This result is a tribute to the skullduggery and conspiracy of the Insiders of the Rockefeller Council on Foreign Relations who planned it that way. Our -military industrial complex- had to be destroyed to make Soviet superiority - more plausible. It has, as a result, been literally starved to death on purpose.
Of course all of this was antic.i.p.ated when President Nixon signed the SALT I agreement in Moscow back in May of 1972. Even the very -Liberal- Senator Henry Jackson (D.Wash.) admitted: -Simply put, the agreement gives the Soviets more of everything: more light ICBMs, more heavy ICBMs, more submarine-launched missiles, more submarines, more payload, even more ABM radars.
In no area covered in the agreement is the United States permitted to maintain parity with the Soviet Union.- It is all too obvious that SALT has not limited the Soviets in any way. The US is being disarmed while the Communists are being given a first-strike Ultimatum Force.*
* The fact that SALT is merely an extension of the 7277 Disarmament Plan was acknowledged in this agreement which stated: The USA and the USSR regard as the ultimate objective of their efforts the achievement of general and complete disarmament and the establishment of an effective system of international security in accordance with the purposes and principles of the United Nations.
Remember the steel rolling plants we sold the Soviets on credit? Remember the aluminium factories the Rockefeller-Eaton Axis is building in Eastern Europe? And remember the Kama River truck factory, financed by David Rockefeller"s Chase Manhattan Bank, which will be the largest in the world, covering some forty square miles? Truck factories, of course, are where tanks are built.
Now, ask yourself this question: If the Soviets are really sincere about detente and peaceful coexistence, why are they arming at such breakneck speed? Why aren"t they diverting that spending into desperately needed consumer goods? And why is Henry Kissinger letting them get away with it? The answer is that the Comrades are preparing to deliver the New World Order ultimatum in case Americans refuse to lay down and play dead. In other words, the traps have been set for world government by consent and by conquest.
The Communists are working hand-in-hand with our Establishment Insiders. When the former are powerful enough, the latter will insist we must sc.r.a.p our national sovereignty and merge into a New World Order-our survival will require it!
If we have not the will to resist-to fight for national sovereignty-then we have no deterrent at all. We invite the nuclear ultimatum. And we are, indeed, in grave danger. The last SALT agreement arranged for a -working meeting- between President Ford and Soviet Party Leader Leonid Brezhnev in Vladivostok, November 23 and 24, 1974, after the President had visited j.a.pan and South Korea to make "a.s.surances." As usual, the trusted Dr. Kissinger arrived early to " work out the details." The President dutifully signed what was put in front of him.
The details, as it turned out, limit the US and Soviets to 2,400 land and sea-based missiles and long- range bombers through 1985. The United States, we are told in Newsweek for December 9, 1974, has some 2,206 intercontinental missiles (ICBMs), submarine-based missiles (SLBMs), and long-range bombers. The Soviets, we are a.s.sured, have deployed 2,375 such missiles and bombers. In addition, we agreed to equip only 1,320 missiles with MIRV warheads.
After dispatching Henry Kissinger to Peking to brief the Red Chinese, President Ford returned home to present his version of the summit to twenty-six Congressional leaders. Back in Washington the President crowed: " We put a firm ceiling on the strategic-arms race. What we have done," he stated with a straight face," is to set firm and equal limits on the strategic forces of each side, thus preventing an arms race ... Vladivostok is a breakthrough for peace ... future generations will thank us.- The National Observer for December 14, 1974, expressed amazement: " With such fanciful descriptions Mr. Ford, he of the plain word and honest face, is beguiling us-or has been beguiled and is merely repeating the phrases the beguilers used on him.- The prestigious Aviation Week & s.p.a.ce Technology for December 9, 1974, warned: " The Vladivostok agreement puts a cap on nothing. The new SALT buzzword about "putting a cap on the arms race" is just some more White House press agentry that would be ludicrous if it had not proved so disastrous to the Nixon Administration and US interests at past summits."
