The most diabolical figure in history of finance - J.P. Morgan the demon himself
Sup guys. Finished a book on JP Morgan.
JP Morgan the man himself and the WASP banking establishment was straight out the gates of hell and I'm a little shocked at the carnage they were responsible for.
What you are about to read is not some script from Hollywood or some fantasy James Bond movie plot. Yes the world works like this.
HIGH SOCIETY PIMP AND FIXERS WORKED FOR HIM
Tom LaMont was JP Morgan’s hitman. He helped Italian fascist Mussolini get recognition for his invasion, conquest, and butchering of East Africa (Ethiopia). This was so his can resume his loans to Italy. Through his friend Lady Astor in England he got Lord Halifax the Foreign Secretary to recognize Mussolini’s conquest of Ethiopia. This occurred in 1938 and it was said that England had tossed Ethiopia to the wolves. Lamont lobbied the Foreign Office using Lady Astor .
SHAMELESS RACIST AND NARROW MINDED
Morgan despised Jews, Catholics, Germans, liberals, reformers and intellectuals into a single nefarious block.
Dodged a draft
Pierpont paid $300 for a stand-in during the 1863 drafts. Meanwhile he financed arms purchases for the Union.
Financed wars which he apparently did not like fighting in, see above
Was part of Boer War financing for British Gov
High society pimp
JPMorgan had as a partner a Brit who served as Finance Minister of India. He thought this would help establish a presence in Asia.
Got into trouble with the law
Attorney Generals filed an antitrust suit against JPMorgan and JPMorgan was indignant.
JPMorgan hated regulation and was a sexist.
Racist
Ferdinand Pecora a former District Attorney from New York oversaw investigations that would probe Morgan. Jack Morgan called Pecora a “dirty little wop” .
Sold junk financial products to unwitting masses
Morgan Guaranty’s National City Company’s 1900 salesmen unloaded risky Latin American bonds onto the masses when they soured.
Used a U.S. Potus candidate to draft evasive legislations to help avoid inspections
1924 Presidential candidate John W. Davis helped JP Morgan write a statute that helped exempt the bank from state inspection.
Used politicians to get his money back
Bribed Daniel Webster, the orator and statesman, to make speeches for debt repayment.

A. Turkey and Baltic states had a confrontation in 1912.
B. Jack had partner Harjes and US Ambassador to France to claim that JPMorgan would loan to Turkey and Baltic states if receptive to President Taft’s mediation.

Long story short, be wary of rich white men.
Sounds like Drumpfy's average Saturday
The gist of this is true, but some of the conclusions are flawed. The "WASP banking establishment" is a nice little obfuscation from another clannish ethnic group that nepotistically controls finance.
That said, JP Morgan was one of many corrupt robber barons behind the Union's war efforts in the Civil War and definitely help push America to get involved in World War I.
The conclusion here is that urban financial elites are not be trusted, not some complaint about white people. Most of the people screwed over by JP Morgan (i.e. Civil War and World War I casualties) were white.
I apologize for that comment. Yeah rich people everywhere worship money power first and race is secondary and yep rich white men have
thrown ordinary whites under the bus.
I added that part to make it a little more dramatic. Guilty on my part.
All good
Are you saying the Jews nepotistically control finance?
Not any more than he's saying Anglo-Protestants control finance :^)
If Jews nepotistically control finance, how could Morgan succeed?
Because they did not yet in the 19th Century. That didn't really start until well into the 20th Century.
