- Morgan’s First National Bank of New York, merged with National City Bank in 1955, two of the largest purchasers of Federal
- Reserve Bank of New York stock in 1914. Number 3, is Chase Manhattan, New York, with assets of $80.9 billion. This is Chase and
- Bank of Manhattan merged, the Rockefeller and Kuhn Loeb group, also purchasers of Federal Reserve Bank of New York stock in
- 1914. Number 4 is Manufacturers Hanover of New York $64 billion, also purchaser of Federal Reserve Bank of New York stock in
- 1914. Number 5 is J.P. Morgan Company of New York, $58.6 billion in assets and holder of considerable Federal Reserve Bank stock.
- Number 6 is Chemical Bank of New York, $48.3 billion also purchaser of Federal Reserve stock in 1914. And Number 11, First
- Chicago Corporation, the First National Bank of Chicago which was principal correspondent of the Morgan-Baker bank in New
- York, and which furnished the first two presidents of the Federal Advisory Council.
- The direct line which leads from the participants in the Jekyll Island Conference of 1910 to the present day is illustrated by a
- passage from "A Primer on Money", Committee on Banking and Currency, U.S. House of Representatives, 88th Congress, 2d
- session, August 5, 1964, p. 75:
- "The practical effect of requiring all purchases to be made through the open market is to take
- money from the taxpayer and give it to the dealers. It forces the Government to pay a toll for
- borrowing money. There are six ‘bank’ dealers: First National City Bank of New York; Chemical
- Crop. Exchange Bank, New York, Morgan Guaranty Trust Co., New York, Bankers Trust of New York, First
- National Bank of Chicago, and Continental Illinois Bank of Chicago."
- Thus the banks which receive a "toll" on all money borrowed by the Government of the United States are the same banks which
- planned the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. There is ample evidence demonstrating the present preeminence of the same banks which
- set up the Federal Reserve System in 1914. For instance, Warren Brookes writes on the editorial page of The Washington Post, June
- 6, 1983:
- "Citicorp (National City Bank and First National Bank of New York, merged in 1955) just
- recorded an 18.6% return on equity, J.P. Morgan, 17%, Chemical Bank and Bankers Trust, nearly 16%, an
- exceptional rate of return."
- These are the banks which bought the first issue of Federal Reserve Bank stock in 1914, and which owned the controlling interest in
- the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which sets the interest rate and is the bank for all open market operations.
- These banks also profit steadily from the otherwise inexplicable fluctuations in monetary growth and interest rates. Brookes further
- comments on "actual monetary growth rates alternately gyrating from 0 to 17% in successive six month periods for three recession-
- wracked years. The two measures of money growth most admired by Milton Friedman M2 and M3,
- 174
- have actually shown little change on a year to year basis in the 1972-82 period."
- Thus we have money growth rates gyrating from 0 to 17% but no actual year to year changes, which raises the question of why we
- cannot have stability of monetary growth throughout the year. The answer is that the big profits are made by these gyrations, and
- the next question is, who sets in motion these gyrations? The answer is "the London Connection".
- To draw attention from the continued control of the bankers and their heirs, who obtained the government monopoly of the nation’s
- money and credit in 1913, the paid propagandists of the controlled media monopoly and academia are constantly trotting forth new
- and more exotic theories of economics. Thus James Burnham, one of the National Review propagandists, won fame with a ridiculous
- theory of "the managers". He postulated that the old arbiters of wealth, the J.P. Morgans, the Warburgs and the Rothschilds had, by
- 1950, disappeared from the scene, being replaced by a new class of "managers". This theory, which had no foundation in fact, served
- to obscure the fact that the same people still controlled the monetary system of the world. The "managers" were just that, executives
- like Volcker who were front men, paid employees who would continue to receive their paychecks only as long as they carried out their
- employers’ instructions. Burnham remains a well-paid propagandist at the National Review, which many prominent leaders,
- including President Reagan, believe to be a "conservative" publication.
- From 1914 to 1982, a period in which many thousands of American banks went bankrupt, the original purchasers of Federal Reserve
- Bank stock have not only survived but they have consolidated their power. And what of "the London Connection"? Does it still exist,
- and is it still dictating the economic destiny of the United States? The Washington Post, May 19, 1983, carried a story datelined
- Nairobi, Kenya, noting the meeting of the African Development Bank. "The British merchant bank, Morgan Grenfell and a
- syndicate of the United States, Kuhn Loeb, Lehman Brothers International, the French Lazard Freres and Britain’s Warburg are
- discreetly acting as financial advisors to about ten debt-plagued African states."
