Welcome to a special section on the book, WHY WE ARE ALWAYS BROKE: THINGS
WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE ECONOMY.
This is a rewrite of a previous book, Surrogate Wars: A Real Look At Wars.
This site is for anyone who would like to learn more about the book, the author, any
many other questions.
This is a short synopsis of some of the key points in the book
SYNOPSIS
The book begins with a description of how Native Americans were sold GUNS AND
DEBT resulted.
They were forced to give up their LAND IN PAYMENT FOR DEBT.
This is the first in a series of many cases of ECONOMIC EXPLOITATION LINKED TO
WAR.
For almost 400 years CENTRAL BANKS HAVE PLACED GOVERNMENTS IN DEBT.
CENTRAL BANKS ARE PRIVATELY OWNED BANKS.
Most CENTRAL BANKS ISSUE A NATIONS CURRENCY.
This CURRENCY IS A GOVERNMENT DEBT OWED TO THE CENTRAL BANK.
WAR is a primary TOOL FOR CREATING DEBT. Much of our NATIONAL DEBT IS
LINKED TO WAR.
DEBT CONTROLS PEOPLE.
In recent years ISLAMIC NATIONS have realized that they are being ECONOMICALLY
EXPLOITED.
Several ISLAMIC NATIONS ARE ATTEMPTING TO ASSUME CONTROL OF THEIR OWN
ECONOMY.
The book also examines some of the ECONOMIC STRUCTURES WHICH HAVE
FOSTERED THIS ECONOMIC EXPLOITATION:
The BANK FOR INTERNATIONAL SETTLEMENTS NATO WORLD BANK
GATT WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION
This book deals with the following issues and questions.

IMPLICATIONS OF THE ORIGINAL TITLE "SURROGATE WARS"
A surrogate is someone who acts in place of another. The title implies that the people
who fight our war, the ones who push the wars, sell them to the general public and do
the many jobs who make the war possible are not the ones the benefit from the war.
They are not the ones who really desire the war. The title advises the reader to be
prepared to look at and find the real beneficiaries of our wars.
THOSE WHO SHOULD READ WHY WE ARE ALWAYS BROKE
Ever wonder how wars, national debt and political assassinations are related? Ever
question what the national debt really is? To whom is it owed? By whom is it owed?
Ever suspect we are not being told the truth about any of these important questions?
If you answer "yes" to any one of these questions you want to read WHY WE ARE
ALWAYS BROKE. If you answer "yes" to all of them you DEFINITELY want to read
WHY WE ARE ALWAYS BROKE.
THOSE WHO PROFIT FROM WAR
War and especially who profits from war is the central question in the book. It looks at
some of the underlying institutions which help promote wars. Who finances wars?
Who profits from wars? It looks at several financial and political organizations that
have been created in the last 100 years as a result of war. Several treaties signed at
the end of wars are examined and the economic impact of those treaties are
examined. A central thesis of the book is that individuals and nations are controlled by
keeping them in debt. War is a principal means of creating debt.
President Eisenhower, a great military hero, warned us before leaving office in 1961
that every dollar spent on war or defense ultimately was money taken from education,
health care, and other needs of our people.
The book also looks at the national debt which has grown so immensely in recent
years. The debt was due in large part to war. Someone profiited from that huge
expense. To find out who, read the book.
THE BOOK IS UNIQUE.
One of the main reasons I wrote the book was because I could not find the answers to
the questions I was asking. The book examines how money has been used as a tool
for manipulation throughout history. Crumley begins by discussing the deals between
European settlers and American Indians, which forced the natives into debt. Then,
Crumley takes readers into the early 20th century. Central banks were created in
Europe to gain control of less wealthy nations by exercising a credit system. The
power of these institutions expanded rapidly during the expensive rebuilding efforts
that were necessary after World Wars I and II.
The book also describes the potent influence of America's central bank, the Federal
Reserve, on this country and others. Crumley writes how this system of private
bankers has manipulated the U.S. Government by propagating debt. He details the
main purpose of the Federal Reserve issued money, which he says is to fund
weapons manufacturing and U.S. Military activity.
In addition, Crumley discusses how prior to his death John F. Kennedy's attempts to
loosen the Federal Reserve's grip on the government. Crumley shares his research
on the United Nations, the Bank for International Settlements and NATO,and shows
how these organizations have influenced global interactions. He also writes how, after
years of being manipulated, some nations in the Middle East are fighting back by
implementing new economic systems.
THE BOOK IS ACCURATE.
