The United States of America {Romerica} was intended from day 1 of its "independence" to become the sword-arm of the Roman Catholic Church. This is why Archbishop James E. Quigley of Chicago in 1903 piously remarked that "When the United States rules the world, the Catholic Church will rule the world"--("QUIGLEY AS AN OPTIMIST: SEES WONDERFUL GROWTH OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH" Chicago Tribune, May 5th 1903 : https://www.reddit.com/r/Jesuitworldorder/comments/d9fey6/quigley_as_an_optimist_sees_wonderful_growth_of/ ) The absolutely incredible amount of Roman military Fasces, the official symbol of the ancient Roman empire, on official U.S. government agency logos, U.S. court buildings, the 50 state capitol buildings, and at the federal Capitol building in Washington proves this irrefutably. The fasces are even present in the oval office!--the office of the U.S. President. {Photo : https://www.reddit.com/r/Jesuitworldorder/comments/ed1v4n/the_roman_fasces_are_in_the_us_presidents_oval/ } Coincidentally, the first White-House building was designed by a Irish Roman Catholic Freemason named James Hoban, but Papal Knight, Jesuit trained John McShain--"The Man who Built Washington"--is credited with the remodeling of the White-House in 1951, when the imperial Roman military fasces got installed in the oval office. I have shown elsewhere that the first mayor of the new capitol city for the United States (Washington D.C.), was none-other than super Catholic Robert Brent, the nephew of Jesuit John Carroll S.J., the founder of Jesuit Georgetown University which has been controlling both foreign and domestic policy for the U.S. Government ever since! Robert Brent, the first mayor of Washington D.C. was the nephew of Jesuit priest John Carroll S.J.!--the founder of Jesuit Georgetown University : https://www.reddit.com/r/Jesuitworldorder/comments/dvm7q9/robert_brent_the_first_mayor_of_washington_dc_was/ Here is a photo of a short article showing Jesuit Georgetown University honoring John McShain and many others at the annual John Carroll Dinner, covered by The St. Louis Register Volume 12 Number 14 4 April 1952 : https://archive.org/details/thest.louisregistervolume12number144april1952georgetownhonorsbignames. McShain was also mentioned in an article titled $14,000,000 Fund Goal set by Georgetown for 175th anniversary , NCWC News Domestic (October 12th 1953) https://archive.org/details/14milliongeorgetownfundbignames1953 alongside papal knights Myron C. Taylor, Thomas E. Murray and others. $14,000,000 adjusted for inflation in 2020 dollars from 1953 gives a total of $135,636,404.49
McShain would also go onto design to Pentagon building--the headquarters of the U.S. Military. It is rather intriguing that the shape of the Pentagon, which began construction September 11th 1941 is modeled almost identically after a Jesuit war-villa named Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola Italy : https://www.summerinitaly.com/guide/palazzo-farnese-of-caprarola. just look at it! It was very fitting then indeed, when in 1986, the Roman Catholic Church created the Archdiocese for the Military Services --a special diocese for the jurisdiction of the United States Military!-- at the expense of the taxpayer {Cardinal Edwin O'Brien, one of America's biggest war hawks : https://www.reddit.com/r/Jesuitworldorder/comments/clnewk/cardinal_edwin_obrien_one_of_americas_biggest_war/ } Papal Knight architect McShain, including designing the Pentagon, also designed The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington D.C.--the biggest Roman Catholic Church in North America! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilica_of_the_National_Shrine_of_the_Immaculate_Conception
Here is the New York Times obituary (1989) for John McShain, titled John McShain, 90, Constructor Of Pentagon and Kennedy Center, reading from this article we see how close the designer of the Headquarters building of the U.S. Military was to the Roman Catholic Church. ( https://www.nytimes.com/1989/09/19/obituaries/john-mcshain-90-constructor-of-pentagon-and-kennedy-center.html )
" John McShain, a contractor and developer who erected several important public buildings in Washington, including the Pentagon, the State Department Building and the Jefferson Memorial, died of a stroke on Sept. 9 in Killarney, Ireland. He was 90 years old.
