The Marshall Plan

By Vicky Davis | November 19, 2019

The Bretton Woods Conference established an international system of finance, the Articles of which came into effect in 1945, but the institutions – IMF and World Bank – wouldn't be functional in time to help rebuild Europe countries.

The Morganthau Plan generally thought to have been produced by Harry Dexter White, called for Germany to pay punitive reparations for the damages to the world by the German Nazi movement included a plan to turn Germany into a "pastoral state" on a permanent diet of potatoes. Obviously, that wasn't a workable plan (not to mention demonic). A deindustrialized and demilitarized Germany would have been a sitting duck for Stalin and his ambitions. If Germany fell to communism, then the rest of western Europe would fall because the functioning Soviet industries would move to fill the gap of the destroyed industries of the west bringing the communist system with them.

General George C. Marshall, Secretary of State, proposed a solution that came to be known as the Marshall Plan.

The Soviet Union opposed the Marshall Plan because the goals of the plan conflicted with Stalin's plan for Europe:

"On June 27, 1947, European nations held a conference in Paris to discuss Marshall's request, it became apparent that the Soviet Union did not intend to participate in or cooperate with the proposal. During the ensuing months of 1947 the Marshall Plan became accepted as the major effort of the United States to save sixteen European nations beyond the orbit of the Soviet Union from economic collapse and communism… The three western nations were blocked by the Soviet Union's insistence on a Germany economically bound to Russia and a burden to the rest of Europe".1

"Stalin regarded the plan's vision of an integrated European market with considerable freedom of movement, goods, services, information, and, inevitably, people, as incompatible with his economic, political, and foreign-policy goals. In June 1947, delegates from France, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union met in Paris to discuss Marshall's proposal…After several days, Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav M. Molotov walked out, stating that the Soviet government "rejects this plan as totally unsatisfactory." Viewed by Western leaders as one more refusal to support postwar stabilization efforts, Molotov's action contributed to the growth of Cold War tensions. In addition to declining to participate in the Marshall Plan itself, the Soviet Union prevented the Eastern European countries under its control from taking part. Subsequent Soviet propaganda portrayed the plan as an American plot to subjugate Western Europe."2

NOTE: With the benefit of hindsight, it seems to me that the Morganthau Plan was not a plan for Germany but was the plan for the United States. In my original research, I noticed the parallels between how policy in the U.S. was implemented following the war and many of the points in the Morganthau Plan. If that's correct, then the Marshall Plan for Europe was actually the reparations part of the plan.

The Marshall Plan: Rebuilding Europe

On June 5, 1947, speaking to the graduating class at Harvard University, Secretary of State George C. Marshall laid the foundation, in the aftermath of World War II, for a U.S. program of assistance to the countries of Europe. At a time when great cities lay in ruins and national economies were devastated, Marshall called on America to "do whatever it is able to do to assist in the return of normal economic health in the world, without which there can be no political stability and no assured peace."

The U.S. Congress approved Marshall's longsighted proposal in 1948, and by 1952 the United States had channeled some $13 billion in economic aid and technical assistance to 16 European countries. During the program's four years, participating countries saw their aggregate gross national product rise more than 30 percent and industrial production increase by 40 percent over prewar levels.

But the Marshall Plan, as it came to be known, was not just an American program. It was a joint European-American venture, one in which American resources were complemented with local resources, one in which the participants worked cooperatively toward the common goals of freedom and prosperity.

The Marshall Plan at 60

By Erik Reinert and Jomo K.S.

Apart from its historical importance, the Marshall Plan experience offers valuable lessons that have relevance today. It represented a complete reversal of the preceding Morgenthau Plan, named after Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau Jr. In his 1945 book, Germany is Our Problem, Morgenthau promoted a de-industrialization plan, "converting Germany into a country principally agricultural and pastoral" to make sure it could never again go to war.

By late 1946, however, economic hardship and unemployment in Germany were worrying the United States, and former President Herbert Hoover was sent there on a fact-finding mission. Hoover's third report of 18 March 1947 noted: "There is the illusion that the New Germany left after the annexations can be reduced to a 'pastoral state'. It cannot be done unless we exterminate or move 25,000,000 people out of it." Hoover well understood that an agricultural economy would be able to sustain a much smaller population than an industrialized nation.

Hence, the only option was to re-industrialize. Less than three months later, Marshall's landmark speech reversed policy. Germany and the rest of Europe were to be re-industrialized with policies that included heavy handed economic interventions, such as high duties, quotas and import prohibitions. Free trade would be possible only after reconstruction and international competitiveness had been achieved.

A State Department article was found that has many important details but it has a bit of spin to it. The writer says that the twin objectives were modernization and integration but a more accurate description that gives a clearer definition of the objectives with respect to past and current events is 'Security and Prosperity'. Prosperity through the breakdown of national barriers for economic integration and collective security for the western European countries. In other words, the goal was to create a United States of Europe. And the U.S. State Department had a major role in the planning and implementation of it.

The Marshall Plan, A Strategy that Worked

"Kennan and his new State Department Policy Planning Staff produced one of the master documents from which the Marshall Plan eventually flowed…. But there was a specifically European dimension to the Marshall effort. Europe's evil genie, said people like Kennan, Assistant Secretary of State Dean Acheson, and future ERP Ambassador Averell Harriman, was nationalism. If that root of Nazi-fascism and other 20th-century rivalries could be bottled up in an integrated European economic framework, the resulting prosperity might dampen nationalist competition, prevent future armed conflicts, and obviate U.S. involvement in future European wars."

