Extract from America Betrayed, Bush, bin Laden, 9-11. by R. Joseph, Ph.D. University Press, ISBN: 0971644578
Prescot Bush and Rockefeller's Standard Oil had been in business with the Hitler regime and the Nazis since 1933, and in 1942, three Bush businesses were seized by the U.S. government, for violation of the Trading With the Enemies Act.
In 1823, Samuel Russell, a child of the Wall Street banking establishment, founded "Russell & Company" the largest opium smuggling operation in the world. Russell and Company was based in Connecticut, and in addition to Chinese tea and silk, specialized in acquiring opium in Turkey and smuggling it to China.
In 1830, Russell and Company bought out their primary competitor, the Perkins (Boston) syndicate and thus established Connecticut as the epi-center of the illegal opium trade. Because of the incredible wealth generated, and through his connections to Wall Street, Russell's company (and thus Connecticut) became an epicenter of illegal and secret political power.
The grandfather of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Warren Delano, Jr., served as Chief of Operations, at Russell and Company, and later became a partner.
In 1831, William Huntington Russell, half-brother to Samuel, left the United States and Yale college, to spend a year studying in Germany. Germany was in a fever, the epi-center of "new ideas" and a scientific revolution in psychology, philosophy, and educational reform. In the new Germany, children were being educated according to the "scientific method." They were taught what to think and how to think it, as well as total obedience to the state.
William Huntington Russell wanted to learn first hand, the "Scientific Method" and the ideas and philosophy of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Hegel held the Chair in Philosophy at the University of Berlin from 1817 until his death in 1831.
In Germany, the scientific method, and the Hegelian dialectic were being applied to every aspect of human endeavor: through reason and the application of the scientific method, it was possible to create a pre-determined synthesis and thus the most desirable predetermined outcomes.
Russell was particularly impressed with the concept of "thesis versus anti-thesis" and Hegel's historical dialectic: the state is absolute, individuals are granted their freedoms based on their obedience to the state, controlled conflict, by an intellectual elite, can produce a pre-determined outcome.
Russell, being a child of the Wall Street banking elite, quickly realized the implications. Hegel's philosophy and the Scientific Method could be applied to banking: Through controlled conflict, it was possible to create a synthesis in the form of incredible financial wealth. Those engaged in this conflict would require financing.
Controlled conflict, when conducted in secret, would be good for business. Indeed, secrecy is mandated when the dialectic is applied to the creation of "opposing forces" who are to be manipulated into engaging in a "controlled conflict." Secrecy is also necessitated so that the opposing forces do not realize that the same banks are providing funds to both of those in conflict.
Of course, William Huntington Russell was not the first to realize the necessity of secrecy for the purposes of applying Hegel's dialectic to banking and commerce. Banking requires secrecy, particularly when it comes to laundering incredible sums of money acquired through criminal enterprise and the drug trade.
Long before he arrived in Germany, Russell had learned the value of secrecy. What he wanted was to learn first hand was the Hegelian scientific method. So, it is not surprising that after he enrolled at the University of Berlin, Russell became a member of a secret society which also incorporated Hegelian ideas.
Russell joined the secret order of "Skull and Bones." The membership of the Berlin order of Skull and Bones came from the privileged class, the aristocracy, and the families of bankers and the moneyed elite. Russell fit fight in and formed a warm and close relationship with many of its members.
When it came time for his to return to America and Yale college, Russell sought and obtained permission to form an American chapter of the secret German Society of Skull and Bones: chapter 322, The Brotherhood of Death.
Russell returned to the United States and Yale College in 1832. Russell, along with his very close friend, Alphonso Taft (the father of William Howard Taft who became President of the U.S. and then Chief Justice of the Supreme Court), and 13 other children of the Wall Street elite, established and became the founding members of "The Order of Scull and Bones," later changed to "The Order of Skull and Bones."
The Order of Skull and Bones was to be a super secret society for the elite children of the Anglo-American Wall Street banking establishment. Its purpose: To generate incredible wealth and power for its members.
Presumably, the Order of Skull and Bones exists only at Yale. As detailed in Antony C. Sutton's superbly researched 1986 text, America's Secret Establishment:
"Those on the inside know it as The Order. Others have known it for more than 150 years as Chapter 322 of a German secret society. More formally, for legal purposes, The Order was incorporated as The Russell Trust in 1856. It was also once known as the 'Brotherhood of Death.' Those who make light of it, or want to make fun of it, call it 'Skull & Bones', or just plain 'Bones'."
The Order of Skull and Bones, however, is certainly not a college fraternity fun-house. Rather, the purpose of Skull and Bones is the application of skull duggery, piracy, and the scientific method to the creation of power, wealth, and the inducement of controlled conflict between opposing individuals, businesses, and states.
The Order of Skull and Bones is also geared to promote the mutual success of its members in the post-collegiate world. Hence, only those of the incoming senior class become members and membership is retained for life.
Each year fifteen juniors are selected by the graduating seniors to be initiated into next year's group. New members are reportedly given a large sum of money, and a clock, the significance of which is to remind them that the Order of Skull and Bones is timeless.
