Taking Back Our Stolen History

Pauley, Edwin W.

A mentor to Henry Kissinger, a big oil tycoon, and warlord banker who had in insatiable lust for gold, oil, and money and used his governmental positions (DNC treasurer and director, Truman and Roosevelt appointee on influential committees) to become extraordinarily rich, along with his friends. It was essentially Pauley and close friends Allen Dulles and John D. Rockefeller that established the original deep state. He sold one of his oil companies to Rockefeller and later joined with George Bush Sr. in CIA front company Zapata Oil. Pauley’s actions supported the “spoils” of the Ottoman Empire being divided between the British, French, and Russians and the oil wars that ensued empowering the U.S. Federal Reserve, the CFR, the UN, the World Bank, the IMF, and the BIS as well as many CIA front companies that became some of the richest companies in the world – all together the machinery that now constitute the financial branch of the New World Order.

Following in the footsteps of his mentor Charles Dawes, Edwin Pauley oversaw assigning and collecting war reparations after WWII as Dawes had done after WWI.  Dawes charged Germany and her allies huge unpayable reparations that lead Germany into WWII due to the unjust and greedy demands and because of the nature of Article 231 – the “guilt” clause.

Pauley was the archetypal warlord banker who had in insatiable lust for gold, oil, and money and used his governmental positions to become extraordinarily rich. Edwin Pauley’s greed was far beyond that of Charles Dawes. Pauley was first a banker and then an oil man who sold one of his oil companies to Rockefeller and later joined with George Bush Sr. in Zapata Oil, a company that became a front for the Central Intelligence Agency.

Pauley was the key player during and after WWII in controlling currencies, assets, oil, gas, gold, and war reparations (national debt). Pauley was fully in charge of the “spoils of war” after WWII. His actions continued to empower the U. S. Federal Reserve, the Council on Foreign Relations, the United Nations, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the Bank of International Settlements. These organizations evolved into the machinery that now constitute the financial branch of the New World Order. 

It was the negligence of Pauley’s mentor, Charles Dawes, that allowed the tenants of the secret Sykes-Picot Treaty (1916) and the Brest-Litovsk Treaty (1918) to go unchallenged because Woodrow Wilson could not get the Treaty of Versailles, the Fourteen Points, or the League of Nations ratified by the Versailles Peace Talks or the U. S. Congress.

The Sykes-Picot Treaty divided the Ottoman Empire into Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, Israel, Iran, and Iraq and assigned those countries to the winners of WWI, except for the United States.  This set the “stage” for Middle Eastern chaos which was the imperialistic parceling out of the spoils of war and the rich oil resources each country possessed.

There was no consideration for the people who lived in those countries, their well-being, or a just consideration for the resources that the countries themselves should benefit from, instead of the conquering nations who claimed everything of value for themselves. These arbitrary and greedy decisions have led to a continuing series of “oil wars.” They also allowed Pauley to divide the oil resources between his friends who were warlord bankers and oil barons, assuring that Pauley himself got his profits.

Pauley learned from Charles Dawes how to starve and control a defeated nation and fleece its assets. He learned from his close friend Allen Dulles, who started the OSS (Office of Special Services) which became the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), how to confiscate the spoils of war and turn them into CIA fronts that launder confiscated gold, currencies, assets, and oil into the open market. Edwin Pauley made sure that the CIA had control of the U. S. Treasury’s Exchange Stabilization Fund so that it could control the laundered spoils and ensure that currency wars would be controlled by the CIA.

PAULEY AND ALLEN DULLES WORKED TOGETHER CLOSELY TO ESTABLISH THE ORIGINAL DEEP STATE THAT CONTROLS THE U. S. ECONOMY AND ITS WARS.

Edwin Pauley was also a friend and associate of the richest American of all times, John D. Rockefeller, who had control of 85% of the oil used in WWI. Dawes and Pauley made sure that the Rockefellers got their share of oil profits throughout WWI and WWII.

Throughout WWII, Pauley worked with corrupt bankers like Prescott Bush (George Bush Sr.’s father) to finance the war. Pauley was a double agent openly working for America but secretly working for his own profits and the profits of his close friends, which including the Nazis. Some of Pauley’s friends became rich beyond imagination and Dulles’s CIA took control of untold amounts of war spoils from Germany and Japan who had stolen them from every country they conquered during both world wars. The gold spoils alone made the CIA corporate “fronts” some of the richest companies in the world. Dawes and Pauley had fleeced the world and built an unstoppable CIA “company” that was secret and could manipulate world markets, currencies, oil, and “oil futures,” which were invented by his friend John Rockefeller.

