Soviet Russia was allowed to emerge from
the destruction of World War II as one of the victors, solely because she
was needed as the next “evil empire” against which the civilized West could
launch a new Crusade. Because Russia was bankrupt, had lost 40 million of
her population in the war, plus another 66 million murdered by the
Bolsheviki since 1917, and was unable to feed herself, once again the World
Order was obliged to step in with enormous subsidies of food and material
from the U.S., in order to maintain an “enemy power”. The Belgian Relief
Commission of 1916 became the Marshall Plan of 1948. Once again, the loads
of supplies were shipped into Europe, ostensibly for our Allies, but
destined to maintain the Soviet bloc.Although Jacob
Schiff’s personal agent, George Kennan, had regularly toured Russia during
the latter part of the nineteenth century, bringing in money and arms for
the Communist revolutionaries (his grandson said that Schiff had spent $20
million to bring about the Bolshevik Revolution) more concerted aid was
called for to support an entire regime. Kennan also aided Schiff in
financing the Japanese in the Russo-Japanese War of 1905; the Japanese
decorated Kennan with the Gold War Medal and the Order of the Sacred
Treasure. In 1915, the American International Corporation was formed in New
York. Its principal goal was the coordination of aid, particularly
financial assistance, to the Bolsheviks which had previously been provided
by Schiff and other bankers on an informal basis. The new firm was funded
by J.P. Morgan, the Rockefellers, and the National City Bank. Chairman of
the Board was Frank Vanderlip, former president of National City, and member
of the Jekyll Island group which wrote the Federal Reserve Act in 1910;
directors were Pierre DuPont, Otto Kahn of Kuhn, Loeb Co., George Herbert
Walker, grandfather of Vice President George H. Bush, William Woodward,
director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; Robert S. Lovett,
righthand man of the Harriman-Kuhn, Loeb Union Pacific Railroad; Percy
Rockefeller, John DiRyan, J.A. Stillman, son of James Stillman principal
organizer of the National City Bank; A.H. Wiggin, and Beekman Winthrop.
The 1928 list of AIC directors included Percy Rockefeller, Pierre DuPont,
Elisha Walker of Kuhn, Loeb Co., and Frank Altschul of Lazard Freres. In
their program of aiding the Communists, AIC worked closely with Guaranty
Trust of New York (now Morgan Guaranty Trust). Guaranty Trust’s directors
in 1903 included George F. Baker, founder of the First National Bank; August
Belmont, representative of the Rothschilds; E.H. Harriman, founder of Union
Pacific Railroad; former vice president of the U.S., Levi Morton, who was a
director of U.S. Steel and the Union Pacific; Henry H. Rogers, partner of
John D. Rockefeller in Standard Oil, also a director of Union Pacific; H.
McK. Twombly, who married the daughter of William Vanderbilt, and was now
the director of fifty banks and industries; Frederick W. Vanderbilt, and
Harry Payne Whitney.
No one would seriously believe that bankers of this
magnitude would finance an “anti-capitalist” revolution for the Communists,
yet this is exactly what happened. These same men financed Woodrow Wilson’s
political campaigns, and it was these same men to whom Wilson referred in
his opening address to the Paris Peace Conference, when he said, “There is
moreover a voice calling for these definitions of principles and purposes
which is, it seems to me, more thrilling and more compelling than any of the
moving voices with which the troubled air of the world is filled. It is the
voice of the Russian people. There are men in the United States of the
finest temper who are in sympathy with Bolshevism because it appears to them
to offer that regime of opportunity to the individual which they desire to
bring about.” (The Great Conspiracy Against Russia, Seghers and Kahn.) The
men of “the finest temper”, to whom Wilson referred, the Morgans and the
Rockefellers, did not really desire opportunity for the individual; what
they desired was the lifelong imposition of slavery under the World Order,
and this is the goal which they continue to strive to achieve, on a world
wide basis.
These Americans “of the finest temper” chose Lenin to do
their work because he had outlined the plan they wanted in “The Threatening
Catastrophe” in September, 1917, “1. nationalisation of the banks.
Ownership of capital which is manipulated by the banks is not lost or
changed when the banks are nationalised and fused into one state bank, so
that it is possible to reach a stage where the state knows whither and how,
from where and at what time millions and billions are flowing. Only control
over bank operations providing they are merged into one state bank will
allow, simultaneously with other measures which can easily be put into
effect the actual levying of income tax without concealment of property and
income. The state for the first time would be in a position to survey all
the monetary operations, then to control them, then to regulate economic
life. FINALLY, to obtain millions and
billions for large state operations, without paying the capitalist gentlemen
skyhigh commissions for their services. It would facilitate the
nationalisation of syndicates, abolition of commercial secrets, the
nationalisation of the insurance business, facilitate the control of and the
compulsory organization of labor into unions, and the regulation of
consumption. The nationalisation of banks would make circulation of checks
compulsory by law for all the rich, and introduce the confiscation of
property for concealing incomes. The five points of the desired program
then, are nationalisation of the banks, nationalisation of the syndicates,
the abolition of commercial secrets, and the compulsory organization of the
population into consumer associations.”
It was the publication of this program which catapulted
Lenin into the leadership of Russia via the Bolshevik Revolution. In 1917,
Frank Vanderlip publicly referred to Lenin as “the modern version of George
Washington.”
