= PILGRIMS! If this is your first read on this organization,
I suggest you obtain the introductory background first by reading
the December 2004 item in the Archives. (For the rest of you, take
note---silver and silver mining will be mentioned around 50 times).
If you have followed the series to date, I have other disturbing
case material with which to inform you. There is a boatload of
fascinating material I hope to acquaint you with. And you should be
fiercely interested in this Society---the rich families behind
central banking---because they are interested in you, to your great
detriment! And they do not wish their identities known; else they’d
release a membership list. A movie quote (“They Live” 1988)---
“We could be
pets, we could be food, but all we really are is livestock!”
The Pilgrims
could protest, if they chose to, that I class them as a secret
society. Actually they don’t meet the criteria for that definition
by every measure that exists. No elitist organization appears to
meet that standard, but these things are a matter of relative
basis. When not one person in 10,000 has ever heard of an
organization that dominates their destiny, it’s secret. The
Pilgrims do fulfill the definition of secret society by the most
important test which is, as I say, they refuse to release a roster.
Some will say, why should a private organization have to release a
membership list? Do we demand the local Rotary Club or Lions Club
to release members’ names? The difference is one of degree. Since
we’ve already seen that the President, Secretary of State, and
Ambassador to Great Britain are always “honorary” members; and that
this fact fails to appear in any known textbook on government or
political science---this is sufficient to need to know who all the
members are. These are far from ordinary people. They are those
who can and do powerfully influence events at the highest levels.
Exactly with
which globalist financiers, warmongers and international cartelists
do our highest officials run with? Additionally, I have noted that
over the decades, numerous Ambassadors to many different nations
have been members; also Generals; Admirals; Senators; Congressmen;
Treasury Secretaries; Federal Reserve officials and so forth. Since
these men are in control (presently) of our national destiny, it is
urgently necessary to know who they all are. As a few examples, if
a list were accessed, names likely to be encountered would include
representatives of the traditional big rich---Rockefeller; Mellon;
Du Pont; Whitney; Vanderbilt; Harriman; Pyne; Pitcairn; Pew; Phipps;
Pratt; Harkness; Aldrich; Weyerhaeuser; Duke; Reynolds; Cullman;
Dorrance; Schiff; Folger; Field; Fisher; Flagler; Roosevelt;
Guggenheim; Gould; McCormick; Berwind; Lehman; Stillman; Baker;
Livingston; and others. Top executives and directors of Citigroup;
JPMorganChase; BankAmerica; Bank of New York; Wells Fargo; Mellon
Bank; American Express; Merrill Lynch; Depository Trust & Clearing
Corporation (oversees electronic exchange of shares); Goldman Sachs;
Morgan Stanley; Lehman Brothers; Prudential Financial; Aetna; New
York Life; IBM; Exxon Mobil; Chevron Texaco; Conoco Phillips;
Schlumberger; Halliburton; Duke Energy; El Paso Corporation; Bechtel
Corporation; Alcoa; Newmont Mining; Phelps-Dodge; Microsoft; General
Electric; General Motors; Ford; Goodyear; Du Pont; Dow Chemical;
Eastman Kodak; Union Pacific; Wal-Mart; Coca-Cola; Philip Morris;
Procter & Gamble; Unilever Bestfoods; Berkshire Hathaway; Washington
Post; New York Times; Tribune Company; Time Warner; Verizon
Communications; Johnson & Johnson; Pfizer; Eli Lilly; Warner
Lambert; Merck & Company; Bristol Myers Squibb; Astra Zeneca;
Schering Plough; Glaxo Smith Kline; Pharmacia & Upjohn; United
Technologies; Raytheon; Lockheed Martin; Boise Cascade;
International Paper; Federal Reserve; Treasury Department; World
Bank and very many others would be found represented in The
Pilgrims.
We already know
where they are taking us---towards world government in a reunion
with Great Britain, using the United Nations as a facade. The
world’s most powerful organization is Anglo-American---or
British-American, with key European participation via
intermarriages. According to “Skolnick’s Report” at
www.skolnicksreport.com/greenbribe.html the Bush family is
heavily involved in global narcotics trafficking in connection with
the British Crown and its “older and wiser” status, and mentions
Pilgrim Investments as the Bush conduit and even mentions The
Pilgrim Society but doesn’t go into much detail. At least word is
getting around. Our mission should be to pull their collective
pants down, expose them and their revolting plans, and put them out
of business. Speaking of Mr. Bush, fellow Pilgrim Society member
William Stamps Farish III quoted him as saying, “America has no
truer friend than Great Britain” (apparently he didn’t watch Mel
Gibson’s film “The Patriot”) see
www.usembassy.org.uk/ukamb/farish8.html for the content. In
this view he would not have been supported by President Jackson!
Farish gave Bush’s campaign $107,000 for which favor he was
appointed Ambassador to Great Britain. It seems Farish wanted the
post badly because he already hosted Queen Elizabeth II four times
in Lexington, Kentucky, allegedly in connection with the sport of
thoroughbred horse racing (Farish was chairman of Churchill Downs
and owns many racehorses and farms). Maybe she wanted an update on
what the Crown’s Pilgrim Society network was doing to impoverish the
middle class here en route to the return to medieval feudalism.
Farish and the Bush family participated together in the Zapata
Offshore Drilling Company. His grandfather founded Humble Oil &
Refining Company in 1917, which became the largest subsidiary of
what became Exxon, and was a founder of the American Petroleum
Institute in 1926. He is a member of the Council of American
Ambassadors, another focal point for the Society’s control over our
foreign relations (5 members identified so far as directors) Farish
III, probably a billionaire--
To return to
the U.N.---it wasn’t only the United States and its elitists who
created the U.N.; the British and some Europeans also played a
role. It was located in the United States probably because if our
sovereignty can be weakened, the other nations will follow. In May
1979 I attended a speech at Texas Christian University in Fort
Worth, given by Sir Ivor Seward Richard (born 1932), then British
Ambassador to the United Nations and head of the Security Council.
Currently, the main elitist at TCU as a trustee appears to be
Winthrop Rockefeller Jr., (Pilgrims?) whose father as Arkansas
Governor pardoned all the killers on the state’s death row.
President George Bush the First made Junior chairman of the
President’s Council on Rural America. Who the deep plant at TCU was
in 1979 was probably a lesser figure. The university official who
introduced Sir Ivor was ecstatic and fawned simperingly over that
British Tory Redcoat until I thought he’d ask the audience to
genuflect to him. The official pointed out about Sir Ivor being a
member of the English Speaking Union and the Fabian Society of Great
Britain (a politically radical front). He chaired the Rhodesia
Conference in 1976. I waited for the announcer to state about Sir
Ivor being a member of The Pilgrim Society. That announcement never
came. Next I waited for the Britisher to mention his membership in
The Pilgrims and to tell the audience anything about the Society.
He made no such utterance. Below, note the emblem of the Fabian
Society of Great Britain, that of a wolf in sheep’s clothing, in a
combative posture---
I came equipped
with a tape recorder and sat on the front row. Try as I might, I
could not get selected to ask a question of the distinguished man.
Probably because I had a large tape recorder, and also because I was
wearing a T-shirt featuring a blown-up Pilgrim Society emblem (see
first essay in this series); although its details might not have
been discernable past 15 feet. After the question session was
adjourned, we were informed that a basement reception was to take
place. Sir Ivor saw me working my way towards him several times,
and the first time he noticed my shirt with the emblem, he went all
white. All this time I had the recorder running. Finally in
frustration I maneuvered myself in front of him in such a way that
he would have had to run straight into me to pass by. As we were
inches apart I asked him “How do you like my shirt?” I am not a
person who claims mind reading ability. But often you gather the
mood of the other individual by the facial expression---he was
frantic. I was not supposed to have that emblem, or to know he
was a member! HOW did this person know of the Society, and his
membership in it, he must have wondered! He took advantage of a gap
in the crowd and swiftly rotated away from me, where he was mobbed
by autograph requests. I wouldn’t have cared about that. I would
have asked for a 1979 list for both branches, updating the then
10-year-old lists I had the rare luck to come by. He would have
given me current lists, like he would have given me his eyeballs.
Quite dignified as far as everyone else present understood, I
recognized him as the cellblock looking creep he was.
During his
speech he mentioned to us about his maternal grandfather William H.
Seward, who as Secretary of States of these United States, made the
Alaska Purchase from Russia for $7 million, consummated on March 30,
1867. “We’re mostly family in The Pilgrim Society!” William Seward
(below)--
His son William
Henry (born 1839) was a Colonel in the Union Army and was listed as
head of “banking firm of William H. Seward & Co.” starting in 1860
(Who Was Who, 1897-1942, page 1106), which page also showed the
Sewards married into the Frelinghuysen family (old Dutch colonial
land fortune, later holding sugar interests and Congressional
representation.) Was he out fighting, or sitting behind the lines
banking? According to
www.members.tripod.com/~american_almanac/prometh1.htm
“President
Lincoln had been murdered at the war’s end, and Secretary of State
Seward was no longer under Lincoln’s restraining hand. Seward now
worked for a British-allied New York and Boston political faction
representing all Lincoln fought against. Mexican Ambassador Romero
suspected treachery from Seward and had worked directly with Lincoln
during the war.”
Romero couldn’t
have liked Seward’s British connections, as the British were long
against silver money, and Romero wrote a pro-silver article, “The
Silver Standard In Mexico” in the North American Review, June 1895
(in which he mentioned the Bank of London and Mexico).
The 1969 list
for New York had a John Wesley Seward, an attorney (Sir Ivor was a
“barrister,” the British version of that term). John was a director
of the Diaz Corporation, which may be linked to Mexico. We had
another Pilgrim Society member linked to funding revolutionary
activity in Mexico earlier (read about the dangerous Mr. Pierce
later). Another Seward, George (born 1910---a member---I do not
know), was a director of Howmet Corporation (titanium and part of
the Mellon holdings) when its chairman was Pilgrim Society member
Eugene Robert Black, ex president of the World Bank, and director of
numerous corporations including Royal Dutch Petroleum; Scandinavian
Securities; Chase Manhattan Bank; Warner Communications; American
Express; New York Times; Cummins Engine and others. Black was
chairman of Brookings Institution, an anti-silver organization in
Washington, D.C. George Seward was a trustee of the Edwin Gould
Foundation, named after charter Pilgrim Society member Edwin Gould,
son of gold and railroad manipulator Jay Gould. George Seward, a
member of the Raven Society of the University of Virginia, was on
the legal advisory committee to the New York Stock Exchange,
1984-1987. He founded the International Capital Markets Group of
the International Federation of Accountants and was a member of the
Bohemian Club (San Francisco), which the Queen has visited. As of
1994 George listed his address at Hanover Square, London,
headquarters of the International Bar Association. Hanover Square
is named after the medieval Hanovers of Germany, whose wealthy royal
lineage traces into The Pilgrims of Great Britain and was part of
the name of a major United States bank---Manufacturers Hanover
Trust, headed notably by Pilgrim Society member Gabriel Hauge, who
sat on the Bilderberg steering committee.
Another Seward,
possibly George’s grandfather, George Frederick Seward (born 1840)
was American minister to China 1876-1880, and in 1893 became
president of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain. He had
residences in New York and New Jersey, yet was appointed to head a
British Empire organization, another example of “transatlantic
cooperation” of American and British elites. William Seward Pierson
(Skull & Bones Society of Yale, 1836) may have been another
relation.
G. William
Domhoff authored “The Higher Circles---The Governing Class in
America” (1970) and “The Bohemian Grove---A Study in Ruling Class
Cohesiveness” (1974). He mentions Bilderberg and the Council on
Foreign Relations in both books. In the first one the index
contains some 82 names identified as Pilgrim Society members, and at
least 17 in the second; nowhere does he mention the organization.
Probably he had no knowledge of it. Chapter three of his 1974 book
is entitled, “Do Bohemians Rule America?” The answer is yes---in
the same sense as the Skull & Bones Society, the Council on Foreign
Relations, the Trilateral Commission and the Rhodes Scholars. They
are all very important, yet mere fronts for the super-elite Pilgrim
Society, back of which there appears to be no controlling group!
SEIZING THE
WEALTH NECESSARY!
We’ve seen how
Pilgrim Society members such as William Simon were involved in
crushing the Dallas Hunt brothers in 1980, and Howard Hughes in the
early 1960’s. A key player in that event was “superstar banker”
Frederic H. Brandi of The Pilgrims, Dillon Read & Company and
American South African gold trust (ASA Ltd.—why bother listing all
the other boards he sat on?) (Below)---
Floyd Bostwick
Odlum (born 1892; The Pilgrims, 1969, information not found anywhere
else) was a billionaire, possibly several times over. (The list
does not state in which year members were admitted; many are
probably admitted by mid-40’s and most by age 50). The 1952 Who’s
Who, page 1832, had Odlum in the Piping Rock Club; the New York
Yacht Club; and the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club and the
Metropolitan---high powered clubs interlocked with The Pilgrims and
with most significant “globalist” societies. Ferdinand Lundberg in
“America’s 60 Families” (1937) page 32 said---
“The only
noteworthy postwar fortune belongs to Floyd B. Odlum, a Morgan
corporation executive formerly with the Electric Bond & Share
Company. Odlum formed the Atlas Corporation, an investment trust,
on the basis of a $40,000 investment in 1924. This enterprise now
participates in nearly every industry, having acquired its equities
at extreme depression lows. The New York Times of April 23, 1933,
reported that Atlas Corporation then owned assets aggregating
$100,000,000. Atlas assets are valued now at more than double this
sum; the corporation is probably the biggest investment
trust in the world. Odlum has been designated, with some truth,
the sole newcomer to win in the great postwar boom and collapse.”
Odlum went
short stocks before the October 1929 crash. At what point his worth
surpassed $1 billion, I haven’t determined, but several sources (www.nf104.com)
called him a billionaire. The Globe & Mail, October 12, 2002, had a
feature, “Billionaire Stock Tycoon Floyd Odlum.” Odlum was a heavy
holder of RCA (Radio Corporation of America) and General Dynamics
stock (www.collectspace.com)
His Atlas Corporation purchased Paramount Pictures in 1933 at
“basement” prices. Odlum was also chairman of RKO Studios, another
filmmaker. Atlas Corporation was once known as Atlas Utilities &
Investors Company. Odlum was also a heavy owner, through his Atlas
Corporation, of Greyhound Bus Lines; Northeast Airlines (nearly
90%); Bonwit Teller (department stores); Convair Aviation; United
Fruit Company; and Madison Square Garden. Odlum was “widely
reputed to be one of the 10 richest men in the world” (www.nationmaster.com).
He also was dominant in Barnsdall Oil Company. History News
Network, May 9, 2004, said of him---
“A powerful
financial wizard and industrialist, personally convinced Ike to
seek the office. The Odlum papers are at the Eisenhower Library.”
Odlum was
already personally involved with the office of the President. On
October 20, 1948, he met with President Truman (Truman Library
reference). American National Biography, published under the aegis
of the American Council of Learned Societies, 1999 edition, volume
16, page 623 said of Odlum---
“He built the
Atlas Corporation into one of the world’s greatest investment
corporations, controlling many companies in a vast array of
industries.”
Time Magazine,
September 12, 1942, said Odlum “buys everything for 50 cents on the
dollar.” In 1954 he bought the nation’s biggest uranium deposit in
Utah---the Hidden Splendor mine. Odlum was also the dominant
shareholder in Standard Uranium. John A. Roosevelt, son of Franklin
Delano Roosevelt, became an officer and director of Standard
Uranium. John Roosevelt turned up on page 2820 of the 1981 Who’s
Who as a member of The Pilgrims and joined Bache Group in 1957,
where he was a director till 1981. Bache Group was founded by Jules
S. Bache of The Pilgrims, president and treasurer of Dome Mines (now
Placer Dome)---Who’s Who, 1928, page 203. Bache held interests in
chemicals; liquor; land; banking; railroads; insurance; copper
mines; oil; agriculture; and Chrysler Corporation. Bache Group
played a role in flushing the Hunt brothers down the COMEX silver
drain! Roosevelt was a trustee of Eisenhower Exchange Fellowship
Foundation, whose scholars favor weakening American national
sovereignty; a director of the Boy Scouts of America (thoroughly
infiltrated); and trustee, State University of New York and
Roosevelt College, Chicago.
The Atomic
Energy Commission was buying uranium from Odlum, especially in the
early 1950’s, that, in addition to his huge aviation interests, is
why he insinuated himself into confidentiality with several
Presidents. The 1952 Who’s Who, page 1888, shows Pilgrim Society
member Richard Cunningham Patterson Jr. (born 1886) as a director of
Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation, of which Odlum was
chairman (later Convair). Patterson was a “day laborer” in the
South Dakota gold mines, 1905-1907. In 1920 he became assistant to
the president of J.G. White Engineering Corporation. J.G. White was
listed in the 2002 Pilgrims of Great Britain book (page 185) as a
charter member in New York in 1903. In 1921-1922 Patterson was with
the Du Pont chemical conglomerate (Pilgrim Society, and big silver
users). In 1932-1936 he was a director of National Broadcasting
Company, owned by RCA and became assistant Secretary of Commerce,
1938-1939, where he was associated with the Export-Import Bank of
the U.S., a device for looting the taxpayers. In 1939-1943 he was
installed as chairman of Odlum’s RKO Corporation, and became
Ambassador to Yugoslavia, 1944-1947; to Guatemala, 1948-1951; then
Ambassador to Switzerland. He was an administrative officer with
the American Commission to Negotiate the Peace, in 1919, whose role
was to insure that Germany would be so galled by the terms of
surrender that they’d attack Europe as soon as the next generation
reached soldier age.
Patterson, one
of Odlum’s key associates, was also a director of the China-America
Council of Commerce & Industry. Odlum was a trustee of the Army &
Air Force Aid Society and the American Institute for Foreign Trade
and as of 1952, was a past president of the important American
Arbitration Association. As of 1953 he was chairman of the
Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation, long associated with
pharmaceutical interests gouging the public. Odlum’s wife,
Jacqueline Cochran Odlum (deceased 1980) held more aviation records
than any other pilot---men included--- in history. She flew a
bomber to England in 1941 and became flight captain in the British
Air Transport auxiliary, training pilots. On return to the United
States she organized the WASPS---Women’s Air Force Service Pilots.
She was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal in 1945 and became a
lieutenant colonel in the USAF Reserves in 1948. She was the first
woman to break the sound barrier, in 1953; and flew twice the speed
of sound on June 3, 1964. In 1961 she achieved an altitude record
of 55,253 feet in an F-104G Starfighter and was the first woman to
make a “blind” landing.
Let’s take a
hard look at what this Pilgrim Society member, Floyd Odlum, did,
working with another Pilgrim Society member, Stuart Symington, to
“seize the wealth necessary.” Symington was chairman of Emerson
Electric Manufacturing Company, St. Louis, 1938-1945. In 1945-1946
he was Surplus Property Administrator in Washington, D.C., disposing
of unused war materials, probably at give-away prices, to his
Pilgrim Society network. From 1947 through 1950 Symington was
Secretary of the Air Force. In 1950 he became chairman of the
National Security Resources Board, which was suggestive of more
recent Presidential Executive Orders authorizing the “seizure” of
commodities in wartime. Symington was a personal friend of Floyd
and Jacqueline Odlum and entertained them in his Air Force
administrative office. Jack Northrop of Northrop Aviation was in
competition with Convair Aviation---controlled by Odlum---for
defense contracting business. Below, Pilgrim Society member Stuart
Symington (who became a Senator from Missouri in 1952) and his son
James became a Congressman from Missouri. In 1962 through 1965
James was administrative assistant to the Attorney General of the
United States. Before that he was assistant to the United States
Ambassador to Great Britain, John Hay Whitney, who turned up by 1973
as a vice president of The Pilgrims of the United States
Odlum wanted to
buy out Northrop on terms favorable to himself and bad for Northrop,
so Northrop declined. After that, the pressure mounted from
Washington against Northrop. In 1952 Jack Northrop sold out all his
Northrop shares and left the business. Symington, while Secretary
of the Air Force, cancelled Northrop’s B-49 Bomber project. General
Curtis LeMay, General George Kenney and General Henry Arnold
testified in favor of backing up Symington’s decision. Kenney,
Knight Commander, Order of the British Empire, sided against
Northrop, due to Odlum being a member of an interlocking British
Empire organization---The Pilgrims! Who’s Who, 1966, page 1135, has
Kenney stating he was president of the Arthritis and Rheumatism
Foundation since 1951 (of which Odlum was chairman!!) LeMay was at
that time, Air Force Chief of Staff and a personal friend of
Jacqueline Cochran! By the 1970’s LeMay was a trustee of the
National Geographic Society, another Pilgrim Society run
organization like the Smithsonian Institution. In 1980 Northrop
broke silence and said Symington cancelled the deal because Northrop
refused to merge with Convair, because Convair (Odlum) attempted to
put too harsh a deal with Northrop. Get this---as part of the
cancellation order, Secretary Symington ordered seven of the
Northrop B-49’s destroyed!
Concerning the
B-36 hearings after that contract cancellation---Northrop admitted
by 1980 (coincidentally, about when Odlum’s wife passed on) that he
(Northrop) lied under oath to Congress, because he was fearful that
Symington might “totally destroy” his company in retaliation for his
refusal of Odlum’s merger terms! There were rumors in the press at
that time that Symington was to be installed by Odlum as head of
Convair after the takeover of Northrop! Louis A. Johnson, Secretary
of Defense, later alleged that Symington conspired with Odlum to
switch Air Force contracts. For documentation supporting these
charges, refer to the House Committee on Armed Services
investigation of the bomber program, 81st session of
Congress, 1949, page 13; “American Combat Planes” (1982) by Ray
Wagner (Doubleday & Company); “Northrop Flying Wings” (1988) by
Edward Maloney (World War II Publications); “Truman” by David
McCullough (Simon & Schuster, 1992); “Northrop’s Big Wing” by David
Baker (Air International, June 1993); “B-2 Intrigue” by Graham
Stallard (Air International, August 1993, page 117); and “Big Bomb”
(Air International, November 1993, page 285).
This is what
happens when Pilgrim Society members conspire to ruin other rich
men. None of the above reference sources mention anything
concerning Odlum and Symington both being members of The Pilgrims.
Undoubtedly, not one of them knew anything about it; so
monumental is the wall of silence! In 1961
Odlum became chairman of Federal Resources Corporation and the 1966
Who’s Who, page 1592 listed him as chairman of the Lovelace
Foundation for Medical Education & Research at Albuquerque, New
Mexico. According to page 57 of that edition, Robert Orville
Anderson was vice chairman of the Lovelace Foundation. Anderson was
also listed at that time as chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of
Dallas and director of Atlantic Refining Company, whose major
stockholder was Pilgrim Society member David Rockefeller. Odlum,
who was also president of the Hertz Foundation for Science
Fellowships, was awarded the Presidential Certificate of Merit.
Many Pilgrim Society members have been closely involved with United
States Presidents, including billionaire Walter Annenberg of TV
Guide, with Nixon and Reagan. Take note---none of these Pilgrim
Society members---Odlum; Annenberg; Patterson; and Symington---were
Yale graduates, so we know they weren’t members of Skull & Bones.
Yet consider the huge power they exercised! Will someone allege
billionaires cannot be powerful, unless they belong to Skull &
Bones? Come on with that Skull & Bones theory already---it’s quite
inferior to The Pilgrims. Skull & Bones is a society junior to The
Pilgrims, because college age boys are admitted; admittance into The
Pilgrims appears to take place almost always after age 40. Again,
The Pilgrims is the only elitist Society of which the
President is always a member, regardless of which university
he came from. Annenberg became Ambassador to Great Britain,
1969-1974, which country set up Skull & Bones as an influence front
in America. The Pilgrims encompasses all the key elitist rich men
in America, whereas Skull & Bones encompasses only those from Yale.
Even at Yale it does not encompass them all---Scroll & Key is also
intensely significant; Wolf’s Head and Book & Snake are significant,
Berzelius appears to be the runt of the litter.
The case of
Odlum and Symington and their collusion to wipe out a man who
wouldn’t sell out at a lowball price is a glimmer---or a mirror---to
indicate also that The Pilgrim Society watches---observes---and
waits---to behold any entrepreneurs who build a very successful
company and then, either get taken over, squeezed out, or invited to
become part of the Network. And if the offer to affiliate with the
Network is declined, that rising company will come under fire and be
brought down, most likely by the machinery of the legal system. No
wonder some Supreme Court justices have been members or in their
orbit, and United States Attorney Generals including George
Wickersham and Herbert Brownell---two I recall without checking my
files. No wonder the Justice Department won’t investigate the
Silver Users Association as to anti-trust issues.
A final note on
Pilgrim Society member Floyd Odlum. Whereas he was obviously a
fanatic devotee of his own financial interests, he was actively
hostile to silver mining interests. Probably for two
reasons---industrial users like to steal silver cheaply, and because
Odlum had Federal Reserve connections, as we just saw. Paper money
creators detest silver! From 1940 through 1944 Odlum was a “special
advisor” to the Office of Price Administration, which placed a
Federal price cap on both domestic and imported silver! (See “War
And Silver,” Archives). You can be certain while Odlum was selling
uranium to the Atomic Energy Commission he didn’t want any Federal
price cap placed on THAT! Laws and regulations are crafted to harm
those outside The Pilgrim Society’s charmed circle of ultra-high
finance. That’s why they always have key representation in the
Senate and House; high-powered Wall Street attorneys are members; an
occasional Supreme Court justice; and more frequently, the Attorney
General of the U.S. Justice Department! The Atlas Missile program
was named after Odlum’s Atlas Corporation, the contractor, which was
used in the Apollo missions to send astronauts to the moon. Another
item on Odlum---his Atlas Corporation hired Alexander Gumberg after
he was deported from Norway for Bolshevik-related activities!
Considering the superabundance of evidence pointing to the national
and worldwide financial, political, social and educational influence
wielded by The Pilgrims, and the lack of indications as to their
being a front for any other society, the quote attributed to Adam
Weishaupt, founder of the Order of Illuminati, applies to them
better than to any other entity---
“The Order will
thus work silently, and securely; and though the generous
benefactors of the human race are thus deprived of the applause of
the world, they have the noble pleasure of seeing their work prosper
in their hands.”
