Silver Squelchers Eighteen & Their Interesting Associates Silver Squelchers Eighteen & Their Interesting Associates High Powered Wall Street Attorneys in The Pilgrims Society Take 32 seconds to hear what should be The Pilgrims theme music! Presented July 2015 by Charles Savoie Please bear in mind that information as to confirmable members remains very limited; around 88% of members in London and New York are currently unidentifiable as to unquestionable documentation. Therefore, the influence this group has in various spheres is far greater than what these profiles suggest! The one exception is that we know that all Ambassadors to and from England are members, plus all British UN Ambassadors. American Ambassadors to the U.N. are chancier and many may end up at the level of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and may not rise higher, with an occasional exception. This detail on U.S. Ambassadors to the U.N. is current as of this writing or till we find the Society has taken all these U.N. Ambassadors into its fold. Robert Cutting Lawrence III, to be profiled in #26, Royalty & Noble Hereditary Ancestry in The Pilgrims, is a Wall Street attorney and could also be included here as could Sir Thomas Ronald Moore, also to be visited in twenty-six. A documentary about past members from the Wall Street legal community would reveal working control over the entire upper echelons legal system of the country. 1) James D. Zirin (Pilgrims United States, executive committee member) here’s his site where he states his membership--- married Marlene Hess, daughter of Leon Hess, who headed Amerada-Hess Petroleum Corporation from 1969 to 1995. Hess apparently wasn’t a member, or so it seems to me, because no roster is yet available for 1981 to 1995. Many fortunes are represented by marriage in The Pilgrims. As of 1984 Hess became sole owner of the New York Jets football team. That’s confirmation that the elite use professional sports to keep the public distracted from the legislative process, so we can continue to be screwed, in addition to using the mania of pro sports to vacuum money away from the public. At one time, Hess owned the world’s largest oil refinery and a chain of retail gasoline stations. Marlene Hess Zirin is a trustee of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. In a 1990 release, the New York Times called Marlene Hess a “banking executive” without naming any specific bank. It mentioned her father as chairman of the New York Jets football club. The Jets were later sold with Goldman Sachs handling the transaction. Marlene Hess got $55 million from the deal. As of 2014, her brother’s net worth was rated as $1.2 billion. Bloomberg reports that Marlene Hess is a trustee of North Shore Long Island Health System, Lenox Hill Hospital, and Rockefeller University. She has an office at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts--- Recent reporting shows $10.6 billion revenues and $2.6 billion net income--- Searching for members of The Pilgrims Society? There are always several to be found on the board of trustees of the Metropolitan Museum--- Part of Rockefeller University--- Left to right—Marlene Hess Zirin and James Zirin, Mercedes and billionaire Robert Bass (highly likely member) of Fort Worth and Mrs. Henry Kissinger--- Sidley Austin, the high powered corporate law firm Pilgrims Society official Zirin is associated with, traces its founding to John Leverett Thompson, who was a Brigadier General in the Union Army by the close of the Civil War. At http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/sidley- austin-brown-wood-history/ we read--- “One of the world’s largest law firms, Chicago-based Sidley Austin Brown & Wood is a legal powerhouse with several branch offices in the United States, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The firm has a long history in traditional industries such as electrical utilities, communications, and railroads. After World War II, it began serving clients in new areas such as healthcare, environmental affairs, and high technology. Its specialties cover the full range of a modern law practice, from intellectual property and real estate to mergers and acquisitions and complex financial transactions. As more businesses expand overseas, Sidley Austin Brown & Wood plays a major role in the world’s increasingly globalized economy.” Pilgrims Society member William David Morrison of The Trinity Group (billions) in London who we profile elsewhere, married into Russian nobility and became linked to The Duke of Westminster (Pilgrims Society and more billions) seen below in London with James Zirin at right--- As of 1913, the partnership was known as Holt, Cutting & Sibley. Cutting is a rather scarce name and considering the heavily interlocked nature of The Pilgrims Society, I’m thinking that particular fellow was a likely relation to Robert Fulton Cutting (Pilgrims 1924) who was president of Tropical Land Company and a director of City & Suburban Homes. RFC was known as “the First Citizen of New York” due to his amazing