- There are the same names we encountered in 1914, still managing the finances of the world, with profits for themselves but with
- disastrous results for everyone else. Perhaps we can look for relief to the present Administration of President Reagan. Unfortunately,
- before reaching him we have to run the gamut of the long list of his principal staff, composed of men from J. Henry Schroder, Brown
- Brothers Harriman, and other leading components of "The London Connection".
- Lopez Portillo, President of Mexico, in addressing the Mexican National Congress of Mexico in September, 1982, called the world
- credit boom of the past decade a financial pestilence akin to the Black Death which swept
- 175
- Europe in the fourteenth century. "As in mediaeval times, it flattens country after country. It is transmitted by rats and it yields
- unemployment and misery, industrial bankruptcy and enrichment by speculation. The remedy prescribed by faith healers is forced
- inactivity and depriving the patient of food."
- Forbes Magazine stated October 11, 1982, "The world gasps for liquidity, not because the supply of money has contracted but
- because too much of it now goes to pay off old debts rather than fund new productive investments."
- The policy of high interest rates and tight money has been disastrous for the United States. In early 1983, a slight easing of money
- and credit promises some relief, but as long as the Federal Reserve system and its unseen manipulators continue their control of the
- money supply, we can expect more problems. The Nation on December 11, 1982, in commenting on economic problems, stated, "The
- blame for all this lies at the door of the Federal Reserve System working as usual on behalf of the international banking system."
- The evidence of how the Federal Reserve System works on behalf of the international banking system is graphically illustrated by a
- series of charts drawn up by the staff of the Committee on Banking, Currency and Housing of the House of Representatives, 94th
- Congress, 2d session, August, 1976, "FEDERAL RESERVE DIRECTORS: A STUDY OF CORPORATE AND BANKING
- INFLUENCE".* We present as our Chart V page 49 of this study, showing the interlocking directorates of David Rockefeller. As our
- Chart VI we reproduce page 55 of this study, showing the interlocking directorates of Frank R. Milliken, one of the Class C
- Directors** of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. In this chart are all the main personages in our story of the Jekyll Island
- conference: Citibank, J.P. Morgan and Company, Kuhn Loeb and Company, and many related firms. As Chart VII we reproduce
- page 53 of this study, showing the interlocking directorates of another Class C Director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
- Alan Pifer. As President of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, he interlocks with J. Henry Schroder Trust Company, J. Henry
- Schroder Banking Corporation, Rockefeller Center, Inc., Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, Equitable Life Assurance Society (J.P.
- Morgan), and others. Thus an August, 1976 study from the House Committee on Banking, Currency and Housing, brings before us
- all of our main cast of personages, functioning today just as they did in 1914.
- __________________________
- * Due to space limitations, only five of the seventy-five charts in the study, all of which show the connections between prominent,
- powerful individuals with control in the Federal Reserve System have been selected to illustrate the connections between officers and
- directors of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks in 1976 and the firms listed in this book.
- ** "The three Class C Directors are appointed by the Board of Governors as representatives of the public interest as a whole." p. 34,
- Congressional Study, 1976.
- 176
- This 120 page Congressional study details public policy functions of the Federal Reserve District Banks, how directors are selected,
- who is selected, the public relations lobbying factor, bank domination and bank examination, and corporate interlocks with Reserve
- banks. Charts were used to illustrate Class A, Class B, and Class C directorships of each district bank. For each branch bank a chart
- was designed giving information regarding bank appointed directors and those appointed by the Board of Governors of the Federal
- Reserve System.
- In his Foreword to the study, Chairman Henry S. Reuss, (D-Wis) wrote:
- "This Committee has observed for many years the influence of private interests over the
- essentially public responsibilities of the Federal Reserve System.
- As the study makes clear, it is difficult to imagine a more narrowly based board of directors for a
- public agency than has been gathered together for the twelve banks of the Federal Reserve
- System.
- Only two segments of American society--banking and big business--have any substantial
- representation on the boards, and often even these become merged through interlocking
- directorates . . . . Small farmers are absent. Small business is barely visible. No women appear on
- the district boards and only six among the branches. Systemwide--including district and branch
- boards--only thirteen members from minority groups appear.
- The study raises a substantial question about the Federal Reserve’s oft-repeated claim of
- "independence". One might ask, independent from what? Surely not banking or big business, if
- we are to judge from the massive interlocks revealed by this analysis of the district boards.
