Gary Allen

Public opinion is manufactured by the CFR's [Council on Foreign Relations] ventriloquists in the mass media.

p49
Admiral Chester Ward, former CFR member

[The CFR] control or own major newspapers, magazines, radio and television networks [and] the most powerful companies in the book publishing business. (The Associated Press, New York Times, Washington Post, and LA Times have their own wire services, which most mainstream news outlets use.)

p49
Gaylon Ross

The CFR could not accomplish their goals without complicity of the mainstream news media which they absolutely control with an iron fist. Occasionally they will hold a public meeting, and invite the open press in order to give the impression that they are a harmless group engaged only in social activities.

p49
Gary Allen

At the center of Insider power, influence, and planning in the United States is the pervasive Council on Foreign Relations. The CFR was created by the Rockefellers and their allies to be the focus of their drive for a 'New World Order".

p48
David Rockefeller, Bilderberg Meeting, Baden-Baden Germany, 1991

We are grateful to The Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.

p50
Gary Allen

[The mainstream media] are the Establishment's official landscape painters whose job it is to make sure the public does not discover the C.F.R. [Council on Foreign Relations] and its role in creating a world socialist dictatorship.

p50
Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Propaganda Minister

Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.

p51
journalist John Swinton, New York Press Club 1953

There is no such thing at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it... The business of / journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright... We are the tools of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.

p51
Most people pay attention to the events illuminated by corporate-owned spotlights [media] because they're big, common, socially accepted, and because they're all most people have ever known. When you start listening to independent news broadcasts, your conditioning begins to come undone, you start to connect the dots and find that events that were puzzling and seemed unrelated are part of the same picture.

... By listening to these broadcasts you can become familiar with who really runs this planet, what they've done, and where they're taking you. Most of the topics discussed on these shows will never be covered on mainstream news. If you do begin to listen to these shows, you may find yourself watching mainstream news less frequently due to its high rubbish content. You may also become temporarily upset after realizing you've been deceived, you've been misled, conned, tricked - and that most of your friends and relatives have too.

p52
Senator Barry Goldwater

The intellectual influence of the academic community ... is subservient to the wealth of the great tax-free foundations.

p52
Antony Sutton

Twentieth-century history, as recorded in Establishment textbooks and journals, is inaccurate. The prevailing Establishment version is seen to be not only inaccurate, but designed to hide a pervasive fabric of deceit and immoral conduct. [They are effective] not so much because of outright censorship, although that is an important element, but more because of the gullibility of the American 'educated public'.

p53
Texe Marrs

The rewriting and deceitful misinterpretation of American and world history is one of the main methods used to manipulate and shape public opinion. The establishment of the American Historical Society was no doubt an unprecedented step in instituting this diabolical plan to rewrite the past.

p53
Antony Sutton

Through foundations controlled by [a financial] elite, research by compliant and spineless academics, 'conservatives' as well as 'liberals' has been directed into channels ' useful for the objectives of the elite essentially to maintain this subversive and unconstitutional power apparatus. Through publishing houses controlled by this same financial elite unwelcome books have been squashed and useful books promoted.

It is understandable that universities and research organizations, dependent on financial aid from foundations that are controlled by this same New York financial elite, would hardly want to support and to publish research on these aspects of [authentic] international politics.

p54
Antony Sutton

During the past one hundred years any theory of history or historical evidence that falls outside a pattern established by the American Historical Association and the major foundations with their grant-making power has been attacked or rejected.

p54
Gary Allen

[The Rockefellers] do not pour money into local school board races; they put their bucks into the schools that train the teachers and they finance the writing of textbooks.

p55
The existing system of education is little more than a conditioning mechanism. It has little to do with education in the true sense, and a lot to do with control of the individual. This requires suppression of individualist tenancies and a careful spoon-feeding of approved knowledge.

p55
According to the results of congressional investigations and independent researchers, mainstream history is written by the financial elite. The CFR [Council on Foreign Relations] and interlocking Think Tanks have literally rewritten history using schools and publishing houses which they control by grants from their private multi-billion-dollar bank accounts (Tax-exempt Foundations).

p56
Gary Allen

Jacob Schiff ... long-time associate of the Rothschilds, financed the Communist Revolution in Russia to the tune of $20 million. According to a report on file with the [US] State Department, his firm Kuhn Loeb and Co. bankrolled the first five year plan for Stalin.