So there you have it. Rockefeller Contingency Plan II - be used in the event that the American people cannot be persuaded to accept the surrender of US sovereignty to their New World Order-will be the blunt ultimatum: let the UN run the whole show, or those nasty Communist will blast us all to bits.
Step One was a ma.s.sive media campaign, brainwashing the public into abject horror at the thought of nuclear war Step Two was to increase Soviet military muscle (more on this in the next chapter), to lend some credence to Soviet claims of nuclear power.
Step Three was to make certain the US Armed Force were not permitted to advance technologically. The development of new weapons systems was forbidden; existing armaments were allowed to rust.
Step Four was to win Congressional approval for the Soviet-CFR planned disarmament scheme. What was approved wasn"t disarmament at all; it was a proposal to arm a World Government police force by taking weapon from the US and giving them to the UN.
Steps One through Three have already been implemented. And even while you are reading this Insiders in New York, Washington, Geneva, and London are working to convert Step Four from a plan to a fact "
As the CFR"s James Warburg declared to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee twenty-five years ago:" We will have world government whether or not you like it-by conquest or consent." Warburg and his fellow conspirators have made certain that whichever deck is used to deal the next hands, the cards have already been stacked against us.
On to chapter nine
Chapter Nine.
Building the Big Red Machine.
That the Rockefellers are a unique and remarkable family is an understatement comparable to Custer observing that" the Indians seem restless today - just before his last stand. No fiction written would create such a family. No Hollywood movie mogul could concoct such a group to star in a celluloid epic.
The Rockefellers are bigger than life and stranger than fiction.
Yet, while many biographers have told of their fabulous wealth and virtually unlimited economic and political power, few have dealt with the most remarkable aspect of the family - its close relationship over many generations with its supposed arch-enemies, the Communists. Of course, there is much about this strange relationship that we do not know. But what is already a matter of public record is astounding. To say that things are not always what they seem is a hackneyed cliche, but there has never been a, mystery to match that of the world Communist movement and the ident.i.ty of its ultimate backers.
A bit of background is required in order to understand our subject. The Bolshevik Revolution in Russia was obviously one of the great turning points in history. lt is an event over which misinformation abounds. The myth makers and re-writers of history have done their jobs well.
Today, most people believe the Communists were successful in Russia because they were able to gain the support of peasants who were sick of the tyranny of the Czars. This is not what happened.
While most know that the Bolshevik Revolution took place in November 1917, few recall that the Czar ""There has been a continuing, albeit concealed, alliance between international political capitalists and international revolutionary socialists - to their mutual benefit.""
-Antony C. Sutton Wall Street And The Bolshevik Revolutionactually abdicated seven months earlier. With the collapse of Czar Nicholas II"s monarchy, a provisional government was established by Prince Lvov, who wanted to pattern the new Russian government after the American Republic. But, unfortunately, Lvov was maneuvered out and replaced by Alexander Kerensky, an admitted Marxist who claimed to be an opponent of the Bolsheviks.
At the time the Czar abdicated and for the next several months, the eventual leaders of the Bolshevik Revolution, Lenin and Trotsky, were not even in Russia. Lenin was in Switzerland and had been living in exile since 1905. Trotsky also was in exile, working as a reporter for a Communist newspaper in - would you believe -New York City.
Trotsky was allowed to return to Russia with an American pa.s.sport; Lenin was spirited across Europe in the famous sealed train. They joined forces and by November, through bribery, cunning, brutality and deception, were able to hire enough thugs and make enough deals to seize control of Petrograd. The Bolsheviks came to power not because the downtrodden ma.s.ses of Russia called them back, but because very powerful men in Europe and the United States, including members of the Rockefeller family, sent them in.
But while these facts have been somewhat suppressed, the biggest secret of all is that throughout this period, the financing for the revolution came from super capitalists in the West, and primarily from the United States.
