  • What They Did to Silver!
    What They Did to Silver! Presented February 2014 by Charles Savoie I want to acquaint interested parties with some historical particulars concerning attacks against silver from the cartelized London/New York financial community and their subalterns in the U.S. and U.K. governments. I want us to look at a selection of only 15 men (there are many others) who have struck very hard blows against silver over the last century. Europe is not excluded; however the top powers that be in Europe historically shifted base of operations from the continent to London for the clear geopolitical reason that the English Channel and the North Sea are better military invasion insulators than any mainland European country has against its neighbors---in the same manner as a moat encircling a castle. There are endless arguments about groups struggling for power and a great deal of history to sift through. I had to reject arguments that the Vatican, the Pope, the Jesuits et al achieved or recaptured a whip hand over the Anglo-American power bloc. Central banking has been the cornerstone of world power for centuries and this is an invention of Britain over a century after Papal power was decisively rebuffed for the last time when the Spanish Armada fell to Britain in 1588. Plenty of power remains in Europe, of course, represented in such groups as Bilderberg, the former Europe-America Conferences, Trilateral Commission and the Club of Rome. Other important groups include the Club of the Isles, a creation of the British Royals, Le Cercle and the 1001 Club.

    Who Controls The Gold Stealing New York Fed Bank? Presented January 2014 by Charles Savoie “WE HAVE THE QUESTION OF GOLD UNDER CONSTANT SURVEILLANCE. WE HAVE BEEN UNDER ATTACK BECAUSE OF OUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS GOLD. A FREE GOLD MARKET IS HERESY. THERE IS NO SENSE IN A MAKE BELIEVE FREE GOLD MARKET. GOLD HAS NO USEFUL PURPOSE TO SERVE IN THE POCKETS OF THE PEOPLE. THERE IS NO HIDDEN AGENDA.” ---Pilgrims Society member Allan Sproul, president of Federal Reserve Bank of New York, 1941-1956. “ANY ATTEMPT TO WRITE UP THE PRICE OF GOLD WOULD ASSUREDLY BE MATCHED, WITHIN HOURS, BY COMPARABLE AND OFFSETTING ACTION.” ---Robert V.

Roosa was with the New York Federal Reserve Bank, 1946-1960 when he moved to Treasury to fight silver coinage! “The most powerful international society on earth, the “Pilgrims,” is so wrapped in silence that few Americans know even of its existence since 1903.” ---E.C.

  • Tax-Exempt Foundations and Their Influence Within Society
    TAX-EXEMPT FOUNDATIONS AND THEIR INFLUENCE WITHIN SOCIETY by Ryan James Kapchinsky A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The College of Graduate Studies (Interdisciplinary Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) August 2010 © Ryan James Kapchinsky 2010 ii ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to outline the history and character of the prominent tax-exempt foundations in the United States, with a particular emphasis on their use by the Rockefeller family to expand both their economic power, and their political influence within society. Furthermore, the paper outlines the motivations for providing philanthropy, the benefits of having tax-exempt foundations, as well as their involvement within education and the funding of the media. This paper also examines the multiple connections between the foundations and certain policy-making institutions. The conclusion of this paper is that certain large tax-exempt foundations such as the Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the Bertelsmann Foundation exercise significant political influence within society. Their vast ownership of multiple financial institutions, natural resource companies, media outlets, newspapers, and broadcasting companies has given them immense economic power. Moreover, the multifaceted roles played by the foundation trustees, who are often directors and chairmen of various private policy-making institutions has enabled the trustees of these foundations to exercise a great degree of political