As detailed by Antony Sutton it is the "timeless" nature of this secret brotherhood which provides it with continuity and thus the capacity to build up both vertical and horizontal "chains of influence." These multi-generational chains of influence ensure the success of its members in their varied schemes, be it drug smuggling or the creation and financing of controlled conflict for the purposes of acquiring power and incredible wealth.
Prescott Bush, George H.W. Bush, and his son, George W. Bush, are alumni of Yale and members of Skull and Bones.
After its founding, Russell and friends hoisted a pirate flag as a symbol and talisman of their brotherhood. The pirate flag has an obvious meaning: death. Pirates are terrorists, murderers, marauders, cutthroats and thieves, answerable to no one, above the law, and without morals and scruples.
Soon after its establishment at Yale, the Order of Skull and Bones began to develop an unsavory reputation.
In October of 1876, an investigative article on The Order, appeared in Volume 1, Number 1, of "The Iconoclast." The Inconclast was published off campus, in New Haven, "because the college press is closed to those who dare to openly mention Bones."
The Iconoclast reported evidence of Satanism, i.e. walls covered in black, and in room 322, the "sanctum sanctorium of the temple...[was] furnished in red velvet...[with] a pentagram on the wall... and in the hall....pictures of the founders of Bones at Yale, and of members of the Society in Germany, when the chapter was established here in 1832."
The Iconoclast goes on to report that "Out of every class Skull and Bones takes its men. They have gone out into the world and have become in many instances, leaders in society. No doubt they are worthy men in themselves, but the many, whom they looked down upon while in college, cannot so far forget as to give money freely into their hands. Bones men care far more for their society than they do for the college."
"At first the society held its meetings in hired halls; in 1856, the 'tomb,' a vine-covered, windowless, brown-stone hall was built. This is where they hold their strange, occultist initiation rites and meet each Thursday and Sunday."
"Year by year the deadly evil is growing," The Iconoclast warned. "The society was never as obnoxious as it is today. Never before has it shown such arrogance and self-fancied superiority. It grasps... and endeavors to rule. It clutches at power with the silence of conscious guilt... a society guilty of serious and far-reaching crimes."
An uninvited "guest" to the tomb reported seeing: "On the west wall, an old engraving representing an open burial vault, in which, on a stone slab, rest four human skulls, grouped about a fools cap and bells, an open book, several mathematical instruments, a beggar's script, and a royal crown. On the arched wall above the vault are the explanatory words, in Roman letters, "We War Der Thor, Wer Weiser, Wer Bettler Oder, Kaiser?" and below the vault is engraved, in German characters, the sentence; "Ob Arm, Ob Beich, im Tode gleich."
The English translation of the German words reads as follows: "Who was the fool, who the wise man, beggar or king? Whether poor or rich, all's the same in death." And what does that mean? There are no morals. There is no right or wrong. The ends justify the means. Everything ends the same, "in death."
For the next 30 years after its founding, various members of The Order of Skull and Bones made a pilgrimage to Germany and the University of Berlin. The University of Berlin was Ground Zero for the study of Hegelian principles and the "scientific method" as applied to business, government, education, psychology, and the acquisition of power and wealth.
In Germany, the state had taken complete responsibility for the education of children. The purpose of a German education was to mold the character and thinking of all German citizens and to make them obedient to the German state.
These Hegelian principles were absorbed by the visiting Bonesman, three of which, upon returning to America, applied these principles at home.
Timothy Dwight (class of 1849) became Professor in the Yale Divinity School and then 12th President of Yale University. Daniel Coit Gilman (class of 1852) became the first President of the University of California, first President of the Johns Hopkins University and first President of the Carnegie Institution. Andrew Dickson White (class of 1853) became the first President of Cornell University.
For these three Bonesmen, a university education was the key to shaping the thoughts, prejudices, and ideas of future generations and training those who would someday become the future leaders of America. Of course, these noble Bonesmen had no interest in providing a university education to the masses. A university education was only for the children of the rich and powerful; men who would seek to fulfill the Hegelian dialectic and the eventual creation of a New World Order which would be ruled over by the moneyed elite.
Although, most certainly, the founding of colleges and universities is to be commended in the most laudatory of terms, not all Bonesmen were interested in improving the lot of mankind. Education would be a form of thought control and mankind would serve only one purpose: to engage in controlled conflict, to help create a New World Order, and to thus make the Bonesmen and their banker and business friends very powerful and very rich.
The American civil war offered the Bonesmen and their associates in banking, the first opportunity, in America, to fund controlled conflict. The resulting "synthesis" would include the erosion of democracy at the local level (states rights), the elimination of state-chartered "Free Banking" and the establishment of centralized "national" banking and thus the establishment of a few private "national" banks that could be owned and controlled by a handful of families.
From the outset of the American civil war, these private national banks (as well as the "Free" banks), loaned money to both the Union and the Confederacy. Many of these bankers also funded and equipped "bushwakers," "death squads," and private militias whose specialties included the torture and assassination of Union or Confederate sympathizers. Neighbors were sometimes slain before the eyes of their wives and children, some were killed for fun. Not uncommonly these "death squads" would pick off neighbors one by one, ambushing and assassinating suspected enemies, and spreading terror. Every man, armed or unarmed, was fair game. Men were shot down in their fields, on their doorsteps, while on the road. Men taken captive were scalped, beheaded, castrated, and mutilated. Crops, homes and entire towns were burned.
