Many folks like to blame Jews for many or most of our problems. Maybe that’s true, maybe it’s not. But, few ever mention England (with the exception of the City Of London). What if THEY are our greatest frenemy? (I’m talking about their government … not fine people like Austrian Peter!). Warning … this is along article.

‘The Special Relationship’: How the British Reconquered the United States and Established an Anglo-American Empire
“Neither the sure prevention of war, nor the continuous rise of world organisation will be gained without … a special relationship between the British Commonwealth and Empire and the United States…not only the growing friendship and mutual understanding between our two vast but kindred systems of society, but the continuance of the intimate relationship between our military advisers”.
– Winston Churchill, ‘Iron Curtain Speech’, 1946
This will sound like an outrageous statement to many. How could the British have reconquered the United States?! They never won any war against her and by the 20th century had always fought alongside the United States as a trusted ally. And isn’t it rather the opposite, doesn’t the United States dictate British foreign policy at this point?
It is true, Britain never won a war against the United States, and it was understood by the mid-19th century that the British would never succeed in conquering the United States externally. Rather, if they were to be successful, she would need to be conquered from within, to which this paper is dedicated to telling the story of.
Two Opposing Systems
During the American Civil War, British support for the Confederate army had reached a point where Britain would have certainly militarily intervened on their behalf if it had not been for Tsar Alexander II deploying the Russian navy on both eastern and western coasts of America for seven months in support of Lincoln’s Union. Russia was prepared to go to war with Britain in order to keep the United States whole.
Tsar Alexander II explained in an interview with pro-industry American banker Wharton Barker on Aug. 17, 1879 why he thought it important that Russia should take such a strong stance in America’s Civil War (published in The Independent March 24, 1904):
“…All this I did because of love for my own dear Russia, rather than for love of the American Republic. I acted thus because I understood that Russia would have a more serious task to perform if the American Republic, with advanced industrial development were broken up and Great Britain should be left in control of most branches of modern industrial development.”
In other words, Tsar Alexander II understood that the United States had created the only economic system (known as “The American System”) that was capable of competing and defeating Britain’s slave-based economic policy of free trade. (For an overview of what is The American System refer here and here.)
In stark contrast to this sentiment, Lord Robert Cecil, who later became Marquess of Salisbury, a very prominent position in British peerage and who served three times as Prime Minister of Britain, had this to say in Parliament during the American Civil War:
“The Northern States of America never can be sure friends because we are rivals, rivals politically, rivals commercially…With the Southern States, the case is entirely reversed. The population are an agricultural people. They furnish the raw material of our industry, and they consume the products which we manufacture from it. With them, every interest must lead us to cultivate friendly relations, and when the war began they at once recurred to England as their natural ally.”
In other words, the cotton plantations that ran on slave labour in the American South, were in service of the British Empire’s global cotton trade which also ran on slave labour from India and conducted terrible exploitation of its British cotton workers.
The American Civil War was about two different economic systems in opposition to each other, and it was the South that was the “natural ally” to the British Empire.
However, the Union won the Civil War and the United States managed to keep itself whole. The South had to end its slave labour and the United States managed to push back on Britain’s slave-based economic policy (for more on this story refer here).
In fact, many leaders throughout the world, during this period were pushing back on Britain’s slave-based economic policy of free trade enforced by the British East-India Company. With leading opposition coming out of Germany, Russia, Japan and China, in addition to the United States.
In 1879, Otto von Bismarck broke Germany’s free trade system implementing an American style tariff policy for his nation. The kinship between Germany and the United States became so strong at this time that Otto von Bismarck’s speech in the parliament (1879) was quoted by McKinley on the floor in US Congress:
“A success of the United States in material development is the most illustrious of modern time. The American nation has not only successfully born and suppressed the most gigantic and expensive war of all history, but immediately afterward disbanded its army, found employment for all its soldiers and marines, paid off most of its debt, given labour and homes to all the unemployed in Europe as fast as they could arrive within its territory and still by a system of taxation so indirect as not to be perceived, much less felt… Because it is my deliberate judgement that the prosperity of America is mainly due to its protective laws, I urge that Germany has now reached that point, where it is necessary to imitate the tariff system of the United States.”
Otto von Bismarck was heavily organising for the building of the Berlin to Baghdad railway, which after much resistance and delay would only be completed in 1940. If this has been accomplished during Otto von Bismarck’s life, the Middle East could have avoided the Sykes Picot carving up.
In 1869, Japanese modernizers working directly with the Lincoln-Carey strategists ran the Meiji Restoration which industrialized Japan.
In the 1880s and 90s, Lincoln-Carey Philadelphia industrialists were contracted for huge infrastructure and nation-building projects in China. Hawaiian Christian missionary Frank Damon, having participated in the Carey group’s strategies at a very high level, helped instigate, shape, and build the Sun Yat-sen organization that gave birth to modern China.
Sun Yat-sen referred to his admiration of Lincoln’s USA as the basis for a new multipolar system saying:
“The world has been greatly benefited by the development of America as an industrial and a commercial Nation. So a developed China with her four hundred millions of population, will be another New World in the economic sense. The nations which will take part in this development will reap immense advantages. Furthermore, international cooperation of this kind cannot but help to strengthen the Brotherhood of Man.”
The Three Principles of the People by Sun Yat-sen and The National System of Political Economy by Friedrich List were both modelled off of American System economics.
It was crystal clear that the leadership of the world had embarked upon a common path and was desirous to enter a new age where slavery might truly become a thing of the past; that the individual was from henceforth to be seen as sacrosanct, that after centuries of brutal war the world was finally ready for peace and was willing to uphold liberty and freedom for all.
Was it just a dream?
No, it was not just a dream, although it was just as fleeting. The reason for this is found in the list of names below.
This list is by no means complete, there are many more names that were assassinated or ousted from their positions in this purge of “American System” supporters.
