A very influential figure, Norman, according to the Wall Street Journal, was referred to as "the currency dictator of Europe", a fact which he himself admitted to, before the Court of the Bank on 21 March 1930. The economist and Court member, John Maynard Keynes, said of him: "Montagu Norman, always absolutely charming, always absolutely wrong".
. . . Norman was a close friend of the German Central Bank President Hjalmar Schacht, who served in Hitler's government as President of the Reichsbank and Minister of Economics between 1934 and 1937. Norman was also so close to the Schacht family that he was godfather to one of Schacht's grandchildren. Both were members of the Anglo-German Fellowship and the Bank for International Settlements.
An excerpt from, "The alliance of MI6, the CIA and the Banderites" By Thierry Meyssan, Voltaire Network, April 12, 2022:
The massive support of the United States and its allies for the Ukrainian Banderites against Russia is comparable to the support of the same side in the early days of Hitler’s Germany against the USSR. Let us remember that absolutely all Western states without exception believed, at one time or another, that the Nazis were the solution to the economic crisis of 1929. Only they seemed to offer a credible alternative to capitalism. Of course, almost all of these people changed their minds when the Nazi danger turned against them.
As an example, let us recall that the French Foreign Minister, Georges Bonnet, enchanted by the Jewish policy of the Reich, proposed to his German counterpart, Joachim von Ribbentrop, to deport French, Polish and German Jews to a distant colony, Madagascar [1]. On December 6, 1938, the same Georges Bonnet signed the Franco-German Commitment to Peaceful Collaboration with Joachim Ribbentrop, the Reich Foreign Minister.
British Prime Minister Neuville Chamberlain organized the Munich Agreement of September 30, 1938, which liquidated Czechoslovakia for the benefit of the Reich [2], while the Governor of the Bank of England, Montagu Norman, stole 27 tons of Czechoslovakian gold to help strengthen the Nazi armies [3].
Or Prescot Bush, the father of President George H. Bush and the grandfather of President George W. Bush, invested in 1940 in the factories of the Auschwitz prison camp (which only became an extermination camp in 1942) [4].
An excerpt from, "Appeasement: the shocking truth about the 1938 Munich Agreement" By Alex Krainer, The Naked Hedgie, December 17, 2021:
But beyond the verbal guarantee, Britain did next to nothing to ensure Poland’s security: it made no real effort to build up a defense front with Poland and no military arrangements were made as to how Britain and Poland would cooperate in a war. Britain’s efforts to rearm Poland were delivered late, in inadequate amounts and in an unworkable form. At the same time, it continued to provide very substantial support to Germany.
In May 1939 when Chamberlain issued his guarantee, there was talk about a £100 million loan to Poland, but the British stalled and delayed, delivering far too little and far too late: Poland finally obtained a small credit of $8,163,300 only one month before the German invasion. At the same time, as Quigley writes, “all London was buzzing about a secret loan of £1,000,000,000 from Britain to Germany,” more than a hundred times the meager credit extended to Poland. The rumors were in fact corroborated by Hitler himself. Speaking of these events in August 1942, he said:
“Schacht had told me that we had at our disposal a credit of fifteen hundred million marks abroad, and it was on this basis that I planned my Four Year Plan, which never caused me the slightest anxiety… And this is how things are today, and we never find ourselves blocked for money.”The Schacht that Hitler was referring to was his then Economy Minister, Hjalmar Schacht, former Wall Street banker, head of the Reichsbank and a very close associate of Bank of England’s chief Montagu Norman.
Video Title: The Shocking Truth About the 1938 Munich Agreement [CP Podcast with Alex Krainer]. Source: Canadian Patriot Press. Date Published: January 27, 2022. Description:
What were the real objectives behind Britain's 'secret diplomacy' with Hitler's Germany from 1932 to Hitler's 1939 invasion of Poland? In this Canadian Patriot Review Podcast, Matt talks with Alex Krainer about his research and three part series on the Anglo American plan for a 'Three Block World Agenda'.
As Alex describes this aborted agenda envisioned a world of Anglo-American controls of the Americas and much of Europe, India and Africa, a German control of the Eurasian Heartland, and Japanese fascist control of much of the Asia Pacific. How this was advanced by London's controls over nerve centers of finance, intelligence and various international fifth columns from Hitler's annexation of Austria, to the carving up of Czechoslovakia to the invasion of Poland is unpacked in great detail.
The important thing to hold in mind while listening to Alex's remarks, is that this is not a story of the past, but rather a story of the present with extreme importance for the future of civilization, since the exact same formula for a fascist world order and world war are being replicated as we speak. And just like in 1938, Russia is still a primary target.
