DEW used for Great Resets – Michelle Gibson
Complicit Scheming Robber Barrons – Then, as now, as always, parasites consuming hosts
I pulled together research I have done in the past in this video to show you evidence I have found for what I believe has taken place here, and who was responsible for the world we live in today. The corrupted world we live in today which was nothing like the incredibly advanced Moorish-Atlantean civilization that existed on Earth from ancient times to modern times when Humanity was functioning collectively at a much higher level of consciousness before it was destroyed, and not that long ago. I believe the malevolent, parasitic beings behind the cataclysm were shovel-ready to dig enough of the original infrastructure out of the ruined Earth so they could be used and civilization restarted as the New World Order, which I think started in earnest in the mid-to-late 1700s and early 1800s. While this new self-styled parasitic elite class lived in the lap of luxury, and helped themselves to the best of everything, they had little care for anyone or anything else.
Many thousands of miles of canals. A man would be taxxed to dig one swath across in a day, and that with all supplies and sundries and infrastructure handled elsewise. At least hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of such dug swaths would have required. Not enough humans. Not enough time. Just by basic numbers, nothing adds up as explained in official tales. …and since They have lied about practically everything else, why would this not also be yet another lie?
In the anthracite region, where the lragest known deposits of the purest / most power-packed antracite type of coal exist, the town of Centralia PA was recently ‘land-grabbed’ away from inhabitants via Zionic mass-media deception. Congressman Andy Ostrowski was working legal means of exposing the awful truth before being apparently poisoned. Much more on EAST GHOST COMpany and CONSPIRA ORGanization.

In this video, I'm going to pull together research I've done in the past to show you the evidence I have found
0:21
for what I believe has taken place here and who was responsible for the world we live in today.
0:28
My name is Michelle Gibson.
0:33
The corrupted world we live in today was nothing like the incredibly advanced Moorish Atlantean civilization that
0:40
existed on Earth from ancient times to modern times when humanity was functioning collectively at a much
0:45
higher level of consciousness before it was destroyed. And not that long ago.
0:51
As I have said before, my working hypothesis is that the circuit board of the Earth's original energy grid system
0:56
was deliberately destroyed relatively recently by one or more forms of directed frequency or energy of some
1:02
kind into different places on the Earth's grid, causing the surface of the Earth to undulate and buckle. What I'm
1:08
seeing from tracking lay lines all over the earth, looking from place to place at cities in alignment over long
1:13
distances, are the consistent presence of swamps, marshes, bogs, dunes, deserts, and places where it appears
1:20
land masses sheared off and submerged under the bodies of water we see today.
1:25
I believe the malevolent parasitic beings behind the cataclysm were shovel ready to dig enough of the original
1:30
infrastructure out of the ruined earth so they could be used and civilization restarted as the new world order which I
1:37
think started in earnest in the mid to late 1700s and early 1800s. There's
1:42
extensive underground infrastructure where those living on Earth at that time could have survived until the surface of
1:47
the earth was habitable. Then they only used the pre-existing infrastructure until they found replacement fuel
1:53
sources that could be monetized and controlled by them for what had originally been a free energy power grid
1:58
and transportation system worldwide. And when what remained of the original infrastructure was no longer useful to
2:05
them or inconvenient to their agenda, they had it destroyed, discontinued, or abandoned, typically in a very short
2:12
time after it was said to have been constructed. While this new parasitic, self-styled
2:19
elite class lived in the lap of luxury and helped themselves to the best of everything, they had little care for
2:25
anyone or anything else. The same story repeats all over the
2:31
country with the rubber barons coming in and setting up shop and taking control of everything. Starting first in
2:37
Pennsylvania and then expanding their activities outward from there through Appalachia, the present-day Great Lakes
2:42
region, and all the way across the continent. We learned in history class that this westward expansion was
2:48
referred to as manifest destiny, a 19th century belief that the United States was destined by God to expand its
2:55
dominion across the entire continent. But what if what we learn in school about our history is a complete and
3:01
total fabrication and something very different was going on here from what we've been taught to believe. Not for
3:07
the benefit of all, but only for the benefit of a very few. As I just mentioned, the story of what happened
3:13
here to create the New World Order starts first in Pennsylvania. So, that's where I'll begin. When I was doing
3:19
research in 2024 for On the Trail of Giants in Appalachia and beyond, I came
3:24
across the Lehigh Gorge, its abandoned railroad tracks that are now a recreational rail trail, and its scenic
3:30
railway. And yet another place I can add to my list of places I know of off the top of my head, featuring the
3:36
collocation of S-shaped riverbends, railroads, canals, gorges, and waterfalls that I have come to believe
3:42
were part of the Earth's original worldwide energy grid system. The Lehi Gorge is described as a steep walled
3:48
gorge carved by a river, thick vegetation, rock outcroppings, and waterfalls. The Lehi Gorge Trail follows
3:56
more than 20 m or 32 km of the Delaware and Lehi Trail, part of the larger
4:01
Delaware and Lehi National Heritage Corridor, which is 165 m or 266 km long.
4:08
The Lehi Gorge Trail is on an abandoned railroad grade beside the river. This is
4:13
what we are told about the Delaware and Lehi National Heritage Quartrer by the National Park Service. The Delaware and
4:19
Lehigh National Corridor preserves the historic pathway that carried coal and iron from Wilsberry to Philadelphia as a
4:27
vital connection to nature, recreation, and our nation's industrial heritage, as well as having more than $250 million
4:34
per year economic impact for the region. The Delaware and Lehi National Heritage
4:39
Corridor was also known as the anthraite region where the story of where America was built began. What we are told about
4:47
the anthraite region is this. It was home at one time to major anthraite coal
4:52
supplies and the minetom market process with a legacy of intense mining industrial development and rich mixture
4:58
of ethnic cultures. Anthraite coal was first mined in Wilsbury in 1775
5:05
and we are told that it fueled urban development in the region resulting in a string of towns, industries, mines,
5:11
roads and rail lines to the south. It is interesting to note here that the Fryberg University of Mining and
5:18
Technology, the oldest school of mining and metallurgy in the world, was established just 10 years prior to the
5:24
beginning of anthraite coal mining in Wilsbury, having been established in 1765 by Francis Xavier of Saxony of the
5:33
House of Weton. Its main purpose was the education of highly skilled miners and scientists in fields connected to mining
5:40
and metallurgy primarily through Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. First cousins and members
5:46
of the house of Saxa Hobberg and Gotha of the Ernestine branch of the house of Weton, the original royal houses of
5:53
Europe were completely replaced by this obscure German ducal lineage. Alexander
5:58
von Humboldt was a graduate of the Fryberg University of Mining and Technology. He was a Prussian naturalist
6:04
who in our narrative was a pioneer of the fields of biogeography and geomagnetism and an explorer of the
6:10
Americas between 1799 and 1804. Starting with an exploration of Mount Taty on
6:16
Tenneref in the Canary Islands. Humbult University in Berlin was named after Alexander von Humbult and his brother
6:23
Wilhelm. It was first opened in 1810 and was regarded as one of the world's preeminent universities in the study of
6:29
natural sciences in the 1800s and 1900s. Famous faculty and alumni included
6:35
famous names in our current historical narrative like the theoretical physicist Albert Einstein. Carl Marx and Friedrich
6:43
Engles co-c collaborators on the communist manifesto van Bismar first
6:48
chancellor of the German Empire Gayorg Hegel whose philosophy gave us the Hegelian dialectic of problem reaction
6:54
solution and the brothers grim best known for their fairy tales which has such storylines as eating people as in
7:01
Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretle. And during the same time period as Alexander von Humboldt's explorations
7:08
were taking place between 1799 and 1804, the following historical events occurred
7:13
as well. We are told the Louisiana Purchase was the acquisition of the territory of Louisiana by the United
7:19
States from France with the signing of the Louisiana Purchase Treaty on April 30th of 1803, which was officially
7:25
announced on July 4th of 1803. It was said to have doubled the size of the United States and paved the way for the
7:32
nation's westward expansion. One of the negotiators with France for the terms of the Louisiana purchase in 1803 on behalf
7:39
of President Jefferson was a minor French nobleman Pierre Samuel Dupont Dunors who was living in the United
7:46
States at the time. His son, Eluter Irenne Dupant, a chemist and
7:51
industrialist, founded the EI Dupont Dorsen company to manufacture gunpowder
7:56
and explosives in 1802 with the Dupants becoming one of America's richest
8:01
families with generations of influential businessmen, politicians, and philanthropists.
