(Left: Mark Carney, top Kingpin of the vipers enslaving and destroying the West and the World.)
There we have it folks. The next round in the Crunch is here, and Central Banks have suddenly started saying that a Gold Standard will be necessary to start anew.
The Gold Standard will force an excruciating deleveraging, austerity, deflation, and depression, and bring immense pain to the masses.
The Real Populists have been warning against the coming Gold Standard as the Banker Master Plan to destroy America for decades. The Libertarians in the Truth Movement have a lot of explaining to do, for continuing selling the Banker Plan to the uninitiated.
By Anthony Migchels, for HenryMakow.com
Consider the events of the last few weeks.
First Mark Carney, boss of the Bank of England makes an incredible speech, simply announcing the end of the US Dollar’s reserve currency status, and succession by an IMF generated and controlled World Reserve Currency. He went on to say the coming crises would be used to facilitate the transition.
Then two weeks ago, the FED’s repo rate suddenly spiked to 10% (!!). It’s supposed to be sitting at about 0%. The Banks weren’t lending to each other, that’s what caused the crisis. The FED had to dole out $75 Billion to get things under control.
Then over the weekend, the FED suddenly announced it would start Quantitative Easing 4.0, even though they don’t want to call it that, as they don’t want to admit the gravity of the situation. But it was pretty much an open secret that it would be inevitable.
And now major Central Banks are saying that we will need a Gold Standard after a reset.
Now have a look at this graph, courtesy David Jensen:
This is the trend of M2 growth over the last few decades. As you can see, the money supply has stopped growing, while it needs to grow quite substantially to keep the interest-charges payable. As a result, there is less and less money available in the real economy, and this is hammering economic activity.
It is the result of the FED’s tightening policies, raising rates and so called ‘tapering’, taking the cash they injected to keep things going after the 2008 crash out of the economy again.
As we can see, the results have been disastrous. We’re now at 2008 levels of money growth, and a major crash is all but unavoidable, and has already begun.
Of course, this is not caused by ‘incompetence’. The FED knows exactly what it has been doing, and many commentators have been pointing it out. Even Trump was on their case about it. In fact, it must have been quite unnerving for them, to do it while all the initiated saw it clear as day. On the other hand, the effects of this must not be overstated. It’s over for the FED, they will be soon replaced. They will get the blame for everything, and everybody hates their guts, and the FED’s owners have had their successor ready for a very long time now. The real managers and owners of the System will of course remain the same, they’re just conveniently changing their vehicle, as they have so many times, in so many countries throughout Modernity.
The Coming Gold Standard
The Bankers have routinely switched between Gold and Credit based systems, and it’s always the same: credit if they want to create debt and inflate, Gold Standards, when they want deflation and associated depression. They went paper based money in 1914, to finance the War. Their man Winston Churchill reinstated the Gold Standard for the Bankers in 1925. It duly led to scarcity of money, and a terrible crash. Germany left the Gold Standard in 1931, but only under Hitler and Schacht did the economy get reflated, something that only happened in the US and Britain when the War started.
After the War, all currencies were tied to the Dollar, which in turn could be converted into Gold. This was mainly to drain America’s Gold Reserves, and this worked like a charm. When America lost most of its Gold, it closed the Gold window, and since then Gold convertibility was over. And now it’s back to Gold again.
Of course, the Gold Standards of the 19th Century were all Rothschild controlled: Rothschild controlled the Bank of England, which ruled through the Pound Sterling as World Reserve Currency. The same people are obviously behind the FED, and the coming Gold Standard.
The Twenties are going to be terrible. The West’s free fall will escalate. America is the main target and will get hit beyond belief. Before the decade is over, the American Empire will be gone: they simply won’t be able to afford these 800 foreign bases and $1 Trillion fighter gadgets, and $8 Trillion Middle Eastern extravaganzas anymore.
But rest assured the Pentagon will demand Social Security, State Pensions, and Food Stamps must go first. And that they will get their way.
The Empire’s demise will leave a huge power vacuum, and will create only vastly more chaos all over the World.
Conclusion
This is the big one. We all know it had been coming. Mark Carney simply spelled it out and was kind enough to give a time table.
The West is facing destruction, it’s all out war against us by the Money Power.
There will be huge confrontations between the Peoples of the World and ‘elites’. Nobody will be able to deny anymore that we face an existential war against the Plutocracy. We can’t afford to be distracted by the losers (migrants, for instance) anymore.
And the truth is that our owners have been preparing for centuries for this. They will have a few tricks up their sleeves, doubt it not.
It is going to be us, the Peoples of the World, the working people, the normal people everywhere, or it’s going to be the hyper rich. There is not place for both of us. We can have a World where everybody does his bit, and shares in the rewards, or we can have a few parasites marching all of us off into debt slavery and annihilation.
The sooner we make peace with this, the better it is. Because it is the Truth, and things have been out of control for really way too long already.

Why Gold Is So Strongly Deflationary
The Inflation vs. Deflation Dialectic
I’ve done something that I managed to avoid for ten years: write about something not directly related to Usury and the Monetary on this website.
To be honest: I never really, really felt that inclination. And I’m also not really, really sorry I did it now. But I do realize I might have tested the patience of some of you.
I’ve written about just about every social, political, historical issue that has ever seriously crossed my mind on Facebook, which, for a while, was a warm bath for many of us lonely truth seekers. Facebook is less one sided, and more interactive, and for a few years, I had a great many threads there with hugely smart and fun people. Now it’s mostly gone, of course. The coolest people are either removed, or forced to be good boys. I can only survive a few days per month on there before I get blocked again for thirty days for saying something hateful.
But these last few posts were perhaps not about money, but also not for Facebook. It’s a major revelation, and while I already had it in May this year, it’s only because of a post on Henry Makow’s site, that I got really triggered. And I had to get it out there.
And ultimately, make no mistake, the link to Usury is really quite evident. Studying money and the Conspiracy, over the years I’ve come to see the Bible as the most profound source about the true nature of Babylon. Babylon = Usury!, I once wrote. And it’s true, but while Usury is the core of their Worldly power, it is ultimately driven by a spiritual war, and this has never been a secret here at Real Currencies.
Not only that: people expect cutting edge material from Real Currencies, and God knows you have gotten some, although I’m fully aware it’s not for everyone.
Or is it?! We’re all scientists, right?! Well, this is science. It’s not about the (obviously quite major) implications for religion and spirituality. I’ve said nothing about that, and make no claims whatsoever about the veracity of the ‘miracles’ in the Torah. Only about the basic idea that Israel invaded Canaan and genocided everybody and took over the whole lot as a historical fact.
Surely, that is for everyone, uncomfortable as it may be. Because the Bible will continue to enflame controversy, and few people can consider it calmly. But I never set out to prove anything. It was just a flash of insight. It was thrown into my lap. All I ever did was being curious as to what might have happened, while being resigned to never knowing, as that had been the fate of people for God knows how long.
Having said all this: this subject of Israel and the Bronze Age Collapse clearly, clearly deserves its own domain, and its own readers, just as much as Usury deserves Real Currencies and the people here.
It’s going to be http://www.israelcausedthebronzeagecollapse.com
It’s still under construction and closed for the public. I will need a few days to get the basics up there.
The mission will be to simply state the basic case, with its proof. Those who have fathomed the last few articles will already know most (I have few more tricks up my sleeve, though, so stay tuned at the new place), but it’ll be presented in a comprehensive, and concise format. WordPress has already been installed, and we have the theme selected that best serves this purpose. Associated will be a blog roll to deal with relevant actualities, and hopefully discussions and challenges, but the website itself will primarily be a presentation of the case.
Below you can find a draft of the introduction.
And now, after this, here at Real Currencies, we will return to the ever more pressing matter of Monetary Reform.
Thank you for your patience.

Introduction
Moses died in Moab around 1177 BC. He had meticulously planned the destruction of the Hittites and the Amorites. He was succeeded by Joshua, who led the invasion of Canaan.
Joshua waged a few major battles in the South of Canaan, destroying the Amorites there, and what remained of Egyptian influence in the area. Next he turned North, where he utterly destroyed the Hittites, including at Kadesh, where a century earlier the Hittites repelled a mighty Egyptian invasion.
The destruction of the Hittites was a decisive blow, that ended the Bronze Age, already teetering on the brink of collapse.
After this campaign, which took years to complete, Canaan was entirely subdued and depopulated, and firmly in Israel’s hands. Neither the Amorites, nor the remaining Great Powers Egypt and the Assyrians, could threaten them.
Joshua died around 1168, after which the period of the Judges began.
Around 1000 BC, the Kingdom of Israel appears on the Mainstream map. From then on, Israel’s history is well known, and accepted by Science.
The fact that Israel was the successor State in Canaan, after the Collapse, is clear proof in itself that Israel was the victor and main beneficiary of what transpired in Canaan during the Collapse of around 1177 BC.
Exodus happened circa 1208 BC. The only Egyptian record of Israel is of around that year, and can well be read as the Egyptian propaganda account of the event.
The only reason people have not realized this earlier, is that they have always religiously followed the Biblical Timeline, which puts Moses in the 16th Century BC. But no real archaeological proof of his assertions could ever be found in that time span, and as a result, Mainstream Science considers Moses a legendary figure, and his narrative myth.
But Mainstream science has a fairly good idea of what happened during the Bronze Age Collapse in Canaan, they just don’t know who did it.