Yet, not even this ongoing purge was seen as enough to guarantee that nothing again would rise in opposition to the system of empire. It was for this reason that the world was dragged into two world wars…
Liberty for All?
“Two systems are before the world; the one looks to increasing the proportion of persons and of capital engaged in trade and transportation, and therefore to diminishing the proportion engaged in producing commodities with which to trade, with necessarily diminished return to the labor of all; while the other looks to increasing the proportion engaged in the work of production, and diminishing that engaged in trade and transportation, with increased return to all, giving to the laborer good wages, and to the owner of capital good profits… One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other in increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other we may be proud to call the American system, for it is the only one ever devised the tendency of which was that of elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world.”
– Henry C. Carey, Harmony of Interests, 1851
These words written by Henry C. Carey at one time were understood by many to be the inherent difference between the English vs American economic system. However, today, we have forgotten much about what constitutes the American system.
Romans too, were once faced with a similar existential circumstance.
Junius Brutus, known as the man who saved Rome, ended the tyranny of King Superbus’ rule during Rome’s Age of Kingdoms. It was Junius Brutus’ actions that brought about the formation of the Roman Republic, and it was he who had the Roman people vow that never again would they accept the arbitrary rule of a king.
However, over the course of nearly five hundred years, the Roman people increasingly forgot this important lesson and what it meant to be a Roman citizen. In 49 BCE, Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon leading to civil war and the Roman people offered him a crown for it.
The Roman people had forgotten what it meant to be a Roman citizen. They had forgotten that a free people who upheld dignity and liberty above all else would never accept to serve under the arbitrary rule of a king, an emperor. And upon forgetting such a thing, they had stripped themselves of any valour they once held. They had become mere subjects, at the mercy of whoever found themselves for that brief moment sitting on the throne (for more on this story refer here).
If we are not careful, such a moment will also visit us…
***
The world wars were fought to divide the partnerships that were forming against the system of empire. Germany and the United States were to be pitted against one another in both world wars. Japan was also to be pitted against the United States in the second world war. As a result, the economies of Germany and Japan were greatly set back, and their sovereignty was null and void. From post-WWII on, Germany and Japan had no choice but to enforce the will of the newly established Anglo-American Empire (for the story of how Britain created both world wars refer to Carroll Quigley’s book “The Anglo-American Establishment” and my paper).
Russia and China were all that was left. Hence, 76 years of Cold War going strong…
But how did the United States get drawn in by Britain as a consequence of the world wars?
Under the Surrounding Sea of Dictatorship
“Western Europe has only 20 to 30 more years of democracy left in it; after that it will slide, engineless and rudderless, under the surrounding sea of dictatorship, and whether the dictation comes from a politburo or a junta will not make that much difference.”
– Willy Brandt (German Federal Chancellor, right before he stepped down in 1974)
What Willy Brandt, who Samuel P. Huntington so fondly quotes in both his “The Crisis of Democracy” and “Disaffected Democracies” leaves out was that this was not only envisioned as an inevitability for Western Europe, but for the United States as well.
Churchill had announced the Iron Curtain on March 5th, 1946, declaring the Soviet Union and China as the next targets in sight. If the United States were to commit to this long-term cold war stand-off, it was understood that it was only a matter of time before they increasingly saw the necessity of empire, of a global dictatorship and abandon their constitutional ideals.
In August 1946, after nuclear bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Bertrand Russell (member of the Fabian Society and British grand strategist) wrote The Bomb and Civilization, calling for a one world government:
“Either war or civilization must end and if it is to be war that ends, there must be an international authority, with the sole power to make the new bombs…But I fear that all of this is utopian…If America were more imperialistic, there would be another possibility, less utopian and less desirable, but still preferable to obliteration of civilized life. It would be possible for Americans to use their position of superiority to insist upon disarmament not only in Germany and Japan, but everywhere except the United States, or at any rate, in every country not prepared to enter into a close military alliance with the United States…During the next few years, this policy should be enforced. If one or two wars were necessary, they would be brief and would soon end in decisive American victory. In this way, a new League of Nations could be formed under American leadership, and the peace of the world could be securely established. But I fear that respect for international justice would stop Washington from adopting this ‘policy’.”
Just a few months later, in October 1946, Russell writes On the End of Nation-States published in the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists:
“There is only one way in which great wars can be permanently prevented, and that is the establishment of an international government…There is one other method by which in theory the peace of the world could be secured, and that is the supremacy of one nation or one closely allied group of nations. By this method, Rome secured the peace of the Mediterranean area for several centuries. America at this moment, if it were bellicose and imperialistic could compel the rest of the world to disarm, and establish a worldwide monopoly of American armed forces. But the country has no wish for such enterprises. And in a few years, the opportunity will be gone. In the near future a world war, however terrible, would probably end in American victory without the destruction of civilization in the Western Hemisphere. An American victory would no doubt lead to a world government under the hegemony of the United States, a result which for my part I should welcome with enthusiasm.”
Incredibly, in the year 1946, a little over a year after the end of WWII, Russell was calling for yet another world war, a war that would finish off the last two countries who threatened Anglo-American global hegemony, Russia and China.
The reason why Russell was stating that in a few years the opportunity would be gone was in reference to the Soviet Union and China getting the bomb, to which at that point, the great strategic advantage of the United States with seemingly next to nil consequence, this window of “opportunity” for unilateral colossal destruction would be lost.
It was for this reason that in November 1948, Russell while addressing a gathering at Westminster School, shocked his listeners when he advocated a pre-emptive nuclear strike against the Soviet Union. He argued that a war between the United States and the Soviet Union was inevitable. It would, therefore, be a humanitarian gesture to get a nuclear war over with quickly and unilaterally.
