World War I

Nineteenth-century militaries are organized around "foraging" principles.

Soldiers extensively interact with locals to acquire supplies in the conflict zone.

World War I ushers in a new systematized method of waging warfare which avoids personal contact with the occupied populace.

During and after World War I supplies are shipped directly to the combat zone from centralized distribution tremendously reducing personal contact with locals.

Higher levels of mechanization also separate the occupier from the occupied - with steel plate.

"When you get into an MRAP, you have one person who has the ability to connect to the people - up in the gunner's seat." - Lt. Gen. David Rodriguez

May 7, 1915 Sinking of the RMS Lusitania

"The Morgan interests, in concert with Winston Churchill, tried to bring the US into World War I as early as 1915 and succeeded in doing so in 1917.

Woodrow Wilson knew four days before hand that the Lusitania was carrying six-million rounds of ammunition plus explosives.

The British Board of Inquiry under Lord Mersey was instructed by the British Government "it is considered politically expedient that Captain Turner, master of the Lusitania, be prominently blamed for the disaster."

The blame is more fairly attributed to President Wilson, "Colonel" House, JP Morgan, and Winston Churchill; this conspiratorial elite should have been brought to trial for willful negligence, if not treason." - Anthony Sutton

"The enormous fortune of Ernest Cassel (one of King Edward VII closest advisors) amalgamated the firm of Vickers Sons with the Naval Construction Company and the Maxim-Nordenfeldt Guns and Ammunition Company, a fusion from which there arose the worldwide firm of Vickers Sons and Maxim.

The House of Rothschild always knew more than could be found in the papers and even more than could be read in the reports which arrived at the Foreign Office.

In other countries the relations of the Rothschilds extend to the throne.

Not until numerous diplomatic publications appeared in the years after the war did a wider public learn how strongly the hand of Alfred de Rothschild affected the politics of Central Europe during the twenty years before the war." - Paul Emden

"The shoe people sold Uncle Sam 35,000,000 pairs of hobnailed service shoes. There were 4,000,000 soldiers. Eight pairs, and more, to a soldier.

My regiment during the war had only one pair to a soldier.

The leather people sold Uncle Sam hundreds of thousands of McClellan saddles for the cavalry.

But there wasn't any American cavalry overseas!

Somebody had a lot of mosquito netting.

They sold Uncle Sam 20,000,000 mosquito nets for the use of the soldiers overseas.

Well, not one of these mosquito nets ever got to France!

Anyhow, these thoughtful manufacturers wanted to make sure that no soldier would be without his mosquito net, so 40,000,000 additional yards of mosquito netting were sold to Uncle Sam.

$1,000,000,000 was spent by Uncle Sam in building airplane engines that never left the ground!

Not one plane, or motor, out of the billion dollars worth ordered, ever got into a battle in France.

Undershirts for soldiers cost 14¢ to make and uncle Sam paid 30¢ to 40¢ each for them – a nice little profit for the undershirt manufacturer.

And the stocking manufacturer and the uniform manufacturers and the cap manufacturers and the steel helmet manufacturers – all got theirs.

Why, when the war was over some 4,000,000 sets of equipment – knapsacks and the things that go to fill them – crammed warehouses.

One very versatile patriot sold Uncle Sam twelve dozen 48-inch wrenches.

There was only one nut ever made large enough for these wrenches.

That is the one that holds the turbines at Niagara Falls!

Still another had the brilliant idea that colonels shouldn't ride in automobiles, nor should they even ride on horseback.

One has probably seen a picture of Andy Jackson riding in a buckboard.

Well, some 6,000 buckboards were sold to Uncle Sam for the use of colonels!

Not one of them was used.

The shipbuilders made a lot of profit.

More than $3,000,000,000 worth.

Some of the ships were all right.

But $635,000,000 worth of them were made of wood and wouldn't float!

The seams opened up – and they sank.

The most crowning insolence of all the soldier was virtually blackjacked into paying for his own ammunition, clothing, and food by being made to buy Liberty Bonds.

Most soldiers got no money at all on pay days.

They bought Liberty Bonds at $100 and sold them back – when they came back from the war and couldn't find work – at $84 and $86.

And the soldiers bought about $2,000,000,000 worth of these bonds!" - Major General Smedley Darlington Butler USMC, War is a Racket!

War Treaty of Versailles

Under the War Treaty of Versailles, Poland is given a "corridor" to the Baltic Sea, along with large areas of West Prussia populated by Germans.

This "corridor" completely separates East Prussia making trade and communication difficult to impossible.

During Allied discussions on the peace treaty, David Lloyd George, then British Prime Minister, tapped this spot on the map and echoed the words of his secretary said an evening before; "This is where the next world war will begin!"

Alsace-Lorraine is given back to France;

Saar region coal mines are forcibly brought under French Protectorate;

Eupen, Malmedy, Moresnet, and St. Vith is gifted to Belgium;

Northern Schleswig is gifted to Denmark;

West Prussia, Danzig, Posen and Upper Silesia are gifted to Poland.

Rhineland and Memel are brought under the League of Nations and people of these regions were to vote in future, to decide whether they want to remain in Germany or not.

League of Nationstakes control of land won by Germany under Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.

Some of this land is gifted to Poland and some made into the new states of Estonia, Lithuania and Latavia.

The Habsburg empire is first cut into two separate countries; Austria and Hungary who then had to sign two separate treaties; Austria is forced to sign Treaty of Saint Germain; Hungary is forced to sign Treaty of Trianon.

Several Pieces of Hapsburg empire - Hultschin(Hlucín), Opava (Glubczyce), Bohemia, Moravia, Opava Silesia and the western part of Duchy of Cieszyn, Slovakia and Carpathian Ruthenia form the new Czechoslovakia.

Several pieces of Austria - Galicia, eastern part of Duchy of Cieszyn, northern county of Orava and northern Spisz are gifted to Poland.

Several pieces of Austria - Bolzano-Bozen and Trieste are gifted to Italy.

Several pieces of Habsburg Empire Austria-Hungary - Transylvania and Bukovina are gifted to Romania.

All states of Eastern Europe became the hub of large national minorities.

One eighth of ethnic Germans find themselves in the newly forged countries.

¹⁄₃ of ethnic Hungarians are living outside of Hungary as minorities.

From its borders before World War I, Hungary lost 72% of its territory, which was reduced from 325,111 square kilometers (125,526 sq mi) to merely 93,073 square kilometers (35,936 sq mi).

It also lost 64% of its total population, which was reduced from 20.9 million to 7.6 million, and 31% (3.3 out of 10.7 million) of ethnic Hungarians suddenly found themselves living outside the newly defined borders of Hungary.

Hungary lost five of its ten most populous cities and was deprived of direct access to the sea and of some of its most valuable natural resources.

The total sum due to be paid by Germany as war reparations was decided by an Inter-Allied Reparations Commission at 269 billion gold marks (the equivalent of around 100,000 tonnes of pure gold).

This web site is not a commercial web site and is presented for educational purposes only.

This website defines a new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."

This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation does not occur at the point of a gun.

American social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
