The Power Elite Playbook
Controlled Conflict and Staged Incompetence
- by Deanna Spingola, 11 December, 2008  The exploitation of the Philippine Islands' vast mineral reserves, so strongly encouraged by President McKinley, gave one particular American Expeditionary soldier, First Lieutenant John William Haussermann (1867-1965, discharged September 1, 1899),1 an Ohio-born attorney from Leavenworth, Kansas, a (literally) golden opportunity.2 Since Philippine law didn't recognize the American entity known as a "corporation," the U.S. Congress passed a law on July 1, 1902 which enabled Haussermann, then city attorney for Manila, to organize a corporation on June 1903, which became known as the Benguet Consolidated Mining Company by 1906.3 In 1927, Benguet bought out its competitor, Balatoc Mining, giving it 80% of the Philippine gold industry.4 Philippine gold made Haussermann "the Gold King" and his associates a massive fortune which would later be selectively shared with influential political puppets like General Douglas MacArthur, who comfortably identified with the Philippine oligarchy.5 In 1904, during his first military assignment in the Philippines, Lt. Douglas MacArthur, son of Arthur, befriended Manuel Quezon, a well-educated Chinese mestizo, who quickly recognized the plundering patterns being exhibited by yet another imperialist power. Quezon was then prosecuting attorney for the new U.S. colonial government and later governor of his native province, Tayabas. With the American's blessings, Quezon and Sergio Osmeña became leaders in the right-wing Nacionalista Party (though Quezon would later oust Osmeña).6 For the prosperous Philippine minority, democracy, ethics and justice for their less fortunate fellow citizens was trumped by the quest for personal power and profit. Quezon went to Washington as Resident Commissioner (per the Philippine Bill of 1902) to the U.S. House of Representatives from 1909 to 1916, and used his time there to make powerful alliances that would later benefit him politically. To accommodate wealthy, well-connected U.S. businessmen doing business in the Philippines, Congress passed tariff acts allowing free U.S. entry of all Philippine products; this would make the Philippines dependent on the U.S. In 1916, Congress passed the Jones Act which promised Philippine independence at some vague future date on condition of a "stable government," newspeak for compliance with U.S. business interests.7 From 1919 to 1922, Douglas MacArthur served as superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He was then sent back to the U.S.-occupied Philippines, where he would be stationed until 1930. Between 1928 and 1930, he served as commander of the Philippine Department, a regular US Army unit devoted to training Filipino troops to defend their country. MacArthur returned to the U.S., where President Herbert Hoover promoted him to four-star general and appointed him to the office of Army Chief of Staff, a position he held from November 21, 1930 to October 1, 1935. On July 28, 1932, MacArthur revealed his loyalties to the government's upper management when his men, along with six battle tanks, fixed bayonets and poisonous Adamsite gas (developed by Roger Adams for use in WWI), marched on and fired upon the Bonus Army, a desperate group of World War I veterans and their families (43,000 individuals) who had set up temporary housing which the troops burned. They had been attempting to collect the bonus promised to veterans by the government (which delayed these payments until 1944). Hundreds of veterans were injured and several were killed by MacArthur's troops. Virulent anti-Communist MacArthur claimed that the veteran's group had been taken over by pacifists and communists (the latter serving as America's latest fear-producing, made-to-order enemy). Hoover later helped force the resignation of America's most decorated general, Smedley D. Butler, who supported the objectives of the Bonus Army. Butler vociferously maintained that war is a racket to enrich big business. An opponent of pacifism, Douglas MacArthur, pursuing political ambitions of his own, did whatever it took to oblige his superiors. He would officially retire in December 1937 but remained on the active duty list. In the fall of 1934 President Quezon had visited MacArthur in America to inquire whether he could resume supervision of the Philippine Army, due to the acceleration of Japanese aggression in Asia. Though MacArthur would have preferred to be the Commonwealth's Governor-General, he consented and was commissioned Field Marshal of the Philippine Army, a position created just for him, complete with a lavish salary and other amenities. Quezon was a flamboyant, manipulative politician who in his youth had been nicknamed "gularato" (the bluffer). Though born Catholic, he became a Freemason in 1928 to further his own interests. Always the opportunist, whenever he wished to appeal to the majority he emphasized his Catholic heritage. For just the right look, he even designed his own clothes, including an informal uniform.8 With