Their story really begins in the mid-18th Century in Frankfurt, Germany, with Mayer Amschel Rothschild, who was a coin, medal and antique dealer. The family name is actually Bauer. The name Rothschild derives from a house called zum roten schild built in the 1560's by an ancestor called Isak, which was passed down the generations. Mayer Amschel was employed by Oppenheim in Hanover as a young man, returned to Frankfurt in 1764 at the end of his apprenticeship with them, and opened his own coin and medal dealing business. He was able to conclude some small deals with Prince William of Hesse-Kassel. After a number of successful years he was able to enter the banking and credit business, so that by 1800 he had business with customers all over Germany, including significantly the Bethmanns (see Chapter World War 1), and was showing signs of the international banking acumen his sons would later show with business in Austria, the Netherlands, France and England. During the American War of Independence, Prince William of Hesse-Kassel loaned out Hessian troops to the British. This gave the Elector a small paper fortune in English bills. Mayer and William had done some business in 1765, and by 1790 William was a regular customer of Mayer. In 1785 Mayer moved his family to zum grunen schild (the green shield) house, which they shared with the Schiffs (see below). Around the same time, Mayer Amschel began a friendly-cum-business relationship with Karl Friedrich Buderus, who, as William's adviser, helped Mayer into becoming one of William's agents. Mayer Amschel, thanks to Buderus, began trading in William's English bills, buying real estate for William, while still dealing in coins and medals for William. By 1803 Mayer Amschel was given the title Oberhofagent (senior court agent) to William. Mayer Amschel was also made court agent for the Order of St. John, Prince of Thurn und Taxis, and was also an imperial court agent to the Austrian Emperor. Mayer Amschel had five sons with his wife Gutle; Nathan, James, Karl, Salomon and Amschel. The five sons were scattered across Europe to establish a family banking dynasty to co-ordinate banking policy across national borders. Nathan was sent to Manchester then London, James to Paris, Salomon to Vienna and Karl to Naples, while Amschel remained in Frankfurt. Nathan was considered the most intelligent.
In 1806 William fled after the French invaded and occupied his castle. He entrusted his estate and finances to Buderus and Mayer Amschel, who asked Nathan, his son in England, to try his hand at buying and selling British consols (government bonds) for William. Nathan managed to make a substantial profit from this, which transformed Nathan from Manchester textile merchant to London banker, but it did not make the family fortune we have been led to believe. Nathan was able to make contact with the British Government, in the form of John Charles Herries, and during Wellington's campaign against Napoleon, Nathan arranged a large purchase and transfer of gold and silver coins to finance that campaign, for which the British were very grateful. Nathan and James also arranged a transfer of gold bullion through France destined for Wellington. With this loyalty and success, the British government entrusted Nathan to finance Britain's allies against Napoleon. This is where the Rothschilds were able to make some money. Due to their distributed geographical locations across Europe they were able to manipulate and capitalize upon currency fluctuations and exchange rates across Europe, as they transferred, and bought and sold money. They then apparently lost a substantial sum when Napoleon escaped from Elba. The Rothschilds bought alot of gold expecting another long war, but it did not occur. Bribery and 'cooking the books' was required during this period. Following the defeat of Napoleon, to the surprise and disappointment of James, the new French Government took out a large loan for reparations payments from Baring, who with Bethmann was the Rothschilds' main rival. To make some money, Nathan invested nearly all the Rothschild money in British consols in 1817, whose value rose to make a them a tidy profit. Nathan had also invested the excess from the Wellington war chest to the benefit of the British Government, which put him on good terms with the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer and increased his reputation in The City of London.
The Rothschilds managed to conclude some profitable business with the governments of The Holy Alliance; Austria, Russia and Prussia. Nathan arranged a large ground-breaking international loan to Prussia, Salomon arranged a large lottery loan in Vienna, and Nathan and his brother-in-law Moses Montefiore arranged business and a multi-million pound sterling loan with Russia. Salomon Rothschild financed the Austrian invasion of Italy in 1821. James Rothschild financed the French invasion of Spain in 1823. Both of these invasions were counter-revolution adventures. Nathan also financed the new Brazilian government with multi-million pound sterling loans in 1823 and 1825. During this time Nathan had also been buying or borrowing gold and silver from The Bank of England, which may or may not have contributed to the contraction of Bank of England notes and the subsequent panic in 1825. So Nathan, doing his duty after some mediation by Herries, stepped in and saved The Bank of England with a large injection of...gold. The gold and gold coin was shipped in from all over the world. This operation established the Rothschilds in the gold bullion market, which they have directed from London ever since.
