New
Dawn Special Issue 16 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 of America The Road to 9/11 – Wealth,
Empire, and the Future
(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!”
