This is a great historical summary, for to understand one's time - the present - one must know where it came from.

I have a couple of addenda to add to your article comments:

Download and read, if you have not, a free PDF copy of F. Tupper Saussy's book, Rulers of Evil: Useful Knowledge about Governing Bodies in connection with the usurpation of 1789. Tupper goes farther, and one chapter in particular that is insightful is titled "American Graffiti", about the many symbols in Washington DC, including the "Indian" atop the dome of Congress and the obelisk - the Ashteroth pole - that is the Washington Monument. I met Saussy at the National Press Club (NPC) in WDC not long before he died.

Saussy's book also covers the connection between Adam Weishaupt and the Oriental (Paris) Lodge of Freemasonry, and how the courier on horseback from Weishaupt to Paris was struck by lightning and the govt of Baden-Wuerttemberg recovered the documents and outlawed Weishaupt's Illuminati, which 10 Planks is essentially identical to that of Marx. (Coincidence? Only to conspiracy deniers.)

Beyond Edward Griffin's "gold standard" book on money is Edwin J. Vieira Jr's work in two volumes, Pieces of Eight: the Monetary Powers and Disabilities of the U.S. Constitution. He is widely regarded as the leading expert on the historical and legal aspects of U.S. money. Vieira's career (though he had both a PhD in chemistry and a JD, from Harvard) was that of arguing (and winning) cases before the Supreme Court. I met him at the NPC and talked with him for a while there. He uttered one sentence which stuck in my mind regarding the trends in DC and what now is called the Deep State: "The deeper you dig, the dirtier it gets." Those who might suppose that your characterization of prominent figures that they know from media sound-bytes is extreme do not know what Vieira knows. He also wrote a fictional work, The Cra$hmaker, in which a number of Washington figures are given pseudonyms. As I read his (2 volume) novel, I made a list of novel characters and who I thought they were in real life. Ed, being a shrewd lawyer, only pointed out the ones I got wrong.

"... grandson of Hitler financier Prescott Bush" There are people who were in Congress, maybe still alive, who would know whether Prescott Bush spoke with a German accent or not. Bob Michel would have known and I really wish I had asked him (but did not before he died). Antony C. Sutton's coverage of the Bush descent also does not address this basic question.

I read recently that Earl Warren, being an active SCOTUS justice, did not lead the Commission but turned it over to Allen Dulles. It was the Dulles Commission report. Dulles also was not much into physical reality for the purposes of revealing who killed JFK. Bullets and heads are also subject to the law of conservation of momentum.

Great summary. If so interested, here's one of mine that details 1913:
