I bet at least some of the papaers back then had open talk about what was going on, not like today, when they work all together.

[jadem]

Awesome.. nice find.

[Matt Hatter]

And the people today believe that the reason the depression happened was because the Government did nothing! So now we need to try something different!

Sorry but this is the exact same senario unfolding.

[Parentsfortruth]

History repeats.

That is really something how it totally matches exactly with what they're doing now.

[Freeski]

Holy shit.

[David Rothscum]

Interesting.
It's a shame it blames a bunch of infighting communists set up by the same private banks that have looted the whole planet for decades and are now gobbling up the US though. Blaming the communists is what got the American public to accept people's rights being violated in the first place:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Red_Scare#Reactions
The same group of people who set up the communists could now easily deal with those unpatriotic unconstitutional striking laborers who were secret communists that wanted to destroy America.

"David... stop covering up for the communists !!!"

[voodo0]

wow, that's crazy

Actually, that's what they would like you to believe. Their cover was broken, and it took a long time to recover their steps. The Rockefellers -are- communists, and -were- communists, as evidenced by the destroyed documents of the House Committee on Un-American affairs. Their cover was not completely exposed in the 1980's, but it still caused their agenda to be pushed back another 20-30 years. You had the collapse of the Berlin Wall and "communism" and we were expected to believe that it was all over. Nope. They're still around, and they are near their goal that they've had a longterm plan for, for many, many years.

Indeed, that's why the Rockefellers slaughter striking workers. Very communist of them. Oh yeah and this is also why they build up Henry Kissinger who overthrew the democratically elected Salvador Allende who wanted to befriend the Soviet Union. Because they're communists. And this is why we created the Taliban who destroyed the Soviet Union, because the Rockefellers are communists. It all makes sense now.

Just so you know... Henry Kissinger is an agent of the KGB, if that helps clarify.

Incidentally, they've known he was a KGB agent since 1961.

Oh come on, this guy makes Sorcha Faal seem like a credible source. He blames everything on the commies, including the death of Marilyn Monroe. This guy was wrong on so many things I see no reason to take him on his word when it comes to such a revelation as this. Take a look at this:
http://www.marilynmonroe.ca/camera/books/89.html
The Red scare was the early version of the terrorism scare we have now. Nothing really changed, we went from "Wake up America, the commies are coming to take our guns!" to "Wake up America, Al Qaeda is plotting to strike again!".

One of the World Net Daily good ol' boys. He conveniently leaves out all of Kissinger's actions in South America where he helped replace democratically elected governments that were just a bit to far to the left with right wing dictatorships. Don't you recognize the disinformation? Claim that a foreign enemy has infiltrated your country and you can begin your witchhunts. Say it's those dirty commies and you can even get the good ol' boys to push for it. It's genious. It's not true however.

People like Soros (who's a member of the CFR) use their money to overthrow left wing regimes so they can take over the country and use them against Russia. People don't seem to understand this, they seem to think the elite are trying to destroy everything they believe in. It's not about destroying Christianity, they fund Christian dictators. It's not about spreading communism either, they overthrow communist and socialist regimes. It's not about destroying your country either, they control your country, so why destroy it while you still have enemies left that you need to get rid of? It's about power.

They spend the whole Cold war looking for ways to destroy the Soviet Union so the US could become the only World power, since they control the US this would give them power over most of the planet. This is why they were so enthausiastic when the Soviet Union collapsed. And this is why Brzezinski is so disappointed with Bush and Clinton, they didn't use the end of communism to build a New World Order. Now the Russians and China are growing in power again, and they installed Obama to deal with them.

Pat Buchanan must be disinfo too because he writes occassional for WND.

Gimmie a break. I have a full website of stuff that Kissinger has been involved in. That specific article had nothing to do with the South American stuff. I don't think it was the authors intention to indict Kissinger on everything in that article. I have plenty more, and it's not disinfo.

uuuuggggghhhhh

Henry Kissinger is a Knight's Commander to the British Crown.