Not only were the Rothschilds loaning governments money, they also gave personal loans to Royalty. Nathan loaned money to King George IV, the Duke of York in 1824, and Princess Charlotte. Nathan and James became personal bankers of the Duke of Wellington.
With their increasing power, the Rothschilds began to promote and finance Zionism (see chapter Israel). They financed the expansion of the British Empire, and also financed several industrial empires in the USA; the steel empire of Carnegie, the railroad empire of Harriman, the oil empire of Rockefeller. They became bankers to the most powerful monarchies and governments in the world. The Morgans acted as their agents in the USA, for the name Rothschild was not well liked in the USA. The 19th Century is known as "The Age of Rothschild". They are the major stockholders in The Federal Reserve. The Jewish Rothschilds are also bankers for The Vatican.
The Rothschilds are allegedly a family founded on unity. It was drummed into them by Mayer Amschel. The five brothers held their father in high regard, and in times of crisis or reflection would refer back to him. Salomon in a letter to Nathan in October 1815 wrote about Mayer's insistence on his sons cultivating relationships with those in government,
Our late father taught us that if a high-placed person enters into a [financial] partnership with a Jew, he belongs to the Jew.
Mayer Amschel was apparently proud of his religion, observing Jewish religious practice, and seeking Jewish emancipation, but also equality (not supremacy?). Niall Ferguson writes of Mayer Amschel;
To be a citizen of his native state, but to remain unequivocally a member of "our nation", meaning the traditional Jewish religious community; this was Mayer Amschel's aim. For the critical distinction between the Rothschilds and many other successful Jewish families of this period was that, while they fervently desired social, civil and political equality with their Gentile counterparts, they refused to abandon Judaism as their religion in order to achieve it. Their own ambition was therefore from the outset inseparable from the political campaign for Jewish emancipation not only in Frankfurt, but throughout Europe.
Mayer Amschel, with his head clerk and bookkeeper Sigmund Geisenheimer, helped to establish the Philanthropin in 1804, a school for poor Jewish children in Frankfurt.
According to Rabbi Antelman in Chapter 11 of his To Eliminate The Opiate, Volume 1,
The Rothschilds utilized the services of Sigmund Geisenheimer, their head clerk, who in turn was aided by Itzig of Berlin, the Illuminati of the Toleranz Lodge and the Parisian Grand Orient Lodge. Geisenheimer was a member of the Mayence Masonic Illuminati Lodge, and was the founder of the Frankfurt Judenloge, for which attempt he was excommunicated by the Chief Rabbi of Frankfurt, Tzvi Hirsch Horowitz. At a later date the Rothschilds joined the Lodge. Solomon Mayer (or Meir) Rothschild (1774-1855) was a member for a short while before moving to Vienna.
It was Mayer Amschel's son James, who was eventually sent to Paris, who was personally tutored by Michael Hess, who was also the headmaster of the Philanthropin for a number of years. In December 1811, Amschel Mayer managed to negotiate and purchase the freedom of the Jews of Frankfurt after he personally raised 290,000 of the 440,000 gulden asked for by Baron Karl Theodor Anton von Dalberg, who at the time controlled Frankfurt as part of his grand duchy.
Mayer Amschel Rothschild financially supported Jacob Frank towards the end of Frank's life, when Frank lived in luxury in Offenbach, near Frankfurt. This was discovered by Clifford Shack in a book written in Polish entitled Jacob Frank and the Polish Frankist Followers by Alexander Kraushar. Frank proclaimed himself as the Jewish Messiah, and claimed he was the reincarnation of King David and Sabbatai Zevi, who would find and unite the lost tribes. He was also involved in the Zohar, which practiced sexual magick, and preached against the Talmud, instead following a form of religion that was almost the opposite of Judaism. Sabbatai Zevi had also proclaimed himself as the Jewish Messiah a few decades earlier, and according to Yehuda Liebes in Studies in Jewish Myth and Jewish Messianism, p96, Zevi had a plan to take control of the land we now know as Israel.
