If
Jesse Jones served as the “bridge” between the purposes of the Democratic Party
in the 1930s and the source of funds to accomplish such purposes, those initially "egalitarian" purposes quickly disintegrated into a factional grab for
government succor—much as a newly born puppies fight amongst themselves in
competition for access to their mother’s teats. Being "connected" came to mean the ability to manipulate the system that chose which contractors would perform the services the government's policy planners ordained. Eventually that would lead to planning the policy around the desire for the income from the contracts. That is, naturally, how democracy works.
An Unbridled Administrator
The New Deal was merely an updated continuation of the unfinished agenda begun by the previous Democratic President, Woodrow Wilson—interrupted by Republicans Coolidge, Harding and Hoover. An outline of that platform had conveniently been set forth for us in a pathetically-written novel, originally published anonymously shortly before the 1912 election, whose author was revealed in the spring of 1916 to be none other than the mysterious little man from Texas known as Colonel House.
In Philip Dru, Administrator House laid out his plans for an efficiently run new world order—a model for rule by a beneficent executive officer in whose hands power would be centralized. The legislative agenda necessary to accomplish that ideal government was systematically put in place during the Woodrow Wilson administration (1913-1921) through enactment of:

- The Federal Reserve Banking System (Owen-Glass Act, signed December 23, 1913) and
- The progressive federal income tax (Sixteenth Amendment, U.S. Constitution, ratified February 3, 1913).
The motive behind the Wilson agenda, to control
the masses without upsetting the applecart, was reflected on the title page of
House’s novel:
"No war of classes, no hostility to existing wealth, no wanton or unjust violation of the rights of property, but a constant disposition to ameliorate the condition of the classes least favored by fortune." --Giuseppe Mazzini [1]

The Model
House
was assisted in his effort to set up a central bank by other behind-the-scenes advisers (in a curtain-behind-the-curtain
sleight-of-hand maneuver), the most important of which was the German Jewish
banker Paul Warburg. In 1907 Warburg met
Senator Nelson Aldrich, who “visited [Jacob Schiff’s office at] Kuhn, Loeb to
ask how the Reichsbank issued treasury bills. Schiff didn’t know and summoned Paul. By the time Aldrich left, an enthusiastic Paul mused, ‘There marches
national bank currency and there goes currency reform.’” [2]
The distribution clearinghouse Warburg designed, which was modified by Congress before final passage, is comprised of an elite class of bankers who are shareholders of the private centralized banking system granted power in 1913 — a class whose ultimate goal is to break free of any legislative or judicial constraints and to govern the country much as Philip Dru was allowed to do in Col. House’s warped imagination. The bankers operate within twelve separate regions of the country, each of which is governed by a separate governing board.