The owners of these banks, these merchants of death, essentially funded the war and the many competing death squads in order to reap the incredible, staggering profits. Indeed, by the end of the war, over $6.6 billion dollars in direct costs (that is, in 1860s dollars) had been consumed by the civil war and the government of the Union and Confederacy.
War and terror were good business. The merchants of deathmade incredible fortunes. In 1863, Abraham Lincoln identified this moneyed elite, as the enemies of mankind and the enemies of the United States of America:
Thomas Jefferson was of the same opinion:
In 1863, after a failed attempt to bring the banks under centralized government control, President Lincoln and Congress took the advice of his Secretary of the Treasury and the northern banking establishment, and created a national banking system and a uniform national currency to be issued only by "national banks."
The National Banking Act of 1863 and a subsequent law passed in 1865 (which levied a 10-percent tax on State banks) put the free banks out of existence. The control of the national banks was put squarely into the hands of the members of the order of Skull and Bones.
It wasn't just banking but money which was put under the control of a handful of individuals. National Bank Notes were printed by private bank note companies under contract to the Federal government.
The Guaranty Trust Company was one of the national bankswhich emerged during the war between the states. The Guaranty Trust Company, established in 1864, was controlled almost entirely by families whose sons were, or would soon become, members of Skull and Bones: Vanderbilt, Whitney, and Harriman.
The concept of a bank is quite simple. Money is deposited in the bank for safekeeping, and the bank may pay a small interest fee to depositors in return. This same money is loaned to businesses, governments, and men of means, at a high rate of interest.
This same money can be loaned to those who own the banks, at a 0% interest rate, and the loans may even be "forgiven." A bank is a risk-free money-making machine for those who own the bank. If anyone defaults on a loan, and if the bank goes bankrupt, only the depositors lose money.
With the incredible amounts of money flowing into the coffers of the Guaranty Trust Company, the Harriman family was able to finance and buy the bankrupt Union Pacific Railroad, as well as create the W. A. Harriman investment firm.
Bert Walker (the maternal great-grand-father to the current George Walker Bush clan) was one of Harriman's principal partners. Bert Walker had sought and lost the Republican presidential nomination, but in so doing, had established himself as a member of the Republican power-elite. Bert Walker and then later, his son, George Walker, were not only partners with the Harrimans, but, due to their Republican credentials, were well situated to influence the administrations of successive Republican presidents. The Harrimans were also partners with the Rockefellers. The Harriman railroad shipped the oil pumped out of the ground by John D. Rockefeller, the founder of Standard Oil.
Samuel P. Bush, the father of Prescott, was also in business with the Harriman-Walker-Rockefeller clique. Samuel P. Bush, owned Buckeye Steel Castings Co. which manufactured parts for the Harriman railroad company.
It is men likes these, if not these very men, who Lincoln referred to as
"The money powers [who] prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity...until the wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, and the Republic is destroyed."
In the 1930s, Bush, Harriman, and Rockefeller, established themselves as enemies of democracy by going into business with Hitler, and by importing Nazism to the United States. It is because Bush was still in business with the Nazis after Hitler declared war on the U.S., that several of his companies, including the Hamburg-Amerika shipping line, was confiscated by the government of the United States.
History was repeating itself, for at the close of the first world war, and Germany's defeat, the Hamburg-Amerika's commercial shipping fleet was first confiscated by the American government in 1919, part of the spoils of war.
In 1920, the Harrimans became the new owners of Hamburg- Amerika. The Harrimans also obtained the exclusive right to 50% of all shipping business that originated in Hamburg and 100% control of all activities of the Hamburg line that originated in the United States.
In 1931, Harriman & Co. merged with Brown Brothers to become one of the biggest investment banks in the world. Prescott Bush became a senior partner in the new firm. That same year, George Walker began running the North American operations of the Hamburg-Amerika shipping line under the auspices of Walker's American Shipping & Commerce, which in turn was controlled by a holding company called the Harriman Fifteen. Averell Harriman, George Walker, and Prescott Bush were the directors of this holding company and thus the owners of the Hamburg-Amerika line.
Three years later, U.S. government investigators determined that several of the directors of the Hamburg-Amerika line, were major contributors to the Nazi Party. These men, it was determined, had provided a wealth of funds to Hitler for his 1932 election campaign. Prescott Bush was one of these men. Prescott Bush was financing Nazi terrorism as a means of destabilizing Germany's democratic government and catapulting Hitler to power.
Prescott Bush and one of the companies that he directed, the Hamburg-Amerika Line, was identified by the U.S. embassy in Berlin as providing the funds to support Hitler's "costly election campaigns" and "the cost of maintaining a private army of 300,000 to 400,000 men." It was these men who spread terror throughout Germany.
As detailed by Tarpley and Chaitkin "The American embassy also reported that the Hamburg-Amerika Line was purchasing and distributing propaganda attacks against the German government, for attempting this last-minute crackdown on Hitler's forces."
