"A Secret Society gradually absorbing the wealth of the world."
--- Last Will & Testament of Cecil Rhodes



Ted Butler, the most widely followed silver commentator, has often said to buy and hold physical, because that puts you beyond COMEX rule changes. That’s correct! However, there remains an immeasurably more insidious, far reaching entity that can change rules---Uncle Sam, and he’s tightly in the grasp of the same forces who’ve depressed silver for generations. Uncle Sam nationalized gold and silver in the Franklin Roosevelt administration; this is subject to a repeat! Now that the price can’t be suppressed, what’s next? FORBID OWNERSHIP! You have hours for professional sports and Oprah Winfrey; how about some time for your property rights, without which you can go broke? Whether the excuse cited is North Korea, the Middle East or other, the actual reason is to break us and prevent capital formation on our part! Please read and act on what follows---



"What an awful thought it is that if we had not lost America, or if even now we could arrange with the present members of the United States Assembly and our House of Commons, the peace of the world is secured for all eternity. We could hold federal parliament five years at Washington and five at London. The only thing feasible to carry this idea out is A SECRET ONE (SOCIETY) GRADUALLY ABSORBING THE WEALTH OF THE WORLD TO BE DEVOTED TO SUCH AN OBJECT. There is Hirsch with twenty millions, very soon to cross the unknown border, and struggling in the dark to know what to do with his money; and so one might go on ad infinitum."

("Cecil John Rhodes," The American Monthly Review of Reviews, New York, May 1902, pages 556-557 describes the life’s work and globalist ambitions of South African diamond cartelist Cecil Rhodes, a man financed both by The Crown and the Rothschilds, out of whose wills came the subversive Rhodes Scholars, the Royal Institute for International Affairs in London, the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, and others, all under the concealed supervision of the controlling organization---The Pilgrims of Great Britain and The Pilgrims of the United States, the hidden Senate of the transatlantic super-rich, founded in 1902 and 1903, respectively, drawing into itself the prominent "robber baron" dynasties of the 19th century and the financiers of the centuries old British Empire. Their last ace in the hole for global control is the United Nations, and if it fails, they fail.)

"It would have been better for Europe if Napoleon had carried out his idea of Universal Monarchy; he might have succeeded if he had hit on the idea of granting self government to the component parts. Still, I will own tradition, race, and diverse languages acted against his dream; all these do not exist as to the present English speaking world, and apart from this union is THE SACRED DUTY OF TAKING THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STILL UNCIVILIZED PARTS OF THE WORLD. The trial of these countries who have been found wanting---such as Portugal, Persia, even Spain---AND THE JUDGMENT THAT THEY MUST DEPART, AND OF COURSE, THE WHOLE OF THE SOUTH AMERICAN REPUBLICS. "

(This "secret one" or society, which sprang into existence a few months after Rhodes death, is the only organization that answers to the descriptions conceptualizing it in this rarely seen article buried deep on unfrequented library shelves. Notice they admitted to trying to recruit into their ranks wealthy men and take control over their fortunes after their death for their globalist vision. Their definition of "uncivilized parts of the world" includes any areas they wish to bring under control, by means of World War I, World War II, regional wars, and the Third World War, still to come. They speak of their judgment that certain nations must "depart," meaning, cease to exist as sovereign states! That includes all of South America, with its silver producing belts! This presentation won’t try to convince the reader that their global reach is still an influence that will override all others, such as China and Russia. They unquestionably do possess the means to start World War III; is that influence enough? There is no way to know, but it should be supposed, that in exporting America’s industrial base overseas, they retained ownership, and hold vast assets elsewhere. The effort is to convince you of their domestic control over these United States and by extension, Canada, and if the North American Union materializes, Mexico. There is no threat to your gold and silver ownership remotely as severe as that presented by The Pilgrims Society of the United States, based in New York City!)

"WHAT A SCOPE AND WHAT A HORIZON OF WORK FOR THE NEXT TWO CENTURIES, THE BEST ENERGIES OF THE BEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD; PERFECTLY FEASIBLE, BUT NEEDING AN ORGANIZATION, for it is impossible for one human atom to contemplate anything, MUCH LESS SUCH AN IDEA REQUIRING THE DEVOTION OF THE BEST SOULS OF THE NEXT 200 YEARS. There are three essentials--- (1) The plan duly weighed and agreed to (2) THE FIRST ORGANIZATION (3) THE SEIZURE OF THE WEALTH NECESSARY."















(Here on page 557 they admit that the year 2002 might be the halfway point for their dream of global Anglophile domination. "Best souls" means "most conspiratorial minds;" "first organization" means The Pilgrims Society of London and New York; and "the seizure of the wealth necessary" means many planned disasters caused by government actions negatively impacting the wealth of nonmembers, and those outside the ranks of such unofficial subsidiary organizations as the Council on Foreign Relations, which has long served as a staffing agency for multiple Presidential administrations. "The seizure of the wealth necessary" means many particulars, the first World War; Britain’s attack on the world’s silver money system, starting in India in 1926 with the decision of the Royal Commission on Indian Currency; the Crash of 1929, facilitated by Federal Reserve policies; the Great Depression, caused by Britain’s attack on silver; Britain’s attack on gold in September 1931, exacerbating the depression; seizing gold from American citizens in March 1933, and seizing silver in August 1934 to the extent of 113,031,000 silver ounces; driving China off its silver standard as of November 3, 1935 through the Silver Purchase Act of 1934; FDR’s socialist federal agencies; the second World War; the founding of the United Nations; the Korean war; the ending of silver coinage by the mid 1960’s; the Vietnam war and its war manufacturers windfalls; and all the ensuing major financial dislocations since that time to the crushing of the Hunt/Arab silver play in January 1980; to today’s mortgage crisis; forcing the middle class into apartments (feudalism); exportation of industry and jobs; reduced standard of living; Food and Drug Administration tyranny; the anticipation of hyperinflation; and concerns over a potential Federal nationalization of precious metals! It is to exert against that last eventuality that I present this essay, to place this specific elitist organization on public notice that they are now known; a partial summary record of their past attacks on gold and silver money and ownership; and a partial list of specific identified Pilgrims Society members involved over the years, acting to suppress gold and silver as money and against the commodity prices of each, and acting against citizen ownership of both!)

Pages 557-558 feature this about Cecil Rhodes---

"His original conception of his will was to leave the whole of his property, without any restrictions, to be administered by the sole discretion of three personal friends. As for eight years I was one of three to whom his millions were left in joint tenancy, I have perhaps as good opportunities of knowing his mind on this matter as anyone. It was while on board the steamer, midway between Cape Town and England, that the idea flashed into his mind of superseding his previous will by another, in which part of his wealth would be set apart for administration by trustees for educational purposes. When he first told me about it, the scheme was limited to British colonies. "It is admirable," I said, "but would it not be still better if you could extend it so as to bring the Americans into it?" Mr. Rhodes doubted whether his estate would bear such an extension, with which in principle he entirely concurred. Further examination satisfied him that it could be done, and accordingly the will contains the provision by which every American State is offered two scholarships tenable for three years."

(The person speaking was William T. Stead, Pilgrims Society, whom Lord Northcliffe, Pilgrims Society, described as "the greatest living journalist," page 45, "Pilgrims and Pioneers," (1946) by Sir Harry Brittain, founding member of The Pilgrims Society. See Chapter 10 of this scarce volume, "We Come Into Being," pages 103-153).

"I doubt whether Mr. Rhodes quite realized that by such an arrangement Americans would receive 50 percent more of his benefaction than British colonists. This however will probably soon be rectified by his executors, who have absolutely unrestricted ownership of the residue, which probably amounts to a moiety of the estate. Mr. Rhodes was amenable to my suggestion about the American extension of his scholarship BECAUSE IT SO THOROUGHLY JUMPED WITH HIS OWN IDEAS. "My scholars must all come to my old university. I AM ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THOSE WHO WILL DO THE GOVERNING OF THE NATIONS IN THE YEARS THAT ARE TO COME."

(President Bill Clinton, Pilgrims Society, is a Rhodes Scholar; Byron White, a Supreme Court Justice 1962-1993, was a Rhodes Scholar; Alfred Hayes, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Pilgrims Society, was a Rhodes Scholar---see "Paper Money Mobster Speaks," Archives. Trustees of the Rhodes Trust are invariably Pilgrims Society members; the board of directors of the Council on Foreign Relations are largely Pilgrims Society members; Bilderberg and Trilateral were founded by Pilgrims Society members. Skull & Bones, founded at Yale in 1832 as another British front with opium trade links, in no way has had the degree of influence as have had the Rhodes Scholars).

"NO MAN I HAVE MET REGARDED WEALTH EXCEPTING AS A MEANS BY WHICH HE COULD INFLUENCE MEN AND CONTROL THE DESTINIES OF NATIONS." (Page 560, Stead on Rhodes.)



Cecil Rhodes, financed by the Rothschilds and The Crown in South African diamond cartelization leading to the De Beers conglomerate, out of whose wills sprang "the first organization," The Pilgrims Society of London and New York, referenced in my series "Meet The World Money Power" and "PILGRIMS." This Society should be of major concern to every metals investor, as they’ve been controlling silver’s destiny as an organization for most of a century! The following chronology is necessarily a two steps forward, one step backwards progression, as overlapping situations are the inevitable rule.

First consider a statement by a founder of The Pilgrims Society, Sir Harry Brittain in the October 29, 1919 New York Times page 6, “Urges Firmer Bond For English Races” subtitled “Sir Harry Brittain Thinks the World’s Future Hangs on Unity of Americans and British” stated---

“Sir Harry Brittain, Chairman of The Pilgrims in London and founder of the American Officers Club in that city, who has been called the “Unofficial British Minister to the United States,” arrived yesterday. “The future is terribly uncertain. The war is over, the war clouds have been by no means dispelled, and the English speaking world may have duties to perform together in which work interdependence will be of vital moment. What the future holds for the League of Nations we know not, and can only hope for the best. Whatever may happen, it is inconceivable that a firmer basis for the world’s future stability can be suggested than a close understanding between the United States and the British Empire; first, for their mutual benefit, and second, because of their great inherent strength for the benefit of mankind. The British Empire and the United States practically control between them the capital of the world, the natural resources of the world, and the world’s shipping, and as the foremost representatives of democratic principles we can best preserve these key assets and dominate, and the world would trust us to do this, knowing well that we work for such purposes as would be for the world’s advantage.”

“There will be countless opportunities for cooperation. America is going out for the world’s trade with the heavy weight of American capital and unbounded enterprise. We were world traders when the white men first landed on this continent and have followed that calling with ever-growing intensity in the centuries that have followed up till today, and it is not unthinkable that British experience may be able to collaborate on an even larger scale than has already been the case with the wealth and enterprise of the United States. We have taken over additional land in the shape of Germany’s colonies, but we already have to look after some 13,000,000 square miles of the earth’s surface. It merely means additional responsibility.”

(Sir Harry’s comments were a veiled reference to the second World War, which the British and Americans by intent made unavoidable as 414 out of 440 clauses in the 1919 Treaty of Versailles were punitive measures against Germany; which is why Hjalmar Schacht of the German central bank announced that while he believed gold should be used to back currency, he would nevertheless go along with anything the Americans and British wanted---New York Times, October 22, 1926, page 15! He indicated he hoped the League of Nations would develop into a world government, but thanks to opposition in the Senate led by silver Senator William Borah of Idaho, the plan failed. No matter, The Pilgrims Society and The Crown had the United Nations waiting to start after WW2! The abandonment of overt British control over India and other large territories after WW2 was compensated for by their inclusion in the United Nations, behind which lurks The Crown, sponsors of The Pilgrims Society! Yeah, the world should trust the Anglo-Americans to “dominate” and control the natural resources of the world, such as silver, so that silver producing nations can’t use their own silver resources for circulating medium! Brittain founded the Commonwealth Press Union in 1909 for managed news control, and was a Knight of the British Empire. Brittain, 1873-1974, late in life) ---



John Brisben Walker, who founded Cosmopolitan Magazine in 1889, made some astonishing remarks about the same factions who founded The Pilgrims Society in 1902 and 1903. His comments appeared in the New York Times, February 3, 1931, page 24 in “Silver As A World Problem”---

“Demonetization of silver by England was originally worked by a few powerful financiers who saw an opportunity to more than double the value of their personal fortunes if silver could be demonetized in England, Germany and the United States. Backed by those who held mortgages on property throughout the world and who saw in demonetization the opportunity to double the value of their loans, the most powerful system of propaganda ever organized was put in operation. It involved the reiteration by propagandists unhesitating in their methods, by the exercise of every conceivable form of political and financial pressure. England’s action was one of combination among A FEW POWERFUL INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE WILLING TO WRECK THE WORLD IF THEY COULD DOUBLE THEIR PRIVATE FORTUNES. There was an immense fall of prices and extreme suffering resulted.”

Walker, who was born in 1847, commented on the bitter hardships forced upon Americans by the Crime of 73, of which he was a victim (silver demonetization in the Coinage Act of 1873) ---

“As if they had been a row of bricks, banks all over the United States fell down. Immediately those who had been living from hand to mouth began a struggle for existence. Depredations occurred. I personally saw a procession of starving workmen---estimated to be 10,000 in number---tramping along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal begging for food, ready to work for a wage that would barely keep body and soul together. There were four batteries of artillery sent down from Washington to protect the houses and property of the Baltimore & Ohio Railway. MEN COMMITTED SUICIDE BY THE THOUSAND. Everywhere hopelessness and despair settled over the country. Pressure was exerted by banks upon all who refused to accept England’s single gold standard. The effect on India and China will never be known in their fullest horror. The immediate depreciation of their only stock of money, silver, stopped trade and starved whole provinces. IT CAUSED MILLIONS OF DEATHS.”

Prostitute historians who’ve received grants and fellowships from the Money Power are intentionally silent on such matters. They’re on the faculties of major universities and author lengthy books, and leave out or misrepresent major details. A nationalistic Hindu source has this to say about British actions in literally dragging the world away from the use of silver as money at the close of the Napoleonic wars in 1816---

“The Gold Standard Adopted by Britain---most of the developed and nearly developed world followed suit in the 1870s. As a result, vast quantities of demonetized silver flooded the world market, depreciating the currency of India and China, the major nations outside the hegemonic gold bloc. Under British domination and the new gold standard, the value of India’s silver standard rupee fell by over one third between 1873 and 1895. The consequent inflation due to silver depreciation destroyed peasant savings and pushed peasant households into a usurious credit system. The British tax system took much and gave back little. The planned neglect of irrigation and other infrastructure by the British was to push Indian farmers into the production of cash crops. This and other similar policies dramatically undermined village and regional economy. It should also be noted that during the period from 1757 to 1947 there was no increase in per capita income.”

Henry P. Fitzmaurice (1845-1927) the 5th Marquess of Lansdowne, who was British Viceroy of India, 1888-1894, closed the Indian mints to the free coinage of silver as of June 26, 1893. The legislation took one session to pass! On October 15, 1903, The Marquess was at a meeting of The Pilgrims of Great Britain honoring the members of the Alaskan Boundary Commission; before being Viceroy of British India, he was Governor General of Canada 1883-1888 and Foreign Secretary, 1900-1905---



Lord Curzon was Viceroy of British India, 1899-1905, and let stand Lansdowne’s decision to close Indian mints to the free coinage of silver---

On December 8, 1919, the Allied Supreme Council delineated the Curzon Line, the Eastern boundary between Poland and Bolshevik Russia. He became Foreign Secretary, 1919-1924 and leader of the House of Lords, 1924-1925. He also became a “Marquess;” isn’t that just swell? Read about this Crown loyalist English aristocrat at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_...n_of_Kedleston

“Pilgrims and Pioneers” (1946) rare volume, states on page 110 that Lord Curzon was “A MOST SUPERIOR PERSON.” These “superior persons” of The Pilgrims Society need to be known to the world, instead of being the only major globalist organization refusing to release a roster into the public domain!

Baron Brassey of Bulkeley (1836-1918), charter member in 1902, Pilgrims Society of Great Britain, was the son of Thomas Brassey, who built railroads in England, Europe, India, Australia, Canada and the United States. Baron Brassey was a member of Parliament, 1865-1886; member, Lords of the Admiralty, 1880-1884; president, Institute of Naval Architects, 1893-1895; and Governor of Victoria Province, Australia, 1895-1900, (91,749 square miles). In 1895 Baron Brassey chaired the Royal Commission on Opium, another whitewash by the British establishment justifying their looting of China by making millions of Chinese drug addicts. This was started generations earlier as a government approved trade based in British India. Besides cold blooded profit, the motive was to start withdrawing huge amounts of silver from China so the Crown’s international financiers could continue to control the world silver market. At page 3 of http://www.drugpolicy.org/docUploads/opium_india.pdf we read that in the wake of the first Opium War of 1837 (won by Britain) ---

“The Qing authorities refused to legalize the sale of opium. This policy led to the Second Opium War of 1856-1860 in which a British force occupied Beijing and forced the Qing Emperor to legalize the import of opium. By the 1880’s, opium was one of the most valuable commodities in international trade. In an average year, export opium leaving Calcutta and Bombay averaged over 90,000 chests CONTAINING MORE THAN 5,400 METRIC TONS. This staggering amount would meet the annual needs of 14 million opium consumers in China and Southeast Asia who smoked opium on a daily basis, and many more if less intense use were assumed. Each year, OPIUM REVENUES POURED 93.5 MILLION SILVER RUPEES INTO GOVERNMENT OF INDIA COFFERS.”

The reason Britain did not invade America when Andrew Jackson shut down the second United States Bank, as it had done in response to President Madison’s closure of the first United States Bank in 1811 with the War of 1812, was because Britain deemed it lacked resources to invade both nations; that their opium business was more profitable; and they feared attacking America as long as their greatest nemesis, Andrew Jackson, was alive!