- The big business and banking dominance of the Federal Reserve System cited in this report can be traced, in
- part, to the original Federal Reserve Act, which gave member commercial banks the
- right to select two-thirds of the directors of each district bank. But the Board of Governors in
- Washington must share the responsibility for this imbalance. They appoint the so-called "public"
- members of the boards of each district bank, appointments which have largely reflected the same
- narrow interests of the bank-elected members . . . . Until we have basic reforms, the Federal
- Reserve System will be handicapped in carrying out its public responsibilities as an economic
- stabilization and bank regulatory agency. The System’s mandate is too essential to the nation’s
- welfare to leave so much of the machinery under the control of narrow private interests.
- Concentration of economic and financial power in the United States has gone too far."
- In a section of the text entitled "The Club System", the Committee noted:
- "This ‘club’ approach leads the Federal Reserve to consistently dip into the same pools--the
- same companies, the same universities, the same bank holding companies--to fill directorships."
- This Congressional study concludes as follows:
- 177
- "Many of the companies on these tables, as mentioned earlier, have multiple interlocks to the Federal Reserve System. First Bank
- Systems; Southeast Banking Corporation; Federated Department Stores; Westinghouse Electric Corporation; Proctor and Gamble;
- Alcoa; Honeywell, Inc.; Kennecott Copper; Owens-Corning Fiberglass; all have two or more director ties to district or branch
- banks.
- In Summary, the Federal Reserve directors are apparently representatives of a small elite group which dominates much of the
- economic life of this nation." END OF CONGRESSIONAL REPORT.

- ADDENDUM
- As of 11:05 Tuesday, July 26, 1983, the list of member banks holding Federal Reserve Bank of New York stock includes twenty-seven
- New York City banks. Listed below are the number of shares held by ten of these banks, amounting to 66% of the total outstanding
- number of shares, namely 7,005,700:
- Shares Percent
- Bankers Trust Company 438,831 ( 6%)
- Bank of New York 141,482 ( 2%)
- Chase Manhattan Bank 1,011,862 (14%)
- Chemical Bank 544,962 ( 8%)
- Citibank 1,090,813 (15%)
- European American Bank & Trust 127,800 ( 2%)
- J. Henry Schroder Bank & Trust 37,493 ( .5%)
- Manufacturers Hanover 509,852 ( 7%)
- Morgan Guaranty Trust 655,443 ( 9%)
- National Bank of North America 105,600 ( 2%)
- The tremendous number of shares held today as against the original purchases in 1914 is brought about by Section 5 of the original
- Federal Reserve Act which called for a member bank to buy and hold stock in the district Federal Reserve Bank equal to 6% of its
- capital and surplus.
- Currently, shares held by five of the above named banks comprise 53% of the total Federal Reserve Bank of New York stock. An
- examination of the major stockholders of the New York City banks shows clearly that a few families, related by blood marriage, or
- business interests, still control the New York City banks which, in turn, hold the controlling stock of the Federal Reserve Bank of
- New York.
- It is notable that three of the banks holding Federal Reserve Bank of New York stock, in the amount of 270,893 shares, are
- subsidiaries of foreign banks. J. Henry Schroder Bank and Trust is listed by Standard and Poors as a subsidiary of Schroders Ltd. of
- London. The National Bank of North America is a subsidiary of the National Westminster Bank, one of London’s "Big Five".
- European American Bank is a subsidiary of the European American Bank, Bahamas, LTD. It is interesting to note that the directors
- of the European American Bank & Trust include Milton F. Rosenthal, president and Chief Operating Officer of the international
- gold company,
- 179
- Engelhard Minerals and Chemical; Hamilton F. Potter, a partner in Sullivan and Cromwell (J. Henry Schroder Bank & Trust
- attorneys); Edward H. Tuck, partner of Shearman and Sterling (Citibank’s attorneys); F.H. Ulrich and Hans Liebkutsch, managing
- directors of the giant Midland Bank of London, one of the "Big Five"; and Roger Alloo, Paul-Emmanuel Janssen, and Maurice
- Laure of the Societe Generale de Banque (Brussels, Belgium). [See Chart III]
- This information, derived from the latest issue of the tabulation available from the Board of Governors, Federal Reserve System, is
- cited as current evidence which indicates that the controlling stock in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which sets the rate and
- scale of operations for the entire Federal Reserve System is heavily influenced by banks directly controlled by "The London
- Connection", that is, the Rothschild-controlled Bank of England. [See Chart I]
- 180
- APPENDIX I
- E.C. Knuth, in The Empire of the City, priv. printed, 1946, p. 27, refers to "the Bank of England, the full partner of the American
- Administration in the conduct of the financial affairs of all the world" and cites the Encyclopaedia Americana, 1943 edition.
