The following persons/entities purchased the United States government bank in 1913:

1913 - "The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 provided that the names of the owner banks be kept secret.

"Eustace Mullins in his impeccably researched book SECRETS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE says; "Because the Federal Reserve Bank of New York sets the daily supply and price of currency throughout America, the owners of that bank are the real directors of the entire system. 

These shareholders have controlled our political and economic destiny since 1913."

1914 – “In the early days of the war England had practically abdicated, for the time being, the position of international banker which she had held for a hundred years.” England “had invested over a billion dollars in New securities, domestic and foreign. Lombard Street had largely financed the building of American railroads, had contributed greatly To the financing of American enterprises of all Kinds, had been a large purchaser of government And municipal bonds, not only in the United States, But in South American countries.” (pages 161-162) “Wall Street had played little part in financing foreign governments, its activities in this direction being limited almost to lending Great Britain $200,000,000 at the time of the South African War and Japan $50,000,000 at the time of the Russian War.” (page 163) The British purchased the Anglo-Persian Oil Company.” (Of Many Times and Cultures –page 169) 1915 – The “British Government vetoed all operations of this kind and informed the bankers that their resources must be used exclusively for war purposes.” (page 162) “Wall Street bought the bond issues of Paris, Bordeaux, and Lyons, and even provided funds for International trade.” (page 162) “A distinguished Anglo-French mission arrived in New York for the purpose of floating an American Loan….” The amount approved was for half the Request or $500,000,000. (page 164) “the House of Morgan has always maintained close and confidential relations with the British Government and the British public.” (pages 164-165) “Wall Street began to deal in shells, cannon, submarines, blankets, clothing, shoes, canned meats, wheat, and thousands of other articles needed for the prosecution of a great war.” (page 165) 1916 - “ The United States produced 43,000,000 tons of steel, while Great Britain, which normally ranks next to this country in steel manufacturer, produced 9,000,000 tons….” (page 156) “The gold supply of Europe began to find its way into coffers of Wall Street, a movement that was coninuous until 1917, when of the approximately $8,500,000,000 outstanding, nearly $3,000,000,000 was ultimately deposited in American safety vaults.” (page 161) “we had ceased to be a debtor nation and now had Europe deeply in our debt. We had lent foreign Governments, bankers, and merchants not far from $2,000,000,000; yet so plentiful was money in New York that the investment bankers complained because they could not find enough securities to supply their customers. (page 170) 1917- “Congress declared war on April 6, 1917.” (page 168) “The mere fact that the United States, besides spending enormous sums on its own military preparations, was able to lend nearly $10,000,000,000 to European Governments in little less than two years, gives some idea of the resources which this country brought to bear in the European conflict. (page 175) Some people charged that it was “Wall Street’s War”.

The "glue" that adheres all of us together are genealogies.  We are based on a 2,650 - 3,000 year history of genealogies as compared to an aggressive, violent, ciminal based United States with a 200+ year history with the beginnings from 13 penal colonies with the throwaways and castouts of the English society.

 

Our Hawaiian Kingdom/Kingdom of Hawaii/Hawaiian archipelago/He Mokupuni Pae Aina o Hawaii/Ko Hawaii Pae Aina has been the target of many criminal deviants over time and the identity theft of our ancestors, along with the criminal dethroning of our Queen, criminally assuming assets, resources, occupation of our lands became the moves by the U.S. whose representative asked for loans and our House of Nobles said "no" to.

 

Now that many of our people are moving onto their ancestral lands, or pressing on with their beliefs, because most have oral histories of the wrongs, it is best (and wise) to gear up with information to better represent yourselves.

 

Have the following on hand, keep copies for yourselves and family members.  If you can, also pass the important information on to those who haven't a clue on what to do.....etc.

 

1.  Genealogy research of your own families.

 

2. Know that if you're a member of the Royal family(ies) - anyone descending from the King - Kamehameha then that means that you should be aware that governments, and the Masons/Freemasons were set in place to break apart Monarchy governments worldwide.

5.  Know that Queen Liliuokalani's signature was worthless. * * * "It is not the official signature.  There was no such person recognized as Liliuokalani Dominis, and there is no such person to this day."

 

6.  Know that the U.S. President Benjamin Harrison was in place during the period, he was a former American Civil War general who directed that there should be a plebiscite to 'give the appearance that the dethronement was the will of the people'.

 

7.  Know that the U.S. President Benjamin Harrison used his executive order to stop the passage of a bill approved by both House and Senate in prosecuting piracy(ies) on the high seas.

 

8.  Know that the U.S. President's Vice President Morton was an expert in international banking transfers and sold his bank to the Morgan bankers.

