Confusion About the Constitution

Confusion About the Constitution

Thomas Allen


Many people believe that we live under the Constitution ratified in 1788. We do not. We are living under the Constitution that Lincoln gave us, further developed by Presidents Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt, and carried to fruition by the Warren Court. Although the words may be the same, their meaning has significantly changed. Lincoln’s War and the Fourteenth Amendment fundamentally altered the country and its government. (For a description of some of these fundamental changes, see “What Is Your View of the US Constitution?” and “Before and After” by Thomas Allen.)

Before Lincoln’s War and the Fourteenth Amendment, the States were independent sovereign republics. Also, before the Fourteenth Amendment, the United States were a monoracial country (see “The Constitution of 1788 Was Only for White People” by Thomas Allen). After Lincoln’s War and the Fourteenth Amendment, the States lost their independence, sovereignty, and republican form of government, and became little more than administrative districts in a consolidated multiracial national empire. (Stripping the States of their republican form of government violates the Constitution of 1788, but not Lincoln’s Constitution. For a State to have a republican form of government, it has to have the right to decide for itself whether a federal law is constitutional or unconstitutional. If it finds that a federal law is unconstitutional, it has not only the right but also the duty to nullify that law and make it unenforceable in that State. This right is denied them under Lincoln’s Constitution. [See “Returning Republican Governments to the States” by Thomas Allen.]) Furthermore, Lincoln’s War and the Fourteenth Amendment transferred the sovereignty of “we the people” of each State to the oligarchs who controlled the federal government.

Moreover, under the Constitution of 1788, Congress was the strongest of the three branches of the federal government, and the judiciary was the weakest. Under today’s Lincoln’s Constitution, the country has a kritarchy with an imperial president and an impotent Congress.

Additionally, under the Constitution of 1788, the federal government was strictly limited to a few delegated powers. All other powers remained with the States. Under today’s Constitution, the federal government has almost unlimited powers, while the powers of the States are only those allowed by the federal government.

Blue Cities’ Response to Deporting Illegal Immigrants

Blue Cities’ Response to Deporting Illegal Immigrants

Thomas Allen


Several blue cities, cities controlled by Democrats, have become notorious for trying to prevent the apprehension and deportation of illegal immigrants. Instead of using the constitutional method to stop the enforcement of immigration laws, they prefer an unconstitutional approach. The political leaders of these cities support violent protests against federal agents attempting to apprehend illegal immigrants.

The constitutional approach is to have the State, i.e., the people of that State, through their legislature or special convention, find the federal immigration law unconstitutional and nullify or veto it in that State. Thus, the immigration law would no longer be valid in that State because it would not exist in that State. Any federal agent who tried to enforce the federal immigration law would violate the Constitution and could be subject to penalties. (See “Nullification and Interposition” by Thomas Allen.)

At least that is the way it would work under the Constitution that the Founding Fathers gave us. Under that Constitution, the people of each State were sovereign. As sovereigns, they decided whether the acts of their agent, the federal government, were contrary to the agreement (the Constitution) that they had entered into with the other sovereigns, i.e., the people of the other States.

However, Lincoln and the Republicans usurped the sovereignty of the people of the States and gave it to the oligarchs who control the federal government.

Unfortunately, today, the country operates under the constitution that Lincoln as furthered developed by Presidents Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt and carried to fruition by the Warren Court gave it. Under the Lincoln constitution, States have only those rights that the federal government grants them. (For the difference between the Constitution of the Founding Fathers and Lincoln’s constitution, see “What Is Your View of the US Constitution?” by Thomas Allen.)

President Trump, most Republicans, many conservatives, and all Democrats, when they control the federal government, have little use for the Constitution of the Founding Fathers. They prefer the Lincoln constitution because it gives them more power and will ignore any nullification. Consequently, since the peaceful method of nullification is not available, blue cities are reduced to violence to try to stop the enforcement of what they perceive as unconstitutional laws. 

Nevertheless, the US Supreme Court allows city, county, and State officials to refuse to aid the federal government in the enforcement of federal laws. (A State may require local officials to cooperate with the federal government in enforcing federal laws.) However, they cannot actively interfere with the federal government enforcing federal laws.

(Personally, I believe that the federal government has the constitutional authority to apprehend and deport people who have entered the country illegally. However, that is a decision that the people of each State have the right to make for themselves.)

Republicans, Democrats, and Populists

Republicans, Democrats, and Populists

Thomas Allen


Following Lincoln’s War, the Republicans used the Fourteenth Amendment and Fifteenth Amendment to debilitate the Democratic Party and destroy the South, which was the backbone of the Democratic Party. (Ironically, following World War II, both the Republicans and Democrats used them to destroy what remained of the South.) Before the Populists captured the Democratic Party following the last Cleveland administration, the South and the Democrats opposed most of the Republican Party’s policies and agendas.

Later, the Republican Party would use the Fourteenth Amendment to destroy the United States as a whole. (After World War II, Democrats joined the Republicans in using it to destroy the country.) This destruction began during the Eisenhower administration with the Warren Court. With the arrival of the Lyndon Johnson administration, the Democrats began surpassing the Republicans in bringing down the country and have now left the Republicans far behind in their mayhem.

In general, the Republican Party supported and mostly still supports a strong central government, government-business partnerships, mercantilism, protective tariffs,[1] internal taxes, corporate welfare, centralized banking, profligate spending, large-scale public works, growing federal debt, a large standing army, expansionism and imperialism, and a loose, expansive interpretation of the Constitution. It opposed States’ rights, free trade, and a limited, prudent, frugal federal government. Furthermore, it opposed State sovereignty and maintained, in practice, that sovereignty resides in those who really control the federal government. Hamilton is the forefather of the Republican Party.

On the other hand, the Democratic Party supported States’ rights, a small, limited federal government, little or no federal debt, free markets, free trade, tariffs for revenue only, decentralized banking with the States regulating banking, personal freedom, a strong emphasis on the Bill of Rights, and a strict interpretation of the Constitution. It opposed a strong centralized government, corporate welfare, protective tariffs, internal taxes, centralized banking, a large standing army, and a large federal debt. Moreover, it supported State sovereignty, i.e., “We the People” of each individual State were sovereign. Jefferson is the forefather of the Democratic Party. (By the time of the Wilson administration, the Democratic Party had abandoned Jefferson for Hamilton.  President Wilson was an admirer and imitator of Lincoln. Both were imperial presidents.[2])

During the Franklin Roosevelt administration, the Democratic Party became the image of the Republican Party. Most of the programs that Roosevelt adopted were extensions of Hoover’s programs. Following World War II, the Democratic Party became more Republican than the Republican Party. After the Republicans brought the country integration, affirmative action, and quotas, the Democrats pushed integration, miscegenation, and amalgamation with more vigor than did the Republicans.  Consequently, the Democratic Party promoted genocide of the White race with more ferocity than did the Republican Party. Additionally, the Democratic Party moved on to promote political correctness, wokeism, diversity-equity-inclusion, queerdom, and other perversions. Today’s Democratic Party is the logical conclusion of Lincoln’s Republican Party.

Ironically, today, the political philosophy of many rank-and-file Republicans is closer to that of the traditional Democratic Party than to the philosophy of the traditional and contemporary Republican Party.

In general, Populists agreed with the fundamental principles of the Republican Party. Their primary disagreement was that they wanted to use the power of the federal government to favor farmers and workers instead of big business. Like Progressives, they favored the envy-driven progressive income tax (the Sixteenth Amendment) and the direct election of US Senators (the Seventeenth Amendment), which weakened the States. Moreover, Populists favored cheap credit, cheap money (low-quality money), inflation, and cheating creditors by paying off debt with less valuable money. Unlike today’s Democrats and most Republicans, Populists want to restrict immigration.


Endnotes

1. Following World War II, the Republican Party abandoned advocating protective tariffs because most major American corporations had become international corporations. Protective tariffs no longer suited their needs. They wanted managed foreign trade. As a result, the Republican Party supported free trade agreements such as NAFTA, which USMCA replaced, and GATT, which managed trade to benefit multinational corporations.

2.  Like Lincoln, Wilson supported and promoted centralized banking and government-business partnerships — only Wilson was more fascist than Lincoln. Additionally, both had little regard for the Constitution of 1788, which they largely ignored. Furthermore, like Lincoln, Wilson suppressed free speech and imprisoned political opponents. Both were warmongers who led the country to an offensive war that could have easily been avoided. However, Lincoln had a more aggressive approach to the racial issue. While Lincoln wanted to ship Blacks out of the country, Wilson settled for segregating the races. Ironically, Glenn Beck ranks Lincoln as the best or second-best President and Wilson as the worst or second-worst president (Jackson is his rival). However, their similarities far outweigh their differences.

Israel-Iran War

Israel-Iran War

Thomas Allen


The following are some observations about Israel’s sneak attack on Iran and President Trump’s response.


Self-defense

Israel and nearly every Zionist use the self-defense argument to justify Israel’s sneak attack on Iran. According to Israel, for the last 45 years, Iran has been weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon. (If true, Iran must have some highly incompetent scientists and engineers to have failed to acquire a nuclear weapon a long time ago, when a country as poor and backward as North Korea managed to develop nuclear weapons years ago.) Once Iran has a nuclear weapon, Israel contends that Iran will immediately use it on Israel. Although Israel has at least 200 nuclear weapons, Iran must not have even one. (According to Iran, if one believes Iran, which Zionists and Jews do not, it has no nuclear weapons and does not plan to build any. Unfortunately, Israel’s surreptitious attack may have changed Iran’s mind.) The primary thing that Israel seems to be defending itself against is peace.

