  • Silver Mining Kingpin Opposed Silver Money! His Peers Also Assassinated Silver! Beneficiaries of the Crime of ’73!
    SILVER MINING KINGPIN OPPOSED SILVER MONEY! HIS PEERS ALSO ASSASSINATED SILVER! BENEFICIARIES OF THE CRIME OF ’73! Presented April 2017 by Charles Savoie (Focus on a member of The Pilgrims Society, Monetary Enemies of World Civilization!) I want to describe a tremendous man who is most likely unknown to you; however, he was hell on wheels and then some in mining, racehorses, water development, agriculture, railroads, banking and more. He was “as wealthy as a Rajah, as powerful as a Vanderbilt, yet nameless as John Doe.” His influence is still on the scene today over a century after his passing. He lived 1822 to 1914 and piled up a fortune of huge dimensions from 160+ mining projects from Alaska to Chile to Korea and was thought by many to be the third wealthiest man in America after Rockefeller and Carnegie. Our focus personality here became a member, like Carnegie and the Rockefellers, of a group I will briefly describe; following this we’ll describe the person matching the title of this essay. Perjury, fraud and plunder unpunished; the hallmark of Olympian scale racketeers who control the laws of nations! The diamond and gold mining trust organizer in South Africa, Cecil Rhodes, the biggest of the “Randlords,” planned the formation of a group of men similar to himself which would remain unknown to the public. Its members would be recruited from the then British Empire and the American “colonies” (the British refuse to think otherwise). The group is described (without being specifically named) in the Review of Reviews, New York, May 1902, article on the life and ambitions of Cecil Rhodes (1853-1902) whose fronting for the Rothschilds (became members) is more widely known than his fronting for the Royals (sponsors of the organization) --- Page 557 of the 1902 article has this dangerously worded statement--- “The only thing feasible to carry this idea out is a secret one (society) gradually absorbing the wealth of the world to be devoted to such an object.

Wagstaffe Interviews Conducted by Carole Hicke in 1992, 1998, 2000, and 2001 Copyright 2002 by The Regents of the University of California in or Since 1 954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral a history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between narrator with firsthand knowledge ofhistorically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, corrected is lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The manuscript indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Spencer M. Williams dated May 1 1, 2001 . The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.

It covers only material held in the Manuscripts Department of the Huntington Library, and does not generally include material from Rare Books (with the exception of some pertinent manuscript material included in printed books), Photo Archives, or the Botanical Division. It is in its early stages of development, and makes no claim to be complete. It has been constructed largely from existing finding aids, with only occasional checking having been done to date with the original manuscripts to ensure accuracy. Since it is still being actively and continually supplemented with new information, it has not been systematically proofread for accuracy. With these caveats, we hope it will be of some help to researchers until a more thorough guide can be created. Please note that the “Find” function takes into account diacritics. Names often appear both with and without them, so two separate searches must be undertaken to find all instances of names including diacritical marks.

  • The Delicate Question: Cannibalism in Prehistoric and Historic Times
    8 The Delicate Question Cannibalism in Prehistoric and Historic Times G. Richard Scott and Sean McMurry Almost certainly in the prehistory of other times and places over the grand sweep of the human diaspora, other[s] . living on new and unknown landscapes, perhaps in relatively small, isolated groups, disappeared without issue or note in marginal environments or in the face of natural events beyond their capacity to cope. Karl Butzer 1977 Over the past 150 years, the story of the Donner Party has been told and retold in so many formats that it has become one of the best-known his- torical episodes of the nineteenth-century American westward move- ment. Fame, however, comes with a price. While the Donner Party exemplifes the strength, spirit, character, and perseverance of early pio- neers, it is most ofen associated with its darkest feature—cannibalism. Ann Gibbons, for example, states that cannibalism occurs with sufcient frequency in the archaeological record “to imply that extreme hunger was not the only driving force. Instead of being an aberration, practiced only by a few prehistoric Donner Parties, killing people for food may have been standard human behavior—a means of social control.”1 Te Donner Party is thus so well known that it can be used as shorthand for cannibalistic behavior without further elaboration. Despite its synonymy with cannibalism, the Donner Party is but a sin- gle instance of anthropophagy in the historic and prehistoric records. 211 Dixon pgd.indd 211 2/23/11 2:47 PM Investigations into this behavior have led to heated debates related to identifying or confrming cannibalism in the fossil and bioarchaeologi- cal records.2 Although the Donner Party’s Alder Creek Camp assem- blage has, at this point, yielded less physical evidence of cannibalism than the research associated with several dozen reported sites in North America, Europe, and the Pacifc, it ofers a line of evidence that those prehistoric case studies do not have: an accompanying historical record.