- Barron cites Lord Swaythling, (April 8, 1923), "Lord Swaythling said, ‘Exchange can only be run from London. This is the center in
- Exchange.’" (They Told Barron, by Clarence W. Barron, founder of Baron’s Weekly, Harpers, New York, 1930, p. 27.)
- Exchange, in the international financial world, means the transactions in money or securities, or simply, the "exchange" of the values
- of these securities. It is necessary that this "exchange" take place where the values can be established, and this place is the "City" in
- London.
- London was established as the primary center of exchange because of the "Consols" of the Bank of England, bonds which could
- never be redeemed, but which paid a stable rate of return. Henry Clews writes, in The Wall Street View, Silver Burdett Co. 1900, p.
- 255, "The Consolidated Act of 1757 consolidated the debts of the nation of England at 3%, which were kept in an account at the
- Bank of England and is the great bulwark of its deposits." By ostentatiously "dumping" "Consols" on the London Exchange after
- the Battle of Waterloo, in a pretended panic, Nathan Meyer Rothschild then secretly bought up the Consols sold in the panic by
- other holders at a low rate, and became the largest holder of Consols, and thus won control of the Bank of England in 1815.
- 12% Dividends
- Although a Labor government nationalized the Bank of England in 1946, The Great Soviet Encyclopaedia points out (vol. I, p. 490c)
- that the Bank of England continues to pay 12% dividends per annum, just as it had done prior to the nationalization. The
- "Governor" is appointed by the government, in a situation similar to that in the United States, where the Governors of the Federal
- Reserve System are appointed by the President. However, as is pointed out in the Encyclopaedia Americana v. 13, p. 272, "In
- practice, the governors of the Bank of England have not hesitated to criticize and bring pressure on the government in public."
- Bank Rate
- The interest rate set by the Bank of England is known as "the Bank rate", and it is a controlling factor in interest rates throughout
- the world,
- 181
- although rates in other countries may be higher or lower than this "Bank rate". The Bank of England manages the government debt,
- and is called upon to arbitrate in political affairs. It served as the intermediary with the Iran revolutionaries in negotiating for the
- return of the American hostages--a recent example.
- We should not be surprised that the present Governor of the Bank of England, Sir Gordon Richardson is a prominent international
- financial figure, who appears elsewhere in these pages because of his connection with the J. Henry Schroder @Wagg in London from
- 1962 to 1972, when he became Governor of the Bank of England. He was also director of J. Henry Schroder Co., New York, and
- Schroder Banking Corp., New York. He also serves as director of Rolls Royce and Lloyd’s Bank. Although he resides in London, he
- maintains a home in New York, and is listed in the current Manhattan directory simply as "G. Richardson, 45 Sutton Place S.",
- although a prior listing showed him at 4 Sutton Place. Sutton Place was developed as a fashionable address for the international set
- by Bessie Marbury, whom we earlier cited for her connection with the Morgan family and the Roosevelts.
- The present directors of the Bank of England (1982) include Leopold de Rothschild of N.M. Rothschild & Sons, Sir Robert Clark,
- chairman of Hill Samuel Bank, the most influential bank after Rothschilds, John Clay, of Hambros Bank, and David Scholey, of
- Warburg Bank, and joint chairman of S.C. Warburg Co.
- Anthony Sampson writes, in "The Changing Anatomy of Britain", Random House, New York, 1982, p. 279, "The more cosmopolitan
- banks with foreign experts and directors, such as Warburgs, Montagus, Rothschilds and Kleinworts, had also discovered a huge new
- source of profits in the market for Eurodollars which began in the late fifties and multiplied through the 60s . . . British bankers
- themselves controlled relatively small funds, but they knew how to make money out of other people’s money."
- The Eurodollar market, a new development in "created money" is monopolized by the above firms.
- Eurodollar Empire
- "Today, together with allies on the island of Manhattan (Britain’s most important piece of real estate), the British Empire controls
- the entire $1.5 trillion Eurodollar financial market, another $300-$500 billion in the Cayman Islands, Bahamas, and $50-$100 billion
- in the Hong-Kong Singapore "Asia-dollar market". . . . Consider the $1.5 trillion Eurodollar market an "outlaw" market in the U.S.
