Council on Foreign Relations

Council on Foreign Relations

To guarantee more surely their control over government, Illuminists set up organizations to train and provide Illuminists and their agents for high governmental posts and to develop plans to bring about their illuministic New World Order. The Council of Foreign Relations (CFR) in the United States and the Royal Institute of International Affairs in Great Britain serve the purpose of training and providing Illuminists for governmental offices. Through these organizations, the Illuminists control the financial and foreign polices of the United States and Great Britain Other groups, such as the Bilderberg Group, were organized to coordinate illuministic activities among governments, banks, business, academia, and the media. Groups were also organized to defend the interest of the Illuminists and to advance the cause of Illuminism.

Between 1909 and 1913, Milner help found Round Table Groups, semi-secret groups, in England; the chief British dependencies of South Africa, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand; and the United States. The Round Table Group in the United States included Frank Aydelotte (Rhodes scholar), George L. Beer, Erwin D. Canham (Rhodes scholar), Andrew Carnegie, Jerome D. Greene, Edward House, Otto Kahn, Thomas W. Lamont, Walter Lippman, J.P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Whitney Shepardson, Benjamin Strong, Paul Warburg, and William Wiseman.[1] According to Dr. Carroll Quigley, “The original purpose of the groups was to seek to federate the English-speaking world. . . .”[2]

Money for organizing these Round Table Groups came from the Rhodes Trust, Alfred and Otto Beit, Sir Abe Bailey (owner of the Transvaal mines and collaborator with Milner in starting the Boer War), and other associates and followers of Cecil Rhodes. After 1915, the Astor family became financial backers. By 1925, financial backers included Carnegie United Kingdom Trust, organizations associated with J. P. Morgan, Jr., the Rockefeller family, the Whitney family, associates of Morgan, Grenfell, and Co., associates of Lazard Brothers, and various foundations and other wealthy individuals.[3] Other financial backers of the Round Table Groups were Lord Nathaniel Mayer Rothschild, the Duke of Bradford, and Lord Iveagh.[4]

Out of the Round Table Groups came the Royal Institute of International Affairs in Great Britain and the Council on Foreign Relations in the United States. (The original plans for these two organizations were drawn up in Paris while the peace negations at the end of World War I were taking place.) These two organizations were set up as independent bodies instead of branches of a single institution to conceal that they were fronts for the Round Table Groups.

In 1919, F.D.L. Astor, Baron John Jacob Astor of Hever (later chairman of The Times and director of Hambros Bank), M.L. Astor, Sir Abe Bailey, Sir Otto Beit (trustee of the Rhode estate and director of the British South Africa Co.), Sir Julien Cahn, Lionel Curtis (colonial secretary of Transvaal), Alfred Milner, Percy Alport Molteno, and John W. Wheeler-Bennett (later General Eisenhower’s political advisor during World War II) founded the Royal Institute of International Affairs.[5] Curtis had the primary task of organizing the Royal Institute of International Affairs in Great Britain and each British dominion. The Royal Institute of International Affairs was a front organization of the Round Table Groups. Sir Abe Bailey, Sir Alfred Beit, and the Astor family were the principal financial supporters of this institute. (Later various Rothschild interests, the Rockefeller Foundation, and Carnegie Corp. became the major sources of financing.) R.W. Leonard, president of the Coniagas Mines, was its first president.

The primary goal of the Royal Institute of International Affairs was to perpetrate British power, to unite the world under British control, that is under the control of the Illuminists who control Great Britain. However, with the death of Milner in 1925, the international financiers gained control of the Royal Institute of International Affairs and the Round Table Groups. They changed the goals of these organizations to serve their purposes.

Edward Mandell House was the principal organizer of the Council on Foreign Relations, which was incorporated in 1921. Jerome Greene was House’s principal aide in organizing the Council on Foreign Relations. It was founded as a front for the American branch of the Round Table Group and for Morgan’s financial empire. (By World War II the Rockefeller financial empire had gained preeminence over Morgan in control of the Council on Foreign Relations.) Among the Morgan agents involved in organizing and running the Council on Foreign Relations were Lamont and Beer. Russell Leffingwell, one of Morgan’s partners, was its first chairman. Other Morgan men who were early members were Paul Cravath, John W. Davis, Norman Davis, and Russell Leffingwell.[6] Financial backers included Nelson Aldrich, Bernard Baruch, J.P. Morgan, Jr., John D. Rockefeller, Jacob Schiff, and Frank Vanderlip—all of whom were either international financiers or closely allied with them.[7] Among the charter members were Nelson Aldrich, Bernard Baruch, John W. Davis (J.P. Morgan Jr.’s personal attorney and a founder of the English-Speaking Union), Allen Dulles (later head of the Central Intelligence Agency), John Foster Dulles (later Secretary of State), Averell Harriman, Christian Herter (later Eisenhower’s Secretary of State), Walter Lippman (“the authentic spokesman in American journalism for the Establishment”), J.P. Morgan, Jr., Elihu Root (Theodore Roosevelt’s Secretary of State), Henry L. Stimson (later Secretary of War and a member of Skull and Bones), William Boyce Thompson (director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York), Otto Kahn, John D. Rockefeller, Jacob Schiff, and Paul Warburg (who was one of the incorporators).[8] In 1929, the Rockefellers provided the headquarters building.