We will prove, with very simple, very direct, easily understandable, basically self evident facts, that:
1. The claims of Moses and Joshua in the Torah and Joshua’s Book fit hand in glove with what the Mainstream asserts that happened during the Bronze Age Collapse.
2. That the Biblical timeline, which is not part of the Bible, but merely a convention of men, is obviously incorrect in the era before the Kings: before the written accounts, the dating is simply wrong, and based on the ‘generations’ of 40 years, massively ballooning the timeline, putting Moses much further back than he was.
3. That the timeline can be easily repaired from about 1010 BC accurate now, to at least 1208 BC.
4. That the Torah is thus the first hand account of the winners of the Bronze Age Collapse, and a major historical text.
5. And that we finally know who destroyed the Hittites, the Canaanite Tribes and Kingdoms, and to a lesser extent the Assyrians and Egyptians, solving one of the greatest mysteries in Mainstream history and archaeology.
(Left: Solomon’s Temple)
The Biblical Timeline doesn’t start to make any sense until about 1000 BC, when the first written texts by Israel appear, and the Biblical account can be validated by observable facts in Canaan. The building of Solomon’s Temple is such an observable, established fact. As is the rise of Israel and Judah as the next powers in Canaan about the same time.
The charitable explanation is that we are witnessing the slow migration of the oral tradition to written accounts. The exact timeline could have been lost by the scribes and priests and judges that were the custodians of Israel’s history previous to the written record.
There is simply no proof for Moses’ or Joshua’s assertions in the 15th, 14th, and 13th centuries BC. No Egyptian records, no archaeological evidence.
So this a very concrete issue.
Several things go wrong with the biblical timeline.
In the first place, the Bible is famous for expositions of bloodlines. John begat Jack, who begat, Joe, who begat Jake. In biblical parlance, this is called ‘the generations’.
The scribes who were writing down the oral tradition apparently had problems with remembering the timeline, and they solved this by simply claiming that a generation is 40 years. So for the coming and going of a man of public office, they would simply assume 40 years had passed.
The period of the Judges, which begins after Joshua’s death, is the last period where there are real questions concerning the timeline, although already more is known. For instance, Deborah, the only female Jewish Prophet, is accepted by Mainstream history, as opposed to Moses and Joshua, who are rejected by science because of the lack of proof in the biblical timeline.
(Above: the list of Judges that ruled Israel before the Kings, as described in the Book of Judges.)
As we can see, the first few Judges are said to have ruled 40, 80, 40, and 40 years.
This is not the reality. What happened is, that the oral tradition remembered the names, but not exactly their times. So they settled for the ‘generations’ approach, simply going for 40 years per Judge, with the exception of Ehud, of which they apparently knew he ruled for two generations.
As we can see from this list, the Judges of which the exact length of their rule is known, all ruled substantially shorter than forty years. In fact, the average length of their administrations was 11,2 years.
As we can see, assuming that a generation is 40 years, while practice shows an average of 11,2 years, will quickly massively balloon the Timeline. Had these first 4 judges of which they say they ruled 40, 80, 40, and 40 years (totaling 200 years) had reigned a similar timespan, with a double for Ehud, their combined rule would have lasted 5 x 11,2 = 56 years.
In this way we can see that Moses and Joshua would already have been misplaced a full 144 years. This goes already half way in explaining the three centuries difference between the biblical, and our timeline concerning Moses’ birth.
Anno Mundi
The second problem is, that the creators of the timeline, mostly Saducee/Pharisee scribes, have been trying to fit world history from Creation until the re-dedication of the Second Temple by the Maccabees (164 BCE) in 4000 years.
Their methodology is to say the events described in Genesis 1 (Creation) happened in Anno Mundi 1, and the rededication of the Second Temple Anno Mundi 4000.
Next, they claim Exodus is on exactly two thirds of this timeline (AM 2666), and exclaim: “look, what an important event! It happened at exactly two thirds of the first 4000 years!”
It is based on nothing. It is a purely literary device and has nothing to do with science or historiography. This is pure poetry, or worse, national myth making territory.
Don’t get me wrong: I’m not denying (nor confirming) that the date of Creation could possibly be gathered from the Bible. The levels of narration (including the Bible Code) are really incredibly subtle, and cannot be negated by a rational mind who knows what he’s talking about.
The Creation story of the Scientism Religion (’15 billion years ago, there was nothing, and suddenly there was a Big Bang. Everything came into existence by chance, which is why we now have these perfectly engineered human bodies.’) is no less obscure, and there is not more evidence for their propositions than there is for Genesis’ account. ‘Science’, as is historiography, is dominated by politics, not by truth seeking. Those in control of the allocation of budget for this kind of research, allocate funds for their own agenda, not for God’s plan.
But using this 4000 years notion as the Law, and next trying to fit all events from before the written tradition into this timeline, even in the face of complete lack of any evidence for events having taken place in said years, this is obviously a no go.
Further complications
This ‘generation’ business has two more notable implications.
In the first place, the length of the wandering in the desert is said to have lasted 40 years. This is consistent with The Book Of Numbers’ narration, that the first generation of Israel’s men after leaving Egypt, simply refused to invade Canaan, as ordered by God and Moses, because of the seemingly insane odds.
So this puts a serious shadow of doubt over the 40 year claim. Did the writers of Exodus and Numbers decide they didn’t know the exact time span, but it had been one ‘generation’, ergo 40 years? If so, the time between Exodus and the Conquest of Canaan could well have been years shorter.
However, considering the extent of the description in the Torah, it is not so easy to just push this claim of 40 years aside, as with the rule of the Judges, who are clearly not as extensively described. It’s looking like we will have to live with a certain doubt.
But it does help to fix certain irregularities: we have seen, for instance, that if the only Egyptian mention of Israel (from 1208 BC) is about Exodus, the invasion of Canaan must have taken place in 1168 BC. But currently, I think 1177 BC is closer.
And if we’re not going to be too hung up on this 40 years claim concerning the wandering in the desert, than things fit even better than they already did.
Another problem is the claim of Moses’ age: he is said to have died at 120.
This is the maximum lifespan a man can reach, according to the Bible. Genesis 6:3: ““My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”
120 is three ‘generations’ in biblical terms: 3 x 40 = 120.
Let’s just say it all seems a little convenient, and in line with how the writers of the Bible thought.
Therefore, we must conclude that there is uncertainty concerning Moses’ real age. His date of death can be plausibly estimated to have been around 1177 BC, on the eve of the Canaanite Conquest, but his date of birth is less clear.
The Political Situation In Canaan In The 15th Century BC
“It is not from their friends, but from their enemies, that Cities learned to build high walls……..” – Homer.
Now let us have a look at Canaan 1450 BC:
This is the situation that Moses was invading according to the Biblical timeline. As we can see, Mainstream History has no indication whatsoever of any Israelite presence in the area. No Egyptian accounts, no Assyrian ones. Nothing.
What has been going on for the longest time now, is that people have been blithely assuming the Bible Timeline is correct, and started digging in the Levant for evidence of Moses’ and Joshua’s claims in that era.
Canaan was, even at that time, a really very heavily contested piece of real estate. Egypt was the default hegemon. Egypt was much more powerful than the Hittites, and had the Hittite Empire been closer to Egypt, it wouldn’t have survived for long. It is therefore natural, that it was Egypt that was filling most of the space and associated power vacuum between them. But when Egypt scrambled all its resources, and tried attacking the Hittites outright (at Kadesh) their supply lines had become too long, and the Hittites managed to fight off a major invasion on their own territory.
But besides these two, there was eternal Assyrian influence, commercial, military, political. Not to mention the Amorites, who lived in the land of Canaan during this time. They had their own Kings, but mostly as tributaries to Pharaoh, until they were crushed by Joshua, and only remnants of them survived.
Politically, most of the Mediterranean area was an assembly of City States. These would have their own walled town, a few minor additional settlements, some arable land, and a King.
Empire was basically a local King gaining dominance over a few neighbors. This was the nature of the Mesopotamian Empires, be they the Babylonians, Sumerians, Assyrians. This would last for a few decades, or even centuries. ‘Dark ages’ were periods were there was no dominant King, and the City States continued as the main political entities. The same was true of Greece, both before and after the Bronze Age Collapse, and Canaan too.
The notable exception was Egypt, which was a really remarkably stable and strongly centralized Imperial State for maybe 5000 years. Yes, many dynasties came and went, but the People and the State apparatus remained.
The height of their power was just before the Bronze Age Collapse, around the same era as the above map. The different invasions of the unruly tribes at the end of the Bronze Age weakened them. They could not threaten Israel in Canaan, nor did Israel show any interest in attacking them. As a result, Israel in Canaan was a useful buffer state for the weakened Egyptians, shielding them from Eurasian invasion, which kept them alive for 500 more years.
Then Babylon crushed Israel (around 600 BC) and in turn were themselves crushed by Cyrus and the first Persian Empire. After this, Egypt, no longer able to hide behind Israelite Canaan, came under Persian influence, until Alexander. When he died, and his generals carved up the previously Persian Empire among themselves, the Ptolemies gained Egypt. The Hellenistic era began. Egypt had a last lease of semi independence, until Caesar landed in Alexandria, in pursuit of Pompey.
This was the end of Egypt independence, but not of their wealth, which was based on the unbelievable fertility of the Nile Delta, and associated enormous grain harvests. This windfall in fact secured Roman finances for centuries to come, during their Imperial Age.