MANY OTHER
ULTRA-POWERFUL MEN!
Have been and
are members of The Pilgrims besides Odlum. Consider Sir Siegmund G.
Warburg (Pilgrims of Great Britain list circa 1969). I have to
re-emphasize, for the sake of penetrating to the truth of the
matter, that Skull & Bones is an outer ring, whereas The Pilgrims is
the inner circle; there is nothing back of them; although, even they
have an inner core for whom other members are functionaries! No
member of The Pilgrims of Great Britain is a member of Skull &
Bones, so far as I have found in many long searches. Yet those
London Pilgrim Society members are possessed of financial power and
influence, which is very nearly off the scale. The Yale societies
were set up as influence fronts in the “Colonies” and as adjuncts to
the very dirty opium trade. But it is London that is the center of
24-hour international banking time and the world center of central
banking, dating to the founding of the Bank of England by Royal
charter in 1694. Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma, in favor of
silver money, complained about “Great Britain’s managed currency
bloc” (Commercial & Financial Chronicle, January 4, 1936, page 37),
a reference to its influence network of central banks around the
globe, chief of which is the U.S. Federal Reserve. During the
tenure of Cornell University graduate, Pilgrim Society member Henry
Morgenthau as Treasury Secretary, the “all-seeing eye” with its
Egyptian mysticism was placed on the Federal Reserve note--
“Annuit Coeptis”
has been widely and totally erroneously said to mean, “He favors our
enterprise.” Any Latin dictionary reveals the actual fact---it
means “Year of Conception,” that being a reference to the Roman
numerals at the base of the pyramid, which add up to 1776.
Unfortunately this isn’t a reference to the year 1776 in American
history, but to the so-called “Order of Illuminati” said to have
been founded in Ingolstadt, Bavaria on May 1, 1776 by a professor
Adam Weishaupt. I don’t plan to attempt looking at the twists and
turns of a mysterious force back of the stage of history, except to
say that organization was no different in basis than The Pilgrims or
any other such elitist group today. It is a maze of common roots
grown together, linked by flaming ambition the likes of which the
average person cannot relate to. The British Empire was already a
global force generations before the Bavarian Illuminati.
Eustace Mullins
in “Secrets of the Federal Reserve” (1983), page 68, had this
observation---
“No official of
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or of the Federal Reserve
Board of Governors, can command the power over the money of the
world which is held by these London merchant bankers. Great
Britain, while waning in military power, today exercises the
greatest financial power. It is for this reason that London
is the financial center of the world.”
New Haven,
Connecticut, site of Yale University and Skull & Bones Society, is
very much a junior operation beside the City of London. Literally
trillions in foreign exchange transactions are cleared monthly
through the London banking behemoths---Pilgrim Society run
institutions such as Barclay’s; National Westminster; HSBC Bank
Group; and Standard-Chartered Bank Group. To return to Sir Siegmund---
of the same Warburg banking dynasty related to the Rothschilds, and
whose representative, Pilgrim Society member Paul Warburg, was a
main driver in inflicting the Federal Reserve System on the American
public. Business Week, November 23, 1974, pages 92-93 had an
article on Sir Siegmund Warburg of S. G. Warburg & Company, London.
Warburg “created the huge Eurobond market” and (as of then) “still
runs the bank from his home in Switzerland.” Additionally, Warburg
“counts among his friends some of the most powerful men in
the world.” Small wonder that he did; he was a member of the
super-secret, all too influential, Pilgrim Society! His visible
wealth was only listed at some $750 million. George Warburg, his
son, also appeared in the late 1960’s list from London. S.G.
Warburg & Company was later run by Sir Siegmund’s understudy, Lord
Roll of Ipsden---most likely another member---who became one of the
controllers of Bilderberg with its program of indoctrination of
heads of state with the aims of world finance. No outsider can know
how much wealth the Warburgs have accumulated through involvement
with central banking because it would be to their detriment to have
it known. Central banking and fiat money creation is about wealth
transfer on the most enormous scale conceivable.
Back to the
issue of, does this organization truly qualify as a secret society?
Again they would say no; just look, they released a book called “The
Pilgrims of Great Britain---A Centennial History.” They had a list
of original members of the London lodge for 1902, and the New York
lodge for 1903. From other verifiable input, those lists are
abridged---not complete. Someone is still trying to conceal facts.
Furthermore, this book is far from a mass distribution item; I was
barely able to get a copy. There are a number of intentional
misstatements in the book (page 148 a key example) intended to
misdirect the reader’s beliefs. A key point to be made is---they
didn’t include a list of members as of 2002. Are the 2002 members
not just as important as the founding members; WHY must their
identity remain concealed? And if they purported to show a list of
original members for both branches, also, why did they not include a
United States list for 2002? Could it be they know that no one can
go to cemeteries and try to interview the deceased? And that the
living members anonymity will be shielded by nondisclosure? As they
say on page 15, “The list of members makes fascinating reading.”
Additionally, since the London branch thought it important to put
out a (limited circulation) book celebrating their first 100 years,
why has the United States branch not done so as well? They would
therefore have been due to put out a book in 2003; no such book has
appeared. Yet, should such a volume manifest, there would be no
point in its listing original members from 1903, unless it chose to
list all the original members (rather than just some of them in a
pretense of completeness!) Rockefeller, Harriman, Vanderbilt,
Whitney, Harkness, Pratt, Morgan, Mellon, Carnegie, Field and
others---do not appear at the start; yet, operatives of these
powerful families appear. What The Pilgrims could do, for the sake
of balance, is include a CURRENT list---but after all, they are
truly a secret organization and the full identities of all living
members must not be disclosed!
From the
beginning, this group has controlled the most important
informational media sources. We will take a glance at that point.
They control the two most important newspapers in existence---the
New York Times and The Times, London. They could get any publicity
they want. What they’ve done is to give themselves controlled
publicity---adequate to be able to say---“see, we’re not a secret
society!” But it is a hollow declaration because they most
important point is unsatisfied---they will not release their
membership identities! If any of you are able to obtain a copy of
the 2002 book, turn immediately to page 77. Notice the expression
of the tallest member in the lineup from the left to the middle of
the picture; study the expression of the member directly behind him;
and evaluate the expression of the member at the far left. They
looked like they were ready to split the rest of the country open
and skin it alive, which is exactly what they did in 1929-1934.
The following
brief New York Times article, dated December 13, 1973, page 28,
concerning an address by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to The
Pilgrims London was sent to me by The Pilgrims New York office, by
assistant secretary Mrs. E.M. Simpson along with her denial as to
their secret society status---
“Pilgrims
Society Seeks U.S.-British Friendship. Special to The New York
Times. London, Dec. 12---The Pilgrims Society, where Secretary
Kissinger spoke tonight, has been fostering British-American
friendship since 1902, when it was founded to “promote good
relations” between Britain and the United States. Among its
founders were Lindsey Russell of New York and Sir Harry Brittain of
London, now a centenarian and a frequent and valued speaker at the
society’s annual dinners here. There are American and British
chapters and the society’s dinners are held in London and New York.
The Pilgrims first dinner in 1903 was held in London. Chauncey
Depew addressed it and Field Marshall Earl Roberts, the British Boer
War commander, also among the founders, attended. The society’s
presidents have usually been ambassadors. Members and guests are
diplomats, high-ranking soldiers or other men of distinction in
many fields.”
The society’s
presidents have occasionally---not usually---been ambassadors. The
U.S. branch hasn’t had an ambassador for its president since before
1955. Notice they mention that “men of distinction in many fields”
are members---but no names! They speak of having high-ranking
military figures, and ambassadors, as members. We saw last December
that they always control the President of the United States, the
Secretary of State, and the U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain. Those
“men of distinction in many fields” include personalities who are
the wealthiest in the United States---and the facts look far
different from lists of rich rankings in Fortune or Forbes. They
control those magazines and can skew the facts any way they wish.
Those “men of distinction” include the leading bankers and
financiers---paper money creators who, having separated the
financial system from a gold backing, are therefore more free to be
the warmongers they are. That accounts for their inclusion of
Generals and Admirals in their ranks. We will meet some of these.
Another article
by which they could falsely claim to not be a secret society
appeared in The Times, London, February 10, 1982, page 10 and
read---
“The Pilgrims,
who promote Anglo-American understanding, have Senator John Tower,
chairman of the United States Senate Armed Services Committee,
coming to lunch at the Savoy on February 23. Tower, a tough
Republican, who won Lyndon Johnson’s seat two decades ago, is a
powerful figure, in some senses outranking the well-publicized
Secretary of State, Alexander Haig. On the other hand Haig was a
general. Tower, the only enlisted reservist in Congress, is still
officially a chief petty officer.”
We find the
same code language repeated over and over---“British-American
friendship,” and “Anglo-American understanding” being two choice
examples. What does this code language signify? It means that
Britain will continue to pursue dreams of World Empire, using the
might of America to back her up. We saw that in two World Wars and
all indications are we are readying to see it in a third universal
war! Like Ambassador Whitelaw Reid told his fellow conspirators in
London---
“Great Britain
could count upon every dollar, every man, and every drop of
blood in America.”
(Quoted in the
Congressional Record, August 21, 1940). I don’t feel that way. Let
England fight its own wars. This is the same country that attempted
to hold us in subjugation over two centuries past. Our patriots
died to free us from the Crown. Let’s not go back under it, nor be
used to fight its wars in the Middle East! The common man in
Britain can be seen as friends, but their leadership is dangerous
beyond words. Reid was special Ambassador of the U.S. to Queen
Victoria’s Jubilee, 1897, and again to the Coronation of King Edward
VII in 1902. Let’s conduct a review of some personalities listed as
original members of The Pilgrims 1903 New York, and of The Pilgrims
London, 1902, based on the list of names in their 2002 book.
Details come mainly from four separate Who’s Who volumes---Who Was
Who in America, 1897-1942; and 3 British Who’s Who versions,
published by Adam & Charles Black, London, covering deaths of
prominent persons from 1897-1950. We’ll look at some U.S.
personalities first. These are all men who passed away generations
ago. Out of the 158 I found listed in those 4 reference volumes,
only five (5) admitted posthumously that they were members of
“Pilgrims,” and those five were all from the London side. That was
8.6% for London, fewer than 3.2% for both branches total, and zero
for the U.S. branch alone! Not one of the 100 listed Americans
included in his biographical details the most important fact of
their lives---that they were members of The Pilgrims! It’s too
sensitive a matter for the world at large to become aware of, how
this elite crafts our destiny to our disadvantage.
A total of 374
names were listed, encompassing the total alleged membership in
London as of 1902 and New York as of 1903 (combined for both
branches). 129 names were listed for London---34.5% of the admitted
or alleged total. Assuming the actual ratio was the same with a
somewhat larger figure (450 to 500 names) it appears that Americans
are happy to join the British Empire scheme. 58 of 129 names for
London were found in the 3 British Who’s Who volumes---about 45%.
Many important people refuse to be listed. For the United States
names, only 100 out of 245 names listed were found in the 1897-1942
Who Was Who---just fewer than 41%. Of the 100 listed members (all
“underground” in the Who’s Who), only 7 were Yale graduates, and no
details were given as to any membership in the Yale
“super-fraternities.” Other schools similarly represented were
Harvard and Columbia. Some choice details now follow!
Major General
Leonard Wood (1860-1927; Pilgrims 1903), Grand Officer, Order of the
Golden Grain (China); Grand Officer, Order of the Rising Sun
(Japan); Grand Officer, Legion of Honor (France); Grand Officer,
Order of Mauritius and Lazarus (Italy); Roosevelt Medal; Ambassador
to Argentina (1910); Chief of Staff, United States Army, 1910-1914;
Commander, Department of the East, 1914-1917; chairman, special
mission from U.S. to Philippine Islands, visiting Japan and China,
1921; governor-general, Philippine Islands, 1921. Candidate for
Republican Presidential nomination, 1920; Congressional Medal of
Honor, 1898, “for distinguished conduct in campaign against Apache
Indians.”---
PILGRIM SOCIETY
member! Military men are in the secret organization alongside the
financiers the better to wage their wars. Adna Romanza Chaffee
(1842-1914) was another member in 1903. According to the Combined
Arms Research Library at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas---
“General
Adna R. Chaffee was the first soldier in American history to enlist
in the Army as a private and then advance through the ranks to
become Chief of the Army General Staff. Answering President
Lincoln's call for volunteers, he joined the 6th Cavalry Regiment
and participated in nearly all major cavalry actions of the Civil
War.”
“Following
the Civil War, he fought Indians and chased outlaws in the southwest
territories for more than twenty years. In the Spanish-American War,
he commanded the first unit to sail for Cuba and eventually became
Chief of Staff of the American Command during that war.”
“He
commanded American troops in China during the Boxer Rebellion and
led the expedition that raised the siege of the legations at Peking.
In Peking he upheld his reputation as a fighter and gained
additional recognition as a skilled diplomat and administrator.”
The Boxer
Rebellion, dramatized in the film with David Niven and Charlton
Heston, “55 Days at Peking” (1963) came about due to Chinese
Imperial weariness of the British poisoning the population with
opium. Chaffee---
According to
a website on the Philippine-American War---
“Adna Romanza
Chaffee was born in Ohio in 1842. A veteran of the Civil war and
countless Indian campaigns, he served throughout the
Spanish-American War, and commanded American troops in the
capture of Peking, China, during the Boxer rebellion. He replaced
MacArthur as head general of the Philippines on July 4, 1901.
Chaffee was the “soldier’s soldier,” a tough, hard-riding cavalryman
who despised civilians in general and intended to crush the
“insurrection.” He appointed Gen.
Bell to Batangas and
Smith to Samar, with orders to do whatever was necessary to
destroy the opposition--he wanted an Indian-style campaign instead
of the previous “humanitarian warfare.” Chaffee’s orders were
largely responsible for the atrocities that marked the
later stages of the war. When the war ended in 1902, Chaffee
returned to the States, where he served as lieutenant general and
Chief of Staff for the U.S. Army from 1904-1906. He retired in 1906
and died in 1914.
"If you should
hear of a few Filipinos more or less being put away don't grow too
sentimental over it."
--Chaffee, to newspaper correspondent Joseph Ohl.”
Joseph Wheeler
(1836-1906) was identified in the 1942 and the 2002 Pilgrim books as
a founder in London in 1902. He was a brigadier general in the
Confederate Army who was wounded three times, had 16 horses shot out
from underneath him, and 8 of his staff killed and 32 wounded. He
commanded in “50 cavalry battles and hundreds of minor combats” (Who
Was Who, 1897-1942, page 1329). After the war he became an attorney
and planter and was a Congressman from Alabama, 1881-1899.
From 1886
through 1900 Wheeler was a Smithsonian Institution regent. He was
involved in military actions in Cuba in 1898 and the Philippines,
1899-1900 and became a United States Brigadier General in 1900. Do
you find it strange that a passionate Southerner and Confederate
general would become a founder of an organization, the American
branch of which was based in New York, leading city of the despised
“Yankees?” The British built warships for the South during the
conflict and assisted them with exports. According to books such as
“Money Powers of Europe” (1938) and “History of the Southern
Confederacy” (1954), the English Rothschilds were involved in
backing both sides, the North through financier August Belmont; the
South through the Erlangers, family relatives. Wheeler in battle
uniform---
Guess what!
Surprise, surprise! The 2002 Pilgrim book lists August Bellmont
(should be spelled with one l) as a 1903 member in New York
(below)---
Another
military figure in the 1903 Pilgrim list was Julius Stahel (born
Hungary, November 5, 1825) who “fought in struggle for Hungarian
independence under Louis Kossuth, 1848, and was wounded and
decorated for gallantry; came to America, 1856; awarded Medal of
Honor, November 4, 1893, for leading his division after he was
severely wounded, and turned the enemy’s flank, at Piedmont,
Virginia, June 5, 1864. Covered retreat of Union Army at head of
his regiment at 1st battle of Bull Run; commanded advance
column of General Fremont’s army in Shenandoah Valley; commanded
brigade, 2nd battle of Bull Run; sent for by President
Lincoln and assigned to command in front of Washington, March 13,
1863. Appointed consul at Yokohama, Japan, and consul general at
Shanghai, China, 1884.” (Who Was Who, 1897-1942).
Charles Francis
Roe (1848-1922) was in the 1903 list and “served on frontier in
Indian campaigns, including the Custer massacre, 21 years.” (WWW,
1897-1942). Rose was a real estate operator and married Katherine
Bissell Bogert, whose middle and last names correspond to names of
Pilgrim Society members in more recent years. I succumb to the
temptation of saying, I wish the entire founding membership of The
Pilgrims could have been wiped out at the Little Big Horn---it is
not any exaggeration to state, we might have been spared World War
I. There can be no other reasons for including military men in the
membership other than to control the military, and to draw on their
experience in planning wars the financiers intend to start!
Samuel Baldwin
Marks Young (1840-1924, Pilgrims 1903) was a lieutenant General from
Pittsburgh who fought in the Civil War, fought in the
Spanish-American War (1898-1899) and was Presidential Chief of Staff
in 1903. He became the first president of the War College,
1902-1903, in Washington, D.C.
Richardson
Clover (1846-1919, Pilgrims 1903) married Mary Eudora Miller,
daughter of Senator John F. Miller and was a career Naval officer.
In 1897-1898 he was chief of the Office of Naval Intelligence;
member of the Board on Construction of Vessels, 1897-1899; member
War and Strategy board, 1898; commanded U.S.S. Bancroft, May 1,
1898, until end of Spanish-American War; served as Naval Attaché in
London, 1900-1903; commanded as Rear Admiral, the U.S.S. Wisconsin,
Asiatic region, 1904-1905; and served as president of the Board of
Inspection, 1906-1908.
John Calwell
Calhoun (1843-1918, Pilgrims 1903) was with the Confederate Army at
the Battle of Fort Sumter. His wife, Linnie Adams, was grandniece
of Richard M. Johnson, vice president of the U.S., 1837-1941. After
the war he had agricultural interests in Alabama, Mississippi and
Arkansas and was part of the management of the Cotton Exposition in
1884 at New Orleans. He was special ambassador to France in 1897,
sent by the S.A.R.---Sons of the American Revolution (France
assisted the Colonies in becoming free from the British). Calling
himself a “financier” (perhaps the Erlangers put him in business) in
the 1897-1942 volume, he was president of the Baltimore Coal Mining
& Railroad Company and “Albertite Oilite & Cannel Coal Co. Ltd.”
Henry Clark
Corbin (1842-1909, Pilgrims 1903) was a Northern Civil War combatant
as a brigadier General of volunteers. He was detailed for duty in
March 1877 at the Executive Mansion (White House) and was secretary
of the Sitting Bull Commission. According to page 260 of the
1897-1942 Who Was Who, Corbin was “with President Garfield at the
time he was shot and at his bedside at Elberon, where he died. In
recognition of his services, and the part he took in war with Spain,
Congress conferred upon him the rank of major General commanding the
Atlantic Division, 1904.” There are other Pilgrim Society members
who mysteriously appeared close at hand on the scene of other
Presidential assassinations, as we shall see!
William Cary
Sanger (1853-1921, Pilgrims 1903) was assistant Secretary of War,
1901-1903 and was related to the Dodge family (copper mining) and
the Clevelands of Presidential fame; President Grover Cleveland was
in the 1903 list. Sanger was a governor of the New York State
Society of Colonial Wars; and governor general of the Order of
Founders and Patriots of America. Upon his entry into The Pilgrims,
British Crown organization, I must assume some of the founders and
patriots of America turned over in their graves. Sanger was a
member of the New York State Commission on Lunacy, 1910-1911. Well,
was he “paranoid” for taking with him to his grave, the fact of his
Pilgrim Society membership?
FINANCIERS &
INDUSTRIALISTS
Henry Phipps
(1839-1930, Pilgrims 1903) was a business partner with Andrew
Carnegie in steel and came out of that enterprise with $75 million
or more in 1901 dollars. In 1861 Phipps was a partner in Bidwell &
Phipps, agents for the DuPont Powder Company, helping soldiers kill
on the Civil War battlefields, but himself practicing patriotism
from a safe distance. He made a “gift” to Johns Hopkins University,
Baltimore, in 1908 for America’s first clinic for the “treatment of
mental illness;” apparently he was afflicted with a “personality
disorder” because he neglected to mention his Pilgrim Society
membership in the 1897-1942 volume; rather, the explanation, from
their viewpoint would be, we’re not “mature” enough to understand
their motives and goals, so it’s best we don’t know they exist, or
if we know, to withhold the current list from us. In “The Rich and
the Super Rich” by Lundberg (1968) he tells us on page 199 about the
Bessemer Investment Company (later Bessemer Securities Corporation),
the family holding company for Phipps interests, which at that time
was identified as a major owner of New England Power; International
Hydroelectric and International Paper. It was called Bessemer Trust
after the Bessemer steel process. According to
www.bessemer.com they control $42.4 billion in investment funds
and says of themselves, “For nearly a century, Bessemer Trust has
been defining wealth
management.”
It is certain
that several of its directors are members.
George Edward
Ide (1860-1919, Pilgrims 1903) was with Dominick & Dickerman,
investment bankers, 1881-1890 and became president in 1894. He was
a director of Home Life Insurance; Brooklyn City Railroad; Title
Guarantee & Trust Company; and Fidelity & Casualty Company.
Dominick & Dickerman later became Dominick & Dominick and in 1949
Avery Rockefeller Jr. entered the firm. The 1966 Who’s Who, page
1800, shows he was a member of The Pilgrims; director of Grolier
Incorporated, encyclopedias; governor, New York Stock Exchange and
chairman of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
1962-1963. His father was a member also and intentionally caused
the investing public losses which in 2005 dollars would run into
many billions!
Isaac Newton
Seligman (1856-1917, Pilgrims 1903) married into the Loeb family of
financiers; Wall Streeter John L. Loeb Jr. appeared as a member of
The Pilgrims as of 1970’s Who’s Who volumes. J. & W. Seligman &
Company opened up in Manhattan in 1878. Its offices were later at
54 Wall Street and it was interlocked with Anglo-California Bank.
It controlled, among other entities, Butte Copper & Zinc Company of
Helena, Montana. Page 154 of “Our Crowd---The Great Jewish Families
of New York” (1967) described Isaac Seligman’s meeting in London
with Baron Rothschild, who sat in Parliament for 23 years and was
London correspondent for their financial operations (pages
154-157). In their first transaction of $55 million, Stephen
Birmingham said on pages 156-157---
“The Baron
suggested the issue be backed by a combination of three houses---the
House of Rothschild, the House of Morgan, and the House of
Seligman. The Seligmans were now participating in the most powerful
combination in the history of banking. The
Seligman-Belmont-Morgan-Rothschild alliance was so successful that
by the end of the decade there were complaints on Wall Street that
London and Germany based bankers had a monopoly on the sale of
United States bonds in Europe, which they virtually did. The
Seligmans were now being called the “American Rothschilds.” In
London Isaac understood the simple rule of Rothschild protocol. It
was he who must always go to the Rothschild offices in New Court.
The Baron would never deign to visit him, and Isaac would not have
had the impertinence to ask him to. In New York the
Seligman-Rothschild alliance did little to further the Seligmans’
progress towards assimilation. As the decade drew to a close, there
were more dark mutterings of an “international conspiracy” of Jewish
bankers to take over the world’s money.”
Isaac Seligman
met Lincoln at a White House reception (page 154). As far as one
religious group is concerned, taking over the world’s money, hasn’t
exactly happened, as I see it. The Rothschilds do have the
strongest mystique as world financiers, but other non-Jewish power
blocs such as the Mellons, Du Ponts and Rockefellers are sufficient
to conclude that this peenomenon isn’t a factor of one religious
group. Rather, it is a factor of these power blocs all uniting in
The Pilgrim Society to “take over the world’s money! Isaac Seligman
was a trustee of Munich Reinsurance Company; Russia Reinsurance
Company (suggesting funding of Bolsheviks); Lincoln Trust Company;
U.S. Savings Bank;; treasurer, City & Suburban Homes Company. The
Seligmans intermarried with the Guggenheims (South American mining
fortune) who also have representatives over the years in The
Pilgrims. Louis Stern (1847-1922, Pilgrims 1903) was another
director of Lincoln Trust; of Atlantic Mutual Insurance; Mutual
Insurance; and was United States Commissioner at the Paris
Exposition of 1900. Birmingham called the Seligman firm in New
York, “World Bankers” (page 94).
Lyman Judson
Gage (1836-1927, Pilgrims 1903) was Treasury Secretary in the
cabinets of Presidents McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt, 1897-1902,
in which capacity he opposed silver in the monetary system. Before
going to Treasury he was president of the First National Bank of
Chicago, and after Washington he became president of United States
Trust Company on Wall Street. He was a three-time president of the
anti-silver American Bankers Association (ask any member how they
feel as to remonetization of silver). Gage was first president of
the Chicago Bankers Association, twice president of the Civic
Federation of Chicago and a trustee of the Carnegie Institution of
Washington. Gage took the financial editor of the Chicago Tribune,
Frank Vanderlip, and got him into the banking business as his
assistant at Treasury. Recall that Pilgrim Society member Vanderlip
was at the Jekyll Island, Georgia meeting where the
Morgan-Rockefeller interests finalized plans for the Federal Reserve
System! Gage--
Frank Arthur
Vanderlip (1864-1937, Pilgrims 1903) became vice president of the
Stillman-Rockefeller dominated National City Bank, in 1901. By 1909
he was president of the bank. Page 1268 of the 1897-1942 Who’s Who
says he “has resigned from numerous directorates.” He was a trustee
of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching
(one-world viewpoints); New York University; Massachusetts Institute
of Technology; and chairman, Scarborough School. He was on the
executive committee of the New York State Chamber of Commerce and
wrote “What Next In Europe” (1922) and “Tomorrow’s Money” (1934).
In “Secrets of the Federal Reserve” (1983) Mullins described him on
page 19 as what we’d call in plain language, a liar---below---
In “America’s
60 Families” (1937) Lundberg tells us on page 121---
“The Jekyll
Island conference took place in the atmosphere of an elaborate
conspiracy. The trip to Georgia was made in a private car chartered
by Aldrich, and the travelers all used assumed names so that the
train crew would not establish their identities. For a long time
there was no public knowledge that such a conclave had been held.”
