WORLD
MONEY POWER III
Copyright February 2005 Charles Savoie
“Moore has the fastest financial mind
in existence. He can take a complex financial problem and do it in
his head without drawing a breath while talking.”
This was spoken by second-generation
Pilgrim Society member Walter Bigelow Wriston, chairman of
Citibank-Citicorp, 1970-1984, about Pilgrim Society member George
Stevens Moore, his predecessor as chairman of the huge bank. The
quotation appeared in Fortune, January 1976, page 123. At that time
Citicorp had branches in 104 countries. Moore was a director of
Credit Suisse White Weld, and of the Harriman-Rockefeller Union
Pacific Railroad. Wriston was a director of General Electric; Rand
Corporation; Chubb Corporation (insurance); United Meridian
Corporation; Fremont Group; York International; ICOS Corporation;
AEA Investors; Sequoia Ventures and others. Wriston’s father, who
was president of Brown University from 1937-1955, was a trustee of
the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, 1943-1954, and
president of the Pilgrim Society run Council on Foreign Relations,
1953-1964. I would have no definite way to establish membership of
any of these three in The Pilgrims, save for the leaked 1969 list!
Two of the biggest bankers on planet earth were important enough to
hold membership in this organization, and it was too blasted secret
for the public to know about! And we know how these megabankers
detest metallic money, since they cannot create it!
There is far more to be detailed about
The Pilgrims---London and New York, than can be done in 2 dozen
lengthy articles. However it won’t take so long to examine the most
relevant points. If you read the first two articles, you understand
that The Pilgrim Society came about as an alliance of big
monopolistic rich in the United States and Great Britain. The
driving force for the creation of the Society appears to be the
British Crown. If you saw “Braveheart” (1995) by Mel Gibson, you
saw the King of England reaching out to powerful nobles to make
secret alliances with them. England used to own the American
Colonies. The fact is it has never given up a disgusting dream of
bringing us back under Crown rule. The world is currently locked in
a struggle between the forces of “created” money issued by central
banks, and a movement to return to the use of true money---gold and
silver. The Pilgrims surely own huge amounts of physical gold and
in the case of Warren Buffet---very likely a member---physical
silver, so that no matter which way the outcome goes, they expect to
dominate.
The industrial base of the United
States has suffered tremendous erosion especially since 1990. China
is becoming the new powerhouse in terms of manufacturing capacity.
But this is largely due to low labor costs. I suggest that the
industrial and financial decline of the United States represents no
decline in the wealth and power of members of the Society. Since
they wish to abolish all borders, their assets are everywhere. My
belief is that Chinese leadership is under direct covert control
from New York and London; or, there is a cooperation taking place.
The British exploited China for centuries and their desire to
maintain control never ends. Baron Beresford, Admiral Charles
William de la Poer Beresford (born 1846), a founder of The Pilgrims
and close personal friend of King Edward VII (2002 book, page 14),
who bombarded Alexandria, Egypt in 1882, authored “The Break-up of
China” (1899). His brother, who attended a prep school
appropriately located in Stabbington, England, was Military Attaché
at the British Embassy in Saint Petersburg, Russia, 1898-1903. The
financial powers whose base originated in North America joined the
British Empire plan before the founding of the Society. Members of
The Pilgrims have been active since the very beginning first in
bringing the Bolsheviks to power in Russia, in the formation of the
U.S.S.R., in its industrial development and its break-up, and in the
transition of China first to Communist rule, now mutating into a
semi-capitalistic state. Below, Pilgrim Society member William A.
Hewitt, who married into the Deere fortune (chairman Deere &
Company, heavy agricultural machinery), who had close ties to the
governments of both the Soviet Union and Red China in that he was a
director of both the U.S.-U.S.S.R. Trade & Economic Council and the
National Council for U.S.-China Trade---
Hewitt was a director of Continental
Illinois National Bank; Continental Oil Company; A.T.&T. and advisor
to Chase Manhattan Bank, the most active bank in the world in
developing trade with the old Soviet Union, and with Red China.
Hewitt was a trustee of the Carnegie Endowment for International
Peace, whose founder Andrew Carnegie, Pilgrim Society member, was
openly loyal to the King of England, patron of The Pilgrims! Hewitt
was a director of the United Nations Association, a hopeful movement
for world government which the financiers expect to control, and
involved with many other Pilgrim Society fronts including Trilateral
Commission; Council of the Americas; Council on Foreign Relations;
Asia Society; Committee for Economic Development; National
Corporation for Housing Partnerships; Atlantic Institute for
International Affairs; Woodrow Wilson International Center for
Scholars; International Executive Service Corps; California
Institute of Technology and Stanford Research Council. Hewitt was
lieutenant commander on the battleship California in World War II
and his cabin mate was Gabriel Hauge, who became a Pilgrim Society
member, headed the big Manufacturers Hanover Trust, and sat on the
Bilderberg steering committee.
Then there’s David Rockefeller of The
Pilgrims, who has done, to all appearances, more to open up trade
with, and industrialization of, Russia and China than any other
Pilgrim Society member, opening a Moscow branch of his bank at 1
Karl Marx Square (below)---
Here’s Rockefeller with top Red
Chinese officials---
(U.S. News & World Report August 13,
1973) The caption above would more correctly read, “We Pilgrim
Society members are developing a broadly diversified industrial
structure within China. We are quite impressive (but unknown to the
public!)”
Why would Pilgrim Society members wish
to see Communist systems imposed on Russia in 1917 and China in
1949? These regions represented immense natural resources and over
a half billion people as of mid 20th century. It was necessary to
fasten an unproductive economic system upon these nations to prevent
them from becoming competitors in world markets UNTIL such time as
their productivity could be directed and harnessed by the
financiers. Is it really possible that Russian and Chinese leaders
are under the thumb of the international financiers? Either
control, or cooperation. But to see these bankers as Red agents is
totally preposterous.
Gary Allen in “None Dare Call It
Conspiracy” (1972), page 121 commented---
“A strange event occurred in October
1964. David Rockefeller, president of the Chase Manhattan Bank and
chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations, took a vacation in the
Soviet Union. This is a peculiar place for the world’s greatest
“imperialist” to vacation since much of Communist propaganda deals
with taking all of David’s wealth away from his and distributing it
to “the people.” A few days after Rockefeller ended his vacation in
the Kremlin, Nikita Khrushchev was recalled from a vacation at a
Black Sea resort to learn that he had been fired! As far as the
world knew, Khrushchev was absolute dictator of the Soviet
government and, more important, head of the Communist Party which
runs the USSR. Did David Rockefeller journey to the Soviet Union to
fire an employee? Obviously the position of premier in the Soviet
Union is a figurehead with the real power elsewhere. Perhaps in New
York.”
Is it possible for one man to command
such international power? Yes, provided he has the support of many
other powerful men---members of The Pilgrims on both sides of the
Atlantic. Note the jubilant Pilgrim Society member David
Rockefeller, who called $50,000 “a few cents” (“DAVID,” 1972, page
141) reveling in the knowledge of the plans shared with powerful
associates---
The financiers were interested not
only in exploitation of America in the nineteenth century, which
they did on the grand scale we read about last month. They are also
interested in global exploitation or “globalization.” According to
the back cover of “David: Report on a Rockefeller” (William Hoffman,
1971)---
“One President after another has
done his bidding. The Governor of the richest state in the
union is his brother. His life style would make Alexander the Great
weep with envy. The power he wields crosses all borders, can
make or destroy governments, start or stop wars, profoundly
influence everyone’s life---including yours! Yet by his own
careful design, few people have known anything about David
Rockefeller. Until now.”
The front cover caption reads---
“For David Rockefeller The Presidency
of the United States Would Be a Demotion! The Whole Story of the
Single Most Powerful Man in the World.”
It was a very good unauthorized
biography, but not quite the whole story. Hoffman apparently was
unaware of The Pilgrims and of David’s membership in it. The same
was true of Paul Mellon, another great book by the biographer.
Hoffman did note David’s founding of Bilderberg in 1954 (page 153)
and that his “influence with CFR is enormous” (page 155). The CFR---Council
on Foreign Relations, contains hundreds of Ambassadors to many
nations; Generals; Admirals; Federal Government officials;
corporation chairmen and directors; the biggest publishers; and
University presidents. Emanuel Josephson in his 1952 book,
“Rockefeller Internationalist” has a chapter from pages 204 through
231 called “The Rockefeller-Soviet Axis,” detailing Rockefeller
family involvement in building up Russia or the Soviet Union. Page
216 has him mentioning Ivy Lee, a Pilgrim Society member lieutenant
to inner core Pilgrim Society member John D. Rockefeller Jr.
(David’s father)---
“New fronts, hundreds of them, were
created and sponsored, fostered and financed by the Rockefellers,
their associates and allies, in order to build up sentiment in favor
of Soviet Russia and recognition of the Bolshevik regime. Ivy L.
Lee took seriously the assignment he was given by his employer, John
D. Rockefeller Jr. and his Standard Oil Company, to manage
pro-Bolshevik propaganda and to teach the Communists all he knew of
the art of propaganda and public relations. The Soviets, and Hitler
in the following decade, learned so much that made their poisonous
propaganda effective, from Rockefeller’s agent, wily Ivy Lee.
Following a two-week trip to Russia in May 1927, as representative
of the Rockefeller Empire, Lee was the first of a steady stream of
its emissaries who in the following decade, traveled to Russia as
guests of the Soviets. After his return from Russia, Ivy Lee wrote
and published a masterpiece of propaganda in favor of Russian
recognition. The first edition was printed and circulated under the
title, “The USSR, An Enigma.” Six months later a revised edition
was published by Macmillan under the title, “Present Day Russia.”
Lee was a lecturer in 1911-1912 at the
London School of Economics (paper money mob) and a member of the
Royal Economic Society (paper money mob). His son James (born 1906)
became a member. In 1928 Chase National Bank, headed by Pilgrim
Society member Albert H. Wiggin, and Equitable Trust Company, headed
by Pilgrim Society member Alvin W. Krech, sold Bolshevik Bonds in
the U.S., probably to the Pilgrim Society’s network, and made the
difference of keeping the Soviet regime from disintegrating! These
banks merged in 1930. Charles P. Coleman of The Pilgrims (born 1865)
who was associated with the Lehigh Valley Railroad (Vanderbilt and
Rockefeller ownership) was a director of the American-Russian
Chamber of Commerce from its founding in 1922. Harold B. Scott of
The Pilgrims, associated with the Pfizer pharmaceutical fortune
(Pratt family of Pilgrim Society members and Standard Oil heirs),
chaired the U.S.-U.S.S.R. Trade & Economic Council from 1973-1978
after heading the Overseas Private Investment Corporation.
In “Secrets of the Federal Reserve”
(1983) Eustace Mullins said (p. 85)---
“In Wilson’s war message in 1917, he
included an incredible tribute to the Communists in Russia who were
busily slaughtering the middle class in that unfortunate
country.”---
“Assurance has been added to our hope
for the future peace of the world by the wonderful and heartening
things that have been happening in Russia. Here is a fit partner
for a League of Honor.”
“Wilson’s paean to a bloodthirsty
regime which has since murdered sixty-six million of its inhabitants
in the most barbarous manner exposes his true sympathies and his
true backers, the bankers who financed the blood purge in Russia.
When the Communist Revolution seemed in doubt, Wilson sent his
personal emissary, Elihu Root, to Russia with one hundred million
dollars from his Special Emergency War Fund to save the toppling
Bolshevik regime.”
Wilson and Root were members of The
Pilgrims, and Root was once Secretary of State and an associate of
Pilgrim Society member Andrew Carnegie. Elihu Root---
William Averill Harriman of The
Pilgrims (whose second marriage was into the Whitney Standard Oil
fortune of Pilgrim Society members) became Ambassador to Russia in
1941. In 1979 we note another Pilgrim Society member, Thomas J.
Watson Jr. (below) of IBM (2nd generation member)
Ambassador to the USSR.
Gary Allen in “Building Communism”
(American Opinion, December 1975) said in a caption to three photos
on page 39---
“David Rockefeller and Soviet Premier
Aleksei Kosygin are shown above in Moscow as they work out American
support for the Communists. It is certainly nothing new. After the
Czar abdicated, Leon Trotsky was sent to Russia from New York on an
American passport supplied by Woodrow Wilson. The interim Socialist
boss in Moscow was A.F. Kerensky who spent the remainder of his days
in New York. When he died he left behind sealed records to be
opened after 1987 detailing the “conspiratorial organizations
modeled on freemasons lodges” which were responsible for the
revolution. It is now clear that an arcane conspiracy, backed by
finance capitalists in the United States, has been behind the
Reds from the beginning.”
This makes the second reference to
Masonry in this series. From what I’ve seen the ratio of Pilgrim
Society members who are also Masons is less than in the general
population, or no more so. Masonry per se is not something I’m
especially concerned with, however I wouldn’t be interested in
joining anything whose actions aren’t all available for public
view. I also hesitate at the idea of any policy by which favoritism
is enjoyed at public expense. The average Mason has very little in
common with this financier organization. I had a middle class uncle
who was a Mason; and a very wealthy uncle ($400 million ballpark
based on definite details) who was a Mason and a regent of Texas A &
M University. Royce E. Wisenbaker of Tyler, Texas, oil and gas
operator, water systems developer and construction contractor
(1917-2001) indicated he knew about The Pilgrims but was startled to
hear that I, his plain middle class nephew, had any such knowledge
and wanted to know how I gained information. He also called them
“criminals.” I see that recently the new chancellor of that
university is Mr. McTeer, former president of the Dallas Federal
Reserve Bank! But to return to The Pilgrims and their sponsorship
of totalitarian systems!
In “Czarism and Revolution” (1962) by
Arsene de Goulevitch, founder of the Union of Oppressed Peoples at
Paris, we find on page 230---
“On April 7, 1917, General Janin made
the following entry in his diary---he turned to the subject of the
Revolution which, he claimed, was engineered by the English and,
more precisely, by Lord Milner. Petrograd at the time was teeming
with English. He could, he asserted, name the streets and the
numbers of the houses in which British agents were quartered. They
were reported during the rising, to have distributed money to the
soldiers and incited them to mutiny. He personally had seen in
Millionnaia Street persons who he knew were British agents, handing
25 rouble notes to the men of the Pavlovski Regiment a few hours
before it turned coat and joined the revolution. In private
interviews I have been told that over 21 million roubles were spent
by Lord Milner in financing the Russian Revolution.”
Viscount Milner of The Pilgrim Society
(1854-1925) was the Englishman who supervised the destruction of
Dutch settlers in South Africa in the British Boer War. He was an
associate of Cecil Rhodes, who schemed the founding of The
Pilgrims. Both men were associates of Lord Rothschild and the
British Royal Family. The British Empire has always been about
running the world, or trying to. With the addition of their
American partners, the nineteenth century “robber barons,” plans
moved forward for wars, revolutions and upheavals. Reading from
pages 223-225---
“British and American. The main
purveyors of funds for the revolution, however, were neither the
crackpot Russian millionaires nor the armed bandits of Lenin. The
real money came from certain British and American circles which for
a long time past had lent their support to the Russian revolutionary
cause. Trotsky, in his book “My Life” speaks of a large loan
granted in 1907 by a financier belonging to the British Liberal
Party. This loan was to be repaid at some future date after the
overthrow of the Czarist regime. According to Trotsky, the
obligation was scrupulously met by the revolution. The financier
just mentioned was by no means alone among the British to support
the Russian revolution with large financial donations.”
“The important part played by the
wealthy American banker, Jacob Schiff in the events in Russia,
though as yet only partially revealed, is no longer a secret.
Referring to a telegram sent by Lord Rothschild to Wilhelm II on the
eve of war, Emil Ludwig, in his book “June 1914” says---“This
banker, with all that amount of Jewish money behind him, could have
embarrassed us as much as Schiff of New York embarrassed Russia.”
From the day he was placed at the head of Kuhn, Loeb & Company, one
of the influential American banking houses, Schiff’s behavior was
that of an avowed enemy of Russia. A number of references to his
anti-Russian and anti-Czarist activities are contained in a book
describing the life of this important personality who died in 1920.
Written as it is by a friendly pen and prefaced by his son Mortimer,
this book deals with the avowable aspects of Schiff’s financial
dealings. We are told by other writers, like Lambelin, Petrovsky et
al, that there existed in America before the first World War a
veritable syndicate of bankers, formed for the purpose of supplying
funds for Russian revolutionary propaganda, while in the spring of
1917, Jacob Schiff openly boasted of having been instrumental in
overthrowing the Czarist regime by his financial support of the
revolution. It is worth noting that in his “Diary of an Author”
Dostoievsky foresaw the creation of a similar syndicate.”
Jacob and Mortimer Schiff were members
of The Pilgrims and nothing need be added about Lord Rothschild,
financial backer of Cecil Rhodes, from whose wills The Pilgrims were
founded. Page 225---
“We also are in possession of more
detailed information stemming, according to General Nechvolodov,
from the French Intelligence Service---Twelve million dollars are
reported to have been donated by Schiff to the Russian
revolutionaries in the years preceding the war, while other sources
confirm and amplify this fact. Mr. Bakhmetiev, the late Russian
Imperial Ambassador to the United States, tells us that the
Bolsheviks, after victory, transferred 600 million roubles in gold
between the years 1918 and 1922 to Kuhn, Loeb & Company.”
One of the books referred to above was
“Jacob Schiff, His Life and Letters,” 1929, London, Cyrus Adler
publishers. Page 231 of Czarism and Revolution”---
“A copy dated September 23rd,
1919, of “To Moscow,” published in Rostov, contains further
interesting facts about the part played by Jacob Schiff in the 1917
revolution. The information is based on a document originating from
the French High Commissioner in Washington. The authenticity of
this document cannot be contested as it was extracted from the
archives of the French government offices. Later it was quoted by
General Nechvolodov in his book, previously mentioned (pp. 97-104).
Nechvolodov claims it was drafted by official branches of the
American services and handed by them to the French High
Commissioner. I present a few quotations---“
“In February 1916, it was learnt that
a revolution was being fomented in Russia and that the following
persons and business concerns were engaged in this destructive
enterprise: 1) Jacob Schiff; 2) Kuhn, Loeb & Company (directors):
Jacob Schiff, Felix Warburg, Otto Kahn, Mortimer Schiff, Jerome H.
Hanauer; 2) Guggenheim. In April 1917, Jacob Schiff publicly
declared that it was thanks to his financial support that the
revolution in Russia succeeded.”
Otto Kahn of The Pilgrims---a director
of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) from 1921-1934--- was
written up in “The Mirrors of Wall Street” (1933 by anonymous) on
pages 164-177. Page 165 says---
“No other man I ever met---least of
all a many of money---gave me such a satisfying feeling of exuberant
kindliness and all-pervading love of humanity as this cosmopolitan
banker.”
Considering the purges and massacres
that took place in Russia most notably under Stalin, the statement
about Otto Kahn appears to be a textbook case of contradiction and
hypocrisy. Pages 166-167---
“Otto Kahn’s father left Germany in
1848 as a result of the revolution and came to the United States, to
return to the Fatherland ten years later as a representative of an
American bank. The son grew up in Germany but was sent to London by
the Deutsche Bank and became a British citizen. Later he moved from
the Deutsche Bank to Speyer and Company, and he was so enamored of
England that he just missed going to Parliament. He led a daughter
of the house of Kuhn, Loeb and Company to the altar. He became an
American citizen, despite the protests of his English friends.”
