  • What They Did to Silver!
    What They Did to Silver! Presented February 2014 by Charles Savoie I want to acquaint interested parties with some historical particulars concerning attacks against silver from the cartelized London/New York financial community and their subalterns in the U.S. and U.K. governments. I want us to look at a selection of only 15 men (there are many others) who have struck very hard blows against silver over the last century. Europe is not excluded; however the top powers that be in Europe historically shifted base of operations from the continent to London for the clear geopolitical reason that the English Channel and the North Sea are better military invasion insulators than any mainland European country has against its neighbors---in the same manner as a moat encircling a castle. There are endless arguments about groups struggling for power and a great deal of history to sift through. I had to reject arguments that the Vatican, the Pope, the Jesuits et al achieved or recaptured a whip hand over the Anglo-American power bloc. Central banking has been the cornerstone of world power for centuries and this is an invention of Britain over a century after Papal power was decisively rebuffed for the last time when the Spanish Armada fell to Britain in 1588. Plenty of power remains in Europe, of course, represented in such groups as Bilderberg, the former Europe-America Conferences, Trilateral Commission and the Club of Rome. Other important groups include the Club of the Isles, a creation of the British Royals, Le Cercle and the 1001 Club.

  • Who Controls the Gold Stealing New York Fed Bank? Presented January 2014 by Charles Savoie “WE HAVE the QUESTION of GOLD UNDER CONSTANT SURVEILLANCE
    Who Controls The Gold Stealing New York Fed Bank? Presented January 2014 by Charles Savoie “WE HAVE THE QUESTION OF GOLD UNDER CONSTANT SURVEILLANCE. WE HAVE BEEN UNDER ATTACK BECAUSE OF OUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS GOLD. A FREE GOLD MARKET IS HERESY. THERE IS NO SENSE IN A MAKE BELIEVE FREE GOLD MARKET. GOLD HAS NO USEFUL PURPOSE TO SERVE IN THE POCKETS OF THE PEOPLE. THERE IS NO HIDDEN AGENDA.” ---Pilgrims Society member Allan Sproul, president of Federal Reserve Bank of New York, 1941-1956. “ANY ATTEMPT TO WRITE UP THE PRICE OF GOLD WOULD ASSUREDLY BE MATCHED, WITHIN HOURS, BY COMPARABLE AND OFFSETTING ACTION.” ---Robert V. Roosa, Pilgrims Society, in “Monetary Reform for the World Economy” (1965). Roosa was with the New York Federal Reserve Bank, 1946-1960 when he moved to Treasury to fight silver coinage! “The most powerful international society on earth, the “Pilgrims,” is so wrapped in silence that few Americans know even of its existence since 1903.” ---E.C. Knuth, “The Empire of The City: World Superstate” (Milwaukee, 1946), page 9. “A cold blooded attitude is a necessary part of my Midas touch!” ---financier Scott Breckenridge in “The Midas Man,” April 13, 1966 “The Big Valley” The Pilgrims Society is the last great secret of modern history! ******************** Before gold goes berserk like Godzilla rampaging across Tokyo--- and frees silver to supernova---let’s have a look into backgrounds of key Federal Reserve personalities, with special focus on the New York Federal Reserve Bank. The NYFED is the center of an international scandal regarding refusal (incapacity) to return German-owned gold.

  • The Social and Political Views of American Professors
    THE SOCIAL AND POLITICAL VIEWS OF AMERICAN PROFESSORS Neil Gross Harvard University [email protected] Solon Simmons George Mason University [email protected] Working Paper, September 24, 2007 Comments and suggestions for revision welcome In 1955, Columbia University sociologist Paul Lazarsfeld received a grant from The Ford Foundation’s newly established Fund for the Republic – chaired by former University of Chicago President Robert M. Hutchins – to study how American social scientists were faring in the era of McCarthyism. A pioneering figure in the use of social surveys, Lazarsfeld employed interviewers from the National Opinion Research Center and Elmo Roper and Associates to speak with 2451 social scientists at 182 American colleges and universities. A significant number of those contacted reported feeling that their intellectual freedom was being jeopardized in the current political climate (Lazarsfeld and Thielens 1958). In the course of his research, Lazarsfeld also asked his respondents about their political views. Analyzing the survey data on this score with Wagner Thielens in their 1958 book, The Academic Mind, Lazarsfeld observed that liberalism and Democratic Party affiliation were much more common among social scientists than within the general population of the United States, and that social scientists at research universities were more liberal than their peers at less prestigious institutions. Although The Academic Mind was published too late to be of any help in the fight against McCarthy (Garfinkel 1987), it opened up a new and exciting area of sociological research: study of the political views of academicians. Sociologists of intellectual life, building on the contributions of Karl Marx, Max Weber, Karl Mannheim, and others, had 1 long been interested in the political sympathies of intellectuals (see Kurzman and Owens 2002), but most previous work on the topic had been historical in nature and made sweeping generalizations on the basis of a limited number of cases.