On the 29th of August, the Soviet Union conducted its first successful weapon test. The so-called window of “opportunity” was lost for the formation of a quick American led global domination.
The Soviets had discovered how to create an atomic bomb several years before the 1953 date forecast by the CIA. This advent was a discouraging one for those who had had similar hopes to that of Russell, however, they understood it not as all hope was lost, but that a much longer game would now have to be played.
The Soviets acquisition of the atomic bomb was used as a justification to form a military industrial complex within the United States.
The Joint Intelligence Committee submitted an estimate of the nature of the nuclear threat from the Soviets. JIC-502, titled “Implications of Soviet Possession of Atomic Weapons” and drafted January 20th 1950 claimed that once the Soviets had 200 atomic bombs, they could launch a surprise attack and defeat the United States.
It was JIC-502 which would be the first to put forward a justification for the preventive first strike concept, supported by a massive military buildup under the pretence of pre-emptive war.
NSC-68 would be drafted the same year, declaring that the U.S. was in the moral equivalent of war with the Soviet Union and called for a massive military buildup to be completed by 1954 dubbed the “year of maximum danger”, the year JIC-502 claimed the Soviets would achieve military superiority and be able to launch war against the U.S. This proposed military buildup would increase the defense budget from $10 billion to $40 billion from 1950-53. (As we now know this decision was not based on any actual observations of Soviet capability or intention, for more on this refer here.)
During this same period another security doctrine was drafted, titled “NSC-75: A Report to the NSC by the Executive Secretary on British Military Commitments”. The report concluded that if the British Empire collapsed, and Britain could no longer carry out these deployments, in defending the “free world” against the Soviets, the U.S. would not be able to carry out its current foreign policy, including NSC-68.
It was thus concluded in the report that it would be more cost-effective to aid Britain in saving its Empire!
If you were ever wondering why the CIA was constantly found paired with British Intelligence, starting from its very inception, in a series of coups in countries they had no reason to be in, now you know why (for more on this refer here).
The U.S. had gone from an explicit mission to end imperialism worldwide under Roosevelt, to actively supporting and upholding British colonies and vassal states under Truman.
Caesar had been handed his crown and the American people had no idea.
A Century of War
As a consequence of this very foolish decision, the United States found itself doing the bidding of the British Empire, and there was a great deal to do after WWII in re-securing British interests.
You see, much of the world had understood WWII to be about the sovereignty of nation-states against the tyranny of fascism and empire. After all, the imperialists and the fascists were often found linked hand in hand, as seen with Edward VIII (though he was not alone in the British Royal family in his views), the Vichy government in France, King of Italy Victor Emmanuel III who appointed Benito Mussolini as Prime Minister in 1922 (who only deposed Mussolini in 1943 when it was clear they were going to lose the war) and Imperial Japan under Emperor Hirohito.
It is for this reason that we saw, before WWII was even over, the imperialists and the fascists in discussion with each other as to what would form the post-war world. It is for this reason that the countries chosen to oversee this post-WWII Grand Strategy would be the U.S., Britain, France, Germany and Japan, rather than Roosevelt’s choice of the U.S., Russia, Britain and China.
However, countries from all throughout the world started to rise up against their colonial oppressors once WWII was “won.” For they understood that if freedom and sovereignty for all had indeed won, there was no further place for the brutal rule of colonialism. Finally, all countries would have the right for self-determination.
Ho Chi Minh, a Roosevelt ally who had fought against the Japanese fascist imperialists during WWII, signed the Declaration of Independence for a new nation, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam on September 2nd, 1945, stating the following:
“A people who have courageously opposed French domination for more than eighty years, a people who have fought side by side with the Allies against the Fascists during these last years—such a people must be free and independent.”
After a long and horrific battle against the ruthless Japanese fascists, with support during the war from the United States and China, it was the hope of Ho Chi Minh that Vietnam could return to its former days of peace with its new-found independence from colonial rule.
Instead, the French would re-enter into Vietnam to re-secure their colonial asset. When sparks of revolution also started to form in Algeria, the United States agreed to enter Vietnam in support of France’s colonial interests (for more on this refer here).
There was also another reason.
In the November 3rd, 1965 Draft Memorandum from Secretary of Defense McNamara to President Johnson, it is written under “Courses of Action in Vietnam”:
“The February decision to bomb North Vietnam and the July approval of Phase I deployments make sense only if they are in support of a long-run United States policy to contain Communist China. China – like Germany in 1917, like Germany in the West and Japan in the East in the late 30’s, and like the USSR in 1947 – looms as a major power threatening to undercut our importance and effectiveness in the world and, more remotely but more menacingly, to organize all of Asia against us…This understanding of a straightforward security threat is interwoven with another perception – namely, that we have our view of the way the US should be moving and of the need for the majority of the rest of the world to be moving in the same direction if we are to achieve our national objective…the role we have inherited and have chosen for ourselves for the future is to extend our influence and power to thwart ideologies that are hostile to these aims and to move the world, as best we can, in the direction we prefer. Our ends cannot be achieved and our leadership role cannot be played if some powerful and virulent nation -whether Germany, Japan, Russia or China – is allowed to organize their part of the world according to a philosophy contrary to ours.”
A philosophy that counters Anglo-American supremacy that is.
Bandung: The Voice of the People
Despite the Americans launching the Korean War from 1950 to 1953, and partaking in a coup alongside British MI6 of Iran’s Prime Minister Mosaddegh and derailing Iran’s century and a half fight for sovereignty, much of the world still remained hopeful that the United States had not yet fully succumbed to the siren’s call towards empire.
It was for this reason that the Bandung Conference was held, a conference you have likely never heard of, and where more than half of the world’s population was represented in their call for the right to self-determination. It was these countries’ hope that the United States would be in support of this, for they understood that they were unlikely to succeed in their defiance against systems of empire without American support.
