A Century Of War

Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order

So what is it all about, this War On Terror?

What are the plans and goals of western politics in the Middle East?


Author of the book A Century Of War mister F. William Engdahl wrote some really nice mind opening words. Engdahl summarizes the horrors of the 20th Century, including two World Wars, a stock market crash and subsequent depression, the rise of Hitler, the formation of the Seven Sisters oil cartel, the Green movement, the slowdown of industrial growth, the bankrupting of the Third World, and much more.


We start with this book because it explicitly defines the mechanics behind the major disruptions which have impacted us all during this last century. These events include World War I, the 1929 stock market crash and subsequent depression, the rise of Hitler and the subsequent World War II, the Marshall Plan and subsequent never-ending "foreign aid," the Vietnamese War and LBJ's Great Society, followed in quick order by Nixon's separation of the dollar from gold and the 1974 "Oil Shock," the creation of the massive Third World debt, the buildup of the massive U.S. national debt in the 1980's, and last but not least, George Bush's Gulf War. Omitting Mr. Engdahl's documentation and his gentle entry into his subject, he lays out the following picture:

The wars and other horrors listed above were derived from Great Britain's secret strategies to control gold, the seas, and the world's raw materials, most particularly including, after the turn of the century, petroleum, the new "black gold" which enabled modern warfare to be waged. In the several decades prior to World War I, the furtherance of this basic policy was in the hands of Cecil Rhodes, Alfred Lord Milner, and others, who formed a secret group called the "Round Table." This group, as recorded in its own writings, was specifically anti-German and pro-Empire.It viewed the economic strengthening of Germany in the late 1800's with alarm, and the German effort after the turn of the century to build a Baghdad-to-Berlin railway as a direct military threat, since it would provide direct German access to the Middle East's oil fields, bypassing the sea routes controlled by the British. Britain had earlier sealed off extension of the railway to the Persian Gulf by the forcible establishment of Kuwait as a "British Protectorate" to be run by the Sabah family, as at present, preventing future Central European (i.e., German) access to the southern oceans. The last northern link of the railway, also of concern, was in Serbia. But before that link could be finished, the Austrian heir-apparent was assassinated by a Serb, to which Austria responded, starting World War I by bringing in Germany, France and Russia by treaty with either Serbia or Austria, and also Britain, via a secret treaty which it had signed with France only three months before the assassination.

The war produced between 16 and 20 million deaths, mostly civilians, including a half-million British deaths. Germany was successfully cut off from Russian and Middle-Eastern oil, and the war was essentially won with Rockefeller oil from America. Following the war, Britain and France carved up the Middle East (by prior secret wartime agreement), Britain obtaining "protectorate" status over Palestine (Israel) and the important oil-producing areas, especially Iraq. Their protectorate over Palestine set the stage for their planned later creation in that area of a Jewish homeland, which intent was proclaimed to British Zionists in a letter from Britain's Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Walter Lord Rothschild, representing the English Federation of Zionists. The letter became known as the Balfour Declaration, which was not implemented until after World War 2. The British intent was to project their control into the oil-laden Middle East by creating a Jewish-dominated Palestine, beholden to Britain for survival, and surrounded by a pack of squabbling, balkanized Arab states.

And this is how the Empire really works. The Western corporativism at its best. All wars in Middle East that we see today and we saw yesterday are a bi-product of these Stupid White Men, that want the world for themselves. They came to this area and started to divide and conquer, started to fragmentize and started to create protectorats such as Palestine. Anglo-American politics are directly responsible for all the Middle East conflicts after WW2. They are directly responsible for birth of International Terrorism, they are directly responsible for the huge and poor area known as the Third World.

They created their own stage here and put their own players in the game. And THAT is how the world REALLY works.

Now, a "brief" timeline of important dates in the history of anglo-american oil politics (not counting war in Iraq today, because the author only goes to the year 1991), for all of us to see, how far and how DEEP this really goes:

So after a Century of War nothing really changes. There are still wars going on and there are still people making alot of money with that. There are still people dying in this wars and there are still people planning more of these wars. Dont you think its time to STOP THEM and CHANGE THAT? Or are you happy just the way it is? Happy with the blind War On Terror, happy with the fact that notorious Saddam Hussen is arrested, happy with the fact that every day in DR Congo there are 3000 people killed, happy with the fact that Africa is Dying Slowly?