A meticulously doc.u.mented book on this subject was written by Antony Sutton, a research fellow for the prestigious Hoover Inst.i.tution for War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford University. Ent.i.tled Wall Street And The Bolshevik Revolution, this book by a respected and fastidiously thorough scholar was almost universally Building The Big Red Machine ignored by the ma.s.s media. One does not have to be a Quiz Kid to figure out why. Sutton sets the stage for the Bolshevik Revolution with this background: " While monopoly control of industries was once the objective of J. P. Morgan and J. D. Rockefeller, by the late nineteenth century the inner sanctums of Wall Street understood that the most efficient way to gain an unchallenged monopoly was to" geopolitical - and make society go to work for the monopolists- under the name of the public good and the public interest. This strategy was detailed in 1906 by Frederick C. Howe in his Confessions of a Monopolist. Howe, by the way, is also A figure in the story of the Bolshevik Revolution.
In his book Howe had stated: These are the rules of big business. They have superseded the teachings of our parents and are reducible to a simple maxim: Get a monopoly ; let Society work for you; and remember that the best of all business is politics, for a legislative grant, franchise, subsidy or tax exemption is worth more than a Kimberly or Comstock lode, since it does not require any labor, either mental or physical, for its exploitation.
Sutton postulates why wealthy men like the Rockefellers would cooperate with and even finance the very Communists who are allegedly sworn to bury them.
The British-born scholar points out: ... one barrier to mature understanding of recent history is the notion that all capitalists are the bitter and unswerving enemies of all Marxists and Socialists. This erroneous idea originated with Karl Marx and was undoubtedly useful to his purposes. In fact, the idea is nonsense. There has been a continuing, albeit concealed, alliance between international political capitalists and international revolutionary socialists-to their mutual benefit.
Through Sutton we can learn the names of the secret men who bankrolled the conspiracy in Russia. We know that no revolution can be successful without organization and money. The -downtrodden ma.s.ses- usually provide little of the former and none of the latter. But the Rockefellers and their cohorts can provide both. In The Surrender of An Empire, the brilliant English historian Nesta Webster observed: Had the Bolsheviks been, as they are frequently represented, a mere gang of revolutionaries out to destroy property, first in Russia, and then in every other country, they would naturally have found themselves up against organized resistance by the owners of property all over the world, and -the Moscow blaze would have been rapidly extinguished. lt was only owing to the powerful influences"
behind them that this minority party was able to seize the reins of power and, having seized them, to retain their hold of them up to the present day.
Sutton introduces his evidence of -powerful influences" behind the Communists by stating: In brief, this is a story of the Bolshevik Revolution and its aftermath, but a story that departs from the usual conceptual strait jacket approach of capitalists versus Communists. Our story postulates a partnership between international monopoly capitalism and international revolutionary socialism for their mutual benefit. The final human cost of this alliance has fallen upon the shoulders of the individual Russian and the individual American. Entrepreneurship has been brought into disrepute and the world has been propelled toward inefficient socialist planning as a result of these monopoly maneuverings in the world of politics and revolution ...
So long as we see all international revolutionaries and all international, capitalists as implacable enemies of one another, then we miss a crucial point-that there has indeed been some operational cooperation between international capitalists, including fascists.
Sutton then proceeds to present evidence of such cooperation. The proofs-which are on the public record that international banking elements, most notably Morgan and Rockefeller interests, financed the take- over by the Bolsheviks, are simply overwhelming. The thousands of facts and doc.u.ments that Sutton cites are too numerous to even summarize here. For those interested in the complete Building " The Big Red Machine " story, I highly recommend reading Sutton"s book, Wall Street And The Bolshevik Revolution And "War on Gold" try "The Rise of Hitler"
The Hoover Inst.i.tute researcher asks the obvious question: What is the motivation behind this coalition capitalists and Bolsheviks? The advantages to the Communists are obvious. But of what possible benefit could such a union be to the super-capitalists of the West?
Sutton suggests that Russia was then - and is today- the largest untapped market in the world. Moreover, Russia then and now, comprises the greatest potential compet.i.tive threat to American industrial and financial supremacy." Wall Street, - says Sutton," must have shivers when it visualizes Russia as a second super American industrial giant." By saddling Russia with unproductive economic system dependent on the West for continuous infusions of capital and technology for survival Russia could be both exploited and contained Sutton concludes:Revolution and international finance are not at all inconsistent if the result of revolution is to establish more centralized authority. International finance prefers to deal with central governments. The last thing the banking community wants is laissez-faire economy and decentralized power because these would disperse power.
