The Elkhorn Manifesto
SHADOW OF THE SWASTIKA
By R. William Davis
An Open Letter to All Americans
The Real Reason the Government Won't Debate Medical Cannabis
and Industrial Hemp Re-legalization
Documented Evidence of a Secret Business and Political Alliance
Between the U.S. "Establishment" and the Nazis
- Before, During and After World War II - up to the Present.
PREFACE
Before the Gatewood Galbraith for Governor Campaign in 1991,
few Kentuckians knew that the plant that the federal government
had demonized for over 50 years as "Marijuana - Assassin of Youth,"
was, in fact, Cannabis Hemp, the most traded commodity in the world
until the mid-1800s, and our state's number one crop, industry,
and most important source of revenue, for over 150 years.
Today, thanks to the efforts of pioneer hemp researchers and public advocates such as Galbraith, Jack Fraizer, Jack Herer, Chris Conrad,
Ed Rosenthal, Don Wirtshafter and others, the federal government's unjustifiable suppression of our state's right to develop our most valuable and versatile natural resource, is facing increasing
opposition from an informed public. Hemp is now recognized
as the number one agriculturally renewable raw material in the world,
and perhaps the only crop / industry which can guarantee us industrial
and economic independence from the trans-national corporations.
"Shadow of the Swastika" is a follow-up to my earlier work, "Cannabis Hemp: the Invisible Prohibition Revealed,"
which I wrote and published in support of the Galbraith Campaign.
Since publication of that booklet, there has been growing
public acceptance of the evidence that Marijuana Prohibition
was created in 1937, not to protect society from the
"evils of the drug Marijuana," as the Federal government claimed,
but as an act of deliberate economic and industrial sabotage
against the re-emerging Industrial Hemp Industry.
Previous investigations by hemp researchers have been limited
to the suppression of free-market competition from the hemp industry,
and focused on the activities of three prominent members
of America's corporate, industrial and banking establishment
during the mid- to late-1930s:
WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST, the newspaper and magazine tycoon.
The expected rebirth of cannabis hemp as a less expensive source
of pulp for paper meant his millions of acres of prime timberland,
and investment in wood pulp papermaking equipment, would soon
be worth much less. In the 1920s, about the same time as the equipment
was developed to economically mass-produce raw hemp into pulp
and fiber for paper, he began the "Reefer Madness" hoax
in his newspaper and magazine publications.
ANDREW MELLON, founder of the Gulf Oil Corporation.
He knew that cannabis hemp was an alternative industrial raw material
for the production of thousands of products, including fuel
and plastics, which, if allowed to compete in the free-market,
would threaten the future profits of the oil companies.
As Secretary of the Treasury he created the Federal Bureau
of Narcotics, and appointed his own future nephew-in-law,
Harry Anslinger, as director. Anslinger would later use
the sensational, and totally fabricated, articles published
by Hearst, to push the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 through Congress,
which successfully destroyed the rebirth of the cannabis hemp industry.
A prominent member of one Congressional subcommittee who voted
in favor of this bill was Joseph Guffey of Pennsylvania,
an oil tycoon and former business partner of Andrew Mellon
in the Spindletop oil fields in Texas.
THE DU PONT CHEMICAL CORPORATION,
which owned the patents on synthetic petrochemicals and industrial processes that promised billions of dollars in future profits
from the sale of wood pulp paper, lead additives for gasoline,
synthetic fibers and plastics, if hemp could be suppressed.
At the time, du Pont family influence in both government
and the private sector was unmatched, according to historians
and journalists.
This publication, however, reveals documented historical evidence
that the suppression of the hemp industry was only one key part
of a much larger conspiracy in the 1930s, not only by
the 3 corporate interests named above, but by many others, as well.
Congressional records, FBI reports and investigations
by the Justice Department, during the 1930s and 1940s, have already documented evidence of this wider plot. A list of the corporations
named include Du Pont, Standard Oil, and General Motors, all of
which were proven to be conspiring with Nazi industrial cartels to eliminate competition world-wide and divide among themselves the Earth's industrial resources and commercial markets, for profitable exploitation.
This conspiracy succeeded. It is now obvious that this lack
of serious competition in the industrial raw materials market caused
our present - and totally contrived - addiction to petrochemicals.
Its success is directly responsible for the most troubling problems
we now face in the 1990s; serious damage to our environment,
concentration of economic and political power into fewer
and fewer hands, and the weakening of the rights of individuals
and states to determine their own futures.
It is more and more evident that, given the historical record,
the structure of the New World Order is being built upon
the Foundation of Marijuana Prohibition, and only
the relegalization of free-market hemp competition can save us.

INTRODUCTION
To clearly understand the circumstances which existed during
the 1930s and 1940s, and are the subject of this booklet,
it would be helpful to first put the hemp / petrochemical conflict
into historical perspective. The events which took place in the years leading up to World War II were a continuation of a struggle between agricultural and industrial interests that began before the American Revolution, a struggle which has yet to be decided, even today.
AGRICULTURE VS. INDUSTRY
The historical record, at least as it has been presented to us in the public school system, is that the Civil War was fought to end slavery. This is not the whole story. The truth of the matter is that it was also
a clash between Northern industrialists and Southern agriculturists,
over control of the expansion into the newly opened West.
In 1845, Abraham Lincoln wrote, "I hold it a paramount duty of us
in the free states due to the union of the states, and perhaps
to liberty itself, to let the slavery of other states alone." (1)
Concerning the Western territories, he said "The whole Nation is interested that the best use shall be made of these territories.