8:08
The following year in 1803, the Aim Shovel Shop was established in eastern Massachusetts. The AIM Shovel Shop
8:15
became nationally known for providing the shovels for the Union Pacific Railroad, which opened the West. It was
8:20
said to have been the world's largest supplier of shovels in the 19th century. The Ames brothers, Oaks and Oliver Jr.,
8:27
co-owners of the shovel shop that was established by their father, Oliver, were major players in the completion of
8:33
the Union Pacific Railroad. Also in 1803, the Louiswis and Clark expedition,
8:38
also known as the Quora Discovery, started on August 31st of 1803 and lasted until September 25th of 1806 with
8:46
a mission to explore and map the newly acquired western portion of the country after the Louisiana Purchase. When I
8:52
tracked the history of the entire Louiswis and Clark expedition in Louiswis and Clark and the core of
8:58
discovery, true history or real mystery, not only did I find the Rockefellers and
9:04
the standard oil refinery in Wood River at the location of Camp Dubois on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River
9:10
near Cahokia Mounds, which was the official starting point of the Louiswis and Clark expedition, and John Jacob
9:16
Astra's presence with the American Fur Company's fur trading fort at Fort Pierre, a stopping point of the Louiswis
9:22
and Clark expedition in Sou Country in present day South Dakota. I found the presence of other big names in the
9:29
beginnings of the corportocracy in which we've been living under like the General Mills multinational manufacturer and
9:36
marketer of ultrarocessed foods sold through retail stores. Like I said earlier in this video, it is my belief
9:42
that as soon as they were able to after this cataclysmic event took place, these bloodline families and their related
9:48
minions came into the ruined lands of the earth to explore, claim, harvest the resources of and provide us with a new
9:54
history and their new systems for power and control of the earth and its people after the worldwide energy grid of the
10:00
old world was destroyed in a deliberately caused cataclysmic event. They would have had an immediate need
10:06
for explosives and shovels in a post-c cataclysmic world of recent occurrence to begin their recovery work in order to
10:12
bring their new civilization back online from the remnants of the old civilization. Now, back to the anthraite
10:19
region in Pennsylvania. We are told that the demand for anthraite coal increased in the 1820s and 1830s as coal power
10:26
replaced water power and with the growth of the iron industry in Pennsylvania. Anthraite coal is the purest form of
10:33
coal and this region contains most of the world's supply of anthraite coal.
10:39
Today, this part of northeastern Pennsylvania is considered one of the largest concentrations of disturbed
10:44
terrain in the world with billions of tons of debris found in the landscape of abandoned strip mines. And this region
10:51
has among the highest poverty and unemployment rates in the United States with job loss from the decrease in coal
10:57
mining and the out migration of people because of it. We are told the American canal age was between 1790 and 1855 and
11:05
started in Pennsylvania where the first legislation surveying canals was passed in 1762. The construction of the Union
11:12
Canal between Middletown and Reading and Pennsylvania was said to have started under the administration of President
11:17
George Washington in 1792 and completed in 1828 and was touted as the golden
11:23
link in providing an early transportation route for shipping anthroite coal and lumber to Philadelphia. The main line of public
11:30
works of which the Union Canal was part of was passed by the Pennsylvania legislature in 1826 and funded various
11:37
transportation systems including Canal, Road, and Railroad. This is lock number
11:42
five of the old Union Canal. This section of the Union Canal was said to have been closed after the dam holding
11:48
the reservoir was washed away by a devastating flood in 1862. and the rest
11:53
of the Union Canal was said to have been closed to use in 1885 because it could not compete with the efficiency of the
12:00
railroad. We are told the lower section of the Lehigh Canal was built between
12:05
Eastern Pennsylvania and Mock Chunk, now known as Jim Thorp, Pennsylvania, with
12:10
construction said to been started in 1818 and completed in 1838. This map
12:15
also has a caption at the bottom that says this was the original Lehigh Valley Railroad line as well, which was said to
12:22
have opened in 1855. This is a view of the Lehigh Canal as it
12:27
appeared at one time in our history in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, located along this section in between today's Jim
12:33
Thorp and East. The National Canal Museum in Easton is dedicated to telling the story of
12:40
America's historic topath canals in Easton. The Lehi Canal connected with
12:46
the Pennsylvania Canal's Delaware Division and the Morris Canal, also known as the Delaware Canal. The
12:52
Pennsylvania Canal was said to have been built to feed anthraite coal to Philadelphia in the years between 1828
12:59
and 1834. It ran along the right bank of the Delaware River for 60 mi or 97 km to
13:06
Bristol, just north of Philadelphia. The Morris Canal was 107 mi or 172 km
13:13
long and said to have been completed in 1832 to carry anthraite coal across
13:18
northern New Jersey between where it connected to the Delaware Canal in Easton to what is today Jersey City on
13:25
the Hudson River. It was closed in 1924. It was hailed as an ingenious
13:30
technological marvel for its use of water-driven inclined planes. The
13:35
builders of the Morris Canal used a sophisticated powerhouse technology pictured here to power the water turbine
13:42
that was set in motion to raise or lower cradled boats on the inclined planes by
13:47
means of a cable. Yet they still needed mules to pull the canal boats and places
13:52
on the Morris Canal in spite of all of that sophisticated technology. So in my opinion, the first of the original
13:59
infrastructure we see coming back online in the postc cataclysmic new world were the canals. In the old world, the power
14:06
supply for the canals would have been the same free energy generated by the earth's worldwide grid system. And in
14:12
the new world, they had to use mule power to be able to utilize the original canal system because that was all they
14:17
had available for power. Back to the Lehigh Gorge State Park. What remains of
14:23
the original Lehigh Valley Railroad operations run today as the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway. The excursion through
14:29
the Lehi Gorge begins in Jim Thorp, Pennsylvania, formerly known as Mock Chunk at the southern end of the state
14:35
park. Mach was nicknamed the Switzerland of America for its steep hillsides,
14:41
narrow streets, and terrace gardens. The Asa Packer mansion here was said to have
14:46
been completed in 1861, which would have been the first year of the American Civil War. We are told that Asa Packer
14:53
was among other things a coal and railroad magnet, philanthropist, and founder of Lehigh University near
15:00
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, which was founded in 1865, the last year of the American Civil War. At the time of his
15:07
death, the value of Asa Packer's estate was $54.5 million, and he was considered
15:13
to be the richest man in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania at that time. And Asa Packer was a Freemason,
15:20
too. Renamed Jim Thorp in 1954 for the Native
15:25
American sports legend who was buried here. Mockchunk was founded as a company town in 1818 by Josiah White and his
15:32
partners who were also founders of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company. The Lehi Coal and Navigation Company was a
15:39
mining and transportation company that was headquartered in Mock Chunk. It operated from 1818 until it was
15:45
dissolved in 1964 and was known for having an early and influential role in the American industrial revolution. The
15:52
Lehi Cola Navigation Company was considered to be the first vertically integrated company in the United States.
15:59
Vertical integration is where the supply chain of a company is owned by the company. Other examples of the adoption
16:06
of the business practice of vertical integration off the top of my head by Adulphus Bush as head of Anhouser Bush
16:12
Brewing Association. Bush adopted vertical integration as a business practice in which he bought all the
16:18
components of his business from bottling factories to ice manufacturing plants to buying the rights from Rudolph Diesel to
16:25
manufacture all diesel engines in America. This illustration was of the Bivo bottling facility in St. Louis.
16:32
Adulus Bush died in 1913 with a net worth of $60 million at the time of his
16:37
death. Henry Ford also utilized the practice of vertical integration in the Ford Motor Company. The introduction and
16:44
refinement of the assembly line facilitated the mass production of new cars which in turn made the purchase of
16:50
a new car affordable for most people. As we go through all the information that will be presented in this video, we will
16:56
see why it was yet another replacement technology for the original transportation system which was powered
17:01
by free energy. Henry Ford was also the 13th wealthiest American of all time
17:07
according to CNN Business with an adjusted wealth of 67.2 billion.
17:13
Henry Ford was also an acknowledged 33rd degree Freemason.
