I really love this paragraph because Jeff Childers ‘gets it’

To say that London is the world’s globalization headquarters is like saying the Mouse lives at Disney World. London has been the velvet-gloved epicenter of globalism ever since the East India Company shipped spices and opium on the same manifest.

London’s financial class didn’t just benefit from globalization— they practically wrote the instruction manual. For them to start hand-wringing now about “mass immigration” and “no benefits from free trade” is a sign the ground is shaking beneath the WEF cathedral.

Please keep that pearl of wisdom in mind. It underlies much of what has been going on since 1776.

I am adding this as background since it gives weight to Paul Sperry’s thoughts that the raid on Mar-a-Lago was about IRAN.

OPERATION GLADIO – CHAPTER 60 – “CIA MOSSAD SOVAK SHAH MULLAHS IRGC”

Colonel Towner did a recent dig on Iran. She is specifically looking at the SOVAK, [WIKI] a secret Police in IRAN originally trained by the Russians in the 1800s, [1879] It was taken over by CIA, MI6 & Mossad. And remained in place during ALL the regime changes in Iran. That would certainly explain why Mossad knows so much about Iranian leaders.

Oh and the guy we know as ‘The Shah’ was a really nasty fellow according to the Colonel’s research. Note that the ‘crown prince’ live quite close to CIA head quarters and do not forget all the recent ‘Regime Change’ chatter. The CIA has pulled regime changes in 90 countries when ever the country’s leaders did not allow the International corporations to exploit the raw materials without paying and used the natives as cheap (slave) labor.


The US Wants to Bring Back the Shah of Iran by David William Pear

[David is a member of Veterans for Peace, Saint Pete (Florida) for Peace, CodePink, and the Palestinian-led non-violent organization International Solidarity Movement. He provides references at the bottom of the article.]

The CIA already has their man ready. They have been grooming him since he was 17 years old. He lives not far from the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. He is Reza Pahlavi, the Crown Prince of Iran…

Alternate: Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi is a true friend of the State of Israel — Jerusalem Post

The author is a NYC financial advisor.

From the Trump Administration

This is one of Colonel Towner’s references:

The Shah of Iran and David Rockefeller

SAVAK Terrorism and US Multinationals

Wherever the Four Horsemen gallop the CIA is close behind. [The Colonel said they are actually in the lead clearing the way for the multinationals.]   Iran was no exception.  By 1957 the Company, as intelligence insiders know the CIA, created one of its first Frankensteins – the Shah’s brutal secret police known as SAVAK. Kermit Roosevelt, the Mossadegh coup-master turned Northrop salesman, admitted in his memoirs that SAVAK was 100% created by the CIA and Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency that acts as appendage of the CIA.

For the next 20 years the CIA and SAVAK were joined at the hip when it came to matters of Persian Gulf security. Three hundred fifty SAVAK agents were shuttled each year to CIA training facilities in McLean, Virginia, where they learned the finer arts of interrogation and torture. [15] 

Top SAVAK brass were trained through the US Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Public Safety Program, until it was shut down in 1973 due to its reputation for turning out some of the world’s finest terrorists.  In 1963 when JFK was assassinated SAVAK Chief Hassan Pakravan joined the Shah in Tehran to celebrate Kennedy’s death. [16]  CIA, MI6 and Mossad supported 30 paramilitary groups in Iran and provided support to Shah-loyalist groups.

Popular anger towards Big Oil, the Shah and his new police state resulted in mass protests.  The Shah dealt with the peaceful demonstrations with sheer brutality and got a wink and nod from Langley.  From 1957-79 Iran housed 125,000 political prisoners. SAVAK “disappeared” dissenters, a strategy replicated by CIA surrogate dictators in Argentina and Chile…

TradeBait2(@tradebait2) on June 26, 2025 brought this to the Qtree.

He may be on to something.

https://bioclandestine.substack.com/p/mar-a-lago-raid-was-about-iran


Bioclandestine points to a Paul Sperry tweet. It is interesting that Paul Sperry was silenced on Twitter by the Biden Admin. January 7, 2023 Article

Investigative Issues: How Democrat Adam Schiff Abused His Power to Demand I Be Kicked Off Twitter

That links to this NY Post Article

….I found an interesting email waiting for me in my inbox from Matt Taibbi, the independent journo Elon Musk tasked with reviewing and releasing internal Twitter documents about decisions to censor content and ban users from the platform.

“Paul,” Taibbi wrote, “just found a crazy email on Twitter — did you know Adam Schiff’s staff . . . asked Twitter to have you banned?

I was gobsmacked. This would explain why Twitter could never give me a reason for suspending my account, even though I had broken none of its rules….


I am starting with Paul Sperry’s article on Jake Sullivan on September 23, 2021.

Biden Security Adviser Jake Sullivan Tied to Alleged 2016 Clinton Scheme to Co-Opt the CIA and FBI to Tar Trump

White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan figures prominently in a grand jury investigation run by Special Counsel John Durham into an alleged 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign scheme to use both the FBI and CIA to tar Donald Trump as a colluder with Russia, according to people familiar with the criminal probe, which they say has broadened into a conspiracy case…


Then Comey on July 22, 2019.

Justice Dept. Watchdog Has Evidence Comey Probed Trump, on the Sly

…Two U.S. officials briefed on the inspector general’s investigation of possible FBI misconduct said Comey was essentially “running a covert operation against” thepresident, starting with a private “defensive briefing” he gave Trump just weeks before his inauguration. They said Horowitz has examined high-level FBI text messages and other communications indicating Comey was actually conducting a “counterintelligence assessment” of Trump during that January 2017 meeting in New York. 

In addition to adding notes of his meetings and phone calls with Trump to the official FBI case file, Comey had an agent inside the White House who reported back to FBI headquarters about Trump and his aides, according to other officials familiar with the matter….

Comey’s meeting with Trump took place one day after the FBI director met in the Oval Office with President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden to discuss how to brief Trump — a meeting attended by National Security Adviser Susan Rice, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and National Intelligence Director James Clapper, who would soon go to work for CNN…


Another interesting 2019 story from Sperry on June 6, 2019.

‘Scorched Earth’: Mueller’s Targets Speak Out


Roger Stone was not the only one ‘swatted’ by Mueller & the FBI. WND.com founder and editor Joseph Farah. “…Not long after the interrogation, the 64-year-old Farah suffered a stroke and is still incapacitated…” [the ten witnesses also included AG Jeff Session!!]

Joseph Farah after his stroke.

Too bad AG Merrick Garland and others did not have the ‘same courtesy’ granted to them over ignoring US immigration laws.

IN LOOKING INTO THE BACK STORY LET’S START WITH CHINA

8/15/2022

Paul Sperry: Mar-a-Lago raid done by ‘Russiagate’ FBI agents — Liberty Loft

…The suggestion that Democrats now are suddenly concerned about nuclear secrets seems implausible, too, he suggested.

“Recall how Dems and MSM didn’t give a rip about ‘national security’ when President Clinton: — declassified tens of thousands of pages of secrets about our nuclear weapons program; — transferred dual-use missile and other technology to China; and, — kicked open the doors to Los Alamos and our other nuclear weapons labs to Chinese scientists. Beijing subsequently stole the designs to every nuclear warhead in the US arsenal, including MIRVs, according to the Cox Report, and now China can independently target Honolulu, Los Angeles and San Francisco with a single ICBM.”

He also reported the FBI paperwork authorizing the raid on Trump’s home allowed agents to seize any boxes “in proximity” to any targeted papers….

Going back further in history, you have a List of massacres in China — WIKI

Of interest is

Cultural Revolution Group

The Cultural Revolution, formally known as the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, was a sociopolitical movement in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). It was launched by Mao Zedong in 1966 and lasted until his death in 1976

However there is another source, Dr Rummel.

DEMOCIDE: DEATH BY GOVERNMENT


Dr. R.J. Rummel tabulated the 169,202,000 Murdered by their own government, many under some flavor of “Socialism” during the last century.

…Just to give perspective on this incredible murder by government, if all these bodies were laid head to toe, with the average height being 5′, then they would circle the earth ten times. Also, this democide murdered 6 times more people than died in combat in all the foreign and internal wars of the century….

After eight-years and almost daily reading and recording of men, women, and children by the tens of millions being tortured or beaten to death, hung, shot, and buried alive, burned or starved to death, stabbed or chopped into pieces, and murdered in all the other ways creative and imaginative human beings can devise, I have never been so happy to conclude a project. I have not found it easy to read time and time again about the horrors innocent people have been forced to suffer. What has kept me at this was the belief, as preliminary research seemed to suggest, that there was a positive solution to all this killing and a clear course of political action and policy to end it. And the results verify this. The problem is Power. The solution is democracy. The course of action is to foster freedom…

This might explain why those human rights violations were ignored. Not that the international corporations gave a flying F… about their foreign slave labor.

Mao was a Yale Man with Skull & Bones

“By about the year 2000 Communist China will be a “superpower” built by American technology and skill.” — Antony C. Sutton, American Secret Establishment published 1984

Student Mao Zedong & Yale in China

“The fundamental difference between a “New World Order” under the United Nations and an independent United States are nowhere more clearly indicated than in our ‘Declaration of Independence’ affirmation that “men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.” The UN’s total exclusion of God means that rights do not come from God, (but) that they proceed from government, and government can take them away.

Skull and Bones reaches to all the leaders around the world and this may explain Bush’s obsessive support of China, regardless of the human rights violations and arsenol buildup.

“Skull and Bones is a secret fraternity at Yale University which restricts their membership to only fifteen per year. . The society was formed in 1832 by General William Russell, whose shipping firm later dominated the U.S. side of the China opium trade. Yale University was founded by Eli Yale, who made his fortune working for the opium smuggling British East India Company.”


