The Rosetta Stone To American History, Part 3

In our previous postings, we pointed out that bankers established the intelligence infrastructure to track their loans to clients – an infrastructure whose methods became an organic part of statecraft. We also noted some key events from the late 19th to early 21st centuries which were the deeds of intelligence operations, now ostensibly under state control but in reality under the control of the plutocrats. We now wish to focus on a key event of the 20th century whose practice continues and which perfectly expresses the Hegelian dialectical process of divide and conquer. That event is the Cold War.

To the typical uncritically accepting person, the cold war was a bitter battle of good and evil – a point which Ronald Reagan attempted to make as he so labeled the Evil Empire. To someone who understands the great power structures in this world, it was nothing of the sort. Rather, it was a cunning conflict of thesis and antithesis in which the Soviet system fought the American system. But the surprising aspect is that a single power source established and controlled both systems.

For those who have been following us, the name Antony Sutton will be a familiar friend. He did great research into the technical transfers from West to East which enabled the Soviets to continue the arms race. Sutton documents how the Wall Street financial elite supported and bankrolled the Bolshevik revolution in order to wrest control of the vast mineral – but particularly oil – riches of Russia.

Other writers have noted that the Czars were not friendly – even hostile – to the fiat, centrally managed currency regime of the international bankers. As such he had to be removed from power.

Starting in the 1917 at the latest, Anglo-American financial and industrial interests promoted the Soviet experiment. As an experiment, the banksters wanted to know how a totalitarian regime would work. Indeed Sutton demonstrates how they financed Hitler beginning as early as 1922.

How does one explain these actions from a group of people who are known as capitalists? These people, as Aaron Russo noted in his jaw dropping interview with Alex Jones, are not normal. Russo related various stories about his friendship with Nick Rockefeller which painted them as sociopathic, if not psychopathic, people whose view of others is as master to slave. They see themselves as Jedi Master of the Universe Gods whose role is to regiment society to serve their financial interests. But wealth is not their end goal – that is too trivial. Their real aim is total domination of society and the world.

One other consideration motivating these people is paranoia. As we previously noted, certain legislative efforts such as the Sherman Anti Trust act, progressive taxation, and other instruments of leveling leave the plutocrats living in a constant state of fear – as though having 10 billion instead of 20 billion would leave them impoverished and disgraced. Noblesse Oblige in not found in their lexicons. Whenever they are found giving money, it is always to advance some statist totalitarian scheme such as Planned Parenthood which is a eugenicist’s fantasy.

Sutton’s interest was first piqued by his observation that Ford trucks were being used by the North Vietnamese against American soldiers. After considerable research, he discovered that Ford was actively transferring technology and capital to the USSR who in turn supplied the North Vietnamese with these and other armaments. His work issued forth in a three volume trilogy documenting technology transfers from the earliest days of the Soviet Union.

China is no different from the case with Europe. Truman stood down when he was able to arm Chiang Kai-shek in 1948-9. Kai-shek was extremely problematic as an ally, but if Communism were truly the threat, then common cause could have been found. However, the Wall Street banksters wanted another totalitarian experiment and did not want a credible threat to its designs in South East Asia.

Fast forward several decades to the great détente where we find a renascent China which everyone fears as did commentators the Japanese in the 1980s. What few understand is that American and other Western concerns own the bulk of the manufacturing base in China. Thus those great trade deficits are of no consequence to the plutocrats. Wall Street loves slave labor – hence the impoverishment of China was a necessary pre-requisite to move Western factories en masse to China.

Bill Clinton and GM transferred significant missile technology to China in the 1990s.

We believe that it is reasonably evident, and with substantial documentation to see that Wall Street has funded each of the significant totalitarian movements of our time, whether in Europe of Asia. These plans have allowed them to experiment with different degrees of repression, divide and conquor peoples, and maintain a frenzied fear of the Red Menace, or in the modern idiom the War on Terror.

Maintenance of paranoia is essential for extracting exorbitant taxes to fuel the Military Industrial Complex and the great wealth which flows to these merchants of death.

