“A GIGANTIC CONSPIRACY WAS FORMED IN LONDON AND NEW YORK TO DEMONETIZE SILVER”---Martin Walbert, “The Coming Battle—A Complete History of the National Banking Money Power in the United States” (1899)
Myron T. Herrick, Pilgrims Society (Who Was Who In America, 1897-1942, page 555) was chairman of Union Carbide & Carbon Company (industrial silver user), member Republican National Committee, Ambassador to France, Governor of Ohio, director New York Life Insurance and president American Bankers Association (anti-silver) ---
Cordell Hull, Pilgrims Society, was Secretary of State and chaired the American delegation to the World Monetary & Economic Conference of London from June 12 to July 27, 1933, held at the Geological Museum, in which his British pals in The Pilgrims Society agreed on behalf of their sinister government that it would limit its silver dumping out of British India to 35 to 50MOZ per annum (Commercial & Financial Chronicle, December 23, 1933, page 4440) ---
The Times, London, June 28, 1933, page 9 said--- “The Pilgrims organization had become renowned throughout the world BY CEMENTING BETTER RELATIONS BETWEEN ALL THE NATIONS.” Yet, the Society remains known to very few, and the extremely rare references to them in the public record apparently function to fend off the allegation that they are a Secret Society.
Hull wrote the Federal Income Tax statute of 1913 and its 1916 revision and the inheritance tax law of 1916. The king makers behind him knew they’d be exempt from inheritance tax via their foundations and trusts; another way to prevent capital formation outside The Society. Hull was the longest serving Secretary of State, 1933-1944 and known as "the father of the United Nations" http://www.cordellhull.org/english/About_Us/Biography.asp another giant organization of extreme importance tracing back to a Pilgrims Society member!
Herbert B. Swope, Pilgrims Society, was a U.S. delegate to the World Monetary & Economic Conference of 1933 at London in which silver was again dealt blows while being given lip service only. He was chief correspondent of The New York World at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 and was a member of the War Industries Board. The 1940 Who’s Who, page 2518 shows him a “member of executive committee of Columbia Broadcasting System, Brooklyn Manhattan Transit and N.Y. Rapid Transit; and director Queens Traction; member Council, National Civil Service Reform; member N.Y. State Planning Board; vice chairman N.Y. State Committee on Emergency Public Works, 1932-1933; member State and City executive committee of National Recovery Administration; member executive committee Senator Wagner’s and Governor Lehman’s campaigns; delegate to National Democratic Convention and member executive committee, 1932 and 1936; former director National Public Housing Conference; member executive committee, N.Y. Unemployment Relief, 1932-1933; member executive committee Voluntary Defenders League; member American Society of Newspaper Editors (one of the founders); Council on Foreign Relations. Address---30 Rockefeller Plaza”---
Herbert Swope once won $470,000 in a single poker game in a small example of how Pilgrims Society members “seize the wealth necessary” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Bayard_Swope The 1948 Who’s Who, pages 2428-2429 shows he became "chairman of Overseas News Agency; consultant to Secretary of War, 1942-1946; received 2 Pulitzer Prizes; member U.S. delegation to United Nations Atomic Energy Commission which prepared plan for Atomic Control; Pilgrims.” His older brother Gerard Swope, president of General Electric, was also a Pilgrims Society member. The earlier volume showed Herbert as a member of the Commission of Crime Control in New York. What a laugh! They sabotage silver to impoverish the world then show themselves public spirited citizens by clamping down on small scale criminals!
The 1934 book, "The Money Muddle" by James Warburg, reviewed in Time Magazine, May 21, 1934, revealed the view of his father, Pilgrims Society member Paul Warburg, known as the "father of the Federal Reserve Act," that monetization of silver is wrong! They are an important family dynasty of The Pilgrims Society and Sir Siegmund Warburg, the creator of the Eurobond market, was mentioned by Business Week Magazine in "A European Prefers Wall Street," November 23, 1974, pages 92-93---he "COUNTS AMONG HIS FRIENDS SOME OF THE MOST POWERFUL MEN IN THE WORLD" ---
London financiers, leaders of a group of would-be gods!
Manipulating gold, silver, currencies, and opium pods!
University economists lying for them, getting their nods,
Telling us paper money is wealth, miserable clods!
S.G. Warburg & Company merged into Swiss Bank Corporation in 1995. Ted Butler has often alleged Swiss banks to have sold huge amounts of unbacked silver certificates; this of course in addition to serious fraud would represent another major element of silver price suppression. As of late 2010 we see reports of large banks stalling when called on by clients to take delivery of stored (?) silver, and offers of cash instead! Warburg’s fellow Pilgrims Society member, Lord Roll of Ipsden, was a governor of the Bank of England, 1968-1977, and chaired the Society’s unofficial subsidiary for indoctrinating transitory heads of state, the Bilderberg meetings, from 1986-1989. Warburg’s son George appeared in the leaked 1969 list for London.
King Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor, Royal Patron of the fiat money creators, The Pilgrims Society, with Hitler in 1937---
The Commercial & Financial Chronicle, January 1, 1938, page 45, noted that Federal Reserve Bank of New York official, W. Randolph Burgess, in a speech to the American Economic Association (banker prostitute professors) advocated lowering the price of silver. Page 47, in continued coverage of the speech, noted that in place of gold payments, Burgess suggested what he called "THE STATISTICAL EQUIVALENT OF GOLD." How can mere numbers substitute for physical commodity? Burgess chaired the anti-silver American Bankers Association in 1944-1945 and was an executive of the predecessor to Citigroup. It’s unclear which year Burgess became a Pilgrims Society member; he never so stated in any Who’s Who volume but appeared in the leaked 1969 list. Does the Society care to disavow any names as members? No, the Society wants to remain silent, and in the dark! At that time silver was federally fixed (Fascism) at 77.57 cents per ounce; as of the January 8, 1938 Commercial & Financial Chronicle, the Treasury responded to this central banker’s suggestion by lowering the silver price to 64.64 cents per ounce (Fascism!) Life Magazine showed Burgess at the American Embassy in Paris, France, circa 1957, the year he became U.S. Ambassador to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) hob-nobbing with Rhode Island Senator, Silver Users Association ally Theodore Green; below he’s seen with silver price suppressor, New York Senator Jacob Javits (more on Javits later on!) ---
"THE EASTERN BANKERS HAVE THE IDEA THAT SILVER HAS NO PLACE IN THE MONETARY SYSTEM."
---Arizona Congressman John Murdock, New York Times, September 21, 1942, page 26
The Saturday Evening Post, October 31, 1942, gave the banker shill, Walter Spahr, a sounding board for his attack on silver money. The article was titled "Silver Scandal" and the American Economic Association member vilified monetary silver as a tool of "currency expansionists" which is like calling a protective parent an ally of child molesters! The Saturday Evening Post was owned by publishing magnate Cyrus Curtis, Pilgrims Society (1850-1933) whose Saturday Evening Post and Ladies Home Journal once accounted for 40% of all magazine advertising revenues in America; his fortune in 2008 dollars was reckoned to be $43.2 billion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrus_Hermann_Kotzschmar_Curtis ---
In "More Sense About Silver" on December 24, 1942, page 14, the New York Times spoke of metal" referred to silver as being "a metal of declining monetary usefulness." At that time the publisher of the great newspaper was Arthur Hays Sulzberger, Pilgrims Society, who also had hydroelectric power interests and was a Rockefeller Foundation trustee from 1939 to 1957---
Left to right, New York Times publishers, all tawdry Pilgrims Society members---Adolph S. Ochs (1896-1935); Arthur Hays Sulzberger (1935-1961); Orvil E. Dryfoos (1961-1963); Arthur Ochs Sulzberger (1963-1992); and Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr., 1992 to present.
Bring up taboo topics,
I get that deer in the headlights look;
Some call me an editor,
What I am really is a crook!
While the great newspaper is a prime source of information on silver history, its editorial slant has been oriented against silver for well over a century; three examples will suffice---The New York Times, January 23, 1878, page 4, called silver coins a “drug” and the silver trade dollars (1873-1885) a “nuisance.”
“SILVER MUST BE REGARDED AS A VERY THREATENING CLOUD ON THE OTHERWISE CLEAR HORIZON OF THE NATIONAL FINANCES.”---New York Times, July 9, 1878, page 4
“THE FUTURE HISTORIAN WILL REGARD THE SILVER DELUSION IN THIS COUNTRY FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS AS ONE OF THE MOST INEXPLICABLE AND UNREASONABLE HALLUCINATIONS WHICH EVER TOOK POSSESSION OF A COMMUNITY.”---“The Silver Hallucination,” editorial, New York Times, October 11, 1878, page 4
The Nation, the oldest weekly magazine in continuous publication in the United States since 1865, featured and article “Silver Without Sense” in its May 2, 1934 edition; page 494 refers to “THE SILVER MANIACS” and stated---
“SILVER IS NOT EVEN BY THE GREATEST STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION A BASIC COMMODITY.”
That’s such a richly poisonous allegation by a synthetic money bandwagon member! Franklin Roosevelt, Pilgrims Society gold and silver stealer, was a contributor to The Nation. On November 6, 1873, The Nation posted an anti-silver article, “Ministers of Finance.” Other contributors have included Communist Leon Trotsky and confetti currency advocate John Maynard Keynes.
Pilgrims Society member Richard T. Ely (Who’s Who, 1940, page 862) was a founder in 1885 of the anti-silver American Economic Association. (The Ford Foundation, led by such Pilgrims Society members as Henry T. Heald, John J. McCloy and Paul G. Hoffman, has supported the AEA). The AEA has 18,000 members, at least half are university professors, and it’s sponsored by the Vanderbilts, a founding family of The Pilgrims Society. 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 (Silver Users Association members), COMEX governor in January 1980 when liquidation only in silver was ordered, destroying the Hunts; George P. Shultz (1995) former Secretary of State, ex- director of J.P. Morgan & Company, Pilgrims 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 has featured Ellen R. McGrattan of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Take cover of AEA Journal, laminate, and place in bottom of your toilet bowl. http://www.vanderbilt.edu/AEA/index.htm Ely---
Swing a dead chicken, utter a voodoo chant,
But without gold & silver, you really can’t,
Fix the money system, hear the stupid rant,
Of the prostitute economist, who shows his slant!