They also understood that the United States’ founding principles were for this very thing and it was their hope that Americans would remember their original cause against empire.
The Bandung Conference held in April 1955 was the first large-scale Asian–African Conference in history, its five organisers were Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka (formerly the British colony Ceylon), Myanmar (formerly the British colony Burma), and Pakistan (all fresh out of British and Dutch colonialism). The conference took place over six days and was held in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. 29 countries participated, representing a total population of 1.5 billion people, 54% of the world’s population at the time.
The conference’s stated aims were to promote Afro-Asian economic and cultural cooperation and to oppose colonialism or neocolonialism by any nation. The conference was an important step towards the eventual creation of the Non-Aligned Movement, which was as an effort to avoid the polarized world of the Cold War between Communist and Capitalist states. Drawing on the principles agreed at the Bandung Conference in 1955, the Non-Aligned Movement was established in 1961 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia through an initiative of the Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Ghanaian President Kwame Nkrumah, Indonesian President Sukarno, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser and Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito.
All of these men in the above picture were elected leaders of their respective countries who were adherents to The American System, and still had great hope for the United States to return to its roots as an anti-imperialist force in the world (for more on this refer here.)
This was very much what made up the spirit of the Bandung Conference as seen by this statement by Sun Yat-sen, China’s first President of the Republic of China, in his book A True Solution for the Chinese Question (1904):
“To work out the salvation of China is exclusively the duty of our own but as the problem has recently found a worldwide interest, we, in order to make sure of our success…must appeal to the people of the United States in particular for your sympathy and support, either moral or material, because you are the pioneers of western civilization in Japan: Because we intend to model our government after yours; Above all, because you are the champion of liberty and democracy. We hope to find many Lafayette’s among you.”
And in his 1919 treatise:
Within the opening speech at the Bandung Conference (April 1955), President Sukarno (one of its leading organisers) spoke:
“Today is a famous anniversary in that battle –against colonialism. On the 18th of April, 1775, just 180 years ago, Paul Revere rode at midnight through the New England countryside, warning of the approach of the British troops and of the opening of the American War of Independence, the first successful anti-colonialist war in history. About this midnight ride the poet Longfellow wrote:
“A cry of defiance and not of fear,
“A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,
“And a word that shall echo for evermore…”
Yes, it shall echo forevermore. That battle which began 180 years ago is not yet completely won.
…Colonialism has also its modern dress, in the form of economic control, intellectual control, actual physical control by a small but alien community within a nation…It behooves us to take particular care to ensure that the principle which is usually called the ‘live and let live principle’ – mark, I do not say the principle of laisser-faire, laisser-passer, of Liberalism, which is obsolete – is first of all applied by us most completely within our own Asian and African frontiers.”
In April 1954 just before the Geneva Conference on Vietnam, Zhou Enlai, Premier of the People’s Republic of China, initiated bilateral agreements with India (under the leadership of Nehru) and with Myanmar (under the leadership of U Nu) which established the Five Principles of Peaceful Co-Existence. This initiative by Zhou, Nehru and U Nu would become a central concept motivating the Spirit of Bandung.
Bandung Conference 1955.
Panchsheel or Five Principles of Coexistence was a new set of principles for the conduct of international relations that would reflect the aspirations of all nations to co-exist and prosper together in peace and harmony. It was a peaceful offering as an alternative to the war mongering Cold War Doctrine.
In 2005 the Ministry of External Affairs Government of India released a pamphlet for the 50th anniversary of Panchsheel:
“The timeless relevance of Panchsheel is based on its firm roots in the cultural traditions of its originators, two of the world’s most ancient civilisations. The linkage that was established by the spread of Buddhism in China laid the historical basis for the formulation of the principles of Panchsheel by India and China.
On the 50th anniversary of Panchsheel, we can without hesitation say that its relevance, as embodied in the Joint Statement of 1954, shines as brightly today as when it was first conceived. Panchsheel was developed in the context of a post-colonial world where many were seeking an alternative ideology dedicated to peace and development of all.
Fifty years later, the world is now searching for an alternative to the adversarial constructs that dominated the Cold War era. Countries all over the world are focusing on creating extended and mutually supportive arrangements, and attempting to define a new economic, social and political world order in the context of globalisation, non-traditional security threats and the quest for multi-polarisation.
Today, Panchsheel can help the world move away from the traditional concepts of balance of power and competitive security, the consequent searching for an enemy, and the predicating of activities on conflicts rather than cooperation.
…What should be stressed today is that the principles of Panchsheel are not just empowering principles, they are also guiding principles that enshrine a certain code of behaviour. Their essence is the non-use of power, the approach of tolerance, ‘of living one’s life, learning from others but neither interfering nor being interfered with’, and the obligation to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It may not be out of place in a world searching for moral certainties to emphasise this message of Panchsheel.”
British Southeast Asia Command (SEAC) – aka Save England’s Asian Colonies!
Before WWII was even over, Churchill in 1943 at the Quebec conference established a British Southeast Asia Command (SEAC) headquartered in Kandy British Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) with Adm. Louis Mountbatten in command.
What this did was divide the Southeast Asia between General MacArthur’s Pacific Command and Mountbatten’s SEAC. The British got Burma (now Myanmar) and Malaya (now Malaysia) their previous colonies, as well as Thailand, Singapore and Sumatra. But they were not satisfied and continued to pressure the United States to allow British priority in “liberating” the entire region.
The U.S. intention in agreeing to the establishment of SEAC was that the British would take a larger role in defeating the Japanese fascists in Burma, thus opening up a southern route for the resupply to China to aid in their fight against the Japanese fascists.
By 1944, however, Mountbatten had successfully sabotaged this effort, such that General Stilwell, Commander of the US forces in China-Burma-India concluded:
“Limey” is an American derogatory nickname for a British person. Some of the American military personnel joked that SEAC in truth stood for Save England’s Asian Colonies.
