WILLIAM CRUMLEY I have recently published a new book on the cost of war. The book is entitled "Surrogate Wars: A Real Look At War" The book looks at not only the high cost of war but the effect of debt on the governments of the world. The book looks at Native Americans in Louisiana being sold guns for 15 or 20 times what other commodities cost. When they were unable to pay, their land was taken in payment. Then the book looks at how central banks use this same technique on governments and control them. The third chapter looks at our own central bank, the Federal Reserve and how it controls our government. The book looks at persons who attempted to change this situation. It looks at the economic effect of various treaties. It looks at some of the current institutions which continue this policy and offers some suggestions re: what we can do.

William Crumley CSC REVIEWS From The Banner Tribune Franklin, Louisiana USA The Economics of War Author Expresses Dollar-Driven Motivation for International Combat CHARENTON, La. The fact that weapons of mass destruction were never found have Americans questioning the reasons behind the Iraqi invasion. In his book, Surrogate Wars: A Real Look at Wars (now available through Blackwell‘s), Rev. William Crumley offers insight into today’s conflicts by revealing a history of hidden agendas. In Surrogate Wars, he examines how money has been used as a manipulation tool throughout history. Crumley begins by discussing the deals between European settlers and American Indians, which forced the natives into debt. Then, Crumley takes readers into the early 20th century. Central banks were created in Europe to gain control of less wealthy nations by exercising a credit system. The power of these institutions expanded rapidly during the expensive rebuilding efforts that were necessary after World Wars I and II. Surrogate Wars also describes the potent influence of America’s central bank, the Federal Reserve, on this country and others. Crumley writes how this system of private bankers has manipulated the U.S. government by propagating debt. He details the main purpose of the Federal Reserve issued money, which he says is to fund weapons manufacturing and U.S. military activity. In addition, Crumley discusses John F. Kennedy’s attempts to loosen the Federal Reserve’s grip on the government before his death. Crumley shares his research on the United Nations, the Bank for International Settlements and NATO, and shows how these organizations have influences global interactions. He also writes how, after years of being manipulated, some nations in the Middle East are fighting back by implementing new economic systems. A thoroughly researched and enlightening examination of the financial fuel behind military endeavors, Surrogate Wars offers an important perspective on historic events and today’s conflicts.
