of the gunpowder
manufacturers,
giving them an absolute monopoly
in the munitions
industry. They
modernized the DuPont factories and put the DuPont businesses back Into top shape.
On August 22, 1857 the du Ponts lost their first family member to an explosion, Alexis duPont. The
duPonts had always beea in the forefront on safety at their gunpowder factories, but that did not
prevent them from having to suffer repeated explosions over the years. An explosion at a gunpowder
factory is easily set off and very deadly. The tutor that was hired in 1852 to tutor the DuPont children,
R. Page Williamson,
described in his letters to Virginia that the duPont children were very spoiled
and difficult to work with. In 1872, Henry duPont brought together Laflin & Rand and Hazard Powder
Co. in order to form a Gun Powder Trade Association.
What the Association
did was to eliminate
competition
between the three largest manufacturers
of gunpowder, and create a monopoly for this
cartel. Eventually DuPont bought out the other two plus numerous other small gunpowder companies.
I
suggest that everyone who believes that the DuPonts and the rest of the elite are capitalists, should
take another look at history. These men do not believe in capitalism, they believe in monopolies--
which
boils down to the same thing that occurs under communism.
When these people described their
setting up a monopoly they call it "bringing
order and stability to a fragmented and chaotic industry."
In 1889, Alfred I. du Pont attempted to bribe French officers in charge of the production of smokeless
gunpowder to give the secrets to him. But no amount of bribe would work,
as the Frenchmen knew they would lose thefr lives if they gave the secrets to him. The British were
not any more helpful. Ufe was not all peaches and cream. Fred was murdered. William du Pont
(1855-1928)
was trapped in a marriage with a duPont cousin, May du Pont, that he ditn’t want to be
married to. Louis Cazenove du Pout a handsome, intelligent young - committed suicide with a bullet
in the library at the Wilmington
Club. Alfred was shot in the face by accident on a hunting trip. The
duPont family had their share of heartaches, broken marriages, insanity, etc. When Mary Belin
married into the family she brought some Jewish blood. As a major part of the budding military
industrial complex the DuPonts during the 19th century had to work with the army and navy. The
army and navy convinced them to Implement a contract with the Coopal Co. in Belgium for
smokeless powder, which when the formula was received was found to be inferior to what the
American were already producing. However, this whole episode ended with the DuPonts going with
their own formula and setting up a new plant at Carney’s Point, New Jersey. This hits the highlights
of the family history in their first 100 years in this nation. To celebrate their first hundred years, every
living descendent of the first Pierre Samuel was invited to a great banquet. A building was built to
house them. They numbered over 100. At each person’s table setting was a special gift of a gold coin,
prepared especially to commemorate
this centennial. On Jan. 1, 1900, the DuPont tribe celebrated.
The DuPonts are shrouded in so much secrecy, that their secrecy is not even known. When Eugene
DuPont, the chief executive of the family gunpowder/high
explosive business died near the turn of the
century, none of the other DuPonts hardly even a vague idea of how much the company was worth or
what assets it had. (At that time the DuPonts had powder plants in PA, DEL, Iowa, and TN. The
DuPonts are much the same today, except that their assets are perhaps ten times better hidden, not
only from outsiders but from themselves.
The DuPonts have in general made their money the hard
way-by working and producing,
in contrast to the other top families. The DuPonts are to be
commended
on this, even If at times they have been very tight on what they have given their workers.
The DuPonts have also shown an amazing ability to keep their dynasty alive. There seems to be an
increasing
invisibility
to their family.
HITTING PAYDIRT
One of the people who bad been Involved for a short time with the Illuminati, and is now a Christian
told me that they could remember the name The Society of the Cincinnati and that they knew nothing
about the organization,
but that it had something to do with the Illuminati. But what is this
organization?
Without anything but the name I began my investigation. At first look it seemed like some old ladles
genealogy group who are descendents
of revolutionary
soldiers.