Quezon's encouragement, MacArthur also designed his own uniform - black pants, white tunic, a braided cap, a gold baton and enough medals, stars and gold cord to impress the most unimpressionable person. Quezon built MacArthur a luxurious penthouse with a spectacular view of Manila Bay atop the Manila Hotel. He was inducted into the most exclusive clubs, including Quezon's assembly of Freemasons. He became a director for the posh Manila Hotel and received generous shares of Benguet Mining stock. Meanwhile, he neglected his military responsibilities. He was originally responsible for maintaining twenty-two thousand American and eight thousand Filipino soldiers in combat readiness.9 By November 30, 1941, MacArthur commanded only 31,095 men, including 11,988 Philippine Scouts. MacArthur's second wife was Jean Marie Faircloth, daughter of banker Edward C. Faircloth, who had left her a substantial fortune. Later, she was friends with Barbara Bush.10 The MacArthurs had their first and only child, Arthur, in Manila on February 21, 1938. Close friend, Quezon and his wife, Aurora (Aragon), were little Arthur's godparents. The charismatic Quezon displaced Osmeña, the first leader of the Nacionalista Party, and then remained the autocratic ruler of the Philippines until his death on August 1, 1944 in Saranac Lake, New York.11 The Philippines was a U.S. territory from August 13, 1898 to November 15, 1935, when the U.S. granted the islands a degree of autonomy through the Tydings-McDuffie Act by making them a Commonwealth and allowing them to develop a constitution which was signed by Franklin D. Roosevelt on March 23, 1935. Full independence was to be granted after a ten-year transition period. But all of this changed with the Japanese invasion, followed by yet another profitable, calculated catastrophic world war. Japan's naval strength had increased during World War I to five fleets - these ships had been acquired from British firms, and paid for with loans from Rothschild-controlled British banks. Before World War I erupted, the U.S., Germany, Britain and Japan competed to acquire colonies in the resource-rich Pacific Rim with an abundance of industrial metals like manganese, tungsten, antimony, tin, nickel, and chromium. Japan had invaded and annexed Taiwan in 1895. They had invaded Korea in 1895 and annexed it in 1910. Germany had leased land in China's Shandong Province in 1898 and then purchased the Marshall and Caroline Islands from Spain in 1899.12 Influential U.S. companies and banks had industrial interests in China and the Pacific, including the Philippines. The U.S. had forcefully annexed the Hawaiian Islands in 1898 on behalf of wealthy American sugar producers as described in part ten of this series. Herbert Hoover attended portions of the Paris Peace Conference which opened on January 18, 1919. Fifty individuals attended another meeting that was held at the Hotel Majestic in Paris on May 30, 1919, the organizational meeting of an Anglo-American Institute of International Affairs, which had one branch in London and one in New York called the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Col. Edward M. House and his advisors, Herbert Hoover and Thomas W. Lamont, were among the twenty-one American attendees, including twelve scholars from Harvard, Yale and Columbia. The financing for the creation of the CFR came in part from J.P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Bernard Baruch, Otto Kahn, Jacob Schiff and Paul Warburg.13 Hoover accompanied banker Bernard Baruch, to Paris (Baruch would later be instrumental in the Wall Street Crash of 1929.) In 1922, as a result of the Versailles Peace Treaty, Japan was limited to about two-thirds of the fleet allowed the United States and Britain. This was viewed by the Japanese as racist and inequitable. Numerous CFR members have been included in every administration since Herbert Hoover. As Under Secretary of State, Joseph Grew (CFR) was mentored by Herbert Hoover and Harvard-educated Thomas W. Lamont (CFR, Bilderberg, and a Pilgrim Society chairman). The Pilgrim Society (PS), founded on July 24, 1902, with thousands of interlocking connections, is closer to the inner circle of the New World Order conspiracy than the CFR. The Pilgrim Society, initially funded by the Rhodes Foundation, is the most secretive and certainly the most dangerous such organization, and is in control of the world's money supply. The Pilgrim Society has controlled every president since Theodore Roosevelt.14 Jean MacArthur, the general's wife, was a Pilgrim Society member.15 Lamont was a J. P. Morgan Partner and chaired its Board as of March 1943; he owned the New York Evening Post from 1918 to 1922 (its current owner is media mogul Rupert Murdoch); and he was the representative of the U.S. Treasury in the American delegation to the 1919 Paris Peace Conference.16 Members of the U.S. chapter of the Pilgrims Society lobbied for U.S. involvement in World War II on the side of Great Britain. To implement fascism in Italy, Lamont arranged a $100 million loan to Mussolini in 1926 - leading