the whole industry! Again this could only have happened, because the occult power of this Astor
family gave them the right. Obviously, others in the Committee of 300 had to step aside, if his
position
in the hierarchy had not given Astor the right, believe me the other families that originally
controlled the fur trade would have gotten rid of Astor. One result of his fur company, was
that Astoria, OR was created. Today, perhaps in honor of the family that originally
took interest in it,
Astoria is a real hot-bed for the secret Satanic covens in Oregon. John Jacob Astor did have a few
helpful connections.
Three of his relatives were captains on clipper ships. He had connections in
London to the Backhouse family. He married a Todd, a family frequently associated with Satanism.
His wife, a Todd, was also connected to the influential Brevoort family. And finally for some reason,
John Jacob Astor was also on good relations with the politicians of the day, perhaps
because most of
them were Freemasons
too.
For a few years John Jacob Astor had participated in the opium trade, but
in 1818-he publicly quit
running opium to China. John Coleman in his good book The Conspirator’s
Hierarchy: The
Story
of the Committee of 300, p. 131 notes, “John Jacob Astor made a hugh fortune out of the China
opium trade .... it was the Committee of 300 who chose who would be allowed to participate in the
fabulously
lucrative China opium trade, through its monopolistic
BEIC, and the beneficiaries
of their
largess remained forever wedded to the Committee
of 300.” Interestingly
another Top 13 family, the
Russells, was also one of the lucky ones to get a slice of the China opium trade. It is clear
repeatedly from history that Astor was privy to inside information
in the government,
and maintained
his own courier system. John Jacob Astor bought up large amounts of land in NY which land greatly
increased in value. The
Financial Panic of 1837 allowed him to foreclose on a large number of
mortgages. John Jacob Astor’s wealth continued to skyrocket. As one biography said, “When it came
to a question of principle versus profit, Astor was a practical man.” Put simply, he had no scruples.
Astor had a reputation for being a ruthless landlord. He also had the reputation of not paying his
legitimate debts. Astor became a banker, and sat on the board of 5 directors of the new national bank
that Hamilton created for the U.S.
government
called the Bank of the United States. Astor owned a
large block of the stock of the Bank of the United States. Astor also was fairly active
during his life as a Freemason,
holding several more key positions in the secret lodge life. John Jacob
was the richest man in the United States. Note this reference.
Meyers, Gustavus. History of the Great
American Fortunes. London: Stationers Hall, 1909, p. 147 said, “Statistics issued in
1844 of manufacturers
in the United States showed a total gross amount of $307,196,844
invested.
Astor’s wealth, then, was one-fifteenth
of the whole
amount invested throughout
the territory of the
United States...” Is having 1/15th of all of what American money is invested not rich? John Jacob
Astor’s descendents had a penchant for secrecy, and set up things to rule
from behind the scenes. In
contrast, to some of the other top families, the Astors perferred not to sit on boards of corporations
they controlled. In 1890, a real estate expert calculated the Astors owned 1/20 of New York
City real estate. After making their fortune while residing in the New York area, the Astors by and
large have all gone to England. They still wield
great financial power in the United States through
proxies. Forum Magazine, Nov. 1889, commented that authorities estimated the Astors were
worth $300,000, but that that figure had to be an underestimate.
Today, my estimate of the Astors is
that they are worth about 40 billion dollars. One
of the many foundations that the Astors created was
the Vincent Astor
Foundation,
which is controlled from England by the Astors and has in the
range of $100 million tax exempt dollars. The Vincent Astor Foundation has typically given to
Catholic and Episcoplian
needs, among other things. They also give money to agencies opposed to
private ownership of guns. They give
money to NY’s public library. Imagine how much influence
that gives them, when the library is receiving regular help for general support? A 1971 Foundation
Directory stated that the V. Astor foundation had its present emphasis on preventing
juvenile
delinquency. Why don’t I trust the Astor’s in helping out with law enforcement?
The William
Waldorf Foundation
states that its purpose is ‘Promotion of mutual understanding
and the diffusion of
knowledge and culture among the United States and the dominions, colonies, and countries of the
British Commonwealth.’
This sounds very similar to the public statement of purpose that the secretive
Pilgrim Soc. has given out to those who need something about them. Assets for this foundation are a
mere $64,000. Vincent Astor (now deceased) was a member of 41 private clubs, To give an idea of
how much power just one of the many Astor men wield some of the businesses Vincent was involved