Richard Aldrich
McCurdy (1835-1916, Pilgrims 1903) was related to Senator Nelson
Aldrich (Pilgrims 1903), architect of the Federal Reserve System.
After Harvard, McCurdy practiced law with Lucius Robinson, who later
became Governor of New York. McCurdy held interests in the Mutual
Life Insurance Company of New York, was a director of Guaranty Trust
and practiced law with Lucius Robinson, who became a New York
Governor. Robert H. McCurdy, his son, also appeared in the 1903
list. Richard’s sister Gertrude married Gardiner Hubbard
(1822-1897) who was the financial backer of Alexander Graham Bell.
In fact Hubbard’s daughter Mabel became Mrs. Bell.
C.W. Bonynge
(Pilgrims 1903) wasn’t listed in the 1897-1942 Who Was Who.
However, Robert William Bonynge, evidently a relative, was listed.
We learn that R.W. was a Republican Congressman from Colorado
(mining state turncoat), 1905-1909, and was a member of Senator
Aldrich’s National Monetary Commission, campaigning for a central
bank, 1909-1912. According to page 116 of the 1897-1942 Who Was
Who, he “delivered addresses throughout U.S. in behalf of monetary
reform under auspices National Citizens League.” Some of those
National Citizens were probably Pilgrim Society members. Paul
Bonynge (deceased 1937) was a New York State Supreme Court justice,
1933-1937.
Jefferson
Monroe Levy (deceased 1924, Pilgrims 1903, Who Was Who, 1897-1942,
page 724) was “author and first to introduce Reserve Bank Bill, 62nd
and 63rd Congresses” (1911-1915) and “inherited
“Monticello,” the home of Thomas Jefferson.” Jefferson would be
chagrined to know that a paper money mobster came into possession of
his estate! For “Reserve Bank Bill” read “Federal Reserve Bank
Bill.” According to
www.savingmonticello.com Jefferson Levy “made a fortune in real
estate and stock speculation. By the turn of the 20th
century, he was one of the wealthiest men in America.” Jefferson
Levy---
Grover
Cleveland (Pilgrims 1903) became President of the United States in
1884, running against James Gillespie Blaine, who himself later
turned up a Pilgrim Society member! Cleveland was again elected
President in 1892. According to the 1897-1942 Who Was Who, page
231---
“In 1896 the
Democratic Party having declared for the free coinage of silver in
the platform of its National Convention, Mr. Cleveland withheld his
support from the ticket and platform. Elected trustee, holding a
majority of the stock of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of
U.S., June 10, 1905. Member executive committee, National Civic
Federation. Trustee Princeton University.” Silver enemy
Cleveland---
Cleveland was
known to be on terms with J.P. Morgan (Pilgrim Society) whose banks,
along with the other huge Pilgrim Society run institutions, waged
war on silver as money since at least 1878. Other Pilgrim Society
members were lurking behind the National Civic Federation. Domhoff
in “The Higher Circles” (1970) said the National Civic Federation
“is crucial to an understanding of how the power elite shaped social
legislation in the twentieth century.” For more on the National
Civic Federation see

Henry Clay
Pierce (1849-1927, Pilgrims 1903) was chairman of National Railways
of Mexico; chairman of Pierce Oil Company, St. Louis; chairman,
Tennessee Central Railroad; and president, Pierce Investment Trust.
According to
www.picturehistory.com ---
“Henry Clay
Pierce was a businessman and financier who was considered one of
the four richest men in the country. His business interests
included railroads, oil and finance. Pierce Oil later became a
subsidiary of Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Co.”
According to
Lundberg in “America’s 60 Families,” page 124---
“Percy N.
Furber, president of Oil Fields of Mexico, Ltd., in 1918 told C.W.
Barron “the Mexican revolution was really caused by H. Clay
Pierce” who owned thirty five percent of the stock of the
Pierce-Waters Oil Company, which Standard Oil controlled through a
sixty-five percent stock interest, and was a confidential
Rockefeller henchman. “He wanted to get my property,”
said Furber, who continued---“H. Clay Pierce demanded of Diaz that
he should take off the taxes on oil imports” to enable Standard Oil
to bring in products from the United States. “Diaz refused.
Pierce put up the money behind Francisco Madero and started the
revolution.”
Here we find
another case of a Pilgrim Society member crushing the fortune of a
non-member---even going so far as to use revolutionary violence to
oust a foreign head of state to have his destructive way! This
Pierce was a real life, overblown version of the “Mr. Pierce” of
“The War Wagon” (1966), a film about a gangster who took over land
owned by John Wayne after railroading him into prison, then found
large amounts of gold there. This is another instance of what The
Pilgrims mean when they talk about “the seizure of the wealth
necessary.” Charles Beecher Warren at age 33 became a charter member
of The Pilgrims in 1903, general counsel to the National Bank of
Commerce of Detroit. He was a member of the Republican National
Committee, 1912-1920 and Ambassador to Japan, 1921-1923, when he was
appointed to lead the High Commission to Mexico that negotiated the
terms for resumption of diplomatic relations, May through September
1923, then became Ambassador to Mexico. The money powers sent him
there to serve their interests after the destabilizations and
revolutions. Warren was protégé of Donald McDonald Dickinson
(1846-1917, Pilgrims 1903) was a member of the Democratic National
Committee, 1880-1885 (the Society realizes the importance of
controlling the nominating process at the national level) and was
Postmaster General of the United States, 1887-1889 and president of
the Detroit Museum of Art. Warren was a contender for the Attorney
General position in the Coolidge administration.
John George
Milburn (1851-1930, Pilgrims 1903, born at Sunderland, England) was
an attorney and presided over the Pan-American Exposition at
Buffalo, New York, in 1901. He was president of the Pan-American
Exposition Company, representing business interests targeting the
southern hemisphere. According to the 1897-1942 Who Was Who, page
837, “President McKinley was taken to his house after fatal assault
and died there.” I’ve seen allegations in various places that
McKinley wasn’t willing to warm up to Great Britain---the reason for
his demise? Milburn was a director of Chase National Bank
(anti-silver); American Express; National Park Bank; and New York
Life Insurance Company. Milburn was a trustee of Columbia
University, Barnard College, and the New York Public Library. He
was president of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York,
1919-1920. Milburn was a member of the Board of Commissioners of
Statutory Consolidation, which consolidated all the legal statutes
of New York State dating to 1777.
Elijah Watt
Sells (1858-1924, Pilgrims 1903) was employed by various railroads
owned by wealthy operators including the Vanderbilts, who through
front men such as Chauncey Depew and Lindsay Russell, founded The
Pilgrims along with British interests (Rothschilds and Windsors,
British Crown). Page 1103 of the 1897-1942 Who Was Who stated---
“With late
Charles Waldo Haskins, was selected by joint commission of 53rd
Congress, 1893, to effect a revision of the accounting system of
U.S. Govt. with a view to simplifying and expediting public business
(the most extensive and important undertaking of the kind in the
history of the country). At the conclusion of this work, 1895,
established firm of Haskins & Sells, of which is now senior member.”
Arthur Bevins
Foye (born 1893, Pilgrims 1969 list) was senior partner at Haskins &
Sells. He was a past president of the Far-East America Council of
Commerce & Industry; trustee, New York University; director,
Pan-Africa Society; and trustee, U.S. Council of the International
Chamber of Commerce (Who’s Who, 1966, page 713).
John B.
McDonald (1844-1911, Pilgrims 1903) was an agent of the Vanderbilts
in building tunnels, bridges, railroads and subways in New York and
elsewhere. He was president of the Interstate Tunnel Railway and
vice president of Interborough Metropolitan Transit---
George Fisher
Baker (1840-1931, Pilgrims 1903) was head of the powerful First
National Bank of New York and held interests in many industries from
railroads to water to insurance and was a director of “numerous
companies and “many other corporations” (Who Was Who, 1897-1942,
page 47). One of those was the First National Bank of Chicago.
Others included American Telephone & Telegraph; First Security
Company; New York & Long Branch Railroad; Jersey City Water Supply
Company; Erie Railroad; New York Central Railroad; West Shore
Railroad; Pullman Company; Astoria Light & Power; United States
Steel; New Jersey General Security Company; Consolidated Gas; and
Mutual Life Insurance. His grandson appeared in the 1969 list and
the middle Baker was also almost certainly a member (also a director
of General Motors); he was father in law to John Mortimer Schiff,
third generation Pilgrim Society member at Kuhn, Loeb & Company,
which later merged with Lehman Brothers, another Pilgrim Society
investment bank. The Baker fortune was estimated at some $500
million as of 1924 (“America’s 60 Families,” page 26).
George
Walbridge Perkins (1862-1920, Pilgrims 1903) became a partner in
J.P. Morgan & Company in 1901 and was a director of International
Mercantile Marine Company; United States Steel; Florida East Coast
Railway; American Alliance Insurance; Great American Insurance;
Northern Securities Company; and International Harvester, and
trustee, Vassar College. “America’s 60 Families” by Lundberg, page
97, told how Perkins, towards the close of the Wilson
administration, chose Will H. Hays, “a small town Indiana lawyer”
and made him chairman of the Republican National Committee.
Robert A.C.
Smith (deceased 1933, Pilgrims 1903) chairman, White Rock Mineral
Springs Company; New Niquero Sugar Company; president, Connecticut
Railway & Lighting Company; director, Brothers Valley Coal Company;
Connecticut Light & Power Company; Mohawk Hudson Power Corporation;
Connecticut Electric Service Company “and officer or director
various other corporations” (1897-1942 volume, page 1148) He was
also New York Dock Commissioner.
Charles Tyson
Yerkes (1837-1905, Pilgrims 1903) was listed on page 1389 of the
1897-1942 Who Was Who where we read---
“Was prominent
in street railway operations in Philadelphia from 1860, and after
1886, in Chicago, where he was long at head of the North and West
Side and several suburban and elevated railway corporations; later
engaged in financing, organizing and managing extensive system of
underground railway in London. Gave to University of Chicago a
telescope costing about $400,000 (then one of the largest and finest
in the world, located in the Yerkes Observatory at Lake Geneva,
Wisconsin.)”
That was Yerkes,
above, sporting a British Empire looking mustache and missing only a
pith helmet and a cup of Lipton tea. Even as a dead man Charlie
couldn’t stand to be known as a Pilgrim Society member, so it fell
to someone else to turn over the rock so interested parties could
see what was hiding underneath. Yerkes owned two-thirds of the
street railway system of Chicago.
William Henry
Crocker (1861-1937, Pilgrims 1903) was the son of Charles Crocker of
the Southern Pacific Railroad and associated interests, who passed
away in 1888 leaving a fortune of at least $40 million, a lot of
money by most standards today, a blue whale of a lot of money 117
years ago. William’s brother in law was Charles B. Alexander of the
International Banking Corporation who was a Pilgrim Society member
as of the 1927 Who’s Who. William Crocker was president of Crocker
First National Bank of San Francisco; Crocker Investment Company;
Provident Securities; Pacific Improvement Company; director, Pacific
Telegraph & Telephone; Pacific Mutual Life Insurance; Pacific Gas &
Electric and Metropolitan Life Insurance. He was a regent of the
University of California and a 33rd degree Mason.
Lundberg in “America’s 60 Families” page 383 had this comment---
“Among the
trustees of the University of California are William H. Crocker,
descendant of a member of the lawless Crocker-Huntington-Stanford
railroad group.”

Henry Crocker, and the Crocker Mansion in San Francisco--\
Myron T.
Herrick (1854-1929, Pilgrims 1903) was an Ohio attorney who was
chairman of the Society for Savings, Cleveland. As he moved upwards
in the power structure he became chairman of Union Carbide & Carbon
Company (now part of Dow Chemical, Silver Users Association).
Herrick was a director of New York Life Insurance Company and was a
Presidential elector for Ohio in 1892 and was a member of the
Republican National Committee. Herrick was Ambassador to France,
1912-1914, and again beginning in 1921. He served as a president of
the American Bankers Association (paper money mob, anti-silver) and
was on close personal terms with President McKinley and before that,
while McKinley was Governor of Ohio. Herrick was a trustee of the
Carnegie Institution of Washington—
Benjamin Newton
Duke (1855-1929, Pilgrims 1903) was the power behind the ruthless
monopoly known as the American Tobacco Company and was president of
Durham & Southern Railway and Erwin Cotton Mills, and director of
Durham Realty and Southern Power Company---
The Dukes
today control the huge Duke Endowment which listed $2.3 billion in
admitted assets at year-end 2003; Duke University; and Duke Energy,
the dominant electric utility in the Mid-Atlantic States. According
to Lundberg in “America’s 60 Families,” page 357---
“Duke, the
tobacco king, distributed his property before his death, thus
avoiding inheritance or estate taxes. One-third was kept under Duke
control by segregation in the Duke Endowment, for the benefit of
Duke University. Controlling blocks of tobacco and public utility
stocks were given to the Endowment, to be used in the domination of
certain companies. THE GREATEST SECRECY SURROUNDS THE DUKE
ENDOWMENT.”
According to
Lundberg in “The Rich And The Super Rich” (1968, page 190), as of
then, Duke ownership of Duke Power Company (now Duke Energy) was
82%. As of 2003, Duke Energy had annual revenues of $59.5 billion
(billion, not million). Williamson Whitehead Fuller (1858-1934,
Pilgrims 1903) was general counsel to the American Tobacco Company
“and many other corporations” (Who Was Who, 1897-1942, page 432).
Edward Julius
Berwind (1848-1936, Pilgrims 1903) was chairman of Berwind-White
Coal Mining; president, Wilmore Coal Company; Ocean Coal Company;
Kentland Coal & Coke Company; Wilmore Steamship Company; “also
officer or director numerous other corporations.” (Who Was Who,
1897-1942, page 89). Some of those entities included---Subway
Realty Company; Wilmore Steam Ship Company; Clyde Steam Ship
Company; Atlantic, Gulf & West Indies Steam Ship Lines; Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railway; Prescott & Phoenix Railway; Cuba Railroad
Company; Colorado & Santa Fe Railway; Interborough Rapid Transit;
New York & Long Island Traction Company; Long Island Electric
Railway Company; Rapid Transit Subway Construction; New York &
Queens County Railroad; New River & Pocahontas Consolidated Coal;
Archer Coal Depot; Maritime Coaling Company; Puerto Rico Coal;
Mutual Life Insurance; Windber Pennsylvania Trust Company; Berwind
Bank; Guaranty Safe Deposit Company; Newport Trust Company; Guaranty
Trust Company of New York; North British & Mercantile Insurance; and
Girard Trust, an institution founded by Stephen Girard, who was in
league with the British as head of the first Bank of the United
States till 1811. According to Myers in “History of the Great
American Fortunes” (pages 74, 76 & 77), speaking of Girard---
“The grand
climax of the galaxy of American fortunes during the period from
1800 to 1831 was that of Girard. He built what was looked up to as
the gigantic fortune of ten millions of dollars and far over-topped
every other strainer for money except Astor, who survived him
seventeen years, and whose wealth increased during that time to
double what Girard left. During the British occupation of
Philadelphia Girard was charged by the revolutionists with extreme
double-dealing and duplicity in pretending to be a patriot, and
taking the oath of allegiance, while secretly trading with the
British. None of his biographers deny this. While merchant after
merchant was being bankrupted from disruption of trade, Girard was
incessantly making money. Not the least of his profits came from
slave trading. From this time on his profits were colossal. His
wealth was overshadowingly great, his power immense. He was a
veritable dictator in the realms of finance; a repellant man, with
his devil’s eye, who rode roughshod over every obstacle in his
path. His every movement bred fear; his veriest word could bring
ruin to anyone who dared cross his purposes. Appeals to him for aid
went unanswered. No poor man ever came full-handed from his
presence.”
Lundberg in
“America’s 60 Families,” page 182, noted---
“On the board
of the Guaranty Trust Company, directing its participation in
situations like the Van Sweringen bubble, sat E.J. Berwind, head of
a great nineteenth century coal fortune.”
The Berwind
fortune was reckoned at some $150 million in 1924 dollars (Lundberg,
page 26). So we see that Berwind, who became a member of the
premier British Empire organization---The Pilgrims---had a hand in
Girard Trust, a major banking establishment left by the second most
important British collaborator of the nineteenth century (Astor was
the most important). The Berwinds were involved with the
Rockefellers (page 94) and also with J.P. Morgan & Company (page
237) and Lundberg said (page 323) that the Berwinds with their
“tremendous accumulation” (page 36)---
“have no
reasonable claim to significant philanthropic intention at all.”
Harvard
Business School’s list of Great American Business Leaders of the 20th
Century said of Berwind---
“Berwind was
reputed to be the world’s largest individual owner of coal mining
properties. Berwind also was considered a hard-driving
businessman. He refused to bargain with employees.”
Berwind was a
member of the Bankers Club (New York) and the Pilgrim Society
offshoot, the Japan Society.
Moses Taylor
(1871-1928, Pilgrims 1903) was with Kean, Taylor & Company,
investments. The Kean in that firm could be an ancestor of Thomas
Kean, ex New Jersey governor who headed the 9-11 Commission, a
cover-up exactly similar to the Warren Commission on the Kennedy
assassination. Taylor was chairman of Lackawanna Steel;; president,
New York & Queens Gas Company; and director, Westchester & Bronx
Title & Mortgage; Lake Champlain & Moriah Railroad; South Buffalo
Railway; and Tilly Foster Iron Mines. According to Eustace Mullins
in “Secrets of the Federal Reserve” (1983, page 64), Taylor’s father
was worth $50 million---as of 1864! The Taylors owned many shares
in the National City Bank---a predecessor to today’s Citigroup.
Time, January 31, 2005, page 21 reported the death of Walter B.
Wriston, “financial guru who as chairman of Citicorp from 1967 to
’84 redefined the way Americans use banks,” and remained silent as
to his Pilgrim Society activities. In 1812 the City Bank, later
called the National City Bank, opened up for business in the same
building where the defunct (as of 1812) first Bank of the United
States was located---a British affiliated institution.
James Robert
Keene (1838-1913, Pilgrims 1903) appeared on page 659 of the
1897-1942 Who Was Who---
“Stockbroker
etc; born London, England, 1838; went with family to California,
1852; became miner in California and Nevada, later speculator in
mining stocks, San Francisco; accumulated $6,000,000 during
“bonanza” period of the 70’s; was president San Francisco Stock
Exchange; since 1877 an operator on Wall Street, New York.”
Thomas F. Walsh
(1851-1910, Pilgrims 1903) had a brief profile in the 1897-1942 Who
Was Who, which, like all other listed 1903 Pilgrim Society members
in the United States, failed to state that fact in the biographical
volume! Page 1294 reads---
“Engaged in
mining business, made close study of geology, mineralogy,
metallurgy, the deposition of ore bodies and the development and
treatment of ores and was instrumental in introducing new methods of
treatment. Developed, equipped and is large owner in the Camp Bird
mines, Ouray, Colorado. One of the National Commissioners to Paris
Exposition, 1900.”
According to
www.miningfoundationsw.org Walsh was in on the Black Hills,
South Dakota gold rush in 1874; in 1877 he bought the Grand Hotel in
Leadville, Colorado; and set up operations in 1881 at the Camp Bird
Mine (near the Sneffels range) west of Ouray. We read---
“Walsh’s
daughter Evalyn married Edward Beal McLean, heir to the Washington
Post and Cincinnati Enquirer and they became co-owners of the
infamous Hope diamond. The Walshes were friends of presidents and
kings and Mr. Walsh represented the United States at the World
Exposition in Paris, having been appointed to that position by the
President.”
Thomas Walsh
was associated with another Pilgrim Society member, John Hays
Hammond, who met Cecil Rhodes in South Africa during the British war
against Dutch settlers over control of mineral wealth. The
President sent Hammond to the Royal Coronation in London of King
George V in 1911. The 1929 Who’s Who, page 949 tells us that
Hammond was a “special expert with the U.S. Geological Survey in
1880, examining California gold fields.” After that he went into
Mexico, returned to San Francisco and became a consultant to Union
Iron Works, and Central and Southern Pacific Railways. We read
further that he---
“Has examined
properties in all parts of world; became consulting engineer for
Barnato Brothers 1893, and later for Cecil Rhodes, of whom he became
a strong supporter; consulting engineer, Consolidated Gold Fields of
South Africa, British South Africa Company and Randfontein Estates
Gold Mining Company; went to London and became interested in many
mining companies; returned to U.S., 1900, and became associated with
some of the most important financial groups in this country,
purchasing and promoting several of the largest and most valuable
mining properties in U.S. and Mexico; has also been very active in
various interests outside of mining, including hydro-electric
enterprises, irrigation projects, etc.”
Hammond was
president of the American Institute of Mining Engineers in 1907-1908
and was president of the Panama Pacific Exposition in 1912; chaired
the World Court Congress 1914-1915, which created the World Court, a
strategy to undermine sovereignty of individual nations and shift
power to his British-American Secret Society. He chaired the United
States Coal Commission, 1922-1923 and was president of the National
League of Republican Clubs. Hammond was on a personal basis with
Presidents Grant, Hayes, Taft, Theodore Roosevelt and Coolidge. His
son John Jr. was the inventor of the remote control, did extensive
radio research for the Navy and held more patents than anyone since
Thomas Edison. Hammond Sr. omitted details of his Pilgrim Society
activities from Who’s Who---
Another Pilgrim
Society member active with Thomas Walsh was Alfred Chester Beatty,
who appeared on page 247 of the 1927 Who’s Who as a graduate of the
Columbia University School of Mines. He was with the Guggenheim
interests who, according to Stephen Birmingham in “Our Crowd” (1967,
page 24) became “staggeringly rich” and had an “explosive
presence.” Beatty was an engineer at Chino Copper mines;
Esperanza Mining; Utah Copper; and Camp Bird Limited. He was a
director of Chino Copper; Guggenheim Exploration; Nevada
Consolidated Copper; New River Collieries; Ray Consolidated Copper;
Columbia Trust Company; J.G. White Engineering; then moved to London
where he became chairman of African Selection Trust Limited; Tetuihe
Mining Corporation; Burma Corporation Limited; Bwana M. Kubwa Copper
Mining; Consolidated African Selection Trust Limited; Metals
Production Ltd.; Rhodesian-Congo Border Concessions; Southern
Rhodesia Base Metals Corporation; and Venezuelan Oil Concessions.
Beatty operated out of “Baroda House,” London, headquarters of some
of the British exploitation of India and the Far East. I advise any
concerned mining shareholders present at annual general meetings to
ask the question, are any senior members of management or directors
members of The Pilgrims, because if that’s the case, the rank and
file are at risk of a financial dislocation.
George Gray
Ward (1844-1922) turned up as a Pilgrim Society member about 1904
(2002 book, page
77). Ward’s listing in the 1897-1942 volume, page 1297 is as
follows---
“Capitalist;
born Hertfordshire, England, December 30, 1844; educated at
Cambridge. Associated with late John W. Mackay in organizing the
Atlantic and Pacific submarine cables of the Commercial Cable
Company; general manager Commercial Pacific Cable Company; vice
president Postal Telegraph Cable Company; The Mackay Companies;
president U.S. & Hayti Cable Company. Decorated by Emperor of
Germany with decoration of Royal Prussian Crown, 1900, in connection
with laying submarine cable between U.S. and Germany, and by Emperor
of Japan with insignia of Commander of the Rising Sun, 1906, on
completion of cable between U.S. and Japan.”
Page 763 of the
volume listed John William Mackay (deceased 1902), Ward’s business
partner---
“Capitalist;
born Dublin Ireland, November 28, 1831; moved with family to New
York, 1840; learned shipbuilding trade; went to California, 1851; to
Nevada, 1860; engaged in mining; had two-fifths share in “Bonanza”
mines of the Comstock Lode, which made him one of the richest men in
the world. Established (with Messrs. Flood and Fair) Nevada Bank,
San Francisco, becoming its president; established (with James
Gordon Bennett) the Commercial Cable Company.”
Bennett was
owner of the New York Herald. William K. Vanderbilt Jr. of one of
the founding families of The Pilgrim Society, married California
Senator James Fair’s daughter, linking the Comstock silver strike
fortune with the Vanderbilts. Lundberg (1937) noted the fortune was
“based upon the fabulous Ophir silver mine.” Darius Mills was
another who made a huge fortune in Nevada mining silver. Whitelaw
Reid, Pilgrim Society member, publisher of the New York Tribune and
Ambassador to Britain, 1905-1913 was Mills son in law. His
grandsons, Ogden Reid, Ambassador to Israel, 1959-1961 and U.S.
Congressman, and Whitelaw Reid, both became Pilgrim Society members
and both were members of Book & Snake Society (Yale). Ogden Mills
(Pilgrim Society), grandson of Darius Mills, was Treasury Secretary
1932-1933 and inherited $40 million from his grandfather, who opened
the National Gold Bank in San Francisco in 1840---first bank west of
the Rocky mountains---helped finance the Southern Pacific Railroad
(another Pilgrim Society operation) and was first president of the
Bank of California in 1864.
Charles
Hamilton Sabin was identified by Congressman Thorkelson (referred to
previously) as a member. Page 2007 of the 1933 Who’s Who---in which
he was “underground” or incognito (silent as to his status as a
Pilgrim) shows he was a director of the Mackay Companies and
Commercial Cable Company. Sabin was a director of numerous large
corporations such as Shell Oil; Owens-Illinois Glass Company;
Inspiration Consolidated Copper; International Mercantile Marine;
Air Reduction Company; Vanadium Corporation and others and was
president of Morgan Guaranty Trust. The 1943 Who’s Who showed Cecil
Parker Stewart (Pilgrims U.S.), Canadian born, as another Mackay
director, plus the expected number of other directorships such as
American Merchant Marine; U.S. Marine & Foreign Agencies; American
Cable & Radio; Lawyers Title Corporation; Pilot Reinsurance;
Atlantic Coast Fisheries; Bloedel Lumber Mills; All-America
Corporation; Electric Ferries; Securities Corporation General;
United States Life Insurance; Bondholders Protective Committee and
others. The 1979 Who’s Who, page 2575, showed incognito Pilgrim
Society member Warren Lee Pierson (1969 leaked list) as president of
Commercial Cable Company and Mackay Radio & Telegraph. Did you
notice the price run-up in molybdenum lately? Pierson (decorated by
7 nations) was a director of Molybdenum Corporation and with Pilgrim
Society member Charles C. Tillinghast Jr., ran Trans World Airlines
after Pilgrim Society members David Rockefeller and Frederic H.