If a supposed theoretical attack by Iran on Israel justifies Israel’s sneak attack on Iran, then it justifies Japan’s surprise attack on the United States. Indeed, Japan was more justified than Israel. 

Roosevelt was trying to provoke a war with Japan. Iran’s threat to Israel has been primarily rhetorical. However, Roosevelt’s threat was more than rhetoric. He had placed an embargo on exporting vital resources to Japan. Iran’s economic sanctions on Israel are of little consequence. On the contrary, Israel and its vassal states, primarily the United States, have placed many important sanctions on Iran.

Moreover, for decades, Israel has been threatening Iran with far more vigor than Iran has been threatening Israel. If either of them is justified in launching a surprise attack, it is Iran.


Precision of the Attack

Many Zionists boast about the precision of Israel’s sneak attack. It killed mainly Iran’s nuclear scientists and military leaders. Except for family members and others who were nearby when the attack occurred, civilian casualties were minimized.

If Israel could carry out such precise attacks against Iran, why could it not have done the same in killing Hamas in Gaza? While Iran is a large country with aircraft and an air defense system, Gaza is a tiny territory with no air defense. A precision attack against Hamas in Gaza would have been much easier and cheaper than the approach that Israel took of leveling the country and genociding the Palestinians.  Instead of killing Hamas with a precise attack, Israel chose to utterly destroy Gaza with bombs and bulldozers and to genocide the Palestinians who lived there. Obviously, Israel wants to kill as many Palestinians as possible and drive the survivors from Greater Israel. The question remaining is whether Trump or the Jews will turn Gaza into a resort area.  Perhaps Israel will let Trump develop Gaza as a reward for being such a servile slave.


Trump

President Trump has become another sleazy politician. He lied to the American people when he promised not only to keep the United States out of war but also to end quickly the Russia-Ukraine War and the Israeli-Gaza War. Although he could have ended both wars within a few weeks without any threats or expenditures by the United States, he managed not only to stretch them out but also to bring the world even closer to nuclear annihilation. (Most Christian Zionists greatly desire a global nuclear war — especially the premillennialist rapture cultists — and so does a segment of Islam. Both believe that the world must be destroyed before the Messiah comes.)

As President Wilson lied America into World War I, and President Roosevelt lied the country into World War II, Trump seems to be lying the country into World War III. Wilson and Roosevelt ran on a platform to keep America out of war. Likewise, Trump ran on a platform to keep the country out of war.

However, the US Air Force defending Israel from Iranian weapons and bombing Iranian targets for Israel is Trump’s idea of keeping the United States out of war. To anyone with a functioning brain cell, these actions involve the United States in the war. (Is Trump brain dead, or has he sold his soul to Israel and Zionism?)

Further, Trump seems to have aided Israel in its sneak attack by distracting Iran with his nuclear deal negotiations. However, his negotiations were not serious. He offered Iran a deal that he knew Iran would not and could not accept. Now, he can use the excuse that he offered Iran a way to avoid war, but it rejected the offer. Consequently, the blame lies with Iran as Trump goes to war against Iran.

Furthermore, Trump has demanded Iran’s unconditional surrender, which he knows or should know is unacceptable. He followed this demand by ordering the air force to bomb Iran. Consequently, as an obedient slave of Israel, Trump has attacked Iran for Israel.

For decades, Israel had been trying to convince the United States to strike Iran. Finally, Israel got a subservient lapdog in the presidency, who is so Zionist that he will do whatever Israel orders, to fulfill its lustful dream of Greater Israel.

At least Israel does not have to attempt another USS Liberty incident to draw the United States into war against Iran. (During the  Six-Day War in 1967, Israel attacked and tried to sink the USS Liberty, which was an intelligence-gathering ship, off the coast of Egypt. Israel wanted to sink the ship and blame Egypt so that the United States would enter the war against Egypt.)

Apparently, in Trump’s mind and the minds of nearly all members of Congress, Christian Zionists, and most Zionist commentators, no sacrifice is too great to pay to and for “God’s Chosen People.”  Even the utter destruction of America and a global holocaust is an acceptable price to pay for the survival of Israel and the Jews.

Trump deserves the blame for all Americans killed and maimed by Iranian retaliation. Iran did not want war with the United States, but warmongering Zionist Trump attacked it, although it was no threat to the United States. Now, Trump has gotten the United States into another useless, no-win war.

Ever since the assassination of Kennedy, every US President, including Trump, has been a lackey of Israel. With the assassination of Kennedy, the United States became a vassal state of Israel. Since then, Israel has owned every US President and nearly all members of Congress. (Today, 100 Senators and about 430 Representatives represent Israel in Congress.) As Biden was  Zelensky’s president, so Trump is Netanyahu’s president — both of whom are Jews.

If Trump is not a slave of Israel, he needs to start acting like he is not. If he is a man of peace, he needs to stop threatening and bombing Iran and stop supporting Israel’s war machine. If he is a man for the little people, he needs to defend the Palestinians and stop Israel’s genocide of them.

Is Trump’s attack on Iran motivated in part by a desire to fulfill Bush the Younger’s police state dream? After all, Trump completed Bush’s program of the Real ID card, which is the foundation of an authoritarian police state. With his attack on Iran, Trump may have hoped to trigger Iranian sleeper cells in the United States to attack American infrastructure. Does he hope they do so that he can declare martial law and achieve Bush’s nightmare? A police state is also the vision of neoconservatives and Democrats.

If Trump were a statesman instead of a contemptible politician, he would tell Israel, “You started this war; you finish it on your own without any help from us.” Then, he would withdraw all US troops and naval vessels from the Middle East and close all the air force bases. (There is no need to give Israel American targets to attack and blame Iran and draw America into the war.)

Trump’s slogans of “America First” and “Make America Great Again” have become “Israel First” and “Make Israel Great.” As a spin-off of an old saying, “With a friend like Israel, who needs enemies?” Whereas Biden flooded the country with  queerdom and alien invaders, Trump is drowning the country in Zionism.

Jews

Most people who call themselves Jews are not true Jews. Properly speaking, only descendants of Judah are Jews. Most of today’s Jews are not descendants of Judah, and probably all of those who are are mixed with non-Jews. Some are descendants of the people of the Persian Empire who became Jews during the time of Esther for fear of the Jews (Esther 8:17). Others are descendants of the Edomites, who were prominent in Palestine during the life of Jesus. Most of today’s Jews are descendants of the people of Khazaria, who are called Ashkenazim. Yet, all these Jews are “God’s Chosen People.” Since Jews as such did not come into being until the time of the Babylonian captivity, the descendants of the northern tribes are not really Jews. Moreover, the northern tribes were not descendants of Judah.

Since both my father’s and mother’s ancestry can be traced back to Judah, does that make me a Jew? It seems to give me a stronger claim to being a Jew than most contemporary Jews have.

One final note about Jews: most people who hate Jews do not hate them because of their religion or ethnicity. They hate them because of the misbehavior of many Jews.

No Longer a Federation of Republics

 No Longer a Federation of Republics

Thomas Allen

The United States are no longer a federation of republics. That federation and the original Constitution died with Lincoln’s War. Now the United States is (notice the change in the verb from the previous sentence) a judgeocracy with an imperial president and an impotent Congress.

John Marshall, Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, laid the foundation for a judgeocracy. President Abraham Lincoln established the imperial presidency with his war to suppress Southern independence. Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt carried the imperial presidency to completion.

By the middle of the twentieth century, the judicial coup d’etat had been completed. Chief Justice Earl Warren completed what Marshall had started. Now the United States are a judgeocracy with an imperial president.

Under judicial rule, federal judges under the supervision of the Supreme Court have usurped the legislative authority of the State legislatures. Federal courts have absolute control over the States even to the point of forcing State governments to levy taxes to spend on a judge’s predilection. Federal judges even intervene on purely political issues like drawing boundaries for legislative districts. The States have been reduced to little more than personal fiefdoms of federal judges.

Also, federal judges under the supervision of the Supreme Court have usurped the legislative authority of Congress. Judges, especially those on the Supreme Court, have usurped the power to rewrite laws that Congress has enacted to suit their preferences. If Congress enacts a law that they do not like, they veto it. If Congress fails to enact a law that the Supreme Court desires, it will enact such a law with a ruling on a related issue. Thus, the Supreme Court is an unaccountable legislative body. 

Moreover, the Supreme Court has even usurped the authority to amend the Constitution — however, without changing the words of the Constitution. Why bother getting two-thirds of each house of Congress and three-fourths of the States to agree on an amendment when five judges can amend it with their rulings?

What does the Supreme Court use as a guide for amending, vetoing, and promulgating laws? It certainly is not the Constitution. Instead of the Constitution, the Justices of the Supreme Court use their personal biases and prejudices.

Thus, the Supreme Court has elevated itself above the Constitution. It has claimed the sole and final power to decide what the Constitution means, and it amends the Constitution with its rulings to conform with its whims. Whatever the Supreme Court rules is the supreme law of the land. Its rulings are superior to the Constitution. (The Supreme Court gives the Constitution only cursory and perfunctory notice.)

Federal judges no longer seem able to distinguish between the judicial function and the legislative function. Since Marshall, personal biases and personal preferences are much more of a guide in their ruling than is the Constitution and even the clear wording and intent of the law.