17:18
Back to the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company and Mock Chunk. It had its beginnings as a Lehi Coal Mine Company
17:25
in 1792 after we are told a hunter named Philip Ginter discovered anthraite coal
17:31
on Pisca Mountain near Summit Hill near the border between Luzern and Carbon counties. The Lehi Coalmine Company was
17:39
incorporated in 1793 and acquired 10,000 acres or 4,000 hectares in and around
17:45
Panther Creek Valley and Pisca Mountain in order to bring anthroite coal from the large deposits on Pisca Mountain to
17:52
Philadelphia via mule trains and coal arcs or one-time single-use boats on the
17:58
Lehi and Delaware rivers. We are told that while the original Lehi coal mine company was able to sell all
18:05
the coal it could to the available market, it lost a lot of coal to the rough waters of the unimproved Lehi
18:11
River. So they sold the original company to Josiah White and his partners in 1818. In a nutshell, this is what we are
18:18
told. In the same year, in 1818, the new owners of the Lehigh Coalmine Company
18:23
began the construction of the Lehi Canal and that it became usable in 1820. The
18:28
Lehi Canal enabled the transport of anthraite coal, a primary energy source at the time, to the primary markets in
18:35
the northeastern United States and we are told inspired the development and connection of other regional canals. The
18:42
new owners of the Lehi Coalmine Company were said to have been behind the construction of the Lehi and Susuana
18:47
Railroad between 1839 and 1841. The Ashley Plains, an historic freight
18:55
cable railroad between Ashley and Mountaintop, said to have been built between 1837 and 1838 to transport
19:02
millions of tons of anthraite coal over the Wilsbury Mountain and brought in blast furnace technology to the Lehigh
19:09
Valley, a type of metallurgical furnace used for smelting to produce industrial metals. Smelting is defined as a process
19:17
by which metal is obtained either as a single element or compound. In 1822, the
19:23
company became the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, after which time we are told they built the Mock Chunk and
19:29
Summit Hill Railroad. The Mock Chunk and Summit Hill Railroad, also known as the Mock Chunk Switchback Railway, was said
19:36
to have been built in 1827 and operated until 1932. It was said to be the second permanent
19:42
railway constructed in the United States and used to transport coal down Summit Hill to the Lehigh Canal. Mockchunk Jim
19:50
Thorp was also a key location on the Central Railroad of New Jersey in the shipping of anthraite coal. The Central
19:57
Railroad of New Jersey was said to have built the Mockchung Station in 1888 in the Queen Anne Victorian architectural
20:03
style. Today it is owned and operated by the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railroad.
20:08
This is what we are told about the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The origins of the Central Railroad of New
20:14
Jersey began in 1831 with the incorporation of the Elizabeth and Somerville Railroad, which was
20:19
operational by 1842. In 1847, the Somerville and the Eastern
20:25
Railroad was incorporated, purchased the Elizabeth and Somerville, and the name was changed to the Central Railroad
20:30
Company of New Jersey. By 1852, the line reached Philipsburg, New Jersey on the
20:36
Delaware River and was extended across Newark Bay to Jersey City in 1864,
20:41
one year before the end of the American Civil War in 1865. From Jersey City, the railroad kept extending out to major
20:48
cities like Newark, Flemington, Perth, Amboy, Chester, and Wharton. We are told
20:53
that the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company built the CJ's lines in Pennsylvania, which was used primarily
20:59
for the shipment of anthraite coal. The Central Railroad of New Jersey terminal in Jersey City was said to have been
21:06
built in 1889 to replace an earlier one and is located next to the big basin of
21:11
the Morris Canal on the Hudson Waterfront in today's Liberty State Park as it is in close proximity to Ellis
21:17
Island and the Statue of Liberty in upper New York Bay. It was operational as a terminal until April 30th of 1967.
21:25
An estimated 10.5 million immigrants processed through here at one time in America's history when Ellis Island was
21:32
operational as an immigrant processing station between 1892 and 1954.
21:38
The architectural style of the Central Railroad of New Jersey terminal building is called Richardsonian Romanesque after
21:45
architect Henry Hobson Richardson who was said to have first used elements of this style in the Buffalo State Asylum
21:51
for the Insane in Buffalo, New York, which he is said to have designed in 1870. And Frederick Lstead was the
21:58
landscape architect and it was a Kirkbrite facility. The Buffalo State Asylum for the Insane was closed for
22:04
that purpose in the 1970s. In 1854, Dr. Thomas S. Kirkbride first published what
22:10
was considered the source book in the 19th century for psychiatric directives entitled on the construction
22:16
organization and general arrangements of hospitals for the insane with some remarks on insanity and its treatment.
22:23
We are told that throughout the 19th century numerous insane asylums were designed and constructed according to
22:29
the Kirkbride plan across the United States. And while numerous Kirkbride structures still exist, many have been
22:35
demolished, partially demolished, or repurposed. Today, the former Buffalo State Asylum for the Insane is known as
22:42
the Richardson Olmstead Complex and was repurposed as a hotel, which opened in
22:47
2023, and is considered one of the most haunted places in Buffalo, if not
22:52
Western New York. Richardsonian romanesque is described as a free revival style incorporating 11th and
22:58
12th century southern French, Spanish and Italian romanesque characteristics.
23:04
Henry Hobson Richardson had a relatively short career and didn't even complete his architecture school training in
23:10
Paris because he lost family backing because of the American Civil War. Yet somehow by the time he died at a
23:15
relatively young age of 47 in our historical narrative, he left behind a
23:20
legacy of mindblowingly ornate architecture. One more thing about the central railroad of New Jersey here, all
23:27
of the new railroad lines that were popping up betw twixed and between these large population centers and the Jersey
23:33
shore were like Atlantic City going right through the desolate, swampy, and forbidding pine barons. Today, there are
23:40
abandoned trains and railroad lines found throughout the New Jersey Pine Barons. The Delaware Lacawana and
23:46
Western Railroad mainline passed through the southern end of the Mount Pocono Burrow, which provided access to the
23:52
burrow from New York City via the terminal at Hoboken, New Jersey. One of the New York area's major transportation
23:59
hubs, the terminal at Hoboken was said to have been constructed by the Delaware, Lacawana, and Western Railroad
24:04
in 1907 and combined railroad, ferry, subway, street car, and pedestrian
24:10
services. We are told that numerous electric street car lines originated and ended at the station until the
24:16
completion of busitution in August of 1949, at which time they were replaced
24:22
by buses. This included the Hoboken inclined cable railway which consisted
24:27
of several lines including the Palisad line that traveled from Edgewater to Palisades Amusement Park which operated
24:33
from 1898 to 1971 and the Elorado elevator which met a
24:38
street car line that traveled along a trestle to a cut in the Palisades which ran parallel to the Elorado and
24:44
amusement park that opened in 1891 and closed as an amusement park in 1894
24:50
except for the hotel casino which was described desribed as Moish inspired. The Elorado's main building was used to
24:57
host boxing matches and VAL performances until it burned down in a massive fire in 1898.
25:04
There is still a Hoboken terminal in use today as an intramotal transportation hub. The New York Central Railroad was
25:11
said to be operating in 1853 with the consolidation of earlier independent companies running between Albany and
25:17
Buffalo. This graphic depicts the New York Central Rail system as of 1918.
25:23
The Staten Island born Cornelius Vanderbilt got his start in regional steamboat lines and oceangoing steam
25:29
ships and from there got into the railroad business. He bought control of the Hudson River Railroad in 1864, the
25:36
New York Central Railroad in 1867, the Lakeshore and Michigan Southern Railroad in 1869, and the Canada
25:44
Southern Railway in 1876. He consolidated his two key lines into
25:50
the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad in 1870, becoming one of the first giant
25:55
corporations in the history of the United States. According to CNN Business, Cornelius Vanderbilt was the
26:02
second richest American in history with an adjusted wealth of $25 billion.
26:08
I was also able to find a reference saying that the Vanderbilts were known Freemasons.
26:13
I have taken a very close look at the region of Pennsylvania around the Moshannan State Forest near Philipsburg
26:19
and this region's official history which among other things was important to the settlement and industrialization of
26:25
America and also the wealthy and influential men behind it all. We are told Philipsburg Burrow was founded in
26:31
1797 by one Henry Phillips who purchased 350,000 acres on the western side of the
26:37
Alageney Mountains for $173,000 and then proceeded to auction the land off on the streets of Philadelphia for 2
26:44
cents per acre. The region developed around the coal mining and lumber industries. The Beach Creek Railroad
26:52
between the South Jersey Shore and Mafy Burough, Pennsylvania, and part of the Susuana and Southwestern Railroad was
26:58
used for coal mining services in the region starting in 1884. This railroad ran near State College, home of Penn
27:05
State University and not far from Altuna, Pennsylvania. Mahaffy Burough, first incorporated in
27:11
1841, was located on US Route 219 at the junction of the New York Central
27:17
Railroad and the Hudson River Railroad. The arrows point to where railroad tracks ran along S-shaped riverbends on
27:23
this section of US Route 219 going through Mafy Burough. This railroad
27:28
project in Pennsylvania was said to have been backed and financed by William H. Vanderbilt, the oldest son of Cornelius
27:34
Vanderbilt and who was the president of the New York Central Railroad. William H. Vanderbilt had developed a plan to
27:40
facilitate railroad access to enter the Clearfield Coal, a large juicy coal mining area in Clearfield County, which
27:47
would have otherwise been exclusively accessed by the Pennsylvania Railroad. It was said to have been constructed
27:52
starting at the end of 1882 to high standards, including extensive curvature, bridges, and a tunnel, and
27:58
became operational in November of 1884. Eventually, this railroad line provided
28:04
passenger service and used as such until 1990. In 1994, the right-of-way was
28:10
acquired by the Headwaters Charitable Trust for the Snowshoe Railto Trail project and the rail went away. Along
28:17
with the coal mining going on in Pennsylvania, there were extensive logging activities. For example, the
28:23
Moshannan State Forest near Philipsburg was formed as a direct result of the depletion of the forest of Pennsylvania.