Brandi ousted nonmember Howard Hughes (see February 2005 installment
in this series). Pierson was a delegate to the Bretton Woods
Conference in 1944, which did so much to move us towards a full fiat
currency system.
Here we’ve seen
that Pilgrim Society members and their partners were directly linked
to the great Nevada silver rush. Yet the Society was behind the
creation of the Federal Reserve and attacks on the use of silver as
money. Apparently it was OK for them to make fortunes mining
silver. If WE start to do so---at that point, it will NOT be OK
with The Pilgrim Society for us to do well in silver---because we’re
not members!
Charles
Augustus Peabody (1849-1931, Pilgrims 1903) was the product of two
wealthy old-line families. His mother was Julia Caroline
Livingston, of an old Colonial times fortune. Gustavus Myers in
“History of the Great American Fortunes” described the founder of
the Livingston fortune, Robert Livingston (1654-1728), pages
44-45---
“Robert
Livingston, progenitor of a rich and potent family which for
generations exercised a profound influence in politics and
other public affairs, contrived to get together an estate which soon
ranked as the second largest in New York state and as one of the
greatest in the Colonies. In currying favor with one official after
another he was unscrupulous, dexterous and adaptable. He invariably
changed his politics with the change of administration. In less
than a year after his arrival he was appointed to an office which
yielded him a good income. This office he held for nearly half a
century, and simultaneously was the incumbent of other lucrative
posts. Offices were created by Governor Dongan apparently for his
sole benefit. His passion was to get together an estate which would
equal the largest. Extremely penurious, he loaned money at
frightfully usurious rates and hounded his victims without a
vestige of sympathy. Livingston was in collusion with Captain
Kidd, the sea pirate.”
“As a trader
and government contractor he made enormous profits; such was his
cohesive collusion with high officials that competitors found it
impossible to outdo him. A current saying of him was that he made a
fortune by “pinching the bellies of soldiers”---that is, as an army
contractor who defrauded in quantity and quality of supplies. By a
multitude of underhanded and ignoble artifices he finally found
himself the Lord of a manor sixteen miles long and twenty-four
broad. On this estate he built flour and saw mills, a bakery
and a brewery. In his advanced old age he exhibited great piety but
held on grimly to every shilling that he could and as long as he
could. When he died about 1728---the exact date is unknown---at the
age of 74 years, he left an estate which was considered of such
colossal value that its true value was concealed for fear of
further enraging the discontented people.”
Charles
Augustus Peabody’s father was Judge Charles Peabody, and might be a
relation to George Peabody, original U.S. partner of J.P. Morgan.
Charles Peabody was president of Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York; chairman executive committee, Illinois Central Railroad;
and director Georgia Railway Company; Atlantic Mutual Insurance;
Oregon Short Line Railroad; Union Pacific Railroad; Delaware &
Hudson Company; Central Georgia Railway; Church Pension Fund;
Farmers Loan & Trust; and the National City Bank. Edward Coleman
Delafield (born 1877) appeared in the 1960 Who’s Who, page 730,
showing both of his parents were of Livingston lineage---apparently,
a marriage of cousins---and in 1920 Delafield was president of the
Bank of America. After that he went to City Bank, New York, till
1937, when he formed Delafield & Delafield, a stock exchange
member. Delafield was a director of Virginia Railway; Fidelity &
Casualty Company; Pemeta Oil; J.G. White Engineering; General
Precision Equipment Corporation; Greenwich Savings Bank; Corona
Brewing Company; and National Dominican Brewery. He was a director
of Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research and a member of the
Descendants of Colonial Lords of Manors in America, a reflection on
his Livingston ancestry. He was also a member of the Society of the
Descendants of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, the
spirit of which was totally opposite that of his Pilgrim Society
activities! A likely relation, Louis L. Delafield was president of
the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, 1911-1912.
William Butler
Duncan (1830-1912, Pilgrims 1903) appeared in the 1897-1942 volume,
page 346. It reads “Banker, New York, 1851-1875; president,
1874-1888, chairman board of directors since 1888, Mobile & Ohio
Railroad Company. He owned large plantations in Mississippi and was
a major shareholder in the Bennington Vermont & Woodford Electric
Railway. He was the major shareholder in Atlantic & Great Western
Railway; Civil War General George McClellan was one of his business
partners. On January 25, 1873, Duncan paid $100,000 to buy the
entire assets of Lebanon Springs Railroad. As of 1908 he turned up
as president of The Pilgrims, New York.
Henry
Harrington Hall (1846-1906, Pilgrims 1903) was U.S. manager for
Northern Assurance of London; and Union & Crown Insurance Company of
London. President, Underwriters Salvage Company; director, State
Fire Insurance Company of Liverpool, England and Victoria Fire
Insurance Company. Notice the allusions to the British Crown in
those insurance companies!
John A. McCall
(1849-1906, Pilgrims 1903) was president of New York Life Insurance;
comptroller, Equitable Life Assurance Society; trustee, Continental
Trust Company and New York Security & Trust Company; director,
Central National Bank and First National Bank of New York.
Jacob Godfrey
Schmidlapp (1849-1919, Pilgrims 1903) was in the cigar and whiskey
business at Memphis, 1868-1874, operating a distillery; organized
the Export Storage Company; founded the Union Savings Bank & Trust
Company, 1890; and was a director of Equitable Life Assurance
Society; Degnon Construction; American Security Company; Electric
Securities Company; White Rock Springs Company; Piqua Ohio Malt
Company; Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and Montana Power Company;
president, Cincinnati Model Homes for Wage Earners; director,
Carnegie Peace Fund; treasurer, American Society for the Judicial
Settlement of International Disputes; trustee, Cincinnati Law
School. According to
www.53.com he was “one of the most respected and successful men
of his time”---
Chauncey
Mitchell Depew (1834-1928, Skull & Bones 1856, Pilgrims 1903,
executive committee) was a founder of the Society. Before anyone
says---aha—this proves Skull & Bones controls The
Pilgrims---nonsense. Depew was the only Bonesman out of a committee
of 26 founders so far identified of The Pilgrims, so you can see;
fewer than 4% of the founders were Skull & Bones members. Skull &
Bones, as I articulated elsewhere, was founded in 1832 as a British
Empire front, the same as The Pilgrims. Skull & Bones was founded
by William H. Russell of Russell & Company, opium dealers who had a
slice of the Chinese opium trade---which was absolutely dominated by
the British. Yale University itself takes its name from Elihu Yale,
who operated a British fort in India as an opium shipment depot to
China. Skull & Bones and The Pilgrims both represent the same
“forces,” those of greed and power. But Skull & Bones is not a
worldwide Society---The Pilgrims are worldwide, also having a base
in London. The Pilgrims claim to be “everywhere” and can back it
up. Bones is a U.S. organization only and the elite of the mother
country---England---aren’t members, but they are members of The
Pilgrims. In “The Empire Of The City---World Superstate” by Knuth
(1946), page 63, remarked---
“The guileless
implication of something spontaneous, magnificent and overwhelming
in this movement can be caustically exposed by referring to an
autographed copy of “Pilgrim Partners” by Sir Harry Brittain,
published in very limited edition in 1942. The sub-title of
the book is “Forty Years of British-American Fellowship” and one
critic stated in a review---“The Pilgrims, founded in 1902, with one
section in England, and one in America, was described some time ago
by a leading New York paper as “the most distinguished
international organization in the world.” Each incoming
American or British Ambassador receives his initial welcome from The
Pilgrims, and gives his first address to a Pilgrims gathering.”
As to sheer
power, The Pilgrims runs circles around Skull & Bones. Even The
Pilgrims direct subsidiary, the Council on Foreign Relations (with
which Bones interlocks) is far more powerful than Bones. Rhodes
Scholars, another key Pilgrim Society subset, appears more
influential than Bones (and will eventually be looked at). Across
all the organizations having identical nature---Trilaterals,
Bilderberg and all the rest, an interlock is maintained to prevent
any “drifting” away from master plans. While The Pilgrims had a
significant trace of Skull & Bones in their founding, it usually
appears that the lone individual in charge of the Russell Trust
Association (corporate name of Skull & Bones) is always also a
Pilgrim Society member! According to Webster Tarpley in “George
Bush—the Unauthorized Biography”---
“As of 1978,
all business of the Russell Trust Association was handled by its
lone trustee, Brown Brothers Harriman partner John B. Madden Jr.”
It seems the
Russell Trust Association has a “lone trustee” arrangement; and that
the position shifts over the years as the trustee becomes too
elderly to handle affairs. John Beckwith Madden Jr. is a member of
The Pilgrims. The 1978 Who’s Who, page 2049, showed him a director
of Merchant Properties Incorporated; Merchant Sterling Corporation;
Sterling Iron & Railway Company; Fuel Resources Incorporated;
Brooklyn Union Gas Company; Brooklyn Savings Bank; Orama Securities
Corporation; Mutual Life Insurance Company; and Freeport Minerals;
trustee James Foundation and Yale University. Page 2524 of the 1974
Who’s Who shows Pilgrim Society member Francis F. Randolph---of J. &
W. Seligman & Company (read about them farther along) was treasurer
of Russell Trust Association, 1942-1955. Since he was 53 as of
1942, it’s very safe to assume he was in The Pilgrims when he
assumed control of Bones finances. Randolph was a board member of
many insurance, railroad, and financial corporations. The reference
to “George Bush—the Unauthorized Biography” can be found at
www.trunkerton.fsnet.co.uk/skull_and_bones.htm and quite
astutely, Tarpley made the connection of Skull & Bones to
pre-existing British interests. Those same interests gave rise to
The Pilgrims and found willing American co-conspirators.
Returning to
Depew; he was a lawyer representing the immense Vanderbilt railroad
interests. He was a member of the New York Assembly, 1861-1862;
secretary of state of New York, 1863 and worked as an attorney for
the New York & Harlem Railroad beginning in 1866. Myers in “History
of the Great American Fortunes” (pages 318, 320 and 323) commented
on Commodore Vanderbilt’s chief agent and front man--
“Vanderbilt now
had a complete railroad system from New York to Chicago, with
extensive offshoots. From the “reform” Legislature of 1872
Vanderbilt secured all he sought. The act was so dexterously worded
that while not nominally giving a perpetual franchise, it
practically revoked the qualified parts of the charter of 1832. It
also compassionately relieved him of the necessity of having to pay
out about $4,000,000, in replacing the dangerous roadway by the
construction of a tunnel, by imposing that cost upon New York City.
His chief instrument during all those years was a general utility
lawyer, Chauncey M. Depew, whose specialty was to impress the public
by grandiloquent exhibitions of mellifluent spread-eagle oratory,
while bringing the “proper arguments” to bear upon legislators and
other public officials. Every one who could in any way be used, or
whose influence required subsidizing was, in the phrase of the day,
“taken care of.”
Myers (page
572) said the Vanderbilts were among the “monarchs of the land.”
Depew worked for other of the Vanderbilt railroads, including New
York Central & Hudson River Railroad; West Shore Railroad; and in
1898 became chairman of their New York Central Railroad. He was
placed on such boards as Western Union Telegraph (in which the
infamous Astors held large interests); Chicago & North West Railway;
Chicago, Saint Paul, Minneapolis & Ohio Railway Company; Canada
Southern Railway Company; “and numerous railway, banking and other
corporations.” He was a regent of the State University of New York,
1877-1904. President Benjamin Harrison wanted Depew as Secretary of
State, but he declined due to his railroad activities. The
Vanderbilts holdings in the United States were larger than what they
had elsewhere. He received 99 nominating votes at the Republican
Presidential Convention of 1888 during which he was a delegate at
large, and again in 1892; 1896; 1900; 1904; 1908; 1912; 1916; 1920
and 1924. Depew placed Benjamin Harrison in nomination for the
Presidency in 1888 and Levi P. Morton in 1896. Depew was a United
States Senator, 1899-1905 and in 1905-1911 and opened the Chicago
Exposition of 1893---
Alfred H. Smith
(deceased 1924, Pilgrims 1903) was an executive with the New York
Central & Hudson River Railroad who became president of New York
Central Lines, controlled by the Vanderbilts.
Samuel Reading
Bertron (1865-1938, Skull & Bones 1885, Pilgrims 1903) married
Caroline Harding and founded Bertron & Storrs, investment bankers,
Philadelphia and New York. Richard S. Storrs was listed in The
Pilgrims for 1969 and was a trustee of the Transatlantic Fund,
another British front. His daughter married into the Fahnestock
fortune, Wall Street investment bankers. Bertron was a director of
Atlantic Safe Deposit Company; National Surety Company; United Gas &
Electric Corporation; Electric Bond & Share Company; Wire Wheel
Corporation of America; New York Indemnity Company; San Juan Sugar
Company; and International Equities Corporation. President Wilson
appointed Bertron in 1917 to his Special Diplomatic Mission to
Russia, which existed to help the Bolsheviks remain in power.
Bertron then became chairman of the American-Russian Chamber of
Commerce, of which Pilgrim Society member Charles Coleman was
president. He was decorated by Rumania; Belgium; Italy and France
and was vice president of the War Relief Clearing House for France.
He worked with Senator McAdoo on the Excess Profit Tax Board for 4
years. McAdoo (Pilgrim Society—likely) became Treasury Secretary in
the Wilson administration and was conversant with the J.P. Morgan
interests. Could it be that elitists judge non-allied rich as
having excess profits to tax, whereas, such punitive measures are
never inflicted on THEM? The 1928-1929 Who’s Who, page 283, has
Bertron mentioning his Skull & Bones membership, but as to his
Pilgrim Society membership---he was “in the dark!”
Paul Drennan
Cravath (1861-1940, Pilgrims 1903) was a director of the Council on
Foreign Relations, 1921-1940. He married Agnes Huntington (1892)
and it’s unclear whether she was related to Collis P. Huntington
(deceased 1900) of the Southern Pacific Railway. Cravath was a
member of the Inter-Allied War Conference at Paris in 1917
representing the United States Treasury Department. He was advisor
to the American Mission of the Inter-Allied Council on War Purchases
and Finance, London and Paris, 1918. He received the Distinguished
Service Medal from the U.S. and was decorated by France, Rumania and
Italy. Cravath’s law partner starting in 1888 was Charles Evans
Hughes, who wasn’t listed as a charter Pilgrim in 1903, but may well
have been; at any rate, he did become one by 1924 (2002 book, page
114, probably earlier than that). Lundberg in “America’s 60
Families” page 129 said---
“In every
detail of his life Hughes was joined with the Wall Street
freebooters.”
The Wall Street
law firm of Cravath, Swaine & Moore is today an international
powerhouse in legal affairs.
Morris Ketchum
Jesup (spelled Jessup in the Pilgrims book, I believe the double “s”
to be correct, 1830-1908, Pilgrims 1903) was an “active banker,
1852-1884” and presided over the Chamber of Commerce of New York.
He was also president of the American Sunday School Union and the
Peary Arctic Club and the American Museum of Natural History. He
was a trustee of Union Theological Seminary and Syrian Protestant
College at Beirut, Lebanon. He was also trustee of the Peabody
Education Fund and the Rockefellers General Education Board. Jessup
was a director of Atlantic Mutual Insurance; Western Union Telegraph
and Metropolitan Trust Company.
Edwin Wilbur
Rice Jr. (1862-1935, Pilgrims 1903) became chairman of General
Electric Company, which appears to have occupied most of his time.
During his tenure its capitalization increased 426%. He was
decorated by France and Japan, with the Order of the Rising Sun. He
was president of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in
1917. His father was an extremely prominent clergyman---
Cassius Milton
Wicker (1846-1913, Pilgrims 1903) married Augusta, daughter of
Governor Augustus C. French of Illinois, June 5, 1872. He was
president of Dillon-Griswold Wire Company; Bankers Money Order
Association; Nassau Bond Company; North Shore Traction Company; vice
president, Washington Savings Bank; Fort Worth & Rio Grande Railway;
Colorado Eastern Railroad and director “various companies.” He was
president of the Chicago Society of New York and was a commissioner
of the Chicago Board of Trade.
Henry Clay
Evans (1843-1921, Pilgrims 1903) was chairman of the Chattanooga
Board of Education and twice mayor. He was a Congressman from
1889-1891. He was a delegate at large to the Republican National
Conventions, 1892 through 1916. He was U.S. Commissioner of
Pensions, 1897-1902 then American Consul General in London,
1902-1905. He was a trustee of Chattanooga University and the
University of Tennessee. He was the largest shareholder in
Chattanooga Car & Foundry Company; sole owner, Anchor Flour Mills,
largest in the South; and a large stockholder in Lookout Mountain
Inclined Railway Company; Roane Iron Company; Alabama & Chattanooga
Railroad; and Electric Light Company of Chattanooga.
Frank Spencer
Witherbee (1852-1917, Skull & Bones 1874, Pilgrims 1903) married
Mary Rhinelander on April 25, 1883. Myers in “History of the Great
American Fortunes” noted on page 90 that the Rhinelanders held the
third largest real estate fortune in the United States as of
the late 19th century. During the 1850’s and 1860s the
Rhinelanders, in collusion with corrupt officials, got “water
grants” worth countless millions around New York. Water grants were
grants of land submerged under shallow water, whose prospective
value, once filled and elevated, was tremendous. Myers commented
(pages 114- 115)---
“The methods by
which these men secured large areas of land, now worth huge sums,
were unquestionably fraudulent. Out of these water grants was
created property now worth hundreds of millions of dollars.”
Page 184---
“The
Rhinelander family derived rentals from a great number of tenement
houses. The Rhinelanders employed their great surplus revenues in
constantly buying more land. With true aristocratic aspirations,
they were not satisfied with mere plebeian American mansions,
gorgeous palaces though they were; they set out to find a European
palace with royal associations, and found one in the famous castle
of Schonberg, on the Rhine, near Oberwesel, which they bought and
where they ensconced themselves. How great the wealth of this
family was may be judged from the fact that one of the Rhinelanders---William---left
an estate valued at $50,000,000 on his death in December 1907.”
Page 205, the
Rhinelanders “systematically defrauded in taxes for many decades.”
Page 279---“The
Rhinelanders prudently kept in the background, and managed to loot
the city by operating through go-betweens.”
To return to
Mr. Witherbee, the Rhinelander-in-law and Pilgrim Society
member---starting in 1875, he owned iron ore mines, and was
president of Witherbee, Sherman & Company (possibly with Treasury
Secretary John Sherman, anti-silver activist); Witherbee was also
president of Cubitas Iron Ore Company; Lake Champlain & Moriah
Railroad; vice president, Cheever Iron Ore Company; director
Equitable Life Assurance Society; trustee, New York Life Insurance &
Trust Company; Fulton Trust Company; director, Central Hudson
Steamboat Company; Citizens National Bank at Port Henry, New York;
president, Troy Steel Company and vice president, Tennessee Coal,
Iron & Railroad Company. Several of those entities were taken over
by his Pilgrim Society associates at U.S. Steel. Witherbee was a
member of the Republican National Committee and was “frequently” a
delegate to national and state conventions and served as a
Presidential elector. He played a role in developing the New York
State Barge Canal and was a director of the American Iron & Steel
Institute. Another director was Alva Clymer Dinkey, Pilgrim
Society, who was right hand man to Pilgrim Society member Andrew
Carnegie.
Robert Fulton
Cutting (1852-1934, Pilgrims 1903) had this said of him on page 289
of the 1897-1942 volume---“Officer or director in numerous
corporations.” He was described as a “financier” and the volume
doesn’t give much more in the way of detail. Turning to the web we
see that Cutting gave money towards the founding of Berry College,
near Rome, Georgia. He was chairman of the New York Bureau of
Municipal Research and of the Citizens Union, which both appear to
have been exploitative fronts for large scale real estate investors
ripping off the public and the tax base. In 1885 Cutting was
treasurer of the national Episcopal Church in the United States. In
the U.S. branch, I see over the years that more members list
themselves as Episcopalians than any other single religious
affiliation, not really a surprise in view of its connections to the
Anglican Church of England!
www.anglocatholicsocialism.org says Cutting was a
“multi-millionaire,” hardly an unexpected fact. Cutting had his
sights set on the world stage with an eye for manipulation, along
with the other members of The Pilgrims. He was a member of the
Commission for Relief in Belgium (post World War I) and was a member
of the committee of the National Arbitration and Peace Congress. On
October 1, 1917, Cutting hosted the members of the Imperial Japanese
Mission to the United States. Other Pilgrim Society members were on
hand, including Andrew Carnegie’s chief agent, former Secretary of
State Elihu Root, and Percy Avery Rockefeller, director of over 50
corporations. Percy was John D. Rockefeller’s nephew, and caused
the investing public losses approaching $200 million in the Kreuger
swindle in 1932 (Kreuger committed suicide and Rockefeller went on
to other frauds “America’s 60 Families,” page 238). Root was at that
time, president of the warmongering Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace. The Japanese publicly stated they had no
intent to invade China, but that was only for public consumption.
Everyone present knew what was coming and was happy with the
knowledge.
Cutting was a
trustee of the Brookings Institution which, as documented elsewhere,
opposes silver use in the monetary system! At its website you find
that Brookings corresponded with various identified Pilgrim Society
members including Chauncey Depew; John D. Rockefeller and John
Bassett Moore, a high-powered attorney. Brookings went with Andrew
Carnegie and another member we just looked at, banker Jacob
Schmidlapp, as U.S. representatives to Germany for the 25th
anniversary celebration for the Kaiser. A current Brookings trustee
is Pilgrim Society member James D. Robinson III, retired chairman of
American Express who now heads RRE Ventures. Known to his Pilgrim
Society pals as “Jimmy three sticks,” Robinson comes from a
prominent Atlanta, Georgia banking family. He rubs elbows at
Coca-Cola Company ($20 billion) board meetings with Warren Buffett---almost
certainly a member. Jimmy is also a director of Bristol-Myers
Squibb (another $20 billion enterprise); Novell Incorporated
(billion range); First Data Corporation ($7 billion); Union Pacific
Corporation ($12 billion) Pinnacor Inc. and various private
technology firms including E-Duction Inc.; E-One Global; NetVendor
Inc.; Qpass Inc.; Returns Online Inc.; Screaming Media Inc.; ViaFone
Inc.; and chairman, Violy, Byorum & Partners Holdings. If these
private companies are successful and are taken public, this Pilgrim
Society member will emerge another confirmed multi-billionaire---
Harvard
graduate Robinson is a director of the Japan Society (forerunner to
the Trilateral Commission by 66 years) and is a member of the
anti-silver Brookings Institution. His grandfather became president
of the First National Bank of Atlanta in 1937 and was a director of
Georgia Power and Maryland Casualty and a member of the Jekyll
Island, Georgia Club (of Federal Reserve fame!) The middle Robinson
(Emory University trustee) became chairman of the First National
Bank of Atlanta in 1952 and was a director of Southern Bell
Telephone; Georgia International Life; and Scripto Inc., where he
knew Pilgrim Society member Douglas Fairbanks Jr. (which see below)
and was a member of The Links and Blind Brook Club, New York, well
interlocked with The Pilgrims. Robert S. Brookings served on the
War Industries Board in World War I as---get this---chairman of the
Price-Fixing Committee! (Actual nomenclature!) Brookings currently
has interlocks with the World Bank and Goldman Sachs---both opposed
to silver in the money system! According to
www.searchbarnesandnoble.com Cutting was “an aristocrat known to
some as the First Citizen of New York. His genealogy could be a
translator’s key to old New York. He was a Fulton and a Cutting,
but he was also a Bayard and a Livingston.”
In The Pilgrim
Society, all the genealogies and countless corporate cross-holdings
are all grown together like a strangling tumor, which has, unseen by
the public, spread across the landscape to far beyond all distant
horizons. That’s why their motto is “Here And Everywhere!” Myers
in “History of the Great American Fortunes” (page 43), recounted how
British Governor of New York Fletcher gifted Nicholas Bayard with
appropriated wealth---
“Nicholas
Bayard, of whom it is told that he was a go-between in arranging
with the sea pirates the price they should pay for Fletcher’s
protection, was another favored personage. Bayard was the recipient
of a grant forty miles long and thirty broad on both sides of
Schoharie Creek.”
Other Bayard
family tree members have surfaced in The Pilgrims in more recent
years, and Thomas F. Bayard was named U.S. Minister to Great Britain
in 1893. The third link between Pilgrim Society ancestors and ocean
going pirates was in the person of John Jacob Astor. Undoubtedly
the British branch has many more such links. Fulton Trust Company
was for many years the “largest of institutions that supervise
personal trusts” (“America’s 60 Families,” page 41) and as we saw,
Pilgrim Society member Frank Witherbee was a director and
Rhinelander relative, other huge real estate inheritors dating back
to Colonial times. Apparently Robert Fulton Cutting’s ancestors
were in league with the British; so it is natural that he would also
have been---
The Livingstons
were also intermarried with the Schuylers and also with the
Beeckmans. Schuyler is another name encountered across the year in
Pilgrim Society intermarriages. Myers tells us on page 44 of his
valuable reference work (speaking of the early 1700’s)---
“Henry Beeckman,
the astute and smooth founder of a rich and powerful family, was
made a magnate of the first importance by a grant from Fletcher of a
tract sixteen miles in length in Dutchess County, and also of
another estate running twenty miles along the Hudson and
eight miles inland. Likewise Peter Schuyler secured by Fletcher’s
patent, a grant fifty miles long in the Mohawk Valley. This
was a towering fortune for the period; in its actual command
of labor, necessities, comforts and luxuries it ranked as a power
of transcending importance.”
Montgomery
Schuyler, listed in the 1929 Who’s Who, was an heir to these
multiple fortunes dating back centuries, was very likely a Pilgrim
Society member (most do not so state) and listed himself as a
“director of various banks and corporations” after completing a
diplomatic career that took him to Russia, Serbia, Japan, Thailand
(Siam), Rumania, Mexico and El Salvador. He was a member of a
Pilgrim Society front, the American Society for International Law;
vice president, Order of Colonial Lords of Manors (British loyalist
orientation) and vice president, Society of Descendants of Colonial
Governors.
