Skull&Bones, Antony Sutton, and bankrolling the enemy

Antony Sutton, Skull&Bones, bankrolling the enemy

by Jon Rappoport

February 21, 2018

“When you see the same elites funding, encouraging, and enabling both sides in a major war, you’re on the road to understanding war from a higher perspective. These elites use war to create chaos, which they then ‘solve’ by imposing, in the aftermath, their kind of order—greater control over life, greater control over institutions of government. They call this operation ‘peace’. But it’s really the shrinking of freedom.” (The Underground, Jon Rappoport)

The prodigious author and researcher, Antony Sutton (1925-2002), wrote about hidden men behind momentous events.

I recently came across a 1999 interview with Sutton, conducted by Kris Millegan, researcher and head of TrineDay publishers.

Millegan wrote about Antony Sutton in 1999: “Antony C. Sutton, 74, has been persecuted but never prosecuted for his research and subsequent publishing of his findings. His mainstream career was shattered by his devotion towards uncovering the truth. In 1968, his Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development was published by The Hoover Institute at Stanford University. Sutton showed how the Soviet state’s technological and manufacturing base, which was then engaged in supplying the North Vietnamese the armaments and supplies to kill and wound American soldiers, was built by US firms and mostly paid for by the US taxpayers. From their largest steel and iron plant, to automobile manufacturing equipment, to precision ball-bearings and computers, basically the majority of the Soviet’s large industrial enterprises had been built with the United States help or technical assistance.”

“…Then, someone sent Antony a membership list of Skull and Bones and— ‘a picture jumped out’. And what a picture! A multigenerational foreign-based secret society with fingers in all kinds of pies and roots going back to ‘Illuminati’ influences in 1830’s Germany.”

Here are excerpts from the 1999 interview:

Millegan – Can you tell the story of how you learned of Skull & Bones? And how you felt?

Sutton – I knew nothing of S&B until I received a letter in the early 80’s asking if I would like to look at a genuine membership list. For no real reason I said yes. It was agreed to send the package by Federal Express and I could keep it for 24 hours, it had to be returned to the safe. It was a “black bag” job by a family member disgusted with their activities.

For the benefit of any S&B members who may read and doubt the statement; the membership list is in two volumes, black leather bound. Living members and deceased members in separate volumes. Very handsome books.

I spent all night in Kinko’s, Santa Cruz, copied the entire volumes and returned within the 24 hour period.

I have never released any copies or identified the source. I figured each copy could be coded and enable S&B to trace the leak.

How did I feel? I felt then (as I do now} that these “prominent” men are really immature juveniles at heart. The horrible reality is that these little boys have been dominant in their influence in world affairs. No wonder we have wars and violence. Skull and Bones is the symbol of terrorist violence, pirates, the SS Deaths Head Division in WW Two, labels on poison bottles and so on.

I kept the stack of xerox sheets for quite a while before I looked at them—when I did look—a picture jumped out, THIS was a significant part of the so called establishment. No wonder the world has problems!

Millegan: – What did your study of elites, economics, secrecy and technology do for your career?

Sutton – Depends what you mean by “career”?

By conventional standards I am an abject failure. I’ve been thrown out of two major Universities (UCLA and Stanford), denied tenure at Cal State Los Angeles. Every time I write something, it appears to offend someone in the Establishment and they throw me to the wolves.

On the other hand I’ve written 26 books, published a couple of newsletters and so on…even more important I’ve never compromised on the truth. And I don’t quit.

In material terms…hopeless failure. In terms of discovery…I think I’ve been successful. Judge a man by his enemies. William Buckley called me a “jerk”. Glenn Campbell, former Director of the Hoover Institution, Stanford called me “a problem”.

Millegan – Did any of Hitler’s economic policies threaten the interests of the international bankers, and if so did that play a role in his downfall?

Sutton – Hitler’s economic policies were OK’d by the bankers right through the war…ITT, Chase, Texaco and others were operating in Nazi-held France as late as 1945. In fact Chase in Paris was trying to get [acquire] Nazi accounts as late as 1944. When we got to Germany in May 1945, I remember seeing a (bombed-out) Woolworth store in Hamburg and thinking, “What’s Woolworth doing in Nazi Germany?” While we were bombed and shelled it was “business as usual” for Big Business. Try the Alien Custodian Papers.

