0:00 good afternoon everyone welcome to another edition of gladio meeting secret societies with war hamster brady how are you doing today brady doing wonderful thank you see yourself i'm awesome yes you are all right we have a full show lined up today we do we do um thought we'd get through all the way through world war one today but we're not there's too much back
0:30 There's too much backstory. We've got to backfill a few things. So shall we jump in? Yes. When last we left off, we were looking at one of our favorite pilgrims, a guy by the name of Winston Churchill. And I posited in my theory right away that Victor's right to history, but his real history is a little bit different than what we were taught. Certainly one of the most pivotal men of the 20th century, but not always necessarily one of the greatest. And I think that's being a little bit generous.
1:01 But we'll get into that. So we got all the causes of World War I. We talk about Germany's economy is catching up to England's. We've got Germany worried about the massive Russian population to its east. We talk about how it wasn't until Prince Franz Ferdinand was shot. We talk about Germans building a railroad straight to Istanbul.
1:29 I'm going to start to take to Baghdad, the Berlin to Baghdad Railroad, which is going to threaten England's, you know, basically dominance of the sea lanes and the Suez Canal. And then we talk about the oil supply that was being discovered in Mesopotamia right around this time. So we've got a lot of economic reasons for this war to start. I left one out and I want to jump into that real quick because I think it's really important. And it's also interesting.
1:59 So if no further ado, may I share my screen? What you got here, as we all know, most of the European monarchs are related in one shape or the other. And as families normally go, they don't all get along too well. And certainly the case of this, where we're going to find the Kaiser Wilhelm II and Prince, sorry, my Prince is mixed up.
2:33 Prince King Edward, they were cousins who did not like each other at all. And that really comes to a head. So I want to get into that story a little bit. But we'll start with King Edward's mother, the great Queen Victoria, born 1819 through 1901. 1901 is an interesting year. What year did the pilgrims start? All kinds of stuff shot off in 1901, right? Oh, yeah.
3:01 So it's really interesting that's the year she died, and it did trigger a lot of things. So she's the Queen of the United Kingdom in Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 to 1901. That is the longest reign in history. It's known as the Victorian era. Wait, that's 63 years? Is that right? Yeah. This period is marked by a great expansion of the British Empire. So she starts out as Victoria. She's Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. And that Saxe-Coburg name,
3:34 Shows up in a lot of conspiracy theories and a lot of it's true. I mean, that's a family that their DNA is all over Europe. She would inherit the throne at age 18. She would then marry her first cousin, a guy by the name of Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, a different Saxe-Coburg, and I'll explain that in a second. They got married in 1840, I believe. I wrote 1940. That would be hard to do because she would have been dead for 39 years.
4:08 So Sax Gotha, you hear this name all the time, and it's S-A-X-E hyphen Gotha, G-O-T-H-A, Sax Covert. Anyway, Sax Gotha was a Saxon principality in what is now Germany. What happened was the Duke of Sax Gotha, Ernest the Pious, dies in 1675, and the principality gets split among his seven sons. And that's where all these Sax Gotha come from. So that's the back story on that from a really high level. They have a son.
4:40 Well, here's her husband. Very dapper young man, is he not? Absolutely. And they have a bunch of kids. One of them is King Edward VII. He's the second child and the oldest son of Victoria and Albert. Lives from 1841 to 1910. And, of course, he assumes the throne in 1901, and that matters.
5:06 His nickname growing up was Birdie, and I'm going to refer to him as Birdie sometimes because I can't remember all these different Edwards and Alberts and everything like that getting confused. So the heir apparent in England, he's called the Prince of Wales, and he was actually the Prince of Wales for almost 60 years waiting to take his throne. I think he got a little frustrated by then. Kind of like Prince Philip, right? Just about. I think Birdie beat him, didn't he, for 60 years?
5:39 I mean, but it is kind of funny that that is an analogy there, but go ahead. So he didn't just sit around twiddling his thumbs. He decided to basically he's excluded from political influence. So he basically becomes a playboy, globetrotting, traveling, gambling, drinking, fornicating. There's all kinds of stories about him in the French brothels where all kinds of sexual equipment.
6:09 He would have affairs with a ton of people. One affair he had was with Winston Churchill's mother. It's kind of interesting. But Edward was fluent in German, French, of course, English. And he conversed easily with all the leading statesmen across Europe.
6:34 And this is where he becomes close with something known as the Society of the Elect, their members. And we're going to get back to that in just a little bit. But keep that note that he, King Edward Bertie, is good friends with the big names there. And that matters because some of the Society of the Elect are going to obviously go on to become members of the Pilgrim Society, which is all about Anglo-American alliance. So that brings us to.
7:04 Kaiser Wilhelm II. These guys love their uniforms, don't they? Yes, they do. He is younger than Bertie. He was born in 1859 and lived in 1941. He's born Frederick Wilhelm Victor Albert. He's the eldest of Queen Victoria's 42 grandchildren. And she almost liked him. She's the least polite to him. Almost liked him. Yeah, well, it depends on whose story you read.
7:36 I read like three versions of it. I don't know which one's correct. So Bismarck, Autobahn, Autobahn, Bismarck unites Germany in 1871 under Kaiser Wilhelm's father. Kaiser Wilhelm ascends to the throne in 1888 and fires Bismarck within two years. He wants to embark Germany on what's called the new course. And that's basically we talked about last week to raise Germany to leading world power status.
8:07 They start acquiring territories in China and Pacific, which is interesting because Germany, being late to form as a nation, they were late to industrialize, were late to the entire game of empire. So they were trying to make up for lost time. Most of the good territories had been taken by the rest of the Europeans. We talked about last week how Germany's manufacturing grows.
8:37 very, very fast, and they become Europe's largest manufacturer, and they do the naval buildup. During all his travels, he had a really bad relationship with Bertie, who became Edward VII. Bertie would look down his nose, and I would treat him as a nephew and not necessarily as a reigning monarch, and Wilhelm didn't like that at all. There's some stories about how they had some kind of a boat race, and Wilhelm won.
9:08 talk some smack about it and edward actually punched him so victoria dies and things change birdie takes the throne and he's right there to usher in the new century and of course he decides we're going to modernize the british fleet right at the same time the steam turbine is invented other things going on at the turn of the centuries you got the rise of socialism that's something to do with the fabians right just a little bit
9:50 Like I said, the fact that these two don't like each other at all matters. There's bad blood pretty much starting around 1901, 1902. It is very clear that Germany and England are headed for a fight. Edward had a lifetime habit of smoking, like 20 cigarettes and 12 cigars a day. He got really bad bronchitis, and he would die in 1910. He was right in the middle of a constitutional crisis, and this kind of matters.
10:23 there's a big issue between the house of lords and the house of commons and had to do with taxation house of lords a lot of them were landowners they didn't want to pay property tax house of commons wanted them to and neither side could get anything done so they're at a stalemate so what they did is they did the parliamentary act of 1911 which restricted the power of the house of lords prior to that the only way to really settle these disagreements would be the monarchy would create a bunch of new peers
10:54 So they'd get more power in the House of Lords. People would move from Commons to the House of Lords. That's how they did that. All right. He dies in 1910. World War I hasn't started yet. Oops, I didn't get a picture of his son, did I? I forgot to get King George. King George V ascends the throne, and he would sit there from 1910 to 1936. He was the second son of Edward. His older brother had died in 1892.