- dollars over which this nation has no control. Here control and profits are overwhelmingly in the hands of London banks, who set the
- terms of lending and the interest rate on this mass of American dollars in relation to the London Interbank Borrowing
- 182
- Rate (LIBOR) . . . U.S. banks like Citibank (New York City), on whose board of directors sits the powerful British financier, Lord
- Aldington, collaborate openly in this market. At the same time, British banks including the known central bank for the world’s drug
- trade, the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, pour into America to devour U.S. banks. In 1978 the Hongshang (Ed.--Hongkong and
- Shanghai Bank) took over New York’s Marine Midland Bank, the state’s 11th largest commercial bank. . . The British also control
- the creation of American dollars. While Federal Reserve Board Chairman Paul Volcker tightens credit against the domestic
- economy, British-controlled banks in the Cayman Islands (such as the European American Bank--Ed.) a British possession 200 miles
- off Florida, and in the Bermudas and a dozen other "free banking" computer terminals create hundreds of billions of American
- dollars. How is this done? There are no reserve ratios or other restrictions on the creation of dollar-denominated credits in the
- Empire’s "free enterprise" banking. A $1 million bona fide credit coming from the United States can be turned into $20 to $100
- million in dollar-denominated credits as it passes through the British system without reserve ratios."*
- Not only the financial power, but also the legal power, has remained seated in Britain. The Washington Post commented on June 18,
- 1983 that after the American Revolution, all the old laws remained in effect in the new United States: Some of these laws of "English
- common law" dated back to 1278, long before America was discovered.
- This enormous financial power of "the City" is revealed in many areas. Dean Acheson states, in "Present at the Creation", 1969,
- W.W. Norton, New York, p. 779, "We stayed at the embassy residence, the old J.P. Morgan mansion, 14 Prince’s Gate, facing Hyde
- Park." How many Americans are aware that the U.S. Embassy residence in London is the J.P. Morgan home, or that Dean Acheson,
- a former Morgan employee, described himself as Secretary of State on p. 505, "My own attitude had long been, and was known to
- have been, pro-British." No one commented on an American Secretary of State’s open bias in favor of England.
- The Federal Reserve "created" money is not used only for financial matters; this money is also used to maintain the bankers’ control
- of every aspect of political, economic and social life. It is used to bankroll the enormous expenditures of political candidates, the
- swollen budgets of universities, the huge outlays required to start newspapers or magazines, and a vast array of foundations, "think-
- tanks" and other instruments of mind control.
- Psychological Warfare
- Few Americans know that almost every development in psychology in the United States in the past sixty-five years has been directed
- by the Bureau of Psychological Warfare of the British Army. A short time ago,
- __________________________
- * Harpers Magazine, Feb. 1980
- 183
- the present writer learned a new name, The Tavistock Institute of London, also known as the Tavistock Institute of Human
- Relations. "Human relations" covers every aspect of human behavior, and it is the modest goal of the Tavistock Institute to obtain
- and exercise control over every aspect of human behavior of American citizens.
- Because of the intensive artillery barrages of World War I, many soldiers were permanently impaired by shell shock. In 1921, the
- Marquees of Tavistock, 11th Duke of Bedford, gave a building to a group which planned to conduct rehabilitation programs for shell
- shocked British soldiers. The group took the name of "Tavistock Institute" after its benefactor. The General Staff of the British
- Army decided it was crucial that they determine the breaking point of the soldier under combat conditions. The Tavistock Institute
- was taken over by Sir John Rawlings Reese, head of the British Army Psychological Warfare Bureau. A cadre of highly trained
- specialists in psychological warfare was built up in total secrecy. In fifty years, the name "Tavistock Institute’ appears only twice in
- the Index of the New York Times, yet this group, according to LaRouche and other authorities, organized and trained the entire staffs
- of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the Strategic Bombing Survey, Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Expeditionary Forces,
- and other key American military groups during World War II. During World War II, the Tavistock Institute combined with the
- medical sciences division of the Rockefeller Foundation for esoteric experiments with mind-altering drugs. The present drug culture
- of the United States is traced in its entirety to this Institute, which supervised the Central Intelligence Agency’s training programs.
