Central banker tells his nephew: We control the press and the politicians

 “We control all press and politics.” Retiring Bank of England director Harry Pilkington spills the beans to his nephew in 1972 on a train journey. “I’m going to give you two pieces of advice to take through life: Firstly, never believe anything you read in the press because we control it. Secondly, never, ever believe a politician when they say they can do something because they can’t unless we say they can.”

Harry was leaving the Bank of England just as the global banksters were taking it over. Perhaps he sensed as much? The late 1960s and early 1970s were a high-point for British culture and living standards and it was to be all downhill from 1972 on, with the descent into de-industrialisation, the Heath/Wilson battle for the coal mines, the so-called IMF financial crisis which some economists believe was really a form of US bullying. Britain was being sabotaged.

In 1930, Pilkington married Rosamond Margaret, daughter of Royal Army Medical Corps Colonel Henry Davis Rowan of Rathmore, Greystones, County Wicklow, Ireland. Pilkington was known for his “warm-hearted personality”; when a young couple moved in nearby, they decided to grow roses but lacked the experience in pruning. The wife was acquainted with Pilkington’s gardener at Windle Hall, and made a phone call; the then-Lady Pilkington answered, telling her, “I’ll pass the message on, but Harry prunes all ours”- within the hour, Pilkington arrived at the couple’s house by bicycle, equipped with pruning shears. Even as a Governor of the Bank of England, Pilkington cycled around London, “to the delight and consternation of those who knew him.”

Then Justin Walker explains how he became interested in the money system, having an uncle who was a governor of the Bank of England from the 1950s to the 1970s, Sir Harry Pilkington. Harry explained to the young Justin, aged 16, that the bankers controlled the press and the politicians here in Britain, so not to believe either. Justin goes on to explain what a propagandised Britain we live in, with the rights of juries to reject bad laws and find people not guilty if they disagree with the law. At the heart of it all is the system of money creation and what is effectively a power cult, which is heading for a corporate tyranny and Orwellian future.
