I’m sure none of this influenced Bill Clinton’s ‘decision’to nominate him! In 1992, Wolfensohn joined forces with Lord Rothschild to form J.Rothschild, Wolfensohn, a business advice consultancy. As chairman, theyappointed Paul Volcker,10 the former chairman of the Federal Reserve Board andleading member of the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, andBilderberg Group. Volcker was the man who launched the devastating economicpolicies in the United States and the UK in the 1980s which were fronted by RonaldReagan and Margaret Thatcher.The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is there to intervene when poor countriesin Africa, Asia, and the rest of the developing world get into Elite-engineeredfinancial trouble. The idea has been to encourage and bribe the politicians in thesecountries into relinquishing self-sufficiency in food and into opening up their lands tothe multinational food and chocolate giants. These countries began to export luxury cash crops to the rich nations and to use that money to pay for imported food fromthose same rich countries. Also, the developing nations would export naturalresources to the rich nations at knock-down prices and then buy back (at inflatedprices) the luxury products the industrialised countries made with those naturalresources. However, these luxury goods only go to the tiny, corrupt, political andeconomic clique in these developing countries. The majority of the population gohungry because the food-growing land is occupied by the multinational corporations.The Elite’s policy was to submerge the poor countries in debt and take them over inthe same way they had with the multinationals and the industrialised nations. Whenthese governments find themselves in financial trouble and unable to meet their debtrepayments, in goes the IMF to ‘restructure’ the repayments or offer more loans topay the interest on the previous ones. But, in return for imposing more debt, the IMFinsists that its (Elite) economic policies are followed. These involve cutting food,health, and education subsidies, and the exporting of more resources and cash crops.The IMF tells all the developing countries to do this and thus creates a glut on theworld market for these commodities and the price collapses. More is exported at theexpense of food-growing land for the poor, but no more is earned. The winners arethe rich nations who get their resources and commodities cheaper. As a result youhave the sight of hundreds of thousands of Brazilian children dying through hungerrelated disease when Brazil is the second biggest exporter of food in the world. Butwhat a wonderful form of eugenics and culling of the non-white population! A thirdof the Brazilian population lives below the poverty line and seven million abandonedchildren beg, steal, and sniff glue on the streets. This, in a country that should beamong the most prosperous in the world, with no problem of feeding itself. Itsproblems are not natural. They are, like those throughout the Third World,manufactured for the benefit of the Elite. Don’t be kidded by all this stuff aboutcompassionate ‘overseas aid’.Every year vastly more wealth is transferred from poor countries to rich thangoes the other way. We are bleeding them to death. And the overseas aid that ismade available is not aimed at helping developing countries. It is used to bribecorrupt politicians, to build the infrastructure needed by the multinationals, or tosubsidise industries in the rich countries, like Bechtel, who carry out the work aspart of the aid deal. Another reality of life on Earth:There is no need for starvation and horrific suffering in Africa, Asia and LatinAmerica. It is not the result of ‘natural disasters’, but of coldly calculated design.‘Free’ TradeThe GATT policy is there to create dependency on the world economic system byforcing countries to drop their barriers to trade. This concept of ‘free trade’ wasadvocated in the last century by the Scottish economist, Adam Smith, and it wasdesigned, at least in part, to justify Britain’s refusal to stop the exports of opium intoChina. Pressure for Adam Smith’s – Elite-supported – view led to the repeal of the Corn Laws in May 1846, which removed protection for British agriculture fromoverseas imports. It was a disastrous policy, just as its architects (such as the Elitecontrolled Bank of England and the Baring Brothers Merchant Bank) intended it to be.’Free’ trade has come a long way since then. GATT is now coordinated by the Elite’sWorld Trade Organisation, based in its