This post gets to the heart of the Matter, Frances Leaders post compendium on the Black Nobility is what you seek.
"When you refer to the Jesuits/Black Nobility, I take it that stands for the Sabbatian Frankist Freemasonic Crypto-Jewish cabal.... right?" asked a friend, confused after reading one of my articles.
I replied:
No, I do not refer to Crypto Jews.
I mean the Roman Empire and its Catholic Church plus all its globalist totalitarian aristocratic backers.
“The Zionists are Nimrodists and are the arch enemy of the Jews”.

A History of Central Banking and the Enslavement of Mankind is Stephen Mitford Goodson’s companion volume to Inside the South African Reserve Bank Its Origins and Secrets Exposed. While the latter volume describes the mechanics of the fraudulent usury banking system, with a focus on Goodson’s experiences as a director of the SA Reserve Bank, this volume expands the focus to encompass the role of banking and money in history from ancient times to the present. The role of money-lenders in history was once aptly termed by many acute observers as the “Hidden Hand.” It is the power to create, lend and accumulate interest on “credit,” and then re-lend that interest for further interest, in perpetuity, that creates pervasive, worldwide debt, from the individual, to the family, to the entire state. The ability to operate a fraudulent credit and loan system has long been known, and through all the slickness of a snake-oil salesman, the money-lenders – the same types Jesus whipped from the Temple – have persuaded governments that banking is best left to private interests. Many wars, revolutions, depressions, recessions, and other social upheavals, have been directly related to the determination of these money-lenders to retain and extend their power and profits. When any state, individual or idea has threatened their scam they have often responded with wars and revolutions. The cultural and material progress of a civilization will often relate to the degree by which it is free from the influence of debt, and the degradation that results when the money-lenders are permitted to regain power. Hence, Goodson shows that both World Wars, the Napoleonic wars, the American Revolution, the rise and fall of Julius Caesar, the overthrow of Qathafi in Libya and the revolution against Tsar Nicholas, among much else relate to this “Hidden Hand” in history. This is the key to understanding the past, present and future.

How Usury Destroyed the Roman Empire
The Copper Age (753 – 267BC)
The Silver Age (267 – 27BC)
The Jewish Role in the Collapse
The truth of Zionism, a Christian ruse, can be understood by researching Nimrod and his opposing relationship to the Jews. He was an Empire builder and a grandson of Noah. He defied God in his quest to create a global empire, something the Black Nobility are still working on today.
NWO is real and is NOW.
The Black Nobility view the world as a GAP & CORE binary world.
If you live in the GAP you have two choices: DIE OR MIGRATE.
If you live in the CORE you have NO choice: ACCEPT MIGRANTS, POVERTY AND DEBT.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Butler
Eric Dudley Butler (7 May 1916 – 7 June 2006) was an Australian political activist and journalist, who in 1946 founded the far-right Australian League of Rights, which he led until 1992. He was known as a staunch anti-communist and virulent anti-Semite. He died in Victoria in 2006, aged 90.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._H._Douglas
Death and legacy
Douglas died in his home in Fearnan, Scotland. Douglas and his theories are referred to several times (unsympathetically) in Lewis Grassic Gibbon’s trilogy A Scots Quair. He is also mentioned, together with Karl Marx and Silvio Gesell, by John Maynard Keynes in The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money (1936, p. 32). Douglas’s theories permeate the poetry and economic writings of Ezra Pound. Robert Heinlein’s first novel For Us, The Living: A Comedy of Customs describes a near future United States operating according to the principles of social credit.
The real fight was between the Money Power and Monarchy, with the victory of the Money Power
in 1688 when James II was driven off the throne by his son-in-law, William III, who was brought to
Britain at the behest of the financial interests. The Bank of England was formed six years later—
1694—and with it began the National Debt. The Bank was formed for the purpose of lending money
to the crown and was modeled on the Bank of Amsterdam, founded in 1609, the first bank in
Northern Europe. The part played by Jews in this formation of the modern banking system, together
with the modern Stock Exchange, was considerable.
Calvanism is arguably by far the most telling influence on the course of British Political Economy. See Thierry Meyssan.
The desire for a ‘Jewish Homeland’ among the Jewish Diaspora is commonly understood to explain the origins of political Zionism in the mid-late 19th century; but that is only part of the story. This article is a brief introduction to the key role of the inheritors of Oliver Cromwell’s ‘Commonwealth’ in its realisation in the State of Israel by actively seeking to harness the Diaspora to their purposes.
Sir John Houblon (13 March 1632 – 10 January 1712) was the first Governor of the Bank of England from 1694 to 1697.
The Houblon family were Huguenots from Lille and he later became an elder in the French Protestant Church of London in Threadneedle Street.[1] He married Mary Jurin in 1660, who came from a Flemish Protestant family and they had five sons and six daughters, but only two sons survived their father. They lived in a magnificent house just off Threadneedle Street on the site later occupied by the Bank of England and he also acquired a country house at High Ongar in Essex.[2] He became Sheriff of the City of London in 1689, an Alderman from 1689 to 1712, and Master of the Grocer’s Company from 1690 to 1691. He was Lord Mayor in 1695.