The consequences of the wrong timeline
What happened in Canaan is, that countless hamlets, towns, cities, throughout the centuries from 2000 BC right up to 2000 AD, have come and gone. Mostly because of war, invasion, plunder. Around the time of the above map, even quite minor settlements will have had walls. It was a sine qua non for survival.
As a result, there are countless very ancient spots in Canaan, archaeological sites, where they have found several layers of settlement (including walls) and destruction.
So it is really very hard to find conclusive archaeological proof of really anything. Unless people know exactly what they’re looking for, they’ll find so much, it’ll be hard to make much sense of. And this is indeed what happened.
Another feature of this state of affairs is, that Canaan is a great place for people to start digging to find what they are looking for. If you go looking for fallen walls in Jericho, for instance, you’ll find quite a few of those. You’ll even be able to date them in 1500 BC, when Moses was supposed to have lived. Not because Joshua’s attack happened then, but because there had been many previous settlements, and attacks.
It is not unfair to say that it is probably possible to prove any proposition by digging in Canaan.
Conclusion
People looked for evidence of Exodus and the Conquest of Canaan in the 1500’s BC, based on the Biblical timeline. They found both a lot, and nothing. The claims of the researchers could not be really made to stick.
As a result, Mainstream history denies the existence of Moses, and the historical relevance of his account.
But we have clearly established, that the Biblical pre 1000 BC timeline is simply completely not credible. Both the assumption of 40 years for a ‘generation’, and the literary desire to conveniently make everything fit a 4000 year time span, make this so.
We would have no business interfering with this, correct or not, other than the fact that we are proposing a major improvement of the timeline, based on overwhelming, uncontroversial historical and archaeological facts. We therefore have every right to expose the Biblical timeline and its methods, and its unpleasant consequences for historiography and archaeology.

Fixing The Biblical Timeline: Moses Died Around 1177 BC
Has The Bible Been Proven Correct As A Major Historical Text?
Encore: Israel Caused The Bronze Age Collapse!
Israel Caused The Bronze Age Collapse: War On The Nephilim
(Left: Moses by Michelangelo)
The Biblical Timeline is wrong. Moses did not live in the 15th century BC: he died in Moab, just before Joshua launched the campaign.
It looks like a cover-up.
Mainstream ‘consensus’ is that Moses did not even exist. Here’s wiki:
“Moses (/ˈmoʊzɪz, -zɪs/)[2][Note 1] was a prophet according to the teachings of the Abrahamic religions. Scholarly consensus sees Moses as a legendary figure and not a historical person,[3][4] while retaining the possibility that a Moses-like figure existed.[5][6]
Jerome gives 1592 BCE,[12] and James Ussher 1571 BCE as Moses’ birth year.[13][Note 2] ”
Jerome (347 – 420 AD) was a Church Father. He was an important theologian and historian. But that does not mean much in itself: was he just writing history? Or was he constructing it as a Pharisee?
But what we can conclude, is that already in the days of Rome, it was mostly unclear what had happened during the Bronze Age collapse. Already one and a half millennium had passed. According to the official timeline, I add once more. The reason I do this, is because the official timeline itself is highly suspect. There are reasons to believe that the Powers that Be have managed to slip in many centuries, and that the days of Rome were much closer to us than we currently believe. But that is yet another major rabbit hole, for now we’re running with the official timeline.
Again: the Battle of Troy happened probably just before the Bronze Age Collapse, or could well have been a prelude to, or outright part of the demise of the old status quo.
The first written text we have with any information about that event is Homer’s Illiad, from the 8th century BC, four centuries after the Battle. Homer dominated the Roman and Greek perspective on events, and still does today in the West. What happened beyond the collapse in Greece, which was not caused by Israel, but by the Dorians, would have been a black box for Greek, and later Roman sources. In fact, very little is known of the Dorian invasion of the Mycenaeans and Minoans. So we see that the disconnect between the Bronze Age and Israel’s claims might go way back.
Again: The Jews.
Still, Israel knew. It is Israel’s history that is under siege here. And it is not hard to fathom from which side: the Pharisees. The Synagogue of Satan that has colonized the House of Judah. It happened in Babylon, during the Exile in the 6th century BC. These fools have been messing with the texts, and obscuring the great feats of the People they usurped.
The House of Judah is only one of the Twelve Tribes. 11 tribes are missing. And it is not for nothing that the New Testament refers to the Pharisees not as Judah, but as the Jews. The Jews are not Judah. They are a Synagogue of Satan that has usurped the House of Judah through the rabbinical class (the Pharisees), financed by the Money Lenders.
The Holy Book of the Pharisees is the Talmud, a laughable and disgusting text by degenerate animals. It is their commentary of the Torah. And clearly, they do not like the Torah. The Talmud is widely considered a pure Rabbinical subversion of God’s Law. It is the Law of the Elders, that Jesus so magnificently exposed.
Not to mention, of course, that the true heart of Judaism is the Kabbalah, which is the way of Nimrod, and certainly not of our Father.
For the time being it seems very reasonable to assume, that we’re facing a Jewish obfuscation of Israel’s history. And the obfuscation probably goes back to these days. This is why the Greeks and the Romans also never knew about it: The Jews returned from Babylonian Exile to Judah’s territory, including Jerusalem, in 539 BC. Without the other tribes. The territory of the Kingdom of Israel, North of Judah, was later occupied by a people known as the Samaritans.
In 539 BC, Rome was still a completely inconsequential city state, only just having ditched the Monarchy and becoming a Republic. Athens had been going through chaos, and Solon’s reforms, and directly after that a formidable Persian invasion. They will certainly have been in extensive contact with the Levant, but not to such an extent that they left anything about their perspective of Israel, before their demise at the hands of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon around 600 BC. At that stage Greece was still basically recovering from the Bronze Age Collapse itself.
So all this certainly is consistent with the notion of a Jewish (Pharasaical) cover up of Israel’s claims about their great feats in that era. Already then, they must have been telling people Moses and Joshua lived centuries before these events. We know how it works: just keep telling the lie, mind control the young, and wait until those who still remember die out. After that, there is only fog.
Repairing the timeline
What we’re going to do now is simply assume that the Biblical account is as discussed: the invasion of Canaan and Anatolia by Israel, ending the Bronze Age. And it’s looking like this: Moses led the Tribes into Moab, the eastern shore of the Jordan. There he died, and he was succeeded by Joshua, who next invaded Jericho.
Here is again the map of Canaan, showing the locations of the events. Keep in mind, this map is of said area, but NOT of the same era, it shows Canaan in about 1000 BC, not 1177 BC, it only serves to illustrate where Moses, Joshua, and Israel were in 1177 BC.
And here is again this map, if only because it is so stunning:
I’m going to use 1177 BC as the official date of the Bronze Age Collapse. And this is ‘traditional’, these days. Which does not account for much. There is no exact date: Wiki mentions that scholars believe the collapse occurred between 1200 and 1150. What is obvious from the sheer scale of the Israelite invasion is that it must have taken years to accomplish. There is simply no way they could have done this in one campaigning season. I’m currently ploughing my way through the Book of Joshua, to get the first hand account of the General himself, but it’ll take time to digest.
What is also uncertain, is whether the Dorian, Libyan, Thracian, and Israelite invasions all happened at once. Probably they didn’t. They happened in this 1200-1150 BC time span, we don’t know exactly what happened when.
So this 1177 BC date is inaccurate, but it’s good enough to vastly improve our picture. What I’m going to do, is simply propose 1177 BC as the year that Moses died in Moab on mount Nebo, Joshua succeeded him, and he invades Canaan, with Jericho as his first target.
I’m also going to propose that Moses was the leader of the Israelites. As opposed to the Mainstream take, that he was a mythical figure, and perhaps an archetype for several leaders. His books have been messed with by the Rabbis, already back in the day, without a doubt. But we’ll see that with the repaired timeline, his narrative of the Exodus, 40 years in the desert, and next the attacks on Canaan and the Hittites under Joshua, does make perfect sense. He died, and he was succeeded. And not by some rookie: according to the Bible, Joshua was 101 when he invaded Jericho, and he died when he was 110. So his year of death must have been 1168 BC, and he must have been born in 1278 BC.
Moses is said to have lived 120 years, so dead in 1177 BC, and born in 1297 BC. He was about 20 years older than Joshua.
Note that this date of 1297 BC of Moses’ birth is a full three centuries later than Jerome’s suggestion.
And now for something special
According to the Bible, Israel’s wandering of the Arabian desert took 40 years. Not to get there, the trip could have been done in weeks, but to prepare, physically, spiritually, for the coming onslaught. As already said, according to Numbers, the fourth book of the Bible, it took the Israelites a generation to come to terms with God’s plan. The first generation simply would not do it.
This would put Exodus at 1217 BC in our timeline.
Exodus is dealt with by Wiki in similar vein as Moses himself: probably a legendary story. Because there is no historical evidence. According to the Mainstream, there is no Egyptian record of the event.
But as we have already said, if you put Moses and Joshua anywhere between 1500 and 1300 BC, and next try to look for proof, it’ll be hard to find.
In fact, the first, and only, ancient Egyptian record of Israel we have are the Merneptah Stele. According to the official timeline, they are from anywhere between 1208 and 1203 BC.
Here is what they have to say:
“The princes are prostrate, saying, “Peace!”
Not one is raising his head among the Nine Bows.
Now that Tehenu (Libya) has come to ruin,
Hatti is pacified;
The Canaan has been plundered into every sort of woe:
Ashkelon has been overcome;
Gezer has been captured;
Yano’am is made non-existent.