One of the top aides of Governor Blanco of Louisiana called the book "alarmingly
accurate". The book contains 175 quotes from notes and materials of persons who are
directly involved in decisions which lead us to war. One review of "Surrogate Wars"
calls the book: "A thoroughly researched and enlightening examination of the
financial fuel behind military endeavors." WHY WE ARE ALWAYS BROKE offers an
even more important perspective on historic events and today's conflicts."
INFORMATION YOU WILL NOT FIND ELSEWHERE
The book looks at the very radical economic reforms President Kennedy was
implementing in the summer of 1963, just prior to his assassination. The book notes
that no one looked at these economic forces in investigating the death of JFK. Yet
these reforms were the most radical and far reaching acts of his abbreviated
administration. The measures were abandoned immediately after his death. The book
looks at the warning given to us in the final "State of the Union" address of
President Eisenhower in 1961.
Why We Are Always Broke also looks at the political steps several Islamic nations are
taking to enable them to regain their economic integrity. It looks at the Egyptian
constitution, a Pakistan Supreme Court outlawing usury, and the attempt of several
Islamic nations to form a coalition and create their own central banks based on real
resources rather than on debt.
CONNECTIONS NO ONE ELSE MAKES.
The book looks at the international monetary system in place today. It examines how
war played a very central factor in creating this system. The book examines the
economic forces which drive war. Chapter three looks at the evolution of central
banks. These banks are almost always private institutions owned and run by bankers.
But these central banks take over the role of creating money. They determine the
economic policy of nations. Our own central bank, the Federal Reserve, performs
these duties in violation of our constitution.
WHY WE ARE ALWAYS BROKE looks at The Bank For International Settlements set up
at the end of World War 1. The stated intention of the bank was to create a fund which
would enable Germany and several other European nations to pay off the debt they
had incurred as a result of World War 1. A large portion of that debt was owed to the
United States of America. According to the plan agreed upon, the USA was to put up
the bulk of the money. These funds would form the capital of the bank. Interest
accruing from this money would be used to pay off the debt, most of which was owed
to the USA.
THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT WARS
The book looks at what really causes wars, who profits from war, who pushes war.
The titles of the various chapter give a good description of the book.
Chapter 1 "Wards of the Government" describes how Native Americans, self
supporting indigenous nations, were subdued by placing them in debt that eventually
forced them to cede their land and they became wards of the government.
Chapter 2 "Not Just The Indians" details how war and debt was used to place others
into a position that led them to be wards of government/
Chapter 3 "Wards of the Banks" describes how governments themselves were forced
into debt by a series of large central banks who issued currency which only increased
each nation\'s debt.
Chapter 4 "The Federal Reserve" describes our own central bank, the Federal
Reserve. It was patterned after older European central banks and designed to place
our own national government in debt to and under the control of the Federal Reserve.
Chapter 5 "The Role of War" describes how European colonial empires fell after World
War Two and the United States took over as colonial master of the world with certain
dire consequences.
Chapter 6 "The Remedies of War" describes the internationalization of finances after
world Wars One and Two. It also shows how the United Nations was formed by an
international group of financiers and describes the unsuccessful attempt of President
Kennedy to change this direction. His assassination ended his attempt to make such
changes.
Chapter 7 "Inevitable Results of War" describes the growth of the military, industrial
complex and multi national corporations as a result of war.
THE ISRAELI FACTOR
WHY WE ARE ALWAYS BROKE describes how Great Britain began and actually took
over the process of creating a Zionist state. Britain was interested in obtaining control
of Near East shipping. Finally in the 1940's the state of Israel was created. Great Britain
agreed to ensure the rights of the Muslims and other non Jews in the area.
In fact Great Britain did not take steps to insure the rights of non Jews. In the first
three years 700,000 Israelis entered the new state. So over 600,000 Arabs were
expelled from the areas and had to seek homes in refugee camps. The situation only
became worse. Eventually the United States was forced to try and pick up the pieces.
Two major attempts (The Camp David Accord in 1979 and the Oslo Agreement in 1993
)were made to bring order into the area but neither were successful.
The main issues in Israel have not been religious or political but economic.
JOHN KENNEDY'S DEATH
For the last fifteen months of his term as President, John Kennedy took several steps
to restore economic stability to the United States and to cut back on our military,
especially foreign military, expenses. He began steady cutbacks in our military and
military spending. He attempted to place control of our money back in the hands of
our government rather than a group of private bankers. Kennedy planned to spend
less money on European defense. He was cutting back our personnel in Vietnam and
hoping within a few years to totally pull them out.