Baron Brassey, Pilgrims Society, apologist for silver stealing British Opium Trade---



Pages 44-45 of the linked pdf state---

“The Royal Commission on Opium, reflecting the views of both the Government of India and most informed Indians, rejected the cultural imperialism of the opium reformers. On this issue Lansdowne and other high officials involved championed the interests of the people of India against well meaning interference. The Government of India was better attuned to Indian opinion than the opium reformers.”

That shows how depraved the British establishment and its apologists were/are---compassionate persons who wanted to end the opium business were slandered as culturally imperialistic; when in fact, it was the opium business that was imperialistic beyond belief; when Pilgrims Society member, silver stealer Viceroy Lansdowne championed opium interests, it was that of a very tiny segment of Indians; mostly Britishers residing there, and their corrupt Indian officials---not that of the majority of Indians who derived zero income from that filthy, death-dealing business!

http://www.drugpolicy.org/about/keystaff/boardofdirec/ shows this organizations current Rothschild connections; and that Pilgrims Society members George Shultz of the Treasury Department and Paul Volker of the Federal Reserve are board members!

Whitelaw Reid (1837-1912), Pilgrims Society, long time editor of The New York Tribune, was senior diplomat at the Treaty of Paris of 1898, at which Spain surrendered control over the Philippine Islands (important for long history of silver importation) to the United States. Reid was Ambassador to France, 1889-1892 and to Britain, 1905-1912---



His son and two grandsons (see later) became silver suppressing Pilgrims Society members.

“Great Britain could count upon every dollar, every man, AND EVERY DROP OF BLOOD IN AMERICA.”---Whitelaw Reid, Ambassador to England, cited in The Congressional Record, August 21, 1940. That was a few scant years before we backed Britain in engineering World War I in their unending drive for global control.


Lyman Judson Gage (1836-1927, Pilgrims Society charter member 1903) was Treasury Secretary in the cabinets of Presidents McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt, 1897-1902, in which capacity he opposed silver in the monetary system. Before going to Treasury he was president of the First National Bank of Chicago, and after Washington he became president of United States Trust Company on Wall Street. He was a three-time president of the anti-silver American Bankers Association (ask any member how they feel as to remonetization of silver; their monthly magazine, Banking, April 1965, page 117, called for criminalization of silver accumulations!) Gage was first president of the Chicago Bankers Association, twice president of the Civic Federation of Chicago and a trustee of the Carnegie Institution of Washington; he was a member of the anti-silver Stable Money Association. Gage took the financial editor of the Chicago Tribune, Frank Vanderlip, and got him into the banking business as his assistant at Treasury. Recall that Pilgrims Society member Vanderlip was at the Jekyll Island, Georgia meeting where the Morgan-Rockefeller (Pilgrims Society) interests finalized plans for the Federal Reserve System! Vanderlip wrote "Tomorrow’s Money" (1934) Gage---



Banker and financier Morris K. Jesup, a founder of The Pilgrims Society of the United States in 1903 and sponsor of Arctic expeditions, headed the New York Chamber of Commerce at the time. The Chamber opposed silver money; as one example, see Commercial & Financial Chronicle, November 19, 1942, page 1807 in the article, "N.Y. Chamber of Commerce Urges Passage of Silver For War Use" ---

"The silver bloc is opposed to any legislation which might lessen the monetary sacredness of silver. There was no sound economic reason why an ounce of silver should be held as monetary backing."



Document below shows Jesup in Pilgrims management. Duncan was chairman of the Mobile Alabama & Ohio Railroad, Choate was a functionary of the huge Vanderbilt railroad interests. Four Britishers are seen here, illustrating Crown/Royal family connections of the organization. R.A.C. Smith was Commissioner of Docks for the Port of New York and had sugar and railroad interests in Cuba. James Speyer will be described later. Hunter Wykes, described as a broker (securities or insurance) was a member of the Royal Thames Yacht Club of England, and the anti-silver Bankers Club in Manhattan. Whitridge, of 59 Wall Street, married an Englishwoman and was appointed by Theodore Roosevelt on March 31, 1906 to be the representative of the United States at the wedding of the King of Spain. He was a director of Chicago Terminal Elevator; Manhattanville Railway; Northern Ohio Railway; Niagara Development Company; Niagara Falls Power; Third Avenue Railway; Washington County Railway; Westchester Electric Railroad; and was related by marriage to the Delafields, a significant Pilgrims Society family whose fortune traced to Colonial land grants; his son Arnold appeared in the leaked 1969 list of The Pilgrims, and was Art Commissioner for New York (a great tax dodge, else so many major museums wouldn’t exist); Edward Darrell of International Mercantile Marine, Bermuda Light & Power and General Trucking; George Ward of Commercial Cable Company, according to the June 16, 1922 New York Times, was “the dean of the submarine cable profession.” He was decorated by the Emperor of Germany in 1900 and the Emperor of Japan in 1906 and laid the first cables across the Atlantic, making arbitrage transactions possible between the London and New York Stock Exchanges. According to Wikipedia, “George Brinton McClellan Harvey (February 16, 1864 - August 20, 1928) was a diplomat, journalist, author, administrator for electric rail construction and owner and editor of several newspapers, all positions that brought him great wealth.” He was Ambassador to England, 1921-1923 and a director of Windsor Trust Company, named after the Royal family. John W. Griggs was New Jersey Governor and United States Attorney General and a member of the World Court in the Netherlands; John J. McCook, a close friend of Theodore Roosevelt, was a director of American Surety Company; Equitable Life Assurance; International Banking Corporation; and Wells Fargo. He was “deeply interested in the Pan-Islamic movement,” having been an expert on Persia (Iran) and Arabia; ushers at his wedding included John Saltonstall, a relative of Massachusetts Senator Leverett Saltonstall (1945-1967) who did so much to assist the Silver Users Association, and Nicholas Biddle, descendant of the original Nicholas Biddle of the gold and silver stealing second United States Bank!



Cassius Milton Wicker (1846-1913), executive committee of The Pilgrims Society as of 1907, was son in law of Augustus French, Governor of Illinois (1846-1853) and was president of the Bankers Money Association (hint---their money isn’t silver); chairman of the Bank of Discount; director of Aetna Insurance and was involved with railroads in New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, Illinois, Colorado and Texas---



James R. Keene (below) charter Pilgrims Society member in 1903, had this in his listing in the Who Was Who In America, 1897-1942, page 659---"became miner in California and Nevada, later speculator in mining stocks; accumulated $6,000,000 during bonanza period of the 1870’s; was president San Francisco Stock Exchange; since 1877 an operator on Wall Street." According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_R._Keene "Such were his talents at market manipulation that he was soon engaged by J.P. Morgan and William Rockefeller to manage funds for them and Keene emerged as a wealthy and powerful force in the New York financial community."



J.P. Morgan (1837-1913), Pilgrims Society, was described by biographer John Morton Blum as “almost Lord of creation.” Morgan played a central role in the Panic of 1893, which was largely an attack against silver money, blaming silver for dislocations caused in reality by the banking mogul and his associates; and again played a central role in the Panic of 1907, which was launched against the tyrannized public for the purpose of “educating” them that we needed a central bank. America “needed” a Federal monetary authority in which power would be centralized, “in order to thwart Wall Street malefactors,” was the typical cant fed to the public. Many naïve people wanted to believe the wrapper in which such conniving proposals were labeled! James Stillman, probably another Pilgrims Society member, head of the National City Bank, was a prominent participant with Morgan in both panics. Stillman’s father made a $4 million fortune in Mexican silver mining in the 1850’s and parlayed it into ownership in many railroad, banking and insurance organizations. Central banking---creating money from nothing, was understood to be more profitable than silver mining! Two Stillmans appeared in the leaked 1969 list of The Pilgrims, as did Henry Sturgis Morgan, J.P. Morgan Sr.’s grandson who appeared on the board of silver user, industrial colossus General Electric. “The Mirrors of Wall Street” (1933), page 45, said of Morgan’s firm---“There is hardly a spot on the globe where civilization has blazed a trail that the firm does not reach for its tithe.” J.P. Morgan, among a handful of the greatest gold manipulators in history---

[aaafluochugh]

Page 592 of “History of the Great American Fortunes” (1909) spoke of Morgan’s “ever expanding power” and page 628 recounted---

“The Panic of 1907 smashed lesser fortunes right and left, but Morgan emerged with far greater possessions. Before dealing with his financial dictatorship, mention should be made of his autocracy over great numbers of working people.”

Who’s Who In Finance, Banking & Insurance (1911), page 638, features this in Morgan’s listing---

“Has many times rendered valuable service to the United States government since the Civil War, notably in flotation of government bonds in 1876, 1877 and 1878 and also 1895, when his firm floated the $62,000,000 gold bonds issued by the Cleveland administration to restore normal Treasury surplus of $100,000,000 AND THEREBY SAVED THE TREASURY FROM A SILVER BASIS.”

By attacking silver and shoving it out of monetary matters, the way was cleared for gold to be attacked

James J. Stillman, subject of “The First Billion---The Stillmans and the National City Bank” (1934) had this said of him, in connection with Federal Reserve planner, Pilgrims Society member Frank Vanderlip (page 189) ---

“There was reason for STILLMAN’S EXTREME SECRECY. HE WAS PREPARING TO EXTEND THE CITY BANK’S POWER OVER THE EARTH AND FULLY RECOGNIZED THAT THIS AMBITION WOULD DRAW HIM INTO THE WEB OF INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL INTRIGUE AND ESPIONAGE”---



Stillman wanted the City Bank to “become a great central institution like the old United States Bank, which was destroyed by Andrew Jackson at the command of the people” (page 200). The City Bank (now Citigroup) traced to June 16, 1812, and was founded in response to the expiration of the charter of the first (British influenced) United States Bank. Stillman’s two daughters both married Rockefellers.

William Rockefeller (1918-1990), Pilgrims Society, was a long time director of Oneida Limited, a silver user for tableware and other objects. Innumerable silver coins were melted for Oneida’s benefit in the banker war against monetary silver. He was descended from the original William Rockefeller, seen below (1841-1922, younger brother of John D. Rockefeller) who page 1995 of the 1915 Who’s Who showed as a director of 47 corporations, mostly railroads but also copper mining and public utilities and a member of five clubs after which “etc.” was stated, leaving open the chance he was a Pilgrims member and was too big a wheel to not be---



George B. Cortelyou, Treasury Secretary 1907-1909, Pilgrims Society member, advocated a central banking system after the Panic of 1907, which his pals in The Most Secret of Secret Societies arranged---



As was intended from the beginning, the central banking system would militate against the use of precious metals in the payments structure until everything was fiat! Cortelyou became president of Consolidated Gas Company and chairman of the Republican National Committee. Many of these late 19th century to early 20th century Pilgrims Society members were back of the Gold Standard Act of 1900, which facilitated the march towards fiat currency by minimizing silver. Let’s look briefly at Charles Arthur Conant (1861-1915), a financial commentator and economist who was a delegate to the Gold Democratic Convention of 1896, organized against the silver movement led by William Jennings Bryan. Was Conant a Pilgrims member? I have found no such proof; he may have been related to James B. Conant (Pilgrims list 1969) which see later in discussion of silver used in the Manhattan Project. Charles was treasurer of Morton Trust Company, 1902-1906; that’s the Pilgrims Society connection. Levi P. Morton (1824-1920) was a charter Pilgrims Society member in 1903. Morton was a member of Congress, 1879-1881; Minister to France, 1881-1885; Vice President of the U.S., 1889-1893; and Governor of New York, 1895-1896. According to Ferdinand Lundberg in "America’s 60 Families" (1937, page 59) noted the association of Morton Trust Company with the J.P. Morgan interests and said Levi Morton was "long entangled in many shady deals;" and commented on page 66 that Theodore Roosevelt was "a virtuoso at deception" and had the backing of Levi P. Morton, Elihu Root (Pilgrims Society, helped steel magnate, Crown loyalist member Andrew Carnegie organize his dangerous foundations) and Chauncey Depew, Vanderbilt family attorney who helped found The Pilgrims Society. Levi P. Morton, dishonest financial operator, member of the anti-silver Pilgrims Society---



Having established background for Charles Conant, let’s consider his actions against silver as money; it’s reasonable to regard him as a Pilgrims Society functionary. Someday when full lists become known his name may appear. Conant was a member of the anti-silver American Economic Association and of President Theodore Roosevelt’s (Pilgrims Society) Commission on International Exchange which "advised" various governments to drop silver and go to a gold only basis http://mises.org/daily/3823 the rub being (as we will see later, the same thing happened in British India) that citizens of those nations couldn’t readily exchange their paper notes for hard gold! Conant "persuaded" the Philippines after the Spanish-American war, to go cold on silver, and did the same thing with somewhat lesser success in Mexico and Panama. (I have a 1962 Republic of Panama "Decimo de Balboa," actually produced for them by the U.S. Mint, having the same specifications and content as a 1962 Roosevelt dime). Of course, various sources have mentioned people like Charles Conant and his actions against silver; none of them located or identified, much less opened, the Unknown Source of monetary subversion to which he was connected---The Pilgrims Society; hence the desperate necessity of this documentary.

Conant complained about "the delusive quicksands of international bimetallism" (New York Times, December 30, 1902, page 5) showing his anti-silver stance.

The New York Times, July 7, 1915, page 11, "Ex-Treasurer of Morton Trust Company Acted for This Government in the Philippines and Panama," calling him a "noted financial expert" and named him "father of the Philippine currency" and mentioned---

"In 1901 he was appointed to a special commission of the War Department to the Philippines, being selected by Secretary of War Elihu Root to make a report on the Philippine monetary and financial conditions PRELIMINARY TO THE REMODELING OF THE SYSTEM. Conant was also a director of the Manila Railroad, the National Bank of Nicaragua and the Credit Clearing House. While connected with the Morton Trust Company he was invited to Mexico to aid in the plans for monetary reform then being undertaken by the Mexican Government, and in 1903 he was made a member of the Commission on International Exchange of the United States. He was made a member of the special commission of the New York Chamber of Commerce on Currency Reform in 1906. THIS COMMISSION REPORTED IN FAVOR OF A CENTRAL BANK. Conant also assisted the United States Government in suggesting a currency measure for the Panama Republic similar to the Philippine measure, and in 1910 and 1912 he visited The Hague as technical delegate of this government at the International Conference on Bills of Exchange."

Elihu Root (1845-1937), Pilgrims Society, set up Andrew Carnegie’s multiple globalist foundations and was appointed by President Theodore Roosevelt to Secretary of State, 1905-1909. His son, who probably became a member, later appeared on the boards of Mutual Life Insurance; Fiduciary Trust of New York; Teachers Insurance & Annuity; American Smelting & Refining (ASARCO); and A T & T. Anti-silver activist Elihu Root---


The Philippines, Panama and the Dominican Republic all deposited "reserve funds" with Morton Trust Company after accepting the "reforms" Conant suggested.

Henry Clay Pierce, charter member of The Pilgrims Society in 1903, was a director of The International Banking Corporation, profiled in the New York Times of January 2, 1902, "International Banking Corporation’s Far Reaching Plans" as operating in the important silver countries of China and the Philippines. Pierce was considered one of the four richest men in America just after the end of the 19th century http://www.picturehistory.com/product/id/6143 . In "America’s 60 Families" (1937) Ferdinand Lundberg citing other sources stated "H. CLAY PIERCE PUT UP THE MONEY BEHIND (FRANCISCO) MADERO AND STARTED THE REVOLUTION" (the Mexican revolution of 1910) ---



Pierce had huge holdings in Mexico including National Railways of Mexico; Mexican Central Railway; Mexican Pacific Railway; Central Mexican Railway; Mexican American Steamship Company; Mexican & Northern Steamship Company; Mexican National Construction Company; Mexican Fuel Company; Bank of Commerce & Industry, Mexico City; and Tampico Harbor Company. Additionally he owned Pierce Oil Company that later merged into the Rockefellers Standard Oil. Pierce had interests in Tennessee Central Railroad; Tennessee Construction Company; Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern Railroad; American Central Insurance; Mercantile Fire & Marine Insurance; Title Guaranty Trust Company; Mississippi Valley Trust Company; National Bank of Commerce and others. It’s of potential significance that this large scale financier had large operations in three major silver countries and as we know, bankers are unfriendly to monetary silver.

Elias De Lima, Pilgrims Society, Who’s Who In Finance, Banking & Insurance (1911), page 556, was as of 1910 “managing director of Mexican Bank of Commerce & Industry with which prominent Mexican interests, Deutsch Bank of Berlin, the international banking house of Speyer & Company and other leading American financial men are identified”---




The Mexican Bank of Commerce & Industry was interlocked with silver producer and refiner, Penoles (Engineering & Mining Journal, September 12, 1914, page 492). De Lima was a director of the anti-monetary silver New York Board of Trade.

James Speyer, international financier with banking interests in France, Germany (personal friend of Kaiser Wilhelm), Britain and America, member of The Pilgrims, was a supporter of the so-called Stable Money Association, and president for 1912-1914 of the Economic Club of New York (documented to be another anti-silver organization, see “The $150 Cufflinks,” Silver Investor archives.) Speyer, J.P. Morgan, the Stillmans, Rockefellers and Rothschilds (all Pilgrims Society interests) formed a syndicate in 1894-1895 which emptied the U.S. Treasury of $129 million in gold, then compelled the U.S. to issue interest bearing bonds to them in return for supplying gold; it was a Treasury raid (“History of the Great American Fortunes” pages 578-579). Speyer was penetrating banking circles in South America (executive committee, Pan American Society of the U.S.) and Mexico with the Mexican Bank of Commerce & Industry (and vice president, Mexico Society of New York) ---



Speyer was a director of Union Trust; Allianz Insurance of Berlin; French-American Financial Society; Bank of Manhattan; Title Guarantee & Trust; North British & Mercantile Insurance; Provident Loan Society; Corn Products Refining; General Chemical; Lackawanna Steel; Rock Island Company; Iron Mountain & Southern Railway; Baltimore & Ohio Railroad; Missouri Pacific Railway and others; member, committee on finance and currency, New York State Chamber of Commerce (See Who’s Who, 1914, page 2204; 1928, page 1953; and 1940, page 2429).