Bush Sr of course was CIA. He was unable to get the World Trade Organization ratified. So just like with the Federal Reserve Act, it was handed off to a Democrat. Clinton, managed to get it ratified in the winter of 1994 and the WTO replaced GATT in 1995. Then Clinton “Negotiated terms for China’s entry into the World Trade Organization, with Permanent Normal Trade Relations.” China officially joined the WTO in 2001 at the end of Clinton’s term.

CHINA & IRAN

Why China’s sitting on the Iran war sidelines — Asia Times

by Lyle Goldstein, June 25, 2025

Washington would do well to take note of Chinese restraint as the situation with Iran grinds on for foreseeable future

On a visit to Shanghai some years ago, I asked a leading Chinese strategist how Beijing would view a war between the US and Iran… he shocked me by explaining that China would benefit from the US fighting yet another costly war in the Middle East, since that could mark the “end of US global hegemony.” The Chinese have indeed always considered the Middle East as “the graveyard of empires.”

While hostilities have subsided for now, there remains a grim possibility that the Israel-Iran ceasefire could break down and the US will once again face pressure to come to Israel’s defense. If China were to aid Iran, as it has Pakistan, with aircraft, missiles, and battle management technologies, that would mark a troubling escalation.

But now, Beijing remains cautious about wielding its military power abroad. Still, China will likely reap geopolitical benefits if the US continues to be on an adversarial footing with Iran….

In a significant shift in Middle Eastern geopolitics, Iran is accelerating negotiations with China to acquire Chengdu J-10C multirole fighter jets, a move prompted by the failure of a long-anticipated deal with Russia

In a significant shift in Middle Eastern geopolitics, Iran is accelerating negotiations with China to acquire Chengdu J-10C multirole fighter jets, a move prompted by the failure of a long-anticipated deal with Russia for Su-35 aircraft. The decision comes on the heels of a bruising 12-day conflict between Israel and the United States, which exposed critical vulnerabilities in Iran’s aging air force and air defense systems.

Barack Obama, His Mother, and the CIA

by William Blum 

As one example of the CIA connections of these organizations, consider the disclosure by John Gilligan, Director of AID during the Carter administration (1977-81).

….Ann Dunham, had been associated during the 1970s and 80s — as employee, consultant, grantee, or student — with at least five organizations with intimate CIA connections during the Cold War: The Ford Foundation, Agency for International Development (AID), the Asia Foundation, Development Alternatives, Inc., and the East-West Center of Hawaii.[5] Much of this time she worked as an anthropologist in Indonesia and Hawaii, being in good position to gather intelligence about local communities.

As one example of the CIA connections of these organizations, consider the disclosure by John Gilligan, Director of AID during the Carter administration (1977-81). “At one time, many AID field offices were infiltrated from top to bottom with CIA people. The idea was to plant operatives in every kind of activity we had overseas, government, volunteer, religious, every kind.”[6] And Development Alternatives, Inc. is the organization for whom Alan Gross was working when arrested in Cuba and charged with being part of the ongoing American operation to destabilize the Cuban government…

In 2018, Mr Blum, born of Polish Jewish immigrants in NYC, was labeled an anti-Semite!

William Blum takes on the Washington Post again, in the person of columnist Max Boot, formerly of the Wall Street Journal

This is not the article I was planning but give current events I think I should stick my oar in. Forget religion THINK MONEY…

FIRST SEE: DEAR KMAG 20250305 USS LIBERTY & DAILY THREAD – The Q Tree a discussion of the USS Liberty & a video of a survivor with Colonel Towner.

I think this DELIBERATE ATTACK to create a false flag blamed on Egypt is a KEY CLUE given the history of the Brits/Rothschilds in Egypt and their interest in the Suez canal

EGYPT: Initial Contacts with the British

Trade links had existed between the two countries for as long as anyone could remember. Egypt was a key part of the old spice and trade routes between Europe and Asia. British traders had been loading and unloading their cargoes in Ottoman waters for generations.

British military and political interest in Egypt first manifested itself as it became obvious that in the Eighteenth Century, India was falling under the influence of Britain (and away from France). Despite, the direct sail routes around the Cape of Good Hope, Egypt still provided the quickest way of maintaining communications between Britain and India. It required a brief overland journey, but it was still substantially quicker than circumnavigating Africa….


This site, by a UK teacher, has an excellent timeline dealing with the British Empire. These are the key dates dealing with the Suez Canal.

1798Napoleon arrives in Egypt to destroy British trade and influence in the area. He defeats a Mameluke army at the Battle of the Pyramids. But, the British destroy his fleet at Aboukir Bay.
1841The Turkish Government grants hereditary soveriegnty to Mohammed Ali and his heirs.
1848Mohammed Ali dies. Replaced by Abbas I
1854Said takes over. He is an enthusiastic moderniser and supports construction of the Suez Canal.
1858Alexandria to Suez Railway Opened
1869Suez Canal opened
1875Disraeli buys the Khedive’s 40% holding in the Suez Canal company. Britain is now the largest single shareholder.
1876Anglo-French control of Egyptian finances
1885Britain and France declare the Suez Canal neutral.
1904French confirm that British power is preeminent in Egypt. Upsurge in Anti-European feeling.
1914Britain orders all foreign vessels out of Suez canal. Also, declares Egypt a protectorate
1921Rioting in Cairo and Alexandria
1922Egypt declared independent, but with Britian retaining responsibility for maintenance of communications, defence, protection of European interests and the question of Sudan. Sultan Fuad becomes King Fuad I. Tutankhamen discovered.
1924Governor General of Sudan Assassinated in Cairo – Egyptians Ordered to Withdraw from Sudan and Pay Indemnity
1929Britain agrees to withdraw some troops from Egypt, but not from canal zone.
1953Britain and Egypt discuss future of Suez Canal. British families advised to leave Egypt.
1954Britain agrees to withdrawal of 65,000 servicemen. Nasser ousts Neguib.
1955Israelis raid Egyptian held Gaza strip. Britain and Egypt agree to independence of Sudan.
1956Nasser assumes full executive powers and nationalises Suez Canal Company. Expels British, French and Zionist residents. British, French and Israeli forces react. But, diplomatic problems force the withdrawal of the British and French armies. Israel keeps Gaza strip.

So given Nasser kicked the Brits out, what has been the plan?

If you go to my recent article: KMAG 20250515 OPEN TOPIC plus YEMEN,

you see the Israelis are militarizing islands in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden by grabbing territory from Yemen and kicking the natives out. This is why the Houthis are attacking.


Please note this new article: Jun 16, 2025

Iran, Yemen launch missiles on Israel


Israeli media sources reported in the early minutes of Monday that a joint missile strike from Iran and Yemen is underway toward occupied territories.


Ben Gurion Canal Project: The Real Reason Behind the Israel-Palestine Conflict?

Since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas War on Oct. 7, rumors have circulated online about an alleged Israeli infrastructure project that would create an alternative to the Suez Canal, allowing Israel to control a waterway between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea.

The new canal, supposedly called the “Ben Gurion Canal” after Israeli founding father and first Prime Minister David Ben Gurion, would be a financial boost for Israel, but it would also have to run directly through the Gaza Strip.

Reason Behind a ‘Ben Gurion Canal’

The Suez Canal Authority had a record revenue of $9.4 billion in Egypt’s 2022 Fiscal Year, up from $7 billion the year before. Some 25,800 ships passed through the canal in FY 2022, up from 23,800 the previous year.

(RELATED: Panama Canal Crisis – How it Impacts the World Economy)

But the Suez and its profits were not always owned by the state of Egypt. In October 1956, a conflict between Israelis and Egyptians cascaded into what historians refer to as “the Suez Crisis,” when the British and French lost control over the Suez Canal after the Egyptian government nationalized it.

The Suez Canal was created by a French diplomat in 1869 and was jointly administered by a British-French imperial corporation. By the 1950s, Egypt had already been rebuffing Britain’s military presence at the canal, and was unhappy with the existence of Israel. But when Israeli troops pushed Egyptian forces toward the canal, as the U.S. backed out on a promise to fund a dam in the Nile River, Egypt seized control over the highly important trade route….

Previous Consideration of ‘Ben Gurion Canal’

It was revealed in a document from the 1960s (declassified in 1996) that the United States considered using 520 nuclear bombs to blow through the Israeli landmass in order to create an alternative to the Suez Canal similar to the alleged Ben Gurion Canal. It was produced by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, an institution funded by the U.S. Department of Energy.

The document, entitled “Use of Nuclear Explosives for Excavation of Sea-Level Canal Across the Negev Desert,” proposes creating a 160 mile long canal across Israel to as a “strategically valuable alternative” to the Suez that would “probably contribute greatly to the economic development of the surrounding area.” The author also suggests using the hypothetical canal to power a hydro-electric dam.

To create the passageway connecting the Mediterranean with the Gulf of Aqaba through the Negev desert, the paper notes, “it appears that nuclear explosives could be profitably applied to this situation.” It suggests a route that would “pass by Beersheba and the Gaza Strip,” specifically Gaza’s “coastal plain” which is described as “the least difficult to excavate” as it is “fairly close to seal level.”

After discussing the economic feasibility of the project, which it argues would only be a fraction of the ultimate pay off, the document brushes up against its “political feasibility,” recognizing “it is likely that the Arab countries surrounding Israel would object strongly to the construction of such a canal.”

Yandex.com several other articles if you search using “ben gurion canal”


Then there is a June 15th article on the Burning Platform:

London’s financial class didn’t just benefit from globalization— they practically wrote the instruction manual. For them to start hand-wringing now about “mass immigration” and “no benefits from free trade” is a sign the ground is shaking beneath the WEF cathedral. Coffee & Covid

The U.S. provides Israel more than $63 million* in military aid per day,

And it gets worse from there. SEE:

U.S. Aid to Israel

The United States has granted more total aid to Israel since World War II than to any other country.