ancestry, including the old- line wealthy landowning Bayard dynasty. His lineage also included the Livingstons, who’ve been mentioned often in The Silver Squelchers, and an inventor of submarines who was also a canal developer; in fact, his heritage had links to quite a few other great dynasties notably the seriously moneyed Van Rensselaers. Read about Fulton Cutting in #1 Silver Squelchers. The 2005 Who’s Who in America, page 2698, shows a Robert Cutting Lawrence Jr. in The Pilgrims. Charles Sumner Holt (Who’s Who in America, 1914-1915, page 1147--- Holt wasn’t a member of the Gargoyle Society of Williams College, as that society was founded in 1895. However as a trustee of Williams College (Massachusetts) he’d have had some input into it. There’s an impressive national network of semi-secret societies at universities---these are above the fraternities. The main thing to notice about C.S. Holt is that he was connected to the McCormick dynasty of International Harvester (now Navistar International). The McCormicks owned huge amounts of Chicago real estate and had early representation in The Pilgrims Society. Additionally they became linked by marriage to the Rockefellers. The 1914-1915 volume, page 575, shows that the Cutting of the firm was born in Vermont, regionally speaking, a potential relation to the Robert Fulton Cutting of The Pilgrims already mentioned--- notice he was a Mason, and the entire USA legal system is pervaded still today by Masons (see any Who’s Who volume) --- Sidley Austin, where Zirin is senior counsel, has around 2,000 attorneys in offices in Beijing, Boston, Brussels, Chicago, Dallas, Geneva, Hong Kong, Houston, London, Los Angeles, New York, Palo Alto (California), San Francisco, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo and Washington, District of Columbia. The 1994 Who’s Who in America, page 3781 shows Zirin a law partner in Breed, Abbott & Morgan starting in 1972 and as of 1994 still in that position. BA & M is another Pilgrims law firm besides through Zirin. The listing shows during 1982-1984 Zirin was a vice president of the Federal Bar Council, which perhaps should have read Federal Bar Association. Zirin’s page at Sidley Austin, among other things, mentions the following--- (my re-wording and condensed) --- For three years Zirin was an assistant United States attorney in the financially infamous Southern District of New York, where the silver price fixing lawsuit was dismissed by Rockefeller agent Judge Patterson. During that time Zirin worked with Robert Morgenthau, son of the Treasury Secretary who in the FDR years stole gold and silver from the American public. For a 312 page report covering the infamous period of March 1933 through February 1937, with week by week, blow by blow coverage, see “Silver Confiscation---Facts & Prospects.” Robert Morgenthau’s grandfather, Henry Morgenthau Sr. (Pilgrims 1924) is described as “a real estate mogul and diplomat.” Clients of Zirin have included Rockefeller Foundation, Merrill Lynch, Citibank, the City of New York and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts (another Pilgrims Society project---see Amyas Ames, who was with the War Shipping Administration in World War II, Kidder, Peabody & Company and the Investment Bankers Association of America, whose grandfather was governor of Massachusetts). This quote is verbatim--- “He represented a Brazilian trader who was a significant figure in the silver debacle of 1979 and 1980.” The trader in the 1989 case was Lebanese born Brazilian tycoon Naji Nahas, who was defending against claims made by Mahmoud Fustock, an Arab associate in the Hunt brothers silver venture; his losses I haven’t seen, but one of his middle eastern associates lost around $600 million (see #10 Silver Squelchers, page 51). Nahas didn’t get all he attempted in court motions, which may have been how Zirin wanted it---notice his bias showing “the silver debacle.” The upper reaches of the legal community are contaminated by Pilgrims Society influence; the New York Law School Alumni Association has a Vanderbilt Award (named after a founding family of The Pilgrims) and the Fund for Modern Courts has the John Jay McCloy Memorial Award (named after one of the most important Pilgrims Society members representing the major Rockefeller faction in The Society). The FMC site features the name Engelhard, probably not a coincidence. At the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Zirin at right with his wife Marlene at left. Susan and David Rockefeller Jr. flanked by them. Junior is a Pilgrims Society member like his father and earlier ancestors, except that I currently have no way to prove it--- Zirin recovered over $100 million for Armco Steel against Allied Chemical---both Pilgrims Society interests. While monolithic, there are conflicts within the Society, but they’re always on the inside--- never favoring the public and the matter of the existence of The Pilgrims Society is kept in the dark---black as a raven’s wing in a coal mine at midnight, with the viewer blindfolded.

