The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 232
called to testify about the guns before a US Grand Jury. Immediately after his testimony he was
imprisoned and later charged with perjury even though the government had no evidence to
support their charges. This is a secret tactic of the US government, to imprison those who know
the truth and charge them with crimes. Without Stahl’s testimony they would have no leverage
against him and no way to conceal the facts. After three months in prison he pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to 18 months in prison. Nine years later the government awarded him $20,000
compensation. This was a small price to pay, the government had achieved their objective, the
facts were concealed and America entered WW I.

While the US government was dealing with the messy job of a cover-up, Morgan and the
J. D. Rockefeller started their propaganda campaign. This campaign was carried out by
America’s most influential newspapers, which were under the control of Morgan and
Rockefeller. The objective of the campaign was to sell the American public on the merits of
America entering the war on the side of Britain and France. J. P. Morgan had already gained
control of the twenty-five most influential newspapers in the US. Thus, he was able to control or
sway public opinion in America. Congressman Oscar Callaway was aware of Morgan’s control
of the press and inserted the following statement in the Congressional Record on February 9,
1917:
In March 1915, the J. P. Morgan interests… and their subsidiary
organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed
them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient
number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press of the United
States. These 12 men worked the problem out by selecting 179 newspapers, and
then began, by an elimination process, to retain only those necessary for the
purpose of controlling the general policy of the daily press throughout the
country. They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the
greatest papers. The 25 papers were agreed upon; emissaries were sent to
purchase the policy, national and international, of these papers; an agreement was
reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; and
editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information
regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other
things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the
purchasers. This contract is in existence at the present time, and it accounts for the
news columns of the daily press of the country being filled with all sorts of
preparedness arguments….

Others testified of even greater control of the press by Morgan, one of these was an
employee of Morgan’s. Charles S. Mellon, an employee of the Morgan owned New Haven
Railroad, testified before Congress that the “railroad had more than one-thousand New England
newspapers on the payroll, costing about $400,000 annually.” Morgan exercised additional
control with his advertising dollars, which were more than any other “single financial group.”

Next in line with advertising dollars to spend were the Rockefellers. Ferdinand Lundberg
