  • Special Articles HERBERT H
    Special Articles HERBERT H. LEHMAN: IN MEMORIAM BY LOUIS FINKELSTEIN T A HE passing of Herbert H. Lehman was a profound loss to all who had labored with him for the welfare of the Jewish community and, indeed, to all in our country and throughout the world who had shared his concern for humanity. To a nation still mourning the untimely death of its young president, the loss of this second life, long an inspiration to the forces of enlightenment, deepened the sense of desolation and dark- ness that hung over those tragic days. The nation lost more than a venerated statesman whose dedication to the cause of justice and humanity had made his name a legend throughout the world. Lehman the idealist, the man of action, the man of courage, stood as the shining symbol of America at its finest. No one more truly represented the spirit of liberty and brotherhood so deeply rooted in the history of this country than this second-generation American Jew. For traditions and teachings older than the country itself had contributed to mold his character and to fire him with the passion for social justice that illumined his entire life. Sixty years of that life had been devoted to the service of his fellow- man, crowded years of dedication and unremitting industry, marked by milestones of progress and reform. His interests had led him to vastly different areas of activity, in national and international affairs, in the government of city and state, in the realm of commerce and labor, in the world of education and philanthropy.

In the late nineteenth century, Berenson and the Lehmans were equally influenced by America's growing fascination with European culture. specifically that of the Italian Renaissance.

  • Some Rothschild Reps in the Pilgrims Society!
    SOME ROTHSCHILD REPS IN THE PILGRIMS SOCIETY! Presented October 2018 By Charles Savoie www.silverstealers.net www.nosilvernationalization.org https://www.facebook.com/charles.savoie.96387 "THE ROTHSCHILDS WERE ACCUSED OF HAVING CONSPIRED TO DEMONETIZE SILVER AND CORNER THE GOLD SUPPLY."--- New York Times, March 8, 1931, section 9, page 3. People overlook the enormous role in gold-silver manipulations by such operators as Jay Gould, Collis P. Huntington, Alvinza Hayward, Lloyd Tevis, James B. Haggin and Darius O. Mills, to cite several prominent names from the 1800s. Haggin and Mills lived to become Pilgrims Society members in its early years (at least as of 1906); fortunes left by the other men came to also be represented, with the exception of Hayward, unless evidence surfaces. Huntington boasted “Whatever is not nailed down is mine. Whatever I can pry loose is mine” Huntington’s monstrous fortune from railroads, gold mining and land is held in trust by Miner Hill Warner, current president of The Pilgrims NYC--- I’ve often stressed that the Rothschilds are hardly by themselves atop the sphere of high finance, and I’ve substantiated this situation with a great many details, including finance overlords who the Rothschilds always lost out to, and I do mean “always” --- https://www.silvermarketnewsonline.com/articles/ MiningKingpinOpposedSilverMoney_Savoie They wanted a high ounce gold mine Haggin held in Mexico, he rebuffed them; they turned tail and ran. Haggin masterfully whipped them in five of five rounds in the world copper market, dominating the Anaconda mine in Montana and Cerro De Pasco in Peru that added staggeringly to his already insane fortune due to the world electricalization boom of the 1890s.

  • The Lehman Family in 1928, Pranklin 1. Roosevelt Was Elected Governor of the State of New York. the Man Who Ran with Him For
    The Lehman Family In 1928, Pranklin 1. Roosevelt was elected Governor of the State of New York. The man who ran with him for Lieutenant- Governor was little mentioned at the time. Pour year? later, when Franklin I). Roosevelt was elected President of the United States the people of the State chose this Lieutenant-Governor to fill the vacancy in Albany. In 1938, the people confirmed the same man for four more years in office. Thus, he achieved a feat which ncjbne else accomplished before him. The man who rose so high in the political life of the United States is Herbert Henry Lehman. He is the son of Mayer * ; Lehman who came to this country from Prussia in the middle l& of the last century. N~" "* As many other German jews who distinguished themselves later in the United States - e.g. the Straus's, the Er- langerfs - Mayer Lehman did not stay in New York but moved to the South. In Montgomery, Alabama, he opened a cotton business which attained a large significance during the time of the Civil Tar. Montgomery was then capital of the South^ and cotton its main article of export. Mayer Lehman's business flourished, and his prestige in the city and the South grew equally. Jefferson JDavis, President of the Con- federate States of America, was one of his friends. After the Civil Tar was over the merchant was attracted hy the new metropolis of commerce, Hew York. Here it was that Mayer Lehman, with his brother Emmanuel, founded the banking house of Lehman Brothers which has developed since to one of the biggest private banking institutions in the United States.

Hunt, whose spectacular business success blinded the public to his brilliant philosophical achievements. It was H.L. Hunt who invented the term “The Mistaken” for the self-corrupted members of the new class who now control our world – he might have added that they could also be described as “The Misshapen”, because of their warped and perverted sense of values.

  • Transcript of the Spoken Word, Rather Than Written Prose
    THE RULE OF LAW ORAL HISTORY PROJECT The Reminiscences of Jane M. Mayer Columbia Center for Oral History Columbia University 2013 PREFACE The following oral history is the result of a recorded interview with Jane M. Mayer conducted by Ronald J. Grele on December 28, 2012 and July 24, 2013. This interview is part of the Rule of Law Oral History Project. The reader is asked to bear in mind that s/he is reading a verbatim transcript of the spoken word, rather than written prose. VJD Session One Interviewee: Jane M. Mayer Location: New York, NY Interviewer: Ronald J. Grele Date: December 28, 2012 Q: Let me begin with the dedication in The Dark Side. It's to your parents and your grandparents. So I wonder if we can start with your early life, really concentrating on two kinds of areas—how you became a journalist and, also, the evolution of your political views. So let's start with your family. You were born in New York? Mayer: I was born at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in 1955. I grew up in Riverdale, New York, which is part of the Bronx and went to the Fieldston School, which probably was a good part of my political training without my having any awareness of it at the time. It's a progressive school in many ways and had a particular outlook on the world. It was an Ethical Culture school—which some people call an "ethical vulture school" because it's so filled with upwardly- mobile, grasping people. But, just the same, they taught us ethics there.