After Hitler came to power, the Hamburg-Amerika Line also began financing Nazi propaganda and subsidizing pro-Nazi newspapers here in the U.S. The purpose of this propaganda was clear. The Bonesmen were not just seeking to support Nazi Germany, but were seeking to undermine the constitutional government of the United States. The Bonesmen were sworn enemies of democracy.
After Hitler came to power, his dreaded terrorist organization, the SS was unleashed upon the German people. The SS was not just a terrorist organization, but deeply involved in spying and espionage as well as business. Other long range goals was to establish monopolies not only in Germany, but in all the countries it conquered. Himmler's dreaded SS, had a lot of friends in the business world who also hoped to benefit from the spoils. They gave him and his SS incredible sums of money, making them, so to speak, stockholders in his money-making terrorist organization.
The Hamburg-Amerika line, which was directed by Prescott Bush, not only contributed money and helped to distribute Nazi propaganda in the U.S. and Germany, but it was also one of the official "Friends of the Reichsfuhrer SS" - also known as "The Order" and the "Brotherhood of Death."
Like its American counterpart, the "Order of Skull and Bones" the German "Order" was dedicated to making money, and recruited its membership from the aristocracy and the moneyed elite.
In 1922, Averell Harriman, an alumni of Skull and Bones (Class of 1913), made a pilgrimage to Germany. But Hamburg wasn't the lure. It was Berlin, the ancestral home of Skull and Bones, the Brotherhood of Death. Indeed, various members of The Order of Skull and Bones had been making pilgrimages to Germany and the University of Berlin since the inception of the American chapter of the Brotherhood of Death. Harriman was a dedicated Bonesman.
According to his third wife, Pamela, Averell "Harriman regularly went back to the tomb (the Bone's Temple) on High Street, once even lamenting that his duties as chief negotiator at the Paris Peace Talks prevented him from attending a reunion."
While in Berlin he made contact with Fritz Thyssen, also, allegedly, a member of a Germany-based secret society; though which one, of course, is a secret.
A number of German secret societies were in existence at the time, such as the Illuminnati of Bavaria and the Thule Society. These secret societies counted rich industrialists, mystics, aristocrats, bankers and high ranking military men among their members.
In the early 1920s, when Harriman paid his visit to Germany, the membership of the Thule Society included Dietrich Eckart, Rudolf Hess, and Heinrich Himmler all of whom were directly associated with Adolf Hitler, and all of whom became Nazi leaders. The secret society that had anointed Hitler as its leader, would later become known to the world as the SS The Brotherhood of Death.
Although it cannot be proved, there is evidence to suggest that Himmler's SS, and its American counterpart, Skull and Bones, were one and the same and directly linked with the Thule Society or the Illuminnati. In fact, some of the occult rituals that were said to be part of the initiation into the Thule Society and the SS, are similar to those that are said to be practiced by initiates into the American chapter of the Brotherhood of Death, that is, Skull and Bones.
For example, both employ initiation ceremonies in which the initiate "dies to the world and be born again into the Order..."
In October of 1988 then Vice-President George H.W. Bush was asked by a reporter if he were "a Christian." At first Bush seemed confused by the question, but then said, "if you mean born again, then, yes, I am a Christian."
In his book, Mein Kamph and in some of his speeches, Hitler also refers to being born again, that is "born anew." Likewise, George Bush jr., refers to himself as "born again" and freely admits he was "honored" to be chosen to be a member of Skull and Bones. As reported in the August 7, 2000 issue of Time magazine, Bush was asked: "Did you have any qualms, say, about joining an elite secret club like Bones?" Bush replied, "No qualms at all. I was honored."
The motto of Hitler's SS begins as follows: "It is an honor to be an SS man. It is an honor..." The leaders of the Thule Society also believed it to be an honor to have inducted Hitler into the mysteries of its secret order. In 1919, Dietrich Eckart, a leading member of the Thule Society, met Adolf Hitler for the first time. Eckhart believed that Hitler was the German "Messiah... the long-awaited savior" who would lead Germany to her destiny. Eckhart took Hitler under his wing and initiated Hitler into the mysteries of the secret order:
"Follow Hitler; he will dance, but it is I who have called the tune. I have initiated him into the Secret Doctrine, opened his centers of vision, and given him the means to communicate with the powers."
Hitler, in turn, referred to Eckhart as the "spiritual founder of" the Nazi party. In Table Talk Hitler says of the man: "We've all taken a step forward on the road of existence, and we could no longer picture to ourselves exactly what Dietrich Eckart was for us. He shone in our eyes like the polar star." In the final paragraphs of Mein Kampf, Hitler says of Eckart, "he was one of the best, who devoted his life to the awakening..."
Prominent members of Thule also included Rudolf Hess. Fritz Thyssen, who Harriman visited in 1922, reports that it was Hess who introduced him to Adolf Hitler. Thyssen too, thought Hitler would be the savior of Germany. Like the Bonesmen, Thyssen believed that the New World Order would be ruled by the kings of banking and commerce.
