Cecil Rhodes and the Dream of a New World Order Presided Over by an Anglo-American Establishment

Via Jesse

“The Rhodes Scholarships, established by the terms of Cecil Rhodes’s seventh will, are known to everyone. What is not so widely known is that Rhodes in five previous wills left his fortune to form a secret society, which was to devote itself to the preservation and expansion of the British Empire. And what does not seem to be known to anyone is that this secret society was created by Rhodes and his principal trustee, Lord Milner, and continues to exist to this day.

To be sure, this secret society is not a childish thing like the Ku Klux Klan, and it does not have any secret robes, secret handclasps, or secret passwords. It does not need any of these, since its members know each other intimately. It probably has no oaths of secrecy nor any formal procedure of initiation. It does, however, exist and holds secret meetings, over which the senior member present presides. At various times since 1891, these meetings have been presided over by Rhodes, Lord Milner, Lord Selborne, Sir Patrick Duncan, Field Marshal Jan Smuts, Lord Lothian, and Lord Brand. They have been held in all the British Dominions, starting in South Africa about 1903; in various places in London, chiefly Piccadilly; at various colleges at Oxford, chiefly All Souls; and at many English country houses such as Tring Park, Blickling Hall, Cliveden, and others.

This society has been known at various times as Milner’s Kindergarten, as the Round Table Group, as the Rhodes crowd, as The Times crowd, as the All Souls group, and as the Cliveden set. All of these terms are unsatisfactory, for one reason or another, and I have chosen to call it the Milner Group. Those persons who have used the other terms, or heard them used, have not generally been aware that all these various terms referred to the same Group.

It is not easy for an outsider to write the history of a secret group of this kind, but, since no insider is going to do it, an outsider must attempt it. It should be done, for this Group is, as I shall show, one of the most important historical facts of the twentieth century.”

Carroll Quigley, The Anglo-American Establishment

On September 19, 1877, Rhodes drafted his first will; at that time, he had an estate of only about £10,000.  Although he changed his will quite a number of times in years following, the objective remained the same. After his death, the directors of the Rhodes Trust set up the Rhodes Scholarships as the best way to achieve his objectives.) The first clause of the 1877 will bequeathed his wealth as follows:

To and for the establishment, promotion and development of a Secret Society, the true aim and object whereof shall be for the extension of British rule throughout the world, the perfecting of a system of emigration from the United Kingdom, and of colonisation by British subjects of all lands where the means of livelihood are attainable by energy, labour and enterprise, and especially the occupation by British settlers of the entire Continent of Africa, the Holy Land, the Valley of the Euphrates, the Islands of Cyprus and Candia, the whole of South America, the Islands of the Pacific not heretofore possessed by Great Britain, the whole of the Malay Archipelago, the seaboard of China and Japan, the ultimate recovery of the United States of America as an integral part of the British Empire, the inauguration of a system of Colonial representation in the Imperial Parliament which may tend to weld together the disjointed members of the Empire and, finally, the foundation of so great a Power as to render wars impossible and promote the best interests of humanity.

1877:  Cecil Rhodes, Confession of Faith

Rhodes originally wrote this on June 2, 1877, in Oxford. Later, that year in Kimberley, he made some additions and changes. What follows is that amended statement. The spelling and grammar errors were in the original.

It often strikes a man to inquire what is the chief good in life; to one the thought comes that it is a happy marriage, to another great wealth, and as each seizes on his idea, for that he more or less works for the rest of his existence. To myself thinking over the same question the wish came to render myself useful to my country. I then asked myself how could I and after reviewing the various methods I have felt that at the present day we are actually limiting our children and perhaps bringing into the world half the human beings we might owing to the lack of country for them to inhabit that if we had retained America there would at this moment be millions more of English living.

I contend that we are the finest race in the world and that the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for the human race. Just fancy those parts that are at present inhabited by the most despicable specimens of human beings what an alteration there would be if they were brought under Anglo-Saxon influence, look again at the extra employment a new country added to our dominions gives.

I contend that every acre added to our territory means in the future birth to some more of the English race who otherwise would not be brought into existence. Added to this the absorption of the greater portion of the world under our rule simply means the end of all wars, at this moment had we not lost America I believe we could have stopped the Russian-Turkish war by merely refusing money and supplies. Having these ideas what scheme could we think of to forward this object. I look into history and I read the story of the Jesuits I see what they were able to do in a bad cause and I might say under bad leaders.

