tomatobubble/id39.html A typical example of the incestuous old boys network that exists between the Wall Street, Washington DC, Central Banking, and corporate media elite, is the case of international banker, Eugene Meyer. WALL STREET: Meyer got his start as an investment banker with the firm of Lazard-Freres. He became a wealthy speculator and earned a seat on the New York Stock Exchange. WASHINGTON: Meyer served as head of the War Finance Corporation under President Woodrow Wilson during World War I. CENTRAL BANKING: President Hoover later named Meyer as Chairman of the Federal Reserve in 1930, which he chaired until 1933. After World War II, President Truman appointed him to head the World Bank. MEDIA:Meyer bought the Washington Post in 1933 (Arguably Americas most influential newspaper). The Post also owns Newsweek. Upon Meyers death, control of The Post passed to his daughter, Katherine Meyer Graham. Today, The Post is run by Katherines son, Donald Graham. All in the family. The Meyer-Grahams 100 year old influence includes the White House, the FED, The World Bank, The Washington Post, and Newsweek Magazine.