Cumulative US foreign assistance obligations between 1946 and 2022 to the top ten recipients. Inflation-adjusted to 2022 dollars. (source)

In addition to this direct aid to Israel:

  • Israel gets most of its aid money at the start of each year, rather than in quarterly installments like other countries.
  • This means that Israel starts earning interest on the money right away – interest paid by the US since Israel deposits these funds into an interest-bearing account at the New York Federal Reserve Bank.
  • Because the US government operates at a deficit, it must borrow money in order to give it to Israel and then pay interest on it all year.
  • Together these have at times cost US taxpayers more than $100 million every year.

Like many government policies, this disbursement of U.S. tax money is not because it serves American interests, but instead is the result of special interest lobbying.

Another Unique Exception

Contrary to ordinary U.S. policy, Israel has been and continues to be allowed to use approximately a quarter of U.S. military aid to purchase equipment from Israeli manufacturers. According to CRS, “no other recipient of U.S. military assistance has been granted this benefit.” (In some years this percentage has increased to as high as 38.7%.)

The MOU requires this Off-Shore Procurement (OSP) to phase out over time, ending entirely in FY2028. However, according to the CRS report, Israeli defense contractors are responding to the planned phase-out by merging with U.S. companies or opening U.S. subsidiaries to continue their elegibility for defense contracts financed through FMF.

Thanks in part to this indirect U.S. subsidy, Israel’s arms industry has become one of the strongest in the world, and competes with US companies. Between 2001 and 2008, Israel was the 7th largest arms supplier to the world, selling $9.9 billion worth of equipment. And it continues to grow stronger. In 2021, Israel sold $11.3 billion in military goods to other countries…


Rep. Thomas Massie tells Tucker Carlson every GOP member of Congress has an ‘AIPAC babysitter’

Congressman Thomas Massie reveals to Tucker Carlson that his Republican colleagues have an “AIPAC babysitter” to ensure they vote in the interests of Israel at all times.

It’s the only country that does this,” Massie adds.

“Everybody but me has an AIPAC person — like your AIPAC babysitter, who is always talking to you for AIPAC,” Massie said. “They’re probably a constituent from your district but they’re firmly embedded in AIPAC.”

“Every member has something like this?” Tucker Carlson asked.

“Every Repub–, I don’t know how it works on the Democrat side, but that’s how it works on the Republican side, and when you come to DC you go have lunch with them and they’ve got your cell number and you have conversations with them.”

“That’s crazy,” Carlson responded.

“So, I’ve had four members of Congress say, ‘I’ll talk to my AIPAC person’ — that’s literally what we call them, ‘my AIPAC guy,'” Massie said, laughing. “‘I’ll talk to my AIPAC guy and see if I can get them to, you know, dial those ads back.'”

“Why have I never heard this before?” Carlson said.

“It doesn’t benefit anybody,” Massie said, “why would they want to tell their constituents that they’ve basically got a buddy system with somebody who is representing a foreign country, it doesn’t benefit the congressmen for people to know that so they’re not going to tell you that.”


Working Toward a World Without Hate — FBI

AntiDefamation League National Leadership Summit. … Since 2010, FBI employees have participated in more than 105 training sessions sponsored by the ADL on extremism, terrorism, and hate crimes, in 17 states and here in the District.


Basic Field Training Course

The Department of Justice released the Anti-Defamation League’s Basic Field Training Course (PDF). The course is mandatory for all FBI New Agent Trainees (NATs) and New Intelligence Analyst Trainees (NIATs). This release follows a decade of Freedom of Information Act requests and denials by the Department of Justice (PDF) and evasion by publicly funded content contributors.

The ADL course is developed and conducted by Anti-Defamation League (ADL) instructors. It selects materials from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) and Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial. Marcus Appelbaum, Museum Director of Law, Justice and Society Initiatives in 2014 resisted any public review of the curriculum, stating, “Unfortunately we do not randomly send out the curriculum.” Appelbaum also denied that any of the large amounts of U.S. taxpayer funding supporting the museum paid for the curriculum.

The ADL course facilitates a discussion of the USHMM video The Path to Nazi Genocide by asking trainees to watch and then consider “the challenges that police officers faced, and decisions they made in Germany during the Nazi era.” The video depicts the rise of Nazi Germany from WWI to the final WWII liberation of concentration camps replete with emaciated images of the dead and barely living.

The final question the video puts to agents in training is why the word “genocide” had to be coined in the aftermath. “As the world struggled to understand what had happened, a new word, genocide, w

Most of the people of the State of Israel oppose Prime Minister Netanyahu’s military threats against Iran. They fear the consequences of an attack on Iran. As Jewish leaders, we too believe that the path of wisdom towards achieving peace and stability in the region is through dialog and engagement and not through acts of war.

‘Stop Vetoing Peace,’ Rabbis Tell Biden at UN Security Council Protest

….the latest high-profile demonstration demanding the United States end its opposition to a cease-fire in Gaza.

The rabbis—whose action was organized by Rabbis for Cease-fire, Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, Jewish Voice for Peace, and IfNotNow—displayed banners with messages for U.S. President Joe Biden: “Biden: The World Says Cease-Fire,” and “Biden: Stop Vetoing Peace.”

The protest came weeks after the U.S. alone vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for Israel to end its bombardment of Gaza, which has killed at least 23,210 people, injured more than 59,100, and left thousands more missing and feared dead under rubble, as the population of the enclave faces starvation and disease stemming from Israel’s blockade…

Given recent happenings this should be of interest.

“FBI Uncovers Secret Gangs of Tattooed Los Angeles Deputies

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has launched a probe into multiple gangs hidden within the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

The Banditos, Spartans, Regulators, and Reapers are literal gangs that exist within the roughly 10,000 members of the Los Angeles law enforcement agency. The investigation was triggered by allegations of abuse by the Banditos in March.

Each member of the Banditos is tattooed with a skeleton wearing a sombrero, bandolier, and pistol. Allegations against them include using gang tactics to recruit young Latino deputies, and punishing those who reject their advances.”

more at link: https://www.breitbart.com/crime/2019/07/11/fbi-uncovers-secret-gangs-tattooed-los-angeles-deputies

As a 30+ year resident of this town, I know first hand the ineptitude of these “officers.” Disrespectful to peaceful people, thuggish attitude and general incompetence are their trademarks. The liberal courts have neutered the force into poverty managers, with racial and sexual setasides for the otherwise incapable applicants. Meanwhile enormous homade tents are erected on every public sidewalk while these “officers” ride on by, doing their community policing (ie fistbumping gangbangers).

Then we go to one of the Operation Gladio videos I wrote about recently.
OPERATION GLADIO – CHAPTER 47 – “USAID-Office of Public Safety” PART 5 – EP.394

24:45 Colonel: A little bit about that international police academy you just read about. This is the one set-up in DC.

International Law Enforcement Academy – Wikipedia

The OPS-operated International Police Academy (IPA) was instituted in 1963, and provided training to 7500 senior officers from seventy-seven countries in total.[1][15] Its first class included sixty-eight police officers from seventeen different nations.[16] The officers were trained at the
Georgetown Car Barn in Washington, D.C.[17] Until the early 1970s, selected candidates could also receive training from CIA officers at the U.S. Border Patrol academy in Los Fresnos, Texas, including the making of bombs and incendiary devices.

Role of the LAPD

The OPS conducted a form of international knowledge exchange by recruiting ordinary US police officers for ‘short-term tours of duty’ on overseas police assistance projects. The LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) was a major source of such officers, partly because a significant proportion of them spoke Spanish.[21]

LAPD officers were sent to Venezuela in 1962 to train local police officers and assist them in repression against the Armed Forces of National Liberation (AFNL).[10] Officers were also sent to the Dominican Republic in the same year; there was significant popular unrest following the CIA-backed assassination of dictator Rafael Trujillo, and Dominican police were struggling to keep order and train officers.[22]

27:15 Colonel: LAPD was not the only one, but it was one that was used. So basically they are sending US police officers TDY, to this locations. Wait until you hear what they do. So our police officers were being exposed to the CIA and probably often times recruited into being informants for the CIA while still being police officers. Because we know that is to hide the drug trafficking and stuff like that and if they catch one of the CIA guys in the drug network, it is just a matter of calling up one of your buddies that went on a deployment with you from the LAPD and saying Dude, he is one of ours leave him a lone. That is why they never get prosecuted.

28:05 Alpha: And just so everybody knows, that this really happens, I have been on the receiving end of those phone calls before. Where I was told Hey, and this is from some of the people you have worked with in the federal task force. And they say Hey, you have got one of ours, he is on our paperwork man. So do not hit him with new charges. Do what you are doing but don’t do this. And you are taking it like this. I have know this guy for years, we have been on teams together, I have got one of their informants. I do not want to compromise their informant. I do not want to compromise their investigation, so of course you go along with it.

And then you have to look back and wonder, did I stop one of their Gladio assets. And more scary than that Colonel, LAPD is one of the police department here in California that is giving badges to people who are NOT US CITIZENS.

29:05 – 29:30 Colonel: After they train people in foreign countries to do all kinds of horrendous things…

Back to my older notes:


The Illegals goal is ANNEXING USA TERRITORY as shown above. It is no secret.

American Thinker: Mexico: Lopez-Obrador’s bizarre statement

Mexican presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) called for mass immigration to the United States during a speech Tuesday declaring it a “human right” for all North Americans....


La Raza’s goals are to bring California, Texas and other southwestern states into Mexico. ‘re-conquista of land’ BOUGHT from Mexico after the war. They have explicitly said they intend to remove or kill all people not of “The Race” in this area. Here is the extent to which they have achieved infiltration of these areas.


Note the fact that the La Raza Lawyers Association links to the National Council of La Raza on their websites “community” section and it has very few such links. These are the lawyers down in Mexico helping the invaders.

Reconquesta

Check out the schools and read about what they’re taught in their “chicano studies” — to invade and weaken US to “take back their Mexico” La Raza/MEChA receives federal funding including 30 million in CA alone to TEACH this crap to Hispanics.

