Mark of the BIS

7

HQ of the Bank of International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, commissioned around 1971. In German a way of writing Basel would be Baßel, using their Eszett letter, but Swiss German does not use the ß so this could not be a homage to the Tower of Babel, and the BIS system does not equate to anything biblical. (cough)

Just wondering, why was German money called Marks anyway?

Money is how you get people to do things they might not otherwise want to do.

There seems to be no way of getting around the stuff.

Check out the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories (CSL) share price in the years before the Covid production. In the year 2000 you could buy a share for about $5. Those in the know were buying it right up to 2020, at about $300, then they seemed to lose interest. Bill Gates said “the next pandemic will get some attention” and we are still waiting for that one. Meanwhile, since around 2020, the market insiders don’t seem too concerned with a potential sudden need for large volumes of serum.

 

Now look at the share price rise of Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), which has picked up where CSL left off, mysteriously outpacing its rival banks by a fantastic proportion. From 2013 it took off, then from 2024, it went exponential. How did CBA streak ahead?

The word is that CBA has teamed up with Amazon. The frontman of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, is the grandson of a founder of DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research outfit of the US military or MIC, or more accurately a hybridised entity somewhere in between. The technology they possess must be horrific.

Amazon monopoly logistics and finance merges CBA with the entire galaxy of technocracy, including CIA, MI5, Mossad, Palantir, Oracle, Skynet, StarLink plus the lesser known “StarShield” (also running on Musk’s platform) for the intelligence agencies.

The burgeoning surveillance infrastructure in Australia is overseen by the Dept of Home Affairs, which has set up an office here: https://www.cisc.gov.au/

As of late 2025, the Home Affairs portfolio includes multiple ministers and assistant ministers. The current ministers are The Hon Tony Burke MP, The Hon Dr Anne Aly MP, and The Hon Kristy McBain MP (regional disaster manager). Minister Aly is being rewarded for keeping quiet about Gaza. The assistant ministers are The Hon Matt Thistlethwaite MP (migration policy), The Hon Josh Wilson MP (Climate Change), and The Hon Julian Hill MP (International students).

Previously there were three ministers, most prominent was the WEF’s Claire O’neill, who along with Andrew Giles, were demoted, while Murray Watt avoided the immigration fallout and therefore got himself promoted to Environment Minister. He lives approx. 5km from the ABC and can’t seem to keep away from it, he could therefore take some credit for the rise of Pauline Hanson.

TB is watching you: Tony Burke has subdued his smirk, after a decades long battle.

In the good old days the CBA used to host the functions of the Reserve Bank of Australia, money printing etc., this was during the post-war nation building phase which was terminated and consigned to a slow death by the Reserve Bank Act 1959, available here: https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/num_act/rba195941959157/rba195941959157.pdf or at Amazon if you wish to pay.

A very brief Act, a preliminary sort of thing, here is part of it:

11.-(1.) The Board shall, from time to time, inform the ,o Government of the monetary and banking policy of the Bank.

(2.) In the event of a difference of opinion between the Government and the Board whether that policy is directed to the greatest advantage of the people of Australia, the Treasurer and the Board shall endeavour to reach agreement.

(3.) If the Treasurer and the Board are unable to reach agreement, the Board shall forthwith furnish to the Treasurer a statement in relation to the matter in respect of which the difference of opinion has arisen.

(4.) The Treasurer may then submit a recommendation to the Governor-General, and the Governor-General, acting with the advice of the Federal Executive Council, may, by order, determine the policy to be adopted by the Bank.

The treasurer would like us to think he has no governance, perhaps this is “by convention”. Very wishy-washy stuff, and here is more:

  1. The net profits of the Bank in each year arising from business carried on under this Part shall be dealt with as follows:- (a) such amount as the Treasurer, after consultation with the Board, determines shall be placed to the credit of the Reserve Bank Reserve Fund; and (b) the remainder shall be paid to the Commonwealth.

Virtually all of the RBA’s physical gold is held at the Bank of England in London, and the old saying “Possession is nine-tenths of the law” (credited as derived from the Scottish expression “possession is eleven points in the law, and they say there are but twelve”) probably applies, if the crunch comes.

Treasurer Costello sold 167 tonnes (approx. 5.4 million ounces) in 1997 for around US$300 an ounce, current price is over US$4,300. There are 80 tonnes left, just over four cubic metres. Western Australia extracts more than 200 tonnes each year.

Physical gold is useful for fractional reserve banking and where idle can be leased out for inventories, for future industrial requirements, since banking involves selling the future, as much as you dare. The Australian gold does not sit idle and the RBA says some of it has been melted down and re-cast. The easiest way to test the authenticity of a bar of gold is to crack it open.

The BIS started out with a shares subscription, each share costing private investors about US$25,000 in today’s money. The dividends paid were roughly around a P/E ratio of 16:1, until 2001 AD when the private shares were forcibly repurchased.

Now the BIS is fully self-sustaining and self-regulating, claiming transparency but the legendary Swiss secrecy speaks for itself. It claims to split profits between building reserves and paying dividends, but the claimed dividends do not seem to appear on the RBA side, instead they are allocated SDRs (Special Drawing Rights), a type of credit card which were used in particular in the leadup to the Covid production.

Basically we have a shell game, where the future of the pea has been sold for umpteen years ahead, and nobody is willing to take a snapshot of where things are at any given time, for fear of one party or another being compromised.

The BIS must be useful for any type of major transaction, especially where unnecessary questions are not asked. Switzerland of course remains neutral so the less said the better. Essentially, every country in the world has free access to it, even if in the case of North Korea for example, it is via China. Countries can be at war with each other and still do deals on the private side, which is just as well or the war might run out of money. If your country is in danger of economic collapse, what is the traditional safe haven currency? The Swiss Franc. Switzerland can provide all the necessary financial infrastructure for your war and even ensure that your money is not lost. The beauty of the BIS, within Switzerland, is that it can centralise everything. The Swiss are building hydro-electric plants as quickly as everyone else is building data centres. The RBA in Australia handles passports, we are the first country in the world to integrate citizen ID into global banking in this way.

Technocracy is laying claim to every aspect of our existence, just as forewarned so many centuries ago. Unfortunately, despite the miniaturisation, despite the global reach, despite the instantaneous results, it is not as sophisticated as actual nature itself and is therefore comparatively somewhat dull and uninteresting, except to small minds, whose intellectual development seems to have stopped around the level of Lego blocks and Meccano sets, and telling lies to mum about who ate the cookie. These are the small and simple minds of our would-be overlords.

Trump 45 with portrait of 7th President Andrew Jackson who famously dismantled the Second (National) Bank of the United States in 1836. Jackson viewed the Bank as a corrupt, “un-American monopoly” that served the interests of the wealthy elite and foreign investors at the expense of the common people. In 1833, Jackson ordered all federal funds to be removed from the Second Bank of the U.S. and redistributed them to various state banks. (Re-established in 1913 as the “Federal Reserve” under President Woodrow Wilson).

U.S. National Debt is currently over $38 trillion.