On November 19, 1908, in an address before the Commercial Club of Kansas City, Nicholas Murray Butler made the following remarks as recorded in “Why Should We Change Our Form Of Government?” (1912, Charles Scribner’s Sons, New York, pages 63-65) ---

“The nation was started on the right path by Alexander Hamilton, and no statesman since his time has understood more clearly or stated more cogently than he the fundamental principles which control a sound national system of banking and currency. Hamilton’s fundamental ideas of a national banking system supervised by the government and a national bank currency, are incorporated into our system today. BUT JACKSON AND BENTON DESTROYED, IN THEIR SUCCESSFUL WAR UPON THE SECOND BANK OF THE UNITED STATES, the institution which might have been made the controlling factor, under government direction, in giving to the business of the nation a sound and elastic currency system.”

(Thomas Hart Benton, 1782-1858, Missouri Senator, was called “Old Bullion” due to his expressed contempt for any use of banknotes. Butler repeated the banker claptrap about elastic currency; meaning, inflatable!)

“From the time of Hamilton’s great report on the public credit, made to Congress in 1790, and his opinion on the constitutionality and desirability of a national bank, that great genius advanced steadily in the completeness of his grasp upon the problems which the financial necessities of the new nation and the proper conduct of the people’s business presented. Gallatin in 1811, Dallas in 1814, Calhoun and Clay in 1816, and Marshall, in what is perhaps the most important single opinion the Supreme Court of the United States has ever rendered, made in the case of McCulloch vs Maryland in 1819, all supported and sustained Hamilton’s view.”

(Too bad the duel Hamilton had with Aaron Burr, which Hamilton lost, didn’t take place earlier; it could have saved the young nation from more British banking influence with Hamilton as a chief conduit! John C. Calhoun became a leading political adversary of Andrew Jackson; THE NAME JOHN C. CALHOUN APPEARED IN THE 1903 CHARTER LIST OF THE PILGRIMS IN NEW YORK! THIS WAS THE GRANDSON OF ONE OF JACKSON’S TOP OPPONENTS! The 1903 Calhoun married Linnie, grand niece of Richard M. Johnson, Vice President of the United States, 1837-1841; he chaired the executive committee of Central Railroad & Banking Company of Georgia---Who’s Who, 1914, page 362. Page 1002 of the 1940 Who’s Who shows Albert Gallatin, member of The Pilgrims in New York, a director of the France-America Society and member of the New York Federal Grand Jury, great great grandson of Albert Gallatin, who was Secretary of the Treasury, 1801-1814 and minister to France and England, and a backer of the ancestor of the Federal Reserve, the Bank of the United States, over which Britain invaded us in the War of 1812 because we let the Bank’s charter expire!)

“The financial troubles and difficulties of the United States began when the principles of Hamilton were forgotten, and the nation started out on the uncharted sea of reckless financial experiment. There is now sitting a Monetary Commission clothed with the authority of law to make careful and extensive inquiry into the banking and currency question, and to formulate a report for action by Congress. This Commission has gone about its work in the wisest possible way. Without preconception or prepossession, it has undertaken to study, with an open mind, the practices and experiences of other civilized peoples. Out of it there is almost certain to come a proposal for legislation that will take our banking and currency system out of the unsatisfactory condition in which it now is, and put it on a firm foundation, to the end that business may be carried on without fear of money famine or financial panic, and the legitimate needs of every portion of the country may be equally served. Nothing could be more unfortunate than to allow this question to become a partisan one.”

The 1914 Who’s Who, page 350, shows Nicholas Butler, central banking advocate, a vice president of The Pilgrims as of 1913 and president of Columbia University since 1902; he was president of The Pilgrims Society, New York, 1928-1946; his listing in various Who’s Who volumes is stunning for length and detail---



William Manchester in “The Glory and the Dream” (1973, pages 67-68) said of Butler---

“Nicholas Murray Butler told his students that “TOTALITARIAN REGIMES BROUGHT FORTH MEN OF FAR GREATER INTELLIGENCE, FAR STRONGER CHARACTER, AND FAR MORE COURAGE THAN THE SYSTEM OF ELECTIONS,” and if anyone represented the American establishment then it was Dr. Butler, with his Nobel Prize, his 34 honorary degrees, and his 30 year tenure as president of Columbia University.”

The king makers of The Pilgrims Society have the President of the United States in their hip pocket, by controlling the nominating process of both major parties! They had Butler as president of the France-America Society, 1914-1924, and a long time director of New York Life Insurance.

The New York Times, December 23, 1908 reported "Jacob H. Schiff, A. Barton Hepburn and Others Say the Silver Agitation Cannot be Revived." Below, Alonzo Barton Hepburn, Pilgrims Society (Who’s Who In America, 1914, page 1092) who held regulatory positions in banking for New York State beginning in 1880 and in 1892-1893 was Comptroller of the Currency in the Harrison and Cleveland administrations, after which he campaigned against silver in the National Sound Money League. Hepburn became president of the Rockefeller/Astor Chase National Bank in 1899 and chairman in 1911---

According to http://millercenter.org/academic/ame...ys/biography/4 ---

“Among the most important domestic issues that President William McKinley had to deal with during his presidency, bimetallism and tariff legislation loomed large. Through most of 1897, the McKinley administration pursued an international agreement to include silver, along with gold, as an acceptable backing for the major European currencies. McKinley indicated his support for bimetallism if England, France, Russia, and Italy would go along. When negotiations with these nations over bimetallism failed in late 1897, McKinley began advocating a gold-based currency. In 1900, he signed the Gold Standard Act, which formally placed U.S. money on the gold standard. All currency was fully backed by gold, with a fixed price at $20.67 an ounce.”

McKinley was fatally shot while at the Pan American Exposition, on September 6, 1901, dying on the 14th. As McKinley fell, his secretary, George B. Cortelyou, who we already saw earlier as a Pilgrims member, was apparently the first to reach the fallen President http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_McKinley Could it be that as McKinley showed support for silver earlier on, The Pilgrims Society could not trust him again to not stray from their anti-silver trajectory? It’s beyond mere chance that two of these worthy gentlemen were right there on the spot, and McKinley was even taken to Milburn’s residence! Were William McKinley and JFK both assassinated due to tendencies towards monetary silver? That’s my firm conviction! Let these synthetic money creators of The Pilgrims Society be sentenced to climb Mount McKinley, Alaska, barefoot! The cold should be warm compared to their iciness, and the peak rises higher over its base than any other land based mountain on Earth.

Don’t forget that on July 2, 1881, President James Garfield was fatally shot; the same Garfield on record as stating---“A banknote is not money; and no power on earth can make it money.” He was succeeded by banker puppet Rutherford Hayes.

In “The Federal Reserve and Our Manipulated Dollar” (1975, Martin Larson) page 99 we find---

“On two occasions assassins attempted to kill McFadden with gunfire; later he died, a few hours after attending a banquet, and THERE IS LITTLE DOUBT THAT HE WAS POISONED.”

Louis T. McFadden (1876-1936) was a Republican Congressman from Pennsylvania who introduced House Resolution 158, calling for impeachment of the Treasury Secretary, two of his lieutenants, the board of governors of the Federal Reserve System and the officers and directors of the 12 Federal Reserve branch banks; Congressional Record, May 23, 1933, pages 4055-4058.

Chunilal Suraya, an Indian financier who accumulated some 800 tons of silver and operated the Indian Specie Bank, was driven into bankruptcy by The Pilgrims Society, London branch, and committed suicide in 1913. In “The International Silver Trade” by Thomas Patrick Mohide (Woodhead Publishing, Cambridge, England 1992) page 128 remarked---

“The Indian government’s agents in London set a trap for him. Year after year he sold his silver at a handsome profit to the India Office. Somewhat miffed, the India Office eventually bought silver secretly through Mocatta for a whole year and did not need to buy it from Suraya. However, Chunilal Suraya had counted on the India Office as a customer again. When they did not buy, he went bankrupt in 1913 and committed suicide.”

(Why was the India Office, headed by The Marquess of Crewe, miffed over this Indian’s silver dealings? Inescapably, it was because The World Money Power doesn’t approve of silver as money, and it routinely smashes wealthy individuals outside its influence circles! The Marquess was probably a Pilgrims member; fragmentary information doesn’t allow for complete details; however, he was a cabinet officer in the government of Prime Minister Herbert H. Asquith, also known as The Earl of Oxford and Asquith, who was a Pilgrims Society member---“Pilgrim Partners,” 1942, page 66). Asquith, a known Rothschild associate, had his subordinates in the British India Office “set a trap” for Indian silver dealer Suraya to wreck his operations---



According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Jarecki the Indian Specie Bank was “rescued” (taken over) by Mocatta & Goldsmid, London---another Pilgrims Society interest---upon Suraya’s ruin. A line from Byron (1788-1824) fits Asquith---

“He was the mildest mannered man who ever scuttled ship or cut a throat.”

At http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Woodrow_Wilson we read

“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”

Was Wilson speaking of The Pilgrims Society? He could not have been speaking of a group representing only one major university---Skull & Bones Society of Yale. Unless, that is, someone believes that no major elitists come from anywhere else other than Yale, including Pilgrims member David Rockefeller, from Harvard! The Pilgrims is transatlantic and encompasses Yale as well as many others. Predating The Pilgrims by 70 years, Skull & Bones is nonetheless markedly inferior in power. The overlap is strong, and Pilgrims members like Francis F. Russell superintended the Russell Trust Association, financial basis of Bones.

Wilson was president of Princeton University (a major Pilgrims Society institution) 1902-1910 and New Jersey Governor, 1911-1913. He was president for 1910 of the American Political Science Association and received a Nobel Prize in 1919. He set up the War Industries Board managed by members such as Clarence Dillon and Edward Stettinius Jr. to enrich multiple Pilgrims Society members including Andrew Mellon.

Wilson was President, 1913-1921, signing into law the Federal Reserve Act and getting the country into World War I with the “Pilgrim Partners,” the worldwide British Empire. Wilson appointed Pilgrims Society member Paul Warburg to its anti-precious metals board and favored the Sixteenth Amendment allowing for a progressive Federal Income Tax, which was escaped by Pilgrims Society members via mazes of trusts and foundations. He sent Pilgrims Society members to Paris in 1919 to help British Pilgrims Society members impose the Treaty of Versailles on Germany, intentionally guaranteeing the second World War, highly desired by The Secret Organization. Wilson championed the Crown’s League of Nations, another Pilgrims Society attempt at universal tyranny.



The Trading With The Enemy Act of 1917, signed by Wilson, is often regarded as a large part of the alleged basis of Franklin Roosevelt’s seizure of gold and silver. Wilson practiced law after leaving office. He was a partner of Pilgrims Society member Bainbridge Colby, who was his Secretary of State, 1920-1921---



Colby was a member of the U.S. Shipping Board during World War I, benefitting the transoceanic shipping interests represented in The Pilgrims Society and was a member of the American Mission to the Inter-Allied Conference at Paris in 1917. He helped found the Progressive Party in Chicago in 1912, was a friend of Theodore Roosevelt and handled litigation relating to public utilities and Equitable Life Assurance and the American Newspaper Association. He was also special advisor to the Attorney General.

Frederick Eugene Farnsworth, Pilgrims Society, was general secretary of the anti-precious metals American Bankers Association, 1907-1919. Farnsworth was assistant to Michigan Governor Cyrus Luce, 1887-1891 and was with Union National Bank of Detroit, 1898-1903. Luce was earlier associated with the Whig Party (1833-1856) which supported the second Bank of the United States in the second Andrew Jackson administration, and again supported a central bank during the John Tyler administration (1841-1845), going so far as to instigate a riot outside the White House over Tyler’s refusal to support the unconstitutional plan---see “The Temper Tantrum” in Archives at www.silver-investor.com Farnsworth founded the Detroit Museum of Art in 1907. As of the 1926 Who’s Who, page 687, he was president of Combustion Specialties Corporation; treasurer, National Bond & Mortgage Corporation; and president, Anglo Latin Funding Company---



“Hits Glass On Silver” subtitled “Ex-Senator Cannon Charges That He Caused Price Break In 1919” we find---February 11, 1932, page 3 New York Times---

“Denver, February 10 (Associated Press) ---Frank J. Cannon, former Senator from Utah and now president of the National Bimetallic Association, with headquarters in Denver, charged in an address at a joint session of the Colorado General Assembly today that Senator Glass of Virginia was responsible for breaking the world price of silver in 1919 when he was Secretary of the Treasury. “Glass authorized the dumping of 29,000,000 silver dollars in the Orient for the ostensible purpose of regulating our exchanges with silver using countries, BUT FOR THE ACTUAL PURPOSE OF SMASHING THE WORLD PRICE OF SILVER,” said Mr. Cannon. He declared that he hoped Mr. Glass would not become Secretary of the Treasury in the Roosevelt cabinet.”

Was Glass a Pilgrims member? Documents available at this time don’t show it; however, he was associated with Paul Warburg, according to Elgin Groseclose in “Fifty Years of Managed Money,” 1966, page 98; Warburg is ID’d as a member.

Charter Pilgrims Society member George Fisher Baker (1840-1931), chairman of the First National Bank of New York as of 1909 (predecessor to Citigroup) was according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Fisher_Baker a director of 22 corporations; yet in his listing on page 98 of the 1914 Who’s Who, he lists 56 boards he was on "and various other corporations," with an amazing list of railroad corporations. They were correct in referencing Baker as "one of the most imposing figures in banking history." He was on the cover of Time Magazine, April 14, 1924. His son and grandson became Pilgrims Society members. Current George F. Baker Professor of Economics at Harvard University is Martin Feldstein http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Feldstein who received an award from the anti-silver American Economic Association and served as its president in 2004. Feldstein has served as a director of such silver antagonists as American International Group and J.P. Morgan & Company and is a contributor to the Wall Street Journal. Pilgrims Society kingpin Baker left one of the largest estates on record in 1931---



Charter Pilgrims Society member Frank Vanderlip played important role in founding the Federal Reserve System, set up to systematically loot the middle class, eventually reverting it to feudalism, chaired the anti-silver Economic Club of New York in 1916-1918. Read about him at http://www.jekyllclub.com/news/webnews-nov07.htm ---



The 1914 Who’s Who, page 2400, shows Vanderlip was “president of National City Bank and director of Riggs National Bank; Seaboard Railway; Chesapeake & Ohio Railway; Oregon Short Line Railroad; Norfolk Southern Railroad; Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway; etc.” The 1969 leaked list of The Pilgrims showed Frank Vanderlip Jr. a member.

The New York Times, April 27, 1933, reported Vanderlip Jr. was chairman of the “Committee on Mental Health Needs of New York City” which translated means “keeping The Pilgrims Society out of the national awareness and forcing compliance with government viewpoints.” He held interests in Palos Verdes Corporation, California, “the most exclusive residential colony in the nation,” built on 16,000 acres his father acquired in 1913, “and other corporations” and was a director of the National Municipal League.

John Bassett Moore (1860-1947), Pilgrims Society, was an expert on international law and held numerous university, government and diplomatic posts and was a power in many international conferences, was (Who’s Who, 1933, page 1652) “counselor Dept. of State, with power to sign as secretary of state, 1913-1914. Member of Permanent Court of Arbitration, The Hague since 1912; judge Permanent Court of International Justice, 1921-1928; delegate to Pan American Financial Congress of 1915.” That meeting was catalogued in a 751 page document in which silver wasn’t mentioned as a monetary quantity http://ia600304.us.archive.org/5/ite...00confgoog.pdf Moore was a director of Equitable Life Assurance Society; honorary president, Pan American Society of the United States; president, American Political Science Association, 1913-1914 and was awarded the Roosevelt Distinguished Public Service Medal in 1927--



William Cameron Forbes, Pilgrims Society (1870-1959), was Governor General of the Philippines, 1908-1913, an important silver country. He was the son of the president of Bell Telephone Company and grandson of famous essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. Forbes was Ambassador to Japan, 1930-1932 and disturbingly, chairman of the American Economic Mission to the Far East in 1935, the same year The Pilgrims Society, United States branch, drove China off her centuries old silver money standard, as of November 3, 1935---




Forbes was honorary president of the China Society of America; member India House Club, New York; trustee, Carnegie Institution of Washington; Overseer, Harvard University, 1914-1920; sent by the President to investigate conditions in the Philippines, 1921; receiver, Brazilian Railway Company, 1914-1919; partner, J.M. Forbes & Company; director, Copper Range Company; Boston Metal Investors; Stone & Webster; American Telephone & Telegraph; United Fruit Company; Massachusetts Fire & Marine Insurance; Massachusetts Hospital Life Insurance; Commercial Credit; Petroleum Heat & Power Company; Old Colony Trust; Arthur D. Little Incorporated; and others (Who’s Who, 1940, page 950; Who’s Who, 1952, page 827).