stronghold of Switzerland. It makes sense forthe coordination of Elite banking and trade policies to be based in the same country, Isuppose. Countries which add tariffs to imported goods to protect home producersare bad news for the New World Order. Such countries are far less dependent on theglobal system because they produce for themselves what their population needs.Trade in this sense is based on mutual benefit, not winner takes all.In the early years of the United States, the government’s main income was fromtariffs. If goods were going to be imported, all the people should benefit, it wasbelieved. GATT, the European Union, the North American Free Trade Area, and thenew Asian-Pacific free trade area (APEC), are designed to destroy this protectionand create dependency on the global system which the Elite control. Over recentyears the momentum has increased to destroy the diversity of production in allcountries and make them dependent on importing essential goods.The British Conservative Governments of Margaret Thatcher and John Majorplayed their part to perfection in this. The suicidal ‘monetarism’ of the ThatcherReagan years destroyed the diversity of home production while the wave of’privatisations’ in the UK and elsewhere has handed the power over essentialservices like water, electricity, and gas into Elite hands – often with big governmentsubsidies, to boot. The consequences of this can now be seen by all but the mostdedicated idiot. But the media promotes ‘free trade’ as a good thing and’protectionism’ as bad. They have bought the line sold to them by economists,politicians, and university lecturers, and they sell it to everyone else – the public.I remember when the latest GATT agreement was being negotiated (the so calledUruguay Round), how the famous news presenters in Britain summoned their mostconcerned and ominous voices to announce to their nightly audience of millionsthat the negotiations had broken down. We should all be very worried, we were ledto believe, because if the new GATT was not agreed upon, an economic nightmarewould ensue. In truth, a nightmare for the Global Elite, not for the people. TheDirector General of GATT, Peter D. Sutherland (Bil, TC, Comm 300), was wheeledout to tell the world how important it was that the governments reached agreement.Sutherland, a former member of the European Commission and chairman of theElite-controlled Allied Irish Banks, was well briefed with the Bilderberg Group’sviews on the matter. He attended their meeting in Finland in June 1994, and againin Switzerland in 1995. Of course, in the end GATT was agreed and passed throughCongress and parliaments by governments and ‘oppositions’ alike, because theoverwhelming majority of politicians of all parties are either too naive to seebeyond the end of their noses (most of them) or they know what the game plan is(the relative few). The World Trade Organisation has the power to impose sanctionson countries which erect barriers to the flow of ‘free’ trade. The Elite must havegone into orgasm when this lot was agreed. What a tool to control the world! ‘Free’ trade is the freedom of the strong to exploit the weak. It is the meansthrough which multinationals, subsidised by their governments via the overseas aidbudgets and other hidden channels, operate ‘cartelism’ against the interests of thegeneral population. It is the freedom to create dependency on a system which onlythe few control, and to use that dependency to manipulate at will. The freedom tomove production from high wage industrialised countries to the sweat shops of theThird World, savagely exploiting the native population. The freedom to steal theirfood growing land and to destroy the industries and incomes of those in thedeveloped world, also. In doing this, the Elite create anger, despair, and division,the perfect combination for manipulation. That, my friends, is the ‘free’ trade theeconomists, politicians, and news correspondents tell us we desperately need moreof. The word in my head at this moment does not bear repeating.The Seven Sisters Oil CartelWorking alongside the banks, and owned by the same people, are the oilcompanies. These are responsible for countless coups and conflicts and thegrotesque manipulation of sovereign countries. As late as 1882, oil had littlecommercial value. It was used in lamps and not much more. William “Doc”Rockefeller also peddled oil at $25 a pint as a cure for warts, snake bites, cancer, andimpotency” In 1853 his son, John D. Rockefeller, formed the infamous Standard OilCompany