    Fossil Fuel Insurrectionists Since 2016, 65 Fossil Fuel Corporate PACS Contributed $8.8M to Members of Congress Who Denied Democracy and Supported Trump’s Push to Overturn the Election By Alan Zibel January 27, 2021 With President Joe Biden now in office, much of corporate America is trying to distance itself from the extremism, disdain for science and reactionary climate change denialism of the Trump era. Business groups including the National Association of Manufacturers denounced the January 6 invasion of the U.S. Capitol by former president Donald Trump’s supporters aiming to overturn the election. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and even the American Petroleum Institute endorsed President Biden’s decision to rejoin the Paris Agreement on climate change, even as the oil industry gears up to fight Biden’s plan to halt drilling on public lands and eliminate wasteful fossil fuel tax breaks. At the same time, corporations and their executives should not be excused for their longstanding support of Trump and the GOP agenda of fossil fuel exploitation and climate denialism. Oil companies bankrolled lawmakers who tried unsuccessfully to disenfranchise Americans’ votes, but that is only a symptom of the broader disease. During the Trump era, corporation after corporation stood silently seeking tax breaks and regulatory favors while Trump undermined the norms of American society and political system. Fossil fuel companies and their executives were some of the closest Trump allies as they stood to gain immensely from Trump administration favors. As such, they contributed generously to pro-Trump groups and congressional Republicans. A Public Citizen analysis of Federal Election Commission campaign finance data found that: • Sixty-five fossil fuel company political action committees have contributed $8.8 million [Table 3] over the past three election cycles to 132 [Table 4] out of 147 members of Congress who voted to challenge the electoral college outcome.

He forgave debt so nations could reinvest in health care, education, and poverty alleviation. He increased funding and research for lifesaving vaccines. And he signed the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) into law, which helped strengthen economic ties between the United States and Africa.

  • American Actress/Singer, Helen Hayes Award Nominee, and Recording Artist Mary Millben Has Been One of Oklahoma’S Best Kept Secrets – Until Now
    American Actress/Singer, Helen Hayes Award nominee, and recording artist Mary Millben has been one of Oklahoma’s best kept secrets – until now. For Mary, singing in church started it all. Referred to as a "Songbird,’ at a young age, Mary quickly overcame stage fright when repeatedly called on to sing in church by her mother – now a retired Pentecostal, music pastor and former classical soprano. Thanks to her mother, who raised Mary and her siblings as a divorced single parent, it was just a matter of time before this preacher's kid would go from the plains of the Midwest to the stages of the world. Through high school and college, Mary proudly represented the state of Oklahoma in public arenas as a young leader - thrust in front of U.S. Presidents, world figures and corporate America as a voice for those underrepresented. Mary was the presidential runner-up at the American Legion Auxiliary 1999 Girls Nation, gubernatorial runner-up at Oklahoma Girls State, and the Oklahoma delegate at the 1998 Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) World Congress in Washington, D.C. In college, Mary was elected the second African- American female Student Body President and the first African-American female Vice- President at the University of Oklahoma (OU) – governing 30,000 students. While serving in student leadership, Mary was a featured singer for University dinners and private events hosted by former Oklahoma U.S. Senator, Governor and now President of OU, David L. Boren. As a professional student, Mary served the state of Oklahoma at the Oklahoma State Department of Education, Crowe & Dunlevy Law Firm, and later Press Secretary & Director of Communications for the Oklahoma Republican Party under former Chairman Gary Jones.