Edwin Pauley was an evil genius whose efforts continue to harm the world and advance the corporate imperialism of globalists, especially Big Oil Barons. Pauley’s manipulation of oil markets was the blueprint for Henry Kissinger to lead OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) to manipulate world economies at will through an imaginary belief in U.S. fiat currency which drove the petro-dollar to dominate the world for decades. Pauley weaponized the power of Big Oil barons to take over global wealth and terrorize the world with “oil wars” that continue to this day.

Essentially, Edwin Pauley was the original “Godfather” of Rockefeller, Dulles, Kissinger, Bush Sr., and the 128 Rothschild controlled central banks throughout the world. No one person has ever had the power and control over the global agenda that Edwin Pauley had for forty years. Henry Kissinger, George Bush Sr., George Soros, and the rest of the die-hard globalist are simply good students of Edwin Pauley, the oil mafia Godfather. 

Edwin Pauley was an oil magnate who advised presidents and organized the nation’s first comprehensive petroleum policy. Along the way, he gained great power in the Democratic Party. Pauley founded the Petrol Corporation, an independent petroleum producer, in 1928. He later sold the company to Rockefeller’s Standard Oil. In 1958, he incorporated Pauley Petroleum Inc., serving as chairman of the board, and teamed up with Howard Hughes to expand oil production in the Gulf of Mexico through a highly productive offshore petroleum reserves.

Pauley became involved with the Democratic Party as a fundraiser in 1930s, eventually becoming treasurer of the Democratic National Committee. In the summer of 1944, while treasurer of the DNC, Pauley was part of a group that persuaded Roosevelt to choose Truman over Henry Wallace as the vice-presidential nominee. To thank him, President Roosevelt chose Pauley to be Washington’s petroleum manager at the onset of World War II, coordinating lend-lease supplies to Britain and the Soviet Union.

After the war, Pauley served as the American representative on the Allied Reparations Commission from 1945-1947. Pauley traveled to Europe and Asia to assess what reparations the defeated Axis powers could afford to pay the victors. He served in Truman’s ‘kitchen cabinet’ and later advised Presidents Kennedy and Johnson.

Some political offices that Pauley held were:

  • 1941 – Petroleum Coordinator for War in Europe on petroleum lend-lease supplies for Russia and England
  • 1941 – Secretary of the Democratic National Committee
  • 1942-48 – Treasurer of the Democratic National Committee
  • 1944 – Director of the Democratic National Convention
  • 1944-48 – Democratic National Committeeman
  • 1945-47 – U.S. Representative on the Reparations Commission as Ambassador
  • 1947 – Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Army
  • 1947-48 – Adviser to the Secretary of State on reparations

Edwin Pauley worked together with Dulles as a covert CIA agent in the Roosevelt and Truman administrations. Pauley also had the loyalty of President Truman, especially for his role in getting him the delegate numbers to replace Henry Wallace as vice president in 1944, which ultimately took Truman to the White House when Roosevelt died in 1945.

Pauley was always committed to profit and, like the Dulles brothers, did not distinguish between his own interests and his public duties. During World War II he was in the perfect position to assist the Dulles brothers in their Nazi oil deals. Pauley organized the Petroleum Administration for War, and more important for Allen Dulles, Pauley also held the key position of Petroleum Coordinator of Lend-Lease Supplies for the Soviet Union and Britain while he secretly pushed his own private oil interests in Mexico. After the war, Pauley became partners with an independent oil producer named George H. W. Bush.

When Truman tried to appoint him Under Secretary of the Navy in 1946, Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes resigned in protest, claiming that while Pauley was Treasurer of the Democratic National Committee, he had suggested to Ickes that $300,000 ($4.17 million in 2018 dollars) in campaign funds could be raised if the Interior Department would drop its fight against the State of California for ownership of oil-rich offshore lands. Ickes’s resignation scuttled the appointment, and Pauley worked behind the scenes thereafter.

Truman appointed Pauley to be the industrial and commercial adviser to the Potsdam Conference where his chief task was to renegotiate the reparations agreements formulated at Yalta. There was a lot of money involved, and much of it belonged to the Dulles brothers’ clients who were shifting Nazi assets out of Europe. They didn’t want the Soviets to get their hands on these assets or even know they had existed. Pauley played a significant role in solving this problem for the Dulles brothers. The major part of Nazi Germany’s industrial assets was in the zones occupied by the West’s forces. Pauley managed to deceive the Soviets for long enough to allow Allen Dulles to spirit much of the remaining Nazi assets out of the country.