…Conference on March 15 – 18, 2001, the official “MEChA Philosophy” was ratified. An excerpt from the document states: “as Mechistas, we vow to work for the liberation of Aztlan.”

The MEChA Clubs on each of the Santa Barbara high school campuses are not the only ones. MEChA groups exist on 90 percent of the public high school, college and university campuses in the Southwestern United States...

MEChA Guiding Documents

Guiding Documents

MEChA has three guiding documents: El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan, El Plan de Santa Barbara, and the Philosophy of MEChA. These documents outline our principles and ideology, and help all MEChistAs work toward the common goal of uniting all Raza.

El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan

In 1969, the National Chicano Youth Conference’s agenda was to begin the formation of an identity and an ideology for the Chicano Movement, the result of which was El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan. The plan concluded that what would truly solidify the Movement was the ideology of Chicano Nationalism. El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan states: “Nationalism, as the key to organization, transcends all religious, political, class, and economic faction boundaries. Nationalism is the common denominator that all members of La Raza can agree upon.” In a word El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan, created and gave direction to the Chicano Movement. It is this document that we as MEChistAs look back upon as a reminder of why we continue to fight for social justice….

El Plan de Santa Barbara

As a result of the Chicano Coordinating Council on Higher Education held at UC, Santa Barbara, the goal of El Plan de Santa Barbara was to develop a master plan for the creation of a curriculum and the related structures and services that would facilitate Chicano/a access to institutions of higher learning. This was significant, because it was the first opportunity for Chicano/as to implement the ideas of El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan. El Plan de Santa Barbara set the framework for the establishment of Chicano Studies programs and the creation of MEChA, the student arm of el Movimiento Chicano/a that would keep la causa moving forward on school campuses….

And from Human Events 2006/04/07

The Truth About LaRaza

“…Chicano is our identity; it defines who we are as people. It rejects the notion that we…should assimilate into the Anglo-American melting pot…Aztlan was the legendary homeland of the Aztecas … It became synonymous with the vast territories of the Southwest, brutally stolen from a Mexican people marginalized and betrayed by the hostile custodians of the Manifest Destiny.”

(Statement on University of Oregon MEChA Website, Jan. 3, 2006)

We are a bronze people with a bronze culture. Before the world, before all of North America, before all our brothers in the bronze continent, we are a nation, we are a union of free pueblos, we are Aztlan. For La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada.”

“That closing two-sentence motto is chilling to everyone who values equal rights for all. It says: “For The Race everything. Outside The Race, nothing.”

I have 21 pages of old notes, but I think that sampling gets the point across. 🤓 Now on to the present day and the various X accounts brought to the Q Tree.

EXCLUSIVE:

Taxpayer-Funded Nonprofit Behind the Anti-ICE Riots in Los Angeles. Over the past two days, ICE agents have conducted targeted operations across the Los Angeles region, detaining more than 40 suspected illegal aliens.

These enforcement actions triggered large-scale demonstrations, some of which turned confrontational, with reports of vandalism, blocked traffic, and physical clashes with federal agents.

The unrest has prompted questions about who is organizing and funding these protests.

One of the organizations at the center of the resistance to ICE is the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), a Los Angeles nonprofit that has long provided legal and advocacy services to illegal aliens.

CHIRLA is known for radical positions on immigration—for example, it led a campaign to abolish ICE in 2018. Yesterday afternoon, as clashes with federal law enforcement were heating up, CHIRLA Executive Director Angelica Salas held a press conference during which she announced that the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network’s hotline had received more than 50 calls reporting ICE activity and sightings of “men in military garb.”

LARRN is organized by a coalition of nonprofits, and CHIRLA plays a central role, using its main phone line as the hotline number. LARRN’s hotline is one of the communication systems that allows legal observers, volunteers, and other activists to be quickly dispatched to the scene of immigration enforcement actions.

During her remarks, Salas referred to SEIU California President David Huerta as her “brother,” highlighting CHIRLA’s close ties to organized labor in California.

Huerta had been arrested during one of the protests for blocking the path of an ICE vehicle, as shown by video footage released by U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli.

Governor Gavin Newsom expressed his unequivocal support for Huerta, claiming he was only “witnessing” the action, while Essayli announced his intention to file criminal charges.

For her part, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has defiantly opposed federal immigration enforcement in the city, stating on social media Friday, “We will not stand for this” and “No vamos a permitir estas acciones,” (“We are not going to permit these actions”).

She added that her office would collaborate with community-based organizations that serve immigrants. She has a long relationship with CHIRLA and bragged last year about obtaining federal funding for CHIRLA’s programs.

That grant is part of a broader stream of public dollars that the organization receives from government sources. In fact, according to a financial audit submitted to the state, the CHIRLA organization received nearly $34 million in revenue from government contracts during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, with 96% of that funding from the State of California.

That figure marks a sharp increase from the prior year, when it received around $12 million in government contract revenue. Agencies contributing to CHIRLA’s funding during this period included the California Department of Social Services, the California Arts Council, the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, and the Department of Homeland Security.

Notably, as mentioned above, a DHS contract funded CHIRLA to provide citizenship instruction and naturalization services.

With $100,000 remaining on CHIRLA’s contract, DHS froze the remaining funds in February.

CHIRLA responded by suing. The court denied their motion for a preliminary injunction on May 29.

This is one of two lawsuits CHIRLA filed against DHS this year. The other was dismissed for lack of standing and is on appeal. To sum up how this works:

Your tax dollars fund an organization that organizes efforts to directly interfere with the federal government’s lawful exercise of authority. Then, through its lobbying arm, that organization helps get Democrats elected to office, who then repay the favor by ensuring increased funding. This is the nonprofit industrial complex at work.

kalbokalbs brought this. And this is where things get interesting. Remember from my above notes, the previous Mexican President was encouraging Mexicans to invade the USA.

I went into that thread and skimmed off interesting comments and memes. Here they are.

Arne aus den Ruthen @arnemx

For decades, Mexico’s foreign policy has been guided by the principle of non-intervention — respect for other nations’ internal affairs. Now, Sheinbaum threatens to organize mobilizations inside the U.S. She’s breaking one of Mexico’s most fundamental diplomatic doctrines

Adolfo Alvarez Replying to @arnemx

Arne, I’m not defending or in agreement with @Claudiashein , but the mobilization and protest are due and against “immigration raids within USofA” and not a mobilization against US tariffs. Claudia is not calling or instigating Mexicans in United States to a riot against tariffs. Do not distort the news. MENTIROSO !

All that really matters is she is directing HER CITIZENS in the USA to defy OUR PRESIDENT on top of the previous president instructing Mexicans to invade our country. Stealth invasion with the goal of taking US territory anyone?

MAGADAD SAYS THE IMPORTANT PART OUT LOUD. It was fairly far down in the replies.

MAGA_DAD @Das_rooster Replying to @arnemx

That should fulfill the part of the Alien Enemies Act that requires a foreign government’s direction.

TravisManer Replying to @arnemx

Mexico’s deliberate facilitation of illegal mass migration into the United States, if proven to be state-sponsored with intent to erode U.S. sovereignty, blatantly violates the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848), particularly Article XI’s implied commitment to mutual border integrity. By enabling unauthorized crossings, Mexico undermines the hard-won territorial settlement that saw the U.S. secure approximately 950,000 square miles—nearly half of Mexico’s pre-war territory—while returning 250,000–300,000 square miles of occupied land. This provocative act disrespects the treaty’s border delineation, threatening the sovereignty of the U.S., which expanded to 3.2 million square miles after the war, and mocks the sacrifices made to establish clear boundaries.

Dragon Fire Replying to @arnemx

She did NOT use the word “protest”. She said “rise up” and “mobilize” to her “fellow countrymen” in the US. That is called a declaration of war.


Art Hida @HidaReadsComics Replying to @arnemx

Why are people calling hey President Elect? She’s been in office since October.


Arne aus den Ruthen replied

In Mexico, many already call her the “vice president” — not because the role exists, but because she takes orders from her predecessor. And let’s not forget: that predecessor is widely seen as a servant of the cartels, not the people.

OUCH!! 🤓


dardanidae Replying to @arnemx

Here is the heart of it. Trump must put a 100% tax on all remittances leave the US for Central America. This will cut-off the reason most illegal aliens are here and they will go back.


Arne aus den Ruthen in reply

Exactly — this is the core issue. A remittance tax isn’t just revenue. It’s transparency. The @IRSenEspanol could finally see who’s sending money, and why — legal, illegal, or criminal.


Bret Seufert Replying to @arnemx

Approximately $68 billion in remittances flowed from the U.S. to Mexico in 2024.


This is in 2019

And just as a reminder…

Why the ‘Local Multiplier Effect’ Always Counts

The Local Multiplier Effect (LME) is a very valuable, hidden feature of our economies. The term refers to how many times dollars are recirculated within a local economy before leaving through the purchase of an import. Famed economist John Maynard Keynes 🤮 first coined the term “Local Multiplier Effect” in his 1936 book The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money.

A Hypothetical Example

Imagine a hypothetical influx of money, say one million dollars, entering a local economy. Now imagine these dollars are spent on local goods and services. Imagine that each of the local vendors who earned those dollars then re-spends that money on more local goods and services. Envision this cycle happening several times before this money is finally spent on imports – goods or services from outside the region.

In this case, those one million dollars recirculating eight times would act much like eight million dollars by increasing revenue and income opportunities for local producers.

Now another scenario: picture that same amount of money being spent immediately at stores (or online) with businesses headquartered in other regions on imported goods. These transactions would add very little or no value to the local economy; one million dollars would act just like one million dollars instead of several million dollars.

History and Impact

Over the past 50 years, the expansion of national businesses into local domestic markets has diverted this vital monetary stream and redirected it to centralized corporate coffers….

