Harold Brainerd Allen (1896-1983) instituted a thoroughly considered investment scheme to emancipate his family from the yoke of idolatry, and perpetual intellectual property theft. The Da Vinci Code simplifies for Judeo-Christian audiences. HBA's grandson's autobiography provides a better explanation.
Miss Mabelle Fay Cowgill (1899-1992) dated HBA in school. HBA's parents objected to Miss Cowgill, so she married Joseph M. Chamberlain (1893-1956). HBA married Ethel May Dennis. For their honeymoon in 1922 they camped out in New York City's Central Park.
After college HBA became a Trust Officer in a bank. Starting with his employment at the bank, HBA discretely created and grew corporations for positive social change. Also, as one of the founding members of the local NAACP Chapter, starting the first local Goodwill Store, and other social causes, HBA created a Syndicate. At 34 years old he joined the Board of Directors, then joined The Upjohn Company, rising to Secretary of the Board of Directors. HBA opposed Franklin Delano Roosevelt because FDR profiteered by fomenting war, and abetting unhealthy financial practices.
HBA continued to date Mabelle, who had moved to Beloit, Wisconsin. In 1955 their son was born out of wedlock. The nascent computer age had begun. HBA knew his heirs would confront only worse. HBA determined that the most powerful tool he could bequeath was individualised computing. Hence, HBA invested Mabelle's son in a business to help HBA's heirs. HBA arranged to have their son adopted by a family in what was later labeled Silicon Valley. The child was named Steven Paul Jobs.
After more than a decade on the Board of The Upjohn Company, HBA retired. For the next two decades he continued his clandestine investing. In Africa, an Allen Clinic was founded because HBA brought considerable amounts of pharmaceuticals to Africa.
HBA's eldest male heir in the paternal line is Steven McIntire Allen (SMA). HBA manipulated lives until he died in 1983. At the expense of his goals, the plan and methods continued unabated.
HBA kept a daily diary. His diary 'disappeared' because SMA sought access. If given access, SMA would be able to create effective, positive change. Such change would that would promote harmony and tolerance.
We are looking for ethical investors who do not dent, scratch or mutilate the universe.