Similarly, the executive branch has usurped the legislative authority of Congress  — often with Congress delegating its legislative power to the executive branch. Congress has created numerous regulatory agencies that have the authority to issues regulations that have the effect of law. Further, the President often issues executive orders that have the effect of law. Consequently, Congress enervates its vitality.

Thus, the United States became a judgeocracy with an imperial president, an impotent Congress, and emasculated States. The federation of republican States (nations) that the Constitution established died long ago never to be resurrected.

Mencken on Politics under Democracy

Mencken on Politics under Democracy
Thomas Allen

    In 1926, H. L. Mencken (1880-1956) wrote Notes on Democracy in which he expressed his views on democracy and related issues. He was a journalist, satirist, and critic and a libertarian and one of the leaders of the Old Right. In his book, he describes politics under democracy, pages 29-35. Below is an overview of his discussion on politics under democracy; my comments are in brackets.
    Since fear controls politics under democracy, politicians use it to manipulate the mob. “The demagogues, i.e., the professors of mob psychology, who flourish in democratic states are well aware of the fact, and make it the corner-stone of their exact and puissant science.” Thus, “[P]olitics under democracy consists almost wholly of the discovery, chase and scotching of bugaboos. The statesman becomes, in the last analysis, a mere witch-hunter, a glorified smeller and snooper.” The whole history of the United States “has been a history of melodramatic pursuits of horrendous monsters, most of them imaginary: the red-coats, the Hessians, the monocrats, again the red-coats, the Bank, the Catholics, Simon Legree, the Slave Power, Jeff Davis, Mormonism, Wall Street, the rum demon, John Bull, the hell-hounds of plutocracy, the trusts, General Weyler, Pancho Villa, German spies, hyphenates, the Kaiser, Bolshevism.” [Many of these threats were real; however, politicians exaggerated them to terrorize the mob. Politicians used this tactic of fear to get the American people to beg for the police state following 9-11. Fear has been used to terrorize the people to demand just about every enslaving program that the US government have ever adopted.]
    Under democracy, the plain people “never vote for anything, but always against something.” Consequently, the democratic state tends “to pass over statesmen of genuine imagination and sound ability in favour of colourless mediocrities. The former are shining marks, and so it is easy for demagogues to bring them down; the latter are preferred because it is impossible to fear them.” [The demagogue is a democratic man and is, therefore, part of the mob. Thus, being one of them, the plain people understand him and do not fear him. Does this explain the rabid fear that the common Democrat and many Republicans have of President Trump and especially his supporters and their embracement of Hillary Clinton?] Mencken continues, “The demagogue himself, when he grows ambitious and tries to posture as a statesman, usually comes ignominiously to grief, as the cases of Bryan, [Theodore] Roosevelt, and Wilson dramatically demonstrate.”
    Using Bryan as an example, Mencken shows the rise and fall of a demagogue. “If Bryan had confined himself, in 1896, to the chase of the bugaboo of plutocracy, it is very probable that he would have been elected. But he committed the incredible folly of throwing most of his energies into advocating a so-called constructive programme, and it was thus easy for his opponents to alarm the mob against him. That programme had the capital defect of being highly technical, and hence almost wholly unintelligible to all save a small minority; so it took on a sinister look, and caused a shiver to go down the democratic spine.” [Consequently, most political campaigns consist almost entirely of slogans and mudslinging with little or no details about what the candidate plans to do if he wins.] Continuing, Mencken writes, “It was his cross-of-gold speech that nominated him; it was his cow State political economy that ruined him.”
    According to Mencken, “[g]overnment under democracy is thus government by orgy, almost by orgasm. Its processes are most beautifully displayed at times when they stand most naked — for example, in war days.” He uses World War I, which was then known as World War, to illustrate the use of fear to manipulate mob psychology. “[T]he World War is simply a record of conflicting fears, more than once amounting to frenzies. The mob, at the start of the uproar, showed a classical reaction: it was eager only to keep out of danger. . . . In 1916, on his fraudulent promise to preserve that boy from harm, Wilson was re-elected.” Then came the task of the demagogue to convert the people to warmongers. “The problem was to substitute a new and worse fear for the one that prevailed — a new fear so powerful that it would reconcile the mob to the thought of entering the war.” Right after the election, all agencies of the US government began clamoring for war. “No ship went down to a submarine’s torpedo anywhere on the seven seas that the State Department did not report that American citizens — nay, American infants in their mothers’ arms — were aboard. Diplomatic note followed diplomatic note, each new one surpassing all its predecessors in moral indignation. The Department of Justice ascribed all fires, floods and industrial accidents to German agents. The newspapers were filled with dreadful surmises, many of them officially inspired, about the probable effects upon the United States of the prospective German victory.” As a result, the mob became convinced “that a victorious Germany would unquestionably demand an accounting for the United States’ gross violations of neutrality.” Thus, the demagogue gave the mob a choice of fears. “The first was a fear of a Germany heavily beset, but making alarming progress against her foes. The second was a fear of a Germany delivered from them, and thirsting for revenge on a false and venal friend.” The second fear won. Soon the mob “was reconciled to entering the war — reconciled, but surely not eager.” Now the demagogues had the task “of converting reluctant acquiescence into enthusiasm.” A new fear was the solution. Thus, the government strove to throw “the plain people into a panic. All sense was heaved overboard, and there ensued a chase of bugaboos on a truly epic scale. Nothing like it had ever been seen in the world before, for no democratic state as populous as the United States had ever gone to war before.” By the end of 1917, the American people “were in such terror that they lived in what was substantially a state of siege, though the foe was 3,000 miles away and obviously unable to do them any damage.” Only the draft “gave them sufficient courage to attempt actual hostilities. That ingenious device, by relieving the overwhelming majority of them of any obligation to take up arms, made them bold.” Mencken continues, “Before it was adopted they were heavily in favour of contributing only munitions and money to the cause of democracy, with perhaps a few divisions of Regulars added for the moral effect. But once it became apparent that a given individual, John Doe, would not have to serve, he, John Doe, developed an altruistic eagerness for a frontal attack in force. For every Richard Roe in the conscript camps there were a dozen John Does thus safely at home, with wages high and the show growing enjoyable.” Mencken concludes, “So an heroic mood came upon the people, and their fear was concealed by a truculent front. But not from students of mob psychology.” [Today, the same use of fear is being used to manipulate psychology in the War on Terrorism with all agencies of the government and their collaborators in the media inciting war. President Bush’s inane remark that “if we do not fight them over there, we will have to fight them here” was an insult of the highest magnitude of the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy. How could anyone with no air force and no navy attack the United States, unless the Bush regime let them into the country?]

JOHN BROWN’S CONNECTION TO ZIONISM

JOHN BROWN’S CONNECTION TO ZIONISM
Thomas Allen

    In 1859, John Brown, the father of modern-day terrorism, led an armed invasion of the South. His objective was to promote a slave revolt. Prominent abolitionists financed his invasion. They included Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe, Rev. Theodore Parker, Franklin Benjamin Sanborn, Gerrit Smith, and George Luther Stearns. This group became known as the Secret Six for their involvement with Brown. Other leading New Englanders who aided Brown were Samuel Cabot and John Murray Forbes.
    Higginson was from a leading New England banking family and a national leader of American Freemasonry. He funneled money from British radicals to abolitionists in Massachusetts who agreed with his goal of abolishing the United States Constitution and dissolving the United States.
    Howe was from a wealthy banking family and husband of Julia Howe, who wrote the anti-Southern song the “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Howe and his wife, Julia, founded The Commonwealth, an antislavery tabloid.
    Parker was a leading Transcendentalist and Congregationalist minister and an activist in the Masonic tradition. He married into the Cabot family. He was the chief organizer of the Secret Six to finance John Brown’s raid.
    Sanborn was a disciple of Parker and Ralph Waldo Emerson. In 1857, he became Brown’s chief agent in New York.
    Smith was the first to finance Brown. He was the son of John Jacob Astor’s business partner. He was the largest land owner in New York, holding more than a million acres. Smith also gave Mazzini, the Italian revolutionary and later the most powerful man in the Western world, at least eight million dollars.
    Stearns was the leader of the Free Soilers (the Free Soilers were antislavery agitators in Kansas). He provided Brown and his terrorist gang money and a farm in Kansas from which to operate.
    Cabot paid for rifles for Brown to use in Kansas. Later his bank, Cabot Bank, lent Brown money for his terrorist operations. Brown never repaid this loan, and Cabot made no attempt to collect it.
    The Massachusetts State Disunion Convention, which Higginson called in 1857, laid plans for the Harper’s Ferry raid. Its objective was to split the United States. This convention was little more than a continuation of the Essex Junto, except instead of New England States leaving the Union, the Southern States would be driven out of the Union. The Essex Junto was behind the secession movement in New England at the time of the War of 1812.
    After Brown was executed, he became a martyr of the abolitionists. Ralph Waldo Emerson, a Young America supporter, an agent of the British imperialism, and ideological leader of the abolitionists conspiracy, eulogized him and promoted him as a saint.
    Closely associated with the Secret Six was C.I. Scofield. They used their influence to get him admitted to the bar in Kansas although he never attended law school and did not seem to have attended any college. They got him appointed U.S. District Attorney for Kansas, but scandal soon forced him to resign. After he was convicted of forgery, he became a follower of J.N. Darby, founder of the Brethren Movement.
    The Secret Six believed that the only way that America could be converted to socialism was for Christians to abandon politics and the affairs of state. (Abolitionism, socialism, and Zionism come from the same source and have the same hostility toward Christianity.) Christians had to cease being militant advocates of God’s law and the Holy Scriptures. The First Amendment needed to be subverted. Instead of meaning that government could not interfere with religion, it came to mean that the Christian Church was to be silent in the affairs of state.
    Samuel Untermyer, who was a wealthy corporate Jewish lawyer, a Zionist, and a communist sympathizer if not an outright Communist, was a major supporter of Scofield and the Scofield Reference Bible. Scofield came forth to emasculate Christianity. Through his annotated Bible, he taught a futuristic eschatology: Christ will return in the last days and rapture Christians from planet Earth thereby saving them from the evils of Satan, his anti-Christ, and his one world government and one world religion. The world must become worse and worse. An absolute autocrat must arise and rule the world. Scofield taught Zionism, the establishment of a Jewish political state to supplant the Palestinians in Palestine. This Jewish state must come into being before Christ returned. The result of his work was to convert Christians to Zionists. He demoralized and neutralized Christians.
    Untermyer later got President Wilson to appoint Louis Brandeis to the Supreme Court. Brandeis, a Zionists and a lawyer for the Jewish bank Kuhn, Loeb and Co., was the first Jew to serve on the Supreme Court.
    Wilson’s enjoyment of writing love letters to married women made him vulnerable to blackmail. Untermyer offered to give Wilson the money to buy these letters from his blackmailer if Wilson would allow him (Untermyer) to select the next Supreme Court Justice. Wilson accepted the offer, and Louis Brandies became the first Jew to serve on the Supreme Court. Brandies also became Wilson’s advisor on the Jewish Question.
    When the British government became hesitant about giving the Jews Palestine as a homeland, Wilson came forward and pressured the British government in keeping the promise that it made in the Balfour Declaration. With the Balfour Declaration, the British promised Palestine to the Jews as a Jewish homeland if the Jews brought the United States into World War I on the side of the British.
    The Secret Six had supported John Brown and his war of terrorism. They also supported Scofield, who later received the support of Untemyer. These two got the Scofield Bible published, which greatly aided Zionism. Untemyer went on to get Wilson to appoint Brandis to the Supreme Court. Brandis became Wilson’s advisor on Zionism, and Palestine became the Jewish homeland. Following World War II, Jewish terrorism gave birth to Israel. Thus, the Secret Six are to some extent responsible for the turmoil occurring in the Middle East today.