In The Pilgrims Society we aren’t
speaking only of American and British banks, but also of the big
European banks. British nobility is heavily intermarried with
European royalty which has figured prominently in ownership of those
banks since the beginning. Banking families such as the Rothschilds
especially, and the Warburgs, are heavy influences in many European
banks. Antony Sutton, the original proponent of the discredited
theory that Skull & Bones Society runs the United States,
nevertheless wrote two other well researched books, “Wall Street and
the Bolshevik Revolution” (reprinted 1993) and “Wall Street and the
Rise of Hitler” (reprinted 1993). Glancing at financiers identified
in these books we find the usual assortment of Pilgrim Society
members, most of them “underground” in their Who’s Who listings
(they omitted the fact) but identified elsewhere, in the three rare
books mentioned in December, and in the Congressional Record. Gary
Allen, in his 1976 book “The Rockefeller File,” has a chapter from
pages 99 through 125 entitled, “Building the Big Red Machine,”
detailing Rockefeller family support for Russian Communism over the
years. It could be that empire was becoming somewhat independent of
them, hence the break-up of the old U.S.S.R. into many separate
nations, leaving Russia itself as the major entity. He had a
similar chapter in “None Dare Call it Conspiracy” (1971, pages
111-126). The Morgan interests also supported the Communist
revolutionary cause in Russia, with at least $1 million in funds
identified in one instance (Washington Post, February 2, 1918).
The Associated Press, October 20,
1969, announced that International Basic Economy Corporation (IBEC),
a Rockefeller brothers holding, acquired as partners in Soviet
trade, industrialization and development, the firm of N.M.
Rothschild & Sons of London. Possibly the two most important names
in The Pilgrim Society took an interest in building Communism. On
July 17, 1973, Pilgrim Society member David Rockefeller urged
Congress to grant the Soviet Union most favored nation trading
status (United Press International.) In Allen’s 1971 book, page 85,
take note---
“In one country after another
Communism has been imposed on the population from the top down. The
most prominent forces for the imposition of that tyranny came from
the United States and Great Britain.”
In simple language, The Pilgrims New
York and London, the leading organization of super rich, spread
Communism to over 12 million square miles of planet earth. The
Soviet delegation to the United Nations was originally located in a
mansion across from the Pilgrim Society front, the Council on
Foreign Relations. That mansion was owned by Pilgrim Society member
Percy Rivington Pyne II, grandson of Moses Taylor, who owned over
208,000 railroad shares as of 1864, with an average price of $240 a
share---a fortune of some $50 millions! (“Secrets of the Federal
Reserve,” page 65, see also “History of the Great American
Fortunes.”) Percy Pyne II, born 1882, had interests in National
City Bank; Delaware & Hudson Railroad; Empire Trust; Farmers Loan &
Trust; Princeton Bank & Trust; Commercial Trust; Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western Coal; New Amsterdam Gas; Morris & Essex
Railroad; Syracuse & Binghampton Railroad; Lackawanna Steel; United
New Jersey Railroad; East River Gas Company; Oswego & Syracuse
Railroad and many others and was a Princeton University trustee. As
of 1994 another Pyne, Eben Wright Pyne, turned up on The Pilgrims
executive committee, and was an executive with National City Bank of
New York (forerunner of Citigroup) and was a director of Long Island
Lighting; U.S. Life Insurance; City Investing Company; Home
Insurance Company; W.R. Grace & Company and others.
The Lend-Lease Administration, run by
Pilgrim Society members during World War II did much to build up the
Soviet Union. At the close of the war, at the Yalta Conference, and
a few months later at the Potsdam Conference, Roosevelt and
Churchill, and later Truman and Attlee of Great Britain---all
members of The Pilgrims---made arrangements for Joseph Stalin to
occupy all of Eastern Europe, or install puppet dictators there.
The nature of Communism was known to the world. There was no need
to allow the giveaway of Hungary; Czechoslovakia; Poland;
Yugoslavia; Romania; Bulgaria and so forth to Communism. It was
what the financiers wanted. In Josephson’s 1952 book on the
Rockefellers, pages 274-299 is the chapter, “Rockefeller’s Institute
of Pacific Relations,” which details the story of the American
betrayal of mainland China to Communism. Head of the Institute of
Pacific Relations was Pilgrim Society member Gerard Swope, former
chairman of General Electric. Various Pilgrim Society members were
trustees, including General George C. Marshall, commander of the 15th
Infantry in China, 1924-1927, chief of staff of the U.S. Army,
1939-1945, and Secretary of State, 1947-1949. In 1948 he became the
architect of the Marshall Plan, supposedly for providing American
monetary assistance for rebuilding Europe, in reality, another
Pilgrim Society looting scheme. George Catlett Marshall (below)---
Just like outgoing Secretary of State
Colin Powell, the British Crown, patrons of The Pilgrims Society,
inducted Marshall into the Order of the Bath (Knight Grand Cross).
Bath refers to the ceremonial bath taken by British knights after
conquering the designated enemies of the Crown! Marshall also was
decorated with the Order of Suvarov from the U.S.S.R. in regard to
his assistance for spreading Communism in Eastern Europe by not
opposing the actions of Roosevelt, Churchill and Clement Attlee in
gifting Stalin with so much additional territory. In November 1945
Truman appointed Marshall his personal representative to China with
rank of ambassador. According to Josephson in “Rockefeller
Internationalist” (page 295)---
“The supply to the communists of
essential war materiel has flowed continuously through such devices
as “lend lease,” UNRRA, the Marshall Plan, the Atlantic Part and the
Point IV Program. The situation parallels the arming of the Germans
and the Japs prior to World War II, by the same principals. As a
reward for delivering China to the Communists, that has proved so
costly and disastrous for the U.S., Marshall was promoted to the
post of Secretary of State; he served the Rockefeller-Soviet axis
well. His first official act was to appoint his masters’ agent, who
had previously directed his treacherous mission to China, Dean
Acheson, his chief of staff. The so-called Marshall Plan was
written by Rockefeller, promoted and propagandized by Rockefeller’s
Council on Foreign Relations and its subsidiary agencies, and
actively pushed in Congress by the Rockefellers personally. It was
another tap on the U.S. Treasury and a device for looting the
American people for the benefit of the Rockefeller Empire and its
allies, on the pretense of aid to Europe, while at the same time
leading the nation further on the road to bankruptcy and
dictatorship.”
Not surprisingly, there was
established in Marshall’s name the George Marshall scholarships, by
which American students would spend up to 2 years at British
Universities. The purpose is identical to the Rhodes
Scholarships---to indoctrinate Americans to serve the British
Crown! Lord Sherfield of The Pilgrims of Great Britain, ambassador
to Washington, 1953-1956, endowed the Marshall Scholarships with a
sub-set called the Sherfield Fellowships. According to
marshallscholarship.org/
“The Scholarships were founded by an
Act of Parliament in 1953 and commemorate the humane ideals of the
European Recovery Programme (Marshall Plan). They are funded by the
Foreign & Commonwealth Office and administered by the Marshall Aid
Commemoration Commission in the UK (for which the Association of
Commonwealth Universities provides the Secretariat). The selection
process in the US is managed by the British Council, on behalf of
the British Embassy in Washington DC, and the regional
Consulates-General in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los
Angeles, New York and San Francisco.”
Lord Sherfield was involved with the
League of Nations till 1939, when the Society was readying to
replace it with the United Nations. Sherfield chaired the United
Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, 1960-1964, then became chairman of
Industrial & Commercial Finance Corporation; Ship Mortgage Finance
Company; Estate Duties Investment Trust; Technical Development
Capital; and a director of the big global merchant bank, Hill,
Samuel & Company. He additionally was a trustee of the Kennedy
Memorial Trust and governor of Imperial College of Science and
Technology. Later he joined the British North American Committee,
another Pilgrim Society front organization, previously managed by
another of their fronts, the National Planning Association, now by
the Atlantic Council of the United States. Lord Sherfield married
one of the daughters of Dwight Davis, founder of the Davis Cup
tennis championships, as did Federal Reserve chairman (1951-1970)
William McChesney Martin Jr. also of The Pilgrims. The 2002 Pilgrim
book, page 164, shows Lord Sherfield shaking hands with the Queen,
with the incredibly subversive Lord Astor behind her, at a Pilgrims
function. Lord Sherfield (below)---
At the website of the Marshall
Scholarships you will find in the upper left corner the flag of
Great Britain, its right half cut off, merged with the American
flag, its left half removed, indicating the Pilgrim Society
influence towards the same object---reunification of America with
Britain. If you take the incredibly long time it takes to scan the
thousands of pages of Who’s Who volumes over the years, you will
find at least hundreds of Marshall Scholars across the years. After
the indoctrination, they return to the United States, exactly like
the even more important Rhodes Scholars, and are placed by The
Pilgrim Society in positions in government and academia and media
where their influence is used on behalf of the Crown of England and
its allied financiers.
So thoroughly were members of The
Pilgrims involved with the Communist Revolution in 1916-1918, that
certain of their young operatives present there, became members
later. Included among these we note Norman Armour, embassy
secretary at Petrograd, Russia, 1916-1918, who later held
ambassadorships to Canada; Chile; Argentina; Venezuela; Spain and
Guatemala. He married into European nobility, Princess Myra
Kondacheff, February 2, 1919 (Who’s Who, 1958, page 88). Walter
Hampton Mallory, special assistant to the American ambassador in
Petrograd, Russia, 1916-1917; and president of the China Institute
in America, 1943-1947, and a member of Pilgrim Society member John
D. Rockefeller Jr.’s China Medical Board beginning in 1947, was
another Pilgrim Society member controlling their public
kindergarten, the Council on Foreign Relations, via his directorship
of that entity, from 1927 into the 1960’s and later became an
emeritus director. He was decorated the Order of Pure Gold by
China. Post Wheeler (Pilgrims United States, Who’s Who, 1927, page
2011), was secretary at the embassy in St. Petersburg, Russia,
1909-1911. Joshua Butler Wright, son in law of real admiral W.H.H.
Southerland (Who’s Who, 1927, pages 2090-2091) was counselor at the
American embassy in Petrograd, Russia, in 1916. He was secretary of
the American delegation at the Opium Conference at The Hague, 1913,
probably a whitewash of drug-dealing activities in China of
ancestors of founders of the London Pilgrims. Wright was U.S.
Commissioner at the Brazilian Centennial Exposition in Rio de
Janeiro in 1922 and secretary of the U.S. delegation to the 5th
International Conference of American States in Santiago, Chile, in
1923. Pilgrim Society member Isaac F. Marcosson (born 1877) wrote
“The Rebirth of Russia” (1917), the same year he wrote “The Business
of War,” very profitable for his Pilgrim Society cronies. Another
Pilgrim Society member, Henry Cutler Wolfe (born 1898) wrote “The
Imperial Soviets” (1940). He was with the American Relief
Administration in Russia in 1922, another front for assisting the
Bolsheviks. Wolfe was a contributor to Harper’s magazine; Saturday
Review; New York Times; Wall Street Journal and others. If you find
time look up his articles and you will surely find no mention of his
Pilgrim Society activities.
The Associated Press, July 16, 1973
reported---
“David Rockefeller, just back from
opening financial doors to China, has worked banking miracles in
globe-girdling missions the last six months. In January,
Rockefeller toured Hungary, Yugoslavia, Romania and Poland,
cementing banking relations in the satellite countries.”
In the mid-1970’s, the Chase Manhattan
Bank, under Rockefeller, along with the Export-Import Bank of the
United States---another Pilgrim Society run funding source whose
“loans” are guaranteed by U.S. taxpayers, jointly funded the Kama
River truck factory in the U.S.S.R., to that date, the largest such
facility in existence. The production schedule was set at 150,000
industrial type trucks per annum. The Overseas Private Investment
Corporation---still another Pilgrim Society
instrumentality---guaranteed the loans made by Chase Manhattan Bank
with taxpayer funds! His father, Pilgrim Society member John D.
Rockefeller Jr., was a trustee of the China Medical Board, another
virulently questionable front organization. Pilgrim Society member
Charles Hitchcock Sherrill (born 1867), trustee of New York
University and ambassador to Turkey, 1932-1933, wrote a book (1920)
entitled, “Have We A Far Eastern Policy?” Yes, The Society does
have a Far Eastern (and global) policy---keep engineering wars until
they make the peoples of the world desperate enough to surrender
their sovereignty to a World Government (which THEY will run!)
Decorated by Italy, France, Belgium, Yugoslavia, Sweden, Austria,
Hungary, Holland, and Czechoslovakia, he also wrote “Prime Ministers
and Presidents” (1922) based on his extensive acquaintances with
foreign heads of state. It calls to mind what Cecil Rhodes said of
his Pilgrim Society “patent”---“I am on the lookout for those who
will do the governing of the nations in the years that are to come.”
William Merriam Chadbourne (born
1879), listed in the Congressional Record for 1940 as a member of
The Pilgrims---and invisible elsewhere---was a high-powered New York
lawyer who was a vice president of the China Society of America
(Who’s Who, 1933, page 497). He was also a member of the American
Legion, but it is doubtful that the average member of that
organization today is in favor of the internationalism and
interventionism (warmongering) clearly central to the intentions of
The Pilgrims and their extensive galaxy of powerful satellite
organizations. Who’s Who in the East, 1957, page 160, shows Pilgrim
Society member John Warren Hill, who was with the banker warmongers
Draft Board in 1917, as a member of the finance committee for New
York county of the American Legion, 1927-1928, and in 1946 he became
a member of the Joint Legislative Committee on Interstate
Cooperation. He was also a director of the National Committee for
Mental Hygiene, the term used before “mental health” became the
buzzword-catchall for slandering as crazy those who take issue with
the global puppetmasters.
In “The Rockefellers An American
Dynasty” (1976) by Peter Collier, page 428 we find--
“Ever after, David would have a
special cachet in Moscow. After the 1968 elections, the Russians
let it be known through diplomatic channels that chances for
rapprochement would be dramatically increased if David were
ambassador. George Guilder says---“David goes through Russia and is
treated royally. Ironically, nobody knows how to revere, blandish
and exalt a Rockefeller half so well as the Marxists.”
In “Rockefeller and the Reds”
(American Opinion, January 1976) by Gary Allen, we read on page
73---
“Consider the role of the Rockefellers
in engineering the turnover of China to the Communists through the
work of three family controlled organizations, the Rockefeller
Foundation, the American Institute of Pacific Relations, and the
Council on Foreign Relations. The Rockefellers had earlier laid the
groundwork for this betrayal through their financing of key Chinese
universities which were the breeding grounds for leadership of Mao’s
movement. The prize educational institution financed by the
Rockefellers in China was the Harvard-Yenching University in Peiping.
The faculty was loaded with radical Harvard types and the results
were commensurate with their input. One of their most famous
products was Chou En-Lai.”
This was the same Chou En-Lai who as
Premier of the People’s Republic of China, met with David
Rockefeller (above) in 1973 to work out financing and trade deals.
The first Rockefeller agent to send money to the Institute of
Pacific Relations as chairman of the Rockefeller Foundation was John
Foster Dulles (Pilgrim Society), whose brother Allen, also of The
Pilgrims, headed the Central Intelligence Agency as of 1953. Allen
Dulles was also a director of the Pilgrim Society front, the Council
on Foreign Relations. John Foster Dulles was a partner in Sullivan
& Cromwell, as was Allen, 48 Wall Street, the world’s most
influential law firm. Allen Dulles was a member of President
Johnson’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy,
1963-1964, forerunner of the Warren Commission in 1965, another
Pilgrim Society affair. Arthur H. Dean, ambassador to Korea,
1953-1954 of The Pilgrims was another Sullivan & Cromwell partner
and a director or trustee of the Japan Society; Asia Society; United
Nations Association; Bank of New York; El Paso Natural Gas; and the
Council on Foreign Relations. Dulles sister Eleanor was a delegate
to the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference that created the International
Monetary Fund, a leading instrumentality for wealth transfer to The
Pilgrim Society; she authored the 1932 book, “The Bank for
International Settlements At Work.” Dulles, for whom is named
Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C. (below)---
After Dulles, Pilgrim Society member
Dean Rusk, president of the Rockefeller Foundation from 1952-1960,
later to become Secretary of State in 1961, sent Rockefeller
Foundation funds to the IPR. Rhodes Scholar Dean Rusk (below)---
In “Harvest of Deceit” by Edward
Delaney (1971), pages 163-172, “Why Was General Patton Murdered?”
the answer lies in the fact that General was astray from the
financier plan, and was kept in check by Eisenhower of The Pilgrims
(Eisenhower Exchange Fellowships are another Pilgrim Society
front). If you saw the 1970 film “Patton” with George C. Scott you
noticed his hatred for Communism. In fact Patton wanted to move the
Soviets out of Germany at the close of the war, but other plans
prevailed.
The Society has long maintained
interest in China. Other than the obvious history of the British
and the old Chinese opium trade and their descendants being
represented in The Pilgrims London today, another example is found
in the case of Robert Lansing (born 1864). According to the 1927
Who’s Who, page 1156, he was Secretary of State from 1915-1920. He
became legal counsel to the Chinese Government afterwards. He was a
member of the American Commission to Negotiate the Peace, 1918-1919
at Paris, and one of the architects of the Treaty of Versailles
which was intended to provoke Germany into launching another war.
Lansing was a trustee of the Carnegie Endowment for International
Peace, possibly the most dangerous foundation in existence. He
founded the American Society for International Law in 1906, an
organization opposed to United States sovereignty. He authored
“Notes on Sovereignty” (1921). His father in law was John W.
Foster, Secretary of State in the Harrison administration,
1889-1893. John W. Foster was grandfather to John Foster Dulles and
Allen Dulles, of The Pilgrims. Robert Lansing (below)---
We could look at many other instances
of Wall Street and London bankers assisting events in Russia and
China, but this should suffice. Well, let’s do several more!
Richard Cunningham Patterson Jr. of
The Pilgrims (Who’s Who in the East, 1957, page 703), started with
the Du Ponts in 1921, got on with National Broadcasting in 1932;
chaired RKO Corporation (films, 1939-1943); ambassador to
Yugoslavia, 1944-1947; to Guatemala, 1948-1951;to Switzerland,
1951-1953; and got on the boards of New Hampshire & Hudson Railroad;
John C. Paige Incorporated Insurance Brokers; Hilton Hotels
International; Empire State Building Corporation; General Dynamics;
Burrus Mills; American Export Lines; Hidden Splendor Mining Company
(uranium project of Pilgrim Society kingpin Floyd B. Odlum, of whom
we will make the acquaintance); Mercast Corporation; and Wah-Chang
Smelting & Refining Company. Patterson was director and first
president of the China-America Council of Commerce & Industry.
