It is commonly assumed that there is no aristocracy, let alone a nobility,
in America. Nothing could be farther from the truth. In his work, Ancestors
of American Presidents, Gary Boyd Roberts of the New England Historic
Genealogical Society reveals nineteen presidents descended from Edward III.
John Galt (a pen name of a researcher fearing to be identified), in an
unpublished manuscript (now in my possession), The Genealogy of the New
World Order, has traced the royal ancestry of George Bush, which traces from
Charlemagne and Alfred the Great, all the way down through George Bush's 32
presidential cousins!

Sadly, this manuscript may remain unpublished. Galt and I were scheduled to
do a 2 hour radio interview on Tom Valentine's Radio Free America, a
shortwave broadcast that reaches 250,000 listeners who are especially
attuned to such topics. Just two days before the interview, a fire burned
down the transmitting station. Unfortunately, this fire, which involved no
foul play, according to Valentine, frightened Galt who now refuses to
communicate with me or anyone else on these matters. Nonetheless, I am
convinced of the soundness of Galt's conclusions.

I attended the Southwest Genealogical Conference, which met last year at the
Hyatt Regency, downtown Phoenix, during which Galt presented the most
controversial aspects of his work to the top authorities there. Everyone
acquiesced to the depths of his knowledge. Several of the attendees were
close personal friends of Gary Boyd Roberts.

Both George Bush and Barbara Pierce Bush (of Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner
and Smith) are descended from the same Pierce family of England as President
Franklin Pierce. Originally known as the enormously powerful Percy family of
England, a name change to Pierce was required along with a quick immigration
to America, when their involvement in the failed Gun Powder Plot to blow up
Parliament became known. One of the Percy castles, where this plot was
hatched was known as Sion House.

Other notable Bush relatives include the Grovsner families of England and
America, and the Taft family of Ohio. The Grovsners of England are the Dukes
of Westminster who own the most substantial properties in the City of London
--- the banker's capital. Of over 100,000 acres of Grovsner property, most
is in the financial district of London! In America, the Grovsners founded
Nation Geographic. National Geographic is known for sweeping down on the
archeological treasures of the world, especially those of a religious
significance, and spiriting them away to the Smithsonian Institute,
controlled by their cousins the Smithsons, also descended from the Percys.
Imposing false interpretations on religious finds is very important to the
House of Sion. As interesting as these family affiliations are, it is the
Taft family which turns out to be the most politically interesting.

Although George Bush's official 1980 presidential candidate biography listed
both his Presidency of the TRILATERAL COMMISSION and his membership in the
YALE secret society SKULL AND BONES, no major news organization mentioned
either of these telling affiliations. Let us take a closer look at SKULL AND
BONES.

SKULL AND BONES (S&B), was first established by the graduating class of 1832
of YALE UNIVERSITY by William Harrison Russell and Alphonso Taft, the father
of President William Howard Taft. It is significant to note that Alphonso
Taft was thereafter powerful enough to manipulate his son into both the
presidency and the Chief Justiceship of the U.S. SUPREME COURT. Each year
S&B graduating seniors would initiate only 15 new members...selected
exclusively from the ranks of the offspring of the super wealthy. From the
beginning, S&B was the recruiting grounds for William Harrison Russell's
RUSSELL TRUST COMPANY which managed the SKULL AND BONES treasury.

Founded in 1823, the RUSSELL TRUST COMPANY superseded the Perkins family to
become the dominant opium trafficking syndicate in North America. The
shipping manifests from those days have survived intact to make this claim
solid. Russell's partners in this venture were those loyal to the Crown of
ENGLAND, and this allegiance persists to this day with their descendants,
who comprise what is known today as the EASTERN LIBERAL ESTABLISHMENT.
Although there are more billionaires in AMERICA than in GREAT BRITAIN, the
largest billionaires of AMERICA still cannot hold a candle to the largest
billionaires of ENGLAND. The wealth of the Royal Family of GREAT BRITAIN and
this Tory group in AMERICA was all founded on the illegal opium trade from
TURKEY to CHINA. Today nothing has facilitated the illegal narcotics trade
as much as the phoney drug war of the Reagan/Bush era. A dozen books name
Theodore Shackley (who served as number two under George Bush in the CENTRAL
INTELLIGENCE AGENCY) as the man who organized the opium trade in the Golden
Triangle. Contra cocaine, Mena, Arkansas---it all tempts one to speculate
that maybe the Bush family never abandoned their interest in this most
lucrative narcotics business.

