Wow — sounds like the Rockefeller clan single handily took down the European Empire.

I knew those guys were bad and clearly took over the US, but Europe? These guys are something else: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/donating-to-a-good-cause-how-billionaires

Bad to the core! Evil incarnate!

What they did to take over biology! Closed down Natural remedies and training schools. In comes the marketing of disease.

Speak of snake OIL.

For many avid history fans, and Substack researchers- the usual suspects is an old story-right? We know who controls the money, and we know how 'the money' controls the minions...so now we meet at the watershed moment: what are we going to do about it? At the same time, between the genetic experiments, the fake medical schools, the fake news, and the fake realities projected by rogue AI...where exactly does the next 'authentic action' menu take place?...in our minds?...and how collectively do we co-create a banking matrix which serves human well being. Scarcity has always been engineered-and the Rockefellers were just the chosen managers for the "poverty-by-design' social program. As always-I appreciate much the historical analysis. Pax! [ps One World Government was always 'their' objective.]

This one is important. It re-writes 20th century history up to present time in a different key.

Much of what has been happening in the last century and presently becomes logically comprehensible in a way that has not been accessible so far.

If you’ve been awake, studying history and paying attention for a length of time now—you likely recognize a single, continuous thesis that runs through centuries of history and lands squarely in the present. What is that thesis?

The everyday drama of elections, political personalities, and most wars—is largely theatre.

At the geopolitical level, what actually drives the world is a transnational criminal cabal and their corrupt financial system that has perfected a repeatable method of building, stripping, and replacing empires. We must begin to recognize the patterns that span many generations and centuries. Once we do, we quickly realize that this very same system is now finishing the American chapter and is constructing something new—a multipolar technocratic control grid that is built on debt, data, and privatized force.

It was this Dutch Empire, that invented the basic architecture that our later powers have been able to refine. So, in this model we are experiencing, we had a private company—the Dutch East India Company—that captured the profits from global extraction. Later, the British Empire copied the model almost exactly, substituting the Bank of England and the British East India Company, and used naval supremacy to lock in the arrangement. When the costs of empire eventually overwhelmed the British state, a managed transition handed the baton to America. Next. Now it’s America’s turn.

What is being created now is a system of power in which control over societies and individuals is exercised not primarily through traditional democratic nation-states or a single dominant empire. Instead, it’ll be through a networked, multi-centered apparatus that rests on three interlocking foundations—financial indebtedness, data-driven surveillance and scoring, and a coercive capacity that is increasingly private or hybrid rather than public.

The names change but the methods, do not. Those methods indicate that the same ideology/logic (and bloodlines) that once built the East India Companies is now building data centers, digital currencies, and surveillance platforms. Their master plan of a technocratic New World Order is coming at us like a freight train.

Looking forward to this read.

Imo though, the issue has always been the establishment of corporate systems and its placement as a global idealogy. We need to address corporatism ever since we the people rights were by subterfuge, granted to the business entity corporations in the Santa Clara v. Southern Pacific RR case. It was done by the headliner notes written into the abstract by the SCOTUS head clerk but never adjudicated on its own by SCOTUS. Through trade agreements those rights have become more enshrined.

The reviewer I feel should have used corporatism's pursuit of globalization

in place of capitalism's pursuit of globalization. I don't lay the burden on the work of Adam Smith political theory as much as our runaway ficticious business entity. And to corporatism I add the Foundations whose transparency was similarly granted the same rights. Foundations as a corporate business form used those shields first on a national scale. I don't have the hypothesis examined that those were also extended in global trade agreements but I'd make the bet they fully were.

"The imperial trading blocs, with their tariffs, imperial preferences, currency zones, and closed markets, were impediments to capitalism’s globalization, not its expression."

Hello Do Not Comply. You said it all right here: "It was this Dutch Empire, that invented the basic architecture that our later powers have been able to refine. So, in this model we are experiencing, we had a private company—the Dutch East India Company—that captured the profits from global extraction. Later, the British Empire copied the model almost exactly, substituting the Bank of England and the British East India Company, and used naval supremacy to lock in the arrangement." [End quote]

Yes. The *official* corporate model begins with the East India Trading Company, yet the resource theft/extraction model begins much earlier. The *corporate* model utilizes the same piracy model as that of Mediterranean sea raiders of the Phoenician empire. "Trade" and banking have always been dictated and financed via extortion. No one wants to shut down the company store, because they're all invested in it...