 

9.  Know that there were six American Civil War Generals/Officers in Hawaii at the time of the wrongful dethronement.

Belgium's government recognized the independence of the Hawaiian Islands.

the following documents are very important due to the recognition of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1844.

EXTRACT FROM THE 1916 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD SENATE Senator Owen: I wish to put in the Record the secret treaty of Verona of November 22, 1822, showing what this ancient conflict is between the rule of the few and the rule of the many. I wish to call the attention of the Senate to this treaty because it is the threat of this treaty which was the basis of the Monroe doctrine. It throws a powerful white light upon the conflict between monarchical government and government by the people. The Holy Alliance under the influence of Metternich, the Premier of Austria, in 1822, issued this remarkable secret document: AMERICAN DIPLOMATIC CODE, 1778-1884 The undersigned, specially authorized to make some additions to the treaty of the Holy Alliance, after having exchanged their respective credentials, have agreed as follows: ARTICLE 1. The high contracting powers, being convinced that the system of representative government is equally as incompatible with the monarchical principles as the maxim of the sovereignty of the people with the divine right, engage mutually, in the most solemn manner, to use all that their efforts to put an end to the system of representative governments, in whatever county it may exist in Europe, and to prevent it being introduced in those countries where it is not yet known. ARTICLE 2. As it can not be doubted that the liberty of the press is the most powerful means used by the pretended supporters of the rights of nations to the detriment of those of princes, the high contracting parties promise reciprocally to adopt all proper measures to suppress it, not only in their own States but also in the rest of Europe. ARTICLE 3. Convinced that the principles of religion contribute most powerfully to keep nations in the state of passive obedience which they owe to their princes, the high contracting parties declare it to be their intention to sustain in their respective States those measures which clergy may adopt, with the aim of ameliorating their own interests, intimately connected with the preservation of the authority of the princes and the contracting powers join in offering their thanks to the Pope for what he has already done for them, and solicit his constant cooperation in their views of submitting the nations. ARTICLE 4. The situation of Spain and Portugal unite unhappily all the circumstances to which this treaty has particular reference. The contracting parties, in confiding to France the care of putting an end to them, engaged to assist her in the matter which may the least compromit [sic] them with their own people and the people of France by means of a subsidy on the part of the two empires of 20,000,000 of francs every year from the date of the signature of this treaty to the end of the war. ARTICLE 5. In order to establish in the Peninsula in the order of things which existed before the revolution of Cadiz, and to insure the entire execution of the articles of the present treaty, the high contracting parties give to each other the reciprocal assurance that as long as their views are not fulfilled, rejecting all other ideas of utility or other measure to be taken, they will address themselves with the shortest possible delay to all the authorities existing in their States and to all their agents in foreign countries, with the view to establish connections tending toward the accomplishment of the objects proposed by this treaty. ARTICLE 6. This treaty shall be renewed with such changes as new circumstances may give occasion for, either at a new congress or at the court of one of the contracting parties, as soon as the war with Spain shall be terminated. ARTICLE 7. The present treaty shall be ratified and the ratifications exchanged at Paris within the space of six months. Made at Verona the 22nd November, 1822. for Austria: METTERNICH for France: CHATEAUBRIAND for Prussia: BERNSTET for Russia: NESSELRODE Senator Owen: "This Holy Alliance, having put a Bourdon prince upon the throne of France by force, then used France to suppress the condition of Spain, immediately afterwards, and by this very treaty gave her a subsidy of 20,000,000 francs annually to enable her to wage war upon the people of Spain and prevent their exercise of any measure of the right of self-government. The Holy Alliance immediately did not same thing in Italy, by sending Austrian troops to Italy, where the people there attempted to exercise a like measure of liberal constitutional self-government; and it was not until the printing press, which the Holy Alliance so stoutly opposed, taught the people of Europe the value of liberty that finally one country after another seized a greater and greater right of self-government, until now it may be fairly said that nearly all the nations of Europe have a very large measure of self-government. "However, I wish to call the attention of the Senate to this important history in the growth of constitutional popular self- government. The Holy Alliance made its powers felt by the wholesale drastic suppression of the press in Europe, by universal censorship, by killing free speech and all ideas of popular rights, and by the complete suppression of popular government. The Holy Alliance having destroyed popular government in Spain, and Italy, had well-laid plains also to destroy popular government in the American Colonies which had revolted from Spain and Portugal in Central and South America under the influence of the successful example of the United States." "It was because of this conspiracy against the American Republics by the European monarchies that the great English statesman, Canning, called the attention of our government to it, and our statesmen then, including Thomas Jefferson, who was still living at that time, took an active part to bring about the declaration by President Monroe in his next annual message to the Congress of the United States that the United States would regard it as an act of hostility to the government of the United States and an unfriendly act, if this coalition, or if any power of Europe ever undertook to establish upon the American continent any control of any American republic, or to acquire any territorial rights. "This is the so-called Monroe Doctrine. The threat under the secret treaty of Verona to suppress popular government in the American republics is the basis of the Monroe Doctrine. This secret treaty sets fourth clearly the conflict between monarchial government and popular government, and the government of the few as against the government on the many." (Senator Owen, Congressional Record 1916)

