Varon, Beschloss and Brinkley Scorn Wigglesworth

Dr.  Lowell P. Wigglesworth’s Thesis Supported by Dr. Max Pierre Revue’
By Justin Nicholas Tyme for CPW News Service


     When Dr. Lowell P. Wigglesworth was fired for asserting that his doctoral thesis was widely accepted by his credentialing institution, only to be censored and then removed from his pending full professorship he was unable to find supportive A-list academics who would come to his defense.
    “I knew my thesis was dead on when that happened,” said Wigglesworth.
     Presidential historians Michael Beschloss and Doug Brinkley were nowhere to be found.  “Brinkley is probably sitting in on an Engelhardt or Capaldi seminar at this very moment.  I had hopes that my thesis would be widely accepted and seen as a breakthrough in original historical research, but I was left out there to dangle alone in the wasteland of unaccepted assertions,” said Wigglesworth noting that Michael Beschloss's wife had worked for the World Bank, Morgan Bank and Carlyle Group.
     “Elizabeth Varon wasn’t any more help than Beschloss or Brinkley, but then what should I expect?  Beschloss is married to the Carlyle Group and Brinkley is from Rice and Tulane,” said Wigglesworth adding "they would have been about as helpful to me as Graham Spanier was to the boys in the Penn State locker room.  Varon was at Virginia and Yale.  Carlyle Group and the U.S. military war racket are riveted at the ball-joints and Tulane is knee deep in Exxon's Corexit while Rice was home to chemical engineer and Rice President, Kenneth Pitzer    Pitzer threw poor old Oppenheimer under a tank track for refusing to build a really fat ‘Fat Boy’…..the hydrogen bomb,” said Wigglesworth.
     "At issue for Wigglesworth is his Ph.D. thesis:  The Civil War was fought to fund the Transcontinental Railroad.  William Tecumseh Sherman, credited as he was for destroying the South's main supply route from Atlanta to Savannah, was actually destroying the Eastern terminus of a Southern Transcontinental Railroad line that ended in San Diego, California.  Surveyed by Jefferson Davis during  the 1850’s, the Southern power elites' China Trade ambitions were cut off in the lowland passes by using the high moral ground of Abolitionism, a motive negated by the enslaving power of opium and the public and black markets in addictive products, like Southern tobacco, which each desired to control. 
      Of supreme importance to Wigglesworth's thesis is his assertion that a January 20, 1861 letter from Jefferson Davis to Franklin Pierce supplies the smoking gun of an alliance between Davis, Pierce and New England opium merchant and China Trader, Caleb Cushing found in the Jefferson Davis Project at Rice University, Houston, Texas.
     "Iran-Contra's drugs for weapons scandal proved that for over 150 years the game has not changed.  America's wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan...prime poppy growing regions... solidifies Wigglesworth's thesis," said Dr. Maximus Pierre Revue' who supports Wigglesworth's thesis with only minor criticism.  "It's iron-clad," said Revue', "history is nothing more than the chronicling of people's misguided pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain often at other people's expense."
    "That’s right,” said Wigglesworth.  “Shelby Foote said famously….or infamously..... from the viewpoint of any serious historian..... ‘I studied no original documents in my histories of the Civil War.  It has all been covered before.’  Do you know what poppy cock that should be to any serious and honorable historian?” asked Wigglesworth.

