Babylonian Money Magic is both well understood and misunderstood in equal proportions. Here is a synopsis.
There is also an unknown dimension to this genesis of modern banksterism and debt slavery. It is also the genesis of the modern Divide and Rule strategy of the social engineers. How that strategy is employed in the world of today from its beginnings after cataclysm to nationalistic warlords, empire builders and financiers is one of the most interesting stories that could be told but very much neglected in any sober historians take on the historical narrative. Their narrative however, is broken beyond repair so they need to address some serious problems if they want a solid perch to preach from.
I've explored the astonishing revision going on at the moment, especially with ancient history, it frames a sensational context for what I'm about to share.
But how did empire itself begin with "Divide & Rule"?
Why did Alexander The Great end up in Babylon? Was the biblical "Tower Of Babel" a real construction project or an allegory for a financial center? Were both Troy and Babylon opium trade centers for the previous generations of the narcotics trade? Was the same cult behind that trade as today and during the British Empire as they are the Vatican, Jesuits, Mercantile and Central Bankers and the Imperial cult of Rome?
Most underappreciated of all is how a cult like group from the priesthood of more than just Babylon and Sumer legacy temples regrouped in the Phoenician civilization and cananite lands. By the fall of Carthage they moved to Rome and then Venice where they seized financial control of Europe's Royal houses.
Directly related, has deficit spending been the real cause of collapse of almost every empire? How does this relate to the remarkable cosmic events that put an end to a high civilization that spawned this mischief? Is the accepted historical timeline correct or is it as much as 1000 years off thanks to Vatican and the Byzantine spawned Roman Catholic Church? Did you know Isaac Newton was also a chronologist and had similar issues with the timeline of civilization? https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691154787/newton-and-the-origin-of-civilization
Are Christianity and Rabbinical Judaism PsyOps? What role does the mysterious Saturn Death Cult play in all of this? The detailed answers are all in the links in this text above, but below is a wonderful synopsis of all these things much closer to reality than accepted history could ever muster up with its poor understanding of human nature.
Most of Sumerian connections to Anunnaki and other such tales don't seem realistic to me, or perhaps I should say don't seem to have been understood in the context which lends itself to realistic understanding. Let's face it, if the emerging perspective stands up to scrutiny over time then the reality is almost as unbelievable and features all the scandal and romance of a sinister duel through the ages and battle for ultimate power and control.