11:24 And King George ends up marrying his brother's fiancee. It's a cute trick. They love the family. And it really does need to be reiterated. You're talking about a family fight here between Germany and because they're all related, as you said. Yeah. Before we took the throne, King George was the first Duke of York. He was also first cousins of, of course, Czar Nicholas II of Russia. Exactly what the colonel just said. They're all related.
11:57 And then, of course, Kaiser Wilhelm II, who we just talked about. At the end of this, the only real major royal family left in Europe is going to be the British crown. Yes. Tsar Nicholas would be assassinated by the Bolsheviks after King George refused him asylum in England. I am harbored women. Say again? Yes, yes. Yeah, that's a good point. We'll talk more about the Bolshevik Revolution as we get into World War I, because that's a big deal. And, of course,
12:31 Kaiser Wilhelm, after World War I, would spend the rest of his life exiled in the Netherlands. So really, this was a battle of, it was a Game of Thrones. Yes. 1917, King George V renames the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to the House of Windsor because of the anti-German sentiment during the war. So that's why you don't see the House of Saxe-Coburg anymore, but the House of Windsor is really Germanic. Correct. Not a lot of British to it.
13:03 No. Well, if you look at the whole history of the British impact on England, I mean, the Uconnatic Kingdom disappeared thousands of years ago. It became the Anglos, then the Saxons, and then, of course, we got the Norman influence, which is Normandy was actually now part of France. Yeah, it is another one of those illusions. Yeah. Anything in the chat?
13:37 Yeah, I got to go visit in the Netherlands one of these days. Met too many cool people from there. Yeah, I spent some time there. My cousin was stationed there at Schusterberg. In 1914, King George writes about the war. He said, it is a terrible catastrophe, but it is not our fault. Please, may God, will it be over soon. And this is a really important point because the victors write the histories.
14:10 And we've been told that, you know, if you listen to what happened to the Treaty of Versailles, it was 100% Germany's fault. They fired the first shot. But that's not the case, as we pointed out last week. And it's really clear at this point in time, even by 1914, that it's the British ministers that are running the government. And the monarchy is more just ceremonial already at this point. And World War I, how it was carried out, made that crystal, crystal clear. And a lot of those ministers...
14:42 came from places like the Pilgrim Society and the Society of the Elect, which is Cecil Rhodes' secret society. And I'm going to turn that over to the Colonel to give the outline of that. I've got a number of their key players. I've got quick bios on them. Do you want me to go through my list super quick and then you fill in the details? Well, I think we probably need to go back a little bit because when we were talking about the Fabians, we didn't really spend a little...
15:12 We didn't spend enough time on the Milner Group. We mentioned it. So let me give the background and then we will talk about the people. So in order to talk about the Society of the Elect, we need to, first of all, mention the Milner Group. And you guys know that as the Milner's Kindergarten, the Roundtable Group, the Rose Crowd, the Times Crowd.
15:39 and the All Souls group, which we mentioned earlier. It has also been referred to often as the Cliveden set because of the estate of Lady Astor, which is Cliveden. And they have some very nefarious things going on there. And most of it is really gross. So this is the entire thing. It is a semi-secret network of British elite dedicated to the preservation.
16:07 expansion and eventual federation or organic unity of the British Empire or what they referred to as the Commonwealth of Nations. And as we know, they view America as part of their Commonwealth. And that's the entire purpose of the Pilgrim Society, the Fabian Society and everything that we've talked about so far. And let me just point out everything she just said is laid out in Cecil Rhodes's will. And this is The Secret Society.
16:36 that he wanted when he had joined the Freemasons and said, OK, a secret society is a great idea, but you guys aren't doing diddly squat. We need a secret society with a mission. And he gave the mission and the funding to set up the Society of the Elect. So my next sentence and my prepared remarks, he describes it as originating in talking about Carol Quigley.
17:01 originating in Cecil Rhodes' vision and operating through concentric circles, an inter-society of the elect, and a broader subsidiary outer group called the Association of Helpers.
17:19 Quigley documented all of this in his publication called The Anglo-American Establishment, which he wrote in 1948, but weirdly enough, never got published until 1981. And that's very, very telling. They do not want people to understand how any of this works. I just want to reiterate Carol Quigley. He's a must read for historians.
17:46 And the reason he knew so much about this stuff, because he was one of them. Yes. And a lot of quickly gives you tons of good information. But you can always tell that he's keeping a few things back. And it's almost like he's rooting for them in some of it. He is one of them. As a historian, he is documenting the inner workings of the organization of which he's a part of. So what you have to understand is he's almost an apologist for them.
18:16 But that doesn't mean that his information is not deadly accurate in describing the inner workings of it. But you have to understand he is an apologist for it because he's part of it. That's my takeaway. No, 100% agreed. And it's an important point, though, understanding the motivation of the sources. But yeah, this book that I am reading right now, and I'm going to draw from that today, Two World Wars and Hitler, who was responsible.
18:48 quickly quite a bit but they also cite some other authors and they do a really good job of pointing out the motives of each person they're citing to make sure you understand that yeah this one needs to be on the reading list okay i'm gonna i'm gonna read from it in a little bit today so just to show you how good this stuff is okay so the second the fabian literature treats the milner group and the fabians as parallel efforts towards the same
19:17 They are interlocking elite networks, both emphasized gradualism, elite guidance of society, and institutional penetration via politics, education, journalism, industry, and every other aspect, specifically governmental civil service organizations to include unions.
19:43 Though the Milner group focused more on imperial elitist federalism, while Fabian's prioritized socialist permeation of existing structures, their overlap in personal ties, like Milner himself and his coefficient dining club founded by Sidney and Beatrice Webb and other figures like Sir Fabian Ware, a kindergartner member.
20:13 Quigley notes extensively about their creation of the Labor Party as part of that infiltration. So this group roots trace back.
20:29 And we've talked about all of this to Oxford, the ideas of the British empire as a moral vehicle for quote unquote freedom and social services among the working class so they can control the peasants. Rhodes, Cecil Rhodes, which Warhamster just mentioned, was the diamond and gold magnet and empire builder in Southern Africa. He articulated a vision.
20:56 in his successive wills, of which Warhamster just mentioned, of a secret society modeled after the Jesuit-like orders to promote English-speaking ideals, expand the empire, ideally to include the United States, and counter threats to Anglo-Saxon civilization. Scholarships, like the Rhodes Scholarship from his final will, were set up so that they could bring
21:25 from around the world into their educational indoctrination system and form this secret society as a private instrument. It was formalized in February 1891 by Rhodes, journalist William Stead, because they love using journalist, and Reginald Brett.
21:53 who again, as we've articulated here, gets promoted to a royal title because that's how they affirm their standing and allow them to carry out all of these evil deeds. They outlined an inner society of the elect with Cecil Rhodes as the leader and a junta of three, including Stead, Brett, and Alfred Milner.