28:28
That happened in the mid to late 19th century when lumber and iron companies clearcut the forests. Then we are told
28:34
that sparks from passing steam locomotives caused wildfires from the remnants of the forest lands preventing
28:40
the growth of new forests. The land that became Moshannan State Forest was purchased by the state in 1898. The old
28:47
growth forest was gone by 1921 with a second growth forest replacing it since then. Interesting to note that a tornado
28:54
in 1985 tore through the forest and destroyed an estimated 88,000 trees.
29:00
There was much logging going on from this region. So the Suscuana boom was said to have been built in the 1850s
29:06
across the west Sescuana River at Williamsport. a system of cribs and chained logs designed to catch and hold
29:12
floating timber until it could be processed and logging railroads built to transport the lumber to the tune of 45
29:18
cars per day until logging ended here when all the trees were gone. The lumbermen left a barren landscape that
29:24
was devastated by fires, flooding, and erosion for many years until the CCC came in the 1930s and started replanting
29:31
trees after the state of Pennsylvania bought the deforested land from the central Pennsylvania Lumber Company in
29:38
1930. The Civilian Conservation Corps or CCC operated from 1933 to 1942 in the United
29:46
States for unemployed unmarried men to do manual labor related to the conservation and development of natural
29:52
resources in rural lands owned by federal, state, and local governments. Originally for young men ages 18 to 25,
29:59
it was eventually expanded to ages 17 to 28. In the nine years of its operation,
30:04
the CCC employed three million young men, providing them with food, shelter, and clothing, and a wage of $30 per
30:11
month, $25 of which had to be sent home to their families. There's no doubt in my mind that the CCC
30:18
and the other alphabet programs of FDR's New Deal during the Great Depression, like the WPA and TVA, were being used to
30:26
cover up the ancient advanced civilization. In the nearby city of State College, the
30:31
location of the University of Pennsylvania, Andrew Carnegi had begun mining iron ore in Scotia in 1881 for
30:38
his steel mills in Pittsburgh. And by 1887, we are told that a new era of iron
30:44
making in the Nitney Valley began with the opening of the Nitney and Belfonte furnaces along Buffalo Run near its
30:50
junction with Spring Creek and three railroads that were said to have been constructed to haul the iron ore to
30:56
them. the Belfonte Central, BFC Central Railroad, CRR, and Nitany Valley
31:02
Railroad, NV. By 1911, both of these furnaces had been shut down. By 1950,
31:09
all the railroads that had once served the area, either for the iron related industry or passenger service, including
31:15
the Pennsylvania Railroad lines circled in blue, were no longer in service. The
31:21
only historic rail line here that became operational again was a portion of the Belfonte Central after the Belfonte
31:27
Historical Railroad was organized as an excursion line in 1985 and occasionally
31:32
offers runs as a tourist attraction. Altuna in Pennsylvania is only 43 mi or
31:38
70 km southwest of State College. Altuna was said to have been established by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1849.
31:46
The horseshoe curve in Altuna is a three-track railroad curve that is described as one of the world's most
31:52
incredible engineering feats and was said to be accomplished by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1854.
31:59
It was said to have replaced the original Alagany Portage Railroad, which was said to be the first railroad
32:04
constructed through the Alageney Mountains in 1834 and connected to the Pennsylvania Canal. All of which was
32:11
said to have been built as part of the transportation system by the mainline of public works that was mentioned at the
32:17
beginning of this video after it was passed by the Pennsylvania legislature in 1826. Considered a technological
32:24
marvel in its day and critical to opening the way for commerce and settlement past the Appalachian
32:29
Mountains, the original Alageney Portage Railroad consisted of a series of five inclines on either side of the
32:35
ridgeeline to Crescent Summit alongside what is called the Little Con River to where it meets the Kone River at
32:41
Johnstown. Interesting things to note along the historic route of the Alageney Portage
32:46
Railroad are as follows. After leaving the main canal location of Holidaysburg
32:51
and going up towards Crescent Summit, we first come to the lopsided looking skew arch bridge called the only purposefully
32:58
built bridge on the portage and crossed over the railway. It was said to have been built in the 1830s as part of the
33:05
early road system. Today, the Skew Arch Bridge is preserved in the middle of old US Route 22 and the new US Route 22. US
33:13
Route 22 is an east-west numbered highway from 1926 that runs from Cincinnati in Ohio to Newark in New
33:20
Jersey and passes through West Virginia and Pennsylvania on the way. The next
33:25
landmark on the Alagany Portage Railroad's journey through the Alagany Mountains is the summit at Cresen, a
33:31
burrow which in Pennsylvania is a municipal entity like a town or small city on top of the Eastern Continental
33:37
Divide. US Route 22 is one of the highways that accesses Crescent. Back in
33:42
the industrial heyday of the late 19th century and early 20th century, there were lumber, coal, and cokeyard
33:48
industries here. Wealthy Pittsburgh businessmen like Andrew Carnegi, Henry Clayfrick, and
33:55
Charles Schwab, all connected to each other through the steel industry, had summer residences here, like Carnegi's
34:01
Braar Cottage in Crescent. Andrew Carnegi was a Scottish immigrant
34:06
to America who came to Pittsburgh in 1848 with his parents at the age of 12,
34:11
got his start as a telegrapher, and who by the 1860s had investments in such
34:16
things as railroads, bridges, and oil derks, and ultimately worked his way into being a major player in Pittsburgh
34:22
steel industry. I couldn't find a picture of Andrew Carnegie as a Freemason, but I could find a reference
34:28
to him being a famous freemason on a Masonic website. His first steel mill
34:33
was operational by 1874, the Edgar Thompson Steel Works, named after the president of the Pennsylvania Railroad
34:40
with his partners, one of whom was Henry Clayfrick, the owner of a coke manufacturing company, a product used in
34:46
making steel. They subsequently acquired other steel mills and in 1892 the
34:52
Carnegi Steel Company was formed of which Henry Clayfrick became chairman and in 1897 Charles M. Schwab, who had
34:59
gotten his start as an engineer at the Edgar Thompson Steelworks, became president of the CargI Steel Company in
35:05
1897. In 1901, Charles M. Schwab helped negotiate the sale of Carnegie Steel
35:11
with a merger involving it with Albert Garry's Federal Steel Company and William Henry Moore's National Steel
35:17
Company to a group of New York City financiers led by JP Morgan. After the sale of Carnegie Steel, Andrew Carnegie
35:24
surpassed John D. Rockefeller as the richest American at the time and Charles M. Schwab became the first president of
35:30
the newly minted US Steel Company. Andrew Carnegi was ranked as the sixth
35:35
richest American of all time by CNN business with an adjusted wealth of 101 billion.
35:41
After the former Alageney Portage Railroad left the summit at Cresen on its downward descent in elevation into
35:48
Johnstown along the Little Cone River, we come to the South Fork of the Little Cone River and what was the former
35:54
location of the South Fork Dam. The famous Johnstown flood on May 31st of 1889, the worst flood in the United
36:01
States in the 19th century was caused by the catastrophic failure of the South Fork Dam and was the second major
36:06
disaster the American Red Cross responded to after the Michigan Thumb, which started on September 5th of 1881
36:13
with hurricane force winds and hot and dry conditions. And that was less than four months after the establishment of
36:19
the American Red Cross in May of 1881. John D. Rockefeller was among several that donated to create a national
36:26
headquarters for the American Red Cross near the White House in Washington DC and said to have been built between 1915
36:32
and 1917. More on John D. Rockefeller shortly. The South Fork Dam was said to have been an
36:39
earthwork built between 1838 and 1853 as part of a canal system as a reservoir
36:44
for a canal basin in Johnstown by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. But then after spending 15 years building the
36:50
dam, it was abandoned by the Commonwealth and sold to the Pennsylvania Railroad, who turned around
36:55
and sold it to private interests. In 1881, speculators had bought the
37:01
abandoned reservoir and built a clubhouse called the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club and cottages, turning
37:07
it into an exclusive retreat for 61 steel and coal financiers from Pittsburgh, including Andrew Carnegie,
37:13
Henry Clayfrick, Andrew Melon, Philander Knox, John Leechman, and Daniel Johnson Morell. The South Fork Fishing and
37:21
Hunting Club was a Pennsylvania corporation and owned the South Fork Dam. Henry Clayfrick was a founding
37:27
member of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club and was actually said to have been largely responsible for the
37:33
alterations to the South Fork Dam that led to its failure. Interesting to note that I did find this reference on the
37:39
website of the Pleasant Valley Masonic Center in Connellsville, Pennsylvania that Henry Clayfrick was in Freemason
37:45
and its King Solomon's Lodge number 346 from 1872 to 1877
37:51
at which time he resigned as an active mason. But from what this entry says, his Masonic lodge continued to enjoy the
37:58
benefits of his generosity long afterwards, as well as that of his daughter. What we are told is that the
38:04
South Fork Dam failed after days of unusually heavy rain and 14.3 million tons of water from the reservoir of Lake
38:11
Kone devastated the South Fork Valley, including Johntown 12 m or 19 km
38:17
downstream from the dam, killing an estimated 2,29 people and causing $17
38:22
million in damages in 1889, which would be $490 million in 2020. Though there
38:29
were years of claims and litigation, the elite and wealthy members of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club were never
38:34
found liable for damages. In 1904, the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club Corporation was disbanded and assets
38:40
sold at a public auction by the sheriff and there were permanent exhibits in many places like Atlantic City depicting
38:47
the horrors of the Johntown Flood Experience for public consumption build as a thrilling account of the awful
38:53
floods and their appalling ruin. The South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club building and the nine remaining of 16
38:59
club member cottages still stand today and are under the opaces of the National Park Service as part of the Johntown
39:05
Flood National Memorial. So now we come to Johntown which is located 57 mi or 92 km east of
39:13
Pittsburgh. It is at the confluence of the Kone and the Stony Creek Rivers. This is a map of the 1889 Johnstown
39:19
flood direction from the National Park Service. Massive debris is marked at the Stonebridge location.