Thyssen and Harriman agreed to establish a banking association, and two years later, in 1924 the W.A. Harriman Co., established an international investment firm, "Union Banking Corporation," which was in business with the Thyssens. Bert Walker's son, George Herbert Walker, was made president.
As detailed by Webster G. Tarpley & Anton Chaitkin in their superbly documented book, George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography, "...by personal agreement between Averell Harriman and Fritz Thyssen in 1922... the Union Banking Corporation has since its inception handled funds chiefly supplied to it through the Dutch bank by the Thyssen interests for American investment.... transferring funds back and forth between New York and the Thyssen interests."
The Union Banking Corporation and the Thyssen bank also acted as Nazi fronts and served to launder funds for Thyssen and the Nazis' money and funds that could be used to buy guns, arms, favorable publicity, and dozens of U.S. senators, congressman, and newspaper editors.
"Prescott Bush became vice president of W.A. Harriman & Co. in 1926. That same year, a friend of Harriman and Bush set up a giant new organization for their client Fritz Thyssen, prime sponsor of politician Adolf Hitler. The new German Steel Trust, Germany's largest industrial corporation, was organized in 1926 by Wall Street banker Clarence Dillon. Dillon was an old comrade of Prescott Bush's father Sam Bush."
Thyssen went into business with Harriman for the same reasons he went into business with Hitler, to increase his wealth and power. It is unlikely that Thyssen did not inform Harriman of his intention of helping Hitler come to power. Indeed, Fritz Thyssen was Adolf Hitler's primary financial backer and had been providing considerable financial support to Hitler and the Nazis, since 1923. At their first meeting, Thyssen gave the new "German Messiah," $25,000. At the same time, Thyssen and Harriman were also making big plans, some of which were dependent on Hitler coming to power.
As Thyssen explained: "We were at the worst time of the inflation. In Berlin the government was in distress. It was ruined financially. Authority was crumbling. In Saxony a communist government had been formed and the Red terror, organized by Max Hoelz, reigned through the countryside. The German Reich... was now about to crumble."
Thyssen states that it was General Erich Ludendorff who first told him of Hitler and that Hess made the introductions. In 1923, General Erich Ludendorff was also the chief patron of Hitler's SA, which, because it had been outlawed by the German government, had been renamed "Frontbann." The SA (Frontbann) was a terrorist organization, which counted among its members, Heinrich Himmler.
Thyssen admits that he was mesmerized by Hitler. "I realized his orator gifts and his ability to lead the masses. What impressed me most however was the order that reigned over his meetings, the almost military discipline of his followers."
In 1924, after his meetings with Hitler, Fritz Thyssen sent Hendrick J. Kouwenhoven, the managing director of his bank, to meet with the Harriman-Walker clique. It was after that meeting that the Union Banking Corporation was established.
In 1926 George Walker made his son-in-law Prescott Bush, vice-president of Harriman & Co. and president of Union Banking. The Thyssen banking relationship was expanded to include partnerships in the new German Steel Trust, Germany's largest industrial corporation, which was also headed by Fritz Thyssen, Adolf Hitler's primary financial backer.
According to the United States Government, Prescott Bush's Union Banking Corporation (which he directed) was working as a front for the Thyssen family of Germany.
As summed up by John Loftus, former U.S. Department of Justice Nazi War Crimes prosecutor, and the President of the Florida Holocaust Museum: "Thyssen (and the Nazi Party) obtained his early financing from Brown Brothers Harriman, and its affiliate, the Union Banking Corporation. Union Bank, in turn, was the Bush family's holding company for a number of other entities, including the Holland American Trading Company. The Bush's Union Bank bought the same corporate stock that the Thyssens were selling as part of their Nazi money laundering."
These Nazi-front companies, "Brown Brothers, Harriman" and "Union Banking Corporation," were controlled almost entirely by men who belonged to the American chapter of "Skull and Bones." Prescott Bush and associates, and Standard Oil, also provided loans, executive expertise, and petroleum-related products to IG Farben. IG Farben used that expertise to develop poison gas and petroleum to drive the Nazi war machine, and to run its slave labor and death-camps, the most notorious of which was Auschwitz where 83,000 people worked as slaves.
It is estimated that in the concentration camps alone, Himmler's SS, worked to death and killed over 10 million men and women. A favored method of killing was using a special gas developed by IG Farben.
Prescott Bush and Harriman were also in business with several other leading Nazis, such as Friedrich Flick who later became Hitler's minister of the Interior, as well as IG. Farben, the company that developed the poison gas to kill Russians, gypsies, and Jews. Like Harriman and Bush, Flick was a member of The Order. The Flick-Harriman partnership was managed by Prescott Bush.
According to a U.S. government brief presented in 1946 at the Nuremberg war crimes tribunal, industrialist Friedrich Flick, was "a leading financial contributor to the Nazi Party from 1932 on and a member of the Circle of Friends of Himmler who contributed large sums to the Nazi SS."
The "Circle of Friends" is also known as the "Friends of the Reichsfuhrer SS." The Hamburg-Amerika line, which was directed by Prescott Bush, was also counted among the Friends of the Reichsfuhrer SS, also known as "The Order" and the "Brotherhood of Death."
