It was not accidental (the 1929 stock-market crash). It was a carefully contrived occurrence. ... The
international bankers sought to bring about a condition of despair here so that they might emerge
as rulers of us all...

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is eager to enter into close relationship with the Bank for
International Settlements... The conclusion is impossible to escape that the State and Treasury
Departments are willing to pool the banking system of Europe and America, setting up a world

has thereafter been referred to the Judiciary Committee and has YET TO BE ACTED ON.

Congressman Louis McFadden died a mysterious death in 1936. The only reference I could find of
it comes from the excessively right wing rag of the time, “Pelley’s Weekly,” that stated on Oct. 14th:
“Now that this sterling American patriot has made the Passing... it became known among his
intimates that he had suffered two attacks against his life. The first attack came in the form of two
revolver shots fired at him from ambush as he was alighting from a cab in front of one of the Capital
hotels. Fortunately both shots missed him, the bullets burying themselves in the structure of the cab.
He became violently ill after partaking of food at a political banquet at Washington. His life was
only saved from what was subsequently announced as a poisoning by the presence of a physician
