to make painful adjustments.” 13 Cryptically, the CFR remarked that when President Bush goes to Paris for the next economic summit it should be noted that the date is “the two hundredth anniversary of the storming of the Bastille.” 14
Predictably, according to the Council on Foreign Relations the only thing that America can now do given its state of economic distress, is to integrate its economy with the other world economies and thereby create one unified international system. This is a “painful process,” say CFR insiders. “But it is essential if the trends toward economic integration among the world’s market economies is to be maintained.” 15
Thus, we see revealed the brilliant plot of the conspirators: drive America to its knees financially and economically so that its people—you and I—will beg to be included in the New International Economic Order. After all, we don’t want to be left at the station when the great United States of Europe train takes off. “All aboard! Get on now or else it will be too late!” comes the cry from the big boys. However, if we do jump on board, and I believe we already have, then don’t be surprised if this turns out to be a nightmare ride on the Orient Express all the way to the fateful destination of Armageddon.
The Case Of The Vanishing Gold
It is now indisputable that America is under the yoke of a small but ruthless bunch of money manipulators. These men have destroyed the value of the dollar and have the ability to drive the United States to econo
mic despair. What would prevent us from just saying no to these wicked and influential men?
In years gone by we might have been able to do so. For one thing, we could have said, “Take your foreign currencies and get out of town by sundown. We still have our gold in Fort Knox.” Gold, after all, has always been the preferred medium of exchange throughout the annals of human history. America is famed for its gold, a bonanza gleamed from the California gold rush and the great Klondike strike. In a sense, gold—or the lust for this precious metal—has made America the economic giant that it is today, or should I say the giant it was yesterday.
You see, our gold has vanished. “What?” you say. How could that be? Do we not have vaults brimming with gold bars at Fort Knox, Kentucky, protected by armed, uniformed U.S. soldiers? No, my friends. It is my sad duty to report to you that the gold has simply vanished.
No president since Franklin D. Roosevelt has personally seen any of the gold in Fort Knox. And, in fact, Roosevelt didn’t see all of it. What an astonishing scandal of which every American needs to be informed! The gold at Fort Knox has been taken away and given to the Europeans. Now, if this sounds incredible to you, please read on and you will understand the mind-boggling truth about what has happened to our gold.
Because of American debt, the international money masters demanded and got our gold. It was drained through what is called the “London Gold Pool,” an agency of the world’s most powerful bank. It is now lodged deeply in the underground vaults of the Bank for International Settlements in Basil, Switzerland.
The Federal Reserve Board, in collusion with the Bank for International Settlements and the U.S. Treasury Department, has carried off one of the greatest thefts in the history of the world—the removal of tons of U.S. gold from bullion storehouses. There it sits secure in the hands of its European masters in 20 miles of tunnels in solid rock beneath the Alps of historically neutral Switzerland.
The Superbank That Now Has Our Gold
What is the Bank for International Settlements? This superbank was created in a series of economic planning conferences beginning at Brussels in 1920, and continuing in London, the Hague, Netherlands, and in Geneva. Our President Woodrow Wilson helped create the bank, and he was aided in his efforts by Aristide Briand, a former French prime minister who even back then was promoting a “United States of Europe.” Briand and associates also secretly worked to promote a “New International Economic Order” and a “One World Government.” Their plan was that the League of Nations, which later became defunct, could grow into this new world order.
To realize the new world order, of course, it was necessary to control the world’s money supply. Thus, it was determined that the Bank for International Settlements would be established. It is literally beyond human explanation that this privately owned and secretly controlled bank could have our gold, and its leaders now have within their grasp all the money of this world. Only supernatural powers could have aided them in achieving their astonishing goal.
There are only a small number of U.S. congressmen aware of the great gold scandal. Recently, this handful of congressmen began to demand that the Federal Reserve be audited so it could be determined what has been done with this gold and how the Federal Reserve is manipulating our currency. Unfortunately, the Federal Reserve has stonewalled at every turn, and the White House has shunned all attempts to put pressure on the Federal Reserve.