Israel is laid waste and his seed is not;
Hurru is become a widow because of Egypt.”
Tehenu (Libya) was undoubtedly a base of one of the ‘Sea People’. This ‘Sea People‘ business, incidentally, must be taken with a huge grain of salt. The ancient sources do not mention ‘Sea People’, they mention all sorts of tribes coming from everywhere and nowhere. All these tribes were later just lumped into one category by a French guy, in the mid 19th century. It is not relevant, and obscures, because many of these tribes attacking the Bronze Empires, had nothing to do with each other, or Israel.
Back to the Egyptian account: Hatti are the Hittites. Next they claim to have plundered Canaan, mentioning a few cities they apparently laid to waste. Hurru is also a Canaanite People.
Next they claim to have wasted Israel.
What really happened? We don’t know, but we have already seen how it works: Ramesses II (‘The Great’) invades the Hittites, gets pushed back at Kadesh, declares victory, and goes home, leaving a beautiful story for posterity that had little to do with reality, but was a great example of ancient agitprop. Myth making is, together with terror, the core business of Government. Ramesses’ ways are indistinguishable from the ways of Empire today.
We already know the above account is quite untrue: Israel lived, and would be the dominant power in Canaan for centuries to come. Clearly, this Egyptian account alludes to facts, but are not the facts, but a framing of the facts. For propaganda purposes. For domestic consumption.
This Egyptian account is more than just about Israel, who are only one of the mentioned enemies, it reports on wider struggles with threatening tribes and even the Hittites, a full 65 years after the Battle of Kadesh.
On our proposed timeline, it is only 9 years removed from Exodus. So would it be completely irresponsible of me, to translate as follows?!
There was a humiliating scandal with the Israelites, who managed to leave Egypt. Egyptian forces followed them, but lost them in the desert. Moses escaped, and the Egyptians after coming out of the other side of the Sinai desert in Canaan, took out their chagrin on some minor locals.
They claimed victory, including the annihilation of the Israelites, who had seemingly disappeared anyway, unable to rebut Pharao’s propaganda, and again: went home.
Again, this is the ONLY mention of Israel in Egyptian records. These records are 31 years before the official date of the Bronze Age Collapse. Which, considering the fog of history we’re dealing with, is not far from Moses’ claim of 40 years in the Desert.
We have already submitted that this 1177 BC date is somewhat arbitrary. Maybe we should just conclude that 1208 BC is the date of Exodus, and add 40 years to 1208 BC, which gives 1168 BC as the official starting date of Joshua’s invasion of Canaan, and following collapse of Egypt, Assyria, and especially the Hittites.
So if the official dating of the Merneptah Stele is correct, and if our framing of obvious Egypt propaganda makes sense, two big ifs, Exodus must have been just before 1208 BC, and the campaign in Canaan about 1168 BC.
Our proposed timeline
I’m going to mention both alternative timelines: based on the official date of the Bronze Age Collapse, 1177 BC, and in parentheses the date based on the 1208 BC dating of the Merneptah Stele.
Again: all this is based on the assumption that the Bible is the description of the Israelite assault on the Bronze Age Empires, leading to the Bronze Age Collapse. I’m proving nothing. I’m just revising the timeline based on said assumption.
1297 BC (1288 BC) – Birth of Moses.
1278 BC (1269 BC) – Birth of Joshua.
1217 BC (1208 BC) – Exodus. And the Egyptian account of Exodus and other wars in the Merneptah Stele.
1177 BC (1168 BC) – Death of Moses, and succession by Joshua. Invasion of Jericho.
1167 (1158) – Death of Joshua, destruction of Bronze Age Empires complete, Promised Land entirely under Israelite control. Ensuing international Dark Age.
1000 BC – Israel and Judah are recognizable Kingdoms after 150 years of repopulation and colonization. Solomon builds Israel’s First Temple in Jerusalem.
587 BC – Nebuchadnezzar conquers and destroys Jerusalem and the First Temple and takes Israel and Judah into captivity in Babylon.
539 BC – House of Judah, but not the other 11 Tribes of Israel, returns from captivity, to the territories they held before their eviction. Made possible by Cyrus and the Persian Empire, after they destroyed Babylon. Judah usurped by the Pharisees, who subvert God’s Law in the Talmud, and who have been recruited by the children of Nimrod in Babylon, learning the Kabbalah. Falsification of Israel’s history by the Jew usurper begins, putting Moses and Joshua centuries before their real date, obscuring their monumental achievements, demoting them to legend status. As a result, already the Greeks and Romans of later Antiquity (and by extension the follow up Western Civilization) are in the dark as to what happened in Canaan and Anatolia during the Bronze Age Collapse.
537 BC – Construction of the Second Temple begins. It is a fake: It is the First Temple of the Jews, NOT the Second Temple of Israel.
0 AD – Birth of Jesus.
33 AD – Jesus crucified.
70 AD – Jewish First Temple (‘Second Temple’) destroyed, Diaspora begins.
2003 AD – The Judeo-Anglo-American Empire invades Iraq, just after archaeologists have found Nimrod’s tomb. His remains are taken by the invaders. The Jews now know Nimrod’s genome.
2020 AD and beyond – Construction of the ‘Third Temple’, in fact, the Second Temple of the Jews, begins.
Conclusion
The Egyptians claim to have laid waste to Israel’s seed in 1208 BC. We know they were bluffing. Moses escaped from Egypt, and the Egyptian forces pursuing him. Israel, twelve nomadic tribes, went underground in the vast emptiness of the Arabian desert for 40 years after that escape, which is why Pharaonic propaganda could claim this.
There are no mentions of Israel after this, even when Israel becomes the only power in Canaan in the decades and centuries that follow.
So it is really very plausible that the Merneptah Stele is about Exodus, and it fits almost perfectly with our timeline.
We have proven nothing. We have only adjusted the timeline according to the assumption that the Bible is describing the Bronze Age Collapse. But the only Egyptian account we have of Israel, can easily be made to fit the suggested narrative.

Israel Caused The Bronze Age Collapse: War On The Nephilim
(Left: Joshua’s Tomb in Jordan)
Far from being the seemingly insane ramblings of some irrelevant desert dwellers, the Bible is the historical account by the winners of the greatest military campaign in Antiquity.
Moses prepared Israel for the onslaught, but it would be Joshua who led the invasion. Joshua and his men took on the three greatest Empires of the day. And they won. They vanquished Egypt, the Assyrians, and utterly annihilated the Hittites, who were never heard of again.
With this stunning new perspective, Joshua must be considered by far the greatest General of Antiquity. Only Alexander, a thousand years later, can stand in his shadow.
If you haven’t been introduced to the subject at hand, than please read the previous article ‘Encore: Israel Caused The Bronze Age Collapse!’ first.
By Anthony Migchels for HenryMakow.com
A Prelude: The Battle Of Kadesh
The oldest battle in Antiquity that we have serious documentation of, is the Battle of Kadesh in 1279. This is only a hundred years before the Bronze Age Collapse, and in the same area, and gives a good idea of how far back we’re actually talking.
The legendary Battle of Troy is said to have taken place somewhere in the 13th to 12th Century BC, so about the same time as Kadesh. And Troy is really ‘myth’ territory: that’s where Heracles (Hercules) and Achilles fought. The Battle undoubtedly happened, but what we we know is from the oral tradition, and often seems fantastic.
Imagine that: we’re really discussing the outer edges of what is actually known and documented in human history.
The fog of war and history is intense, and this is why all this is historically/scientifically so monumental.
What was Kadesh about? While the Bronze Age Empires were stable for maybe up to 1500 years up to their collapse, there was eternal Great Power Rivalry. Egypt had been colonizing Canaan in the centuries before, and there had been ongoing tensions between the Hittites and the pressing Egyptians in the north of Canaan, the South of the Hittite territory.
Egypt had been going through a period of growing power, and Ramses II was planning on leaving a name for himself by dealing with Hittite insolence once and for all.
His invasion certainly was a severe test for the Hittites, led by Muwattali II. The latter had used all his influence, and called in help from all his allies, and vassals, to defend against the onslaught.
The Battle turned out to be the Kursk of its day: it was the greatest clash of chariots ever, both Kings had thousands of them.
Ramses II left an account claiming a glorious victory. But so did basically also Muwattali II. Debate has been raging ever since, about who won, but it seems to have been a stalemate: Ramses II was not destroyed, but he was also unable to seriously weaken Hittite positions in the area.
Reality is, that the Hittite Empire continued, and consolidated its positions in Canaan’s North, while Egypt did the same in the South. And these results are consistent with an indecisive outcome.
The Battle of Kadesh is famously concluded by the first official peace treaty that we know of.
The resulting balance of power in the region was basically the situation that Israel assaulted a century later.
All this does show how the fog of war, conflicting accounts of both sides, and three millennia obscure things. The same is predictably true of Joshua’s account of his invasion and those of other sources.
But just as with the Battle of Kadesh, the resulting political situation speaks volumes of what happened: after Joshua, Israel and Judah appeared as the supreme powers in the area. So quite clearly, Israel won the war, just as they claim they did.
On The Eve Of Battle
Deuteronomy is the fifth book of the Bible, and are the last speeches of Moses. Scholars don’t really believe that Moses himself was the only author, it is a text that evolved over time, and had several authors.
And this is problematic, because the Synagogue of Satan, the Elders, the Pharisees, directed by the Money Changers & Lenders have been messing with the text, there seems little reason to doubt this.