The Pittman Act of 1918, authored by Nevada silver Senator Key Pittman, allowed for melting 270,232,722 silver dollars for bullion conversion into approximately 209MOZ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittman_Act The bullion was then sold to Great Britain, in order that they could maintain control over British India, where demands were strident for payment in silver relating to expenses of World War I (Mining Congress Journal, February 1057, page 117). Senator Pittman insured that the silver would be replaced at $1 an ounce---then more than market prices---and partly as a result, the 1921 Morgan silver dollars were coined, all 86,730,000 of them. Senator Pittman wasn’t a hatchet man for silver suppressors, he was looking out for silver producers interests; but the silver was used to control British India.

In the Mining Congress Journal, February 1957, W.M. Yeaman, president of Clayton Silver Mines, writing in an article titled, “Silver Again In The Spotlight” commented on the British crisis in keeping control of India at the close of World War I (page 117)---

“In the statement submitted by Senator Malone he reviewed the use of silver as money throughout the world and referred particularly to the crisis that developed in India in 1918 which prompted the British government to urge the United States to supply India with 200 million ounces of silver to be coined into rupees to enable the Bank of India to redeem paper rupee notes WHICH WERE BEING OFFERED AT SUCH AN ALARMING RATE FOR REDEMPTION IN SILVER that the authorities feared the “run” would cause the closing of the banks, WITH RESULTANT RIOTS AND REVOLUTION BY THE NATIVES in the event of failure to meet the demand for note redemption."

In “Silver Serves Throughout the War” (Mining Congress Journal, February 1946, page 55) Nevada Silver Senator McCarran commented on the crisis that started in 1918 over redemption of paper rupee notes---

“Under the terms of the Pittman Act of April 23, 1918, approximately 258,580,000 silver dollars were melted down and 200,000,000 fine ounces of silver derived therefrom sold at $1 an ounce to the British Government to relieve the strain on banks in India. The natives of India, true to their tradition, were attempting to redeem in silver their paper rupee notes and there was not enough silver on hand to make good their redemption pledge. The United States Government did not have sufficient bullion silver on hand, and agreed to melt down enough silver dollars to yield 200,000,000 fine ounces for shipment to India. No publicity was given the enactment of this legislation AS IT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED GREAT BRITAIN TO LOSE FACE BY ADMITTING THE INDISPENSABILITY OF SILVER MONEY.”


Russell Cornell Leffingwell (1878-1960), Pilgrims Society, Yale 1899, was assistant Secretary of the Treasury, 1917-1920, when 200MOZ silver was sent to British India under the Pittman Act of 1918 for purposes of maintaining British control. He was a member, 1920-1923, of what became Cravath, Swaine & Moore, a leading Pilgrims Society law firm; next he joined J.P. Morgan & Company, rising to chairman, retiring in 1950. He was a trustee of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, one of Pilgrims Society member Andrew Carnegie’s foundations existing for Anglo-American world empire purposes via the United Nations. Leffingwell was president of The Pilgrims unofficial subsidiary, the Council on Foreign Relations, 1944-1946, then chairman into 1953. He was decorated by the government of Italy and was a member of the anti-silver American Economic Association and a fellow of the anti-silver Royal Economic Society---



Lucy Leffingwell Pulling (1907-1979), Russell’s daughter, was evidently related to Thomas Livingston Pulling of Citigroup, on The Pilgrims Society’s executive committee as of 2003. Leffingwell was son in law of General J.C. Chamberlain.

The Earl of Reading, British Ambassador to the United States 1918-1919, Pilgrims Society member, obtained silver for British control over India. He was British Viceroy of India, 1921-1925 and as British Foreign Secretary in 1931, assisted his government’s campaign to depress world silver valuations by dumping melted rupees on the world market---


"THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT DETERMINED

TO DESTROY SILVER AS MONEY"

---Nevada silver Senator Key Pittman, quoted in China Weekly Review, Shanghai, January 31, 1931, page 318.

[adunnyByday]

Balfour was a member of the sardonically named anti-silver Stable Money Association. This was the same aristocrat who, in cooperation with the Rothschilds, issued the Balfour Declaration of 1917 which became the political basis for creation of the State of Israel. Lord Milner, another Pilgrims Society member and a key financier of the Soviet Red Revolution of 1917 in Russia, was the third member of that triumvirate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour...ration_of_1917


The British (a source within Midland Bank) even called for a so-called “super bank” to be organized that would control all the gold and silver mined by companies based in the British Commonwealth and the United States (New York Times, May 17, 1931, page 9) which would then issue a new currency unit for the world---the “Rex” (Latin meaning “king”) ---named of course, for King George V of England---then Patron of The Pilgrims Society---



It should be unsettling to know that The Pilgrims London list for 1980 included Lord Cornwallis, an heir to the title held by an invading British redcoat general in our Revolutionary war!

The Pilgrims Society staged a massive nationalization---read "confiscation" of gold and silver, March 1933 into early 1937, dispossessing Americans of their natural right to protect themselves from depredations of their inflationary government. See "Metals Confiscation Facts And Prospects," a 312 page pdf file in Archives at www.silver-investor.com with original source material from the Commercial & Financial Chronicle and the New York Times and other sources, covering in depth week by week over a four year span Franklin Roosevelt’s seizure of precious metals from Americans. Franklin Roosevelt, PILGRIMS SOCIETY member ---



Herbert Hoover at left, in keeping with the "long standing tradition" of United States Presidents being "honorary" members of The Pilgrims Society ("The Pilgrims of the United States," Profile Books, 2003, page 30) refused to call an international conference on silver unless the British did so first! Hoover knew the British attack against monetary silver caused the depression and still refused to help his country---

President Hoover, in his address before the American Bankers Association at Cleveland, on October 2, 1930, blamed the fall in silver prices on “overexpansion of production” in order to shift obvious blame away from his British pals; however, known production of 1922 through 1930 inclusive averaged 218,474,207 ounces per annum---and there certainly was no “overexpansion of production;” indeed, mine output was falling after the Royal Commission’s report came out in 1926---China Weekly Review, January 31, 1931, page 337.

Correcting Hoover’s intentional falsehood was Senator Pittman of Nevada, commenting in the China Weekly Review, January 31, 1931, page 317, commented---

“THE AMAZING UNIFORMITY OF THE ANNUAL PRODUCTION OF SILVER THROUGHOUT THE WORLD MILITATES AGAINST ANY THEORY THAT AN OVERPRODUCTION OF SILVER COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BROUGHT ABOUT THE DEPRESSION. There was a time when certain financiers and economists imagined that there was an unlimited amount of silver somewhere that might be mined and dumped upon the world, but the world’s annual production for 30 years proves the fallacy of any such presumption.”

The China Weekly Review January 31, 1931, cited Nevada silver Senator Key Pittman---page 315---

“In 1926 the British Government for India adopted the gold standard for India and commenced to melt and sell as bullion on the world market the silver money of India. IMMEDIATELY THE PRICE OF SILVER COMMENCED TO DROP UNTIL, DURING 1930, IT HAS AVERAGED AROUND 34 CENTS AN OUNCE, OR ABOUT ONE-HALF OF ITS NORMAL PRICE.”

"IT IS AMAZING THAT FOREIGN INFLUENCE CAN BE BROUGHT TO BEAR ON SUCH HIGH AMERICAN OFFICIAL CIRCLES. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THE SCHEMES OF ONE GOVERNMENT COULD BE PERMITTED TO BLOCK A CONFERENCE OF ALL NATIONS ON SO VITAL A SUBJECT."---Nevada Silver Senator Key Pittman, New York Times, June 9, 1931, p. 49

The Commercial & Financial Chronicle, January 30, 1932, page 766 “President Hoover was accused by Senator Pittman (Democrat Nevada) of “tying the hands of the Senate” in failing to call an international conference on silver, following an 80 minute speech in favor of remonetization of the white metal by Senator Wheeler (Democrat Montana). “The President has no excuse for not calling such a gathering” Pittman asserted.”

"President Hoover, DUE TO BRITISH OPPOSITION, has refused to take any steps toward calling a silver conference."

---China Weekly Review, June 20, 1931, page 85.

"Leaders of the silver industry are understood to entertain little hope that the President will take the lead in calling a conference to restore silver" (Commercial & Financial Chronicle, New York, April 18, 1931, page 2869); "The President has no intention of calling a (silver) conference, it was authoritatively asserted" (New York Times, September 3, 1931, page 35). Dean of Boston University, Howard LeSourd, said after World War II---

"Our State Department seems to have no mind of its own when it deals with the British on matters of world policy. Even our President backs down at the suggestion of the Prime Minister of England."

(New York Times, November 21, 1945, page 2).

Martin Larson in his fine expose, “The Federal Reserve and Our Manipulated Dollar” (1975), stated on pages 96-97---

“We are living in an age in which it is impossible for anyone to reach the highest office in the United States without SERVING INTERESTS AND POWERS THAT ARE INEXPRESSIBLY EVIL” ---

Robert Lansing, Pilgrims Society, Secretary of State 1915-1920, relative of first head of the Central Intelligence Agency, Allen Dulles, Pilgrims Society, worked with the Earl of Reading to get American silver into British India to help his "Pilgrim Partners" maintain control for another generation---



Robert Lansing founded the American Society for International Law (read "world government") in 1906. He was a trustee of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, funded by British Crown loyalist, Pilgrims Society member Andrew Carnegie of the original steel trust. Lansing’s nephews were John Foster Dulles (Pilgrims Society) who became Secretary of State and Allen W. Dulles (Pilgrims Society), Central Intelligence Agency director. Lansing was a member of the American Commission to Negotiate the Peace, 1918-1919, which along with Britain, intentionally imposed such harsh terms on Germany at the close of World War I, that they purposefully assured a second World War; that was the planned objective.

Henry Algernon DuPont (1838-1926), Pilgrims Society, was the largest subscriber to the Anglo-French Loan of 1916, relating to World War I finance ("Pilgrim Partners" 1942, page 110) and in addition to holdings in silver user Du Pont had interests in Wilmington & Norfolk Railroad. Eleuthere du Pont, who appropriately died on Halloween in 1834, was a director of the second United States Bank (smashed by Andrew Jackson); an anti-silver and anti-gold forerunner of the Federal Reserve System. The 1987-1942 Who Was Who in America, page 349. Has Du Pont stating his “OPPOSITION TO THE FREE AND UNLIMITED COINAGE OF SILVER.” Du Pont was a Republican Senator from Delaware, 1906-1917 who voted for the Federal Reserve Act of 1913---



Dwight W. Morrow, Pilgrims Society, was a J.P. Morgan & Company partner, 1914-1927, appearing on the usual agglomeration of corporate boards. He was Ambassador to Mexico, always a key part of the silver scene, 1927-1930. The New York Times, March 2, 1927, page 29, “Mexico Halts Silver Coinage” stated, “The Government has ordered the mint to stop coining silver peso and half peso pieces.” Determining if Pilgrims Society member Morrow had something substantial to do with that is on a lengthy list of investigations that may necessitate review of Mexican newspaper archives, Bank of Mexico or Treasury documents, if available---



Morrow played a role in supervising the De la Huerta-Lamont Treaty of 1922, secured by Thomas W. Lamont of J.P. Morgan & Company and The Pilgrims Society, as head of the International Committee of Bankers on Mexico, under which export of Mexican silver to America was increased, allegedly to back the peso! How does specie back a currency if exported across the border? Lamont was also the representative of the Treasury Department section of the American Commission to Negotiate the Peace at Paris in 1919 and chairman of the American members of the International Consortium for Assistance to China---



In "America’s 60 Families," 1937 by Ferdinand Lundberg, page 33, we find---

"An extraordinarily complex and resourceful personality like Thomas W. Lamont, who has been the brains of J.P. Morgan and Company throughout the postwar period and was a mentor of Woodrow Wilson in Wilson’s second administration as well as of President Herbert Hoover throughout his fateful single term in the White House, HAS EXERCISED MORE POWER FOR TWENTY YEARS IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE, HAS PUT INTO EFFECT MORE FINAL DECISIONS FROM WHICH THERE HAS BEEN NO APPEAL, THAN ANY OTHER PERSON. Lamont has been the First Consul de facto in the invisible directory of postwar high finance and politics, consulted by presidents, prime ministers, governors of central banks, the directing intelligence behind the Dawes and Young Plans. Lamont is Protean; he is a diplomat, an editor, a writer, a publisher, a politician, a statesman---an international presence as well as a financier."

Other sources claimed Andrew Mellon or John D. Rockefeller Jr. were tops on the totem pole. What difference did it make? All three were Pilgrims Society members! Lamont’s input into President Hoover noted, recall that Hoover refused to call an international conference on silver! Pilgrims Society policy is that silver will not be employed as money and recognized only as a commodity to be fed at suppressed prices to the Silver Users Association! Lamont’s son Thomas, Pilgrims Society, was also with J.P. Morgan & Company and a director of corporations such as Nestle; Texas Gulf Sulphur; International Minerals & Chemical; North British & Mercantile Insurance; Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway and Phelps Dodge. His younger brother Corliss, a cesspool of festering reactionary views, authored (1939) "You Might Like Socialism---A Way Of Life For Modern Man."

In “Twenty Eight Years In Wall Street” (1885, NYC) by Henry Clews highly likely Pilgrims Society member (1840-1923), page 157, he admitted that the Panic of 1837 took place because very powerful interests (the Crown, the Rothschilds, Astors and Du Ponts) were unhappy that the charter of the United States Bank was allowed to expire---



Clews married the grandniece of President Madison. At the start of the Civil War Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase contracted with Clews firm for the sale of bond issues with which to continue the war. (Chase National Bank was named after Chase.) Next Clews was appointed by President Grant as fiscal agent of the government for all foreign nations. He was “advisor and agent in organizing new financial system of Japan (on recommendation of President Grant)”---Who’s Who, 1914, page 461. Clews was decorated with the Order of the Rising Sun in 1908; founded Clews & Company in 1877; trustee, Northern Ohio University; treasurer, American Geographic Society; treasurer, International Peace Forum; president, American Peace and Arbitration League; director, Japan Peace Society and Economic Club of New York (which was and remains opposed to silver money!) I suspect Mr. Clews, born in Staffordshire, England, was a warmonger. He mentioned his start in banking after the Panic of 1857. One of his relations, a nephew, James B. Clews, was mentioned in the Congressional Record, August 20, 1940, as being a known member of The Pilgrims Society. Also tracing his ancestry to Staffordshire, James Clews married into the Livingston dynasty, into which many other Pilgrims members married (including J.P. Morgan’s son, Henry, born in 1900, who was a General Electric director).

The Livingstons were Crown loyalists in Revolutionary War times who received huge land grants from the King. James Clews said of himself “In banking business since 1890. Head firm of Henry Clews & Company; president Toledo, Ann Arbor & North Michigan Railroad; director of many corporations.” (Who’s Who, 1931, page 532). The paper money mob is highly intermarried. There could still be considerable Livingston influence in the Bank of America (New York Times, January 12, 1927, page 33, “E.C. Delafield and Associates Retain Control at Annual Meeting of Stockholders.”) Who’s Who, 1928, page 628, shows Delafield’s Livingston ancestry as president of Bank of America, member of Pilgrims Society, and glimpses into vast real estate ownership. Bank of America was on the Silver Users Association roster circa 2004. It’s amusing that they do not maintain a list of ex-members, like the North American Mirror Manufacturers Association and Prudential Insurance. Union Carbide, of poison gas infamy, merged into Dow Chemical.

“Silver As Standard Doubted By Gerard” ran in the New York Times, October 9, 1931, page 16---

“There is little possibility that the nations of the world will adopt silver as a monetary standard, because the production of silver is largely owned or controlled in the United States and Mexico, James W. Gerard, former ambassador to Germany, told an audience yesterday. “That seriously the nations will take up silver I do not believe,” Mr. Gerard declared. “They will not do it because three-fourths of the world’s silver production is in Mexico or the United States or by companies owned in the United States.”

James Gerard (1867-1951) was ambassador to Germany, 1913-1917 who was listed on page 900 of the 1930 Who’s Who as treasurer of the Democratic National Committee and a British Knight, Order of the Bath (reference is to ceremonial purification bath by English knight after killing an adversary for the Crown). Gerard became chairman of the Democratic National Finance Committee in 1934, a post he held to beyond 1940 (1941 Who’s Who, page 1026, listing his office at 40 Wall Street; he was sent as American representative to the coronation of King George VI, patron of The Pilgrims Society). Ambassador Gerard attended a dinner for Lord Halifax on April 22, 1946. This was the same Halifax who presided over the dumping of Indian silver on world markets, causing the Great Depression, during which his Pilgrim buddies jumped all over the opportunity to expand their global holdings. Ambassador Gerard was also the son in law of Marcus Daly, “Copper King of Montana” (1841-1900, see below), who was the sole owner of Anaconda Copper Mining Company of Montana, and who sold out to John D. Rockefeller (Pilgrims Society) in 1899. While these Pilgrims don’t mind making gains in mining investments, they sure as hell don’t want to see metals as the basis of exchange; unless they ended up owning all metals after a “nationalization!”

Ambassador Gerard’s views as to why he predicted the world would not return to silver money were certainly hokey! Did the world shun diamonds as long as most of them came from South Africa, or earlier, from Brazil, and before that, from Golconda in India? (No!) The same principle holds for Australian opals; Burma rubies; Columbian emeralds; or any other commodity whose production is concentrated in limited regions. Where do U.S. fiat notes come from? Just one country issues these, correct? So based on his logic, the world should not use them because they originate in just one nation! Dishonest, slithering lowlife Pilgrims Society vice president James Gerard---



The New York Times ran an obituary in late June 1987, evidently of a descendant of Gerard---

“Brigadier General James W. Gerard, a retired Army officer and real-estate executive, died of kidney failure on Saturday. He was 73 years old and lived in Manhattan and Luxembourg. June 28, 1987 deceased.

