Above, we see Kaiser Wilhelm II and below, the “big” 4. George, Orlando, Clemenceau and Wilson.
After the war, it was easy to blame the emperor for the will to war – with his bombastic nature and his fondness for uniforms of all kinds, in contrast to the likeable elderly gentlemen who had only one thing in mind, “the best for humanity.” – How easily one can be misled.
As seen here in Munich, demonstrations against the Versailles dictates took place during 1919 in all major German cities.
“During the Versailles negotiations, a new institution was established to regulate common Anglo-American strategic interests. Lionel Curtis, who had long been a member of the Round- Table group and the ‘Informal Empire’ circle around Balfour, Milner, Mackinder and others, proposed the founding of the Royal Institute of International Affairs, on 30 May 1919 at a private party at the Hotel Majestic… This institute was to be the first to write the ‘official’ history of the Versailles peace negotiations. For this purpose, an amount of 2000 pounds sterling was transferred as starting capital by Thomas W. Lamont from the Morgan Bank.
The circle, that had gathered at the Hotel Majestic in Versailles, also decided to establish an American branch of the institute in New York. It was calld the Council on Foreign Relations to hide the close connection with the British institute.” ( F.William Engdahl. A Century of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order.)
In South-West Africa and other seized German colonies, our friends were also able to help themselves to large chunks. Here is a small example of how this was engineered.
In April 1914, the future Diamond King Ernest Oppenheimer visited the diamond fields of his greatest competitor August Stauch in Kolmanskuppe. As early as June 1914, the two met at the London Diamond Syndicate to discuss “common interests”. In August the war broke out, Oppenheimer was already back in Kimberley, Stauch was stuck in Germany. In September, British warships bombed Swakopmund and the population had to be evacuated. In March 1915, Oppenheimer mobilized a private force of 530 men from his mining empire in Kimberley to take part in the campaign on South West Africa. This move was richly rewarded, as we know. Not only did he gain control of the confiscated South West African diamond fields, but in 1917, with the help of funds from the usual money-barons in London, founded the Anglo-American Corporation. Not only that, he was also elevated to knighthood. Later he controlled the global De Beers Diamond Cartel, with all known side effects. No one should say, “It’s not worth waging war.” Sir Ernest Oppenheimer proved how lucrative this can be while being celebrated as a philanthropist at the same time.
The historian Sir Christopher Clark was also knighted for his contribution toward German-English understanding. In 2012, he published the book, “The Sleepwalkers”. – The responsible politicians before the war marched like sleepwalkers into the conflict, according to his story.
The “Sir” appendage is a decidedly wonderful thing, prestigious for the recipient and cheap for the noble donor. David Irving, who had a less respectful approach towards the establishment, who disected the icon W. Churchill into his various fragments (Churchill’s War), did not receive this honor. Those who play along will be rewarded, those who resist will feel the power of the mobsters or will be silenced. Deborah Lipstadt and a young British judge who knew exactly; “If I pass the wrong judgement here, my career is over,” demonstrated the inner workings of the process. (Irving v Lipstadt. 1996 – 2000.)
“The restoration of the former state of affairs, would therefore also have meant the return of the German overseas possessions. In order to prevent this, the Germans had to be denied the moral right to act as a colonial power. In Paris and London examples of German inhumanity in the colonies were eagerly collected, which were extensively supplemented with inventions and rumours. And the propaganda poison did not fail to have an effect on the US President, who, at the beginning of the negotiations also made the desired statement:- ‘It is one of the most embarrassing revelations of recent years that the great power that was just fortuitously beaten, burdened an injustices on the helpless peoples in some of their colonies,… instead of winning the trust of the native peoples and raising them to the next higher stage of development. Now the conscience of the whole world speaks through the law and says: – This must end!’ -” (Black-White-Red in Africa.) German quality media are parroting the story to this day.
Thus spoke the conscience of humanity, representative of the nation which, only a few years earlier, had completed the barbaric genocide in the Philippines (200 000 to 3 000 000 victims, depending on the source) and whose two predecessors we should investigate briefly.
