Friends of Eustace Mullins Society * (RIP 1923 - 2010) * A Job Well Done Nov 11, 2008
This site's real hero is the revolutionary poet Ezra Weston Loomis Pound. It's because of Ezra's unwavering pursuit of Truth and Justice, at great personal sacrifice, that today we have the research and written blueprint available of how a small group of international bankers took over our small planet, and how they are currently in the process of solidification of their grasp and are instigating the final steps in taking over our world. In this process they will soon intentionally destroy a large portion of the human race. Death and destruction is nothing new to these people. It's their means of achievement of power and control over others.
Ezra started Eustace on the road to documenting this information concerning the planetary takeover. When the real NWO comes on line, (not Rothschilds) their first two Peace Prize's should go to Ezra Pound and Eustace Mullins.
Ezra Pound had a number of protégées. Although he was repeatedly passed over, a number of his students received the Nobel Prize. T.S. Eliot, Ernest Hemingway, William Butler Yeats were some.
Because of Ezra’s patriotic efforts to expose the background instigation of World War II on the radio from Italy, he was arrested in Italy for treason, brought back to the United States for trial, because he really wasn’t guilty of anything, and because the "powers that be" did not want what he was talking about to come out in a court of law, he was found insane by eight certified federal psychiatrists, confined to the federally owned and operated St. Elizabeth’s Hospital for the Insane, atop a hill in Washington, DC, to rot for the rest of his life.
Pound was brought back to the United States and confined within St. Elizabeth's at the request of president Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Obviously the people that had put Roosevelt in office didn’t appreciate being exposed by Ezra’s brilliant mind and fiery tongue .
To give you an idea of how Ezra viewed economics and politics and why he ended up in St. Elizabeth's, we quote from Wikipedia:
Ezra Pound was visited almost daily for many years by his protegé, a Library of Congress researcher named Eustace Mullins. His wife, Dorthy Shakespear Pound, was also a permanent fixture at her husbands side. It was Pound who commissioned Mullins, at $10 per week, to write a book about the history of the Federal Reserve and to tell it like a detective story. Pound believed that the bankers in charge (owners) of the Federal Reserve and their associates (same owners) in the Bank of England were responsible for getting the United States into both World Wars, in an effort to drive up government debt beyond sustainable levels (the national debt indeed rose astronomically because of the wars). The book, Secrets Of The Federal Reserve, exposes the details of how bankers hide behind the screen of the central banks and pull political strings to drive countries into the war, creating immense profits for themselves as the principal beneficiaries of wartime debt.
Pound advocated an abandonment of the current system of money being created by private bankers. He favored government issued currency with no interest to pay, preventing the need for an income tax and national debt, much like the system used by the Pennsylvania Colony from 1723 to 1764. Pound argued that his views on money aligned with those of Thomas Jefferson, as well as with Benjamin Franklin's Colonial Scrip.
A short comment from Ezra...
Good day. I’m communicating to you from the Great Beyond. Some call it the Heaven realms, others the Astral plane, but for my purposes the Great Beyond is a fine description.
The identifying tag I used in my last earthly incarnation was Ezra Pound. I enjoyed poetry in that life but was very much concerned about a small group of very nasty individuals that had taken control of the planet. These people used war as a means to keep that control and grow richer and richer with the ticking of the clock. This is a subject that took up a lot of my time.
It was my efforts to expose these people and their system of control that got me thrown into St. Elizabeth’s Hospital for the Insane at the command of the president of the United States of America, Franklyn D. Roosevelt.
It was in the federal government’s St. Elizabeth’s hospital that Dr. Walter Freeman, "father of the lobotomy", tried to get a piece of my mind. But because of my good standing in the international community, combined with some common sense on my part, I never let him use me as practice. He did get to go off to Kentucky one time where he performed over 1,100 lobotomies. I suspect that it was easy pickens for the good doctor, because of the isolation of that state, and also because hillbillies would find it difficult to stop a rampaging doctor with a sharp knife and high level political connections in Washington, DC.
So you can well understand that I was relieved when, after 12 years, I was released from the cell I lived in by result of the long efforts of my good friend, Eustace Mullins. Because of Eustace’s past effort and friendship, I’ve decided to help his friends establish Friends of Eustace Mullins Society. I’ll be making comments and suggestions from time to time.
