2.13 第二章小結
小 結
◆ 英國銀行家控制下的英國議會剝奪了殖民地的發幣權，造成了失業和不滿，成為美國獨立戰爭爆發的主要原因。
◆ 美國第一任財政部長漢密爾頓遊說華盛頓成立中央銀行以得到外國資金入股，接受羅斯柴爾德家族的資助。
◆ 美國第一銀行關門大吉使內森勃然大怒，要給美國人一次教訓，幾個月後，爆發了英美之間的1812年戰爭，打到美國政府債台高築，最終不得不在1815年屈服，成立第二家中央銀行，羅斯柴爾德牢牢把握了它的權力。
◆ 美國第二銀行的延期申請遭到傑克遜總統的否決後，羅斯柴爾德家族所把持的歐洲主要銀行業同時收緊了美國銀根，美國陷入了嚴重的「人為」貨幣流通量劇減的境地，最終引發了1837年恐慌，經濟陷入衰退長達5年之久。
◆ 與輝格黨關鍵人物亨利.克雷圍繞私有中央銀行和獨立財政系統鬥爭的哈里森和泰勒兩任總統都先後神秘去世。
◆ 美國和澳大利亞的黃金大發現打破了歐洲金融家對黃金供應量的絕對控制。國際銀行家採取金融上控制、政治上分化的策略造成了1857年恐慌。
◆ 「倫敦、巴黎和法蘭克福軸心」的銀行家們正是美國南北戰爭的幕後黑手。南北戰爭從根本上看，是國際金融勢力及其代理人與美國政府激烈爭奪美國國家貨幣發行權和貨幣政策的利益之爭。
◆ 林肯讓政府自己發行新幣深深刺痛了國際金融寡頭的根本利益。南北戰爭後，在戰爭中一直為南方提供巨額金融支持的國際銀行家損失慘重。為了報復和顛覆林肯的貨幣新政，他們嚴密策划了刺殺林肯的行動。
◆ 國際銀行家在與美國政府經歷了百年的激烈較量之後，完全佔了上風。