This was not a far stretch of the imagination considering the head of British intelligence operations in China was John Keswick the chairman of Jardine Matheson, a major player in the opium trade that was enforced on China against its will, culminating in China’s loss of the two Opium Wars against Britain. Keswick and his special operations were ordered out of China in 1942.
General Wedemeyer, who was a United States Army commander who served in Asia during World War II from October 1943 to the end of the war, recognised one of the major reasons why the CCP and the Kuomintang were unable to form an alliance against the Japanese was due to British sabotage and instigation. The British were playing the same old same old imperial game of flaring up the bad blood that had already developed between the two groups, the age old game of divide and conquer. The CCP did recognise that this would ultimately lead to the balkanisation of China, if the union of China against the Japanese imperialists was not put forward as the number one priority before all else.
General Wedemeyer stated:
The actual target of this British policy was revealed in an article in the London Daily Mail, October 1945:
“anti-British psychology has not been discouraged by our American ally. US propagandists have been working from Lanchow, gateway to Tibet, to the Gobi Desert of Mongolia…A Great plan to dam the Yangtze, known as the ‘Yangtze Valley Authority’ will be one of the greatest engineering contracts of modern times…Their geologists have plodded the old caravan trails to the fringes of Tibet and the wild western tribal countries.”
In other words, the British had already identified the “threat” over fifty years ago of an independent China who had already had her sights on great industrial projects such as the Yangtze dam (now completed as the Three Gorges Dam) and the reconstruction of the old Silk Road (now the center of China’s development policy under the name of the Eurasian Land-Bridge). And, as today, there is much pressure for the U.S. not to collaborate with China on such great projects. And, as today, Britain and the U.S. regard the Belt and Road as a threat to western hegemony and have even gone so far as to call the BRI a threat to national security.
Projects like the Mekong River Basin Survey modeled after the Tennessee Valley Authority were set back for decades or were never built to this day, such as the Kra Canal or Thai Canal, which would connect the Gulf of Thailand with the Andaman Sea across the Kra Isthmus in southern Thailand. It is envisaged that such a canal would improve transportation in the region, similar to the Panama Canal and Suez Canal and thus greatly increase the standard of living and development in the surrounding areas.
This exposes the true intention of the Cold War doctrine which continues to this day, that the threat was never really considered communism, but rather the cause of nationalism (to which the communists more often than not supported), since under nationalism, industrialisation is considered fundamental to the liberation of the people. It is the liberation of a people and the creation of sovereign nation states which is considered the real enemy to a system of imperialism, which is the reality of the western framework today.
Such remarks by General Stilwell and General Wedemeyer further showcase how American foreign policy was hijacked by Britain’s foreign policy upon the death of President Roosevelt.
Roosevelt died April 12th, 1945. Two week later the first United Nations conference was held (April 25 to June 26, 1945).
At the first United Nations Conference, Lord Cranborne spoke:
With Roosevelt’s death the British were able to convince the rather naïve President Truman to transfer post-war responsibility for all of Southeast Asia to the British SEAC, under Mountbatten.
The British (and to a lesser extent the French and the Dutch) at re-conquest of their former colonies, made promises of good intentions to eventually de-colonize, however, once they had established their power militarily, they reneged on their promises. The justification being that these colonies were too weak to defend themselves against the spread of Russian dictated communism.
People such as Sukarno, overnight, went from being criticised as an abider to Japanese fascism to instead being a communist sympathiser. And thus, much of Asia and Africa found themselves in a similarly debased fashion, they were not allowed to be individuals, to be free to create their own fate from something new. They were not free to have their own ideas, their own schools of thought, instead they were treated as children, with no choice but to choose the ideology of one parent or the other. However, this was largely western hypocrisy, as was so clearly seen by the very domineering presence of western imperialism and increasingly clandestine warfare.
The reason why so many nationalist leaders were open to working with the communists within their country was because the communists were also for nationalism and against imperialism, and nothing came remotely close to the level of destruction that was occurring on a military and economic level from western imperialism, which curbed industrial progress in favour of backwardness. To side with western imperialism was equivalent to agreeing to perpetual tyranny through poverty and enslavement.
This is why so many countries continued a strong pro-American sentiment, even after the disaster of the Korean War, because they recognized a choice between western imperialism and Soviet communism was an artificial construct, and that there existed a very clear third option that of the American System of economics which was opposed to systems of imperialism. However, as we have seen, this pro-American System, pro-Roosevelt sentiment was entirely ignored.
At the Crossroad
Are we committed in handing Caesar the crown? I am not so sure for there remains a great deal of love for liberty and the pursuit of happiness, however, we must remind ourselves that this was never in the cause of liberty for a few but rather liberty for all.
If we delude ourselves into believing in such a thing as liberty for a few, and you make think you are included in such a privileged few, take heed, for tomorrow who is to say what your station shall be?
Liberty for a few, is in reality, Liberty for none. It is the acceptance to be ruled by a Caesar, and be satisfied with the crumbs of freedom and thus to have no freedom at all. If we side with the world’s oppressor, we too will be consumed in the process.
And thus, I will leave off with President Sukarno’s further comments in his opening speech at Bandung. Take heed, for the world is still awaiting, will the United States finally wake from its century of madness and return to its founding principles?
“Great chasms yawn between nations and groups of nations. Our unhappy world is torn and tortured, and the peoples of all countries walk in fear lest, through no fault of their own, the dogs of war are unchained once again…The nations of Asia and Africa cannot, even if they wish to, avoid their part in finding solutions to these problems…We have heavy responsibilities to ourselves, and to the world, and to the yet unborn generations.
‘We are living in a world of fear…Perhaps this fear is a greater danger than the danger itself.’ [quoting President Roosevelt]
… Bear in mind the words of one of Asia’s greatest sons [Sun Yat-sen]: ‘To speak is easy. To act is hard. To understand is hardest. Once one understands, action is easy.’