General Gerard, who was born in Manhattan, attended Cambridge University and the University of Grenoble. In 1937, he enlisted in the Army and served in World War II and the Korean War and on the staff of the Pentagon from 1952 to 1957. He retired in 1961.

In 1975, he resumed his military career as commander of the Veteran Corps of Artillery of the State of New York and retired again in 1986. He and family members also owned Aeon Realty, a Manhattan holding company.

He is survived by his wife, Jean, United States Ambassador to Luxembourg; a son, James W., of Washington; a daughter, Harriet C., of Manhattan, and three brothers, C. H. Coster Gerard, Sumner Gerard and John Train, all of Manhattan.”

John Train, as we will see later, is a Pilgrims Society member. “The Pilgrims of the United States,” 2003, page 146, showed James W. Gerard V as on The Pilgrims executive committee, along with Citigroup official Thomas Livingston Pulling. The Livingstons are probably in more Pilgrims Society genealogies than any other; they trace to Crown loyalists in Colonial times. According to “History of the Great American Fortunes,” 1909, pages 44 & 45---

“Robert Livingston, progenitor of a rich and potent family which for generations exercised a profound influence in public affairs, contrived to get together an estate which soon ranked as the second largest in New York and one of the greatest in the Colonies. He loaned money at frightfully usurious rates and hounded his victims without a vestige of sympathy. As a trader and government contractor he made enormous profits; such was his collusion with high officials that competitors found it impossible to outdo him. By a multitude of underhanded and ignoble artifices he finally found himself the lord of a manor sixteen miles long and twenty four broad. When he died in 1728 he left an estate WHICH WAS CONSIDERED OF SUCH COLOSSAL VALUE THAT ITS TRUE WORTH WAS CONCEALED FOR FEAR OF FURTHER ENRAGING THE DISCONTENTED. HE WAS IN COLLUSION WITH CAPTAIN KIDD, THE SEA PIRATE.”

The Livingstons first marriage connection to other immense wealth was the Beekmans; the Astors, Roosevelts and Bush families followed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livingston_family

Charles M. Schwab, Pilgrims Society, chaired Bethlehem Steel and was a director of Empire Trust; Metropolitan Life; Tonopah Extension Mining; United Zinc Smelting; Vanadium Corporation; Chicago Pneumatic Tool; American Surety et al (whose brother in law, Alva C. Dinkey of Carnegie Steel, was also a member), Schwab was a director of the silver suppressing Chase National Bank (1928 Who’s Who, page 1853) ---



Pilgrims Society member George W. Wickersham (1858-1936) of 40 Wall Street (president of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, 1914-1917) was noted in the New York Times, November 5, 1932, page 4, "policies of the Hoover administration were defended by George W. Wickersham." In this context, Hoover’s policy of refusing to call an international silver conference because Great Britain opposed it---



President Hoover appointed him to what became known as the Wickersham Commission (on law and order) which is sardonically amusing to consider given his criminality. He was chairman of the executive committee of the France America Society, a Pilgrims Society front extending influence into that major European state; he was president of the American Society of the French Legion of Honor and member of the anti-silver Economic Club. France turned against silver in French Indo-China when Britain started dumping India’s silver. He was president of the Council on Foreign Relations, 1933-1936, one of many proofs the CFR is under Pilgrims Society management. He was Attorney General in the Taft administration, 1909-1913 and became a trustee of the Carnegie Institution of Washington and was a member of the Commission on Reorganization of New York State government, 1925-1926. He was a principal in Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, powerhouse law firm at 40 Wall Street dating to 1792 in which Henry Taft, President Taft’s brother, was a partner. William Taft was American governor of the Philippines, 1901-1903. Alphonso Taft, father of the Taft brothers, was Attorney General, 1876-1977. Wickersham became president of the American Law Institute in 1923 and was president of the American Prison Association in 1920. In 1924 Wickersham was appointed a member of the Committee for Progressive Codification of International Law of the League of Nations and was a trustee of the University of Pennsylvania, 1920-1926.

The Earl of Balfour, Pilgrims Society of Great Britain, was Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in 1916-1919, in which capacity he made a contribution to his government obtaining American silver in order to quell unrest in British India---

Harry P. Leonard wrote to the New York Times, October 15, 1933, section IV page 5, "In the hasty work of last March constitutional rights and law were overlooked."

That was in response to Franklin Roosevelt’s illegal, anti-Jacksonian order of March 1933 that Americans had to turn in gold notes and more importantly, hard gold!

William Emlen Roosevelt was a director of Chemical Bank (associated with the chemical industry, silver catalyst users), several railroads, ITT Corporation and other entities and was most likely another Pilgrims member.

FDR’s Treasury Secretary, Henry Morgenthau Jr., second generation Pilgrims Society member whose father was Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, member of the anti-silver Economic Club of New York, director of the Equitable Life Assurance Society and a member of the Order of the British Empire holding a fortune in real estate in Herald Square Realty, presided over THE SICKENING PRECIOUS METALS FORFEITURE CRIMINALLY IMPOSED ON UNITED STATES CITIZENS---



His father was known to be in contact with Viscount Reginald Esher (Pilgrims of Great Britain) who was associated with the Crown and the Rothschilds. The Crime of ’73 (1873) in which London interests bribed Congress to demonetize silver for all payments of over $5 traces to these same elements! That action caused widespread misery ignored by mainstream historians, who are bought off by corrupted scholarships, fellowships, appointments, tenure at Society dominated universities, and ownership of textbook publishers. Morgenthau Senior was offered to be Ambassador to Mexico in 1920. Junior was a member of the anti-silver Bankers Club in Manhattan.

Newsweek, August 18, 1934, page 29 commented---

"Using the right of eminent domain in confiscating the metal, Treasury officials could legally set any price they desired."

The Commercial & Financial Chronicle, December 21, 1935, page 3945, quoted Treasury Secretary Morgenthau stating that the silver nationalization was "in the interest of the public." The New York Times, August 10, 1934, front page---

[img width=600 height=175]http://silverstealers.net/Image31.jpg[/img]

Business Week, February 27, 1937, page 35 stated---

"ALL THE SILVER COMMANDEERED AT THE TIME SILVER WAS NATIONALIZED WAS AT 50 CENTS AN OUNCE. THE WORLD PRICE THEN SOARED TO THE 70s."

Gold was nationalized at $20.67/ounce and then revalued to $35; silver holders were likewise frozen out of future gains. It was not the Federal Government taking precious metal from the citizenry---it was The Pilgrims Society---the Crown’s concealed network of financiers doing the stealing, using the President and the Treasury Secretary to do it, hiding behind appeals to "national necessity."



Franklin Roosevelt, gold and silver stealer, member of wealthy Wall Street dynasty with a fortune partly based in the opium "trade" in which British aristocrats were leaders, faulted precious metals as a monetary base (page 1, New York Times. December 23, 1933) ---

"SEA SHELLS WITH HOLES IN THEM ARE A MONETARY BASE IN THE SOUTH SEAS."

“THE PRESIDENT IS A DICTATOR AFTER MUSSOLINI’S OWN HEART.”---New York Times, March 10, 1933, page 8

See May 4, 2003 New York Times http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpag...56C0A9659C8B63

David Lloyd-George, Pilgrims Society of Great Britain, also known as The Earl of Dwyfor, member of Parliament, 1890-1945, formerly Prime Minister, President of the Board of Trade, Minister of Munitions, Chancellor of the Exchequer and Secretary of State for War, praised FDR’s gold and silver stealing campaign (New York Times, April 23, 1933, page 27)---

"Already in his short time in office he has shown resolution and courage, and has proved himself to possess that rare and invaluable combination of qualities in a statesman---a clear vision of the national need and the courage to act."

"National need" is the same code language as "national emergency" and "wartime emergency" and is Pilgrims Society lingo for "the seizure of the wealth necessary." Pilgrims Society member The Earl of Dwyfor, opponent of gold and silver ownership on the part of the classes they intend to rule over, was British Prime Minister during the Indian crisis of 1918 in which his Pilgrim Partners in America arranged for 200 million ounces of silver to be sent for purposes of preserving British control---

“Newspapers Issue Scrip,” New York Times, March 7, 1933, page 3 reported---

“Louisville, Kentucky---Louisville’s first scrip, issued by the Courier-Journal and Times, will appear tomorrow. Employees will receive their salaries in part scrip and part cash. The scrip can be used at stores that advertise in the newspapers. The merchants will use their scrip to pay advertising bills, but for no other purpose.”

(Robert W. Bingham, Pilgrims Society member seen below, owned that newspaper. His second marriage was into the Flagler family of Pilgrims Society members and Standard Oil and railroad heirs. His second wife died within a year, he got her millions, and rumors abounded she was murdered. Bingham was FDR’s ambassador to Britain, 1933-1937. He made statements to the effect that it was good for the English people that Britain abandoned gold in fall 1931. “Ambassador Attributes Re-employment of 600,000 There to Quitting Gold Standard", NYT, December 24, 1933, page 5.)



Henry M. Flagler was a founding partner in Standard Oil, and later built the Florida East Coast Railroad and hotels with 40,000 rooms, including one with 1,100 rooms. He lived in a 55 room mansion and divorced his second wife on the ruse of “incurable insanity” http://www.volusia.org/history/Flagler.htm . Bingham’s son Barry Jr., Pilgrims Society, Order of the British Empire, chaired the Louisville Courier Journal and Times, the International Press Institute and the English Speaking Union of the United States and was seen with The Queen and Prince Philip on July 9, 1976 (“The Pilgrims of the United States,” 2003, page 142).

James Aloysius Farley, Pilgrims Society, ran Franklin Roosevelt’s New York gubernatorial and presidential campaigns and chaired the Democratic National Committee from 1932-1940, after which he chaired Coca Cola Export Corporation---59 Coke plants were built by taxpayer money under the misleading aegis of "European reconstruction" after World War II http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Farley He was a member of the subversive American Academy of Political and Social Science and the anti-silver New York Board of Trade. He was Postmaster General, 1933-1940 and ordered notices posted at all post offices as to Franklin Roosevelt’s Executive Order 6102 compelling Americans to turn in their gold to the Treasury Department---

Lord Kindersley, Pilgrims Society of Great Britain (1871-1954) became chairman of the famous international financial house of Lazard in 1919 and chairman of Rolls Royce. He was a director of the metals suppressing Bank of England, 1914-1946 and had huge holdings in Canadian National Railway.

Below, inner circle Pilgrims Society member Vincent Astor with Franklin Roosevelt. In "FDR" (2008) by Jean Smith, 880 pages, page 296 mentions FDR’s 11 day cruise in 1932, the year before FDR’s gold grab, on Vincent Astor’s 263 foot yacht.

[img width=600 height=380]http://silverstealers.net/Image34.gif[/img]

John Jacob Astor working with us in the opium trade,

Just look at us bankers, we’re a real sick parade!

Under titles and dukedoms we masquerade,

Bad legislation in your Congress, you’re betrayed!

Vincent Astor, descended from John Jacob Astor (1763-1848) the "landlord of New York" who was a director of the second Bank of the United States (smashed by Andrew Jackson!) The Bank worked to make its "convertible" notes inconvertible by requiring presentation of notes of branches at branches most distant! Astor’s American Fur Company that defrauded native tribes and its own trappers was part of the British opium trade in China http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Jacob_Astor That’s who Astoria, Oregon is named for! Astor’s fortune swelled to a Himalayan scale within several years after he and his British associates caused the Panic of 1837 by suspending specie redemption of major banks! Vincent Astor’s widow, Brooke, who became one of the few female Pilgrims Society members, was a trustee of Rockefeller University (Who’s Who, 1980, page 118) and a member of Mrs. Lyndon Johnson’s Beautification Committee in D.C. We are prompted to remember how LBJ subtracted from the beautification of our coinage. As of the leaked 1980 list, five Astors were members of The Pilgrims of Great Britain, with Lord Astor as president. A member of the Royal Thames Yacht Club and the Jekyll Island Club (of Federal Reserve infamy), Vincent Astor was a director of Chase National Bank; International Mercantile Marine Company; Western Union; Great Northern Railway; City & Suburban Homes; U.S. Trust of New York; and (why go through a list as long as your forearm) the New York Chamber of Commerce, an anti-silver money organization (see for example The Forum Magazine, December 1891, pages 472 through 476). Guilt by association? In this case, 100% absolutely correct. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_Astor his grandmother Caroline Astor "reigned over American society." Vincent and FDR were boyhood friends; Vincent married a Roosevelt relative in 1940! Far from being an enemy of Wall Street, FDR was one of them and took orders from those greater than himself. We’ll see more on these Astors later! Could Astor have been a cause of FDR’s metals theft? "History of the Great American Fortunes" (1936) discussed immense frauds executed by the Astors from pages 93 to 175!

According to http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/node/616 Vincent Astor "INHERITED PROPERTY ALL OVER MANHATTAN THAT TODAY WOULD PROBABLY BE WORTH OVER A HUNDRED BILLION."

The link also mentions that Vincent Astor and Franklin Roosevelt were distant cousins.

FDR and his extended family have seen extensive interaction with Pilgrims Society members; they’ve been trustees of Roosevelt Hospital (Bayard Dominick II, governor of the New York Stock Exchange and associate of Avery Rockefeller Jr., Pilgrims Society, late 1950’s; there are many examples such as Stuart Crocker chairman of Columbia Gas System and director of Morgan Guaranty Trust; Ralph T. Reed, chairman of American Express and Francis Plimpton, Ambassador to the United Nations, 1961-1965 and vice president of The Pilgrims Society); directors of Roosevelt Steamship Company, also known as Roosevelt Lines (Hoyt Ammidon, Pilgrims Society, United States Trust Company, 45 Wall Street, right hand man of Vincent Astor, Pilgrims Society); today we notice Thomas L. Pulling, retired Citigroup official on the executive committee of The Pilgrims Society, as a governor of the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute, along with a member of the silver stealing Morgenthau family! Several glaring British connections are noticed with them including Rivington Winant, son of John D. Winant, Pilgrims Society, once Governor of New Hampshire and Ambassador to Britain (1941-1946). Isaac Roosevelt, FDR’s grandfather, started the Bank of New York in 1790; it’s now Bank of New York Mellon, a key Pilgrims Society institution. In the horrifically perverse Roosevelt genealogy including the Delano family of opium dealers we additionally notice William Stoughton, prosecutor and judge of the hideous Salem Witch Trials of 1692-1693, in which nineteen people were hung, another was crushed to death, and still others died in confinement http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Roosevelt,_Sr.

The Commercial & Financial Chronicle, March 30, 1935, page 2104, reported FDR was a guest on Vincent Astor’s yacht “Nourmahal” also featuring His Royal Highness Prince George of The House of Windsor, The Duke of Kent, Pilgrims Society of Great Britain---

The Commercial & Financial Chronicle reported on August 1, 1936, page 672, FDR’s visit with Lord Tweedsmuir, Pilgrims Society, then British Governor General of Canada; with them was Norman Armour, American diplomat in Canada, whose name surfaced in the 1969 leaked list of The Pilgrims as an executive committee member. The Franklin Roosevelt administration has not been chronicled by any establishment historian as a Pilgrims Society administration---to do so would be to forfeit tenure, pensions, grants and book publishing deals!

The outgoing Hoover administration wasn’t in conflict with the incoming FDR administration; Hoover appointed Nicholas Roosevelt United States Minister to Hungary in 1930. The 1928 Who’s Who, page 1796 showed Franklin Roosevelt’s office as 52 Wall Street; he was with Pilgrims Society member John G. Milburn’s law firm, 1907-1910. The 1914 Who’s Who, page 2008, showed FDR was a banker at that time, on the board of First National Bank of Poughkeepsie, New York. FDR’s cousin, George Emlen Roosevelt, almost certainly a member of The Pilgrims Society, and at the start of the FDR administration was a director of Guaranty Trust, French-American Banking, Chemical Bank, assorted railroad and other corporations; and appeared on the Guaranty Trust board with at least half a dozen confirmed Pilgrims Society members interlocking it in spiderweb fashion with many other powerful interests. The New York Times, November 17, 1933, page 2, “Morgan and Taylor Call on Roosevelt” quoted Pilgrims Society member J.P. Morgan Jr. remarking---

“YOU KNOW I CANNOT TELL YOU WHAT I TALKED ABOUT WITH THE PRESIDENT.”

Morgan’s associate in that closed meeting was Myron C. Taylor, Pilgrims Society, member of the anti-silver Bankers Club in Manhattan; chairman of United States Steel; director First National Bank of New York; Mutual Life Insurance; New York Central Railroad; Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway; American Telephone & Telegraph; in 1939 he became FDR’s personal representative with rank of ambassador to the Vatican in Rome until 1950 (an entity which has its own domain and has been in conflict with Britain since 1533) ---



Taylor was a trustee of Cornell University and the American Academy in Rome. Wikipedia says of FDR’s friend Taylor---

“Myron Charles Taylor (January 18, 1874 – May 5, 1959) was one of the major figures in American life during the first half of the twentieth century. He was probably America's leading industrialist and later a key diplomatic figure at the hub of many of the most-important geopolitical events before, during, and after World War II.”

Irving T. Bush (1869-1948), Pilgrims Society, inherited millions from his father and travelled around the world in his yacht “Coronet” in 1888-1889. In spite of his inheritance, he worked for Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Company as of 1890. He started Bush Terminal Company in 1902 with 125 warehouses, 8 piers and 18 buildings up to 30 stories tall covering 30 city blocks in South Brooklyn and recruited over 300 corporate tenants. To this he added a short line railroad and the Bush Building in London, a Pilgrims Society landmark. He was a member of the India House Club and the anti-silver New York State Chamber of Commerce. The New York Times, March 7, 1933, page 2, “Employees Told Not to Hoard” Bush sent a circular to his employees urging them not to hoard money. He had around 25,000 employees http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irving_T._Bush His Pilgrims Society buddies were just then massaging a banking crisis helping their boy Franklin Roosevelt to seize gold from Americans---




Irving Bush, descended from a Dutchman who arrived in North America in 1662, was chairman of Continental Commerce Company, holding original patents on Thomas Edison’s forerunner of modern motion pictures, the kinetoscope, opening the world’s first movie parlor in 1894 in London. He was a large scale operator in the banana importing business, and during World War I chaired the War Board of the Port of New York. He was among the founders in 1922 of Grand Central Art Galleries and was rated among the 40 wealthiest Americans.