Soviet Union Part 1

Soviet Union Part 1
Thomas Allen

[Editor’s note: Footnotes in the original are omitted.]

Besides fomenting two world wars, Illuminists also incited numerous Communist revolutions during the twentieth century. Before the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, revolutions had occurred in Portugal, Mexico, and other countries. These revolutions provided an arena where various revolutionary tactics and strategies could be tested. They prepared the way for the Bolshevik Revolution, which was the most important revolution of the twentieth century. It was the revolution upon which the others that followed were built.

Bolshevik Revolution
At the end of World War I came the most important illuministic revolution of the twentieth century—the Bolshevik Revolution. The leader of this revolution was Vladimir Lenin. While in Switzerland, Lenin maintained close ties with the Freemasons and other Illuminists. He was a member of Ulianov Zederbaum, a secret lodge. Sir Alfred Milner, 33rd degree Mason, gave Lenin financial support.[1] Alexander Helphand (Israel Lazarevitch), arranged with the German General Staff for Lenin to travel across Germany from Switzerland to Russia. Max Warburg, head of the German secret police, also aided Lenin and his gang to cross Germany to Russia. Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg approved Lenin’s passage. (Not long afterwards, the Reichstag forced his resignation.) Accompanying Lenin were Karl Radek, an Austrian Jew deserter, and several other Jews.[2] (Of the 159 people accompanying Lenin, 128 were Jews.) Paul Warburg funneled large sums of money provided by German bankers to Lenin and Trotsky.[3]

Before Lenin arrived in Russia, a provisional government had been set up. The establishment of the provisional government and abdication of Nicholas II resulted from the February 1917 Revolution, which Freemasons had provoked and had directed from their lodges. (The Allies pressured Nicholas to abdicate.) Alfred Milner, who controlled the Rhodes Trust and Rhodes’ secret society, financed it.[4] The American Red Cross mission to Russia also gave money to the provisional government, primarily for propaganda purposes to urge Russians to stay in the war. Prince George Lvov headed the provisional government with Alexander Kerensky, who may have been a German agent, as his Minister of Justices. Following the Petrograd uprising, three months after Lenin’s arrival, Lvov resigned. Josef Sliozberg then selected Kerensky, a Jew, a 32nd degree Freemason, and democratic socialist, to head the provisional government. When Kerensky became Prime Minister, he appointed only Freemasons to his government. Kerensky’s mission was to keep the pro-Czarist forces and other factions under control until Lenin arrived and set up his Communist government. One of Kerensky’s first acts as Prime Minister was to give Communists and other revolutionists amnesty.[5] After the Bolshevik Revolution, Kerensky and most of his Masonic collaborators were allowed to flee peacefully to France. Kerensky later immigrated to the United States where he earned a living as a well-paid lecturer at leading universities.

Aiding Lenin was Leon Bronstein Trotsky, a Jew and probably a German agent. (Furthermore, he was probably a German and not a Russian.) Nevertheless, Trotsky was not pro-German. Nor was he pro-Allied or pro-Russian. He was an internationalist. World revolution for world dictatorship was his goal. (Internationalism is one of the powerful forces uniting the international financiers with the Communists. Both seek a powerful central global governing authority.) He was the bankers’ inside man in the Bolsheviks. (When Lenin started showing too much independents and claiming real power, Trotsky organized the left socialist-revolutionary putsch and then an assassination attempt against Lenin, which brought Lenin back into line.)

In 1917, President Wilson sent Trotsky to Russia with an American passport. Before leaving, he stated his purpose for going. It was to overthrow the provisional government and end the war with Germany, which would allow Germany to transfer its troops from the eastern front to the western front—where the Americans were fighting. Jacob Schiff, head of the Russian Section of the Jewish International World Government (Kahal),[6] gave a large sum of money to Trotsky. Trotsky also received money from the German government. Paul Warburg arranged the transportation for Trotsky and his entourage of Wall Street financiers, American Communists, Trotskyites, revolutionaries, and other interested parties. (Most of the entourage accompanying Trotsky to Russia were hoodlums, whom Lenin and he used to bring themselves to power.) With the assistance of Thomas D. Thacher, Trotsky organized the Red Army.

When the Bolshevik Revolution broke out, Wilson ordered no interference with it. House advised Wilson to suppress newspapers that viewed Bolshevik Russia as an enemy. William Franklin Sands, executive secretary of the American International Corp., urged the United States to recognize the Bolshevik as the Russian government. A few months later, Robe L. Owen, chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking and Currency and linked with Wall Street, urged Wilson to recognize Russia and to ship aid to the Bolsheviks. (He claimed such action was necessary to offset German influence in Russia.)

Wilson also provided Lenin financial aid at a critical moment during his revolution. He sent his personal emissary, Elihu Root, attorney for Kuhn, Loeb and Co., to Russian. Root brought Lenin with $20 million (1917 dollars or $269 million in 2000 dollars) from his Special War Fund.

Almost all the leaders of the Bolsheviks were Jews. Of the 50 key leaders, only eight were not Jews.[7] Nine of the 12 members of the Central Committee of the Bolshevik party and 17 of the 22 members of the Council of the People Commissars were Jews. About 90 percent of the members of the first communist government of Russia were Jews.[8] Among these Jewish leaders were Akselrode (later Commissar of the Press), Ganetzky (liaison between the Bolsheviks and the German General Staff) and Martov (leader of the Mensheviks). Lenin had a Jewish grandfather, who was a wealthy doctor and who eventually became part of the nobility and an owner of serfs.

When Bolsheviks gained control Russia, they proclaimed complete equality for Jews. Claiming Zionism to be pro-British and anti-Arab, the Bolsheviks also condemned Zionism. (Thus, the Illuminists gave Jews a false choice: Bolshevism or Zionism. In modern-day Israel these two have been essentially united.)

After achieving power, the Bolsheviks outlawed Freemasonry in 1922. Freemasonry had served the purpose of the Illuminists and was no longer needed. The Communist Party now took its place. Also, the Bolsheviks may have feared that if they left organized Freemasonry in place, Freemasons might eventually overthrow them as they had the Czar. However, the primary reason for outlawing Freemasonry was to create the illusion that Freemasonry had no connection with Communism and that animus existed between Freemasonry and Communism.

From behind the scene, Venetian Count Volpi diMisurata directed the operations that brought Lenin to power. DiMisurata had systematized the Balkan wars before the rise of the Bolsheviks. Later he brought Mussolini to power in Italy.

The Bolsheviks were well financed. Among their financial backers were Max Warburg and Co., William Boyce Thompson, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., the Disconto Gesellschaft, Olaf Aschberg (known as the “Bolshevik Banker”) of the Nya Banken of Stockholm, the Siberian Bank, Guaranty Trust Co., W. A. Harriman and Co., Jacob Schiff of Kuhn, Loeb and Co., the Rhine Westphalian Syndicate, and Alfred Milner. Sir George Buchanan and Lord Alfred Milner arranged loans for Trotsky. (Milner and Buchanan strongly influenced the success of the Bolshevik Revolution.) In Great Britain, Fabians provided Lenin and the Soviet Communists with financial and propagandistic aid. Furthermore, Illuminists organized the Bolshevik Revolution.