SOME NOTES ON
AUGUST BELMONT
The August
“Bellmont” listed as a 1903 New York member had to have been a Jr.
or Belmont II or Belmont 2nd, unless it was the original
Belmont in his late years, which could be the case. The original
August Belmont was written up to some extent in “Our Crowd” by
Birmingham (1967). Let’s take a look---
“In the Panic
of 1837 Belmont was able to perform a service which he would repeat
in subsequent panics, and which helped make him a friend to bankers
and to the United States Government. By negotiating large loans
from the Rothschilds, he was able to shore up United States debtor
banks. In other words, he was able, thanks to the hugeness of
the Rothschild reservoir of capital, to start out in
America operating his own Federal Reserve System.” (page 39)
The Panic of
1837 followed on the demise of the second Bank of the United States,
whose charter was not renewed by President Jackson. The money
powers retaliated by collapsing the financial system. In the act of
“shoring up debtor banks” the money powers over in London gained
more control here. This happened as Britain was readying to start
the first Opium War against China, for Chinese refusal to just stand
back and allow the British to poison their nation with opium. That
“trade” was fabulously profitable, with perhaps over 35 million
addicts! The British lacked sufficient military power to mount a
viable attack against both the United States and China, so they
chose China as it was regarded as more important; and also, since
matters in the “Colonies” could be dealt with by more subtle means.
It was exactly because we refused to renew the charter of the first
Bank of the U.S. in 1811, that the British started the War of 1812
and in which our “noble allies” who seek “British-American
friendship” and “Anglo-American understanding” burned Washington!
“It began to be
rumored that the Rothschilds had a reason for wanting Belmont out of
Europe. To what hideous Rothschild secret was he privy? There had
to be something. Why, if he was their representative, was his new
banking house not called N.M. Rothschild & Sons rather than August
Belmont & Company? The unfounded rumor started---and is still heard
today---that August Belmont was actually an illegitimate Rothschild
son.” (page 45)
“In the years
since his arrival Belmont had been so successful at channeling
Rothschild funds into the United States Treasury in return for
government securities that he was rewarded, in 1844, by being
appointed United States Consul General to Austria---a move designed
not only to provide Belmont with prestige but also to place him
close to the Vienna House of Rothschild where he could be of further
usefulness. When the state of Pennsylvania defaulted on $35 million
worth of state bonds held by British investors, including the
Rothschilds, Belmont, in Paris trying to place another U.S. Federal
Government loan, was told by Baron de Rothschild---“Tell them you
have seen the man who is at the head of the finances of
Europe, and that he has told you that they cannot borrow a
dollar. Not a dollar.” Still, the United States was too good a
customer---buying such items as railroad ties, in return for cotton
and wheat---for the Rothschilds to remain angry for long.” (pages
73-74)
In the process
of time the Vienna branch was consolidated into the Paris branch,
and London became the main Rothschild operations center. Probably
the reason for that was the worldwide power of the British Crown.
The two powers seem to have joined forces so as to not possibly
wreck each other. Belmont was the American Minister at The Hague,
1855-1858, page 145).
“Morgan,
Belmont and the Rothschilds formed an axis of financial
power.” (page 131)
“Then there was
the matter of J.P. Morgan. While Morgan was willing to participate
with the Seligmans on certain bond issues, he seemed a bit more
willing to do business with Belmont. Actually, Morgan, who
understood the Belmont-Seligman rivalry perfectly, was beginning to
use both men to suit his own needs, playing one against the other
whenever the opportunity arose. But Joseph (Seligman) was convinced
that Morgan’s freeze-and-thaw attitude toward him was simply because
he was Jewish and Belmont wasn’t.” (page 147)
Belmont made a
public pretense about making an “astonishing religion change” (page
144), apparently to win business being withheld because of animosity
towards his first background.
“There was one
area in which August Belmont excelled. Its name was Rothschild.
Belmont was not a spectacular, brilliant, or even interesting
financier. He made few, if any, great financial coups. But men
like Morgan liked to work with the Rothschilds, and August Belmont,
as their agent, was always there, collecting his percentage on the
money that passed back and forth. When smaller bankers turned to
him, he was never more than barely cooperative. When Goldman,
Sachs, for instance, first dreamed of establishing an international
operation, they approached a London firm called Kleinwort Sons &
Company, to see if an English connection could be arranged. Since
the Kleinworts did not know Sachs or Goldman, they discreetly
inquired of the Rothschilds for a report on the New York firm’s
standing. The Rothschilds didn’t know either, and passed the query
along t6o Belmont. Belmont took his time about replying, but
eventually sent back a note, via the Rothschilds, saying that
Goldman, Sachs & Company was “one firm about which nobody can say
anything against.” From a distance of years, this lofty comment
sounds like damning with faint praise. But apparently, coming from
Belmont, it was enough to reassure the Kleinworts. The connection
was established, and Goldman, Sachs & Company were almost
deliriously grateful to Belmont “for so generously indorsing
us”---an indication of the awe in which Belmont was held on Wall
Street.”
Page 158
discussed August Belmont’s participation in a syndicate that formed
the New York Railway Company planning to build an elevated railway.
His partners included Levi P. Morton (Pilgrims 1903); Charles
Tiffany (founder of Silver Users Association member, Tiffany &
Company); and John Jacob Astor (Pilgrims 1903). Page 159 notes that
by 1877 Belmont was on terms with John Sherman, U.S. Treasury
Secretary. Cyril H. Kleinwort, international banker based in London
whose ancestors profited from British Empire activities, was listed
in The Pilgrims of Great Britain circa 1969-leaked list. This gives
a hint as to the importance of financial connections in London. The
roots of the U.S. financial system are intertwined with London
institutions. This might be the first time you heard about the
Kleinwort Sons merchant bank, later called Kleinwort Benson
Lonsdale. But that connection is what made it possible for Goldman
Sachs Group to become a worldwide investment powerhouse, somewhat
bigger than Lehman Brothers (Pilgrim Society) and somewhat smaller
than Morgan Stanley (Pilgrim Society) and Merrill Lynch (Pilgrim
Society). Today Goldman has over 23,000 employees. The head of
Goldman Sachs International is Sir Peter Sutherland, member Pilgrims
of Great Britain and Bilderberg. Sutherland is also chairman of
British Petroleum, one of the five largest industrial corporations
in existence. Odds are great that Sir Peter is backing a
U.S./British strike against Iran soon, as his financial interests
are also linked to memberships in the New York Mercantile Exchange
and the International Petroleum Exchange in London. Neither Pilgrim
Society run organization wants to see Iran start a competing
exchange. The Pilgrims have always had their eyes on Iran! Russian
born Lazar Estrin, who came to the U.S. in 1916 at age 24 (probably
through ties to revolutionary funding) was with Westminster Bank
(National Westminster Bank, London) in 1915-1916, one of the three
leading British Empire banks---it is British Petroleum’s bank today;
then Estrin got on with Irving Trust Company in New York, and became
president of the Iran-America Chamber of Commerce, 1946-1950, and
again resuming in 1956 (Who’s Who, 1959). Sir Harry Brittain, a
founder of The Pilgrims, presented a photo he took on site at the
Anglo-Iranian Oil Company in his extremely scarce 1945 book (see
near end of article). Sutherland (director general of the World
Trade Organization, 1993-1995) is also the recipient of the David
Rockefeller (Pilgrim Society) Award---
Under World
Trade Organization auspices, the CODEX ALIMENTARIUS control over
health supplements including herbs, minerals and vitamins, is
rapidly approaching effect here in the United States. In effect in
Europe, one example comes from Norway where a bottle of zinc tablets
increased from $4 to $52---not counting cost to see a doctor to have
a prescription written! The Pilgrims Society continues to
“gradually absorb the wealth of the world” and to “seize the wealth
necessary,” let’s see how Americans like having to go to a doctor
for a prescription to buy what was a $3 bottle of gingko biloba
pills (for circulation) at a new price of perhaps over $40---or
anything else you can name. Best you stock up before May 2005
ends! So you can have a supply till the enraged public demands
restoration of Constitutional sovereignty in United States
territory, versus international bodies created by The Secret Society
of Pilgrims. See
www.iahf.com/world/ for details.
Kleinwort is
now known as Dresdner Kleinwort, the investment-banking arm of big
German bank, Dresdner Bank, and describes itself as a “major force
in global investment banking,” with 6,000 employees. The book,
“Kleinwort, Benson—The History of Two Families in Banking” came out
in 1997. Here’s an announcement from the City University in London
concerning the Sir John Cass Business School---
“In May 2003
the School was formally opened by Her Majesty The Queen, accompanied
by His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, and the Resource Centre
was a key area in the royal tour. In recognition of continuing
generous financial endowment by the Kleinwort Investment Trust, the
base from which library and computing services operate has been
named the Cyril Kleinwort Learning Resource Centre. This
development was marked by a small evening event in June attended by
members of the Kleinwort family in the presence of the
Vice-Chancellor of City University.”
The Wall Street
Journal, July 8, 1983, page 8, reported that the Sharps Pixley
subsidiary of Kleinwort Benson Ltd., was named as a defendant in
benefiting from the silver price crash that started in January 1980
due to the forced liquidation caused by COMEX management.
POLITICIANS AND
OTHER MEMBERS
Levi Parsons
Morton (1824-1920, Pilgrims 1903) whose second marriage was into the
Livingston family we had a look at, was commissioner of the Paris
Exposition of 1878. He was a Congressman from New York state,
1879-1881; United States Minister to France, 1881-1885; vice
President of the U.S., 1889-1893, and governor of New York,
1895-1896. He was a descendant of George Morton, of Yorkshire,
England, who was the financial agent in London for the Mayflower
Pilgrims, who arrived at Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1623. He
founded Levi P. Morton & Company, investment bankers, which became
Morton, Bliss & Company (we’ll look at Cornelius Bliss next); the
firm had a London correspondent, Morton, Chaplin & Company. He was
founder and president of Morton Trust Company and Fifth Avenue Trust
Company, of New York. Myers in “History of the Great American
Fortunes,” page 442 called Morton, Bliss & Company “conspicuous
bankers” and noted their involvement with the 1867 swindle known as
the Credit Mobilier, a railroad related fraud of which Myers said---
“The prospects
for profit and loot were unprecedentedly great.”
Lundberg in
“America’s 60 Families,” page 59, said that Morton, financial crook,
was “long entangled in many shady deals” and that he was in
with the J.P. Morgan interests. In 1886 Morton, along with the
Vanderbilts, approved Theodore Roosevelt’s nomination for Mayor of
New York (page 66). As of 1905 Morton was a trustee (page 80) of
the Equitable Life Assurance Society. Other trustees included
Edward Henry Harriman; Jacob Schiff; John Jacob Astor; Cornelius
Bliss; and Chauncey Depew---all Pilgrim Society members. Morton
Trust Company merged with Guaranty Trust in 1910. Levi P. Morton---
Cornelius
Newton Bliss (1833-1911, Pilgrims 1903) was Morton’s banking
partner. He had ties to the J.P. Morgan interests (page 64,
“America’s 60 Families” said Bliss ran a “slush fund” for J.P.
Morgan); he also received a $100,000 bribe from the Rockefellers for
favors (page 97). Bliss was Secretary of the Interior, 1897-1899
and became president of the New York Hospital. In 1881 Bliss became
the dominant partner in Bliss, Fabyan & Company, large textile mill
operators. He chaired the New York State Republican Committee,
1887-1888 and was Republican National Committee treasurer,
1892-1908. He participated in the Pan-American Conference, a far
ranging banker scheme to loot the nations to our South; and was a
director of Fourth National Bank; Central Trust Company; Home
Insurance Company; American Cotton Company; and American Surety
Company, in which the Rockefellers held a big interest. Bliss---
The 1927 Who’s
Who, page 293 showed William Henry Bliss (Pilgrims) who was United
States District Attorney at Saint Louis, 1872-1888, and became
general counsel to the huge Northern Pacific Railroad.
Leander
Hamilton McCormick (1859-1934, Pilgrims 1903) “Lived in London 17
years; traveler, inventor, art collector; author of over 100
inventions, including aeroplanes, aerial torpedo, motorcycles, a
watch which records time the world over, etc.” Other prominent
inventors have been members. Jean Ulyxes Koree (born Bucharest,
Rumania, 1894, Who’s Who, 1976, page 1766) was Rumanian Consul in
New York, 1920; and later became president of Development Finance
Corporation and Glycerine Corporation of America. Koree founded the
Museum of the City of New York and was cofounder of the Friends of
Rumania. Also a Knight Templar Mason and a member of the Order of
the Red Cross of Constantine, he was the inventor of “numerous
improvements on automatic firearms, airplanes, airplane equipment,
other mechanical devices; more recently invented and patented
therapeutic preparations for intramuscular or subcutaneous injection
and methods of making same.”
John Jacob
Astor (1864-1912, drowned on The Titanic, Pilgrims 1903) was heir to
the largest real estate fortune in existence. His mother was
Caroline Schermerhorn. Myers in “History of the Great American
Fortunes” (page 163) remarked---
“In 1853
William Astor married one of the Schermerhorn family. The
Schermerhorns were powerful New York City landholders; and if not
quite on the same pinnacle in point of wealth as the Astors, were at
any rate very rich.”
The 1897-1942
volume, page 34 says of John Jacob Astor (named after his
great-great grandfather)---
“Has invented
bicycle brake, pneumatic road improver, improved turbine engine,
vibratory disintegrator for getting power gas from peat, and
steamship chair held in place by suction cups.”
This Pilgrim
Society member who according to his own admission owned the “most
costly hotel in the world” (the Waldorf-Astoria, site of some
Pilgrim Society meetings) was another Harvard graduate, again
exploding the myth apparently promoted by over-eager Skull & Bones
devotees that “all powerful men come from Yale only.” Take note
also that current endowment figures for Harvard are $22.6 billion
versus Yale at $12.7 billion---what, should it therefore be inferred
that Yale is therefore only 56% as influential as Harvard?
Charlemagne
Tower (1848-1923, Pilgrims 1903) was a Philadelphia lawyer starting
in 1878 and became president of Duluth & Iron Range Railroad and
managing director of Minnesota Iron Company. In 1897-1899 he was
Ambassador to Austria; to Russia, 1899-1902; then to Germany,
1902-1908. Tower held extensive interests in the Northern Pacific
Railroad, along with Lord Strathcona, a personal friend of the Duke
of Connaught, the King’s uncle; the Lord was British High
Commissioner in Canada and a founder of The Pilgrims in 1902. Tower
retained the services of Duluth, Minnesota banker George Stone, and
they brought in a government surveyor, who was undoubtedly bribed to
describe the prospective mineral areas as “swampland,” successfully
devaluing the price. 20,000 acres were bought, then another 6,800.
Stone lobbied a bill through the state legislature to fix a royalty
of one cent per ton shipped (not one percent). From 1878 to 1880
demand for iron ore pushed prices up 68.2% to $9.25 per ton.
Between 1884 and 1886 the company shipped 647,128 tons of iron ore
to the Carnegie (Pilgrim Society) interests in Cleveland, netting
the state of Minnesota $6,471.28 on proceeds of over $6 million.
The company had 13 locomotives, 340 cars and 95.7 miles of track in
the Vermillion Range. The company was later sold to a syndicate
including the Rockefellers.
John William
Griggs (1849-1927, Pilgrims 1903) was president of the New Jersey
state senate in 1886, then Governor of New Jersey, 1896-1899, but
resigned in January 1898 to become Attorney General of the United
States. He left that post in 1901 to become a judge on the tribunal
of the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague, Netherlands.
Supranational courts are intended to usurp jurisdiction within
sovereign nations, giving The Pilgrim Society more influence in its
power-grabbing activities.
Stanford Newel
(1839-1907, Skull & Bones 1861, Pilgrims 1903) was a Harvard Law
School graduate and was a delegate to the 1884 and 1892 Republican
National Conventions. He was a delegate to the Peace Conference at
The Hague in 1899. He became Ambassador to the Netherlands and
Luxembourg in 1903-1905.
Edward Wingate
Hatch (1852-1924, Pilgrims 1903) was a New York state Supreme Court
justice, 1895-1909, presumably so the money powers could get the
decisions they wanted.
Arthur P.
Gorman (1839-1906, Pilgrims 1903) was a Democrat Senator from
Maryland, 1881-1899 and reelected in 1903. In 1872 he was made
president of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Company. During 1866-1869
he was “Collector” of internal revenue, 5th district of
Maryland---
His son chaired
the Maryland State Tax Commission for six years, was a director of
Citizens National Bank of Maryland and member of the State Senate,
1904-1910. He was on the staffs of Maryland Governor John Walter
Smith, 1900-1904 and Austin L. Crothers, 1908-1912.
Louis
Livingston Seaman (1851-1932, Pilgrims 1903) was another heir to the
old colonial Livingston land fortune. This is the fifth Livingston
descendant we’ve encountered---“we’re mostly family in The Pilgrim
Society!” He was a medical doctor and was superintendent of the
State of New York Emigrant Insane Asylum, 1879-1881, another case of
the elite taking interest in the art of heretic finding disguised as
“medicine,” a way to get rid of those who disagree with you by
calling them “sick.” I say, let The Pilgrims prove they aren’t
“paranoid” and really have nothing to conceal, by releasing a
current list of members. Fat chance! Dr. Seaman was an example of
the principle that several medical doctors are always members,
presumably so the dark secrets of the organization can be concealed
from the world in cases of delirious deathbed scenes of members.
Seaman, a surgeon, probably never made as much money in practice as
he inherited. In 1886 his British friends sponsored him on a tour
of hospitals in India. He was a trustee of the Sulgrave
Institution, England---ancestral home of George Washington. He was
a Cornell University trustee and was emeritus president of the China
Society of America, another instance of the money lords eyeballing
China. Seaman was president of the British War Relief Association
during World War I. He was with the 2nd Imperial Army of
Japan in the invasion of Manchuria in 1905 and received the three
highest decorations of the Japanese government---Order of the Rising
Sun; Order of the Treasury; and Order of Special Merit (did he
perform medical experiments on the Chinese?) He received
decorations from England, France, the Philippines and paradoxically,
China. In the 1958 Who’s Who, page 1934, Clark H. Minor of The
Pilgrims and General Electric showed up as president of the China
Society of America; director, China Industries; Cathay Insurance
(“Cathay” is archaic for China); Order of the British Empire!
Still another
Livingston relative was Pilgrim Society member Ogden Livingston
Mills (Treasury Secretary, 1932-1933) whose grandfather owned the
gold bank of D.O. Mills & Company in Sacramento at the start of the
California Gold Rush, and returned to New York to erect the largest
building of his time. Ogden Mills, his father (Pilgrim Society)
held interests in Niagara Falls Power Company; Virginia & Truckee
Railway; Farmers Loan & Trust; City & Suburban Homes; Metropolitan
Real Estate Company; Southern Pacific Company; New York Central
Railroad; Chicago Transfer & Clearing Company “and many other
corporations” (Who’s Who, 1929, page 1488). The third generation
Mills held interests in Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad;
Shredded Wheat Company; Continental Paper Company; Crex Carpet
Company; New York Trust Company and others. The Mills were
intermarried also with the Phipps and Reid families (steel and
publishing) both Pilgrim Society families.
Franklin Murphy
(1846-1920, Pilgrims 1903) became chairman of the New Jersey
Republican State Committee in 1892 and was a member of the
Republican National Committee, 1900-1908. He was Governor of New
Jersey, 1902-1905. Murphy was one of the U.S. Commissioners at the
1900 Paris Exposition and during 1898-1900 was president of the Sons
of the American Revolution, very hypocritical in view of his joining
the British Empire’s world domination plans.
Alexander
Caldwell (1830-1917, Pilgrims 1903) was in the Battle of Mexico
City, September 13, 1847, in which his father was killed. During
1861-1871 he was involved in transporting military supplies to
frontier outposts and in railroad building across Kansas and became
a Republican Senator from Kansas, 1871-1873, during which he voted
for the passage of the Coinage Act, the British influenced
legislation that demonetized silver in the United States for all
debts over $5! First he hurt the common man, then from 1877 through
1897 he purported to help them, as president of the Kansas
Manufacturing Company, manufacturing covered wagons and farm
implements---and probably price-gouging. In 1897 he became
president of the First National Bank of Leavenworth, Kansas. He was
probably in The Pilgrims due to his military experience, and because
he voted for the Coinage Act, and also because of his involvement
with railroad interests owned by members.
Richard C.
Shannon (1839-1920, Pilgrims 1903) was a lieutenant colonel from
Connecticut in the Civil War. From 1871-1875 he was secretary of
the U.S. Legation to Brazil and from 1876-1883 he was president of
Botanical Gardens Railroad (in Brazil). In 1886 he was admitted to
the New York Bar Association and during 1891-1893 he served as
Ambassador to Nicaragua, Costa Rica and El Salvador and was a
Republican Congressman from New York, 1895-1899 and a trustee of
Colby College. It makes you wonder which key Congressmen and
Senators are members right now!
Stephen
Warfield Gambrill (1873-1938, Pilgrims 1903, executive committee,
youngest original member verified to date) was born in Maryland and
married a Gorman, so he could be related to the Arthur P. Gorman,
Maryland Senator and member, we saw earlier. He was admitted to the
Maryland Bar Association in 1897 and was elected to the Maryland
House of Representatives, 1920-1922 and to the state Senate in 1924,
then was elected to the 68th Congress “to fill vacancy
caused by death of Sidney E. Mudd” (by natural causes?) and was in
Congress till 1939 working for the World Money Power.
Edwin Warfield
(1848-1920, Pilgrims 1903) was born in Maryland and could be related
to Stephen Warfield Gambrill. The “we’re mostly family in the
Pilgrim Society” principle applies. Warfield founded Fidelity &
Deposit Company of Maryland and Fidelity Trust of Baltimore. He was
president of the Maryland Senate in 1886. He was a delegate to the
Democratic National Convention of 1896 and Maryland Governor,
1904-1908. At some point---year not stated---he became president of
the National Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution---another case of infiltration by a British Redcoat
sympathizer.
Daniel Coit
Gilman (1831-1908, Pilgrims 1903, Skull & Bones Society, 1852)
traced his ancestry to John Gilman of Exeter, New Hampshire, who
emigrated from England in 1638. From 1856-1872 he was professor of
“political geography” at Yale. During 1872-1875 he was president of
the University of California. Next he served as president of Johns
Hopkins University, Baltimore, till 1901. In 1901 he became the
first president of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, having
been placed in that post by Pilgrim Society member Andrew Carnegie,
British Crown loyalist. He was a member of the U.S. Commission on
the boundary line between Venezuela and British Guiana, 1896-1897.
He was a member of the commission to draft a new city charter for
Baltimore in 1897. He was a vice president of the Archaeological
Institute of America and of the Peabody Education Fund, possibly
linked to the Charles Augustus Peabody we saw above. He was a
trustee of the Russell Sage Foundation, named after a colossal scale
railroad kingpin; and of the Rockefellers General Education Board.
He was editor in chief of New International Encyclopedia (standing
behind a rail)---
Jacob Gould
Schurman (born 1854 Prince Edward Island, Canada, page 1852, Who’s
Who in America, 1928-1929, “underground” in listing; Pilgrims 1903;
deceased 1942) described himself as a descendant of a “New York
Dutch family” graduated from the University of London in 1878.
Whether his middle name indicated relation to Edwin Gould (Pilgrims
1903) I haven’t determined. He was Sage (Russell Sage money)
professor of philosophy at Cornell from 1886-1892, then president of
Cornell University, 1892-1920 and was president of the United States
Philippine Commission in 1899. He was United States Minister to
Greece and Montenegro in 1912-1913. From June 1921 through May 1925
he was United States Ambassador to China---probably in connection
with the Treasury Department’s plan to drain China of sufficient
silver to derail its silver system. In June 1925-1930 he became
Ambassador to Germany in the wake of the failure of the Weimar
Republic. He authored (1917) “Why America Is In The War.” Locate
that book; chances are you won’t find “Pilgrim Society” in the
index. His daughter Helen married John Magruder, an Army officer
who served in the Philippines, 1913-1915; in France, 1918-1919;
assistant military attaché at Peking, China, 1920-1924; military
attaché at Peking, 1926-1930; commandant, Virginia Military
Institute (VMI) 1932-1935; military attaché at Bern, Switzerland,
1935-1938; chief of Intelligence, War Department General Staff,
1938-1941; chief of Military Mission to China, August 1941-May 1942;
and became deputy director of Office of Strategic Services in March
1943---forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Sir A. Maurice
Low (1860-1929, Pilgrims 1903) became the chief American
correspondent for the London Morning Post. He was Knighted for
services to the British Government---propaganda services I imagine.
He was decorated the Order of the Rising Sun of Japan and the Order
of the Redeemer of Greece. He authored “The American People—A Study
In National Psychology” (1909) another book to be investigated! The
following series of personalities will give insight as to how The
Pilgrims planned to control information.
Isaac Nelson
Ford (1848-1912, Pilgrims 1903) was hired in 1870 by Whitelaw Reid,
who we read about earlier, as a reporter, editorial writer, book
reviewer, and news editor for the New York Herald Tribune. In 1895
he became its London correspondent, managing information for the
money powers.
Henry
Richardson Chamberlain (1859-1911, Pilgrims 1903) was managing
editor of the New York Press, 1888; Boston Journal, 1891-1892; and
became London correspondent for the New York Sun in 1892. The
1897-1942 Who Was Who, page 207 shows him as author of a book, year
of publication not stated, titled, “Six Thousand Tons of Gold.” It
sounds like a book to be investigated!
Walter Neef
(Pilgrims 1903), head of the Associated Press.
James Boyle
(1853-1939, Pilgrims 1903) was an editorial writer with the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, 1878-1891. Ohio Governor Foraker
appointed Boyle to the Police Commissioners Board to reorganize the
police force, 1887-1890. In 1892 though 1896 he was private
secretary to William McKinley during his two terms as Governor of
Ohio. Boyle was American Consul at Liverpool, England, 1897-1905.