Eustace identified the Problem after many long years of daily research in the publication of his Secrets of the Federal Reserve.
I’ll be telling you about the Solution to the Problem that Eustace documented so well in the near future. It’s important information. So stay tuned. The world doesn’t have much time to loose on foolishness any longer. Come back often because I’ll make sure new information is added to keep you interested and informed.
And remember Eustace Mullins wrote the ONLY Authorized Biography of myself, he titled it, This Difficult Individual, Ezra Pound (I’ve heard it’s quite interesting)
"... drop in some day at your convenience . . . to discuss this difficult individual,
Ezra Pound . . ."
-- Christian Herter, Under Secretary of State,
in a letter to Dr. Winfred Overholser,
Superintendent of St. Elizabeths Hospital, January 2, 1958.

CONGRESSMAN RON PAUL NOTE:
A question to ask is just why does Ron Paul acknowledge and publicly comment on G. Edward Griffin's book, Creature from Jekyll Island? This book was published in 1994 and is a direct plagiarization of Eustace Mullin's Secrets of the Federal Reserve, published in 1952 yet barely a mention of Eustace is made in this spin edition of Eustace's original work.
Another point, Edward Griffin's was sponsored by the John Birch Society where he gave many talks about his book when it was published. The John Birch Society was funded into existence by Nelson Rockefeller, an owner of the Federal Reserve Bank, Inc?
see... http://www.rense.com/general39/EUSTACE.htm
So the question of Ron Paul arises when he makes no mention on the true source of the the information on the organization he supposedly wants to abolish, yet embraces an author and book produced (in)directly by the efforts of the Rockefeller clan.
Is Ron Paul's function to distract and give hope while the NWO is installed? Seems to me to be that way.
It took me a while to digest this point myself when Eustace first mentioned it to me..

Midday today Eustace Clarence Mullins, Jr. passed on to the higher realms where he will be joining his good friend, poet Ezra Pound. Less than two weeks ago Eustace suffered a stroke which resulted in his passing today.
Eustace's body will be transported to Stanton, Virginia by his close friend and traveling companion Jesse Lee. Eustace has surviving relatives that live in the Stanton area.
Thanks primarily to the singular effort of Jesse Lee, the last two years of Eustace's life have been one of adventure, camaraderie, and the continuation of Eustace Mullins' educational efforts to inform people of the great deception that has been perpetrated by a handful of individuals, a deception that is rapidly bringing this planet to what will become officially known as World War III.
More will be added to this site in the near future concerning Eustace Clarence Mullins Jr.
For the moment, God bless and keep Eustace in a warm friendly embrace. He has earned this rest. And Eustace will be greatly missed by his many friends.

KASPAR HAUSER, FREEMASONS, MARX, KU KLUX KLAN
CHAPTER 11
WHO WAS KASPAR HAUSER?
In the beginning of the 19th century on old prophecy started to fulfill itself. According to probably the highest Tibetan secret society, the “dGe-lugs-pa” (Yellow Hats), the point where the VRIL power, the power that runs the universe, hits the planet and emerges would shift from Tibet, the “Roof of the World”, to the “Land of the Midnight Mountain” – to Germany. That’s the reason why the Tibetans always supported Germany and became the secret founders of the Third Reich.
In this prophecy, as well as in the prophecy of Jesus (which you will find in the chapter about the Thule Society), it is said that the new “Licht-Reich” (realm of light) will emerge from Germany and therefore the power of the Jews will be taken away from them.
Compare Matthew 21:43, where Jesus addressed the JEWS:
“Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to people who will produce its fruit.”
It was said that a child would be born that would unite all Europe without a war, but through love. This child would be a spiritual master, similar to Jesus, and therefore would be THE enemy of the Jews.
This child was born on the day of Michael, the 29th of September 1812, in Karlsruhe as the son of Grand Duke Karl and his wife, Stephanie de Beauharnais, the adopted daughter of Napoleon, and therefore was the successor to the throne of the House of Baden – the GERMAN EMPEROR!!
But the Illuminati Freemasons and the Black Nobility knew about him and had to make this child disappear. The French Grand Orient Lodge of Freemasons kidnapped the boy, but they couldn’t just murder him. If they would have killed the physical body, the vehicle of this soul, the soul would simply have chosen another body, maybe one year later, and would have taken the throne anyway. So they had to keep this soul trapped in the body and prevent it from taking on its task. Therefore, the Freemasons kept the child somewhere in normal conditions until the age of two and a half, when the child showed its first signs of memory (that’s the time when the soul gets fixed within the physical body).