As the economist wipes the pus from his eyes;
We look at him, and he’s covered with flies!
He stands in supreme disgrace;
Lying for bankers all over the place!
Myers in "History of the Great American Fortunes," (first edition 1907), page 368, noted of the Vanderbilts ---
"THAT THEIR EXTORTION'S REACHED HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR WAS A PATENT ENOUGH FACT."
That was back in the 19th century!
Cornelius Vanderbilt III was on The Pilgrims executive committee ("The Pilgrims of the United States," 2003, page 102) as was Herbert Satterlee, son in law of the Pilgrims Society member who was called "almost Lord of Creation" (J.P. Morgan) and was present at a reception in New York for the Prince of Wales on November 21, 1919. Of Vanderbilt’s grandfather financial historian Gustavus Myers said, "The impact of his vast fortune was well-nigh resistless" and reported his legalized theft of $44 million in 1869! Vanderbilt III was a director of some 22 entities involved in banking, railroads, subways, real estate, life insurance and steel, some operating in Mexico and the Philippines (Who’s Who, 1916, page 2515). The Vanderbilt's have had other representation in The Society, including becoming a son in law of Pilgrims Society member Donald Platten in 1986, then chairman of Chemical Bank New York, now part of "Jive Pig Moron Erase!"
Charles Dewey Hilles (1867-1949), Pilgrims Society, was assistant Secretary of the Treasury, 1909 to 1911, when he became special assistant to President Taft (Pilgrims Society), very likely helping plan strategy to advance the central bank legislation of Pilgrims member Senator Aldrich. Later as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Taft sided with silver stealing Treasury Secretary Mellon, his fellow Pilgrims member. As President Taft had already appointed six (6) Supreme Court Justices and sixty two (62) other Federal judges! Hilles chaired the Republican National Committee, 1912-1916. He was a New York delegate to the Republican National Conventions of 1916, 1920, 1924, 1928, 1932 and 1940, and was a member of the Republican National Committee from 1924-1938. The Cambridge, Massachusetts Sentinel, August 17, 1912, page 3, said as of that date, Hilles was “the field marshal of the Republican forces.” He was for many years president of the Ohio Society of New York, composed of prominent persons who were born in Ohio. In “America’s 60 Families” by Lundberg (1937), pages236-237, we note Hilles being taken care of by inner circle Pilgrims Society members---
“The Standard Brands offering was worth $10,000 per thousand shares to each insider from the start. IT WENT TO PERSONS INFLUENTIAL IN THE CONTROL OF NATIONAL AFFAIRS.”
He became president of the National Republican Club and was a member of the anti-silver New York State Chamber of Commerce. He was a trustee of the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, of a copper and polymetallic mining family represented in The Pilgrims over the years by assorted men; he was a director of American Smelting & Refining Company (ASARCO); Bankers Trust (associated with the anti-silver J.P. Morgan interests); General Cable Corporation; Anglo-Chilean Nitrate Company; Otis Elevator; New York Life Insurance; Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad; Central Westchester Realty; Library Square Realty; Eastport National Bank; Marine Midland Bank; Eagle Machine Company; American Employers Liability Insurance; resident manager for New York State of Employers Fire Insurance; and for over 25 years, resident manager for New York State of Employers Liability Assurance Corporation. Think insurance giants aren’t relevant to silver suppression? In addition to how hard details often are to come by, we knew years ago by Butler that AIG Insurance was leader in the Chinese silver “leasing” business---
Charles D. Hilles Jr. surfaced in the leaked list of The Pilgrims, 1957; he was a trustee of the Taft School (recall his father’s association with President Taft); Jr. was associated for over 20 years with the American Cancer Society, believed by many---including myself---to be in the business of suppressing natural cancer treatments in order to enhance mega-billions in income for hospitals, doctors and drug companies; he was a director of ITT Corporation (International Telephone & Telegraph); American Guarantee & Liability Insurance; Zurich Life Insurance; New York Trust; American Cable & Radio; Beekman Downtown Hospital and others. Jr. was also a trustee of Lingnan University, Hong Kong; and as of 1960 Who’s Who, page 1336, was treasurer of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. In 1954-1955 he was special adviser to the U.S. High Commissioner in Germany---Pilgrims Society member James Bryant Conant. Jr. was on the advisory committee to the New York Public Library, very likely with a checklist of banned books, such as those favorable to silver money!