| Jesse Jones, super man? |
Col.
House’s challenge after the Act was passed (but before the system was actually
operating to its full extent) was to put in place the administrative
infrastructure he had laid out in his book. As individuals in power tend to
do, he sought expertise for his experiment only from his inner circle of
acquaintances. Jesse Jones states in his
autobiography that, though he had refused House’s repeated summonses to Washington
throughout the Wilson Administration, he finally gave in to the entreaties
because his country needed him to help alleviate the symptoms of the depression;
Jones thus viewed himself as the
ideal administrator. Once Roosevelt replaced him, Jones’ support for the New Deal
waned. Nevertheless, once the
legislation had been enacted and forced down the throat of the Supreme Court,
the enhanced administrative power given the executive branch remained.
Acting as the financial hub of the New Deal government of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Jones distributed “Fifty Billion Dollars,” according to the title of
his autobiography, though it has never been clear how that money was
created. While Jones was head of the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation he had the power to dole out and deny
contracts to individuals and corporations in order to keep the masses employed
so as not to be engaged in revolutionary activity against the existing power
structure. Upon his return to Houston in
1946, he would not only continue his commercial real estate develop business,
but would work through his Houston Endowment Foundation to set up a secret method to finance intelligence operations
which will be discussed in a future essay. [3]
Secret
Visionaries
One
platform plank remained unfulfilled by the end of Wilson’s term of office. Although it would take another world war to gain
approval for that goal — which, incidentally, helped to further the international
banking ideal desired by the Bank for International Settlements in Switzerland — Wilson was still hopeful
he could achieve that goal. In order to
draft a constitution for the League of Nations,
he appointed a four-main committee chaired by Col. House and named another man,
like Warburg, from a German Jewish background, as adviser to the
committee. George Louis Beer, whose
father Julius Beer lived next door to Swiss-born Meyer Guggenheim and his son
William on West 77th
Street in New
York, [4]
used his knowledge of British imperial and colonial policy to develop a
constitution for world government along similar lines. [5] He was chief of the colonial
division of the American delegation at the Paris Peace Conference and in charge
of helping to draft the mandates for the administration of the former German
colonies.
Just as a plant absorbs its required nutrients from the soil, the
Guggenheim family had
been instrumental in acquiring for the United States scarce minerals necessary for the nation’s strategic
purposes — coinage, weapons manufacture, etc. Because of the scarcity and the expense in obtaining those minerals, the
Guggenheims therefore occupied a powerful position in America at the
turn of the century. Having been a
member of the Jewish clique which included an
assortment of Jewish bankers in Kuhn, Loeb and other Wall Street firms, George
Louis Beer understood the importance of such strategic metals in banking and
world trade. [6] His family maintained connections among the
Jewish banking community which moved from one nation to the next, setting up
centralized banking systems which could act within a global clearinghouse in an
attempt to stabilize each nation to maintain control over its currency .[7]
The
Texas Network
Like
Col. House, Jesse Jones greased a political machine composed of Texans with
whom he had been associated in business and banking. It is the network to which they gave power
which maintains power today. It is that
network that explains who Halliburton
is. Without understanding the past, we
can never hope to understand the current power structure — how it thinks and how
it works.
We
can identify the network by its components — the businesses in which its
constituents were engaged. The purpose
of the “administrator” is to distribute the government’s money to those
businesses, assuring the network that it will not need to compete with the same
type of businesses not controlled by the network. Since money usually determines the outcomes
of elections, the network sets up its own method of bypassing the law in order
to funnel money to its candidates. Bush II's administration used Jack Abramoff and Tom DeLay in that role.
Vice
President Dick Cheney’s primary function was to distribute contracts to his old
employer, Halliburton, as well as to lay the groundwork for the pretext
necessary to get the United
States involved in a war. Can it really be that simple? The best way to answer that question is to
examine and analyze the governing boards of Halliburton throughout its
history — a time-consuming process. In “TheHalliburton Riddle,” we stated: “Connally,
Rumsfeld, Cheney and Armstrong — of those four, three would serve as directors of
Halliburton. The fourth, Rumsfeld, as Secretary of Defense would help George W.
Bush engineer the war in Iraq, to Halliburton’s benefit,” thus intimating that
there is a definite connection between that corporate clique and the policy
decisions being made in the White House, and that, to a great degree, those
policy decisions are concerned primarily with trade deficits and currency
stabilization — issues with which the United States has been dealing throughout
its history.

| Federal Reserve System regions |
The State of Texas
houses one of the twelve district banks that operate the Federal Reserve. Located in Dallas, it controls all banks in Texas, southern New Mexico and northern Louisiana. Texans have always resented their
subservience to Eastern capital, always searching for a way to avoid having to
go to New York
or Boston to
sell their bonds or issue new corporate stock. When Jesse Jones headed the RFC, he made sure that his friends back home
were not neglected, and those friends liked having one of their own as the
nation’s chief banker.
Although
Jones had, in 1917 been one of the initial incorporators of Houston-based
Humble Oil Company (a majority of whose stock was secretly, and illegally,
owned by Standard Oil of New Jersey), he sold his stock when began work for the
Red Cross at the end of World War I. His
co-founders, however, because of Texas’
importance as a resource for petroleum and natural gas, would eventually see
themselves in the chairmanship of Standard Oil of New Jersey. They would also gain access to the board of Houston’s prestigious Rice University,
patterned along the lines of Princeton, where
Jersey Standard was originally headquartered.
The founders would also control a major segment of the beef producing
industry — with its King Ranch in South Texas
performing a dual function as cattle raiser and oil producer (having leased its
land to Humble Oil, which found huge oil fields there).
It was, in fact, a scion of the King Ranch — Congressman Richard Mifflin
Kleberg — who gave Jesse Jones’ replacement as head of the Texas network his
first job in Washington, D.C. in 1932. While
young Lyndon Baines Johnson was still learning the ropes as Cong. Kleberg’s
aide, Col. House was in New York
meeting periodically with FDR. But between
1938 (when Col. House died) and about 1941, control of the Texas network wavered between Jesse Jones
and Vice-President John Nance Garner. Once Garner was replaced as Vice-President by Henry Wallace, Jones’
power diminished, and the Texas
network came increasingly under the influence of Lyndon Johnson. It was at that point that George and Herman
Brown, founders of Brown & Root, began to use Johnson’s inside information
and connection to FDR to keep the federal dollars flowing into Texas.
Johnson’s
most significant and most secret tap into inside information sources, however,
involved a Texan who is even more mysterious than Col. House — a man named Robert Bernerd Anderson, who possibly did more than any other individual to ensure Texas’ access to mineral
resources independent of the Federal Reserve’s New York and Boston districts. Anderson
will be the subject of more detailed study in the future.
The
political machine for which LBJ worked (he only thought he controlled it;
whereas, it was the other way round) continues to reside in Texas today, although it is now headed by
Republicans rather than Democrats, and is still centered within the Federal Reserve
Bank in Dallas. Thus, it is no mere coincidence that three of
the last seven Presidents allegedly “elected” by the people of the United States have claimed Texas as their residence. [8] The disproportionate influence asserted by
Texans stems no more from a coincidence than does the fact that the election of
2004 pitted two members of the Yale secret society Skull and Bones against each
other. Identification of the financial/political
network (some have used the term “cabal”) which rose to power in 1963 — and which
is so reluctant to relinquish that power — is of urgent importance in order to
change the paradigm that has taken America ever closer into the grips of
globalism.
Just
as Brown & Root (Halliburton) understood that maintaining political power is a necessary step
in order to assure its continued access to government contracts, the contracts
themselves helped to determine what policies those politicians, whose power was
contingent on continuing to feed contracts to the network which elected them,
would pursue. It is a vicious cycle that,
in the hands of Texans, always becomes deadly and dangerous.

