And Men Wept AND MEN WEPT by CATHERINE PALFREY BALDWIN AND MEN WEPT by CATHERINE PALFREY BALDWIN with a foreword by DOROTHY T. FALES An American Book for Americans 1954 OUR PUBLICATIONS P. 0. BOX 111 Gracie Station 211 E. 87th Street New York 28. N. Y. Copyright, 1955, by Catherine P. Baldwin • All rights reserved Printed in the United States of Ame,ica To COLONEL WILLIAM PALFREY Gentleman, Soldier, Patriot Paymaster General with General George Washington at Valley Forge and Cambridge The first to have given his life for the New Republic Do I dedicate this book. May my courage and patriotism always be as his. That I shall never falter in duty to my native land. FOREWORD "FOR ONLY THOSE ARE FIT TO LIVE WHO ARE NOT AFRAID TO DIE" (words of General Douglas Mac Arthur) It takes knowledge and patriotic moral courage to compile the irrefut- able facts found in the pages of "And Men Wept", and to present it to the public. I hope that it may clarify the confusion in political thinking which has overtaken many Americans. A confusion and frustration seem- ingly among all classes—rich and poor—and among the various religions. I want to quote for you Ralph Waldo Emerson: — "One of the best ways to remain ignorant is to close your mind to all new thought". The author of -And Men Wept" has dealt with these facts so that the reader may make his own conclusions. We have found it difficult to include some of the names mentioned and hope our many friends and acquaintances will understand that the chips must fall where they may in a book of this nature, even though it is in their own family. When one is fond of personable people, outside of their political views, forthrightness and honesty are put to the test. However, Daniel Webster clarified this for us when he so ably said:— "Let our object be our country, our whole country and nothing but our country and by the blessings of God, may that country itself become the vast and splendid monument, not of oppression and terror, but of wisdom, of peace and of liberty upon which the world may gaze with admiration forever." No better advice than that given to this country by General George Washington could be found. For this reason I wish to include it here. -Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence . the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government." "But that jealousy, to be useful, must be impartial else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike for another, causes those whom they actuate to see danger only for one side and serve to veil and even second the acts of influence on the other." "Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people to surrender their influence." Dorothy Fales. PREFACE AND MEN WEPT:- This was the outstanding remark after the Republican Convention, Chicago, 1952. Why did they weep? Did they suddenly realize that unwittingly perhaps, unknowingly, they had been part of the betrayal of their country? Never was there a more flagrant flouting of the will of the American people and the Constitution of the United States of America. The man the American people wanted as their leader was lost to them, it was the zero hour, hearts were heavy, gloom was everywhere. General Douglas Mac Arthur, it was planned, was to be nominated on the second ballot, but the powers that be saw to it that there was no second ballot. WITH KNOWLEDGE COMES RESPONSIBILITY. Would any true American shirk the responsibility that is his as an American citizen if he had the knowledge? Had he the knowledge would he have permitted our sons to be sent to the far corners of the globe to police the world and to aid in setting up a world government? How many American boys lie beneath the sod, how many more are blinded, maimed for life, without arms or legs, mentally gone, and the end is not in sight. This knowledge was available to you but you could not believe, your heads were turned away, some in scorn and some in ridicule. Billions of dollars have been spent and more are planned to be spent and the taxes will fall not alone upon you, but upon those yet unborn for generations to come. We are facing WORLD WAR III, it is just around the corner, will you listen and will you act before we are a com- pletely lost nation? For this reason alone is this book presented for your reading, for:- WITH KNOWLEDGE COMES RESPONSI- BILITY. CONTENTS Declaration of Independence 1 Nicholas M.

I was taught the meaning of the Bill of Rights. In my youth, children in school, as well as at home, were taught the meaning of Bunker Hill, June 17th was a day commemorated, as was April 19th, when we celebrated the battles of Concord and Lexington. We were not taught hate, as our enemies would have us believe, we were taught the meaning of our freedom, the price we paid to attain it. We knew about the Boston Tea Party, why the tea was dumped in the harbor rather than pay the heavy taxes levied on it. We were taught the meaning of the Stamp Act and when the Fourth of July came it was given particular attention as the day of our Independence. For weeks men worked to build two large bonfires, one on Castle Hill, the other on Gallows Hill, tar barrels were piled high, old sleepers from the railroad tracks were covered with tar and placed on the pile, at the top for days flew the Stars and Stripes. At midnight, July 3rd, after an evening of music and fireworks, some man climbed the ladder at the side, the Stars and Stripes were brought down, the barrels were lighted. It was a bonfire that could be seen for miles around, it burned into the early hours of the morning, sometimes until six o'clock. No one thought of sleeping, old and young were awake, it was the day of our Independence, we thought, from the taxation and the tyranny of the British. Some of you will remember those days, some will never have heard of them for a strange silence of those days has come over our beloved country, a silence that bears a serious and tragic omen. What the Founders of this Republic fought and died for is fast slipping from our grasp, down through the years many attempts to wrest from us that well earned liberty have been made. England has never forgotten the wealth she lost when we gained our Independence. First it was the war of 1812 when the Red Coats burned the White House and sacked Washington, later they took part in our unfortunate Civil War, in the attempt to divide the North and the South, thus could they have taken over the country. Later an attempt was made to divide the country, East from the West, by such means did they try to starve the industrial East from the agricultural West. The British Empire was expanding, but it was also growing weak, for while Britain was busy exploiting countries, other countries increased their trade. This was particularly true at the time of the Boer War. Britain depends on her trade for her very existence, their boast has always been: "Brittania rules the waves'', by this control of the seas they were in a position to carry the trade, both raw materials and the finished product. Thus could they dominate. At the end of the Boer War they found themselves in competition with the German people. Germany had been building boats, while England was at war, and was securing the trade that had gone to England. As the years went by and Germany prospered, something had to be done about it. During the years of 1910-1911 England realized that the situation for her was not good, they realized that a war was in the offing, it was at this time that Lord Asquith offered Winston Churchill the post: Head of the Admiralty. The culmination came in 1914 when World War 1 broke out, it was a trade and economic war. Contrary to the advice of our all wise Founding Fathers, this country was drawn into the vortex of the intrigue. For a while it was a question whether we would go on the side of England or Germany. The J. P. Mor- gan banking house was the fiscal banker for the British and the French, they used not only their own funds but called on the bankers around the country. Things were not going so well for the Allies, England had her back to the wall, more help was needed, the bankers around the country were alarmed, they had loaned—other people's money, they called J.