Stephen Mitford Goodson's Inside the South African Reserve Bank Its Origins and Secrets Exposed sweeps aside the usual dust of economic theory to provide a thoroughly engaging account on the origins and purposes of the Republic's central banking institution. Goodson does so as an "outsider" on the "inside," a proponent of banking reform who became a non-executive director of the SA Reserve Bank. What Goodson found was ineptitude, corruption, careerism, ignorance and scandal. When Goodson became too troublesome for the status quo, he was removed, smeared, and attempts were made to legally silence him. Here Goodson not only gives an account of his time within the SA Reserve Bank, but places the bank within its historical context, having been established as part of a world-wide agenda orchestrated by Montagu Norman, governor of the Bank of England, to create "central banks" throughout the world as part of a global financial system controlled by international financiers. Those who figured prominently in imposing this fraudulent financial system on South Africa were Jan Smuts, and his friend and adviser Henry Strakosch, whose closeness to Winston Churchill is also shown to be of world historical significance. The only voices raised in opposition to this deceptively-named "central banking" were from the Labour Party. Those voices have long gone from anything still calling itself "Labour," in South Africa as elsewhere. However, there were alternatives, such as the use of state banking in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Japan and Italy, and the enduring example of North Dakota. Goodson examines each of these. Moreover, he provides a series of appendices on draft legislation for exactly how a sound banking system could be implemented, creating for the first time genuine sovereignty, prosperity and justice.
The main mark of modern governments is that we do not
know who governs, de facto any more than de jure.
We see the politician and not his backer, or what is most
important of all, the banker of that backer.
Throned above all, in a manner without parallel
in all the past, is the veiled prophet of finance,
swaying all men by some sort of magic.– G. K. Chesterton

Stephen Mitford Goodson died of a "heart attack" in 2018, but I'd like to think he'd approve of this narration. I've hated fractional reserve central banking since watching The Money Masters nearly 10 years ago, but this book took my hatred to new levels—especially because I'm of mostly German descent. I bought 10 copies to spread the word, but most people will listen to a 3 hour podcast before reading a single sentence in a book, so I decided to make this. I own no rights to this book and will never try to make a single penny from it. At first, I just wanted a clean recording. Then I wanted to include the text...and the footnotes...and the images...and then I figured every slide should have an image...and soon this project consumed five months of my free time. When I couldn't find an image that represented a given slide, I tried to find a beautiful photo of that country's scenery or its currency, political cartoons from the era, or relevant images from my meme folder. When all else fails, you get the wall of text. I'll be the first to admit that Stephen Mitford Goodson didn't get everything right (particularly nukes), but on balance, I believe his book is hugely important and needs to be understood by more people. Yes, this is dense, and arguably too fast. But I hope you, dear reader, investigate every single claim in this book for yourself. I hope you make some nutritious food (no seed oils!) while showing this to friends. I hope you become a beacon of remoralization for everyone in your circle. It's not going to be easy, but we ARE are going to make it. 0:00 Chapter 1 - How Usury Destroyed the Roman Empire 15:57 Chapter 2 - The Hidden Origins of the Bank of England 45:58 Chapter 3 - Napoléon and the Banque de France 1:02:28 Chapter 4 - A Century of Struggle: Rothschild versus the People 1:54:48 Chapter 5 - The Great Depression 2:25:23 Chapter 6 - The Rise and Fall of State Banking (1932-1945) 2:56:11 Chapter 7 - Modern Forms of State Banking 3:07:43 Chapter 8 - The Banking Crisis