22:22 They had the outer circle of associative helpers and early initiates and associates included Lord Rothschild for financing and investing all of the wealth that Cecil Rhodes had left in his trust. Rothschild was not on that final trust. He was an investment banker that.
22:45 took care of their money. So anybody that tells you he was in control of all of this is lying to you. Sir Henry- Influential, but not all powerful. Sir Henry Johnston, Albert Gray, who gets promoted to Earl Gray, and the rest of them that had been linked to the British South African company and imperial circles. It remained highly secret.
23:14 Led by Rhodes and Stead, and after Rhodes' death, and Stead kind of fell out of favor, Milner became the key player behind all of this. And then I have a list of a whole bunch of names and what role they played, but we can go from there. There's a few I wanted to highlight. And then throw in any others if you don't mind.
23:47 The first one that jumped out at me was Lord Natty Rothschild, Nathaniel. He's the great-grandson of Meyer Amschel. We're not going to go through the Rothschild story. One of the five major banking houses in England throughout the 1800s, probably the wealthiest most of the time. They helped finance a lot of Cecil Rhodes buying out of the diamond mines in South Africa. I've got a funny little quote in this book here about Natty Rothschild because we're talking about Churchill. It's worth reading. This is from Niall Ferguson.
24:17 uh who's basically the best best rothschild's biographer he said the rothschilds made a practice of applying politically powerful individuals with gifts loans investment tips and outright bribes politicians of every political persuasion were bankrolled including lord randolph churchill winston's father goes on to say when lord randolph churchill died from syphilis wonder how he got that in 1895
24:47 At the age of 45, he owed the Rothschilds about 66,000 pounds at the time. It's probably six or seven million dollars today. It's interesting that Churchill's mom was having an affair with the king and Churchill's dad ends up with syphilis. Just throwing it out there. Another important members were Lord Escher. He would be the chief political advisor to the crown for almost 20 years.
25:19 You talked about Steed. We've mentioned him at the very beginning. This is the guy who was friends with Lillian Scott Troy, the very brave biographer. Lord Salisbury becomes a very important one. He's born Robert Arthur Talbot Gascon Cecil. The Cecils have served the crown for generations. Robert himself, the Lord of Salisbury, was the Prime Minister of England three times from 1885 to 1902. There's that year again, Colonel.
25:52 this this he's important for this because he kind of pioneered this three-pronged methodology that combines politics education with journalism and that's the journalism part is so important and we talked about both the pilgrims and the fabians basically being very much involved in the media and we're going to see that when we jump the pond in america again um
26:17 Salisbury's job was to basically what he always did is he said, I recruit men of ability, most of them from Oxford, chiefly from All Souls, semi-secret society, and linked them to the Cecil Block of the Milner Group through marriage and patronage. And they would influence public policy by putting his people in positions of power, shielded as much as possible from public attention. That is a direct quote. That is the deep state, Colonel. It is.
26:46 salisbury is really the architect of the man behind the curtain and almost the managerial uh he basically creates the managerial class and basically what we're describing here is technocracy the experts and this is the milner group and the cecil section of the miller group are the ones who are doing that they they formulated the current
27:17 model being used over 120 years ago. And this bears out when you look at the Milner Group's implementation of this, because as with all of these philosophies or approaches to world control, they have test cases. And they, just like what I say all the time,
27:44 about what we're seeing in America today is the implementation of the Phoenix program. Well, they had to test that out. They tested it out and the British tested it in Malaysia. We tested it in Vietnam. We tested it in Latin America. All of these concepts are tested outside before they're brought inside. And if you go and you look at when the Boer Wars, which we talked about last week, was set up.
28:11 That was the beginning steps of doing the Milner kindergarten in South Africa. And they created the model system to include overthrowing areas that were co-located. It's like its own little microcosm. They did the exact same thing in their Commonwealth territory of India.
28:41 And why that matters is if you look at India today and their complete monopolization of corporations in the United States, these people are descendants of the people that the Milner Group created in India 100 years ago. And you can trace back their lineage and education to this effort.
29:11 Very good. Few more prominent names. Oh, real quick. Renee in chat once she says, I'm guessing these are the shady ones behind the creation of Rhodesia. Absolutely. Much of Milner's kindergarten met Milner when he was in South Africa. This is exactly these are the managerial class of South Africa that would follow him over. So that's insightful. A few more important names. We talked about Waldorf Astor from the English branch of the Astor family, who was, of course, a pilgrim.
29:41 There's that crossover again. Gentleman by the name of Philip Kerr, who would later become the 11th Marcus of Lothian. I thought it was interesting. His nickname was Narcissus because he was so narcissistic. He would join the kindergarten in South Africa and go on to become David Lloyd George's, the prime minister's private secretary. And Kerr was really prominent at the Treaty of Versailles, which we'll probably get to next week. Another big one was Arthur James Balfour.
30:12 He was the prime minister from 1902 to 1905. Most people know Balfour because of the Balfour Declaration or Declaration, which is interesting because it shouldn't be called the Balfour Declaration. It should be called the Milner Declaration because Milner and Leo Armory are the ones who drafted it. Balfour only signed it. Correct. The creation of Israel was a Milner project. Let's let that hang in there for a second because that's a big frigging deal.
30:46 So really, we're talking about they already know that they're going to carve up the entire Middle East for the oil, setting warring tribes inside the same border so they can never unite. Just like South Africa. And then they put Israel smack dab in the middle of it. So there's always going to be a magnet for the tension. Correct. And we basically did that with.
31:14 multiple locations in Africa. But one of the primary initial launching points was the Congo. Another fun name was Lionel Curtis, who was a big proponent of world government. And he would end up, and we're going to get to this, being the founding member of the Royal Institute of American Affairs, also known as Chatham House, which is the British version of the Council of Foreign Relations. And a lot of these names are going to be part of all of that. So that is
31:46 The society of the elect and why we had to go back and make sure we emphasize how important they are as we're talking about the pilgrims. And we can't miss the other figures like Lord Atricum, whose name was actually Edward Griggs, Nancy Astor of the Astor family. I know you mentioned the other one.
32:15 Did you mention Arnold Toynbee? I did not. Okay, he's one. And in Canada, Vincent Massey was one. And you have a whole bunch of civil service, but all of the people end up being knighted. That's the thing that cracks me up. They start off as...
32:36 like civil servants as part of a government, like especially in India and South Africa. And then because of their good work and their creation of this infiltration was so good, they end up as like Lord Meston, Sir William, Lord Haley. All of them have these royal titles at the end of the day. Amazing how that works. Quigley also names hundreds of the Association of Helpers. And if we had a...
33:08 We could go through all of them because there's some fun names there, but I'll skip that for now. I think the point's been made. All right. So this is all the buildup to the war. Crown Prince Ferdinand is assassinated. That's the excuse. When an army mobilizes, that means they're ready for war. You mobilize before you declare war. And I want to bring this up because it's an important point. We talk about all these society elect and these pilgrims, and they're infiltrated the Bedia.