From Data republican (small r) a thread bring the financial data. All of the following is a quote from her.
https://xcancel.com/DataRepublican/status/1931508083127362024

🚨🔥WHO’S BEHIND THE ANTI-ICE RIOTS IN LOS ANGELES? 🔥🚨

Hundreds took to the streets this weekend: blocking roads, attacking federal officers, even burning flags. But this wasn’t “spontaneous outrage.” This was organized. Funded. Coordinated. Here’s a breakdown of the groups, the money, and the people pulling the strings.

Patience as I assemble the thread and verify information in real time

A number of NGOs have been implicated in this. Foremost is Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights or CHIRLA, and the photos of signs show they were printed by PSLWEB / Party for Socialism and Liberation.

CHIRLA has the EIN of 954421521. Most of its private funding appears to be from DAFs, which are the hardest to trace. However 34 million of its reported 45 million in revenue are from government grants.

In their most recent year, CHIRLA jumped from 12 million to 34 million in government grants. Nice! However, this is probably from CA – “only” 450K in federal grants.

These are their two federal grants, both completed. Now moving onto PSLWeb…

The group which printed the signs for protests, Party for Socialism and Liberation, is not a nonprofit – they are a literal Communist party.

Finding financials is tricky, but I did find a Wiki reference to “ANSWER Coalition”

ANSWER Coalition is mentioned on their Wikipedia page to have significant financial overlap.

It is tough to find backings on either group, as they do not have a nonprofit associated with them. Both claim to be funded entirely by members. (🐄💩)

However, I did find a NY Post article claiming that both are funded by billionaire socialist Neville Singer. [Correction Neville Singham -GC]

Singham also financed the People’s Forum – giving it over 20 million dollars. All 3 Singham-financed organizations were also heavily involved in the Columbia protests.

The SEIU-CA president got arrested. I researched SEIU’s financials, but they are mostly dues-backed.

Moving onto other organizations: it appears as though the Million Voters Project was involved in promoting the project.

Here’s the magical D-word… Democracy … on the MVP website.

Million Voters Project gets their funding from a variety of grants, no taxpayer funding.

That’s the end of the deep search. Overall, my guess is if we had to finger a culprit behind all this – it’s Neville Singham. He will be fertile ground in my feed in the coming days.

I’m going to wrap up the thread here. Thanks for following. 

Just who is Neville Singham?

One last word: I normally don’t pass on “gossip”, but a credible source leaked to me that Qatar is heavily involved.

However, I haven’t made that particular connection yet. 

End of Data republic’s thread.

President Trump must invoke the Insurrection Act. 

Americans confront millions of illegals who pose an existential threat to the American Republic.  

Given the size and scope of what is coming POTUS MUST ACT NOW to bring back ALL US GROUND FORCES FROM overseas and employ them at home to restore the rule of law and execute mass deportations.

He must also mobilize the Army National Guard and federalize [NOPE do not want to set precedence– GC] all of our law enforcement.

Morgenthau Plan – Wikipedia

The Morgenthau Plan was a proposal to weaken Germany following World War II  by eliminating its arms industry and removing or destroying other key industries basic to military strength. This included the removal or destruction of all industrial plants and equipment in the Ruhr. It was first proposed by United States Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. in a 1944 memorandum entitled Suggested Post-Surrender Program for Germany….

That sure sounds like what was done to the USA via ‘leveraged buyouts’ in the 1980s thanks to Reagan’s laissez-faire attitude towards monopolies. According to Source Watch a long list of industries now have over 50% foreign ownership.

I worked for one of the targeted AMERICAN corporations. Here’s how they ran their business. Compare these methods to those of current corporations:

  • Personnel were hired for the long term & for their ability to grow into other jobs.
  • The corporation paid for continuing education and would even give time off for critical courses if you were going for a degree.
  • NO CORPORATE DEBT
  • SELF INSURED HEALTHCARE provided to the employees
  • American owned
  • Matching-funds if you bought corporate stock up to 10% of your salary. [This is why they succeeded in fighting off the first few hostile take-over attacks… Until the CEO mysteriously died of a heart attack at his desk. – A CIA hit maybe? Given what I know now it is not as far-fetched an idea as I first thought.]
  • Committed to QUALITY, Religion & the USA.

What allowed the buyout of US corporations? Mutual Funds & Pension Funds held stock in them. The stock, purchased using YOUR MONEY or pensions and was held in YOUR NAME. But you didn’t vote it as a stockholder. Instead, the stock was VOTED by Fidelity, Vanguard, Blackrock, State Street and other financial institutions. They are the ones who voted to allow the leveraged buyouts.

Do not forget 401K plans. They are another control transfer mechanism.

Americans held approximately $7.3 trillion in 401(k) plans as of June 30, 2021, according to the Investment Company Institute. And the typical wealth held in an American family’s 401(k) has more than tripled  since the late 1980s…

In 1974, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) was enacted, [There is that 1974 date again. — GC] creating a governmental body that oversaw and regulated company-sponsored retirement and health care plans for workers.

ERISA temporarily halted IRS plans to severely restrict retirement plans through regulation in the early 1970s, according to the EBRI. The Act created a study of employee salary reduction plans as well, which the EBRI credits for influencing the creation of the 401(k) later on in the decade….

The modern 401(k) originated in earnest in 1978 with a provision in The Revenue Act of 1978 which said that employees can choose to receive a portion of income as deferred compensation, and created tax structures around it.

Section 401 was originally intended by lawmakers to limit companies creating tax-advantaged profit-sharing plans that mostly benefited executives, according to the ICI. Thanks to the interpretation of the section by businessman Ted Benna, the language evolved into the basis of the modern 401(k), as it enabled profit-sharing plans to adopt CODAs.

The law was signed by President Jimmy Carter and became effective at the turn of the decade….

Is it any wonder that ‘the little guy’ now has very little influence over the big corporations?

….

But it gets worse. In 2010 the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v. FEC allowed corporations and unions to spend unlimited amounts of money on political advertisements and other forms of independent political expenditures. The founders, who hated corporations, must be rolling in their graves. SEE: What The Founding Fathers Thought About Corporations

Supreme Court decisions that paved the way for big money in politics

Supreme Court Decisions

Believe it or not, before some recent Supreme Court decisions the American political system was not always so skewed in favor of the wealthy and powerful. In fact, dating back to the Tillman Act of 1907 and the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947, Congress limited the ability of corporations and labor unions to make contributions or expenditures in connection with political campaigns.

The influx of money from corporations, unions, and ultra-wealthy individuals in recent decades is due largely to a few poorly reasoned Supreme Court decisions. The best way to understand how our campaign finance laws became so horribly dysfunctional is to understand those decisions, which are explained in detail below.

The article goes through what each decision did to our election system.

One of the biggest problems as SourceWatch showed, is these corporations influencing our elections are no longer even AMERICAN corporations but are instead TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS run by FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS – AKA the Banksters using the Mercantile system. However if an international corporation has offices in the USA, they can donate to political campaigns or run ads. So much for ‘American only’ influence in our political campaigns. 😡

WILTED IVY: The Death of Prestige and the Rise of Sovereignty

…Carroll Quigley, a historian with privileged access, wrote in Tragedy and Hope, [1966]

“The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim… nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands.”

Harvard, in this view, acted less as a neutral educator and more as a strategic hub.

They didn’t just teach economics.
They reinforced orthodoxy:

  • Orthodoxy of narratives.
  • Orthodoxy of institutions.
  • Orthodoxy of “experts” upholding the prevailing system.

Graduating from an Ivy League school was less about critical thinking, and more about credentialing for access into the upper tiers of an increasingly globalized control system.

This is why the collapse of their perceived invincibility isn’t just symbolic, it’s tectonic.

Because if Harvard can fall, the entire scaffolding of manufactured consensus can fall with it.

If Harvard shaped minds, BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street shaped markets.

👉These three asset managers didn’t merely participate in corporate governance, they dominated it. Their collective control over trillions of dollars made them the unofficial enforcement arm of the globalist order….

Good old Commie central. I lived near there in the Combat Zone. The area leans so far left, that three decades ago a friend, originally a card-carrying communist , had to register as a Republican and work the polls so Cambridge MA could hold their elections!

Also whenever a small company, such as the one I worked for or Spags, suddenly had problems from major changes in the way they did business and then went under, Hubby & I would say they had been HAVAAAAD business schooled. The method was to cut needed expenses such as ongoing maintenance so the bottom line looked really good for a couple years and then move on to the next victim.

The Spags case was special. The store was not open on Sunday because the Borgatti family was religious. The old man dealt in CASH ONLY, no checks or credit cards. Thus he could also get really good deals on merchandise by paying THAT DAY and NOT paying 3 months later as most stores do. Also since Massachusetts taxed inventory in warehouses but NOT goods in transit, he stored his merchandise in trailers in his lot. His retail store was a no-frills warehouse with the merchandise on warehouse racks in cut open boxes. (No additional stock boys.) When he died his kids hired a Harvard business grad. They started taking credit cards (5% paid to the card company by the vendor) fancied up the selling area ($$$$) got a warehouse ($$$$) and the business went under in a few years and was sold.


Today, those asset managers DO NOT LIKE TRUMP’S TARIFFS. Thus you are going to see price gouging such as bananas going from $0.39 to $0.59 in ONE WEEK. Allowing the Fake news arm of the globalists to jump in and BLAME TARIFFS.

Trump will destroy world trade, but democracies can defend themselves — and each other | the Guardian UK

by Anders Fogh Rasmussen

We need a trade block, a D7, that would mirror Nato. An economic attack on one would be an attack on all

Anders Fogh Rasmussen is a former prime minister of Denmark and 👉former secretary general of Nato


[He writes:]

The postwar global economic order, with the United States at its centre, has created more prosperity than any other period in human history. [by sucking the USA dry. –GC] Yet as Donald Trump takes a sledgehammer to that economic order, America’s democratic allies face a choice. We can accept the new cost of doing business with the US. We can follow the US down a path of mutually assured economic destruction with an ever-escalating trade warOr we can find new avenues to keep free trade alive.