USURY HELLS FUEL AND MANS OPPRESSOR.
Premiere Reading
New Reading and Introduction
In the Bankers House.
The Banker sits in luxury footmen in attendance and Wife and mother seated in equal pomp and finery. Business is being discussed…
Wife, ”Tell me dear, didn’t the king look un-well at the ceremony this afternoon ?”
Mother. ”He always was a nervous boy. When your Father and I used attend the Old Kings ceremonies, the Young prince as he was then, never seemed as right.”
Wife. ”Mother in Law when you and father in law knew the old king and we were not as rich as we are now. Now my husband has prospered as the new kings ambitions have overstretched his purse and I wondered if my Banker Husband had such concerns.”
Banker. ”My Father did much service to the old king, the new king does much service for us now in return”.
Wife. ”Tell me my banker husband where did your father and his fathers father, find the wit to have the king grant you privilege to create the tokens, how many of them do you have where were they found?”
Banker. ”Its a long story, let us take our leisure in the drawing room, that I might Smoke and have a brandy. My great Great Grandfather Sailed away to Xanadhu the year was 1249 and the Captain on board ship ship was Marco Polo…”
”We lived in venice when Marco Polo returned
He told of Kubla khans riches.
Khans riches flowed from a strange Alchemy,
Money from Trees, Bark from Mulberry´s.
Denominated and sizes, under seal of the Khan.
Fein deafness to the khans bark on pain of death!
They serve as good as gold, a fraction of the weight.
All foreign merchants sell to khans monopoly,
the merchants trade with paper in the kingdom”
Such power as this with a twist of usury,
we innovate Marco Polos discovery.
Creating the money but not the means to meet the usury
all wealth guaranteed to flow back to the issuer.
Money newly grown on trees, with usury sportingly absent.
Surely a creature who´s Bark is not worse than its bite?
kings now borrowed for rivals to smite.
Bankers became emperors. Usury were the real fangs.´´

“AGES AGO,” URTHRED CONTINUED, “WE CERTAINLY USED TO SPEAK

Globalisation Un-Entangled.
the idea before it was clothed in words
heard in minds, as uttered thought
the communication of arranged ideas
Thoughts lifting mist from the poet´s page.
To set the stage, not in the round
but, to see the scene in the sphere
Which actors will the playwright lay
on the page´s narrative to steer.
Which course to meet
who to set upon the bridge
For strength of Bulls Wall Street
of Bears & onion domes upon our chart
A heroes pride found in Britannia’s isles
Monks ´´sans humilite´´ fane ease
Like Pope we find our actors
´´All, all alike, find reason on their side´´
mais par impatience de souffrir
On the present discontents, Burke opined
Putin ,Trump and Farage set courses un-entangled
Junker , Merkel, Call for straight ahead.
Few are the partisans of departed tyranny
of Globalism or Nationalism which be the tyrant?
Yet passions are deceiving someone,
so near 50 years behindhand a hero fell.