…Union Banking is very important. I made a documentary for Dutch National TV some years ago. It got all the way through the production process to the Dutch TV Guide…at the last minute it was pulled and another film substituted. This documentary has proof of Bush financing Hitler—documents.

Maybe my Dutch friends will still get it viewed, but the [Skull&Bones] apparatus reaches into Holland.

Millegan – What is the story that was going to be told on Dutch TV? And what is the story of its censorship?

Sutton – Couple of years back, a Dutch TV production company from Amsterdam—under contract to Dutch National TV—came to US to make documentary on S&B [Skull and Bones]. They went to the Bones Temple and other places and interviewed people on East Coast. On West Coast, they interviewed myself and one other person.

I saw extracts from the original and it is a good professional job. They had documents linking Bush family and other S&B members to financing Hitler through Union Banking of New York and its Dutch correspondent bank. More than I have in [Sutton’s book] WALL STREET AND THE RISE OF HITLER.

The first version was later upgraded into a two part documentary and scheduled for showing this last March. It was pulled at last minute and has never been shown.

Millegan – What do you see for the future?

Suttton – Chaos, confusion and ultimately a battle between the individual and the State.

The individual is the stronger; and will win. The state is a fiction sanctified by Hegel and his followers to CONTROL the individual.

Sooner or later people will wake up. First we have to dump the trap of right and left, this is a Hegelian trap to divide and control. The battle is not between right and left; it is between us and them…

—end of interview excerpt—

Here is a telling Antony Sutton quote from his book, The Best Enemy Money Can Buy (1986):

“By using data of Russian origin it is possible to make an accurate analysis of the origins of this equipment. It was found that all the main diesel and steam-turbine propulsion systems of the ninety-six Soviet ships on the Haiphong supply run [to the North Vietnamese] that could be identified (i.e., eighty-four out of the ninety-six) originated in design or construction outside the USSR. We can conclude, therefore, that if the [US] State and Commerce Departments, in the 1950s and 1960s, had consistently enforced the legislation passed by Congress in 1949, the Soviets would not have had the ability to supply the Vietnamese War – and 50,000 more Americans and countless Vietnamese would be alive today.”

“Who were the government officials responsible for this transfer of known military technology? The concept originally came from National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger, who reportedly sold President Nixon on the idea that giving military technology to the Soviets would temper their global territorial ambitions. How Henry arrived at this gigantic non sequitur is not known. Sufficient to state that he aroused considerable concern over his motivations. Not least that Henry had been a paid family employee of the Rockefellers since 1958 and has served as International Advisory Committee Chairman of the Chase Manhattan Bank, a Rockefeller concern.”

If you think such traitorous actions could never have occurred, I point you to another researcher, Charles Higham, and his 1983 classic, Trading with the Enemy.

Higham focuses on World War 2. The men behind the curtain Higham exposed are in the same basic group that Antony Sutton exposed.

Higham, Trading with the Enemy:

“What would have happened if millions of American and British people, struggling with coupons and lines at the gas stations, had learned that in 1942 Standard Oil of New Jersey [part of the Rockefeller empire] managers shipped the enemy’s [Germany’s] fuel through neutral Switzerland and that the enemy was shipping Allied fuel? Suppose the public had discovered that the Chase Bank in Nazi-occupied Paris after Pearl Harbor was doing millions of dollars’ worth of business with the enemy with the full knowledge of the head office in Manhattan [the Rockefeller family among others?] Or that Ford trucks were being built for the German occupation troops in France with authorization from Dearborn, Michigan? Or that Colonel Sosthenes Behn, the head of the international American telephone conglomerate ITT, flew from New York to Madrid to Berne during the war to help improve Hitler’s communications systems and improve the robot bombs that devastated London? Or that ITT built the FockeWulfs that dropped bombs on British and American troops? Or that crucial ball bearings were shipped to Nazi-associated customers in Latin America with the collusion of the vice-chairman of the U.S. War Production Board in partnership with Goering’s cousin in Philadelphia when American forces were desperately short of them? Or that such arrangements were known about in Washington and either sanctioned or deliberately ignored?”

Getting the picture?

