Power of the Purse Volume 1
June 21st, 2010Lee Rogers of roguegovernment.com and the Live Free or Die radio show sent me a copy of his new documentary film, Power of the Purse Volume 1.
It’s almost five hours of fiat currency Hell, including a dog leg into the 9/11 spectacle.
I was particularly interested in the portions of the film that dealt with the history of the topic before 1900. Have you ever heard of King Henry the First’s tally sticks?
Unsplit tally sticks started as mathematical objects serving as mnemonic aids to counting, but they eventually found another use as commerce developed. Because so few people could read and write, tallies provided the earliest form of bookkeeping for recording both physical quantities and money. By the medieval period, tallies had really come into their own as the English equivalent of today’s credit card and as an instrument of internal control. King Henry I, son of William the Conqueror, assumed the throne of England in 1100 AD, and in an effort to enhance his power, invented a unique money system called the tally stick system.
Tally sticks were made of polished hazel or willow wood, and transactions were recorded by notches carved into the square tally with a knife…
…
Internal control was implemented by splitting the tally stick lengthwise through the notches, leaving one half of the notches on each piece. Each party to a transaction kept one half of each tally stick, and the accounts were audited by fitting the two pieces together to determine if they would “tally.”
But King Henry expanded the role of tally sticks beyond simple record keeping. Because tally sticks could be used to pay the taxes imposed by the king, he created a demand for tally sticks. This demand for tally sticks expanded their role, and they began to circulate as a form of money (Carmack, 2003).
What a scam! Essentially the same ancient scam is running now, but on a planetary scale.

Film Summary
Throughout human history the control and manipulation of money has been used by the elites to control free humanity. This has continued up until this day.
Power of the Purse Volume 1 is a 4 hour and 50 minute documentary spanning 2 DVDs that details the history of how money has evolved from ancient times to the 21st century. This film exposes how those who have controlled money have used this power to fund both sides of wars in order to bankrupt nations and peoples.
This film reveals important historical facts and information about the modern day monetary system that the corporate media and the teachers indoctrinating our youth in the so-called public education (indoctrination) system refuse to talk about.

re: Tally sticks.
Apparently, there was a longer and
shorter part. The longer part was associated
with the lender or the company, and was
referred to as the “stock”. Should ring a
bell.
(Think I got this from Damon Vrabel’s excellent
series on Renaissance 2.0 found on SwarmUsa and
elsewhere.)
I first head about tally sticks in this documentary, The Money Masters.

Very well researched and presented, worth a watch if you are inclined to such subjects and have 3 1/2 hours to spare.
Yeah, but at least the monarch got something in return for the circulating value represantation. Today, there is nothing of any kind whatsoever representing something on the gov.s side. Electronic money doesn’t even have a serial number attached to it.