This, therefore, is an explanation that fits the evidence. This handful of bankers and promoters was not Bolshevik, or Communist, or socialist, or Democrat, or even American. Above all else these men wanted markets, preferably captive international markets-and a monopoly of the captive world market as the ultimate goal....
Wall Street did indeed achieve its goal. American firms controlled by this syndicate were later to go on and build the Soviet Union, and today are well on their way to bringing the Soviet military-industrial complex into the age of the computer.
Of course, far more is involved here than just monopolists seeking new captive markets. The same people who bankrolled the Russian Communist Revolution turn out to be the same ones who fastened the Man graduated income tax onto the American middle-cla.s.s while avoiding it themselves; and it is the same group that foisted the fraudulent Federal Reserve System onto an unsuspecting American public. The actions of these super-capitalists over a period of many decades reveal that they were not merely plotting to acquire more profits; they were involved "in a conspiracy for control of the world!
No doubt all this has been a handy and profitable byproduct of the super-capitalist capture of Russia.
But, it is only part of a bigger picture. Like the cartel capitalists, the Communists work for a world government. And world government is promoted from both the top and the bottom of the conspiratorial apparatus.
In the Bolshevik Revolution we have some of the world"s richest and most powerful men financing a movement which claims that its very reason for existence is to strip of their wealth such super-rich cartel and banker capitalists as the Rockefellers.
But obviously these men have no fear of international Communism. lt is only logical to a.s.sume that if the financed it, and are willing-even eager-to cooperate wit it, it must be because they control it. Can there be another explanation that makes sense? Remember that for over 100 years it has been a standard operating procedure of the Rockefellers and their allies to control both sides of every conflict.
Having created their colony in Russia, the Rockefellers and their allies have struggled mightily ever since to keep it alive. Beginning in 1918 this clique has been engaged in transferring money and, probably more important technical information to the Soviet Union. This is made abundantly clear in Antony Sutton"s monumental three volume history, Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development. Using for the most part official State Department doc.u.ments, Sutton proves beyond any possible doubt that virtually everything the Soviets possess has been acquired from the West, princ.i.p.ally America. It is not an exaggeration to say that the USSR was made in the USA. No one has even attempted to refute Sutton"s almost excessively scholarly works. They can"t. But the misinformation machines that compose our mediacracy can ignore Sutton. And they do. Totally.
None of the foregoing makes sense if Communism really is what the Communists and the Rockefeller Establishment tell us it is. But if Communism is an arm of a bigger conspiracy to control the world by power-mad billionaires (and brilliant but ruthless academicians who have shown them how to use their power) it all becomes perfectly logical. It is at this point that we should again make it clear that this conspiracy is not made up solely of Rockefellers and other bankers and international cartelists, but includes every field of human endeavor.
Starting with Voltaire and Adam Weishaupt and running through John Ruskin, Sidney Webb, Nicholas Murray Butler, and on to the present with Insiders such as Henry Kissinger and John Kenneth Galbraith, it has always been the scholar looking for avenues of power who has shown the" sons of the very powerful- how their wealth could be used to rule the world.
We cannot stress too greatly the importance of the reader keeping in mind that this book is discussing only one segment of the conspiracy. Other important segments which work to foment labor, religious and racial strife in order to promote socialism have been described in numerous other books. These other divisions of the conspiracy often operate independently of the Rockefellers and other international bankers and it would certainly be disastrous to ignore the danger to our freedom they represent.
lt would be equally disastrous to lump all businessmen and bankers into the conspiracy. A distinction must be drawn between compet.i.tive free enterprise, the most moral and productive system ever devised, and cartel capitalism dominated by industrial monopolists and international bankers. The difference is crucial: the private enterpriser operates by offering products and services in a compet.i.tive free market, where consumers have numerous choices offered to them, while cartel capitalists use the government to force the public to do business with them. These corporate socialist-fascists are the deadly enemies of compet.i.tive private enterprise.
