The Elite, the ‘Great Game’ and World War III
This article was originally published in June 2011
The control of the US, and of global politics, by the wealthiest
families of the planet is exercised in a powerful, profound and
clandestine manner. This control began in Europe and has a continuity
that can be traced back to the time when the bankers discovered it was
more profitable to give loans to governments than to needy individuals.
These banking families and their subservient beneficiaries have
come to own most major businesses over the two centuries during which
they have secretly and increasingly organised themselves as controllers
of governments worldwide and as arbiters of war and peace.
Unless we understand this we will be unable to understand the real
reasons for the two world wars and the impending Third World War, a war
that is almost certain to begin as a consequence of the US attempt to
seize and control Central Asia. The only way out is for the US to back
off – something the people of the US and the world want, but the elite
does not.
The US is a country controlled through the privately owned Federal
Reserve, which in turn is controlled by the handful of banking families
that established it by deception in the first place.
In his interesting book
The Secret Team, Col. Fletcher
Prouty, briefing officer of the US President from 1955-63, narrates a
remarkable incident in which Winston Churchill made a most revealing
utterance during World War II:
“On this particular night there had been a heavy raid on
Rotterdam. He sat there, meditating, and then, as if to himself, he
said, ‘Unrestricted submarine warfare, unrestricted air bombing – this
is total war.’ He continued sitting there, gazing at a large map, and
then said, ‘Time and the Ocean and some guiding star and High Cabal have
made us what we are’.”
Prouty further states:
“This was a most memorable scene and a revelation of
reality that is infrequent, at best. If for the great Winston Churchill,
there is a ‘High Cabal’ that has made us what we are, our definition is
complete. Who could know better than Churchill himself during the
darkest days of World War II, that there exists, beyond doubt, an
international High Cabal? This was true then. It is true today,
especially in these times of the One World Order. This all-powerful
group has remained superior because it had learned the value of
anonymity.” This “High Cabal” is the “One World Cabal” of today, also
called the elite by various writers.
The High Cabal and What They Control
The elite owns the media, banks, defence and oil industry. In his book
Who’s Who of the Elite
Robert Gaylon Ross Sr. states: “It is my opinion that they own the US
military, NATO, the Secret Service, the CIA, the Supreme Court, and many
of the lower courts. They appear to control, either directly or
indirectly, most of the state, county, and local law enforcement
agencies.”
The elite is intent on conquering the world through the use of the
abilities of the people of the United States. It was as far back as 1774
that Amschel Mayer Rothschild stated at a gathering of the twelve
richest men of Prussia in Frankfurt: “Wars should be directed so that
the nations on both sides should be further in our debt.” He further
enunciated at the same meeting: “Panics and financial depressions would
ultimately result in World Government, a new order of one world
government.”
The elite owns numerous “think tanks” that work for expanding,
consolidating and perpetuating its hold on the globe. The Royal
Institute of International Affairs (RIIA), the Council on Foreign
Relations (CFR), the Bilderberg Group, the Trilateral Commission, and
many other similar organisations are all funded by the elite and work
for it. These think tanks publish journals, such as
Foreign Affairs,
in which these imperialist and anti-mankind ideas are edified as
publications, and then, if need be, expanded in the form of books that
are given wide publicity.
Zbigniew Brzezinski and Henry Kissinger et al, as well as the neo-con
“thinkers,” owe their positions and good living standards to the
largesse of the elite. This is an important point that must be kept in
full view at all times. These thinkers and writers are on the payroll of
the elite and work for them. In case someone has any doubts about such a
statement, it might help to read the following quotes from Professor
Peter Dale Scott’s comprehensively researched book
The Road to 9/11 – Wealth, Empire, and the Future of America (University of California Press, 2007):
…Bundy’s Harvard protégé Kissinger was named to be
national security adviser after having chaired an important “study
group” at the Council on Foreign Relations. As a former assistant to
Nelson Rockefeller, Kissinger had been paid by Rockefeller to write a
book on limited warfare for the CFR. He had also campaigned hard in
Rockefeller’s losing campaign for the Presidential nomination in 1968.
Thus Rockefeller and the CFR might have been excluded from control of
the Republican Party, but not from the Republican White House. (Page 22)
The following quote from page 38 of the book is also very revealing:
The Kissinger-Rockefeller relationship was complex and
certainly intense. As investigative reporter Jim Hougan wrote:
“Kissinger, married to a former Rockefeller aide, owner of a Georgetown
mansion whose purchase was enabled only by Rockefeller gifts and loans,
was always a protégé of his patron Nelson Rockefeller, even when he
wasn’t directly employed by him.”