Patterson chaired the Military Intelligence Reserve Society in 1930
and received the Order of the Jade (China), in addition to
decorations from Yugoslavia; Monaco; Serbia; Panama; France;
Ethiopia; Brazil; Liberia; Haiti; Cuba; Federal Republic of Germany;
Spain; New York State; Columbia University; and University of
Nebraska. He also chaired the United Nations Committee for the City
of New York. The U.N. is an organization created by The Pilgrims as
the structure for their aspired World Government! A parellel
organization was the Far East-America Council of Commerce &
Industry, of which second generation Pilgrim Society member Arthur
K. Watson of IBM was a vice president. His older brother, Thomas J.
Watson Jr. was a trustee of the China Institute and was called by
Fortune Magazine “the most successful capitalist who ever lived”
(January 1976, page 122, “Wall Street is awed by the vast wealth Tom
Jr. created for his stockholders.”) To return to Society
involvement with Russian affairs, we note (Who’s Who in the East,
1957, pages 877-878) Pilgrim Society member James Graham
Phelps-Stokes (born 1872) was honorary councillor of the Russian
Information Bureau in the United States, 1917-1922. He owned gold
and silver mining (Austin Mining; Manhattan Silver Mine; Ione Gold
Mining), banking and railroad interests in Nevada (Nevada Central
Railroad; Nevada Motor Lines; The Nevada Company; State Bank of
Nevada. He was president of the Intercollegiate Socialist Society,
1907-1918 and was a member of the China Society of America; Royal
India and Pakistan Society; Oriental Institute of University of
Chicago; American Oriental Society; American Legion; Sons of the
Revolution; Society of Colonial Wars and others. The Pilgrims have
staged infiltration of various patriotic societies over the years
(Pelham Saint George Bissell, 1943 Who’s Who, page 327, was
president of the Sons of the Revolution; council of the Society of
Colonial Wars; past commander, American Legion; Judge Advocate,
Veterans of Foreign Wars; and member of the anti-American United
Nations League!) Stokes was a member of the New York Governor’s
Committee in 1921 to welcome to New York representatives of European
countries to attend the International Conference on Limitation of
Armaments, a forerunner of the questionable “S.A.L.T.” talks
(Strategic Arms Limitation Talks) under which the bankers wanted a
specific ratio of military power between nations, the better to
manipulate the outcome of wars. It appears that World War III is
being brewed, possibly by the Carnegie Endowment for International
Peace and its Pilgrim Society trustees. Russia and China could be
the two main antagonists against a coalition of America, Britain,
Europe and a heavily re-armed Japan, in a conflict set mainly in the
Middle East. Armageddon, perhaps?
MORE COMMENTS ON THE PILGRIMS
In “The Mirrors Of Wall Street” (1933)
by Anonymous, pages 27 and 29 we read---
“There can be no question that Mr.
Mellon is one of the canniest cash collectors that this or any other
country has ever developed. Mr. Mellon alone can explain why he did
not raise his voice to avert the greatest financial cataclysm that
had ever befallen the nation. He was a member of the Federal
Reserve Board.”
Mellon had no intention in alerting
anyone outside his circle of you-know-what-by-now-(or you haven’t
been paying attention) because the crash and depression were
calculated to strip others of wealth. Mellon, as Treasury
Secretary, conferred with Montagu Norman, governor of the Bank of
England, in Washington on February 6, 1929. Norman, another member
of The Pilgrims, admitted---
“I hold the hegemony of the world.”
“Hegemony” = leadership, in case
anyone needs a vocabulary exercise. This was the same Montagu
Norman who refused to visit any nation not having a central bank!
He disapproved of countries not having covert British control! The
quote from Norman cited above is referenced on page 62 of “Tragedy
and Hope” (1966) by Carroll Quigley of the Newcomen Society, a
Pilgrim Society front organization. The Wall Street Journal,
November 11, 1927, called Norman the “currency dictator of Europe.”
Since he was actually head of the Bank of England, yet the Journal
said he had power over European finances, take that as an indication
of European central banks colluding with the grandmaster of all
central banking, the Bank of England, for such is the case. Let it
not be thought that Norman was such a substantial power in himself,
but rather he had power delegated to him by such as the Windsors,
the British Royal family, and the Rothschilds.
Just after the closed conference of
Mellon---who was a substantial power in himself, in fact, surely one
of the two most powerful men in the United States at that time, the
other being John D. Rockefeller Jr. of The Pilgrim Society---with
Lord Norman, the Federal Reserve reversed its cheap money policies
and began tightening. A boom had been engineered, now it was time
to stage a bust, so that the big rich could recapture their payrolls
from the middle class, and break down many non-allied rich. By late
October, the Crash was under way. Pilgrim Society members such as
Floyd Odlum (never hear of him before---it’s time you did) went
short the market, then bought megamillions of shares at 90% off
their highs! It’s widely known that Mellon himself was strongly
benefited by such actions. Let’s consider some details about
Pilgrim Society member Andrew Mellon from “Paul Mellon---Portrait of
an Oil Baron” by William Hoffman (1974).
“The Depression came, the greatest
depression this country has ever experienced. It bothered Andrew
Mellon not at all. It merely presented him with another business
opportunity, a chance to swallow up weaker corporations and, when it
was over, to emerge stronger than ever. As Drew Pearson pointed
out, Andrew Mellon spent his first eight years in office predicting
federal deficits. This was so the government could claim it was
broke and thereby deny World War I veterans their bonuses and
dissuade the hard-pressed from seeking assistance. Andrew Mellon’s
last four years in office, however, brought predictions of
surpluses, so that the Depression plagued American public would not
demand an increase in income and inheritance taxes. When the
Depression refused to fade away, Andrew Mellon was a man no longer
in touch with reality. He urged people to work hard and spend money
that, he said, was the solution to the Crash. Yet how could people
spend money when Andrew Mellon’s banks refused to loan them any?
How could they work hard when his companies laid them off and said
there was no work? In May 1931, the Secretary of the Treasury said
there should be no pay cuts, but in October of the same year his
Aluminum Company of America slashed wages ten percent. In June 1932
the Aluminum Company slashed wages ten per cent more.” (pages
49-50)
“At the Alcoa mills in a Pittsburgh
suburb, more than half the normal work force of four thousand was
laid off. A welfare worker revealed that those still working had
been forced by the company to donate a day’s pay to those who were
unemployed, despite the fact that a high weekly wage for those
working full time was only twelve dollars. The aluminum company
itself paid nothing to those it laid off. Panic spread. In
September 1931, 305 banks closed. In October 522 banks closed.
Thirteen million were unemployed. National wages were 60 percent
less than in 1929. U.S. industry was operating at less than half
its maximum. With Pennsylvanians starving and freezing in the
streets in the winter of 1931, Governor Gifford Pinchot visited
Andrew Mellon at his Washington office. Before being allowed to see
the Treasury Secretary, the governor admired the $1.7 million worth
of gems Andrew Mellon had recently purchased from the Soviet Union.
When the two sat down to talk, Governor Pinchot offered a business
deal---he suggested that well to do Pennsylvanians lend $35 million
to the state for needed relief programs; the loan would be repaid at
4 percent interest, as authorized by a constitutional amendment
already passed, and Andrew Mellon was asked to chip in $1 million.
It was a drop in the bucket for the Treasury Secretary but he
refused. So did every other rich person in Pennsylvania.” (pages
50-51)
Pinchot was a member of the American
Academy of Political and Social Science and the Cosmos Club,
Washington, D.C., two well established banker-financier front
organizations.
“Poverty and hunger gripped the nation
by its throat. Riots were commonplace. A group of World War I
veterans marched on Washington and demanded the cashing of soldiers
bonus certificates. The Government drove them out of Washington
with armed troops under the command of Douglas McArthur. There was
talk of revolution as desperate people called for desperate
measures. Texas Representative Wright Patman was appalled by Andrew
Mellon’s policies and by his lack of concern for widespread
suffering. Patman brought impeachment proceedings against the
Treasury Secretary. The date was January 6, 1932, a date most
American newspapers seem to have forgotten. Whenever Andrew
Mellon’s name is mentioned in print, it is as a “philanthropist” or
“businessman” or “public servant.” Very seldom is the word
“impeachment” is brought up, though that drastic course of action is
precisely what was taken.” (page 51
“Representative Patman went on to make
the remarkable statement that “Mr. Mellon has violated more laws,
caused more human suffering and illegally acquired more property to
satisfy his personal greed than any other person on earth without
fear of punishment and with the sanction and approval of three chief
executives of a civilized nation.” (page 52)
The three executives must have been
the President; Speaker of the House and Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, or the Vice President. So powerful were the Mellon interests
that Gulf Oil was the only major oil company in the United States to
hold its own against the group formerly known as Standard Oil
(Rockefellers, Harknesses, Whitneys and Pratts the biggest
holders). Much later the Mellons would sell Gulf Oil to Chevron,
after being enriched by gushers from Kuwait to Venezuela, where it
extracted some 200,000 barrels of oil daily at its peak of
operations (page 97, Hoffman). “Gulf Oil’s assets were greater than
the gross national product of most countries.” (page 134)
“Representative Patman also revealed
that Andrew Mellon, while in office, had voting stock in more than
three hundred corporations engaged in “mining properties, bauxite,
magnesium, carbon electrodes, aluminum, sales, railroads, Pullman
cars, gas, electric light, steel railways, copper, glass, brass,
steel, tar, banking, locomotives, water power, steamships,
shipbuilding, oil, coke, coal, and many other different
industries.” There were other questionable deals. All U.S. banks
(and Andrew Mellon was chairman of the Federal Reserve Board)
refused credit to the Columbian Government until it signed the Barco
oil concession giving 1.5 million acres of oil land worth as much as
$2 billion to Gulf Oil and a company owned largely by the Morgans.
When finally the giveaway was signed, credit was miraculously
available.” (page 53)
There was a James William Barco (born
1916) who turned up in The Pilgrims in the 1970’s; it’s unclear
whether there was a relation to the Columbian deal. Barco was
American ambassador to the United Nations, 1960-1961, vice-chairman
of The Pilgrims Atlantic Council, trustee of American University in
Cairo, et cetera.
“The New Republic found it unfortunate
that “an American Secretary of State had used his high office to
persuade the National City Bank of New York to grant an unsound bank
credit to the government of Columbia as a means of obtaining one of
the world’s largest oil concessions for a company controlled by the
interests of Mr. Mellon, our Secretary of the Treasury.” Andrew
Mellon contended that the National City loan was unconnected to the
granting of the Barco concession, but few people took him
seriously. He was taken even less seriously when a Senate Finance
Committee investigation showed that Allen Dulles, a former
undersecretary of state, represented Morgan at the time; that
Herbert Stabler, formerly chief of the State Department’s Latin
American division, was working for Gulf; and that Andrew Mellon’s
former top aide, Garrard Winston, was a lawyer for National City
Bank.” (pages 53-54)
Garrard Winston (Yale 1904, probably a
member of one of its five super-fraternities) was undersecretary of
the Treasury under Mellon, 1923-1927 and became a partner in
Shearman & Sterling, a leading Wall Street law firm whose key
partners are always members of The Pilgrims; he was a member of the
important Links Club in Manhattan; treasurer, Roosevelt Hospital;
and secretary of the American Debt Funding Commission, another
banker front.
“Representative Patman had another
serious charge, and such was the wretched state of the economy and
the angry mood of the populace in the 1930s that Congress was
listening. Andrew Mellon was, said Patman, “more responsible for
the country’s poor economic condition than any other person.”
Representative Patman revealed that the War Department had paid
Andrew Mellon’s Koppers Company $18,582,428.44 during World War I
and that Koppers had not produced one dollar’s worth of goods.
Nonetheless, after the war Koppers was allowed to purchase buildings
and machinery that had cost the government $2,987,200 for $600,000;
and materials that cost $5,558,000 for $300,000. This second deal,
it was later revealed, was made despite the fact that a different
company had bid $700,000 for the materials.” (page 54)
“The impeachment hearings proceeded
without a hitch. Patman dredged up a dozen scandals. It turned out
that Andrew Mellon’s Standard Steel Car Company built a plush club
during World War I which was used to entertain government
bureaucrats responsible for keeping war costs down. At the club all
expenses---food, lodging, entertainment---were paid by Standard
Steel Car. The bureaucrats were, of course, receiving expenses from
the government since they were supposed to be on state business.
During the hearings Patman demonstrated that Andrew Mellon was
hardly suffering because of the Depression---“The Union Trust
Company is a Mellon owned corporation in Pittsburgh. It commenced
business during the panic of 1893, prospered during the panic of
1907 and the hard times of 1914, and has been paying 200 percent
dividends and more during the depression years of 1930, 1931 and
1932.” Patman put the Mellon money in perspective---“The fortune I
have mentioned is twice as much money as the average amount of money
that has been in circulation during the past three years. It is
equal to two-thirds of all the gold in the entire world. It is
equal to one-half the value of all the property in the United States
in the year 1860.” (pages 54-55)
There you have it, once again, as
demonstrated in the first essay in this series. The Pilgrims exist
to “seize the wealth necessary,” and to “gradually absorb the wealth
of the world,” and they are “on the lookout for those who will do
the governing of the nations in the years that are to come.” Mellon
also chaired the U.S. delegation of the Pan-American High
Commission, another banker ripoff organization set up to loot South
America.
Because of the scandals Patman
continued to press in on, a game of musical chairs ensued. Mellon
left as Treasury Secretary and became ambassador to Great Britain.
On April 14, 1932, The Pilgrims of Great Britain welcomed Andrew
Mellon as United States ambassador, and the Prince of Wales (Royal
family) spoke at the reception (Pilgrims book, 2002, page 26).
Royalty and robber barons working together for the New World Order;
The Pilgrims! Hoffman stated (page 56)---
“Andrew Mellon became friends with
royalty, threw huge parties at the embassy, was imperious with dukes
and earls.”
More of Hoffman on Mellon---
“Andrew Mellon’s friend Henry Frick
was importing people from Hungary and Italy and Yugoslavia to work
his coke ovens and was paying them next to nothing. He and Andrew
Mellon felt there was no need to clean up the environment, which was
probably the filthiest on earth. Indeed, many wealthy Pittsburghers
believed that the “subhuman” immigrants probably thrived on the heat
of the coal ovens and the gases they had to breathe. In fact,
Andrew Mellon stated that fresh air would probably be harmful for
the workers, whom rich people called “wops” and “polacks” and
“hunkies.” The fresh air issue was a rationalization for
exploitation, but Andrew Mellon and Henry Frick probably really
believed that fresh air was harmful for workers. If God intended
workers to breathe fresh air, the reasoning went, He would not have
inspired the building of industry. Andrew Mellon was thoroughly in
agreement with Frick’s methods of preventing and smashing strikes
which, according to Philip Foner’s “History of the American Labor
Movement” included torture and beatings and murder administered by
paid private police.” (page 39)
According to Hoffman (page 146), as of
1928 private police carried machine guns at Mellon owned mines. Was
Frick also a member, you ask? If so I cannot say, due to the
problem of incomplete and unavailable lists. He was earlier a
partner with Carnegie, another member, who defected to work with
Mellon, a member. Certainly both of them were much larger
financially than Frick, who could have been a member. Frick had
dealings with Pennsylvania Senator Penrose (“History of the Great
American Fortunes,” page 495). Two members of the Penrose family,
Charles (born 1886) and Charles Jr. (born 1921) were both Pilgrim
Society members and headed the British front, the Newcomen Society
of North America. Frick was also associated in business with Edward
H. Harriman, a member (“America’s 60 Families,” 1937, page 78), and
Frick was said to nevertheless belong to “the top circle of wealth”
(page 29). George F. Baker, second-generation Pilgrim Society
member and father in law of third generation member John Mortimer
Schiff (treasurer of The Pilgrims as of 1973), was a trustee of the
Frick Collection (art gallery). The Baker fortune (First National
Bank of New York; General Electric; U.S. Steel; Consolidated Gas
Company of New York; Mutual Life Insurance; General Motors; Pullman
Company; United States Trust Company, et al, was estimated at around
$500 million in 1924 dollars (“America’s 60 Families,” page 26,
based on tax return information). George F. Baker III appeared in
the 1969 list. Back to Hoffman on Mellon---
“Henry Frick presided over one of the
bloodiest strikes in American history. The year was 1892, the place
was Homestead, Pennsylvania. The strike began when management
announced a pay cut. Frick brought in a barge filled with scores of
gunmen to smash the workers, who retaliated by firing on the thugs
and making them captives. Governor Pattison called out state
troopers and they occupied Homestead for 95 days. The entire
country was for the Homestead strikers, but Frick refused to budge
an inch. From New York came anarchist Alexander Berkmann---he
stabbed and knifed Frick, but failed to kill him. When it was
announced Frick had been wounded, a soldier let out three cheers.
The soldier was hung by his thumbs. Andrew Mellon hastened to
Frick’s bedside and remained with his friend until he was out of
danger. The strikers lost. Ten persons died in the Homestead
strike, and many more were wounded.” (page 40)
“In 1899 Andrew Mellon conceived his
grandest plan. He and Henry Frick would build the Union Steel
Company and challenge mighty Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie was
unimpressed. He had intended to retire anyway and sell huge
Carnegie Steel. He went to New York but Wall Street did not offer
enough. He went to Andrew Mellon. Why not, Carnegie suggested, go
into steel in a really big way? Union Steel and Carnegie Steel
would be a corporate marvel. Andrew Mellon offered $160 million
saying he would put up $80 million and raise the rest. He tried to
obtain the second $80 million from J.P. Morgan, who laughed at him.
The price, said Morgan, was too high. J.P. Morgan was wrong.
Within two years Morgan was scrambling to organize the first billion
dollar company---U.S. Steel---and to succeed he needed to purchase
Carnegie Steel. It cost him $492 million to do it, more than three
times what Carnegie had been willing to sell it for to Andrew
Mellon. And still Morgan had problems---Andrew Mellon and Henry
Frick.” (pages 40-41)
If you noticed last month we saw where
Carnegie received $300 million, here we see a $492 million figure.
The other $192 million went to Carnegie’s partners including Pilgrim
Society member Charles Schwab, who ended up with a net worth of at
least $40 million (page 29, “America’s 60 Families) and still more
went to the Phipps family of Pilgrim Society members, intermarried
with the Carnegie family.
“Mellon and Frick went about building
Union Steel. Andrew Mellon picked up other companies---Republic
Coke; Schoen Works; Pressed Steel Car; Marshall Construction. Union
Steel, renamed Union-Sharon Steel after a merger, remained Andrew
Mellon’s pet project. After all, he was holding his own in
competition with the greatest financier of them all---J.P. Morgan.
Now it was Andrew Mellon who could laugh. Some people dislike
heights. Others despise war. The thing J.P. Morgan hated above all
else was competition. He considered competition wasteful, something
only free enterprisers and fools believed in, it drove prices and
profits down. Morgan tried to buy Union-Sharon Steel. When his
offer reached $75 million, Mellon and Frick accepted. It was far
more than their company was worth. For example, part of the
purchase price was $4,000,000 for an ore mine that had cost
Union-Sharon only $150,000 several years earlier.” (page 41)
“A special House of Representatives
committee established specifically to investigate U.S. Steel pointed
out how Mellon and Frick were able to get the best of the mighty
Morgan---“The aggressive attitude of Union-Sharon and the capacity
and long experience in business of Mr. Frick and others associated
with him caused the Steel Corporation grave concern. The methods
which destroyed the smaller companies could not be rendered
effective to eliminate Union-Sharon Steel. It soon became manifest
that this company would not push. Located in the midst of the
Corporation’s great plants, it was in a position to render its
competition especially troublesome. There remained but one
solution---to pay such price as those in charge might deem for an
agreement not to further disturb industrial conditions which the
Steel Corporation sought to establish. Or compete with them for
business. The Corporation decided to pay.” (pages 41-42)
Many competitions for wealth have
taken place between members of The Pilgrims, but always on the
inside, where the facts about the organization and the membership in
it of competing interests is kept extremely secret.