But we’ll go with the text as it stands, for now. Moses accounts the trials and tribulations of the tribes over the last few decades, and extensively discusses the task at hand, the invasion of Canaan, and the coming annihilation of the Amorites and the Hittites, and others. And the duty to stick to the Law as the key condition for victory and future security in the Promised Land.
Moses gave these speeches in Moab, which is the East bank of the Jordan. This would be the base from which Israel would strike.
Here is a map to show where Moab is located. This map is not of the same era that we are discussing, it just shows where the Israelites were at the start of the campaign.
Moses dies in Moab, and he is tragically not allowed to lead Israel in the taking of the Promised Land. This honor falls to Joshua (Hoshea).
It’s interesting that MOAB is currently known as the Mother Of All Bombs. Well, Israel was going to land the Mother Of All Blows on the Great Powers, that’s for sure.
This is an important observation: according to the Bible, the Israelites had been staggering through the desert for 40 years. Now, this has always amazed me, and it seemed rather far fetched.
But in fact: Arabia is an enormous sea of sand. It spans 2 million square kilometers. Even if Israel only wandered through the North of it, the Desert would have easily accommodated a few score thousand semi nomadic men and their families. Low population density, political organization, slow communications would have allowed for this. It does not mean that it took Israel forty years to get from Egypt and Canaan, it means they were preparing, and just lived their lives accordingly. The Book of Numbers relates how God and Moses wanted to attack earlier, and how the Israelites refused, in fear of the seemingly insurmountable odds. God next let a generation come and go, until the next stock would attack.
Just a 100 km trip through the desert would have taken days, and would have been risky for anybody not intimately associated with the territory. This is simply how people lived at the time. The Israelites would have been perceived as mostly unremarkable and not threatening by surrounding powers.
Now let us return to this map (here’s a bigger view)
Joshua succeeds Moses as the leader of Israel, and the Book of Joshua is the sixth book of the Bible.
Here is what God says to Joshua will be his conquest, after Moses dies:
“2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan (from where they are standing in Moab, AM), thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.” Joshua 1:2-4
It couldn’t be more clear: Canaan AND the land of the Hittites is for Israel, including all the land west of the Euphrates.
Moses relates that God directly commands to attack and completely destroy the Canaan tribes, and the Hittites, and Joshua is given the exact geographic extent of the conquest.
Note that God does not demand the destruction of Egypt and Assyria, but he does demand the removal of their influence in Canaan, all the way up to the Euphrates.
Also note, that Moses and Joshua do not claim to have been behind the attacks on the Greek territories. And the map also clearly has others attack the Mycenaeans and the Minoans. These attacks were committed by a clearly distinct People, not mentioned by the Bible (for as far as I can tell now), but called the Dorians by Mainstream History.
While it were the Hittites and Egyptians that militarily and politically directly dominated Canaan, the Assyrians throughout history have had a major impact on the area. Mesopotamia and the Levant together are the Golden Crescent, and the rivers, the trade routes, they all conspire for it to be so, right up to this day, when Iraq and Iran are still central for the fates of all players in the Levant.
Previously, I noted that the Texts do not claim the attacks on the Assyrian cities, but here with God’s orders to Joshua, it is clear that Israel is behind the attacks. They were not intended to outright destroy the Assyrians, but a couple of their cities were annihilated to deliver the message: stay out, or else. And the Assyrians were more than happy to escape with a bloody nose, that’s for sure, they wouldn’t bother Israel for centuries. The Assyrians were weakened, but they lived, and maintained the bulk of their city states.
The same is true of Egypt in Canaan’s South: their positions were demolished, but the goal was not to destroy them as a People or Empire, but only to push them out of Canaan. They too never fully recovered, but they lived.
This in marked contrast to the Hittites, who were to be entirely genocided.
So now, with all this, can we not conclude that the battles as shown in the map, which is the mainstream account of events, matches to a tee the claims of Moses and Joshua?
The only difference between the map and the mainstream account, and the Bible, is that mainstream account speaks of ‘sea peoples’, based on the accounts of the losers: what is left from Hittite and Egyptian sources. These accounts, by the way, are pretty tragic, there is a letter of Hittite commander to a family member, where he describes the carnage, the great losses, and the brutality of the invaders. But they do not call them Israel.
But is this really such an issue? We have seen from the Battle of Kadesh, how the different accounts of the two protagonists are fueling discussion up to this day. We are dealing with an enormous time span. In the eyes of the powerful states that were being attacked, Israel would have been an entirely unknown quantity, that came seemingly out of nowhere. Israel’s completely uncompromising severity and ruthlessness shook them to the core, and there was no reasoning at all, only slaughter. They never knew why they deserved this terrible fate. The situation is further obscured for those on the receiving end, by the fact that they are being attacked by several others too: the Greeks by the Dorians, the Egyptians also have to deal with forces coming out of Libya. The Hittites were also attacked by the Thracians.
There are going to be questions, for sure. Inconsistencies in different accounts, perhaps the accounts of Moses and Joshua are unfair on their enemies, and overrating their own virtue. Perhaps not. But that does nothing about the main facts.
Nothing can dispel that both Joshua’s claims in terms of the geographic conquest, and Moses claims concerning the peoples to be wiped out, are completely consistent with the map of the Bronze Age Collapse as shown. Moses and Joshua describe genocide, which is what archaeology confirms.
Next, Israel and Judah are the successor Kingdoms in the Area, which is consistent with an Israelite victory.
The Mainstream Perspective On Joshua
The Mainstream claims that Joshua must have lived around the 13th century BC, so just before our proposition: about 1177 in the official timeline. They simply claim that there is no proof of his narrative, and that it is all made up. There are no known written records of any events in the 13th century, it’s just before written history begins.
But they completely ignore that Joshua and Moses claim exactly what happened in the Bronze Age Collapse. Joshua and Moses simply outright claim to have taken Anatolia and Canaan, all the way to the Euphrates, and to have killed everybody that they met. Their claims and description fit exactly the Mainstream narrative of the Bronze Age collapse, and is historically simply consistent, the more so since Israel was the next power in the area.
In short, neither Mainstream history, nor biblical scholars make the obvious connection, they are just in the dark as to when Joshua actually lived, and thus cannot validate his account.
Conclusion
It’s a major paradigm shift. The Bronze Age Collapse is not a mystery. Israel did it. Their conquest was an astonishing geopolitical feat of the very first order. They completely destroyed any opposition to their claims in the Promised Land. They caused a total collapse in the international system that had dominated over an immense area for almost two thousand years. A dark age ensued, and in the centuries after the fact, they slowly repopulated and colonized the area, with settlements of growing importance. By 1000 BC two strong states were clearly recognizable.
The odds they faced seemed insurmountable: what was a rag tag bunch of tribes going to do against a series of super powers who had been consistently crushing any revolts against their authority for centuries? For years they diddled and dared not, but when they struck, they did the impossible.
Think what you will of their claims to have been directly led by God, that’s a wholly different matter, and God knows that typically people will say God is on their side when they go to war. Although the sheer magnitude of their feats will lend credence to these claims, no doubt about it.
But what matters is that we transpire to have the first hand account of those that crushed the Bronze Age Empires, and next dominated the area for centuries to come.
Not only that, we are talking about a People that is even to this day absolutely central to the human condition. Not just the Jews, but also the lost tribes, who must be somewhere. And of course, there are many theories about who and where they are.
It is also clear that we are at a crossroads here in the centuries old struggle between the Bible and its message, and the Powers that Be, and their Scientism Religion.
Because if all this is true, Science can no longer ignore the Bible as a first rate text of history, suddenly shedding bright daylight on a previously dark age.
It seems reasonable to assume that a thing of this magnitude is a cover up, and not just blindness.
And again: I’m not saying this as a ‘Bible Believer’, because I’m not. This is the correct, objective scientific, historical evaluation of the situation.
I’d love to hear any reactions from serious historians and/or Bible scholars/theologians. I’m sure skepticism will be the main attitude, but the above deserves very serious scrutiny.

Israel Caused The Bronze Age Collapse: War On The Nephilim
At Henry Makow’s:
Did Israel Genocide The Bronze Age Empires?
This is a useful introduction to what the Mainstream has to say about the Bronze Age Collapse. The Wiki entry is also decent.
A Popular Presentation Of The Mainstream Narrative
Moses outright claims to have brutally attacked the Canaanite Kingdoms and Hittite Empire. His description of how he and his men killed everything that moved, fits the description of what ‘science’ knows about how the era ended.
Not only that: the successor political entities, around 1000 BC in Canaan are the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Clearly they were the victors of the previous carnage, otherwise they wouldn’t have existed.
If the above is true, and the facts seem basically self evident, than we are talking about quite a major scientific breakthrough. Astounding really. Israel caused the Bronze Age Collapse! That’s quite something, whatever way you look at it!
Not only that: it’s really a stunning, absolutely shocking validation of the Torah…………..
How is it even possible that people, both scientists and the religious, have been overlooking this connection for so long, while the facts seem so much to speak for themselves?!
The Strategic Situation
Above is the map 1177 BC. Have a close look, it’s from wikipedia, so we’re just reporting mainstream history here. This is what is known of the attacks of the so called ‘Sea People’.
As we can see, Canaan was dominated by Egypt in the South, and the Hittites in the North. The main campaign seems to have taken place in the North of the Levant, the South of the Hittite Empire. And they were just demolished. Also note, that there were a number of attacks in Greece and Crete, but these are attributed to the Dorians by Wiki, and not claimed by Moses. There were also attacks in Mesopotamia, ruled by the Assyrians. Wiki does not mention the perpetrators, and Moses does not claim these attacks, it seems. The Greek States collapsed, and the Assyrians were never the same. The same is true of Egypt.