Sabbatai Zevi would persuasively address the Turkish Sultan, would remove the latter's crown, place it on his own head and, from then on the Sultan would be Sabbatai Zevi's slave, and fulfill his wishes. Sabbatai Zevi was to use the Sultan's army to fight the Gentiles (the Christians of Europe, responsible for the 1648-49 massacres), to gather in the exiles and redeem Israel. This plan (which slightly resembles Herzl's notion of "The Charter") was not as impractical as it may sound...However, this plan seems to epitomize Sabbatean political thought.
The aim of Zevi and his prophet Nathan of Gaza was immediate political redemption of the Jews. Zevi did try to implement his plan to persuade the Sultan, but after meeting with the Sultan he converted to Islam instead under threat of execution! Many of his followers, which actually consisted of a large number of Jews, then became disillusioned with Zevi and his movement. Some, however, followed Zevi and converted to Islam, forming a sect within Islam called the Donmeh. Many senior members of the Zionist movement believe that Zionism is due to Zevi. Followers of Zevi were called Sabbateans. Frank was born into a family of Sabbateans, and extended and added to Sabbatean rituals to allow adultery and incest. After a time in Poland, during which he had concubines, Frank was imprisoned for thirteen years for heresy, and after his release retired to Offenbach, near Frankfurt, to be kept in luxury by amongst others Mayer Amschel Rothschild.
Carl wrote in May 1817,
It is the best thing on earth to be of service to the Jews. Our father did so, and we see how well we are paid back.
Salomon wrote to Nathan a few months later,
If we want our children to be one day really happy, we have to do all that is in our power to bring to a good end all the work which...father of blessed memory...began in the interest of our people.
and a few months later wrote to Nathan,
If everything depends, as it does, on God, if we want, as we do, to be fortunate, then, dear Nathan, [the interests of the entire Jewish people] must be as important to you as the most important business deal once was. How can we show more respect for our blessed father, than by supporting that work which he laboured at for years[?]
The Rothschilds would later be instrumental in the creation of Israel and its subsistence, despite the anger it was bound to cause, as recognised by the Jews of Great Britain and Europe themselves, who refused to aquiesce as they were being enticed to move to Palestine!
Honoré de Balzac wrote; behind every great fortune lies a crime. From this brief introduction, it appears as though the Rothschilds had some good luck, but there was a time when bribery and 'cooking the books' was required. This is crime, but small. The bigger crimes came later, particularly with the creation of The Federal Reserve, and its use to finance world wars.
The Schiffs shared a house known as The Green Shield with the Rothschilds in Frankfurt in 1785. It is Jacob Schiff who is of interest. Jacob's father Moses was a broker for the Rothschilds. Born on 10th January 1847, young Jacob first worked at a large mercantile house, and then his brother-in-law's banking house. Jacob felt Frankfurt was too small for his ambitions, and went to the USA. He immediately struck up a friendship with the powerful Jewish Bonn family of New York, and obtained employment in the brokerage firm of Frank & Gans. Before the age of twenty, Schiff was made partner with Henry Budge and Leo Lehmann in the brokerage firm of Budge, Schiff & Company.
(From http://www.kuhnloeb.com/) Kuhn, Loeb & Co. was an investment bank located in New York City, founded by Abraham Kuhn and Solomon Loeb in 1867. Kuhn and Loeb had created a successful merchandising business in Cincinnatti, Ohio, when they decided to move east, to New York, to take advantage of the country's burgeoning economic expansion. Company records indicate that by the time Kuhn and Loeb established their partnership, they were able to capitalize it at $500,000. On January 1, 1875, Jacob Schiff (1847-1920), Solomon Loeb's son-in-law, joined the Firm and began a remarkable reign as leader of the Firm, during which it grew to be the most prestigious investment bank in the United States, perhaps, second only, to J. Pierpont Morgan's, J.P. Morgan & Co. At the time, intermarriage among the German-Jewish elite was customary. Consequently, the partners of Kuhn, Loeb were closely related by blood and marriage to the partners of J & W Seligman, Speyer & Co., Goldman, Sachs & Co., and Lehman Brothers. A particularly close relationship existed between the partners of Kuhn, Loeb and M. M. Warburg & Co. of Hamburg, Germany, through Paul, Felix and Sigmund Warburg, who were Kuhn, Loeb partners.