Wall Street bankers were/are very supportive of all fascist regimes. Joseph C. Grew (CFR), America's pre-war Ambassador to Japan (Herbert Hoover appointed him in 1932), encouraged the Japanese to enter a state of military preparedness, for which they actually received the necessary scrap steel from the entire 6th Avenue Elevator Railroad of New York. Agents from the Institute of Pacific Relations (IPR), financed by the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations and controlled by a Wall Street alliance of Morgan and Rockefeller interests, were instructed to induce the Japanese to strike the United States.17 Japan had been warring against China since 1931. Germany, after invading Poland on September 1, 1939, was at war with Great Britain and France. The U.S. had been monitoring Japanese communications since the early 1920s.18 By August 1940, America could de-code all of Japan's messages. The war was raging in Europe and America's leaders were endeavoring to get America embroiled in it despite what her citizens wanted. Presidential candidate Roosevelt had promised neutrality if re-elected. Insiders knew better! If an opportunity did not present itself, Roosevelt was going to create one. In August 1940, while promising neutrality, the National Guard was assigned federal service for a period of one year. Additionally, the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940 (a peace time draft), known as the Burke-Wadsworth Act, was passed by Congress on September 14, 1940. Coincidentally, on September 27, 1940, Japan, Germany and Italy (the Axis Powers - all fascist) signed the Tripartite Treaty in Berlin, a military alliance, which stipulated that if any one of the three nations was attacked by any of the Allied nations (Great Britain, United States and the Soviet Union), then all three of the nations would be at war. The feasibility of Germany attacking the U.S. was zero. If the U.S. responded to a Japanese attack, the U.S. would also be drawn into the European War, just what the profit-seeking bankers wanted. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill (PS), a Rothschild minion, had already covertly committed to engage in a war against Germany. During his presidential campaign, Roosevelt had promised American mothers and fathers that he would keep their young men out of an irrelevant foreign war. However, an attack on America would change everything. At Roosevelt's request, in October 1940, Secretary of the Navy asked Admiral J. O. Richardson, Commander-in-Chief of the American fleet in the Pacific, to position American naval ships across the Pacific Ocean in order to prevent Japan from obtaining crucial supplies. Richardson protested against this obvious act of war. Perhaps Richardson was being set up as a patsy? Richardson had requested that his fleet, inadequately prepared for war, be withdrawn from Hawaii, where they were totally exposed and vulnerable. Those requests were ignored! Richardson was suddenly relieved of his command in January 1941. On January 27, 1941, Ambassador Joseph Grew sent a telegram to Secretary of State Cordell Hull (1933-44) reporting the following: "The Peruvian minister has informed a member of my staff that he heard from many sources, including a Japanese source, that, in the event of trouble breaking out between the United States and Japan, the Japanese intend to make a surprise attack against Pearl Harbor."1920 Cordell Hull authored the federal income tax laws of 1913 and 1916, and was later instrumental in establishing the United Nations (he is referred to as the Father of the United Nations). He was an early proponent of "free trade," devised to stifle free enterprise and destroy national borders. On July 26, 1941, Roosevelt recalled MacArthur to active duty in the U.S. Army and assigned him as Commander of U.S. Army Forces in the Far East (USAFFE), promoting him to lieutenant general. The entire Philippine Army, including Ferdinand Marcos, was inducted into the U.S. Army. Despite military records to the contrary, Marcos would later claim to have shown extraordinary courage and to have performed life-saving heroic exploits; these claims were promoted by his hired biographer, and later validated by Lyndon Johnson when he needed support for America's invasion of Vietnam. On July 26, 1941, Roosevelt froze all Japanese assets in the U.S. and closed the Panama Canal to all Japanese shipping. Between November 27 and December 6, 1941, the State, War and Navy Departments received several warnings about Japanese intentions, including specific details like the hour and the date of the attack.21 The American military commanders in the Philippines, General Douglas MacArthur and Admiral Thomas Hart, were part of the network that received de-coded messages. Unfortunately, General Short and Admiral Kimmel, the commanders in Hawaii were not part of this network.22 Hawaii reported that the Japanese Fleet was at sea and in the north. In reply, General MacArthur sent a series of three messages on November 26, 29 and December 2, 1941 fallaciously claiming that the Japanese Fleet was in the South China Sea west of the Philippines. Later, the National Security Agency would term these messages inexplicable. MacArthur's false assurance had left Hawaii totally unprepared.23 Presidential foreknowledge about the imminent attack on Pearl Harbor has been well substantiated through recently-released public records. Over 2400 individuals were literally sacrificed to get the U.S. into war in the Pacific and in Europe. Endnotes

