JESSE JAMES WAS ONE OF HIS NAMES -- II
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
Great Britain, frustrated in her colonial designs upon the United
|
|
States, after the War of 1812 ceased her machinations for awhile.
|
|
She was occupied elsewhere, for example in the Crimean War. But
|
|
by about 1856, the eyes of the British imperialists turned once
|
|
more toward America. "A close business relationship had grown up
|
|
between the cotton-growing aristocracy of the southern states and
|
|
cotton manufacturing England, and the southern states were
|
|
swarming with British agents." (*The Empire of "The City"*, by
|
|
E.C. Knuth) Stirred up by these British agents, the South chose
|
|
to secede from the united States.
|
|
|
|
And why *couldn't* the southern states secede? They had joined
|
|
into the Union voluntarily, so why couldn't they later choose to
|
|
withdraw from that union? The south wanted a divorce, and it had
|
|
never promised "until death do us part." An article sent to
|
|
Conspiracy Nation by a reader ("How Lincoln Destroyed the
|
|
Jeffersonian Ideal," by Thomas J. DiLorenzo) asks the same
|
|
question. Secession "was the very principle upon which the
|
|
American Revolution was based." During Thomas Jefferson's
|
|
presidency, New England Federalists, upset at rule from the
|
|
agrarian Virginian, Jefferson, plotted secession themselves.
|
|
"During this time there was no debate among the New Englanders
|
|
over the *right* of secession, only over its wisdom as a
|
|
political strategy." (DiLorenzo)
|
|
|
|
Why was Abraham Lincoln so fixated on preserving the Union? We
|
|
are told in "history" books that he felt strongly that "the Union
|
|
must be preserved." But *why* must it? Apparently Lincoln never
|
|
explained the "why" of it. Two possible "whys" are (1) a strong
|
|
Union deters European designs on North America, and (2) Lincoln
|
|
was the servant of East Coast capitalists, with their own
|
|
imperialist designs on the continent. Perhaps the two reasons
|
|
suggested are not mutually exclusive.
|
|
|
|
As his "reward" for helping save the Union for the greater wealth
|
|
and glory of East Coast capitalists, these same capitalists had
|
|
Lincoln murdered when he threatened to get in the way of their
|
|
plan to rape the South via "Reconstruction."
|
|
|
|
During the Civil War, with U.S. energies concentrated within, the
|
|
European imperialists tipped their hand. "In December, 1861, a
|
|
large British, French and Spanish expeditionary force was landed
|
|
at Vera Cruz [Mexico] in defiance of the Monroe Doctrine."
|
|
(Knuth) The Archduke Maximilian of Austria was installed as
|
|
Emperor of Mexico.
|
|
|
|
The American Civil War "officially" ended at about the time
|
|
General Robert Lee surrendered at Appomattox in April of 1865,
|
|
but according to Del Schrader (*Jesse James Was One Of His Names*
|
|
by Del Schrader, with Jesse James III. Arcadia, California:
|
|
Santa Anita Press, 1975. Library of Congress Catalog Card
|
|
Number: 74-33962), Nashville, Tennessee continued on as the
|
|
underground capital of the Confederacy for *nineteen* more years.
|
|
And as for the secret society known as "The Knights of the Golden
|
|
Circle" (see CN 11.35), it did not apparently disband until 1916.
|
|
|
|
After Lee's surrender, a force of 2,000 Missouri cavalry and "a
|
|
full regiment of Confederate-led Red Bone Indians from East
|
|
Texas," led by General J.O. Shelby, headed south, into Mexico.
|
|
(Schrader) They naturally went to join with their ally, the
|
|
European puppet Emperor Maximilian. This force became threatened
|
|
by Mexican patriots, followers of Benito Juarez. Sent to rescue
|
|
Shelby's troops, says Schrader, was an elite force led by
|
|
Colonels Quantrill and Jesse James.
|
|
|
|
While in Mexico, Jesse James reportedly was introduced to Emperor
|
|
Maximilian. James was enlisted to help the dictator smuggle a
|
|
huge treasure out of his tottering empire. Included in the
|
|
treasure were jewels and heirlooms of the House of Hapsburg,
|
|
Aztec gold hidden, long ago, from the *Conquistadores* by
|
|
servants of Montezuma, and a great quantity of other gold on loan
|
|
to the emperor from the House of Rothschild.
|
|
|
|
James and his band began moving the treasure northward. Shortly
|
|
thereafter, they learned that Emperor Maximilian had *apparently*
|
|
been executed by Juarez's patriots. But the emperor, says
|
|
Schrader, had *not* been killed. Shot, with others, by firing
|
|
squad, the bodies were loaded onto carts and hauled away for
|
|
burial. At the gravesites, a group of Red Bone indians had
|
|
infiltrated the burial ceremony. When they noticed signs of life
|
|
in the emperor, the indians finagled the Mexicans into allowing
|
|
them to give the "dead" dictator a separate burial. Maximilian
|
|
was nursed back to health, and made his way to East Texas, where
|
|
he was met by Jesse James.
|
|
|
|
Grateful for the help James had given him, Maximilian gave him $5
|
|
million in gold. The Knights of the Golden Circle received an
|
|
additional contribution of $12.5 million, says Schrader.
|
|
|
|
Reportedly, Jesse James persuaded Maximilian to change his name
|
|
to John Maxi and live undercover in America. James also
|
|
reportedly went to Europe, found a look-alike of Maximilian's
|
|
wife, Charlotta, and then smuggled the real Charlotta back to the
|
|
U.S. There, she became re-united with her husband. Now buried in
|
|
Maximilian's grave in Vienna, says Schrader, is a German seaman
|
|
who had died in a gunfight in Vera Cruz. "Switching bodies is a
|
|
subterfuge as old as mankind, and the Golden Circle certainly had
|
|
no monopoly on this practice." (Schrader)