If not, please, WAKE UP!

It's the way it has to be. You want no more war? It's take uniformity to achieve that and we will still have wars two centuries from now. It is geopolitical engineering. If eventually we can convert all the cultures of the world to the same ideals of democracy then in the long-run peace will prevail because of war.

great post souljah but in the immortal words of Bob Marley from a speech by Haile Selassie

Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
And another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned -
Everywhere is war -
Me say war.

That until there no longer
First class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes -
Me say war.

That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all,
Without regard to race -
Dis a war.

That until that day
The dream of lasting peace,
World citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
But never attained -
Now everywhere is war - war.

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
That hold our brothers in angola,
In mozambique,
South africa
Sub-human bondage
Have been toppled,
Utterly destroyed -
Well, everywhere is war -
Me say war.

War in the east,
War in the west,
War up north,
War down south -
War - war -
Rumours of war.
And until that day,
The african continent
Will not know peace,
We africans will fight - we find it necessary -
And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory

Of good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah! /fadeout/

All you have to do is change the names of some of the countries in the song and it still applies to circumstances today, unfortunately my friend the more I live, the more I see that peace in the world is not something that I will behold in my lifetime.

war (huh) what is it good for ?


thinning the heard. if there was no war, we'd have riots on the streets of people begging for bread. pick your poison.

war goes back to neandertal vs cro-magnon man.

Its who we are.

tribe vs tribe, village vs village, knight vs knight, state vs state, nation vs nation....

Now what kind of answer is that?

No, its the way we were always thought that this REALLY Is the way it has to be?

Yes its geopolitical engineering. But its the tool of the Strong against the Weak. And wars were always a tool of the Empire. Today's Empires are Corporations, that rule entire world goverments. Especially OIL and WEAPON corporations. They are ruling this planet. Not presidents. Not goverments. Not the People of this planet. They decide who is better and who is not. They decide who gets to live and who gets to die tonight.

yeah real nobel of you, the scary part is that about half of your fellow countrymen thinks like you, icluding your knight in shining armour dumbya the conqueror.

quess most people didnt evolve after all..

Buy some public corporate stock (oil and banking seem good) and join the club as a part owner - whatchya waitin for..!!

Ouch! low-blow, how about offering a different perspective? The theory I am speaking of is nothing new and has been pondered by many people.

If Alexander The Great hadn't conquered the lands he conquered, would the age of Hellenistic Greece have evolved & would we be at the present dilemma if Alexander had not waged war?

If the Confederacy had won, would Hitler have ruled the Earth? If Gavrilo Princip hadn't assassinated Franz Ferdinand would WWI have happened anyways?

These questions my friend may never be answered. Today is not WWIII, but terrorism could be the spark which ignites the starting engine. It already has ignited it some would say, but I do not believe that.

War is the only way. Do you think embracing a terrorist to your bosum and whispering sweet lullaby's is going to change them? The answer is no. War is the only way. Terrorism is not a political conspiracy, an idea, or anything you think you know.

War will continue to be the only way. There is a greater purpose for war, for economic gain, technology gain, tactical gain, strategic gain, etc. War is the answer for now. The reason war is the answer for now is because there is no other way, and unfortunately you snotty mocha sipping pretentious intellectual wannabe's can not figure that out. Perhaps it is because you've never held a person dieing from a AK-47 Assault Rifle in Afghanistan or seen pre-war Afghanistan when the Taliban were raping women and children. I wrote to the United Nations before the war about the tragedy there, and there was never a response from the U.N.

Sadly, you are influenced by media & corporate interests. Where I am influenced by first hand knowledge of what is & has happened. War is the only path towards peace. In the long-run, perhaps a century from now the world will have peace because of war and history will decide who was right and who was wrong. As for now, I know what history will decide.

I guess we should wage war like proper gentlemen, huh? Line up in formation and fire one shot at a time in uniform manner.

Maybe you should consider enrolling in a college somewhere.



By the way, I voted Kerry and I believe in evolution. You should read the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, maybe that will cure your bleeding liberal heart. Oh wait, you;ve probably already read his works since your SUCH AN INTELLECTUAL!

