Then in 1913, Wilson was elected President after beating the former incumbent William Howard Taft, who was vehemently opposed to any privately owned central bank. Wilson’s guardian of the Federal Reserve Act was Colonel Edward M. House, who helped guide this Act through Congress. Colonel House had said the constitution was a product of:
“... eighteenth-century minds...was thoroughly outdated; that the country would be better off if the Constitution could be scrapped and rewritten ...”(5)
Coincidentally, World War I began in 1914, and as with all wars, it produced a large national debt and huge profits for this newly created oligarchy of private bankers. Baruch, the head of the War Industries Board; the Rockefellers; Cleveland Dodge, who sold munitions to the allies, the Rothschild’s, and J.P. Morgan who loaned hundreds of millions to subsidize the war, all benefited enormously with the U.S. entry into this world wide conflict. And just as planned by these multinational banks, the national debt suddenly went from $1 billion to $25 billion. Both Baruch and Rockefeller were reported to have earned more than $200 million in interest alone during World War I, all described in great detail in an article by William Blasé entitled “The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) And The New World Order.”
William Hoar reveals in “Architects of Conspiracy” that during the 1950s, government investigators examining the early records of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace found that the Carnegie trustees had actually planned to involve the U.S. in World War I, to set the stage for a world government under a global international banking system. Their main obstacle however, was the working class did not want war at that time, so they needed some type of provocation. This occurred when the Lusitania, carrying 128 Americans was sunk, resulting in considerable anti-German sentiment. What was not revealed at the time, however, was that the Lusitania was transporting war munitions to England, making it a legitimate target for the German subs. A last-minute add in a New York newspaper had actually discouraged passengers from buying tickets for that trip - and the majority of evidence pointed to a deliberate plan to have the ship sunk. German naval codes had been broken by the British, who knew approximately where the German U-boats were located. And according to Colin Simpson, in his book “The Lusitania,” Commander Joseph Kenworthy, of British Naval Intelligence, said:
“The Lusitania was deliberately sent at considerably reduced speed into an area where a U-boat was known to be waiting...escorts withdrawn.” (6)
As a result, America found itself involved in a European war. In fact, Colonel House had committed the U.S. to this conflict much earlier, and the working class actually had very little to say in the matter.
At that time, point fourteen of Wilson’s famous “fourteen points;” described the “general association of nations” recommending a One World Government, which was then the League of Nations. However, the League of Nations failed, and Pat Robertson, in “The New World Order,” states that Colonel House, along with other internationalists, finally realized that the people would not support any scheme for a world government. As a result, following World War I, it was secretly decided that two branches of a privately owned “Institute of International Affairs,” would be formed - one in the United States and one in England. Therefore The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) was incorporated as the American branch in New York on July 29, 1921. According to Gary Allen, in the October 1972 issue of “AMERICAN OPINION.” The privately selected founding members included Colonel House, and:
“... such potentates of international banking as J.P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Paul Warburg, Otto Kahn, and Jacob Schiff...the same clique that had engineered the establishment of the Federal Reserve System,” (7)
The CFR founding president was John W. Davis, J.P. Morgan’s personal attorney, while the vice-president was J.P. Cravath, who also represented the Morgan interests.
Professor Carroll Quigley characterized the CFR as:
“...a front group for J.P. Morgan and Company in association with the very small American Round Table Group.” (8)
Later, the Morgan influence was transferred to the Rockefeller’s monopoly, who found that One World Government (OWG) better fit Rockefeller’s stated business philosophy of “Competition is Sin.” Antony Sutton, a research fellow for the Hoover Institution for War, Revolution, and Peace - at Stanford University, wrote of this philosophy:
“While monopoly control of industries was once the objective of J.P. Morgan and J.D. Rockefeller … the most efficient way to gain an unchallenged monopoly was to ‘go political’ and make society [The working class] go to work for the monopolists-- under the name of the public good and the public interest.” (9)
As a result, these powerful consulting groups soon began to politically influence and replace our duly appointed representatives. And as the Money Baron’s large privately owned corporations went international, they soon realized they needed a one world system for greater control. And although this had been their plan since the time of Colonel House, they first had to weaken the U.S. politically and economically if they were to ever gain total control. When the stock market crashed in 1929, many small investors were ruined, but not the Money Barons - they got out of the market according to Allen and Abraham’s book, “None Dare Call it Conspiracy,” with their fortunes intact. And as a result, the Money Barons bought companies for a fraction of their worth, as once again their wealth increased by dimensions.
Louis McFadden, Chairman of the House Banking Committee declared:
“It was not accidental. It was a carefully contrived occurrence...The international bankers sought to bring about a condition of despair here so that they might emerge as rulers of us all.” (10)
There is much more to say about this contrived depression and the Money Baron’s plans to take over our federal government, but after having forced the working class back into bondage, they now were required to help the next president prevent a total collapse of our government. Fortunately, in November 1932, in the midst of the depression, this nation was blessed with a truly unbiased leader named Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR), who was appointed to the Presidency for his first of four terms. Clearly FDR was a leader who helped the working class to regain their faith in themselves. He was a man that was capable of demonstrating indomitable courage for others because he had previously been stricken with crippling poliomyelitis in the summer of 1921 at the age of 39, never regaining the use of his legs. Having fought endlessly and hopelessly to try and walk, he was certainly qualified to extend compassion to others, a characteristic that perhaps overshadowed the wealthy banking aristocracy he was raised in. Following his affliction, he frequently traveled to Warm Springs, Georgia, where he swam in the natural therapeutic hot springs and visited with others that were being treated for similar disabilities. In fact, few people even realized FDR was disabled, because he seldom appeared in public in his wheel chair. Prior to his Presidency, he’d dramatically stood with crutches at the 1924 Democratic Convention to nominate Alfred E. Smith, because he didn’t want the public to see he was disabled. Later, when he became President, FDR brought hope in his first Inaugural Address when he famously asserted:
“the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” (11) [In direct opposition to today where fear is used as a political tactic to justify an unjust war]
He also promised prompt and vigorous action to correct the problems of “The Great Depression” - and then proceeded to do just that. In his first term, he implemented several federal and state programs, and because the banks had suddenly shut down, people really needed financial help. Almost everyone had lost their savings and it was estimated that some thirteen million people were unemployed. This prompted him to implement programs for businesses and agriculture and relief to the unemployed, along with financial assistance for those in danger of losing their farms