Pauley was then given the job of surveying Japan’s assets and determining the amount of its war debt. Again, it was another job that was crucial to the Dulles secret financial and intelligence operations.

In 1958, Pauley founded Pauley Petroleum and teamed up with Howard Hughes to expand oil production in the Gulf of Mexico. Pauley Petroleum discovered a highly productive offshore petroleum reserve and in 1959 became involved in a dispute with the Mexican Government, which considered the royalties from the wells to be too low. Hughes and Pauley were working for the CIA from time to time while advancing their own financial interests in the lucrative Mexican oil fields.

Pauley invented an intelligence money-laundering system in Mexico, which was refined in the 1970s as part of Nixon’s Watergate scandal. At one point CIA agents used Pemex, the Mexican government’s oil monopoly, as a business cover at the same time Pemex was being used as a money laundry for Pauley’s campaign contributions. Mexico became part of the “revolving door” between the oil industry and the intelligence community. Pauley was the originator of the use of Mexican oil fronts to create a slush fund for Richard Nixon’s various campaigns.

In the mid-1950s, Bush established Zapata Petroleum and leased oil rigs to Edwin Pauley and took a commission from all the oil Pauley pumped out of the Gulf of Mexico. Pauley was George Bush’s most important customer and close friend. The deals Bush cut with Pauley in Mexico catapulted him into political life. In 1960, Bush became a protégé of Richard Nixon, who was then running for president of the United States.

Bush’s Zapata oil company caught the attention of Allen Dulles, who was the man who recruited Bush’s company as a part-time purchasing front for the CIA. Zapata provided commercial supplies for one of Dulles’s most notorious operations, the Bay of Pigs invasion. Bush started working for the agency in 1960 using his oil business as a cover for clandestine activities. Bush described Nixon as his “mentor,” and in 1972, Nixon appointed Bush as head of the Republican National Committee to maintain Pauley’s corrupt campaign donation scheme.

It was Bush who told Nixon that the Watergate investigations might start uncovering the skeletons in the Republican party’s closet. Bush told Nixon that he could not shift the blame for the Mexican slush fund to the CIA without wrecking the intelligence community. Bush himself acknowledged that he wrote Nixon a letter asking him to step down. The day after Bush did so, Nixon resigned. Bush had hoped to become Gerald Ford’s vice president upon Nixon’s resignation, but he was appointed U.S. ambassador to the UN (New World Order) and Nelson Rockefeller became vice president.

Pauley had also taught Bush how to launder money through corporate subsidiaries to be used for political payoffs as well as in financing of campaigns. Both Pauley and Bush used this system to finance Richard Nixon’s presidential campaigns, and it was this laundering scheme which was discovered after the 1972 election, when a check drawn on a Mexican bank account of a subsidiary of a Houston corporation controlled by Bush’s friends appeared in the Miami bank account of a Watergate plumber. The Nixon tapes revealed that the financing scheme could blow the lid of the “whole Bay of Pigs Thing.”

In 1975, Bush was brought back to become head of the CIA. After all, he had previous experience with protecting the Agency from the Watergate investigation.

Key points to consider:

  • Prescott Bush worked with Allen Dulles to finance the Third Reich and then, when war broke out, cloaked their activities under the cover of intelligence operations.
  • George Bush Sr. established an oil leasing business in Texas, the biggest client of which was Edwin Pauley, Dulles’s confidant, Nixon’s bagman, and a front man for CIA money laundering. Bush himself played a minor role in CIA covert operations from the early 1960s.
  • Through Pauley, Nixon recruited Bush to handle a variety of sensitive assignments. Bush later asked Nixon to resign for fear that the Watergate investigations might uncover further scandals.

In 1965, Pauley was serving as a Regent at the University of California, when anti-Vietnam war campus protests began to grow. At Pauley’s request, CIA Director John McCone met with FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover on January 28 and Hoover agreed to leak to Pauley information about UC System President Clark Kerr. (See memo regarding McCone’s request to meet with Hoover. McCone graduated from UC Berkeley in 1922, the year before Pauley.) At that meeting, McCone told Hoover that Pauley was very upset about the “situation at Berkeley“, and was “anxious to get a line on any persons who are communists or have communist associations, either on the faculty or in the student body.” As soon as McCone left his office, Hoover phoned Los Angeles FBI chief Wesley Grapp, and ordered him to give Pauley anonymous memos on regents, faculty members, and students who were “causing trouble at Berkeley.” Hoover admonished Grapp, “It must be impressed upon Mr. Pauley that this data is being furnished in strict confidence.”