33:45 and the education, which you're going to see happen at this point forward is Oxford, especially, and all of the newspapers are going to be pushing the propaganda out that the war is Germany's fault over and over and over again from day one. That was the story they were pushing. And it was important because that's a story that had to be official to get America to perhaps consider joining. If England started the war, there's no way America's joining.
34:15 Because that's just not our style. So it's important to understand the order of mobilization. Which country mobilized first? And that was Austria-Hungary. After they had met with Germany. And German royalty actually left for a three-week vacation the next day. Which you don't do if you're going to war. Britain's the next to mobilize. Then Russia. Then France. And finally Germany mobilizes a few hours after France.
34:45 I want to hammer that point home even more. So I'm going to read a few paragraphs. It's got by the name of a Swiss author, a German Swiss author named Emma Ludwig, who publishes in 1929, a book about the assassination. He wrote of an interested circles driven by ambition, ambition and greed being responsible for war. Did such a circle exist in Britain at the time? We just outlined it. Yeah.
35:19 In his book, The Empire of the City, talk about the city of London, The Secret History of British Financial Power, E.C. Knuth suggested that British foreign policy was controlled not by democratically elected politicians in the Westminster Parliament, but by massively wealthy and powerful individuals in international finance in the city of London. Boy, that sounds familiar. Going on. A little more on that. Knuth says,
35:51 How has it been possible to erect this internationalist structure of misrepresentation and deception in our midst and to protect it from exposure? Why have not our professors of history, our college presidents and educators, our crusading newspapers exposed this monstrosity? Why indeed, Colonel? Because they're all controlled. One last reading from this wonderful book.
36:19 Another renowned American academic, Howard Zinn, we've heard of him, professor of political science at Boston University, similarly wrote of rich and powerful men serving their own interests with wars arising as a consequence of them pursuing those interests. According to Zinn, there has always been a profound conflict between rich men's interests with those of the people. The ordinary man was not the enemy of the ordinary man.
36:47 yet did the fighting and dying in rich men's wars. In Zinn's view, all powerful oligarchies in Britain and the United States remain secure in power through dominating the historical record and whitewashing their nefarious activities from it. Thank you very much. That controls, that requires control of the media. Indeed. And academia. Gotta write, gotta control the history. Correct. The reason that gets me so animated is because,
37:20 To be honest, people have known about this stuff for a century and we haven't been able to stop it. Because they own the media and history. Yeah, it almost makes you a little bit worried. And education. Yeah, it makes you, you know, I can understand why people say, you know, to just give up hope. I've got a good friend of mine. Guy's a very successful Wall Street guy. And, you know, he's awake. You know, he went to a lot of the anti-COVID protests with me. He's a good guy.
37:49 And he's just thrown up his hands. He goes, we can never fix this. Now he's living on an island in the Caribbean. He just gives us no hope. And I don't agree. But I also enjoy the fight quite a bit. This I enjoy. Educating people I enjoy. So I'll never stop. I've got nothing else to do the next 50 years, so what the hell. All right, let's get into another really interesting pilgrim. Let me share my screen. And this is J.P. Morgan, Jr. Earlier we saw his father.
38:26 Well, this is a son. And you ever say the apple doesn't, what is it, the fruit doesn't fall, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree? Right. Oh, yes. This guy, basically, it could be his dad. He was born in 1867 and lived to the ripe age of 1943. He was the only son of J.P. Morgan, who passed away in 1913. So right before the war. J.P. Morgan Jr. goes to high school at...
39:01 St. Paul's in Concord, New Hampshire. 30 minutes. He goes on to Harvard. You're going to see a bunch of patterns coming up here. Joins his father's business and inherited the fortune and the business in 1913. Like his father, he avoids publicity and was active in, get ready for it, philanthropy. His big philanthropies were the Episcopal Church, which we've made the case is probably...
39:36 Oh, too woke. And it's because it's become too corporatized and too internationalist and infiltrated by. It's remember the Ivy League schools were invented as religious schools for these Protestant Eastern seaboard. I watched a fantastic historian who I'm going to have on my channel. Get his name in a second here. Basically talks about how the New England churches changed about the same time as these robber barons were coming into power. And it's no coincidence.
40:06 His other big philanthropy, get ready for it. Oh, the Red Cross. Yeah, that's going to come up again today. So J.P. Morgan has a prominent role in financing World War I from the get-go. We've already talked about how the panic of 1907, his father helped crash the market, then saved it, which led to the Aldrich Vreeland bill, which was the pre-Federal Reserve.
40:40 They met on Jekyll Island in 1910. Three years later, we get the Federal Reserve. Federal Reserve's not in power. Wasn't in place when the war broke out. Took it a year to get in place. So the Aldrich-Vreeland Act was what basically with the early financing didn't have quite the flexibility. So J.P. Morgan steps in there. He makes the first loan of $12 million to Russia. 1915, he made a loan of $500 million to English and French financial. It's called the Anglo-French Financial Commission.
41:10 And then he brokers the deal that made J.P. Morgan the sole purchaser for munitions and supplies to the British and the French. And for that, he gets a 1% commission on about $3 billion in sales. That's $30 million, which is about a billion dollars today, which also tells you how far they devalued the dollar. And who was Aldridge related to? Aldridge's daughter would marry into the Rockefeller family.
41:38 And then their child would be named Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller. Oh, and we'll find more Aldriches that are members of the Pilgrim Society. Yeah, Aldrich is the guy who called the meeting on Jekyll Island. And we're going to talk more about that today. Because this is so, remember, all wars are banker wars. It's the point I'm trying to hammer home. How are we doing on that so far? Just trying to help. And I'll read the Rockefeller. That too.
42:12 So helping him broker that deal was a very interesting guy by the name of Henry Pomeroy Davison Sr. Now, we have mentioned him briefly previously, and I'll remind you why in a second here. But Pomeroy Davison Sr. is born in 1867 in Troy, Pennsylvania. And he is not a guy who grew up in the private grooming schools. He worked his way up the banking ladder from the Midwest.
42:41 He'd become the president of what's called Liberty National Bank, which would eventually be merged into Chemical Bank. Why are you laughing at Chemical Bank? Where have you seen them before? Oh, I've seen them a lot in my shenanigans of money laundering. Yes, indeed. Then he would help fund something called Bankers Trust. That doesn't sound too familiar to most. We've talked about it, but it eventually gets folded into something called State Street.
43:13 State Street doesn't get enough recognition because everyone talks about how BlackRock owns 15% of every stock. Well, they don't own it. They own the voting shares as proxy because they run the exchange traded funds and the biggest asset manager. The other two on that list, you always see the top three are Vanguard and State Street. State Street helped invent the exchange traded fund, the ETF. They were first to the game, but got passed up. Pretty influential.
43:40 Stacey was also the one that was involved in the Smartmatic Dominion voting. I had forgotten that. Yeah. So, anyway. 1909, Henry Pomeroy Davidson Sr. becomes a partner at J.P. Morgan. Is he older or younger than J.P. Morgan Jr.? Let me look. Nope, they're born the exact same year. Okay, so 1910, Henry Pomeroy Davidson Sr.