Deanna's Web Site | - by Deanna Spingola, 29 December, 2008  The war conspirators included a Standard Oil attorney, Henry L. Stimson (Skull & Bones), who was a Thomas Lamont ally, and partner with Elihu Root in a law firm on Wall Street, the nucleus of the powerful American Establishment. Following Washington's proverbial revolving door collusion strategy between corporate oligarchies and government, Stimson held the following strategic positions: civilian Secretary of War under fellow Skull and Bonesman Taft (1908-1912), Governor General of the Philippines (1926-1928), Secretary of State under Hoover (1929-1933) and civilian Secretary of War under Roosevelt and Truman (1940- 1946), where he managed the drafting and training of 12 million soldiers and airmen, and directed the purchase of 30 percent of the nations industrial output to the battlefield. He was responsible for the internment and subsequent property seizure of thousands of Japanese-American citizens. Stimson contrived the economic provocations directed at Japan to maneuver them into firing the first shot, also facilitated by Japan-based Ambassador Joseph Grew and many well-place members of the Institute of Pacific Relations who urged Japan's willing war-hawk leaders to respond. Stimson supervised General Leslie Groves, head of the Manhattan Project, developers of the atomic bomb. Hollister Bundy (Skull & Bones) was Stimson´s special assistant at the Pentagon for the Manhattan Project. His two sons, William and McGeorge Bundy, also members of Skull and Bones, followed in their father's global government footprints. Later, Stimson, in complete control of President Truman, (Roosevelt had died on April 12, 1945) would personally choose Hiroshima and Nagasaki as inexcusable, non-military targets for those bombs, a message to the world at the beginning of the Cold War, and an excuse for the massive military build-up to shrink the U.S. treasury. Stimson "took credit" for swaying Truman to drop "the bomb" on Japan.1 Against the initial concerns of Roosevelt and Churchill, Stimson would later insist on proper judicial proceedings against a minimal number of Germany's top war criminals. Stimson and the War Department outlined the original proposals for an International Tribunal, which Truman, the incoming president, obediently backed. The results of those proposals ultimately led to the Nuremberg Trials of 1945-46, which would affect the development of International Law, a means of establishing a world authority to ultimately supersede all national authorities.2 Prior to Pearl Harbor, Tokyo sent daily bomb-plots, cabled from its Honolulu consulate, to the attack fleet using JN-25 radio messages, a very old code. Roosevelt also received Japan's JN-25 messages. Yet, the U.S. government still refuses to release any of those JN-25 messages because it would reveal that both Roosevelt and Churchill monitored the Japanese attack fleet all the way to Pearl Harbor.3 According to testimony at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE), Hirohito, dressed in full military uniform, also monitored all radio transmissions from Admiral Yamamoto's flagship during the night of December 7-8, 1941.4 Unfortunately, those who perished weren't privy to any information or warnings. After the war, Hirohito was portrayed as a peace lover who was kept completely ignorant of all warfare decisions and activities -- feigning ignorance or incompetence are oft-used political ploys. Predictably, Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor impacted the American Pacific Fleet of 19 warships, which either sank or were severely damaged. Additionally, 340 naval and army aircraft were either destroyed or critically disabled. Fortuitously, all the newer ships previously stationed at Pearl Harbor had been sent to the Atlantic by Roosevelt. Only the old WWI junk was left in harbor. In his testimony to Congress, Admiral Bloch said: "The Japanese only destroyed a lot of old hardware. In a sense they did us a favor."5 History books omit details about the second Japanese assault against the U.S. in the Philippines. An additional victorious assault established Japan's dominance and facilitated their plundering conquest of Southeast Asia, the scheme that the Japanese oligarchy and the American-friendly British bankers planned in 1902 when Japan agreed to be "the Crown's policeman in Asia."6 The Philippine Department Air Force, under General Douglas MacArthur's direct command, was organized on September 20, 1941. Despite numerous warnings, the allies claimed that Japan would not attack the Philippines until the spring of 1942. So in preparation