Grant And His Jewish Advisors

Legend has it Grant was an anti Semite, but the truth is he bowed to the Washington Jews. Adas Israel Congregation synagogue, he loaded his cabinet with Jews, and only ate kosher meat.

When European Jews wanted the Black Hills gold mining franchise, he ordered the army to protect their interests. The seventh Calvary was sent to take possession of the Black Hills (and thus the gold deposits), and to stop Indian attacks.  The Grant government set a deadline of January 31, 1876 for all Lakota and Northern Cheyenne to report to their designated reservations, or be considered a "hostile".

The European Gold Interests

The Rothschilds have always been foremost in the control of gold. Gold is the only real form of money accepted for the last 10,000 years.

George Custer Was an Incompetent

George Armstrong Custer was a pompous, egotistical glory seeker. His career was marked by enormous casualties, even by the standards of the bloody Civil War. In 1866 Custer was appointed lieutenant-colonel of the Seventh Cavalry. In late 1867 Custer was court-martialed.

Once re-instated  he lead a 1,200 person expedition to the Black Hills, whose possession the United States had guaranteed the Lakota just six years before.

Some have speculated that the flamboyant Custer was considering a bid for the presidency, and that he sought one more bold and dramatic victory to secure his future.

General Crook, General Gibbon, and Colonel Custer

The original United States plan for defeating the Lakota called for the three forces under the command of Crook, Gibbon, and Custer to trap the bulk of the Lakota and Cheyenne population between them and deal them a crushing defeat.

Terry Tells Custer To Scout The Indian Village

Terry, with the rest of his command, continued up the Yellowstone to meet Gibbon and close on the Indians from the north.

Custer Decided He Wanted All The Glory

On the verge of what seemed to him a certain and glorious victory for both the United States and himself, Custer ordered an immediate attack on the Indian village. Contemptuous of Indian military prowess, he split his forces into three parts to ensure that fewer Indians would escape. The attack was one the greatest fiascos of the United States Army, as thousands of Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho warriors forced Custer's unit back onto a long, dusty ridge parallel to the Little Bighorn, surrounded them, and killed all 210 of them.

The Battle Itself

Custer divided his forces into three battalions: one led by major Marcus Reno, one by Captain Frederick Benteen, and one by himself. Benteen was sent south and west, to cut off any attempted escape by the Indians, Reno was sent north to charge the southern end of the encampment, and Custer rode north, hidden to the east of the encampment by bluffs, and planning to circle around and attack from the north.

Reno began a charge on the southern end of the village, but halted midway and had his men dismount and form a skirmish line.  They were soon overcome by the Lakota and Cheyenne warriors who counterattacked en masse, forcing Reno and his men to take cover in the trees along the river. Eventually, however, this position became untenable and the troopers were forced into a bloody retreat up onto the bluffs above the river, where they made their own stand.

There, Custer was prevented from digging in by Crazy Horse, whose warriors had outflanked him and were now to his north, at the crest of the ridge.  When Crazy Horse and White Bull mounted the charge that broke through the center of Custer's lines,  many of the panicking soldiers threw down their weapons and either rode or ran towards the knoll where Custer, the other officers, and about 40 men were making a stand. Along the way, the Indians rode them down, counting coup by whacking the fleeing troopers with their quirts or lances.

Initially, Custer had 358 officers and men under his command . As the troopers were cut down, moreover, the Indians stripped the dead of their firearms and ammunition, with the result that the return fire from the cavalry steadily decreased, while the fire from the Indians steadily increased. The Indians closed in for the final attack and killed all in Custer's command. As a result, the Battle of the Little Bighorn has come to be popularly known as "Custer's Last Stand".5

The Calvary Arrives

When the cavalry's main column did arrive three days later, they found most of the soldiers' corpses stripped, scalped, and mutilated. Custer’s body had two bullet holes, one in the left temple and one just above the heart. Following the recovery of Custer's body, he was given a funeral with full military honors, and was buried on the battlefield, and later reinterred in the West Point Cemetery on October 10, 1877. The site of the battle was designated a National Cemetery in 1876. map

In 1877 The Jewish Groups Get The Franchise

With passage of the Act of February 28, 1877, the United States took over 7 million acres, including the Black Hills, from the Great Sioux Reservation. Crazy Horse was killed at Fort Robinson in Nebraska.

Crazy Horse's Book

A. Ross Ehanamani, a member of the Sioux nation wrote a book, “Crazy Horse and the Real Reason for the Battle of the Little Bighorn.”  The book blames Jews for yet another one of history’s misfortunes. In this case, it was the pre-Bighorn army’s campaign to seize the Black Hills, a vast repository of gold. A cabal of German bankers had orchestrated the scheme, according to the author. 8

This Was 1877 New York

While this author seems to praise the various Indian tribes she is really trying to plead her case for the Jews ... it has been long known that the white man's thirst for gold deposits up in sacred Indian lands led to Custer's military incursions and ultimate defeat by the tribes who lived there. And no doubt Jewish German bankers were eager to get their hands on this gold as this book describes.

Was The Massacre At Little Big Horn

Whether it's sending troops in to grab the Black Hills gold fields, or sending troops into Iraq to grab the world's oil supplies, it seems it always leads back to World Jewry. It a definite that troops were sent in to grab the gold, and Custer's massacre certainly lead to the Indians losing everything.