“It was boom one year, bust the next,
around the turn of the century, but neither state of the economy
affected Andrew Mellon. In boom times he counted stock dividends,
interest payments, trust charges, expanded production in companies
he had purchased earlier. When the economy went bust it was
foreclose; buy up property at a fraction of its value; force weaker
companies to sell or merge. The aluminum company, the golden black
profits of oil, the real estate and industrial companies acquired by
foreclosure, the soaring assets of the banks and insurance
companies, all combined to make Andrew Mellon one of the richest men
in the world.” (pages 43-44)
“No man appointed to public office
ever had to resign from as many corporate boards as Andrew Mellon
did. There were fifty-one in all, and their activities spanned the
spectrum of industry and finance. Included were aluminum companies,
oil companies, steel companies, companies involved in coke, coal,
carbon, shipbuilding, electricity, automobiles, land development,
railroads, construction, insurance and banking. Andrew Mellon
served for twelve years as Secretary of the Treasury, first with
Harding, then with Coolidge and Hoover. The Harding and Coolidge
administrations particularly might better have been called the
Mellon administration. “For eight years,” wrote Drew Pearson, “he
dominated the national capital. For eight years his word
was law with every banker throughout the land. For eight years
Presidents served under him. So powerful was his
influence, so great his prestige that he told them what to do
and his judgment was final. Andrew Mellon was active in
other areas behind the scenes. In 1922 aluminum import duties were
increased 250 percent by the Republican sponsored Fordney-McCumber
Tariff. In addition, the tariff lowered the import duty on linseed
oil. The reason for these seemingly contradictory tariffs was
clear. Andrew Mellon had a 100 percent monopoly on American
aluminum. By keeping the metal out of the country with an
outrageous import duty he maintained that monopoly. The more
linseed oil that came in, however, and the cheaper it got in, the
better. Mellon owned two of the eight largest linseed crushers in
the country.” (pages 47-48)
“In 1928 Judge Mellon’s son set his
sights on the highest goal of all---the Presidency of the United
States. He almost made it. Insiders knew that the battle between
Andrew Mellon and Herbert Hoover was simply a struggle between
Morgan money and Mellon money. With the help of the New York Times,
which thought it ludicrous that such a wealthy man should
openly run the country, (Mellon was actually running it from
behind the scenes), Herbert Hoover, the Morgan man, captured the
Republican presidential nomination. Such was Andrew Mellon’s
power, however, that after the election he remained on in Treasury.
If blame could be placed on one man for the Great Depression, that
man would be Andrew Mellon. Andrew Mellon’s optimism convinced
investors that stock prices could go up forever.” (pages 48-49)
“It is likely that Patman would have
succeeded in removing Mellon from office had not President Herbert
Hoover come to the rescue. He appointed Mellon ambassador to the
Court of St. James. As Patman ruefully remarked, there was no way
to remove from office a man who had already been removed. He called
Hoover’s action the equivalent of a Presidential pardon.” If
Americans were delighted to be rid of their Treasury Secretary,
Europeans were happy to have him. One French newspaper analyzed his
fortune and estimated that if cut into bricks of gold there would
be 160,000 bricks, each with a value of a million
francs. The newspaper did additional paperwork and discovered
those bricks would construct fifty-two gold houses.”
(pages 55-56)
In the Mellons we consider what is
surely one of the four largest fortunes in existence, the others
being the Rothschilds and Rockefellers, with the fourth one being
more uncertain, but possibly the Windsors (British Royals).
According to Hoffman (page 76), when Andrew Mellon’s daughter
married David Bruce, the son of a Maryland Senator with banking
interests in June 1926, President Coolidge was present, several
Supreme Court Justices, and many Senators and Congressmen among the
2,000 invited guests. Mellon himself presented the bride with a
cash gift of $10 million, easy enough when you’re part of the crowd
who controls the printing presses! As noted last month, David Bruce
turned up as a vice president of The Pilgrims as of the spooky 1973
letter I got from them that was not followed up despite requests.
David Bruce was also with the OSS, Office of Strategic Services
during WWII, the forerunner to the Central Intelligence Agency, and
was ambassador to France (1949-1952), West Germany (1957-1959),
Great Britain (1961-1969), U.S. liaison to People’s Republic of
China (1972-1974) and was appointed ambassador to NATO in 1974. He
was chief of the French operations of the Marshall Plan in 1948-1949
(already described). His older brother James, also a member of The
Pilgrims, was military aide to President Wilson in 1919 at the
Treaty of Versailles which was designed to goad Germany into a
second World War. By 1927 Bruce was a director of Chase National
Bank and eventually sat on such boards as Revlon; Republic Steel;
National Dairy Products; Congoleum; U.S. Industries; Fruehauf; Avco;
General American Investors; Loew’s Theatres; Technicolor and others,
and was ambassador to Argentina, 1947-1949.
“Andrew Mellon was an admirer of
Benito Mussolini. “A strong man,” said the Treasury Secretary in
1924 “has come in to reestablish the Italian government and not by
bargaining.” In 1926 Andrew Mellon’s opinion of Mussolini had risen
even higher---“Mussolini is making a new nation out of Italy. He is
one of the world’s most vigorous personalities. Many of his
measures are unique indeed, but they are effective.” (page 130)
On pages 137-138 Hoffman mentioned the
involvement of Paul Mellon’s wife, Bunny, heir to the Listerine
fortune, with some notables. (She traced her lineage all the way
back to Thomas Lloyd, deputy governor under William Penn, for whom
Pennsylvania is named). Paul was Andrew Mellon’s son, and another
member of The Pilgrims. Some of those his wife associated with
included Henry F. Du Pont (likely another member) of the Du Pont
chemical fortune, and Silver Users Association member; Charles
Englehard (probably not a member, but one level below), of the
chemical and metals refining company by the same name, another
Silver Users Association member; Mrs. Douglas Dillon, wife of the
then Treasury Secretary, the Pilgrim Society member who removed our
silver coins and gifted them to the Silver Users Association; John
L. Loeb, New York investment banker whose son John Jr. became a
member of The Pilgrims; John Walker (Pilgrim Society), director of
the Mellon endowed National Gallery of art; and Pilgrim Society
member Charles Francis Adams, chairman of defense contractor
Raytheon Company and great-great-great grandson of President John
Adams. Charles F. Adams was also brother in law of Pilgrim Society
member Henry Sturgis Morgan of Morgan Stanley & Company, grandson of
J.P. Morgan. In “War And Silver” (archives) you will find the
Mellon aluminum plants being “loaned” 13,000 tons of Treasury silver
during World War II for use as electrical conductors called “bus
bars,” and it’s unclear whether all the silver was returned.
Others Paul and Bunny Mellon ran with
included Mrs. Lyndon Johnson, wife of the President who helped his
fellow Pilgrim Society member Douglas Dillon steal our silver coins;
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Earl Warren, who presided over
the whitewash of the Kennedy assassination; Senator, later vice
president Hubert Humphrey, a member of The Pilgrims Council on
Foreign Relations subsidiary; Mr. And Mrs. Winthrop Aldrich (Pilgrim
Society, Order of the British Empire, ambassador to Britain,
1953-1957), of the Chase National Bank and the family of Senator
Nelson Aldrich of the Federal Reserve Act; and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
S. Gates of The Pilgrims. Gates was Secretary of the Navy (one of
the world’s largest purchasers of oil), 1957-1959, and Secretary of
Defense in 1960. By 1965 Gates was president of Morgan Guaranty
Trust Company, the commercial banking subsidiary of J.P. Morgan &
Company at 23 Wall Street, and was on the boards of Insurance
Company of North America; Smith, Kline & French Labs; Scott Paper;
Campbell Soup; General Electric (major defense contractor) and
others and was a life trustee of the University of Pennsylvania.
His father became president of that university in 1930, coming
directly from J.P. Morgan & Company, director of many corporations
and a highly likely Pilgrim Society wheelhorse. Charter Pilgrim
Society member George Woodward Wickersham of powerhouse law firm
Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft (of the Presidential family) was a
University of Pennsylvania trustee 1920-1926, became president of
the American Law Institute in 1923 and was chairman of the executive
committee of the France-America Society, a direct Pilgrim Society
front. Luther Martin III, a chemical, oil and gas tycoon, was a
member of The Pilgrims and president of the Alumni Society of the
University of Pennsylvania, 1936-1938 (Who’s Who 1949, pages
1593-1594) As Lundberg said on page 402 of “America’s 60
Families”---“It should be obvious by now that the universities and
colleges are hotbeds of political intrigue.” Gates (below)
Page 148, Hoffman noted that some 188
million pounds of aluminum per annum came from Alcoa for bomb
casings in the Vietnam War. In 1970-1971 David Bruce was U.S.
representative to the Paris Peace Talks on the Vietnam War, and many
observers knew the war was needlessly prolonged so defense
contractors could continue selling armaments. Hoffman noted
Mellon’s share of the $38 billion in after tax war profits during
World War I (page 37).
Pages 156-157, Hoffman mentions the
fact that in March 1966 Paul Mellon gave a dinner for 110 big shot
guests at the Sulgrave Club in Washington, D.C., at about exactly
the same moment a coup was taking place in Indonesia---which would
cost some 400,000 victims their lives, and that “one of its
principal beneficiaries was Alcoa.”
It should not be reckoned that the
Alcoa aluminum monopoly in the U.S. lasted forever. After World War
II, the Reynolds family of Virginia---whose fortune was estimated at
$117 million in 1924 (“America’s 60 Families,” page 26) founded
Reynolds Metals, with proceeds diverted from their tobacco company,
R.J. Reynolds Industries. Richard S. Reynolds Jr. of Reynolds Wrap,
and tobacco and banking interests, appeared in the leaked 1969 list
of The Pilgrims. So in the case of any significant competitor to a
Pilgrim Society run quasi-monopoly, the other entity is also under
their control.
“In August 1957, Paul gave his
daughter, Catherine Conover Mellon, in marriage to John William
Warner Jr., an assistant United States attorney at the time of the
marriage, but better posts were ahead. He became assistant
secretary of the Navy and in 1972 Secretary of the Navy. No public
official mentioned there might be a conflict of interest, with the
U.S. Navy being one of the world’s largest purchasers of oil and its
secretary being married into the Gulf Oil fortune.” (page 168)
In his Who’s Who listing Virginia
Senator Warner (since 1979) doesn’t mention the fact of Paul
Mellon’s daughter being his first wife, nor the fact that he was
also married to actress Elizabeth Taylor for a time. Warner is very
likely a Pilgrim Society member and very dangerous to the interests
of the Average working class American! As befits leading members of
The Pilgrim Society, Paul Mellon was acquainted with the patrons of
the Society, the British Royal family, whose ancestors presided over
a global exploitation covering some 13,000,000 square miles; a reign
of pillage that went on for centuries! In 1960 Paul was honored by
a reception at Buckingham Palace by His Royal Highness Prince Philip
the Duke of Edinburgh, president of the Royal Society of Arts, for
promoting “Anglo-American understanding” (code language for
British-American world rule!) Was the Prince a member of The
Pilgrims? Absolutely (page 45, 2002 Pilgrim book). According to
Hoffman (page 167)---
“Paul was a personal friend of Prince
Philip. He and Bunny entertained the Prince and Queen Elizabeth at
the Upperville estate in October 1957.”
The Mellons have had a lengthy list of
influential associates and functionaries over the years, including
General Matthew Ridgway (Pilgrim Society), Allied Supreme Commander
in Europe, 1951-1953 and Army chief of staff till 1955. Ridgway
chaired the Mellon Institute from 1955-1960, whereupon Paul Mellon
assumed its chairmanship. The Mellon Institute and Carnegie
Institute merged in 1967 to form Carnegie-Mellon University, fully
similar to the many other such universities founded or taken over by
Pilgrim Society members. On October 14 1952 The Pilgrims London
gave a dinner in honor of Ridgway, who had been in command of United
Nations forces in Korea as the North was being readied for a sellout
to Communism. The 2002 Pilgrim book, page 140, shows Ridgway
between the Duke of Edinburgh and Sir Winston Churchill. Page 171,
Hoffman noted others who associated with Paul Mellon---including
Jacqueline Kennedy, William Paley of Columbia Broadcasting System
and The Pilgrims and friend of the British Royal family (“The
Windsor Story” 1979 page 492); and John Hay Whitney, a vice
president alongside of David Bruce of The Pilgrims. Whitney (Order
of the British Empire) was a major heir to the Standard Oil fortune
and financial partner to David Selznick, whose film company released
such hits as A Star Is Born; Prisoner of Zenda; Tom Sawyer: and the
biggest classic of all time, Gone With The Wind (1939).
Whitney, ambassador to Great Britain,
1957-1961, owned the New York Herald Tribune, Whitney
Communications, J.H. Whitney & Company, and Whitcom Investment
Company. Whitney served as chairman of the English Speaking Union
of the United States, 1961-1963, a key Pilgrim Society front
organization, whose rank and file members they deride as
“hoi-polloi” (commoners), page 145, admitting The Pilgrims “is a
more exclusive affair.” Whitney was a trustee of the Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace and a member of the New York
Banking Board in the 1960’s. The 2002 Pilgrim book, page 145, has a
photo of Whitney shaking hands with Mrs. Pandit, High Commissioner
for India, at a Pilgrims banquet in London on April 4, 1957. Walter
Nelson Thayer (The Pilgrims 1969) was a Whitney agent and director
of Bankers Trust Company of New York, headed by Pilgrim Society
member Alfred Brittain III, a trustee of the Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace. The interlocks appear endless! Thayer was a
director of National Dairy Products Corporation on whose board sat
member James Bruce, Paul Mellon’s in-law, also a director of Federal
Home Loan Bank of New York. Thayer was with the Lend-Lease
Administration in 1941-1942, which did so much to increase Soviet
power, and was an assistant to Averill Harriman of The Pilgrims, at
the Harriman Mission in London, 1941-1945. Whitney, like Paul
Mellon, was a member of Scroll & Key Society at Yale, a powerful
counterpart to Skull & Bones Society which, while important, has
been overrated---probably to distract attention away from the
Pilgrim Society! In “The Rockefellers An American Dynasty” by Peter
Collier (1976, page 228) we read about Whitney being pals with them,
not surprising since they all came from Standard Oil, and the
Whitneys are intermarried with the Pagets, of which two were listed
in The Pilgrims of Great Britain (circa 1969), and a Whitney has
been a director of Rolls Royce; chairman of British European
Airways; British Overseas Airways; and Midland Bank, “one of the
world’s greatest financial institutions” (“Tragedy and Hope,” page
944). Whitney was rated number 22 in a list of big rich inheritors
in 1957 (“The Rich and the Super Rich,” Lundberg, 1968). In the
late 1950’s Whitney was chairman of Freeport Sulphur Company and
director, Great Northern Paper Company and presided over the John
Hay Whitney Foundation, a tax dodge. Whitney (below) whose second
marriage was into the Roosevelt family of Pilgrim Society members---
Paul Mellon’s stepdaughter Eliza
married Viscount Moore a director of The Economist (London) and a
member of The Pilgrims of Great Britain in 1968 (Later known as The
Earl of Drogheda, descendant of the Earl of Drogheda who was Queen
Victoria’s private secretary for a quarter of a century, and helped
coordinate details of the Chinese Opium Trade!)
Hoffman (page 175) mentioned a House
of Representatives subcommittee that found Mellon National
Bank---headed by Pilgrim Society member John Anton Mayer (director
General Motors, H.J. Heinz Foods, Armco Steel, Edgewater Steel,
Westinghouse, Consolidated Coal Company, PPG Industries, Norfolk &
Western Railway, Duquesne Light Company, Lincoln National Life
Insurance, Pittsburgh Baseball Club and others), held 99.9 % of the
preferred stock of First Boston Corporation, of which Pilgrim
Society member, Mellon agent Emil J. Pattberg Jr. was chairman.
Mayer and Pattberg (below)---
First Boston has occasionally rated as
the world’s leading investment banking operation. Its national and
global reach is evident---
It later merged with Credit Suisse
as Credit Suisse First Boston, probably reflecting Mellon holdings
in one of Switzerland’s two biggest banks, possibly acquired with
funds from the sale of Gulf Oil to Chevron. Pages 177-178, Hoffman
noted the House investigation of Mellon Bank showed director
interlocks with four major chemical companies, twelve steel
companies, and with Westinghouse Electric and General
Electric---corporations supposedly in competition with each other.
Page 184 Hoffman mentioned the New York Times on the Mellons,
without giving the page number (I would have!) New York Times, May
2, 1971---
“One characteristic the family shares
is an intense craving for privacy. In weeks of research, not one
Mellon or relative of the family agreed to be interviewed.
Moreover, some business and financial associates of the family, when
informed by Mellon spokesmen that a story on family activities was
unwelcome, closed the door to information about family business or
foundation matters. The Mellons, with their great wealth, are
shielded by phalanxes of lawyers, business and financial counselors
and family retainers. This is by design. So great is the desire
for anonymity that one branch of the family a few years ago hired a
public relations agency to keep its name out of the papers.
Furthermore, the very thought of articles tying together the family
fortune makes Mellon lawyers uneasy.”
Pages 186-187 lists “some of the
companies the Mellons either have an interest in or control:”---
“Alcoa; Allegheny Ludlum Steel;
Armstrong Cork; Brockway Glass; Carborundum; Certain-Teed; Chrysler;
Columbia Gas; Eastman Kodak; General Electric; General Motors; Great
Atlantic & Pacific Tea; Gulf Oil; Hanna Mining; H.J. Heinz; Jones &
Laughlin Steel; Koppers; Martin Marietta; Montana-Dakota Utilities;
National Cash Register; National Steel; Pacific Lighting; Pittsburgh
Plate Glass (PPG); Pullman; Reichhold Chemicals; TRW; Union Carbide;
United States Steel; Warner Lambert; Westinghouse Electric”
Hoffman concluded (page 189) on Paul
Mellon (below)---
“His companies became even more
mammoth, surging with a life of their own. They devoured smaller
and weaker companies and made a mockery of the word “competition.”
They invaded the councils of government, like a sinister virus, and
they ruled the markets of the world. Foreign governments rose and
fell by the power of those companies, and people died in the
struggles that ensued.”
On pages 175-176 there is a lengthy
list of shares in corporations held by Mellon Bank trust department,
which at that time included 47.3% of Bush Terminal Company. In the
1943 Who’s Who in America, page 445, we find Irving T. Bush (born
July 12, 1869---relative of the Bush family we hear so much
about---maybe). We read---
“Founded Bush Terminal Company 1902,
with 125 warehouses, 8 piers, 18 model loft or industrial buildings
& facilities for receiving, shipping, storing, selling &
manufacturing goods, covering 30 city blocks in South Brooklyn,
N.Y., attracting over 300 manufacturing & wholesale establishments.
Also established the 30 story Sales Building, 42nd
Street, N.Y.C. & Bush Terminal Railroad.”
In “The Rich and the Super Rich” we
find on page 227---“The Mellons are obviously still in the
ascendant” and page 228 features a statement concerning attempts to
trace the family holdings---
“To trace all such ramifications
would be a virtually endless task.”
THE “MIRRORS” OF WALL STREET
Returning to that 1933 volume we find
(pages 43-46 and 49)---
“A few hours after Great Britain was
catapulted into the war, Sir Cecil Spring-Rice called Mr. Morgan
from Washington. An engagement was made for an immediate
conference. Before the ambassador and the financier met, the world
was topsy-turvy. Armies were marching. Navies were at their war
stations. Trade lanes were deserted. Gold, the international
common denominator, fled to the cyclone cellars, leaving foreign
exchange to ricochet around the globe. In the seclusion where his
father had solved so many financial problems, Morgan heard Sir Cecil
present the position of the British Empire and its immediate war
needs. Downing Street wanted an answer to one question! “Would Mr.
Morgan lend all of his power and force, financial and commercial, to
the British Government?” “I will,” Mr. Morgan replied. The
ambassador and the financier shook hands. The greatest financial
arrangement in history had been consummated.”