     Wigglesworth then in rapid fire succession listed the reasons why American myth has been packaged as truth and why Foote wrote so much about the Civil War.  "It's all chewing gum for the mind's militaristic impulses.  Pumping out a stream of regurgitated Civil War battle scenarios is like replaying the Ali/Frazier fight ad nausea," said Wigglesworth, "a billboard for guns, butter and chaos with the fight promoters still controlling both corners and flapping their towels in the face of their pawns."
     "Will you hear Ken Burns in The Roosevelts: An Intimate History explain that Warren Delano made his money not simply in what Burns called 'The China Trade', but in opium, or that James Roosevelt married Delano's daughter, Roosevelt who was Delano's business partner, having made his fortunes in railroads or that Teddy Roosevelt's mother was a Southern plantation owner from Savannah?  Oh, I tell you the rail race  across America to the Pacific, to the Golden Crescent's flowery mountain high fields and China's trading bazaars was injected into the U.S. blue bloods like butter into a Thanksgiving turkey and Teddy's 'Great White Fleet' was as symbolic of white poppy drool as Moby Dick was of unrestrained pursuit of whatever kills the soul in a witless quest for an anesthetized end, " said Wigglesworth.
     “Whoever controls the prevailing myth controls the nation.  Varon does nothing to tell us that Richmond’s leading Union spy came from Pennsylvania with a father who was in the hardware business, but with ties to railroads like James Moreau Brown in the South who along with his railroad partners employed Braxton Bragg well out of sight until he died.  They certainly didn't want him physically in, say, San Francisco or Sacramento.  Merchants depended on the railroad for their goods, but who controlled the products and shipping?  Never mind that the average right-of-way yielded the railroad barons from between 16 to 24 sections of land per mile with each section containing 640 acres.  Those who had stockpiled and profited from America's arsenal of freedom which was quickly becoming a golden goose gobbling industrial machine," said Wigglesworth.
       "Elizabeth Van Lew focused primarily on infiltrating the Southern railroads.  Her primary source of information came from her contacts with the railroad companies in Richmond and Mary Bowser worked in the Confederate White House spying on Jefferson Davis, or working as Grant's courier to Thomas and Braxton Bragg, until the time was right for the arrival of Sherman's coup de grace.  Who had laid out the Southern Transcontinental Railroad route?  Jeff Davis.  Jefferson Davis had met with the New England China Trader, Boston’s Caleb Cushing who, as Winsip Custer has nicely covered in his article, Romancing The Stoned, negotiated the U.S./Chinese trade agreement that promised not to do to the Chinese what Britain had done....drop Turkish, Indian, Afghanistani and Pakistani opium on the poor Chinese, a tactic that would be replicated in the U.S. with cocaine instead of opium and with inner city youth as evidenced by the Iran-Contra scandal.   Our current wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan as well as our interest in controlling during the Vietnam War China's local poppy growing region, the Golden Triangle, tells you that Cushing's promises were, well, half-hearted or downright deceptive.   Jeff Davis, as Cushing's guest, argued for slavery at Boston's historic Feniel Hall shortly before Frederick Douglas arrived to bolster the Abolitionist cause.  Cushing had lucrative trade routes long established from his family’s connections to the Russell Trust and other U.S. opium traders across the Pacific.  Winsip Custer has built upon my thesis in his article Cain Cushing and Abel Brown.  Even after Braxton Bragg fell into disfavor with many Southerners from the enormous build up Braxton had as the rock star of the Mexican-American war with fans singing 'Give Them More Grape Captain Bragg', which he humorously sought to repair after the Civil War by refusing to surrender with Lee at Appomattox. Bragg was always a key figure in the Richmond White House along with his brother, the Confederacy’s Attorney General,” said Wigglesworth.    "Van Lew's reward for her spying was to be made a U.S. Postal Inspector for Richmond.  "The extensive connection of the U.S. Postal Service to Shanghai's Cornelius Vander Starr and his AIG Insurance and to Pacific Steamship and Mail Company and to the China Traders of New England and to the U.S. Navy and its premier place in U.S. intelligence all underscores what was really going on during the Civil War hidden in plain view under the premise and pretty petticoat of Abolitionism," said Wigglesworth. "This helps us to understand why Lance Armstrong could get by for so long with juicing while on the U.S. Postal Service payroll.