…The highest purpose of man is the liberation of man from his bonds of fear, his bonds of human degradation, his bonds of poverty – the liberation of man from the physical, spiritual and intellectual bonds which have for too long stunted the development of humanity’s majority. And let us remember, Sisters and Brothers, that for the sake of all that, we Asians and Africans must be united.”

THE END
Interesting article about a very complex subject. Certainly the British have always played their own hand, as any rational people would. My bottom line is that, like it or not, they are and always will be closer to the historic American population than any other country. That is a fact. They may be two-faced, bottom dealing cousins, but they are still cousins. I was disgusted to read a book by a former military guy, Bacevich, who just could not understand why we are allied to and fiends with the UK. He thought we should cozy up to the Chinese, the Hindus, the Zulu’s, for Christ sake. The man is a total fool. For all their faults, we are stuck with the Brits and they with us. Case closed. If you think the colored folks or even the Continental Europeans are our friends, put the bong down.
We cozied up to Israel instead, that has worked out well. (sarc) Rothschilds own England too same/same.
the english nobility are the sock puppets of the jews. the jews needed the english as their face to the world because most of the world was not jewish (or khazarian) and would have nothing to do with jewery, talmudism, and sorcery had it come straight from jews. so they put on a mask – like the biden actors.
it is the jews who murdered charles 1 and brought in the glorious revolution and william of orange. the jews had complete control of the british nobility and throne by the time of napolean and beyond, especially with the useless piece of shit, george iv. edward vii was another total piece of jewish and jewish controlled shit.
follow the money. the rothschilds control over quadrillion in assets; the rockefellers are probably still in the mid to upper trillions. the british crown – meh – not so much. the british monarchy does the bidding of its master.
the british aristocracy for the most part is vile AND is jewish. jews infiltrated british nobility when they started oozing back into the country in the 15th and 16th centuries. the dichotomy between english aristocracy and jewry is almost extinct. for example, prince phillip was jewish and so were his offspring contrary to that canard about jewishness passing only from the mother. where else in the world is ethnicity passed only from the mother? what another effing crock of jewish lies. but as matters stand, it is not semitic ethnicity but khazarian which is a mutt group of people who are a different species.
Much of your post was in my head. Very well said.
My head too AKJohn, , I think most here know I don’t have the warm fuzzies for the “Crown”, Tony laid it out well.
Thank you Tony, you saved me the trouble of saying it. This essay is a perfect description of how the Kenite/Edomite Hybrids who say they are Jews have divided and conquered the world and loaned both sides the funds to buy the Yidd’s weapons to kill and impoverish each other.
The Jews began marrying into the Scottish Nobility whom they first bankrupted. They then offered to marry into said Nobility and supply them with debt relief in exchange.
Then it was England’s turn. One wise King threw them out but Cromwell put them back in. Now all the High nobility are Kenite progeny of Satan by way of Cain(Cain=Kenites).
“This exposes the true intention of the Cold War doctrine which continues to this day, that the threat was never really considered communism, but rather the cause of nationalism (to which the communists more often than not supported), since under nationalism, industrialisation is considered fundamental to the liberation of the people. It is the liberation of a people and the creation of sovereign nation states which is considered the real enemy to a system of imperialism, which is the reality of the western framework today.”
There you have it. Nationalism is the enemy because it is the only method of defeating da jueze who say the are not.
Notice the tell the truth on Japan. They were Fascists. Hence the Amero/British need to make them the enemy so that only the two Jew created systems of Capitalism and Communism would be left standing to divy up the spoils of worldwide human subjugation and humiliation.

Asked why bankers would back Bolshevism, a system supposedly inimical to private ownership, Kahn tugged on his enormous cigar and explained that the bankers create apparent opposites to “remake the world” according to their specifications:
“You say that Marxism is the very antithesis of capitalism, which is equally sacred to us. It is precisely for this reason that they are direct opposites to one another, that they put into our hands the two poles of this planet and allow us to be its axis. These two contraries, like Bolshevism and ourselves, find their identity in the International. [Presumably, he means the Comintern.]
“These opposites … meet again in the identity of their purpose and end in the remaking of the world from above by the control of riches, and from below by revolution.
“Our mission consists in promulgating the new law and in creating a God, that is to say in purifying the idea of God and realizing it, when the time shall come. We shall purify the idea by identifying it with the nation of Israel, which has become its own Messiah. The advent of it will be facilitated by the final triumph of Israel…
We can’t defend ourselves if we can’t even name the enemy.

The plandemic is inspired by the satanic doctrine of “Creative Destruction” found in Cabalist Judaism & Freemasonry. They are beginning their third world war to cover their COVID tracks.
They require the destruction of the old order which was dedicated to fulfilling God’s Will.
Then, the “Great Reset” will create a “New World Order” dedicated to serving Satan. Hell on Earth. Satanism.
It’s time to stop parsing their lies and focus on the OCCULT nature of the challenge we face.

Cromwell the moneylender was one of the first of the men of
obscure origin who arose to form the new ruling class of England.
His father, like the founder of the Cecil family, was a small publichouse keeper. Thomas, one of those born usurers who could be so
useful to great men, became a confidential agent of Wolsey. As his
master fell, he betrayed him, and formed contacts with the King, the
Duke of Norfolk and the Boleyns which made him presently the
master of the royal policy. Norfolk had him elected to the Parliament
of 1529. Cromwell had also international contacts, had traveled
about the continent, and may have fought in Italy.