Robert M. Kindersley, 1st Baron Kindersley (1871-1954), Pilgrims Society, Order of the British Empire, was a businessman, stock broker, merchant banker and central banker who organized the National Savings Committee, serving as its president from 1920-1946, egging on commoners to hold savings in other than precious metals so he and his Pilgrims Society inflation kingpin pals could continue to slash at their financial security---
Kindersley’s father was from a wealthy family who had been a Captain in the British Indian Army. He joined the London Stock Exchange in 1901, becoming a partner in David A. Bevan & Company in 1902 and the merchant bank Lazard Brothers in 1905, a firm with which he was connected for the rest of his life and of which he became chairman in 1919. He was Governor of the Hudson’s Bay Company from 1915 to 1925 and a director of the gold and silver suppressing Bank of England from 1914 to 1946. In 1924 he was the senior British representative on the Dawes Committee, chaired by Charles Dawes, Pilgrims Society. He was a major shareholder in Canadian Northern Railway; the town of Kindersley, Saskatchewan, is named for him.
Howard Heinz (1877-1941), Pilgrims Society, in 1919 became head of the food processing conglomerate his father founded and was a member of the War Industries Board of Philadelphia. The 1940 Who’s Who, page 1218, doesn’t show he was a Pilgrims member (most members appearing in Who’s Who don’t disclose this), but his name is in the leaked 1940 list. His bio information in WW shows him the father of Henry John Heinz II (Pilgrims leaked list 1969) also of the Heinz agribusiness giant and Heinz II was on the Bilderberg steering committee for many years, in keeping with The Pilgrims Society being the management of other globalist groups and therefore, the top group; Heinz was likely there as a proxy for the far larger Mellon interests. Howard Heinz was a member of elite Pittsburgh social clubs---Allegheny Country; Pittsburgh Golf; Fox Chapel Golf; Harvard-Yale-Princeton Club; in New York, the University Club; Yale Club and the Recess; and others in Chicago and London. These exclusive clubs are often the site of what many people would call “intrigues.” Howard also was a member of the National Industrial Conference Board in New York and was president of the Pittsburgh Regional Planning Association (all such groups are collectivist schemes to control the public, especially during manufactured crises). Additionally he had been named United States Food Administrator of Pennsylvania early in WW2, presumably in a shortage he’d decide who was allowed to eat; as if this weren’t enough, he was also chairman of the Food Supply Committee of the National Council for Defense for Pennsylvania and was “zone chairman” in the U.S. Food Administration for Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia---a “food Czar” if you will; a trustee of the warmongering Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, endowed by Crown loyalist, Pilgrims member Andrew Carnegie; he was a governor of Yale Publishing Association (to see to it that silver was either not mentioned, or slammed); a trustee of the University of Pittsburgh (for similar reasons) and the Carnegie Institute; Western Pennsylvania Hospital (The Pilgrims are big hospital trustees and are scheming to use medicine to destroy the middle class); director of Pennsylvania Railroad and of Mellon Bank (his son, father of a U.S. Senator, was also a Mellon Bank director), in which silver stealing Pilgrims Society member Andrew Mellon was dominant---
Senator Heinz, his grandson, unsurprisingly was a member of the Senate Banking Committee and chaired the subcommittee on International Finance and Monetary Policies (another “plant” against gold and silver”). In 1979 Pilgrims member Heinz II was cited by The Queen, patron of The Pilgrims Society, “for significant contribution in the furtherance of British-American relationships,” making him an “honorary Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire,” meaning, he helped advance the cause of World Government under the British Royal family!
Page 2233 of the 1941 Who’s Who shows John E. Rovensky, Pilgrims Society, of 55 Wall Street, as a vice president of National City Bank of New York, a predecessor of Citigroup. Rovensky, for whom a famous 46.50 carat diamond is named, was an executive committee member of the Stable Money Association of America. Edwin Kemmerer, anti-silver money activist economist, was a president of the Stable Money Association. He was associated with U.S. & Foreign Securities Corporation, later run by anti-silver coinage Pilgrims Society member Douglas Dillon (which read about later). In "Kemmerer on Money" (1934, John C. Winston Company, Philadelphia), page 116, Kemmerer stated---
“SILVER WILL PERFORM NO USEFUL MONETARY FUNCTION IN THE UNITED STATES.”
According to http://wikicompany.org/wiki/911:Knights_of_Malta#Pilgrim_Society_members Kemmerer was a Pilgrims Society member and a new entry to my lists---
Other high level propagandists against silver in the so-called Stable Money Association included Paul Warburg, Pilgrims Society, of the Bank of Manhattan, a predecessor to current silver price antagonist JPMorganChase, member of the anti-silver Economic Club of New York; nominee to the board of the War Finance Corporation whose niece married a Rothschild; director, Council on Foreign Relations, 1921-1932 and known as the Father of the Federal Reserve Act who became a member of the Federal Reserve Board, 1914-1918---
Warburg, who was a Wells Fargo director also chaired International Acceptance Bank and had considerable holdings in railroad and silver using as catalyst chemical industries and was a trustee of the anti-silver Brookings Institution in the District of Columbia. Read more on the International Acceptance Bank and its ties to Soviet Communist development http://www.reformation.org/wall-st-fdr-ch6.html
Page 169 of the report of the proceedings of the Pan American Financial Conference of 1915 http://ia600304.us.archive.org/5/items/proceedingsfirs00confgoog/proceedingsfirs00confgoog.pdf features this statement from inner circle Pilgrims Society member Paul Moritz Warburg---
“The United States has a gold stock amounting to the phenomenal sum of about $1,890,000,000, of which so far only $800,000,000 in round figures have been concentrated in the Federal Reserve banks. THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS NEED ONLY CONTINUE THE PROCESS JUST BEGUN OF SUBSTITUTING FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES FOR THE GOLD AND GOLD CERTIFICATES NOW IN CIRCULATION, IN ORDER TO GAIN CONTROL OF VAST ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL POWER WHICH NOW LIES IDLE. We may confidently expect to find ample means to handle this business by the simple process of perfecting our organization and assembling our idle gold.”