Professor Scott adds:
Nixon’s and Kissinger’s arrival in the White House in
1969 coincided with David Rockefeller’s becoming CEO of Chase Manhattan
Bank. The Nixon-Kissinger foreign policy of detente was highly congruous
with Rockefeller’s push to internationalise Chase Manhattan banking
operations. Thus in 1973 Chase Manhattan became the first American bank
to open an office in Moscow. A few months later, thanks to an invitation
arranged by Kissinger, Rockefeller became the first US banker to talk
with Chinese Communist leaders in Beijing.
How They Manipulate Public Opinion
In addition to these strategic “think tanks” the elite has set up a
chain of research institutes devoted to manipulating public opinion in a
manner the elite desires. As pointed out by John Coleman in his eye
opening book
The Tavistock Institute on Human Relations –
Shaping the Moral, Spiritual, Cultural, Political and Economic Decline of the United States of America,
it was in 1913 that an institute was established at Wellington House,
London for manipulation of public opinion. According to Coleman:
The modern science of mass manipulation was born at
Wellington House London, the lusty infant being midwifed by Lord
Northcliffe and Lord Rothmere. The British monarchy, Lord Rothschild,
and the Rockefellers were responsible for funding the venture… the
purpose of those at Wellington House was to effect a change in the
opinions of British people who were adamantly opposed to war with
Germany, a formidable task that was accomplished by “opinion making”
through polling. The staff consisted of Arnold Toynbee, a future
director of studies at the Royal Institute of International Affairs
(RIIA), Lord Northcliffe, and the Americans, Walter Lippmann and Edward
Bernays. Lord Northcliffe was related to the Rothschilds through
marriage.
Bernays was a nephew of Sigmund Freud, a fact never mentioned, and developed the technique of “
engineering consent.”
When Sigmund Freud moved to Britain he also, secretly, became
associated with this institute through the Tavistock Institute.
According to Coleman, Bernays “pioneered the use of psychology and other
social sciences to shape and form public opinion so that the public
thought such manufactured opinions were their own.”
The Tavistock Institute has a 6 billion dollar fund and 400
subsidiary organisations are under its control along with 3,000 think
tanks, mostly in the USA. The Stanford Research Institute, the Hoover
Institute, the Aspen Institute of Colorado, and many others, devoted to
manipulation of US as well as global public opinion, are Tavistock
offshoots. This helps explain why the US public, by and large, is so
mesmerised as to be unable to see things clearly and to react.
Bilderberg researcher Daniel Estulin quotes from Mary Scobey’s book
To Nurture Humanness
a statement attributed to Professor Raymond Houghton, that the CFR has
been clear for a very long time that “absolute behaviour control is
imminent… without mankind’s self realisation that a crisis is at hand.”
Also keep in mind that currently 80% of US electronic and print media
is owned by only six large corporations. This development has taken
place in the past two decades. These corporations are elite owned. It is
almost impossible for anyone who is acquainted with what is going on at
the global level to watch, even for a few minutes, the distortions,
lies and fabrications, incessantly pouring out of this media, a
propaganda and brainwashing organ of the elite.
Once your picture is clear it is also easy to notice the criminal
silence of the media on crimes being perpetrated against humanity at the
behest of the elite. How many people know that the cancer rates in
Fallujah, Iraq are
higher than those in Hiroshima and Nagasaki
because of the use of depleted uranium, and maybe other secret nuclear
devices, by US forces? Fallujah was punished for its heroic resistance
against the American forces.
The Importance of Eurasia
Why is the US in Central Asia? In order to understand this, one has
to look at the writings of the stooges of the elite – Brzezinski,
Kissinger, Samuel P Huntington, and their likes. It is important to note
that members of these elite paid think tanks publish books as part of a
strategy to give respectability to subsequent illegal, immoral and
predatory actions that are to be taken at the behest of the elite. The
views are not necessarily their own – they are the views of the think
tanks. These stooges formulate and pronounce policies and plans at the
behest of their masters, through bodies like the Council on Foreign
Relations, Bilderberg Group, etc.
