This is a video excerpt from Jason Bermas’ blockbuster documentary “Invisible Empire”. This video goes into the power and influence that are held by the Council on Foreign Relations, as the American branch of the Royal Institute of International Affairs, of London. The Royal Institute of International Affairs was established around 1920 at Chatham House in London by Lord Alfred Milner and his Round Table Group, who were one of the dominant cliques in the Anglo-Venetian oligarchy during the first half of the 20th century. Their founder was of course Cecil Rhodes who, under Prince Edward, and along with Lord Nathan and Lord Milner, ran the British South Africa Co., assumed control over most of the gold and diamonds of South Africa, and then led the Boer War to take over that whole territory – but also to lay the groundwork for a whole new game of rivalries and alliances in Europe, and that would eventually lead to WWI.
These men’s ultimate project was, as written by their close associate Lionel Curtis in his books, or by their official historian Professor Carroll Quigley in his works, to create a global, fresh faced British Empire: a global commonwealth of all the nations of the world, bound together by finance and trade, and by institutional and cultural bonds, under City of London aristocratic rule.
The Royal Institute was established to be a key facilitating vehicle for this design. It was designed to streamline policy-making in international affairs for Britain and the British Empire. It was also designed to simultaneously create a whole international network of endowed, elite institutes, committees and institutions in other powers and countries – being that all of these would then connect with the other levers of power in their respective societies, and work with Anglo-Venetian banking and mercantile interests to acquire all relevant decision-making power. An institutional co-optation, takeover and management system, if you will.
A key concern of these people was always media, since it was well understood that, to influence and direct society, you must first influence how and what people think (their opinions, beliefs, attitudes, values, etc.) and, therefore, how they act.
In the U.S.A., Chatham House’s main branch is the Council on Foreign Relations, established under J.P. Morgan patronage and funding (being Morgan was the key ally to City of London interests in America back then). This means that an America that is run under the Council’s influence and directions, as it has been for quite a while, is one that has been, whether she knows it or not, reverted back to colonial status.
Ever since its inception, some 100 years ago, the Chatham House network of institutes has become global, and it is one of the essential soft power nexuses in the world today. It constitutes a tangled worldwide web of interconnected institutions, foundations, forums, councils, civil society organizations, conferences, etc., engaging in such areas as international relations, monetary policy, trade and commerce, strategic studies and security agendas, psychosocial and cultural studies, science and technology. These partner and work with finance banking and with industry, advise governments and international agencies, coordinate civil society networks.
Although the operational epicenter for this is the City of London, some key institutional nexuses are also based in places like Paris, Basel, Geneva, Rome, Frankfurt, N.Y., Madrid, etc.
Until you understand this network and the web it weaves, a web that has become superimposed on the idea of globalization itself, you won’t understand the world you live in and where it’s meant to go – what it’s meant to be led into.