     Sherman's closest colleague in stopping the Southern Transcontinental route to San Diego was Grenville M. Dodge who in 1866 became the chief engineer for the Union Pacific. Dodge had also been instrumental in the Union victory at Vicksburg, Mississippi in the heart of the Mississippi Delta just south of Memphis and the western river hub of the  Confederate rail lines from Texas to the Atlantic.  On the east side of the Mississippi  the Confederate rail system stretched to Savannah.  Grenville Dodge like Mary Bowser's spy ring in Richmond was in charge of the spy ring in Vicksburg.  In 1863 Dodge was in Vicksburg, by 1865 he's leading troops for Sherman at Atlanta and by 1865 Dodge, immediately after Appomattox,  is looking for a pass through the Rocky Mountains that will seal the Northern Transcontinental route to San Francisco for Caleb Cushing and friends.  In 1999 Thomas Layton wrote about the discovery of the New England China trader's ship The Frolic near Fort Bragg in Mendicino County north of San Francisco (Thomas Layton, The Voyage of the Frolic: New England Merchants and the Opium Trade, Stanford University Press, 1999).   Layton discovered that Fred Bailey was working in the Brown Brother's hometown of Baltimore laying opium clipper hulls, perhaps The Frolic's!  Cushing in true fight-promoter fashion had hosted Jeff Davis to speak in favor of slavery in Boston just before Fred Bailey, aka Frederick Douglass, spoke against it.  Do these honorable historians teach us about this and what was the motive of this big bamboozle beside the opium and war profits...the racket of war that continues to this day?

      “The North used the abolition of slavery to either gain the flatter Southern  rail route to the Pacific if the pesky Southerners could be easily bamboozled during Reconstruction..which they couldn't....or with their failure to do that, then to stall the South’s push to the West Coast.  Alexander Brown of Baltimore, Caleb Cushing of Boston and other New England Brahman power elites had already become ‘The Order’ concentrated at Yale in 1833.  They knew that if they did not stop Davis and the South then the Confederates would link up with the Chinese silk and opium and use this revenue stream, combined with their lucrative cotton, to fund their progress for a century.   The Browns of Baltimore baited the South through a slave named James Hamlet who worked at the Brown's Merchant Shot Tower.   His story triggered the fugitive slave laws that accelerated the push toward war.  Hamlet.  Get it?  A walking billboard for human rights and freedom.....'to be or not to be!'  John Brown the abolitionist was backed by Boston’s George Luther Stearns whose family ties were to Abel Stearns in California.   Abel married the heiress of the oldest vineyard in California while George Luther Stearns in Boston sold lead bullets and hoped to corner the lead market.  They knew that if the Southerners got to San Diego first, New York to Omaha would just be a cold rust belt 100 years before it became that anyway,” said Wigglesworth who said that today American jobs have been abandoned by American and Chinese power elites criminal classes that prey on their citizens," said Wigglesworth. 

"I have seen companies that import an Apple IPAD from a Chinese factory that pays its workers a pittance per day to make it, then give one to their associates to track their work and schedule in real time, even charging them a couple of thousand dollars if they lose it.  1984 is a late arriver, but it's here, now.  You have often heard the derogatory statement 'It all went South,' meaning that something bad happened.  You look at the urban decay, the rust-belts across Cushing's industrialized North and Gary Webb's coverage of the CIA's drug pumping into the inner cities and you can just as easily say 'It all went North!", said Wigglesworth recalling the CIA's Iran-Contra airport in Mena, Arkansas during the Clinton Governorship and the Reagan-Bush Iran-Contra Scandal with the Bush connection to the 1833 Northern "Order".