The Do Not Comply Guy's avatar

Yes, the bloodlines, their methods and their story stretches back further back in time...we could say much of the same about the Egyptians, Hittites...

Stephen Verchinski's avatar

The Company is now, These Corporations. The scale and their lack of transparency and usurpation of the Bill of Rights is so far off the charts. They get taxed but not as biological persons but have their own ficticious business entity cutout as one quick point. Imagine taxed identically. That would make an interesting paper. Any bets the USA debt would have been zero?

As I read this, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt that you were simply, more or less, giving a report on Bolton's book. But as I finished, I saw no disclaimer by you. So I'm somewhat forced to think that you somehow agree with him ...?? If so, my friend, IMO you've simply jumped into an amazingly dark hole of twisted information. You really need to do more study before you tie your wagon to this dark horse, and especially before you present it as though it's truth to your readership!

I won't go into more detail as it would require much more writing than I'm prepared or energized to do. I will point to one obvious detail that you don't seem to understand, at least not its importance. You speak of "Britain." But Britain itself was never really that powerful. The power was all concentrated in the City of London, the oligarchs of which, then billionaires, now trillionaires, never gave a shit about Britain or the UK or its peoples anywhere. They considered them mere chattel like the rest of the world and they had no particular concern for the country they lived in.

A second detail has to do with Bolton's trying to convince us that people like the Rockefellers, JPMorgan, Rhodes, Milner, et al, were not all a part of the Rothschild gang. Likewise, trying to make the IMF, World Bank, et al, anything other than key financial control functions of the City of London requires a complete re-writing of all evidential history. And those are, as they say, jacks for starters.

Maybe you find it interesting when you come across books or other writings that contradict what you've studied about the British Empire, more accurately the Financial Empire of the City of London (I'm assuming by your comments that you have studied it, correct?). I also like to read information that might contradict what I have believed, as my bottom line goal is always to know the truth, as best I can. But when you let Bolton state such things as I pointed out above as though they are obvious truths without so much as throwing up a red-flag warning to the reader to study it long and hard before believing it, that really worries me about you.

I agree to a point, but the review of the transfer of power from the European centres to New York through the Twentieth Century is useful. it improves the resolution of the picture from a 480p screen to an Apple 5K.

We don't see the Rothschilds as clearly here as in, say, <escapekey.substack.com>'s essays earlier this year on Robert Maxwell and Epstein. Originally the Rothschilds had banks and family members in five different European markets. Technology progressively reduced the need for this dispersal as communication became faster, cheaper, and more distributed. (cf. Warren Buffett in Omaha with a jet and a telephone.)

Your second-last paragraph is important. To use a chess analogy, there are people on the board whom we see. and the actual players who are not visible.

The advent of the Rockefellers into the controlling group was not surprising- wealth is produced through energy and John D. had some grip there.

The desired endgame is global governance controlled by and beholden to one group, partially concealed, but pursuing the goal relentlessly. I see a planned population of half a billion humans and possibly "A Handmaid's Tale" social structure.

Further reading, such as "I Was an Economic Hitman", described the arrangement at the lower level. It does look very similar to the Chinese techniques in their Belt and Road Initiative. I continue to wonder how the Chinese elites fit the globalist programme.

Can't recall offhand the CFR member who wrote The Perfect Police State but it does shed light on life at the far reaches of the Belt and Road Initiative. The Chinese Elites seem to love how the rollout of Skynet and how it is working to control workers for their own version of The Corporation. Then of course how the megacorporation is really when you look at it, it's their nation state. Xi is but a hardly accountable to anyone CEO.

Once again, without trying to give a full answer (ie, write a book), no country is monolithic in terms of who makes the rules, who wants them, who believes them, who supports them financially. The fact is that there was a from its beginnings a powerful and well financed group within the 13 colonies and then the US as it grew that remained agents of the British / City of London Empire whose job it was to bring it back into the fold. The fact that they were in the US does not make them "Americans" nor make what they did and wanted what most "real" Americans wanted. And even then, as now, most Americans had no idea who these people were or what they were doing.

Nicely done historical recap !!

To misparaphrase Clausewitz, "Trumpism is Trumanism by other means." [Not so far off from Smedley's "War is a Racket"]. Since the 1884 myth of corporate personhood in the USA, the oligopoly (oilopoly) has ruled unimpeded.

Reminds me of two powerful songs: Bruce Cockburn's "They Call it Democracy"

And Jackson Browne's "Lives in the Balance"

Thank you.