39:26
The Stone Bridge is a sevenarch railroad bridge that was said to have been constructed by the Pennsylvania Railroad
39:32
between 1887 and 1888. The Stone Bridge itself survived the flood, but it
39:38
trapped all kinds of debris, including miles of barbed wire that had been swept away by the raging flood waters. The
39:44
debris at the bridge caught on fire and burned for three days, killing many people that were trapped in the debris.
39:50
If the failure of the South Fork Dam and the subsequent catastrophic Johnstown flood was deliberately caused by the
39:56
prestigious members of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club, which evidence in the narrative suggests was the case,
40:03
then apparently these men had no care or concern for the death, destruction, and suffering for which they were never held
40:09
accountable that they caused down river. From 1834 to 1854, Johntown was a key
40:15
transfer point on the Pennsylvania Mainline Canal. At the head of the canal's western branch, canal boats were
40:21
transported over the mountains by the Alagany Portage Railroad to continue the trip by water to Pittsburgh at the forks
40:27
of the Ohio and onto the Ohio River Valley. Both Johnstown on one side of
40:33
the Alagany Portage Railroad and the Horseshoe Curve near Altuna on the other side likely have operational remnants of
40:40
the original incline railway system, though that's not what we've been told about them. The Johntown inclined plane
40:46
was said to have been designed by Hungarian American engineer Samuel Disher and completed in 1891 to serve as
40:52
an escape route from floods in the valley at the confluence of the Konaw and Stony Creek rivers and to connect
40:58
Johntown with the burrow of Westmont on Yodar Hill. Build is the world's steepest vehicular inclined plane. Its
41:05
slope has a grade of 71.9% and it takes 90 seconds for it to travel in between
41:10
the two stations. The inclined plane railway back at Horseshoe Curve near Altuna was said to
41:16
have been built in the 1990s to take tourists up to the park above to get a scenic view of the incredible
41:21
engineering feat by the Pennsylvania Railroad circa 1854 of the horseshoe curve and its three tracks that
41:27
eliminated the need for the Alagany Portage Railroads 10 incline planes. Incline railways work like an obliquely
41:34
angled elevator in which cables attached to a pulley system raise and lower the cars along the grade. Two cars are
41:41
paired at opposite ends and act as each other's counterwe. As such, there's not a need for traction between the wheels
41:47
and the rails, and thereby allowing them to scale steep slopes, unlike traditional rail cars. Thing is, there
41:53
used to be way more of them than there are now, and inclined railways were a worldwide thing. Now, they were mostly
41:59
either tourist attractions or kept in service as an important part of a community's transportation
42:04
infrastructure from low ground to high ground. Back in Johnstown, come to find out that the main highway connecting
42:10
Johntown to the Pennsylvania Turnpike is US Route 219, which makes a lot of appearances here, as does US19. And more
42:19
on both to come in this video. The north south US Route 19 runs from its northern
42:24
terminus at US Route 20 at Lake Erie in Erie, Pennsylvania to its southern
42:29
terminus at an interchange with US41 in Memphis, Florida, just south of St. Petersburg. The petroleum industry in
42:37
the United States began in earnest in 1859 when Edwin Drake found oil on a piece of leased land near Titusville,
42:44
Pennsylvania in what is now called Oil Creek State Park. For this reason,
42:49
Titusville is called the birthplace of the oil industry. And for a number of years, this part of Pennsylvania was the
42:54
leading oil producing region in the world. Today, not surprisingly, the Oil Creek
42:59
State Park Trail runs on the bed of the first railroad line to reach Titusville, the Oil Creek Railroad. Samuel Kir had
43:07
established America's first oil refinery in Pittsburgh in 1854 for making lamp oil, just 5 years before oil was found
43:14
in Titusville. So, it certainly appears like the petroleum industry was developed in the
43:21
1850s in order to provide a replacement energy technology for the free energy technology of the original civilization.
43:28
Roughly a decade after the birth of the oil industry at Titusville in 1870, John
43:33
D. Rockefeller along with Henry Flagler, an American industrialist and major developer in the state of Florida,
43:39
founded this Standard Oil Company, an American oil producing, transporting, refining, and marketing company. Oil was
43:46
used in the form of kerosene throughout the country as a light source and heat source until the introduction of
43:52
electricity and as a fuel source for the automobile with the first gas-powered automobile having been patented by Carl
43:58
Benz in 1886. John D. Rockefeller who was born in the United States in 1839 was the progenitor
44:05
of the wealthy Rockefeller family. He was considered to be the wealthiest American of all time as seen in this
44:11
ranking by CNN Business with an adjusted wealth of $253 billion. Rockefeller's
44:17
wealth soared as kerosene and gasoline grew in importance. At his peak, he controlled 90% of all oil. As quickly as
44:25
possible, a way was found to replace what remained of the free energy system with their own coal and oil-based system
44:32
and in the process make money handover fist from the total control of the new system. Interesting to note that West
44:39
Hickory is a short distance of just 14 mi or 22 km south of Titusville, where
44:44
the tallest recorded skeleton in North America was found at 18 ft or 5.5 m. The
44:51
previously mentioned US Highway Route 19 goes through Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is the largest city in Appalachia and the
44:57
Ohio Valley. It developed as the vital link between the Atlantic coast and the Midwest with examples like the Alageney
45:04
Portage Railroad connecting the Pennsylvania Main Canal to Pittsburgh and the Ohio River and points west of
45:10
the Alageney Mountains. Samuel Disher, who is credited with the design of the Johnstown Incline, was also credited
45:16
with the design of one of Pittsburgh's two remaining inclines, of the 17 that were originally on Mount Washington, the
45:23
Dukane incline, which opened in 1877. It was closed in need of repairs in 1962,
45:29
but reopened the next year after local residents raised funds to restore it, and it has been completely refurbished
45:35
since then and is one of Pittsburgh's most popular tourist attractions. The Manonga incline on Mount Washington was
45:43
said to have been designed by Prussianborn engineer John Andress of Cincinnati, Ohio, and started operating
45:48
in 1870. It is the oldest continuously operating finicular in the United
45:53
States. Interesting to note that 1870, the same year the Mananga incline became
45:59
operational in Pittsburgh, was also the same year that John D. Rockefeller and Henry Flagler founded the Standard Oil
46:05
Company. Pittsburgh played a dominant role in the development of the US steel industry.
46:11
Many leading industrialists of the 19th century were based in Pittsburgh and resided in the East Liberty neighborhood
46:17
in Pittsburgh's East End at one time the richest suburb in America with names
46:23
like Melon, Carnegie, Hines, and Westinghouse living there. We are told
46:28
that East Liberty started developing as a commercial area in 1842 when Thomas
46:33
Melon, prominent businessman and patriarch of the Melon family in Pittsburgh, married Sarah J. Negley, the
46:39
daughter of one of the earliest land owners in the area and made East Liberty their home. We are told that Thomas
46:44
Melon made his fortune selling or renting land inherited by his wife and used the proceeds to finance early
46:51
industries in Pittsburgh. Once again in 1870 he and his sons Andrew and Richard
46:56
established the T-Melon and Sons Bank and it became the Melon National Bank in 1902. It became a force in the mass
47:03
production revolution in the United States particularly in the Midwest. A national bank is a private bank
47:09
operating as a commercial bank within the federal government's regulatory structure and under the supervision of
47:14
the office of the controller of the currency rather than a state banking agency. At one time in our history,
47:21
national banks had the authority to print money. At its height, Melon Financial Services was one of the
47:27
world's largest money management firms. It merged with the Bank of New York in 2007 to become BNY Melon. Richard Melon
47:35
with an adjusted wealth of $ 103 billion is listed as the fifth wealthiest American of all time by CNN Business and
47:42
a founder of Gulf Oil and Alcoa Aluminum as well as a number of other big corporations along with his brother
47:49
Andrew Melon who is listed as the 15th wealthiest American of all time by CNN Business with an adjusted wealth of 63.2
47:57
billion. It is important to note that Andrew Melon was an acknowledged Freemason and also the US Secretary of
48:03
the Treasury from March 9th of 1921 to February 12th of 1932, presiding over
48:09
the boom years of the 1920s as well as the Wall Street crash of October of 1929, which led directly to the Great
48:16
Depression. Andrew Melon was also a close friend of
48:22
Henry Clayfrick and a member of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club along with Andrew Carnegi on the
48:27
property where the dam failed that caused the Johntown flood as previously discussed along with Andrew Melon as we
48:34
saw earlier in the section on Johntown. Andrew Carnegi and Henry Clayfrick were initiated into Freemasonry with Henry
48:41
Clayfrick active for only 5 years but supporting Freemasonry his entire life.