Liberals are willing to believe that the Rockefellers will fix prices, rig markets, establish monopolies, buy politicians, exploit employees and fire them the day before they are eligible for pensions, but they absolutely will not believe that these same men would want to rule the world or would use Communism as the striking edge of their conspiracy. When one discusses the machinations of the Rockefellers and their allies, Liberals usually respond by saying" But don"t you think they mean well?"
However, if you a.s.semble the evidence, carefully present your proofs, and try to expose these power seekers, the Establishment"s ma.s.s media will accuse you of being a dangerous paranoid who is - dividing- our people. In every other area, of course, they encourage dissent as being healthy in a "
democracy."
The Rockefeller-CFR Insiders began pushing to open up Communist Russia to US traders soon after the revolution. However, at that time public opinion ran so high against the Bolsheviks because of their barbarism that it was official US government policy not to deal with the outlaw government. The US did not even recognize the Bolshevik regime until 1933.
Galloping to the rescue were the super-capitalists of the West-men like the Vanderlips, the Harrimans, and the Rockefellers. One of the first to arrive was Frank Vanderlip, an agent of the Rockefellers and president of the Rockefeller First National City Bank, who once favorably compared Lenin to George Washington.
Before the Bolshevik revolt, Russia had succeeded the US as the world"s number one oil producer. The chaos and destruction of the revolution effectively eliminated Standard Oil"s compet.i.tion from Russia for several years until Standard could move in and get a piece of the Russian oil business.
In 1926, Standard Oil of New York and its subsidiary, Vacuum Oil Company, concluded a deal to market Soviet oil in European countries. Part of the price for the arrangement, it was reported at the time, was a loan of $75,000,000 to the Bolsheviks. In 1927, Russia"s secret partner, Standard Oil of New York, built an oil refinery in Russia. The refinery helped immeasurably in putting the Bolshevik economy back on its feet. According to Professor Sutton," This was the first United States investment in Russia since the Revolution." (We have been unable to find out if Standard Oil was even theoretically expropriated by the Communists.) lt is possible the Rockefellers still own oil production facilities behind the Iron Curtain and get the profits out through Switzerland. By doing this, they would not have to share the loot with stockholders or the tax collector.
Wherever Standard Oil would go, Chase National Bank was sure to follow. In order to rescue the Bolsheviks, who were supposedly the archenemy of profit-seeking businessmen, the Chase National Bank was instrumental in establishing the American-Russian Chamber of Commerce in 1922. President of the Chamber was Reeve Schley, a vice-president of Chase National Bank. According to Professor Sutton: In 1925, negotiations between Chase and Prom-bank extended beyond the finance of raw materials and mapped out a complete program for financing Soviet raw material exports to the US and imports of US cotton and machinery ... Chase National Bank and the Equitable Trust Company were leaders in the Soviet credit business.
The Rockefeller"s Chase National Bank also was involved in selling Bolshevik bonds in the United States in 1928. Patriotic organizations denounced the Chase as an -international fence." Chase was called " a disgrace to America ... They will go to any lengths for a few dollars" profits.- Congressman Louis McFadden, chairman of the House Banking Committee, maintained in a speech to his fellow Congressmen: The Soviet government has been given United States Treasury funds by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks acting through the Chase Bank and the Guaranty Trust Company and other banks in New York City ...
... Open up -the books of Amtorg, the trading organization of the Soviet government in New York, and of Gostorg, the general office of the Soviet Trade Organization, and of the State Bank of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and you will be staggered to see how much American money has been taken from the United States Treasury for the benefit of Russia. Find out what business has been transacted for the State Bank of Soviet Russia by its correspondent, the Chase Bank of New York; In his three-volume history of Soviet technological development, Professor Sutton proves conclusively that there is hardly a segment of the Soviet economy which is not a result of the transference of Western, particularly American, technology.
