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. Haggin was an Episcopalian---a group quietly outranking Jews on the world finance totem pole. People see what they want to see. Haggin, dominant owner of the great Homestake gold mine in South Dakota, dominant owner in dozens of gold mines from Mexico to Korea to Alaska and all over the West, was a prime mover with Huntington in The Crime of ’73, demonetizing silver; by this throat slitting subversion the “gold only” faction seized millions of mortgages; and Haggin was a prime mover in The Panic of 1907, via Knickerbocker Trust’s copper market connections. Yet all we ever hear about from people with a limited field of view is “Rothschilds and Rockefellers and no one else,” that’s kiddo mentality! Haggin’s GG son is in The Pilgrims 2014 as is John TEVIS Lane, descended from Haggin’s brother in law, Lloyd Tevis, who seems to have been about two thirds as wealthy as Haggin was. Haggin’s daddy was pals with Henry Clay, central bank advocate, and enemy of Andrew Jackson! One of Haggin’s minor exploits was insuring that 16,000 head of cattle owned by a competitor died of thirst after he seized control over the Kern River in California. After that, Haggin bribed the state legislature for immunity! It’s annoying to read so many knee jerk comments on You Tube that “the Rothschilds own half the world’s wealth all by themselves” and other such silly fantasy childishness. Furthermore they definitely aren’t the only dynastic family involved with central banks! The Winthrops, Rockefellers, Aldriches, Mellons and Astors are prominent back of the Federal Reserve. The Pilgrims Society is said to be the connivance of Cecil Rhodes; however it’s possible the idea was transmitted to him. It’s known his diamond activities in South Africa got Rothschild financing, so in this sense, the Rothschilds were possibly using front men to scheme the group’s organization. What is less well known is the Royal family also funded Rhodes and it’s more likely the Royals gave Rhodes the assignment to scheme The Pilgrims, as the Royals already had a history of making alliances dating back many centuries as shown in the movie “Braveheart.” In 1906 the biggest gem diamond still to this day ever found, 3,106 carats, was presented to King Edward VII, Royal Patron of both the London and New York branches of The Pilgrims Society. The diamond was obviously a dividend paid on an investment. It went to the King, not to the Rothschilds! The biggest gem cut from the rough is today valued at $400 million, and the Royals own thousands of major diamonds; plus more land by far than anyone else! However, don’t misunderstand me to have taken the view that the Rothschilds at some point ceased being major world players. What are we to make of the Rothschilds purchase of 37% of Rockefeller & Company in May 2012? First of all we could say that definitely leaves the Rockefellers as majority owners in that operation whose activities are largely out of view. It has alternate and subsidiary names like Rockefeller Financial Services and Rockefeller Capital Management. No end of scuttlebutt as to which “R” family is wealthier or more powerful. It’s all opinion, but my view is Rockefellers have more USA influence than the “R” Old World family. And power/wealth isn’t strictly based on which has been prominent the most years. The 1973 paperback version of “David, Report on a Rockefeller” by William Hoffman says on the back cover--- “One President after another has done his bidding. His lifestyle would make Alexander the Great weep with envy. The power he wields crosses all borders, can make or destroy governments, start or stop wars, profoundly influence everyone’s life.” How would the Rothschilds top THAT? Everyone recognized David headed the USA establishment. He never mentioned his Pilgrims membership dating at least to 1948. That speaks volumes as to how secretive and keystone this group is, and it is a Royalist group! Before proceeding I feel I must state a possible plan in the works by TPTB. If Morgan Chase has as much silver as Butler thinks they have, what’s to say they may not have amassed it for the same reason the Treasury Department acquired several billion ounces for, mostly from China, between the Silver Purchase Act of June 1934 and American entry into World War Two---to have a stockpile of silver the financiers could use for world price management purposes that would last for most of a century! During the Lend-Lease Administration, our “Pilgrim Partners,” the EVIL British Empire, got 88MOZ silver or more for price management objectives. Later they skillfully reduced silver demand by ending American silver coinage, now over a half century ago. No need to count the 40% Kennedy halves as lawful. See where this is going? Ted has to always be a silver bull because he’s been associated with a silver bullion dealer. Money is made on buy/sell spread regardless if the price is high or low, which it is usually low to make the Dollar look strong, and they don’t make stupid mistakes like Tulving of not being offset on COMEX. So! If defending the Federal Reserve Dollar is more important to Morgan Chase than profiting on a silver rise, then I’m uncertain as to what could overcome their continued price management! Naturally at the same time to make such a scheme work, enough gold must also be available since if gold breaks out, silver will be dragged higher too. If Grand Canyon gold theory by RTR is correct (it isn’t) it would have been tapped to maintain the old London Gold Pool a half century ago and we’d still have $35 gold and presumably, silver no higher than $1.2929 per ounce! God is NOT going to answer anyone’s prayer that silver gets free from price management! Else it would have happened long ago. The fabled “millennium” might see silver set free. However, you’d think that powers like Russia and China might want to see hypersonic gold prices, to embarrass the USD as world reserve currency, huh? By extension, silver also! Could be the State Department has warned them to not upset the PM price management apple cart else they’ll be attacked, with assistance from NATO allies! But is there really a silver shortage, or are the ETF and/or Morgan Chase dumping silver so people who will invest only in hard metal in their possession will be placated? APMEX shows one ounce silver rounds---at these gutter prices---in 50 categories, most 500 and up, or “any quantity!” https://www.apmex.com/category/25260/1-oz-bullion-silver- rounds It’s likely that American moves towards war with Iran are more about defending the USD than us being used as a pawn for Israel. Mainly we’ve been a pawn for England’s sponsorship of World Wars; this they admitted in the May 1902 Review of Reviews, pages 555-558. Israel is England’s unruly stepchild. We have tensions rising with China and Russia. Probably due to they don’t like USD dominance! If we’re willing to engage Iran, China and Russia in war to defend the USD, why wouldn’t JPM Chase have acquired silver to also defend the FED from a hated historical competitor? Silver “stackers” do not possess several billion fiat dollars to buy enough silver to help the price rise. A group of “maverick” wealthy in alliance, similar to the Hunts, could do it, but they’re too disorganized to begin a coordinated play. I’m presenting this perspective because I regard it as a possibility. If that’s the case, someone can still do OK in silver if they work out ways to profitably manufacture and merchandise sterling silver objects; even bathroom sinks for upscale home builders.

    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.

    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.

    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.