The Council on Foreign Relations became a powerful force in the United States after 1927 when the Rockefeller Foundation began funding it. Later, the Carnegie foundations, German Marshall Fund, McKnight Foundation, Dillon Fund, Ford Foundation, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Starr Foundation, and Pew Charitable Trusts became significant sources of funds.[9] Major corporations also funded it. (Their financial support bought them special briefings from high ranking governmental officials on information not publicly available—thus, they gain advantage over their competitors.)

One of its primary purposes was to ensure that the United States would become part of the world governance following the next world war as part of the Illuminists’ goal of creating a one-world socialist system that included the United States (where the elite of the international financiers would have a global banking monopoly). Thus, a primary goal of the Council on Foreign Relations is to destroy the United States Constitution and the United States as an independent country. (A necessary step toward this goal was the destruction of the sovereignty and independence of the 50 States. They had to be reduced to administrative provinces of the United States government. This destruction has been achieved.) Its goal is according to Admiral Chester Ward, CFR member, “to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty and the national independence of the United States. . . . Primarily, they want the world banking monopoly from whatever power ends in the control of global government.”[10] The American Legion has condemned the Council on Foreign Relation “as being actively engaged in destroying the Constitution and sovereignty of the United States of America.”[11] The Council on Foreign Relations seeks to fulfill the illuministic dream of submerging the United States into the global state of the New World Order where the international financiers and other Illuminists rule.

When Franklin Roosevelt assumed the office of the President, he brought with him the idle rich, Communists, and members of the Council on Foreign Relations. With the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the Council on Foreign Relations began formulating the war and foreign policies of the United States. By 1942, it had captured control of the State Department. Through the Council on Foreign Relations, the Illuminists gained control of the United States government during the Roosevelt administration. They have maintained control ever since then.

Through the Council of Foreign Relations, the Illuminists have gained control of both major political parties in America and the federal government. Since its founding a majority of the presidents (Hoover, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Ford, Carter, G.H.W. Bush, and Clinton) have been CFR members. Since the 1920s, the Council on Foreign Relations has controlled the foreign policy of the United States. Since World War II, a member of the Council of Foreign Relations has nearly always held the offices of the Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and National Security Advisor, which are the four most influential offices in the United States government next to the President.[12] All but one director of the Central Intelligence Agency have been members of the Council of Foreign Relations.[13] More than 90 percent of the Kennedy administration were members of the Council of Foreign Relations.[14] In the Nixon administration, at least 110 people in top governmental positions were members of the Council of Foreign Relations. The Clinton administration had more than 100 members.

About the power of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Chicago Tribune wrote in 1950:

The members of the council are persons of much more than average influence in their community. They have used the prestige that their wealth, their social position, and their education have given them to lead their country toward bankruptcy and military debacle. They should look at their hands. There is blood on them—the dried blood of the last war and the fresh blood of the present one [the Korean War].[15]

This commentary is more true today than when it was written. (The Council on Foreign Relation wasted more than 50,000 American lives in the Vietnam War and now seems determined to waste at least that many in its War on Terrorism.)

Tax-free foundations, such as the Rockefeller, Ford, and Carnegie foundations, which members of the Council on Foreign Relations control, have supported the Council of Foreign Relations and allied organizations. Also, through the Council on Foreign Relations, Illuminists control the Federal Reserve System and, thereby, the economy of the United States. Members of the Council on Foreign Relations also control major universities and most multinational corporations.

Through the Council on Foreign Relations, Illuminists have gained control of West Point and the United States military. Commandants of West Point over recent decades have been members of the Council on Foreign Relations. Many senior commanders have been members of the Council on Foreign Relations. They include John T. Chain (Deputy Chief of Staff, Plans and Operations, U.S. Air Force), Paul F. Gorman (Commander and Chief, U. S. Southern Command), Bernard W. Rogers (Supreme Allied Commander, Europe), John W. Vessel, Jr. (Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff), John W. Wickham, Jr., (Chief of Staff, U. S. Army). With one exception, every secretary of defense since 1957 has been a member of the Council on Foreign Relations or Trilateral Commission.[16] Thus, using the Council on Foreign Relations, the Illuminists have executed Weishaup’s strategy: “First, the military academies and the military.” (In Great Britain, the Illuminists seem to rely more on Freemasonry to control the military.)