Among Russell's partners was Warren Delano, Jr., Chief of RUSSELL TRUST
operations in Canton, CHINA. Delano was the grandfather of President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, another Bush cousin. Other Russell partners were
John Cleve Green, whose opium fortunes financed PRINCETON UNIVERSITY, Abiel
Abbott Low, whose opium fortune financed the construction of COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY, Joseph Coolidge, whose son organized the UNITED FRUIT COMPANY,
and his grandson, Archibald Cary Coolidge, who was a founding executive
officer of the COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS. Is the reader beginning to
discern a pattern?

It is therefore little wonder that those tapped yearly for S&B have gone on
to positions of enormous power. Take for example, publishers Henry Luce (S&B
1920) and William F. Buckley (S&B 1950, NEW YORK TIMES GENERAL MANAGER Amory
Howe Bradford (S&B 1934), CIA power players William P. Bundy (S&B 1939),
McGeorge Bundy (S&B 1940), Richard Bissel (S&B 1932), Senator David Bowen,
Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Oversight Committee (S&B 1963, and
anti-war activist Reverend William Sloan Coffin (S&B 1949)....remember, this
group intends to control both sides of every national debate. Starting to
see a pattern?

This just scratches the surface of Anthony Sutton's most scholarly work on
this YALE secret society, THE ORDER. Sutton's subsequent work, HOW THE ORDER
CREATES WAR AND REVOLUTION reveals that half of the board of directors of
J.P. MORGAN AND COMPANY were S&B graduates. The black flag with the white
skull and crossbones emblem, which was the corporate flag gracing all
Russell Trust Company ships, which was adopted as the emblem of the SKULL
AND BONES fraternity at YALE, acquired such a reputation back then that even
to this day it symbolizes piracy.

Is it not strange that the media spent so much time lint-picking the
personalities of the candidates in the 1990 election and showed no interest
in George Bush's membership in a secret society whose initiation rites
involved carrying the new recruit naked in a coffin into a building the
society calls "the Tomb"?

Eventually, S&B came to be dominated by BROWN BROTHERS HARRIMAN, the largest
private investment bank in AMERICA. The CEO of this power group, Averell
Harriman, was the mentor of George Bush's father, Prescott Bush. George
Bush's grandfather George Herbert Walker, served as president of BROWN
BROTHERS HARRIMAN. The Bush family has SPENT three generations in service to
the Harriman interests. That is why it is downright nefarious that it was
the widow of Averell Harriman, Pamela Harriman, who was the principle backer
of Bill Clinton for President. When Clinton lost the campaign for Governor
of Arkansas, it was Pamela who picked him up, dusted him off and made him
chairman of PAM-PAC--the largest fund raising source for the Democratic
Party. Some cynics think that George Bush is still president, using Bill
Clinton as a front, just as he had used Ronald Reagan. Remember, anyone who
wanted to meet with President Reagan had to first go through Bush's former
campagn manager, Chief of Staff James Baker.

There is a book that was recently on the New York Times bestsellers list
about Pamela Harriman, entitled LIFE OF THE PARTY. This book, written by the
diplomatic correspondent for TIME MAGAZINE, minces no words about the fact
that Pamela Harriman "put the Clinton Administration together". In fact it
notes that an ancestor of Pamela's conspired with the Percys in the Gun
Powder Plot.

BROWN BROTHERS HARRRIMAN headed by Averell Harriman, the SULLIVAN AND
CROMWELL LAW FIRM, headed by John Foster Dulles and the UNION BANK, headed
by George Herbert Walker and Prescott Bush, came to represent the entire
business interests of the NAZI cartels in the U.S. before and during World
War II. It may therefore seem astounding to the average reader that, after
the war John Dulles could go on to be Secretary of State, his brother Allen
Dulles Director of CIA and Averell Harriman Ambassador to the USSR. An
understanding of this anomaly will provide a key to how the world is run.

A careful reading of Anthony Sutton's works, WALL STREET AND THE BOLSHEVIK
REVOLUTION and WALL STREET AND THE RISE OF HITLER will reveal that the
wealthiest individuals in the world (including John D. Rockefeller and
Prescott Bush) financed the left wing Bolsheviks and the right wing Nazis
and clashed them in war for profit and power. The two Wall Street firms most
in the forefront of the financing of the Bolshevik revolution were J.P.
MORGAN and BROWN BROTHERS HARRIMAN. A full half of the board of directors of
these two firms were former members of SKULL AND BONES at YALE!! Percy
Rockefeller, Prescott Bush and Roland Harriman were in the same pledge
class.

