The rigged game

In 1911 President William Howard Taft was in the White House. For generations financiers had sought to bring the prospering United States under their command by instituting a central bank. Their latest effort had been the easily recognisable and widely opposed plan named after Senator Nelson Aldrich. Taft had objected to the Aldrich plan, “not because it would create a central bank...but because it would not offer enough government control. He recognized that (it) would place the bankers into the driver's seat with only nominal participation by the government.”

As a result the bankers plotted to use the election of 1912 to remove the popular Taft from office and to replace him with the dry Harvard scholar, Democrat Woodrow Wilson. They enlisted Taft's predecessor and fellow Republican, former President Teddy Roosevelt. Agents of JP Morgan somehow persuaded Roosevelt to make an ultimately unsuccessful bid for the Republican nomination, and then to stand in opposition to Taft, as a candidate for what was nicknamed the 'Bull Moose,' Progressive Party.

The bankers, “did not expect Roosevelt to win, but, as a former Republican President, they knew he would split the Party and, by pulling away votes from Taft, put Wilson into the White House.”

Although the banking cartel could not withdraw their funding from Taft without raising suspicions, agents of Rothschild front man JP Morgan funded both of Taft’s opponents, Roosevelt and Wilson. From Kuhn, Loeb & Company, Felix Warburg funded the Republican president, “but his brother, Paul Warburg and Jacob Schiff were backing Wilson, while yet another partner, Otto Kahn, supported Roosevelt... Other prominent Republicans who contributed to the Democratic campaign that year were Bernard Baruch, Henry Morgenthau, and Thomas Fortune Ryan.”

To Woodrow Wilson,“Cleveland Dodge of Rockefeller's National City Bank personally contributed $51,300—more than one-fourth the total raised from all other sources.”

The game was rigged and the bankers could not lose. They held financial influence over every candidate. They controlled public messaging by, “buying, selling, creating, and suppressing newspapers in consonance with J.P. Morgan's shifting needs.”

During the campaign Taft was portrayed as the bankers' man that he was, but Roosevelt and Wilson toured the country making speeches in which they gave the impression of opposing their financiers.

Wilson's Democrat party had been founded to oppose the intentions of the bankers, and ran on the position of opposing, “the so-called Aldrich Bill or the establishment of a central bank; and ... what is known as the money trust."

A similar charade went on,

“In the sparring between Roosevelt and Morgan (in which) there was always a certain amount of shadow play, a pretense of greater animosity than actually existed.... Roosevelt and Morgan were secret blood brothers.”

The plan worked to perfection. Wilson won the Presidency by gaining 42% of the popular vote with Roosevelt splitting with Taft most of the 58% who voted against Wilson.

In the modern era, like President Taft, Hilary Clinton was seen as the establishment's preferred choice when she lost the 2016 election to Donald Trump. In the manner of Wilson and Roosevelt, Trump attacked the established order and portrayed himself as an opponent of powerful interests. When in office his actions suggested otherwise. He continued the 9/11 wars and pushed through long-prepared plans to inject the populace, whilst presiding over what was described as 'one of the greatest wealth transfers in history.' As with Wilson, his voters were hoodwinked into thinking that he defended their interests.

In 2024, in the manner of Roosevelt in 1912, Robert F Kennedy jr. was introduced as an alternative Presidential candidate, but this time splitting Democrat support. As Roosevelt was said to have won the election for Wilson by default, Kennedy openly endeavoured to win it for Trump by publicly endorsing the former President and abandoning his own campaign.

This tactic has been used elsewhere. Alex Kriel observed how the introduction of the Reform Party influenced the British general election of 2024, splitting the Conservative vote. Though portrayed as being in opposition to a prevailing “out of touch political class,” the Reform Party was led by lockdown supporter Nigel Farage, and vaccine and mandate advocate Richard Tice. The publicity Reform was granted by the media and the concerns it purported to represent meant that the party received votes that may otherwise have been cast in favour of independent voices that emerged from the lockdown era.

Back in the US in 1912, once the pliable and politically inexperienced Wilson was in office the bankers reprised their plan for a central bank, but this time with more subtlety. The Aldrich plan was rehashed and presented as an attack on the 'money trust.' This attack was so convincing that Paul Warburg had to privately reassure the banking cartel by publishing, “a side-by-side comparison” to show that, “not only were the two bills in agreement on all essential provisions, but they even contained entire sections that were identical in their wording."

In his autobiography, Woodrow Wilson's Treasury Secretary William McAdoo recalled:

“Bankers fought the Federal Reserve legislation—and every provision of the Federal Reserve Act—with the tireless energy of men fighting a forest fire.” He later, “perceived gradually, through all the haze and smoke of controversy, that the banking world was not really as opposed to the bill as it pretended to be.”

Years later one of the bill’s authors Frank A. Vanderlip revealed,

"Although the Aldrich Federal Reserve Plan was defeated when it bore the name Aldrich, nevertheless its essential points were all contained in the plan that finally was adopted."

This plan was brought into law as the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, a surrender of financial control of the United States to the money trust that was an effective loss of national sovereignty. It precipitated more than a century of wars that inflicted killing and destruction on a previously unimaginable scale. The ongoing devaluation of the currency has caused a continuous and enormous wealth transfer as well as astronomical public debt. Governments are no longer of the people, who unknowingly live in bondage.

As McAdoo warned, “there is a serious danger of this country becoming a pluto-democracy; that is, a sham republic with the real government in the hands of a small clique of enormously wealthy men, who speak through their money, and whose influence, even today, radiates to every corner of the United States.”

Since that time Presidents have overseen the sinking of the Lusitania, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Bay of Tonkin incident, the attack on the USS Liberty, the assassinations of JFK and RFK, the Kuwaiti babies in incubators, the 9/11 and anthrax attacks, the Weapons of Mass Destruction, and the lockdown and vaccine, lies.

Given the increased power that the banking cartel has acquired from the corruption of democracy in 1912, do we think that our politicians are more reliable now than they were then?
