Zürich is located on the delta of the river Limmat as it connects to Zürich, approximately 30 km north of the Alps. Today it is the largest in Switzerland and the capital of the canton of Zürich. It is also by far the wealthiest city in the world being the real centre of capital markets of private banks and insurance for over 700 years. |
| |
Origin of Zürich |
| |
Similar to Munich, Zürich is said to have begun as Salt store and taxing station. A thousand years ago Salt was considered as valuable as gold and for many cultures represented a defacto currency. |
| |
It is claimed in some historical accounts that Louis the German granted the lands to the Benedictines as early as 835. However this is impossible as the real benedictines-- the Cistercian monks did not come into being until the early 12th century under Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153). |
| |
From the early 12th Century, under the reforms of Bernard of Clairvaux, the Cistercian monks were given the authority as tax collectors and administrators for the legitimate Catholic Church. Monastaries were deliberately built around ancient Roman salt and tax stations to protect the valuable salt and the monks. This is the most likely date for the establishment of a Cistercian monastery and fortifications. |
| |
Similar to other salt and tax forts such as Munich, Zürich would have thrived as a centre of trade, exchange and wealth. While the claims that King Henry III in 1045 permitted markets, collected tolls and minted coins are deliberately false (by at least 100 years), by the 12th Century is certain the monastery did mint coins and permit markets for trade and exchange. |
| |
The origin and meaning of the name Zürich |
| |
It is important to note, that there is no credible evidence to suggest the name of the trade settlement was called Ziu-richi prior to the 13th Century. The name is from Old High German -- a language that did not exist prior to the 11th and 12th centuries. So any claimed evidence to the contrary must be considered fraudulent. |
| |
Indeed the name Zürich which comes directly from the combination of the two Old High German words Ziu-richi is especially significant. The name literally means "A place where the Ziu rule over the land"--or more simply "the city of the gods". |
| |
The name is no coincidence. It is a deliberate named created by none other than Rudolph Habsburg when he succeeded in seizing control of this valuable tax and trade settlement . |
| |
The rise of the Habsburgs and Zürich |
| |
Until the beginning of the 13th Century, the lands upon which Zürich is placed had been under the control of the House of Zähringen for a little over 100 years. When Duke Berchtold V of Zähringen (1186-1218) --the founder of the city of Bern--died, his lands were split between a number of competing groups of nobles. |
| |
The Counts of Kyburg were eventually successful in defending their claim to the most valuable lands of Zürich (and the tax/trade post). However, the House of Kyberg were all eventually killed off and at the death of Count Hartmann VI of Kyberg and his family in 1264, Rudolph of Habsburg claimed Zürich and the adjacent lands for himself. |
| |
The nobles lines of the Habsburg's prior to Rudolph are highly questionable, with the stories of his relationship to Emperor Frederick II and his con Conrad IV of Germany simply bold faced lies. It is quite possible he entered the nobility through marriage, to the daughter of Ulrich, Count of Kyberg and therefore used this as his "claim" when the Kyberg family were killed. |
| |
In a striking similarity to the lords of rival city Munich --the Wittelsbachs -- Rudolph showed no qualms in using the war between the legitimate Catholic Popes and the AntiPopes of the Roman Cult as well as the feud between the Hohenstaufen and the Welfs for his own personal and family gain. |
| |
In 1268, Conrad (falsely split into two characters to make historical analysis difficult) was captured and executed in Naples. With only a two year old son as heir, the Hohenstaufen were finished. In a bold move, Rudolph petitioned AntiPope Gregory X (1271-1276) to be officially recognized as King of Germany --a heretical and wholly unfounded act. However, thanks to the alliance with the Lombardy Princes, Rudolph prevailed with his false claim and focused on making Zürich a great city. |
| |
The creation of the great "lie" of usury and Zürich |
| |
While Zürich and the Habsburgs profited in their unholy alliance with the AntiPopes of the Roman Cult, it was the creation of one of the greatest lies and confidence tricks in human history in 1276 the guaranteed Zürich would remain the wealthiest city in the world and the future of the Roman Cult -- the lie of "usury". |
| |
In 1276 Rudolph I with the assistance of AntiPope Gregory simultaneously declared "usury" or the charging of interest and financial transactions -- vital for trade and business -- a mortal sin for any Christian publishable by death. Meanwhile Rudolf declared the infamous servi camerae ("serfs of the treasury"), in which the wealthiest Jewish merchants were press-ganged into the service of the Roman Cult and the Habsburgs. |
| |
Rudolph then moved many of these wealthy Jewish trading families to his home base of Zürich to now manage the greatest financial monopoly ever created in history. Incredibly, it is falsely believed by most people to this day that original Christian teaching as formed by Emperor Constantine in 326 forbid usury as a crime -- a horrendous and ridiculous lie. Similarly, many scholars believe that only Jewish Sephardic families had control over finance during the middle ages -- again a complete lie until 1276. |
| |
The size of this Great Lie defies belief. Within ten years of this supreme heresy by the AntiPopes and their vassals, Zürich was the wealthiest city in the world -- a position it has held and protected for 700 years. |