He is used to continue unending wars and genocides, it is his specialy.

He is also used to act as controlled opposition to "official doctrines" (9/11, war in iraq, war in vietnam, cambodia, laos)

He is also used to swindle both the communist and capitalist people into thinking that he is going to give them some "special glory" by being seen in their countries.

He also is an accused peadaphile, but that is another matter entirely.

And for the record, WMD does sometimes publish odd "right wing" propaganda.  But I still find the overall sight not too shabby.

So I do not feel he is so much a communist, but an agent for the queen who helps prop up totalitarian regimes that plummet countries into enough debt to enslave the populous.

The thing I dislike about WND is that it appeals to people who are "halfway there", and keeps them "halfway there" for all eternity, the same way Glenn Beck does. When WND writes an article about soy being bad for you, do they focus on what it does to your brain and how it sterilizes men, and try to answer the question of why this stuff was introduced into our diet? No, they'll insinuate that "soy makes boys gay" instead. When it comes to 9/11, they'll write about the US funding the Taliban in 2001 ("See, foreign aid is unpatriotic!") or repealing some policy that allowed pilots to carry guns("See, carrying guns is patriotic!" (and no, I'm not a gun grabber)), but not about the war plans being ready before the attacks or anything like that. On top of that they have a habit of spreading ridiculous stuff that keeps the real right and the real left from coming together on one of the few points they could agree on (just look at Kucinich and Paul):
http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=49221
This is why I don't take these folks seriously.

[Parentsfortruth]

Oh I completely hear you about WND. I was saying just because that happened to write that article posts for WMD, doesn't make his information bad. Perhaps incomplete, but even Alex doesn't have the entire story. I'm not saying I do either, but I do think that too little attention is paid to a crucial area, communism. It didn't go away, it just got more quiet, and a lot of these bankers and "elites" think they're going to be in on what will happen, but the communists have every intention of exterminating them also.

Oh how nice, a Propaganda piece from the American Liberty League stickied on the board.

Yes, "Centralized Power" is what FDR wanted, as if he bailed out the banking system..............no......... actually he put the system into bankruptcy.

And this cartoon is a direct result of JP Morgan, Rockefeller, Mellon and DuPont funded American Liberty League Propaganda, of course of the Chicago Tribune.

In addition, FDR DIDN'T SPEND ANYTHING, he LENT MONEY - it's called Federal Credit - not Federal Spending.

The American Liberty League
By Richard Sanders, Editor, Press for Conversion!

Lurking in the background behind the plot to oust FDR was the American Liberty League, a pro-business think-tank and ultra-right wing lobby group. Its treasurer was Jerry MacGuire’s boss, Grayson Murphy, a leading J.P. Morgan broker. One of its top donors was Robert Clark, who also tried to recruit General Smedley Butler into the conspiracy to oust President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The origins of the League were very closely tied to an earlier organization of multi-millionaires, motivated entirely by greed and self-interest, that concerned itself with repealing the alcohol prohibition laws, The Association Against the Prohibition Amendment.

General Butler testified to the MacCormack-Dickstein Committee that when he asked whether anything was “stirring” with regards to Jerry MacGuire’s wealthy backers’ plans for a “superorganization” to coordinate the coup against FDR, MacGuire predicted the American Liberty League’s emergence, saying: “Yes, you watch; in two or three weeks you will see it come out in the paper. There will be big fellows in it. This is to be the background of it.”

Jules Archer, in The Plot to Seize the White House (1976), said the “link between the conspiracy and the powerful interests…in the background” was “the most significant” part of Butler’s testimony. However, MacGuire’s foreknowledge of the League and its links to the fascist plot were deleted from the Committee’s published report.