p56
Congressman Louis McFadden chairman of the House Banking Committee, June 15, 1933

The Soviet government has been given United States Treasury funds by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks acting through the Chase Bank and the Guaranty Trust Company and other banks in New York City.

p57
Antony Sutton

Our textbooks tell us that the Nazis and Soviets were bitter enemies and their systems are opposites. [But in the] 1920s, W. Averill Harriman was a prime supporter of the Soviets with finance and diplomatic assistance... Averill Harriman, his brother Roland Harriman, and E.S. James and Knight Woolley, through the Union Bank ... were prime financial backers of Hitler... How could a rational man support Soviets and Nazis at the same time?

p57
Wall Street funded both Communists and Nazis.

p57
For over 100 years it has been a standard operating procedure of the Rockefellers and their allies to control both sides of every conflict.

p58
After the Bolshevik Revolution, Wall Street ensured the communists would retain-control of Russia.

p58
Gary Allen

The Bolsheviks were not a visible political force at the time the Czar abdicated. And they came to power not because of the downtrodden masses of Russia called them back, but because very wealthy men in Europe and the United States sent them in.

p58
James Perloff

Probably no name symbolized capitalism more than Rockefeller. Yet that family has for decades supplied trade and credit to Communist nations. After the Bolsheviks took power, the Rockefellers' Standard Oil of New Jersey bought up Russian oil fields, while Standard Oil of New York built the soviets a refinery and made an arrangements to market their oil in Europe. During the 1920's the Rockefellers' Chase Bank helped found the American-Russian Chamber of Commerce, and was involved in financing Soviet raw material exports and selling Soviet bonds in the U.S.

p59
Gary Allen

In the late 1960s Rockefeller and other industrialists ... were willing to finance and subsidize the Soviet Union while the Vietnam War was underway, knowing that the Soviets were supplying the other side.

p59
Antony Sutton quoting a report by Averill Harriman to the State Department in June, 1944

Stalin paid tribute to the assistance rendered by the United States to Soviet industry before and during the 'war.

p59
Gary Allen about Antony Sutton's book 'Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution'

No one has even attempted to refute [Antony Sutton's book 'Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution']... They can't. But the misinformation machines that compose our mediacracy can ignore Sutton. And they do.

p59
Antony Sutton

The synthesis sought by the Establishment is called the New World Order. Without controlled conflict this New World Order will not come about . ... And this is being done with the calculated, managed, use of conflict... This explains why the International bankers backed the Nazis, the Soviet Union, [and] North Korea ... against the United States. The 'conflict' [builds] profits while pushing the world ever closer to One World Government.

p60
Communist Russia was not only heavily funded by Wall Street, but was the actual creation of Wall Street. The Communist Revolution was instigated by Wall Street.

p61
U.S. intelligence cracked the radio code that Tokyo used to communicate with its embassies [during World War II]. The decoded messages ... revealed that spies in Hawaii informed Tokyo of the exact locations of warships at Pearl Harbor. Washington was also aware that the attack would come on or around December 7th.

... On December 6th [1941], Captain Johan Ranneft of the Dutch naval attaché in Washington acknowledged that U.S. naval intelligence informed him that Japanese carriers were about 400 miles northwest of Honolulu. Apparently Ranneft informed Washington, but no alert was passed to the commanders in Hawaii.

p62
James Perloff

[Franklin] Roosevelt and [General] Marshall stripped [Oahu, Hawaii] of most of its air defense shortly before the [Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor], and allotted it only one-third of the surveillance planes need to reliably detect approaching forces.

p65
Antony Sutton in his book 'Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler'

General Motors, Ford, General Electric, Dupont [and other] U.S. companies intimately involved with the development of Nazi Germany were ... controlled by the Wall Street elite [such as] the J.P. Morgan firm, the Rockefeller Chase Bank and to a lesser extent the Warburg Manhattan bank.

p65
Texe Marrs

Max Warburg, a major German banker, and his brother Paul Warburg, who had been instrumental in establishing the Federal Reserve System in the United States, were directors of Interssen Gemeinschaft Farben or I.G. Farben, the giant German chemical firm that produced Zyklon B gas used in Nazi extermination camps.

