Bit of an excerpt from 'The Brothers' by Steven Kinzer via Dave Emory

John Foster and Allen Dulles were attorneys with the powerful Sullivan & Cromwell law firm, arguably the most important of the “White Shoe” Wall Street institutions.

Signature business deals realized by the firm include: The 1882 creation of General Electric; the weaving together on behalf of J.P. Morgan of 28 different steel manufacturers into U.S. Steel; the forging of much of the Harriman railroad empire, and the creation of the newly independent country of Panama (formerly a province of Colombia), in order to build the Panama Canal. (1)

Foremost among Sullivan & Cromwell’s deals on behalf of the Axis was John Foster Dulles’ midwifing of the consummately powerful I.G. Farben Cartel. The driving engine of German industrial and war-making capacity, Farben grew out of the dyestuffs and chemical business dominated by the member firms of the conglomerate. (2)

The columnist Drew Pearson gleefully listed the German clients of Sullivan & Cromwell who had contributed money to the Nazis, and described Foster as chief agent for “the banking circles that rescued Adolf Hitler from the financial depths and set up his Nazi party as a going concern." (3)

Exemplifying Foster’s deft legal maneuvering and the enormous consequences of those gambits is the lawyer’s fashioning of a nickel cartel and fitting it into the growing corporate mosaic of I.G. Farben:

Among Foster's premier clients was the New Jersey-based International Nickel Company, for which he was not only counsel but also a director and member of the executive board. In the early 1930s, he steered it, along with its Canadian affiliate, into a cartel with France's two major nickel producers. In 1934, he brought the biggest German nickel producer, I.G. Farben, into the cartel. This gave Nazi Germany access to the cartel's resources.

Without Dulles,” according to a study of Sullivan & Cromwell, “Germany would have lacked any negotiating strength with [International Nickel], which controlled the world's supply of nickel, a crucial ingredient in stainless steel and armor plate.” (4)

The corporate arrangements created by the company enabled I.G. global dominance in numerous vital war-making industrial products and gave Germany and her Axis partners significant leverage in the operation of industrial warfare manufacturing.

Dulles’ brother Allen was a top intelligence officer for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), America’s WWII intelligence service and a predecessor of the CIA. He was also on leave from Sullivan & Cromwell.

Prior to the outbreak of the Second World War, Allen helped prominent Americans invest in Nazi Germany and then helped to mask those investments.

Some Americans were just bigots and made their connections to Germany through Allen Dulles' firm of Sullivan & Cromwell because they supported fascism. The Dulles brothers, who were in it for profit more than ideology, arranged American investments in Nazi Germany in the 1930's to ensure that their clients did well out of the German economic recovery. “Dulles clearly emphasized projects for Germany . . . and for Mussolini's fascist state . . . All told, these and more than a dozen similar transactions had a combined value in excess of a billion dollars.”(emphasis added) (5)

Among Dulles’ clients who invested in Germany were the Bush family, specifically George Herbert Walker and his son-in-law Prescott Bush, Sr.

Walker was one of Hitler's most powerful financial supporters in the United States. The relationship went all the way back to 1924, when Fritz Thyssen, the German industrialist, was financing Hitler's infant Nazi party. . . . Walker also set up a deal to take over the North American operations of the Hamburg-Amerika Line, a cover for I.G. Farben's Nazi espionage united in the United States. (6)

The Hamburg-Amerika line was controlled by a holding company, American Shipping and Commerce, which shared an address with Union Banking Corporation, on the board of which both George Herbert Walker and Prescott Bush sat. Averell Harriman’s stock in American Shipping and Commerce was held by another company, the Harriman Fifteen Corporation, run out of Walker’s office. The directors of Harriman Fifteen were Averell Harrriman, George Herbert Walker and Prescott Bush. (7)

Dulles helped with the cloaking operations to shield both his son-in-law Walker and Averell Harriman from the authorities:

Instead of divesting the Nazi money, Bush hired a lawyer to hide the assets. The lawyer he hired had considerable expertise in such underhanded schemes. It was Allen Dulles. According to Dulles's client list at Sullivan & Cromwell, his first relationship with Brown Brothers, Harriman was on June 18, 1936. (8

Comfortably numb!
We blame the government because that is what we have been told to do by our media from Reagan forward.
The media being owned by the same uber class that has always fanned the flames of divisionism within this country. While I may well be mistaken, the Uber driving deal looks like just one more deckstacker
scam designed to extract and transfer funds from our working class communities to our uber class predators
that take delight in feeding off everything we do in life, as opposed to contributing to the betterment of all.

If I'm not mistaken, Prescott Bush amongst others had bets on both sides. They couldn't loose.

Yes sir, you are correct, he had a leadership role with a group of our wealthiest and most
successful Americans who had greater loyalty to the massive profits they extracted from Germany,
than they ever did to the United States.
With a son that went on to become one of the most feared Directors the agency ever had, and
later a president, who's own son would follow in the same footsteps.
I frequently refer to those who participated, as 'deckstackers'.

I have posted the interviews between Jim Dieugenio and Dave Emory the first was 20 segments of one hour each. The second has 27 hours of content.
They each provide an excellent over view of how we got to what we have on hand here today.
Dave Emory's website is Spitfirelist.com, he has a real fine list of WWII books that available to read for free on
his site. I am extremely fond of his material and site. I have followed his work for the past 25 years, though he has been at it much longer than that. He started out as a student of Mea Brussell. I can not speak highly
enough of the man. He is getting older, but is still putting out very fine work. His website is more than impressive.
Joe Dieugenio is the author of several books now on this topic, and has been working with Oliver
Stone on several projects and films. His website is Kennedysandking.com. It is an excellent resource.
Destiney Betrayed is the title of one of his books.
Dear lord but that is an accurate description of what has been done not just to this country, but the
world in which we live.
I figure the vast majority of what one gets from the corporate world media is controlled drivel .
JFK was killed by the same crew that was behind the coup of 33. He was murdered because he
had a vastly different idea of how the world should be than what we have now.
He wanted to keep the WWII agreements with the free world which came to our aid in WWII.
The deckstackers had a very different idea of how they wanted things.
The bastards have inserted themselves into both corporate world and the MIC.
The Bush family is a fine illustration of how this has perpetuated itself through families.

Corrupting Prices

To be perfectly frank, prices are corrupted by governments for the purpose of extracting capital from the economy and rearranging society in strange and unnatural ways. In California, for instance, Assembly Bill No. 205, which was approved by Governor Newsom in 2022, requires power companies to charge customers a base fee that escalates by income bracket.

A recent proposal, would forcibly compel high income earners to pay a base fee that’s over 400 percent more than low income earners. This is in addition to the actual use rate.

Is it fair and just to penalize people with high incomes? Does the government know how to spend money better than the people who earned it?

Sacramento thinks so. As does Washington through its execution of federal income tax policies.

The process of corrupting prices also accrues power to the central planners and decision makers. This power, and the wealth it affords them, has proven to be quite intoxicating. Too much is never enough.

What’s more, bankrupt, failing governments can only hold onto power by tightening their grip on those they dominate – including you. Compulsory diktats over how your time is directed and how your money is spent are acts of desperation. Yet they must go on.

Massive taxes, endless fees, tax incentive credits, and outright currency debasement and money supply inflation, all work to extract capital from private individuals and direct it back to Washington. And right now, in the later stage of decadence, this appropriative coercion must increase.

You see, at this point, there’s no way to reverse the gross corruption that has already occurred. Any potential means to do so are soon coopted by the central authority and turned against the population.

I asked if they could repair my 10 year old mat. They said no. It wasn’t under warranty. Then they sent me this one for free. It’s at least a $300 mat. I thought it was my birthday.