He was known as the “Father of the Republican League” because he
conceived the idea and founded the Ohio Republican League Clubs,
which became the National Republican League, of which he was
chairman. He was also chairman of the Liverpool Barge & Coaling
Company and secretary of Southern Slate Company. He coauthored
“Life of William McKinley” (1896) with Robert Percival Porter (see
below) and made a “special study on socialism, economics and labor
questions” (page 125, 1897-1942 volume).
George Washburn
Smalley (1833-1916, Pilgrims 1903) became American correspondent for
the London Times in July 1895. During 1861-1862 he was a war
correspondent for the New York Tribune and organized its European
Bureau in 1866-1867. Notice how the biggest newspapers were being
included in The Pilgrims information control.
Robert Percival
Porter (1852-1917, Pilgrims 1903) was educated at the Kind Edward VI
School in Norwich, England. In 1880-1881 he was an “expert” on the
U.S. census, “reporting on wealth, debt, taxation and
transportation.” In 1882 he was appointed United States Tariff
Commissioner. He was on the editorial staff of Whitelaw Reid’s New
York Tribune, 1884-1887 and founded the New York Press in 1887.
During 1890-1894 he was director of the 11th United
States Census. In 1899 he negotiated the arrangement with General
Maximo Gomez for disarming the Cuban army at the close of the
Spanish-American War. In 1904 he became a staff member of The
Times, London. Page 984 of the 1897-1942 volume said he---
“Has traveled
extensively in U.S., Mexico, South America, Japan, Russia, the
Balkans, Roumania, Turkey and other countries for the purpose of
making industrial investigations and reports.” Those investigations
and reports must have been to assist the money lords in making
acquisitions, smashing competitors, and squeezing the middle class!
He authored “Free Trade Folly” (1886, things reversed since that
time) and coauthored “Life of William McKinley” (1896) with James
Boyle, who we just looked at. Porter also authored “Commerce and
Industry of Japan” (1896); “Industrial Cuba” (1899); “Dangers of
Municipal Ownership” (1907); and “Japan, Rise of a Modern Power”
(1918) another book to investigate, since the financiers helped
Japan to attack China then later Pearl Harbor, so we could go fight
for the British Empire. In his 1946 book, “The Empire of The
City---World Superstate,” E.C. Knuth said on page 101---
“Two
interesting accounts appeared on the front page of the Chicago
Tribune of December 6, 1945. In one, Major General Patrick J.
Hurley, former special ambassador to China, charges career men in
the State Department with fighting for the imperialistic designs of
Great Britain, Holland and France; nations, as developed
hereinbefore, whose financial systems are dominated by The City.
The other account is of the first dinner meeting of the Pilgrim
Society since the outbreak of the war, in which it is identified as
a “hands across the sea organization.” It recounts that both Labor
Prime Minister Attlee and the Lord High Chancellor of the Laborite
government, Lord Jowitt, were among the speakers; and that Lord
Jowitt had stated that he greeted the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor, in which 3,000 Americans died, with “thank God for that.”
Prime Minister Attlee lauded the United States “for having conquered
all and given great satisfaction to everybody here.”
Michael Harry
DeYoung (1849-1925, Pilgrims 1903), sole proprietor and editor in
chief of the San Francisco Chronicle, starting in 1880. He was
commissioner of the World’s Columbian National Commission,
1892-1893. He was a delegate to the Republican National Conventions
of 1888 and 1892 and was a member of the Republican National
Committee for 8 years and vice chairman for 4 years. He became a
director of the Associated Press in 1882 and was president of the
International League of Press Clubs. He was a commissioner at the
1900 Paris Exposition and was director of the Panama-Pacific
International Exposition.
Richard Watson
Gilder (1844-1909, Pilgrims 1903) married Helena, daughter of
Commodore George DeKay. After the Civil War he was managing editor
of the Newark, New Jersey Advertiser and afterwards founded the
Newark Register. He edited Hours At Home, a New York monthly. He
became managing editor of Scribner’s Monthly in 1870 and editor in
chief in 1881. The name was then changed to The Century. These
were highly significant and influential media positions at that
time. Scribner’s and The Century appear in large collections of
hardbound volumes in major university and city libraries from coast
to coast. Gilder was a member of the council of the National Civil
Service Reform League and was an organizer of the International
Copyright League. Gilder was first president of the New York
Kindergarten Association and vice president of the City Club.
Gilder---
Joseph B.
Gilder (1858-1936, Pilgrims 1903) was Richard’s kid brother. He was
a reporter in Newark, New Jersey, 1874-1877. He was a reporter with
the New York Herald, Whitelaw Reid’s paper 1877-1880. In January
1881 he founded The Critic, later renamed Putnam’s Magazine, of
which he was editor for 28 years. Putnam’s Magazine was another
major information source. He was treasurer of the American
Copyright League in 1886 and advisor to The Century Company,
1895-1902 and U.S. government dispatch agent in London, 1902-1904.
From 1910-1911 he was editor of the New York Times Review of Books.
He was in the banking business, not specified, 1911-1914 and
secretary of the Industrial Finance Corporation, 1914-1929 and of
the Morris Plan Insurance Society, 1917-1929. He wrote books about
Andrew Carnegie and John Hay, two other members, but its doubtful
The Pilgrims are mentioned in either index. “Investigative
reporting” means investigating financial scandals only pertaining to
non-members!
Frank Andrew
Munsey (1854-1925, Pilgrims 1903) started as a manager in a Western
Union Telegraph office. In 1882 he moved from Maine to New York and
started The Golden Argosy, a weekly for children. In February 1889
he launched Munsey’s Weekly, which became Munsey’s Magazine in
October 1891. By 1896 his various publications had a circulation of
700,000. Argosy developed into another well known sporting
publication and magazine for adults. He also operated the All Story
Weekly; the New York Mail; New York Sun & Globe; Evening Telegram;
New York Press; New York Daily News; Boston Journal; Baltimore
Evening News; Washington Times, as examples, out of a total of 18
newspapers he owned at his peak. He owned the Munsey Building, New
York; Munsey Trust Company; Mohican Hotel, New London, Connecticut;
and the Mohican Company, a grocery store chain in Pennsylvania, New
York and New England. Munsey left a $40 million fortune in 1925 and
has been called the Rupert Murdoch (probably a current member) of
that era---
According to
Harvard Business School’s list of Great American Business Leaders---
“Munsey
revolutionized the publishing industry by bringing financial rigor
to the business. Due to his efforts, Munsey’s Magazine had the
largest circulation of any magazine in the world.”
Lundberg in
“America’s 60 Families” tells us on page 96---
“Perkins
became, in collaboration with Frank Munsey, the newspaper and
magazine publisher, Roosevelt’s chief political mentor and
financier.”
This was George
W. Perkins, Pilgrim Society member we looked at earlier---
And of course
the Roosevelt spoken of here was President Theodore Roosevelt.
Munsey (page 99) later turned out to be a financial supporter of
President Taft, along with George W. Perkins; Andrew Carnegie; Jacob
Schiff; George F. Baker; James Speyer; Whitelaw Reid; J.P. Morgan
and John D. Rockefeller---all of them Pilgrim Society members. The
Speyers own interests in MetLife Building, Chrysler Building and
other large Manhattan skyscrapers. More from Lundberg (pages
106-107)---
“Since 1895
Perkins and Munsey had been inseparable; and Munsey, although still
widely remembered as a newspaper publisher, was actually one of
the biggest stock market operators to ever set foot in Wall Street.
He made most of his $40,000,000 fortune in Wall Street speculations
conducted through Perkins. In reciprocation for the latter’s
services Munsey functioned in the newspaper field for J.P. Morgan
and Company---buying, selling, creating, and suppressing newspapers
in consonance with J.P. Morgan’s shifting needs. Munsey’s first big
market killing took place in the International Harvester merger of
1902 after Perkins put him in on the ground floor. A novice at the
game, Munsey made a fortune overnight. Until he met Perkins in 1895
Munsey, significantly indeed, was often near bankruptcy. But after
falling in with the Morgan henchman he branched right out into
newspaper publishing, which required much capital.”
“Munsey was
brought into the original United States Steel syndicate, was ushered
out before Steel common collapsed, and resumed buying,
unquestionably at Perkins’ suggestion, after J.P. Morgan and Company
had “pegged” the market at slightly more than $8 a share, using
Treasury funds during the Panic of 1907. Munsey, in short, was an
“insider.” From 1907 to 1911, it was brought out by the Stanley
Committee, Munsey was the biggest stockholder in United States
Steel, and utilized Munsey’s Magazine, which then enjoyed a large
national circulation, to praise both the company and its stock in a
series of “idolatrous” articles written by himself on the basis of
facts and figures supplied by the Steel Corporation. The facts and
figures, as the Committee proved, were incorrect and misleading. At
times Munsey owned 500,000 to 1,100,000 shares of United States
Steel, valued at $30,000,000 to $50,000,000. But when Perkins
resigned from J.P. Morgan and Company on January 1, 1911, to assume
a larger political role than he had ever played as director of the
“Yellow Dog Fund” of the insurance companies, Munsey’s market
operations significantly came to an end.”
Lundberg
explained the nature of Munsey’s operations (pages 252-254)---
“J.P. Morgan
Bloc. This great private banking house has been as preoccupied with
journalism, on behalf of its supporting families, as have the
Rockefellers, probably even outranking Standard Oil in its
consistent, pervasive, and unbroken interest in the press. More
advertising is controlled by the J.P. Morgan junta than by any other
single financial group, a fact which immediately gives the banking
house the respectful attention of all alert independent publishers.
The first direct journalistic connection of J.P. Morgan and Company
appears to have been made in 1887 when William Laffan, a drama
critic, with money advanced to him by J.P. Morgan the elder, founded
the New York Evening Sun. In 1897 Laffan acquired the Morning Sun
from the Dana estate, and switched it to the slavish support of J.P.
Morgan & Company. Both Sun papers were Morgan spokesmen on all
issues. In the Panama Canal steal, for example, they spoke boldly
for the Roosevelt-Bunau-Varilla program behind which Morgan and his
henchmen lay concealed; Morgan’s Sun opened fire upon all who dared
oppose the Morgan bank.”
“In 1916 The
Sun passed into the hands of Frank Munsey, who had long been
functioning as a paid tool of Morgan, and Munsey merged it with the
Press he acquired in 1912. Munsey has always been a mystery to rank
and file journalists because of the way he bought and ruthlessly
liquidated newspapers. His biographer, George Britt, who has
admirably collected the main facts about his life, unfortunately
fails to penetrate this mystery of a sane man who, seemingly for no
reason, wrecked valuable newspaper properties. But after one
reviews the long list of newspapers whose ruin Munsey encompassed at
enormous cost; after one inquires into the policies of those
newspapers; and after one takes into consideration Munsey’s
profitable association with the astute Perkins, there is really no
longer any mystery.”
“Munsey put to
death newspapers that were inimical, in one way or another, to J.P.
Morgan and Company, and founded newspapers that sang the praises of
projects in which J.P. Morgan and Company happened to be concerned
at a particular time or in a particular locality. Sometimes it was
a newspaper opposed to some special public utility grab of J.P.
Morgan and Company which Munsey bought and throttled. Sometimes it
was a newspaper that fought some local Morgan political favorite.
At other times it was a liberal newspaper operated contrary to the
Morgan philosophy of plunder. But always, it was a newspaper whose
disappearance benefited J.P. Morgan and Company. “Munsey sold
himself to the House of Morgan,” says his biographer. “He enjoyed a
community of interest, sang Morgan’s song, was given an inside
position in Morgan deals. Munsey was a Morgan tool.” Munsey, as we
have seen, functioned under the direction of George W. Perkins. He
first bought the New York Star in the 1890’s. This paper had been
secretly owned by Collis P. Huntington, who used it to boost his
friends and damn his foes. “
“In 1901 Munsey
bought the New York Daily News and the Washington Times,
discontinuing the former in 1904 and selling the latter in 1917. In
1902 he bought the Boston Journal and killed it the next year along
with the Boston Evening News, which he founded. These acquisitions
and discontinuances closely followed the flotation of the United
States Steel Corporation and the International Harvester Company by
J.P. Morgan and Company, in both of which enterprises the foundation
of Munsey’s $40,000,000 fortune was laid. The Munsey papers whooped
it up for the new Morgan trusts.”
“In 1908 Munsey
bought the Baltimore News and formed the Philadelphia Times, killing
the former in 1915 and the latter in 1914. In 1916 the New York Sun
was taken in, and in 1920 the two Bennett papers. In 1923 he took
in the New York Globe, a liberal newspaper with a notable staff.
Munsey promptly killed this paper, which had long been a thorn in
Morgan’s side. In 1924 he purchased the New York Mail and merged it
with the Telegram. One of the Mail’s leading secret stockholders
for many years had been Morgan partner George W. Perkins. All these
and many other transactions involved millions of dollars, garnered
by Munsey in various Morgan stock market pools.”
“After Munsey’s
death in 1925 The Sun and the New York Telegram passed to the
ownership of the Metropolitan Museum of Art; but as the New York
Times commented, “Until the will was opened Mr. Munsey had never
been known as a friend of the museum.” J.P. Morgan, however, was
chairman of the board of trustees of the museum, in the affairs of
which his father had taken a leading hand much earlier. The
trustees of the Metropolitan Museum at the time Munsey willed his
newspapers to it included Elihu Root, Edward S. Harkness, George F.
Baker and other representatives of the great families who turn up on
every occasion where money or power is involved. It was only
logical for Munsey to return his fortune to the keeping of the
banking house which made it for him by methods already scanned. In
1926 The Sun, now an afternoon paper, was sold through the Munsey
estate’s principal executor, the Guaranty Trust Company (Morgan) to
The Sun’s leading executives, headed by William T. Dewart.”
The 1927 Who’s
Who, page 592, shows William Thompson Dewart, born at Fenelon Falls,
Ontario, Canada, January 29, 1875, as a member of The Pilgrims! He
married Mary Wheeler, daughter of Commodore Thomas H. Wheeler, of
New York City, April 21, 1908. He became president of Frank Munsey
Company; New York Sun Association; New York Herald; Mohican Company;
One Fifty Nassau Street Corporation (probably an office building)
and president, Munsey Trust Company of Washington; director,
Martin-Parry Corporation. Like the majority of the U.S. members, he
was an Episcopalian. One Pilgrim Society member exits the
scene---another replaces him where the inner circle of the
organization deems important to do so. Dewart was a member of the
Sphinx Society of Dartmouth College, another collegiate society
along the lines of Skull & Bones, though less important.
Adolph S. Ochs
(1858-1935, Pilgrims 1903) was a printer’s apprentice and newsboy at
Knoxville, Tennessee, 1869-1873, when he was promoted to editor. In
1878 he became owner of the Chattanooga Times. By 1896 he was the
publisher and “controlling owner” of the New York Times. He bought
the Philadelphia Times in 1901 and the Philadelphia Public Ledger in
1902. In 1900 he became a director and executive committee member
of the Associated Press. He gave $500,000 to the American Council
of Learned Societies, possibly so that they wouldn’t mention in
their Dictionary of American Biography, the fact that certain
prominent Americans were members of The Pilgrim Society. He gave
$5,000,000 to Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati. His son in law,
Arthur Hays Sulzberger, became boss at the New York Times and a
member of The Pilgrims. The New York Times and The Times, London,
are the two official-unofficial mouthpieces for The Pilgrims,
occasionally mentioning them only with the view that the Society
wants to “promote good relations” between America and Britain. Some
of these stories even mention a few specific names, but just a very
few, and neither source has EVER published anything remotely
approaching full membership rosters for both branches. Down through
the years various members of the Ochs, Sulzberger and Dryfoos
families, in management at the New York Times, have appeared as
Pilgrim Society members, along with others there who aren’t
relatives. The news will be controlled to suit the World Money
Power!
Robert Curtis
Ogden (1836-1913, Pilgrims 1903) was associated with the Wanamakers
of Philadelphia, capitalists and owners of the Philadelphia North
American newspaper; they were associated with the J.P. Morgan
interests. Ogden became president of Union Theological Seminary,
New York; president of the Southern Education Board; president of
the Conference for Education in the South; and a trustee of the
Tuskegee Institute of Alabama. The 1978 Who’s Who, page 2438,
showed Alfred Ogden, associated with the Guggenheim mining and
tax-exempt foundation interests, and William S. Ogden, of Chase
Manhattan Bank, as Pilgrim Society members.
NOT LISTED IN
THE 1897-1942 WHO WAS WHO
Foster Milliken
(1865-1945, Pilgrims 1903) and his brother Edward Fullerton Milliken
(Pilgrims 1903) founded Milliken Brothers, iron ore interests, then
went into construction and had several offices in other countries.
They built the American Tobacco Building in Havana, Cuba; the Barney
Barnato Building in Johannesburg (Cecil Rhodes bought out the
Barnato diamond holdings); National Theater, Mexico City; Singer
Building, New York; Commercial Cable Company station on Midway
Island in the Pacific; and others. Foster held 43 U.S. patents
including electric utility poles; transmission towers; traffic
signals and valves. Other branches of the Milliken family were
wealthy and held textile interests among others. John T. Milliken
bought over 100 gold claims at Cripple Creek, Colorado, in 1928 and
consolidated them into United Gold Mines and also operated the
Golden Cycle Corporation.
The 1970 Who’s
Who, page 689, shows Pilgrim Society member Douglas Elton Fairbanks
Jr. (1909-2000) as a director of Golden Cycle Corporation at
Colorado Springs. Fairbanks acted in or produced over 150 films
from his Criterion Films Corporation (London) and the Fairbanks
Company and Dougfair Corporation. His films included Catherine the
Great (1934); Prisoner of Zenda (1937); Sinbad the Sailor (1947) and
Ghost Story (1981). He had offices in London, New York and Los
Angeles. Using his film earnings to invest elsewhere, he was
chairman, 1960-1964 of Fairlanes Bowling Limited. He was also
chairman of Norlantic Development; Fairbanks International Business
Development; president, Boltons Trading Company; deputy chairman,
Roberts Realty Company (Bahamas); director, Scripto Pens Limited;
Mayflower Hotel Corporation (Washington); Cavalcade Films Limited;
National Investors Life Assurance Company (London); Louis Marx Toy
Manufacturing (Hong Kong); Elam Tool & Machine Limited (Hong Kong);
III Incorporated (Dallas); Westridge Films Ltd. (London); Rambagh
Palace Hotel (Jaipur, India); Sound & Light Corporation of America;
Thomson TV (Lord Thomson of Fleet, Pilgrim Society) and others. He
was national vice chairman of the Committee to Defend America by
Aiding the Allies, 1941 and was a special Presidential envoy on a
mission to South America in 1941, covering Panama; Peru; Uruguay;
Peru; Argentina and Brazil. Fairbanks was a governor of Royal
Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-on-Avon, England; trustee, Pacific
War Memorial; Mountbatten Trust (Earl Mountbatten of Burma, Pilgrim
Society); Cordell Hull Foundation (Pilgrim Society); national vice
chairman, American Association for the United Nations (“American
Association for the British Empire”); president, British-American
Alumni Association; governor, English Speaking Union. Fairbanks
held decorations from the United States (Silver Star; Naval Reserve
Medal); Italy; Chile; Korea; Austria; France; Belgium; Brazil;
Greece; Netherlands; and Knight of the British Empire by King George
VI, patron of The Pilgrims, for “furthering Anglo-American amity”---
Fairbanks
Senior founded United Artists in 1919 and was among the founders of
the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. Admiral Lord
Mountbatten was uncle of Prince Philip, husband of the Queen, and in
1957 the royal family, including Princess Margaret, attended a
birthday party for Fairbanks’ daughter. One of his marriages was
into the Hartford family (Great Atlantic & Pacific Supermarkets
chain).
Charles A.
Coffin (1844-1926, Pilgrims 1903) was president, 1892-1912, then
chairman, 1913-1922 of General Electric Company.
J.M. Ceballos
(Pilgrims 1903) was a director of the International Banking
Corporation, which was linked to the Colonial Bank of London.
Ceballos sounds Spanish, highly unusual for this Anglo-American
organization. After exhausting the 1897-1942 reference volume and
finding many names in the 1903 list not appearing in the book,
looking to the internet, I find that even there many names aren’t
registering anywhere. The next place to ferret out data would be
the New York Times Index.
William Phelps
Eno (1858-1945, Pilgrims 1903) was the son of Amos Richards Eno
(1810-1898) who left a real estate fortune of some $20 million,
according to
www.enofamily.org . William Phelps Eno is known as the “father
of traffic safety.” By 1903 he developed the original city traffic
plans for use in controlling traffic flow. Those plans were first
implemented in New York, London and Paris, and the circular traffic
routing around the Arc D’ Triomphe. He was a fellow of the New York
Academy of Sciences and authored eight books on traffic control (he
was the inventor, for example, of the stop sign) that were
translated into four languages. He held two decorations from the
French government and there is still a traffic safety foundation in
Washington, D.C., today that bears his name. He owned a 152-foot
steam powered yacht. The Eno Transportation Foundation developed
the Enoscope, forerunner of the radar gun for catching speeders.
His contributions greatly helped add to orderly contributions in
modern society; so, you may ask, since that is definitely not an
evil thing---and I allege The Pilgrims to be about the business of
evil---why would they want him as a member? Anyone who has ideas
that can be implemented to reshape society is of interest to them,
since control is what they are about. Eno never had a driver’s
license! He was one of the few original members of The Pilgrims, to
date, who I found to have been a member of Skull & Bones
Society---there were probably at least a dozen others, but we’d have
to include charter Pilgrims who were omitted from the list that I’m
certain is incomplete. Interlocks with other World Empire societies
will be maintained! The 2002 Pilgrims book doesn’t mention Charles
Rolls of Rolls-Royce fame; yet he is mentioned as a founder in the
1942 book! There are other examples, and the 2002 book contains
certain items of intentional misrepresentation! Roger Eno
(1737-1808) a family ancestor was a British army officer with
Colonel Putnam’s regiment in 1764. Roger “defected” to the side of
the patriots, but was court-martialed on December 1, 1775.
According to
www.enofamily.org Benedict Arnold---later a confirmed Crown
loyalist and traitor to Americans---accused Roger Eno of treason!
Many members of The Pilgrims trace their ancestry back to Colonial
times and beyond that back to merry old England, and have true
British Redcoat genes! Page 63 of the 2002 Pilgrims of Great
Britain book has a photo of Lord Greenwood, demonic expression in
evidence, who was chairman of The Pilgrims London from 1945 to
1948. The caption says---
“A Canadian,
born near Toronto, Hamar Greenwood was descended from an Empire
loyalist who moved to Canada at the time of the American War of
Independence.”
Page 68 of that
book also mentions (photo caption)---
“Sir Campbell
Stuart, chairman from 1945 to 1958. A Canadian, born in Montreal,
his ancestors were Empire loyalists who emigrated to Canada at the
time of the American War of Independence.”
So if you’re a
Pilgrim Society member, you are loyal to the British Empire, not to
the Constitution of the United States! The Pilgrim Society indeed
represents the global interests of the British Crown and its
associated bankers (Rothschilds; Kleinworts; Warburgs; Grenfells and
so forth) and intermarried European royalty sometimes called the
“Black Nobility”; and their American partners, the “60 Families”
Lundberg wrote about in 1937!
Lord Fairfax of
Cameron (1870-1939, Pilgrims 1903), Albert Kirby Fairfax, the 12th
Lord Fairfax of Cameron, was an extremely wealthy heir to the
worldwide British Colonial Empire. Though he resided in Britain, he
was listed as primarily a member of The Pilgrims United States.
Why? No doubt because he still considered himself rightful owner of
the FIVE MILLION ACRES of old
Virginia Colony granted to him by King Charles II in 1742! Fairfax
Virginia, and Fairfax County, Virginia, bear the Lord’s royal name!
In 1868 his father, Charles Fairfax, was a delegate to the
Democratic National Convention, probably trying to look out for
Crown interests---
Just let the
entire middle class of Virginia be bankrupted by The Pilgrim Society
sponsored World Trade Organization---and the current Lord Fairfax of
Cameron (born 1956), residing in London, can return to The Colonies
and take charge of his Crown land grant! In “Pilgrim
Partners---Forty Years of British American Fellowship” (1942) Sir
Harry Brittain, a founder, said on pages 28-29---
“There was Lord
Fairfax, a descendant of fine old English stock, for generations
associated with the United States, who returned to settle on this
side in the early years of this century. Fairfax and I met in
Devonshire shortly after his arrival in England, at the home of Sir
Robert Harvey, who was later to become my father in law, and at once
formed a life-long friendship. Having settled in London, Fairfax
soon became known in banking and finance, took up English
citizenship, and later his seat in the House of Lords.”
Paulding
Farnham (1859-1927, Pilgrims 1903) was a talented jewelry designer,
winning numerous gold medals at many World’s Fair expositions
towards the late 19th century. A book was put out on him
in 2000, “Paulding Farnham, Tiffany’s Lost Genius.” He was with
Tiffany & Company (owner of the yellow 128.51 carat Tiffany
diamond), where he was a master jewelry and silverware designer. He
must not have been one of the really wealthy Pilgrim Society
members. However, since such personalities often want large and
valuable diamonds and colored stones, it was probably the
explanation as to why he was made a member. Recall that Tiffany &
Company is currently an annual business of some $2 billion and
Silver Users Association members who appear to really hate silver
miners and prices that would allow them to make a comfortable
living.
William Forbes
Fisher (dates unknown, Pilgrims 1903) actually operated out of
London, a company in the Cripple Creek, Colorado, gold strike area,
called Lillie GMC Limited with a shaft over 1,000 feet deep. GMC
probably stood for Gold Mining Claim, and he probably had other
mining interests elsewhere, else he would have had an office at that
location. Mining investors should be on guard against infiltration
by Pilgrim Society members---they are subject to turning up wherever
they wish, and will not have the interests of the average
shareholder at heart. The 1927 Who’s Who, page 1197 showed Pilgrim
Society member Henry Dickinson Lindsley, Mayor of Dallas, 1913-1917,
a banker, who was once national commander of the American Legion
(infiltration by pro-British interests). Lindsley was a director of
the Mexican Chamber of Commerce of the U.S. and also of the Mexico
Society of the U.S.
W.W. Fuller
(dates unknown, Pilgrims 1903) was a director of the American
Tobacco Company and British-American Tobacco Company, sometimes
called B.A.T. Industries, operating out of Globe House, London, with
over 81,000 employees.