Schiff married Theresa Loeb, the daughter of Solomon Loeb, head of the banking firm, Kuhn, Loeb and Company, and in 1885 was made head of Kuhn, Loeb & Company. Around this time Schiff also managed Lehman Brothers, which would later become a power within the Federal Reserve system, and merge with Kuhn, Loeb & Company. Schiff financed the Japanese against Russia in the Russo-Japanese War 1904/5, and his agent George Kennan drummed up support for the aborted Russian Revolution of 1905 in response to the defeat of Russia. He later financed Paul Warburg's mission to lobby for a privately-owned central bank in the USA, paying Warburg $500,000. This led to the creation of The Federal Reserve in 1913, and all the bloodshed it has since financed. Schiff also took great personal credit for his financing of the revolutions in Russia in 1917 which led to the establishment of Communism. Thanks alot, Jacob!
The Morgan empire started out as a small company called Peabody, Riggs and Company in Georgetown, DC dealing in wholesale dry goods. They moved to Baltimore in 1815, and later in 1835 George Peabody went on his own and created George Peabody and Company in London. While in London Peabody allegedly became acquainted with Nathan Rothschild and began to act as agent for Nathan. Peabody's agent in America was Beebe, Morgan & Co., managed by Junius S. Morgan. Peabody asked Morgan to become a partner in George Peabody and Company in London, to which Junius agreed in 1854. Under Morgan the Peabody empire expanded, and in 1864 the childless Peabody, who looked upon Junius as a son, changed the name of the company to Junius S. Morgan Company and left Junius to run the company. In 1857 there was a massive panic in the United States, and The Bank of England loaned George Peabody and Company five million pounds to buy up as much as the American stock market as possible. There was much mistrust of the Rothschilds across the world, particularly in America, so was Peabody used in 1857 by the Rothschilds as a front to buy up the American market? Many believe so.
During the Civil War the United States Government appointed George Peabody and Company as their London representatives, but Peabody appears to have abused the position. The following was published in Springfield Republic in 1866;
"For all who know anything on the subject know very well that Peabody and his partners gave us no faith and no help in our struggle for national existence. They participated to the fullest in the common English distrust of our cause and our success, and talked and acted for the South rather than for our nation. No individuals contributed so much to flooding our money markets and weakening financial confidence in our nationality than George Peabody & Company, and none made more money by the operation. All the money that Mr. Peabody is giving away so lavishly among our institutions of learning was gained by the speculations of his house in our misfortunes."
Junius Morgan had a son, John Pierpoint, who took control of the company in 1890 upon the death of his father. Before his death Junius had formed Drexel Morgan and Company with Anthony Drexel of Philadelphia in 1871, and when Drexel died this was renamed J. P. Morgan and Company.
There were a number of investigations into the power that J. P. Morgan had over Wall Street. In 1912 The Pujo Committee found that J. P. Morgan was one of an inner ring of financiers who controlled the majority of the American economy and its infrastructure. Kuhn, Loeb & Co. was another (see Schiff above).
The Rockefeller dynasty began when the Rothschilds financed John D Rockefeller's Standard Oil empire, eventually making John D arguably the richest American in America. Journalist William T Stillman wrote
Working through the wall street firms of Kuhn Loeb & Co. and J. P. Morgan Co. the Rothschilds financed John D. Rockefeller so that he could create the Standard Oil empire.
The Rockefellers are of Jewish descent, as shown in Americans of Jewish Descent by Dr. Malcolm Stern. John D's father William sold oil as a cure-all, and escaped prosecution for raping a 15 year old girl in New York by fleeing to Cleveland. Before abandoning his wife and six children for a 20 year old woman, William played games with his sons, in which he conned them out of anything and everything to teach them sharp business practice. John got a job as a bookkeeper, and in 1858 started a joint business in produce with M B Clark on Cleveland docks. During the early years of the Civil War they did very well. In 1862 John and Clark financed Samuel Andrews with $4000 to refine oil, which he did successfully. In 1865 John saw more future in oil refining and sold his stake in the produce business with Clark and invested it all in oil refining. In 1870 The Standard Oil Company was founded, managed by John, with offices in New York to sell refined oil. Their refineries in Cleveland were not the only refineries. Standard Oil had some competition. To gain an edge John bribed and 'coerced' transportation firms to give him a rebate/kickback, not only on every barrel of oil of his they transported but on everybody else's. Soon Standard Oil was able to sell their oil cheaper than anyone else, and Standard Oil business boomed. There are stories of violence and unexplained explosions that benefitted Standard Oil, but nevertheless, by 1890 Standard Oil was refining 90% of all crude oil in the United States. John D is considered to be America's first billionaire. The Sherman Anti-Trust Laws were aimed at John D's Standard Oil Trust, and tried to break up the monopoly the trust had over American oil refining. In 1911 under Sherman Anti-Trust laws The Standard Oil Trust was ordered to be broken up, and the Rockefeller oil trust splintered into what are the multinational oil corporations of today; Exxon, Mobil, Chevron, Esso, etc., with several links to BP and Shell, each reporting record profits in the tens of billions. So the Sherman Anti-Trust Laws were used to effectively give the impression that several competing companies refined oil, which was true, it is just that Rockefeller retained control to some degree in each 'competitor'.