War is the only way WE KNOW.

War is the only way WE LEARNED.

But war is not the ONLY WAY.

War is the Tool of the Conqueror.

War is the Fuel of the Empire.

War is Money.

Yes I agree that wars always bring also economical, technological gain. But they are counter-products of researching more deadlier killing machines. Wars have done more Bad than Good. I agree that they are necessary evil sometimes and we cant aviod them in order to have Peace. But Men have always waged war. That is our Human History = A History Of War. And after two MAJOR CONFLICTS that proved what kind of tragedy a World War is, White Men still want to gamble? They still want to play poker one last time? Sure, Wars bring Peace. But in a world today, where Security is balanced by the number of nuclear warheads in your ARSenal, I belive that another major conflict could be a VERY destructive one.

And there is ALWAYS another WAY!

Sadly, you are influenced by media & corporate interests. Where I am influenced by first hand knowledge of what is & has happened. War is the only path towards peace. In the long-run, perhaps a century from now the world will have peace because of war and history will decide who was right and who was wrong. As for now, I know what history will decide.

In absence of War there is Peace.

War is not the ONLY path towards Peace.

I agree that history will decide, and I maybe we will see that happen.

But, supporting the current war, fueling the fire is not a very smart thing to do. World is a very dangerous place today, nothing like it was a century ago.

supporting whosever war either between Al Qaeda or America or other wars dont matter, its whats in our nature, we eat because we eat, we drink because we drink we go to war because we go to war.

Sadly that is our History. A history of destruction. A history of war.

You say its in our Nature. I agre.

But its also in our Nature to Create, not just Destroy.

And its also in our Nature to Love not just to Hate.

Wars breed Hate and they bring Destruction.

So what was so Good about them again?


"War is delightful to those who have not experienced it."
Erasmus

You sound so SURE and DEDICATED to War?

Have you ever been in a War?

Have you seen it? The Face of War?

I have. Its the face of a crying Mother of a nameless Child.


Wars today are all about Money.

Poor People fighting the Rich Man's War.

The lawyer's jest, the hired assassin's trade."

[edit on 22/3/05 by Souljah]

agree you on nature to create

Well consider the rewards and punishments of our current social structure, say whistle blowers get dismissed in mass by the Bush White House. So every wrong committed and every instance of fraud, waste, and abuse gets a free pass.

Consider such things to be a structural defect, where problems continue ad infinitum, where theft makes officialdom into a kleptocracy. War is no exception, since it is an extremely anti-social activity justified in our minds as "necessary." The real fact of it is that agents provocateur have in every instance created the conditions for such wars to proceed. It is a matter of competing mafias, a very few people who use ordinary people like kleenex, and toss you in the rubbish when they are done with the extreme profiteering.

This kind of anti-civilization is rigged, because when the day is done, can any of these people really enjoy their wealth even in what they think is their closed world?

Protest does nothing when a free press is not operating and creating particles of information which by the way, form your very mind and consciousness. There is no prevailing consensus other than what has become a mindless rush into more anti-civilization. You can tell that a fish rots from the head down, and therefore who is in power in a certain critical mass from time to time during our historical analysis.

A 100 year war projects a lock down dictatorship of war, complete command and control, where alternative futures have been totally limited to war without any preventive scenarios. It is stratification of the future into a hellish vision, a pattern of moral, political, and social bankruptcy in every way, shape and form. Natually the illusion of peace will be projected in such a system from time to time, but it is far too much a con job, another "breathing space," until the next dunking into a hellish system.

Great post mister SkipShipman!



Thank you for your contribution to this thread.

I have a feeling that Peace is most of the time being used for refueling, rearming and regrouping the army.

Like watching twelve rounds of a boxing match, and Peace is just that minute of pause between the two rounds.

Then, the bells rings and game on!

Very good point. Very true.....................In my opinion war is because people in powerful positions are not throughly examined to be qualified for their positions. If the people of Congress and other government "heads" were throughly examined psychologically than we might not have these type of problems. If the CEO's of Fortune 500 companies must take psychological examinations than why shouldn't all foreign leaders undergo them to qualify to lead?
The problem with the world is powerful people with sociopathic minds.
