In 1929, Hall will be fined $100,000 and go to the slammer, presumably getting to keep $300,000 of his ill-gotten gains. Not bad pay in 1929 for a year of living at the taxpayers' expense. Exhibiting the usual high morals of the oil industry, Harry Sinclair does a little jury tampering and gets a slap on the wrist. Best of all, the Bureau of Investigation (BI), the predecessor to the FBI, takes a break from smashing up the offices of union organizers and breaks into and wiretaps the offices of the members of Congress who had exposed the scandal. Seems only reasonable.
1921:
Police and the National Guard join in the massacre. Airplanes are used to drop dynamite on black areas of the city. White mobs, some deputized by police, destroy six hundred black-owned businesses, burn three thousand homes, twenty one churches, libraries, schools and a hospital. A thirty five block area of the black community of

1921: GERMANY. Henry Ford's anti-Jewish diatribe, The International Jew, is published in the U.S. where half a million copies are printed. Editions are also published in German, Russian and Spanish. Copies are distributed by Ford agencies throughout the world. The book has a dramatic impact in Germany which, devastated by The Great War, is now being devastated by the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles. Among many other ills, Ford blames the Treaty of Versailles on the Jews. Although at least two of figures behind the Treaty, Max and Paul Warburg of Kuhn, Loeb, are, at least, nominally Jewish and are war profiteers, equally guilty are the Dulles brothers, good solid nominal Christians and, not coincidentally, cousins of the Rockefellers. Another guilty goy is Thomas Lamont of J.P. Morgan.
1921-23: UNITED STATES. The Veterans Bureau is established by Executive Order in 1921. The first Director of the Bureau is Charles R. Forbes, formerly Director of the War Risk Insurance Bureau, who bestows upon himself the rank of colonel in the U.S. Army. At the time the Veterans Bureau was established, American veterans of World War One were receiving medical care and examinations for pensions or compensation and other health-related benefits in a mix of Public Health Service, military, contract, leased and Veterans Bureau (former military and Public Health Service) hospitals.
The Veterans Bureau under Forbes is plagued by the same reports of scandal, corruption and cronyism as the Harding Administration itself. Charges range from outright bribery and collusion in the selection of hospital sites to kickbacks for contracts, bootlegging of federally held liquor stocks and improper disposal of purportedly surplus medical supplies.
In 1923, Forbes embezzles $250 million of public funds and runs off to Europe. The amount stolen by Forbes represents about twenty percent of the entire budget of the Veterans Bureau for the three year period during which he was director.
1921: UNITED STATES. Five thousand coal miners gather for a protest march to Logan County, West Virginia. About 1,300 state police, deputy sheriffs, armed guards and others stop the marchers near the Logan county line. A battle goes on for four days. West Virginia Governor Ephraim Morgan asks for the Army and 2,100 federal troops are deployed to block the protest. The Army carries out aerial reconaissance. Ultimately, the Army forces threatening the protestors grow to include a chemical warfare unit, a bomber and fighter planes. Somewhat outgunned, the miners eventually surrender. 543 people are indicted on charges including murder, treason and carrying guns. Membership in the coal unions plummets after 1921.
1921-ongoing: UNITED STATES. The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is founded by conspicuous non-combatant "Colonel" Edward Mandell House, the man who had been chief advisor, many would say puppetmaster, to President Woodrow Wilson. Money to establish and operate the CFR comes from the Rockefellers and the Carnegies via tax exempt foundations. The Rockefellers provide the CFR headquarters building on Park Avenue in New York.
Made up of largely of the minions of America's ruling class, the CFR will eventually exert a staggering influence over all aspects of American life. The American mass media, many of whose leading lights are, not coincidentally, CFR members, will remain unsurprisingly coy about the activities of the CFR and its pernicious influence on American politics. Virtually all American presidential candidates from both parties come from the CFR.
The CFR is the establishment. Not only does it have influence and power in key decision-making positions at the highest levels of government to apply pressure from above, but it also finances and uses individuals and groups to bring pressure from below, to justify the high level decisions for converting the U.S. from a sovereign Constitutional Republic into a servile member of a one-world dictatorship.

1921-ongoing: UNITED STATES. Scientist Thomas Midgley, working at Dupont-owned General Motors, develops one of the most dangerous and toxic substances ever invented by man, tetraethyl lead (TEL). TEL, an anti-knock agent which allows gasoline engines to run at higher compression levels and therefore more efficiently, is touted by General Motors as the salvation of America at what is supposed to be the end of the oil age.
Quickly suppressed is the fact that ethanol, derived from corn and other renewable resources and environmentally benign, does exactly the same thing. Perhaps more importantly, increasingly popular blends of ten to fifteen percent ethanol with gasoline are reducing the Rockefeller's petroleum sales.
The disaster of tetraethyl lead is inflicted on the people of the U.S. and the rest of the world in the
quest for ever more profit. The production of ethanol, a clean, safe, renewable, domestic alternative to imported oil, is virtually destroyed in the U.S.
In 1925, the Duponts through General Motors and the Rockefellers through Standard Oil (Exxon) form the unholy alliance of Ethyl Corporation to manufacture and sell their poison product to an unsuspecting American public. Almost two hundred workers are killed and poisoned, including Midgley himself.
From the beginning, health experts and government officials warn of the dangers of introducing lead into gasoline but the corporate propaganda machine and tame politicians ensure that the Duponts and the Rockefellers will make ever more billions while contaminating the air, water, soil, bodies and brains of Americans with 15.4 billion pounds of lead from TEL until it is finally banned in 1995. At a public health service enquiry in 1925, a Standard Oil (Exxon) spokesman refers to the deadly tetraethyl lead as "a gift of God".
Even in 2008, one in six American children will still have excessive lead levels in their bodies. Some three million American children have lead levels high enough to impair neurological development. In Chicago, almost two thirds of children were considered to have lead poisoning in 1991. In Los Angeles, one third of children were suffering from lead poisoning.
Not satisfied with their profits poisoning America and Americans, the Duponts and Rockefellers will provide TEL and the technology to make it to Nazi Germany before and throughout World War Two. Gotta keep those Stukas, Messerschmits and Focke Wulffs flying for the New World Order.
In 1930, Midgley goes on to develop the ozone-destroying refrigerant Freon for the Duponts' General Motors, earning himself a position as one of the greatest contributors in history to the
destruction of the environment and human health.
In 1940, Midgley becomes paralyzed. His paralysis is attributed to polio, generally considered to be a disease of infants. Paralysis happens to be one of the many manifestations of lead
poisoning from which Midgley is known to have suffered.
In 1944, Midgley accidentally hangs himself in a contrivance of ropes and pulleys he had devised to lift himself from bed. A blessing really, before he invented something else.