In his infinitely arrogant book
The Grand Chessboard,
published in 1997, Brzezinski spelled out the philosophy behind the
current US military eruption. He starts by quoting the well-known views
of the British geographer Sir Halford J Mackinder (1861–1947), another
worker for the elite. Mackinder was a member of the ‘Coefficients Dining
Club’ established by members of the Fabian Society in 1902. The
continuity of the policies of the elite is indicated by the fact
Brzezinski starts from Mackinder’s thesis first propounded in 1904:
“Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland: Who rules
the Heartland commands the World-Island: who commands the World-Island
commands the world.”
Brzezinski argues that for the first time in human history a
non-Eurasian power has become preeminent and it must hold sway over the
Eurasian continent if it is to remain the preeminent global power: “For
America the chief geopolitical prize is Eurasia… About 75 percent of the
world’s people live in Eurasia… Eurasia accounts for about 60 percent
of the world’s GNP and about three fourths of the world’s known energy
resources.”
It is not just the geostrategic location of this region – it is also
its wealth, “both in its enterprises and beneath its soil,” that holds
such attraction for the elite whose greed for money, and lust for power,
remain insatiable, as if there was a sickness afflicting it.
Brzezinski writes:
“But it is on the globe’s most important playing field –
Eurasia – that a potential rival to America might at some point arise.
This focusing on the key players and properly assessing the terrain has
to be a point of departure for the formulation of American geostrategy
for the long-term management of America’s Eurasian geopolitical
interests.”
These lines were published in 1997. Millions of people have died in
the past two decades and millions have been rendered homeless in this
region but it remains a “playing” field for Brzezinski and his likes! In
his book Brzezinski has drawn two very interesting maps – one of these
has the caption
The Global Zone of Percolating Violence (page 53) and the other (page 124) is captioned
The Eurasian Balkans.
The first of these encircles a region which includes the following
countries: Sudan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, all
Central Asian states, Afghanistan, Pakistan and parts of Russia as well
as India. The second one has two circles, an inner circle and a wider
circle – the outer circle encloses the same countries as in the first
map but the inner circle covers Iran, Afghanistan, eastern Turkey and
the former Soviet Republics in Central Asia.
“This huge region, torn by volatile hatreds and surrounded by
competing powerful neighbours, is likely to be a major battlefield…”
writes Brzezinski.
He further writes:
“A possible challenge to American primacy from Islamic fundamentalism could be part of the problem of this unstable region.”
These lines were written at a time when this kind of fundamentalism
was not a problem – subsequently the US manipulated things and chose to
make it one by its provocative and deceptive tactics. According to its
strategic thinkers, the US might face a serious challenge from a
coalition of China, Russia and Iran and must do whatever it can to
prevent such a coalition from forming.
For Brzezinski, “terrorism” – a Tavistock-type concept – is just a
well planned and well thought out strategy, a lie and a deception, to
provide cover for a military presence in the Central Eurasian region and
elsewhere. It is being used to keep the US public in a state of fear,
to keep Russia in a state of insecurity about further breakup (the US
has trained and supported Chechen fighters, “terrorists,” throughout)
and to justify presence of US troops in and around Central Asia.
The Concocted War on Terrorism
Terrorism provides justification for transforming the United States into a police state. According to the
Washington Post
of 20 & 21 December 2010, the US now has 4,058 anti-terrorism
organisations! These are certainly not meant for those so-called
terrorists who operate in Central Asia – the number far exceeds the
number of so-called terrorists in the entire world. Unbridled domestic
spying by US agencies is now a fact of life and the US public, as
always, has accepted this because of the collusion of media and
Tavistock type institutes owned by the elite.
The US historian Howard Zinn puts it very well: “The so-called war on
terrorism is not only a war against innocent people in other countries,
but also a war on the people of the United States: a war on our
liberties, a war on our standard of living. The wealth of the country is
being stolen from the people and handed over to the superrich. The
lives of our young are being stolen. And the thieves are in the White
House.” Actually the thieves control the White House and have been doing
so for a very long time.
In his outstanding book
Crossing the Rubicon, Michael
Ruppert points out that much of the violence in the Central Asian region
as well as in Pakistan, which has been encircled in two maps in
Brzezinski’s book, was “initiated by the US proxies.” “Given that these
maps were published a full four years before the first plane hit the
World Trade Centre, they would fall in a category of evidence I learned
about at LAPD [Los Angeles Police Department]. We called them ‘clues’.”
This means that the eruption of US militarism after 9/11, and the event
itself, were part of a pre-planned and coherent strategy of global
domination in which the people of the US were also “conquered” through
totalitarian legislation carried out in the wake of 9/11.
