ATDTDA (2): "criminal acts of the rich" (32.21)

Tim Strzechowski: Does anyone know of a specific railroad tycoon from 
New Jersey to whom Scarsdale Vibe might be making reference here?

"Almost certainly the most lucrative secret deals done by 
Rockefeller and his partners were with the railroads. 
These 'in harmony' deals meant those refineries and oil 
traders not 'in harmony' with standard would find that 
railroads would refuse point blank to move their oil, 
whatever the price."

In 1933, as what Hitler called his `` New Order '' appeared, 
John D. Rockefeller, Jr. appointed William S. Farish the 
chairman of Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey (in 1937 he 
was made president and chief executive). Farish moved 
his offices to Rockefeller Center, New York, where he 
spent a good deal of time with Hermann Schmitz, chairman 
of I.G. Farben; his company paid a publicity man, Ivy Lee, to 
write pro-I.G. Farben and pro-Nazi propaganda and get it 
into the U.S. press.

Now that he was outside of Texas, Farish found himself in 
the shipping business--like the Bush family. He hired Nazi 
German crews for Standard Oil tankers. And he hired Emil 
Helfferich, chairman of the Walker/Bush/Harriman 
Hamburg-Amerika Line, as chairman also of the Standard 
Oil Company subsidiary in Germany. Karl Lindemann, 
board member of Hamburg-Amerika, also became a top 
Farish-Standard executive in Germany. at s1@s4

This interlock between their Nazi German operations put 
Farish together with Prescott Bush in a small, select group 
of men operating from abroad through Hitler's `` revolution, '' 
and calculating that they would never be punished.

". . . .a whitewashed bust of Jay Gould that Pierce kept over
 the bed on a shelf so narrow for it she'd always had the 
hovering fear it would someday topple on thewm. Was that 
how he'd died, she wondered, among dreams, crushed by 
the only ikon in the house? That only made her laugh, out 
loud and helpless: You're so sick, Oedipa she told herself, 
or the room, which knew." COL49, pgs 1/2

In Gravity’s Rainbow, Pynchon has to bring up the long ago 
relationship between Standard Oil and the I.G. Farbenindustrie. 
Standard Oil and I.G. Farben did arrange to share world 
markets in 1936, and as an act of good faith, they exchanged 
some 2,000 patents just prior to World War II. Their 
multinational character forced them to make arrangements 
for the contingencies of war.

When World War II erupted, their loyalties were so strongly 
with each other that the US government had to bring legal 
action against both the Standard Oil Co. (NJ) and I.G. 
Farbenindustrie (see Pynchon’s list, Rainbow 538) for illegal 
monopolistic practices involving gasoline, toluene, and synthetic 
rubber patents. The US government seized many of these
patents ultimately. Standard Oil, it seems, also gave Farben 
the technology, personnel and equipment for the production 
of tetraethyl lead, without which there would have been no 
high octane aircraft fuel, no luftwaffe, and no war. Then Sen. 
Harry S. Truman, the investigating committee’s chairman, 
viewed the relationship between these multinational 
corporations as treasonable.

By referring to this multinational liaison as “the century’s 
master cabal,” Pynchon is suggesting more than corporate 
cooperation. He is suggesting that World War II was part of 
the “Plot Which Has No Name,” the concerted effort by the 
new dynasty to bring down the old dynasty. This is hinted 
at again and again in the book. Anyone can go to the 1942 
yearbooks in any public library and get the information from 
just about any newspaper. Anyone who’s interested knows t
hat John Foster Dulles's law firm, Sullivan & Cromwell, 
represented I.G. Farben during the war and after, as well as 
the Vereinigte Stahlwerke, and the Shroder Trust, formerly 
Hitler’s financial agent. It is all known, in the New York Times, 
in the Senate hearings, in current books about that period.

The House of Rockefeller is, first and foremost, 
THE Invisible Government of the United States.
 Invisible Government is described as "predatory 
capital controlling the wheels of government
 behind a smoke screen." (Bealle, The House of
 Rockefeller, p. 69).