At the present day I become a member of the Masonic order I see the wealth and power they possess the influence they hold and I think over their ceremonies and I wonder that a large body of men can devote themselves to what at times appear the most ridiculous and absurd rites without an object and without an end.  The idea gleaming and dancing before ones eyes like a will-of-the-wisp at last frames itself into a plan.

Why should we not form a secret society with but one object the furtherance of the British Empire and the bringing of the whole uncivilised world under British rule for the recovery of the United States for the making the Anglo-Saxon race but one Empire. What a dream, but yet it is probable, it is possible. I once heard it argued by a fellow in my own college, I am sorry to own it by an Englishman, that it was good thing for us that we have lost the United States. There are some subjects on which there can be no arguments, and to an Englishman this is one of them, but even from an American’s point of view just picture what they have lost, look at their government, are not the frauds that yearly come before the public view a disgrace to any country and especially their’s which is the finest in the world.

Would they have occurred had they remained under English rule great as they have become how infinitely greater they would have been with the softening and elevating influences of English rule, think of those countless 000’s of Englishmen that during the last 100 years would have crossed the Atlantic and settled and populated the United States. Would they have not made without any prejudice a finer country of it than the low class Irish and German emigrants? All this we have lost and that country loses owing to whom? Owing to two or three ignorant pig-headed statesmen of the last century, at their door lies the blame.

Do you ever feel mad? do you ever feel murderous. I think I do with those men. I bring facts to prove my assertion. Does an English father when his sons wish to emigrate ever think of suggesting emigration to a country under another flag, never—it would seem a disgrace to suggest such a thing I think that we all think that poverty is better under our own flag than wealth under a foreign one.

Put your mind into another train of thought. Fancy Australia discovered and colonised under the French flag, what would it mean merely several millions of English unborn that at present exist we learn from the past and to form our future. We learn from having lost to cling to what we possess. We know the size of the world we know the total extent.

Africa is still lying ready for us it is our duty to take it. It is our duty to seize every opportunity of acquiring more territory and we should keep this one idea steadily before our eyes that more territory simply means more of the Anglo-Saxon race more of the best the most human, most honourable race the world possesses.

To forward such a scheme what a splendid help a secret society would be a society not openly acknowledged but who would work in secret for such an object.

I contend that there are at the present moment numbers of the ablest men in the world who would devote their whole lives to it. I often think what a loss to the English nation in some respects the abolition of the Rotten Borough System has been. What thought strikes a man entering the house of commons, the assembly that rule the whole world? I think it is the mediocrity of the men but what is the cause.

It is simply—an assembly of wealth of men whose lives have been spent in the accumulation of money and whose time has been too much engaged to be able to spare any for the study of past history. And yet in hands of such men rest our destinies. Do men like the great Pitt, and Burke and Sheridan not now to exist. I contend they do. There are men now living with I know no other term the [Greek term] of Aristotle but there are not ways for enabling them to serve their Country. They live and die unused unemployed. What has the main cause of the success of the Romish Church? The fact that every enthusiast, call it if you like every madman finds employment in it.

Let us form the same kind of society a Church for the extension of the British Empire. A society which should have members in every part of the British Empire working with one object and one idea we should have its members placed at our universities and our schools and should watch the English youth passing through their hands just one perhaps in every thousand would have the mind and feelings for such an object, he should be tried in every way, he should be tested whether he is endurant, possessed of eloquence, disregardful of the petty details of life, and if found to be such, then elected and bound by oath to serve for the rest of his life in his County. He should then be supported if without means by the Society and sent to that part of the Empire where it was felt he was needed.

Take another case, let us fancy a man who finds himself his own master with ample means of attaining his majority whether he puts the question directly to himself or not, still like the old story of virtue and vice in the Memorabilia a fight goes on in him as to what he should do. Take if he plunges into dissipation there is nothing too reckless he does not attempt but after a time his life palls on him, he mentally says this is not good enough, he changes his life, he reforms, he travels, he thinks now I have found the chief good in life, the novelty wears off, and he tires, to change again, he goes into the far interior after the wild game he thinks at last I’ve found that in life of which I cannot tire, again he is disappointed. He returns he thinks is there nothing I can do in life? Here I am with means, with a good house, with everything that is to be envied and yet I am not happy I am tired of life he possesses within him a portion of the [Greek term] of Aristotle but he knows it not, to such a man the Society should go, should test, and should finally show him the greatness of the scheme and list him as a member.