44:15 was a participant at a meeting on Jekyll Island. This guy helped found the Federal Reserve. The U.S. enters the war a little bit later, 1917. He takes a job on the War Council of the American Red Cross. Okay, so the American Red Cross had a war council. Yes, and it's really interesting.
44:51 During the Bolshevik Revolution, there were Americans and British agents in there helping the Bolsheviks. Under the guise of Red Cross. The Americans had to go under the guise of the Red Cross, and the British did not because they were actually allies. If the Americans had gone in there as a military advisor, there would have been a reason for Germany to declare war on us. So that's why that happened. What were they there pretending to be?
45:21 The original mission was supposed to be medical. So they had a token couple of doctors on it and the rest were all industrialists. And basically spooks. They were spies. They were going in there to figure out.
45:37 what advantage they could craft. And of course, out of that came, and this is well documented in Antony Sutton's book of the Bolshevik Revolution, GE got the electrification of the Bolshevik government and all of the railroad barons got contracts and concessions to build out all of their railroads. So they made a killing after the Bolsheviks.
46:06 Most certainly. And they did it using the Red Cross. And this guy is on the War Council. To this day, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies annually grants the Henry Davison Award in his memory. Bit of a big deal. Go ahead. Did you get the part where his son was the director of personnel for the CIA?
46:38 That's exactly where I'm going next. The reason we talked about him before is because his son is Truby Davison, who went to the Groton School, went to Yale, was in Skull and Bones. We covered him in Skull and Bones. He was the founder of the first Yale unit in 1916, which was basically a bunch of Ivy League flyboys that were trying to prepare for war. He'd then go to school in Columbia Law.
47:06 Became the Assistant Secretary of War for Air in 1926 to 1933, and eventually the first personnel director for the CIA. Amazing, the connections. I've got a lot more on Truby, but I think we want to go past it since we've covered him in detail. Just to show that they're all connected. Yeah. Oh, another guy who was on that, his first Air Division, whatever, at Yale, was a guy by the name of, oh, I don't know, Robert Lovett.
47:41 Not to mention a few other bonesman, but ones we didn't cover. Yeah. All of these, all his whole family, as far as his sons and daughters, are you talking about the other two real quickly or the other three? Other three what? The kids of Davison. I didn't get into it. I'm not going to talk about the other kids. Go ahead. So one of them ended up, but it fits your whole model.
48:07 one of them ends up at time magazine as a director so you got the media one of them ends up um mary i love this one ward cheney the son of charles cheney a partner of jp morgan so it just fits the entire model this one guy and here's all of his kids and they're going to just feather out into this entire network interestingly truby davidson failed his flight test when he's trying to join the uh
48:37 i guess was it whatever the military flying and he actually never flew in battle so we're all the better for it ah let's see oh who else helped broker that deal with um for um the deal the livered lend lease over in england none other then you get there bear with me one thomas lamont oh dang
49:14 Well, we've talked about him a few times, but we're going to talk about him some more. Born in New York, went to high school at a boarding school by the name of Phillips Exeter. These people are surrounding me, Colonel. Yep. He's important, Lamont is. Are you going to have anything to add or do you want to go first? No, go ahead. Goes to Harvard and he became the very first freshman editor of the Harvard Crimson. This is a newspaper guy from day one.
49:45 Remember we said about using the newspaper to set the agenda? Yep. While he's in college to help pay his tuition, he also works at the New York Tribune, the Albany Evening Journal, the Boston Advertiser, the Boston Herald, and the New York Tribune. He then goes into business and eventually joins Davidson at Bankers Trust. Then he becomes a partner at J.P. Morgan in 1911.
50:18 And he was a member of something known as the Jekyll Island Club. So what we're documenting here is the entire Jekyll Island was a pilgrim's initiative. Pretty much. Okay. Yeah. In 1918, he would purchase the New York Evening Post. And then during the war, he's selling war bonds for the Liberty Loan Committee. He's the unofficial advisor to a guy by the name of Edward.
50:52 Colonel Edward M. House in his mission to the Allies. The Fabian. Yes. The guy who led Wilson around the White House by his nose. Correct. And he is a Fabian. He was trying to convince the U.S. to aid the Bolsheviks so they'd stay in the war, but that didn't work out too well. He'd end up being a Treasury Department representative to the Paris Peace Conference in Versailles. And we're going to talk a lot about Versailles here in the next week or two, so I'm not going to go deep into that.
51:26 Later on, Lamont helped draw up the 1924 Dawes Plan and the 1929 Young Plan, which was supposed to kind of renegotiate the debt owed by Germany after the Treaty of Versailles. So he's involved in all of that. 1932, there's something called the Pecora Commission of Congress that was looking into the Wall Street bankers, seeing if they'd done anything nefarious, like maybe causing the crash of 1929, which we're going to get to.
52:00 But he actually represented J.P. Morgan. J.P. Morgan Jr. was in semi-retirement. He was running the show at this point. He was a financial advisor to Woodrow Wilson, Hoover, FDR. All the ones that fucked up our financial system. Yeah. 1926, he's the guy who secured a $200 million loan for Benito Mussolini. Because we love those fascists. And, of course, five days before the crash, he's talking to Hoover.
52:32 who's worried about the speculative mania on Wall Street and how stretched valuations were. And his exact quote is, everything's fine. The future appears brilliant. For them. How'd that work out, Lamont? It worked out great for them. He then tries to get, after the crash in October of 1929, he tries to get the other Wall Street banks to buy up a bunch of blue chip stocks to see if we can save the market like J.P. Morgan Sr. had done in 1907. Didn't work. Market was off 40%.
53:03 One year. And it went down a lot further. So that's Thomas Lamont, people. So can I add that he, one of his sons ends up, and remember Columbia was the Fabian's initial roost for Fabianism in the United States. One of his sons ends up as a philosophy professor at Columbia and was an avowed socialist.
53:33 which goes right in line with everything we're talking about. Fun stuff. Let's get back to J.P. Morgan Jr. He's not done yet. It becomes apparent the war is not going to be a quick and easy, decisive victory. Everything's stalemated on the front. And Morgan is now concerned about his loans being repaid. So Morgan, he's urging the U.S. to get into the war.
54:10 Now, this is debated whether this happened, but I'm going to give you evidence that it did. He goes around the country buying up newspapers, like 25 of them, and basically said they'd start running some pro-war propaganda. And they actually did that. But how do we know it's official? There's a congressional rep by the name of Oscar Calloway in 1917 reads the following into the congressional record. He says.
54:33 This is in the congressional record. The JP Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interests and their subsidiary organizations assembled 12 high-ranking newspaper figures. These men allegedly selected 179 papers and narrowed the list to 25 of the most influential ones whose control or editorial policy was purchased. According to the charge, the buyers paid monthly for policy control and installed editors to promote preparedness, militarism,
55:01 and pro-allied views while suppressing opposition now why would the military industrial complex do that hey that happened huh that this happened right it's not a conspiracy people i'm nobody here i guess nobody in our audience but no things to conspiracy theory but in the case we get a normie out there all right there's some other people in america pushing us into war teddy roosevelt's one of them
55:35 Can I go back one second to Lamont? I just happened to ask Grok a question just because they were in the media. One of Lamont's son, Lansing Lamont, was at Time and that spits in this whole narrative. Well, guess where Lansing Lamont was working?