When the Bush Building was finished in 1929 in London, it was the world’s most expensive building http://wikimapia.org/17404/Bush-House and has long been headquarters of the British Broadcasting Corporation (Pilgrims Society). Irving Bush wasn’t related to the presidential Bush family (Pilgrims Society). Statues seen below are at entrance to the Bush House in London, representing the mutual world conspiracy of the “Pilgrim Partners” ---

The New York Times, August 15, 1934, page 25, “President Hears Banking Experts” reported George L. Harrison of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York conferred with FDR, who later appointed Harrison, Pilgrims Society, an overseer of the silver using Manhattan Project that developed the atomic bomb. Harrison was in on the decision to deploy it without warning against Japan---



The 1952 Who’s Who, page 1055, shows Harrison a member of The Pilgrims executive committee; a director of First National City Bank; Harper & Brothers Publishers; RCA Corporation; Life Insurance Association of America; Institute of Life Insurance; member New York State Banking Board; trustee Columbia University; Foreign Service Educational Foundation; chairman advisory committee on fiscal and monetary problems to the Economic Cooperation Administration and chairman Interim Policy Committee on Atomic Energy.

I hope this is starting to catch the reader’s interest, as the landmark 312 page summer 2009 item on FDR’s gold and silver seizure was ignored by the gatekeeper of a particular metals organization which evinces that it regards itself (himself) as the top site in the PM universe; yet, nothing distantly comparable has been offered anywhere else. I’ve heard privately from members positive statements about my work; that’s what matters, not personality issues. We should all work together to prevent a second metals nationalization rather than bickering about matters of immeasurably less importance. Actually it would be a PRIVATIZATION because this private (secret) group would be behind it---The Pilgrims Society with their methods of "seizing the wealth necessary" for their neo-British Empire purposes, which includes destruction of potential competitors by means of prevention of capital formation outside the sphere of their influence! Here’s a small example of the content of the Summer 2009 item, 312 pages, "Metals Confiscation Facts And Prospects," from the Commercial & Financial Chronicle---

[img width=600 height=694]http://silverstealers.net/Image35.gif[/img]

By the time frightened Americans had been squeezed of all the silver (gold was seized first) the nationalization had claimed some 113,031,000 ounces of silver! That would be like ordering 113,031 investors (silver savers) today holding 1,000 ounces each to turn it in. No one, not the Silver Users Association or the Treasury, knows just how much silver Americans own today. I believe it’s more than 113MOZ. The bad boys would have a better idea than any of us, but would intentionally overstate the amount. Was all the silver owned by Americans turned in under FDR’s illegal, anti-Jacksonian order? Not at all; however, there is no way to know how much was kept back. While coin silver was exempted then, it would certainly not be exempted if The Pilgrims Society pulls this "seizure of the wealth necessary" stunt again. At the time FDR said the silver was needed in the Treasury so as to form a specified ratio to gold as monetary base for the currency. Yet, as of the very start of his felonious administration in March 1933, Americans couldn’t even retain gold notes, let alone redeem those for hard gold! There is no monetary base if convertibility is denied! Isaac Seligman, charter Pilgrims Society member in 1903, international financier with Rothschild links, had a kid brother named Edwin (1861-1939) who was an economics professor at Columbia University under the tenure of Nicholas Murray Butler, then also president of The Pilgrims United States. Here’s what Edwin had to say about unbacked paper currency (New York Times, November 1, 1933) ---

"Declaring that even a larger issue of paper currency need not cause alarm, Professor Seligman predicts restoration of the nation’s economic equilibrium. In all probability, there will be no uncontrolled inflation, Professor Seligman predicts."

Seligman stated---

"It is true that there may be in store for us a larger issue of paper currency and that, too, before very long. BUT THIS NEED UPSET NO ONE. NOR NEED ANYONE FEAR BUDGETARY INFLATION ON THE GROUND THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS SPENDING HUGE SUMS AND BORROWING THE MONEY TO DO SO."

Nationalize gold and silver, then flood the nation with inflation notes, gradually reducing the middle class to serfdom over a multi-generation period; this has transpired! Professor Seligman, fiat money economist, brother of a Pilgrims Society member (the hidden faction that benefits from inflation) ---



This corrupt professor was president of the anti-silver American Economic Association, 1902-1904; finance consultant to the League of Nations, 1922-1923; and a member of the anti-silver Royal Economic Society.

George Foster Peabody, Pilgrims Society, and Franklin Roosevelt were friends; naturally their views agreed. Peabody was a partner in Spencer, Trask & Company, which played a leading role in financing electric lighting corporations and railroad construction in the West and in Mexico. Peabody held large interests in Edison Electric and became a director of General Electric and many other corporations including Mexican Metallurgical Company, Mexican Lead Company, Mexican Coke & Coal Company, Broadway Realty, and Southern Improvement Company. He was a director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, 1914-1921. He was a trustee of the University of Georgia and treasurer of the Southern Education Board and a director of John D. Rockefeller’s (Pilgrims Society) General Education Board. During 1896-1905 he was treasurer of the Democratic National Committee. The December 10, 1933 New York Times, section II, page 4, "Peabody Defends the President, Declaring Roosevelt Seldom Errs" ---

"During his career in banking and policies, Mr. Peabody added, HE HAD A PART IN DEFEATING BIMETALLISM and reached the conclusion that it is absurd to depend on a metal not possible of expansion or contraction as a standard of value. The banker remarked that he called himself a radical. Mr. Roosevelt has made as few mistakes as any man I’ve heard of."

By "defeating bimetallism" he meant, "excluding silver from the monetary system." By "expansion or contraction" he meant "boom and bust," which is of course a great way for Pilgrims Society financiers to "seize the wealth necessary," as in the October 1929 stock market crash. Pilgrims Society member George Foster Peabody was according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Foster_Peabody "an unofficial counselor to many government officials" (he passed word to them as to what to do) and was on the executive committee of the Indianapolis Monetary Convention of 1897, an anti-silver event, and backed the "Gold Democrats" against silver populist William Jennings Bryan. Peabody, Pilgrims Society silver stealer---



Just after members of The Pilgrims Society of Great Britain wrecked the world economy by demonetizing India’s silver and dumping it on world markets and going off the gold standard in September 1931, members of The Pilgrims Society of the United States moved to seize gold and silver from Americans! They additionally conspired to drive China off its centuries old silver standard, badly damaged by Great Britain’s attack against silver, by means of the Silver Purchase Act of 1934, which while helping American mining interests, sucked so much silver out of China that by November 3, 1935, China abandoned silver money. Huge amounts of silver were still widely dispersed in China, later seized by the Communists, and gradually dumped (leased) onto world markets at the behest of these Pilgrims Society members with their control over the offices of the President and the Secretary of State, and helped along by means of front organizations such as the China-America Council of Commerce & Industry (Thomas J. Watson Sr. of IBM and The Pilgrims Society) and successor organizations including the National Council for U.S./China Trade (William Alexander Hewitt, Pilgrims Society, director Chase Manhattan Bank and A.T. & T. who married into the Deere fortune of agricultural equipment manufacturers) ---



I can’t buy the concept that anyone in China has used JPMorganChase as "dupes" in silver. It’s these Anglo-Americans who are deeply conspiratorial, far more so than "inscrutable Orientals." In any case, it’s our domestic Pilgrims Society members who stand atop the American establishment who we have to be concerned about concerning our metals ownership rights and planned attacks against those rights from excessive taxation to nationalization. Imagine seizing precious assets of fantastic tangible worth and "paying" for those assets in paper credits they have the Federal Reserve conjure out of nothing! IF CERTAIN METALS SITES DON’T LINK THIS, ASK THEM TO SUBORDINATE PERSONALITY ISSUES TO PROPERTY RIGHTS! Remember I have nothing to sell and accept no contributions---this is a 100% nonprofit effort on my part.

James D. Zirin, Wall Street attorney with Sidley Austin LLP (1,600 attorneys), who gave $574,938 to Obama 2008 see www.opensecrets.org is currently on the executive committee of The Pilgrims, New York, served as a United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York under Robert M. Morgenthau, son of this gold and silver stealing Treasury Secretary; Robert Morgenthau grew up knowing Franklin Roosevelt! Robert also was with the Pilgrims Society law firm of Patterson, Belknap & Webb (200 attorneys). Morgenthau recently retired at age 90 as District Attorney of New York County, succeeded by Cyrus Vance Jr., son of Pilgrims Society member Cyrus Vance, Secretary of State, 1977-1980, son in law of John Sloane, another member! Zirin (seen with his wife Marlene Hess of the Amerada Hess oil and gas fortune, previously supervised by Pilgrims Society member William S. Renchard of Chemical Bank) has worked for Merrill Lynch, Citibank and the Rockefeller Foundation and is a member of the executive committee of The Pilgrims Society currently---

John Brisben Walker, who founded Cosmopolitan Magazine in 1889, made some astonishing remarks about the same factions who founded The Pilgrims Society in 1902 and 1903. His comments appeared in the New York Times, February 3, 1931, page 24 in “Silver As A World Problem”---

Of course I've read about the Pilgrims Society before, but this article takes the cake. Wow...

I need time to let this silver story sink in.

[erepsysoulpfbs]

The other half gets posted tomorrow... :sun:

[SonicPs]

Much has been said of Blythe Masters of JPMorganChase being the key string puller in the silver short fraud. It’s troubling enough that she’s from England, but consider also that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blythe_Masters stated her as a director as of May 2010 of the National Dance Institute (what’s that got to do with silver stealers---PLENTY!) At http://cityfile.com/profiles/jenny-morgenthau we see Jenny Morgenthau, granddaughter of Pilgrims Society member, grand scale silver stealer Henry Morgenthau Jr. is an NDI director and also at http://www.nationaldance.org/about_board.htm we notice a Rothschild on the NDI board. In scouting for an image of Blythe, I received a Norton Anti-Virus notice several times that an attack on my computer was blocked! In any event she’s under orders from Jamie Dimon, who I’d bet my last zinc cent is a silver stealing Pilgrims Society member. NDI could provide for contact in an innocuous setting.

There are enough instances of Pilgrims Society members taking actions against silver to establish a decisive pattern of planned intent to cripple silver prices, to destroy silver as currency, to inhibit ownership of gold and silver from the highest official levels, that we will resume showing a procession of these revolting thieves as follows, and it is no complete listing, for in addition to concerns of limitations of readers time, information on who these Pilgrims are remains fragmentary. Leaked lists, a few rare volumes, one instance of Congressional testimony on August 19, 1940 and a few other sources such as Who’s Who volumes are all we have to go on. I am grateful to Mr. Joel Van Der Reijden of the Institute for the Study of Globalization for forwarding to me a 1980 list of The Pilgrims in exchange for the 1969 Pilgrims of Great Britain list I was able to provide to him. He in turn appreciates his quiet source in the U.S. who came across the list and was so thoughtful as to forward it to him. We are hopeful of additional cooperative efforts in times to come. I was mentioned at http://www.mail-archive.com/cia-drug.../msg04649.html ---

"Just before I wanted to upload all the updates, including those done in the 1001 and the Jason Group membership lists, Charles Savoie, the No. 1 Pilgrims Society researcher, decided to share some new info he had come across. One of those things is this simple (quite amusing) New York Daily News gossip article, which confirms the membership of Richard C. Holbrooke and Peter G. Peterson. As you can see in my intro article, I have long suspected Peterson of being a Pilgrims Society member. Talk about having some good luck."

If you ask me, Van Der Reijden is the number 1; so, by such examples, may the metals community make their goals the primary importance, rather than personality contests or popularity rankings. Peterson is possibly David Rockefeller’s single most important functionary. I offer $5,000 for any Pilgrims list dated 2000 or more recently, subject to verification by genealogy, institutional, corporate and diplomatic connections. We need to know who the high Crown agents are currently in North America. This is no incitement to any illegal act; you will be asked how you came by the document! The most appropriate means to obtain the list is by Congressional subpoena, since the organization is not cooperative. Let them refuse and be held in contempt of Congress! This is the best route to follow; otherwise the incentive stands.

Sir Henry Strakosch, Pilgrims of Great Britain and chairman of Union Corporation of South Africa, gold miners, starting in 1924, was a member of the Royal Commission on Indian Currency and Finance that recommended India’s silver be demonetized and the country switched to a fake gold standard, under which only persons holding the equivalent of over $8,000 U.S. in paper rupees could exchange them for gold. China Weekly Review Nov 15, 1930, page 395 stated---

“THE BRITISH HAVE TAKEN STEPS TO PREVENT THE NATIVES FROM HOARDING GOLD and thus draining empire vaults. INDIAN CURRENCY IS REDEEMABLE IN GOLD BUT ONLY IN LARGE AMOUNTS. IF ONE HAS $8,000 IN PAPER MONEY HE CAN GO TO THE BANK AND GET ITS EQUIVALENT IN GOLD. BUT NOT MANY INDIANS ARE LIKELY TO ACCUMULATE AS MUCH AS $8,000.”



The Mining Congress Journal, September 1930, page 681, reported that the British Empire controlled 71.4 percent of world gold output; undoubtedly in their rationale for attacking silver!

Strakosch was a member of the anti-silver Stable Money Association, along with silver user George Eastman of Eastman-Kodak!

Hilton Young, the first Baron Kennet, Pilgrims Society, headed the Royal Commission---



Baron Kennet later chaired the Iraq Currency Board going into World War II, had railroad, real estate and timber interests, joined the boards of English Electric and Hudson’s Bay Company and was a friend of funny money economist John Maynard Keynes, who testified before the Royal Commission that silver was no longer needed---



The report of the Royal Commission on Indian Currency and Finance was submitted to Lord Irwin, then British Viceroy of India, who proceeded to oversee the melting and dumping of Indian silver rupees on the world market by the hundreds of millions of ounces, crashing the silver price to an all time historical low of 24.5 cents per ounce in February 1931, triggering the Great Depression by wiping out the majority of the buying power of India and the Far East and China, to whom American industry could no longer export goods, throwing millions of workers out of jobs and into the freezing cold in wintertime, forcing Mexican silver mine workers to choose banditry as the only alternative to starvation after their government couldn’t send in enough corn they could subsist on, inciting the murder of American silver mine owners by laid off workers (New York Times, June 3, 1930, page 32) AND CAUSING INTENTIONAL SEVERE DAMAGE TO SILVER HOLDERS AND MINERS ALL OVER THE WORLD---



"ENGLAND HAS CAUSED THIS HAVOC TO THE WORLD’S FINANCES"

"SILVER MINERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD ARE BADLY HIT"

---China Weekly Review, January 17, 1931, page 244.

"NONE KNEW BETTER THAN ENGLISHMEN THAT SILVER AS THE PEOPLE’S MONEY WAS BEING RUINED"

---letter to New York Times, September 14, 1932, page 20.

Lord Irwin (above), Grand Commander of the Star of India, became The Earl of Halifax and was president of The Pilgrims of Great Britain, 1950-1958. The first Earl of Halifax, 1661-1715, became Lord of the Treasury in 1692 and according to Wikipedia "the national debt originated from his proposal;" he introduced the bill creating the Bank of England in 1694 and became Chancellor of the Exchequer. Sir Basil Blackett, Pilgrims of Great Britain, authored "Planned Money" (1932) and was a director of De Beers Consolidated Diamond Mines and the Bank of England. He was a member of the Anglo-French Financial Commission and an earlier Royal Commission on Indian Finance and Currency, 1913-1914, which paved the way for the sabotage against silver done by the successor commission in 1925-1926.

“Responsibility for the lowered value of silver is blamed by Reed Smoot, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee upon “a great power,” which he did not name.”---New York Times, October 1, 1930, page 28

“The fact that the British Government for India had SEVERAL HUNDRED MILLION OUNCES THAT IT MIGHT DUMP ON THE MARKETS OF THE WORLD NOT ONLY REDUCED THE PRICE OF SILVER ONE-HALF BUT, BY ITS THREAT TO FURTHER INDEFINITELY REDUCE SUCH PRICE, DESTROYED ITS VALUE FOR CREDIT. The result was inevitable. PANIC EXISTS AMONG MORE THAN HALF THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD WHOSE BUYING POWER IS MEASURED SOLELY IN SILVER. It has cut in two the purchasing power of China, Mexico, South America, Asia and several European countries. It has made credit transactions with such silver using countries practically impossible. The reaction has been felt throughout the world.”

New York Times, December 7, 1930, section III, pages 1-2

“Minister Kung Recommends Adoption of Gold Standard---Kuo Min News Agency---Nanking, January 15, 1930---Peace and general security throughout the country so as to give impetus to trade and industry in the fundamental and most effective measure for relieving the present financial crisis in consequence of the declining silver market, Dr. H.H. Kung, Minister of Industry, Commerce and Labor, said at a press interview today. Minister Kung further stated that the Government had been informed that CERTAIN UNSCRUPULOUS MANIPULATORS IN SHANGHAI HAD BEEN PURPOSEFULLY UPSETTING THE SILVER MARKET FOR PERSONAL GAINS and the report is now under investigation so that the culprits may be properly dealt with.”