The Lenin program is not only the program of Soviet Russia
– it is the program of Roosevelt’s New Deal, Truman’s Socialism, the postwar
Labor Government in England, and the guiding principle of subsequent
American Administrations. The Labor Government of England proved Lenin’s
dictum that the ownership of capital is not affected by the nationalisation
of the banks, when they nationalised the Bank of England. The Lenin program
is the entire program of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, “the actual
levying of income tax without concealment of property or income”, “the
confiscation of property for concealing incomes”. The Lenin program is the
program of the big rich precisely because it abolishes private property, and
puts it under the control of the state. The state is controlled by the big
rich, the World Order.
The definitive authority of the Lenin program captured the
attention of the financiers. Here was the opportunity to subdue and control
all future competition with the power of a totalitarian state, to stifle
future development, and to hold the entire population of the world in thrall
to their greed. This program took Lenin back to Moscow to seize the
government by force and to rule by terrorism. In “Germany and the Russian
Revolution”, we find Telegram No. 952 D 2615, State Sec. to min in
Copenhagen: Your Embassy is authorized to pay one million roubles to
Helphand. The corresponding sum should be drawn from the Legation assets.
Minister Copenhagen 23 Jan. 1916 – Dr. Helphand; “The sum
of a million roubles already reached Petrograd, and devoted to the purposes
for which it was intended.” On May 8, 1916, Berlin requested 130,000 M. for
Russian propaganda. Under Secretary State to the Minister in Bern, telegram
No. 348; “It was considered advantageous to Germany to bring out the
members of Lenin’s party, the Bolsheviks, who are about forty in number.
The special train will be under military escort.”
Vernadsky says, in his “Life of Lenin”,
“In the autumn of 1915, the German Russian Social
Democrat Parvus Helphand (Israel Lazarevitch) who had formerly been active
in the Revolution of 1905, announced the paper published by him in Berlin,
‘The Bell’, his mission to ‘serve as an intellectual link between the
armed Germans and the revolutionary Russian proletariat ...... During the
war Helphand was engaged in furnishing supplies to the Germany army in
huge quantities, and so considerable amounts of money passed through his
hands .... A railway car in which were Lenin, Martov, and other exiles was
attached to the train leaving for Germany from Switzerland on April 8,
1917. On April 13, Lenin embarked on the steamer sailing from Sassnitz to
Sweden. So the trip through Germany took at least four days.”
The Leninists quickly exhausted the funds advanced by the
Germans when they reached Russia, and once again the Bolshevik bid for
absolute power seemed in doubt. To whom should Lenin turn but his powerful
friend in the White House ? Wilson promptly sent Elihu Root, Kuhn Loeb
lawyer and former Secretary of State, to Russia with $20 million from his
Special War Fund, to be given to the Bolsheviks. This was revealed in
Congressional Hearings on Russian Bonds, HJ 8714.U5, which shows the
financial statement of Woodrow Wilson’s expenditure of the $100 million
voted him by Congress as a Special War Fund. The statement, showing the
expenditure of $20 million in Russia by Root’s Special War Mission to
Russia, is also recorded in the Congressional Record, Sept. 2, 1919, as
given by Wilson’s secretary, Joseph Tumulty.
Not to be outdone in generosity, J.P. Morgan & Co. also
rushed financial assistance to the beleaguered Lenin terrorists. Col.
Raymond Robins headed a Red Cross Mission to Russia. Henry P. Davison, J.P.
Morgan’s righthand man (also a member of the Jekyll Island team which
secretly wrote the Federal Reserve Act in 1910), had raised $370 million in
cash for the Red Cross during World War I, of which several millions were
brought to the Russians by Robins team. Aiding him in this charitable work
were Frank Vanderlip, chairman of American International Corp., and William
Boyce Thompson, another director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Major Harold H. Swift, head of the meat packing family, accompanied Robins
on this mission of mercy, or should we say business ? Swift used the
occasion to garner a $10 million meat order for his brother-in-law, Edward
Morris, of Morris Co. On Jan. 22, 1920, the Soviets ordered another $50
million of meat from Morris Co.
Wall Street lawyer Thomas D. Thacher was also a key man of
the Robins mission of mercy. The involvement of the J.P. Morgan firm with
the Bolshevik Revolution is revealed in Harold Nicholson’s biography of
Dwight Morrow (Morrow was the father-in-law of Charles Lindbergh Jr.) as
follows,
“His (Morrow’s) interest in Russia dated from March 1917
when Thomas D. Thacher, his law partner, had been a member of the American
Red Cross Mission during the revolution. It was strengthened by his
friendship with Alex Gumberg, who had come to New York as representative
of the All-Russian Textile Syndicate. ‘I have felt,’ he wrote in May
1927, ‘that the time would come when something would have to be done for
Russia.’ He was himself active in furthering official relations between
Soviet emissaries and the State Dept., and he provided M. Litvinov with a
warm letter of recommendation to Sir Arthur Salter in Geneva. Nor was
this all. When in Paris he gave a dinner party at Foyot’s to which he
invited M. Rakovsky and other Soviet representatives.”
Morrow’s actions might be understandable in a professor of
economics at Polytechnic U., but they are incredible from a partner of the
world’s most prominent banking firm. Alex Gumberg was no mewling social
worker but a hardcore propagandist, who returned to the U.S. in 1918 as
Trotsky’s literary agent, and promptly placed two Trotsky manuscripts with
publishers. Gumberg also became consultant to Chase National Bank, and
Simpson Thacher and Bartlett. He had been business manager of the Soviet
paper Novy Mir during the first months of revolution in Russia; when
Raymond Robins’ Red Cross Mission arrived in Russia, Gumberg served as
interpreter and advisor to the Mission, working closely with Thacher. The
present senior partner of Simpson Thacher and Bartlett is Cyrus Vance, who
served as Carter’s Secretary of State, and is now a director of the
Rockefeller Foundation.
