The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 226
years into WW I, they had skyrocketed to 48.5% and in 1917 they earned 39%. In 1917, US
Steel’s after tax profits were $244.7 million on total revenue of $478 million. Astoundingly, they
made over 51% net profits after tax.

Another group to profit very handsomely from the war
was the Rockefellers. In The Unseen Hand, A. Ralph Epperson reveals that the Rockefellers
“made far more than $200,000,000 from the conflict.”

It need not be mentioned but had the war ended early, Morgan as well as the Rockefellers
would have lost out on a once in a lifetime opportunity to profit from the war. Even greater was
the risk that Britain and France would loose the war and default on their bonds. Many of these
bonds were very short-term bonds and so they matured during the war and new bonds had to be
sold to redeem those that were maturing. It should seem obvious that news that Germany was
winning the war would make it very difficult to sell bonds. Even more important is the fact that
if the bond market dried up, the existing bonds would go in default. As the bonds matured, new
bonds needed to be sold to pay them off. If no one bought the new bonds, the maturing bonds
would go into default. Further, if Britain and France lost the war it was almost certain that all
existing bonds would have become worthless.
This was a vital concern to Morgan, he didn’t want to see his money tree wither and die
and it was an even greater concern to the financial elite in America who were at risk of loosing
hundreds of millions, which they had invested in English and French war bonds. This concern
gained the attention of some in the United States government who desired to bail out its wealthy
citizens by funding Britain and France with the United States Treasury but this was not possible.
Under existing treaties the US could not remain neutral if the government loaned money to either
France or Britain during the war. The obvious solution was America needed to enter the war.

Since the US Congress and Senate were staunchly neutral as well as the American public
a plan needed to be devised to bring America into the war. Although President Wilson had a
strong dislike for war, he was an internationalist. His loyalties were more to the idea of a one-
world government than to the sovereignty and safety of America. President Wilson became a
willing participant in the plan to bring America into the war because he believed it could be a
means to achieving a one-world government or NWO. The Rockefellers were also staunch
supporters of a NWO and it is most certain they were involved. The other two participants are
obvious; Morgan and Britain who both had much to gain. The person most responsible in Britain
was Winston Churchill.
The following is what historical documents, participants and observers claimed to have
transpired in order to bring the US into WW I and declare war on Germany:
The Lusitania Was A War Ship
The British government financed the building of the Lusitania and her sister ship the
Mauretania under the condition that they would be reserve vessels for the Royal Navy. They also
provided the ships owner, Cunard Steam Ship Co., a subsidy of seventy-five thousand pounds a
year. In 1913 the Lusitania was modified for war, which included the ability to mount twelve 6-
inch guns. With the outbreak of WW I, on August 4, 1914 the Lusitania went into service under
the British Admiralty as an auxiliary cruiser.
The Lusitania was used as both a merchant ship and troop carrier. She is said to have