This cannot be wholly the result of accident. For fifty years the Federal Reserve-CFR-Rockefeller- Insider crowd has advocated and carried out policies aimed at increasing the power of their satellite, the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, America spends $90 billion a year on defense to protect itself from the enemy the Insiders are building up.
What has been true in the past is even more valid today. Heading the parade to transfer technology and increase aid and trade with the Communists are the Rockefellers and the Council on Foreign Relations.
The bandmaster for the entire enterprise is David Rockefeller.Most Americans regard Nelson Rockefeller as the most important member of the Rockefeller family. He is, after all, the (unelected) Vice President of the United States. Since 1960 he has been a perennial candidate for the Presidency. Nelson Rockefeller is a compulsive extrovert who loves to be in the public eye. As a result, he is far better known than his brothers. But notoriety is an unreliable measure of power.
Students of the Eastern Establishment are well aware that while Nelson gets the ink, it is little brother David who "wields the power. " As the de facto head of the American Establishment,- reports Time," It has been said that for him the presidency would be a demotion. " The New York Times" - concurs: "He has come to be regarded as a spokesman for enlightened American capitalism.- Of course, to the New York Times, "enlightened American capitalism" means government planning of virtually every facet of the American economy, major transfers of America"s vital technology to the Communists, the internationalizing of American business through multinational holding companies, and the creation of a World Government.
In 1964 David Rockefeller and Nikita Khrushchev were closeted in Moscow for two and a half hours.
The Chicago Tribune of September 12, 1964, reported: David Rockefeller ... briefed President Johnson today on his recent meeting with Premier Nikita 5.
Khrushchev of Russia ... the Red leader said the United States and the Soviet Union " should do more trade." Khrushchev, according to Rockefeller, said he would like to see the United States extend long- term credits to the Russians.
As a matter of fact, the meeting between Rockefeller and Khrushchev had been held two months earlier, in July. Apparently whatever trouble had developed was not settled until the President was briefed in September. Within a month, Khrushchev was deposed. David Rockefeller was soon meeting on the Black Sea with his successor, and in October of 1966 L.B.J. announced his new policy of "building bridges" to Eastern Europe. This was at the time the Communists were escalating the Vietnam War, and virtually all of the war materiel to do so came from the ammunitions factories of Eastern Europe. It seemed politically incredible for Johnson to propose such a policy while American troops were being killed and maimed by ammunition and weapons from the Communist bloc. lt would have been flabbergasting if one had not been following the machinations of David Rockefeller.
On October 7, 1966 , President Johnson, a man who has appointed a CFR member to virtually every strategic position in his administration.,stated: We intend to press for legislative authority to negotiate trade agreements which could extend most- favored-natlon tariff treatment to European Communist states ...
We will reduce export controls on East-West trade with respect to hundreds of non-strategic items ...
Six days later, the New York Times- reported: The United States put into effect today one of President Johnson"s proposals for stimulating East-West trade by removing restrictions on the export of more than four hundred commodities to the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe ...
Among the categories from which items have been selected for export relaxation are vegetables, cereals, fodder, hides, crude and manufactured rubber, pulp and waste paper, textiles and textile fibers, crude fertilizers, metal ores and sc.r.a.p, petroleum, gas and derivatives, chemical compounds and products, dyes, medicines, fireworks, detergents, plastic materials, metal products and machinery, and scientific and professional instruments.
Virtually every one of these "non-strategic" items has a direct or indirect use in war. Later, items such as rifle cleaning compounds, electronic equipment, computers, and radar were declared "non-strategic" and cleared for shipment to the Soviet Union. Congress drew the lines at sending -strategic- goods to the Reds, but the trick was simply to declare almost everything "non-strategic" A machine gun is strategic, but the tools for making it and the chemicals to propel the bullets were declared" nonstrategic.- The Viet Cong and North Vietnamese received 8 % of their war materials from Russia and the Soviet bloc nations. Since their economies are incapable of supporting a war, the Communist arm of the conspiracy needed help from the Finance Capitalist arm. The Unite States financed and equipped both sides of the terrible Vietnamese war, killing nearly 55,000 of our own soldier by proxy. Again, the ma.s.s media kept the American public from learning this shocking truth.