(Kung was another version of Charlie Soong, Kung’s father in law (1863-1918), the first international student at Duke University, endowed by charter Pilgrims Society member Benjamin Duke of the American Tobacco Company fortune; Duke Energy, a giant utility, is their fortune’s cornerstone today; later Soong transferred to Vanderbilt University, site of the anti-silver American Economic Association. One of Soong’s sons became chairman of the Bank of Canton. The World Money Power, preparatory to destroying China’s silver system installed its agents in key positions.)

There was no problem of British India deluging world markets with silver in order to wreck prices! The profiteers referred to in Shanghai---what was the problem with them---were they long silver? Kung was a Yale University graduate---same effect as Soong coming from Harvard. Kung became Minister of Finance, 1933-1944; Premier of the Chinese Republic, 1938-1939; and governor of the China Central Bank, 1933-1945. And guess what! Kung was Soong’s brother in law! H.H. Kung, betrayer of his people to anti-silver Western banking interests of The Pilgrims Society, who in 1935 as head of the Chinese central bank prohibited the circulation of silver dollars AND BANNED PRIVATE OWNERSHIP OF SILVER and then the “Pinyin” was issued, a fiat paper note meaning “legal tender”)--

[HaremShaih]

The April 5, 1931 China Weekly Review, page 164 noted---

“Even in 1930 when silver had reached the then all-time low of 34 cents an ounce, BRITISH INDIA UNDER SUCH POLICY THREW ON AN ALREADY SATURATED MARKET 29,500,000 OUNCES OF SILVER. THE LAST THREAD OF CONFIDENCE AND HOPE IN THE MINDS OF THE PEOPLE OF THE SILVER USING COUNTRIES WAS BROKEN AND SPECULATORS IN ALL COUNTRIES COMMENCED TO DUMP SILVER ON THE MARKET.”

Sir Philip Sassoon, Pilgrims Society, whose mother was Caroline Rothschild, inherited a massive fortune founded in the British opium trade, in which the drug grown in India was sent into China, which caused the two Opium Wars; payment for the drug was demanded in silver; in one large scale incident of violence, British forces opened fire after payment in silver was made, when their assurance was given to not attack if the silver was delivered (See “Silver Users And Opium” at Silver Investor Archives) also http://inpursuitofhappiness.wordpres...on-opium-wars/ and http://lyndonlarouche.org/larouche-british5.pdf and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sassoon_family I would have phrased some accounts differently in places; however the actual facts stand as is---the Sassoons dealt in tens of thousands of chests of opium! (Weight unknown but considerable). The New York Daily News, October 15, 1858 made reference to the "Parliamentary Blue Book" which claimed that British export-import trade with just the two cities of Canton and Shanghai, for the years 1844 through 1856, amounted to more than 437,700,000 pounds sterling, a truly fantastic sum; this, from the people who today control the world's money system! British opium “exports” into China peaked in 1880 with 105,580 chests! The Sassoons were not alone in that filthy, murderous business, as we will see later! Family entities included the Sassoon Banking Company of China & London; Eastern Bank; Bank of China; Imperial Bank of Persia; Bank of China & Japan; British Burma Petroleum and others. T.V. Soong, son of Charlie Soong’s sellout banker family we just read about was the Sassoon agent running the Bank of China. We can only guess at the immense amounts of silver sucked out of China during the opium trade and how they were used to depress silver valuations; instead of blaming Comstock Lode silver for the Panic of 1893, it could actually have been British opium silver that was the source of asserted oversupply; the main cause was coordinated banker whipsawing of the financial system, which they and their pet economists then blamed on silver! The Pilgrims of Great Britain leaked list, 1980, shows The Duke of Leinster, a Sassoon relation. The Wikipedia entry on Sir Philip Sassoon has no mention of his opium and silver fortune---



This organization, The Pilgrims Society, known to so few outsiders, has dragged the world towards fiat currencies, destabilized silver and gold as money, annihilated the finances of billions, and will stop at nothing till its goal is realized; and what is that? To be able to say and have carried out things such as “I WANT THAT MAN KILLED” and “BRING THAT WOMAN TO ME;” absolute power, that’s all the dignified bastards want! Review the following quotations and be convinced as to their war on monetary silver---

“The natural law of supply and demand, reasonably constant over a period of a century, WAS THROWN INTO CHAOS BY THE SILVER DELUGE, AND FALLING PRICES ROBBED WITHIN A YEAR ONE HALF OF THE HUMAN RACE OF ONE HALF OF THEIR WEALTH AND THEIR PURCHASING POWER.”

---Nevada Senator Key Pittman, China Weekly Review, January 31, 1931, page 318

“BUT THE WORST IS YET TO COME, BECAUSE THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT FOR INDIA STILL HAS SEVERAL HUNDRED MILLION OUNCES OF SILVER MONEY THAT IT INTENDS TO CAST UPON THE MARKET OF THE WORLD IN THE FORM OF BULLION. THE MARKET CANNOT CONSUME IT. THERE IS NOT A DEMAND FOR IT, AND SUCH A THREAT WILL HOLD DOWN THE PRICE OF SILVER AND IF CARRIED OUT MAY ABSOLUTELY DESTROY ITS VALUE AS A MEASURE OF WEALTH, AS MONEY, AND AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR THE CARRYING ON OF TRADE AND COMMERCE.”---CWR, January 31, 1931, page 336

Nevada Senator Key Pittman, in the China Weekly Review, January 31, 1931, page 336, stated---

“THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT FOR INDIA BY ITS POLICY HAS STRUCK DOWN THE WEALTH OF INDIA AND DESTROYED THE PURCHASING POWER OF ITS SUBJECTS. It has not only injured its own subjects but it has equally and in the same manner destroyed the purchasing power of China, South America, Mexico, and every silver using country in the world. This has disastrously reduced the export trade of the United States and every other country. The producers of silver, although a small group by comparison with all of the other groups affected, have suffered even more deeply than the producers of other commodities. MINES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD HAVE BEEN COMPELLED TO CLOSE, ADDING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF IDLE MEN TO THE HORDE OF UNEMPLOYED.”

“EFFORTS WERE MADE TO INDUCE THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT FOR INDIA TO MODIFY SUCH POLICY, BUT SUCH EFFORTS FAILED.”---China Weekly Review, January 31, 1931, page 336

“THE PROGRAM OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT FOR INDIA HAS BEEN DESTRUCTIVE OF THE WEALTH, PURCHASING POWER AND PROSPERITY NOT ONLY OF THE PEOPLE OF INDIA BUT OF EVERY COUNTRY THAT USES SILVER FOR MONEY AND INJURIOUS TO THE PROSPERITY OF THE WORLD.”---Nevada Silver Senator Key Pittman, China Weekly Review, April 4, 1931, page 164

“A LARGE NUMBER OF CHINESE ARE FORCED TO LOOT TO LIVE.”---Senator Key Pittman, China Weekly Review, April 5, 1931, page 164

In Foreign Affairs, publication of the Council On Foreign Relations (CFR, direct unofficial subsidiary of The Pilgrims Society), flunky Herbert B. Elliston, in “The Silver Problem,” April 1931, pages 441-456 vomited out the following banker blather---

“The history of the demonetization of silver goes back over a hundred years. IT HAS MARCHED HAND IN HAND WITH THE IMPROVEMENT OF LIVING STANDARDS.”

Scum economists like Elliston have no scruples as to lying; we already saw that the silver demonetization of 1873 “caused millions of deaths” by starvation! He had no gripe over the British suspending conversion of paper rupee notes into silver! In America, the unemployed relied on soup kitchens to subsist---




Another convincer of Pilgrims Society attacks on silver causing joblessness---



After the 1918 unrest over note redemption, British military presence in India was increased so as to be able to screw silver over! Elliston, while at the CFR, worked for John W. Davis, president of the CFR, 1921-1933. Davis, Pilgrims Society member, was Solicitor General of the United States, 1913-1918, arguing for the government at the Supreme Court; and was Ambassador to England, 1918-1921, during which time he helped implement the Pittman Act of 1918, providing his “Pilgrim Partners” with 200 million ounces of silver so they could maintain control over British India. Davis was chief counsel to J.P. Morgan & Company, trustee Rockefeller Foundation and director of American Telephone & Telegraph. His firm was Davis, Polk & Wardwell, which today “works with many of the leading companies of the world” http://www.davispolk.com/firm/ The boss of anti-silver activist Herb Elliston, John W. Davis, was the 1924 Democrat candidate for President---



As of the 1952 Who’s Who, page 736, Elliston was a member of the CFR and the Cosmos Club in D.C. plus the anti-silver Royal Economic Society and the anti-silver American Economic Association and was editor of the Washington Post with a Pulitzer Prize in 1949.

Silver certificate redemption was halted in summer 1968; in India the British squashed it over 37 years earlier!

“The British Government of India commenced selling silver in 1927. BY THE END OF MARCH 1931 APPROXIMATELY 101,000,000 OUNCES HAD BEEN SOLD.” Page 811 Asia Magazine December 1931

The Pan American Union had a more accurate tally---

“Silver in the West and the East,” Bulletin of the Pan American Union at Washington, D.C., December 1932, page 835 reported---

“Sales commenced in 1927 and by March 31, 1932, 127,584,564 ounces of silver had been sold. CLEARLY, THIS INJURED THE PRICE OF SILVER.”

The feature noted that from 1900 inclusive through 1929, 863.4MOZ was used for coinage in British India; recall that at least 200MOZ of that came via the Pittman Act of 1918. The same Bulletin, December 1932, page 847 commented---

“SILVER HAS COME UPON EVIL DAYS, AND ITS FUTURE IS SURROUNDED BY UNCERTAINTY.”

Silver leasing or silver dumping has certainly been around for many, many years. According to a former ambassador to Germany, the British dumped 640,000,000 silver ounces out of India, causing an 80% drop in purchasing power of silver currency countries (NYT, October 9, 1931, page 16). The exact figure will never be known and the 640MOZ figure could be overblown, but it was more than ample to achieve British plans to drive the world closer to full fiat. Before the dumping out of India started, silver was 65 cents an ounce. The fall in silver valuations caused the Great Depression. The crash of the U.S. stock market in October 1929 was just another blow on the way down, caused by a sudden tightening of credit on the part of the British linked central bank. With over half the world’s people on a silver basis, their use of silver as money was struck at hard by the appalling British conspiracy. People in many nations were thrown out of work because silver using people’s ability to pay had been sabotaged. Of course this also wrecked their basis for use of silver as credit. The NYT, May 30, 1931, page 2---

“In spite of a request by the United States Senate that the President take steps to call an international conference to consider the silver problem, the administration has, for reasons that are undoubtedly well considered, taken no action.”

For reasons that are undoubtedly Pilgrims Society related, Hoover took no action!

Sir Austen Chamberlain, Pilgrims Society of Great Britain, was Foreign Secretary, 1924-1929 and backed the Royal Commission’s recommendations---this was the same Austen Chamberlain who as Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1920 shoveled 70 million ounces of silver onto world markets for price suppression purposes (The Times, London, January 15, 1931, page 18). The silver came from Britain’s coinage debasement from .925 to .500 silver content as of 1920---

"WE HAVE FOLLOWED A POLICY THAT HAD FOR ITS PURPOSE THE DESTRUCTION OF SILVER VALUES."

---New York Times, April 23, 1933, section 2, page 7.

The Earl of Birkenhead was Secretary of State for India, and backed Lord Irwin. Birkenhead, Pilgrims Society, was described as "SOMEONE TO BE AVOIDED AS AN ENEMY" on page 166 of the rare (Hutchinson & Company, London) volume "Pilgrims And Pioneers" (1946) by Sir Harry Brittain, a founder of The Pilgrims Society. The Earl of Birkenhead, seen below in his earlier post as Lord Chancellor in medieval accoutrements, played his role in causing the boundless misery of The Great Depression by smashing the silver money systems of India and China---



"BRITISH MANIPULATION OF SILVER HAS CAUSED GREAT HARM."

---S.R. Bomanji, Indian silver leader, New York Times, May 7, 1931, page 19.

According to a New York Times article, May 6, 1931, page 15, S.R. Bomanji, Indian delegate to the International Chamber of Commerce and representative in London of the Indian Chamber of Commerce---

“ENGLAND MOST CERTAINLY HAS DEFRAUDED INDIA.”

“THE ENTIRE BUSINESS MACHINERY OF CHINA IS IN CHAOS.”—China Weekly Review, January 11, 1930, page 200

“SILVER HAS REACHED THE LOWEST POINT IN HISTORY WITH THE RESULT THAT THOUSANDS OF CHINESE AND FOREIGN CONCERNS WERE RUINED.”---China Weekly Review, January 25, 1930, page 271

“THE CONTINUING DOWNWARD TREND OF SILVER PRICES CONSTITUTES A GRAVE MENACE TO WORLD TRADE. Silver in world markets is at the lowest price in history. No industry is suffering more from declining price levels than is the nonferrous metal mining industry. We have advocated the calling of an international conference on silver by those countries which produce four fifths of the world’s silver---Peru, Bolivia, Mexico, Canada and the United States.”---Mining Congress Journal, April 1930, page 284

“THE SILVER MARKET IS AN ABSOLUTE CLOSED MONOPOLY AS IT IS NOW CONDUCTED, CONTROLLED BY LONDON. BUT IT IS FREQUENTLY SAID BY SILVER PRODUCERS THAT THIS IS AN ARBITRARY EXERCISE OF THE MONOPOLISTIC CONTROL OF NEW YORK.”---Colorado Congressman William R. Eaton speaking in the House of Representatives, May 1, 1930 (New York Times, May 11, 1930, section III, page 5).

Both beliefs applied---London and New York, each having branches of a nearly unknown two part organization of mega-thieves who “seize the wealth necessary,” have suppressed silver for generations!

“THE FACT IS THAT A FOOLISH DUMPING POLICY IN INDIA IS DISRUPTING THE MONETARY SYSTEM OF HALF THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD AND ADDING TO THE STAGNATION OF TRADE EVERYWHERE. THAT IS THE DIRECT CAUSE OF THE WORLD DEPRESSION. THIS DUMPING AND THREAT OF UNLIMITED DUMPING DOES NOT ONLY CUT IN TWO THE BUYING POWER OF HALF THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, BUT IT HAS DESTROYED THE CREDIT OF EVERY SILVER USING PEOPLE.”---Nevada Senator Key Pittman, New York Times, May 18, 1931, page 12

The NYT, July 10, 1928, page 32, “French Lose On Silver,” subtitled “Government Will Pay but 40 Cents on Dollar for Demonetized Coins” noted---

“Paris---The silver coins hoarded for years by French peasants in their proverbial woolen socks will not be redeemed at par, but at two-fifths of their pre-war value. The Government has fixed the ratio, effective next Monday, for the silver pieces which have been demonetized under the stabilization bill, the value being set on the basis of the bullion value.”

(The lowered bullion value was attributable 100% to the British dumping silver out of India that started over a year before that---and to no other cause! You can be sure that the authors of the stabilization bill knew what was taking place; maybe many of them even approved of it!)

“Consequently, FRENCHMEN WHO DID NOT TRUST BANKS, THINKING THAT ANY HARD MONEY WAS ALWAYS WORTH PAR, WILL GET ONLY FORTY CENTS ON THE DOLLAR FOR THEIR SILVER COINS.”

(Sick tricks such as this won’t work today---there isn’t any silver of any magnitude left to dump. Even if all the metal in Barclay’s ETF “seeped” out into the market, with more investors realizing the best silver is that which they privately hold, it couldn’t dent the price by too much for very long. It could frighten out the uninformed, however!)

The NYT, September 16, 1928, page 17, “France Gets Hoarded Gold,” subtitled, “97 Tons of it and 500 Tons of Silver Have Been Turned in by Peasants” revealed---

“Paris—(AP)—Five hundred tons of silver coins have been turned into the French Treasury since stabilization of the franc was decreed, and Premier Poincare announced that the silver 1, 2 and 5 franc pieces were NO LONGER LEGAL TENDER. Ninety-seven tons of gold coin likewise have found their way into the coffers of the Treasury. Bank officials say that the peasant hoarders prefer gold to silver and must still have billions of gold francs buried in their gardens and cellars.”

The December 24, 1929 NYT, page 23 stated---

“Although it is expected that it will be many years before silver is abandoned as a monetary unit, reports have been current in banking circles that France may insist on the gold standard for Indo-China.”

What we find in French Indochina (what we now know as Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, which colonial empire ended in 1954) were coins of zinc; copper; nickel; and aluminum http://art-hanoi.com/collection/iccoins/1943.html

However, as regards the opium trade in those areas, silver was still demanded as payment and was called the opium tael http://art-hanoi.com/collection/iccoins/tael.html

The December 22, 1930 NYT, page 30, shows the corrupting British influence in French financial circles---

“It is also believed that any concerted plan in the direction of supporting silver would mean reversion to the bimetallic theory, WHICH NO LONGER HAS ANY SUPPORT IN FRANCE, AND WHICH IS CONSIDERED, IN VIEW OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS OF THE PERIOD, TO BE AN ABSURDITY.”

(Silver had huge support in France, but not among the corrupted, infiltrated, bought-off leadership. Adverse financial conditions of the period were caused by demonetization of silver. Then the crooks blamed the victim for the crime!) Yes, any bankers anywhere would be tempted to act against hard money, even had Britain never existed. It would take another essay to discuss the Latin Monetary Union, which lasted from 1865 to 1927 (when Great Britain’s silver attack intensified). These nations used silver and gold coins for currency and included Belgium; Italy; Switzerland; Austria; Greece; Bulgaria; Romania; Serbia; Montenegro; Venezuela; San Marino; Vatican State; and France.)