to supply the fuel for the growth in oil burning lamps and to exploit themuch greater potential claimed for the substance seeping through the rocks andfissures of the Earth. With the development of the internal combustion engine, thevalue of oil was transformed. So were the economy and politics of the world. TheBritish Admiral, Lord Fisher, was one of the first to see the military significance ofoil and later, as First Sea Lord, he led the debate on how to secure supplies for theBritish Navy in a country which, at that time, had no oil of its own. As usual, theanswer was: If we don’t have any, we’ll take someone else’s. An Australianengineer, geologist, and devout Christian called William Knox d’Arcy had found oilnorth of the Persian Gulf, in what is now Iran. He had bought the rights to exploit itfrom the Shah for $20,000 and agreed to pay a 16% royalty on sales. The contractgranted him and all his “heirs, assigns, and friends” exclusive rights to Persian oiluntil 1961. The British Secret Service, on behalf of the government, dispatched the’ace of spies’, Sidney Reilly, to dupe d’Arcy into handing over his rights to theBritish. Reilly (real name, Sigmund Georgjevich Rosenblum from Odessa, Russia)posed as a priest and persuaded d’Arcy to sign over his exclusive rights to Persianoil to a ‘Christian’ organisation, the Anglo-Persian Oil Company. In early 1913, atthe urging of Winston Churchill, Fisher’s successor as First Sea Lord, the Asquithgovernment secretly bought a controlling interest in Anglo-Persian Oil. We knowthis company better today as British Petroleum – BP. The wealth of this company isfounded on the work of an agent of the British Secret Service, the notorious spy,Sidney Reilly, who lied to, and hoodwinked, a gullible man by manipulating hisdevout Christian beliefs. Given the behaviour of BP over the years, that is ratherappropriate, really. For years, the competition between oil companies and countries seeking todominate world oil supplies, led to conflict throughout Europe and the Middle East.Britain was responsible for stimulating wars in the Balkans, Turkey, and Bulgariabefore 1914 to disrupt and sabotage the building of Germany’s ‘Berlin to Baghdad’Railway, which threatened Britain’s grip on the Middle East. The British used theircontrol of Kuwait to prevent the completion of the railway from Baghdad to thePersian Gulf. Using force and corrupt sheikhs, the British Government ruthlesslyseized control of Arab countries and their oil supplies. It was to set the scene for theconflict we have witnessed in the Middle East ever since, and the creation of theState of Israel was part of the divide and rule policy based on the control of oil. Canyou understand why the Arabs today get so angry at what they see – quite rightly -as Western imperialism? They have had it up to here.The other oil company controlled by the British government was Royal DutchShell,12 outwardly run by the Dutch-born, Sir Henry Deterding (Comm 300), anaturalised Briton. In fact, it was controlled by a group of parties who voted onbehalf of the British Government. The covert support and guidance of the Britishgovernment turned Shell into a global company which challenged the Rockefeller’sStandard Oil, even on its own ground in America. Deterding is another man oftenlinked with the secret funding of Adolf Hitler and a future major shareholder ofShell Oil would be Prince Bernhard, a chairman and founder of the BilderbergGroup. In May 1933, Deterding entertained Hitler’s representative, Alfred’Protocols’ Rosenberg, at his estate near Windsor Castle. Researcher Oswald Dutchclaims that in 1931, Deterding and his backers (the Samuel family) gave Hitler£30,000,000. Eventually the ‘oil wars’ between the rival companies ended in the late1920s with an agreement finalised at Achnacarry, Sir Henry Deterding’s ScottishCastle. This created the Anglo-American oil cartel which became known as theSeven Sisters. The meeting between Deterding, John Cadman of Anglo-Persian Oil(BP), and Franklin D. Roosevelt’s close friend, Walter Teagle, of the Rockefellers’Standard Oil (Exxon), was held secretly under the cover story of a grouse shoot. TheSeven Sisters cartel has worked as one unit since then to control price and suppliesto suit its sordid ambitions. The ultimate control is with the Elite. The Seven Sistersis comprised today of Shell, BP, Esso/Exxon (Standard Oil of New Jersey), Gulf,Mobil, Standard Oil of California (SOCAL), and Texaco. This virtual amalgamationof interests and policy mirrored to an extent the