John Work
Garrett (1878-1942, Pilgrims 1903) was grandson of John Work
Garrett. Myers in “History of the Great American Fortunes” (page
513) said---
“What Blair and
others were doing in the North and West before, during, and after
the Civil War, John W. Garrett and Johns Hopkins were doing in
Maryland. Garrett was extolled in his day as a “famous railroad
king”; it is not the man so much nor his fortune which commands
interest as is the story of the railway line that he and Hopkins
largely owned; this property forms today one of the great
transportation systems of the country.”
John Work
Garrett (1820-1884) was born in Baltimore, Maryland, site of Johns
Hopkins University, named after Garrett’s business partner, Johns
Hopkins. The university is one of the leading higher educational
institutions in the United States. Johns Hopkins University Press
is the source of much “internationalist” (pro-interventionist and
globalist) propaganda. Garrett’s father had built up a significant
fortune as a trader and merchant, and the son bought an interest in
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, became a director in 1857, and
president in 1858 and in that year its income rose by $725,000. The
railroad played a major role in transporting Union soldiers and
supplies during the Civil War. After the war the railroad underwent
tremendous expansion, including steamships and telegraph
operations. The original John W. Garrett was also a trustee of
Johns Hopkins University. He installed Daniel Coit Gilman
(described already) as president of Johns Hopkins University from
1876-1901. The 1958 Who’s Who shows Edwin Haines Burgess, Pilgrims
of U.S., as general counsel to Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Burgess
was president of the Association of Interstate Commerce Commission
Practitioners and a member of the Newcomen Society of England.
A.G. Glasgow
(1842-? Pilgrims 1903) is the subject of an inconclusive identity
search. What I found was an account from “Town & Country” a
Pennsylvania based publication, dated September 27, 1902, the right
time frame---
“While
attending Sunday school Sunday at Millersville, Lancaster County,
A.G. GLASGOW, aged 60 years, was arrested on a charge of stealing a
team from Wm. DeHAVEN, of New Holland. The team was sold in Red
Lion, York County, and later was shipped from New York to Norfolk,
Virginia. The police authorities say a regular trade in stolen
horses is carried on between these cities. GLASGOW says he bought
the team on a public road, near Shenk's Ferry.”
If it was the
same Glasgow in the 1903 Pilgrims list, theft is hardly out of
character with the composition of the organization.
William Leon
Graves (dates not found, Pilgrims 1903) was son in law to John C.
Eno. Eno once worked for Morton, Bliss & Company, who we looked at
already. The New York Tribune, May 14, 1884, page 12, in a story
about the Second National Bank of New York and its president, John
C. Eno, possibly an Eno family member (see already discussed) who
fled New York State to Canada after a $4 million embezzlement------
“THE SECOND
NATIONAL TO GO ON
Action Of
The Directors -- Making Good Any Loss -- President Eno Resigns
Among the
rumors that were circulated industry yesterday was one that the
Second National Bank, in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, was in trouble. As
soon as the rumors reached the ears of John C. Eno, president of the
bank, he called a meeting of the directors to be held in the
evening, and requested all the other officers to be present. Work
was at once begun on the preparation, of a report for submission to
the directors, in order to enable them to make a statement which
would give assurance to the public that there was no foundation for
the rumors of defalcation and embarrassment. O. D. Roberts, cashier
for bank, ceased his labors long enough to say to a Tribune
reporter:
"You can say
from me that there is no truth of these reports. There has been no
defalcation here and we are in no trouble; the directors will make a
statement which will convince the public of this. I wish to deny the
stories utterly."
The
directors of the bank met at the house of Isaac N. Phelps, No. 229
Madison-ave., last evening, to consider the condition of the bank.
Amos R. Eno, Amos F. Eno (a stockholder, but not a director), Henry
A. Hurlbut, Isaac N. Phelps, James A. Trowbridge, Anson Phelps
Stokes, O. D. Roberts, cashier of the bank, and William Walter
Phelps were present. They were in session until nearly 1 o'clock
this morning. At that time Mr. Roberts furnished the following the
publication:
The Board of
Directors of the Second National Bank take pleasure in informing the
public that whatever loss has been incurred has been made up; that
its capital is intact, and the bank is prepared to meet its
obligations on demand.
O. D. Roberts, Cashier.
May 14, 1884.
It was
learned that John C. Eno had resigned the presidency of the bank and
that James A. Trowbridge had been elected in his place. Mr.
Trowbridge is the son of the former president of the bank, who died
two years ago, and is a member of the well known banking firm of
Vermilye & Co. No. 16 Nassau-st. He is a man of large wealth.
Inquiries
were made of several directors as to the details of the loss which
the bank had suffered and as to the amount of the deficiency which
had been made up, but they declined to give any information.
The Second
National Bank was organized in 1863 and bears the reputation of
being one of the strongest small banks of the city. It has a capital
of $300, 000. Many wealthy families on Murray Hill and in
neighboring parts of the city have accounts with the bank.”
It’s fine to
cheat the public but you must not cheat other elitists. Anson
Stokes was the father of Pilgrim Society member William Graham
Phelps-Stokes, who operated the Nevada Central Railroad, the Nevada
Company, and had banking and silver mining interests in Nevada.
Job E.
Hedges (dates undetermined, Pilgrims 1903) was a New York delegate
to the Republican National Conventions of 1908, 1912 and 1916,
Republican candidate for governor in 1916, and was general counsel
to the Association of Life Insurance Presidents.

Lawrence (dates undetermined, Pilgrims 1903) was president of the
Lotos Club, New York, founded in 1870, as the premier “literary
club” in the United States. It’s another case of Pilgrim Society
members running other organizations.
W.H. Libby
(dates undetermined, Pilgrims 1903) The Nation, March 1, 1941, made
mention of the W.H. Libby, an oil tanker operated by Standard Oil of
New Jersey (later became Exxon). Libby was probably once a Standard
executive.
Hamilton W.
Mabie (dates undetermined, Pilgrims 1903) was a trustee of Barnard
College and was editor of The Outlook, a major national
opinion-molding publication. Volumes of The Outlook are on the
shelves of many major libraries coast to coast.
W.E.
Mandelick (dates not found, Pilgrims 1903) was an executive based in
London, of the Central London Railway. It’s unclear why he was
listed in the U.S. branch in 1903 rather than the London branch in
1902.
THEODORE
MARBURG & WORLD GOVERNMENT
Theodore
Marburg (born 1862, Pilgrims 1903) and William A. Marburg (dates not
found, Pilgrims 1903) were listed on page 183 of the 2002 Pilgrims
volume. William A. Marburg was his father. The Marburgs were
described as a “prominent Baltimore mercantile family.” Since we’ve
encountered several of the original 1903 Pilgrims involved with
Johns Hopkins University, it seems natural to find Theodore as a
trustee from 1902-1945. You may wonder, are the Marburgs related to
the Warburgs---a very similar spelling! I cannot supply an answer
now. However, both have roots in Germany and the city of Marburg is
the site of Marburg University, founded in 1527. It currently has
an annual enrollment of 18,000, making it one of the more important
European universities. There appears to be a link to medieval
German princes, notably the Hanovers, intermarried with British
nobility; that’s where the name of the former New York banking
giant, Manufacturers Hanover Trust, came from and it was riddled
with Pilgrim Society members. The university is a beneficiary of
the William Marburg Trust so; the family is clearly linked to events
dating back close to half a millennium. Theodore had a profile in
the 1927 Who’s Who, page 1261. His educational background included
Princeton; Johns Hopkins; Oxford University; Free School of
Political Science, Paris; University of Heidelberg. He was a vice
president of the anti-silver American Economic Association
(1899-1901) and Ambassador to Belgium, 1912-1914.
I located a
web reference saying he founded the American Society for the
Judicial Settlement of International Disputes in 1920. However, the
1927 volume---with information he supplied---says he was president
of that organization in 1915-1916. He was a member of the American
Society for International Law, founded in 1906 by Pilgrim Society
member Robert Lansing (1864-1928) who was Secretary of State,
1915-1920 and favored entering the war. In 1917, Lansing negotiated
with Kikujiro Ishii of Japan the Lansing-Ishii agreement, which gave
U.S. recognition to Japan's special interests in China. Japan
interpreted that the way the U.S./British warmongers intended, and
later invaded China. Recall the meeting described under Pilgrim
Society member Robert Fulton Cutting with the Imperial Japanese
delegation in 1917. Marburg was an extremely active member of
various other organizations feigning that they were in favor of
“peace,” but Pilgrim Society banker warmongers were behind them
all. He was chairman of the American Peace Congress in 1911.
Marburg was
a member of the Metropolitan Club (Washington) and the Century Club
(New York), which currently are well interlocked with insider
elitists. Marburg authored (1896) “The World’s Money Problem,” a
volume to evaluate. Probably the problem in his mind was, how he
and his elitist pals could control it all by first wrecking others.
In 1910 he wrote “The Peace Movement” and in 1917, “The League of
Nations.” Marburg and President Wilson jointly drew up the covenant
for the League of Nations---forerunner to the Pilgrim Society’s
second attempt at world government, the United Nations. Marburg’s
British associate, Sir Frederick Pollock (1845-1937, Pilgrims 1903),
wrote a very similar book in 1929 called “League of Nations.”
Pollock was a law professor at Oxford, 1883-1903 and was editor in
chief of Law Reports, 1895-1935. He was editor of Law Quarterly
Review, 1885-1919. Pollock corresponded with Oliver Wendell Holmes
Jr. (1841-1935) over a period of sixty years. Holmes Jr., a
Harvard graduate, was a United States Supreme Court justice from
1902-1932. The Pilgrim Society has maintained strong connections
with America’s highest court for more than a century.
A book
describing the relationship of Pollock with Holmes Jr. (1941) was
titled, “The Holmes-Pollock Letters.” Holmes Jr. is remembered in
some circles as the “father of judicial excess,” the reason must
have been his connections to British Royalty. You see, Pollock’s
father was Sir William Frederick Pollock (1815-1888) who was a
leading British judge starting in 1846, and in 1874 he was appointed
to be the Queen’s “remembrancer.” The grandfather was Sir Jonathan
Frederick Pollock (1783-1870) who was the “chief baron of the
Exchequer” (British Treasury Department). His brother David was
Chief Justice of British Bombay, and another brother was a Field
Marshall (general). A web page said that Jonathan Pollock’s
“numerous descendants” were “prominent in many fields.” Study any
Pilgrim Society member, you’ll often find he has British and
European connections dating back centuries!
Theodore
Marburg was also associated with the National Security League based
in New York, something that sounds ominously similar to things we
currently hear from the (King) George AM-BUSH administration. The
American Journal of International Law, volume 27, 1933, page 380
said that Marburg’s “services in the cause of better world
organization deserve the crown of high recognition.” Look at the
code language---“better world organization” (bring back the British
Empire hiding behind the League of Nations) and “the crown” being a
reference to the British Crown! Marburg was a driving force behind
the League to Enforce Peace (1915-1921), which supported American
entry into World War I, as Great Britain and The Pilgrims wanted.
Founders of the League to Enforce Peace (predecessor to the League
of Nations) included former President (1909-1913) William Howard
Taft. Much fuss is made on websites as to Taft having been a member
of Skull & Bones. I want to ask those sites---how come you haven’t
mentioned Taft being in The Pilgrims? It’s because they didn’t have
that information. When they get it, I suggest they get off the
Skull & Bones tangent and look at The Pilgrims, for Bones is merely
one of a number of conduits to the superior Society. The most
powerful man in these United States certainly appears to remain Mr.
David Rockefeller of Harvard University and The Pilgrim Society. He
doesn’t need Skull & Bones to be powerful. Joseph Richardson
Dilworth (see previous in this series) was Skull & Bones, Pilgrim
Society and a Rockefeller family agent; however, examples such as
Dilworth hardly equate to Skull & Bones controlling the Rockefeller
wealth, as Alexandra Robbins made the unsupportable claim on page 6
of her book. Dilworth did not tell David Rockefeller what to do, as
Rocky is in the inner circle, while Dilworth was a lieutenant whose
power was delegated to him.
William H.
Taft was Secretary of War in the Theodore Roosevelt (Pilgrim
Society) cabinet, so he knew something about “peace.” His father,
Alphonso Taft, was Secretary of War in the Grant administration two
generations earlier. Taft became Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, 1921-1930, preceding Pilgrim Society member Charles Evans
Hughes at that covert British Crown outpost! Another founder of the
League to Enforce the Peace was Hamilton Holt (born 1872), Pilgrim
Society member. In the 1927 Who’s Who Holt disclosed his
membership, but in the 1942 volume he didn’t mention it. This is a
phenomenon I’ve seen many times. It’s as if a central committee
suggested they go “underground,” knowing that most researchers seek
only current data. Holt was owner and editor of The Independent,
1913-1921, another major opinion-molding publication; the volumes
can be found in major libraries across the United States. Holt
assumed the presidency of Rollins College in 1925. He was president
of the third American Peace Congress; former president of the
American-Scandinavian Foundation; Friends of Poland; and the League
of Nations Non-Partisan Association. Holt was a trustee of the
Church Peace Union, funded by Andrew Carnegie in 1914 with $2
million as another world government front (Congressional Record,
August 21, 1940).
Time
Magazine, September 16, 1936 (quoted by Congressman Thorkelson,
September 3, 1940, page not stated) had this hair-raising
statement---
“When all
communications between the United States and Europe are cut off,
when radios go dead, when we are forbidden by decree to speak the
name of Jesus, when David, Duke of Windsor, takes an airplane to
Jerusalem, then we will know the conflict is at hand.”
These
allusions are to British Royalty---patrons of The Pilgrims---as King
David, heir to a spiritual and physical throne on earth promised by
God! To bring it about, they believe they must provoke World War
III, or Armageddon, now being brewed in the Middle East. Bear in
mind the links to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace,
its Pilgrim Society managers, and Andrew Carnegie, a loyalist to the
British Crown; and Carnegie’s funding of the League to Enforce the
Peace, of which President Taft, Marburg and Holt were managers!
Holt was a director of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation, named after
the president who got us into war after campaigning that he would
not do so! Holt “visited battlefronts of allied armies as guest of
various governments, 1918; went to Paris as head of League to
Enforce Peace; toured U.S., speaking for the league; visited Europe
again, 1919, 20, 22, 27, 30, 37; attended 2nd, 3rd,
8th assemblies League of Nations.”
Holt was
decorated by Japan (Order of Sacred Treasure; Greece (Order of
George I); France (Knight of the Legion of Honor); Italy (Order of
the Crown); Sweden (Knight of the North Star); and others. His
lectures included “Accomplishments of the League of Nations;”
“America and the World;” “The World Court” and others. He founded
the Netherlands-America Foundation; vice president, Italy-America
Society; chairman executive committee, Baltic-America Society; and
was a lecturer for the World Peace Foundation. In 1950 Joseph Esrey
Johnson (Harvard; The Pilgrims 1969 list) became president of the
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and a trustee of the
World Peace Foundation. The Spotlight, weekly that used to be
issued by Liberty Lobby, commented that Johnson sent out the
invitations to the Bilderberg meetings. They terminated my
subscription when I made an issue about The Pilgrims. They wanted
to focus on Bilderberg as the “leading globalist organization.”
Johnson attended the 1945 San Francisco United Nations Conference on
International Organization, the successor to the old League of
Nations, which the United States Senate wouldn’t quite allow America
to join! The mysteriously subversive Johnson was a director of the
United Nations Association and sat on the board of The Pilgrim
Society’s most important front organization, the Council on Foreign
Relations, from 1950-1974---
Herbert
Sherman Houston (born 1866) was listed in the 1927 Who’s Who, page
994 was chairman of the information committee (propaganda) and
member executive committee of the League to Enforce the Peace. From
1900-1921 he was vice president of Doubleday, Page & Company, a
large publishing house. From 1915-1917 he served as president of
Associated Advertising Clubs of the World. In 1921 he started Our
World, a magazine. He founded the Cosmos Newspaper Syndicate in
1924; became president of Cosmos Broadcasting Company; and was
involved with the Federal Council of Churches, another globalist
stab into the religious community. During World War I Houston was a
member of the U.S. Government Committee on Information.
Let’s make
another connection between the League to Enforce the Peace and the
League of Nations and its American sponsors, with British nobility.
The Pilgrims of Great Britain, circa 1969, lists two members of the
Cecil family (there may be intermarriages also beyond those 2
names). That family has been one of the three ruling families of
England since medieval times. The Vanderbilts intermarried with
them, and the Vanderbilts had several front men as founders of The
Pilgrims---Lindsay Russell; Chauncey Depew; and Joseph Hodges
Choate. The 1952 Who’s Who, page 418, listed Lord Edgar Algernon
Robert Gascoyne Cecil of Chelwood (born 1864) who married Lady
Eleanor Lambton, brother of Admiral Sir Hedworth Lambton (1856-1929)
was a founder of The Pilgrims. Lambton’s grandfather was one of the
Dukes of Abercorn, another of which turned up as a financial backer
of Cecil Rhodes, from whose wills The Pilgrims came into existence.
Odds are very great this Lord Cecil was also a member. He was a
member of Parliament beginning in 1906; undersecretary of state for
foreign affairs, 1915-1916; minister of blockade, 1916-1918; member
British delegation to Paris Peace Conference of 1919; Lord Privy
Seal, 1923-1924; Woodrow Wilson Peace Prize, 1924; Nobel Peace
Prize, 1937. Lord Cecil was chancellor of Birmingham University,
1918-1944 and was a member of the King’s Council. He was president
of both the League of Nations Union and the International Federation
of League of Nations Societies. His father in law was the 2nd
Earl of Durham. His brother became Baron Quickswood. His father
was the Marquess of Salisbury. Obviously the British Crown and its
secret Pilgrim Society are out to rule the planet, first attempting
it through the League of Nations, now attempting it through the
United Nations, with their American Pilgrim partners! James Waring
Davant, Pilgrim Society member who headed Paine Webber from
1971-1980, whose daughter Patricia married into the Du Pont fortune,
was a director of the United Nations Association---
The U.N.
Association grew out of the League of Nations Association. In 1966
Davant became a governor of the Bankers Club of America; Chairman,
Association of Stock Exchange Firms, 1966-1968; governor of the Bond
Club of New York, in 1965, and its president in 1972; governor of
the New York Stock Exchange starting in 1972; director of the
Securities Industry Association starting in 1972; director Essex
International and Green Giant Company.
One
additional note about Theodore Marburg. We noticed he was a vice
president in 1899-1901 of the anti-silver American Economic
Association. The driving force for the founding of the AEA was
Richard Theodore Ely (1854-1943). Page 756 of the 1942 Who’s Who
tells us Ely was “one of founders, secretary, 1885-1892, president,
1899-1901, American Economic Association.” He was also associated
with Johns Hopkins University, 1881-1892 as a professor of
“political economy,” another code-phrase for world government. Ely
was founder and president of the Institute for Economic Research.
Haven’t looked at it, but it must have been another fiat paper
front. Ely wrote “Monopolies and Trusts” (1900), a subject with
which he was certainly familiar with, considering the company he
kept. He wrote (1935) “The Great Change” and contributed articles
to magazines, and created three separate textbook series on
economics for Macmillan, a large publisher. Ely, who also studied
at the University of Heidelberg (like Marburg) was another member of
The Pilgrims---
The American
Economic Association listed as Richard T. Ely Lecturers the
following anti-silver individuals---Andrew F. Brimmer (1982)
ex-Federal Reserve governor, director of Du Pont, COMEX governor in
January 1980 when liquidation only in silver was ordered, destroying
the Hunts; George Pratt Shultz (1995) Standard Oil heir, director of
J.P. Morgan & Company, Pilgrim Society member; Martin S. Feldstein
(1996) Harvard Professor, director American International Group;
Lawrence H. Summers, anti-gold Treasury Secretary (probably a
member); and Mervyn A. King (2004, governor of the Bank of England
(very likely a member). The American Economic Association executive
committee features Ellen R. McGrattan of the Federal Reserve Bank of
Minneapolis.
OTHER
NONLISTED MEMBERS IN 1903
Others not
listed in the 1897-1942 Who Was Who volume, but have information
found on the web, include the following (remember, we are looking
primarily at the New York branch. The London branch will be
examined in a follow-up article). An outrageous example was William
Nottingham (1853-1921, Pilgrims 1903). He was a direct descendant
of the original William Nottingham (1640-1680) who was a lieutenant
with the English invasion force under the Duke of York (who later
became King James II) in wresting New Amsterdam from the Dutch in
1664. It was immediately renamed New York! The Duke of York was
the brother of King Charles II. Crown influence is so secretly
powerful in America that even our largest city bears one of its
names! The Dutch originally made a settlement at the mouth of the
Hudson River, named after Dutch explorer Henry Hudson, in 1626, and
bought Manhattan Island from the locals for $27. In 1673 the Dutch
sent two warships and boldly recaptured the area, of which they
called the surrounding areas the New Netherlands. In 1674 a treaty
was concluded with England to settle the Thirty Years War, and as
part of the terms, New York was returned to English control. In
1677 the Prince of Orange married the Duke of York’s daughter. They
later became King William III and Queen Mary II. Various Pilgrim
Society members are also decorated with the Order of Orange-Nassau.
In fact, as stated several times elsewhere in this series, British
nobility is heavily intermarried with old European Royalty, as we
will see more of later. That situation, plus the fact of Rothschild
influence in European finance, solidified the control of European
finance within The Pilgrims of Great Britain. Control of the
Japanese banking system was extended by treaty in 1902.
The William
Nottingham who became a charter Pilgrim Society member in
1903---reaffirming his family’s loyalty to the British Crown---was
the son of Van Vleck Nottingham. In other words, his ancestry was
blended with the Dutch, the same as the British Crown! The end of
hostilities in 1674 between England and the Netherlands signaled
cooperation versus competition in world trade (see “Silver Users And
Opium,” Archives). The Pilgrims of the United States, in fact, does
have a considerable Dutch ancestry, including names such as the Van
Rensselaers, of a huge land fortune, descended from a diamond
merchant. William Nottingham was a neighbor of John Archbold,
Standard Oil executive and assistant to John D. Rockefeller! Both
Nottingham and Archbold were trustees of Syracuse University.
Nottingham married Eloise Holden, whose family donated the Holden
Observatory to Syracuse University. Nottingham was an attorney and
owned Nottingham Farms. He organized the Syracuse Trust Company and
was a director of New York Telephone Company; Dyneto Electric
Company; and Empire State Railroad. He was president of the New
York State Bar Association in 1912. A genealogical investigation
might turn up another detail, such as an intermediary ancestor
between him and the original William Nottingham, having been a
loyalist opposing American independence during the Revolutionary
War.
We mentioned
King William III and Queen Mary II. The second oldest university in
the United States after Harvard, is the College of William and Mary,
at Williamsburg, Virginia (also site of the Rockefellers Colonial
Williamsburg Foundation, where Bilderberg once met). The College
was issued a Royal charter on February 8, 1693, the same year the
private Coutts Bank was started and a year before the Bank of
England was chartered! The chief British agent at the College of
William and Mary is Lawrence S. Eagleburger, board of visitors of
the College, Secretary of State, 1992-1993, Pilgrim Society
member---
Eagleburger
was a special assistant in 1965 to Pilgrim Society member Dean
Acheson, who was Secretary of State in 1949-1953 and believed in
some circles to be responsible for the Korean War. Acheson, also a
member of Scroll & Key Society of Yale (come on you Bones
proponents---see---other societies are also powerful, see page 60
“Secrets of the Tomb”) was decorated the Order of the Rising Sun of
Japan. And don’t forget the Hammer & Coffin Society at Stanford!
Acheson wrote “Present At The Creation” (1969), a reference to the
creation of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). On page 510
Acheson said---
“I performed
the duty of every Secretary of State by addressing a gala and
distinguished company of the London branch of the Society of
Pilgrims.”
You see, it
is the duty of our highest officials to consort with the British
Redcoats in London! When the British Ambassador arrives here, he
does not address Skull & Bones, he addresses The Pilgrims! After
receiving suitable “illumination” from Acheson Eagleburger was
with the National Security Council in 1966 and became an assistant
to Henry Kissinger (Pilgrim Society) in 1968. Eagleburger, a known
warmonger, authored “The Psychology of Peacekeeping” (1998).
Eagleburger is today president of Kissinger Associates! Richard
Fisher (CFR), who was till recently vice-chairman of Kissinger
Associates, became new president of the Federal Reserve Bank of
Dallas with its 1,420 employees, as of December 21, 2004. Bear in
mind that Kissinger himself is a wheelhorse for Pilgrim Society
member David Rockefeller. Fisher opened a Dallas office of Brown
Brothers, Harriman & Company in 1982, old Rockefeller allies,
Pilgrim Society and Skull & Bones Society members. (Lehman
Brothers; Goldman Sachs; Morgan Stanley; and Merrill Lynch, all
outranking Brown Brothers Harriman in size, are very strong on
Pilgrim Society members, but very weak on Bonesmen!)
Eagleburger
was installed on the boards of Josephson International; ITT
Corporation; Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York; Universal
Corporation; Comsat (Communications Satellite Corporation);
Halliburton; and Phillips Petroleum, where he sees Rhodes Scholar
David Boren, former Oklahoma Governor (in secret for the British
Crown!) Eagleburger was decorated a Knight of the British Empire in
1994 by Queen Elizabeth II. The law firm of Nottingham, Engel,
Gordon & Kerr is still active in Syracuse, New York.
Charles E.
Rushmore (dates undetermined, Pilgrims 1903) was a “prominent New
York lawyer” who went to the Black Hills of South Dakota in 1885 to
investigate mining claims. Mount Rushmore was named after him.
It’s appropriate; United States Presidents are in view of everyone;
Pilgrim Society members stand back of them, and remain invisible to
the public!
Cassatt,
Major E.B. and G.M. Cassatt (dates undetermined, Pilgrims 1903)
appear to be of the same Cassatt family that placed Senator
Philander Knox in office; the Cassatts were heavy holders of
Pennsylvania Railroad stock, a company that collaborated with
Standard Oil to help it squeeze out competitors.