What we can clearly see, is that the heart of the war was the North of Canaan, and the South of the Hittite Empire, and this basically completely validates Moses’ account.
The Mainstream Status Quo
Now let us read what Wiki has to say about the Bronze Age Collapse:
“The Late Bronze Age collapse involved a Dark Age transition period in the Near East, Asia Minor, the Aegean region, North Africa, Caucasus, Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean from the Late Bronze Age to the Early Iron Age, a transition which historians believe was violent, sudden, and culturally disruptive. The palace economy of the Aegean region and Anatolia that characterised the Late Bronze Age disintegrated, transforming into the small isolated village cultures of the Greek Dark Ages. The half-century between c. 1200 and 1150 BC saw the cultural collapse of the Mycenaean kingdoms, of the Kassite dynasty of Babylonia, of the Hittite Empire in Anatolia and the Levant, and of the Egyptian Empire;[1] the destruction of Ugarit and the Amorite states in the Levant, the fragmentation of the Luwian states of western Asia Minor, and a period of chaos in Canaan.[2] The deterioration of these governments interrupted trade routes and severely reduced literacy in much of the known world.[3] In the first phase of this period, almost every city between Pylos and Gaza was violently destroyed, and many abandoned, including Hattusa, Mycenae, and Ugarit.[4] According to Robert Drews:
Within a period of forty to fifty years at the end of the thirteenth and the beginning of the twelfth century almost every significant city in the eastern Mediterranean world was destroyed, many of them never to be occupied again.[5]”
As we can see, the brutality that Moses mentions, is also described by Wiki: these flames representing the battles, show cities that were just entirely annihilated, genocided, wiped out. Exactly as Moses describes.
Here is again Moses:
“When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
Some names of tribes are different, but the Amorites and the Hittites are mentioned by both Wiki and Moses.
And the next political map we know of is looking like this:
Again, this map of Canaan in 1000 BC.
Conclusion
The facts do speak for themselves: Israel, under Moses, did cause the Bronze Age Collapse, which was a major Geopolitical event, and not ‘myth’, but real history, and the fact that the Torah is transpiring to be an account of real history, at any rate this part of the first five books of the Bible, about 80% of the first five Books, is a shocking revelation, both scientifically/historically, and spiritually.
Disclaimer: In the previous article, I did something that is always dangerous: combine two threads. Worse: introducing two major threads at once.
But beside the Nephilim, these seemingly self evident facts intricately tying together these facts about the Bronze Age Collapse, known to the mainstream, and what Moses describes in the Torah, are a major breakthrough, I really cannot see it any other way. And it deserves level headed attention of everybody interested in these things, even without the other, very interesting and fundamental thread. Especially because it really does seem quite uncontroversial, what is being proposed here.
It does seem very, very hard to dispel.
And its implications are enormous.
Afterthought: it’s also uncanny that the territories of the Bronze Age Empires were later the exact same heartlands of the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Rome), and their successors, the Ottoman Empire.

Israel Caused The Bronze Age Collapse: War On The Nephilim
Has The Bible Been Proven Correct As A Major Historical Text?
“There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.” Genesis 6:4
In Mainstream history, which is written by the winners (which is the Bank), the Bronze Age Collapse is a ‘mystery’.
But in fact: The Bible, Deuteronomy in particular, claims Israel did it.
By Anthony Migchels
(this article was written for HenryMakow.com, and posted in two instalments (here and here)
What is the Bronze Age Collapse?
From around 3000 BC until 1200 BC, there existed around the Mediterranean an extensive network of Empires: the Mycenaeans in Greece, the Minoans on Crete. The Hittites in Anatolia. The Assyrians in Mesopotamia. The Supreme Power of the day was Egypt. Canaan, the Levant, was held by several tribes, and under the domination of the Hittites, Assyrians, and Egyptians.
These Empires have left very few accounts of these days. We have some information from the Egyptians. Previously the Sumerians had left their clay tablets, which still need to be fully, solidly translated and organized. What we know from the Mycenaeans is little more than what the Greeks had managed to pass on from the oral tradition into later texts.
But we do know these Empires existed, and that they were advanced, and had an extensive, international trade route network, that centered around Tin and Copper, the two metals that create Bronze when mixed. Copper was plentiful, while Tin was scarce, and they went as far as Cornwall to acquire it.
Then, suddenly, around 1177 BC, these Empires, one after another, were destroyed. And in no uncertain fashion: they were utterly annihilated, and those who attacked them killed everything that breaths, including the livestock. Only the Egyptians and the Assyrians survived, but were severely weakened by the attacks.
The mainstream narrative (this is a popular presentation worth viewing to see where ‘science’ stands) claims that it is entirely unclear who was behind the genocide, and that only the Egyptians left some vague accounts about ‘the Sea People’.
The Bronze Collapse is considered a major mystery, by ‘science’.
Deuteronomy
And this is where it gets ‘strange’: because we have a famous text from a People that claims they killed all these folks. Or at least a number of them. The Torah, left to us by Moses.
Here’s Deuteronomy 7:1-6:
“When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.”
Moses mentions both the Canaanite Kingdoms and Tribes, and the Hittites. The Hittites were a complete mystery for the longest time, it was only in 1906 that the Hittite capital was found, or better: that earlier found remains were confirmed to be Hittite. The Old Testament for a long time was the only record we had of their existence.
Moses does not mention the other Empires, but the fact that he does clearly claim to have been behind the attacks on the Canaanite Kingdoms and the Hittites is a major historical fact, nobody can deny this, and it’s absurd that official ‘history’ pretends this is not rather relevant. And there are modern archaeological finds that suggest that the Tribe of Dan actually did enter the Greek realms, where the Mycenaeans and Minoans ruled.
While the Biblical timeline is not entirely clear on these events, it is also important that after the collapse, and ensuing ‘dark age’, the first political entities to arise in Canaan were indeed the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah.
Canaan about 1000 BC. This map is from Wikipedia, and Mainstream History accepts this as the reality of those days.
So not only does Moses claim the attacks, Israel and Judah are the follow up Kingdoms in Canaan.
Why is it relevant?
In itself it is already an important historical ‘discovery’: searching the internet, some individuals have seemingly come to the same conclusion, which is predictable, because it is quite obvious. But they are non-entities, and the ‘scientific consensus’ is as described. Write a book about it, and one could have an ‘academic career’ centering just around this ‘hypothesis’.
Interestingly, it’s not just the Mainstream that ignores the obvious: Christian and Jewish scholars are also silent. Yes, the Scientism Religion’s main obsession is denying everything the Bible says (whether we like the Bible or not, ‘science’ does make a point of claiming the exact opposite of everything the Good Book states), but typically they are rebutted by the religious. Not in this case though: they too overlook the obvious connection.
But there is more to the story.
Moses intimates how God instructed him in how to go about the conquering of the Promised Land. And criticasters of both the Bible and the Jews have taken this as proof of a psychotic and cruel God, and his Chosen People of like mind.
But the Truth is very different.
War on the Nephilim
Yes, with modern eyes, this brazen, clearly genocidal attack on the Bronze Age Empires seems criminal.
But the war was not against Homo Sapiens. There were Giants on the Earth in those days, and they were the off spring of the Sons of God (the Fallen Angels). They were evil, and the underlying current of World History is the war between Homo Sapiens, led by the Logos and his Prophets, and the Giants, the Nephilim, the sons and grandchildren of the Fallen Angels.
They had not all been destroyed in the Flood, and Civilization was restarted by them. A famous example is Gilgamesh, the leader and founder of the Sumerian Civilization. He must have been at least 3 times taller, and ten times heavier than normal men. Here he is seen in one of the famous sculptures his contemporaries left of him. That cute little feline pet he’s holding, is a 300 pound male lion.
When Moses sent scouts into Canaan, they came back and reported: “And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.” (Numbers 13:33).
These Giants were the men of renown, that have been passed on in ‘myths’ and ‘legends’: Achilles, Hercules, but also monstrous miscegenations, as for instance the Minotaur, the monster of the Minoan Labyrinth, which seems to have been half Bull, half Man.
They were not just enormously big and strong, but also unimaginably intelligent: Gilgamesh himself must have had a massive cranium, just look at his head. A five or ten liter brain. Their mental powers must have been quite something. And this explains the ‘unexplainable’ high tech that is associated with all the Megaliths of the lost Civilizations that preceded ours. It is by now pretty clear, that the builders of these structures had very advanced knowledge of engineering, astronomy, physics, geography, tool making, probably in many ways even more advanced than we are today.
There is an enormous, longstanding, and worldwide effort by the Occult Hierarchy to suppress all evidence of the Giants and the remains of their Civilization(s). But still there is plentiful evidence, especially in this day and age of the Internet, where all information is available world wide immediately. There are countless archaeological finds, and texts and oral traditions of basically every culture in the World.
These beings were involved in all sorts of heinous practices: demonology, human, and child sacrifice. The Giants were also eaters of human flesh. It i-s not cannibalism: they really are a different species. To them, we are mere game.
And these were the enemies of God and his Chosen People, Israel.
The Jews
The Jews are not Israel, the House of Judah is only one of the twelve tribes, and in John 8, Jesus clearly and directly accuses them of being of Abraham’s seed in the flesh, but having utterly betrayed Abraham’s God in the Spirit.
