HOW TO STAGE A WORLD WAR

The creation of the German empire under Bismarck upset the “balance of powers” that had been existing in Europe for more than two centuries. England ruled supreme over the continent until 1871. This supremacy had been repeatedly challenged by Spain and by France but England always
remained victorious. The fact that Germany now grew stronger, by acquiring colonies and by building up its military force, was a severe threat to the Illuminati, but also to England and its supremacy over Europe both economically and militarily.

To counteract this, the international bankers who at that time were to a large extent excluded from the economic development in Germany, sought for ways to limit and control Germany. Between 1894 and 1907 a number of international treaties were signed to have Russia, France, England and further nations unit against Germany in the case of war. It was the task of the COMMITTEE OF 300to set the stage for the First World War. From the ROUND TABLE group emerged as a front the “Royal institute for International Affairs” (RIIA). It is also known as “Chatham House” and had among its founding members Lord Albert Grey, Lord Arnold Toynbee – eminence grise of the MI6, H.G. Wells, Lord Alfred Milner – head of the Round Table, and H.J. Mackinder – inventor of the so-called geopolitics.

From the Committee of 300 the RIIA got the order to study possible ways to stage this war. The order was handed to Lord Northcliff, Lord Rothmere – both members of the Committee of 300 and Lord Toynbee of the MI6. The research was done in WELLINGTON HOUSE where “brainstorming” sessions developed ways and techniques to condition the public into supporting a war.

Edward Bernays and Walter Lippmann were American “specialists” attending. Lord Rothmere used his newspaper as a tool to try out their “social conditioning” techniques on his readers. After a test period of six months they had found that 87% of the public had formed opinions without rational or critical thought processes. That was what they wanted. Thereupon the English working class was subjected to sophisticated propaganda methods to convince them that they had to send their sons by the thousands to their deaths. In America, President Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President, said during his election campaign in 1912:

“Behind the visible government there is an invisible government upon the throne that owes the people no loyalty and recognizes no responsibility. To destroy this invisible government, to undo the unGodly union between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the task of a statesman.”
