1871 – Part III – Truth Trench Think Tank

To begin, let’s briefly recall some significant historical events that we’ve outlined so far in this series:

William the Conqueror and the 1066 Battle of Hastings,
King Charles I, the English Civil War and his eventual beheading in 1649,
King Charles II, his wars and whores, and the Great Default of 1676,
William of Orange and the Glorious Revolution of 1688,
The formation of the Bank of England in 1694,
The establishment of the American Colonies,
The American Revolution,
The Bank of North America in 1781,
The First Bank of the United States in 1791,
The Second Bank of the United States in 1816,
The panic of 1837,
The American Civil War, and
The Treaty of Washington 1871.

In terms of shaping the society we live in today, these are possibly the most significant events in pre-modern Anglo-Saxon history. The most fascinating characteristic of this 800-year timeline is the common thread that interweaves these events together. That common thread, is the City of London.

We will pick up from where we left off in Part 2, and look at the ongoing legacy of the 1871 Treaty of Washington. Not only did this treaty circumvent America’s ability to use its Constitution, it set in motion a series of events that destroyed the sovereignty of almost every nation state around the world, giving birth to the bastard-child of evil, which we know as the World Economic Forum.

On The Question of Debt

In Part 2 we showed how America lay in financial ruin after the Civil War:

The US government had promised to pay back its enormous war debt in specie (gold and silver). With a nation in collective mourning and economically destitute, how was this ever going to be repaid?

Understandably, Americans were pissed after the Civil War. However, their red-hot anger was not aimed at each other, but the British Empire, which had publicly declared itself neutral with respect to the war:

This was no trivial matter. This was not just about gun-running; it was also about trade. One of the ships, The Lee, successfully completed 21 trips for the Confederacy. On each occasion, approximately $2,000,000 of cotton was shipped to London, with the return trip delivering an equivalent value of weaponry and ammunition for the Confederates

This was exceptionally poor form by the British. Their blatant support for the Confederates, while publicly declaring their neutrality, cost hundreds of thousands of lives. The extra two years of bloodshed compounded a blowout in the nation’s fiscal balance sheet, eventually leaving America owing billions to foreign bond investors.

The Americans were licking their wounds, but they were also fired up and ready to annihilate the British for their treachery:

This dispute became known as “The Alabama Claims”, and conflict could have erupted at any moment, but there was something far more ominous brewing; something that frightened the living daylights out of international investors:

Consider this situation from an investor’s perspective. If Britain violated their declaration of neutrality, the United States could argue that they aided the South in a rebellion. If proven, all government debt owned by Britain, or issued in Britain, would be “held illegal and void.”

If there was even a hint of this scenario unfolding, British holders of US government bonds would immediately sell their bonds at any price, as would speculators who could see the writing on the wall. Bond prices would collapse into the abyss. If this happened, those who invested in Civil War bonds would suffer huge losses; this included Otto von Bismarck, the Prussian Chancellor of the future Reich.

At this point in history, America had just lost 600,000 fighting age males, who all believed they were fighting for the survival of their country. Within this context, if every-day Americans could use the Public Debt Clause within the 14^th Amendment to give a massive “fuck you” to the British for prolonging their Civil War, would they? If we contemplate the miserable financial position most Americans were in at the time, not only would they have supported it, they would have demanded it.

Bismarck, and every other Prussian speculator, must have roiled at the thought of Americans using their own Constitution to solve their dispute against the British. If the US patriots were successful, their investments and the promise of riches from US Government bonds would be destroyed.

Something had to be done to avert this situation; something that would settle all the disputes between America and Great Britain; something that ensured that the US Constitution, and especially the pesky Public Debt Clause, was not activated.

Kiss and Make-Up

With billions at stake, and the threat of America taking the Dominion of Canada from the British Empire, urgent action was required. America was a government “of the People, by the People and for the People”. The enlightened despots in Europe could never accept that the American people could decide their own destiny, and in the process, use their Constitution to declare their public debt to the British null and void.

The 1871 Treaty of Washington averted this potential catastrophe for foreign bond investors:

Right from the get-go, the intention of the treaty was to put an immediate end to ALLdisputes between the United States and Britain:

If we look at the true outcome of the treaty, Britain was found guilty of violating its declaration of neutrality during the war, and therefore aided and abetted the Confederates. Rather than using the 14th Amendment, the United States received a net compensation payment of $10 million. The US Naval Institute determined that British involvement in the Civil War cost 400,000 and 2 extra years of brutal conflict. The $10 million America received as the outcome of the treaty amounted to approximately $25 per extra life lost.

$10 million was nothing compared to the $2.3 billion of national debt that needed to be paid back, with interest, in gold and silver. Repayment would only be possible with the blood, sweat and tears of future generations of Americans, from the North and the South.

On the world stage, America got recognition for their claim against the British. But the retribution was a joke. Why? Because the United States agreed to the Treaty of Washington, and Article 35 of the treaty gave the final word to a Prussian king who had just been crowned the Emperor of Germany.

In other words, because the Kaiser said so!

A New Court in Town

There are two lasting legacies left behind from the Treaty of Washington. The financial impact was immense, which we will address in the next article. The other was how the treaty was used as a shining light for the globalist agenda.