…After a long winter of discussion, some stopgap help, and greatly increased tension in East-West relations, the European Recovery Program was born officially with an act of Congress signed by President Truman in April 1948. To administer the project, a new federal agency, the Economic Cooperation Administration (ECA), was established. Truman, a Democrat, signified his intent to secure bipartisan support for the program by appointing a Republican, Studebaker automobile company CEO Paul G. Hoffmann, as ECA head. Expenditures began to flow immediately, under tight congressional supervision.

The program's official enactment identified the supreme objective as creating in Western Europe "a healthy economy independent of extraordinary outside assistance" by 1952. To this end, comments the economic historian Immanuel Wexler, "the act stipulated a recovery plan based on four specific endeavors: (1) a strong production effort, (2) expansion of foreign trade, (3) the creation and maintenance of internal financial stability, and (4) the development of (European) economic cooperation."

Ed.'s note: At the time the "deep state" (Peter Dale Scott; the "evolution of para-politics": events escape the control of "deep state engineers") before anyone was even aware of its existence running a parallel system of finance, the trouble shooter and "expert fixer" John McCloy, arrives in Berlin. McCloy graduated from Harvard and went to work with W. Averell Harriman to gain his financial expertise. McCloy engineered financial deals for the House of Morgan and other financial firms on Wall Street. McCloy understood Cicero's dictum that "the sinews of war are infinite money." As a troubleshooter and "expert fixer," McCloy set up financial arrangements with Germany's remaining leaders and Japan's leaders that were similar in structure. In 1945, it was McCloy and Stimson who convinced President Truman to reject the Morgenthau Plan and to avoid stripping Germany of its industrial capacity. McCloy was involved in working out the details of the Marshall Plan.

Edward G. Lansdale, chief gold thug

for Allen W. Dulles,

Pilgrims Society/OSS/C.I.A./likely JFK hit-man

Fig. 3—Edward Geary Lansdale. Stimson's and Acheson's go-to plumber used to consolidate the stolen German and Japanese gold, silver, platinum, jewels, gems, paintings and other valuable treasurers. Landsdale arranged the transfers to the Bank of International Settlements (Bern). Allen W. Dulles was the Office of Strategic Sercices (OSS) Bern station chief at Herrengasse No. 23, Bern, Switzerland (ca. 1943-45).

In 1951, Allen W. Dulles, Landsdale's crime boss, was appointed director of the C.I.A. (1951-53) by Harry Truman. The C.I.A. was the successor to the OSS (and therefore British Pilgrims Society / MI6 founded and led). Among its over 30,000 people were many "stay behind" racketeers who were actually working for the Pilgrims Society / MI6 secretly. These stay behinds included many who were notriously known for running private gold smuggling and money-laundering operations. These criminal operations did not stop when the OSS was formerly disbanned on Sep. 20, 1945 by President Truman by Executive Order 9621. They continue to this day. For example, the United Fruit Company (now Chiquita Brands).

Lansdale's was attached to the U.S. Army during his OSS work for Donovan and Dulles during WWII. This placed him in the middle of the OSS seizure and transfer of the stolen Nazi and Japanese gold, silver, platinum, art, jewels, diamonds and other treasure, including gold ingots smelted from victims' teeth in the death camps.

From 1945-1948, after the end of the war, Lansdale was reassigned by the OSS to Air Force intelligence in South East Asia, most especially the Philippines. This was where the Japanese had hidden their stolen gold and other treasures from China and other captured countries in specially constructed caves. According to the Japanese general who oversaw construction of the caves, the engineers and laborers were all murdered to preserve the secrecy of the gold stores.

In 1953, Lansdale started "advising" the French forces in Indo-China, then was transfered to Saigon in 1954-56, during which time he "advised" the South Vietnamese forces, including in psychological operations. His primary role to create Pilgrims Society conflicts in "communist" hot spots in Cuba and Southeast Asia is evident in hindsight. (Remember: Communism was a creation of the British Pilgrims Society in London as a way to enslave the masses inside their imperial corporatist new world order) He and Secretary of State Dean Rusk, also a Pilgrim, are materially responsible for pressing the Vietname War through the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. Lyndon B. Johnson was a Pilgrim, Kennedy was not.

Bay of Pigs (Cuba) / JFK assassination. After helping Pilgrims Dulles and Donovan to consolidate the transfer of German and Japanese gold to the Bank for International Settlements in Bern, Lansdale worked as a clandestine officer for the Defense Department (1957-1963) rising to the rank of Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations. He was responsible for Operation Mongoose to topple Fidel Castro in Cuba by assassination, invasion (the Bay of Pigs) or other means.

The Bay of Pigs failure is said to have inspired President Kennedy to tell a close aide that he was prepared "to splinter the C.I.A. in thousand pieces and scatter to the winds." Inconclusive, but credible, accounts from three Lansdale colleagues put Lansdale in Dealey Plaza, Dallas TX on Nov. 22, 1961, the day of the assassination of President Kennedy.

Some of Lansdale's colleagues believe that Lansdale was the C.I.A. agent who coordinated the assasination, perhaps to preserve the Pilgrims Society's Nazi gold secrets at the Bank of International Settlements (which would have been destroyed by the break up of the C.I.A.).

The Bank of International Settlements was the heart of the Stimson-Dulles-Donovan Marshall Plan that used the hoards of stolen gold to help finance their 200-year Anglo-American (British) Pilgrims Society agenda by enriching their insider group of banks, companies and organizations through secret Swiss bank accounts. Many of our "blue chip" organizations today were among those 1948 beneficiaries of the secret International Bank of Settlements "loans," including:

Ed.'s note: An interesting look at Edward Lansdale who was in the Philippines with General MacArthur and was intimately familiar with Yamashita's gold (not discussed in this interview). While in the Philippines, Lansdale knew of the gold that was extracted out of Asia by the Japanese Imperial Army prior to the outbreak of WWII. A detailed discussion has been hyperlinked below for more information on this history.
