In this sequel to Joseph P. Farrell's Babylon's Banksters, the banksters have moved from Mesopotamia via Rome to Venice. There, they have manipulated popes and bullion prices, clipped coins, sacked Constantinople, destroyed rival Florence, waged war, burned "heretics," and suppressed hidden secrets threatening their financial supremacy . . . until Giordano Bruno and Christopher Columbus broke the banking cartel's control of information and bullion.

We might wonderwith some justificationhow an excursion into such magical mediaeval matters could possibly shed light on the contemporary debate on finance, commerce, credit, and debt taking place around the world.

As will be seen in these pages, the modern global economy, with its bonds, annuities, bills of exchange, alchemical paper "fiat money," bullion, wage-slavery, national debts, private central banking, stock brokerages, and commodities exchanges, in a sense began in the Middle Ages, for all these institutions began for quite perceptible and specific reasons during that time.

The centerpiece in this debate is of course money: what, and who, does it really represent? And how did it manage to begin as a purely metaphysical phenomenon, with deep ties to a cosmological and indeed topological and alchemical metaphor of the physical medium, thence to transmute itself into the conception that money is bullion, and thence once again to transmute itself back into a purely metaphysical construct of credit and debt denominated on tokens of paper?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Joseph P. Farrell was born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota in 1957, has a B.A. in Biblical Studies and Philosophy, an M.A. in Historical and Theological Studies, and a Ph.D. in Patristics (NOT physics as one of his publishers keeps insisting on saying in spite of his best efforts to get them to change that!). After a lifelong interest in alternative history, science, and a fascination for ancient texts, Joseph started writing in 2001 on these subjects. He also studied pipe organ from the age of six until beginning college, and composes classical music for friends and family. He also plays the harpsichord.

A Detective Story of the First Magnitude

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

A thread runs through all of Joseph P. Farrell's books like the finest weave. What if one was to treat the lost history of mankind as a kind of detective story? Even with the careful speculation and interposition of undisputable facts presented by Dr. Farrell, the answers are staggering and will leave you stunned. The world you thought you knew and understood will be replaced by a new and deeper understanding of how and why history is written the way it is, by whom, and even perhaps why.

Our detective here is a man of impeccable credentials and scholarship. As with any good gumshoe, he looks to identify what he terms "common surfaces" between seemingly unrelated events, peppered with lost documents, historical events, and deductions that would make Sir Arthur Conan Doyle sit up in his chair. For the murder victim in this case is none other than the Idea of Man himself.

In Financial Vipers of Venice, Joseph's second book directly on matters related to finance, Dr. Farrell takes us directly into the heart of the alchemical principles that lit the fuse of the Renaissance. His investigation into the murder of Giordano Bruno, the alchemical theologian and scholar of the first magnitude that was induced to come to Venice and wound up roasted on an Inquisitional barbecue, brings forth clues to a deep and very old agenda to suppress the true nature of human consciousness and existence itself.

The real "fire" that Giordano Bruno's auto-de-fe attempted to squelch was the paleo-ancient concept of what Dr. Farrell calls "the Metaphor," a crucial fact of the universe largely kept from modern man. For the Metaphor describes the relationship of the physical man to the cosmos itself. It supports an understanding of existence and the universe as the most powerful kind of open system, where new information is created as the core function of the unceasing moment of creation. The very nature of the Metaphor itself allows him to contrast its meaning with the modern definition of economy and even money. He shows in certain terms that the current and historical financial systems are the diametric opposite of what the Metaphor, an ancient scientific principle, would suggest to be in line with this ultimate natural law.

Dr. Farrell, being the detective he is, then connects these topics to the behavior of the voracious and predatorial families that gave rise to the Most Serene Republic of Venice. He traces their roots to the Chaldean slaves that eventually took over the Italian Peninsula and who brought with them the philosophy, genetic memory and business techniques of the ancient Sumerians. He analyzes their practices and their effects, their feint alliances and their treacheries. You will never see Venice in the same light again.

He shows us some evidence that these "Venetians" moved into Bavaria, Holland, and England in the mid to late 14th century due to the impending "discovery" of the New World. Their spiritual and behavioral cancer took root in those places and the effects are with us today.

There are many surprises in this work of intellectual poetry. For example: what did Columbus know that allowed him to become credited with the discovery of the New World? How did Columbus obtain this information and from whom? You'll have to read this work to find out. And you should.

Dr. Farrell is a scholar of incredible importance for anyone who wants to understand existence and the lost history of Man. With almost two-dozen books behind him, all of which are related to one another, it's almost as if they are one book in separate volumes, but stand on their own. As with any great scholar, he opens up many more questions that need to be answered for detectives that wish to follow him. Armed with his arch of books they have ahead of themselves the intellectual adventure of a lifetime. You must read this book.

What happened in Venice?

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2013

Verified Purchase

Are there hidden connections between Giordano Bruno, Christopher Columbus, ancient mapmakers, the Fourth Crusade, the Protestant Reformation and the ancient topological metaphor? Dr. Farrell believes so. The obvious answer to these is the city-state of Venice, but he believes there is much more to the story than just a place. For in his reasoned opinion, based on serious reflection, observation and analysis, the story is not just about a small, but ambitious city-state who desired control of a geopolitical empire by bullion trade, currency manipulation and subterfuge. In his opinion the real story is about the occult philosophy, based on the remnants of an ancient science and economic philosophy, that was guiding an ancient oligarchy's actions and activities during a transformational period of history. To his credit, he does not view history topically (e.g. World history, Church history, Reformation history, history of science, history of cartography, history of banking, occult history, etc.) In his hands history is the fabric woven from all of these strands of topical information combined into one particular pattern-- and in this case, Venice is firmly positioned like a spider in the middle as its source and architect. As a continuation in the line of books starting with The Cosmic War, and including Babylon's Banksters, Genes, Giants, Monsters and Men, and Grid of the Gods, Financial Vipers of Venice adds one more layer in a developing hypothesis of at least two surviving elites from an ancient civilization of antiquity which blew itself apart in an ancient war. Like his previous works Financial Vipers of Venice is densely packed with information drawn from a variety of sources and fields of study. Though each reference cited is not thoroughly analyzed from every possible angle, Dr. Farrell does consistently labor to identify each of the necessary strands needed to support his position in an essay format. Those who demand greater academic rigor may find this book to be a major disappointment. (Unlike J. R. R. Tolkien, Dr. Farrell does not have the luxury of an Oxford chair with a small set of students in his charge. Yet, it would be unwise to assume his pursuit of unity and detail is any less passionate.) Those who will approach this book with an open mind, and who are willing to follow the prima facie case he continues to argue, may be led to conclude the idea is certainly plausible--even possible. But the most shocking part of all of this isn't whether I believe the story to be true. The most shocking part is the realization that more than one government in the past century has embraced many of these same ideas, given serious consideration to these ancient texts and their medieval incarnations, and acted on them accordingly with experimentation and theoretical research. And like its ancient forms, the same modern governments' response to this alchemy is just as occulted--and for the same reasons. It does make one wonder...

Det mest intressanta va "the "methafor"

Superbra bok med mycket info och historia om pengar. Det mest intressant handlade om "the methaphor"- som också handlade om pengar.

Förvänta dig dock inte att få boken hel.