Archer notes that Butler was “stunned” and “genuinely alarmed” upon reading of the League’s formation:

"For the first time it dawned upon him that if the American Liberty League was the ‘superorganization’ behind the plot, [as] it seemed to be, the country’s freedom was in genuine peril. Such money and power as the men behind the League possessed could easily mobilize a thinly-disguised Fascist army from the ranks of jobless, embittered veterans and do what Mussolini had done in Italy with the financial support of the Italian plutocracy.... MacGuire had outlined...the conspirators’ plans for a putsch [coup], indicating it would easily succeed...because …the American Liberty League, was behind it with money and arms.... MacGuire revealed that the people behind him... could... raise $300 million for the putsch."

On January 23, 1936, Senator Schwellenbach denounced all the “rascals and crooks who control the American Liberty League.” Senator Robert La Follette, Jr., said it cannot “be expected to defend the liberty of the masses of the American people. It speaks for the vested interests.”

The League, funded by Wall Street’s leading fascists, received $500,000 during its first year alone. So much of this money came from the du Ponts that U.S. Postmaster General, Jim Farley, called it the “American Cellophane League” because, he said, it was a du Pont product that you could see right through. The du Ponts – through their control of the Remington Arms Co. – were also prepared to provide weapons for the Croix de feu-like veterans’ organization that the conspirators wanted Butler to lead as part of their plan to overthrow the government.

With a staff of 50 in their 31-room, New York City headquarters, the League was FDR’s most formidable foe. It launched chapters at 26 colleges and universities and spawned 15 front groups across the country to spread anti-labour, anti-communist and anti-Semitic hatred. The League distributed 50 million copies of extremely right-wing, often blatantly fascistic, pamphlets. It bankrolled a speakers’ bureau, hosted nation-wide radio shows and launched lawsuits targeting the New Deal’s 1935 Wagner Act because it allowed collective bargaining.

Created in August 1934, this association of wealthiest corporate leaders said its goals were “to combat radicalism, to teach...respect for the rights of persons and property, and generally to foster free private enterprise.” It attacked government funding for poverty relief and social services and opposed all “burdensome taxes imposed upon industry for unemployment insurance and old age pension.”

League news releases were often used verbatim by corporate media that shared the League’s anti-democratic values. Between Aug. 1934 and Nov. 1936, the League got 35 favourable, front-page stories in the New York Times. An exception to the anti-FDR media were the Scripps-Howard papers. In Jan. 1936, they ran a story headlined “Liberty League Controlled by Owners of $37,000,000,000.” It exposed that League backers directed U.S. Steel, General Motors, Standard Oil, Chase National Bank, Goodyear Tire and the Mutual Life Insurance Co.

FDR on the League
On Jan. 3, 1936, in an unprecedented joint session of Congress, when President Roosevelt announced a ban on military exports to fascist Italy, he blasted the American Liberty League:

"They steal the livery of great national ideals to serve discredited special interests…. This minority in business and industry... engage in vast propaganda to spread fear and discord among the people. They would gang up against the people’s liberties…. They seek the restoration of their selfish power.….
Our resplendent economic aristocracy does not want to return to that individualism of which they prate, even though the advantages under that system went to the ruthless and the strong. They realize that in 34 months we have built up new instruments of public power. In the hands of a people’s government this power is wholesome and proper. But in the hands of political puppets of an economic aristocracy, such power would provide shackles for the liberties of the people. Give them their way and they will take the course of every aristocracy of the past – power for themselves, enslavement for the public."

So, who else funded the Liberty League? The guy that orchestrated the entire Great Depression as Treasury Secretary for 13 years, whom FDR Prosecuted and confiscated his art collection for American Museums when he took office:

Andrew W. Mellon (1855-1937)

By Richard Sanders, Editor, Press for Conversion!

Mellon is known to have donated at least $1,000 to the American Liberty League.

Most prominent among the Mellon family supporters of the American Liberty League was Andrew Mellon. Perhaps only the son of a banker, like Andrew, could start a successful lumber business at age 17. He then work-ed in his father’s bank (T. Mellon & Sons) and started building his fortune in oil, steel, shipbuilding and construction. By 1914, he was one of America’s richest men. He was a trustee of the Carnegie Institute, 1924-1937, a long-time activist in the Republican party and one of its top donors.

