corporate, industrial and banking establishment during the mid- to
late-1930s:


WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST, the newspaper and magazine tycoon.

The expected rebirth of cannabis hemp as a less expensive source of
pulp for paper meant his millions of acres of prime timberland, and
investment in wood pulp papermaking equipment, would soon be worth
much less. In the 1920s, about the same time as the equipment was
developed to economically mass-produce raw hemp into pulp and fiber
for paper, he began the "Reefer Madness" hoax in his newspaper and
magazine publications.


ANDREW MELLON, founder of the Gulf Oil Corporation.

He knew that cannabis hemp was an alternative industrial raw
material for the production of thousands of products, including
fuel and plastics, which, if allowed to compete in the free-market,
would threaten the future profits of the oil companies. As
Secretary of the Treasury he created the Federal Bureau of
Narcotics, and appointed his own future nephew-in-law, Harry
Anslinger, as director. Anslinger would later use the sensational,
and totally fabricated, articles published by Hearst, to push the
Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 through Congress, which successfully
destroyed the rebirth of the cannabis hemp industry.
A prominent member of one Congressional subcommittee who voted in
favor of this bill was Joseph Guffey of Pennsylvania, an oil tycoon
and former business partner of Andrew Mellon in the Spindletop oil
fields in Texas.

which owned the patents on synthetic petrochemicals and industrial
processes that promised billions of dollars in future profits from
the sale of wood pulp paper, lead additives for gasoline, synthetic
fibers and plastics, if hemp could be suppressed. At the time, du
Pont family influence in both government and the private sector was
unmatched, according to historians and journalists.

This publication, however, reveals documented historical evidence that
the suppression of the hemp industry was only one key part of a much
larger conspiracy in the 1930s, not only by the three corporate
interests named above, but by many others, as well.

Congressional records, FBI reports and investigations by the Justice
Department, during the 1930s and 1940s, have already documented evidence
of this wider plot. A list of the corporations named include Du Pont,
Standard Oil, and General Motors, all of which were proven to be