56:00 during the JFK assassination. Oh, he was working at Time Magazine, a CIA front, and was one of the ones most quoted on the JFK assassination as well as the RFK assassination. So I'll just leave that there. Excellent. Real-time research. You can't make this shit up. All right. The other people in America are really pushing for war are other big names. Teddy Roosevelt, which is interesting because he didn't like Churchill, remember?
56:37 Pilgrim Society's own Elihu Root, who we talked about two weeks ago. He was both the Secretary of State and the Secretary of War. Another guy pushing it was a guy by the name of Henry Cabot Lodge. There's a Cabot Street in just about every town in New England. They are one of the bluest of the Blue Buds, the family. Henry Cabot Lodge has shown up a bunch in our talks. There's a guy by the name of General Leonard Wood, who is really a war hawk. And he's interesting because...
57:10 Guy's from Winchester, New Hampshire, right down the road. Goes to Harvard Med and becomes an Army surgeon. Serves in the Apache Wars. Was the personal physician to a couple of presidents. And then becomes the commander of the Rough Riders in Cuba with Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy Roosevelt was his number two. He parlayed that into becoming the Army Chief of Staff in 1910 to 1914. This is a doctor, not a soldier, apparently.
57:43 He got passed over for command of the American Expeditionary Forces in 1914. He would eventually become the military governor of Cuba, and he was once the governor general of the Philippines from 1921 to 1927. Philippines? That never happens, does it? Right when we were trying to kill all the indigenous Filipinos. Yeah, that same guy.
58:12 Leonard Wood, there's a military base named after this guy as well. Is there? Yes. Oh, yeah. Would you call this guy paper general? He wasn't the Rough Riders. You got to give him that. And he fought in the Apache Wars. I don't know. I don't have any details. But medical school doesn't normally lead to military command. Well, actually, it can't. And he may be the reason why.
58:36 There is a designation between line officers and non-line officers. Non-line officers are not allowed to command line officers. He may be the reason why. Interesting. Last of the war hawks I had was a guy by the name of Walter Hines Page, and he's such a war hawk. We would actually send him over to become the U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom during the war, where, of course, he had a welcome dinner from the Pilgrim Society and became a pilgrim.
59:08 It becomes apparent to me that there's multiple secret societies overlaying the secret societies. Yeah, it's a network. It's an intricate network with concentric circles and different layers. Which is exactly what Milner envisioned. And it's interesting that they've already pretty much superseded the royalty in decision making. All these decisions that are taking the whole world to war are happening in smoke-filled rooms.
59:40 at dinner gatherings, dinner club. All right, a little bit more before we get into the final chapter here. The opponents of the war in America was, of course, William Jennings Bryan, three-time Democratic candidate for president. He was the guy who was all about silver. We could do a whole show on William Jennings Bryan. He's an interesting guy. He's the one that basically, his populist message, actually, he's the one, because he was a populist socialist. He's the one that actually, they talk about the shift in parties.
1:00:11 product party shift would have been considered further right-wing than Republicans up until William Jennings Bryan's populist ideas moved it to the left and embraced more socialist ideas. And a lot of that was the result of the robber barons and the need for actual unionization because the working conditions were getting worse and worse. So that's, he was definitely, he was a secretary of state for Woodrow Wilson, but he resigned because he didn't think Wilson's response to the Lusitania was neutral enough. So he was a man of principle.
1:00:40 even if you don't like some of his policies. Another opponent of American intervention in the war was a guy by the name of Senator Robert La Follette. And he made an argument on the Senate floor that said, all war does is it serves bankers and munitions makers. Accurate. Yes. Another piece, another dove was a woman by the name of Jeanette Rankin. She was a, from Montana. She was the very first woman in Congress. Kind of important.
1:01:12 And of course, there was William Randolph Hearst, who often took isolationist and anti-British positions and used his newspapers to push that, which is why J.P. Morgan had to buy newspapers to battle him in the press. And of course, a lot of the socialists were opposed to entering the war, which is interesting because Woodrow Wilson was basically a socialist. So leading up to the war, Woodrow Wilson.
1:01:43 And Treasury Secretary William McAdoo were really suspicious of JPMorgan Jr. Can I make a point about, because I think what you just said is profound. There are true socialists and there are Fabian socialists. They are not the same thing. True socialists wanting the use of community resources to benefit the people, like you see happening with the oil in Alaska and stuff like that.
1:02:15 You can characterize that, and that goes back to the whole conversation we had about what actual socialism is as an economic system. It's not the socialism that we're taught in school. This fake Fabian socialism is an on-ramp to communism, world domination, and world control by an elite.
1:02:38 sector of the population one world government they are not the same thing and they do this to us all the time by lumping these people in together and i just want to make that um like an explanation point of what you just said because it's profound yeah the correct term they all fit under the umbrella of collectivism and then there's different flavors so so wilson was definitely a fabian socialist he was not a true socialist very good
1:03:09 All right, so Woodrow Wilson and the Treasury Secretary McAdoo, they were suspicious of J.P. Morgan, publicly suspicious of him. But when we do enter the war, they would work really closely together. J.P. Morgan Jr. would be on the advisory council of the Federal Reserve Board of New York from 1914, its inception to 1919. This is important because the Federal Reserve Board of New York is the central hub of the Federal Reserve. And Morgan's sitting there on the advisory council and basically controlling monetary supply.
1:03:38 And while he's running his own investment bank, which benefits from moves in interest rates. You see any conflicts of interest there? Yeah, the fox in the hen house or the wolf in sheep's clothing, whatever one you want to use. Post-war, J.P. Morgan Jr. creates something called the Morgan Guarantee Company, and it would manage Germany's reparation payments. Interestingly, Morgan Guarantee took huge losses during the Depression and the market crash.
1:04:12 because they were guaranteeing reparation payments. A few years later, J.P. Morgan was one of the business plot conspirators to install a fascist dictator in the United States and overthrow FDR, but we're going to talk more about that later in this story. So I'm not going to go too deep, but J.P. Morgan was one of them, along with Skull and Bones member Prescott Bush and a few other people like, oh, I don't know, Averill Harriman, who was a pilgrim. J.P. Morgan Jr. dies of a heart attack in 1943.
1:04:46 His only really important son that survived was a guy by the name of Henry Sturgis Morgan, who was the founding partner of Morgan Stanley, a company I almost went to work for. In fact, Morgan Stanley actually bought Smith Barney that I was working for, which is why I couldn't take the offer from Morgan Stanley. Interestingly, Henry Sturgis Morgan actually married a descendant of the second president of the United States, John Adams. Fun little fact there. Okay.
1:05:19 That's enough of JP Morgan. We got time. Let's do it. Let's get into the disaster of Gallipoli. Let's go back to Winston Churchill. Give me a second to navigate this. Winston, you thought we were going to let you off the hook, didn't you? Nah, Winston. This is known as Churchill's Folly. Okay, let's get to the maps. This ought to do it. Okay. Churchill hatched a plan to cut Turkey off and open up a new front on Germany.
