V. Marie Moore's List: R J REYNOLDS

• In May 2003, Esther Johnson presented a program on   African American presence at the Reynolds Homestead.  She gave us insight   into the Reynolds, from Abram, who came to Patrick County in the early 1800’s   to his son William harden who married Nancy Jane Box and had 16 children   including R. J., the founder of R. J. Reynolds.  They owned 8,000 acres   of land, and started Rock Springs Plantation (now called The Reynolds   Homestead) in the 1840’s and added on to it later.  It includes two   cemeteries, the Reynolds family cemetery and the slave cemetery located across   the road in front of the house that includes 61 graves.  The June 2003   meeting was an outing to The Reynolds Homestead with a covered dish picnic   meal. 

• The Reynolds property, near Critz, Va., includes the 1843 national historic landmark homestead, an ice house, a spring house, a granary, a summer kitchen, a slave cemetery, and the Reynolds family graveyard, where Virginia Lt. Gov. J. Sargeant Reynolds is buried.

• Virginia was established as an economic venture that got off to a very shaky start. In 1584 Queen Elizabeth I of England gave Sir Walter Ralegh (commonly misspelled Raleigh) permission to establish colonies in the New World. Gallantly, Ralegh named the area for the Virgin Queen, but undersupplied his colonies, which disappeared between one supply ship's arrival and the next.
• In 1612, John Rolfe began experiments in growing and processing tobacco. His export of tobacco to a London merchant in 1614 began a trade that made Virginia viable economically.
• The London Company was reorganized under the Great Charter of 1618, and by the end of 1619, several events occurred that had far-reaching impact. Free settlers were granted land, establishing property ownership. The House of Burgesses, America's first representative assembly, was organized, setting an example for representative democracy. A program encouraging emigration of “Maides to make Wives” began in England, ensuring that the population of Virginia would be self-sustaining. Unexpectedly, a Dutch trader from the West Indies arrived in August 1619 with a cargo of black colonists who were sold into indentured servitude (slavery did not yet exist in Virginia). This event helped foreshadow slavery and the Civil War.

• The colony had an urgent need of merchants, skilled artisans, woodsmen, and a large labor force to cultivate the tobacco crops. Luring laborers to insect-ridden and swampy regions was a challenge. The English law of primogeniture preserved the estates of the landed gentry by transmitting the titles and property intact from eldest son to eldest son. Many younger sons saw Virginia as a prime opportunity. The London Company lured these people to Virginia with land.

   

  The Company agreed to give anyone who paid his way to Virginia fifty acres “for his owne personal adventure.” Another fifty acres was offered for each person the adventurer transported “at his owne cost.” When Virginia became a royal colony, the headright system continued. Over the next century, thousands of settlers came because of Virginia's headright system. See Nell Marion Nugent, Cavaliers and Pioneers, Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents and Grants, 3 vols. (1934; reprint, Baltimore, Md.: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1983).
• As the young colony expanded, it experienced growing pains. The difficulty of providing a labor force led to the formal establishment of slavery (1660), disagreements with crown-appointed governors led to Bacon's Rebellion (1676), and a precipitous decline in tobacco prices resulted in the Plant-Cutting Revolt (1682). The end of the century was marked by the removal of the colony's capital to Williamsburg in 1699.
• Ironically, the eighteenth century saw both the establishment of the infamous Slave Code of 1705 and the headlong rush toward the American Revolution; each embodied different views of human rights. Even as the slaves' plight grew worse, George Mason penned the Virginia Declaration of Rights. Adopted by the revolutionary convention on 12 June 1776, the Declaration was a model for the United States Bill of Rights.

• RJ. Reynolds was a partner with British American  Tobacco Co. and was also involved in trading in opium for many years. R.J.  Reynolds was also involved with the rigidly controlled tobacco industry.
• The Dukes controlled Liggett & Nlyers Tobacco via their  Duke Endowment, a family foundation.
• The Duke family via underhanded tactics put  together a monopoly of the tobacco industry called the American Tobacco  Company. Later they merged and bought out 88 tobacco companies, and the  capitalization of the company was $235 million prior to 1911. The Supreme  Court made the American Tobacco Company dissolve since it had created an  illegal monopoly. However, the Dukes rearranged things and kept on going.