Besides becoming oil billionaires, the Rockefellers got into banking and finance. John D had five children, the last being John Jr, the only son. Naturally, Junior became a director of Standard Oil, and in 1921 he was given his father's 10% stake in Equitable Trust Company, which merged with Chase National Bank, which is now known as JP Morgan Chase, now employing Tony Blair as of 2008. Junior had acquired Equitable Trust Company after The Armstrong Committee investigated Wall Street and insurance companies, after which Equitable Life was ordered to sell its subsidiary Equitable Trust Company, which was purchased by Junior, George Gould and Kuhn, Loeb & Co., i.e. Jacob Schiff. Junior had five sons; John D III, Nelson, Laurance, Winthrop and David. John D and Junior founded the Rockefeller Foundation in 1913, allegedly for 'philanthropy', but research into its activities shows the Rockefeller Foundation funds world government ideology, population control and the green agenda, as well as Nazi eugenics research institutes.
The above figure shows a bust of Albert Pike in the House of The Temple in Washington DC, the Head Quarters of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, where his remains are buried having been exhumed in 1944. Pike was an illustrious author, in literature, mainly poetry, and on Freemasonry. Pike was awarded an honorary Master of Arts by Harvard in 1859 for his literature. Here is a brief chronology of Pike's life.
There is one question that begs to be asked; why did Pike receive the 1st to 29th Degrees from Mackey in one session on 20th March 1853? Indeed, who was Mackey? Mackey was present at the Lodge of Sorrow for vehement slaver John Quitman, and was Scottish Rite chief for South Carolina, serving as Secretary General of the Supreme Council of the AASR from 1844 to his death in 1881. What did he see in Pike? Or was he ordered to raise Pike so quickly? If so, by whom and why?
Mackey's approach to slavery was that no slave could be admitted into a lodge. Mackey decreed this in Book Third, Chapter 1, Section IV of The Principles of Masonry.
On 10th October 1834, Pike married Mary Ann Hamilton. In A Life of Albert Pike by Walter Lee Brown, Brown writes
Mary Ann Hamilton was a beautiful girl, and she was considered something of a catch. Born in 1816, she was the third daughter of James and Drusilla Hamilton, who had settled at Arkansas Post before 1820. Her father, one of the founders in 1821 of the town of Arkansas Post, had been a well-to-do planter, slaveholder, land speculator, and a member of and friend of the ruling clique in Arkansas County.
The Hamilton's were quite wealthy from their slave plantations. Mary Ann had been living on another slave plantation, that of her father's friend Terence Farrelly, after her father had died. Farrelly had become wealthy from using slavery on his substantial cotton plantations, and was adjutant general of the Arkansas militia, as well as a leader in local political life. According to Walter Lee Brown, Farrelly "welcomed young Pike into his family as though he were a beloved son". Pike received a nice dowry in marrying Mary Ann, and used Hamilton's slave money to buy The Arkansas Advocate in 1834/5. Mary Ann became a manic depressive during the 1850's, and though Pike did not divorce her, he did obtain an official separation in 1857, and she lived the rest of her life alone financed by a trust established by Pike consisting of their house and household slaves. She died in 1876. Meanwhile, Pike started an affair with Vinnie Ream, a sculptor very much younger than Pike.