p65 Gary Allen

The financing for Adolph Hitler's rise to power was handled through the Warburg-controlled Mendelsohn Bank of Amsterdam and / later by the J. Henry Schroeder Bank with branches in Frankfurt, London and New York. Chief legal council to the J. Henry Schroeder Bank was the firm Sullivan and Cromwell whose senior partners included John Foster and Allen Dulles.

p66
author James Perloff

In 1939, on the eve of the [German] blitzkrieg, the Rockefellers' Standard Oil of New Jersey sold $20 million in aviation fuel to ... I.G. Farben [and] even had an American subsidiary called American I.G.

p66
author James Perloff

US. companies which contributed heavily to the Nazi war machine include Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH) and Union ' Banking Corporation (UBC), both of New York. Prescott Bush (grandfather of President George W. Bush) was a partner at BBH and director of UBC. UBC of New York, which was founded and chaired by E. Roland Harriman, is now confirmed to have been a Nazi front company.

p66
'Bush-Nazi Link Confirmed', a story in The New Hampshire Gazette, October 10, 2003

Newly-uncovered government documents in The National Archives and Library of I Congress reveal that Prescott Bush ... served as a business partner ... for the financial architect of the Nazi war machine from 1926 until 1942.

p66
Professor [Texe] Marrs in an article titled 'How Bush's Grandfather Helped Hitler's Rise to Power', London Guardian, September 25, 2004

Prescott Sheldon Bush ... father of the [former] President George [H. W.] Bush ... was a partner in the Wall Street firm of Brown Brothers Harriman for 40 years. It was Brown Brothers Harriman that helped to finance ... the 1917 communist revolution in Moscow and the rise of Hitler and Nazism, through money made possible by it and the affiliated Guaranty Trust Company.

p66
Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands who served in an intelligence unit for the German branch of [I.G.] Farben was also a member of the Nazi SS. Bernhard eventually became a founding member of the Bilderbergers.

p66
Gary Allen in his book 'The Rockefeller File'

The alliance between Nazi German and the Rockefellers is truly shocking. Hitler's Luftwaffe ran on Standard petrol, and the Rockefellers were partners in I.G. Farben Industries, whose thousands of war products included the poison gas used in Nazi death camps.

p66
Antony Sutton

American I.G. Farben, General Electric, Standard Oil of New Jersey, Ford, and other U.S. firms [were] directly responsible for bringing the Nazis to power.

p67
Antony Sutton

German bankers on the Farben Aufsichsrat (the supervisory Board of Directors) [of I.G. Farben] in the late 1920s included the Hamburg banker Max Warburg, whose brother Paul Warburg was a founder of the Federal Reserve System in the United States. Not coincidentally, Paul Warburg was also on the board of American I.G., Farben's wholly owned U.S. Subsidiary.

p67
Paul Warburg [an international banker and a founder of the Federal Reserve System in the United States] aided the Nazis while working for I.G. Farben in the U.S., while his brother helped them while working for the same company in Germany.

p67
Antony Sutton

The two largest tank producers in Hitler's Germany were Opel, a wholly owned subsidiary of General Motors (controlled by the J.P. Morgan firm), and the Ford A.G. subsidiary of the Ford Motor Company of Detroit, In brief, American companies associated with the Morgan-Rockefeller international investment bankers ... were intimately related to the growth of Nazi Industry.

p67
The Guardian of London, March, 29, 2002, ran an article entitled, 'IBM Dealt Directly with Holocaust Organisers'

Newly discovered documents from Hitler's Germany prove that the computer company IBM directly supplied the Nazis with technology which was used to help transport millions of people to their deaths in the concentration camps at Auschwitz and Treblinka.

p67
The Village Voice, March 27, 2002, in an article entitled, How IBM Helped Automate the Nazi Death Machine in Poland

[There was] a strategic business alliance between IBM and the [Third] Reich, beginning in the first days of the Hitler regime and continuing right through World War II. Recently discovered Nazi documents ... make clear that IBM's alliance with the Third Reich went far beyond its German subsidiary. A key factor in the Holocaust in Poland was IBM technology provided directly through ... IBM New York, mainly to its headquarters at 590 Madison Avenue.

