Thomas Jefferson was deeply skeptical of banking institutions and their influence over the government. One of his most famous quotes on the subject is:
“I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”
— Letter to John Taylor, May 28, 1816
Another powerful statement:
“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.”
— Attributed to Jefferson (though no direct source has been found in his writings, it reflects his well-documented opposition to central banking.)
Jefferson was a fierce opponent of Alexander Hamilton’s idea of a centralized national bank, arguing that it would lead to corruption, excessive debt, and control by financial elites rather than the people. His warnings remain relevant today, as central banks, fiat currency, and corporate financial institutions exert significant control over economies and governments worldwide.
Thomas Jefferson’s warnings about banks and corporations growing powerful enough to deprive people of their property align closely with the concept of commercial nations—entities that prioritize profit over morality, loyalty, or national sovereignty.
Jefferson feared that financial institutions and corporate monopolies would eventually control the economy and the government itself, making decisions based purely on economic interests rather than the well-being of the people. This mirrors how modern multinational corporations operate today—transcending borders, influencing governments, and prioritizing financial gain over national interests or ethical considerations.
In essence, the “commercial nations”—where money, not morality, drives decisions—are exactly what Jefferson feared. Today, global banking institutions, corporations, and financial elites wield power beyond national borders, often dictating economic policies, influencing laws, and consolidating control in ways that resemble the New World Order idea of a borderless, centralized economic system.
Jefferson’s insights highlight an early recognition of what we now see in globalized economies, corporate-controlled governance, and international financial manipulation—where the pursuit of wealth overrides national sovereignty and public welfare.
Commercial and banking interests have played a significant role in nearly every major war, often shaping conflicts to serve financial and geopolitical agendas. Wars have historically been profitable enterprises for banks, corporations, and powerful elites, enabling them to expand influence, seize resources, consolidate power, and control economies.
War of 1812
- The war was partly driven by economic tensions, including British restrictions on American trade and banking interests wanting to expand U.S. financial influence.
- The Second Bank of the United States was established in 1816 after the war, consolidating financial power.
Civil War (1861–1865)
- Northern industrialists and banking interests profited immensely from war financing and war production.
- The National Banking Act (1863) centralized financial power, setting the stage for modern banking control.
- European banking families, such as the Rothschilds, had interests in both Union and Confederate financing.
Spanish-American War (1898)
- Driven by economic and corporate interests, particularly for control over Cuba, the Philippines, and Caribbean trade routes.
- Media magnates like William Randolph Hearst used propaganda to manufacture consent for war, benefiting investors in sugar, railroads, and finance.
World War I (1914–1918)
- U.S. banking elites, like J.P. Morgan, heavily financed the Allied powers, making American entry into the war necessary to ensure loan repayment.
- The war led to the creation of the Federal Reserve (1913), consolidating banking power to fund large-scale wars.
World War II (1939–1945)
- Major U.S. corporations, including Ford, IBM, Standard Oil, and Chase Bank, had financial ties to both Allied and Axis powers before and during the war.
- The war allowed the U.S. dollar to replace the British pound as the global reserve currency, centralizing economic control.
- The Bretton Woods Agreement (1944) positioned banking elites at the helm of post-war financial reconstruction.
Vietnam War (1955–1975)
- Heavily influenced by military-industrial complex interests, including major defense contractors like Lockheed Martin and Boeing.
- The war drained U.S. gold reserves, leading to Nixon ending the gold standard (1971), effectively handing over monetary policy to banking elites.
Gulf War (1991) & Middle East Conflicts (2001–Present)
- Centered around oil, financial dominance, and military-industrial profits.
- Post-9/11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were fueled by corporate interests in oil, arms, and private military contracting (e.g., Halliburton, Blackwater).
- The Petrodollar system (requiring oil to be traded in U.S. dollars) has kept the Middle East in constant conflict, ensuring banking elites maintain control over global finance.
Israel-Palestine Conflict
- Heavily influenced by geopolitical financial interests in arms sales, land control, and international banking.
- The region’s instability allows continued foreign financial aid and military sales, enriching defense contractors and banking institutions.
Serving the Fincial Elite
Wars have consistently served the financial elite, ensuring profits, economic control, and global influence at the expense of human lives, national sovereignty, and individual liberty. Debt-financed wars, facilitated by central banks, have trapped nations in cycles of conflict, funding both sides when convenient and leaving the people to bear the costs—whether through taxation, inflation, or loss of freedoms.
The rise of commercial nations, driven purely by profit and control, appears to be leading toward a global consolidation of power—a worldwide corporate-technocratic dictatorship that systematically erodes individual property rights, personal freedoms, and national sovereignty.
How Commercial Nations Are Enslaving Humanity
Corporate-Government Mergers (Fascism by Another Name)
- Multinational corporations and central banks now wield more power than nation-states, dictating policy through lobbying, international trade agreements, and financial institutions like the IMF and World Bank.
- Private equity firms (like BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street) control vast amounts of real estate, food production, media, and technology. They are actively consolidating industries and centralizing power.
- Governments act as enforcers for these corporate interests, using laws, taxation, and regulations to benefit large corporations while suffocating small businesses and individual entrepreneurs.
War and Economic Manipulation as Tools of Enslavement
- War is a business model, used to destabilize nations, seize resources, and enforce compliance.
- Financial institutions use debt-based economies to enslave both individuals and nations. The fiat currency system (backed by debt, not tangible assets) ensures that people are perpetually working to pay off never-ending financial obligations.
- Central banks (Federal Reserve, ECB, IMF, BIS, etc.) manipulate currency values, interest rates, and debt cycles to maintain control over governments and populations.
Digital Control Grid: The Technocratic Takeover
- Cashless societies and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) will allow governments and corporations to control every transaction and even dictate how and where people can spend their money.
- Mass surveillance systems (AI-powered facial recognition, digital IDs, social credit scores) ensure that dissent is punished and obedience is rewarded.
- Geo-fencing and smart cities could physically restrict people’s movement based on arbitrary rules set by centralized authorities.
The Endgame: A Neo-Feudalistic Global Dictatorship
- The goal is not just centralized control, but ownership of everything by the ruling elite—a modern feudal system where individuals own nothing and rent everything under corporate-state overlords.
- The World Economic Forum (WEF) openly promotes the idea of “You will own nothing and be happy,” signaling their intent to strip people of property rights and personal autonomy.
- Governments are increasingly using “climate policies” and “social responsibility” narratives to justify land grabs, farming restrictions, and population control measures.
How to Resist the Commercial Nation Enslavement Model
Decentralize Power – Support local businesses, independent farms, and alternative financial systems (gold, silver, crypto).
Reject Digital Control Mechanisms – Avoid biometric surveillance, resist digital IDs, and use cash where possible.
Expose and Educate – Spread awareness of how commercial nations are using corporate-state alliances to consolidate power.
Reclaim Sovereignty – Push back against unconstitutional laws and globalist policies that strip individual rights and national sovereignty.
Conclusion
The consolidation of commercial and financial power is not just about making money—it is about total control over humanity. The endgame is a worldwide, corporate-run dictatorship where people are reduced to digital slaves in a system designed to benefit only the elites. Recognizing this pattern is the first step toward breaking free.