• The  Dukes and Reynolds use tax-free foundations as a vehicle to escape taxes  and hide their wealth while maintaining their financial power. Other  Illuminati families also used the foundations as a scheme to remain  powerful and to resist paying taxes. The controlled press builds them up  as charitable, when most of the grants by these foundations are  self-serving for the benefit of the elite. Some of these foundations are  the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation (est. ’36 in North Carolina), the Kate  B. Reynolds Foundation (est. ’46 in North Carolina), the Richard S.  Reynolds Foundation (est. ’55 in Virginia), and the Mary Reynolds  Babcock Foundation, and the Duke Endowment (address at Rockefeller Plaza,  NY). All of these foundations work for the Illuminati. The Donald W.  Reynolds Foundation (est. ’54 in Nevada and then moved to Arkansas)  might also be connected to the elite--but I don’t know.
• "Do you see any  possibility for any mischief behind these grants?! What I noticed about  the Reynolds grants is that they control all the crisis centers in the  North Carolina area via their money. This means any survivor of SRA  calling a hot line is going to get tapped into the Illuminati’s net for  catching escapees! I also noticed that all the colleges and universities  got money, and a variety of different denominations incl. the Baptists,  the Methodists, the Non-denominationalists, the Presbyterians, and the  Ecumenicalists. What surprised me was that a number of government agencies  get money from the Reynold Foundations, especially those dealing with  children like Social Services, and even Police Departments get money from  the Reynolds Foundations.
• R.J.  Reynolds Industries of Winston-Salem, North Carolina had an annual sales  of over $6 billion and 37,000 employees. I have the 1976 profit figure for  the company was $353 million. I don’t know what the current figures are.  The public thinks that the shares are widely held by the public, while in  reality the control is very narrow. The Reynolds were careful when their  stocks went on the market to retain secret control. R.J. Reynolds  Industries chairman was Colin Stokes. Colin Stokes is an interesting  person who works for the Reynolds. He was a member of Kiwanis  International, and a director of several key things, dir. of Winston-Salem  Savings & Loan, Integon Corp., and NCNB Corporation which is the bank  holding company of North Carolina National Bank. The NCNB, which at one  time had assets of $4.647 billion (it may be more now) has been the  largest of the Middle South banks and is a key component of the Reynold/Duke/Cuilman  clique. From 1958 to 1964, Stokes was a director of the William and Kate  B. Reynolds Memorial Park, and further serves the Reynolds as trustee of  the Wake Forest Univ. Another interesting liaison person for the Reynolds  has been J.P. Sticht, a director of R.J. Reynolds, who has acted as a  liaison between the Reynolds, Duke, and Rockefeller dynasties. Sticht is a  member of Rockefeller University Council, and a member of the board of  visitors to Duke University. Leighton Hammond Coleman, who is in the  Illuminati from the Satanic Coleman family, also sits as emeritus director  of RJ. Reynolds Industries.

• The multitude of connections of people serving the  Reynolds to the elite are mind-boggling. Many of the institutions in the  Middle South connect back to the Illuminati and their front organizations  such as the Freemasons and the Chambers of Commerce, the CFR etc. etc.  Some of the companies that R.J. Reynolds Industries interlocks with are  Arista Co., Avon Products,

   

  Charlette,  NC branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, Dun & Bradstreet  Companies, Foremost-McKesson Inc., Hatteras Income Securities,  Hayes-Albion Corp., Jefferson Pilot Corp., McClean Industries,  Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance, Perkin Elmer Corp., Richardson-Merrell  Inc., S.C. Johnson & Sons Inc.,

   

  Southern  Broadcasting Inc., Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, Standard Savings &  Loan, Stauffer Chemical Co., United States Filter Corp., United States  Steel Corp., Wachovia Corp. I doubt if this is current information, but  needless to say, Li. Reynolds Industries today interlocks with many other  corporations.
• Reynold  family works with many other elite Illuminati families, and is active in  banking, aluminum, and tobacco. SUMMARY OF PART 1.--The Reynolds family is  an elite Illuminati family which ranks right up there with the top 13  Illuminati families. They have a very extensive power base but are  strongest in the Middle South.
