Geopolitical initiatives, alliances overt and disguised, finance, trade, wars great, small and interminable are bewildering — if one follows the explanations proffered by major media and government spokespersons; this is what Orwell meant by “Newspeak.” Still, there is one character that makes sense of this scrambled alphabet, a key to the madness of a seemingly brain-damaged world: a war on the Jews.
To deflect demands and undermine efforts to rescue Jews from Europe during the Shoah, the British and American governments in January 1943 began referring to themselves and their few allies as the “United Nations” and emphasizing that one of the goals of the post-War world would be to punish those involved in “crimes against humanity”: as if to signal a trend, Jews rarely were mentioned as the major victims of such crimes. There were more demands from influential publications and people for a “world government” that would prevent war, a council of democracies that would work to promote democracy.
Some anomalies: Russia, run by a small and brutal oligarchy financed in no small part of American and British capital (and later weapons and food) was not only invited to the United Nations but onto its Security Council where it enjoyed, as one of the elite five, veto power over all and any resolutions. Russia’s oligarchy did, however, desire world government to enhance control of resources, just as did the Rockefeller and similar interests. As for preventing wars: from 1946-9 the Russians turned the nations of eastern Europe into colonies; the Arab states, none of them democracies attacked Israel with the avowed intention of finishing the holocaust which some of them now say never happened. “Israel is not a state and therefore cannot be invaded” said a Brit diplomat in a perfect demonstration of the Newspeak Orwell despised. And indeed, Israel was not a state prior to May 14, 1948 because the British Round Table – RIIA had decided that it would not be one and, when push came to shove, would not get commonwealth status, either. That was held for the Arab Federation now termed the New Middle East. Shimon Peres is perennial point person within Israeli government for this nightmare. (more…)
