As we will show, these two seemingly unrelated upheavals are very closely tied together, and are but the latest and most profound manifesta- tions of a global revolutionary transfor- mation that has been under way for many years. Both of these revolutions are being stoked and orchestrated by elitist forces that intend to unmake the United States of America and extinguish liberty as we know it everywhere. In his famous “Lectures on the French Revolution,” delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, the distinguished British historian and states- man John Emerich Dalberg, more com- monly known as Lord Acton, noted: “The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design.

  • Silver Squelchers Thirteen and Their Interesting Associates
    Silver Squelchers Thirteen and Their Interesting Associates United States Ambassadors to England---All Pilgrims Society Members! Presented June 2015 by Charles Savoie Take 32 seconds to hear what should be The Pilgrims theme music! 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, British Consul Generals in New York and Secretaries of State. 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. In case any of you didn’t get a link in #12 about the Roosevelt era gold and silver grab, here it is. British influence in America didn’t end because they lost the Revolutionary War. They’ve incessantly insinuated themselves into our financial system since the 1600s when things got started over here with English (and Dutch) colonization with Royal exploration charters and Crown land grants. We had the first United States Bank (1791-1811) which after we failed to renew its charter, we got the War of 1812 with England.

  • 58 British State School Pupils Win Places to Study in Us Through Sutton Trust Us Programme
    58 BRITISH STATE SCHOOL PUPILS WIN PLACES TO STUDY IN US THROUGH SUTTON TRUST US PROGRAMME 58 bright British state school students out of 175 from low and middle income backgrounds have won places at prestigious US universities through the Sutton Trust US Programme. Of the successful students, three-quarters (74%) are from families in the lowest income band (under £25k p.a) and half (48%) have claimed free school meals or educational maintenance allowance. Across their four years of study, the students will receive over $14m of financial support from US institutions and scholarships with many of them graduating debt-free. Details of the successful students were announced as they met US Ambassador Matthew Barzun at a reception at his London residence, Winfield House, on Thursday 9 July. The reception celebrated the students’ achievements and the success of the Sutton Trust’s US Programme, run in conjunction with the US-UK Fulbright Commission. The aim of the US Programme is to encourage academically talented, low and middle income British students to consider studying at American universities. Last summer, all 58 students participated in the Sutton Trust’s US Summer School at either the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT),Yale University, or Harvard University. The participants all benefited from residential activities and received an intensive programme of support, including help with applications, college choices and admissions tests. The students will be enrolling at 39 different colleges in 18 states; 19 of these students will be attending an Ivy League Institution. Seven students received highly-competitive and prestigious merit scholarships including the Morehead-Cain Scholarship at UNC-Chapel Hill and the Woodruff Scholarship at Emory University.
