Joseph P. Farrell

This book sounded really good, and the ideas are fascinating, but I couldn't finish it. I got to page 42. It's not anything wrong with the book, really. It's just that there is too much detail and scientific explanation. Which is great if your brain can process all that. Science has never been my strong suit and I zone out a little during those segments. That doesn't bode well when the whole book is scientific detail. The part I read sounded fascinating, and I'm sure that this would be a great read for someone with an open mind, who can handle all the science.

I won this book in a Goodreads First Reads giveaway.… (mehr)

Whoever thought a history book could be this exciting! In the "Financial Vipers of Venice", Joseph P Farrell investigates the activities of the "banksters" that moved from Mesopotamia (as discussed in Babylon's Banksters) to Venice. The book makes for interesting reading as Farrell follows Venetian activities, including the manipulation of Popes, Kings and princes, the manipulation of bullion prices, clipped coins, sacking of Constantinople, destruction of Florence, waging wars, assassinations, and suppressed hidden secrets that threatened their financial supremacy (old Christopher Columbus makes an appearance here). In this book, Farrell shows how the modern global economy began in the Middle Ages and also discusses the origin of money.

This book is interesting and well-written. I hope he publishes the next book(s?) soon as I can't wait to find out what shenanigans the Annuitary Asps of Amsterdam, the Collateralized Cobras of the City of London and the Weasels of Wall Street were/are up to.