Take one more case of the younger son with high thoughts, high aspirations, endowed by nature with all the faculties to make a great man, and with the sole wish in life to serve his Country but he lacks two things the means and the opportunity, ever troubled by a sort of inward deity urging him on to high and noble deeds, he is compelled to pass his time in some occupation which furnishes him with mere existence, he lives unhappily and dies miserably. Such men as these the Society should search out and use for the furtherance of their object.

(In every Colonial legislature the Society should attempt to have its members prepared at all times to vote or speak and advocate the closer union of England and the colonies, to crush all disloyalty and every movement for the severance of our Empire. The Society should inspire and even own portions of the press for the press rules the mind of the people. The Society should always be searching for members who might by their position in the world by their energies or character forward the object but the ballot and test for admittance should be severe)

Once make it common and it fails. Take a man of great wealth who is bereft of his children perhaps having his mind soured by some bitter disappointment who shuts himself up separate from his neighbours and makes up his mind to a miserable existence. To such men as these the society should go gradually disclose the greatness of their scheme and entreat him to throw in his life and property with them for this object. I think that there are thousands now existing who would eagerly grasp at the opportunity. Such are the heads of my scheme.

For fear that death might cut me off before the time for attempting its development I leave all my worldly goods in trust to S. G. Shippard and the Secretary for the Colonies at the time of my death to try to form such a Society with such an object.

Damn, what a fucking flake. I thought Trump was an egomaniac, but Rhodes takes the fucking prize. He sure had an obsession with race, but he seems to have thought that “anglo-saxon” was a race, rather than a hodgepodge tribe made up of members of several tribes.

Anyway, his scholars have been up to mischief, haven’t they? Bill Clinton is one, you know.

It’s worse than that. How many people have named a HUGE FREEKIN COUNTRY after themselves (Rhodesia)? OTOH, he “earned” it, not inherited it.

Quigley’s book “Tragedy & Hope” was a watershed event for those who suspected a secret ruling elite when it was published in 1966. It’s actually a rather boring tome that I had to drag myself through. But for about 75 pages it’s electric, exposing the financial elite who choreograph events behind the scene. You can find interviews on You Tube where Quigley will come up to that point of exposing the rulers then back off in palpable fear shutting down the questioners flat. He was on thin ice. You don’t piss off these people and live to tell about it. The book was pulled off shelves, the plates used to print the book destroyed and it was dumped down the memory hole. But enough people had read it and bought copies so it survives to this day. I started to rub intellectual shoulders with such people after I graduated college in 1971. Soon after reading that book I came across “Rush to Judgement” by Mark Lane on the JFK assassination published in the same year. It started to come together in my thinking that there was a vast difference between what is seen and what is unseen.

Rhodes was in league with this elite. You can see how demented and drunk on power he was in this article. If you’ve ever wondered the sort of mind that would purposely start wars causing the death of millions of innocent people for their sole gain this is a great insight. They are fucking bat shit insane. And they lord over us.

Cecil Rhodes once said he believed that his memory would live for four thousand years, a real asshole who was a front for the top of the pyramid of the cabal.
DeBeers cartel and Rhodes are classic cases of the usual suspects strip mining the resources out of the African countries and enslaving the natives. Secret societies control the planet, so what else is new?

Rhodes was entirely financed by the Rothschilds, per Quigley, around pages 75-80. I am currently on pages 130 or so, and it is a fantastic slog through the bog. That is to say, the material is packed very densely, and it is loooong,980 pages content. I find myself rereading about 80%, it is worth it for me, although it has cut down on my internet reading by a massive amount, I find myself appreciating the extension of my attention span with the format.
I must credit TBP, first for, The Road to Serfdom, and currently, Tragedy and Hope, two works that have impacted the course of my life, through greater understanding of Socialism and Globalism.