Daniel O’
Day (dates undetermined, Pilgrims 1903) became president of the
Buffalo General Electric Utility Company, which harnessed the great
hydroelectric power of Niagara Falls. He was known as a “henchman”
for Standard Oil. O’ Day was mentioned by Ida M. Tarbell (1904) on
page 239 of “History of the Standard Oil Company”---
“On the
29th day of April, 1879, the Grand Jury of the County of Clarion
found an indictment against John D. Rockefeller, William
Rockefeller, Jabez A. Bostwick, Daniel O'Day, William G. Warden,
Charles Lockhart, Henry M. Flagler, Jacob J. Vandergrift and George
W. Girty. (Girty was the cashier of the Standard Oil Company.) There
were eight counts in the indictment, and charged, in brief, a
conspiracy for the purpose of securing a monopoly of the business of
buying and selling crude petroleum, and to prevent others than
themselves from buying and selling and making a legitimate profit
thereby; a combination to oppress and injure those engaged in
producing petroleum; a conspiracy to prevent others than themselves
from engaging in the business of refining petroleum, and to secure a
monopoly of that business for themselves; a combination to injure
the carrying trade of the Allegheny Valley and Pennsylvania Railroad
Companies by preventing them from receiving the natural petroleum
traffic; to divert the traffic naturally belonging to the
Pennsylvania carriers to those of other states by unlawful means;
and to extort from railroad companies unreasonable rebates and
commissions, and by fraudulent means and devices to control the
market prices of crude and refined petroleum and acquire unlawful
gains thereby.”
F.D.
Underwood (dates undetermined, Pilgrims 1903) was president of the
Erie Railroad, another Standard Oil collaborator and a director of
Chatham-Phenix National Bank; he was a governor of the Automobile
Club of America. He was also a director of the very important Wells
Fargo & Company, which became one of the world’s most powerful
banking organizations---
John J.
McCook (dates undetermined, Pilgrims 1903) was another director of
Wells Fargo & Company.
James
Gilbert White (born 1861, Pilgrims 1903) was profiled on page 2018
of the 1927 Who’s Who. He was “in the open,” meaning, his sketch
contained “The Pilgrims” in it. In the absence of specialized
knowledge no one reading that would ascribe any special significance
to it---just another one of many thousands of social clubs or other
organizations in America! White became an engineering contractor in
New York in 1890. J.G. White & Company opened up offices in
Washington, D.C. and London, becoming the J.G. White Engineering
Corporation. He became president of General Reinsurance Corporation
and a “director of various public utility corporations” and of the
American-Russian Industrial Syndicate. He was a member of the
Italy-America Society and the Japan Society (Pilgrim Society fronts)
probably because he was doing business in those countries or planned
to. White was a member of the National Civic Federation (already
described) and was a vice president of the Pan-American Society,
representing the “robber barons” interests South of the U.S. White
was a member of New York clubs with which the Society is interlocked
including India House; Bankers; Metropolitan; University; Recess;
Cornell; Blind Brook; and Ranelagh (London). Various members of the
Society have been associated with the J.G. White firm over the
years.
James
Christian Stewart (1865-1942, Pilgrims 1903) appeared “in the open”
in the 1943 Who’s Who. He went into the construction contracting
business as James Stewart & Company in 1892. Headquarters was moved
to New York in 1920. The firm rebuilt the waterfront and granite
seawall at Galveston, Texas, after the great hurricane of 1900
(greatest natural disaster in American history, over 6,000
fatalities). Stewart built the Allen County Courthouse at Fort
Wayne, Indiana (9 floors) in 1902. He built the British
Westinghouse Works at Manchester, England; the Savoy Hotel in
London, for many years headquarters of The Pilgrims of Great
Britain; he reconstructed the Mersey River Tunnel at Liverpool,
England, and much of the London underground railway systems;
designed the first “woven cable submarine mats” at the mouths of the
Thames and Humber Rivers; built Grand Central Palace, New York (35
floors, 1911); built the Utah State Capitol building (five floors);
the Oklahoma State Capitol building; large grain silos (or
“elevators”) in Buffalo and Oswego, New York; Riverside Apartments
at Philadelphia; dredged 65 miles of the New York Barge Canal; built
the National Board of Fire Underwriters Building, Manhattan (15
floors, 1926); 230 Park Avenue (35 floors, 1929); American
International Building (66 floors, 1932); New York Central Office
Building; 60 Wall Tower, New York (then 3rd tallest in
world); constructed the Navy Docks at New Orleans; built aircraft
plants and “many government buildings in the U.S. and France.” He
owned Stewart Realty, Stewart Land Company and was a director of
Continental Baking (baking, not banking) Corporation.
Lindsay
Russell (born 1870, Pilgrims 1903, executive committee) was born in
Wilmington, North Carolina. According to page 1664 of the 1927
Who’s Who, he “studied law with ex-governor Russell of North
Carolina.” Daniel L. Russell (1845-1908) was North Carolina
Governor, 1897-1901 and was a delegate to the 1876 Republican
National Convention and served in the Confederate army. These
Russells don’t appear related to the William H. Russell who founded
Skull & Bones in 1832. Lindsay Russell had a law degree from the
University of Michigan. His listing said “married;” but didn’t say
to whom. He was a director of American Surety Company and The
Independent (magazine, see Hamilton Holt, already referenced).
Russell held decorations from Japan and Italy. The listing
says---“chairman Council on Foreign Relations; director New York
Peace Society; member Southern Society. Clubs---Metropolitan,
Tuxedo, Lawyers. Founded, 1901, and chairman Pilgrims Society of
London & New York; founded, 1907, and president Japan Society of
N.Y.---both for promotion of international friendship.”
The CFR
annual report for 1975-1976 (I reached for the closest copy) page
117, Historical Roster of Officers, shows the first chairman as R.C.
Leffingwell, 1946-1953. That was Pilgrim Society member Russell C.
Leffingwell of the Morgan interests. Curious that they deemed it
important to cover up Russell’s participation! In “Pilgrim
Partners---Forty Years of British-American Fellowship,” page 11, Sir
Harry Brittain, another Pilgrim Society founder, remarked that
Russell was “incidentally engaged at that time to a relative of
mine.” As an attorney Russell did some work for the Vanderbilts; so
it’s reasonable to see him as a Vanderbilt front man---an operative
founding organizations so they could, like the Rothschilds, better
remain in the background. He gave the founding year of The Pilgrims
as 1901. Actually it was 1902. Possibly what he meant was it was
being organized in 1901.
SOME POINTS
IN CLOSING
Sir Harry
Brittain (1873-1974, Pilgrims 1902, one of the organizers) is a man
whose life we need to take a look at in closing. A detailed
discussion of other members of The Pilgrims of Great Britain will be
presented when time allows. I find it necessary to fire another
broadside at the concept that Skull & Bones Society is “running the
country” or “running the world.” It is doing so, only in the same
sense that a network of Rhodes Scholars---as only one other
example---is doing so. I will attempt to make the case, again when
time permits, that the Rhodes Scholars are a more influential
network than Skull & Bones. Antony Sutton bears the early blame for
misdirecting the public towards Skull & Bones as the “center of
power.” Much more recently, Alexandra Robbins, quite an attractive
woman, bears the fault for doing so. We must not decide arguments
based on academic credentials, or physical appearance; but rather,
on facts presented. Her book, in many places, is very light on
facts. Here’s what Sutton said (page 39) of his 1986 book
“America’s Secret Establishment”---
"The Order
does not show up directly on the Executive Committee of the Pilgrim
Society, but only through family names, i.e., Aldrich and Pratt. The
Pilgrim Society is probably a rather harmless social club using its
annual dinners to cement ties between the British and American
establishment."
By the Order
he means Skull & Bones. We already know the two organizations have
an interlock by means of a few specific members and yes, there is
also a family interlock. If we take the view that the British and
American establishments are a greedy gang of warmongers who’ve
flooded the world with essentially valueless paper currencies, then
we cannot consider them harmless. Sutton is in error, or has
intentionally sent out a false signal. The Pilgrims is “the senior,
Anglo-American Society,” whereas operations such as Skull & Bones
and the Rhodes Scholars---in both of which, very young men are
admitted---are junior operations. If you contrast the members of
the Council on Foreign Relations who aren’t Bonesmen (probably over
95%) to known Bonesmen, you will conclusively behold that the CFR
members have their hands on many more levers of power than do the
Bonesmen. It is a seriously misleading fallacy to postulate that
all the leading power brokers of America must come from Yale, and
having come from Yale, must be Bonesmen. What do we do with all the
other powerful people of the country who aren’t Bonesmen? Simple!
We see the framework in light of their membership in The Pilgrim
Society---which far transcends any one university! If you
read the entire remarks of Montana Congressman Thorkelson in the
Congressional Record from August 19 through September 5, 1940, you
will be convinced The Pilgrims are anything but “a rather harmless
social club.” Strong evidence is presented that points to The
Pilgrims causing both World Wars!
Since The
Pilgrims organization in 1903, every United States President has
been a member---all 18 of them. However, only three have been
Bonesmen---Taft and the Bushes (and they were also Pilgrims). Less
than 17% have been Bonesmen, whereas 100% have been Pilgrims. How
stubborn must any of us be before we recognize which organization
sits atop the heap? The following website---though it
contains needless typographical or transcription errors, is
headlined, “U.S. Elite Are Slaves Of The Royal Scheme” and draws on
Thorkelson and Whiteford for background information
www.blessedquietness.com/journal/prophecy/elite2.htm
“COMMENTS
ON THE CONGRESSMAN'S SPEECH
Congressman
Thorkelson speech was based on Sir Uncle Sam, Knight of the British
Empire by John J. Whiteford (1940). This book was described: "The
history of a little known society promoting the aims of world
government (covert British Empire) and how they pushed us into World
War II in an effort to bring us back under the control of the Crown!
A look at the leadership of the infamous Pilgrim Society which
included the Rockefeller, Cecil Rhodes, Andrew Carnegie, and many,
many more of our elitists!"
Sir Harry
Brittain's Pilgrim Partners: Forty Years of British-American
Fellowship (1942) was once described by a bookseller (who was asking
$85): "House publication of the mysterious, super-elite Pilgrim
Society, the interface of the American and British Anglophile
elites...very, very rare. The author's letters were: KBE, CMG, DL,
LLD.
Aside from
those listed by Thorkelson, two other Pilgrims can be identified.”
If you want
to read about Sir Harry Brittain, I suggest you enter his name +
Pilgrims in
www.google.com for photos of him with Lord Astor. The website
operator said two other members were identified. I take a risk---a
chance---for tooting my own horn---but this is the most important of
my life’s work---to reveal the Society, as many of its certifiable
members as possible---and to eventually pressure release of complete
current lists. These they dare not release since there is no one
back of them; it is not a front; its nucleus is the inner circle.
If they’re not in the shadows any longer, their plans can be
thwarted. In closing, let’s take a brief look at Brittain as an
example of the global reach of The Pilgrims---as opposed to the more
restricted reach of Skull & Bones. There is an Italian based
website that is aware of the British Empire’s global ambitions,
www.disinformazione.it/pilgrims.htm the translating function
leaves much to be desired, however here are some quotations in
regards to The Pilgrim Society---
“The most
illustrious world-wide personalities.”
“The final
result is always a new attack to the national sovereignties and one
pushed towards the centralized government of the world.”
“The
Pilgrims Society remained hidden until relatively recent
years, to identify the apex of power.”
Sir Harry
Brittain (1873-1974) is mentioned at the website. It was noted that
he was also a member of the Fabian Society of Great Britain, which
we briefly looked at the beginning of this report. From the 1974
St. Martin’s Press Who’s Who, pages 392-393 we find many details on
Sir Harry. His father in law was Sir Robert Harvey (another member)
who left for the Bolivian copper mines in 1872 to start his
fortune. In 1883 he returned to England to organize the Liverpool
and Colorado Nitrate Company, having bought into that industry at
distressed rates with a London based syndicate. He also set up the
San Pablo Nitrate Company; San Jorge Nitrate Company; Railways of
Chile Limited; Antofagasta & Bolivia Railway; Anglo-South American
Bank; Tarapaca Water Works; Iquique Gas Company; and Tarapaca Silver
Mines. He was knighted in 1901 and became president of the Royal
Institution of Cornwall. He married Alida Godefroy of a French
family prominent in Peru. Harvey owned large estates in Cornwall
and Devonshire.
Harry was
co-chairman of the Committee to Commemorate 100 Years of Peace
Between Great Britain and the United States, 1912-1914. Funny how
descendants of British Redcoat generals who attacked us in earlier
times, turned up in the list of The Pilgrims of Great Britain, circa
1969, including Lord Cornwallis. Then they form a committee to
celebrate the peace they speak of; mention wasn’t made of British
subversion in our finances with several central banks, including the
most recent one they fastened on is in 1913; nor was mention made of
the financial panics they caused with participation of traitorous
rich here; nor of British attempts to create two nations here during
the Civil War. The fact that August Belmont, Northern financier
linked strongly to London, and Confederate General Joseph Wheeler,
were both charter members, proves that Britain had an interest in
the outcome of the war; and probably that they had a lot to do with
fomenting the war; and warships for the South were built in England.
What
avenues of exploitation would the British have pursued if the Civil
War resulted in a stalemate, and two countries established? By
having two nations here, based on hostilities, the British would
have remained more free to “develop” the rest of the globe by
dampening competition. Other wars could be staged for profit.
Lincoln ended up an assassination victim. Very curiously, President
McKinley was taken to the home of John G. Milburn (who was a charter
member) after being shot.
Sir Harry
was once a trustee of Sulgrave Manor, ancestral home of George
Washington’s home in England. It is doubtful that Washington would
have approved of a Redcoat organization taking control of his
family’s estate. Sir Harry, working with Sir Arthur Pearson,
created the Tariff Reform League and Tariff Commission in 1903, to
gain advantages for British interests. Pearson was owner of the
Evening Standard and the Daily Express. Sir Harry organized the
first Imperial Press Conference in 1909 and founded the Empire Press
Union, whose name later changed to the Commonwealth Press Union. On
page 5 of “Pilgrims and Pioneers” (1945) he said---
“I did my
best to bring together, for the first time, the editors of the
leading papers from every part of the British Empire, in order to
strengthen understanding and co-operation throughout the
Commonwealth.”
After page
208 we find a photo of over 110 attendees at the Imperial Press
Conference held in Melbourne Australia in 1925. Previous to page
257 we notice another photo of the 1930 Imperial Press Conference at
Westminster Hall in London. There appeared to be upwards of 500
members of the press present from all over the British Commonwealth.
Page 151 Sir
Harry mentioned his 1942 book “Pilgrim Partners: Forty Years of
Anglo-American Fellowship”---
“H.M. the
King, our Patron, graciously accepted the first specially bound
copy, and President Roosevelt did me the honour of accepting the
other.”
Opposite
page 129 is a photo of Sir Harry posing with King George V, Queen
Mary, the American Ambassador, Walter Page, and Admiral Sims, United
States Navy. King George V, Patron of The Pilgrims (below)---
Don’t anyone
ask do I believe the British Royal family controls The Pilgrim
Society, or if the other members “take orders from them.” Not being
on the inside, I cannot say. In some ways, it looks like it. There
was one Rothschild in the 1969 list. But the genealogy of the
Windsors traces to German nobility House of Saxe-Coburg, many other
links exist between British Royalty and other European Royalty going
back centuries before the Rothschilds were wealthy, and the wealth
represented might top the Rothschilds. All such matters are
unknowable. All we can be sure of is these power blocs of
ultra-rich have aligned with each other in The Pilgrims to crush the
nonaligned rich, and to get rid of the middle class; for such a
class cannot exist under feudalism.
Opposite
page 161 is a photo of Sir Harry and the members of the Franklin
Roosevelt Memorial Committee including Waldemar Gallman (American
Minister in London); Sir Campbell Stuart; Viscount Greenwood and
others. Gallman married Marjorie Gerry of a family associated with
Brown Brothers, Harriman & Company. Greenwood and Stuart were
chairmen of The Pilgrims London executive committee at times. Page
68 of the 2002 Pilgrims book shows a photo of Sir Campbell Stuart
and the caption reads in part that “his ancestors were Empire
loyalists who emigrated to Canada at the time of the American War of
Independence.” Is it not strange that men descended from “British
Empire loyalists” were involved in founding an organization named
for an extremely important American President---Franklin Delano
Roosevelt (his grandfather, Warren Delano, was involved with the
British Opium trade!) FDR got us into the British fomented Second
World War! Before page 193 we find a photo of President Theodore
Roosevelt (Pilgrims United States) signed by him and dated October
24, 1911, given to Sir Harry 34 years earlier.
Sir Harry
was the British representative on the American Citizens Emergency
Committee starting in 1914, set up to beat the drums for American
participation in the coming World War; he was “on special mission
throughout the USA” in 1915 in that capacity. His 1945 book
features a photo after page 128 with the caption, “The author
entertaining American officers at his home in Westminster.”
Nineteen military officials posed with him. How wonderful that our
“former” enemy, Great Britain, cleverly found ways to use America to
fight their wars for them. Next to that photo is another of Lord
Grey of Howick, Governor-General of Canada (Pilgrims London).
Before page 225 is a photo of Sir Harry with the Marquess of
Reading, British Viceroy of India, who was a director of a major
Canadian railway corporation (page 221); Pilgrim Society members
from London have always appeared on the boards of major Canadian
enterprises.
Sir Harry
was perhaps the most active British Empire activist in the history
of The Pilgrim Society. He was sent on a mission to the Brazilian
government in 1912-1913 and was a member of the Canadian and
Australian War Contingent Committees in 1914. He served on the
staff of General Lloyd in 1916; he founded and chaired the American
Officers Club in London, 1917-1919; founded the Association of
American Correspondents in London, 1919; served as president of the
British International Association of Journalists, 1920-1922, and
took delegates with him on excursions to Czechoslovakia; Holland;
Belgium and Romania as guests of those governments; organized the
first Conference of Students of the Universities of the Empire in
1924; became Patron to the Society of Women Writers and Journalists
in 1925; vice president, Royal Commonwealth Society, 1927; on
executive committee, Empire Parliamentary Association, 1919-1929;
founder, British Travel Association, 1929; member of the council,
London Chamber of Commerce, 1930-1951; British delegate to the
Congress of the International Chambers of Commerce at Washington,
1931 and again at Vienna Austria in 1933; founder, Oxford Society,
1932; Co-founder, McGill Society of Great Britain, 1936 (after
McGill University in Canada); Gold Staff Officer at Royal
Coronation, 1937; honorary president, Friends of Italy, 1936-1939
(were the London banking interests involved with Benito Mussolini?);
president, Incorporated Sales Managers Association, 1938-1944; vice
president, Institute of Export, 1938-1947; chairman, St. George’s
School at Harpenden, 1938-1947; member, Interparliamentary Union,
beginning in 1942; trustee, Westminster Fund; member, Anglo-American
Brains Trust, 1942-1944 (described verbatim); member Council,
Economic League (anti-silver) until after WWII; president, Reptonian
Society, 1950-1951; president, Yorkshire Society, 1956-1957;
recipient Astor Award, Commonwealth Press Union, 1973; and others.
For brief supportive research, see
www.rense.com/general62/britt.htm for “The Power of the British
Commonwealth Over the World,” especially as it relates to votes in
the United Nations!
Another of
Sir Harry’s books was “America and the German Menace” (1917). As
Gary Allen pointed out in his landmark work “None Dare Call It
Conspiracy,” Germany was becoming a stiff competitor with Britain in
world markets and the war solved that “problem,” plus it created an
excuse for the British Crown to offer world government to the
nations through the League of Nations, which happily failed. The
United Nations, however, is very much in the forefront of globalism
today, and is a front for the British and their American and
European allies in attempts to merge the world’s nations, which I
believe won’t quite succeed. However, in such attempts, we will
certainly witness a Third World War, likely beginning in Iran at any
time in the near future---courtesy of The Pilgrims of Great Britain
and The Pilgrims of the United States.
Sir Harry
appeared in a photo opposite page 144 of his 1945 book, with the
Duke of Teck---another member of The Pilgrim Society. The Duke of
Teck represented enormous wealth, he was the
brother in law of the King of England; he married into the Grosvenor
family, whose chieftain today, the Duke of Westminster, another
member of The Pilgrims with a $6 billion personal fortune (just his
admitted assets), owns 300 acres at the west end of downtown London,
owns vast tracts of land in 14 nations where he’s a real estate
developer, has an interest in Associated British Foods and has a
large position in the $600 billion plus National Westminster Bank.
Teck’s ancestry traced directly to such British and European royalty
figures as the Hanovers (remember we had the huge Manufacturers
Hanover bank, long headed by Gabriel Hauge of The Pilgrims, who
presided over the 1975 International Monetary Conference in
Amsterdam); to the Duke of Wurttemberg; the Hesse-Cassels; and the
Dutch royal House of Nassau, historically heavy owners of Royal
Dutch Petroleum stock and the Societe Generale de Belgique, a huge
conglomerate with worldwide holdings.
Another of
Sir Harry’s Pilgrim Society pals was the Duke of Devonshire, who he
mentioned on page 228, who at the time was British Governor-General
of Canada. If you see the 1967 film, “The Viking Queen,” about the
Roman conquest of the British Isles, you hear the term
Governor-General being mentioned. This isn’t the place to delve
into genealogies that appear to extend back in time, for many
centuries. But British nobility appears to have roots tracing to
Roman times---and a thirst for conquest, just as unquenchable. The
Duke of Devonshire’s symbol appears below---
Page 129
tells of Lord Tweedsmuir (Pilgrims), who was with British
Intelligence during World War I and married Charlotte Grosvenor,
cousin of the Duke of Westminster (Pilgrims). The Duke has
frequently been cited as Britain’s wealthiest individual, whose
holdings exclusive of those in England worth many billions; but
don’t forget the wily Rothschilds and Windsors! Lord Tweedsmuir
became Baron Tweedsmuir in 1935 upon becoming Governor-General of
Canada---
Another Lord
Tweedsmuir appeared in The Pilgrims of Great Britain list, circa
1969, along with the expected assortment of Earls, Dukes, Viscounts,
Lords and other titled hereditary aristocrats---the Earl of Elgin
and Kincardine (another opium heir); Lord McFadzean of Woldingham
(Rio Tinto Zinc---RTZ; Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce; Midland
Bank; British Nuclear Forum); Lord Nelson of Stafford (Bank of
England; British Aircraft; International Marine); Viscount Harcourt
(International Monetary Fund; World Bank; Morgan, Grenfell &
Company) and many others. The entire London international banking
community was/is represented, starting with Sir Julian Crossley, The
Pilgrims finance committee chairman, an official of Barclay’s Bank
International.
Hong Kong &
Shanghai Bank, now known as HSBC Bank Group, one of the biggest
banks in existence, that got its start in the Opium Trade, has a
subsidiary, HSBC U.S., recently listed as a Silver Users Association
member, and operates a COMEX affiliated silver warehouse. Many
members of The Pilgrims of Great Britain had/have roots in the
extremely profitable opium trade, which sucked staggering amounts of
silver out of China (see “Silver Users And Opium,” Archives). Sir
Harry was noted (page 15, 2002 book) as being pals with
“aristocrats” such as the Earl of Aberdeen and the Duke of
Newcastle, charter members of The Pilgrims. The Earl of Aberdeen in
1902 was the son of the 4th Earl of Aberdeen, who was
British Foreign Secretary beginning in 1828 and again in 1841-1847
and handled many affairs pertaining to the Chinese Opium trade. The
Earl became Prime Minister in 1852 and was involved with the Crimean
War; in 1813 he formed an alliance of European powers to combat
Napoleon, who he met years before that. The 4th Earl of
Aberdeen---
Sir Harry
posed with opium heir Lord Astor at a meeting of The Pilgrims (page
152, 2002 book). Astor as you may recall descended from John Jacob
Astor, founder of the world’s greatest real estate fortune, and main
domestic power in the second Bank of the United States. Montana
Congressman Jacob Thorkelson, Congressional Record, August 19, 1940,
referred to an address by Joseph H. Choate, Vanderbilt family
operative, one of the founders of The Pilgrims, as saying that those
who would many years later celebrate the start of the second century
of The Pilgrims in 2003---
“…will have
cause to bless their fathers that they founded this Society and
kept the world on the right track.”
If dealing
in monumental quantities of opium; monopolizing money creation
through central banks; destabilizing civilization by removing real
money---gold and silver---from the system; forming petroleum
cartels; banking trusts; creating money panics and depressions;
nationalizing gold and silver; fomenting revolutions in other
nations to destroy competitors holdings; foreclosing on millions of
homes through home equity schemes and job outsourcing; exporting
industry overseas; flooding the country with foreign made products,
bringing ruin to small American manufacturers who cannot compete
with subsistence wages; causing World Wars; invading and occupying
other nations under false pretexts; bankrupting other rich men who
aren’t members; getting rid of the middle class through
globalization; working to give the United Nations control over all
national internal affairs; cartelizing pharmaceuticals, vitamins,
minerals and herbs through CODEX; seeing to it that Americans are
charged as much as possible for drugs that are little better than
poisons; and sucking everyone dry through a grand plan that centers
around medicine, treatments and cures (which is why Pilgrim Society
member James Baker III, former Secretary of State, controls the
Howard Hughes Medical Research Institute, $12.9 billion in research
funds) all amounts to “keeping the world on the right track,” then
we are looking straight at the devil’s own viewpoint.
Dear friends in silver and gold, I am sorry to disturb your peace of
mind; but unless something is done to bring The Pilgrim Society “Hic
Et Ubique” (Here And Everywhere) into the light of day to be
understood with appropriate outrage by millions of Americans---we
will have no nation left from the Founding Fathers. Medicine,
treatment and coming cures are under the control of The Pilgrim
Society, and will TRUMP our precious metals investments.
Because---if you or a loved one is in desperate physical need---how
much would you give for help, when the only place you can obtain it,
is from some entity controlled by the World Money Power? That’s
right! All they will charge is your entire net worth!
Sitting on
your precious metals investments till the price explodes isn’t
enough to safeguard your future. One thing alone can do that---send
enough men like Andrew Jackson to Congress, till the moneychangers
are routed out.
I'd like to thank
Charles Savoie for writing this most popular article and we wish to
acknowledge
Independent Living Bullion for
bringing that fact to our attention.