“He told me that he had received my book late one evening, and had read through the three volumes before he closed his eyes. Thus, what had cost me twelve months' labour, ceaseless heartaches and industry, now sinking in despair, and now roused and sustained in unusual energy, he went over in a few hours, shut the book, laid himself on his pillow, slept, and was refreshed, and cried,
"Tomorrow to fresh woods and pastures new."
That part of the Preface to Caleb Williams has stayed with me over the years along with the preface to An Essay On Man by Pope written by the publisher Henry Morely. I started writing this Novel back in 2016 and have returned to my notes periodically over the past 7 and a half years. It’s a Narrative for all seasons really, and the novel has a Multi-Media website to accompany the Novel.
Series Description: A TRILOGY IN FOUR PARTS. Conquest of Dough, The Novel.
The Conquest Of Dough Kindle Edition
by Roger Lewis
The Conquest of Dough is a metaphorical parable about sourdough bread and a legendary Syrian Sourdough that is smuggled out of Aleppo. The challenges and reflections of the guardians of the dough's esoteric mysteries, and why the dark-hearted breed of men who seek to destroy it are all tackled. Dough is the metaphor for Money which examines another of my areas of work, Monetary reform activism. The Finale of Conquest of Dough is a hilarious Romp through the social aspects of attitudes prevalent in the class from which one of the main protagonists Bunto comes from. In correspondence and reportage Bunto can be seen parodying himself whilst pretending his legend remains what it once was. The Novel closes with parts 2 and 3 of the epic poem trilogy started in 2016 with Usury hells fuel man's oppressor, Conquest of Dough is the completion of The Trilogy in 4 parts. The trilogy goes around and into themes of democracy, political economy, and social manners and morals. Most of All, Dough, Bread, Dosh, Arians, Gelt, Lucre, Money, Credit, Currency, Usury, and power. What is it? and how is it done? there are various political episodes in my lifetime I wish to satirise in poetry. Epic Poetry is my preferred medium for satirising matters of Political Economy.
This Novel, The Conquest of Dough is informed by a Trilogy of poems on Political Economy. These can be read on the author's Blog, Usury Hells Fuel appears in the 2020 collection of poems. Bourgois Resolution and Globalisation Unentangled appear in the closing two chapters of The Conquest of Dough, Usury Hell's Fuel is re-printed as well as:

September 21, 2017, 3 Minutes
“My first and lasting reaction to your poems was, Wonderful. Here is a poet who can engage with the pressing and vital concerns of our times. As did Blake in his time. While others were still trilling away about rural idylls and flute-playing shepherds. Blake took those forms and images and confronted the brutalities of his age with an art renewed. In his own way, Roger is doing the same.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Thus, the social, political, and economic commentary made throughout this book touched close to home and struck a cord with me.
Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2016
Reviewer: Kwame Ansah Jr First of all, I have a short attention span but was able to read through these poems with ease. I must say that I do have a bias to this type of poetry because I'm very much in tune with politics and economics. Thus, the social, political, and economic commentary made throughout this book touched close to home and struck a cord with me. Furthermore, I acknowledged and enjoyed the brief descriptions to each poem as well as the quotes included throughout the book. Job well done Roger Lewis!

Introduction, What Why and How, a note On SCADS and Conspiracies.
In Setting Out these pages I am acutely aware that with each link, each map and each Film, readers are on the edge of a Labyrinth of rabbit holes and may be nervous of the charge, if found furtively, browsing these pages of, "Conspiracy Theorist". Take heart, no conspiracies are required. What is, however, apparent is manipulation, especially of the psychological variety. Fear of the label Conspiracy Theorist is but one such of these psychological manipulations. ( See SCADS for further re-assurance.)
So for negotiating this Labyrinth, I offer this rather long, although informative, Ball of String ( As Ariadne gave to Theseus), a Dialogue that was published in the early seventies of a disputation between Skousen and Quigley,Authors both of Two Books dealing with the same material as dealt with here on this site and by extention the Novel , "The Conquest of Dough"

RUSKINS CRITIQUE OF CLASSICAL POLITICAL ECONOMY.
Every capitalist of Europe has acquired his fortune by following
the known laws of our science, and increases his capital daily by
an adherence to them. It is vain to bring forward tricks of
logic, against the force of accomplished facts. Every man of
business knows by experience how money is made, and how it is
lost.”
Pardon me. Men of business do indeed know how they themselves
made their money, or how, on occasion, they lost it. Playing a
long-practised game, they are familiar with the chances of its
cards, and can rightly explain their losses and gains. But they
neither know who keeps the bank of the gambling-house, nor what
other games may be played with the same cards, nor what other
losses and gains, far away among the dark streets, are
essentially, though invisibly, dependent on theirs in the lighted
rooms. They have learned a few, and only a few, of the laws of
mercantile economy; but not one of those of political economy.