This group intends to control both sides of every conflict. Fletcher
Prouty's book, JFK, VIETNAM AND THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY (now
in local bookstores), will provide an insider's viewpoint of how these same
centers of finance stay on top by controlling both Communist and
anti-Communist armies.

The influence of the YALE secret society, S&B, on world affairs is so great
that a short article like this cannot attempt more than present an outline
and a direction for further research. Needless to say, this group has cut
through history like a snowplow. As previously stated, Alfonso Taft,
co-founder of S&B and ancestor of George Bush, was sufficiently influential
to manipulate his son, William Howard Taft, into both the presidency
(1909-1913) and then the Chief Justiceship of the Supreme Court. Quite
significantly it was during the Taft presidency that our constitution was
dismantled. As Chief Justice, Taft fashioned the state constitutions of
Arizona and New Mexico--also highly significant.

During the Taft presidency, the bills which forever altered the balance of
power of The Constitution were incubated. The 17th Amendment, calling for
the direct election of senators, guaranteeing that senatorial elections
could be purchased by big money interests was passed April 1913. Previously,
while senators were elected by the state legislatures, the U.S. Senate was a
bastion of conservative resistance to the elitists. If our state legislators
had the power to elect our U.S. senators, many of us would take the trouble
to get to know who they are.

Now the only people who "invest" in state legislators are those whose
economic interests are directly impacted.

The Federal Reserve Act and the Income Tax Amendment (16th Amendment) of
1913 also issued directly from the Taft presidency. William Taft served as
Commissioner of Internal Revenue just before being elected president. It is
hard to imagine anything more oppressive than the IRS, which has been
ruthlessly used to systematically destroy the middle class of America.
Anyone who seriously wishes to understand how the Federal Reserve was used
to utterly subvert the intention of the Constitution must read THE SECRETS
OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE, by Eustice Mullins. Pushed through congress by
Senator Nelson Aldridge, the maternal grandfather of David Rockefeller, this
act of infamy marks the death knell of this nation's economic freedom.

The Federal Reserve is not federal , but is a consortium of private central
banks. The federal government does not own a single share, and none of us
can buy a share of this--the most lucrative corporate stock in the world.
Shares are held today by the heirs of the original 20 founding families.
With profits exceeding 150 billion per annum, no corporation in the world
comes anywhere close. The Federal Reserve is simply the single most
impactful agency upon the U.S. economy and the world's principle engine for
the mal-distribution of wealth. If the profits of the Federal Reserve are
compounded from its inception to the present, a sum roughly equivalent to
the national debt results. Back then, Wall Street interests "fought" this
bill while all along they were its authors. Sadly I note that these same
tactics are successfully used to this day.

Averell Harriman grew up on a 20,000 acre estate in New York. His father,
W.A. Harriman was the original owner of the SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD, which
runs through northern Arizona. William Boyce Thompson , who left Arizona the
Thompson Arboretum near Globe, was the first governor of the Federal
Reserve.

The presidential election of 1912 had a great deal in common with the 1990
election---ALL THREE CANDIDATES WERE FINANCED BY THE SAME INTERESTS!!
William Taft would have beaten Woodrow Wilson in a two-way race but another
Republican, Teddy Roosevelt entered the race to divide the Republican vote.
What did Taft care; he was promised the Chief Justiceship of the U.S.
Supreme Court. With the Federal Reserve sure to become law, the
international bankers now had a mechanism in place to fund a world war. They
needed a popular Democratic president to lead the masses into war. Enter
Woodrow Wilson.

Mounted on a wall in the Wrigley Mansion, former home of P.T. Wrigley, is a
letter Teddy Roosevelt wrote to P.T. Wrigley thanking him for "the first and
largest financial contribution" to his 1912 race for the presidency. On the
way to Sedona is a resort that once served as a principle watering hole for
the wealthiest men in the world. Known as Castle Hot Springs, this resort
was built in 1888 by Frank Murphy, the contractor who built the SOUTHERN
PACIFIC RAILROAD for W.A. Harriman. To this day the summer homes there of
John D. Rockefeller I and P.T. Wrigley sit side by side with those of the
grandfather of Casper Weinberger and Cornelius Vanderbuilt.