Big money—the very people the left hates and rails against—has always controlled the left. Commenting on this control, Oswald Spengler wrote:
There is no proletarian, not even a Communist, movement, that has not operated in the interest of money, in the direction indicated by money, and for the time being permitted by money—and that without the idealists among its leaders having the slightest suspicion of the fact.[9]
The American International Corp. was formed in 1915 in New York. Coordination of aid, particularly financial assistance, to the Bolsheviks was its principal goal. It also raised funds for German espionage and covert operation in North America and South America.[10] J.P. Morgan, Jr., the Rockefellers, and National City Bank funded it. Its directors included Pierre du Pont, Otto Kahn (Kuhn, Loeb and Co.), John D. Ryan (director of copper-mining companies, National City Bank, and Mechanics and Metal Bank), Percy Rockefeller, James A. Stillman (president of National City Bank), Vanderlip (former president of National City Bank), Albert H. Wiggins (Chase National Bank), Beckman Winthrop, and William Woodward (director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and Rockefeller-controlled Hanover National Bank). In 1917, 10 of 22 directors were from National City Bank. C.A. Stone, a director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, was its president. The American International Corp., which had extensive holdings globally, worked closely with Guaranty Trust Co. to aid the Bolsheviks. Secretary of State Robert Lansing sought American International Corp.’s advice on developing the United State’s policy toward the Soviet Union. It urged recognition of the Bolshevik regime.

Another important source of funding for the Bolsheviks was the American Red Cross Mission to Russia, which had only a nominal relationship with the American Red Cross. Raymond Robins, a mining promoter, headed the Mission after William Boyce Thompson’s departure from Russia. Robins was an agent of J.P. Morgan, Jr., Thompson, and House. He had enormous influence over Lenin. He participated in Bolshevik Executive Committee meetings and was consulted on important decisions. Following Thompson’s plan, Robins instructed the Bolsheviks to spread communist propaganda across Europe. Many suspected Robins was a Bolshevik. For their work in aiding the Bolsheviks, General William V. Judson of the United States Army recommended that Robins and Thompson be awarded the Distinguish Service Metal.

A major fund raiser for the Red Cross Mission was Henry P. Davison, who represented J. P. Morgan at Jekyll Island and was chairman of the Red Cross War Council(he would later be a member of the Council on Foreign Relations). Vanderlip (the Rockefellers’ representative at Jekyll Island) and Thompson (a director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a major stockholder in Chase National Bank and International Harvester) also assisted in raising money, with Thompson paying most of the mission’s expenses. Davidson and Alexander Legge of International Harvester Co. developed the American Red Cross Mission to Russia. Frederick M. Corse represented National City Bank and Henry Crosby Emery represented Guaranty Trust Co.

Although the ostensible purpose of the American Red Cross Mission to Russia was to provide medical service, the majority (15 of 29) was lawyers, financiers, businessmen, and their assistants. It had only five doctors and three orderlies; the doctors and orderlies stayed only a month. Among the members of the Mission were James W. Andrews (treasurer of the Mission, auditor of Liggett and Myers Tobacco Co.), Robert I. Barr (vice-president of Chase Securities Co. and of Chase National Bank), Frederick M. Corse (National City Bank in Petrograd), Herbert B. Magnuson, William G. Nicholson (Swift and Co.) Harold H. Swift (Swift and Co.) Thomas Day Thacher (attorney with Simpson, Thacher and Bartlett), William B. Thompson, Alan Wardwell (secretary and chairman of the Mission, lawyer with Stetson, Jennings and Russell, and a director of Greenwich Savings Bank, Bank of New York and Trust Co., and the Georgian Manganese Co.) The real objective was to advance the cause of the Bolsheviks to gain control of Russian markets and resources for the international financiers and capitalists, especially those in the United States.

The Mission employed three Russian-English interpreters, all of whom were Bolsheviks: they were Ilovaisky (close friend of Robins), Boris Reinstein (later secretary to Lenin and head of the Bureau of International Revolutionary of Propaganda), and Alexander Gumberg (alias Berg, real name Michael Gruzenberg, chief Bolshevik agent in Scandinavia, later confidential assistant to Floyd Odlum of Atlas Corp. and adviser to Reeve Schley of Chase National Bank).

Thompson gave the Bolsheviks a large sum of money claiming that the Bolsheviks were “the greatest power against Pro-Germanism in Russia” although Germany aided in bringing the Bolsheviks to power as Thompson most likely knew. Thompson seemed to have feared German banking and industrial interest controlling Russia after the war. He strove to have American interests, especially Morgan’s interests, to gain control of Russia and exploit it. Thompson wanted the Bolsheviks to continue fighting the Germans; however, Lenin had no intentions of remaining in the war. According to Sutton:
Thompson was not a Bolshevik; he was not even pro-Bolshevik. Neither was he pro-Kerensky. Nor was he even pro-American. The overriding motivation was the capturing of the postwar Russian market. This was a commercial, not an ideological, objective.[11]
Nevertheless, Thompson and Lenin did have one thing in common—world domination. When Thompson left Russia in 1917, he went to London. Here he met with Thomas W. Lamont, who had arrived from Paris. They persuaded the British War Cabinet to end its hostilities toward the Bolshevik regime. Aiding Thompson and Lamont in persuading Lloyd George to change from being anti-Bolshevik to pro-Bolshevik was Milner. Another important person in the conversion of Lloyd George to being pro-Bolshevik was Basil Zaharoff, an international arms dealer who sold to both sides and whom the Allied leaders frequently consulted. He was a strong supporter of the Bolsheviks, and Lloyd George was indebted to him.

Herbert Hoover, a strong proponent of the League of Nations and later the thirtieth President of the United States, was also instrumental in aiding the Bolsheviks. He bolstered the Bolshevik regime with a program of large scale food shipments. Without the massive food shipments, the starving Russians may have rebelled and overthrown the Bolsheviks. Heading the food relief to Russia was William N. Haskell. (After Stalin rose to power, he arrested everyone in Russia who had worked for this relief program. He did not want the people to know that the Communists had depended on the capitalist West to survive.)

The official diplomats of the United States, Great Britain, and France in Russia strongly opposed the Bolsheviks. All three governments sent agents to Russia to bypass their own official diplomats. Raymond Robins represented the United States. Lloyd George and Milner sent Bruce Lockhart. France sent Jacques Sadoul, a friend of Trotsky.

The Bolshevik government set up a secret trust fund with part of the Czar’s holdings that it had seized. The Bolsheviks used this fund to control the Soviet government. Comprising the trust were Felix Dzerzhinsky (founder of the Cheka), Sidney Reilly (a British secret agent), and W. Averell Harriman.

At the close of World War I, the Allied army invaded Russia. Its purpose was not to defeat the Communists; it was to consolidate Communist control of Russia. The invasion served two purposes. First it diverted and betrayed the Counter Revolution of the White forces as they were defeating the Communists. Second it gave the Communists a rally cry—foreign troops were invading Russia. The invasion succeeded in delivering the Russian peasants to the Communists as they rallied behind the Communists to defend Russia from foreign invaders. (Proof that the British and American forces did not intend to defeat or even frustrate the Communists is that they were sent to Siberia, far away from the fighting. If the purpose had been to defeat the Communists, they would had invaded European Russia.)

The army had been sent, in part, at the urging of Thomas D. Thacher, a member of the Skull and Bones. In 1918, he was urging recognition of the barely surviving Soviet government. He also pressed for giving the Soviet army military assistance and sending an allied army to Siberia to keep the Japanese out until the Bolsheviks could control it.

The United States army did take and hold the Siberian Railroad until the Bolsheviks were strong enough to hold the railroad. Moreover, the United States shipped munitions to the Bolsheviks. While the American intervention army in Siberia was providing the Bolsheviks munitions, Great Britain promised the White Russian army munitions and other supplies. These supplies, however, were never delivered. Furthermore, British agents destroyed airplanes of the White Russians. A lack of munitions and supplies forced the White Russian army to withdraw from Russia.

The coup de grace came to the White Russian army when the French General Janin, commander-in-chief of the Allied armies, surrendered Admiral Aleksandr Kolchak, commander-in-chief of the White Russian army and head of the Russian government, to save himself. At least some justice eventually came out of this incident as the Bolsheviks killed Janin a few days later. The Allies also betrayed the remaining anti-Bolshevik forces in Russia.

After Lenin gave the international financiers the concessions that they wanted, they ceased funding the White Russians. Without money, Lenin’s opposition collapsed. (A major reason that Wall Street and the international financiers had supported the Bolsheviks was to gain the right to exploit Russia. Another major reason was ideological kinship.)

The final collapse came when Sidney Reilly, a British intelligence agent and an agent of the Cheka (the Bolshevik secret police), organized the remaining Tsarist loyalists and betrayed them to the Cheka. The day before the uprising, the Cheka began arresting and executing thousands of the loyalists. The war between the White Russians and the Red Russians (the Bolsheviks) cost the lives of 28 million Russians (as compared to 1.7 million lost during World War I).

Once the Communists gained undisputed control of Russia, they began a reign of terror and mass murder that claimed more than 83 million lives. The Bolshevik Revolution was merely a continuation of the French Revolution. Along with mass murder, Bolsheviks sought to destroy the family unit with free love, i.e., unions easily dissolved at the whim of either partner, and communal education of children where children were taught to spy on their parents. They also kept the wages of workers so low that both parents usually had to work. Like the French Revolutionists, the Bolsheviks sought to destroy the Church. They destroyed church buildings, torn down icons, and murdered many priests.