     “The kicker is William Tecumseh Sherman,” said Wigglesworth.  “If my thesis is correct…that Sherman’s march to the sea was not to cut Confederate supply lines, but to destroy the Southern transcontinental rail’s Eastern terminus, you would expect William Tecumseh Sherman to be working before and after  the Civil War somewhere along the developing Transcontinental Railroad route.  Bingo.  In 1859 Sherman was in Sacramento working with George F. Bragg who took his orders from William Chapman Ralston of the Bank of California to control the Sacrament Valley Railroad Company that skirted the San Francisco Bay area and to deliver it into the hands of Leland Stanford (In his last acting part before entering California politics, Ronald Reagan played William Chapman Ralston in an episode of Death Valley Days).  William Tecumseh Sherman had been the Vice President of the Sacramento Valley Railroad before leaving California for the Union Army.   This was the last stretch of the North's rail route along Russell's Pony Express route from Missouri along which also ran the telegraph lines of Samuel F. B. Morse, a cousin of Texan, James Walker Fannin.   The New Order was hedging its bets for a very long time.   So with great protest from the other investors, George F. Bragg delivered the keystone into the hands of the monopolist, Leland Stanford.   Stanford University would become home to the Hoover Institute (Donald Rumsfeld, Condeleeza Rice, Milton Friedman, Edwin Meese, George Schultz and Anthony Sutton) and the Stanford Research Institute (Myron du Bain, the man in The Men Who Stare At Goats in his search for the perfect soldier)…..the caldron for the Order’s witchs' brew of mind science, mass manipulation and scorched earth profiteering,” said Wigglesworth noting that Sutton defected from the Hoover Institute to write America's Secret Establish, National Suicide and other books that have been cited by many including Zbigniew Brzezinski as reliable.   "Don't forget that with Stanford came the rise of the Union Pacific Railroad, E.H. Harriman, Brown Brother Harriman which employed Prescott Bush, the father of two U.S. Presidents whose support of a doctrine of endless warfare has been meticulously groomed.  Mary Harriman's Cold Spring Harbor eugenics agenda guaranteed it," said Wigglesworth noting Edwin Black's landmark War Against the Weak."
     "Dr. Jeffrey Engel of Texas A&M and SMU could not come to my defense either," said Wigglesworth.  "He's an apologist for the Bush legacy who glibly skips over important details of George Herbert Walker Bush's World War II experiences which were laid out in Ivy League Woes: Yale, Yale The Gangs All Here by Bard Willett Williamson.  Engel never dared to raise the issue of the Yale power elites' China Trade connections.  Why go back to dirt? Because that is where this tricky little embryo germinated.  Engel conveniently avoids, as well, what Anthony Sutton says of 'The Order's' connections to a uniquely German dialectic that permeates the secret establishment's ideology never mentioning that Prescott Bush's support of the American 'Business Plot' and German American Bund may have found renewed support in George Herbert Walker Bush's cheers for German reunification in 1987.    When coupled with George Walker Bush's linkage to the rise of the German Thule and Runic Neo-Pagan traditions in Texas as evidenced by the charges leveled in the Jimmy Joste murder case and spelled out in Between the Properline and the Dirty Low Down by Peter Pezonus, the Order's rolling agenda is exposed.  There is much to be concerned about," said Wigglesworth.   

     “You are assuming, I take it, that Shelby Foote had such a fascination with Nathan Bedford Forrest because of Forrest's hatred of Braxton Bragg?” Wigglesworth was asked by Dr. Max Pierre Revue' of the Institute for the Review and Defense of the Rejected Doctoral Thesis in Montreal, Canada.
     “Exactly.  Foote knew that Bragg was a shill for the Northern railroad barons, though Foote could never say that and still be loyal to his mentor, Walker Percy and his family, with Percy's ties to Franklin Pierce…..the Percy and Pierce families bolted together at the breast plate,” said Wigglesworth noting Barbara Pierce Bush's connections to the Walker Percy family.
     “When Herman Melville, who wrote a poem about Sherman's march, the Brahman’s beloved novelist who earlier wrote Moby Dick, he was writing about his benefactors’ irrational, impassioned pursuit of the white drool of the opium poppy, not some bounding ball of finned blubber,” said Wigglesworth noting that Melville's concerns were well founded, but too cryptically expressed.  Nathan Bedford Forrest figured it out and I believe resigned himself to the reality that he had botched his opportunities, was used and abused, not once, but twice....first in the fictitious war against the real blight of slavery and then in their commandeering of the KKK....not unlike our fictitious wars against terrorism and the toxic soup of mixed ambitions that that cluster-fxxx has brewed up.  A man of immense personal empowerment and leadership and who even under slavery was protected by a loyal bevy of black body guards, had he only reread his Bible and asked…..’you mean that this Moses stuff applies to everyone?’ Spartacus resurrected! Shelby Foote knew this about Forrest. If he would have given all Southerners of whatever color and origin eighty acres and two mules and marched North in 1859, or maybe earlier, like just after Jeff Davis returned from laying out the Southern rail route along the Old Santa Fe Trail,” said Wigglesworth, "history would have been as different as that envisioned in Jeff Greenspan's book 43*," said Wigglesworth.