Then the Masons had the child put in a metal cage in a cellar, without any light at all, from two and half until fifteen (twelve and a half years!). But this wasn’t enough torture yet: The cage was so small that the boy could neither stretch his legs out nor stand up, and therefore his limbs grew at angles. As you will see later, this is a typical Masonic ritual. Freemasons speak in symbols, and every form of punishment has its symbols to show the other Masons what the person has been punished for. So, in this case they chose the square which is one of the Masonic symbols, compass and square.
After twelve and a half years of living in this cage without any light, with just water and bread, the Freemasons thought that they had won and taught the child forty spoken words and haw to write the name Kaspar Hauser. They left the child on the streets in the middle of Nuremberg and thought that he would be absolutely lost.
First Kaspar was put in prison for a few hours because he could not speak, was not used to light, had never consciously seen a human being, could not walk right – he just had a very unusual behavior. But the chief of police immediately saw that this boy was not a criminal at all, because he was a very beautiful child, and he saw that something unusual had happened to him. So Kaspar was given to a family of a friend of the chief of police, who took on Kaspas as their own child.
But then things started to happen. This child was very unusual. After half a year Kaspar could speak pretty well, and he started to draw. He was a very correct child, intensely tidy, he wore the most proper clothing, everything in his room had its proper place. He had a brilliant memory they had never seen in another child; he remembered every word that had been said by every person he had met, knew the clothing they had worn that day. But he had even more phenomena to show.
Besides being such a beautiful boy he was extremely telepathic. He knew what other people thought of, knew who the person was behind his back, 450 feet away, and what he was doing; he saw at night better than during the day, but most important was his being. He was such a gentle, loving being that everybody who met him just had to like him and became a different person. So he became known as the “miracle child of Europe”, and people from all over came to see him. Then, at the age of eighteen, he started to write this first biography (imagine this, after all he could not speak nor write nor do much else at fifteen). Imagine a normal child being imprisoned for twelve and a half years without any light.
So the Grand Orient Freemasons saw that this child was too powerful and that it would take him probably just another few months to realize who he really was and that he finally would take on his title anyway. So they had one of their members, Lord Stanhope, get into Kaspar Hauser’s life. Stanhope took him away from his adoptive parents and got him to the teacher Meyer in Ansbach who was very cruel to him.
There he was taught to lie and talk about other people. But Kaspar was still bothering the Illuminati, so, on the 17th of October 1829, they tried to kill him the first time in a kosher way, by cutting his throat, another type of ritual murder the Freemasons use which they have adopted from the Jews. But the assassin didn’t cut the throat, he cut the forehead, probably because it was too dark. Kaspar’s reaction the next day was forgiveness for the assassin. He was not even angry at him.
But then, on the 14th of December 1833, the Masons were successful. Kaspar was stabbed with a knife three times while he was walking out in the fields, and died three days later on the evening of the 17th .
But the most important incident is that on his deathbed Kaspar forgave his murderer, as Jesus on the cross had forgiven his murderers (actually the same group of people). This shows us who Kaspar Hauser really was – by his deeds we now know him. Kaspar’s task was to unite Europe in peace, to bring forth a different “New World Order”, and order of love and respect.
So, again the Illuminati had been successful with their plan, but just on the surface. The same that happened through of Jesus, happened again through the death of Kaspar Hauser, and it affected the whole world, even if one can’t recognize it immediately. One cannot kill a spiritual master and just think “that’s that”!

CHAPTER 12
THE FREEMASONS IN AMERICA
After the ROSICRUCIANS had founded their first colony in 1694 in what today is Pennsylvania, the Freemasons proceeded to establish their first lodges around 1730, with the consent of the Mother Grand Lodge in England.
The founding of the United States of America is the result of the secret work by Freemasons over hundreds of years. The American War of Independence had been organized and fought by Freemasons, and the Constitution of the U.S. had been penned and signed by Freemasons. About one third of the American Presidents were Freemasons, and they are well represented in Congress, both in the Senate and in the United States Representatives.