“Silver Reaches A New Low Level,” China Weekly Review, March 8, 1930, page 49---

“Exchange, by which is meant the price of silver in terms of gold, and vice versa which has always been one of the main points of business in China has during recent months become a matter of much more than ordinary importance, owing to the continued decline of the price of silver. Now on top of a still further decline there have come sudden jerks upwards and downwards, so that businessmen, importers, exporters, brokers and bankers, are kept keyed up to high tension, not knowing from moment to moment what is likely to happen next.”

“The price of bar silver dropped to 19.125 pence per ounce in London, March 1. THIS WAS THE LOWEST PRICE EVER REACHED SINCE RECORDS HAVE BEEN KEPT. In Shanghai where all imports and exports have to go through an exchange transaction, and where in addition there is huge speculation in gold bars, the rates for a short time went so low that a gold dollar was worth a little more than three Mexican dollars. THE SUDDEN DROP WAS ATTRIBUTED TO THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT INDIA DECIDED TO LEVY A TAX ON SILVER.“

Lord Arthur Salter, Pilgrims Society of Great Britain, member of Parliament who became Baron Salter of Kidlington in 1953, opposed silver as money and argued against an international silver conference ("The Silver Problem," Political Science Quarterly, September 1931)---



"IT IS MONSTROUS THE WAY YOU HAVE DEPRESSED THE PRICE OF SILVER."

---Journal of Political Science, September 1931, page 329.

Lord James Stanhope, the 13th Earl of Chesterfield, son in law of the 6th Marquess of Sligo, who became leader of the House of Lords, was another Pilgrims Society member atop the British establishment who had icy feelings against monetary silver. He owned a 145 room estate. The Times, London, December 8, 1932, page 7, had this to say---

“LORD STANHOPE SAID THE GOVERNMENT DID NOT THINK BIMETALLISM WAS OF SUFFICIENT IMPORTANCE TO BE PLACED IN THE FOREFRONT OF MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE WORLD ECONOMIC CONFERENCE.”

The Commercial & Financial Chronicle, December 10, 1932, page 3954, “British House of Lords Bars Bi-Metalism Move, Blocks Attempt to Put Issue Up to World Economic Conference” reported Lord Stanhope making a declaration that “if we could get 1,000,000,000 ounces of silver out of China and India” letting slip British intentions to continue silver dumping so prices could be managed at low levels, in their effort to discredit silver as money!


Silver suppressor Lord Stanhope had his way, as the 1933 World Economic Conference, summer 1933, held in London at the Geological Museum, was a Pilgrims Society farce benefitting The Money Power at dear cost of grief and poverty to the world (a subject for a whole other extensive research, for which I have tons of info and little time) ---

Below, Pilgrims Society member Andrew Mellon, revealed in Congressional proceedings to be a heavy holder of shares in more than 300 corporations and whose property (source—Texas Congressman Wright Patman) was alleged to be "EQUAL TO THE ENTIRE VALUE OF ALL THE PROPERTY IN THE STATE OF TEXAS" (mentioned in book, cover of which is seen later on), as Treasury Secretary 1921-1932 acted as a silver suppressor! Mellon was the only man to hold off the Rockefellers in oil (Gulf Oil) and J.P. Morgan in steel (with Union Sharon Steel). The New York Times, March 9, 1926, page 36, reported that Secretary Mellon rebuffed pleas from American miners that the Treasury comply with the balance of silver purchases at $1 per ounce provided for in the Pittman Act of 1918, cheating miners out of $14 million in revenues ( a major sum in those days)---

[img width=600 height=876]http://silverstealers.net/Image47.jpg[/img]

While Ambassador to Britain 1932-1933, Mellon refused to ask England to mollify its attacks on the silver price! He was chairman of the War Finance Corporation and is known to have reaped colossal profits from World War I. From The Times, London---



The Mining Congress Journal, November 1929, page 912 reported the American Silver Producers Association lost its lawsuit to force the government to complete its agreed silver purchases under the 1918 Pittman Act. 15 million ounces at $1 per ounce was in arrears; the Treasury refused to honor the remaining provisions of the Act when the world price was falling to well under half that level, thanks to British actions in India; and a corrupt Supreme Court led by Pilgrims Society member William H. Taft upheld the Treasury Department against the miners. The Wikipedia entry on decisions handed down by the Taft Supreme Court censored that fact out of its enumeration. William H. Taft, 1857-1930, was tapped for Skull & Bones Society at Yale, as was his younger brother, Henry W. Taft; both became Pilgrims Society members, the senior and by far the more powerful society. See the admission by Henry Taft on page 2521 of the 1940 Who’s Who. The elder Taft was Governor of the Philippines, 1901-1903, which we took after the Spanish-American War; he was Secretary of War, 1904-1908; previously he was Solicitor General of the United States, who represents the Government at the Supreme Court, 1890-1892; as a Federal judge in 1893 he ruled in favor of Mellon’s aluminum trust; he became President of the United States, 1909-1913, supporting the Federal Reserve Act into and fighting for the 16th Amendment inflicting the Income Tax on Americans. In 1920 William Taft became the first president of the English Speaking Union of the United States, a Crown organization always run by Pilgrims Society members whose function is to make English the universal language in a world government. In 1910 Taft appointed Charles Evans Hughes to the Supreme Court, who succeeded him as Chief Justice in 1930 and also became a silver suppressing Pilgrims Society member---



The Times, London, January 1, 1929, page 18 reported---

“In the summer the Supreme Court at Washington rejected the application of the American Silver Producers Association to compel the United States Treasury to purchase 14,500,000 ounces still remaining under the Pittman Act. IT IS VERY IMPROBABLE THIS PURCHASE WILL EVER TAKE PLACE.”

The Mining Congress Journal, March 1929, page 239, reported that a preliminary judge, Wendell Stafford, gave his opinion that the silver producers “did not have sufficient interest to bring the suit.” I wish I could have been there to tell the judge he didn’t have sufficient interest to summon firefighters if his house were ablaze. The deck was stacked; Stafford was a member of the Cosmos Club in D.C., a network organization.

"NEWS THAT BRITISH ARE UNWILLING TO END SILVER DUMPING BY INDIA ADDS TO DEPRESSION."

---New York Times, February 14, 1931, page 24.

The 1897-1942 Who Was Who in America, page 828, Mellon was "chairman ex-officio Federal Reserve Board, Farm Loan Board, U.S. Section of Pan American High Commission, also director U.S. Railroad Administration and member board Reconstruction Finance Corporation." The RFC’s gold dealings would make for an extensive investigation!

United States Secretary of State, 1925-1929 Frank B. Kellogg, Pilgrims Society, had no issue with British actions in silver; he called silver "unsound money" (New York Times, December 12, 1933, page 2) and that it represented "inflation" (New York Times, December 4, 1933, page2) ---



Kellogg, a former Senator and Ambassador to England and president of the American Bar Association 1912-1913, became a justice of the globalist World Court, 1930-1935.

In the Mining Congress Journal, September 1930, Francis Brownell, chairman of American Smelting and Refining, had an article, “The Silver Situation.” Let’s read some of his comments---

“The fall in the price of silver of nearly 15 cents per ounce during the spring of 1930 caused rapidly increasing demoralization, particularly in China and Mexico. Mexico and other silver countries experienced a disastrous effect from the fall in the price of silver. The purchasing power of all silver countries became seriously impaired and their ability to acquire commodities of the United States and European countries substantially lessened.” (page 677)

What was behind the collapse in the silver price at that time? Reading Brownell further we find---

“In 1926, a Royal Commission on India’s monetary system recommended that India go to a gold exchange standard and gradually sell on the open market the excess stocks of silver, consisting of several hundred million ounces then owned by the Indian government. At the time of publication of that report in the summer of 1926, silver was selling at about 65 cents per ounce. A RAPID FALL IN THE PRICE FOLLOWED, and in December of the same year the price averaged less than 53 and a half cents. For a time after the War, when confidence in the monies of European nations had been so greatly destroyed, it seemed possible that a greater use of silver for monetary purposes would be necessary. BUT WHEN THE ROYAL COMMISSION’S REPORT BECAME KNOWN, THIS TENDENCY STOPPED. The European nations either greatly reduced or entirely abandoned the use of silver for subsidiary coinage.”

The entire upper echelons of the British establishment were arrayed against silver as money; and remains so!



"Neville Chamberlain, Chancellor of the Exchequer, said HE DID NOT THINK ANY USEFUL PURPOSE WOULD BE SERVED BY CALLING AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SILVER." ---Pilgrims Society member Chamberlain, World Money Power spokesman, quoted in New York Times, November 18, 1931, page 11

The same dismal resistance to an international silver conference---to remedy the price collapse in silver intentionally caused by the British establishment (as always, Pilgrims Society members), was encountered from Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald (below, the truculent looking conspirator). The April 23, 1933 New York Times, page 27, noted "THE STRANGE COINCIDENCE OF MR. MACDONALD’S VISIT WITH AMERICA’S DEPARTURE FROM GOLD."

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abe_Bailey Sir Abe Bailey, 1864-1940, was an associate of Cecil Rhodes and "became one of the world’s wealthiest men" due to seizing diamond bearing lands in Rhodesia. The Times, London, August 24, 1931, page 12 had Bailey making this bizarre mercenary statement---

"I am surprised to see responsible statesmen advocating the remonetization of silver, which would add very little to currency AND IS A FORM OF CONFISCATION AND REPUDIATION."

The Commercial & Financial Chronicle of December 10, 1932 page 3954 quoted Montana silver Senator Burton K. Wheeler stating--- “GREAT BRITAIN WOULD NOT AGREE TO MAKING SILVER A UNIVERSAL CURRENCY BASE.”

Striking out from London like an octopus that strangles!

Hidden financial alliances, danger that entangles!

Working secretly to take our silver away!

WHAT ARE THESE BANKER LOWLIFES PLANNING TODAY?

The 11th Marquess of Lothian, Philip Henry Kerr, who was British Ambassador to Washington in 1939-1940, was another Pilgrims Society member. As Undersecretary of State for India in 1931-1932 his input went into dumping silver out of British India onto world markets, killing silver values and attacking it as money in order to lead the world down hell’s road towards full fiat---

"HUGE DECREASES IN THE WORLD’S TRADE ARE DUE TO THE DROP IN THE PRICE OF SILVER."

---El Economista, Mexico City, quoted in the New York Times, March 10, 1931, page 12.

Secretary of State, Pilgrims Society member Henry L. Stimson (below) quoted in the New York Times, June 4, 1932, page 5, declared---

"I HAVE NOT FELT THAT THE CALLING OF A CONFERENCE ON SILVER BY THE UNITED STATES WOULD SERVE ANY USEFUL PURPOSE."

It’s as if what Neville Chamberlain and Henry Stimson said to squelch a world silver conference was scripted for them by a Rothschild or a Rockefeller or a Windsor or Astor or some such! Yes, within The Pilgrims Society there exists a hard inner core of globalists, the others being their lieutenants, functionaries and tag-alongs! Stimson---




"THE PURCHASING POWER OF OVER 800,000,000 PEOPLE WAS SUDDENLY AND DRASTICALLY LOWERED BY GOVERNMENTAL ACTION IN REGARD TO SILVER."

---New York Times, May 11, 1931, page 2. It was Britain’s attack against silver money that caused the Great Depression! Yet we still see alleged experts in precious metals commentary carelessly stating that the stock market crash of October 1929 was the cause, when in fact it was a mere secondary causative agent! Please do your historical homework before parroting statements propagated by fiat currency activists! If stock price downturns cause depressions, why worry about the absence of gold and silver from the monetary structure?

"The silver countries or three fourths of the 2 billion of the people that live on earth, have been deprived of their purchasing power."---R.J. Cromie, publisher, Vancouver Sun, quoted in China Weekly Review, October 18, 1930, page 236.

"The buying power of silver countries lies dormant and AS A RESULT WORLD BUSINESS IS PARALYZED." (ibid)

Anyone reviewing these documented details who still maintains that the October 1929 stock market crash caused the Great Depression must be suspect of being in the fiat money camp, or someone too proud to admit to have been wrong.

"The decline in silver prices has caused losses estimated as high as $3,000,000,000 to Indian silver holders. Price declines in silver long preceded the general world depression."---Current History, May 1932, pages 176-177

The New York Times, June 27, 1932, page 25, “Cheap Silver Adds to Depression” ---

“Colonel Harden and Mr. Thomas agreed that the effects on American growers were tragic. “In one day recently,” said Mr. Thomas, “30,000 COTTON FARMS IN MISSISSIPPI WERE SOLD UNDER THE HAMMER.”

Millions of previously self supporting Americans were forced out into the streets, into tent cities and camping out in woodlands, and into rickety shacks unreliable for shielding from storms---



http://www.fundinguniverse.com/compa...y-History.html indicates that large consolidated interests acquired failing textile operations during the Depression. Milliken & Company was connected to National City Bank, a top tier Pilgrims Society bank. Two Millikens were listed as charter Pilgrims Society members in 1903. The British attack on silver that started in India in 1926 was a repeat of the Crime of ’73, the Coinage Act of 1873 that virtually demonetized silver and wrecked the finances of millions, allowing concentration of wealth in the hands of gold holders! It of course stemmed from the Bank of England and its subversive lobbying of Congress during 1872!

“SILVER ENJOYS A PRESTIGE OUT OF PROPORTION TO ITS IMPORTANCE.”---“Unimportance Of Silver,” World’s Work, N.Y., August 1931, page 21, by prostitute economist Joseph S. Lawrence, member of anti-silver American Economic Association, financial writer for New York Herald Tribune; owned by Ogden R. Reid (1882-1947) a director of Harriman National Bank, second generation Pilgrims Society member whose father was Ambassador to England---




His sons Whitelaw Reid and Ogden R. Reid became Pilgrims Society members; both members of Book and Snake Society of Yale; Whitelaw ran the publishing empire and was a member of the U.S. National Commission for the United Nations Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organization (UNESCO); Ogden was Ambassador to Israel (1959-1961), director of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance; trustee of the (British front) Atlantic Council of the U.S.; Congressman from New York, 1963-1975, during which critical period he voted for everything the Silver Users Association wanted. On July 14, 1965, Ogden Reid, Republican from New York, voted for the Coinage Act of 1965, terminating 90% silver coinage.

The New York Times, October 11, 1931, page 3, reported that the United States delegate to the Pan American Union opposed that organization’s proposal for a world conference on the monetary rehabilitation of silver. The Pan American Union, now known as the Organization of American States, represented silver producing nations in the Southern part of the Western hemisphere. All American delegates to international conferences are subject to the orders of the Secretary of State. Henry Stimson of The Pilgrims Society actively opposed an international conference for restoration of silver money! The reason; the Society included those in control of central banks, who worked to send silver into the toilet, and to lower gold reserve requirements eventually to zero!

Stimson’s mentor was Pilgrims Society member Elihu Root, called "the most brilliant administrator in American history" who assisted Pilgrims Society member, Crown loyalist Andrew Carnegie set up the astonishingly virulent Carnegie Foundations, which, like the Rhodes Trust, the Rockefeller, Mellon, Ford and other foundations, are administered by Pilgrims Society members.

Viscount Simon, Pilgrims Society of Great Britain, was Foreign Secretary, 1931-1935 and played his role in dumping Indian silver onto world markets, causing the Great Depression; afterwards he became Chancellor of the Exchequer---

"THE DEMONETIZATION OF SILVER BY ENGLAND, DUMPING INDIA’S SILVER ON THE MARKET BROUGHT ON THE WORLD DEPRESSION."

---New York Times, April 25, 1933, page 16.

The December 28, 1932 New York Times, page 25, featured “South Africa Notes Off Gold Standard,” with subtitles, “Treasury Gives Reserve Banks Right to Refuse to Redeem in Sovereigns” and “Gold Export Is Curbed” and “Restrictions Will Seek to Prevent Further Hoarding and Flight of Country’s Capital”---

“Pretoria, South Africa---SOUTH AFRICA, THE GREATEST GOLD PRODUCING COUNTRY IN THE WORLD HAS VIRTUALLY ABANDONED THE GOLD STANDARD. This was the purport of an official statement issued by the Treasury tonight relieving the Reserve Bank from responsibility for redeeming notes in gold. Powers for this action were taken under emergency financial regulations passed by Parliament last year.”

The move against gold convertibility was made by The 6th Earl of Clarendon (George Herbert Hyde Villiers), Pilgrims Society of Great Britain, member of the Privy Council to the Crown and the House of Lords who was British Governor General of South Africa, 1931-1937---



His grandfather was a three term Foreign Secretary; his father was a member of Parliament and the Privy Council to the Crown; his grandfather was the 3rd Earl of Normanton, member of Parliament. The British led attack against silver was followed immediately by an attack on gold, with their Pilgrim Partners Franklin Roosevelt and Henry Morgenthau Jr. screwing Americans out of gold just as soon as FDR invaded the White House with his diabolical, demonized presence. The Pilgrims Society of London and New York, the fiat World Money Power, opposes silver and gold as money and ownership thereof by the public, even if treated only as commodities! When the present synthetic system they imposed fails, they’ll offer as a “remedy” the taking of precious metals from We The People a second time! Making others aware of their existence and operations is the best way to frustrate their intentions!

Charles Dawes, Pilgrims Society, authored the Dawes Plan under which German currency was reorganized after the 1923 Weimar hyperinflation debacle into the "Rentenmark," the new paper currency was allegedly "backed" by all the land in Germany. Dawes, a natural gas magnate, became Ambassador of England, 1929-1932 and was tapped to head the $2 billion Reconstruction Finance Corporation in 1932. The RFC had huge manipulative gold activities (evidence is in numerous New York Times news stories, I hope to review when time allows; for example, November 7, 1933, page 37 "RFC Gold Buying a Substantial Sum but Keeps Total a Secret") ---