    ARUNDEL CASTLE ARCHIVES Vol IV A CATALOGUE Edited by Francis W Steer Preface Unlike its predecessors, this fourth volume of the catalogue of the archives at Arundel Castle will have to remain in manuscript until either printing costs are reduced or a new and economical process of reproduction is invented. This situation is a matter for regret on two counts as it spoils a series of printed books which have been of assistance to scholars all over the world and it is going to make the definitive edition of the catalogue of this vast collection of archives more difficult for someone to compile in the future. This volume, so far as manuscript permits, follows the style of the other three. It contains (pp1-65) a vast accumulation of records (mainly drafts although some are of special interest and importance) which Messrs Few & Co. (solicitors to the Dukes of Norfolk since 1815) must have transferred to Norfolk House, St James‟s Square, London, over 90 years ago. The documents are in excess of 9,200 and demonstrate, in particular, the litigious character of Bernard Edward, 12th Duke of Norfolk (1765-1842) and the immense amount of work which accrued to his solicitors; they also show the policy with regard to the dispersal and/or consolidation of estates – sometimes to pay off enormous mortgages and at other times to simplify that difficult administration of what was a huge and scattered estate extending into several counties. The catalogue (1965) of the Arundel documents deposited at Sheffield City Library should not be forgotten by students concerned with properties in Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

    Notes Chapter 1: Introduction 1 Labour Leader, 23June 1905. 2 A. J. P. Taylor, English History 1914-1945 (Oxford, 1965) p. 1. It was certainly unlikely that the average Englishman would have been unaware of the existence oflocal government institutions.lfMr Taylor's statement is meant to apply to national government it is worth pointing out that the police were organised and controlled on a local basis. 3 G. Kitson Clark, The Making of Victorian England (1965) p. 109. On the proliferation of government agencies see D. Roberts, The Victorian Origins of the British Welfare State (New Haven, 1960) pp. 327-33. The philosophy underlying Victorian legislation has been the subject of a lengthy and by now rather pointless academic debate. It has been conveniently summarised by A. J.

Copyright May 2005 Charles Savoie “The mysterious, super-elite Pilgrim Society.” “The most illustrious world-wide personalities.” “The most distinguished international organization in the world.” “The Pilgrims Society remained hidden until relatively recent years, to identify the apex of power.” (referenced towards end of document) Plundering International Looter$ Gaining Riche$, Injuring Megamillion$ $ecretly = PILGRIMS! If this is your first read on this organization, I suggest you obtain the introductory background first by reading the December 2004 item in the Archives. (For the rest of you, take note---silver and silver mining will be mentioned around 50 times). If you have followed the series to date, I have other disturbing case material with which to inform you. There is a boatload of fascinating material I hope to acquaint you with. And you should be fiercely interested in this Society---the rich families behind central banking---because they are interested in you, to your great detriment! And they do not wish their identities known; else they’d release a membership list. A movie quote (“They Live” 1988)--- “We could be pets, we could be food, but all we really are is livestock!” The Pilgrims could protest, if they chose to, that I class them as a secret society. Actually they don’t meet the criteria for that definition by every measure that exists. No elitist organization appears to meet that standard, but these things are a matter of relative basis. When not one person in 10,000 has ever heard of an organization that dominates their destiny, it’s secret.

  • 'Ambulant Amateurs': the Rise and Fade of the Anglo-German Fellowship
    ‘Ambulant amateurs’: the rise and fade of the Anglo-German Fellowship Charles Spicer Institute of Historical Research School of Advanced Study University of London Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2018 1 I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is entirely my own. ………………………………………….. Date …………….. 2 Abstract This thesis chronicles the fortunes of the Anglo-German Fellowship, the British society founded in 1935 that advocated friendship with Hitler’s Germany up to its suspension in October 1939 following the outbreak of war. Drawing on newly discovered and previously overlooked primary sources, thematic and chronological methods are combined to explore how the Fellowship’s leaders played a bigger role in the diplomatic crises of the late 1930s than previously acknowledged. Supported by its sister organisation in Germany, the Fellowship attracted support from British royal, political, diplomatic, aristocratic, business, financial, military, sporting and intelligence elites with its membership reaching nine hundred by 1938. Funded by business and financial interests and patronised by Anglo-German royalty, it was influenced by the German high command, welcomed by elements of the British establishment and infiltrated by British, German, Russian and Jewish intelligence agents. To the extent it has been covered in the secondary literature, those assessing the Fellowship have classed it alongside the nasty, the eccentric and the irrelevant within ‘the Fellow Travellers of the Right’ tradition. This thesis challenges those stereotypes, arguing that it has been consequently misinterpreted and underestimated both by scholars and in popular culture over the last eighty years. Using primary sources to build an objective prosopography of its membership, evidence is offered that the Fellowship was more than a fringe pressure group and dining club and achieved international credibility as a lobbying body, diplomatic intermediary and intelligence- gathering tool.