[FREE? You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! –FREE to the EU but NOT to the USA that is getting raped via multiple methods. -GC]

My proposition? I believe we need a new platform for economic cooperation between the world’s seven leading democracies. Call it the “Democratic 7”, or “D7”. The EU, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea represent roughly 25% of global GDP and account for about 35% of global trade volume. Together, these democracies can help to shield each other from the threats of economic nationalism and coercion – while also championing democracy, the rule of law, and market economics…


GEE, the EU, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea… What do they all have in common? WHY THE US MILITARY GUARDS THEM! 🤔🤓

What happens if the USA under Trump joins BRICS?

This problem was also identified by Angelo M. Codevilla (may he rest in peace) in July of 2010.

America’s Ruling Class—And the Perils of Revolution

…The only serious opposition to this arrogant Ruling Party is coming not from feckless Republicans but from what might be called the Country Party—and its vision is revolutionary.

As over-leveraged investment houses began to fail in September 2008, the leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties, of major corporations, and opinion leaders stretching from the National Review magazine (and The Wall Street Journal) on the right to The Nation magazine on the left, agreed that spending some $700 billion to buy the investors’ “toxic assets” was the only alternative to the U.S. economy’s “systemic collapse.” In this, President George W. Bush and his would-be Republican successor John McCain agreed with the Democratic candidate, Barack Obama. Many, if not most, people around them also agreed upon the eventual commitment of some 10 trillion nonexistent dollars in ways unprecedented in America. They explained neither the difference between the assets’ nominal and real values, nor precisely why letting the market find the latter would collapse America.

The public objected immediately, by margins of three or four to one.

When this majority discovered that virtually no one in a position of power in either party or with a national voice would take their objections seriously, that decisions about their money were being made in bipartisan backroom deals with interested parties, and that the laws on these matters were being voted by people who had not read them, the term “political class” came into use. Then, after those in power changed their plans from buying toxic assets to buying up equity in banks and major industries but refused to explain why, when they reasserted their right to decide ad hoc on these and so many other matters, supposing them to be beyond the general public’s understanding, the American people started referring to those in and around government as the “ruling class.” …

The Republican Party did not disparage the ruling class, because most of its officials are or would like to be part of it.

Never has there been so little diversity within America’s upper crust. Always, in America as elsewhere, some people have been wealthier and more powerful than others. But until our own time America’s upper crust was a mixture of people who had gained prominence in a variety of ways, who drew their money and status from different sources and were not predictably of one mind on any given matter….

Today’s ruling class, from Boston to San Diego, was formed by an educational system that exposed them to the same ideas and gave them remarkably uniform guidance, as well as tastes and habits. These amount to a social canon of judgments about good and evil, complete with secular sacred history, sins (against minorities and the environment), and saints. Using the right words and avoiding the wrong ones when referring to such matters — speaking the “in” language — serves as a badge of identity. Regardless of what business or profession they are in, their road up included government channels and government money because, as government has grown, its boundary with the rest of American life has become indistinct. Many began their careers in government and leveraged their way into the private sector. Some, e.g., Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner, never held a non-government job. Hence whether formally in government, out of it, or halfway, America’s ruling class speaks the language and has the tastes, habits, and tools of bureaucrats. It rules uneasily over the majority of Americans not oriented to government.

…The two classes have less in common culturally, dislike each other more, and embody ways of life more different from one another than did the 19th century’s Northerners and Southerners — nearly all of whom, as Lincoln reminded them, “prayed to the same God.” By contrast, while most Americans pray to the God “who created and doth sustain us,” our ruling class prays to itself as “saviors of the planet” and improvers of humanity. Our classes’ clash is over “whose country” America is, over what way of life will prevail, over who is to defer to whom about what. The gravity of such divisions points us, as it did Lincoln, to Mark’s Gospel: “if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”….


And thus the Tea Party was formed and ATTACKED by both the Democrats (LINK 1 and LINK 2) followed by the Republicans — Chamber of Commerce to Spend $100 Million to Destroy Tea Party. I guess the big transnational corporations did not like the idea of the serfs organizing.

Here is an example of the types of articles you would see in academic circles.

A Nation Dispossessed: The Tea Party Movement and Race — 2011

Leonard Zeskind

Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights, USA

Critical Sociology 0(0) 1–15 © The Author(s) 2011 Reprints and permission: https://uk.sagepub.com/en-gb/eur/journals

Abstract

This analysis combines both qualitative information and quantitative data. The author reviewed numerous first person reports of Tea Party rallies, conferences and meetings from every corner of the country, and read most of the movement’s own literature. The Tea Parties are described as a unique movement appearing at a specific historical moment. The movement encompasses constituent national networks, core members and more loosely aligned supporters. Its supporters are overwhelmingly white and middle class. Matters of race and national identity motivate many Tea Partiers as well as a sense of dispossession from their place of privilege in the racial order. This analysis takes at face value the movement’s dress, symbols and invocation of the constitution, as well as its claims to embody the aspirations of a narrow body of ‘real Americans’. By making an exclusionary claim on the nation’s founding moments, they actually set themselves apart from other Americans.

Conclusion
Social movements do not last forever. More often than not, they have one or another or a combination of three fates. One, they are either victorious and decline after reaching their goal. Two, they are defeated outright. Three, they are co-opted by some larger institution.

The militia movement that emerged in the 1990s, for example, was defeated following the
Oklahoma City bombing in 1995
by a concerted campaign of civic opposition and government repression. Militia groups have reappeared, but the movement itself is gone as of now. To go back further in history, the Ku Klux Klan and other white-minded thugs that emerged during the Reconstruction period after the Civil War were essentially victorious in re-establishing the system of white supremacy in the former Confederacy, and the Klan dissolved effortlessly into the Democratic Party before the end of the century. The Klan in the 1920s may have suffered from the scandals surrounding its leadership, but the movement did not die until after it won a change in the 1924 immigration law that protected Anglo-Saxon hegemony for another generation. After that it basically closed up shop, except in the Deep South. The Klan, the Citizens Councils, the Birchers
and the segregationists in the 1950s and 1960s were decisively defeated by the black freedom movement, and they were left standing with empty hands after Governor George Wallace’s independent presidential campaign in 1968. Only the Republican Party gained after it adopted its infamous ‘Southern Strategy’.

The decisive moments that will decide the Tea Parties’ fate have not yet occurred. The movement’s sights are set squarely on November 2012. If they win back the presidency for the Republican Party, the movement might or might not dissolve into squabbling factions. If they perceive that they have lost that election, or the Republican primaries before it, an internal power struggle may or may not split it irrevocably apart. Win, lose or draw, however, the Tea Party movement has already left important markers on America’s political landscape: First, in the current debate over economic policy and the national debt, they have moved the discussion toward fiscal restraint and de-regulation. They stand in the way of environmental protection and other measures by which the federal government might promote the common good. Of more long-term consequence, however, will be its legacy in the arena of race. Please consider that the Tea Party movement may be a precursor of an even larger revolt by supposedly dispossessed white people as the expected population and demographic shifts occur in the decades to come.

Keywords Tea Party, Tea Party movement, nationalism, racism, white dispossession, white majority fears, white nationalism

Good Grief the Tea Party was NEVER, EVER about RACE. It was about the Federal Reserve, Fractional Reserve Banking, TOO MUCH TAX and not enough FISCAL RESTRAINT! By ignoring the complaints and driving the Tea Party underground the Globalists forced the birth of MAGA.

…..

Wolf Moon in a comment thread gets into more of this information and its connections to today via Jack Smith.

I did research this. What I know is that his name is John L. Smith, where L is weird and I forgot what it is.

And he was indeed an attorney for the ICC/ICJ in the Hague – even Politico fact-checks this as TRUE, with lots of details.

But THIS is the most important part.

I did a Twitter thread on the guy, last year.

The Hague is a city in the Netherlands that is the home of U.N.’s International Court of justice and the International Criminal Court. So Jack Smith worked for the Globalists. — GC

You can see the entire thread using this URL: https://xcancel.com/WOLFM00N/status/1674123794301046800

TEXT from the first few tweets.

The entire problem of “John Smith” (yes, that’s his real name) as special counsel is explained by this great article on Smith’s insane war against the Tea Party movement. The guy will relentlessly push bad theories until other people get into trouble.

Jack Smith’s Tortured History With Republicans in Congress

This guy John Smith is literally, personally, WHY there was a Tea Party IRS scandal. Without him, no scandal. He’s the one who pushed the IRS into criminal persecution of conservatives. His DOJ then had IRS people pleading the Fifth to hide crimes against American citizens. [VIDEO]

Wolf Moon@WOLFM00N

28 Jun 2023

IMO, dirty judge Merrick Garland and Obama DOJ handler Lisa Monaco chose Smith not to win the case, but to drive Trump out of politics. Smith did exactly that to John Edwards. Smith LOST his case against Edwards, but drove him out of politics for good.

Trump special counsel Jack Smith lost the John Edwards case — what might that mean?


Wolfm00n gives more examples of Smith’s sucessful lawfare cases used to destroy political opponents.

….

So, getting back to Angelo Codevilla’s article, WHERE did all that 2008-9 bank bailout money actually go??? Why to our European Masters of course. SEE: The Federal Reserve’s Covert Bailout of Europe And the American Tax Payer got stuck with the TRILLIONS in debt AS USUAL.

It is interesting that POTUS Trump is FINALLY going after the EU that has been taking advantage of the USA since WWII. FINALLY, the US might stop hemorrhaging wealth and lives.

TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS

The Network of Global Corporate Control

 …we find that only 737 top holders accumulate 80% of the control over the value of all TNCs [Trans National Corporations] …This means that network control is much more unequally distributed than wealth. In particular, the top ranked actors hold a control ten times bigger than what could be expected based on their wealth…

…In detail, nearly 4/10 of the control over the economic value of TNCs in the world is held, via a complicated web of ownership relations, by a group of 147 TNCs in the core, which has almost full control over itself. The top holders within the core can thus be thought of as an economic “super-entity” in the global network of corporations. A relevant additional fact at this point is that 3/4 of the core are financial intermediaries….


