Hemp Timeline
8000 BC-1793 Hemp main agricultural product.
1793: Eli Whitney patents the cotton gin. This causes a setback for hemp in world commerce. What is needed is a state-of-the-art hemp harvesting machine and decorticating machine that can separate the woody core (called "hurds") from the fibrous bark. Until these machines are invented the work still has to be done by human hands, so hemp cannot compete with cotton.
1812: United States gets into the War of 1812 against the British after they block the Russian sea ports and we can no longer get our supply of inexpensive hemp.
1913: Andrew Mellon buys out partners and takes over Gulf Oil Corporation. Henry Ford begins first auto assembly line. Gulf Oil opens first drive-in gas station.
1916: George Schlichten shows the US Department of Agriculture paper he has made from hemp with his new hemp decorticating machine. The USDA predicts that a hemp decorticating and harvesting machine will be developed making hemp again America's largest agricultural industry. In its Bulletin 404 the USDA announces that one acre of hemp will produce as much pulp for paper as 4.1 acres of trees and use only 1/4 as much polluting sulfur-based acid chemicals to breakdown the lignin that binds the pulp fibers. The article states that if hemp was used to make paper instead of trees, wood ash could be used instead of sulfur based chemicals to break down the lignin, thus saving our rivers from pollution.
1916: This is the year William Randolph Hearst begins using his newspapers as a weapon against "marijuana." The enormous timber acreage and businesses of the Hearst Paper Manufacturing Division stand to lose billions of dollars and perhaps go bankrupt. Bulletin 404 is a direct threat to his investments. No one in America knows that "marijuana" is "hemp" because it is Hearst himself who brings the word "marijuana" into the English language via his newspapers. The Spanish word for hemp is "canamo". But Hearst chooses the Mexican Sonoran colloquialism, "marijuana" which guarantees that no one will realize he is talking about the world's chief natural medicine and finest industrial resource.
1917: George Schlichten patents the new decorticating machine. Now field hands won't have to hand-separate the fiber from the woody core of the plant. It is this machine that will enable hemp to be cost effective and highly competitive with cotton.
1919: Ethanol fuel (made from alcohol) is ready to compete with gasoline.
1919: Alcohol Prohibition descends on the nation.
1920: Du Pont develops synthetic additives for gasoline and oil as well as toxic sulfate and sulfite compounds used to pulp trees for paper. These synthetics begin poisoning our rivers and streams.
1920S: Andrew Mellon's petroleum-rich BANK loans Du Pont the money to take over General Motors.
1921: Warren G. Harding appoints Andrew Mellon Secretary of the Treasury.
1929: As Secretary of the Treasury, Mellon's "easy money" policies have profited speculators like himself and lead to the 1929 Stock Market Crash and the Great Depression.
1931: Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew Mellon, appoints his nephew-in-law, Henry Anslinger, head of the Drug Enforcement Agency, a Bureau of the Treasury Department.
1932: Andrew Mellon is removed from his post. However, his influence in the Treasury Department is still active, operating through his nephew-in-law Anslinger.
1933: The Great Depression affects Federal spending. Congress is examining the government's need for certain federal agencies. The DEAs budget is cut and employees reduced.
1934: Still in the depression, the government needs money. The National Firearms Act passes Congress. This is the first Act to hide Congressional motives for raising revenue behind a prohibitive tax. Supposedly the Act was to prohibit traffic in machine guns. But the Act states that anyone can buy a machine gun as long as he pays a $200 transfer tax and carries out the purchase on an order form.
1935: The industrial barons and financiers Mellon, Du Pont, and Hearst know the process to make hemp into paper and plastics will soon be available and will wipe them out. Hemp has to go. The Treasury Department employs the taxing power of the Federal Government again. This is done through the Treasury Department's general counsel, Herman Oliphant, a friend of Mellon's who is put in charge of writing a bill that will get past Congress and the Supreme Court.
1935-1937: Behind-closed-doors meetings are held in the Treasury Department for two years, during which time strategy around a new bill targeting hemp is discussed. They won't use the word "hemp" in the bill. Instead, they decide to use the Mexican slang word that Hearst brought into the country via yellow journalism, "Marijuana." This is good strategy, because no one in the hemp industry will realize they are targeting hemp and no one in the medical profession will realize they are targeting cannabis. They also decide not to introduce the bill to the appropriate committees such as food and drug, agriculture, textiles or commerce. Instead they will bring it to the House Ways and Means Committee which is composed of a group of men who are key industrial (Du Pont and Mellon) allies.
1937: The Supreme Court unanimously upholds the National Firearms Act on March 29th of this year. The Treasury Department has been waiting to see the outcome of this trial. They model their "Marijuana" Tax Bill in the same shape as the National Firearms Act, knowing the path to passing has already been forged. Two weeks later, April 14, the Treasury Department introduces the Marijuana Tax Bill to the House of Representatives.
We have provided you with a large portion of the Congressional Hearing on our site.
1937: Henry Ford does not know about the "conspiracy". He is growing hemp on his farm in order to show how his cars can be fueled by plant biomass (biomass fuel).
1937: The new Tax Bill has not yet been passed by Congress. In November of this year Popular Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering introduce investors to Schlichten's fully operational hemp decorticating machine. Articles in these magazines predict billion dollar profits for hemp businesses. Coupled with G. W. Schlichten's decorticating machine that was patented in 1917, hemp is now a mass produced, viable paper source, half the cost of tree-pulp paper.
1937: Du Pont's Annual Report to its stockholders strongly urges continued investment in its new, but not yet accepted, petrochemical synthetic products. Here are the conspiratorial keywords in that report: Du Pont is anticipating "radical changes" from "the revenue raising power of government" that will soon be converted into an instrument for "forcing acceptance of sudden new ideas of industrial and social reorganization." (from Du Pont Company Annual Report, 1937.
It is clear from this report that Du Pont knew something neither their investors nor the general public knew, namely that the Marijuana Tax Bill was going to make it impossible to continue using plant biomass for industrial production. Only a handful of rich industrialists knew that their chief potential competitor, hemp, was what was being outlawed under the name of "marijuana."
Note: If hemp had not been made illegal 80% of Du Pont's business would never have come to be nor would the majority of global warming and the pollution inflicted in our Northwestern and Southeastern rivers have occurred.