The Great seal of the United States with the Pyramid with the all-Seeing Eye on the reverse side, the Phoenix (which in 1841 was replaced by the Bald Eagle) on the obverse and the original Star-Spangled Banner with 13 stripes and 13 stars are all old and important Freemason symbols, which, although they had been designed on behalf of the ROTHSCHILDS and put in place by WEISHAUPT, in their symbolism hark back to ancient Egypt. The design of the Illuminati-dollar pyramid is by Phillip Rothschild, as his lover Ayn Rand divulged in her book “Atlas Shrugged”.
After the War of Independence was over, the American Masonic lodges segregated from the English Mother Grand Lodge and created their proper American Grand Lodge. This comprised the York Rite with ten degrees (the tenth is a Templar degree) and the Scottish Rite with thirty-three.
Most Freemasons think that there are no degrees higher than the thirty-third, but the members of that degree are later initiated into the Illuminati degrees (See No. 11 of the Protocols).
All “Grand Orient” lodges in Europe were already perfectly controlled by the Bavarian Illuminati. The Freemasons of America at this time were not infected by Weishaupt’s “Illuminism”. This only happened later.
Remarks on Today’s Situation:
One has to understand that perhaps 90% of all the organized Freemasons today have not the least idea what their highest leaders who are linked to the Illuminati are actually up to. Like other organizations the Freemasons are used as a blind to further spread the influence of the Illuminati.
Lyndon LaRouche describes them as follows:
“Outwardly the local Freemason lodges appear as what they mostly do. They are stag groups following certain charitable aims and use a secret handshake and other secret society hocus-pocus. But getting together they think they can set themselves up as important local figures. It is good for business, good for the career. The wives, too, have thus the right social environment and perhaps get to hear the newest gossip from the neighborhood. But at the top things are completely different. The simple lodge brother has no idea what happens at the top…”
(NEUE SOLIDARITAT, March 10,1993).
It is also interesting to note that while German Freemasons from Prussia entered the service of America, other German Freemasons supported England and thereby made fantastic profits. Almost 30,000 soldiers from six German states, more than half from Hesse-Hanau, were loaned to the English Government. In many battles there were more German than English soldiers fighting in the British army against the Americans. In the battle of Trenton for instance, there were only Germans fighting.
How about the financial state of the United States of America?
The U.S. President THOMAS JEFFERSON and BENJAMIN FRANKLIN were inimical to the establishment of a private central bank for the control of the U.S. currency. After Franklin’s death in 1790 the Rothschild agents got ALEXANDER HAMILTON appointed as secretary of the treasury. In 1791 he created the “FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF THE UNITED STATES”, the first central bank fashioned after the “Bank of England” and controlled by the Rothschilds.
In 1811, when the contract of the bank with the U.S. lapsed, the American economy was so destabilized that the contract was not renewed for five years. The Rothschilds then used their influence in the British Parliament to have England reclaim her colonies in America. This led to the 1812-1815 war. The war again put the U.S. so much in debt that they had to ask the bankers once more for loans (i.e. the central bank).
In 1836, under President Andrew Jackson, the central bank was again disapproved, but it got the concession back in 1863 and in 1913 became the “Federal Reserve Bank”, today’s central bank of the U.S. (more details will follow).
After the death of Mayer Amschel in 1812, Nathan had custody of the family’s fortune. In this position he opened the NATHAN MAYER ROTHSCHILD & SONS BANK in London, with branches in Vienna, Paris and Berlin. This bank dealt in stocks and loans, it insured government, it managed and controlled other banks, railroads, steel plants, arms productions and many more. In America it was represented by KUHN LOEB & CO., by J.P. MORGAN & CO. and by AUGUST BELMONT & CO.
Nathan kept this position in the family clan until he was poisoned at a family gathering in 1836. The reason for the meeting was the marriage of his so LIONEL ROTHSCHILD. Some say that Nathan was executed because he had helped himself to some of the family fortune.
His son LIONEL was very successful as the new boss of N.M. ROTHSCHILD & SONS and eventually became a Member of Parliament.
Jakob (James) Rothschild from the Paris branch was custodian of the family fortune from 1836 to 1868. He had been next in line after Nathan.
The Rothschilds together with the Bavarian Illuminati represented the financial power behind Zionism and later communism and they had started and financed many revolutions and wars.
For instance, did Rothschilds finance both sides of the Civil War in the U.S. between 18611865? From December 1860 to May 1861 eleven states whose economy depended on slavery (the Southern states) declared they wanted to leave the Union and formed the “Confederate States”. In April 1861 this led to the secession war against the remaining Union states in the north.