It is clear that the influential men who run our money supply do not want to the truth to get out. If the American people fully understood what has happened to our vanishing gold, they would truly be up in arms. The great Boston Tea Party which instigated the American Revolution against the British would truly be a tea party compared with the armed rebellion that would confront the international bankers and their U.S. colleagues if this dirty little secret were to be discovered. 16
Now that the international Lords of Money have all of our gold, there is literally nothing that we can do in terms of our own human powers to reverse the terrible situation that has been created. It will take God. God alone can overcome this situation. But as we read in the book of Daniel, certain prophetic events are predetermined by God (Daniel 11:36). They cannot be reversed. I am convinced that the vanishing of our gold and the centralization of all financial power in the hands of these few greedy men fits in with Revelation 13 and the coming of the beast of prophecy, the World Leader who will control all the world through its money supply. If it be God’s will, all things will soon come to a climax.
Chapter 11
The New International Economic Order
He is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people. (Habakkuk 2:5)
In the destruction of the old world order and in the chaos of these modem times, the work of the new creation is going forward. (Alice Bailey, The New International Economic Order)
The New International Economic Order is on the way. It has already hit the shores of America and it is gathering steam. When it hits with all the fullness of its fury it will move like a financial tidal wave, descending in a raging torrent over the unprepared. The New International Economic Order (NIEO) is being promoted from almost every quarter today, but it is the conspirators of The Order who are controlling the pace of this fast-growth movement.
President Ronald Reagan, claimed by Freemasonry as one of its own, heralded the coming of the NIEO in 1988 in a major speech in which he called for a one world system. A former member of the World Federalist Association, Reagan told his audience, “I want to talk to you about... the developing economy of the future, an economy of great challenges and even greater opportunities, if only we have the courage to embrace them... and open our arms to economic freedom on a world scale.” 1 Reagan continued:
I speak of the economy of the future but it is farming now in the minds and imaginations of the entrepreneurs around the globe. It is... linked by a global network of investment and communications, it is transforming our lives so fast that the so-called conventional wisdom can barely keep up. But the dramatic changes we have already witnessed are only the foreshadowing of things to come... We are moving to a new era of seemingly limitless horizons... this is good news for humanity.
Then Reagan made this stunning statement:
This new world economy is a One World Economy... a global electronic network, on line 24-hours a day... In this new world economy, national boundaries are increasingly becoming obsolete.
This was not the first time that Ronald Reagan had talked about a new One World Economy. His successor, George Bush, has been even more bold in declaring that a One World Economy has arrived and that the new system requires a different frame of mind, as well as new international machinery of control.
World Goodwill Takes the Lead
The brotherhood that makes up the money conspiracy, as we have seen, has many fronts. One of its chief propaganda mills is an organization called World Goodwill. World Goodwill is actually funded and run by the Lucis Trust, founded by a New Age occultist, the late Alice Bailey, and headquartered in London, Switzerland, and New York City. It is this same Lucis Trust that has revealed the existence of an undercover and highly secretive group who call themselves the New Group of World Servers I believe this group is nothing more than The Order by another name.
In recent years World Goodwill has put forth a spate of papers, booklets and books, and has, in concert with the United Nations, their One World Order buddy, promoted numerous conferences and conclaves to promote the New International Economic Order. For example, one World Goodwill newsletter was entitled, “The Economic Problem: Finance, Trade and the Global Economy.” 2 In this publication the masters of World Goodwill called for international cooperation for development. They noted that the United Nations Assembly has already put forth a detailed proposal for a New International Economic Order, and they advocated the rapid adoption of the United Nations proposals.<

The principle that World Goodwill pushes the hardest is that called Global Sharing. This is simply a devious tactic designed to take from the middle classes and the working men and women of the world everything that they have earned and redistribute it to poorer countries. In reality, what is to take place is that the super-rich—those who now control our banking and money and own controlling interest in the multinational corporations that encircle the globe—will continue to hold on to their fabulous riches, property, and power. But the average American must sacrifice “for the good of all.”
Chaos to Bring Forth New Order
The scheme put forth by World Goodwill was first announced back in September, 1980 in their 27-page publication entitled The New International Economic Order. The cornerstone of this new order, said World Goodwill, is that the old world order has to be destroyed through chaos so that a new creation can go forward. As Alice Bailey explained it:
In the destruction of the old world order and in the chaos of these modern times, the work of the new creation is going forward; the task of reconstruction, leading to a complete reorganization of human living, and to a fresh real orientation of human thinking, is taking place. 3
According to World Goodwill, “World economic relationships are now entering a new and more expansive phase, and this is occurring because the old order is no longer viable or productive and is in need of change.” Continuing, the report stated, “The old order that had shaped the world until now is no longer adequate to meet the need.” Therefore, “representatives of almost all the world’s nation-states have agreed to discuss the creation of a new order among themselves.” 4