Kennedy was attempting to stop the flow of gold from the USA. He was attempting to
put the control of our money back in the hands of our government. This was in direct
opposition to the plan of the international bankers who were attempting to set up a
single world economy.
With the death of John Kennedy American involvement in Vietnam intensified. Aid to
Israel was increased. Attempts to base the U.S. economy on a real asset rather than
on debt were halted.
Despite the fact that Kennedy was acting in direct opposition to the most influential
and powerful monetary groups in the world, no mention was made of this in any
investigation of his assassination.
A HISTORY OF HIDDEN AGENDAS
The fact that weapons of mass destruction were never found have Americans
questioning the reasons behind the Iraqi invasion. In his book, WHY WE ARE ALWAYS
BROKE William Crumley offers insight into today's conflicts by revealing a history of
hidden agendas. In the book, he examines how money has been used as a tool of
manipulation throughout history. Crumley begins by discussing the deals between
European settlers and American Indians, which forced the natives into debt. Then,
Crumley takes readers into the early 20th century. Central banks were created in
Europe to gain control of less wealthy nations by means of a credit system. The power
of these institutions expanded rapidly during the expensive rebuilding efforts that
were necessary after World Wars I and II. All of these hidden agendas helped forced
national governments into huge debt .
CENTRAL BANKS
Central banks were created in Europe to gain control of less wealthy nations by
exercising a credit system. The power of these institutions expanded rapidly during
the expensive rebuilding efforts that were necessary after World Wars I and II.
WHY WE ARE ALWAYS BROKE also describes the potent influence of America's
central bank, the Federal Reserve, on this country and others. This system of private
bankers has manipulated the U.S. Government by propagating debt. The book details
the main purpose of the Federal Reserve issued money, which is to fund weapons
manufacturing and U.S. Military activity. In addition, the book discusses John F.
Kennedy's attempt before his death to loosen the Federal Reserve's grip on the
government .
ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISM
Underlying the entire book is the question of social justice, a prominent issue in
Christian churches in the last 50 years. The book looks at the breakdown of some
basic religious values in particular the attitude of churches toward usury. Originally
usury was condemned and outlawed by Jewish, Christian, and Islamic teaching.
Today only Islam maintains a strict condemnation of usury. Jewish opposition to
usury began to wane when the large central banks become controlled by Jewish
bankers.
Christian opposition (especially Catholic opposition) began to wane when the Vatican
formed its own international bank. Usury is still a system contrary to the Old
Testament and to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The book looks at present day Islamic
teaching which still forbids usury and Islamic policy which is setting up economic
systems which forbid usury. The book gives a good insight into the gap between
Islamic and Judeo-Christian thought. It offers an insight into the underlying issues
behind many present days conflicts in the Middle East.
THE EFFECTS OF WAR
We are very aware of the bombing and devastation created by war. We lament the
loss of life. We do not often see the more long term effects of war that are created by
the implementation of certain economic policies.
A year before the end of World War 2 a conference was held at Bretton Woods, New
Hampshire. This conference set up some of the tools eventually to be used by the
United Nations. The structure of the World Bank was set up at this conference. It took a
slightly different spin than the Bank For International Settlements. Instead of settling
war debts this bank loaned money to third world nations for "development" . This so
called development allowed mega-corporations to come into third world nations and
set up large industrial complexes.
This "development" had several consequences. 1) It destroyed local and native land
use patterns. 2) It forced people off of the land which they had used to sustain their
existence. 3) It brought in outside corporations who took over the land and evicted
people from it. 4) It created large debts owed by the governments of these nations.
WHAT WE ARE NOT TOLD IN HISTORY CLASS.
The untold part of history has usually been the economic. The evolution of central
banks and its consequences, the role of central banks in forming history, the role
played by debt in international relations, the economic impact of war, the economic
institutions created by war, and the economic factors underlying the death of
President Kennedy are not told in history books. WHY WE ARE ALWAYS BROKE does
tell those stories.
WHAT WAR TREATIES TELL US.
One of the main ways we can see the underlying reasons for wars is to examine the
treaties which end the war. One of the main reasons for the American Revolution was
to break English economic control of its North American colony. The colonists even
pledged to cut back on their life style so they would not be under British economic
control. The colonists went so far as to say they would ban English commerce. The
colonists won the war and England was granted full trading rights and full access to
the Mississippi River.
At the end of both major world wars there were international banks set up to control
international trade and oversee the exchange of commerce. Even the apparently
"military" parts of the treaties were more about international trade and commerce.