War, what is it good for? With the same elites backing both sides, it’s good for business. It’s good for creating chaos and destruction. It’s good for launching new global organizations, in the aftermath; organizations that exert a level of control and reach that didn’t exist before. It’s good for launching organizations like the United Nations and the European Union and the World Trade Organization—dedicated to Globalism, which in turn is dedicated to planned civilization, in which the individual is demeaned and the group is All.

Freedom is demeaned; and dominance by the few over the many is hailed as peace in our time.

    Such important information. I share many of your posts, hoping to wake up someone, anyone. Thanks for your priceless work.

    I’ve seen articles about Wall Street’s support of Hitler and have read Sutton’s Skull and Bones book. I don’t recall ever seeing anything about Hitler’s fall – if and why he fell out of favor with Wall Street.

    • Francis says:

      I believe he didn’t. Seems he was brought to USA , via the Vatican,and incorporated into the Govt military establishment. Same for all of his officers. ???

      • CPP says:

        I just finished watching the last season of the show “Hunting Hitler”. The show’s investigators concluded it to be most likely that Hitler did escape Germany after the war, probably via Norway (which Nazis still controlled and which was bombed by the Allies after the official end of the war) and on to Argentina by way of float planes and U-Boats. There was also a southern escape route via Italy and Spain investigated, through which other upper-level Nazis fled with the help of new identity papers provided by the Vatican in conjunction with the Swiss Red Cross. The investigators found that Hitler was probably in Argentina until 1955, when Peron was ousted and a less Nazi-friendly government came to power. From there, he likely went to Paraguay, where there is strong evidence Dr. Mengele was running the Nazi networks. Paraguay had a Nazi-friendly dictator at the time, Stroessner, who ruled from 1954 until 1989.

        They also found that Nazis who escaped Europe after WWII were operating on a major scale in Chile all the way up to and beyond the coup of September 11, 1973 that brought Pinochet to power. These Nazis had set up hundreds of what were essentially concentration camps in Chile and controlled virtual states within the state prior to and while Allende was in power. They were involved directly in the coup (and probably were the primary force behind it internally). Dissidents were rounded up and brought to their prison camps when the coup occurred, enabling Pinochet to take and maintain power. These camps had both Nazi and Chilean flags on display, per the testimony of a man the investigators interviewed who had been taken to one as a prisoner and tortured. They were also shown microfilm of Hitler’s last will and testament that was housed in Chile. And Martin Bormann was apparently down there as well.

        Of course, in the show they mentioned nothing about who supported that coup from the outside, namely Kissinger and the CIA (note that the show’s lead investigator was Bob Baer, a former CIA case officer and a CNN intel analyst). But knowing this, we can see that they were actually working in tandem with a major Nazi sub-state that had long since infiltrated Chile. It would be interesting to know what the thousands of Nazis brought into the US gov. via Paperclip had to do with this later cooperation.

    Jon. The person that gave Mr. Sutton the CFR registry books was Charlotte Iserbyt. She has given me permission to divulge her name. Her son Sam has a website where she has scanned and posted many documents (the CFR registry is there too) she collected while working for Ronald Reagan and other endeavors. The website is: americandeception.com

    Why am I not surprised? Outraged, blood boiling, teeth gnashing – Yup. But that’s just a gut reaction.
    It’s nothing new, just enraging to see it in print. Yet STILL we have a +/- 90% authoritarian populace
    convinced of this sewer’s decency, yet can’t tell you what 2 nations border this it. GRRR, oops, there it goes again, sorry.

    It can’t be called a “war,” when both “sides” are organized, … instigated, … financed, … trained, … supplied, and thus controlled by the same “unseen” entity. This outside or other entity is never named in the psychodrama BS we are fed as “history.”

    Thus, what we call “wars” are in fact not real wars. More properly they should be called “operations.” Even more specifically, they are “regime change operations.”

    A regime change operation starts with massive distribution of herion. The well advertised corruption is designed to break down political trust in local governance and local police forces. With credibiltiy in local government broken down, an escalating form of terrorism is used to foment total political dissociation, mass migrations and so-called “civil wars” between local factions. Escalating terrorism is applied specifically at pressure points or weak points, i.e. along dividing fault lines and at wedge issues, in the local culture. Small conflicts grow into regional civil war, whereupon eventually the “eagle” swoops in and establishes a new regional economic and political (i.e. fascist) dictatorship as a “more perfect solution.”