p68
The Kilgore Committee under the United States Senate charged with post World. War II investigations concluded that "the United States accidentally played an important role in the technical arming of Germany.

p69
Antony Sutton
It is not at all difficult to visualize why Nazi industrialists were puzzled by 'investigations' [U.S.. Senate Kilgore Committee] and assumed at the end of the war [World War II] that their Wall Street friends would bail them out and protect them from the wrath of those who had suffered... Apparently these Nazis were angry that they were even on trial and boasted that their "friends" in Wall Street would rescue them.

p69
The Kilgore Committee in 1946 described the attitudes of Nazi war criminals

Their general attitude and expectation was that the war was over and we ought now to be assisting them in helping to get I.G. Farben and German industry back on its feet ... as soon as things got a little settled they would expect their friends in the Untitled States and England to be coming over.

p69
Antony Sutton

At the end of World War II Wall Street moved into Germany through the Control Council to protect their old cartel friends and limit the extent to which the denazification fervor would damage old business relationships. General Lucius Clay, the deputy military governor for Germany, appointed ... Banker William Draper [to] ... put his control team together from businessmen who had represented American business in pre-war Germany.

When we examine the Control Council for Germany we find that the head of the finance division was Louis Douglas, director of the Morgan-controlled General Motors [and the head of the] Economics Division was William Draper, a partner in the Dillon, Read Firm that had so much to do with building Nazi Germany in the first place. All three men [Douglas, Clay, and Draper] were, not surprisingly ... members of the Council on Foreign Relations.

p69
Antony Sutton

The story of American ties to German fascism has been avoided like the plaque by the major U.S. media. After World War 11 the Tribunals set up to investigate Nazi war criminals were careful to censor any materials regarding Western assistance to Hitler.

p70
Antony Sutton

[At] the very core of Nazism [we] find Wall Street, including Standard Oil of New Jersey and I.T.T., represented ... [up] to as late as 1944.

p70
Antony Sutton

referring to Wall Street's role in funding the Nazis as being one part of a consolidation plan for world domination

[The] interplay of ideas and cooperation [referring to Wall Street's role in funding the Nazis] was only one facet of a vast and ambitious system of cooperation and international alliance for world control.

p70
Antony Sutton, quoting Georgetown Professor Dr. Carroll Quigley

[Wall Street's role in funding the Nazis was] nothing less than to create a world system of financial control, in private hands, able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole.

p70
The Council on Foreign Relation, played an important role in funding the Nazis, and orchestrated the investigations to prevent their connections from being made public. This evidence also suggests that Wall Street/CFR not only funded, but created the Nazi war machine.

p71
Congressman [Charles] Lindberg said in a Congressional Record dated, December 22, 1913

This new law [the Federal Reserve Act) will create inflation whenever the trusts want inflation. It may not do so immediately, but ... if the trusts can get another period of inflation, they figure they can unload the stocks on the people at high prices during the excitement and them bring on a panic and buy them back at low prices. The people may not know it immediately, but the day reckoning is only a few years removed.

p71
James Perloff

The Federal Reserve has since [1929] created an endless series of booms and busts by the strategic tightening and relaxation of money and credit.

p71
Gary Allen

Having built the Federal Reserve as a tool to consolidate and control wealth, the international bankers were now ready to make a major killing. Between 1923 and 1929 the Federal Reserve expanded (inflated) the money supply by sixty-two percent. Much of this new money was used to bid the stock market up to dizzying heights. At the same time that enormous amounts of credit money were being made available ... the mass media began to ballyhoo tales of instant riches to be made in the stock market.

p71
Ferdinand Lundberg

For profits to be made on [stock] funds the public had to be induced to speculate, and it was so induced by misleading newspaper accounts, many of them bought and paid for by the brokers that operated the pools.

p71
James Perloff

The Federal Reserve prompted the speculation by expanding the money supply a whopping sixty-two percent between 1923 and 1929. When the central bank became law in 1913, Congressman Charles Lindbergh had warned: "From now on, depressions will be scientifically created." Like two con men working a mark, the Fed made credit easy while Establishment newspapers hyped what riches could be made in the stock market.

p72
Curtis Dall, a syndicate manager for Lehman Brothers was on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on the day of the 1929 stock market crash

