*REDUX* [#79b] THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT CULLED: History of the Great American Fortunes, Vol. II [Part 2] (Patreon)

Dimitri and Khalid continue chugging through Gustavus Myers’ “History of the Great American Fortunes, Vol. II”, including: the rise of railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt, his egregious use of commercial blackmail, his mail-transport bribery scandals in the 1850s, Vanderbilt’s homicidally “patriotic” profiteering during the Civil War, his corrupt consolidation of regional railroads into unassailable monopolies in the post-war era, constant allegations of labor “conspiracy” amidst Pinkerton false flags, the rigging of the NYC mayoral elections, and the trend of American industrial families marrying off their daughters to European nobility to ensure the continued dominance of both vampiric classes.