Before Mary Ann's descent into madness, Pike had built for his expanding family a large mansion in Little Rock, financed with money from the sale of some of Mary Ann's property (acquired from her slaveholder father). I again quote Walter Lee Brown;
Certainly by the mid-forties Pike was a successful, prosperous lawyer. Times were improving after the long dark years of the depression that set in in 1837. He still, it is true, indulged in an occasional outburst against certain unavoidable and unpleasant features of living in "this out of the world region". But he owned a fine, well-furnished home, kept his cellar well stocked with French wines and his larder stored with good food, had a steady and sufficient income for his family's needs, owned a number of household slaves to serve and wait on his and his family's every whim, and had the love and esteem of a number of friends and neighbours.
Albert Pike organised the Arkansas branch of the Know-Nothing Party, which was virulently xenophobic and anti-immigrant, particularly against Catholics. At the Know-Nothing Party Convention of 1856, Pike and some of his Southern members walked out because the party was insufficiently pro-slavery.
A fellow member of the Know-Nothing Party, George W.L. Bickley, became President of the American Legion of The Knights of the Golden Circle in the Southern States, with native American Indians, whose constitution in 1860 read partly,
We, a part of the people of the Cherokee Nation, in order to form a more perfect union and protect ourselves and property against the works of Abolitionists do establish this Constitution for the government of the Knights of the Golden Circle in this Nation... No person shall become a member of the Knights of the Golden Circle in the Cherokee Nation who is not a pro-slavery man... The Captain, or in case of his refusal, then the Lieutenant has the power to compell each and every member of their Encampment to turn out and assist in capturing and punishing any and all abolitionists in their minds who are interfering with slavery.... You do solemnly swear that you will keep all the secrets of this order and that you will, to the best of your abilities protect and defend the interests of the Knights of the Golden Circle in this Nation, so help you God.
This is important because you will soon see the close relationship Pike had with slave-owning Indians.
In 1861 Pike published a pamphlet entitled, State or Province, Bond or Free? that he had written arguing in favour of secession. Pike would later claim he didn't actually support secession. Oh yeah? So why publish a long pamphlet arguing for secession? The text of this pamphlet is available to read in Southern Pamphlets on Secession, November 1860-April 1861 by Jon L. Wakelyn. It is undeniably pro-secession.
On 11th March 1861, the Constitution of the Confederate States of America was signed. Section 9 (4) of that constitution, written by Pike's Freemason friends Cobb and Toombs, stated
No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed.
Following this, Albert Pike was appointed as the Confederate Commissioner to the Indian Nations, and his mission was to form treaties with the native Indians of the Southern states agreeing that they would fight with the Confederacy. The five tribes Pike negotiated with were Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole. Pike had done some legal work for some of these native American Indians following the Trail of Tears, which was a forced exodus of these tribes by the United States Government, and from this Pike had some contacts and respect within native American Indian communities.
Slavery among some native American Indian tribes existed before Europeans settled in North America. Their slaves were usually captives from military conflicts used for general labour. Over time, these Indians copied and adopted the European settlers' lifestyles and customs, including owning and trading in African slaves. A schism developed within Indian communities. The 'full-bloods' were against renouncing their native American Indian customs and lifestyles and wanted to return to their native lands to live slave-free in relative peace and neutrality, and formed the Keetoowah to promote their ideas. They also formed The Pins. On the other hand, the younger 'half-breeds' supported slavery and lived like the European settlers of the South. Of the five tribes, Pike had most trouble with the Cherokee. Their leader was John Ross, a full-blood opposed to slavery. However, another senior member of the Cherokee was Stand Watie, who was also leader of the Knights of the Golden Circle (KGC). Ross refused to sign a treaty with Pike. Pike threatened Ross,
"If he refuses, he will learn that his country is occupied; and I shall then negotiate with the leaders of the half-breeds who are now raising troops".
Around May 1861, a faction of Cherokee led by Stand Watie, also leader of the KGC, met with Pike to request the Confederacy to protect them from the Pins should they join the Confederacy and fight for slavery, protection which Pike agreed to give. Pike left the Cherokee and easily formed treaties with the other four tribes. Upon Pike's return to the Cherokee, Ross signed a treaty with Pike.
Stand Watie's brother was Lone Watie, also known as Elias C Boudinot. In the spring of 1860, Pike raised Elias to the 33rd Degree of the Ancient and Accepted Rite of Scottish Freemasonry. Elias was also the secretary to the 1861 secession convention of Arkansas, at which the Arkansas Ordinance of Secession was passed. Elias and Pike would later work together in Washington DC as lawyers.
