Dear Lucy Marie,
For the Truth about Churchill and his like-minded cronies, let’s open Mr. Pat Riott’s THE GREATEST $TORY NEVER TOLD – Winston Churchill and the Crash of 1929 to page 113:
Day 44
Sunday
10/20/1929
“Winston, Jack and Baruch headed back to New York City for the “big week” on Wall Street.”
Day 45
Monday
10/21/1929
“Winston and Jack met with Baruch, Baruch was frantic because he did not know if he had all the pieces in place.
During the week of the 20th. Jack and Winston monitored most of their work from the workspace that Percy Rockefeller had set up for them in his Manhattan office apartment.”
Percy skull & bones, class of 1900 Rockefeller was 53 years old. His father was a longtime family friend of Churchill’s grandfather Leonard Jerome, another Wall Street manipulator and speculator. Percy was the son of William Rockefeller, chief of the Standard Oil Company, New Jersey.
Stand Oil was another of the stocks “worked” hardest during the period of the crash.”
Day 46
Tuesday
10/22/1929
“Winston, Jack, Baruch, spent the entire day and evening on the phones. Although it had been “snowing dollar losses” on Wall Street the real “blizzard” was scheduled to begin, in just two more days, on Thursday.”
Day 47
Wednesday
10/23/1929
“Another frantic day consumed, lining up all the players before the big day – Black Thursday.”
Day 48
Thursday
10/24/1929
“Black Thursday finally arrived, Churchill was at Percy skull & bones Rockefeller’s office apartment and met very early with Baruch who was in close contact with his three brothers’ Hentz & Company brokerage firm. Baruch’s “secret” account there was known only and managed under account number 19.
Another long-time group of mutual friends were the Rockefellers of Standard Oil. The Rockefellers had been friends of the Churchill family for a long time. Churchill’s own grandfather, an American, had held a seat on the New York Stock Exchange with Rockefeller. The Rockefellers themselves owed a great deal of their success from the Rothschilds and seed capital for their ventures.
At the opening of the market, gigantic transactions began to take place. Trades in giant “blocks” of 20,000 shares for Kennecott Cooper, Sinclair Oil 15,000 shares. Standard Brands 15,000 shares, 13,000 Packard Motors, 20,000 General Motors quickly overwhelmed the market.
The forces had mobilized and were ready for an all-out assault on the market that would culminate the following Tuesday.
Unable to restrain himself from viewing the carnage first-hand and up close, Churchill visited the New York Stock Exchange at 11:45. There he hovered like a vulture, above the financial massacre of millions of Americans dreams of the future. Some became so distraught and over-whelmed they committed the only act of dignity they thought they had left – suicide.
Just another in an endless string of lies that would go toward covering up his involvement, Churchill later wrote that, “just by chance”, he happened to be walking down Wall Street “at the worst moment in the panic” past the Exchange when a perfect stranger invited him into the gallery to view the devastation that was going on inside.
The only problem with Churchill’s innocuous story is that you’d have to be a complete idiot to believe it.” Ladies and Gentleman, I really like his style of writing, straight to the point, complete idiot.”
Day 53
Black Tuesday
10/29/29
“Churchill and Jack remained at Percy skull & bones Rockefeller’s Manhattan office apartment most of the day. Baruch was in contact with numerous players in the USA and Europe as the disaster reached a fever pitch.
Churchill claimed he had lunch with Bernard Baruch. While the worst financial crisis unfolded in American history, one only wonders how Churchill, poor liar that he was, could think such a story would even be considered believable.
To make matters worse, while the numbers were still being calculated, well past midnight, there was a care-free atmosphere for those present at Bernard Baruch’s Fifth Avenue Mansion where Churchill was the guest of honor.
Over 40 guests were on hand, among them bankers and financiers. For a group of people who later claimed they had just lost everything, the mood was jubilant and ecstatic – one of celebration!
Churchill himself wrote, “He (Baruch) had gathered around his table forty or more of the leading bankers and financiers of New York.”
Some of those at the party were:
Charles Mitchell, National City Bank
Albert Wiggin, chairman of Chase National Bank
Charles Schwab, Bethlehem Steel
Percy Rockefeller, Standard Oil
John D. Ryan, President of Anaconda Copper
Eugene Meyer, Federal Reserve Governor
Tom Lamont, Senior partner J.P. Morgan
Herbert Bayard Swope, Editor New York World
Adolph Ochs, Publisher New York Times
Gerard Swope, Chairman General Electric
George Blumenthal, Lazard Freres
Jules S. Bache, Chairman, J.S. Bache & Co.
Otto Kahn, Chairman, Kuhn Loeb
and over 30 other financial titans.”