for that possible attack, Army Chief of Staff George C. Marshall (1939 to 1945) dispatched aircraft to the Philippines, 500 miles from the Japanese airbases on Formosa. MacArthur's headquarters received word of the Pearl Harbor attack at 2:30 a.m. on December 8, 1941 and should have been prepared and vigilant. MacArthur radar-tracked the progress of Japanese planes as they approached the Philippines. He acknowledged them at 140, 100, 80, 60, all the way down to 20 miles away from their target. Then he gave an order to respond. It was, of course, too late.7 Are repetitive belated military responses evidence of incompetence, or collusion? Similarly, on 9/11, Flight 77, without air traffic control communication and with its transponder deliberately turned off, flew unimpeded towards a Washington "no fly" zone for 45 minutes without a single defensive maneuver - after the towers had been hit. V. P. Dick Cheney was asked repeatedly by a young man if the (stand-down) order still stood as a plane ominously approached the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, as given in Norman Mineta's testimony before the 9/11 Commission cover-up. The attack on the Philippines occurred ten hours after the Pearl Harbor attack - on December 8, 1941 at 12:35 p.m. when 196 Japanese Navy bombers struck the U.S. air bases at Clark and Iba Fields, and effectively crippled the Far East Air Force (FEAF) of the U.S. Army Air Force, consisting of 35 Boeing four-engine B-17 bombers and 91 Warhawk fighters, the largest force outside of the U.S. Clark Field also lost the use of its radar units.8 MacArthur's reaction to his entire air force being destroyed was an anomaly to say the least. He sequestered himself in his room and refused to talk with anyone, even Maj. Gen. Lewis H. Brereton, the air commander. This might be akin to flying aimlessly around the country, as Bush did on 9/11. Additionally, MacArthur had refused to attack Japan's airbases on Formosa despite orders from someone apparently out-of-the-loop at the War Department. Rather, he had given conflicting orders that guaranteed that the planes would remain on the ground all morning. After the Japanese air strike, Admiral Thomas Hart withdrew his defensive Asiatic Fleet, except for its non-combat submarines. "Strategically, the destruction of half of all U.S. heavy bombers in the world was more important than naval damage in Pearl Harbor. Either MacArthur had committed the greatest blunder in military history or he was under orders to allow his forces to be destroyed. If it were the greatest blunder in history, it is remarkable that he escaped any reprimand, kept his command and got his fourth star and Congressional Medal of Honor shortly afterwards. Author Gordon W. Prange argued, 'How could the President ensure a successful Japanese attack unless he confided in the commanders and persuaded them to allow the enemy to proceed unhindered?'"9 According to the pre-war Plan Orange, utilized on December 24, MacArthur was to use five delaying positions in Central Luzon while some of his forces, military headquarters and the Philippine government withdrew to Bataan. Accordingly, he sent General Parker of the South Luzon Force to Bataan to prepare defensive positions. MacArthur's remaining forces would oppose them on the beach and then depart for Bataan and await reinforcement. Plan Orange, though prepared years before, had been reviewed and left unchanged. The land invasion occurred on December 22, 1941, two weeks after Pearl Harbor.10 On Christmas Eve 1941, General MacArthur, his staff, Quezon and Osmeña escaped from Manila to Malinta Tunnel on the fortified island of Corregidor which became the seat of government of the Commonwealth of the Philippines. The Philippine gold reserves from the treasury and the gold bullion from the Benguet mines were transferred to Malinta Tunnel, Corregidor's secure complex. On January 2, 1942 the Japanese entered Manila. Major General Jonathan Wainwright's men could have prevented General Homma Masaharu from advancing to Manila but their defective World War I Enfield rifles failed and they fled. Filipino and U.S. forces outnumbered the Japanese invaders by three to two. But they were poorly trained and equipped. The U.S. Had planned to increase armaments but only 20% of their artillery requirements were met. To save Manila from utter destruction, it was declared an open city. Wainwright, according to Plan Orange, withdrew to Bataan. Ultimately, there would be over 100,000 refugees on Bataan. Unfortunately, MacArthur had failed to make adequate logistical preparations in Bataan. Most of the supplies had been left on the beaches and consequently were lost - possibly to opportunists who would soon make a fortune in the black market. On Bataan, the 26th Cavalry eventually had to shoot and eat their horses.11 General MacArthur always relied on staff officers and stayed as far away from the enemy as possible. On January 9, 1942, MacArthur boarded a PT boat and made his first and only visit back to the peninsula.12 U.S. troop reinforcements and