In 1881 the Ottoman Debt had been consolidated and reduced to £160,000,000 Sterling. It was administered by a commission of the Public Debt, representing the creditors and under the control of France and England. The Commission ran the State Monopolies on Salt, Tobacco, etc., as well as the collection of various taxes. “ The whole system impaired Turkey’s sovereign rights.” [The Diaries of Theodor Herzl, page 139]
On June 17th 1896, on the Orient Express, that other wandering Jew, Theodor Herzl wrote in his Diaries: “Nevlinski believes that the Sultan’s only salvation lies in an alliance with the Young Turks - who for their part are on good terms with the Macedonians, Cretans, Armenians, etc., and in putting through reforms with their help. He had given this counsel to the Sultan in a report.
I [Theodor Herzl] said, that in addition to this program he should provide with Jewish help, the means to carry it out.”
“Let the Sultan give us that parcel of land [Palestine] and in return we would set his house in order, regulate his finances, and influence world opinion in his favour...”
“Unprepared as I was, I merely said to him that we were figuring that we could give some 20 million pounds for Palestine...We devoted 20 million Turkish pounds towards the regularisation of the Turkish finances. Of that sum we give two millions in exchange for Palestine - the amount being based on a capitalisation of its present annual revenue (T80,000). With the remaining 18 millions we free Turkey from the European-controlled Commission.” [Sir Vincent Henry Pensalver Caillard was one of the heads of the Ottoman Public Debt Council]
“The first four categories of bond-holders are induced by the privileges we grant them - viz: increased rates of interest, extension of amortisation period, etc. - to agree to the suppression of the Commission.” [The Diaries of Theodor Herzl, pages 140-141]
The above confirms the following statement by the former Bank of England director Lord Stamp: “Banking was conceived in iniquity and born in sin. Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them with the power to create credit, and with a flick of the pen they will create enough money to buy it all back again. Take this power away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine would disappear, and they ought to disappear, for then this world would be a happier and better world to live in. But if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then continue to let bankers control money and control credit.”
