Nineteenth-century
militaries are organized around "foraging" principles.
Soldiers
extensively interact with locals to acquire supplies in the
conflict.
The Great War ushers in
a new systematized method of waging
warfare dependent on logistics which
avoids personal contact with the
populace.
As of World War I supplies
are shipped directly to the combat zone from centralized distribution
tremendously reducing personal contact with
locals.
High levels of mechanization separate
the two groups 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

colonial government unless they adopt French citizenship.
1912 A tram driven by an Italian knocks down and
kills an eight-year-old Tunisian Arab child at Bab Saadoun.
Tunisian
Arabs refused to ride on the city trams until a series of demands were
met.
The boycott, though unsuccessful, is considered an important step
in the development of the Tunisian nationalist movement.

5 pm April 12,
1915
A dense fog drifts toward the Allied trenches.
5,000
metal cylinders of liquid chlorine are cracked open and
a deadly wall of Bayer
chartreuse mist descends down on the French lines at Ypres.
Five
miles long, as tall as a man, the greenish-yellow fog is inescapable.
The chlorine sears eyes - burns like vaporous flames at the nose, mouth
and throat leaving 15,000 causalities - one third dead, the rest
cripples.

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
It was illegal for American
passengers to be aboard a ship carrying munitions.
The Imperial German

passengers that the ship is carrying munitions and telling them not to cross
the Atlantic.

"The enormous fortune of
Ernest Cassel (a
close advisor of Edward VII) joined 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.
House of Rothschild always knew more than could be found in the papers
and reports which arrived at the Foreign Office.
In other countries the
relations of the Rothschilds
extend to the throne.
Numerous diplomatic publications appeared
after the war revealing how strongly the hand of
Alfred de
Rothschild affected the politics of Central Europe during the twenty years
before the war." - Paul Emden
July 1, 1916
Nearly two million British artillery rounds bombard No Man's
Land.
The Allied attack began early in the morning.
Swaths
of broken ground prove ideal for machine gun emplacements.
British
casualties by the end of that first day are in excess of 57,000, over 19,000
dead, resulting in the loss of an entire generation of young men.

It was their supreme revenge
on Christianity." - Colonel C. Repington
"The responsibility for the
last World War rests solely upon the shoulders of the international

"In 1933 came the attempt by the Morgan firm to
install a fascist dictatorship in the US.
It was planned to be
a Fascist putsch to take
over the government and run it under a dictator on behalf of America's bankers
and industrialists.
A courageous individual emerged -
General Smedley Darlington
Butler, who blew the whistle on the Wall Street conspiracy." - Anthony

"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, 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 Nations takes
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.
"The Ore
Mountains area played an important role in contributing Bronze Age ore, and
as the setting of the earliest stages of the early modern transformation of
mining and metallurgy from a craft to a large-scale industry.
The Ore
Mountains are extremely rich in both tin, copper, silver and lead
ores.
As early as 2500 BC in Únĕtice culture we find highly
developed mining industry.
Tin mining knowledge spread to other
European tin mining districts from Erzgebirge and evidence of tin mining begins
to appear in Brittany, Devon and Cornwall, and in the Iberian Peninsula around
2000 BC." - Goran Pavlovic
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 Hungary -
Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Croatia-Slavonia, Dalmatia, Slovenia, and Vojvodina are gifted
to Serbia to form the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, later
Yugoslavia.
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.
