AS OF 2016, THE BROWN BROTHERS HARRIMAN BANK HAD ASSETS OF $4.2 TRILLION!! |
On July 4, 1776, the New Jerusalem was reborn in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. That was the greatest day since October 31, 1517:
You have increased the nation O JEHOVAH, you have increased the nation, you are glorified: you have removed it far unto the ends of the earth (Isaiah 26:15).
The port city of Philadelphia was an excellent site for the new nation's capital because of its proximity to the sea, and midway between the northern and southern states.

Lucifer, Satan, or Apollyon was not standing idly by while the Jewish Messiah reestablished Israel in the Wilderness. A Supreme Court, a bank, and a "deadly" doctor were parting presents to the newborn Republic from Lord Conwallis.

Dr. Benjamin Rush of London and Philadelphia designed a chair to torture good King George III. He assisted thousands of the citizens of Philadelphia to meet their Maker.

That was the main reason why Philadelphia was abandoned as the new nation's capital, and a defenseless, malaria filled swamp named Washington City became the new capital. Nicholas Biddle and his fellow banksters were delighted with the move because elected government officials would not be looking over their shoulders.
Brown Brothers became the recipient of the funds of the defunct Second Bank of the United States
Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (BBH) is the oldest and one of the largest private bank in the United States. In 1931, the merger of Brown Brothers & Co. (founded in 1818) and Harriman Brothers & Co. formed the current BBH. Assets Under Custody $4.2 trillion, September 30, 2016.

The Merchant's Exchange Bldg was the forerunner of the New York Stock Exchange. |
From that time onward, New York City began to replace Baltimore and Philadelphia as the leading port in the new and growing nation. With the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, that dominant position was guaranteed.
Brown Brothers financed the rebels and built the Confederate raiders in Liverpool
During the Civil War, the Brown Brothers Bank financed the rebels, and their branch in Liverpool built the fearsome CSS Alabama commerce raider.

The Gilded Age robber barons were financed by the Brown Brothers Bank
Mark Twain called the time after the Civil War the Guilded Age. It was a time of unprecedented economic growth and massive Roman Catholic immigration from Europe. It was also the time that the robber barons created huge industrial combines.
Andrew Carnegie (1835–1919). |

John D. Rockefeller (1839–1937). |
By 1911, the Standard Oil Company was a colossus, so the Supreme Court ordered that the company be dissolved into 34 divisions. The octopus was broken up, but all the division still banked with Brown Brothers. 2 of the divisions later became Standard Oil of New Jersey (Esso), and Standard Oil of New York ( Mobil). Those 2 companies later merged and became known as ExxonMobil
J. P Morgan (1837–1913). |

Edward Henry Harriman (1948–1909). |
A lesser known robber baron was a railroad tycoon named Edward Henry Harriman. By being discreet, he was able to keep his nefarious financial misdeeds out of the newspapers.
Brown Brothers became Brown Brothers Harriman in 1931
It was right after the beginning of the Great Depression that Brown Brothers merged with the Harriman railroad empire.

59 Wall St. was the HQ of Brown Brothers Harriman. |
While the rest of the nation was suffering from the dire effects of the Great Depression, the new bank prospered because real estate could be purchased cheaply. They already owned Pennsylvania, so they added Arkansas and West Virginia to their portfolios.

Prescott Bush (1895–1972). |
Germany was flat broke after WWI, and they were forced to pay huge war reparations to France. Miraculously, when Hitler came to power, money seemed to grow on trees. Prescott Bush was the bank's liaison with Nazi Germany . . . and he carried out his duties with great enthusiasm.
Averell Harriman financed the Presidential campaign of his daughter Hillary Clinton
Averell Harriman first met courtesan Pamela Churchill in 1941, when he was working to enlist the U.S. as an ally of Britain against Winston's cousin Adolf Hitler.
Pamela got pregnant in April 1946, and then she sailed to New York to have the baby. Amazingly, the baby was adopted by a couple named Hugh and Dorothy Rodham, who lived in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Scranton Pennsylvania just happens to be a Jesuit stronghold.
Hugh and Dorothy then handed baby Hillary over to their son Hugh, and his wife Dorothy, who lived in Chicago, Illinois. 3 years later the Rodhams had enough money to buy a house in an upscale suburb named Park Ridge.

At that time, Pamela and Hillary realized that the job was only half done when Bill was President and Hillary was just First Lady. Both of them knew that Brown Brothers Harriman had enough "filty lucre" to reverse the roles, and make Hillary the first female President.