His company, John McShain Inc., one of the largest construction contractors in the country in the years before and after World War II, was based in Philadelphia, where his projects included the original Philadelphia International Airport, the Naval Hospital, the Municipal Court House and the State Office Building.
In 1939 President Franklin D. Roosevelt, having observed Mr. McShain's work in Washington, invited the contractor, a staunch Republican, to build the Roosevelt library in Hyde Park, N.Y.
Other postwar projects on which Mr. McShain worked were the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the 1951 renovation of the White House under President Harry S. Truman.
In addition to his construction work, Mr. McShain was a major property owner in Philadelphia, where he served as head of the Zoning Commission from 1936 to 1952. His Philadelphia holdings included the Barclay Hotel, where he lived, In the 1950's Mr. McShain entered thoroughbred racing, establishing the Barclay Stable in the United States and Ireland and entering horses to major races in Britain and France as well. His colt Ballymoss, Europe's champion horse of 1958, won the Irish Derby and the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. That same year his filly Gladness won the Ascot Gold Cup in England.
Mr. McShain, a native of Philadelphia, was a prominent Roman Catholic layman. He was a Papal Chamberlain, a Knight of Malta and a Knight of the Grand Cross of the Holy Sepulchre. Mr. McShain had spent summers for the last three decades at his Irish estate.
He is survived by his wife, the former Mary Horstmann; a daughter, Sister Pauline Mary of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, of Rome; and two half-brothers, Joseph, of Farmington, Conn., and William, of Philadelphia."
Including these papal knighthoods cited by the New York Times , McShain was also knighted as a Knight Commander of the Order of Saint Gregory the Great. This is documented in the The St. Louis Register, Volume 10, Number 18, 28 April 1950, in an article titled WHITE HOUSE REBUILDER GETS PAPAL KNIGHTHOOD : https://thecatholicnewsarchive.org/?a=d&d=SLR19500428-01.2.119.41&srpos=5&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN-john+mcshain+------
" Washington. John McShain, Well-known builder and prominent Catholic, who is engaged in restoring the White House, residence of Presidents of the United States, has received the insignia of a Knight Commander of St. Gregory. The honor was made known at ceremonies held in Rome, in which Cardinal Dougherty of Philadelphia bestowed Papal decorations on several laymen...."
And perhaps, the Knights of Malta thought the year 1989, when Knight John McShain who designed the Pentagon passed away, was a fitting time to knight U.S. President Ronald Reagan into the order at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel ! Reagan of course ballooned the U.S. Military budget and officially re-created diplomatic relations from the United States to the Vatican in 1984. It was when Reagan was President too, that the Roman Catholic Archdiocese for the Military Services was created. (Video of President Reagan being Knighted : Closet Catholic Ronald Reagan's Remarks at the Knights of Malta Annual Dinner (January 13th 1989) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpHFedUfhYw&t=1002s )
R.T. Naylor, Hot Money and the Poltics of Debt, pg. 274 : " During the Reagan-era expansion of the military budget - $300 billion by 1985 -political contributions by the twenty largest US defense contracting firms doubled. During the same period, these firms managed to increase their share of defense contracts by 150%. The concentration of contracting in a few favored giants also increased their dependence (measured by their ratio of defense to nondefense-sector sales) on the federal government. Not surprisingly, those military-industrial behemoths showed consistently higher profit rates than other sectors of American industry. They were awash with cash when nonmilitary companies were penurious, and had substantially better stock-market performance." https://archive.org/details/hotmoneyandthepoliticsofdebt
The system of how the Pentagon, designed by Papal Knight Jesuit trained John McShain, gives out massive guaranteed contracts to the biggest monopolized firms in various industries--primarily the defense industry, was similarly replicated in Ancient Rome during the time of the Republic known as the "publicani".