As Brzezinski puts it:
America is too democratic at home to be autocratic
abroad. This limits the use of America’s power, especially its capacity
for military intimidation. Never before has a popular democracy attained
international supremacy. But the pursuit of power is not a goal that
commands popular passion, except in conditions of a sudden threat or
challenge to the public’s sense of domestic well-being… The economic
self-denial (that is, defence spending) and the human sacrifice
(casualties even among professional soldiers) required in the effort are
uncongenial to democratic instincts. Democracy is inimical to imperial
mobilisation.
Certainly post 9/11 legislation, the extraordinary expansion of
agencies and surveillance of the US public is a cause of great
satisfaction for the elite – the US can hardly be called a democracy
now. As reported by the
Washington Post, the National Security
Agency intercepts over 1.7 billion emails, phone calls and other
communications every day and stores them. No wonder Bush called 9/11 “a
great opportunity” and Rumsfeld saw it analogous to World War II to
“refashion the world.”
In order to achieve the objectives of the elite, the US destroyed
Yugoslavia while Russia stood by mesmerised and impotent, carried out
regime changes in Central Asia, set up military bases in East Europe and
Central Asia, and staged highly provocative military exercises testing
Russia’s and China’s will. It set up a military base in Kyrgyzstan that
has a 500 mile or so border with China. When the Chinese protested
recent naval exercises with South Korea were too close to Chinese
territory, a US spokesman responded: “Those determinations are made by
us, and us alone… Where we exercise, when we exercise, with whom and
how, with what assets and so forth are determinations that are made by
the United States Navy, by the Department of Defence, by the United
States government.” As journalist Rick Rozoff notes: “There is no way
such confrontational, arrogant and vulgar language was not understood at
its proper value in Beijing.”
The US has acquired bases in Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, and the Czech
Republic – and set up the largest military base ever built in the
region, Camp Bondsteel, in Kosovo. According to a report in the Russian
Kommersant
newspaper on 3 March 2011, a four-phase plan for deployment of a US
missile system in Europe is to be fully implemented by the end of 2020.
The US is also busy setting up bilateral military ties in Russia’s
backyard with Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and is
pursuing the goal of a “Greater Central Asia” from Afghanistan right up
to the Middle East, a great corridor from where the oil, gas, and great
mineral wealth of this region will flow to the coffers of the US elite,
at bloody expense to the local people.
As remarked by the Indian career diplomat M.K. Bhadrakumar: “The time
is not far off before they begin to sense that ‘the war on terror’ is
providing a convenient rubric under which the US is incrementally
securing for itself a permanent abode in the highlands of Hindu Kush,
the Pamirs, Central Asian steppes and the Caucasus that form the
strategic hub overlooking Russia, China, India and Iran.” The scene for a
great war involving the great powers of the time – US, Russia and China
– is now set, by design of the elite. It is just a matter of time.
Time and again the US elite has taken its good people into great wars
through documented and proven deceptions – the sinking of the Lusitania
during World War I, Pearl Harbour in World War II, and so on. The elite
considers us “human garbage” – a term first used by the French in
Indo-China. It is also generating a good deal of “human garbage” in the
US. A World Bank report points out that in 2005, 28 million Americans
were “insecure” – in 2007 the number had risen to 46 million! One in
every five Americans is faced with the possibility of becoming
“destitute” – 38 million people receive food coupons!
Michael Ruppert laments:
My country is dead. Its people have surrendered to
tyranny and in so doing, they have become tyranny’s primary support
group; its base; its defender. Every day they offer their endorsement of
tyranny by banking in its banks and spending their borrowed money with
the corporations that run it. The great Neocon strategy of George H.W.
Bush has triumphed. Convince the America people that they can’t live
without the ‘good things’, then sit back and watch as they endorse the
progressively more outrageous crimes you commit as you throw them bones
with ever less meat on them. All the while lock them into debt. Destroy
the middle class, the only political base that need be feared. Make them
accept, because of their shared guilt, ever-more repressive police
state measures. Do whatever you want.
A global economic system erected on inhuman and predatory values,
where a few possess more wealth than the billions of hungry put
together, will end, but the end will be painful and bloody. It is a
system in which the elite thrives on war and widespread human misery, on
death and destruction by design. As Einstein said,
“I do not know
how the Third World War will be fought, but I can tell you what they
will use in the Fourth – sticks and stones!”
Our
U.S. citizen soldiers are passionate about upholding the Constitution
and fighting for our Freedoms. That is a big difference than the
illegal immigrants will be in our military.