William R. Corson, The Armies of Ignorance: The Rise of the American
Intelligence Empire (New York: Dial Press/James Wade Books, 1977). According to Corson, Jones had been chosen by
Colonel House to serve under Major General Ralph H. Van Deman—General Pershing's
senior intelligence officer and Chief of Allied Counterintelligence—at the
Paris Peace Commission after World War I. Van Deman’s 38-year career in intelligence had taken place long before
the Office of Strategic Services, the Central Intelligence Agency, or National
Security Agency had been created, before any funding mechanism for intelligence
operations existed. Corson had lived, worked, and traveled in Japan, China, Indonesia,
Thailand, Burma, Laos, and Cambodia throughout the cold war years and had fought
in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam—retiring
as a retired lieutenant colonel from the Marine Corps. He had “learned the intricate workings of the
intelligence community in a wide variety of field and staff intelligence
assignments,” including “Staff Secretary of the President's Special Group (CI)
joint DOD-CIA Committee on
Counterinsurgency R & D, Special Assistant to the Secretary of Defense's
Director of the Advanced Research Projects Agency, and Officer in Charge of the
Assistant Secretary of Defense (Systems Analysis) Southeast Asia intelligence
evaluation program.” Yet, with all that
experience, after talking with Van Deman, Corson admitted to being left “with a
conundrum which after 27 years remains unresolved. It involved my stated
disbelief that the activities surrounding his card file project could have been
carried out without the financial assistance of others. His reply was
equally disarming and bemusing. In essence he said, “I have never
personally accepted a penny to carry out this work; however, others have had
need for funds to do what is necessary’ and he asked, ‘Do you have any quarrel
with the idea that private citizens should not make funds available to those
able and willing to carry out the work required to keep us free?’ We left
it there with his gentle admonition, ‘Your father understood this and there is
no reason you should not.’ My thoughts jumped to my father's relationship
with Jesse Jones and the Houston Endowment, but Van Deman, in a sphinxlike
pronouncement said, ‘Your future lies with those in the active forces, but
never fear, there are those in reserve who will help in their own silent ways.’”

“Created” Condi Rice?” written in 2004 (see revised article and also Part 2).
As stated in that essay, the Guggenheims had amassed a fortune in lead,
copper and silver smelting in Colorado,
which “in 1887, led to the formation of the American Smelting & Refining
Company (ASARCO) and the Guggenheim Exploration Company in 1899 and created the
American Smelting and Refining Co. (ASARCO).”

tobacco, Beer’s studies had been pursued first at Columbia in New York and later in London, where he learned how the British
socialists had financed their own welfare scheme, first with Indian opium, and
later with gold and diamonds from South Africa.
[6] The Federal Reserve Act’s “chief
architect was Paul Warburg of the German and Swiss banking house who moved to America only nine years
earlier. He brought with him all the experience of European central banking.

[8] The first of the three, Lyndon B. Johnson, entered
the White House as a result of John F. Kennedy’s assassination on November 22, 1963 and
was elected in 1964. The second was
George H.W. Bush, virtual president for much of Reagan’s eight years in the
Office, elected in 1988. The third is
George W. Bush, who has held the job since 2001. We don’t count Gerald Ford as being
“elected”; he was appointed to the vice presidency after Spiro Agnew resigned
and ascended to the Presidency following Richard Nixon’s disgrace. We also use the term “elected” loosely
because of disputes surrounding the elections of 2000 and 2004.