1:06:21 What's going on is there's a stalemate on the eastern and western fronts the war starts and everyone's it's now trench warfare Nobody's gaining people are just dying in the European theater Turkey down here Well right now Bulgaria's neutral so Turkey's not doing much besides sending a couple ships up to Russia to attack these ports up here in the Black Sea and Churchill's idea is if we can basically take our ships sailing through the Dardanelles Straits we can then
1:06:49 Get a landing force in here and take out Constantinople, open up a new front against Germany over here in the east. I'm sorry, in the west and basically cut Turkey off of the war. And also we can get supplies into Russia as well. And so Russia can actually still attack Germany up here. If I got a better map of that. There you go. Now, what had happened previously? Let me get to that in a second. So Churchill, this stalemate, Churchill wants to secure a sea route.
1:07:26 Churchill insists on the urgency of this mission. He's the first Lord of the Admiralty, okay? And he's never served on a boat in his life. But he was in the War of Wars. Colonel, this is not an original idea because in 1907, the British War College had done a study or whatever. What do they call that? War gaming. War gaming. Thank you.
1:07:52 So what would it look like if we tried to take the sea of the Dardanelles Strait and basically take Gallipoli? And they realized it was absolutely folly. It wouldn't work because you're going to have fortresses on both sides of these straits and your ships are going to get destroyed. And you're going to have problems with the mines and just no, no, no. So this is interesting. So the non-seaman did it anyway. Bulgaria did not originally side with the central powers.
1:08:29 The first Balkan Wars, which was 1912 and 13, Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, and Montenegro had defeated the Ottomans right in this area. And then they had a... The war was over. That ended pretty quickly. They actually really embarrassed the Ottomans. They were not doing so well militarily at this point. Then these four allies had disputes of the lands that had been seized. And Bulgaria...
1:09:01 immediately attacks its former allies and gets defeated. The Treaty of Bucharest strips Bulgaria, this is 1913, of most of the territories it had previously gained. Serbia then gets the bulk of Macedonia right here. Now this infuriates Bulgaria's pride because they consider Macedonians to be Bulgarian. It is a national catastrophe. But the war starts in 1914 and Bulgaria is initially going to be neutral.
1:09:33 Because of its location, both sides really wanted them to join their side. What the Ottomans did, they said, if you join us, we'll give you back Macedonia. So now Bulgaria joins on the side of the central powers. So that's important backlog because these Dardanelles Straits are right next to Bulgaria, where you're going to try to take, you know, catch the Ottomans by surprise because obviously they're no longer capable. So let's see what else I have here.
1:10:09 All right, a couple little pictures here. Let's do this one first. Oops, where is it? If you see here, this is the Gallipoli Peninsula, and they're trying to sail a bunch of ships up here. All these pluses are Ottoman forts with big guns. Behind these big guns are a bunch of caverns and ravines where they've got mobile howitzers, and naval ships can't shoot like that. You need something that has an arch, so you need army in there.
1:10:41 What happens is the British Navy tries to take out the Ottoman forks in the Straits. They get their butts kicked. They're using older ships that weren't very useful against the modern German Navy. So they weren't even sending their best. And they had about 35 civilian ships out there trying to clear the mines in the waterway. And of course, these are civilian ships. They don't know how to clear mines, but they did their best. And every single night, the Turks would send out a couple of boats and relay the mines.
1:11:13 He also had the Turkish fixed fortifications and mobile howitzer battles, I talked, and the ship guns were useless. Finally, four ships, including a French one, sink, and the Allied Navy flees. It's not just going to be a naval attack. So Winston Churchill says we're going to have to use the Army, and that'll be quick. We'll send 35,000 troops, and these troops are going to be made from the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia.
1:11:46 Some French troops, none of them really experienced a battle. Most of this is what they call the Anzacs. I believe that's a Kiwi abbreviation of some kind. I don't know. And the idea is going to be Anzac landings here, British Marines up here, and the French are going to attack down here at the bottom as a feint to draw forces off. This is their plan. The Turkish Fifth Army is led by a German, General von Saunders. Oh, I was going to point something else out.
1:12:22 Back on this map. Now that Bulgaria joins the Austria-Hungary and German Empire, there's a straight train ride right into the Ottomans to resupply them. Okay? Very strategic. Okay, the Turkish Fifth Army is led by General von Saunders, who's helping them modernize their forces after they got their butts kicked by a bunch of Balkan smaller countries. But these Turks are different because they're Anatolians, and they are defending their homeland.
1:13:01 They are the best soldiers the Ottomans have, and they've got the best commanders there. They would sit there, and this terrain is rough. It's a small beach rigged by cliffs, and it's not easy terrain. So the Anatolian Turks are shooting from up top every time the British try to make a beachhead. They had a thin line of troops to defend the beaches, and then reinforcements would be behind them, and they'd come and push the invaders back every time they got a beachhead. This is bloody fighting, Colonel.
1:13:34 It is awful. Main landings are incurring heavy casualties. There's barbed wire and the sharpshooters, deep cliffs, and the Anzacs could never take the high ground. This whole area is defenders' dream. So even when the English forces did get some territory, even the Ottomans, it was hard to push in to push them out, even with superior numbers. This is just a defensive ground. Now, of course, the Western War going on with Germany on the Western Front.
1:14:06 Gets a lot more attention from the British High Command. So the resupplies are always late. And now they're bogged down into a stalemate. By July, General Hamilton arrives with six new divisions. Let's just throw good money after bad money. Good money after bad, huh? Hamilton tries the assault with a new front. And I believe that's going to be down here. You can see my mouse. This one fails because the artillery reinforcements were late. None of their supplies are getting there.
1:14:42 These men are living in terrible conditions. There are no food. There's no water. There's no place to bury bodies. There's no place to dispose of your waste. You're living in shit and dysentery is getting all the men. In the meantime, the Ottoman Turks can go back home and they can give refreshments and reinforcements. They have no problem with supply. This is so bad that they end up replacing Hamilton. This is right when Bulgaria does join the war.
1:15:15 Churchill continues to support the campaign, even after the early setbacks. They start having a bunch of internal arguments between Churchill and Admiral Fisher. Fisher resigns in protest in May. It weakens Churchill's position in the British government, and he loses his post in the Admiralty and steps down from the cabinet in May of 2015. He's a disgrace because he kept pushing a bad, bad...
1:15:46 Idea after it. Results are 150,000 Allied losses, about 186,000 Ottoman losses, and no ground gained whatsoever. It was a meat grinder. I found a really good write-up that I want to share that talks about... Can I just add, this was the very moment that brought Ataturk in the Ottoman Empire to power. 100%.
1:16:20 This was his defining moment. Yeah, Ataturk was the general serving right underneath the German general. Yeah. So let's talk about why this failed. I just found a really good lineup, a write-up on it, and I'll just read it. You don't need to see that on screen, do you? No. It says, why is Gallipoli a disaster? Gallipoli failed due to a long series of strategic mistakes tied to supply weakness.