http://www.answers.com/topic/paul-warburg notes that Warburg’s son was an adviser to FDR. Paul Warburg attended the Pan American Financial Conference in D.C. in 1915---
PAUL MANIAC WARTHOG was candid as to the gold absorption conspiracy he was part of---ripoff gold from the citizenry in return for bastardized banker issued paper jinxed to catch fire as to purchasing power. They regard precious metal outside their control as “idle” and it’s “ours,” said Warburg! That meeting was 14 years and 10 months before Roosevelt’s gold seizure order; evidently threats of penalties were deemed necessary to get most of the rest of the gold deemed “idle” by The Pilgrims Society. And according to the dictates of their septic tank mentalities, having criminalized private ownership of gold, they couldn’t help themselves but to also go after silver, which they did after a phenomenal 17 months had elapsed.
Another Pilgrims Society member at that 1915 conference was John Bassett Moore, who was president of the American Political Science Association, honorary president of the Pan American Society who became a judge at the Permanent Court of International Justice at The Hague; director Equitable Life Assurance Society who gave as his address in the 1933 Who’s Who, page 1653, as Chase National Bank.
Also of the anti-silver Stable Money Association was Owen D. Young, Pilgrims Society, monetary silver suppressor, founded Radio Corporation of America in 1919; trustee Rockefeller Foundation 1928-1940; director Federal Reserve Bank of New York, 1923-1940, ending as chairman; chairman of General Electric, 1922-1939 and 1942-1944; director, Council on Foreign Relations, 1927-1940, a front by which many influential persons are brought into The Pilgrims Society orbit without actually being members; member, War Manpower Commission, 1942-1945, and creator of the Young Plan for German reparations, which gave rise to the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, in 1930 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Plan ---
Pilgrims Society member Gates McGarrah (above), of 33 Wall Street, originally a Chase National Bank executive, was president of the New York Clearing House Association, 1917-1919, became chairman of the New York Federal Reserve Bank in May 1925 and was a director of American Brake & Shoe Foundry; Air Reduction Company; Associated Dry Goods; Eagle Indemnity Company; Bucyrus Company; Batopilas Mining Company; Alberger Pump & Condenser; American Bankers Safety Company; Greenwich Savings Bank; Mechanics & Metals National Bank; Bankers Trust; Guaranty Trust; Astor Trust; and was a member of the anti-silver Bankers Club in Manhattan (Who’s Who, 1915, page 1506 and1929, page 1431); he was a founder of the American Institute of Banking and went to be first chairman of the Bank for International Settlements in 1930 into 1933; he was an Astor family operative as an Astor Foundation trustee. His grandson Richard Helms became CIA director, 1965-1973, then Ambassador to Iran, 1973-1976. In 1977 Helms, who surfaced in the leaked list of The Pilgrims for 1974, became president of the Safeer Company (as of the 1994 Who’s Who, page 1538, was still in that position); a consumer conglomerate in 3 Arab Gulf countries. At http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/1172473 in which McGarrah was speaking of the Bank for International settlements (quoted in The Journal of the Academy of Political Science, January 1931, page 235, McGarrah was intentionally opaque---
“It is extremely difficult to give a description of the bank’s activities for the reason that it’s business is of a private nature.”
Of course; but less so than his Pilgrims Society membership!
McGarrah was succeeded by Pilgrims Society member Leon Fraser, another anti-silver activist who BLAMED U.S. SILVER COINAGE FOR CONTRIBUTING TO THE WORLD’S MONEY TROUBLES (Commercial & Financial Chronicle, May 18, 1935, page 3306). He was a U.S. representative at the 1933 World Monetary & Economic Conference in London where silver was denied its full status. After BIS he became president of First National City Bank of New York and a director of General Electric, U.S. Steel, Mutual Life Insurance and Federal Reserve Bank of New York. He was a trustee of Columbia University, Union College, American Academy in Rome and the American Historical Association and director, Council on Foreign Relations, 1936-1945. The reason for mentioning those trusteeships is clear; it must be suspected that in his capacity as trustee, he caused those institutions to maintain an anti-silver slant. That could consist of simply not mentioning silver! Still another Pilgrims Society member in the anti-silver Stable Money Association was financier Otto H. Kahn (1867-1934) who owned a 109,000 square foot mansion on Long Island http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Hermann_Kahn He was sent to London by Deutsche Bank for five years and thence to Wall Street in 1893. He was a director of the Council on Foreign Relations from 1921-1934; PILGRIMS SOCIETY MEMBERS SUPERINTEND THE BETTER KNOWN, BUT INFERIOR ORGANIZATION! He was decorated by France, Spain, Italy and Belgium and was a director of Union Pacific Railroad and Equitable Trust (chaired by Pilgrims Society member Alvin Wilhelm Krech). Equitable Trust was co-leader with Chase National Bank in the Soviet credit business---
"OTTO H. KAHN SEES CONTROL OF EVERY INSTRUMENTALITY WHICH DEALS WITH MONEY"
---New York Times, June 30, 1933, front page headline.