- The "LSD counter culture" originated when Sandoz A.G., a Swiss pharmaceutical house owned by S.G. Warburg & Co., developed
- a new drug from lysergic acid, called LSD. James Paul Warburg (son of Paul Warburg who had written the Federal Reserve Act in
- 1910), financed a subsidiary of the Tavistock Institute in the United States called the Institute for Policy Studies, whose director,
- Marcus Raskin, was appointed to the National Security Council. James Paul Warburg set up a CIA program to experiment with
- LSD on CIA agents, some of whom later committed suicide. This program, MK-Ultra, supervised by Dr. Gottlieb, resulted in huge
- lawsuits against the United States Government by the families of the victims.
- The Institute for Policy Studies set up a campus subsidiary, Students for Democratic Society (SDS), devoted to drugs and revolution.
- Rather than finance SDS himself, Warburg used CIA funds, some twenty million dollars, to promote the campus riots of the 1960s.
- The English Tavistock Institute has not restricted its activities to left-wing groups, but has also directed the programs of such
- supposedly "conservative" American think tanks as the Herbert Hoover Institute at Stanford University, Heritage Foundation,
- Wharton, Hudson, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Rand. The "sensitivity train-
- 184
- ing" and "sexual encounter" programs of the most radical California groups such as Esalen Institute and its many imitators were all
- developed and implemented by Tavistock Institute psychologists.
- One of the rare items concerning the Tavistock Institute appears in Business Week, Oct. 26, 1963, with a photograph of its building in
- the most expensive medical offices area of London. The story mentions "the Freudian bias" of the Institute, and comments that it is
- amply financed by British blue-chip corporations, including Unilever, British Petroleum, and Baldwin Steel. According to Business
- Week, the psychological testing programs and group relations training programs of the Institute were implemented in the United
- States by the University of Michigan and the University of California, which are hotbeds of radicalism and the drug network.
- It was the Marquees of Tavistock, 12th Duke of Bedford, whom Rudolf Hess flew to England to contact about ending World War II.
- Tavistock was said to be worth $40 million in 1942. In 1945, his wife committed suicide by taking an overdose of pills.

- and head of the Democratic Party.
- ALFRED OWEN CROZIER (1863-1939)
- A prominent attorney in Grand Rapids, Cincinnati, and New York, Crozier wrote eight books on legal and monetary problems,
- focussing on his opposition to the supplanting of Constitutional money by the corporation currency printed by private firms for their
- profit.
- CLARENCE DILLON (1882-1979)
- Born in San Antonio, Texas, son of Samuel Dillon and Bertha Lapowitz. Harvard, 1905. Married Anne Douglass of Milwaukee. His
- son, C. Douglas Dillon (later Secretary of the Treasury, 1961-65) was born in Geneva, Switzerland in 1909 while they were abroad.
- Dillon met William A. Read, founder of the Wall Street bond broker William A. Read and Company, through introduction by
- Harvard classmate William A. Phillips in 1912 and Dillon joined Read’s Chicago office in that year. He moved to New York in 1914.
- Read died in 1916, and Dillon bought a majority interest in the firm. During World War 1, Bernard Baruch, chairman of the War
- Industries Board, (known as the Czar of American industry) asked Dillon to be assistant chairman of the War Industries Board. In
- 1920, William A. Read & Company name was changed to Dillon, Read & Company. Dillon was director of American Foreign
- Securities Corporation, which he had set up in 1915 to finance the French Government’s purchases of munitions in the United
- States. His righthand man at Dillon Read, James Forrestal, became Secretary of the Navy, later Secretary of Defense, and died under
- mysterious circumstances at a Federal hospital. In 1957, Fortune Magazine listed Dillon as one of the richest men in the United
- States, with a fortune then estimated to be from $150 to $200 million.