48:47
It's important to note that with the philanthropic activities spoken of these extremely wealthy men which are made to
48:54
sound extremely benevolent and meant to benefit humanity, it seems like their intent was highly questionable as to
49:00
their actual motives. We have seen or referenced all four of these men who received the top billing as robber
49:06
barons and more on Morgan to come. Among many other things, both the Rockefeller
49:11
and CargI foundations have been highly involved in the American educational system.
49:17
Even as early as 1914, the National Education Association expressed alarm at the activity of the Carnegie and
49:23
Rockefeller Foundations and their efforts to control the policies of state educational institutions and everything
49:29
related to the educational system. Now I'm going to go back to US 219 that
49:36
we saw in John'stown and take it on down to where it ends at Bluefield, Virginia, right across the state border from
49:41
Bluefield, West Virginia, where it meets up with US 19. The land beneath the two blue fields
49:48
contains the richest deposit of batuminous coal in the world known as the Pocahontas coal field or the flattop
49:55
Pocahontas coal field named after the flattop mountain on US19 in West Virginia and Pocahontas Virginia where
50:02
the first coal seam here was discovered. The Pocahontas coal field started to be mined in 1882.
50:09
Pocahontas in Virginia was named after the famous daughter of Chief Powhattan seen mostly in connection with the 17th
50:16
century Jamestown colony, the first permanent English settlement in the Americas. This is the most famous
50:22
depiction of Pocahontas from her time on the left. But this is how we've been taught to see Pocahontas and Powhattan
50:28
on the right. We are told that Bluefield in West Virginia with its great location with
50:34
respect to the developing Pocahontas coal field was selected as the location of a major division point on the Norfolk
50:41
and Western Railway in the late 19th century and that the railroad greatly stimulated the town's growth. So much so
50:48
that in its heyday, Bluefield was considered a little New York. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway was formed
50:54
in 1869 from several smaller Virginia railroads under the guidance of Collus P. Huntington. Also around the same time
51:01
that the Standard Oil Company was founded in order to connect the coal reserves of West Virginia with the new
51:07
coal peers that were built in Hampton Roads and Newport, News, Virginia, and first opened in 1873, forging a rail
51:13
link to places like Chicago and the Midwest. The city of Huntington in West Virginia was named for him.
51:21
Huntington was said to be one of the first American cities to have electric street cars with service believed to
51:26
have started around the end of 1888 and ran until the 1920s during which time
51:31
the Ohio Valley Electric Railway had organized a gas-powered bus service which by November of 1937 had completely
51:39
replaced all of Huntington's former electric street car lines. Collus P. Huntington was one of the big four of
51:46
western railroading along with Leland Stanford, Mark Hopkins, and Charles Crocker. We are told that after the
51:52
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway opened at the New River Gorge region in 1873,
51:57
coal was carried out of the New River Gorge to the ports in Virginia and to the cities in the Midwest. As a result,
52:04
by 1905, 13 cities sprang up between Fyet and Thurund, which was 15 mi or 24
52:10
km upstream and provided the West Virginia coal that contributed greatly to the industrialization of the United
52:16
States until the 1950s. After the coal seams were exhausted and mines closed,
52:22
these company towns were for the most part completely abandoned, with the possible exception of Thurund, which had
52:28
a very small population of five in 2010. It is interesting to note that at one
52:34
time in its history, Thurmont was a prosperous railroad town that was the largest revenue generating stop on the
52:40
CNO railroad where passenger and coal trains rolled through here throughout the day. Today, a visitor center for the
52:46
National Park Service operates here in the old railroad depot. CSX Transportation, formerly the CNO
52:53
Railroad, has freight transportation operations in and through historic Thurman. And the Amtrak Cardinal
52:59
passenger route goes through here, the second least used Amtrak station in the nation. As a matter of fact, the New
53:05
River Gorge is one of the places that I know of that still has a railroad operating right along beside the
53:10
S-shaped New River. The Amtrak Cardinal still runs through the New River Gorge three days per week on Sundays,
53:16
Wednesdays, and Fridays. So, like we saw back at the Lehigh Gorge in Pennsylvania with its railroad running alongside the
53:23
river, the waterfalls and the coal mining in the region, we find the same things here at the New River Gorge in
53:28
West Virginia. Besides the railroad line that runs along the New River through the New River Gorge, there are things
53:33
found in the gorge like historic coal mines, waterfalls, and hydro projects. In 1888, Collus P. Huntington lost
53:41
control of the railroad to JP Morgan, an American financier and investment banker who dominated corporate finance on Wall
53:47
Street during the guilded age between 1877 and 1900, and William K. Vanderbilt, who managed the Vanderbilts
53:54
family's railroad investments. William K. Vanderbilt was a grandson of Cornelius Vanderbilt. The process
54:01
continued on for the CNO railroad to consolidate and merge railroads and for example to gain access to productive
54:08
coal fields throughout the region through the 1920s. Next, I'm going to take a look at White
54:13
Sulfur Springs, West Virginia, which is to the southeast of the New River Gorge and to the northeast of the Pocahontas
54:18
Colefield region. White Sulphur Springs was said to have been settled in 1750 and developed as a health spa in the
54:25
1770s as the story goes after a woman was healed of rheumatism after bathing in the springs and calls itself
54:32
America's resort since 1778. The springs are on the grounds of the Greenbryer Hotel and Resort which was said to been
54:39
built by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company in 1913. Even today, the same Amtrak Cardinal
54:46
line that runs through the New River Gorge has a station at White Sulfur Springs. The Greenbryer Resort was at
54:52
one time a presidential getaway with President Eisenhower the last president in office to have stayed there with 27
54:58
presidents having stayed at the hotel before him. The president's cottage is a museum today.
55:04
A top secret superers sized underground bunker was said to have been constructed there in the 1950s during the Eisenhower
55:11
administration to serve as a relocation point for the US Congress in the event of a nuclear war. But when the secret
55:17
came out in a 1992 newspaper article, it was decommissioned. It had features like
55:23
a 25ton ton blast store that opened with only 50 pounds of pressure, its own power plant with purification equipment,
55:30
and the capacity for 75,000 gallons of water storage and 42,000 gallons of
55:35
diesel fuel. Every kind of medical care one would ever need, sleeping, meeting, and eating facilities for over a
55:42
thousand people. It was kept stocked with supplies for 30 years, but never used as an emergency location. In 1995,
55:50
the government ended the lease agreement with the Greenbryer and it was open to the public for tours which it offers to
55:55
this day. Today's Amtrak Cardinal line runs between New York and Chicago by way
56:00
of Washington DC through White Sulfur Springs, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis on its meandering route and was once a part
56:08
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. Burk's Garden in Virginia is just to the
56:13
south of the Bluefield area and accessed from US19 and is the next place I want
56:18
to bring to your attention. Burk's Garden has a population of about 300 people in a place considered to have the
56:25
most fertile soil in Virginia, but no post office, no cell phone or cable service, cool to cold weather, and one
56:33
paved road to Tazwell, the nearest town about 15 miles or 23 km away. Burk's
56:39
garden was known as Vanderbilt's first choice for the Grants Builtmore estate. We are told that the land owners there
56:45
wouldn't sell to George Vanderbilt I so he went to Asheville and North Carolina instead. More on Asheville shortly.