Five days later (February 2) Grapp met with Pauley for two hours at his office in the Pauley Petroleum Building in Los Angeles. Grapp provided him information from FBI files on other Regents, faculty, and students who were considered “ultra-liberal.” The CIA and FBI worked in conjunction with Ronald Reagan, who sought to mount a “psychological warfare campaign” against the budding Free Speech Movement and anti-war sit-ins, including using tax-evasion and “any other available” charges in which the FBI agreed to assist. “This has been done in the past, and has worked quite successfully,” Hoover noted.

(This information was not made public until 2002, after a fifteen-year legal battle with the FBI that went all the way to the US Supreme Court, as a result of a FOIA request for an in-depth San Francisco Chronicle investigation. The FBI had claimed it needed to maintain secrecy to “protect law enforcement operations.” The National Security Act of 1947 bars the CIA from engaging in domestic intelligence activities.)

Pauley began the February 2, 1965 meeting with Grapp by saying he was upset about the Free Speech Movement and recalled that “obnoxious question… concerning the FBI being a secret police” (referring to a 1959 entry exam question.) He told Grapp he had “no use for [UC President] Kerr” and had accused Kerr of being a “communist or a communist follower.” Pauley explained that the 24-member Board of Regents was divided and that his faction wanted “strong positive action taken immediately to clean up the mess.” The problem, he said, was that so far he’d been unable to muster the votes to fire Kerr. He blamed the impasse on three “ultra-liberal” regents who staunchly backed Kerr. Governor Pat Brown (D)) had named to the board: William Coblentz (Brown’s former special counsel); William M. Roth (member of the ACLU executive committee); and Elinor Raas Heller (member of the Democratic National Committee).

Pauley told Grapp that in the 1950s the FBI secretly gave the university reports on professors it was considering hiring. He said he wanted to restore the procedure—which the FBI had code-named the Responsibilities Program—and offered to pay someone to check FBI files. After obtaining Pauley’s promise not to reveal that the FBI was his source, Grapp handed him Hoover’s memos. Pauley quickly read one. “This is perfect,” he said. “This is just what I need.” It was a three-page report on UC Berkeley immunology professor Leon Wofsy that summarized news stories from 1945 to 1956, noting that Wofsy had been a self-avowed Communist Party official who tried to get young people involved with the party. (The report failed to note that since 1957 the FBI had found no evidence that Wofsy had been involved with the party.)

Two days later, Grapp reported to Hoover that Pauley would be “an excellent source of information” about internal university affairs. Pauley could use his influence to curtail, harass and at times eliminate ‘radical’ (doublespeak for those exercising their free speech right to protest unnecessary wars) members on the faculty and on the Board of Regents (today, UC-Berkeley is probably the most liberal and anti-free speech Universities in the U.S.). About a week later, Grapp secretly gave Pauley verbal reports containing confidential information about regents Coblentz, Roth and Heller—even though they had fully disclosed it to the bureau and held top-level security clearances. Pauley, Grapp reported to Hoover, was “most appreciative” of the information on his opponents. As Pauley saw it, according to Grapp’s report, UC would remain in turmoil “as long as the current officials were in power at the university.”

That fall, thousands of students joined the escalating protests (probably part of Operation Chaos – a CIA led counter to the anti-war movement). Pauley and the FBI claimed it was proof that Kerr had lost control of the university. Pauley confided to Grapp that two alumni were taking things into their own hands. They had recruited athletes to “beat up the demonstrators” and hired a barber to “forcibly ‘shear’ the students who need it.” Grapp continued to slip Pauley anonymous memos about students and faculty—at least two dozen more—that he could use in persuading the regents to fire Kerr. But in October, a frustrated Pauley told Grapp he was still “two votes short to fire Clark Kerr.” Kerr would remain in charge of the university, it seemed, as long as Brown remained governor.

When Ronald Reagan was elected California’s governor in 1966, after campaigning against “campus malcontents and filthy speech advocates” at Berkeley, one of his first moves was to fire Kerr. Reagan’s Legal Affairs Secretary, Herbert Ellingwood, met with FBI agent Cartha “Deke” DeLoach at FBI Headquarters, and noted that Reagan was “dedicated to the destruction of disruptive elements on college campuses.