The reasons leading to this civil war were almost completely due to the actions and provocations of ROTHSCHILD AGENTS. One of those troublemakers was GEORGE BICKLEY, who had founded the “KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE”. The House of Rothschild then had Bickley and his knights extol the disadvantages of the Union for the Confederate States. In the remaining Union states the Rothschilds had J.P. Morgan and August Belmont praise the advantages of the Union.
The London Rothschild bank financed the North, the Paris bank the South. A fantastic business for the Rothschilds. If you finance both sides and support the arms as well, you can but win. Here, the Americans were the only losers, both the North and the South (Machiavelli sends his regards).
It happened though that President Lincoln saw through this and refused to pay the Rothschilds’ immense interests. He then asked Congress to have the Greenback dollars made in order to pay the Union troops.
This of course ran contrary to the plans of the Rothschilds and led to them having Lincoln murdered by their agent JOHN WILKES BOOTH on April 14, 1865. John W. Booth was later freed from jail by the Knights of the Golden Circle and spent the rest of his life quite comfortably in England, thanks to the handsome payment by Rothschild. After Lincoln’s death the greenbacks were withdrawn and later bought in at ridiculous price by the central bankers Morgan, Belmont and Rothschild.

CHAPTER 13
KARL MARX
A branch of the BAVARIAN ILLUMINATI that at the time was known as the ”League of the Just” and had come from one of the most successful revolutionary secret groups in France, the “SOCIETIES DES QUATRE SAISONS” (Society of the Four Season), enlisted two new members, the Jew MOSES MORDECHAI MARX LEVI (alias Karl Marx) and his friend, the industrialist FRIEDRICH ENGELS, who late wrote the “Communist Manifesto” for them.
Part of the manifesto came from their minds, but the largest section was the ideology of the “League of the Just” and other French secret societies who took a revolutionary stance towards France.
Gary Allen writes:
“In actual fact the ‘Communist Manifesto’ was in circulation for many years before Marx’s name was widely enough recognized to establish his authorship for this revolutionary handbook. All Karl Marx really did was to update or codify the very same revolutionary plans and principles set down seventy years earlier by Adam Weishaupt, the founder of the Order of Illuminati in Bavaria."
(None Dare Call It Conspiracy).
The “fight against capitalism” could now proceed. Thanks to his intellectual prowess Marx succeeded in changing the image of the league which in 1847 changed its name to “COMMUNIST LEAGUE”.
This now shows clearly how the Bavarian Illuminati created in England and in America “capitalist” systems and on the other hand “anti-capitalist”, i.e. “communist”, systems thus produced and to keep humanity in constant discord and therefrom confusion.

CHAPTER 14
THE PLAN FOR A WORLD GOVERNMENT
WEISHAUPT died in 1830 at the age of eighty-two. In 1834 GUISEPPE MAZZINI assumed leadership of the Bavarian Illuminati and held this position until his death In 1872.
While he was leading the order of the Bavarian Illuminati, Mazzini corresponded with the Satanist ALBERT PIKE, the “SOVEREIGN GRAND COMMANDER OF THE ANCIENT AND ACCEPTED SCOTTISH RITE OF FREEMASONRY”, of the Southern Jurisdiction of the U.S. and later the founder of the “KU KLUX KLAN”.
Mazzini had named Pike leader of operations of the Bavarian Illuminati in the U.S. As top illuminists the two worked together. Pike took on the theosophical aspects of their operations, Mazzini the political ones. When the Masonic Lodges of the Grand Orient got into disrepute in Europe due to the revolutionary activities of Mazzini, the latter presented Pike with a plan of genius.
In a letter to Pike, dated January 22, 1870, Mazzini wrote:
“We must allow all of the federations to continue just as they are, with their systems, their central authorities and their diverse modes of correspondence between high grades of the same rite, organized as they are at present, but we must create a super rite, which will remain unknown, to which we will call those Masons of high degree whom we shall select. With regard to our brothers in Masonry, these men must be pledged to the strictest secrecy, Through this supreme rite, we will govern all Freemasonry which will become the one international center, the more powerful because its direction will be unknown.”
(Occult Theocracy, Lady Queenborough, and None Dare Call It Conspiracy, Gary Allen).
