Averell Harriman
Where each worldview places it
"One of the great Brotherhood manipulators of the 20th century". A Skull and Bones initiate, he headed the Marshall Plan in Europe from the Rothschild Paris mansion[1]. And the Truth calls him a Committee of 300 member who "was to become one of the most active manipulators of the twentieth century", whose influence "can hardly be overstated", and the Elite's shuttle diplomat before Henry Kissinger replaced him[2].