Most of Czar Nicholas’s wealth, which was about $30 billion (1913 dollars or $457 billion in 2000 dollars), fell into the hands of international bankers. Most of his one billion dollars in gold and jewels were shipped to Kuhn, Loeb and Co. in New York. (Jacob Schiff, the senior partner, had used $20 million of his own moneys to finance the Bolsheviks.[12]) Much of the gold shipped to Kuhn, Loeb and Co. was apparently transferred to Guaranty Trust Co., who in turn had the gold melted in United States mint bars. (The Treasury Department objected to paying Guaranty Trust Co. for this gold as it was suspected of being of Bolshevik origin.)

When Nicholas II was overthrown, he had $400 million in Chase National Bank, National City Bank, Guaranty Trust Co., J. P. Morgan and Co., and Hanover National Bank. Nicholas also had $25 million in Barclay’s, $30 million in Lloyd’s Bank, $35 to 50 million in the Bank of England, $80 million in Rothschild Freres in Paris, $100 million in the Bank of France, and $132 million in the Mendelssohn Bank in Berlin.[13] None of this money has ever been returned to the rightful heirs.

As powerful as he was, Lenin eventually learned that he did not really control the Soviet Union. He might govern it, but he did so as the viceroy of more powerful men. Before he died, he came to realize that Marxism was not a viable economic system. He came to realize the destructive consequences of his action and the lives to the Russians that had been and would be wasted because of them.

Why did the Illuminists select Russia to become a communist country? Was it because Russia was the only major European country without a central bank? Was it because Russia provided an excellent geographical homeland from which Communists could launch revolutions in other countries? Was it to create a great and fearful enemy to scare the peoples of the West to give their governments more power over their lives and to keep and expand the indebtedness of their countries (and to prevent them from reneging on that debt)? Was it to get control of the vast resources of Russia?

One thing is certain, the rich and powerful men of the United States, Great Britain, and other European countries who brought the Communist to power did not fear them. These men knew that they controlled the Communists and the Communist elite in the Soviet Union knew it. If they did not control the Communists, they would not have kept the Soviet Union alive for more than 70 years. The Soviet Union would have died within a few years without the continuous inflow of Western capital and technology.

World War I

World War I
Thomas Allen

[Editor’s note: Footnotes in the original are omitted.]

The twentieth century was a century in which Illuminists made great progress. It was a century of wars and Communist revolutions. The wars and revolutions of this century were orgies of human sacrifices to Lucifer.

In the twentieth century, the Illuminists brought about two world wars. It divided Christendom into opposing camps and had Aryan Christians killing Aryan Christians in large numbers. Illuminists overthrew the Czar of Russia and made Russia an atheistic-communistic empire at the close of World War I. Then at the close of World War II, it had built Russia into a great military power controlling much of the world.

In 1871, Giuseppe Mazzini and Albert Pike proposed a series of world wars that would be so bloody that every country on Earth would surrender their sovereignty to an international governance like the United Nations. Pike concluded that three world wars would be needed to bring about Lucifer’s New World Order. So, the Illuminists planned three world wars to consolidate their world power. The first world war would overthrow the major monarchies of continental Europe, establish a communist regime, and lay the foundations for world government. The second world war would elevate Communism to a world power, give Communists control of Europe, empower Zionism in Palestine, and consolidate the establishment of world government. With the third world war, Communism (atheism), Christianity, Zionism (Judaism), and Islam would destroy each other, and the New World Order would be established with its one world government and one world religion. The third world war would grow out of the conflict between the Zionists and Moslems over Palestine. When the ashes of the third world war settled, Christianity would be no more. Every country would be ready to surrender all to an all powerful global government for the sake of peace.[1] The Illuminists would undisputedly reign supreme. Nimrod’s dream would be fulfilled. Lucifer’s New World Order would be firmly established, and Lucifer would rule all with the Illuminists as his governors and priests.

During the early years of the twentieth century, Illuminists were putting the final pieces in place to bring about the first of these massive war in Europe. This war became known as World War I.

The immediate cause of World War I was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His assassin, Gavrilo Princep (Gabriel Prinzip), was “a progeny of Freemasonry.” Ferdinand knew that his life was in danger and had commented that the Freemasons had resolved to kill him. The Serbian Lodge Narodna Odbrana, in alliance with the Crna Ruka, organized the assassination.[2] The Jews of Salonika and the Committee for Union and Progress were involved in the assassination. The Serbian cabinet, King Alexander, the Russian Minister Hartwig, and the Russian military attache Artmanov knew about the plot to assassinate Ferdinand.[3]

Until the expulsion of the Turks, the Committee for Union and Progress was centered in the Jewish lodges of Salonika. It grew out of the Masonic lodge Macedonia Risorta. Emannuele Carass, a Salonikan Jew, established this lodge. This was one of the two lodges in Salonika under the Grand Orient of Italy.

The Grand Orient of France controlled the Grand Orient of Italy. Funding for the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand came from the Grand Orient of France through the Grand Orient of Italy to the Alliance Israelite Universelle, which was ostensibly a Jewish charitable trust.[4]

Both Austria and Serbia wanted war. While Germany was trying to restrain Austria, Illuminists controlling the governments of Russia, France, and Great Britain were pressing for a large-scale war. Years before it began, they had been planning for war. For years, the countries of Europe had been in an arms race.

Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg, the Chancellor of Kaiser Wilhelm II, led Germany into war. He was a cousin of the Rothschilds and a member of the Frankfort banking family of Bethmann.

Wolff, the German news agency, filled Germans with a desire for war. The Rothschilds owned Wolff. Max Warburg, Wilhelm’s personal banker, was a leading member of Wolff. (The Rothschilds also had an interest in the British news agency Reuters and the French news agency Havas.)

Even before the opening shots, Rothschild Freres in France and J.P. Morgan and Co. in New York were planning to lend large sums to France to buy munitions and other supplies from the United States. Vanderlip, president of National City Bank, offered to support France. (Vanderlip would later be a major supporter of the Bolsheviks in Russia.) J.P. Morgan and Co. was Great Britain’s financial agent in the United States and lent Great Britain a large sum of money at the beginning of the war. Once in office, President Wilson made loans to Great Britain, France, and their allies.

American bankers also raised money for Germany. Kuhn, Loeb and Co. was the first to raise money for Germany, which was deposited with M.M. Warburg and Co. in Hamburg. Chase National Bank, Guaranty Trust Co., and Mechanics and Metal National Bank raised money that Germany used to fund its espionage activities in Mexico and the United States.[5]

Krupp of Germany provided steel for all the major navies involved in the war. The Rothschilds’ mine in Spain supplied lead to Germany. Du Pont provided 40 percent of the Allies’ powder. While war destroys lives of the common people, it can be extremely profitable to those with the right contacts.

After the war started, the main problem that the Illuminists faced was to keep it going. Germany lacked the food and coal for a long war. Without Germany, the war would soon fissile out. To overcome the food problem, Emile Francqui, director of the Belgian bank Societe Generale, and his close associate and friend, Herbert Hoover, organized the Belgian Relief Commission. (When the United States entered the war, Hoover became the head of the U.S. Food Administration.) J. Henry Schroder Banking Co. was a backer of the Belgian Relief Commission.[6] (J. Henry Schroder Banking Co. later helped finance Hoover’s presidential campaign.)

Once the war began the next great task was to bring the United States into the war, preferably on the side of Great Britain and France. This was not an easy task. Most Americans wanted to remain neutral. Almost half the American people had German ancestors. (The United States had the largest German population of any country outside Germany.) If forced into the war, most preferred to side with Germany. (The English were seizing and searching American officials and ships. They were intercepting mail to and from the United States. They were even using the United States flag. These actions had caused the War of 1812 between the United States and the English.[7]) Much deception would be needed, and was used, to get the United States to enter as an ally of the British.

The British Secret Intelligence Service flooded the United States with anti-German propaganda. British agents deceived gullible, credulous American journalists with doctored photographs and false documents. The British painted Germany as a militaristic monster that wanted to rule the world. (Meanwhile, Great Britain was maintaining the greatest, most extensive empire that the world had ever know and wanted to add Germany’s colonies to that empire. British soldiers were in more countries around the world than all other countries put together.) Sir Gilbert Parker was the British agent in charge of pro-British, anti-German propaganda in the United States. Another British intelligence agent sent to the United States to bring then into the war was Sir William Wiseman. As a reward for his excellent work, he was made a partner in Kuhn, Loeb and Co.

In 1916 Congress established the Council on National Defense. Although set up to develop plans to mobilize the United States if they were attacked, its real objective was to push the United States into the war. Daniel Willard (president of the B&O Railroad) was chairman. Other members included Bernard Baruch (Wilson’s campaign fund raiser and later head of the War Industries Board), Howard Coffin (president of Hudson Motor Car Co.), Walter S. Gifford (president of AT&T and a director of the Commission on Industrial Preparedness), Hollis Godfrey (president of Drexel Institute), Samuel Gompers (labor leader and a Jew), and Julius Rosenwald (merchant and philanthropist). Howard Coffin and Elihu Root are credited with creating the Council.

Also, pushing the United States to enter the war was the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, which was created in 1910.

