James Knox's Best Kept Secret
HIS FATHER, MAITLAND BROOKS KNOX, WAS A WEALTHY AND INFLUENTIAL INTERNATIONAL BANKER
On Sunday 3/20/22, James Knox preached the morning and evening sermons at his church. They were titled 2 Corinthians Lesson 18 and 19. In both of these sermons Knox strongly appealed to his congregation for money while citing his parents as models for Christian giving. One point he belabored was that in spite of his parents' poverty, they always tithed and therefore God blessed them. For example, in Lesson 18 at 1:05:07, Knox praised his mother's supposed charitable giving in spite of her poverty:
"She's been living on $18,000 a year since dad died. And she gives $6,000 to the church every year. I don't know many people who would be content to live on $1,500 a month and I don't know anybody who gives 1/3 of their income to Jesus Christ. You know why I didn't know that? Nobody but my son knew." Nobody knew this for another reason: Knox is lying. His mother, Wanda Knox, was wealthy.
At 1:07:50, and while feigning to cry, Knox preached, "My mother sent [money] from the time she was a toddler till the time she went to Heaven...gave from her heart to the church. 'That lady traveled the world and lived like a queen because God blessed her. You wouldn't think a person that had the income she had [near poverty level] could go to the places she went and do the things she did.'"
MAITLAND BROOKS KNOX'S OBITURARY CONFIRMS HIS WEALTH WHICH CONFIRMS JAMES KNOX'S FRAUD*
Knox would have his congregation believe that his mother "traveled the world and lived like a queen" on a meager income because God blessed her tithe. How was Wanda Knox really able to live this "royal" lifestyle? Wanda Knox's husband and James Knox's father was Maitland Brooks Knox. The following excerpt is from his obituary.
"Maitland Brooks Knox, 78, of Village Green Road, died Jan. 22, 2005, at Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach. Mr. Knox retired in 1983 as president of First National Bank of New Smyrna Beach. Born in Alexandria, La., he moved to DeLand from New Smyrna Beach in 1996...Mr. Knox worked his way through Stonier Graduate School at Rutgers University, earning a degree in banking and finance. He taught banking at several schools, frequently lectured for the American Bankers Association, and gave expert-witness testimony before the U.S. Congress...He enjoyed traveling, and he visited all 50 states and numerous foreign countries."
Maitland Brooks Knox's obituary reveals the real reason why his wife, Wanda Knox, "traveled the world and lived like a queen." Her husband was a wealthy and influential bank president who traveled to "all 50 states and to numerous foreign countries."
Maitland Brooks Knox taught banking, represented the powerful American Bankers Association, and gave expert testimony before U.S. Congress. His extensive foreign travels along with being a First National Bank president positioned his involvement in international banking.
*Fraud is a term used to describe deception perpetrated in order to achieve some kind of goal or benefit. James Knox perpetrates this deception in order to achieve financial gain.
MAITLAND BROOKS KNOX REPRESENTED THE AMERICAN BANKERS' ASSOCIATION
In addition to giving expert-witness testimony before the US Congress, James Knox's father, Maitland Brooks Knox, represented the American Bankers Association. According to his obituary, "Maitland Brooks Knox frequently lectured for the American Bankers Association."
"ABA members include banks of all sizes and charters, and between them they represent over 95 percent of the industry's $13.5 trillion in assets, and employ over 2 million men and women." (L).
DID MAITLAND BROOKS KNOX WORK FOR THE CIA?
In addition to representing the American Banking Association and giving expert testimony before US Congress, Maitland was a successful bank president who was sent on international trade missions for the US government. During his life, he traveled to all 50 states, to all the Canadian provinces, and to 6 continents. Why did Maitland Brooks Knox travel so extensively?
Given his remarkable achievements, it's odd that he wasn't given a church memorial or that he wasn't even mentioned by name at his wife's recent memorial. Why is Maitland Brooks Knox's life veiled in such secrecy? Why has so much of his personal history been whitewashed?
Once while describing his father's method of corporal punishment James Knox cryptically stated,
"I think it was one of those psychological tests from the CIA. HE MIGHT HAVE WORKED FOR THE CIA..."