“Nothing that had ever taken place
in that library was comparable in scope, in magnitude, in its effect
on mankind. Nothing that Junius Morgan or J.P., the Elder, ever
dreamed of could be classed with this partnership between George the
Fifth and J.P. Morgan. Under his guidance the firm moves in an
orbit into which it had scarcely ventured when the elder J.P. Morgan
died in Rome in 1913. It deals in billions where it formerly dealt
in millions. There is hardly a spot on the globe where civilization
has blazed a trail that the firm does not reach for its tithe. It
has all the power bequeathed to it by its founder, and much more.
Maybe its interests are too far-flung for it to focus its attention
on the welfare of America. Maybe it is because the present Mr.
Morgan’s spiritual home is in England and that the crudities of
America he abides only because it affords such an excellent market
place for his wares. The British Empire had known and trusted his
father and his grandfather, and their trust in Mr. Morgan was
justified, as subsequent developments proved.”
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, Pilgrim Society
member from London and agent of King George V, then Patron of The
Pilgrims, could have expected no outcome other than Morgan’s
cooperation, as he himself was a second-generation British agent.
Morgan recruited many wealthy Pilgrim Society families to join
forces in many trust arrangements with J.P. Morgan & Company, and
apart from the Vanderbilts, the other top-tier power bloc in the
Morgan banking universe has been the Du Ponts, According to pages
34-35 of “America’s 60 Families”---
“The Du Ponts have a family holding
company, the Christiana Corporation, which gives them the largest
industrial participation of any family in the United States. J.P.
Morgan & Company includes the Du Ponts among its supporting
families.”
According to the same source (page
34)---
“The Rockefellers may be likened to
the Hapsburgs; the Mellons to the Hohenzollerns; the Du Ponts to the
Romanovs, etc.”
Those are references to feudal royal
European families dating back centuries. Lundberg spoke (page 35)
of Morgan banking influence---
“He derives his unique and perhaps
unprecedented power from the massed resources of the many families
and their corporations that stand behind him. The allegiance of
these families was gradually won over a period of many decades by
Morgan prestige, earned by demonstrated ability in ruthless
financial statesmanship and political intrigue exercised on behalf
of the rich.”
Page 37 Lundberg mentioned “the
weighty charge that they maneuvered America into the World War, when
J.P. Morgan and Company was purchasing agent for the Allies.”
Various commentators who aren’t
members of the banker sponsored American Historical Association have
pointed out that Germany was becoming a tough competitor with
Britain in global markets, and the British didn’t approve. So the
King of England, whose ancestors and associates set out centuries
earlier to extend the British Empire around the world, enlisted J.P.
Morgan of his secret Pilgrim Society (no references exist in any
Who’s Who about any Morgan family member having been members, but
the rare books and Congressional Record reveal it) to help drag
America into the British sponsored war. The British hoped the
League of Nations, established after the war, would absorb all
national sovereignties and become the only military superpower,
after which, presumably, the King would emerge as the world ruler,
with sections of the planet assigned to members of The Pilgrims.
Lundberg continued on Morgan (pages 36-37)---
“The Morgan firm and its affiliated
commercial banks act on behalf of such tremendous accumulations as
those of the Vanderbilts, Goulds, Drexels, Wideners, Berwinds,
Phippses, Hills, Dukes, Ryans, McCormicks, Bakers, Du Ponts,
Fishers, Fields, Jameses and others. The total extent of Morgan
power in American industry and finance defies statistical
measurement.”
Lundberg mentioned “the vast amount of
power wielded by J.P. Morgan and Company” (page 42).
Fortune magazine, part of the Luce
family (Pilgrim Society) publishing empire, said of J.P. Morgan
(1837-1913) in its January 1975 issue, page 67—
“A mathematics professor at the
university of Gottingen was deeply disappointed to hear that his
brilliant American student planned to desert academia and enter
business. But John Pierpont Morgan, born in Hartford, came back to
the U.S. to apply that analytical mind to the mobilization of
financial resources for the huge expansion of the U.S. economy. For
that task, Morgan was strategically placed; his father Junius, was
the leading American banker in London, from which capital flowed to
the U.S. As a mathematician, Morgan wanted the business world to
make sense. U.S. Steel Corporation, integrated from coal and iron
ore deposits up to wire, plate, and rails, was his greatest
achievement. Many Americans were more horrified than
grateful that he had the power to stop financial panics and
perform other functions now assigned to the Federal Reserve.”
Notice how the magazine declined to
describe Morgan’s role in causing financial panics! As a brief
note, Huntington Hartford 3rd (born 1911) appeared in the
1969 list of The Pilgrims and was incognito elsewhere. Hartford, of
the family that founded Hartford Connecticut and associated with the
Hartford Insurance interests, was owner of the Oil Shale
Corporation, later renamed the Tosco Corporation, then merged into
Conoco-Phillips, another Pilgrim Society run entity. Hartford was
also owner of Paradise Island in Nassau, the Bahamas and was a
director of the New York World Fair, 1964-1965, and a member of such
Pilgrim Society fronts as the United States Committee for the United
Nations and the U.S. National Commission for UNESCO (United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). “The Mirrors
of Wall Street,” pages 47 and 50 commented---
“Mr. Morgan wonders why his bank is
not accepted as an example of perfect management rather than as a
horrible example of uncontrolled power. I have referred to the fact
that the power of Morgan and Company is greater than ever before; it
continues on the ascendancy. That is true.”
Successors running J.P. Morgan &
Company---without exception---have all been Pilgrim Society
members. According to “America’s 60 Families” page 33---
“An extraordinarily complex and
resourceful personality like Thomas W. Lamont, who has been the
brains of J.P. Morgan and Company throughout the postwar period and
was a mentor of Woodrow Wilson in Wilson’s second administration as
well as of President Herbert Hoover throughout his fateful single
term in the White House, has exercised more power for twenty
years in the Western hemisphere, has put into effect more final
decisions from which there has been no appeal, than any other
person. Lamont has been the First Consul de facto in the
invisible Directory of postwar high finance and politics, a man
consulted by presidents, prime ministers, governors of central
banks, the directing intelligence behind the Dawes and Young Plans.
Lamont is Protean; he is a diplomat, a publisher, a politician, a
statesman---an international presence as well as a financier.”
If you read the first article in this
series---the first of its kind to ever be done anywhere in the world
on this organization---you may recall seeing the name Thomas Lamont
as chairman of the executive committee of The Pilgrims as of 1942, a
post he must have held for quite a few years. The fantastic power
attributed to Lamont by Lundberg sounds close to Hoffman’s
description of Andrew Mellon! Which was the more powerful? The
important fact is that they were both members of The Pilgrims---a
fact neither admitted to in Who’s Who volumes! The drift of
accumulated information on the members of this Society is
overwhelmingly convincing to solidly establish it as THE most
powerful organization of mortal men to ever exist! Mellon was
certainly far wealthier; however, Lamont (an overseer of Harvard
University from 1912-1925) wielded the delegated powers of many
other dynastic Pilgrim Society families, some of which were listed
by Lundberg. Note that neither Mellon (Western University of
Pennsylvania) nor Lamont were Yale graduates---a fact along with the
long time and still current leadership of the American establishment
of David Rockefeller (Harvard) puts the lie to the myth that “Yale
University alone is the only important elitist university in the
nation because it’s where the Skull & Bones Society is based.” Yale
is one of the highly important institutions, but hardly alone in
that regard.
We have an organization of the world’s
most powerful men of which few outsiders have ever heard---an
organization which is firmly in control of our foreign and domestic
policies. The problems we face as a nation cannot ever be solved
unless we first force these Pilgrims into the full light of day.
Consider the Lamont family for a moment. Thomas Lamont arranged a
$100 million loan to Mussolini in 1926. Before that, in 1919, he
was the representative of the United States Treasury in Paris with
the American Commission to Negotiate the Peace, which wasn’t
negotiations in any sense, but everything forced on Germany. The
Young Plan was a reference to the forced arrangement by which
Germany was made to repay war debts and damages. It was named after
Owen D. Young whom we met last December in the first of this series;
Young turned up on The Pilgrims executive committee as of 1942. The
Young Plan (started in 1930) superceded the Dawes Plan (1924 through
1929), also having to do with German reparations. Lamont was also a
director of the First National Bank of New York.
Charles G. Dawes of The Pilgrims
wrote “The Banking System of the United States” (1892)---naturally,
since that Society is so deeply in control of the system. He was
Comptroller of the Currency, 1897-1901. Dawes organized the Central
Trust Company of Illinois at Chicago in 1902, associated with the
J.P. Morgan interests. Dawes was chairman of the General Purchasing
Board of the Allied Expeditionary Forces during World War
I---meaning, that this Pilgrim Society member (age 51 at the time)
personally presided over awarding of who knows how many thousands of
military and naval related contracts. You may be certain he
dispensed the most important and lucrative of these to his hidden
fellows in the concealed Pilgrim Society! Dawes was Vice President
of the United States, 1925-1929. Dawes was also ambassador to Great
Britain, 1929-1932, a post reserved for those deepest in league with
the British Crown. As of 1932 Dawes became chairman of the $2
billion Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Very heavy hitters,
these Pilgrim Society members! As of the 1947 Who’s Who---when
Dawes was 82---he still had not admitted in that volume to being a
member of The Pilgrims. He was “underground” or “invisible” as most
members are!
Owen D. Young, also identified with
the J.P. Morgan interests, was chairman of both General Electric and
Radio Corporation of America, and was a director of the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York from 1923-1940. We took a look at the
Dawes and Young Plans because Lundberg commented as to Thomas Lamont
having been the “directing intelligence” behind both those plans.
He and the other two big shots associated with administration of
those plans were all Pilgrim Society members. The relevance is
overpowering. The Wall Street and London financial community, which
by extensions such as Bilderberg and the Trilateral Commission, also
includes European and Japanese banks, all act in coordinated plans
by which the world has been looted for generations. The purpose of
this series is to identify those responsible. It isn’t merely any
certain specific financial institution. It is an organization that
qualifies by acceptable criteria as a secret society that is
responsible. They call themselves The Pilgrims! As for Thomas
Lamont of the J.P. Morgan interests, more must be made note of.
We have had a look at backing of
Communism in Russia and later in China. Considering that Thomas
Lamont was one of the half dozen leading bankers in the world for a
long span of years, it might appear a bit shocking to the uninformed
to discover that his younger son, Corliss Lamont (born 1902) was a
leading Socialist-Communist in the United States for many years and
the 1947 Who’s Who (page 1341) listed him as a contributing editor
to a publication called “Soviet Russia Today.” He was a professor
of philosophy at Columbia University, 1928-1932, during the time
when Nicholas Murray Butler, then president of The Pilgrims New
York, was also president of Columbia University. Recall in the
January 2005 item in this series the quote from Butler as to his
view about totalitarian governments bringing forth “men of far
stronger character than the system of elections.” In 1942 Corliss
Lamont---who was probably NOT a member of The Pilgrims (his older
brother, Thomas Stilwell Lamont, born 1899, was)---chaired the
Congress of American-Soviet Friendship. In 1943 he was elected to
the national council of that organization. Corliss listed himself
as a director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
National chairman of the A.C.L.U. as of Who’s Who In The East, 1957,
page 29, was New York lawyer Ernest Angell of The Pilgrims, who
married Elizabeth Chapin of the American Motors fortune. Corliss
was an advisor to the American Humanist Association, 1939-1941; an
instructor at the New School for Social Research, 1940-1942; member,
American Academy of Arts and Sciences; and described himself as a
“radical writer on political and economic affairs since 1933.” It
was in that year he authored “Russia Day By Day.” In 1939 he
authored, “You Might Like Socialism---A Way of Life For Modern
Man.” According to the 1961 Who’s Who, page 630, later listed as a
member of the Council on Foreign Relations, authored “I Want To Be
Like Stalin” (1947) and was a Columbia University professor,
1927-1956, under part of the tenure of Nicholas Murray Butler, its
president and Pilgrim Society member who, as we have seen, voiced
support for totalitarian systems as opposed to holding elections.
Counts held posts with the National Education Association (banker
front) and was a member of the A.C.L.U.
In 1956 Corliss Lamont was indicted
for contempt of Congress, but was rescued by a United States Court
of Appeals. He was a member of assorted Pilgrim Society fronts
including the Foreign Policy Association and the American
Association for the United Nations. Gordon Lamont (born 1893)
appeared in the 1969 list of The Pilgrims and remained invisible as
to his membership elsewhere. Apparently he was a cousin to Corliss
and Thomas, because he was a director of “Lamont, Corliss & Company”
1925-1951. He was president of Dairy Industry Supply Association,
1944-1946 and director, Dairy Society International. He chaired the
Beryllium Corporation, 1955-1958 and was a director of Nestle, the
Swiss food multinational. Gordon Lamont was mayor of Jupiter
Island, Florida, 1967-1977, a community of wealthy retired persons.
Thomas Stilwell Lamont, older brother
of the Communist Corliss Lamont, was with J.P. Morgan & Company from
1922 to his retirement in the late 1960’s, rising to vice chairman,
1955-1958 and director, Phelps-Dodge Corporation (copper mining);
International Minerals & Chemicals; and Texas Gulf Sulphur.
Chairman of Phelps-Dodge at that time was Louis S. Cates of The
Pilgrims and ex-head of the American Mining Congress. Lamont was an
overseer of Harvard University. There appears to be no major
university the Society is not firmly in control of. Like his
father, this second generation Pilgrim Society member was a trustee
of the pro-British Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching, and was a director of Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railway. Another J.P. Morgan & Company Pilgrim Society member,
Ellmore Clark Patterson (underground or invisible save for the
leaked 1969 list), was also a director of that railroad and many
other big corporations, and occasionally appeared before
Congressional and Senatorial committees giving testimony on banking,
trade and financial matters, probably flying back to Manhattan
satisfied with more banker ripoffs of the American taxpayers.
Thomas S. Lamont was president, 1946-1956 of the Phillips Exeter
Academy, a prep school for children of Pilgrim Society members and
its affiliates, who afterwards frequently enroll at Yale, Harvard,
Princeton or Columbia.
The J.P. Morgan interests, one of the
three strongest banking groups in the United States---with the
Rockefeller associated banks---Citigroup and Chase, and the Mellons---joined
forces much more recently to become JPMorganChase. Bank One
recently merged into that structure, which earlier took over the
large Chemical Bank circa 1986. Will we witness a merger of
JPMorganChase and Citigroup? It matters little either way. Pilgrim
Society members will remain in control of separate or merged
institutions. More recently than the days of Lamont and his eldest
son, who, along with Pilgrim Society member Russell Leffingwell
(director of Council on Foreign Relations, 1927-1960), ran J.P.
Morgan & Company, other identifiable Pilgrim Society members have
been at the helm of the ultra-powerful institution. Ellmore Clark
Patterson (born 1913) appeared in the 1969 list. Patterson married
Ann Hyde Choate in 1940, a product of the Hyde family of Pilgrim
Society members (Equitable Life Assurance Society) and the Choates
(Joseph H. Choate, a Rockefeller attorney, was ambassador to
Britain, 1899-1905 and was U.S. delegate to the International Peace
Conference at The Hague in 1907). Patterson was with J.P. Morgan &
Company beginning in 1935 and became chairman in 1971. He served as
a trustee of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the
University of Chicago, and was a director of Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railway; Schlumberger Limited; Standard Brands; Bethlehem
Steel; General Motors and Canada Life Assurance. Schlumberger is a
close rival to Halliburton---oil and gas services---both in the
range of $13 billion with over 80,000 employees each (2003).
Patterson (below) was also a member of the important Presidential
Commission on Financial Structure and Regulation, 1970-1972.
President of J.P. Morgan & Company
under Patterson was Walter Hines Page II, whose grandfather Walter
Hines Page, was ambassador to Great Britain during the critical
World War I years, 1913-1918; Page authored “The Rebuilding of Old
Commonwealths” (1902) establishing himself as a North American
collaborator of the British Empire, which is exactly what The
Pilgrim Society is about. Arthur Wilson Page (born 1883) was very
likely a member, but it’s one of many such cases where absolute
proof is to date unavailable. Arthur was a director of Chase
National Bank (“competitor”); Prudential Insurance; Carnegie
Corporation; Continental Oil; Westinghouse Electric; Kennecott
Copper; American Telephone & Telegraph and Bell Telephone of
Canada. Walter Page II assumed the chairmanship at J.P. Morgan &
Company in 1978 upon Patterson’s retirement. Page was a director of
Kennecott Copper and Merck & Company, a big pharmaceutical
interest. My intention is to present a discussion of the
pharmaceutical and medical research fields, as The Pilgrims are
firmly in control of these areas and my belief is---they will use
these as the final measure to drain wealth from the rest of us. If
you are blind, diabetic, have a weak heart, failing lungs or cancer,
would you not trade all your assets for a cure or at least a life
extender??? The Society will plunder the world unchecked lest they
are exposed and stopped. Page II served as president of the Long
Island Biological Association; director or trustee, Foreign Policy
Association; Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory; New York Urban
Coalition; and Carnegie Institution of Washington.
Lewis T. Preston Jr. (born 1926)
became chairman of J.P. Morgan & Company at 23 Wall Street,
1980-1990. In the 1981 Who’s Who he admitted his membership in The
Pilgrims, but in the 1994 edition he went underground about it. He
was a director of General Electric and a trustee of the Foxcroft
School, Middleburg, Virginia, another institution for children of
the intermarried dynastic rich. Preston married Gladys Pulitzer in
1959, of the Pulitzer newspaper publishing fortune. I suggest you
take a look at “News Media Silver Blackout” here in the Archives for
an overview of Pilgrim Society domination of the news media. Walter
Page II and Lewis T. Preston Jr. (below)---
Preston became president of the
International Bank for Reconstruction & Development (World Bank) in
Washington, D.C., as of 1993, a highly important Pilgrim Society
instrumentality for looting the American middle class and stealing
resources from the so-called developing world. He followed a long
list of Pilgrim Society members in that role, including Leon Fraser,
on record as opposing silver coinage, and George D. Woods, of the
Mellon controlled First Boston Corporation. Fraser was a Council on
Foreign Relations director, 1936-1945. Over and over I notice the
dominant management of the outer ring known as the CFR is always
members of The Pilgrims! Fraser was with both the Dawes Plan and
the Young Plan, a delegate to the 1933 London Monetary & Economic
Conference and a Federal Reserve Bank of New York director, First
National Bank of New York, General Electric, Mutual Life and others.
THE MIRRORS ON THOMAS LAMONT
The 1933 volume, which we have looked
at some, had a chapter on Thomas Lamont (born 1870) on pages
98-112. Some excerpts---
“Few living financiers have such a
world-wide reputation as this son of a village Methodist minister
who worked his way through Harvard, became a newspaper reporter and
at forty-one was a member of J.P. Morgan & Company. Few have had
wider experience in international affairs---diplomatic as well as
financial. During the twenty years that Mr. Lamont has been a
considerable figure in the world he has ventured into fields other
than those devoted solely to money making. His name has been
associated with the formation of organizations, national and
international, that were heralded in the interest of the
commonweal. He commenced to rebuild a great newspaper on the
foundations of the New York Evening Post. Lamont of Morgan and
Company has become its envoy extraordinary, its glorified
propagandist, part of a money-making machine. He has never
recovered from his earlier impressions of the elder Mr. Morgan. No
peasant ever bowed more humbly before the Roman pontiff than Lamont
bowed before Mr. Morgan. His word was dogma. And now, after twenty
years, he genuflects before the old gentlemen’s chair and thanks God
that he was chosen to live in his beatified shadow.” (pages 99-101)
“The House of Morgan can do no wrong.