 ***************************** **********

Masons/Freemasons:
1892 - A Concerted Move to dethrone Queen Liliuokalani progressed:

Lorrin A. Thurston, American, conspirator, treasonous person, offered to purchase the Hawaiian Islands for approximately $60,000.

A. U.S. agent through the Annexation Club offered Queen Liliuokalani $250,000 to purchase the Hawaiian Islands.

U.S. Secretary of the Navy, B..F. Tracy, met with Makua Valley rancher, Samuel Andrews, a nephew of Lorrin Thurston during the "preliminary contemplation ......of overthrowing the Monarchy" and talk about annexation after.

Hawaiian Kingdom employees in Washington, D.C. Dr. Mott-Smith and Thomas Akaka (ancestor of Daniel Akaka promoter of the Akaka Bill presently pushing criminal assumptions of all lands, assets, identity(ies) of all kanaka maoli) consulted, confided, planned the dethronement of Queen Liliuokalani and assume lands, assets, resources, etc. with communications from Sanford B. Dole, Lorrin Thurston, U.S. President Benjamin Harrison, Congress, et. als.

May 24. Cousin to Queen Liliuokalani Robert Wilcox, and Englishman Volney V. Ashford were arrested for Treason in Hawaii. "On the morning of the 21st...twenty persons charged with the crime of treason against the Hawaiian Government were arrested. Their object was the overthrow of the existing form of government by deposing Queen Liliuokalani and establishing a Hawaiian republic."

Robert Wilcox did try to overthow King David Kalakaua, also a cousin, and "he and his associates were convicted on like charges, they were promptly pardoned"..........Wilcox "was elected to the Legislature."

"The leaders of the movement are understood to be Voleny V. Ashford and Robert Wilcox, the well-known agitators."
Read: THE NEW YORK TIMES, published June 1, 1892.''

"The penalty for treason is death; for conspiracy imprisonment, not to exceed ten years, and a fine of $1,000."

Read also articles "The Hawaiian Conspirators", THE NEW YORK TIMES, and "Trials for treason in Hawaii do not seem to be very fruitful in results...:, THE NEW YORK TIMES, Thursday, July 14, 1892.

Note: It appears that this and previous moves to dethrone cousins King David Kalakaua, and his sister Queen Liliuokalani by Robert Wilcox and 19 others shows trial runs, testing over what was to come......Robert Wilcox appears to have been supported by the U.S., and Volney Ashford supported by England, etc.

1892 Conspirators planned to dethrone Queen Liliuokalani: - Lorrin Thurston and Benjamin F. Tracy, U.S. Representative met with Thurston in Makua, Oahu on the 'preliminary contemplation of dethroning the Queen'. - Dr. Mott-Smith, Lorrin Thurston, Thomas Akaka etals. planned to dethrone Queen Liliuokalani in Washington, D.C. - May 24. Volney V. Ashford and Robert Wilcox with 18 others were "charged with the crime of treason against the Hawaiian Government" and arrested. "Their object was the overthrow of the existing form of government, by deposing Queen Liliuokalani and establishing a Hawaiian republic." Note: It appears that this was a trial run for the January 1893 premeditated plan to dethrone the Queen seven (7) months later or January 1893. See article "Arrests for Treason in Hawaii" in THE NEW YORK TIMES, published June 1, 1892. - Masons/Freemasons gathered, paraded by the hundreds and celebrated a new building/a Temple and called Honolulu their "home city". (This happened in December 1892 or a few weeks before dethroning our Queen.) Note: Masons/Freemasons were set in place to break down Monarchy governments worldwide. Also see the 1822 Secret Treaty of Verona's goals. Once again, Robert Wilcox and others, tried to take over the Hawaiian Kingdom. Once again he was tried for treason, and he was released. Robert Wilcox appeared to be testing his cousins to help the Americans. Many people tried to pay the Queen for the Hawaiian Islands. They claimed to be Hawaiian subjects but were actually Americans and treasonous, criminals to the Hawaiian Kingdom. Even the U.S. President McKinley and U.S. President Grover Cleveland were in on it with England and the bankers (Morgan bankers, Bank of England, and others). They planned the takeover of our Hawaiian Kingdom since they started to say that Bernice Pauahi Bishop was the last of the Kamehameha's. That was a lie! Many descendants existed then and exists today.