    The hidden entity at the center of it all is …. the ancient and venerable, thousand-years-old, heroin mafia (now, the global heroin and cocaine mafia), otherwise known as the “Pentagon.” The five-fingered hooligans of the Pentagon are the High Priests of a global war machine, fomenting torments and regime changes globally, controlled by the Joint Chiefs and the Vice President, all of whom, although operating by illlusion of public accountability, are in fact appointed to power, and exercise power, in absolute secrecy.

    Most wars, that we think were wars, actually never happened … as actual wars.

    For example the American “civil war” never happened. Lots of dead people, yes. But the establishment of the Lincoln administration, as a prototype for future fascist dictatorships, is actually a classic example of a Pentagon regime change operation. Lincoln’s Pentagon called itself “the Union.” It was nothing but a political smokescreen for US Army Special Forces, which was (and still is) pack mule for the global heroin mafia. In this so-called “war,” both sides (North and South) were instigated, financed and supplied, with armaments and opium, by the same entity, calling itiself “The Union,” which remained outside the fray, behind the curtains as it were, while the two “sides” killed each other off in open fields. (The dream of “a more perfect union” is ultimately the essential philosophical meme of fascism — since my dream of a more prefect union is obviously more perfect than yours, why, too bad for you, but now I have no choince but to do you in, all in the pursuit of perfection, rather than life, liberty and happiness which comes through republican dialog.) Lincoln was a known opium addict, BTW. At the end of his “war” there were 600,000 dead, and obviously very drugged white people; and voila! there were 400,000 new opium addicts (with opium paid for by US debts, and then supplied gratis to survivors, by the medical branch of the US Army, now masquerading as the Veterans Administration, which today still trafficks in SSRIs and more pernicious opium substitutes). Most importantly, by the end of the “war,” both sides LOST! Go figure! Both Northern States and Southern States lost their political soverignty, and became economic colonies, called federal districts, of … none other than “the Union” incorporated in the District of Columbia. As to slavery, before the war, there were more “blacks” in the North, who owned slaves, than there were slave owners in total in the South. Admittedly, in the South if you were rich, you were ungodly rich, and owned lots and lots of slaves, while everyone else, called peons, lived in poverty. According to letters of the Committees of Correspondence under the 1776 Articles of Confederation, it was the southern states who wanted to end slavery. It was “the Union” that was constantly pushing institutional slavery and institutional heroin.

    In exact parallel to the Lincoln administration as an example of a regime change operation, we have the installation, by the Pentagon, of Mao Tse-dung, a cannabalistic pedophile, a Skull and Bonesman, as Pentagon supplied and controlled dictator of a fascist dictatorship, called Communist China.

    The Pentagon, according to its own documents (for example US Army Special Operations Research Office, Insurgency and Revolutionary Warfare [training manual], Case Study Vietham] the Pentagon was running both sides of the so-called Vietnam War. The Vietnam war was actually an operation, designed as a smokescreen, so that the Pentagon could supply Mao with the gold, medicines, explosive and intelligence that he needed to run his regime change operation, destroying the existing sovereign and natural canton governments, and substituting a new “more perferct union,” as a fascist dictatorship run the communist party elites.

    Since before Lincoln’s regime change operation (which used corruption, civil breakdown and “war” as a smokescreen to setup his fascist dictatorship, called “The Union,” which today in the US operates a prision-slavery industrial complex under cover of a secondary “due process” clause appearing in the 13th amendment, and which today foments regime change operations worldwide (establishing new regional dictatorships), and which trafficks in heroin worldwide (most especially in Europe and North America), the Pentagon has been a Bolshevik fifth-column within the US permanent standing armies.

    Although it took its name from the Russian revolution, Bolshevism began with the regime change operation known as the American civil war and the establishment of the Lincoln administration as political smokescreen for :”the [sacred, and therefore more perfect] Union,”.Bolshevism is a form of satanism, that masquerades as Judism. But it is not a trivial form of satanism, which might for example drink the blood and eat the organs and cooked flesh of a few kidnapped children, The Bolsheviks, i.e. the military-industrial political elites, of the Lincoln administration, of the Russian revolution, of WW-I & II, of the creation of China as a regional fascist dictatorship appointed to become global hegemon of the 21st century, known as “Pentagon brass,” get their personal vigorish by political betrayals, and by spilling the blood of the innocents on massive scales.
