J. PIERPONT MORGAN: was the most powerful man on the planet at the turn of the century. King of Wall Street, Morgan rose to power in the mid 1890's during a financial crisis that threatened to wipe out the entire gold reserves of the country. At the brink of bankruptcy, President Cleveland was forced to turn to the Rothchilds of Europe to lend America the gold it needed to keep the country out of the red. The problem was that the Rothchilds were Jewish, and the idea of the country being baled out by Jews was not good press, so Morgan, as an upstanding Christian, was called in as the front man and clandestine liaison. The ruse worked, and Morgan gained tremendous prestige. At his height in 1901, and more influential on the world economy than the President of the United States, the King of England and the Kaiser of Germany combined, Morgan controlled the banking system, railroads, shipping, mining, electrical and oil companies and also the telephone system. During this same year, during the very month that he formed U.S. Steel, the first billion dollar enterprise, Morgan also formed a partnership with Nikola Tesla on a transAtlantic wireless system. This screenplay highlights the details of their partnership, the panic on Wall Street that Morgan also caused as well as Tesla's competition with Marconi, another wireless inventor, and the reasons for the falling out Morgan had with Tesla.
