Last week, as you will recall, we looked at the conduct of the present war with Iraq, we saw that it has been in continuous progress since 1991, and we saw that Washington started the war by means of a diplomatic contrivance. This raises questions about the century of war just concluded; and the only way to understand what is happening now is to answer them.
In 1909, some world-government conspirators met at the headquarters of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in New York. What? You mean these people actually sit down around tables and make plans? Yes, Virginia, that’s exactly what I mean. That is why they have conference tables.
I call them “conspirators” because the dictionary says a conspiracy consists of two or more people, meeting in secret, for an evil purpose; and these conspirators were meeting in secret to advance world government, which necessarily would mean the abolition of the United States government, an evil purpose. Our government and world government are mutually exclusive for the same reason two solid objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time.
At the time, the Carnegie Endowment was not so well known. It would become better known after World War II, when the man who ran it was Soviet spy Alger Hiss. At the meeting in 1909, the conspirators agreed that the best way to approach Babel would be to embroil the United States in war. War necessarily is an international relationship. War gives the government immense, new powers, totalitarian powers. Anyone who complains can be called “unpatriotic.” Remember that the purpose of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace was supposed to be peace.
Some forty years after the 1909 meeting, a congressional committee was investigating all this, and sent Kathryn Casey, a lawyer, to New York to look through the Carnegie files. Miss Casey was so upset by the evidence of scheming she found that she almost suffered a nervous breakdown and had to enter therapy.
In 1914, a Serbian nationalist assassinated the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne in Sarajevo, and, after the usual maneuvering, war erupted in Europe. None of this had anything to do with the United States, and Americans were overwhelmingly in favor of minding our own business; so, why did we eventually enter that war?
In 1915, the Lusitania set sail from New York for Southampton. The Lusitania was supposed to be a civilian cruise ship of the Cunard Line. In fact, it was a Royal Navy vessel, loaded “to the gunwales” with six million rounds of ammunition for the English, and other military supplies. The German government politely pointed out that, under the rules of war, it had the perfect right to take out the Lusitania, because that ammunition would be used to kill Germans.
The English were trying to keep these facts secret, so the German government took out ads to expose them in major American newspapers, warning travelers to stay off theLusitania. The Wilson Administration, run in large part by Woodrow Wilson’s “alter ego” Edward M. House, the Marxist theoretician, pressured those newspapers to cancel those ads. (Only one was published, in a relatively small newspaper in the upper Midwest. It did no good.)
In complete ignorance of the facts, scores of Americans boarded the Lusitania and set sail on a joyous cruise, sitting on those tons of ammunition. In London, First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill was waiting. the English had broken the German code, and knew where all the U-boats were. As the doomed vessel approached Southampton, Churchill withdrew its naval escort, just to make sure, and , sure enough, a German U-boat sank it, with considerable loss of life.
To read all about it, you should browse through The Lusitania (New York, Ballantine, 1972), by Colin Simpson, who is English, whose book is therefore and admission against interest. Because so many Americans were lost on the Lusitania in 1915, Marxist theoretician Edward House and his fellow conspirators in the Wilson Administration took us into war in 1917. (Things took a lot longer in those days.) They were hoping that in the aftermath of the war, when the world would be rearranged, they could plunge our country into world government. To have a say in the peace, we would have to be in the war.
Because the war had nothing to do with us, because no American interest was even remotely involved, we could just as well have entered the war in behalf of either side. Remember, this was long before Hitler; the Germans were still gentlemen. But one of the harsh realities of war is that, if you insist on getting into one, you have to be on one side or the other. The conspirators chose England rather than Germany, about which a few words should be said.
The English used mercenary Hessians to fight us in our War for Independence, aside from which the United States never had had a beef with Germany. Indeed, so many Germans lived here in colonial times and thereafter that the serious question arose of whether German should be our language.
On the contrary, the English have always been our historic enemy. Not the “British,” because that term includes the Scots, the Welsh, the Irish and others, none of whom is addicted to seizing territory around the world. All of those peoples have been content to enjoy their own countries while we enjoy ours. The English invaded the young United States in 1812 and burned Washington, D.C. Unfortunately, they didn’t get it all it metastasized again.
The English interfered in Lincoln’s illegal War of Yankee Aggression, hoping to use it to recolonize America. In 1897, we almost went to war with our historic enemy again because of an English incursion in Venezuela. Washington invoked the Monroe Doctrine, and England backed down. It was the English who invented the “concentration camp,” which was the only reason they won the Boer War. Hitler later adapted the idea for his own purposes.
The reason House was hostile to the Germans was that he visited Germany before the war, and his hosts in Berlin did everything they could to be cordial. House was known as “Colonel” House; he was a Texas “colonel,” appointed by a grateful Texas governor for political work House had done. He had no military experience and knew nothing about the military, but the hospitable Germans concluded he must have been a real colonel, and offered a program of military displays for his enjoyment, with the sad result that House came away with the idea that Germany was mostly militaristic.
It is important to note that all the while House and Wilson were conspiring to trick the United States into war, they were talking about “peace.” In 1916, Wilson ran for reelection; his campaign slogan was, “He Kept Us Out of War.” The conspirators knew that were the American people to discover what they were really doing, there would have been another revolution. That was why the conspirators needed a trick.
But, despite all this exquisite planning, they were frustrated after World War I. They had concocted a scheme called the League of Nations, the same outfit Bush II recently mentioned, that was designed to serve as the rudimentary framework of the world government that was their goal. The trouble arose in the U.S. Senate, whose advice and consent were necessary for the ratification of the treaty that would permit our entry; and the shocking fact was that there were still enough Americans in the Senate to vote the treaty down. It was generally understood at the time that membership in such an organization would have diluted our national independence. So, the United States did not enter the League and it eventually failed.
On April 30, 1919, the conspirators sat down around another table (yes, Virginia, another table) at the Majestic Hotel in Paris, to discuss where they had gone wrong. They decided that what Nicholas Murray Butler, later president of Columbia University, called the “American mind” had not been properly prepared. They decided they needed an organization that would inundate the American mind with a flood of propaganda about the glories of world government. Thus properly prepared, the American mind would kneel the next time the conspirators had the chance to enmesh our country in their Lilliputian coils.
In London, they formed the Royal Institute of International Affairs. Back in New York, Edward House, the Marxist conspirator who lived in the White House with Woodrow Wilson, formed the Council on Foreign Relations. Today, the headquarters of CFR are located at 68th Street and Park Avenue, in the Pratt House. Regular readers will remember that that is where Bush Junior found Condeleeza Rice.
The conspirators were right. After a generation of propaganda, they were ready when the next opportunity came to drag the United States into the framework of world government: World War II and the present United Nations. Be with me next week, when we’ll take a look.
