Explore the intriguing depths of financial history in "The Babylonian Woe" by David Astle. This expansive book delves into the intricate connection between money, power, and the progression of civilizations, tracing a monetary conspiracy from the ancient city of Babylon to today's global financial system.
Astle artfully unveils how private, irresponsible money creation has been a persistent cancer, intertwined with the escalating warfare, shaping our world and influencing the course of mankind. This historical inquiry takes readers back to the time of Hammurabi, King of Babylon, and journeys through the prominent civilizations of Egypt, Assyria, Persia, Greece, Rome, and even delves into the creation of modern financial institutions like the Bank of England and the U.S. Federal Reserve Banking system.
Astle argues that history over the last three thousand years has been shaped by both a conscious and unconscious distortion of truth, leading to detrimental consequences. His analysis culminates in exposing a far-reaching conspiracy propagated by semi-secret societies controlling monetary issuance, often favoring gold, silver, and copper.
However, Astle also highlights the resilience of the ancient Greek City-State of Sparta. With their defiance against this international monetary power, Sparta maintained control over its national monetary issuance, using copper until the end of the Peloponnesian War.
"The Babylonian Woe" is not just a historical exposition but a cautionary tale. Astle warns of a pre-planned path to a New World Order, a dystopian future marked by a surveillance police state with microchipped populations. The book serves as an urgent call to those concerned about the current state of the world and the orchestrated suffering.
Astle's stylish and engaging writing style makes the exploration of seven thousand years of history both enlightening and enjoyable. His detailed research and analysis on ancient civilizations and their monetary systems reveal a persistent conspiracy that still influences today's world, making "The Babylonian Woe" a timeless read. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of our shared economic past and its impact on our present and future.