- ALAN GREENSPAN (1926- )
- Appointed by President Reagan to succeed Paul Volcker as Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in
- 1987. Greenspan had succeeded Herbert Stein as chairman of the President’s Council of Economic
- 187
- Advisors in 1974. He was the protégé of former chairman of the Board of Governors, Arthur Burns of Austria (Bernstein). Burns was
- a monetarist representing the Rothschild’s Viennese School of Economics, which manifested its influence in England through the
- Royal Colonial Society, a front for Rothschilds and other English bankers who stashed their profits from the world drug trade in the
- Hong Kong Shanghai Bank. The staff economist for the Royal Colonial Society was Alfred Marshall, inventor of the monetarist
- theory, who, as head of the Oxford Group, became the patron of Wesley Clair Mitchell, who founded the National Bureau of
- Economic Research for the Rockefellers in the United States. Mitchell, in turn, became the patron of Arthur Burns and Milton
- Friedman, whose theories are now the power techniques of Greenspan at the Federal Reserve Board. Greenspan is also the protégé
- of Ayn Rand, a weirdo who interposed her sexual affairs with guttural commands to be selfish. Rand was also the patron of CIA
- propagandist William Buckeley and the National Review. Greenspan was director of major Wall Street firms such as J.P. Morgan
- Co., Morgan Guaranty Trust (the American bank for the Soviets after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917), Brookings Institution,
- Bowery Savings Bank, the Dreyfus Fund, General Foods, and Time, Inc. Greenspan’s most impressive achievement was as chairman
- of the National Commission on Social Security from 1981-1983. He juggled figures to convince the public that Social Security was
- bankrupt, when in fact it had an enormous surplus. These figures were then used to fasten onto American workers a huge increase in
- Social Security withholding tax, which invoked David Ricardo’s economic dictum of the iron law of wages, that workers could only
- be paid a subsistence wage, and any funds beyond that must be extorted from them forcibly by tax increases. As a partner of J.P.
- Morgan Co. since 1977, Greenspan represented the unbroken line of control of the Federal Reserve System by the firms represented
- at the secret meeting on Jekyll Island in 1910, where Henry P. Davison, righthand man of J.P. Morgan, was a key figure in the
- drafting of the Federal Reserve Act. Within days of taking over as chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, Greenspan immediately

- Questions and Answers
- While lecturing in many countries, and appearing on radio and television programs as a guest, the author is frequently asked
- questions about the Federal Reserve System. The most frequently asked questions and the answers are as follows:
- Q: What is the Federal Reserve System?
- A: The Federal Reserve System is not Federal; it has no reserves; and it is not a system, but rather, a criminal syndicate. It is the
- product of criminal syndicalist activity of an international consortium of dynastic families comprising what the author terms "The
- World Order" (see "THE WORLD ORDER" and "THE CURSE OF CANAAN", both by Eustace Mullins). The Federal Reserve
- system is a central bank operating in the United States. Although the student will find no such definition of a central bank in the
- textbooks of any university, the author has defined a central bank as follows: It is the dominant financial power of the country which
- harbors it. It is entirely private-owned, although it seeks to give the appearance of a governmental institution. It has the right to
- print and issue money, the traditional prerogative of monarchs. It is set up to provide financing for wars. It functions as a money
- monopoly having total power over all the money and credit of the people.
- Q: When Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act on December 23, 1913, did the Congressmen know that they were creating a
- central bank?
- A: The members of the 63rd Congress had no knowledge of a central bank or of its monopolistic operations. Many of those who
- voted for the bill were duped; others were bribed; others were intimidated. The preface to the Federal Reserve Act reads "An Act to
- provide for the establishment of Federal reserve banks, to furnish an elastic currency, to afford means of rediscounting commercial
- papers, to establish a more effective supervision of banking in the United States, and for other purposes." The unspecified "other
- purposes" were to give international conspirators a monopoly of all the money and credit of the people of the United States; to
- finance World War I through this new central bank, to place American workers at the mercy of the Federal Reserve system’s
- collection agency, the Internal Revenue Service, and to allow the monopolists to seize the assets of their competitors and put them
- out of business.
- Q: Is the Federal Reserve system a government agency?
- A: Even the present chairman of the House Banking Committee claims that the Federal Reserve is a government agency, and that it
- is not privately owned. The fact is that the government has never owned a single share of Federal Reserve Bank stock. This charade
- stems from the fact that the President of the United States appoints the Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, who are then
- confirmed by the Senate. The secret author of the Act, banker Paul Warburg, a representative of the Rothschild bank, coined the
- name "Federal" from thin air for the Act, which he wrote to achieve two of his pet aspirations, an "elastic currency", read (rubber
- check), and to facilitate trading in acceptances, international trade credits. Warburg was founder and president of the International
- Acceptance Corporation, and made billions in profits by trading in this commercial paper. Sec. 7 of the Federal Reserve Act
- provides "Federal reserve banks, including the capital and surplus therein, and income derived therefrom, shall be exempt from
- Federal, state and local taxation, except taxes on real estate." Government buildings do not pay real estate tax.
- Q: Are our dollar bills, which carry the label "Federal Reserve notes" government money?