President Lincoln was aware of monopolistic banking amalgamations and remarked---
“They have him in his prison house. They have searched his person and have left no prying instrument with him. One after another, they have closed the heavy iron doors upon him and now they have him, as it were, bolted in with a lock of one hundred keys which can never be unlocked without the concurrence of every key; the keys in the hands of a hundred different men, and they scattered to a hundred different places; and they stand musing as to what invention in all the dominion of mind and matter can be produced to make the impossibility of his escape more complete than it is.”
This secret organization of gold and silver stealers and warmongers has had the country by the throat for over a century!
Here’s the World War II management of The Pilgrims Society (1942) featuring several personalities mentioned in The Silver Stealers. As president of Columbia University, Butler praised totalitarian regimes; Herbert Satterlee of 49 Wall Street was son in law of J.P. Morgan (Pilgrims); Thomas Lamont was CEO of the Morgan interests on Wall Street; George Harrison was an official of the New York Fed Bank; we just had a look at Owen D. Young and Leon Fraser; Alfred Aiken was with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, 1914-1917, and headed New York Life Insurance; Frank Polk’s daughter Elizabeth married a Vanderbilt relative; he represented the Northern Pacific Railway, Mutual Life Insurance and U.S. Trust interests, and as commissioner of the United States delegation to the Versailles Conference of 1919, bore major responsibility for intentionally inciting Germany to start World War II; Frederick Williamson was president of the Vanderbilt controlled New York Central Railroad and a director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; Harry Ward (Yale 1901) of Irving Trust at 1 Wall Street was associated with the anti-silver American Institute of Banking; Gano Dunn (they misspelled as “Gunn”) was with the J.G. White Engineering and construction interests, profiteers in both World Wars and director of Panhandle Eastern Pipeline and Radio Corporation of America.
James G. Harbord (1866-1947), Pilgrims Society, became president in 1922 of Radio Corporation of America, and chairman 1930 to 1947. (David Sarnoff, Pilgrims Society, later headed RCA).
Harbord was a brigadier general who saw action in the Spanish-American War of 1896 in Cuba and the Philippines; in 1916 he pursued Pancho Villa into Mexico and during World War I in German occupied France. He held decorations from England, France, Belgium, Italy, Montenegro (later Yugoslavia), Poland and Panama. He was a 32nd degree Mason and a Knights Templar and a director of the anti-silver Bankers Trust (associated with the Morgan interests) and New York Life Insurance; National Broadcasting Company; Western Railroads; his office was at 30 Rockefeller Plaza and he was a member of the Army-Navy Club in the District of Columbia, site of the annual meeting of the Silver Users Association---
Herbert Livingston Satterlee (1863-1947), a vice president of The Pilgrims during World War 2, had as his paternal grandmother, Mary Livingston, ancestry from Robert Livingston, one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in pre-Revolutionary War America. Livingston received a 250 square mile land grant in New York from King George the First; the Livingston name has surfaced in more Pilgrims Society genealogies in the New York branch than any other I’ve seen in years of research. Robert Livingston (1654-1728) married Alida Schuyler, widow of Nicholas Van Rensselaer. The Schuylers and Rensselaers were other great Colonial land fortunes---both these names appear sometimes in Pilgrims Society genealogies extending into the modern era! Satterlee married Louisa, daughter of the original J.P, Morgan (1837-1913), Pilgrims Society. Satterlee was associated with the Missouri, Kansas & Topeka Railway and an attorney at 49 Wall Street. In 1895-1896 Satterlee was aide-de-camp to Levi P. Morton (Pilgrims Society), New York governor. Satterlee was assistant Secretary of the Navy for three months in 1908-1909 and was a founder of the Navy League of the U.S. Satterlee was a backer of Theodore Roosevelt (“America’s 60 Families,” 1937, Halcyon House, N.Y., Ferdinand Lundberg). Theodore helped set up the National Monetary Commission of 1908 that lobbied for a (silver and gold suppressing) central bank. He was a member of the Bohemian Club in San Francisco and the India House Club in Manhattan---
On June 16, 1931, Elizabeth Lee Saltonstall became daughter in law of Pilgrims Society member August Belmont Jr. The original Belmont was a Rothschild operative who helped finance the North during the Civil War (known by some as the War of Northern Aggression) Belmont Jr.---
In 1902 Belmont founded the Interborough Rapid Transit Company, taking advantage of a trend that did much to add to his wealth (or as The Pilgrims Society says, it “absorbs” or “seizes” wealth!) Leverett Saltonstall was Massachusetts Governor, 1939-1945 and a Senator from Massachusetts, 1945-1967, in which capacity he fought for everything the Silver Users Association wanted.