supplies, as per Plan Orange, were on their way across the Pacific but were recalled by Roosevelt. Purportedly, the need for food and men in Europe was more important than the needs in the Philippines. Poor planning or poor judgment? This was a death knell for troops who had been fighting for nine long weeks. The Filipinos took advantage of the chaos in Manila and were killing each other - settling old scores and eliminating enemies. Rape, robbery and looting were widespread. Ferdinand Marcos, who was serving on the U.S. side, took this opportunity to eliminate the man who had testified against him when Marcos had murdered his stepfather's political opponent. Marcos had been exonerated by his biological father, Judge Chua, and thereby escaped incarceration; the same judge, known as Marcos' godfather, also paid his way through law school.1314 The economy of Luzon, the largest island, was a disaster. Crops were seized; people were starving. Gangs roamed the streets. Currency was worthless and people paid gemstones or gold for whatever food they could find on the opportunistic black market, a devious way of acquiring any remaining valuables from desperate people. Homes, factories and warehouses were abandoned. On March 11, 1942, MacArthur, his inner circle, Quezon and Osmeña left Corregidor, the island in the entrance of the Philippines' Manila Bay, the best natural harbor in the Far East for the Del Monte pineapple plantation in Mindanao, and left via its airstrip for Australia. Quezon then went to the U.S. where he died. Vice President Osmeña became president in exile. For ballast, MacArthur had 20 tons of gold loaded on the U.S. submarine that was leaving for Australia where Roosevelt had assigned him Supreme Allied Commander South West Pacific Area. It is unknown whether this gold was the property of the Philippine government or private property. Manuel Roxas, the man who would later become president, remained in the Philippines to sink the remaining gold reserves in Manila Bay to prevent the Japanese from seizing it.15 MacArthur left behind him a huge military fiasco, vowing to return. The 20,000 exhausted soldiers remaining in the Philippines were starving on a third of a ration per day. Wainwright stayed with the troops and took control on March 23, 1942. As many as 8,000 Filipino and 2,000 Americans perished from malaria, starvation, beatings and executions during the infamous Bataan Death March to Camp O'Donnell.16 Instead of a reprimand, and because of a good public relations staff, MacArthur played the hero and was given the Medal of Honor because Roosevelt needed a war hero to win public support for the war. Predictably, five months after Pearl Harbor, Japan dominated all of Southeast Asia with its abundant resources. Against all U.S. military regulations, and concealed until 1979, MacArthur accepted a half million dollars from President Manuel L. Quezon for defending the Philippines.17 Apparently, even ineffectual efforts have their rewards. Arthur MacArthur, Jr. and Douglas MacArthur were the first father and son to ever be awarded a Medal of Honor. In October 1944, a Navy and Army Court deliberated possible foreknowledge and culpability surrounding the Pearl Harbor attack. Between November 27 and December 6, 1941, officials in the State, War and Navy Departments had received numerous pieces of information giving specific information about the imminent Japanese attack. The courts found Washington guilty of not acting on information that caused the avoidable slaughter of over 2400 individuals. When the verdict was revealed, Army Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall, guilty as charged, offered his resignation which of course was rejected by the powers that be. The verdict apparently was overshadowed by other newsworthy issues. Marshall asserted, under oath, that he considered loyalty to his chief (under the direction of the international bankers) more imperative than loyalty to his country.18 Marshall, a member of the secretive pro-war Pilgrim Society, would continue to serve the Power Elite as Secretary of State from January 21, 1947 to January 20, 1949, during which time he and Under Secretary of State, Dean Acheson (1945-1947; CFR, Pilgrim Society, Scroll and Key Society), promoted the U.S. taxpayer-financed Marshall Plan to Aid Europe, devised by the Committee for Economic Development (CED), a Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) economic counterpart. Industrial attorney/government official Henry Stimson sat on the executive board of the CED. The Marshall Plan would effectively transfer nearly $100 billion in current dollars to Europe under humanitarian claims - its stated purpose was to provide American jobs, feed the hungry, blah, blah, blah. It would be administered by banker/government official, Averill Harriman (CFR, Pilgrim Society, and Skull & Bones).19 Marshall's misplaced, self-serving loyalty is apparently still shared today by numerous individuals who persistently demonstrate incompetence or faulty judgment and/or intelligence, all at the taxpayer's expense.