Religious Jews are fiercely against Zionism, and accept that God had ended his covenant with them, due to their disobedience, losing their rights to Canaan.
What happened? After 1177 BC, which is the date of the Bronze Age Collapse in the official timeline, Israel was supreme in Canaan and the direct vicinity. But they started degenerating, under the influence of the Nephilim remnants in the surrounding domains. This is what is described by for instance Jeremiah, who accuses Israel of worshiping the Gods of the Nephilim, Baal, Moloch, etc.
Later, in the mid sixth century BC, the First Temple was destroyed, and the Tribes of Israel were exiled to Babylon.
Babylon was a successor Empire of Sumer, and it was also the place where Nimrod, another major Nephilim figure, built his Tower. It seems clear that the Jews were instructed in the evil Occult knowledge that the Nephilim throughout early history had been beguiling the humans with. This is now known as the Kabbalah.
Outright demonology is part and parcel of it all: the Texts relate how the Nephilim souls are refused access to Heaven, and are condemned to remain bound to the Earthly realm, without having bodies to manifest: they exist in some sort of parallel dimension.
There is every reason to believe that our current owners are channeling these demons, acquiring knowledge and power from them.
Sickeningly, the Jews are pretending to be Israel, God’s Chosen People, and they are pretending that the rest of us are basically Nephilim. When the Old Testament speaks of the Gentiles, they mean the Nephilim offspring. The current Jewish playbook is pretending we are the soulless monsters like those that were destroyed by Moses. And that they have the right to use the same methods against us, as Moses used against the Giants.
While they themselves are in fact the tools of these Fallen Angels.
A good example is Old Testament Usury prohibition: God forbids lending at interest to his People, but NOT to his enemies, the Nephilim offspring. The Jews have turned this upside down, and have enslaved God’s People with a $250 TRILLION debt bubble.
It’s a gigantic projection and identity theft. It also puts the Jewish resentment against Jesus in a very different and relevant light. Of course they could not accept him: he was denying their ‘right’ to enslave and destroy everybody for the Fallen Angels, as they would be doing in the centuries after their destruction by the Romans.
Conclusion
The main undercurrent of our history is the war between God and his People, Homo Sapiens, and the Fallen Angels and their half human, half Nephilim off spring.
There were a number of key events:
1. The Flood, the first attempt by God to cleanse the Earth, killing most of the massive Giants and their off spring, but some of the evil seed still present.
2. The Bronze Age Collapse, where Israel was disciplined and instructed to be God’s Chosen People, getting them to attack and destroy the Nephilim Empires that arose after the Flood.
3. Jesus, who not attacked the Roman Empire, a monstrous tyranny of Usury and Genocide, but a seemingly small and inconsequential semi-autonomous province of the Empire held by the last known remnants of the Twelve Tribes, the House of Judah. Clearly, Jesus knew the game, and he realized already then, that the Kabbalistic Jews would ultimately subvert the Gentile Empires.
4. Where we are today: nearing the End Game of the New World Order, which is the current, and final, attempt of the Fallen Angels to usurp God, have humanity worship them and their Leader, and ultimately destroy us.
The Jews are a usurpation of Israel, and instead of God’s Chosen People, they’re now God’s Chosen Traitors, and the representatives of the Fallen Angels.
Through the Kabbalah, they know the secrets of the Fallen Angels and their offspring. This is the source of their Power.
They have also been shepherding the Nephilim Genes throughout the generations. This is where the obsession with bloodlines comes from. Incidentally: it’s not just the Jews who are involved in this. The old Kings also all claimed Divine Right to Rule, as supposed descendants from the Men Of Renown. This is true of Western Kings (the Merovingians, the Plantagenets, the Habsburgs, the Hohenzollers), but also the Chinese, the destroyed Native Empires, etc.
All this explains the evil genius and seemingly impossible scope of the Conspiracy. With a 10 liter brain (and the older incarnations were even MUCH more powerful) one can think ahead. No doubt about it. They are not ‘aliens’, but they have been claiming to ‘be from the stars’ since the old days: the Annunaki (Nephilim) said the same things to the people of Sumer.
Moses was indeed a hero. His war was just: his enemies were simply insanely evil, and much mightier than he and his men were, and he could only do it with the direct leadership of God himself.
And Israel will have to rise to the occasion again: God’s Chosen People, no longer Abraham’s seed, but those who are reborn in the Spirit and keep His Commandments, will be fighting the same enemies in the decades ahead. The Nephilim are coming back. Their genome is known to the initiated. With current technology, they are undoubtedly trying to genetically re-engineer them.
Perhaps this is what Jesus had in mind, when he said: “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
We are very close to the endgame, and young people will witness most, if not all of it.

“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.” – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A cliché, and yet so pertinent. So many people think that the struggle against the New World Order is about preventing becoming their slaves.
But we ARE their slaves!
The essence of Slavery is that someone else controls the value of our production.
Under Capitalism, people depending on a wage (the 90/99%), typically consume only about 10% of the value of their own production. The entire System is geared to sucking up our production with unearned income: Usury, Landlordism, Speculation, high prices of Monopoly.
By Anthony Migchels for HenryMakow.com
In Capitalism, this was achieved by first driving the common people off their ancestral lands by systematically destroying the abundant money systems of the medieval era by forcing Gold Standards everywhere.
This caused a deflation that first savaged the country side.
In this way, the People lost their means of independence, and were forced to work for others for a living, in the cities. Instead of being independent farmers and craftsmen, they were demoted to wage slavery.
By giving him a wage, immediately a large chunk of the value of the worker’s production is taken by the shareholder. The value of the worker’s production is always much higher than his wage.
With Multinationals, profits and shareholder dividends are typically higher than cost for labor. Meaning that more than half of the workers’ production is taken by the owners of the company.
The reason that they get away with this, is because Capital is kept artificially scarce, both through Cartels and through the artificial scarcity of money. In this way, Labor is oppressed, forcing them into low wages and humiliating conditions.
The worker receives his wage, and the remaining value of his production is next sucked up with scientific precision.
A wage slave making $2000 per month has a budget something like this:
$300 for the State
$700 for the Landlord
$100 for Energy
$200 for ‘health’ ‘care’
$150 for Transportation
$50 for Telecom
Total: $1500
What remains, $500, about a quarter, is to eat and try live a life. A fraction of what 40 hours work produced, at least $4000 worth.
The beauty of the System is, that when wages rise, prices, debts (and associated usurious cost), rents, rise along, sucking up the extra purchasing power.
Residual wealth that the Middle Class retains during booms, is disowned a little later with the inevitably following crunch, forcing them into liquidation at depressed prices.
Free Markets, Right?! Supply and demand!
All good and dandy, we think. Fair enough. We use stuff, so we pay.
But when we take a closer look at where all this money ends up, it transpires that all supply chains we depend on (energy, automotive industry, telecom, ‘health’ ‘care’) are dominated by massive International Cartels.
Cartels keep supply low, and prices high, so a lot of their profits are unearned income, not really related to their production, but to their market power. They use this to keep competitors out, and the Capitalist’s core value is ‘Competition is Sin’ (John D. Rockefeller).
What is more, a great many people are enslaved by Landlordism, which is a vicious Tyranny, first established by the Sword, later overtaken by mortgages, the Money Power’s method of disowning the Landed Aristocracy. Landlordism is pure parasitism, and all the Land is owned by a really very small group of mostly very old families. For instance: all the homeowners in Britain combined own only 6% of the Land. All the rest is in the hands of a minute percentage of the population. Many of the main Land holders go back all the way to William the Conqueror.
Usury massively raises all these prices. As we know, Usury is about 40% of prices we pay for all goods and services: cost for capital passed on by the supplier.
This include the land we live on, and on which we are utterly dependent. In fact, Usury actually QUADRUPLES Landlordism´s rents.
But this is not the only way International Finance profits from everything: they also have a decisive stake in most of the Transnationals that dominate the supply chains we are completely dependent upon. Only 20% of Transnationals (there are about 40,000 of them) are independently owned.
Conclusion
In the past, people enslaved in the mines and the sweatshops, say late 19th century Britain, they were even forced by their employers to do their groceries in factory owned shops that charged outrageous prices.
We think we have outgrown this. It’s really time to think again: all that has happened is that Capital (Finance) has upped their game. Local shops on factory compounds are now international supermarket chains. But they are owned by the same people, and serve the exact same purpose: reclaiming Capital’s losses to wages, usurping our production.
People even go so far as to say ‘Capitalism has lifted people out of poverty’! What is so insane about this, is that a man, in 1694, worked about 15 weeks per year on his own farm. Then with the ascent of Capitalism, two centuries later, he worked 80 hours per week in some soul crushing ‘job’, and it was still not enough: his wife and his kids had to work too, just to pay for the rent and some potatoes.
Even today, we work at least twice as much as three centuries ago.
The most galling of it all is that people claim ‘freedom’, because once every four years they get to give away what remains of their power to some Kleptocrat insider with ‘democratic elections’.
This is the reality of Capitalism, which is centered around International Finance and its Usury (Banking).
No solution to all this is thinkable, without the end of Usury by interest free credit for the People.

Capitalism Is Jewish Usury
How Usury Encloses The Commons
Bernard Lietaer has died yesterday, or by now the day before yesterday, February 4th.
R.I.P.
I only met him once, and know nothing of him personally, but his work has a special place in my heart.