We want them for homes and free white people. This they cannot be,
to any considerable extent, if slavery be planted within them." (2)
Lincoln was caught in the middle between the Northern industrialists
and the Southern agriculturists, who both wanted to dominate Western expansion because of the wealth it offered. The industrialists knew
that the agriculturists depended on slavery because cotton,
upon which Southern wealth was based, was very labor intensive and required the inexpensive labor that slavery provided. They knew that
if the Western lands were declared "free states" then the Southern agriculturists would be unable to compete, and would be forced
to leave Western expansion, and its potential profits,
to the Northern industrialists.
Quoting "The Irony of Democracy," by Thomas R. Dye and T. Harmon Zeigler,
"The importance of the Civil War for America's elite structure
was the commanding position that the new industrial capitalists won
during the course of the struggle. The economic transformation of the
United States from an agricultural to an industrial nation reached the
crescendo of a revolution in the second half of the nineteenth century.
"Civil War profits compounded the capital of the industrialists
and placed them in a position to dominate the economic life
of the nation. Moreover, when the Southern planters were removed
from the national scene, the government in Washington
became the exclusive domain of the new industrial leaders." (3)
The Northern industrialists used this increased capital to build
the system of transcontinental railways, linking the Northeast
with both the South and West. The labor for this undertaking
was from the Northeastern Establishment's own source of cheap labor
- recently freed slaves and poor immigrants from Europe and China
- who suffered under living conditions which were often little better
than those which existed under the Slave System just a few years before.
It was during the years between the Civil War and the beginning
of the Twentieth Century that the Northern industrialists altered
the role of the American government. Originally established
by the Revolution to protect and preserve the lives, property
and freedoms of all Americans from repressive government,
it was transformed into an agency to protect
the economic future of Northern industrialists.
"The industrial elites," according to Dye and Zeigler,
"saw no objection to legislation if it furthered their success in business.Unrestricted competition might prove who was the fittest,
but as an added precaution to insure that the industrial capitalists
themselves emerged as the fittest, these new elites also insisted upon
government subsidies, patents, tariffs, loans, and massive giveaways of land and other natural resources." (4)
The struggle between Western farmers and the railroads
owned by the Northern industrialists is a good example.
To protect their interests, citizens created "the Grange,"
an organization which helped to enact state laws regulating the "ruthless aggression" of the railroads. In 1877, these laws
were upheld by the Supreme Court in the Munn v. Illinois decision.
But, a few years later, Justice Stephen A. Field changed the role,
and the very definition, of the corporation. He gave a new
interpretation to the Fourteenth Amendment that actually gave
corporations legal status as citizens . . . as artificial persons. (5)
It was not long after this change in the interpretation
of the Fourteenth Amendment that John D. Rockefeller, the father
of the modern-day corporation, created the great Standard Oil
Corporation which, by the late 1880s, gained control over 90%
of all the oil refineries in America. (6)
The roots of 20th Century American politics can best be illustrated
by the 1896 Presidential Election, won by Republican William McKinley
by a landslide. The McKinley campaign was directed
by Marcus Alonzo Hanna of Standard Oil and raised a $16,000,000
campaign fund from wealthy fellow industrialists, (an amount
that was unmatched in Presidential campaigns until the 1960s).
The major theme of the campaign, and one that would echo far into
the future, was "what's good for business is good for the country." (7)
This emerging political and judicial misuse of power in America
was feared by Thomas Jefferson who, in 1787, wrote,
"I think our governments will remain virtuous for many centuries; as long as they remain chiefly agricultural; and this will be as long as there shall be vacant lands in any part of America. When they get piled upon one another in large
cities as in Europe they will become corrupt as in Europe." ( 8 )
It is important to remember that the American Revolution was
a clash between the agriculturists in the colonies, and the British
industrialists who controlled the government in England.
Almost 100 years later the Civil War was fought as a continuation
of the same basic struggle, but with the victory going back
to the industrialists. This began the erosion of the American government "of the people, for the people and by the people."
The buying of the 1896 Presidential Election, by Hanna of Standard Oil
and the Northern industrial interests, was the next important step
on the long road to the American government
- "of the corporation,- for the corporation - and - by the corporation."
A few years later, World War I would forge an even closer relationship between corporations and government in the United States,
as well as around the world. Anthony Sampson, in his book
"The Arms Bazaar," notes that "the American companies,
led by US Steel and du Pont, were transformed by war orders. US Steel, which had absorbed Carnegie's old steel company, had made average annual profits in the four pre-war years of $105 million, while in the four war years they were $240 million; and du Pont's average profit went up from $6 million to $58 million. . . .
"Certainly the arms companies had become much richer through the war,
and there were widespread suspicions that they were actually
trying to prolong it." (9)
The bottom line is, of course, victory or profit,
and in what proportions? To what lengths would this nation's top industrial leaders go to secure their share of the profits
before and during the next "war to end all war?"

This conspiracy succeeded. It is now obvious that this lack
of serious competition in the industrial raw materials market caused
our present - and totally contrived - addiction to petrochemicals.
Its success is directly responsible for the most troubling problems
we now face in the 1990s; serious damage to our environment,
concentration of economic and political power into fewer
and fewer hands, and the weakening of the rights of individuals
and states to determine their own futures.
nail on the head