post-war banking mergers whichcreated giants like the Rockefellers’ Chase Manhattan, the amalgamation with theKuhn Loeb (Rothschilds), Bank of Manhattan. The oil industry, too, was dividedbetween the Rockefellers (Rockenfelders) and the Rothschilds.Shell and BP were part of a power structure which included the Britishgovernment, the Foreign Office, and the intelligence agencies. This remains sotoday. There are countless examples of this government/oil company/ intelligenceagency connection at work. In 1941, the British and the Russians invaded neutralIran on the nonsensical pretext that a few German engineers were there. Controllingthe oil supplies of Iran had nothing to do with it, naturally. The troops, backed upby smaller Indian and American forces, took over the country’s food supplies, causing the deaths of tens of thousands of Iranians through starvation. Typhus andtyphoid killed yet more, as did the use of the railway for shipping lend-leasesupplies to Russia which stopped heating oil from reaching the Iranian people inthe terrible winter of 1944-1945. These were the countries who sat in judgement ofwar crimes at Nuremberg.In response to this, the Iranian nationalist leader, Dr Mohammed Mossadegh,became prime minister in April 1951. He instituted a policy of nationalising all oilproduction, with appropriate compensation to the foreign oil companies. The Iraniangovernment also guaranteed supplies to Britain as before and the employment ofBritish workers in Iran. The British Government responded by imposing aneconomic stranglehold on Iran, freezing her assets held in British banks, introducingfull sanctions and an embargo on Iranian oil. This was supported by other membersof the Seven Sisters cartel. Mossadegh went to the United Nations to plead his casein 1953, but the Security Council, dominated by the US and Britain, did not want toknow. He then went to Washington for help, but again got nowhere. The US sent a’mediator’ to Iran with a delegation full of people connected to the American oilcompanies. Who was this ‘mediator’? It’s that man again…W. Averell Harriman. Hisview was that Iran should accept the British position of Prime Minister WinstonChurchill, his old friend. I never would have guessed that, would you?While the British and American press assassinated Mossadegh’s character andgrossly misrepresented the situation, Iran did win its case, thanks to Mossadegh’seloquence at the World Court. But by now his downfall was well-advanced.Appeals for economic aid from the US were turned down by President DwightEisenhower (CFR) on the advice of his Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles (CFR),and his brother, the CIA chief, Allen Dulles (CFR). The Dulles brothers, in concertwith British Intelligence, persuaded Eisenhower that Mossadegh had to beoverthrown. Seventeen key members of the Eisenhower administration weremembers of the Council on Foreign Relations.Norman Schwartzkopf senior, the father of ‘Stormin’ Norman’ of Gulf War fame,had made many contacts in the Iranian army when he trained some of theirgenerals during the war. He offered these people power if they overthrewMossadegh. A coup, organised by British Intelligence and the CIA with the codename, Operation AJAX, removed Mossadegh in August 1953. The Shah of Iran wasinstalled as a puppet of Britain and the USA until he was, himself, removed bythose same forces twenty-five years later and replaced by the Ayatollah Khomeini.This was part of the Elite’s ‘arc of crisis’ policy in the Middle East, which hasensured the Arab nations have remained divided and ruled. The Shah reversedMossadegh’s policy and denationalised the Iranian oil industry. He and the CIAalso established SAVAK, one of the most vicious intelligence agencies in the world.Its operatives were trained by the CIA and subjected their victims to sickeningtorture and imprisonment without trial. From about 1957 SAVAK began a closerelationship with the Israeli/Global Elite intelligence arm, Mossad, which alsotrained SAVAK personnel. You thought Israel and Iran were different sides? Not atthe top level they aren’t. Another brave man to take on the Seven Sisters cartel was Enrico Mattel, theleader of Italy’s biggest non-communist resistance organisation in the Second WorldWar. It was Mattei who coined the term Seven Sisters. He wanted a self-sufficientItaly which was independent of the Anglo-American oil cartel. As head of the Stateenergy company, ENI, he established a network of petrol stations across Italy whichrivalled those of Shell and Esso.
