A brief guide to how the world is governed

”I admit that nations are pawns on a chessboard where a game of world domination is taking place.” With these words, Lord Curzon summarized what is really happening as early as 1898.

Homo sapiens, which means the ”knowing human,” is a creature that usually seeks meaning and context in life that gives a sense of purpose. However, the more complex the environment she finds herself in, the higher the demands on her ability to sort out and filter out what is less important for her physical and mental well-being. The brain of this unique hominid works according to an economic principle; by categorizing and systematizing, she gains some control over her surroundings, which, in turn, gives her a sense of security.

Since most people today are often stressed by the demands, expectations, and bombardment of impressions in modern society, it is only natural that they usually do not have the time, energy, or desire to delve more deeply into the mechanisms that have shaped and continue to shape their environment, especially on a global scale. People are generally limited to the worldview presented through radio, TV, and newspapers and then try to create an understanding of the context based on this.

Since the conclusions we draw and the decisions we make are never better than the information they are based on, the mere idea that the world would not function as we have been presented with is usually both ridiculous and absurd. The notion that those who truly wield power in the world are not the politicians who flutter about and make solemn speeches from a teleprompter, promising to solve our problems, but instead individuals who possess capital and the power to control as they wish, seems equally unlikely.

The idea that they operate without being seen and instead wield power through suborganizations like Bilderberg, Council on Foreign Relations, Royal Institute of International Affairs, Club of Rome, and the Trilateral Commission also appears baffling. Elite societies that, in turn, consist of hierarchically organized groups where those at the bottom of the pyramid are not privy to what is planned at the top but act as administrative officials who delegate issues further to be put into practice by the parrots called politicians.

The origin of this system can be traced back to more recent times during the 1800s, but its roots go much further back. We will take a closer look at how it arose and how the elitists behind it have gone about shaping the world in a way that benefits themselves but is often unfavorable for the vast majority. During this journey, you will learn the names of some of the masterminds behind what would transform the 20th century into the bloodiest in history and how they have planned and guided history up to today. But first, let’s delve into some background history:

Ever since the dawn of civilization, there have always been people who felt inclined to lead others, and there is nothing unusual about this because it is natural and common for some to lead and show the way through their knowledge and organizational skills. The problem arose when some of these aspiring leaders turned out to lack a very fundamental and important trait, namely a conscience. It was precisely these types, which I usually refer to as pragmatic psychopaths, who often came to dominate the leadership and the shaping of the different cultures that eventually emerged. The challenge was to do it cleverly to maintain their position.

About 6,000 years ago, the Sumerians created what is usually called the first advanced cultures. The efficiency of agriculture led to a significant surplus production, and since surplus required storage, some form of accounting was needed. This led to a system of hierarchies and cities where leaders began to coordinate people’s work in larger units and could live off the labor of others without contributing to production themselves. The elite had a brilliant idea to expand livestock management to encompass humans, and thus, slavery was born.

To make this system work, it was necessary for the current group to submit to and accept being ruled by leaders who enjoyed special privileges. People are difficult to control if they are not afraid, so the elite’s ingenious solution was to refer to the will and wrath of the gods if people did not listen to their chosen representatives. With the help of various high priests, they created techniques to control people through myths, omens, and oracles (which are now replaced with TV, radio, and newspapers), as well as various armies.

Alexander the Great’s empire stretched from Athens in the west to India in the east. The Roman Empire encompassed almost all of Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, with an area of up to four million square kilometers. The Mongol Empire covered most of Asia and large parts of Eastern Europe, with an area of 33 million square kilometers and a population of nearly 100 million people. Spain, Portugal, and Russia have also had large empires, but with a maximum size of 33.67 million square kilometers and a population of 532 million, the British Empire is the most powerful the world has ever seen. Countless people died, and it would get worse.