It is impeccable and infallible in its succession. Great ventures
in the world of money---the kind that thrill most bankers---have
long since become his commonplaces. There is scarcely a type of
major finance that he has not initiated or sealed. His successful
negotiations have been completed on both sides of the Atlantic, and
of the Pacific. He is no longer a specialist as are other members
of the firm. He is not preoccupied with the details of transactions
no matter how great. He is Mr. Morgan’s alter ego. He sits at his
right hand, and when “The Chief” is aboard the Corsair---the fourth
of the line, as Mr. Morgan is the fourth of his line---Mr. Lamont
takes his place at the head of the table. When he speaks, his voice
is the voice of Morgan and Company. Mr. Morgan speaks to Mr. Lamont
and Mr. Lamont speaks to the people. He attends innumerable
conferences and conventions of a public and quasi-public nature, and
expounds the principles of banking and service to mankind. His
assistant, Martin Egan, a one-time newspaper publisher, studies the
trends of public opinion and assists Mr. Lamont in the preparation
of utterances to the end that unhealthy tendencies may be snuffed
out and encouragement be given to those consonant with Morgan
dogma.” (pages 101-102)
“The partners of Morgan and Company
are chosen as carefully as are the members of the College of
Cardinals, if for different reasons. There is no club quite so
select. Members are invited to join; they are not recruited from
the ranks. With three notable exceptions, no employee of the firm
has ever sat at the table unless the blood of a member ran in his
veins. It is an unusual role---typically Morganesque. Candidates
for admission must be approved by Mr. Lamont before Mr. Morgan signs
their partnership papers. Lamont chose Russell Leffingwell, who was
an assistant Secretary of the Treasury in charge of foreign finance
when the Allied loans were negotiated. Mr. Leffingwell took to
Washington a personable, if unknown, young man fresh from law school
as his secretary---Seymour Parker Gilbert. Next only to his
immediate superior, Mr. Gilbert was in a position to know more than
any other about the workings of that division of the Treasury. When
Leffingwell retired and took his knowledge to “The Corner,” Gilbert
succeeded him at Treasury.” (pages 104-105)
“Mr. Gilbert became Under Secretary of
the Treasury in his early thirties. His well-ordered mind and his
willingness to devote his entire time to business charmed the
newspapermen, and he became a national figure. The press presented
him to the public as another Alexander Hamilton, and the description
was accurate. In due course he became Agent General of Reparations,
and after the Methuselahs who conduct European banking systems
overcame the shock induced by his youthful appearance, they
discovered in him a very efficient person. Then he was invited to
join Morgan and Company.” (page 105)
In the 1947 Who’s Who Leffingwell
stated (page 1379) “director and president Council on Foreign
Relations” and admitted in his listing to being a member of
“Pilgrims;” this was when he was chairman of the executive committee
of J.P. Morgan & Company. In the 1961 Who’s Who, page 1702, he
stated “fellow, Royal Economic Society” and member American Economic
Association, Piping Rock Club and other clubs interlocked with The
Pilgrim Society. The Royal Economic Society, like its American
counterpart at Vanderbilt University, opposes silver as money, both
being propaganda fronts for fiat money creators. Gilbert was
another Pilgrim Society operative with delegated power---not an
inner core member.
“It is doubtful if Mr. Lamont would
have ever discovered John W. Davis as the proper person to become
chief counselor to the firm if he had to seek him out in Wheeling,
West Virginia. But after Mr. Davis had been Solicitor General of
the United States and, particularly, Ambassador to Great Britain, he
had more than an attractive personality and a good legal mind. He
had experience that Morgan and Company could use, and his word
carried magic in political circles. Frank Polk, Davis’ legal
partner had been Under Secretary of State and sat for a while as an
American representative at the Peace Conference; he was of value for
more than his legal lore. Lamont used rare judgment in the
selection of all these gentlemen.” (pages 106-107)
John W. Davis, Ambassador to Great
Britain, 1918-1921 (also director American Telephone & Telegraph)
and Frank L. Polk were both Pilgrim Society members. Polk was a
director of their kindergarten subsidiary, the Council on Foreign
Relations, 1921-1943; Davis was a CFR director from 1921 through
1955. Davis was president of the Association of the Bar of the City
of New York, 1931-1932. The most high-powered attorneys in the
United States are members of The Pilgrims. Davis, Polk & Wardwell,
current name of the law firm launched by Davis and his Pilgrim
Society partners, has always been a representative of the Morgan
interests, also of the Rockefellers, especially since the mammoth
merger of J.P. Morgan & Company with the Chase Manhattan
Corporation. The original firm name was Davis, Polk, Wardwell,
Gardiner & Reed, circa 1921; later it became Davis, Polk, Wardwell,
Sunderland & Kiendl. Allen Wardwell (born 1873) was president of
the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, 1943-1945,
director of the Bank of New York. (President of the Association of
the Bar of the City of New York, 1927-1929, was “invisible” Pilgrim
Society member Charles Evans Hughes, Secretary of State, 1924-1925,
who became Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court,
1930-1941). Wardwell was “commissioner” of the Red Cross mission to
Russia, 1917-1918 and again chairman of the Red Cross delegation to
Russia in 1941, both almost certainly fronts for funneling money to
the Reds. Chances are very great that Wardwell was a member.
Fragmentary information stands in the way of identification of all
past and present members. Highly influential men were members of a
secret society whose efforts are coordinated towards the object of
“absorbing the wealth of the world,” and we cannot ascertain all
their identities!
Another member of that J.P. Morgan
associated law firm was Edwin Sherwood Stowell Sunderland (born
1887), member Pilgrim Society, whose lengthy listing on page 2826 of
the 1961 Who’s Who shows that his daughter Dorothy Joan married
Charles Scribner Jr. Scribner, a large scale publishing tycoon,
turned up in the 1969 list of The Pilgrims, and served as president
of the American Book Publishers Council and trustee, Princeton
University. There are numerous instances of younger members being
son in law to older members. Sunderland was a director of the
Jekyll Island (Georgia) Club---of Federal Reserve fame---and a
governor of the Union club, an important New York City club. A
member of various Pilgrim Society fronts including the American
Society for International Law and the English Speaking Union,
Sunderland was a director of Morningside Heights Incorporated (with
which Pilgrim Society member David Rockefeller was later to take a
large interest in); United States Trust Company of New York; Berwind-White
Coal Mining; Illinois Central Railroad; Harriman, Ripley & Company;
Missouri Pacific Lines and others.
To return to “The Mirrors of Wall
Street” on Thomas Lamont---
“He developed a keen interest in
international politics. He fancied that he had a flair for
improving conditions in the world through the power of his banking
house. He approved heartily of the United States entering the
League of Nations. All the debating societies he helped finance
solemnly demanded that the United States sign on the dotted line.”
(pages 108-109)
All the big bankers and cartelists in
the Society want a World Government. National borders stand in the
way of profits. They want to get rid of the entire middle class and
leave people just enough for subsistence. That is, those they don’t
deem “surplus population” to be exterminated by means of wars,
famines, or created biological plagues. Many of these Pilgrim
Society members are involved with the United Nations Association.
From “America’s 60 Families,” pages
184-185 and 318, we encounter---
“Morrow and Lamont shuttled in and out
of the White House with the regularity of confirmed tipplers
visiting their favorite tavern. When Lamont was not in Washington
the telephone line between the White House and 23 Wall Street was in
almost constant use. Morrow and Lamont, it is known in Wall Street,
put Hoover up to declaring the moratorium on war debts; Lamont
conferred with Hoover just before Hoover announced the extension of
time limits on New York bank credits to Germany. Lamont is
virtually ubiquitous in the American press. When the New York
newspapers, in editorial or news columns, allude to “prominent
banking opinion, impressions in financial circles” and “the
consensus among bankers,” they refer to Lamont. The newspaper
accounts, rewritten by the Associated Press and the United Press,
then blanket the country. But when newspapers refer to “a Conflict
of banking opinion,” or to “an alternative view held by other
well-posted financiers,” they mean only that Winthrop W. Aldrich at
the Chase Bank has taken issue with Lamont.”
Aldrich (The Pilgrims and
Harvard---not Yale graduate) was uncle to David and Nelson
Rockefeller (“PUS” or Pilgrims United States). Aldrich (1885-1974)
headed Chase National Bank, 1930-1953, when he became ambassador to
England and gave his speech to The Pilgrims London on March 19,
1953. Aldrich was a director of Westinghouse Electric; American
Telephone & Telegraph; International Paper; Discount Corporation of
New York and Metropolitan Life Insurance. Pilgrim Society world
financier Aldrich (below)---
Lundberg mentioned Dwight Morrow (born
1873) and Lamont being in near constant touch with the President, so
know this---Morrow was also a Pilgrim Society member. He was a
member of Simpson, Thatcher & Bartlett, another Society law firm and
was with J.P. Morgan & Company, 1914 through 1927 when he became
ambassador to Mexico. In 1919 he was awarded the Distinguished
Service Medal by General Pershing (very likely a member) for
“exceptionally meritorious and distinguished service” in connection
with military shipping matters and the Military Board of Allied
Supply. Anything high level having to do with war, The Pilgrims
will be strongly in the picture, and invisible to all but a few
outsiders! Morrow was a regent of the Smithsonian Institution; and
a trustee of the Commonwealth Fund, set up by the Harkness family of
Pilgrim Society members and Standard Oil heirs; of the Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace; Amherst College; Union
Theological Seminary; and the Russell Sage Foundation (named after a
railroad magnate and looter by that name, see previous article in
this series.) Morrow’s daughter Anne S. married Charles A.
Lindbergh, famous aviator who made the first solo nonstop
transatlantic flight from New York to Paris in 33 hours in May 1927.
But let’s take a brief look at Russell
Sage, a business associate of Jay Gould, since the foundation
bearing his name passed into the control of the Society. Myers in
“History of the Great American Fortunes,” pages 474-475 had this to
say---
“The one associate whom Gould could
not overreach or fleece was Sage. Sage hied himself to New York
early in the course of the Civil War. There in Wall Street was the
headquarters of many of the railroad corporations which had been
bribing and plundering. Whoever might be the actual physical
builders of the railroads, the owners were either Wall Street men or
kindred capitalists---men who by some species of fraud or
manipulation had pushed themselves into control. In New York was
the scene of the greatest activity in the current widespread
despoliation; from there radiated the plans and plots which resolved
themselves into colossal swindles. Had the center of this deviltry
been elsewhere, there Sage and all the others of the brood
indubitably would have flown. A money lender on a great scale Sage
became; he invented a special system of usury---the “put” and “call”
system, the intricacies of which we shall not attempt to describe.
Now could be seen what he was doing with the millions he was
extracting in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Ordinarily he would loan
money at high enough rates, but in times of panic and Wall Street
“squeezes” he demanded---and received---as much as sixty percent a
month. Friends or enemies, it did not matter; all alike had to pay
the enormous interest that he exacted if they desired a supply of
ready money which he always kept on hand and thus save themselves
from defaulting on contracts, and so going into bankruptcy. He was
one of that eminent constellation of patriots who hoarded gold when
it was most needed and refused to loan it except at the most
incredibly extortionate rates.”
Such are the connections of the J.P.
Morgan empire. Sage, who passed on in 1906, could have been a
charter member of The Pilgrims---he attained a fortune reckoned at
least $100 million---in pre-1913 dollars, before their Federal
Reserve started us on course for ruin. Another robber baron kingpin
whose fortune became linked to The Pilgrims was James J. Hill of the
Northern Pacific Railway. We find as of 1959, Pilgrim Society
member Arthur M. Anderson, member of the executive committee of J.P.
Morgan & Company on the board of “N.P. Ry,” meaning, Northern
Pacific. Anderson married Alice Mary Sloane in 1909, of a family
which appears related to other members including Jimmy Carter’s
Secretary of State, Cyrus Vance. According to Myers (page 683) in
“History of the Great American Fortunes” the Northern Pacific
Railroad, in which James J. Hill and Lord Strathcona (page 678) were
leading magnates, owned at least 57,000,000 acres of land, granted
in connection with the original chartering of that line in 1864.
Strathcona (below) was a founder of The Pilgrims in London in 1902
and British High Commissioner in Canada---
Northern Pacific stock rose from $58
to as high as $1,000 in 1901 (page 589) and paid a 629% dividend in
1908 (page 691). Hill (below) owned “immense” iron ore deposits in
Minnesota (page 681)---
Of such are the stunning ramifications
of the Morgan interests, now far more fearsome in the merger as
JPMorganChase, largest holder of derivatives in the world.
MIRRORS AND INVISIBLE PILGRIMS
Winthrop W. Aldrich, pictured above,
second generation Pilgrim Society member, was the feature of some
comments in “The Mirrors” book---
“There is no other American who was
fated to carry a heavier financial responsibility than Mr. Aldrich,
who appeared suddenly as a power among the bankers who had bartered
our national moral code for pots of gold. The greatest banking
amalgamation in American history was carried through successfully in
the spring of 1930 when John D. Rockefeller Jr. withdrew from the
Bankers Trust Company and merged the Chase National Bank with the
Equitable Trust. The sums involved were quite dazzling. If the
resources of these institutions were reckoned in gold, they would
represent about a third of the world’s visible supply.
As a result of the merger and subsequent developments, a good deal
of nonsense has been written about a Morgan-Rockefeller war for
control of the banking resources of America. While the Morgans and
the Rockefellers do not intermarry, neither do they fight each
other. They choose their targets with better judgment. In this
particular situation they worked to a common purpose. They exerted
some of their great power to strengthen the banking structure and
the commercial system, and to benefit themselves. Mr. Rockefeller
thereby concentrated his holdings under one roof and became the
dominant force in the greatest bank in the world. The
entire New York banking situation was stabilized by the gold and the
magic name of the Oil King.” (pages 116-117 & 120)
Winthrop W. Aldrich, son of Federal
Reserve activist Nelson Aldrich, became head of the merged
institution in 1930; or rather beginning a three year transition of
Chase National Bank being run by one Pilgrim Society member, Albert
H. Wiggin, to another member, who the unidentified author of “The
Mirrors of Wall Street” called “an uncanny genius---rich and
potent.” Wiggin was most adept in supplying funds to his
security dealer associates, who were enabled to manipulate pools
while they were sold out before the call money was withdrawn. In
retrospect Wiggin appears quite unbelievable. There was a prize
galaxy of seventy-two hand picked gentlemen on his board.” (pages
118, 126-127).
“Aldrich was a lawyer. He was
Rockefeller’s brother in law. Wealth and power were not new to
Aldrich; he had been accustomed to the atmosphere of both from the
cradle. There was a period of twenty years or so when his father’s
house might well have been ranked with the White House as a seat of
American power, not only financial but political. Nelson W. Aldrich
by the sheer force of his intellect was a dominant power in
national politics for a quarter of a century. There was
no question about who led the Senate in his prime. His family lived
in New England since early Colonial days, and they never lost their
Yankee sense of acquisition. Aldrich was the best informed man in
public life on fiscal as well as currency questions. His work laid
the foundation for the Federal Reserve Act. Winthrop did not have
to go to the Harvard Business School to find out about such
matters. As he came to maturity his father’s house was the
rendezvous for the best political and financial minds in the
country. In the home at Providence and the house at Washington,
he met the men who were directing politics and finance.
America offered no better training school for an intelligent mind.
His sister married John D. Rockefeller Jr.”
See---all those shadowy financiers and
their political hit-men, Pilgrim Society members, were running
America from behind a cloak of invisibility---just as they are now
in 2005. This must stop. Making people aware of the organization’s
existence, its purpose, and the collective power of its
members---for which no scale of measurement exists---is the way to
retake our country; along with influencing Congress in a better
direction. Take note! The Pilgrims, whose patrons are the British
Royal Family, the Crown of England, desire to reunite the United
States and Great Britain, presumably under Crown control---no more
need for an elected President here, though Mr. Bush is another
British collaborator. The Pilgrims, who exist to “seize the wealth
necessary” to carry out a plan which they reckoned at their
inception could require 200 years of behind the scenes manipulations
including depressions and wars---had their member, Senator Nelson
Aldrich, help put through the present Central Bank---successor to
the second Bank of the United States---also British
affiliated---then the son of this central banking Pilgrim Society
member becomes Ambassador to Great Britain---more specifically, to
“the Court of St. James,” meaning, the British Crown! Furthermore
note that Senator Aldrich was father in law to Pilgrim Society
member John D. Rockefeller Jr. of the Standard Oil billions! Truly
the big rich of this world are in league with the British Crown in
The Pilgrim Society! Large billboards should go up in dozens of big
cities announcing these facts! And your President is ALWAYS
a member! The Commander in Chief of this country’s military forces
is available for action, whenever these financiers and the Crown
want another war. YOUR SONS LIVES ARE EXPENDABLE FOR THE
SECRET SOCIETY! Pilgrim Society member George Wickersham,
mentioned above, assisted the banker warmongers in many plans before
and after World War I, and served as head of Selective Service for
New York district, September 1917 through August 1918 (Who’s Who,
1933, page 2447).
“Mr. Aldrich’s legal experience had
been devoted almost exclusively to corporate and financial
subjects. It was but natural that he should gravitate eventually
towards 26 Broadway, where with Thomas Debevoise among others, he
became a member of the Rockefeller cabinet. Again fortune favored
him and the experience of looking down upon the business world,
rather than looking up to it, from the most powerful office in
creation contributed to a clear and detached viewpoint. He
represented Rockefeller interests on various boards. When the
Equitable-Chase merger was announced, Mr. Aldrich moved into the
president’s office, but Mr. Wiggin remained as the nominal chairman
for almost three years. The situation was too delicate to make
drastic changes at once, and Mr. Wiggin was needed to help
disentangle the great web he had woven with Other People’s Money.
There was scarcely an important financial situation in the world
into which Mr. Wiggin had not managed to lead the bank or its
affiliate. Bolsheviki were dangerous people, but they were likely
to spend money. The Chase became their American bank. Profits were
profits.”
According to Lundberg in “America’s 60
Families,” pages 228-229---
“Percy Rockefeller was involved in
practically every National City foray of the 1920’s, including the
Krueger and Toll swindle. The Chase National Bank, largest
financial institution outside of London, performed similarly and was
the direct rival of the National City Bank for shady business. It
too operated an illegal securities affiliate, through which it
managed pools in its own stock and financed pools in other stocks.
Insiders among the bank’s officials and directors were given
preferred positions in stocks and bonds. Albert H. Wiggin, chairman
of the bank, used his personal family corporations to participate in
many of the big Wall Street pools financed by the bank and including
other bank officers. One pool traded in Sinclair Oil stock in 1928
and made a profit of more than $12,000,000. Wiggin engaged in
various market operations of great profit to himself and of great
loss to the bank’s minority stockholders. He sold stock of the bank
short, and by means of various family corporations, one incorporated
in Canada, evaded payment of Federal income taxes. Under his
headship the Chase National Bank played an evil role in Cuba, for
which the bank wanted to float a $100,000,000 loan on which it could
collect commission---despite the fact that its Cuban adviser said
conditions were “deplorable.” This loan was to finance the building
of a road which independent contractors said should cost only
$30,000,000. The Platt Amendment prohibited a Cuban loan, so Chase
snaked around this law to achieve its objective, which was simply to
get at the pockets of the Cuban people through the taxgathering
machinery of Cuba.”
Percy Avery Rockefeller (born 1878,
Yale Skull & Bones Society 1900, married Isabel Stillman of Pilgrim
Society National City Bank fortune 1901) was nephew to charter
Pilgrim Society member John D. Rockefeller of Standard Oil. Percy
was a director of over 50 big corporations, including National City
Bank; American International Corporation (now known as AIG, former
big silver short); New York Edison; Anaconda Copper Mines; Chile
Copper Company; Atlantic Fruit Company; Bethlehem Steel; W.A.