The Rothschild-Rhodes-Milner group helped establish the Royal Institute on International Affairs (aka Chatham House) and its sister organization, the Council on Foreign Relations. The CFR has since been sponsored and dominated by the Rockefellers. See Quigley’s book “The Anglo-American Establishment”, available online (pdf):

http://www.carrollquigley.net/books.htm

CFR president Richard Haass, Brookings president Strobe Talbott, and Aspen Institute president Walter Isaacson are Rhodes Scholars and CFR members. Also Bill Clinton, James Woolsey, Wesley Clark, Susan Rice, Richard Gardner, Jared Cohen, and George Stephanopolus to name a few others.

Bill Clinton was a ((Rhodes Scholar)) and loved the work of his professor, Carroll Quigley.

Clinton and his wife have been doing the work of the ((NWO)) for a LONG time.

Tragedy and Hope is a tough slough but well worth the investment of time and effort. Carroll Quigley was not a “court historian” but an insider who was given two years of unrestricted access to files of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The quotes below from “Tragedy and Hope” are staggering to say the least and provide undeniable evidence that western democracy is a rather sick joke – a carefully constructed and maintained facade, a Potemkin village – making us little more than brainwashed serfs living in neo-feudal world designed and run by bankers and other powerful entities.

“The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank…sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world.

For the first time in its history, Western Civilization is in danger of being destroyed internally by a corrupt, criminal ruling cabal which is centered around the Rockefeller interests, which include elements from the Morgan, Brown, Rothschild, Du Pont, Harriman, Kuhn-Loeb, and other groupings as well. This junta took control of the political, financial, and cultural life of America in the first two decades of the twentieth century.”

Every Fed chairman since WW2 has been a CFR member, along with most secretaries of State, Treasury, Defense and CIA starting with the Dulles brothers.

Major firms including Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Citigroup, and BlackRock are CFR corporate sponsors. Also Exxon, IBM, AT&T, Lockheed, Boeing, Time-Warner, Reuters, Google and Facebook. Several of the their execs are CFR members. See member lists at cfr org.

@wdg: The last paragraph you quoted does not appear in the text of “Tragedy and Hope”. Quigley was sympathetic to the group, and would not refer to them as a ‘criminal ruling cabal’. This seems to be the actual source of that paragraph: http://www.hermes-press.com/domplot.htm

Thank you and you are correct. The last paragraph is not from Tragedy and Hope. I will try and find the source of this quote and re-post.

Yous talking ’bout da Rothschild’s “Mafia”? Damn near every person in America that has a job now is working for them; and told what to say and not to say. The Federal Reserve and their US fiat Dollar have to be destroyed and not replaced with their chip and e-money tyranny scheme. WWIII won’t do it nor a bloody Counter Revolution that kills more Illuminati Minions than the total numbers of people killed by Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and Genghis Khan together still won’t do it. They have spent Taxpayer money to build themselves Safe Place DUMBs for wars, the Yellow Stone Super Volcano or a huge comet like 65 million years ago. Jesus Christ Himself must come again and level the Money Changers Temples et all and rule His World from Jerusalem to get this job done. Maranatha.

Not far from the truth…I fear. Looking back with the benefit of hindsight and knowing that there will always be a thirst for global power among some, it is not hard to predict that this is where we would end up. Regaining our freedom and sovereignty will not be easy; we have the numbers but they have the money and resources. Who would have thought it would come to this. It should have been nipped in the bud a long time ago before it became all powerful. And to think 99% of Americans and Westerners in general have no idea they live in slave colonies.

Odd that Field Marshall Smuts would come up. That’s a story within a story itself. The Dutch and Germans were siding with Germany at the outbreak of WWI until Smuts suddenly got backing from someone and took over SA and sided with the Brits. The strategic and mineral value of SA played a huge role. The soft underbelly of the Ottomans would have been difficult for Sir Lawrence to attack to name one.

With all due respect to Ed at 6:49, the differences between the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes have been rather buried by the passage of time, so it seems right to speak of Anglo-Saxons. But one wonders whether the goal of the CFR (which derives from the Milner group) has changed, or never really was Anglo-Saxon supremacy, considering that England is being flooded with immigrants and the fertility of the English has dropped below replacement rate.

Iran N. Korea and Cuba are the only countries left that don’t have a Rothchild/Rhodes owned central bank. Amazing coincidence. In 2003 Iraq, Libya and Sudan were on that list.

Sudan even though the killing is still going on he is silent but Sudan has been stripped of its oil fields.

Sounds like Rhodes was just a one of a long line of folks/organizations thinking they were superior and should rule the world. The US is currently one such. People never learn.