Interestingly, when the conflict between the States erupted, it was not referred to as a ‘war’:

The language used by Lincoln and others during the conflict was important, because it could be used to ratify the Public Debt Clause in the 14^th Amendment. With the mainstream news slowly shifting toward the term “Civil War”, the language separated the conflict and the opportunity to invoke the Public Debt Clause. This was a critical move, as the Clause clearly stated how the United States should treat the British for their treachery:

Instead of America using the powers vested in the Constitution, and responding as a free and independent nation, they submitted to the Treaty of Washington. The result was that their fate was determined by an international court in Geneva, Switzerland, with the Kaiser as the final judge:

Recall in Part 2, we introduced Gerson von Bleichroder, who was Otto von Bismarck’s private banker. However, he was also the Reich’s banker; many Prussian nobles had taken his advice and invested in extremely cheap US Civil War bonds:

With so many of the Kaiser’s close associates financially exposed to the dispute between America and Great Britain, it was a notable coincidence that such a favorable outcome was reached on behalf of the bond investors. Nevertheless, the Kaiser’s word was final, and America was on the hook for billions of dollars following the arbitration.

As we noted earlier, the Treaty of Washington did far more than line the pockets of Prussian investment portfolios:

When the Treaty was signed and both parties accepted the outcome of the arbitration, it was immediately used as a precedent by those with a keen interest in international law:

Neither the British nor the Americans could use their own laws to determine their future actions as nation states. Instead, the Kaiser, and a Swiss, Brazilian and Italian diplomat were appointed to adjudicate. This new jurisdiction was groundbreaking. If an international court could be used to control these two great powers, imagine what it could do to the whole world!

After the horror of WWI, the rules set out in the Treaty of Washington were used as precedents for the formulation of the League of Nations:

Think of some of the wonderful ‘Specialized UN Agencies’ we have today. UNESCO comes to mind; it was the first to promote transgender activism in schools. And of course, there’s the WHO, with their tenacious efforts to establish “mandates” throughout the world, via their upcoming Pandemic Treaty.

The United Nations and its predecessor, the League of Nations, established international courts as a means to pass judgement on nation states, regardless of the laws constituted in these respective sovereigns. They believe that their international courts are validated through the precedents established in the past. In this regard, the Washington Treaty of 1871 is foundational.

These international courts create a ‘circle-jerk’ of legal precedents to achieve their desired goals:

Governments around the world who kowtow to the United Nations, the WHO, and the international courts that enforce “international law”, do so with the potential of subverting the laws of their own sovereign nation-states.

Consider all of this as we look at the multiple indictments handed out to President Trump over the last few months, as well as the humiliating manner in which he has been charged and arrested. It is not only him; they also attack other patriots who support the attempt to return power back to ‘We the People’.

Does the Rule of Law appear to be weaponized against a political opponent? As Hunter Biden reaches for another crackpipe, prostitute, or god knows what, does it appear that the Rule of Law is being applied to him? President Trump stands for everything the globalists hate; life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The invisible enemy needed someone to “get Trump”. To do this, they needed someone with experience in the courts of “international law”.

Whatever John Luman Smith is up to, history may not be very kind to those who ‘aid in the insurrection and rebellion against the United States’.

A Swabian Agenda

The 1871 Treaty of Washington has been leveraged to create some sinister globalist institutions. We have outlined many of these think tanks, intergovernmental bodies and institutions throughout our #PrussiaGate articles.

However, we must return to the organization whose original intention was to create a court of international law. They used the Treaty of Washington as one of their primary precedents. This organization was the International Committee of the Red Cross. In The ReichsWEF – Part V we presented an expose on one the world’s great villains, Herr Klaus Martin Schwab.

https://truthtrench.org/?p=3681

Klaus’ mentor and family friend was a man named Martin Bodmer. Known as “the king of bibliophiles”, Bodmer moved to Geneva, Switzerland, where he served as the vice-president of the International Red Cross. He was also a member of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). In WW2, when the Allied Forces began their bombing raids across Germany, the Ravensburg factory that Klaus Schwab’s father operated was spared, because Red Cross vehicles were scattered throughout the town. The Ravensburg factory was manufacturing parts for the Nazis to build an atomic bomb.

An intriguing side-note is that Martin Bodmer also founded a popular literary review, named “Corona”.

The family connection to Bodmer was strong, and Klaus Martin Schwab carried his mentor’s middle name. Klaus eventually moved to the same Swiss town where Martin Bodmer resided – Cologny. In 1971, the year Martin Bodmer died, Klaus formed the World Economic Forum. The office is only a 1-mile walk from Martin Bodmer’s Foundation:

Klaus, Bodmer, the Red Cross, the UN and the WHO all have cozy offices in Switzerland. Also recall, that the Treaty of Washington was arbitrated in Geneva, Switzerland. With so many international bodies nestled in the beautiful mountains and lakes of Switzerland, one may begin to wonder if they are working together to reach the same desired end-state:

Before the World Economic Forum, the Bilderberg Conference served as a platform for globalist, multinational corporations to openly collude with each other and decide the economic fate of the world. Today, these two organizations complement each other, along with other annual get-togethers such as Bohemian Grove.

Klaus brings together these multinational corporations and central bankers to work alongside the United Nations and determine the future policies of the world.

Having established global policy, the international courts adjudicate and establish an international legal framework consistent with the agenda of intergovernmental agencies working with the United Nations.

The laws of nations and the will of the people be damned!!

The 1871 Treaty of Washington was not just used to create the UN and its international laws and mandates. The financial consequence of the treaty was so tremendous, that it led to the rise of a myriad of multinational corporations, industrial complexes, and central banks; many which serve in the command of Klaus’ beloved ReichsWEF.