Another organization established to bring the United States into the war was the Navy League. Henry Payne Whitney, a partner of J.P. Morgan and owner of Metropolitan magazine and a member of Skull and Bones, founded the Navy League. Other major actors in the Navy League were J.P. Morgan, Jr. (U.S. Steel), Charles Schwab (Bethlehem Steel), R. M. Thompson (International Nickel), and B. F. Tracy (attorney for Carnegie Steel Co.).

J.P. Morgan, Jr. had his agents to purchase the national and international policy of the 25 most influential newspapers in the United States. He and John D. Rockefeller used the newspapers under their control to propagandize for war against Germany and to promote financial, military, and other matters of interest to Morgan, Rockefeller, and their fellow Illuminists. With advertising money, Morgan and Rockefeller bullied most of the newspapers that they did not control directly into following their pro-war, anti-German line. Where this tactic failed, bribery often work.

During his first term, Wilson presented himself as “the great apostle of peace and neutrality.”[8] When he ran for reelection in 1916, he claimed that he would keep the United States out of the war. However, once he was reelected, he used an event that occurred in 1915, the sinking of the Lusitania to bring the United States into World War I. Using the sinking of the Lusitania and the Zimmerman telegram, Wilson was able to keep his promise to higher degree Illuminists and deliver the United States to the Illuminists. In 1917, the United States entered the war against Germany. (The international financiers needed the United States to protect the value of the French and British bonds that they had bought. France and Great Britain were broke, and Germany was beginning to win. If it won the war, the French and British bonds could have become worthless.)

Upon entering the war, Wilson turned the United States into a fascist state. He appointed Bernard Baruch, son of an immigrant from Poland, head of the War Industries Board, which had absolute control of every factory in the United States. He appointed Eugene Meyer, son of an immigrant from France, head of the War Finance Corp., which controlled the loan program that financed the war. Paul Warburg wrote the plan for organizing the War Finance Corp. Wilson had earlier appointed Paul Warburg, an immigrant from Germany, to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, which controlled the banking system, and, consequently, controlled credit and money in the United States.

Wilson filled his administration with agents and members of J.P. Morgan and Co. and Kuhn, Loeb and Co. His Secretary of the Treasury, William G. McAdoo, was an agent of Kuhn, Loeb and Co. Jerome Hanauer, a partner of Kuhn, Loeb and Co., became the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in charge of Liberty Loans. Several other high-ranking officials in the Wilson administration represented these two companies.

Wilson also arrested and convicted persons speaking and writing against the war. Perhaps the most notable victim was Eugene Debs, head of the Socialist Party.

This war was supposedly fought “to make the world safe for democracy” and “to end all wars.” In reality, it was fought to establish a world government, an essential element of the New World Order. What seemingly was a nationalist war, Freemasons had converted into a socialist and holy war. They used it to bring about the Luciferian illuministic New World Order.

By the end of the war some 18 million people, mostly Aryans, had been sacrificed on Lucifer’s altar. Some $400 billion ($6100 billion in 2000 dollars) had been destroyed. The empires of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, and Turkey were no more. Enormous wealth and power had been transferred to international financiers and other Illuminists.

The war also drove three great European monarchs from their thrones: Hohenzollern of Germany, Hapsburg of Austria-Hungary, and Romanov of Russia. By the end of the war, the governments of these countries were no longer monarchial in form. (Actually, Austria-Hungary ceased to exist as it was divided into Austria, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia and parts of it were given to Rumania, Serbia, Italy, and Poland.) The destruction of these monarchies was an illuministic goal.

Another important out come of World War I was the laying of the foundations to turn Palestine into a Jewish state. At the beginning of the war, Baron Edmund de Rothschild informed Dr. Chaim Weizmann, a leading Jewish Zionist, who became the first president of Israel, that the war would advance Zionism.[9] Following the war, Palestine became a British protectorate. At this time many Jews in Great Britain opposed Zionism and did not favor a Jewish state in Palestine. Most of the major opposition to Zionism came from Jews. They saw it as divisive. (Non-Jewish Zionists retaliated by ostracizing non-Zionist Jews.) Zionism’s greatest support came from such British leaders as Lloyd George (prime minister), Lord Arthur Balfour (foreign secretary), Lord Milner, Sir Mark Sykes (chief secretary to the war cabinet), Leopold Amery (colonial secretary), Lord Robert Cecil (assistant secretary for foreign affairs), General Jan Smuts (South African field marshal and later prime minister). With the Balfour Declaration, Great Britain promised to establish Palestine as a national homeland for Jews. The Zionist Jews promised to bring the United States into the war against Germany.[10] However, the Jews did not want the United States to enter the war until Czar Nicholas II had been overthrown. So, Wilson waited until he was overthrown before asking Congress for a declaration of war. Near the end of the war, the British conquered Palestine not for military purposes but for establishing a future Jewish state. In 1917, Jewish immigration to Palestine began in earnest. The Zionist dream of turning Palestine into a Jewish state came to fulfillment in 1917.

Moreover, the war caused the eventual abandonment of the gold standard. Because banks and governments had issued so much fiat money to finance the war, a return to the gold standard was not possible without greatly devaluing the currency in terms of gold or greatly reducing the currency and causing a depression to bring the currency back to its prewar value. Without a gold standard, bankers could issue money without restraint.

Furthermore, many Illuminists made a fortune out of the war. J.P. Morgan, Jr., Baruch, the Du Ponts, and other Illuminists made fortunes. Much money was made selling governments supplies that they did not need.

Another outcome of the war was the impoverishment of Great Britain. As a result, the leadership of Illuminism passed from Great Britain to the United States. Thus, Americans assumed the leadership role at the Versailles Peace Conference.

At a secret meeting of the Grand Orient of France and the International Masonic Conference in Paris in 1917, the agenda for Versailles Peace Conference was drawn up. Attending this Masonic Conference were representatives of Freemasons from Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Italy, Portugal, Serbia, Spain, and the United States. (The chief beneficiary politically of World War I was Freemasonry. Between 1918 and 1930, Freemasons controlled European politics.) Part of this agenda was the Fourteen Points and the plan for the League of Nations, which Freemasons provided President Wilson.[11] (Establishing the League of Nation and the concomitant world government was a major reason for the war.) The agenda also included the abdication of the Hohenzollerns from the German throne and starvation of the Germans (the Allies blockaded the shipment of food into Germany following the war). The goal of the starvation was to bring about a Communist revolution in Germany. The plan also sought a federation of European states and a world court.

Freemasons and other Illuminists now began working for the next world war. The world’s most sinister Illuminists assembled at the Versailles Peace Conference to draw up a treaty to ensure that another world war would soon follow.

As a result of the treaty, Germany’s army and navy were greatly reduced and Rhineland was demilitarized. France obtained Alsace and Lorraine and the coal of the Saar valley. Germany lost her overseas colonies to France and Great Britain. A large portion of east Germany was surrendered to the newly formed country of Poland. Germany was saddled with reparations that she could never repay.

The Versailles Peace Conference consisted of three tiers or circles. The outer tier was the public conference. This tier was highly visible and attended by reporters from around the world. The next tier was the secret conference of the Big Five. Here the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy, and Japan met privately and discussed instructions from their hidden masters. The inner most tier was the nightly Masonic conferences. Only a select few attended these meetings. Here all the important decisions were made.[12]

To persuade and encourage Wilson to push the United States to join the League of Nations, Illuminists provided him private gifts of a million dollars in gold and precious gems.[13] Wilson also saw himself as the president of the new world government.

In 1915 the League to Enforce Peace was founded in the United States to promote world government following the war. Former President Taft headed it. Carnegie financed it. Theodore Marburg masterminded and ran it. Its principals were Perry Belmont (representing the Rothschilds), Lincoln Filene, John Hays Hammond (a South African revolutionist), Elihu Root (J.P. Morgan’s attorney), Jacob Schiff (Kuhn, Loeb and Co.), Isaac Seligman, and Oscar Straus. Through its British branch, Marburg worked with Lord James Bryce, Sir Edward Grey, and Sir Gilbert Parker to establish a League of Nations. President Wilson, Robert Cecil, and General Smuts introduced a draft of the scheme of the League of Nations at the Peace Conference.

Several Wall Street bankers accompanied Wilson’s delegation to Paris as part of the American delegation to the peace conference. They include Bernard Baruch (banker, Wall Street manipulator, Jew, and Freemason), Thomas Lamont of J. P. Morgan Co., L. L. Strauss of Kuhn, Loeb and Co., and Paul Warburg of Kuhn, Loeb and Co. and a former member of the Federal Reserve System. (Paul Warburg's brother Max Warburg, who was head of German secret service and head of M.M. Warburg Co., was the head of the German delegation. He accepted the reparations terms on behalf of Germany.) Paul Warburg represented American banking interests, and Max Warburg represented Germany banking interest. Other members of his entourage included Secretary of State Robert Lansing and his nephews, John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles, Walter Lippman, Felix Frankfurter, and Supreme Court Justice Brandies. Baron Edmond de Rothschilds hosted the leading members of the American delegation.

Preceding Wilson to Europe was Colonel Edward House, Wilson’s alter ego and chief advisor. House was in charge of the American War Mission. Accompanying House was his son-in-law, Gordon Auchincloss, a Wall Street lawyer, a director of Chase National Bank, and second in charge of the American War Mission. Paul Cravath, a lawyer for Kuhn, Loeb and Co. was also part of the American War Mission and was third in charge.

Alfred Milner was the principal representative of Great Britain.