Frick joined this most secretive and powerful of societies in 1932. By contrast, Prescott Bush and the Harriman brothers (W.A. and E.R) joined the American chapter of The Order, in 1917, 1913, and 1917, respectively, long before Hitler had taken the first steps on his long road to power. They were all part of the same brotherhood, however. Indeed, be it the Thule Society, the SS, or the American version of "The Order," all sprouted from the same German roots.
The evil, diabolic symbolism of Skull and Bones is designed to stir feelings of terror and to warn of death which is why it appears on bottles of poison and has been the symbol of choice for pirates and death squads. It is precisely because it is designed to induce terror that the symbol of the death head became the talisman worn on the black uniforms of Adolf Hitler's Nazi elite: The Order, the dreaded SS, the Brotherhood of Death.
The Bonesman of Yale shared not just the symbolism of the Skull and Bones with the SS Nazi elite, but practiced many of the same exact initiation rituals and recruited their elite members from the same strata of society.
Like the Bonesmen of Yale, the Nazi SS recruited its members from the upper echelons of society, i.e. the blue bloods, bankers, and aristocrats. As detailed by Heinz Hohns, "the first arrivals were from the aristocracy. Even before the Nazi seizure of power certain great names had been added to the SS list," including Grand Dukes, Counts, and Princes. However, "in spring 1933 came a further infusion of blue blood. Many of the senior SS posts were occupied by the nobility... and the ruling class elite. The primary requirements in the SS, were money and officer material, and they could come only from one source, the old-established ruling class elite, the nobility, the world of commerce and the financiers... German's captains of industry."
There were, however, different ranks within the SS. Those who were to belong to the highest ranks underwent an initiation ceremony similar to that of the Order of Skull and Bones at Yale. As detailed in Heinz Hohn's, The Order of the Death's Head, initiates into the SS underwent an occult-like quasi-religious midnight ceremony involving oath-taking, question and answer confessions, and prayer-like sessions, all of which were designed to impress upon the initiate that he was able to become a "knight" and a member of a secret brotherhood.
The ceremony took place at midnight, in a castle, beneath the dining hall where there lay a stone crypt and the realm of the dead. A flight of steps in the middle of the crypt led down into a well-like cavity; in the centre of the cavity were twelve stone pedestals. Bones and relics, including the skull and skeleton of noble men and kings were also kept within the "holy of holies" including the bones of King Heinrich.
Initiates would thus commune with the spirits of the dead, who might appear and even speak. The initiate into the SS, by undergoing this spiritual journey, would also be reborn, as a knight, and a member of the secret order.
Likewise, we are informed that initiates into Yale's 'The Order', were required to undergo an array of "exotic and occult bonding rituals" including a quasi-religious midnight ceremony which involved question and answer confessions that took place while the initiate lay in a coffin.
The ceremony took place in castle, at midnight, in "the tomb." As explained by Ron Rosenbaum while lying in the coffin the initiates goes "off on a symbolic journey through the underworld to rebirth, which takes place in Room Number 322. There, the Order clothes the newborn knight in its own special garments, implying that, henceforth, he will tailor himself to the Order's mission." (p. 89, 148).
The Castle walls of Himmler's SS headquarters, were heavily decorated with Nazi symbols and regalia.
Likewise, based on several independent reports by those who visited the Skull and Bones Yale Castle, what Bones initiates call "the Tomb," some of the walls and rooms are covered with Nazi symbols and regalia, including swastikas, and "SS macho Nazi iconography." One visitor described a room with "a little Nazi shrine inside."
In yet another room of the Order of Skull and Bones, one visitor observed "mantelpieces decorated with loads of skulls." She and others have been told "that in order to prove their mettle and perhaps to bond them in mutual guilt over participation in an illicit act, each class of 15 new initiates to Skull and Bones are required to dig up the skull of a famous person and bring it to the Tomb to be enshrined in its skull collection."
Like the SS, The Order of Skull and Bones is also known as the Brotherhood of Death. And we are told, initiates into the SS and The Order of Skull and Bones, are required to say the words: "It is an honor..."
When George W. Bush was asked, "Did you have any qualms, say, about joining an elite secret club like Bones?" Bush replied, "I was honored."
The identical symbolism and use of similar language is not just coincidence. In fact, Prescott Bush and several of his fellow Bonesmen, felt such an affinity with Nazi terrorist ideals, that they helped arm Hitler�s SS and the Nazi terrorist war machine. However, Bush and his partners in banking and oil, did not link up with Hitler and his SS just because of shared ideology but because of money, oil, and an unquenchable thirst for power.
The Rockefellers have divested much of their holdings into places which they control, but nominally they are not owners of. The Rockefellers financial power Is far greater than the balance sheets would indicate. The Rockefellers can give donations from an organization which they control to another that they control, and not lose any control over the money. The donations look Impressive, but the Rockefeller bloodline hasn’t lost.