Not surprisingly, the Rockefellers have been leaders in championing this b.l.o.o.d.y trade. On January 16,1967,one of the most incredible articles ever to appear in a newspaper graced the front page of the Establishment"s daily, the New York Times. Under the headline, " Eaton Joins Rockefellers To Spur Trade With Reds," the article stated: An alliance of family fortunes linking Wall Street and the Midwest is going to try to build economic bridges between the free world and Communist Europe.
The International Basic Economy Corporation, controlled by the Rockefeller brothers, and Tower International, Inc., headed by Cyrus 5. Eaton, Jr., Cleveland financier, plan to cooperate in promoting trade between the Iron Curtain countries, including the Soviet Union ...
International Basic Economy Corporation (IBEC) is run by Richard Aldrich, grandson of Federal Reserve plotter Nelson Aldrich, and Rodman Rockefeller (CFR), Rocky"s son. On October 20, 1969,IBEC announced that N. M. Rothschild & Sons of London had entered into partnership with the firm.
Cyrus Eaton, Jr. is the son of the notoriously pro-Soviet Cyrus Eaton, who began his career as secretary to John D. Rockefeller. It is believed that Eaton"s rise to power in finance resulted from backing by his mentor. So the agreement between Tower International and IBEC continues an old alliance. Although Eaton"s name does not appear on the CFR"s membership rolls, the Reece Committee which investigated foundations for Congress in 1953 found that the notorious Soviet apologist was a secret member.
Among the "non-strategic" items which the Rockefeller-Eaton axis is going to build for the Communists are ten rubber goods plants and a $50 million aluminum producing plant for the Reds. (Aluminum for jet planes has been considered -non-strategic- under the Johnson Nixon-Ford Administrations.) Even more incredibly, the Times reveals: Last month, Tower International reached a tentative New York Times January 16 1967 Eaton Joins Rochefellers To Spur Trade With Reds.Cleveland and New York Financers to set up an East-West Exchange
David Rockefeller,chairman of the Chase Manhattan Bank, is the most important and most effective promoter In the US of aid to the Communists. He was all smiles (above) after concluding a deal in Red China with Chou En-lai; he has joined wit Cyrus Eaton Jr. (see clipping a left) to promote further trade with the Soviet Union; his successes have delighted such important Communist rulers a Soviet Finance Minister V. F Garbuzov, (below). Thanks to the House of Rockefeller, "trade" with the Communists (always financed by the US taxpayer, of course), now amounts to millions of dollars every year.
Agreement with the Soviet patent and licensing organization Licensintorg, covering future licensing and patent transactions. Until now, Mr. Eaton said, the Russians have left the buying and selling of licenses and patents to the Amtorg Trading Corporation, the official Soviet agency in this country for promoting Soviet-American trade.
This means that the Rockefellers and Eatons have a monopoly on the transfer of technological capability to the supposed enemies of the super-rich, the Soviet Union. According to the Times: Mr. Eaton acknowledged the difficulties that Amtorg"s representatives had encountered here in trying to arrange licensing agreements with American companies." As you can imagine," he said, " it is almost impossible for a Russian to walk into the research department of an American aeros.p.a.ce company and try to arrange the purchase of a patent."
Certainly every loyal American will say to himself, " Well, I would hope to G.o.d the Soviets couldn"t walk into our defense plants and buy a patent." The Rockefellers and the Eatons have solved that problem for the Communists. Now, instead of dealing with an official agency of the Soviet government, American concerns will be dealing with the Rockefellers. You can imagine how many doors that will open to the Communists!
Thus, by the purchase of patents for the Communists, the Rockefellers are virtually in charge of research and development for the Soviet military machine. Their goal is to enable the Soviets to ma.s.s-produce American developments. And let us emphasize that the transfer of such technical knowledge is even more important than the sale of weapons. Ammunition is used once, then it is gone. Weapons break down, vehicles need replacement parts, and sophisticated arms are not easy to produce in a backward economy, no matter how much manpower is available.
