Norman Dodd's frank testimony on the power of banks and tax-exempt foundations is already a must-see for any serious student of conspiracy, but while watching it again recently, I noticed that Dodd accidentally dropped the name of the bank president he worked for, so naturally I was curious what google might turn up on him.

In Dodd's statements, he doesn't name the specific bank he was employed at, but he does say that it was a Morgan bank, and then lets slip the name of its president (@9m12s) when recounting his own words in a meeting with the man. The name was "Mr. Cochran."

Now, after a little bit of investigative armchair journalism, I'm pleased to submit to the readers of /r/conspiracy yet another connected dot in the massive web of evidence for innumerable crimes against humanity perpetrated by the banking elite, the Yale obituary for JP Morgan partner and confirmed member of Skull & Bones, Thomas Cochran (pp. 63-64):