With extremely broad impressionist brush strokes, we have painted a picture where Wall Street and CIA interests intersecting in the great Military Industrial Complex rule the world and stage events to create certain outcomes desirable for concentrating power into the hands of the few, with an army of sycophants all too ready to serve as ants in this great colonial system.

Do Conspiracies Exist?

If an authority figure wants to shut down discussion about historical or current events which don't follow the party line, his one trump card is to label an idea a conspiracy theory. But is a conspiracy nonexistent  because someone - especially someone in authority - calls it a conspiracy theory? And what does it mean when the authority figure becomes personal and calls you a conspiracy theorist? We say bring it on. We believe that conspiracies exist and will always exist whenever two or more are gathered in the name of politics.

Cass Sunstein a law professor at Harvard taking a leave of absence to serve as Administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs co-authored a paper on "Conspiracy Theories" in which he defines a conspiracy as "an effort to explain some event or practice by reference to the machinations of powerful people, who have also managed to conceal their role."

So far so good. Unfortuntely the not so good professor proceeds to debunk conspiracies as essentially the workings of an unhinged mind. With this assessment we strongly disagree by calling upon the witness of history and its players to demonstrate otherwise.

The most primitive example is the story of Julius Caesar wherein leading Senators of SPQR determined that it was in their and the republic's best interests to remove Caesar from power. We assure you that the histories do not report a lone nut as the culprut, Brutus being a prominent and respectable Roman politician.

I would surmise that the Roman populace would not have inveighed against those anticipating a plot against Caesar's life as such intrigue frequently surrounded the throne and centers of power. Indeed, when the Praetorian Guard become the primary king making apparatus, anyone not believing in conspiracies had to be  a little off his rocker.

Another important example of conspiracy was the plot to assassinate Jesus. As most Christians are aware, the leading Jewish citizens - especially those of the Sanhedrin - had sought for some time to silence Christ who was attracting quite a following and whose teachings seemed seditious to their rule. Judas was bought for 30 pieces of silver and the rest is history and salvation. I can assure you that Judas did not act or conspire openly among the other 11 disciples and thus sought to conceal his role.

Although these examples are interesting and constructive, we have a more systematic presentation of the concept of conspiracy with Machiavelli whose treatise The Prince - whether satire or not is immaterial - develops the notion of the prince of the realm needing to promulgate certain strategems to consolidate, retain, and perpetuate power. Whatever one may think of Machiavelli, he is not known as a kook.

One would think that it is self evident that various parties in a society conspire in varying degrees of stealth to obtain objectives - certainly in the political realm. Did Richard Nixon earn the sobriquet Tricky Dick because he was an upright practicing Quaker who showed his poker hand to one and to all so as to give all an equal chance to destroy him? I think we all know the answer to that question.

We will admit that conspiracy theories prosper in the absence of facts and knowledge. We admit that some are totally wacky and not worthy of serious consideration. We agree that those who argue that the moon landing was a hoax are mistaken. But the way of resolving such ambiguities is not through invective but through examination of the facts and discoveries of missing links. Indeed the fact that facts are missing is often itself an indication of conspiracy.

A relatively recent example of partial facts in the aftermath of fact finding is the case of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination in which a court found James Earl Ray guilty of conspiring (with himself of course ) to kill Dr. King. Unfortunately the court did not hear all of the facts. However, a civil trial which began in November 1999 in Memphis revealed a mountain of facts demonstrating without question that the government of the United States murdered Martin Luther King, Jr.

It is of a verity that people often disguise their true motives and means to achieve their political aims. We all have seen this from the time of competing with siblings, to competing in school, to survival in business, church, and elsewhere. Did the Archbishop of Canturbery Thomas à Becket die from a random act of lone nutness and Henry II not have plausible deniability?

The moral of the story is that conspiracies occur all of the time and that they may well explain the truth of an otherwise insoluable mystery. We will do much to expose conspiracy in this country both in real time and in history.