Apparently this is the elite of the 33rd degree of the Scottish Rite. The Ideology of this degree is given in the next chapter.
In a letter of August 15, 1871 PIKE showed the Illuminati leader Mazzini in an outline how to conquer the world with three world wars, the way to establish “THE NEW WORLD ORDER”.
*
The FIRST WORLD WAR should be staged to bring Czarist Russia under the control of the Bavarian Illuminati. Russia should then be used as a “bogey man” to further the aims of the Bavarian Illuminati world-wide.
*
The SECOND WORLD WAR should be started by manipulating the differences between the German nationalists and the Political Zionists. This was to result in an expansion of Russian influence and the establishment of a State of Israel In Palestine.
*
The THIRD WORLD WAR was planned to result from the differences stirred up by Illuminati agents between the Zionists and the Arabs. The conflict was planned to span the world.
It is also part of the Third World to set Nihilists and Atheists against one another to provoke a social reversal by hitherto unknown savagery and brutality.
After the destruction of Christianity and Atheism one would show men the true “Luciferian Doctrine” and thereby kill two birds with one stone.
Remarks to Today’s Situation (by the author)
Having Russia as the bogey man (concept of the enemy) the Western nations should be forced into SUPRANATIONAL alliances they would not have entered by themselves (NATO, UN). Also having the former Russian empire as the enemy of the world tremendously helped international arms deals, which again profited the international bankers. This shows us that behind the Second World War there is yet a scenario completely DIFFERENT from what the HISTORY BOOK tell us.

CHAPTER 15
THE KNIGHTS OF THE KU KLUX KLAN
Here we have to deal again with ALBERT PIKE and the “Scottish Rite” of the Freemasons. Officially, the Masonic order of the “Scottish Rite” started in 1801 in the U.S. from a group of Tory followers. These however had cultivated anti-Christian and Satanic practices before. Since about 1840 the organizational structure of the American Freemasons was under the severe supervision of the “Scottish Rite”. The latter bestows initiation degrees up to the 33rd degree. It is divided into a Southern Jurisdiction in Arkansas and a northern jurisdiction in Boston.
As an instrument of strategy for the CROWN (explained in the next chapter), the “Scottish Rite” conducted in the middle of the last century an incessant offensive of murder and racist terror against the U.S. and the neighboring states. The most important incidences were the American occupation of Mexico during the Mexican War (1846-1848), the rebellion of the slave-holders, i.e. the Civil War (1861-1865) and the crusade of the Ku Klux Klan against the rebuilding of the Southern States (1867-1870)
The “KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE” founded by George Bickley appeared here for the first time, in Cincinnati, under the leadership of KILIANEN VAN RENSSELAERS. The “Golden Circle” was to establish a new empire of slavery with Cuba as its center. It was their objective to kill the hated Catholic Hispanics in order to replace them with black slaves fresh from Africa. This was the first “North American Free Trade Treaty”.
The seal of the “KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE” was identical to that of the “KNIGHTS OF MALTA” the Maltese Cross. The “Knights of the Golden Circle” eventually disappeared. In 1867 Albert Pike founded in Nashville the “ORDER OF THE KNIGHTS OF THE KU KLUX KLAN” (GREEK KYKLOS = CIRCLE), he was the “Great Dragon” and thus their leader. So here they were again, the “Knights of the Golden Circle”
The KKK also uses the Maltese Cross as its emblem and it is led by prominent Freemasons. If one looks at the racist and inhuman goals of the KKK and from these deducts the “inner being” of its founder and its members, then one has to question whether one writes about members of the human species at all.
The KKK uses force to keep their voting rights from black citizens, to disallowing them to own arms, to discriminate against schools teaching black children and to lower the standard of living of blacks to a level that equals that of slavery. The interesting thing is that nowadays the KKK is almost totally financed by the MOSSAD (Israeli secret service)
In the “Jewish” community the independent order “B'NAI B'RITH” was established in 1843. The “B’nai B’rith”, a Zionist secret lodge, is counted among the Masonic lodges. The term “B’nai B’rith” means “Sons of the Alliance”. It claims the leadership of world Judaism.
Although most lodges of this order were in the North of the U.S., the “B’nai B’rith” openly took the side of the Confederates. Many speakers of the order in the North vociferously defended slavery and were still working for the goals of the Confederates after the Civil War.