56:52
There are a number of historic railroads in the vicinity of Burks Garden like the Norfolk and Western Railroads Clinch
56:58
Valley line between the coal fields of Bluefield running through Tazwell County beside US 19 to the highquality coal
57:04
fields of the Clinch River Valley south of Richlands. The last place I want to mention on US19 is Asheville and North
57:11
Carolina. Asheville is at the confluence of the French Broad and Swanoa rivers. George Vanderbilt II's Builtmore Estate
57:18
is divided by the French Broad River and its confluence with the Swanoa River is on the Builtmore Estate. This whole
57:25
region was part of the traditional lands of the Cherokee people. They were said to have seated their land here around
57:31
Asheville in 1819. The Cherokee were one of the five civilized tribes to be forcibly removed
57:37
from their land after the Indian Removal Act of 1830 was passed by Congress and enforced by Lewis Cass, Andrew Jackson's
57:44
Secretary of War, and the Cherokee were marched west to Indian territory in one of several Trails of Tears. So,
57:51
Asheville on US 19 ended up being the location chosen by George Vanderbilt II for the Builtmore Estate instead of his
57:57
first choice, Burk's Garden, also on US 19. The Builtmore estate is on 8,000
58:03
acres or 3,237 hectares of land. This is what we are
58:08
told about the Builtmore. It was said to have been a chatau style mansion, meaning in the revivalist Renaissance
58:14
architectural style, a French chateau of the Lir Valley, built for George Washington Vanderbilt II between 1885
58:21
and 1895. It is the largest privatelyowned residence in the United States and is considered one of the most
58:28
prominent of the guilded age mansions. The guilded age is a name given to the period of time in American history
58:34
between 1877 and 1900 that was a time of rapid industrialization and rapid
58:41
economic expansion. This would have roughly corresponded in our historical narrative to the reconstruction era
58:47
after the American Civil War which we are told ended in 1865 and the
58:52
progressive era which is what we are told was a period of widespread political activism and reform that
58:58
started in 1896. It was also a time when the contrast of the ostentatiousness of
59:03
the wealthy versus the abject poverty of the working class became more visible.
59:09
We are told that the famous landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead was employed by George Washington Vanderbilt
59:15
II to design the landscape for the Builtmore estate. It was said to be
59:20
Frederick Law Olmstead's last project and he was memorialized in a plaque there.
59:25
George Washington Vanderbelt II was William Kissum Vanderbilt's brother who was mentioned earlier in this video as
59:32
having gained control of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad along with financier JP Morgan from Kus Huntington in 1888.
59:40
What we are told in our historical narrative is that George W. Vanderbilt II was supposed to sail on the RMS
59:46
Titanic with his wife, but they changed plans at the last minute.
59:51
JP Morgan has long been suspected of having been behind what has come down to us as the sinking of the Titanic. This
59:59
is what we are told on the Federal Reserve history website. A secret meeting took place on Jackal Island off
1:00:04
the coast of the state of Georgia to lay the foundations of the Federal Reserve between November 20th and November 30th
1:00:11
of 1910. The purpose of the meeting was so secret that what the six men talked about was a
1:00:18
closely guarded secret for many years and they did not admit to it until the 1930s. They were laying the foundation
1:00:24
for what would become the Federal Reserve system. Again, this information is from the
1:00:30
Federal Reserve history website. JP Morgan was a member of the exclusive Jackal Island Club and likely the one
1:00:37
who arranged for the group to use the club's facilities. George's brother, William K. Vanderbilt, was also a member
1:00:44
of what Muny's magazine described in 1904 as the richest, most exclusive, and
1:00:49
most inaccessible club in the world.
1:00:55
Arriving on a private train car, the group of men who attended the 10-day secret meeting on Juckle Island in
1:01:00
November of 1910 adopted the cover story of a duck hunt to explain their activities and hide the true purpose of
1:01:07
their meeting and addressed each other by their first names only. Hence, they adopted the name of the first name club.
1:01:17
This was the train station in Brunswick that serviced Jackal Island on the Southern and Atlantic Coast Railroad.
1:01:23
The Ogulthorp Hotel, pictured here, was said to have opened in January of 1888 after having been built on top of the
1:01:29
previous Ogulthorp House, which was said to burn down during the Civil War. It remained in operation until 1958, at
1:01:36
which time it was torn down and replaced by a Holiday Inn. The Holiday Inn was eventually torn down too, leaving an
1:01:43
empty lot in downtown Brunswick called the Ogulthorp block. Then on April 15th of 1912, we are told
1:01:50
the Titanic sank with all the bankers opposed to the creation of the Federal Reserve on board, including John Jacob
1:01:57
Aster IV, one of the richest people in the world at the time. The following year on December 23rd of 1913, the
1:02:05
Federal Reserve Act passed Congress signed into law by Wedro Wilson. It created and established the Federal
1:02:11
Reserve system and created the authority to issue Federal Reserve notes, commonly
1:02:17
known as the US dollar, as legal tender. John Jacob Aster IV was the great-grandson of the previously
1:02:23
mentioned John Jacob Aster, who made a fortune in real estate development, the fur trade, and opium smuggling. John
1:02:30
Jacob Aster was considered to be the world's first multi-millionaire and the third richest American of all time
1:02:36
according to CNN Business with an adjusted wealth of 138 billion. JP
1:02:42
Morgan himself didn't make the CNN business list of the 20th wealthiest Americans of all time. But he dominated
1:02:48
corporate finance on Wall Street throughout the guilded age and was a major driving force behind the wave of
1:02:54
industrial consolidation in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Like the previously mentioned
1:03:00
US Steel in 1901, JP Morgan's father, Junius Spencer
1:03:05
Morgan, was the founder of the company that would become JS Morgan and Company in 1864, that was the successor company
1:03:12
to George Peabody and Company, of which he became the junior partner in October of 1854.
1:03:18
In 1854, Morgan was put in charge of the firm's iron portfolio, which included the marketing of railroad bonds in
1:03:24
London and New York. By the time JS Morgan died in 1890, the Morgan banks
1:03:29
were the dominant forces in government and railroad finance and his son JP Morgan had taken the helm of the
1:03:36
company, becoming known as JP Morgan and Company in 1895, now known as JP Morgan Chase and
1:03:42
Company. George Peabody's Bank became the premier American banking house in London after he took up residence from
1:03:49
Baltimore to London permanently in 1837 and went from being a wholesale dry
1:03:55
goods and cotton merchant to a merchant banker offering securities in American railroad and canal enterprises to
1:04:01
British and European investors. He started a banking business trading on his own account a year after he moved to
1:04:07
London. And by 1851, he established the banking firm of George Peabody and Company to meet the increasing demand
1:04:14
for securities issued by American railroads. And his company specialized in financing governments and large
1:04:20
companies. According to the secret founding of America book by Nicholas Hager, George
1:04:26
Peabody was the freemasonic banker from whom money was transferred to the southern insurrectionists and he hired
1:04:32
the father of JP Morgan to handle the funds when they arrived in the United States.
1:04:38
Banker George Peabody established the Peabody Institute in Baltimore in 1857
1:04:43
with a bequest of at least $800,000 and it is the oldest conservatory in the
1:04:48
United States. By the time it was completed and opened in 1866, one year after the official end of the American
1:04:54
Civil War, it was dedicated by George Peabody himself and included a music academy, library, and art gallery.
1:05:02
George Peabody was also called the father of modern philanthropy. That entrance at the east wing of the George
1:05:08
Peabody Library sure looks proportionally like it's made for much bigger people than we are today. So,
1:05:14
exactly how do you go about hiding giants and their advanced civilization? I think the American Civil War was one
1:05:20
of many ways to do this and that it was not what we've been told about it. The revered and seemingly prolific Frederick
1:05:26
Law Olmstead started out his career as a journalist. Among other things, during the pre-Ivil War time period, Olmstead
1:05:33
was commissioned by the New York Daily Times to start an extensive research journey in the American South and Texas
1:05:40
between 1852 and 1857. He published three books from this time into one book
1:05:45
called Journeys and Explorations in the Cotton Kingdom in 1861 during the first six months of the American Civil War at
1:05:52
the suggestion of his English publisher. All of these books by Frederick Law Olmstead raise red flags for me as I've
1:05:58
come to believe from my research that publications like these are indicative of some kind of setting the stage in
1:06:05
seeding the new historical narrative into our consciousness by those responsible for the hijack of the
1:06:10
original positive civilization that built all of Earth's infrastructure. Frederick Lawmstead was also the first
1:06:16
executive secretary of the United States Sanitary Commission as well as an organizer of the Union League. First,
1:06:23
the United States Sanitary Commission. What we are told about the United States Sanitary Commission is that it organized
1:06:29
sanitary fairs during the American Civil War as a fundraiser for the many needs of Union soldiers, including health.
1:06:36
Sanitary fairs had everything, including majestic temporary buildings said to have been built for the fairs to be torn
1:06:42
down after. And while not as elaborate as the big expositions, such as in Chicago, they were still something in
1:06:50
and of themselves. Frederick Law Olmstead was on the standing committee for the United States
1:06:55
sanitary commission that was formed in New York with its main members throughout the civil war consisting of
1:07:00
Henry Whitney Bellows, George Templeton Strong and surgeons Dr. William H. Vanburn, Dr. Cornelius R. Agnu and Dr.
