Lord Randolph ( Winston's Father )

and leader of the House of Commons.
His brother was involved in a scandal - he went to Prince of
Wales and was accused of blackmail and challenged to a duel. Queen Victoria became aware
of the situation and the duel never took place. Instead, Lord Randolph was banished to a
government post in Ireland. Randolph career collapsed he turned to drink

Jenny Jacobson Churchill (
Winston's mother )
1854 - 1921
She was born in Brooklyn, New York. Her father was a financier, owner of
NY Times, involved in Broadway and horse tracks. Her socialite mother took the daughters
to Paris to find royalty. She met Lord Randolph at Cowes during the yachting festival. She
became pregnant and her father paid Lord Randolph a sum of $ 2.5 mil ( 2004 equivalent ). As soon as this settlement was reached they were married, on 15 April 1874
at the British embassy in Paris.
The wedding was a hushed and
rushed affair with of none of the splendor that an international society wedding of
such wealth and standing would normally receive, no public ceremony, and little mention in
the press.
The Duke and Duchess [of Marlborough] were
conspicuously absent. Her second son Jack, 1880-1947 was born in the Irish
capital at the beginning of 1880 and it is believed different father from Winston
Churchill, a Irish nobleman, Col. John Strange Jocelyn was responsible.

Speculation was that Lord Churchill was not Winston's father.Winston's putative
father treated Winston with distance and disdain. The non-existent father-son
"relationship" was thought to evolve from Winston's illegitimacy.
Winston's mother, Jenny Churchill (née Jacobson) was a notorious adulteress. Jenny
Churchill's promiscuity was so infamous that ZOG Court Historian William Manchester
commented on it in detail in Volume 1 of his now to be permanently incomplete Churchill
"trilogy," The Last Lion.

In 1911 he was named First Lord of the Admiralty and presided over the British navy
before the outbreak of World War I.
The Dardanelles expedition, a plan to outflank the Germans, was a disaster for the
British military. It had been his idea and as a result Churchill lost his admiralty
post in 1915 and was sent to serve on the front lines in
France.
In January 1916 he was appointed as Lieutenant Colonel of the 6th Battalion Royal Scots
Fusiliers.
Re-elected in 1917 he was named minister of munitions and later secretary of state for
war and air from 1918 to 1921. As colonial secretary in 1921-22, he helped negotiate the
treaty to set up Ireland.
Between 1922 and 1924 Churchill left the Liberal party and rejoined the Conservatives.
He was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer - a position he held until the election of
1929.. He was defeated at the next election.

From 1929
Through 1932, Roosevelt Lived In America
The Conservative government was defeated in 1929, and
Churchill, now out of office, was in need of income. After
an absence of almost thirty years, he crossed the Atlantic
and undertook an extensive lecture tour of North America.
He stayed in New York with Benard Baruch, his trip
included his only visit to the West Coast of the United
States, where he was lavishly entertained in California by
William Randolph Hearst. Churchill also experienced
Prohibition first hand and was in New York in time to
witness the Wall Street crash. The collapse of the
American stock market, in which Churchill had invested,
wiped out any financial gains from the tour.
Churchill was now increasingly dependent on his writing
and public speaking to sustain his lifestyle. He returned
to America for yet another lecture tour in December 1931,
but suffered a further setback when he was seriously
injured by a car on New York's Fifth Avenue. On a late
night romp he was so drunk he was hit by a car in 1932.