     “There’s a second kicker and that is the fact that to celebrate their brazen plan these members of the Order who would dance in bed sheets, cremate care, piss on the red woods and applaud their ballsy cunning...though Nixon called this Order "the most faggety  gooddamn thing I have ever seen", gathered religiously just west of Sacramento where Sherman and Bragg…..George F. Bragg…..brought it all to fruition.  Just west of Sacramento not far from the Mendocino County Line  is San Francisco and just North of San Francisco is the Bohemian Grove and just north of there is Fort Bragg named after….no, not George F. Bragg…..Braxton!….who like John P. O’Neill or Rick Riscorla, the FBI agent tracking Osama Bin Laden and the hero of We Were Soldiers Once and Young, both died in the 911 disaster in a building guarded by Securacom, the security company on whose board was Marvin P. Bush, George W. Bush’s brother and which was the address of Sidley Austin Brown and Wood, the historic law firm of Mrs. Mary Todd Lincoln and former employer of Mrs. Michele Obama,” said Wigglesworth.

     Wigglesworth noted that Braxton Bragg, the shill whose connections to the Richmond White House and to its spies, Elizabeth Van Lew and Mary Bowser are anybody's guess, died alone on a Texas street corner far from the fame and wealth he perhaps thought his treachery was securing.  His great nephew, C. Wright Mills, a sociologist at Colombia University in New York, grew up on the Texas ranch that lay across the proposed Jefferson Davis railroad route to San Diego.  Mills' book, The Power Elite, chronicles the evolution of the U.S. Military Industrial Complex.  "Bragg's legacy, whose name means literally "braggard", was sacrificed upon the Orders's altar of cremated care like the 600,000 American men and boys,  while the 40 Union Generals who had done Cushings and Sherman’s biding in blue and not gray uniforms....the bidding of Stanford, the Russell’s, Browns and Tafts.... rested peacefully, not on Robert E. Lee's confiscated estate, Arlington National, but beside the progenitor of their New Order…..Alphonso Taft in Cincinnatti, Ohio,” said Wigglesworth who added….”screw Beechloss.  Screw Brinkley.  Screw Varon.  Well, maybe NOT Varon.”

When asked why more Southern historians did not pick up on the glaring singularity of Wiggleworth's assertions he responded that it was because Thomas Bragg was assisted in his work by Albert Pike.   The father of Scottish Rite Masonry in America with the first Pike temple being built in Savannah, Pike became essentially the chief legal counsel for the KKK.  Pike's legacy has been covered nicely in the Sinupson and Zoltaran article Big Ears and Broken Hearts. The ambitions of the Pikians and the Cushians united at that point and  the two criminal enterprises, one New England Puritan Protestant and the other Austrian/German, Pike being a Roman Catholic Jacobite, joined  up with Giuseppe Mazzini's organization from Italy in New Orleans.  Meanwhile the Vatican Bank arrived in San Francisco through Transamerica and Bank of America just as Myron du Bain's Fireman's Fund Insurance Company traded on San Francisco's misery following the 1906 earthquake.  Bank of America would become, during the Henry Paulson bailout, the means of Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner and Smith, receiving billions in tax payers dollars through Ken Lewis who claimed his bank was the only of the "Too Big To Fail" banks that didn't need the money, but who was forced to take it anyway.  The Pierce in Merrill Lynch is also related to Barbara Pierce Bush.  

