York are the people who have controlled our political and economic 

destinies since 1914. They are the Rothschilds, of Europe, Lazard Freres 

(Eugene Meyer), Kuhn Loeb Company, Warburg Company, Lehman 

Brothers,  

34 

Goldman Sachs, the Rockefeller family, and the J.P. Morgan interests. 

These interests have merged and consolidated in recent years, so that 

the control is much more concentrated. National Bank of Commerce is 

now Morgan Guaranty Trust Company. Lehman Brothers has merged 

with Kuhn, Loeb Company, First National Bank has merged with the 

National City Bank, and in the other eleven Federal Reserve Districts, 

these same shareholders indirectly own or control shares in those 

banks, with the other shares owned by the leading families in those 

areas who own or control the principal industries in these regions.* The 

"local" families set up regional councils, on orders from New York, of 

such groups as the Council on Foreign Relations, The Trilateral 

Commission, and other instruments of control devised by their masters. 

They finance and control political developments in their area, name 

candidates, and are seldom successfully opposed in their plans.

With the setting up of the twelve "financial districts" through the Federal 

Reserve Banks, the traditional division of the United States into the forty-

eight states was overthrown, and we entered the era of "regionalism", 

or twelve regions which had no relation to the traditional state 

boundaries.

These developments following the passing of the Federal Reserve Act 

proved every one of the allegations Thomas Jefferson had made 

against a central bank in 1791: that the subscribers to the Federal