When Bill Still’s Money Masters film suddenly shook me out of my political immaturity, the first real question I had was: ‘ok, when Bankers rule, they’ll rule through money. So I better find out what the hell money actually is.’
This was a quite pertinent question, and I remember that stage vividly. And within days, in a completely natural synchronicity, Bernard’s essential book, ‘Het Geld van de Toekomst’, ‘The Future of Money’ landed in my lap.
This book is brilliant, and quite groundbreaking. It lays out in detail what money is, what the current problems of money are. Including an introduction into the problems of Usury. And it provides one of the first (to my knowledge) rational comparative analyses of several major basic complementary currency designs.
Something I later built on quite substantially in the articles consolidated in the interest-free-economics page on the blog. (http://realcurrencies.wordpress.com/interest-free-economics). And of course in the research and development of De Florijn (and the underlying Talent Architecture).
To this day I use (ok, very slightly improved) his basic definition of money: ‘anything that is agreed upon within a community to be used as a means of exchange). In fact, I was just mentioning it earlier today in an interview for Alwareness TV, an Amsterdam based independent media outlet.
Lietaer, in his seldomly astute and truthful analyses most certainly laid a solid groundwork for my own work, and I’m positive he had quite an impact on many more people.
He was definitely a key thinker in the European monetary reform movement, which is much more concerned with Usury and scarce money than the wider Alternative Media´s fascination with ´money printing´ and ´inflation´, which are only symptoms of the core disease. Although in America too, Lietaer had his impact.
Of course, there were also limitations. For instance, when I had the pleasure of meeting him once, in Antwerp, I was actually a little bemused to find he supported the Chicago Plan. Which, as we know, does not really do that much against Usury, and leaves the backdoor (to put it mildly) wide open for the Money Power.
He also was rather mild in his ambitions for complementary currencies. Promoting sustainability, taking off the worst edges of poverty, promoting social cohesion.
All fine and dandy, of course, but in my view there can be no doubt that every self respecting currency designer should have no other goal than working towards the complete obliteration of the Tyranny of Banker Money, by meeting society’s need for credit with stable, easily accessible and ultra cheap interest-free credit.
And while Lietaer undoubtedly realized that the Bank rules, I don’t think he really would have (more than theoretically) agreed with this.
But in life it’s nice to quibble about these trifles, in death what remains is gratitude for such a major contribution to interest-free economics, both in theory and practice.
For what amounts to creating such a ripple in the Matrix.

Usury: why we don’t build Cathedrals these days….
Positive Money and the Chicago Plan
Margrit Kennedy Dies
As it is clear that money throughout most of history has been the key source of domination by the ‘hidden’ World Government, it is natural that many conclude that money itself is the problem, and that it must go.
But the issue is not money, it is the abuse of money. Money is just a simple tool, a means of exchange. There are good tools, and there are bad tools. Tools can be used positively, and negatively.
It is hard not to sympathize with the ‘no money’ crowd, though. Just think of the Bible book of Acts: it describes how Jesus’ followers, after his ascension, relinquished private property, and lived together in communes.
On the other hand: the same Bible vociferously rejects Usury, while not at all outlawing money. The Bible is against ‘making money with money’, but it is not against money itself. Jesus and his students had money, and used it for daily living. Jesus was against money grabbing, unearned income, against living for money, against sitting on your money while other people need it. He was not against people using a means of exchange for trade.
Of course, the Bible is only one source, an important one, but its conclusions must be validated by Science, ie. by observation of material reality. And it seems reality DOES bear out the fact that money can be a useful tool.
Just have a look at this article: it competently discusses the problems with our money: Usury, speculation, etc. Next it concludes money is bad: “We must cooperate to end the existence of money and thereby end the power of those that currently control our civilization and refuse to stop destroying our planet.”
But this is a logical fallacy: to suggest that to get rid of those that control our current money, that all money must go. If the problem is that bad people run our money, we could also execute the Bankers, and take control of the monetary system ourselves.
Also: if the problem with money is (among others) interest on loans of money, is the solution to eradicate money, or to eradicate interest on loans of money? If speculation is an issue, is the solution to do away with money, or with speculation? If derivatives are bad, do we need to dump derivatives, or money?
We have seen the positive effects of organic money: the miracle of Wörgl for instance, where bad money was crushing the locals, and Mayor Unterguggenburger circulated just a few thousand worth of his own scrip with demurrage, solving both debt and unemployment in his community.
And on a larger scale, the prosperity of the American Colonies under Colonial Scrip, and how the real cause of the War for Independence was the Crown’s destruction of these monetary systems.
But also Germany under Hitler, where Schacht did not even solve Usury, but did end money scarcity through deflation, which unlocked the German Folk’s productive capacity, catapulting them to World prominence on the economic, military, cultural, and scientific levels, in just a few years.
So apparently money CAN support the legitimate aspirations of the People.
The Venus Project
There are basically two schools of thought promoting the end of money. The writer of the article we were referring to is part of a tradition that promotes the way Jesus’ followers lived after his death and resurrection. Decentralized, local communities, demonetized, self sufficient.
But there is another ideology that promotes ‘no money’, and that is Jacques Fresco’s Venus Project. However, I suspect that the Venus Project is pretty much what the NWO have in mind as their endgame.
It is a high tech Communist Utopia, where ‘the computers’ manage everything. People don’t get to consume the value of their own production (which is the key goal of economic decentralization and interest-free economics), but they ‘get what they need’, basically the equivalent of a living wage, which will typically be much less than the value of their production.
The Venus Project suffers from the typical delusion that our human problems can be solved with technology. That Utopia comes when High Tech solves the limitations of the human condition. Which is typical Luciferianism. The Luciferians are looking to become gods through technology, that is a key part of their game.
Another issue, is that those programming the computers will be the ones that control society. Of course, it will be ‘managed democratically’, but this is the kind of ‘democracy’ that we recognize from the Soviets. Soviet means “an elected local, district, or national council” in Russian. Such power structures are in fact easily managed top down.
What is more: under the Venus Project there will be no private property. And nowadays we all know that ‘no private property’ means that the King owns everything. It is the ultimate victory of one Ego over all the others.
This is anathema to Usury-free economics, where the State has NO rights to the Commons, ONLY the People, which is the collection of free men and their families that comprise the People, have rights to the Commons: we are not ‘free’ when we are paying rents to the State, instead of some private Plutocrat. We are free when we pay NO rents.
Jacques Fresco has also intimated that he is against the Family, and that the State should run child rearing. Because these evil families might mind control their children into believing in God, and the State is so neutral and scientific, and loves the children and Truth so much, that they are in a much better position to decide what the child will think. Ok, that is slightly exaggerated, but the point is clear.
Ubuntu
A couple of years back I had the pleasure of interviewing Michael Tellinger, not just a great truthseeker, but also a man that has been known to pick fights with the Bankers head on in South Africa.
Tellinger is solidly in the ‘no money’ camp, and is driven by his philosophy which he calls Ubuntu, a Zulu/Bantu concept. It’s about solidarity, sharing, and the realization that nobody can be happy if one is unhappy. It’s basically the bright side of the outlook on life of the Africans. And obviously quite congruent with how Jesus’ friends lived for a while.
But Tellinger, who has a firm grasp of the monetary issues at hand, and I totally agreed that even should the ‘no money’ idea prove correct, to get there, the migration to a Usury-free economy was indispensible. There is simply no way of demonetizing the economy cold turkey. We CAN, however, create positive units solving our current financial problems.
Tellinger himself continues to promote monetary reform, even though he believes we will ultimately not need money at all.
Generosity is great, but fair exchange has a right to exist too
An important issue is, that with the end of scarce money, abundance comes to the many, and the constant fight for survival of the masses will come to an end. Under these circumstances people can certainly be expected to be far more generous among each other. When money is abundant, it will be valued far less.
For instance, in the hundreds of different LETS systems in operation worldwide, we see that people exchange services among each other with these units, and because these units are abundant, people actually start doing things for each other without accepting even payment in LETS.
Which is all wonderful, and there is no reason to resist this. However, what also seems likely, is that there will definitely continue to be circumstances where people, individuals, or local communities, would rather not surrender this or that item to a brother in need, but on the other hand wouldn’t mind a fair exchange.
What is more: when sharing is the only value, a problem can become the lack of incentive to produce something more than we have a direct use for. But local communities will always only be able to produce their basic needs plus a few specialties. To acquire special goods from elsewhere, they will have to continue offering their own specialties in exchange.
Fair exchange benefits both parties. The purpose of commerce is distribution. Commerce has been corrupted by the effects of Finance, as Finance corrupts everything, but in itself it provides a vital function.
And for fair exchange, we need fair money. Because longstanding clear cut human experience is, that without money by far most exchanges wouldn’t take place.
Conclusion
Usury-free living in itself would lead to huge demonetization, as Usury forces people to commoditize everything in order to continue to be able to finance ever growing debt service.
People are right to reject a socioeconomic system based on money grabbing.
But the issue is not money itself, but that it is in the hands of Evil, and used to enslave us through Usury, scarce money, inflations and deflations, speculation, rents, usurping our production, and redistributing it to the idle classes.
It is completely possible to create currencies that do not redistribute wealth to Kleptocrats, without Usury, inflations and deflations, speculation, and which simply serve for what money is supposed to be in the first place: a means of exchange. Nothing more, nothing less.
Thankfully so, because honest exchange and commerce are vital to our economic well being, and for honest exchange, honest money will continue to be needed, albeit far less so.