With no religion but greed for gold and power, he was utterly
unscrupulous, bold and insolent when he could afford to be, cringing
if necessary. All his life, even after he had grown enormously rich on
the loot of the monasteries, he added to his wealth by usury. He was
the founder of that Cromwell family which for the next century would
throw its powerful influence between the English people and the
Catholic Faith they still loved. His nephew and the daughter of
another usurer from Genoa became the grandparents of Oliver
Cromwell. It was the function of Thomas Cromwell to lead Henry by
gradual steps to a position from which he could not retreat, to
terrorize all political opposition by a reign of blood, and to set up a
wall of material interest against both the Church and the ancient
nobility he and his friends wished to supplant.

Sooner or later, most of the woe in the Anglophone world comes down to Mr. Cromwell… and his Puritan suck-ups in North America.
The money lender had a firm grip on England since at least Henry VIII . They gave the West total debt slavery though usury, but first had to break the resistance of the Catholic church against usury and this they accomplished by breaking the unification of the Christian Church by a psyop they masqueraded as ‘ Reformation.’
When Capitalism came to England .This book is a must read for anyone trying to understand how the money lenders came to wield so power of the West.
If you’re interested in reading this book anytime in the future, you should download it now, because history books of this nature are being systematically purged from the web.

Then was the time, if ever, to make a complete restoration of the
Catholic Faith in England. The people, except in money-ridden
London, loved it and wanted it. It cannot be said too often that
Protestantism was not a popular thing, not an English thing, during
most of the sixteenth century. Though it appealed everywhere to
nationalistic interests and prejudices, it was essentially but a form of
the international opposition to the international Church: an imported
thing that had to be hawked up with propaganda for generations. It
had to be “sold” to the English people. It was for them to find out
later that it was they who had been sold.
Among the Protestant minority, too, there were many loyal
Englishmen who were beginning to understand that they had been
deceived by the Reformers into supporting something quite different
from what they wanted. There were many in 1553 who agreed with
the learned Dr. Richard Cox, one of the earliest Lutherans in
England, and tutor to Edward VI; his reforming zeal had been so
great that he had destroyed, as government commissioner, some of
the most valuable books at Oxford, “from a notion that they
encouraged popery and superstition.” But he was thoroughly
disillusioned when he saw that the vaunted suppression of the
monasteries had not only failed to correct religious abuses, but had
increased them; besides which, it had led to wholesale corruption of
public and private life, and to economic disaster on a wide scale.
A whole class of decent Englishmen, of whom too little has been
remembered in history, was swept off the church lands and doomed
to poverty, vagabondage and often crime: mostly small farmers and
farm laborers with their families, dispossessed because the new
owners found it more profitable to raise sheep and needed only one
shepherd instead of six tillers of the soil. Those men and their
families were dumped on the roads at the very time when the
machinery which the Church had built up for the relief of poverty was
also destroyed, with nothing adequate to take its place. The Catholic
hospitals were crippled or handed over to politicians. The
monasteries and convents that had fed the helpless and cared for
the sick were now in private and greedy hands. Since the nouveaux
riches no longer believed in Purgatory, they had not even the motive
of helping their own souls to urge them to leave money to charity. As
for education, it was wrecked for centuries. Well has it been said that
the much vaunted “public schools of Edward VI” were those that he
did not destroy.
Cox was in an excellent position to see the working-out of the
glorious experiment. Even before the death of Henry VIII he wrote to
his friend Sir William Paget words which might have cost him his
head had they fallen into less friendly hands. He mentioned the
“great lack in this realm of schools, preachers, houses and livings for
impotent orphans, widows, poor and miserable, and what lack there
shall be utterly intolerable if there be not a sufficient number of
ministers, priests established in parishes of great circuit and of great
number. . . . There is such a number of importune wolves that be
able to devour colleges, chantries, cathedral churches, universities
and their lands, and a thousand times as much. . . . Our posterity will
wonder at us. This realm will come into foul ignorance and
barbarousness when the reward of learning is gone.”13 Paget made
light of all this, for he was one of the wolves, having absorbed church
lands worth 20,000 pounds a year. Cox, however, had the courage to
reply:
“Our forefathers, who bestowed so plentifully upon their parsons
and curates, thought little that the greediness of a few should devour
their godly liberality contrary to their godly intent and meaning. . . . I
am sorry with my heart when I remember that ye be linked with
them, though it be but in one benefice.”14 Later, as Bishop of Ely
under Elizabeth, this man was hounded to death by others of the
wolves; but not before he wrote sadly, “They look and contend
vehemently for a more pure reformation; but if the church lands were
dispersed, their reformation would soon be at an end.”

Most excellent.

70 years ain’t very long to have kept others in the gutter for our own benefit. I’m not being insensitive. The advantages squandered, have surely reached their zenith.
How interesting that so many among us would gladly hand Caesar the throne now.
P.S. God Bless ” Vinegar” Joe
This is idiotic history. Russia discouraged the Royal Navy in the civil war era. Really? Just ten years previously the Russian navy had tacked tail and scurried into their harbours when the Royal Navy approached Russian shores during the Crimea War. From their the history just gets worse. I am personally disgusted by the policies, and behaviours, of the British government during the covid, and Ukraine war era. Nevertheless they are not responsible for the moral bankruptcy and ineptitude of the United States, and her government. That belongs strictly to America. Man up Stucky and put the responsibility where it belongs. The United States.
No country would waste the money to nuke Plainfield, NJ Stucky, NYC YES, but not Plainfield. I figure how close you are, it is a twofer if they drop one on NYC.
^^^^ This was ‘spose to be on the Chinese comments thread…. not sure where I went wrong.
Oh come on Bea, NJ is the “Garden State”.

Your relatives who died under tyranny would really be proud of you.
Pound sand you idiot.
I was speaking of the above Jews, not you Flea.
Oh. Sorry.
Do some research, bruh
The whole society is based on a kind of a fagdom…
Why was Biden recorded on a hot mic saying “God save the queen ” when Trump was inaugurated?