[The Crash] was the calculated 'shearing' of the public by the World-Money powers triggered by the planned sudden shortage of call money in the New York money market.

p72
Gary Allen

The "shearing [the 1929 stock market collapse] caused a "despair [which] produced a willingness to accept a major expansion of government controls over the economy... In 1929, America was a long way from total government. The next depression will be used as the excuse for complete socialist-fascist controls at home and the creation of a World Superstate internationally.

p72
James Perloff

Plummeting stock prices ruined small investors, but not the top insiders" on Wall Street. Paul Warburg had issued a tip in March of 1929 that the crash coming. Before it did, John D. Rockefeller, Bernard Baruch, Joseph P. Kennedy, and other money barons got out of the market... Early withdrawal from the market not only preserved the fortunes of these men, it also enabled them to return later and buy up whole companies for a song.

p72
G. Edward Griffin's book, The Creature from Jekyll Island

There is no record of any member of the interlocking directorate between the Federal Reserve, the major New York banks, and their prime customers having been caught by surprise [by the stock market collapse of 1929].

p72
Herbert Hoover's description of the Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew Mellon's views

Mr. Mellon had only one formula: 'Liquidate labor, liquidate stocks, liquidate the farmers, [and] liquidate real estate. It will purge the rottenness out of the system. Values will be adjusted, and enterprising people will pick up the wrecks from less competent people.

p73
James Perloff

FDR is probably best remembered for the New Deal, Of course since a large portion of the work force
was unemployed [during the Depression], there was not enough tax revenue to pay for [the New Deal] programs. So the government turned to its other source - borrowing. In effect, the international bankers, having created the Depression, now loaned America the cash to recover from it. Naturally, the interest on these loans would be borne on the backs of taxpayers for years to come.

p73
The Great Depression was artificially created so the larger Wall Street firms, which control the stock market could eliminate competition and make profits out of lending America money to recover from it.

p74
in 1934 General Smedley D. Butler went public after he was approached by Wall Street and offered up to 300 million dollars to lead an army of 500,00 veterans equipped with munitions from Remington Company to Washington D.C., in order to overthrow the U.S. Government by force.

p74
Jules Archer in his book 'The Plot to Seize the White House'

The backing of the revolution reportedly came from the American Liberty League, which was headed by Morgan and DuPont... General Butler claimed that the American Liberty League was the primary means of funding the plot. The main backers were the DuPont family, as well as leaders of U.S. Steel, General Motors, Standard Oil, Chase National Bank, and Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company.
p74
George Seldes in his book 'Facts and Fascism'

Most papers suppressed the whole story [of the 1934 attempted coup against FDR] or threw it down by ridiculing it.

p74
Jules Archer in his book 'The Plot to Seize the White House'

Press coverage of what was obviously a startling story of utmost importance to the security of the nation [the 1934 attempted coup against FDR] was largely one of distortion, suppression, and omission.

p77
Representative John W. McCormack, former Speaker of the House

There was no doubt that General Butler was telling the truth [about the 1934 attempted coup against FDR]... We believed his testimony one hundred percent. He was a great, patriotic American in every respect.

p78
Jon Spivak, a reporter assigned to cover the congressional hearings about the 1934 attempted coup against FDR

What was behind the plot was shrouded in a silence which has not been broken to this day . ... It would be regrettable if historians neglected this episode and future generations of Americans never learned of it.

p78
Jules Archer in his book 'The Plot to Seize the White House'

It would seem time that school textbooks in America were revised to acknowledge our debt to the almost forgotten hero [General Smedley Butler] who thwarted the conspiracy to end democratic government in America.

p79
[The U.S. financial elite] funded the Communist Revolution and the Nazi Holocaust, which resulted in the murder of millions. They built the dictatorship in Russia, which resulted in the brutal slaughter of millions of people during the Russian Holocaust. The same cabal allowed the attacks on Pearl Harbor to take place and deliberately created the Great Depression.

p79
There was at least one blatant attempt to overthrow the U.S. Government by force in 1933-34, which congress confirmed to be genuine. Entire volumes could probably be written on their [the U.S. financial elite] evil deeds. By control of the Tax-exempt Complex and other institutions, they control academia and have literally rewritten history.