The British Empire had its beginning in 1066 after the Battle of Hastings, where William of Normandy defeated King Harold II and the Saxons. Afterwards, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland were incorporated into the empire. By the year 1100, the kingdoms of England and Scotland were founded, and in 1588, Spain was defeated, allowing the British to expand into the New World. The ability of the English to dominate the seas and their technological advantage, especially during the Industrial Revolution in the 1800s, were the primary reasons for their success.

While a small group lived comfortably, life for the masses was mostly miserable. Over time, a counter-movement to the system emerged, and the sharpest mind for it was Karl Marx, who authored communism. It would later prove to be an essential tool in the elite’s strategy to derive a third phase called the New World Order from the dialectical plan of playing two powerful power blocks against each other, which originated in the philosopher Hegel’s idea of the synthesis arising from the thesis-antithesis-synthesis.

In other words, the struggle between communism and capitalism was to lead to a third phase, called the New World Order, a system suitable for the world’s inhabitants, most of whom, according to them, consist of useless eaters, with the rest being ”livestock” or wage slaves. This meant that a sophisticated version of the old tradition of ”divide and conquer” was developed to ensure that both sides in conflicts were controlled and that people were frightened by pitting them against each other.

In February 1891, Cecil Rhodes, a British racist and imperialist who quickly became a multi-millionaire by seizing diamond deposits in South Africa after being sponsored by N.M. Rothschild and Sons, convened a meeting in London with Reginald Brett, an advisor to Queen Victoria, and William Stead, the most powerful journalist of his time. Later, the politician Alfred Milner, Lord Roseberry, Curzon, and future Prime Minister Arthur Balfour, among others, joined.

The purpose was to develop strategies for how Britain could continue to take over and maintain control over the world’s natural resources and then implement the Anglo-Saxon lifestyle in the rest of the world. To carry out such a comprehensive, grandiose plan, it was absolutely necessary to have access to the intellectual elite and key positions in politics, economics, and mass media, and, not least, a ”warrior” who could do the dirty work. That became the United States, and an already quite strong influence and collaboration were now greatly expanded.

The elite’s own historian, Professor Carroll Quigley, wrote candidly about them in ”Tragedy & Hope” and ”The Anglo-American Establishment” and revealed that the 1891 meeting outlined the details for the secret society that agreed there would be an inner circle called ”The Society of the Elect” and an outer circle called ”The Association of Helpers.” The goals would be achieved through secret political, economic influences behind the scenes, as well as control of media, education, and propaganda institutions.

In 1907, the American diplomat Henry White met with Balfour, leader of the Conservative Party (Rhodes’ society) in England to discuss Germany. White was shocked when Balfour explained the necessity of provoking a war with Germany, saying, ”You are a broad-minded man in private; how can you even contemplate anything so politically immoral as provoking war against a harmless country? Do you want to compete? Work harder, perhaps.”

Balfour explained that war might be better, whereupon a horrified White said, ”I am shocked that you, of all people, express such opinions.” ”Is it a question of right or wrong? Maybe it is a matter of maintaining our power dominance,” Balfour coldly replied. Seven years later, Balfour’s wish was fulfilled, and much of Europe lay in ruins. Around the same time, the group ensured that Lenin, followed by Hitler and later Mao, were sponsored. (For more details, see my article series ”How the Oligarchs Fool the Masses” parts 7-10)

By 1914, the British had cracked the Germans’ codes and knew the locations of the submarines (Lusitania sinking in 1915). By 1940, the Americans had broken the Japanese codes and knew very well where they were heading (Pearl Harbor attack in 1941), and later, the US faked the attack in the Gulf of Tonkin in 1964. All of this was aimed at getting the US public on board with the wars. In the 1990s, discussions were held on how to motivate wars in the Middle East, starting with Afghanistan and then Iraq. Coincidentally, on September 11, 2001, the world’s largest and most efficient superpower was suddenly ”helpless” as four planes roamed around as they pleased for an extended period.

The rest is, as they say, history. However, not the history you read about in newspapers.