Harriman & Company; United States Realty & Improvement Company;
Western Union Telegraph; Consolidated Gas; United Metals Selling
Corporation; Remington Arms Company; North American Reassurance
Company; Seaboard Finance & Investment; Cuba Railroad and so on. He
was a member of the Japan Society as of 1926 (Who’s Who, page
1635-1636), forerunner to the Trilateral Commission, founded by
cousin David in 1973. Who’s Who in the East, 1957, page 160, shows
Pilgrim Society member Lewis Latham Clarke a vice president of the
Japan Society and director of many corporations including Shell Oil;
New York & Honduras Rosario Mining Company; Home Insurance Company
and treasurer of the subversive National Institute for Social
Sciences. According to Lundberg in “America’s 60 Families,” page
225, Percy Rockefeller caused the investing public a loss of some
$150,000,000 on Anaconda Copper share manipulation, apparently one
of many such raids staged by The Pilgrim Society against the middle
class in their ceaseless drive to reduce that class to feudal
serfdom on the British medieval model.
The 1977 Who’s Who, page 764 features
Eli Whitney Debevoise (born 1899, Yale 1921), son of Thomas
Debevoise (associate of Winthrop Aldrich) and Anne Whitney of the
Whitney branch of the Standard Oil fortune. Eli turns out to be in
The Pilgrims and became a trustee of Rockefeller University in
1954. He was a trustee of the William Nelson Cromwell Foundation,
after a high-powered attorney member of The Pilgrims, of another law
firm, Sullivan & Cromwell, to this day, extremely powerful in
international legal affairs, as is Debevoise, Plimpton, Lyons &
Gates---containing more Pilgrim Society members. Eli, a resident at
870 United Nations Plaza, was a director of the Bank of New York,
Saint Joe Minerals and Westvaco Corporation, controlled by Pilgrim
Society member David L. Luke Jr. Eli was a director of the
International Commission on Jurists and was a delegate to annual
meetings at Athens (1955); Lagos Nigeria (1961); Rio de Janeiro
Brazil (1962); Bangkok Thailand (1965); Geneva (1966); Stockholm
Sweden (1967); Strasburg Germany (1968) and Aspen (1971). In
1942-1945 he served as chairman of the Enemy Alien Hearing Board in
New York City. Eli’s son in law, Harold Harris Healy Jr., became a
partner in the law firm and member of The Pilgrims and member of the
advisory council to the Ditchley Foundation, another Pilgrim Society
sponsored British Empire front. Healy (Yale 1943) was a trustee of
Vassar College, 1977-1986 and was a member of the executive council
of the American Society for International Law, 1977-1980, which as
we saw before was founded by Pilgrim Society member Robert Lansing
in 1906.
But to return to the Aldrich family.
The 1969 Pilgrim list featured Hulbert Stratton Aldrich (born 1907)
and Malcolm Pratt Aldrich (born 1900), apparently cousins to
Winthrop Aldrich. Their mother, Jane Stratton Pratt, was from the
Pratt branch of the Standard Oil fortune. The Council on Foreign
Relations (CFR) in New York is housed in the Harold Pratt House on
68th Street. Another Stratton relation, Keith Stratton
McHugh (Pilgrims 1969) was a director of National City Bank; Carrier
Corporation; Dun & Bradstreet; Empire City Subway; American
Telephone & Telegraph; Carnegie Institution of Washington and
others. Malcolm was head of the Commonwealth Fund, another British
Empire front, founded by Standard Oil kingpin Edward
S. Harkness (born 1870) of The
Pilgrims, whose family fortune was estimated at $800 million in 1924
(“America’s 60 Families,” page 26). According to Lundberg in his
other book, “The Rich and the Super Rich” page 189--
“The Standard Oil branch of the
Harkness family was found to be among the twenty largest
stockholders in no fewer than 24 of the 200 largest companies,
apparently a record.”
The 1933 Who’s Who, page 1047 showed
Harkness married Mary Stillman in 1904, of the Stillman Pilgrim
Society family and power in New York banking (roots of today’s giant
Citigroup) and that Harkness was on the boards of Michigan Central
Railroad; New York Central Railroad; West Shore Railroad; C.,C.,C. &
St. Louis Railroad (apparently one of the “C’s” stood for Chicago);
P. & L.E. Railroad; and Southern Pacific Railroad. Hulbert Aldrich
was vice chairman of Chemical Bank, 1959-1972 and director of Ametek
Incorporated; IBM World Trade Corporation; Empire Savings Bank;
George W. Rogers Construction Corporation; Peter Paul Incorporated;
Commonwealth Fund; and Hill Samuel Group Limited, London, a leading
investment and merchant bank run by The Pilgrims of Great Britain.
In the 1974-1975 Who’s Who In Finance & Industry, page 871, we note
Richard Snow Vokey, possibly related to current U.S. Treasury
Secretary John Snow, as a member of The Pilgrims London and vice
chairman of Hill, Samuel & Company and member of the council of the
Ditchley Foundation, a British Crown front opposed to United States
sovereignty and definitely opposed to American wartime neutrality.
THE MIRRORS---MORE PILGRIMS
Pages 196-212 of that book describes
Walter Percy Chrysler of The Pilgrim Society (1871-1940, some
sources say 1875)---
“The Maxwell was one of the fairly
popular cars when the industry was in its infancy. It had not kept
pace with its competitors, and when Mr. Chrysler was seeking a
vehicle it was ready for the auction block. The property was owned
by the estate of Anthony Brady, one of the most remarkable financial
geniuses this country has developed. He died in 1913 and left
$84,000,000, which was assessed in pre-inflation days. Nicholas,
his eldest son, became head of the family and a potent figure in
Wall Street. Jim, the second son had a flair for speculation, and
is supposed at one time to have trebled his patrimony. Chrysler,
with some of the Brady millions, rebuilt the Maxwell. Within a year
he had an excellent car on the market. The name was a liability.
The company was reorganized and the Chalmers car was taken in. Then
came the question of a name for the new car. Chrysler offered his
own name; not only offered it but was extremely insistent that it be
used. Outside the automobile industry he was virtually unknown.
His name meant nothing to the public at large. He guaranteed to
remedy that weakness in a very short time. He kept his word.”
(pages 203-204)
You want to know about this Brady
family, whether they were or are Pilgrim Society members. I too
would like to know; gaps exists in my data due to unavailability of
full information. They certainly smell like members. Since they
are Yale graduates it must be assumed they are members of Skull &
Bones; Wolf’s Head; Scroll & Key; Book & Snake; or Berzelius
Society. And don’t forget that other important collegiate
counterparts exist, such as the Gargoyle Society of Williams
College. This is the same Brady family associated with the former
Dillon, Read & Company (to be looked at next) and also with the
family of both Presidents Bush! Nicholas F. Brady was with Dillon
Read from 1954-1982 when it became Warburg Dillon Read. He was
Treasury Secretary, 1988-1993 and is a strong suspect Pilgrim member
who got on such boards as Bessemer Securities; Wolverine World Wide;
Media General; NCR Corporation; Doubleday & Company and Georgia
International Corporation after leaving Treasury.
Continuing about Walter Chrysler,
pages 206 and 210---
“He merged the Dodge properties with
the Chrysler Company four years after he entered the field as an
independent. He was in the $500,000,000 class, with Ford and
General Motors his only peers. Chrysler’s financial associates, the
Bradys, were extremely active in Wall Street as the golden wheel on
the Stock Exchange fell behind the ticker. They were supposed to
have netted $20,000,000 or so on their Chrysler operations.
Chrysler joined the pools in which they and their friends, Jules
Bache and many of the great of the last decade, were so successful.
He would become a great financier as well as an industrialist.”
Walter P. Chrysler owned 7 yachts
(page 436, “America’s 60 Families”), making him look small upside
the 50 or more “mostly large” owned by the Vanderbilts (page 436)
who supported both political parties (page 486). Chrysler
nevertheless belonged to “the top circle of wealth” (page 29).
Jules Bache was mentioned; another
known member of The Pilgrims! According to the 1927 Who’s Who, page
197, Bache was born in 1861. By 1892 he was head of Bache &
Company, investment dealers. President and treasurer of Dome Mines
Limited (now known as Placer Dome), he was a director of Chrysler;
Lake Superior Railroad; Louisiana Oil Refining; Tennessee Copper &
Chemical; Southern Agricultural Company; U.S. Industrial Alcohol
Company; New River Collieries; Cuba Distilling; American Indemnity;
Anniston City Land; New Amsterdam Casualty; Ann Arbor Railroad;
Empire Trust Company and others. Chairman of the Bache Group when
the Hunt brothers (NOT members) were sold down the river by the
silver shorts of the Federal Reserve, Silver Users Association, the
big banks, and The Pilgrim Society in general, was John Ethelbert
Leslie of The Pilgrims, another one-world activist who was a
governor of the United Nations Association, director of the Foreign
Policy Association, director of the France-America Society, trustee
of the Institute for International Education, and recipient of
decorations from Portugal, France, Austria and West Germany. Leslie
(below) whose firm made money as the Hunts tumbled---
Chrysler Corporation over the decades
has had a number of identified Pilgrim Society members connected to
it, including Lynn Alfred Townsend (The Pilgrims 1969) who became
president of Chrysler in 1961; Louis Bancel Warren (Who’s Who, 1967,
page 2236), director of Chrysler; trustee of the Homeland
Foundation; director, English Speaking Union and president, American
Ditchley Foundation; and Joseph Richardson Dilworth (Yale 1938,
seems like I saw him in Skull & Bones Society somewhere). The 1975
Who’s Who, page 803 had Dilworth as chairman of Rockefeller Center;
with Rockefeller Family & Associates since 1958; director Chase
Manhattan Bank; International Basic Economy Corporation (which
according to William Hoffman in “David—Report On A Rockefeller,
1972, page 240, destroyed independent dairy farmers in Venezuela,
then jacked up milk prices to almost 50% higher than in the United
States---another in a long list of examples of The Pilgrim Society
destroying the middle class); Dilworth was also a director of
Selected Risk Investments; R.H. Macy; Squibb Pharmaceuticals; Omega
Fund; and Diamond Shamrock Corporation and a trustee of both Yale
University and Rockefeller University. The Rockefellers remain very
“oily” since the old Standard Oil days, as David himself was
identified as a “major shareholder” in both Atlantic Richfield
Petroleum (page 182) and International Petroleum Corporation, a
napalm manufacturer (page 156). Burn, little people, burn! And let
The Pilgrim Society, of whose very existence you know not, absorb
your wealth! Dilworth (below)---
The Dilworth Professorship of British
History was established at Yale University in 1982. It would be
amusing to know what that department has to say about the British
Opium trade in China, the looting of India and South Africa, and the
subversive influence of the British-American Pilgrim Society in
wiping out the middle class in the United States.
THE MIRRORS ON DILLON READ & COMPANY
Pages 180-193 featured a discussion of
Clarence Dillon, Pilgrim Society member called by Business Week,
July 12, 1976, page 48---
“The brilliant financier of the 1920s
who created such companies as National Cash Register (now NCR) and
bought Dodge Brothers in a dazzling coup, who saved Goodyear from
bankruptcy.”
Purchase price for Dodge was $146
million cash. We read on pages 183-185---
“The ease with which he analyzed the
involved financial problems presented to him and the alacrity with
which he out-generaled the local nabobs of finance became the source
of his greatest pleasure and amusement. He read and remembered the
history of money and money changers. He became familiar with the
methods used by the masters of money; the Rothschilds; the Morgans.
The precious secrets and mysteries of finance he found, when
analyzed, were absurdly simple. When Milwaukee offered no further
field, he moved to New York straight to the office of W.A. Read and
Company. The firm had background. It had much background. It had
more background than initiative or imagination. It was an ideal
situation for the operations of the genius of Mr. Dillon. It
supplied exactly what he needed. It was to Dillon what the missing
fulcrum might have been to another famed character. Better still,
the door was ajar.”
“For half a century or more the
company had been members of that inner circle which acted as
associates in distributing the better grades of government, railroad
and municipal securities---bonds and debentures. It had done a
highly lucrative business. Its clientele was of a permanent
character. Folks with money to invest were accustomed to take the
issues recommended by the firm, certain of their value. Its selling
force was limited. It had no branches. It had never aspired to
leadership; it had accepted its share from the syndicate managers
and been content. Dillon’s mental operations attracted the aging
Mr. Read, and several of his suggestions led to extremely successful
ventures. Nothing could disturb his equanimity. His brain appeared
to have crystal qualities. It was clear and tranquil when others
gave way to emotion. As time went on he appeared to take from the
clear air an uncanny knowledge of the doings in the financial world
generally and to know as much about properties and values and
prospects underlying securities as did the houses of issue. It
appeared to his associates that the casual Dillon had an eighth or
ninth sense. He developed an unusual sense, it is true; the sense
to spend his waking hours completing his education, by analyzing
financial developments and watching the great men of the Street. He
took nothing for granted, nothing on hearsay. He studied them.”
Pages 186-187 comment on the rise of
Clarence Dillon on Wall Street---
“The same day that Mr. Read gave
Dillon a partnership Mr. Read was stricken with a fatal illness.
Kismet was attending Dillon. The firm that day entered upon a new
era, with the traditions and the name of fifty years as Dillon’s
added asset. Dillon found himself a free agent in planning the
future. He was not beholden to the grand moguls of the Street; he
would continue as a nonconformist. He had no illusions concerning
the methods of the market. His business was to sell securities; he
knew how others had disposed of great blocks of stocks. He had
scraped the veneer from some of these, and he was not at all
favorably impressed with what he found so frequently sold under the
most impressive labels.”
“America dabbled in stocks. It had
not yet become bond minded. Its education was about to be started.
It was the most expensive education a nation ever paid
for. The nonconformist, still in his thirties, was to teach the
amateurs the psychology of wholesaling securities. Accordingly,
Dillon built up his selling organization. The armistice threw out
of gear the financial arrangements of many over-extended
manufacturing organizations. They had to be reorganized and
refinanced. Dillon’s first great coup resulted from finding money
for the Goodyear Rubber Company. The transaction ran into a hundred
million or so. It was unprecedented considering its magnitude, to
the extent that it was consummated without the assistance or
consultation of J.P. Morgan and Company or any of their principal
associates.”
“W.A. Read and Company became talked
of as one of the major factors in finance. The
consequent advertising attracted borrowers from two hemispheres.
One great issue followed another. The firm was accepted as a
power. Dillon employed a respectable name and the power of
Other People’s Money to force his way to recognition. It would
require a mind accustomed to higher mathematics to evaluate the
financial activities of the firm during the next ten years; the
period when America was living in the never-never land. During this
Peter Pan epoch Dillon never lost his poise. He handled more
money than did old J.P. Morgan did in any similar period of
his career.”
Pages 187-189 describe Dillon entering
South American finance---
“He discovered Latin America as a
great repository for the earnings of American investors. That
statement must be modified. Others discovered it in a preceding
generation and they tried very hard to forget. It had been so
expensive. But the curse had been taken off, temporarily at least,
in the public mind by the spiritual union which President Wilson
offered the mestizos from the Rio Grande to Puentas Arenas. It is
true that no banker in New York would have taken a chance in the
second decade of the century by offering the public Latin American
issues, excepting those of one or two countries, but as the third
decade opened America had learned all about bonds. Mr. McAdoo sent
thousands of young men into the highways and byways of the country
explaining to timid souls that Liberty Bonds were the best
investment the world had ever seen. Many did not know exactly what
bonds were but they took the government’s word for it and the man or
woman who did not have a bond or two was a bit ashamed.”
McAdoo was assistant Secretary of the
Treasury.
“Since a bond was a bond, the American
public was swift to realize that one paying eight percent should be
preferred to one paying only half that much. What could be
simpler! A flood of high yield securities from many banking houses
satisfied this new enthusiasm. Brazil was a bigger country than the
United States. The surface had never been scraped. It was so rich
it was oozing gold. Dillon tested the market with $25,000,000 of
Brazilian eights. They were as popular as Brazil nuts. The firm
collected in commissions $467,125 from this issue. That was in
June. In September Brazil could use some more money. So Dillon’s
firm collected $879,843 for negotiating another $25,000,000. In
October the city of Rio de Janeiro found it could use some American
gold; so Dillon arranged a $12,000,000 loan, for which he collected
$369,695.”
$1,346,968 in commissions hardly makes
a man a Pilgrim Society member; but bear in mind, these were only
two of at least hundreds of deals Dillon made! Pages 189-191---
“Dillon’s great Latin American success
prompted others, and soon there was the most active competition
among New York bankers to induce the various countries to accept
American gold. Brazil was unable to keep all Dillon’s young men
busy despite the fact that he placed about $100 million more in the
country. He tried out Bolivia. Most people could not describe its
boundaries, but it was a wonderful country full of tin and things.
Dillon accommodated the American public which was crying for
Bolivians with a small issue---only $14,000,000, for which he
collected $503,219 in commissions. He gave them some
more---$23,000,000, and only collected $255,000 for the service.
Altogether Dillon handled $209,359,000 of Latin American issues, but
he was merely the pathfinder for others who rolled this figure into
billions. Of course the Latin American issues represented the
activities of only one department of the firm. In all it originated
approximately $1,500,000,000 in foreign issues, and other billions
in American securities. Dillon’s shrewd prevision is apparent in
the fact that, while speculation went up and up during the four
years preceding the crash, the issue operations of his firm were on
a steadily declining scale.”
“Its largest single transaction was
represented in the purchase of the Dodge automobile business for
$146,000,000, in close competition with J.P. Morgan and Company.
After selling the securities of Dodge Brothers to an eager public,
Dillon, Read & Company, in addition to the large bankers profits
involved, retained, with affiliated interests, a majority of the
Class B common stock, in which the sole voting rights were vested,
“to assure an independent and effective management of the
Corporation’s affairs.” When the Dodge stock was later exchanged
for stock of Chrysler Corporation, Chrysler stock was fought for at
around $140 a share. In due course the firm name changed to Dillon,
Read & Company, and great banks like the Chase National were
flattered to have Dillon grace their directorate.”
Pages 192-193 we find these
statements---
“Dillon is charmingly lackadaisical.
He disposes of a transaction involving $100,000,000 with the wave of
his arm. The reporters leave with a beautiful picture in their
minds of this genius who accomplishes the most astonishing results
without the slightest effort.”
Dillon’s son, second-generation
Pilgrim Society member Clarence Douglas Dillon (born 1909), also
became a Chase director and got on the board of American Telephone &
Telegraph. Both Dillons were Harvard—not Yale—graduates; another
instance proving that Yale is certainly not “the sole source of
powerful men in America!” “The Rich and the Super Rich,” page 36,
gave Dillon’s worth as around $200 million in 1957. But not all
such assets are visible to a researcher! “America’s 60 Families,”
page 34, listed Dillon, Read & Company as the fifth most important
investment banking house in the country, after J.P. Morgan &
Company; Kuhn Loeb & Company; Brown Brothers Harriman & Company; and
Lehman Brothers---all Pilgrim Society banks. Goldman, Sachs &
Company was listed ninth, but that was in 1937, whereas today it
doubtless commands a higher ranking. According to page 238 of that
book, Dillon, Read & Company was part of a syndicate that marketed
the Krueger and Toll bonds, both based on frauds and swindles, “which
occasioned tremendous losses to the American investing public.”