So here we find slave-owner Pike arguing for the secession of Arkansas in a pamphlet, acting as a representative of the pro-slavery Confederate Government, and negotiating with pro-slavery native American Indians for them to fight with the Confederacy to defend slavery!
On page 60 of Slavery in the Cherokee Nation: The Keetoowah Society and the Defining of a People 1855-1867 (Studies in African American History and Culture) by Patrick Minges, the following quote is attributed to Albert Pike, and shows a degree of racism.
"Prince Hall Lodge was as regular as any lodge created by competent authority, and had a perfect right to establish other lodges, and make itself a mother lodge. I am not inclined to meddle in this matter. I took my obligation to white men, not Negroes. When I have to accept Negroes as brothers, or leave Masonry, I shall leave it."On 16th April 1868, Pike wrote in The Daily Appeal, a newspaper he owned;
"With negroes for witnesses and jurors, the administration of justice becomes a blasphemous mockery. A Loyal League of negroes can cause any white man to be arrested, and can prove any charges it chooses to have made against him. ...The disenfranchised people of the South ... can find no protection for property, liberty or life, except in secret association.... We would unite every white man in the South, who is opposed to negro suffrage, into one great Order of Southern Brotherhood, with an organization complete, active, vigorous, in which a few should execute the concentrated will of all, and whose very existence should be concealed from all but its members."
Pike was friends with Nathan Bedford Forrest, a fellow Freemason and General in the Confederate Army. Forrest was a vicious slave-owner, and is accused of massacring several hundred Union troops who had surrendered at Fort Pillow in April 1864. He is also credited with creating the Ku Klux Klan, possibly with Pike.
Pike also wrote the Confederate version of "Dixie", which for whatever reason became the Confederate anthem, the lyrics of which are in the appendix.
The above indicates to me that Pike was
The point of this subsection, when taken with the section on the US Civil War in the chapter Money. Money. Money., is to show that, despite the Masonic whitewash of Pike, he was actually very active in pro-slavery political movements, and had long time relationships with friends, contacts and associates in pro-slavery organzations, who in my opinion were 'unsavoury'.
This indicates to me Pike's attitude to mankind, and suggests to me that Pike had the mentality to dream up the three-world-war plan outlined in this book.
Mazzini is known as a socialist revolutionary, but he was great friends with, and on the payroll of, James Stansfeld, Junior Lord of the Admiralty and senior member of British Intelligence, making Mazzini a stooge of the British government. Indeed, King Leopold of Belgium said to Queen Victoria that there was in London maintained
"...a sort of menagerie of Kossuths, Mazzinis, Legranges, Ledru-Rollins, etc. ... to let loose occasionally on the continent to render its quiet and prosperity impossible."
Mazzini formed Young Italy in 1831, which ran several revolts against the rulers of Italy, ending in the execution of Mazzini's colleagues and Mazzini seeking exile in London in 1837. He also created Young Europe in 1834 in an attempt to form a united Europe, and formed other revolutionary nationalistic organisations with names beginning with Young, for this aim. The assassins of Archduke Ferdinand, who by assassinating Ferdinand started World War 1, were members of Young Bosnia, and the intentions of Young Russia are briefly mentioned in the chapter World War 1. Mazzini and his Young organizations were guilty, and were implicated in a number, of assassinations, though curiously none of the vitims were British. He also created Young America to campaign for slavery to help in the division of The United States in preparation for the engineered 1861 Civil War. Stansfeld's sister-in-law Emily Ashurst married a fellow exile of Mazzini, Carlo Venturi, and there was deep friendship between them all. Emily became Mazzini's secretary. Stansfeld was a supporter of Italian unification and financed some of Mazzini's Italian adventures, including the Roman Republic following the 1848 revolutions on the continent after the publication of the Communist Manifesto that had been financed and nurtured in London. Stansfeld resigned after the Procureur Impèrial of France revealed that Stansfeld's address had been used by Mazzini (under the alias fiori, or flower) to receive mail from fellow conspirators in a plot to kill King Napoleon III. British Foreign Minister Lord Palmerston refused to accept the resignation. Mazzini was also Grand Master of the Grand Orient Of Italy, which put him right up there in the upper echelons of global freemasonry.
