                                   On the train, as it sped secretly into the blackness of night and into a
                                malevolent future, were several of the most influential, powerful, financial
                                and political men in the world. Many hours went by in silence; all men
                                present knew they were to play a part in the development of a master plan
                                that would alter forever their destiny, the destiny of the United States and of
                                the entire world.
                                   For some of these men, traveling in the sealed railcar with the windows
                                blacked out, doubt crept into their minds as they pondered what would
                                happen to them if identified. They would certainly be branded by some a
                                traitor to the country, for clearly this act they were undertaking was treason.
                                The others among them had no latent sentiment of patriotism. Their only
                                allegiance was to their families (Rothschild, Rockefeller, Morgan) and money
                                – money beyond imagination that was soon to be theirs. The train moved
                                steadily south, consuming mile after mile of rail, bringing the collection
                                of traitors, bankers and politicians closer to their destiny at Jekyll Island,
                                Georgia.
                                   Conditions precedent to the Jekyll Island meeting unfolded several
                                years earlier with the 1907-08 financial panics, which had been secretly
                                orchestrated by J.P. Morgan. Morgan de-stabilized the currency by starting
                                a rumor about a competitor to eliminate competition and consolidate his
                                power.  This experience unnerved the entire country. President  Theodore
                                Roosevelt signed into law a bill which created the National Monetary
                                Commission. This Commission was charged with the formulation of plans
                                for stabilization of the U.S. currency. Senator Nelson Aldrich (grandfather to
                                Nelson Rockefeller) was appointed its chairman.
                                   Senator Aldrich, along with the entire Commission, departed for Europe
                                seeking solutions to the problems of U.S. banking and currency stabilization.
                                Their trip lasted nearly two years.  The committee visited with heads
                                (Rothschild) of all the European central banks. Upon their return no results
                                of the trip were published; no legislation was offered to Congress. All that
                                was known was that the bill for the trip was $300,000.
                                   There were, however, some interesting immigrants landing on our
                                shores along with the returning banking committee. One of them, Paul
                                Warburg, a German and member of the Rothschild banking family (German
                                division), immediately gained employment at the banking house of Kuhn,
                                Loeb and Company as an advisor at a salary of $500,000. Warburg and
                                Aldrich developed a plan, which Aldrich submitted to Congress, entitled the
                                “Aldrich Plan,” which was soundly rejected by the Western and Southern
                                Congressmen.
                                   As the train approached the Brunswick, Georgia, station, several dark
                                limos were present, awaiting the arrival.