The 1940-1941 Who’s Who in America, page 1873 showed the son of multimillionaire Nelson Morris who founded a meat packing business in Chicago in 1856. According to this source, “At the outbreak of the Civil War, Morris received a contract to supply meat to the Union armies. He subsequently supplied all the meat for the Army of the West later in the war, and filled meat-supply contracts for the governments of England, Germany, and France. His firm of Morris & Company was one of the largest in the U.S.” Note below the marriage to a member of the Rothschild dynasty, known silver money antagonists!
“Interested in many banks,” another silver money suppressor, as all the big banks were in on suppression activities, including bribing members of Congress and State legislatures---
Notice he received a decoration from the government of Roumania and here we read of his arranging a $50 million loan to Roumania. That was in 1927. He was with the Romanian royal family in 1926 at the Drake Hotel and at that time he was consul general in Chicago for Roumania. What was the International Radio Forum? Did it argue for more American involvement in war? Did it argue for ending silver coinage?
From The Pilgrims New York 1940 leaked roster, page 16---
In “Silver At The Crossroads,” Mining Congress Journal, February 1947, page 84, an unidentified correspondent spoke of Great Britain and “HER PURPOSE OF DEVALUING SILVER THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.”
GREAT BRITAIN’S CHIEF INTEREST IS TO UTILIZE HER LEND-LEASED SILVER IN A MANNER DESIGNED TO NOT ONLY DECREASE THE WORLD PRICE OF SILVER BUT TO DISCOURAGE ITS USE AS MONEY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. THIS HAS BEEN BRITAIN’S ATTITUDE SINCE 1816.” (pages 84-85)
General Lord Wavell, British Viceroy and Governor-General of India at the time silver coins were again attacked there, was another member of The Pilgrims of Great Britain; he commanded British forces in Middle East in WW2 and was Viceroy of India, 1943-47, Order of the Star of Nepal, Knight Grand Commander of the Order of the Star of India and Order of the Indian Empire---
"It seems strange to Americans that Great Britain after having been made the greatest beneficiary of the lend-lease program now plans a step which is DELIBERATELY INTENDED TO LOWER THE VALUE OF OUR TREASURY SILVER AND TO DISCOURAGE THE USE OF THIS METAL AS MONEY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. This brief analysis of the latest move by the British Government IN A FURTHER EFFORT TO DETHRONE SILVER AS MONEY indicates very clearly that it is the purpose of that Government to continue its move away from the use of precious metals as money and in the direction of paper (promise to pay) standard.” (page 85)
“In 1920 Britain waged a similar fight against silver by drastically reducing the silver content of her coins from .925 fine to .500 fine and AUCTIONING much of the resultant silver on the Shanghai bullion market. This action followed another philanthropic act on the part of the United States Government in 1918 whereby silver dollars were melted down and 200,000,000 fine ounces of residual silver were sold at $1 an ounce to Great Britain and coined into Indian rupees in order to redeem an amount of paper rupees in circulation beyond the capacity of the silver reserves of the Bank of India. This generous action by the United States Government FORESTALLED A REVOLUTION IN INDIA, according to Lord Reading, then British Ambassador to the United States.” (page 85)
(So important to Indians was sound, solid silver money that the British paper purveyors had to get the cooperation of America to supply silver. This was in connection with the Pittman Silver Act of 1918 by which the government silver thus forked over to the British, so that they could retain possession of India, would be replaced by newly mined Nevada silver. Lord Reading, who became Baron Reading of Erleigh, was also Chief Justice of Britain, 1913-1921; Ambassador to United States 1918-1919 (all British Ambassadors are Pilgrims members); and became British Viceroy over India in 1921. Shortly afterwards, he imprisoned Indian nationalist Mahatma Gandhi. As always, the British continued to maneuver against silver, and the article continues) ---
“The effect of this unfortunate move was to REDUCE THE WORLD PRICE OF SILVER AT LEAST 50 PERCENT within a period of about a year. THE SHANGHAI SILVER MARKET WAS SWAMPED WITH BRITISH SILVER. Auction sales of silver followed which had a far-reaching effect upon the economy of China, then on a silver standard. THE MOMENTUM OF THE PRICE DECLINE THAT ENSUED CARRIED THE WORLD PRICE TO AN ALL-TIME LOW (in 1931) of 24.5 cents an ounce.” (pages 85-86)
The unnamed author tells us (page 86) that in 1935, the British Government sent Sir Leith Ross to China “at which time the Chinese Government was induced to abandon the silver standard.”