   "Heinrich Himmler loved the Jesuit Order of the Catholic church as did Hitler.  At that point the American myth was many things, but admitting that it was also a criminal enterprise was THE secret to be kept at all costs as so many bodies in the wake of the Iran-Contra scandal prove," said Wigglesworth.   

     According to Wigglesworth, Pikians worked their way quickly through the short period of Reconstruction that ended with the completion of the Cushian-controlled Central Transcontinental Railroad, onto the boards of American leading colleges and universities which had both church and state backing and where Allen Dulles, on the one hand, and Cardinal Avery Dulles, his cousin, on the other, could influence curriculums. "David D. Colton and Leland Stanford, Colton for the Southern Pacific and Stanford for the Central and Union Pacific got into a nasty pissing contest with Colton buying a bigger Nob Hill home in San Francisco than Stanford.  Stanford never liked Colton and especially not after that.  Colton had partnered with the Phelps family of the Phelps/Dodge mining interests....yes, Grenville Dodge's family....who used the Southern Pacific to transport vast mining reserves across the Great Southwest.  You see that there is really little honor among thieves.  Like Bernie Madoff or World Com executives they were busy impressing each other in the after glow of the profitable Civil War.  The Cushians and their New Order used the Pikians as their rooks and pawns to force compliance of the storyline.  Colton would have been an uppity Pikian who had forgotten his place, but who had not been, as had Lee and Davis, on the losing side in the Civil War. This made the usurping of Washington (had the nation followed Washington's lead in freeing all slaves as he did in 1799 the Civil War would have been avoided) and Franklin whose more egalitarian political enterprise based on York Rite Masonry provides a type of lost semi-utopian memory that people can not reconcile with current realities without my clarion reconstruction of the deconstructed reality," said Wigglesworth.  "Anthony Sutton has said correctly that the U.S. has been at war with itself since 1833," he concluded. 

     "If you look at the leading Southern historians in, say, Arkansas (Walter Lee Brown) and Texas (Walter Prescott Webb), others in Florida and Georgia, you will see the influence of the Pikians picking apart the historical reality to suit their agenda, rewriting the myth to serve their purposes, while attending the Pikian palaces in the South, usually adjacent to the ivy walled fortresses of colleges or state capitals that keep their dark secrets secret," said Wigglesworth noting that these replicate the Cushian palaces on Northern campuses with their cathedral at Yale.   Wigglesworth does not believe that these noted historians do much more than spin the company line.  For example, their historical research does not tell us of the place that Tom Scott had in his ambitions of competing with the earlier Stanford route, nor that with cotton being shipped from West Texas on barges down the Rio Grande River, that an Englishman named Robert Fleming took note of  the need for building the Texas and Rio Grande Railroad.  Robert Fleming was the owner of Fleming's Land and Cattle Company.  The Scottish China Traders Jardine Matheson would also be known as Jardine Fleming when in 1970 Jardine Matheson and Robert Fleming Co. merged with headquarters in Hong Kong.  When Jardine Fleming was bought by JP Morgan in 2000 it was operating in 15 countries, but in the 19th century Jardine Matheson and Robert Fleming invested in the Texas and Rio Grande Railroad on land purchased from Mifflin Kenedy, son of John and Sarah Starr Kenedy.  "Jardine, Matheson and Fleming were into cotton and opium in India and the Orient long before they were in Texas.  They weren't laying tracks in Texas without worldwide ambitions in mind," said Wigglesworth noting that Robert Fleming was the grandfather of British spymaster and writer, Ian Fleming, the creator of the James Bond sagas. 