Rockefeller’s Standard Oil uses the pentagram in a circle as their logo. Just three of countless Rockefeller companies are Texas Instruments and General Electric, and Eastman Kodak. The Rockefellers also control Boeing. The author Fritz Sprlngmeier has repeatedly reported from numerous sources about the occult activities that are being perpetrated at the Boeing plants in the Seattle area. Monarch programming has even taken place at a Boeing Plant. All these things fit together when one gets the bigger picture and the inside scoop. The Rockefellers also control Delta. Has anyone realized that the Delta symbol is a very widely used pagan symbol? Is It any wonder so many Illuminati and CIA, and world financiers, and people like Chuck Colson use Delta to fly on.
Safe to say the Rockefellers own land all over South America. The Rockefellers own land most anywhere anyone would want to visit in the US. from Hawaii to Texas to Florida and Seal Harbor, Maine. Notice how often Bush would go to Maine when he was President?
The Rockefellers have played a role in Lucis Trust and the United Nations. Interestingly, you will notice that Prince Charles is the spokesperson for Lucis Trust and also works with the United Nations in various ways. Prince Charles Is from another illuminati bloodline. More research can be done to see how Lucis Trust fits into things. The Rockefellers were involved in the creation of the FBI, so that the FBI has always been an arm of power for the Illuminati. That is why there are official FBI programs in action today to kidnap children and provide them for sacrifice. The organization that is working as part of the FBI is the Finders. (The stink was so bad that US. News & World Report did a story to soften the impact of the scandal.) Ex-Satanists who worked with the FBI to receive the children the FBI kidnapped and sold to them for sacrifice have been trying to get the word out publicly about the FBI’s corruption. When the Illuminati was beginning to get exposed in the Franklin Saving & Loan case in Lincoln, NE the FBI was part of the dirty actors and was part of the cover up. The Rockefellers have had control over the FBI since they helped get it started. When Congress wanted to investigate the CIA for wrongdoing the appointed a Commission headed by Rockefeller to investigate the CIA’s wrongdoings! Yes, the Rockefeller Commission did a big study and slapped the hands of the CIA for a few misdeeds. Their report is still cited as the big investigation of the CIA. Some investigation! Since the Rockefeller family work hand in hand with the CIA to create Monarch slaves, of course that part of the CIA’s misdeeds got overlooked!
Validated inside information has been given about the FBI and the CIA programs which kidnap children in order to supply pagan/occult rituals with sacrificial material.
Rather, than risk election, a brilliant coup d’etat was carried out to put Nelson A. Rockefeller into the Vice-Presidency. The Rockefellers control both education and religion in this country by their foundations.
The Rockefellers have played key roles in the C.F.R. Rockefeller wrote the book the Future of Federalism which supports the union of nations into a world government. For many years the Rockefellers have been pouring billions of dollars into projects and international groups which are working to bring in a public One-World government. (The world already has a secret One-World-Government.) The Rockefellers take part in decisions that effect Russia, China and other parts of Asla and with good reason, the House of Rockefeller has holdup and assets in these countries too.
The investigator of the Rockefellers will find that they have secretly had their hand in the politics of the United States during the 20th century. The decisions and directions this nation has taken, are the result of countless orders which the Rockefellers have given to their underlings.
The company was founded in 1823 as "New York Chemical Manufacturing Company", a maker of various chemicals. The next year its charter was amended to perform banking activities. It changed its name to the "Chemical Bank of New York" and ceased manufacturing chemicals by 1851. The company grew through both organic growth and a series of mergers, most notably with Corn Exchange Bank, Texas Commerce Bank (a large bank in Texas), and Manufactures Hanover Trust. At many points throughout this history Chemical Bank was the largest bank in the United States (either in terms of assets or deposit market share).
In 1895 Drexel, Morgan & Co. became J. P. Morgan & Co.. It financed the formation of the United States Steel Corporation, which took over the business of Andrew Carnegie and others and was the world's first billion-dollar corporation. In 1895 it supplied the United States government with $62 million in gold to float a bond issue and restore the treasury surplus of $100 million.
In 1892 the company began to finance the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad and led it through a series of acquisitions that made it the dominant railroad transporter in New England. Railroads began their decline in the early 20th century, losing alternative transportation. Its primary competitor Kuhn, Loeb & Co. was a more successful adviser and financier to production companies and J.P. Morgan lost its first place in market cap and the league tables.
In August 1914 Henry P. Davison, a Morgan partner, traveled to England and made a deal with the Bank of England to make J. P. Morgan & Co. the monopoly underwriter of "war bonds" for England and France. The Bank of England became a "fiscal agent" of J. P. Morgan & Co. and vice versa. The company was also invested in the suppliers of war equipment to England and France. And through that made money from the financing and buying activities of the two European governments.
In the 1930's, JP Morgan was forced by the Glass-Steagall act to split into two companies: JP Morgan (a commercial bank) and Morgan Stanley (an Investment Bank). However, by the 90's and when it was acquired by Chase Manhattan, JP Morgan had turned itself into an Investment Bank too. It had three major activities: investment banking, private banking (providing financial services to wealthy people throughout the world), and private equity.
In 1934, representitives of J.P. Morgan, Goodyear, and DuPont were implicated by General Smedley Butler in the Business Plot to overthrow the U.S government and set up a fascist dictatorship.