Sir Samuel Hoare, Pilgrims Society of Great Britain, was the British Foreign Secretary who sent Sir Leith-Ross to China to “reason” with them to abandon their silver system, after the Silver Purchase Act of 1934 removed from China much of what remained after the British opium trade sucked away huge amounts of silver! Sir Samuel was elevated to Viscount Templewood---
Sir Frederick Leith-Ross published in 1968—“Money Talks: Fifty Years of International Finance, The Autobiography of Sir Frederick Leith-Ross (London, UK: Hutchinson). Hutchinson published the very difficult to find “Pilgrims and Pioneers.” A web page on him stated “Leith-Ross, Frederick, Sir, born 1887; International finance; Economic history--20th century; Capitalists and financiers—Biography.”
“If the International Monetary Fund gives impartial consideration to proposals of the interested member nations and makes an earnest effort to correct the evils of the past century PERPETRATED BY GREAT BRITAIN IN PARTICULAR in their ATTEMPT TO DEPRIVE SILVER OF ITS RIGHTFUL PLACE IN MONETARY SYSTEMS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, it is conceivable that an opportunity may soon be afforded to restore to silver a position of dignity and usefulness that should prevail throughout the world for an indefinite period.” (page 86)
Paul D. Cravath, charter Pilgrims Society member in 1903, of what is today the important law firm, Cravath, Swaine & Moore in Manhattan, chaired the anti-silver Economic Club of New York, 1936-1938. He was the representative of the Treasury Department at the Inter-Allied War Conference at Paris in December 1917 and a member of the American delegation to the Inter-Allied Council on War Purchases and Finance in London in 1918. He represented Bethlehem Steel, Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, Squibb and Chemical Bank, among others. He was president of the Metropolitan Opera Association and decorated by France, Italy and Romania and was a director of the America-Italy Society. Cravath was a director, 1921-1940, of The Pilgrims Society’s most important unofficial subsidiary, the Council on Foreign Relations, widely recognized as a virtual staffing agency for Presidential administrations---
Pilgrims Society member David Sarnoff founded the National Broadcasting Company and led Radio Corporation of America (RCA) from 1919 to 1970 and director of National Broadcasting Company (NBC), chaired the anti-silver Economic Club of New York, 1940-1942. In 1959 he was a member of a Rockefeller Brothers Fund panel. He was a trustee of Thomas Edison Foundation; The Educational Alliance; Pratt Institute; New York University; and member of elite clubs including India House, Metropolitan and Army-Navy in the District of Columbia, site of recent meetings of the Silver Users Association---
Son of Senator Nelson Aldrich, legislative leader for the Federal Reserve Act, second generation Pilgrims Society member Winthrop W. Aldrich chaired the anti-silver Economic Club of New York, 1942-1944. At that time he was chairman of Chase National Bank and member of financial district clubs heavily interlocked with The Pilgrims Society, including Harvard; Knickerbocker; Bond; Broad Street; Piping Rock; The Brook; Century; Links; The Creek; New York Yacht and others. Winthrop was a trustee of The Rockefeller Foundation; Barnard College; General Education Board. A member of the advisory committee of the anti-silver American Institute of Banking and vice president of The National Institute of Social Sciences, Aldrich was a director of Rockefeller Center; Metropolitan Life; American Telephone & Telegraph; Westinghouse Electric and Discount Corporation of New York (Who’s Who, 1941, page 157) ---
Thomas J. Watson Senior, Pilgrims Society, was called "one of the richest men of his time" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_J._Watson and founded International Business Machines (IBM). The 1953 Who’s Who, page 2545 showed Watson, then decorated by 30 foreign governments, was a member of the Jekyll Island, Georgia Club and the anti-silver money Bankers Club of America, president of the anti-silver Economic Club of New York and a director of Morgan Guaranty Trust and the Franklin Roosevelt Memorial Foundation---
The 1967 Who’s Who shows his sons, Thomas J. and Arthur K. Watson both Pilgrims Society members. Arthur was a Federal Reserve Bank of New York (anti-silver) director and decorated by 9 foreign governments and a trustee of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, which used to fund the Bilderberg meetings; Thomas was a director of Bankers Trust (anti-silver) and a Rockefeller Foundation and Eisenhower Exchange Fellowships trustee. The same volume, page 1050, shows the Watson brothers in law, John N. Irwin II, Pilgrims Society, a director of IBM, Defense Department consultant, 1957-58, awarded membership in the Philippine Legion of Honor, and advisor to the Joint United States/Philippine Finance Commission in 1947. Obviously, that was just after the close of WWII with the extensive silver leasing by the United States; connection to silver leasing by the Philippine Central Bank? I regard it as almost a certainty; but documents confirming central bank silver leasing activities are, like Pilgrims lists, extraordinarily difficult to come by. Time Magazine, June 14, 1999, called Watson Jr. the "greatest capitalist in history" and one of the 100 most influential persons of the 20th century. He was Ambassador to the Soviet Union from late October 1979 to January 1981 during the critical period of the silver run up and its suppression, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