Other New World Order/One World Order Activists - Masons/Freemasons: The following article appeared in the Hawaiian newspapers before the criminal dethronement of our Queen Liliuokalani: Hawaiian Gazette, Honolulu, Tuesday, January 3, 1893 (note: Queen Liliuokalani was wrongfully dethroned on Tuesday, January 17, 1893, exactly two (2) weeks later.)

Hawaiian Gazette, Honolulu, Tuesday, January 3, 1893

M.. was chartered by the Grand Lodge in California on the 5^th day of May, 1872 our sister Lodge Le Progress some years older, and the charter members were:  Letanel Lyon, C. W. Vincent, Wm. Wond, Frederick W. Thompson, Andrew C. Mott, John Meek, David P. Penhallow, Jas. G. Saukins, Alexander J. Cartwright, Joseph Irwin, F.M. Stokes.

     From that time our Lodge has prospered, and today we have one hundred and twenty-seven members, and are able to erect this Temple.

     Masonry has always held a high position in Honolulu:  sovereigns, governors, judges, clergymen, and those most respected in our community have and do belong to the order.

     I do not say that all good citizens are Masons, but I do say that all good Masons are good citizens.

     Brother Masons, now that we shall become more prominent, let me ask you to unite with our neighbors the Young Men's Christian Association and the Honolulu Library and Reading Room Association in doing all we can by our good example, to promote good morals, and good citizenship in this our home city.

     After the Band played a selection Grand Secretary P.M. John Phillips read the contents of the box which was afterwards deposited in the cavity of the lower stone.  The box was made of sheet copper and was 14 l/2 inches long, by 9 inches wide by 7 inches high.  The following is the official list of the contents:

After an ode was sung by the choir, the architect P.M. Clinton B. Ripley distributed the working tools among the Grand Officers, giving the trowel to Grand Master P.M. William F. Allen; the square tot eh Deputy Grand Master; the level to the Senior Grand Warden, P.M. Theodore F. Porter, and the plumb to the Junior Grand Warden, P.M. William M. Graham.  These officers then descended from the platform to the stone and placed themselves around it according to the Masonic ritual. 

After the cement had been spread on the lower stone, the Grand Master directed the upper stone to be lowered to its place which was done at three separate intervals and at each stoppage the brothers gave the grand honors.

When the stone was properly adjusted the Grand Master pointed the cement upon the edges of the stone and the usual ritual was proceeded with until the tools were returned to the architect, after which another ode was sung by the choir.

Grand Master Allen then introduced Hon. Paul Neumann, the orator of the day, who delivered the following eloquent oration:

                                                    The Oration.

MOST WORSHIPFUL GRAND MASTER, YOUR MAJESTY, BROTHER AND LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:

This is the era of terseness.  We desire to waste no time and that which is to be said on any occasion must be said briefly, provided that brevity does not detract from the solemnity of the occasion or mar the purport (?) of the speech.

The paragraphs on the newspaper epitomizes the information which he gives us, that we may glean without waste of time what is necessary or interesting to know of the happenings of the day, and he is appreciated.  The speaker of the day who says that which he is called upon to say without waste of words or time deserves also appreciation and praise.

Let me then, in accepting the honor of addressing this goodly assemblage, make up by the brevity of the discourse for other defects.

Not only to the members of the Hawaiian Lodge of Masons, but to our fellow citizens, this ceremony is of interest.  With this ceremony is inaugurated further advancement of our town as well as a manifestation of the prosperity of our Order and our Lodge. On the 12^th day of January, in the year of our Lord 1852, over forty years ago, an application was made to the Grand Lodge of Freemasons of California for a dispensation to open a lodge of Masons in Honolulu under the name of Hawaiian Lodge.  A few months later, on the 5^th day of May of that year, a regular charter was granted to that lodge giving it a lawful standing throughout the world. 

The lodge then began its masonic work and while its meeting place improved in appearance from time to time, and while it could boast of the possession of its own house, many of the members deemed the accomodations insufficient.  Hence arose the intention which we are not carrying out, of erecting a place where we find room not only for our masonic work, but also for social converse.

For more than forty years our lodge has been in existence, maintaining the rites and principles of the ancient craft without a taint upon the membership or work; without strife, without comity, without ill feeling, but in undisturbed harmony has this lodge done its work during all that length of time.

The records of this lodge are but part of the evidence of the good done by it and its situation upon the confines of the world of our European and American bretheren has given additional value and weight to all the charitable acts performed by this lodge and its individual members.