- A: Federal Reserve notes are actually promissory notes, promises to pay, rather than what we traditionally consider money. They are
- interest bearing notes issued against interest bearing government bonds, paper issued with nothing but paper backing, which is
- known as fiat money, because it has only the fiat of the issuer to guarantee these notes. The Federal Reserve Act authorizes the
- issuance of these notes "for the purposes of making advances to Federal reserve banks... The said notes shall be obligations of the
- United States. They shall be redeemed in gold on demand at the Treasury Department of the United States in the District of
- Columbia." Tourists visiting the Bureau of Printing and Engraving on the Mall in Washington, D.C. view the printing of Federal
- Reserve notes at this governmental agency on contract from the Federal Reserve System for the nominal sum of .00260 each in units
- of 1,000, at the same price regardless of the denomination. These notes, printed for a private bank, then become liabilities and
- obligations of the United States government and are added to our present $4 trillion debt. The government had no debt when the
- Federal Reserve Act was passed in 1913.
- Q: Who owns the stock of the Federal Reserve Banks?
- A: The dynastic families of the ruling World Order, internationalists who are loyal to no race, religion, or nation. They are families
- such as the Rothschilds, the Warburgs, the Schiffs, the Rockefellers, the Harrimans, the Morgans and others known as the elite, or
- "the big rich".
- Q: Can I buy this stock?
- A: No. The Federal Reserve Act stipulates that the stock of the Federal Reserve Banks cannot be bought or sold on any stock
- exchange. It is passed on by inheritance as the fortune of the "big rich". Almost half of the owners of Federal Reserve Bank stock
- are not Americans.
- Q: Is the Internal Revenue Service a governmental agency?
- A: Although listed as part of the Treasury Department, the IRS is actually a private collection agency for the Federal Reserve
- System. It originated as the Black Hand in mediaeval Italy, collectors of debt by force and extortion for the ruling Italian mob
- families. All personal income taxes collected by the IRS are required by law to be deposited in the nearest Federal Reserve Bank,
- under Sec. 15 of the Federal Reserve Act, "The moneys held in the general fund of the Treasury may be ....deposited in Federal
- reserve banks, which banks, when required by the Secretary of the Treasury, shall act as fiscal agents of the United States."
- Q: Does the Federal Reserve Board control the daily price and quantity of money?
- A: The Federal Reserve Board of Governors, meeting in private as the Federal Open Market Committee with presidents of the
- Federal Reserve Banks, controls all economic activity throughout the United States by issuing orders to buy government bonds on
- the open market, creating money out of nothing and causing inflationary pressure, or, conversely, by selling government bonds on
- the open market and extinguishing debt, creating deflationary pressure and causing the stock market to drop.
- Q: Can Congress abolish the Federal Reserve System?
- A: The last provision of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, Sec. 30, states, "The right to amend, alter or repeal this Act is expressly
- reserved." This language means that Congress can at any time move to abolish the Federal Reserve System, or buy back the stock
- and make it part of the Treasury Department, or to altar the System as it sees fit. It has never done so.
- Q: Are there many critics of the Federal Reserve beside yourself?
- A: When I began my researches in 1948, the Fed was only thirty-four years old. It was never mentioned in the press. Today the Fed is
- discussed openly in the news section and the financial pages. There are bills in congress to have the Fed audited by the Government
- Accounting Office. Because of my expose, it is no longer a sacred cow, although the Big Three candidates for President in 1992,
- Bush, Clinton and Perot, joined in a unanimous chorus during the debates that they were pledged not to touch the Fed.
- Q: Have you suffered any personal consequences because of your expose of the Fed?
- A: I was fired from the staff of the Library of Congress after I published this expose in 1952, the only person ever discharged from
- the staff for political reasons. When I sued, the court refused to hear the case. The entire German edition of this book was burned in
- 1955, the only book burned in Europe since the Second World War. I have endured continuous harassment by government agencies,
- as detailed in my books "A WRIT FOR MARTYRS" and "MY LIFE IN CHRIST". My family also suffered harassment. When I
- spoke recently in Wembley Arena in London, the press denounced me as "a sinister lunatic".
- Q: Does the press always support the Fed?
- A: There have been some encouraging defections in recent months. A front page story in the Wall Street Journal, Feb. 8, 1993,
- stated, "The current Fed structure is difficult to justify in a democracy. It’s an oddly undemocratic institution. Its organization is so
- dated that there is only one Reserve bank west of the Rockies, and two in Missouri...Having a central bank with a monopoly over the
- issuance of the currency in a democratic society is a very difficult balancing act."