While the trade doors were, opened during the LBJ Administration, the advent of detente under the Nixon Kissinger era produced an open house in American plants and research labs for the Red traders. Now, a process that may have taken an American corporation a decade to develop is transferred in toto to the Communists. Does it make sense to spend $90 billion a year on national defense and then deliberately to increase the war-making potential of an avowed enemy? It does to Mr. Rockefeller and the Insiders.
Since the Rockefellers now have an exclusive contract to supply American patents to the Soviets, they are by dictionary definition agents of the Big Red Machine. lt goes without saying that they are the most important Communist agents in history. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to define the Communists as Rockefeller agents?
An increasingly important tool for the looting of America by the Rockefellers and their cohorts is the Export-Import Bank, known as Eximbank. lt was established in 1934 to finance and promote trade with the Soviet Union. But it wasn"t until Richard Nixon signed a -Presidential Determination- on October 18, 1972, that the Eximbank began to finance trade with the Soviets.
The process by which the Eximbank works is simple enough. An US exporter goes to his own bank, which makes arrangements for the Eximbank to loan money to the exporter"s foreign buyer. Eximbank then grants a credit to the American bank, which in turn pays the US exporter. Thus the exporter is immediately paid, the American bank is cut in on the deal, and the foreign importer gets a subsidized interest rate.
Who pays the interest subsidy? You hardly need ask. The US taxpayer pays it through Treasury grants to the Eximbank. While most Americans consider themselves lucky if they can arrange to borrow money for less than twelve % interest, and even the prime rate (the rate at which the largest American corporations with the best credit rating can borrow) is as high as ten %, the Eximbank has been making loans to foreigners at six % interest. The difference is a four % subsidy to any foreigner who buys our goods.
What happens if the foreign buyer defaults? Auf Wiedersehen. Adios. Sayonara. If the customer sneaks out of the restaurant without paying the check, the waiter puts the arm on the American taxpayer who, once again, picks up the tab. How would you like to be in a business in which the government paid you in full for all sales and accepted the responsibility for collecting all accounts receivable? As the late General Thomas Lane noted: In this system, the U.S. exporter has nothing to lose by sales to bad credit risks. The US commercial bank has nothing to lose. The inclination therefore under our profit system is to sell products to anyone who will sign a loan agreement which you can run by the Eximbank. Irresponsibility is rewarded ...
It is an old story. Public money is n.o.body"s money. As a sense of civic responsibility declines, the public money is used to private advantage [often the Rockefellers].
As with other free enterprisers, we favor foreign trade. But when American exporters ask the taxpayers to take the risks while they take a guaranteed profit, it is not trade but looting. lt is as though you were an automobile dealer with an exclusive to sell Cadillacs to deadbeats in Chad, and you had a guarantee that American taxpayers would make all payments the Chads defaulted. a.s.suredly, you could" sell-a lot of cars that way. You could unload every Cadillac General Motors could produce! And you wouldn"t care a fig whether the customer ever pays for the car.
Shortly after the May 1972 Summit Conference in Moscow, the Nixon Administration began pushing to extend the credit of the US taxpayers directly to the Soviets. As part of the Nixon-Kissinger detente, Congress was to extend to the Bolsheviks tariff status as a " Most Favored Nation,- and Eximbank loans were to be arranged for the transfer of the most advanced American technology to Russia and for the development of Soviet energy sources. A UPI release dated July 17, 1973,provides the explanation David Rockefeller gave for such outrages: David Rockefeller, board chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank, urged Congress Tuesday to grant most favored nation trading status to the Soviet Union, claiming the move could help slow the arms race.
"The desire of the Soviets to use Western trade, credits and technology to bolster their own economy hopefully could be accompanied by their giving lower priority to military programs," Rockefeller testified . . . "We haven"t stopped the arms race by withholding exports (in the past)," he said.
