c) Western Union was created in 1856 through the consolidation of the New York and Mississippi Valley Printing Telegraph Company and New York & Western Union Telegraph Company. It had nothing to do with the railroad.

And Alexander G. Bell invented the telephone in 1876, forming the Bell Telephone Company in 1877, Atlantic Telephone and Telegraph could net have predated that. . . this is why I am very skeptical about everything posted by icky Icke. It's too unbelievable, and too easily debunked. To read Icke, the Payseur dynasty owns or started every major U.S company of any value. It defies logic, and frankly, the basic tenets of capitalism.

Another basic error by Icke's history is the claim the George III of England could, in 1804, still make land grants in an independent Country. It ain't gonna happen. The American States essentially voided all Crown lands with the winning of the Revolutionary War. They became booty of war, property of the various colonies. The king had no land in South Carolina to grant to Daniel Payseur. Any such grant deed would have been laughed out of the court house in the county seat where it was presented for recording as null and void.

Thanks for the info and corrections, Swordmaker.

I need to stay away from posting “historical” info that is not connected to anything I already know about. Like P stuff.
