was born in Brooklyn, New York. Her father was a financier,
owner of NY Times, involved in Broadway and horse tracks. Her
socialite mother took the daughters to Paris to find royalty.
She met Lord Randolph at Cowes during the yachting festival.
She became pregnant and her father paid Lord Randolph a sum of
$ 2.5 mil ( 2004 equivalent ). As soon as this settlement was
reached they were married, on 15 April 1874 at the British
embassy in Paris.

The
wedding was a hushed and rushed affair with of none of the
splendor that an international society wedding of such wealth
and standing would normally receive, no public ceremony, and
little mention in the press.
The
Duke and Duchess [of Marlborough] were conspicuously absent.
Her second son Jack, 1880-1947 was born in the Irish capital
at the beginning of 1880 and it is believed different father
from Winston Churchill, a Irish nobleman, Col. John Strange
Jocelyn was responsible.

Winston Churchill's history |

|
Born:
1874-1965
Raised: England
|
 |
Speculation was that Lord Churchill was not Winston's
father.Winston's putative father treated Winston with
distance and disdain. The non-existent father-son "relationship"
was thought to evolve from Winston's illegitimacy.
Winston's mother, Jenny Churchill (née Jacobson) was a
notorious adulteress. Jenny Churchill's promiscuity was so
infamous that ZOG Court Historian William Manchester
commented on it in detail in Volume 1 of his now to be
permanently incomplete Churchill "trilogy," The Last
Lion.

In 1911 he was named First Lord
of the Admiralty and presided over the British navy before
the outbreak of World War I.
The Dardanelles expedition, a
plan to outflank the Germans, was a disaster for the
British military. It had been his idea and as a result
Churchill lost his admiralty post in 1915 and was sent to
serve on the front lines in France.
In January 1916 he was appointed
as Lieutenant Colonel of the 6th Battalion Royal Scots
Fusiliers.
Re-elected in 1917 he was named
minister of munitions and later secretary of state for war
and air from 1918 to 1921. As colonial secretary in
1921-22, he helped negotiate the treaty to set up Ireland.
Between 1922 and 1924 Churchill
left the Liberal party and rejoined the Conservatives. He
was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer - a position he
held until the election of 1929.. He was defeated at the
next election.
Between 1929 and 1939, Churchill
was out of office but wrote much and stayed in the public
eye.In December 1931, Churchill, while on a lecture tour
of the United States, was hit by a car in New York and was
nearly killed.

Churcill's real mentor
His tie with
Churchill is a puzzle. Churchill was temperamentally a gambler and
he lost a lot of money on the stock exchange. Bernard Baruch assured
him that he would make good any of his losses.
Whether that was
simply because of the Churchill-Roosevelt friendship or whether
Baruch thought he would be useful to the Jewish cause is not clear.
We do not know if Churchill made any commitment to Baruch.
Churchill's hostility to Nazism seems not to have been the result of
this, but rather prior to this. |