In the summer of 1934 Gerald MacGuire, a lawyer in the Morgan brokerage office of Grayson M.P. Murphy and an official of the American Legion, visited General Smedley Butler at his home in Newton Square, Pennsylvania. Butler, former Commandant of the Marine Corps and holder of two Congressional medals of honor, had ended his 33-year career in the Marines three years earlier amid a storm of diplomatic protest over his public description of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini as "a mad dog about to break loose in Europe." The General had stubbornly rejected Hoover's demand for a retraction and had retired from the service a proud but bitter man. But he was also probably the most popular soldier in America. As such, he was an attractive prize for any movement, and it was for this reason that MacGuire, mistakenly banking on the General's personal bitterness and the then frequent brandings of Roosevelt as a "dictator," paid the old soldier a call.
America, MacGuire told Butler, was in great danger from a "communist menace," and needed a complete change of government. Then MacGuire made his pitch. A "militantly patriotic" veterans' organization, like the fascist Croix de Feu operating in France, was the only kind of organization that could force a change in Washington; he suggested Butler lead such an organization in "a march on Washington." "We have three million dollars to start with on the line," he told Butler, "and we can get three million more if we need it."61
"To be perfectly fair to Mr. MacGuire," Butler testified some months later:
"He didn't seem bloodthirsty. He felt such a show of force in Washington would probably result in a peaceful overthrow of the government. He suggested that 'we might even go along with Roosevelt and do with him what Mussolini did with the King of Italy.' Mr. MacGuire proposed that the Secretary of State and Vice President would be made to resign, by force, if necessary, and that President Roosevelt would probably allow MacGuire's group to appoint a Secretary of State. Then, if President Roosevelt was 'willing to go along,' he could remain as President. But if he were not in sympathy with the fascist movement, he would be forced to resign, whereupon, under the Constitution, the Presidential succession would place the Secretary of State in the White House. He told me he believed that at least half of the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars would follow me.'"
Exactly two weeks later, on August 23, the American Liberty League publicly announced its existence, with MacGuire's employer, Grayson M. P. Murphy, as its treasurer. Butler knew MacGuire spoke for certain financial interests, mostly those of J. P. Morgan & Company. A year before, in July 1933, MacGuire and another Legion official, William Doyle, had payed him a similar visit to ask him to lead a well-financed "rank-and-file' movement to oust the Legion's autocratic leadership at the Chicago convention that autumn.
MacGuire had been subsequently sent to Europe in the spring of 1934 on "business" which amounted to a survey of the role played by veterans in Mussolini's Fascisti, in Germany's Nazi Party, and in France's fascist Croix de Feu movement. 'The Croix de Feu is getting a great number of recruits," he wrote Clark from Paris, and I recently attended a meeting of this organization and was quite impressed with the type of men belonging. These fellows are interested only in the salvation of France, and I feel sure that the country could not be in better hands 71
MacGuire's favorable impressions of European fascism did not exist in a social vacuum, however. Many business leaders, including those in the Du Pont camp, and even some liberals for a time, had been infatuated with the fascist movement. General Motors' William Knudsen, for example, on his return from Europe, described Hitler's Germany to a reporter as "the miracle of the twentieth century." Even Alfred I. du Pont's daughter Madeleine had contracted the fascist epidemic during her stay in Germany, and her third marriage to Friedrich Hermann Ruoff had spawned three young Nazi zealots. In America many openly fascist organizations had sprung up, including the Khaki Shirts, the Blue Shirts, the White Band, the Nationalists, and the Silver Shirts. Lawrence Dennis emerged as the "theoretician" of American fascism, and The American Guard magazine appeared, published by the "Swastika Press." More home-grown brews also were stirred, including the racist Southern Committee to Uphold the Constitution, the Crusaders, the para-military Minute Men and Women of Today, and the anti-Semitic Sentinels of the Republic, all financed, and some even created, by the Du Ponts' American Liberty League.
On November 20, 1934, General Butler revealed the whole ugly scheme by testifying before a private session of the Special House Committee on Un-American Activities. He suggested that if the Committee wanted to get to the bottom of this, they question the biggest interests involved: Grayson M. -P. Murphy, General Douglas MacArthur, Hanford MacNider, ex-National Commander of the American Legion, and leaders of the American Liberty League.
The Committee called none of these, but it did have James Van Zandt, National Commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and Gerald MacGuire testify under oath. Van Zandt corroborated Butler's testimony and admitted knowing of the plot. MacGuire, on the other hand, would admit only that he had met occasionally with Butler, but claimed that he had been "misunderstood." French's testimony, however, corroborated Butler's and Van Zandt's. But the Committee, perhaps frightened of the implications, refused to delve further into the conspiracy, suppressing much of the most incriminating testimony in its official report to the House on February 15, 1939. Nevertheless, the report confirmed a plot to overthrow Roosevelt with a fascist coup d'etat:
"In the last few weeks of the Committee's official life it received evidence showing that certain persons had made an attempt to establish a fascist organization in this country.... There is no question that these attempts were discussed, were planned, and might have been placed in execution when and if the financial backers deemed expedient.