Exposing the Financial Core of the Transnational Capitalist Class

Introduction

In this study, we decided to identify in detail the people on the boards of directors of the top ten asset management firms and the top ten most centralized corporations in the world. Because of overlaps, there is a total of thirteen firms, which collectively have 161 directors on their boards. We think that this group of 161 individuals represents the financial core of the world’s transnational capitalist class. They collectively manage $23.91 trillion in funds and operate in nearly every country in the world. They are the center of the financial capital that powers the global economic system. Western governments and international policy bodies work in the interests of this financial core to protect the free flow of capital investment anywhere in the world…


The Transnational Capitalist Class (2000), Leslie Sklair argued that globalization elevated transnational corporations (TNC) to more influential international roles, with the result that nation-states became less significant than international agreements developed through the World Trade Organization (WTO) and other international institutions.8 Emerging from these multinational corporations was a transnational capitalist class, whose loyalties and interests, while still rooted in their corporations, was increasingly international in scope. Sklair wrote:

The transnational capitalist class can be analytically divided into four main fractions: (i) owners and controllers of TNCs and their local affiliates; (ii) globalizing bureaucrats and politicians; (iii) globalizing professionals; (iv) consumerist elites (merchants and media). .  . It is also important to note, of course, that the TCC and each of its fractions are not always entirely united on every issue. Nevertheless, together, leading personnel in these groups constitute a global power elite, dominant class or inner circle in the sense that these terms have been used to characterize the dominant class structures of specific countries...

This is why the Supreme Court decisions to give these TNCs control of our political campaigns was so detrimental to the USA. It explains why the Republicans and Democrats are globalists and not patriots.

☕️ TRADING MAYORS ☙ Tuesday, May 20, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠


A Major Hat-tip to barkerjim for introducing me to C&C News.

⚖️ Rounding out today’s accountability trifecta, on Sunday the Washington Post ran an intriguing story headlined, “Trump Justice Dept. considers removing key check on lawmaker prosecutions.The “key check” is a Biden-era rule that forbids Attorneys General from investigating public officials for corruption without first getting permission from the DC field office. You can guess how often that happens.

According to leakers (“three people familiar with the proposal”), federal prosecutors across the country may soon be able to indict members of Congress without pre-approval from “lawyers in the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section,” or PIN, which is safely settled in Washington, DC where politicians can keep a wary eye on them.

Even better, under the new plan, FBI investigators and prosecutors would also be freed from having to ‘consult’ with the section’s attorneys “during key steps of probes into public officials.” In other words, even when the DC office did green-light an indictment, it still micromanaged the whole investigation.

Currently, the DOJ’s manual requires that PIN’s attorneys must approve —not just be consulted on— any charges against members of Congress. It doesn’t happen often, to say the least.

WaPo, probably intentionally, missed the painfully obvious point: a special oversight privilege for public officials provides them with a special tier of justice that other Americans do not enjoy. WaPo whined that the Public Integrity Section’s role was to “ensure that cases against public officials are legally sound and not politically motivated.”

But … what about us? Wouldn’t it be better and fairer to ensure that cases against all Americans are legally sound and not politically motivated, and not just public officials?

The ironically named Public Integrity office has already “dramatically shrunk” during the Trump administration, plunging from around 30 prosecutors by the end of the Biden administration to fewer than five today. One was fired, some rage-quit over the dismissal of the DOJ’s case against New York’s Democrat Mayor Eric Adams, while others have been “detailed to different sections in the department,” such as the division of Indian Affairs. In Trump’s first week in office, he fired PIN Director Corey Amundson.

It sure makes you think. Say you were planning to initiate wide-scale investigations into members of Congress, maybe for NGO abuse, insider trading, or general self-enrichment. This kind of thing would probably be your first move. Just saying.

C&C News on Tariffs

☕️ DULY PROCESSED ☙ Saturday, May 17, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠

President Trump and his team appear to have no intention of losing Congress in next year’s midterms. And after seeing Trump’s scorched-earth tariff plan, imagine what similar kind of comprehensive strategy they might be deploying to completely destroy the Democrat brand. That is what I believe is happening.

The Democrats are getting further and further behind.

Here’s a thought experiment. Imagine that the next 18 months sees a steady series of increasingly damning disclosures about Biden’s lack of a real presidency plus the mounting evidence of 2020’s stolen election?

Remember, just like they gained access to the Biden Audio, the Trump Team now has access to all that information, too. They have receipts….

Whoopsies! Sorry, experts. This week, Politico ran a story headlined, “Tariffs have little impact on prices, defying forecasts.” Unexpectedly!

On Tuesday, the Labor Department reported that prices only rose at an annualized rate of 2.3 percent, the smallest increase since 2020— before the pandemic. And that was in spite of tariffs. It’s almost like Trump’s tariffs have had the opposite effect the experts sagely predicted.

An honest media would call the experts to account, and require them to explain why they were wrong. But Politico’s story lavishly applied the passive voice (“prices were expected to climb”), obscuring who was wrong, generously giving unreliable experts a pass. Oh well.

From Shadow Stat Alternate Inflation Charts

….The CPI-U (consumer price index) is the broadest measure of consumer price inflation for goods and services published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). 

While the headline number usually is the seasonally-adjusted month-to-month change, the formal CPI is reported on a not-seasonally-adjusted basis, with annual inflation measured in terms of year-to-year percent change in the price index.

In the charts to the right we show two SGS-Alternate CPI estimates: One based on the pre-1990 official methodology for computing the CPI-U, and the other based on the methodology which was employed prior to 1980.

Please note:  Our Data Download is currently only providing the 1980-Based numbers, but 1990-Based numbers will be introduced shortly.

Childers does a great job in describing what we know and don’t know about it, in easy-to-understand language.

Do yourself a favor and read it!

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

Were there canals in ancient Egypt?

Did ancient Egypt use canals?

Archaeological evidence for canal use is shown at many sites throughout Egypt including places such as the Giza plateau and where the Suez canal is today. The earliest written record of canal digging comes from about 3,100 BC…

Is it true that the pharaohs had a canal built?

Its origins date back to ancient Egypt.

The Egyptian Pharaoh Senusret III may have built an early canal connecting the Red Sea and the Nile River around 1850 B.C., and according to ancient sources, the Pharaoh Necho II and the Persian conqueror Darius both began and then abandoned work on a similar project.

What ancient civilization used canals?

Ancient Egypt

The Nile River, the lifeblood of Egypt, was utilized to create an extensive canal system for irrigation, transportation, and defense purposes. Notable canal features within ancient Egypt include: The construction of the “”Canal of the Pharaohs,”” connecting the Nile River to the Red Sea….


WIKI: Canal of the Pharaohs

At least as far back as Aristotle there have been suggestions that perhaps as early as the 12th Dynasty, Pharaoh Senusret III (1878–1839 BC), called Sesostris by the Greeks, may have started a canal joining the River Nile with the Red Sea. In his Meteorology, Aristotle wrote:

One of their kings tried to make a canal to it (for it would have been of no little advantage to them for the whole region to have become navigable; Sesostris is said to have been the first of the ancient kings to try), but he found that the sea was higher than the land. So he first, and Darius afterwards, stopped making the canal, lest the sea should mix with the river water and spoil it. [10]

Strabo also wrote that Sesostris started to build a canal, as did Pliny the Elder (see quote further down).[11]

However, the canal was probably first cut or at least begun by Necho II (r. 610–595 BC), in the late 7th century BC, and it was either re-dug or possibly completed by Darius the Great (r. 550–486 BC). Classical sources disagree as to when it was finally completed….


Canal of the Pharaohs: The Forerunner to The Suez Canal


…According to Greek historians Strabo and Diodorus Siculus, after Sesostris, work on the canal was continued by Necho II in the late 6th century BC, but he did not live to see the canal completed. Later, Darius the Great picked up from where Necho II left, but like Sesostris, he too stopped short of the Red Sea when he was informed that the Red Sea was at a higher level and would submerge the land if an opening was made. It was finally Ptolemy II who finished the canal connecting Nile with the Red Sea. According to Strabo the canal was nearly 50 meters wide and of sufficient depth to float large ships. It began at the village of Phacusa and traversed the Bitter Lakes, emptying into the Gulf or Arabia near the the city of Cleopatris…


So the idea of a canal linking the Mediterranean to the Gulf of Suez and the Red Sea has been active since ancient times.


Wiki’s:  Suez Canal  give a history of the various attempts, successes, abandonment and retries over the centuries.


…It was re-excavated by Roman emperor Trajan in the first century AD… A geography treatise De Mensura Orbis Terrae written by the Irish monk Dicuil (born late 8th century) reports a conversation with another monk, Fidelis, who had sailed on the canal from the Nile to the Red Sea during a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in the first half of the 8th century… During the 16th century, the Ottoman’s made another try but it was too expensive… in late 1798, Napoleon expressed interest in finding the remnants of an ancient waterway passage…. Napoleon contemplated the construction of a north–south canal to connect the Mediterranean with the Red Sea. By avoiding the silt-laden Nile, such a canal would be easier to maintain. But the plan was abandoned because of the erroneous belief that the Red Sea was 8.5 m (28 ft) higher than the Mediterranean…. As late as 1861, the unnavigable ancient route discovered by Napoleon from Bubastis to the Red Sea still channelled water as far east as Kassassin…

At this point Wiki gets into the historic period of interest.

INTERIM PERIOD

Despite the construction challenges that could have been the result of the alleged difference in sea levels, the idea of finding a shorter route to the east remained alive. In 1830, General Francis Chesney submitted a report to the British government that stated that there was no difference in elevation and that the Suez Canal was feasible, but his report received no further attention. Lieutenant Waghorn established his “Overland Route”, which transported post and passengers to India via Egypt

 The usefulness of this route for the British Empire was shown when dealing with the Indian Rebellion of 1857, with 5,000 British troops having passed through Egypt….

