ever wonder why there is ridges on coins?

"Early in his reign Edward drew up severe laws, forbidding Jews to hold real property, enjoining on them the wearing of the distinctive and degrading Jewish dress, which was bidding fair to become obsolete, and prohibiting usury altogether. [In the book, The Parliament Rolls of Medieval England, 1275-1504: I: Edward I. 1275-1294, [15] the Statutem de Judeismo or Statute regarding Jewry, was never mentioned but this Royal Edict was meant to eliminate usury. Only about 10,000 Jews were expelled from English territories at that time.]

The Jews knew no other way of living and turned in their distress to even less legitimate methods of earning a livelihood. They sweated and clipped the king’s coin so unsparingly that the prices of commodities became disorganized, and foreign merchants shunned a realm whose money standard fluctuated so widely and constantly. [Note: The term "clip joint" is derived from this meaning of the word "clip." Also, if you look at the ridges on the edge of an American dime or quarter, you will see ridges. The ridges are there today only for decoration but this ridging was introduced to coinage in Europe hundreds of years ago in order to frustrate the coin-clippers.] "

"In 1278, the royal vengeance came down upon the unlucky sweaters. Nearly three hundred Jews were imprisoned in the Tower on the charge of depreciating the coinage. More than two hundred of them were hanged and their goods confiscated to the Crown. But very few of the Christian goldsmiths and moneyers, who had been the partners of their guilt, were likewise partners in the punishment. Edward caused them to be arrested, but, with very few exceptions, they were released through the partiality of the Christian juries that tried them.

The lot of the Jews became constantly more grievous. The old charges of murdering Christian children were revived and eagerly believed in. Archbishop Peckham added to the thunders of the State the thunders of the Church. He finally closed up the synagogues altogether, and sternly rebuked Queen Eleanor for suffering her love of money to lend her into unholy alliances with Jews against Christian landowners. But if Edward’s wife was lukewarm, his mother, Eleanor of Provence, who now played at being a nun, urged on her son to harsh measures against the blasphemers.

In 1267, during Edward’s long absence abroad, all the Jews from England were imprisoned, and only released on payment of a huge fine. A little later Edward banished the Jews from Guienne. On his return to England, he applied the same policy to his island kingdom. In 1290 he finally expelled the Jews from England. But he allowed them to take with them their movable property, and sternly punished the brutal sailors of the Cinque Ports who had robbed and murdered their Jewish passengers on their way over the Channel.

The expulsion of the Jews was a popular act, and the parliament granted Edward a fifteenth as a thank-offering. The king was himself a heavy loser by the transaction, and was thought to have shown rare unselfishness and high religious principle in consenting to get rid of a race so profitable to the royal exchequer. But the Jews were no longer indispensable. Christian usurers from Cahors in Guienne and from northern Italy had deprived them of their monopoly. The Italian agents of Edward’s finances were soon as much hated as the Jews themselves had been."

Ever wonder why scientists and investigators are forbidden to conduct testing on the “Ovens” at Aushwitz?….Because the Holohoax never happened. It would have taken decades to dispatch six million people at the height of a war that Germany was losing and there were never six million jews in Europe to begin with.

eye would have to agree with you, especially with all the newspaper articles that were talking about "6 million Jews being persecuted" in the 1900's, 1910's and 1920's...

that makes it abundantly clear, like the geek in the Encyclopedia Britannica commercials used to say...

those jewish people in the camps in Germany died because the USA and England, with the battery in their back inserted by the jewish devils, bombed Germany to smithereens and basically a lot people in Germany starved to death, including those in the camps....

There's also the issue of the missing ash piles. Incinerating millions of Jews would lead to massive, mountainous piles of ash. Needless to day, there is no ash, just as their was no systematic killing of these Jews despite the fact that many of them probably deserved to be put to death for their crimes against the German people.

I guess the devil match was just invented, the friction match, and people needed a thing to strike light the match for their cigars. Put them on jackknives also, google match striker on pocket knives.
