James Bulloch, Teddy Roosevelt’s Uncle and Mentor, Funded the Lincoln Assassination

 

This story is a genuine “scoop” of American history. At the time of its original publication and very limited circulation, the article’s included documents had never appeared publicly – and still, today, have not -- except in the U.S. government’s multi-volume Civil War records.

The following account sets forth rather urgently relevant background to two presidential assassinations. And the included documentary items are official (never censored) records of the United States; so, this is not a theory, but cold fact.

In my view, everyone who is aware that America has departed from its founding Revolutionary mission deserves to know about this. Readers can help in this regard.

I will post more scoops of the same caliber in future weeks, and I will pull together the larger story (exhaustively documented) in my forthcoming book, Who We Are – Volume Two.

James D. Bulloch, stationed in Liverpool, England, transferred $31,507.97 (worth about one million dollars in 2023), to the Canada-based action team planning the attack on U.S. President Abraham Lincoln.

Bulloch directed secret service operations within the British Empire for the slaveowners’ Confederacy at war with the United States. On or shortly after September 27, 1864, Bulloch sent the money payable to Patrick C. Martin in Montreal. The westward transatlantic crossing then took between 10 and 15 days. Therefore, the funds would have been ready for use by October 18, when assassin John Wilkes Booth arrived in Montreal.

James D. Bulloch was the maternal uncle, model and strategy-teacher to future U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt. He only emerged from the shadows of the Civil War when his nephew Teddy helped him to organize his papers and to publish a sanitized version of events in Bulloch’s sensational 1883 memoir, The Secret Service of the Confederate States in Europe.

Under the protection of imperial figures such as Lord Salisbury and other Cecil family members, Bulloch arranged English construction and crews for Confederate warships that preyed upon American commerce. He worked in tandem with agents of the Southern Confederacy in Canada, who operated openly in that British colony especially after British troops occupied Canada early in the American Civil War.  (more...)