" Once he arrived in his province, a new governor was likely to meet with other prominent Romans who were deeply invested in the area. These were Roman businessmen, members of the Equestrian Order, who moved into captured provinces and seized upon the dozens of opportunities to engage in profitable commerce that came naturally to citizens of the occupying power. The most powerful of these international businessmen were known as publicani . While many members of the Equestrian Order were businessmen, the publicani were distinct in their role of carrying out administrative and manufacturing activities in close partnership with the state. The publicani were essential members of the state system because, as one dimension of their belief in limiting the power of government, the Romans privatized many government functions. The publicani formed joint stock companies that bid for contracts to work for the state. “They provided public works (such as roads and aqueducts), supplies (such as horses and armor), and services (particularly tax collection), in return for a cash payment from the state.” The publicani became the richest businessmen in the Equestrian Order because their contracts with the state were very large, with guaranteed profits. (They were similar to the “cost-plus” contracts awarded by the Pentagon.) " Perils of Empire : The Roman Republic and The American Republic, Monte L. Pearson ( 2008), pg 159 https://archive.org/details/montel.pearsonperilsofempiretheromanrepublicandtheamericanrepublic2008/mode/2up
Wikipedia notes that : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McShain
"A devout Roman Catholic, John McShain was a major benefactor to Wheeling Jesuit University. In 2000, the newly constructed admissions center was dedicated to the memory of him and his wife. McShain served on the Board of Directors of a number of major American corporations and educational institutions including St. Joseph's University(Jesuit), Catholic University, and Georgetown University(Jesuit). John also attended St. Joseph's Preparatory School, an urban Jesuit high school in North Philadelphia.....McShain was also a benefactor to his alma mater, La Salle University(Catholic), in which he helped plan the construction of La Salle's original academic building, College Hall). McShain Hall was named after him. La Salle University also has a student award named after McShain, given out yearly. The John McShain Award is offered to a member of the senior class who maintained an excellent scholastic record and is considered by faculty and staff to have done the most for the public welfare of La Salle.[1]...Through the John McShain Charities, Sister Pauline McShain continued her parents' tradition of financial support for various Catholic organizations such as the Neumann College scholarship program."
Now from the "official" history of the Pentagon written by the Department of Defense, The Pentagon: the first fifty years pg. 34-36. 85 we read : https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a259419.pdf
"The total land area for the Pentagon was originally 583 acres, not much short of a square mile. The government owned 296 acres and purchased the remaining 287 acres for $2,245,000, about $7,800 per acre, not as good as the price the Dutch paid for all of Manhattan Island ($24.00 in trade goods) but a very good buy. Subsequently, the War Department transferred some 300 acres of this land to Fort Myer and to Arlington National Cemetery, leaving the Pentagon area with about 280 acres. With the availability of land and money assured, a revised cost-plus-a-fixed-fee construction contract with an estimated cost of $31,110,000 for McShain and the other two contractors was approved on 11 September. McShain appointed J. Paul Hauck as project manager for the contractors. Serving under Renshaw duing the whole period of construction, with D. A. Davis as Chief Superintendent and Thomas I. Moore as his assistant, Hauck made a valuable contribution that was acknowledged by both the War Department and the contractors. In addition to the main contractors, Hauck supervised the work of more than 25 principal subcontractors whose work encompassed almost every aspect of the building from bottom to top-excavation to roofing. John McShain acted as Contractors' Representative by written agreement among the three contractors. This was appropriate since McShain carried by far the greater part of the workload. The arrangement created an embarrassing situation later, in the summer of 1942, when plans were being made to place, at the Mall Entrance, an official marker baring the names of those responsible for the creation of the building. As originally proposed, the plaque carried McShain's name as Contractor and the other two companies-Doyle and Russell and Wise Contracting Company-as Associated Contractors....... An investigation of the building's progress conducted by the Bureau of the Budget in August 1942 criticized some aspects of the project, particularly cost and architecture, but, uncharacteristically for such reports, it had high praise for the leadership of the undertaking. "In order to have made the progress that has obtained unmistakably indicates that the men responsible for this project were able and fearless constructors possessed of a large fund of amicability and common sense." The report praised "the supreme command of the prime contractors held by Mr. John McShain" as "largely responsible for the procurement and scheduling of the vast numbers and quantities of labor and material, as well as the coordination of the work with their other organizations.""