1:16:48 and flawed assumptions that many leaders had accepted too readily first allied leaders underestimated ottoman strength and readiness their intelligence proved inaccurate in key areas and they had relied on the false belief that naval gunfire alone could clear the strait the initial attacks lacked mine clearing vestibule vessels with proper protection and naval commanders failed to anticipate that defenders could relay mines under cover of darkness
1:17:18 Next, the landings occurred, in many cases with poor coordination and vague objectives. Allied commanders launched assaults on beaches far apart without adequate scouting or understanding the local geography. This is all under Churchill's command, by the way. The man we're supposed to believe single-handedly beat the Nazis. Continuing, at Anzac Cove, soldiers faced steep bridges that blocked inland movement.
1:17:47 While at Cape Hellas, the British units encountered fortified positions and concentrated fire. Commanders had relied on outdated maps from the 1850s that did not accurately show the peninsula's terrain, while Ottoman forces already reinforced and well-positioned inflicted high casualties before the Allies could gain a foothold. Troops struggled to move beyond the shoreline, and within days, trench warfare replaced hopes of rapid advance. The whole idea was a blitzkrieg.
1:18:19 Conditions worsened as the campaign dragged on. Supply chains often broke down and many soldiers lacked clean water and adequate supplies of food. Medical evacuation was slow and disorganized with overloaded hospital ships and too few casually clearing stations. Illness spread quickly with dysentery and heat exhaustion, which reduced unit strength even when fighting stalled. Meanwhile, Ottoman commanders rotated fresh units into the front lines and launched counterattacks that reversed Allied gains.
1:18:52 Allied leadership struggled to adapt to these conditions. Hamilton delayed critical decisions and resisted evacuation because he had to coordinate with England and Churchill. At the same time, political leaders failed to offer clear support. Reinforcements were limited, communication between departments remained slow, and responsibility for overall strategy remained divided. Without a clear command structure or unified direction, the campaign stalled.
1:19:21 And did you put in your notes who was the prime minister during this time? Isn't that David Lloyd George already, right? No, it's Asquith. Yeah, thank you. It's Asquith. And he was a Fabian or a Pilgrim member. We talked about him a couple of weeks ago. Yes. I just bring in that full circle. So you have Churchill and Asquith as the two guys behind this.
1:19:49 Asquith is the one that basically, if I'm not mistaken, he loses the government as part of this whole failure because he was working in a coalition government. So you basically have two pilgrims behind the face of this. Just driving home your point. Yes, very much so. Good addition. Churchill would then, basically he's out of government.
1:20:18 stepped down from the cabinet. He would actually try to restore his name by taking command of a battalion on the Western Front in 1916. Tries to make his comeback. He's down, but not out. And we'll talk more about him soon, Winston. We are not done with you. You roaring lion, you. That was a fun episode. What I think we'll do, we're on my timeline next week, and let me know if you want to throw anything in there. We've got some other...
1:20:51 we're not going to be world war one historians but i want to there's going to be some other um secret society connections to some things that happened before the end of the war then we'll get to the peace process the armistice treaty versailles and we might be able to get to league of nations council foreign relations rii and chatham house maybe next week that's my goal okay so are you done with your part i am done okay so i want to tie this back
1:21:20 to what I've been talking about with Alpha Warrior. So at the beginning of the show, we were talking about the Milner Group and their stretching out of tentacles and the concentric circles. So I just want to show you how all of this stuff ties together with...
1:21:41 the work that we're doing here and how it changes the way you look at everything when you go back and look at history so you guys remember on the alpha warrior show when i was talking about the triple i three i five i the secret intelligence group that was working out of indianapolis we talked about it two weeks ago well i mentioned in there that
1:22:09 There was a time when the man that owned that entity, Bert Servas, went to South Africa and bought the opposition paper as a front for the group that was in South Africa because it was the only dissident newspaper.
1:22:35 in the country at the time with any prominence. And it goes right into what we've been talking about, about the infiltration of the media through the Fabians and the Milner Group and all of that. Well, when I was preparing for this after Warhamster sent me this, I remembered looking up the name of the newspapers that basically the Milner Group
1:23:05 were controlling because they were the same families that approached Servak to come in and pretend like he was going to be buying this newspaper. And it was the exact same newspapers that were controlled by the Milner group.
1:23:27 Call the guy in Indianapolis that was running the Saturday Evening Post in a massive media empire out of Indianapolis who owned his own intelligence organization that flies into South Africa working with the Milner Group kindergarten folks that pretended to buy the opposition newspaper so they could control them all.
1:23:51 This all comes full circle when you're doing this research. And it always does. That's why it's critical to understand all of these concentric circles. Control. And again, this goes back to the point I've been hammering home for ages, that we are living through Gutenberg 2.0. The powers that be have lost control of the information mechanisms. That's what the Internet has done for us. And that's why they're pushing so hard to censor, because they have to have control of the media. They have to.
1:24:22 Without that piece, the rest of it crumbles. Correct. And that's why what we're doing is so important. What everyone does, when you guys spread this truth and tell people what really happens, the more people we wake up, their empire starts to crumble. They have to have that mechanism of control. If they don't have control of the information flow, it's gone. I mean, it's impaired. I mean, we saw it. The best example of that was German propaganda in World War II. That was the best propaganda ever executed, I think.
1:24:51 except for maybe what we're living under today. Well, they definitely had an entire division and everything we're living on today because we didn't get rid of the Nazis are behind what we're living with today. Well, these people that we're going to talk about pretty soon, we're going to show in the next few weeks how they basically funded the Nazis. Remember the business plot that J.P. Morgan was a part of, J.P. Morgan Jr. was a part of, wanted to install a fascist dictatorship in America.
1:25:20 They were working with Prescott Bush and Averill Harriman, who are the ones who financed the rise of the Nazis in the first place. We're going to go into great detail on that when we get to the 1930s. And let me give Mager Sarge a shout out when we were talking about Fort Leonard Wood. He posted in the comments that it was known as Fort Lost in the Woods or Little Korea.
1:25:45 And that is so true. But I do have to share with you a personal tidbit about that. My husband's brother was in the army and he would go AWOL for that exact reason, lost in the woods, and come home to Florida on a routine basis from Mississippi.
1:26:07 the army did absolutely nothing he'd just go back when he wanted to and show up so yes it was definitely lost in the woods and it is a basic training um post for uh the army and it is what most people refer to as a hellhole so how apropos ah fun stuff yes the chat's been very lively yeah i'm trying to read as much as i could i don't catch it all but i do what i can
1:26:38 Thanks, you guys, for being here. We really, really appreciate it. You guys' support for this show is amazing. Yeah, and I go back and read the comments on both the Colonel's channel and mine when I posted a couple hours later. And the feedback's been fantastic. And that's all the motivation I need. And so we really do appreciate you guys. The Colonel and I would probably do this show with no audience because we enjoy this stuff. But it's a lot more when we've got this whole community around it. It is awesome. And it is definitely a community.
1:27:07 All right. Well, we'll see you next Friday for the next edition. Cheers.