He was talking about Pete Buttgeek?
Amazed no mention of Cecil Rhodes, Milner, et al of The Round Table is in this article. Evil homos whose one focus was the merger of GB & the USA into one entity.
Shadow,
All of that foundational evil is explained and foot noted here:
Mark-
Thx, nobody else has made my name’s connection. And I’ve used it for 10+ yrs. on all blogs. BTW, “Endora” was the original Margo Lane. Assume Orson was pegging her in real life, as she was part of The Mercury Theatre, along with Joseph Cotten and others that included that future a-hole Hahvahd Law prof, John Houseman.
Will buy the top book, appreciated.
I did once before years ago…but you may have missed it.
‘Killing Uncle Sam’ was written just before 2016…and is one of the top investigative explanations of the last 200 years that put us/U.S. in the controlled collapse we are circling the drain around today.
You will not regret reading it…many here know most/much of it…but everyone will discover missing links…I know I did.
It’s follow up is ‘Killing The Planet’ and its focus is more international.
In Killing the Planet: How A Financial Cartel Doomed Mankind, best-selling authors Rodney Howard-Browne and Paul L. Williams investigate the true motives and consequences of the Pilgrim Society. Early members of the Society included J. P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, Andrew Mellon, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Paul Warburg, Mortimer I. Schiff, Otto Kahn, and John D. Rockefeller. Although the Pilgrim Society and the powerful men involved are often praised for their philanthropic actions, Howard-Browne and Williams show that the Society was self-serving and subjected the American people to a brutal system of economic tyranny, one which is still in place today. As a sequel to The Killing of Uncle Sam, Killing the Planet is a thoroughly documented and impeccably researched book, with over 1,500 footnotes. It shows how mankind has become enslaved within the Luciferian world system that is managed and controlled by the world’s wealthiest families. The book is not full of conspiracy theories but instead, unfortunately for all of humanity, full of gut-wrenching facts.
Together they are a one two punch of investigative truth that everyone I have recommended them to, and who actually read them, has been blown away by.
Both these books Name Names…strong foot notes…the authors are frigg’in fearless.
The last book in their trilogy is coming out soon.
Here is another of their books, but I have not read it.
Lies. Lies. Lies. Nearly everything you are being told about the COVID-19 pandemic by the mainstream media is untrue. The virus presents little threat to healthy individuals. Those who have died from the disease, by and large, were people over seventy in poor physical condition or at the very least with some underlying conditions. Many of the victims resided in nursing homes. The wearing of masks is, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci and the new medical mafia, only symbolic, and the quarantining of the healthy has resulted only in a sharp rise in suicide and deaths of despair. The pandemic has been orchestrated by a cabal of billionaires, known as “THE GOOD CLUB,” to initiate history’s greatest transference of wealth and to further the globalization of poverty. The virus was created in military laboratories within the United States as a biological weapon. Even the riots have been staged. The Phantom Virus: How an Unseen Enemy Shut Down the Planet! by Rodney Howard-Browne and Paul L. Williams will prove it.
The 19th-century German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel explained how an evil force could enslave humanity by entrapping us into a frenzied thought process leading to our destruction. By influencing the mainline news, social media, politics, and education, this diabolical force has convinced societies to defend themselves against a self-imposed threat. See Post 117 The Hegelian Dialectic. Through their propaganda, this evil force has caused a pandemic of compliance. These puppet masters change cultures to fit their narrative by proposing a solution to a self-imposed problem. They instigate an event, watch for society’s reaction, and formulate a solution (problem, response, resolution) that ushers in a foreordained consequence.
However, the problem is always a red herring. A red herring event leads people to predetermined conclusions by constructing a false narrative. A red herring misleads people as a consequence of a black swan event. Nine-eleven, the threat of global warming, and COVID-19 are black swan events. The red herrings are the war on terror, strict environmental policies, and lock-downs. The Twin Towers attack ushered in the war on terror; the threat of global warming threatens our free enterprise system, and COVID-19 ushered in the fight against freedom. COVID-19 is the problem, the reaction is panic, and the consequence is the concentration of power. COVID-19 is not the end game. It is a drill, a rehearsal that will usher us into a one-world government controlled by the Good Club. The purpose of the lock-downs worldwide is to prepare nations for the final world government.
The Good Club is the name given to the tiny global elite of billionaires. The names of some of the members are familiar figures: Bill Gates, George Soros, Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, David Rockefeller, and Ted Turner. The Good Club is a deep state milieu formed in 2009. Its members were 14 of the world’s wealthiest people, invited by Bill Gates “to save the world,” thus Good Club. The billionaires favor a concentration of power, a new world order, and a reduction in population and carbon emissions. The group is responsible for inflicting the world with the Covid-19 virus and is now pushing everyone in the world to get the mRNA shot.
Anyone need more proof that we are the evil empire. Try this 17 minute video of us and our partners ISIS destroying ancient monuments for no better reason than it’s what the jueze wanted.
“Perfidious Albion” is a pejorative phrase used within the context of international relations diplomacy to refer to acts of diplomatic slights, duplicity, treachery and hence infidelity (with respect to perceived promises made to or alliances formed with other nation states) by monarchs or governments of the United Kingdom (or England prior to 1707) in their pursuit of self-interest.
Perfidious signifies one who does not keep his faith or word (from the Latin word perfidia), while Albion is an ancient and now poetic name for Great Britain. (Source: Wikipedia)
Since the 13th century!!!!
Brits cannot be trusted. Never. It is in their dna.
Brilliant work Stucky. Thank you very much for providing an amazing history which will be passed by most Brits who have no idea of the truth – just follow what they are told. Here’s an example of the crass stupidity of the BBC trying to sell the scamdemic and Vaxx – long read from a favourite author:
OH, I forgot – have a laugh and note typo at number 13 should read “British” 🙂