France’s chief representatives at the Versailles Peace Conference was Klotz, a Jew, France’s Finance Minister, and an agent of the Rothschilds (he is reported to have bribed the press for the Rothschilds). Baron Edmund de Rothschild of France was the dominating force of the Peace Conference. Klotz along with Baruch and Lord Cunliffe (Governor of the Bank of England) formed the Reparations Commission.

As economic advisor to the Versailles Peace Conference, Baruch imposed a horrendous reparation burden on Germany. (According to Lloyd George, “The protocol which was signed between the Allies and Associated Powers and Germany is the triumph of the international financiers. Agreement would never have been reached without the brusque and brutal intervention of the international bankers.”[14]) The reparation was made impossible for Germany to pay. Thus, Germany would be forced to seek political relief. The results were a ruinous inflation that destroyed the German middle class, and set the stage for Hitler’s revolutionary program The Peace Conference achieved its two primary purposes: the League of Nations and another world war.

Churchill later condemned the Unites States’ entry into World War I. If the United States had stayed out of Europe’s war, he remarked, “peace would have been made with Germany, and there would have been no collapse in Russia leading to Communism; no breakdown of government in Italy followed by Fascism; and Nazism would never have gained ascendancy in Germany.”[15] As a high degree Illuminist, he should have known one of the primary goals of the war was to turn Russia into a communist country. Another primary objective was to bring about World War II, which had not started when Churchill made this comment.

Federal Reserve System

Federal Reserve System
Thomas Allen

[Editor’s note: Footnotes in the original are omitted.]

Perhaps the most powerful tool used by Illuminists to control a government is to control that government’s credit and issuance of money and the country’s banking system. (The fifth plank of the Communist Manifesto reads, “Centralization of credit in the hands of the state by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.”) With the control of these, comes the control of the economy. (Mayer Amschel Rothschild said, “Give me control over a nation’s economy, and I care not who makes its law.”[1]) Control of the banking, credit, and monetary systems gives the Illuminists enormous influence and power over governments. (Reginald McKenna, president of Midlands Bank of England, said, “Those that create and issue the money and credit direct the policies of government and hold in their hands the destiny of the people.”[2]) They can dictate the terms upon which a government can borrow money. With this power, they can demand and ensure that the government will grant and protect their monopolistic control of the banking, credit, and monetary systems.

To gain and consolidate control and power, the Illuminists use what is often called the Babylonian monetary system. This system depends on a strong central government, which depends on a strong central bank for its continuous financing. Thus, the government grants the bank a monopoly over the money and credit system. The central bank controls the issuance of money, which for much of the twentieth century has been debt, i.e., the money that the people use represents someone’s debt. This power gives the central bank control of the economy.[3]

After the Napoleonic Wars, the Rothschilds established central banks in all the major countries of Europe. They used their power as central bankers to urge countries of Europe to undertake a massive arms buildup although Europe was living in a time of peace. By 1886 military expenditures had become so great that they were beginning to cause Europe’s economies to stagnate. Countries could not continue their arms buildup without either internal rebellion or external war. Yet, they had spent so much money on armaments that they could not finance a war. Finally, the United States offered away out of their problem.

In 1913, Woodrow Wilson became President of the United States. One of his first acts was to sign the Federal Reserve Act into law. A few months later World War I began. This law solved the problem of financing a world war.

The Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Reserve System that it established grew out of the work of a few major bankers and their political allies. In 1910 Paul Warburg of Kuhn, Loeb and Co.; Henry P. Davison, senior partner of J. P. Morgan and Co.; Charles D. Norton, president of (Morgan’s) First National Bank of New York; Frank A. Vanderlip, President of (William Rockefeller’s) National City Bank of New York; Benjamin Strong, vice-president of (Morgan’s) Bankers Trust Co.; and A. Piatt Andrew, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, met with Senator Nelson Aldrich on Jekyl Island and secretly drafted a plan for an American central bank.[4] The essence of this plan later became the Federal Reserve System.

These bankers controlled heavy industry, oil, communications, and railroads in the United States. They had the reputation of controlling the entire money and credit of the United States. “They elected Congressmen, appointed judges, and bought and sold newspapers and publishing houses whenever they need a job done.”[5]

The first attempt at creating the Federal Reserve System failed because the bill was associated with the Republican Party, which was too closely connected with Wall Street. To solve this problem, the Illuminists decided to put the Democrats in power and have them introduce a new bill. This job was made easy when Theodore Roosevelt, the Republican President whom William Taft had succeeded, decided to run on the Progressive Party ticket. Jacob Schiff had persuaded Roosevelt to run against both Wilson and Taft[6] J. P. Morgan provided Roosevelt money and manpower to run an effective campaign. Two Morgan agents, Frank Munsey and George Perkins, practically ran Roosevelt’s campaign.[7] (Rockefeller financed Wilson’s campaign. Jacob Schiff, Paul Warburg, Bernard Baruch, Henry Morgenthau, Sr., Henry Dodge of National City Bank of New York, and Thomas Ryan, all of whom were bankers, and the first four of whom were Jews, Samuel Untermyer, a wealthy corporate Jewish lawyer, and Adolph Ochs, publisher of the New York Times, also supported Wilson.[8]) Roosevelt received more press coverage than Taft and Wilson combined. Thus, Roosevelt diverted enough votes from President Taft, who was a popular President and who opposed establishing the Federal Reserve System although the Republican platform endorsed it, to give Wilson the presidency. Wilson delivered the Federal Reserve Bank. Actually, the political influence of William Jennings Bryan (the ardent foe of the big bankers, leader of the Democratic Party’s left-wing, and Wilson’s Secretary of State) is what pushed the bill through Congress.[9] The “unseen guardian angel” of the Federal Reserve Act was Colonel Edward House, who was in constant contact with Paul Warburg while the Federal Reserve Act was being prepared and steered through Congress.

(Putting a President in office was nothing new to Morgan. J.P. Morgan and Co. and Kuhn, Loeb and Co. joined in an alliance in 1901 to form the Northern Securities Co. To stop the Department of Justice from prosecuting the Northern Securities Co. as a trust until a less vulnerable system could be worked out, Morgan, Schiff, and Paul Warburg got Theodore Roosevelt elected President in 1904. The Northern Securities Co. was the consolidation of the Rothschild empire in America. In 1869, J.P. Morgan and Co. became an international agency of the Rothschilds when J.P. Morgan and Anthony Drexel concluded an agreement with N.M. Rothschild Co. that made J.P. Morgan Co. its agent.)

The Federal Reserve System achieved the three main functions of a central bank. Private individuals owned the bank, received a profit from the ownership, and controlled the issuance of money. Through the Federal Reserve System, the owning banks could use the credit of the United States government for their own profit. They issued currency (federal reserve notes) on the credit of the United States government. The country’s entire financial resources were at the command of the Illuminists through the central bank. Perhaps most important, the Federal Reserve System mortgaged the country by involving it in perpetual war. Like all central banks, the Federal Reserve System sought to control the government by controlling loans to the government. It sought to influence economic activity and manipulate foreign exchanges. To secure its monopoly, it sought to influence politicians by economic rewards in the business world when they left government.

With the initial stock offering in 1914, six New York banks bought a controlling interest in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. They were National City Bank (a Rockefeller bank), First National Bank (a Morgan bank), National Bank of Commerce (a Warburg bank), Hanover National Bank, Chase National Bank (a Rockefeller bank), Chemical Bank, and Marine National Bank of Buffalo (later Marine Midland).[10] These seven banks acquired more than 40 percent of the stock of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Some of the leading merchant banks of Great Britain controlled most of these banks. These British banks included Schroder Bank; Morgan, Grenfell and Co. (affiliated with J.P. Morgan Co.), Lazard Brothers; N.M. Rothschild; Brown Shipley Co. (affiliated with Brown Brothers, later Brown Brothers, Harriman).

The Federal Reserve System gave the international bankers control of the money and credit in the United States. (Federal reserve notes are privately issued money backed by the taxing power of the United States government to cover losses of the banks issuing the notes.) Thus, the international bankers gained control of the economy of the United States. With control of the economy, they could control the country. With control of the economy, they controlled and exaggerated the boom-bust cycle. Insiders who knew when the Federal Reserve Bank would begin expanding the money supply could buy property and shares when they were cheap before the expansion. Then they could sell just before the Federal Reserve Bank began to contract the money supply, which they would know in advance. As the economy crashed, they could again buy shares and property cheaply, often at distressed prices of bankruptcy. If their banks had financial difficulty because of loan defaults, the Federal Reserve Bank would lend them the money necessary to protect them from bankruptcy.

For the Illuminists, 1913 was a victorious year in the United States. They obtained a vast new source of revenue for the United States government with the ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment. (In 1909, Aldrich, John D. Rockefeller’s spokesman in Congress, proposed, with President Taft’s support, amending the Constitution to grant Congress the power to levy income taxes.) This Amendment gave them unrestricted power to tax incomes and estates. With unlimited power to tax incomes and inheritance, the economy could be socialized, unlimited wars fought, and foreign socialistic governments maintained in power with foreign aid. (Without the income tax, the United States’ participation in World War I was doubtful; this tax was necessary to pay for the war.) Next came the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment, which destroyed what little remained of the federal republic that survived Lincoln’s war to destroy the South and the Constitution. This Amendment removed the elections of Senators from state legislatures and required them to be elected by popular vote. Perhaps their greatest victory came at the end of the year when the Federal Reserve bill became law. Now the Illuminists had the power to create booms and busts—and thus amass enormous fortunes for themselves.