CONSTRUCTION

The British government had opposed the project from the outset to its completion. The British, who controlled both the Cape route and the Overland route to India and the Far East, favored the status quo, given that a canal might disrupt their commercial and maritime supremacy. 👉Lord Palmerston, the project’s most unwavering foe, confessed in the mid-1850s the real motive behind his opposition: that Britain’s commercial and maritime relations would be overthrown by the opening of a new route, open to all nations, and thus deprive his country of its present exclusive advantages.👈 As one of the diplomatic moves against the project when it nevertheless went ahead, it disapproved of the use of “forced labour” for construction of the canal. Involuntary labour on the project ceased, and the viceroy condemned the corvée, halting the project.

International opinion was initially skeptical, and shares of the Suez Canal Company did not sell well overseas. Britain, Austria, and Russia did not buy a significant number of shares. With assistance from the Cattaui banking family, and their relationship with James de Rothschild of the French House of Rothschild bonds and shares were successfully promoted in France and other parts of Europe….

The canal opened under French control in November 1869….

The canal had an immediate and dramatic effect on world trade. Combined with the American transcontinental railroad completed six months earlier, it allowed the world to be circled in record time. It played an important role in increasing European colonization of Africa.

The construction of the canal was one of the reasons for the Panic of 1873 in Great Britain, because goods from the Far East had, until then, been carried in sailing vessels around the Cape of Good Hope and stored in British warehouses.

An inability to pay his bank debts led Said Pasha’s successor, Isma’il Pasha, in 1875 [right after the end of the US Civil War when American Cotton became available again and depressed the price paid by Britian for cotton] to sell his 44% share in the canal for £4,000,000 ($19.2 million), equivalent to £432 million to £456 million ($540 million to $570 million) in 2019, to the government of the United Kingdom. [Actually the House of Rothschild] French shareholders still held the majority. Local unrest caused the British to invade in 1882 and take full control, although nominally Egypt remained part of the Ottoman Empire.

The British representative from 1883 to 1907 was Evelyn Baring, 1st Earl of Cromer, who reorganized and modernized the government and suppressed rebellions and corruption, thereby facilitating increased traffic on the canal….

At this point I am going to jump to a site in the UK.

The site is run by Stephen Luscombe a UK teacher who taught in France, the Middle East and Japan. He says:

First of all, I would like to make it clear that this site is not a rigorous academic site. I am sure there are plenty of mistakes and oversights on my part; for which I apologise in advance. My interest in the subject is purely that of a personal journey of discovery; to give myself a reason to research what I regard as a fascinating subject. Link

Egypt & The British Empire

rade links had existed between the two countries for as long as anyone could remember. Egypt was a key part of the old spice and trade routes between Europe and Asia. British traders had been loading and unloading their cargoes in Ottoman waters for generations.

British military and political interest in Egypt first manifested itself as it became obvious that in the Eighteenth Century, India was falling under the influence of Britain (and away from France). Despite, the direct sail routes around the Cape of Good Hope, Egypt still provided the quickest way of maintaining communications between Britain and and India. It required a brief overland journey, but it was still substantially quicker than circumnavigating Africa. India. It required a brief overland journey, but it was still substantially quicker than circumnavigating Africa….

He then goes into Napoleon attempted grab, the rise of the Egyptian leader, Muhammed Ali and the Brits & Ottomans defeat of this Egyptian leader. This is followed by the French involvement and the building of the canal.

…It was the French who were thought to be the most active in the North Africa region. They funded the Suez Canal and steadily increased their economic base in the country. British interest in Egypt developed during the American Civil War. At this time, British mills were starved of cotton. Alternative sources had to be found and one such source was to be Egypt whose cotton was actually a particularly good quality product. British companies began investing heavily in the production of cotton in Egypt. The hugely ambitious public works programs of the ruling Khedives also attracted British businessmen and their wares. Although, Egypt’s inability to pay for these modern conveniences was not yet thought to be a barrier to trade.

British strategic interest in Egypt was captured in 1869 when the Suez Canal was officially opened. The sailing times from London to Bombay were dramatically cut. British maps and ideas of the world had to be radically altered. The fact that the canal was controlled by the Khedive and the French government was initially a serious concern to the British. Although, It is from this point on that British decisiveness and speed of actions which consistently outwitted and out-manouevered the French and brought Egypt under Imperial British control. The first opportunity to pull away from the French was in 1875 when it became obvious that the Khedive had got himself into serious economic difficulties. The only way he could stave off creditors was by raising a seriously large amount of money. It was at this point that Disraeli was able to step in and offer to buy the Khedive’s shares in the Suez Canal Company. The speed of action on this event left the French reeling. Overnight, the British went from being a minority shareholder to being the controlling shareholder. Her influence had grown considerably as a result…

In only a few years the Egyptian government was again in economic difficulties. This time, the British and French governments initiated a stewardship of the finances of Egypt. In effect, this stewardship was little more than a joint form of colonization. British and French experts were to be sent to the various ministries in order to take control of day to day business of them. The Khedive’s unwillingness to agree to such loss of control was rewarded by his forced abdication and replacement by his son Tawfiq. The steady loss of sovereignty was keenly felt by many Egyptians. So much so that in 1882, Arabi Pasha initiated a revolt from inside the Egyptian army. In June of that year, riots broke out against the Europeans in Egypt. From this point on Britain took the initiative. The French refused participation in a bombardment of Alexandria due to political problems back at home. Surprisingly for a Liberal government, The British finally resolved on intervention and sent an expeditionary force to the Suez Canal. The Arabists were rapidly defeated at Tel el-Kabir in September and Cairo was occupied the next day. Accidentally, the British had found themselves to be masters of Egypt….

ative Council was suspended. After the Ottomans declared war on the allies on October 29th 1914, the British moved swiftly to break the technical link between the Ottoman Empire and the status of Egypt. The fate of the Suez Canal was just too important to take any chances and technically it was in enemy territory if Egypt was indeed a suzerain of Turkey. Indeed, Britain declared that the Canal was closed to all but allied and neutral shipping – despite international agreements to the contrary. Additionally, they deposed the Turcophile Khedive Abbas (who happened to be in Turkey at the time of their declaration of war) and created the new title of Sultan of Egypt on 19 December 1914 and engineered the pro-British Hussein Kamel to ascend the new position. The newly created Sultanate of Egypt was declared a British Protectorate rather than colony meaning that its people were subject of the Sultan rather than of King George. Hussein Kamel’s accession brought to an end the de jure Ottoman sovereignty over Egypt. But when Great Britain proclaimed this protectorate over Egypt in 1914, Saad Zaghlul’s benign attitude towards British rule changed fundamentally. The proclamation of the British protectorate united many of the different opposition groups in Egypt, and would become the starting point for Zaghlul’s new nationalism after the war.

The post-war international climate saw an increase in ideas of self-rule and independence – partly inspired by talk of Wilson’s 14 points, but also by a surge in national identities brought about by the war. Egypt’s nationalists, temporarily, saw how the rest of the Ottoman Empire was being divided up and wanted to be granted similar rights. Within days of the armistice Saad Zaghlul, the unofficial leader of Egyptian nationalism, headed to the British High Commissioner in Egypt, Sir Reginald Wingate, and informed him that the Egyptian people wanted their complete independence and that he would like to lead his delegation to London to negotiate with the British government.

The British government initially refused mindful of the continued importance of Egypt as a strategic concern. They did relent to say that they would meet with the Egyptian Prime Minister, but sensing the change in nationalist sentiment in his country, he not only refused but resigned. Saad Zaghlul called for a nationwide revolt. However, as martial law had not yet been rescinded, the authorities used their extensive powers to arrest Saad Zaghlul and deport him to Malta. This further inflamed nationalist sentiment and escalated into the 1919 revolution.

Riots broke out and Lord Allenby and Milner [of the Miner Round Tables -GC] were despatched from Britain to try and ascertain what to do next. They quickly came to the conclusion that it was better to grant independence to pro-British Egyptians rather than wait for nationalists to take power for themselves. Saad Zaghlul was released and allowed to return from Malta much to the joy of many Egyptians. However, negotiations over granting independence whilst still maintaining British troops in key positions, especially with regards to the Suez Canal, dragged on for two more years. Saad Zaghlul was once more sent into exile to the Seychelles, yet in reality both Allenby and Milner were of a like mind and resented the fact that it was politicians back in London who were delaying the inevitable. Eventually, it was Allenby who threatened to resign if independence were not granted. Lloyd George finally capitulated and agreed…

1920-30s

the newly installed King Fuad resented the constitutional challenges from the Egyptian Parliament and oscillated between undermining its power and having to turn back to Parliament to raise money. This lack of political stability in Egypt undermined its own influence. However, the Italian invasion of Abyssinia in 1935 concentrated minds and a renewed negotiation with Britain finally bore fruit with a new Treaty in 1936.

The treaty, under which Britain still retained a prominent if diminished influence, was to run for 20 years; both parties were committed to negotiating a further alliance in 1956, at which point Egypt would have the right to submit to third-party judgement the question of whether British troops were any longer necessary in Egypt. The British occupation of Egypt was formally ended, though British troops were to remain in some areas. As Egypt’s self-defence capability improved, they would be withdrawn gradually to the Canal Zone and Sinai where their numbers would be limited to 10,000. And Britain reserved the right of reoccupation with the unrestricted use of Egyptian ports, airports and roads in war-time…..

Although this is a favorable view of the History of the British Empire as expected from a British school teacher, it is very helpful since he has a column on the right with a timeline and with links to other articles.

Unfortunately, my free time has been drastically shortened so I will leave it to people to delve into this history of Egypt as they wish. I will be looking at the more recent history next week since it is critical to understanding the Middle East of today.