     Wigglesworth explained that as tracks moved toward the Pacific AIG's founder, Cornelius Vander Starr, was insuring Pacific cargoes and that Caleb Cushing's plan was to use Christian missionaries to soften the blow of his double-dealing.  For this job the first Christian missionary backed by Cushing was Peter Parker, the Yale graduate who had worked as Cushing's first Chinese interpreter for the negotiation of the Wanghia Treaty.  With the stipulation that the treaty could be renegotiated every 12 years. Barbara Pierce Bush ancestor, President Franklin Pierce, a strong backer of William Walker the filibusterer, sent Peter Parker to China in 1856 to revise the treaty and gain more concessions.  "Parker's papers are located at the Harvey Cushing and John Hay Whitney Museum at Yale," said Wigglesworth. 

     "The Pickians are more visible, though people can't understand what they are looking at until they've reached a 32nd degree of ascent toward their gong and mallet.  The Cushian's power is everywhere evident, too.  You have only to look to Cushing, Oklahoma where for over 100 years the benchmark price for crude oil was set and where the Keystone Pipeline is proposed to pass on its way to the Gulf Coast to really understand their desire for dictatorial control.  Winsip Custer has tied the Cushing legacy together, including Frank Hamilton Cushing's place in this drama, in his Romancing the Stoned. The Pickians' true agenda was dictated by Albert Pike and his Scottish Riters who had hidden much of it behind a hodgepodge of gnostic mumbo jumbo and degrees of ascent toward their sun god:  Endless Warfare.  'What?,"  asked Wigglesworth.  "You thought I would say 'the god of love'?"

     "Not only was the Western terminus of the first Transcontinental Railroad nicely guarded and delivered into LeLand Stanford's hands by William Tecumseh Sherman and George F. Bragg before the Civil War as an alternative to Jefferson Davis' Southern route, but there arrived in Sacramento and San Francisco in 1850, two Texas Rangers who would be elected sheriff of each city on the same day.  John Coffee 'Jack' Hays in San Francisco and Ben McCullough in Sacramento.  They had traveled the same route that was of such special interest to Jefferson Davis and Caleb Cushing who had hedged his bets with the Central route even as he wooed Davis.   Hays and McCullough should be familiar to any historian.   Riding with John C. Hays in Texas was John Joel Glanton, a type of early Lieutenant Calley of the My Lai massacre.  Glanton's legacy is nicely covered by Cormac McCarthy in Blood Meridian.  An embarrassment to civilization, he came in handy for clearing and repopulating land, but died at the hands of the Yuma Indians right where Mr. Huntington's company of 2,000 Coolies would lay the rails for Colton's late arriving Southern Pacific that would link up in Texas with various lines pushing west from New Orleans.   Hays, on the other hand, who knew Glanton well, had taken what by all outward appearances was the more cultured and refined route and the high road of the New England China Traders with their deep pockets in Boston, New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Hartford as well as Liverpool and London.  John Coffee "Jack" Hay's cousin was John Hays Hammond, the right hand man of Cecil Rhodes whose power to influence academia trumped William Fulbright of Arkansas where Albert Pike had been the Grand Dragon of the KKK and where Walter Lee Brown laid down the officially sanctioned storyline," said Wigglesworth.  "This is William Jefferson Clinton's stomping ground and provides significant background to understanding why, for example, Clinton in his post-Presidential years seems like George H.W. Bush's other son.  It also informs the reason why Clinton was easily persuaded  not to place his personal offices in Manhattan and settled for Harlem instead.  It wouldn't look too good for the first "Black President" and could open up a big can of worms," said Wigglesworth who noted that William Jefferson Clinton's father had died near Morehouse, Missouri in a cotton growing region carved out of Pike's Northern Arkansas by the leading Missouri slaver, John Hardeman Walker.  "William Jefferson Clinton is NOT a Cushian.  'Poppy Bush'....poppy....bush..... George Herbert Walker Bush, whose namesake, George Herbert Walker is from St. Louis?  Is."