Mellon was not fondly admired, except by the extremely rich, for his role as U.S. Secretary of the Treasury under Presidents Harding, Coolidge and Hoover (1921-1923, 1923-1929, 1929-1932). His main accomplishments were reducing taxes for the rich and cutting government spending to social programs. Sound familiar? In 1921, the Revenue Act saved corporate stockholders about $1.5 billion by eliminating the excess profits tax. As a result, U.S. Steel got $27 million and the Mellon Bank got $91,472. The biggest beneficiary was John D. Rockefeller, who received $457,000. Mellon himself got the second biggest rebate, $404,000. In 1923, the “Mellon Plan” proposed that taxes paid by the country’s eltie should be reduced from 50% to 25%, while taxes paid by those with the lowest incomes would be reduced from 4% to 3%. If passed, this would have cut his own taxes by $800,000. By 1926, Mellon finally succeeded in slashing the elite’s taxes and, in 1928, he got a law to cut corporate taxes even more. At that time, the top 10% received 50% of the country’s total income, while the top 1% received 24%. Under Mellon, corporations got tax rebates of $6 billion, and those with incomes over $300,000 had taxes reduced by 60%. This led to increased stock market speculation and contributed to the 1929 crash. Mellon also gave secret tax cuts to huge corporations that were owned by him, his family and friends. Congress eventually demanded his impeachment, he resigned in 1932, became Hoover’s Ambassador to the Court of St. James, i.e. Britain, and retired from politics the next year.

Mellon’s wealth was tied up in the Mellon National Bank (one of America’s largest), Carborundum (now Uni-frax, a leading industrial insulation producer), Koppers (a top global producer of naphthalene and coal tar), Gulf Oil and the Aluminum Corp. of America (ALCOA). ALCOA’s trade with the Nazis, through a cartel with I.G. Farben, sabotaged U.S. military access to aluminum. In 1943, anti-fascist journalist, George Seldes, said ALCOA was “largely responsible for the fact America did not have the aluminum with which to build airplanes before and after Pearl Harbor, while Germany had an unlimited supply” (Facts and Fascism, 1943). In 1941, Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes had warned: “If America loses the war it can thank the Aluminum Corporation of America.”

During WWII, Andrew’s son, Paul Mellon, was station chief for the Office of Strategic Services in London and liaison to British intelligence. In Acid Dreams, M.A. Lee and B. Schlain note that “After the war, certain influential members of the Mellon family maintained close ties with the CIA. The Mellon family foundations have been used repeatedly as conduits for Agency funds.”

Another Mellon family member with CIA connections was Billy Mellon-Hitchock. Known as “the Daddy Warbucks of the Counterculture,” he was Timothy Leary’s “Godfather.” In the early 1960s, Mellon-Hitchcock financed the mass-production and distribution of LSD, which was then undergoing testing through the CIA’s MK-Ultra program. Mellon-Hitchcock’s funding was done through the Castle Bank of the Bahamas, an institution founded by Paul Helliwell, paymaster for the CIA’s failed Bay of Pigs invasion and boss of Watergate burglar E. Howard Hunt.

The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s market value in 2003, was $3.6 billion (down from its peak of $5 billion in 2000). It disburses about $200 million per year.

Don't know if anybody else noticed or mentioned, but its from the chicago tribune.

Obamas from Chicago, just a coincidence though I'm sure, but an interesting one.

The reality of the reason why the Chicago Tribune was printing American Liberty League propaganda was because Chicago was run by the Rockefeller funded branch of the "Free Market" school - from where this propaganda piece came via American Liberty League funding...

In addition, pamphlets with cartoons such as these were scattered all over the United States by the Morgan/Rockefeller run (ALL) to derail any attempt FDR made to revive the Nations industrial base and put their banks into bankruptcy.

They were quite upset with FDR intervening in their involvent theivery banks.

You gotta love how the supposed communist plan of action involves "blaming the capitalists", when the people funding the cartoons are the biggest capitalists robber barons themselves.