Through the Council on Foreign Relations and foundations, Illuminists control think-tanks, such as Brookings Institute, Rand Corp., Hudson Institute, and Middle East Institute. These think-tanks spew out information that influences government, public education, and public opinion. The propaganda produced by these think-tanks subtly promote socialism and globalism—hence, the New World Order. They are “little more than propaganda divisions of the Rockefeller establishment, generating tainted data.”[17]

Furthermore, the Council on Foreign Relations controls the news media. Thus, its control over the United States government is never really revealed in the establishment media—NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, etc. Not only are most chief executives of the major networks members of the Council on Foreign Relations, so are most of the broadcasters and chief reporters. (Not only do the Rockefellers control the major networks through the Council on Foreign Relations, they also control them through their banks, which own a controlling interest in them.) The Rockefellers through the Council on Foreign Relation also control the major wire services. Members of the Council on Foreign Relations control the major newspapers and magazines. Members of the Council on Foreign Relations even control the major publishers. Furthermore, through interlocking directors, the international bankers and multinational corporations control the major news media. Most of the newspapers not directly controlled by Illuminists are controlled through advertising money. If a newspaper prints a story that the Illuminists do not want printed, the paper loses advertising revenue. Thus, the media “do not simply report the news, they actively manage information, censor information, and manipulate images in order to promote those cause they espouse.”[18] The illuministic controlled media often select and report news that support the positions of Illuminists or that undermine contrary positions. As Walter Lippman, a founder of the Council on Foreign Relations, wrote, “News and the truth are not the same thing. . . .”[19] So much for an independent press.

Some of communication executives, journalists, and correspondents who are (or were) members of the Council on Foreign Relations are Steward Alsop (Newsweek), William Atwood (Look), Frederick Beebe (Newsweek), Michael Bloomberg (Bloomberg Financial Markets), David Brinkley (NBC), Tom Brokaw (NBC), William F. Buckley, Jr. (National Review), John Chancellor (NBC), Robert Christopher (Newsweek), Norman Cousins (Saturday Review), John Cowles (Look, Harper’s, Harper and Row, Minneapolis Tribune, Des Moines Register), Gardner Cowles (Look, Harper’s, Harper and Row, Cowles Communications), Orvil E. Dryfoos (New York Times), Michael Eisner (Disney/ABC, a Jew), Osborne Elliot (Newsweek), Georgie Anne Geyer (syndicated columnist), Katharine Graham (Washington Post, Newsweek, Associated Press), Philip Graham (Newsweek), George V. Grune (Reader’s Digest), Karen Elliott House (Wall Street Journal), Walter Isaacson (CNN News Group and a Rhodes Scholar), Peter Kann (Dow Jones and Co.), Ted Koppel (ABC), Jim Lehrer (PBS), Irving R. Levine (NBC), Sol Linowitz (Time, Inc.), Richard Lowry (National Review), Henry Luce (Time, Inc., Life, Time, Fortune, Little, Brown and Co.), Jason McManus (Time, Rhodes Scholar), Bill Moyers (CBS), Malcolm Muir (Newsweek), Rupert Murdoch (News Corp.), Frank Murphy (Los Angeles Times), Thomas Murphy (ABC), Michael O’Neill (CBS), William S. Paley (CBS and a Jew), Richard D. Parsons (AOL Time Warner), Dan Rather (CBS), James Reston (New York Times), A.M. Rosenthal (New York Times), David Sarnoff (NBC and a Jew), Dianne Sawyer (ABC), Tony Snow (Fox News), Frank Stanton (CBS), Donna Shalala (Gannett News Service), Arthur Hays Sulzberger (New York Times), Arthur Ochs Sulzberger (New York Times), Arthur Taylor (CBS), Laurence A. Tisch (CBS), Barbara Walters (ABC), John F. Welch, Jr. (NBC), and George Will (Washington Post, Newsweek).

Through their control of movies, television, radio, and newspapers and other print media, the Illuminists have achieved what Edward Bernays, “the Father of Public Opinion,” wrote about in 1928: “Those who manipulate the organized habits and opinions of the masses constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of the country. . . .”[20] Thus, the Illuminists are the invisible government of the Western World, if not the planet, and are truly the ruling power.

The international banks (Kuhn, Loeb and Co.; Lazard Freres, which is directly afflicted with the Rothschilds ; Dillon, Reed; Lehman Brothers; Goldman, Sachs; Brown Brothers, Harriman; J.P. Morgan Chase and Co.; First National City Bank; Chemical Bank; and Manufacture Hanover Trust Bank) are represented on the Council of Foreign Relations. Most major multinational corporations are also represented on the Council on Foreign Relations, i.e., members of the Council on Foreign Relations control the major multinational corporations.

The ultimate goal of the Council on Foreign Relations is to destroy the sovereignty and independence of the United States and to merge them into the world government of the New World Order. To accomplish this goal, it must suppress racial, ethnic, and national loyalty.

According to Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., a CFR member, the Council on Foreign Relations is among the front groups of the power elite, the Illuminists. Using the Council on Foreign Relations, the Illuminists have brought about a concealed revolution in the United States. Because this revolution lacked the violence of the French Revolution or the Bolshevik Revolution, most Americans have been unaware of it. The United States government was changed from a constitutional federal republic ruled by the people to a democratic fascist state ruled by the Illuminists. The trappings of the Constitution remain as there is still the President, Congress elected by the people, and the Supreme Court, and State governments elected by the people. However, the soul of the United States Constitution has been gutted. What now passes for the constitutional federal republic today is completely alien to what the founding fathers established.

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.