1:07:08
Walcott Gibbs. Did the US Sanitary Commission and its volunteers really have the wherewithal
1:07:15
to both construct the buildings for and pull off these extraordinarily lavish and festive undertakings against the
1:07:21
backdrop of national war and suffering? Or was it a private front comprised of
1:07:26
the very same people who organized and were prominent members of the private membership clubs of the day like the
1:07:33
Union League and the Century Association? We are told the Union League was a private social club for
1:07:38
wealthy men that opened in New York City in 1863 where pro- Union men could come
1:07:43
together to cultivate a profound national devotion and strengthen a love and respect for the Union. It became the
1:07:50
most exclusive men's club in Manhattan and perhaps in the nation. This location
1:07:55
for the Union League Club was said to have been built on the northeast corner of Fifth Avenue and 39th Street between
1:08:01
1879 and 1881. Along with Frederick Lawmstead, organizers of the Union
1:08:06
League club were Henry Whitney Bellows, George Templeton Strong, and Walcott Gibbs, same names as the United States
1:08:13
Sanitary Commission. Henry Whitney Bellowos was also involved in the organizing of the Century Association in
1:08:20
New York City. Founded in 1847 and incorporated in 1857, the Century
1:08:25
Association was a private social arts and dining club and named after the first 100 people proposed as members.
1:08:32
The Century Association building at 42 East 15th Street was in use by the
1:08:37
association starting in 1857 and which served as one of the headquarters of the United States Sanitary Commission.
1:08:45
Members of the Century Association have included artists and writers like poet and journalist William Colin Bryant,
1:08:51
landscape painter Frederick Edwin Church, landscape painter Winslow Homer, and best known for stained glass work
1:08:59
Lewis Comfort Tiffany. Architect members have included landscape architects Calberttv and Frederick Law Olmstead,
1:09:06
Bozart's architects Carrera and Hastings as well as York and Sawer and architects
1:09:12
McKim me and White who were said to have defined the ideals of the American Renaissance in end of the century New
1:09:18
York. Other members were said to have included eight US presidents, 10 US Supreme Court justices, 43 members of
1:09:25
the presidential cabinet, 29 Nobel Prize laurates, members of the Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Roosevelt and Astro
1:09:32
families, as well as financeier JP Morgan and Morse code inventor Samuel P. Morse. Ever hear the George Carlin
1:09:39
quote, it's one big club and you ain't in it, and wonder where that idea might have come from? Seems like all of these
1:09:46
private clubs we are seeing in this video were private and exclusive for a reason and that was to secretly plan
1:09:51
their activities and next moose that no one is supposed to know about. The so-called elites have continued doing
1:09:57
the same thing to this day in their secretive meetings to plan their agendas for what they want the future to look
1:10:03
like for humanity in the world. And what they want doesn't look good for us. The United States sanitary commission and
1:10:09
the sanitary affairs and the exclusive private clubs associated with the very same people leads to the larger question
1:10:15
of what was really going on during the American Civil War. Historically described as a civil war between
1:10:21
northern states or union and the southern states or confederacy over the status of slavery and its expansion into
1:10:28
newly acquired land after the Mexicanamean war. We are told there were three theaters of war during years of
1:10:35
the American Civil War between 1861 and 1865. Eastern, Western, and Trans
1:10:41
Mississippi. I have often thought that theater, defined as a collaborative form of performing art that uses live
1:10:47
performers, usually actors or actresses, to present the experience of a real or imagined event before a live audience in
1:10:54
a specific place, like a stage, is a thought-provoking word choice for an area or place in which important
1:11:00
military events occur or are progressing. I have come to view the American Civil War as freemasonic
1:11:07
theater which I think applies to all the wars and armed conflicts of our modern era.
1:11:14
Orphan trains started in 1854 under the opaces of Frederick Lolstead's good
1:11:19
friend Charles Luring Brace and the Children's Aid Society which Brace established in 1853. A new experimental
1:11:26
program of his called placing out became known to us as orphan trains. And for the next 75 years, over 200,000 children
1:11:34
were sent across the continent to uncertain destinations and uncertain futures with strangers. A movement going
1:11:41
in this direction was widely supported by wealthy New York families like Charlotte Augusta Gibbs, the wife of
1:11:48
John Jacob Aster III, grandson of John Jacob Aster and who was the wealthiest
1:11:53
Aster family member of his generation. Right around the same time as the beginning of the orphan train movement
1:11:59
and the alleged completion of the horseshoe curve by the Pennsylvania Railroad near Altuna, both taking place
1:12:04
in 1854. We are told that the federal government operated a land grant system
1:12:09
between 1855 and 1871 where new railway companies and what we are told was the
1:12:15
uninhabited west were given millions of acres they could sell or pledge to bond holders.
1:12:21
The establishment of a land grant system at this time is a good place to insert once again the story of the Ames
1:12:27
brothers of eastern Massachusetts co-owners of the Ames shovel shop nationally known for providing the
1:12:32
shovels for the Union Pacific Railroad which we are told opened the West. It was said to have been the world's
1:12:38
largest supplier of shovels in the 19th century. Why were shovels so important to the opening of the West and the
1:12:44
expansion of infrastructure? What if the tracks were already there and just needed to be dug out? Not only
1:12:52
that, one brother, Oliver Ames Jr., was the president of the Union Pacific Railroad from when it met the Central
1:12:58
Pacific Railroad in Utah for the completion of the first transcontinental railroad in North America. The other
1:13:04
brother, Oaks Ames, was a member of the US Congress House of Representatives from Massachusetts second district from
1:13:11
1863 to 1873. He was credited by many as being the most important influence in
1:13:17
building the Union Pacific portion of the first transcontinental railroad. Oaks Ames was also noteworthy for his
1:13:23
involvement in the Credit Mobile scandal of 1867 regarding the improper sale of
1:13:29
stock of the railroads construction company. He was formally censured by Congress in 1873 for this involvement
1:13:35
and he died that same year. 10 years later he was posthumously exonerated by the Massachusetts state legislature on
1:13:42
May 10th of 1883. The cities of Ames Iowa and Ames Nebraska are both said to
1:13:48
be named for Oaks Ames and were stopped on the Union Pacific Railroad. This is the Ames monument near Laram in Wyoming.
1:13:55
This large pyramid was said to have also been designed by Henry Hobson Richardson and built between 1880 and 1882. It was
1:14:03
dedicated to the Ames brothers for their role in financing the Union Pacific Railroad.
1:14:09
The new history of the robber barons and the reset seems to have gotten its start in Pennsylvania where there were a lot
1:14:15
of first happening in our historical narrative. The nickname of Pennsylvania is the Keystone State and in its
1:14:21
anecdotal history was said to have come from its location in the Keystone of the Arch depicted here in the center of the
1:14:28
original 13 colonies. But another reason comes to mind in the definition of keystone in its figurative sense as
1:14:35
opposed to its literal meaning as the stone in the middle of the arch which holds up the others. The idea of that
1:14:41
which holds together other parts locking together the whole structure. Pennsylvania certainly seems to have
1:14:47
played an instrumental role in doing just that in our historical narrative. Additionally, the story of the Masonic
1:14:54
keystone is well worth looking at, which has the letters HTWSTKS
1:14:59
engraved on it, said to mean Hyram, the widow's son, sent to King Solomon, referring to Hyram Abif. Hyram Abif is a
1:15:07
main character in an allegory presented to all thirdderee Freemasonry candidates as the main architect of Solomon's
1:15:13
temple. Hyram Abby was murdered inside the temple with a mason's tool by three fellow craftmasons from the workforce or
1:15:20
ruffians after he wouldn't give them his master mason secrets which were lost with his death. I found an article on
1:15:28
the masonicworld.com website a while back when I was looking for information on Hyram Abiff. In it, the writer talks
1:15:35
about operative masonry and the beginning of speculative masonry in 1717
1:15:40
with the founding of the premier Grand Lodge of England. The writer indicates in the article that while some believed
1:15:46
that operative masons were also in possession of the tragic story of Hyramab, there was no mention of Hyramab
1:15:53
in the existing records of operative masonry from before that time. That there was no third or mastermason degree
1:15:59
as a right until the premier grand lodge was established in 1717 and that it was
1:16:04
likely that the legend of Hyram was introduced at the time Freemasonry became a speculative organization.
1:16:18
To me, this provides supporting evidence that the ritual of the recital of the death of Hyramabith is actually an
1:16:24
allegory for what happened to the Moors themselves and their advanced civilization by the unworthy craftsmen
1:16:30
that has been enshrined in one of their main initiation rights. It is my understanding that only those initiated
1:16:36
into the highest degree of Western Freemasonry know directly about the Moors. And it is no secret within modern
1:16:43
Freemasonry that it is speculative, meaning based on conjecture rather than knowledge as opposed to operative,
1:16:50
meaning those who actually worked with stone. The new world's controllers stole the identity and legacy of the operative
1:16:56
masons and took us from the Moorish divine movement of the world from antiquity with the eye on top of the
1:17:02
pyramid signifying our pineal gland and our connection to the creator to it symbolizing big brother and the control
1:17:09
of the 13 bloodline families. There's a lot more I could add to our
1:17:14
lost history, but this gives you some idea of what has taken place here and not for our benefit.
