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 SURROGATE WARS 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 Surrogate Wars. If you answer "yes" to all of them you DEFINITELY want to read Surrogate Wars. ISBN 1-4184-0343-1 TITLE Surrogate Wars: A Real Look At Wars AUTHOR Rev. William Crumley CSC PUBLISHER AUTHORHOUSE THOSE WHO PROFIT FROM WAR War and especially who profits from war is the central question in Surrogate Wars: A Real Look At Wars.  The book 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.  In Surrogate Wars, he examines how money has been used as a manipulation tool 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. Surrogate Wars 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 John F. Kennedy's attempts to loosen the Federal Reserve's grip on the government before his death. Crumley shares his research on the United Nations, the Bank for International Settlements and NATO,and shows how these organizations have influences 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, Surrogate Wars offers an important perspective on historic events and today's conflicts." A thoroughly researched and enlightening examination of the financial fuel behind military endeavors, Surrogate Wars offers an 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. Surrogate Wars: A Real Look At Wars 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 decision of the 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. Surrogate Wars: A Real Look At Wars looks at the international monetary system in place today. The book examines how war played a very central factor in creating this system. The book examines the economic forces which drive war.  Chapter two 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. Surrogate Wars: A Real Look At Wars 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 owed. 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 "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 3 "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 4 "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 5 "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 6 "Inevitable Results of War" describes the growth of the military, industrial complex and multi national corporations as a result of war. THE ISRAELI FACTOR Surrogate Wars 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 placed 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, Surrogate Wars: A Real Look at Wars William Crumley offers insight into today's conflicts by revealing a history of hidden agendas. In Surrogate Wars, he examines how money has been used as a manipulation tool 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. All of these hidden agendas helped forced nations into the debt of large governments. 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. Surrogate Wars 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 attempts to loosen the Federal Reserve's grip on the government before his death. 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. Surrogate Wars: A Real Look At Wars 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.