Just like Albert Wiggin, Percy Rockefeller and many, many other
Pilgrim Society members of that day and since, the members of the
Society are fanatically devoted to destroying the middle class by
tricking them out of their life savings! That’s part of how they
“absorb the wealth of the world.”
Business Week, July 12, 1976 ran an
article on Dillon, Read & Company on pages 45-49 and did its solemn
duty to make no mention of The Pilgrim Society! Page 48 mentioned
Clarence Douglas Dillon being the owner of “France’s famous Haut-Brion
vineyards.” According to Who’s Who, 1975, his daughter became
Princess Joan de Luxembourg, long known as a counterpart to
Switzerland for secretive financial dealings. Dillon himself was
born in Geneva in 1909. Dillon was a director of United States &
Foreign Securities Corporation and United States & International
Securities Corporation, 1937-1953, and again starting in 1971, after
his term as Treasury Secretary, 1961-1965 ended. This was the
Pilgrim Society member who, along with another Pilgrim Society
member, Robert Vincent Roosa---a Rhodes Scholar, under secretary of
the Treasury---took America off silver coins to help the Silver
Users Association; and more importantly, to help the paper money
crowd, for whom they served as representatives. Both Dillon and
Roosa were directors of the Pilgrim Society front known as the
Council on Foreign Relations, through which the Society currently
extends influence with some 4,200 highly placed “termites!”
One of the directors of U.S. & Foreign
Securities Corporation and U.S. & International Securities
Corporation as of 1947 was Professor of Economics at Princeton
University, Edwin Kemmerer (CFR). The Commercial & Financial
Chronicle, January 1, 1938, page 45, reported that Kemmerer was one
of a group of “more than 60” economists who signed a resolution at a
“summit” against silver coinage. The American Economic Association,
a gang of ruffians doing dirty work for the paper money mob,
sponsored that meeting. He became president of the Economists
National Committee on Monetary Policy in 1937. Page 2447 of the
1961 Who’s Who shows Pilgrim Society member Leland Rex Robinson as
vice chairman of the Economists National Committee on Monetary
Policy and a member of the virulently subversive Commission To Study
The Organization Of Peace. He was a member of the Enemy Alien
Hearing Board, 1943-1945; had served as chairman of the Iran
Foundation and was its vice president; received the Royal Order of
Homayun from the Shah of Iran, a Pilgrim Society puppet, in 1957;
was decorated the Order of the Brilliant Star of China; and authored
“Economic and Spiritual Forces in the Development of the United
States” (1925). From all I’ve seen The Pilgrims economic forces
consist of fake “created” money that they force on the world, and as
for their spiritual forces---thoroughly devilish! Not content to be
associated with one nest of Pilgrim Society members, Kemmerer was
also a director of Dividend Shares and other mutual funds run from 1
Wall Street by Calvin Bullock, whose son Hugh (Order of the British
Empire) became president of The Pilgrims U.S. in 1955.
Dillon was ambassador to France,
1953-1957; undersecretary of State, 1958-1961; and chaired the
Brookings Institution starting in 1970, an important Washington,
D.C. based think-tank which, among other things, opposes silver as
money; Jeffrey Greenberg of ex silver-short AIG has recently been a
Brookings trustee. As of the 1981 Who’s Who, page 2820, Roosa was
chairman of the Brookings Institution. Roosa got his start in
perverted Pilgrim Society finance with the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York, 1946-1960, after which he was fed into the Treasury
position. After that stint he authored “Monetary Reform For The
World Economy” (1965) by which it may very reasonably be inferred
that reform consists in The Pilgrims seizing additional wealth from
the middle class and nonallied rich! Also in 1965 Roosa became a
partner in Brown Brothers, Harriman & Company at 59 Wall Street,
another Pilgrim Society institution and became advisor to the
International Finance Corporation and director of American Express;
Owens-Corning Fiberglass; Prudential Insurance; Council on Foreign
Relations; and Texaco. Roosa was chairman of the New York Stock
Exchange Advisory Committee on the International Capital Market, and
a trustee of the National Bureau for Economic Research, also
anti-silver, an organization with which Pilgrim Society member
Arthur F. Burns, once chairman of the Federal Reserve System, was
also associated. Roosa was a member of other anti-silver
organizations including the American Finance Association (president
in 1967); American Economic Association and the Royal Economic
Society of London, home of central banking frauds! Page 49 of the
Business Week article said London became “the principal center for
handling most of Dillon Read’s international business.”
Roosa was a governor of the United
Nations Association and became vice chairman of the Rockefeller
Foundation; Douglas Dillon became its chairman in 1972. According
to Lundberg in “The Rich And The Super Rich,” page 428, on
foundations---
“Extraordinarily valuable properties
are often carried on the books at $1.”
Anti-silver Pilgrim Society member
Douglas Dillon (below)---
Page 45 of the Business Week article
from 1976 started out---
“Ever since the 1920s, when the
financial wizardry of Clarence Dillon turned the firm into a potent
rival of the House of Morgan, Dillon, Read & Co. has stood for the
crème de la crème of investment banking. Last year Dillon Read
served notice to the rest of Wall Street that it won Adolph Coors
Co., the most coveted new account in years, and followed up by
becoming the adviser to Volkswagen in its thrust into U.S.
manufacturing. Dillon Read has managed such difficult projects as
the tender fight for Aztec Oil & Gas Co. on behalf of Southland
Royalty Co., a $610 million private placement for the New York State
Power Authority, and the purchase of Burmah Oil properties for R.J.
Reynolds Industries.”
“In addition, Dillon Read is involved
in a huge array of international energy deals---the $1.5 billion
Northern Border Group Project, which is the U.S. end of the Canadian
Arctic gas pipeline; a tanker financing in Germany for Ashland oil;
submersible oil rigs in the Caspian Sea; Belgian oil and gas
projects in Algeria; coal gasification in South Africa; nuclear
development in Spain; a uranium enrichment venture for Electro-Nucleonics
and even a plan to turn cow manure, which can be defined as highly
concentrated energy, into natural gas. Some people at DR refer to
this venture as “the meadow muffin project.”
“Underwritings have ballooned.
Private placements alone, totaling $785 million in 1973, have
already passed $1.4 billion in the first five months of this year,
second only to those of First Boston Corp. In many respects, Brady
cuts an unusual figure in investment banking. Scion of an
Irish-American family whose wealth and social position antedate the
Kennedys by several generations, Brady comes from a world seemingly
too moneyed. In recent years Paul A. Cameron, president of
Purolator Inc., a Brady family company, has interested Brady in
stock cars. The point is not entirely the roar of the engines and
the smell of gasoline. Purolator and Union Oil of California field
top racing teams, and the Winston cigarette circuit is sponsored by
R.J. Reynolds Industries. All three companies are Brady clients.”
The reason I placed in bold letters
about the Caspian Sea oil rigs is to illustrate that for many years
The Pilgrim Society has had its greedy eyes on the petroleum
resources of the Caspian Sea---directly north of Iran---and is a
prime motivation for invasion of Iran, along with the 131 billion
barrels of oil under Iranian soil, huge natural gas deposits, and
large scale copper sites, plus one world class silver deposit
containing some 300 million ounces or more; and gold.
Page 46 mentions the Phipps family
interests connected to Dillon Read & Company; page 48 mentions the
Phipps controlled Bessemer Securities Corporation, then a $2 billion
private entity. The Phippses, whose fortune derived in part from
Carnegie Steel, also moved into radio chains, and are another
Pilgrim Society family. Henry Phipps was a charter member of The
Pilgrims New York in 1903. Alastair Bradley Martin appeared in the
1981 Who’s Who, page 2159 with his mother as Helen Phipps. Alastair
was a director of Bessemer Securities Corporation and president of
Regional Broadcasters Group. Also on page 46 we note Dillon Read
had other clients including American Standard; Esmark; Neptune
International; Pittston; Champion International; American Metal
Climax and Gulf Oil, a Mellon property. We find additionally on
page 46 that Dillon Read had connections with the Mellons,
Rockefellers (we already saw that item) and the Du Ponts (Silver
Users Association!) Second generation Pilgrim Society member Paul
Mellon’s photo appeared on page 48 of the article. Sonatrach, the
Algerian state oil and gas agency, was another Dillon Read client
(page 49).
Wasn’t it a sweetheart arrangement
that Dillon Read & Company was connected to the Du Ponts, and that
Douglas Dillon, as Treasury Secretary, spearheaded the ending of
United States silver coins to add supply for the users, and hold
prices low for them? We read on page 46---
“The family money goes back four
generations to Anthony Nicholas Brady, a refugee from the Irish
potato famines of the mid-1800s, who teamed up with an inventor
friend of Thomas A. Edison and amassed $100 million in electric
utilities around Albany and Brooklyn, New York---companies that
contributed to the formation of Consolidated Edison Co. James Cox
Brady, Nick’s grandfather, accumulated farms in New Jersey and made
another killing---He created Maxwell Motor Co., later absorbed into
Chrysler Corp.”
Page 47 continued with Dillon Read &
Company laurels---
“His first real deal, at age 30, was
in the Brady tradition---backing a crazy inventor. He and Richard
Scudder of the Newark Evening News came across a scheme to recycle
newsprint. “If there’s something I really enjoy, it’s conventional
wisdom that is wrong,” says Brady. “Every major paper company said
it couldn’t be done. They kept warning us that there were all kinds
of nuts all over the landscape with recycling schemes and that none
of them would work.” After watching the inventor put a newspaper
through a Waring blender, Brady raised $2 million, most of it from
the Phippses, then borrowed six times that from Prudential and
started Garden State Paper Co. The company boomed, and several
recycling plants later he merged it into Media General Inc., of
which he is now a director.”
“That was the deal that prompted Ogden
Phipps to invite Brady onto Bessemer’s board. Several years later,
Phipps, who had been chairman of the Jockey Club for a decade, was
so impressed by Brady’s business acumen that he sponsored Brady as
his successor. Brady was reluctant. Not only was he worried about
spreading himself too thin, but he was less interested in horses
than his father was. But Phipps, along with Paul Mellon, put on the
heat. Recalls Mellon with a chuckle, “Nick said, tell me, Mr.
Mellon what is the Jockey Club? Just what does it do?” Brady came
to Dillon Read directly from Harvard Business School in 1954,
perhaps partly because of a family connection---Hamilton Farms wraps
around the Dillon estate the way a fielder’s mitt envelops a
baseball. “His father was a very good friend of mine, says C.
Douglas Dillon, Clarence Dillon’s son. “Nick had enough private
means so that he didn’t have to work as hard as he did.”
“If the Brady family had something in
common with the firm of Dillon Read, it may have been the temptation
to live off the past because that past was so illustrious. In the
1920s Clarence Dillon set Wall Street on its ear by reorganizing
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., by creating National Cash Register, and
by purchasing Dodge Brothers for $146 million cash, creating such
companies as Amerada Petroleum and Louisiana Land. By the late
1940s the firm seemed to be a step ahead of everybody. It moved
into foreign financings, especially for Japan, right after World War
II. It bought up government surplus and formed such companies as
Texas Eastern Transmission and Reynolds Metals, and it masterminded
the first tender offer by a U.S. company for a foreign
one---Texaco’s purchase of Deutsche Erdol.”
Page 48 continued---
“At Dillon Read, Brady learned the
ropes from two of Wall Street’s most brilliant postwar
bankers---German born Frederic H. Brandi, whose forte was ingenious
deals, top European connections, and oil, and who is best known for
inventing the production payment system of oil financing and for
outmaneuvering Howard Hughes in the 1960 fight to force Hughes’ vast
Trans World Airlines holdings into a voting trust; and 67 year old
August Belmont IV, who made himself an expert on natural gas and put
together such companies as Texas Eastern Transmission and Tennessee
Gas Transmission (now Tenneco). Brandi still keeps his hand in as
chairman of the big gold trust, ASA Ltd.”
ASA stood for American South African,
a closed end fund that owned huge numbers of gold, platinum and
diamond mining shares. The original August Belmont, associated with
the Northern side of the Civil War, was a funding source fronting
for the Rothschilds. Was his descendant a member of the Society?
Information remains very incomplete. Brandi, however, appeared in
the leaked 1969 list. The 1975 Who’s Who, page 352, mentions
nothing of The Pilgrims---another “invisible” member, as most
unfortunately are! He was also a director of National Cash
Register; CIT Financial Corporation; Farbwerke Hoescht A.G., a huge
German conglomerate; Colgate Palmolive; Falconbridge Nickel Mines;
and Inmont Corporation.
Brandi, called “a superstar banker”
by Business Week (page 47), was partner to Pilgrim Society member
David Rockefeller in wresting control of Trans World Airlines away
from nonmember Howard Hughes! Pages 137-140 of “David---Report On A
Rockefeller” (1972) told the story---
“An example of the power of David and
the Chase Manhattan Bank, and one of the reasons Chase through its
combined trust departments has the controlling interest in Trans
World Airlines, occurred in 1960 and involved Howard Hughes. Hughes
is actually far down the totem pole where power is concerned, had to
have money---lots of it---to purchase the jet planes TWA needed to
keep pace with its competitors. Hughes had acquired control of TWA
when it was a small, struggling operation, and the tremendous growth
of the airline industry during the postwar period turned it into a
major corporation. Nonetheless, the Bashful Billionaire didn’t have
the kind of ready cash that was required to purchase a fleet of jet
aircraft, so he sent his agents, their hats in hand, to see the big
New York bankers, including David. Also to be visited were the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, which has a board member who
sits on the board of directors of Chase Manhattan Bank, and the
Equitable Life Assurance, which has four members of its august board
on the board of Chase.”
“Sure, said the banks and insurance
companies, including Metropolitan and Equitable, they would be happy
to lend Howard the several hundred million dollars he needed. On
one condition---that if an “adverse development” occurred Hughes
would have ninety days to remedy the situation or lose his voting
rights in TWA. Predictably, an “adverse development” did crop up,
and soon Howard Hughes, even though he owned 78.23 percent of the
stock in TWA, was forbidden from voting his shareholdings and was
ousted from the company’s management. In addition, the lenders took
over control of TWA’s board of directors. The loan Hughes had taken
did provide however, that he could regain control of TWA when he
repaid what he borrowed. At that time, presumably, he could vote
the bankers and the insurance people off the board of directors.”
“Howard Hughes was out of his
league. He was dealing with the cleverest financial sharks of all
time. Soon they designed a method to get rid of him altogether.
Biographer Albert Gerber explained the plan---“Since Hughes Tool
Company had supplied airplanes and financing to TWA, it had
prevented outsiders from coming in to supply those commodities.
This action violated both statutory antitrust laws and the common
law duty between the parent and a subsidiary where the subsidiary
has minority interest.”
“Since the lawsuit was filed not by
the government, but by TWA, Hughes found himself in the interesting
position of being sued by a company in which he owned 78.23 percent
of the stock! The New Yorkers demanded complete divestiture of all
TWA stock held by Hughes and the Hughes Tool Company. Hughes had
said, “I’ll never give up TWA,” but he was forced to do precisely
that. He realized $436,000,000 after taxes from the sale, but the
powerful New Yorkers weren’t satisfied with just having control of
the airline. They continued a suit they brought against Hughes for
alleged mismanagement when he had been in control of TWA (even if he
had been guilty, he was mainly mismanaging his own funds), and the
courts made Hughes cough up an additional $160,000,000. David and
his pals probably could have broken Hughes altogether, but they
chose to show mercy. TWA’s prospects had immediately brightened
under their management. In 1961 TWA stock was selling for less than
$10 a share, but by 1966 it was up to almost $100; the government
awarded TWA new routes; TWA had taken over the Hilton Hotels
international operations; TWA had taken over management of
Ethiopian, Saudi Arabian, and British West Indian airlines; most
important, TWA found credit much easier to come by.”
“A 1969 Chase Manhattan brochure
boasts that their financing helped develop and build the 747
airliners, and that Chase money was helping carriers acquire the new
374 passenger super jets. Actually, Chase had little cause to
boast. The bank was simply helping companies they already
controlled to get richer. It might have been illegal for Hughes
Tool Company to lend money to TWA, but according to the law there is
nothing whatever wrong with Chase Manhattan Bank doing the same
thing.”
Now you see why there are many
powerful attorneys in The Pilgrims; and why the monopolistic
intermarried rich are so involved on Capitol Hill influencing
Congress! They sincerely hope the rest of us are mesmerized by
professional sports and meaningless TV talk shows like Oprah
Winfrey! Just after these Pilgrim Society members took control of
Trans World Airlines from Howard Hughes---definitely not a
member---and raided his personal wealth to the extent of $160
million---plus the loss of the nearly tenfold increase in the share
price---they installed Charles C. Tillinghast Jr. as president and
chief executive officer of TWA in 1961. Tillinghast appeared in the
1969 list of The Pilgrims! He became chancellor of Brown
University, Providence, Rhode Island in 1968 and was a director of
Seaboard Surety Company (Rockefeller controlled) and Merck &
Company, the big pharmaceutical corporation recently in the news due
to many deaths attributed to its arthritis drug, Vioxx.
Here’s where we start wrapping up this
installment in this series. But know that the Howard Hughes Medical
Research Institute, with an endowment of some $12.9 billion as of
2004 (“60 Minutes”) is controlled by Pilgrim Society member James
Baker III, former Secretary of State. The Pilgrim Society plan for
the final destruction of the middle class resides in the fact of the
so-called “graying” of America (the advancing average age, the fact
that more Americans are passing retirement age). Cures exist
already, I am convinced, for chronic disease such as arthritis.
(Cartilage has been regrown in the joints of goats!) These will not
be released, however, until we are bled dry for pharmaceutical
expenses. As these deadly drugs cause side effects, those effects
will be “treated” with other drugs which in turn will yield other
bad effects. Doctors involved in gouging the public with drug
prescriptions and highly questionable surgeries will, in turn, be
led by Pilgrim Society plans into investments strategized to strip
them of their wealth as well. We will all become serfs to The
Pilgrim Society World Corporation 666! When cures are released, the
prices will be such as to drain people of every vestige of wealth
they have left!
Remember the opener to this series?
Here it is again!
On November 24, 1980, the Associated
Press quoted Leonard Bernstein, a globally prominent musical
conductor, as saying in reference to the Kennedy assassination, “We
don’t dare confront the implications. I think we’re all agreed
there was a conspiracy and we don’t want to know. It
involves such a powerful high force in
what we call the high places, if we do know,
everything might fall apart.”
On page 198 of the 2002 Pilgrims
London book, I see that The Pilgrims of Great Britain entertained
Leonard Bernstein on February 25, 1970. Obviously he knew whereof
he spoke ten years before!
Upon the passing of Douglas Dillon in
2003, Lawrence Summers, president of Harvard University and
ex-Treasury Secretary, a very anti-gold operator, said---
“This university and our nation owe
much to Douglas Dillon.”
Actually only the elitists in America
owe anything to mega-thief Douglas Dillon. Is Summers a member?
Probably so! Can you get an authentic membership list for any year
since 2000 and collect the $1,000 reward I offered last month?
There was a Basil Charles Lawrence Summers listed in The Pilgrims of
Great Britain circa 1969. Related to Lawrence---perhaps so.
The Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee
is currently attempting communication with the Treasury Department
to determine if there is intent to seize all physical gold and
silver and mining related shares from investors. After seeing the
Treasury as a high level outpost for The Pilgrim Society, which
exists “to seize the wealth necessary; to gradually absorb the
wealth of the world,” I tell you very gravely, dear friends---BEWARE
THE WORLD MONEY POWER---THE SUPERSECRET PILGRIM SOCIETY!