Remarks to Today’s Situation:
The “ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE” (ADL) which is linked to the “B”NAI B”RITH” recently started a campaign to defame leading American black politicians as anti-Semites. Thus they aimed at fanning racial conflict and to negatively influence the positive attitude of Jewish Americans who up to then had helped the blacks. The ADL also openly opposed the KKK, yet it clamored in favor of the statue of Albert Pike (the KKK founder) which is still standing in Washington D.C., and it is openly linked to the “Scottish Rite”:
“We worship a God, but it is the God one adores without superstition. The Masonic religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine.
“If Lucifer were not God, would Adonai (the Christian God) whose deeds prove his cruelty, perfidy, and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion for science, would Adonai and his priests, calumniate him?
“Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately Adonai is also God. For the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two Gods. The doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and pure philosophic religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonai; but Lucifer, God of Light and God of God is struggling for humanity against Adonai, the God of darkness and evil.”
This quote can be looked up in the main Pike folder at the library of the “Scottish Rite” in Washington D.C. in French and in English.
Pike professed to be a Satanist and an agent of the CROWN, the “CITY” Pike bestowed in 1867 the 4th to the 32nd degree of the “Scottish Rite” upon U.S. President ANDREW JOHNSON. Thirty-nine days after the investiture of President Theodore Roosevelt who was himself an anglophile racist and Freemason, the statue of Albert Pike was erected in Washington D.C., where it stands until today.
[More] remarks on Today’s Situation:
We see that in a hierarchic order none but the leader is allowed free will. To attain a higher degree an aspirant has to fulfill conditions set by the next higher degree.
An example:
I show the aspirant a “white” book, yet I tell him that it is “black”. Now I ask him of what color the book is. If he answers “white”, he has failed, though if he says “black”, he is accepted to the next higher degree and thus to many more new tasks he has to fulfill like this one. Do you realize that all hierarchies of this world are set up like this? All school systems, almost all religions including Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Scientology – are similarly structured. Personal opinions, free development and independent thinking is not allowed, only the following of orders received from those in HIGHER POSITIONS.
And it does not matter whether it concerns the satanic doctrine – as in the quote by Pike, mentioned earlier – or the dogmas of the Catholic or Islamic (etc.) Churches. Those contemporaries who “knowingly” give up their free will and their proper responsibility and submit these to another person, organization or to a leader are not worthy of better treatment since today, especially in the so-called civilized countries, nobody is “forced” to join an organization or religion.
Or, as Anatole France wrote: “And if five million people say something stupid, it is nevertheless stupid!”
About President Bill Clinton, former Governor of Arkansas:
In a “Ku Klux Klan Special”, the German magazine Neue Solidaritat informs us that Parson W.O. VAUGHT was a Freemason in the 32nd degree of the Scottish Rite (i.e. Master of the Royal Secret). He was the spiritual teacher and actual foster-father of BILL CLINTON and collaborated with him. When he was governor of Arkansas, a state in which the spiritual tradition of Albert Pike is strongly rooted, Clinton supported capital punishment and allowed several executions to go ahead. In reality this means executing poor and blacks. Recently Vaught’s son said that Clinton and his parson agreed that their religious beliefs allowed the killing of prisoners and of unborn babies (especially black babies).
Clinton is also member of the “Council on Foreign Relations”, of the Trilateral Commission, of the “Bilderbergers” (more about their importance later), and member for life in the Masonic “Order of DeMolay for Boys”. Jacques de Molay was Grand master of the Knights Templar and was burnt at the stake on March 18,1314 in Paris.
According to the order’s literature the “Order of DeMolay” is led by “eminent Masons” and membership consists of sons of master Masons aged between fourteen and twenty-one who are taught the Seven Virtues: Filial Love, Reverence, Courtesy, Comradeship, Cleanness (of thought, word and deed), Fidelity and Patriotism. How much this corresponds to reality is a moot point.

CHAPTER 16
THE BLACK NOBILITY
Before going any further into the “big picture” we have to take a little detour again to make things a bit clearer.
For the following information I have to thank Ex- MI6 agent Dr. John Coleman for his tremendous research. He is the only one who ever wrote anything in English on the “Black Nobility”, and on the American continent he is a pioneer in this research. I met Dr. Coleman personally and tell you that he is sincere in his intention (I have my own personal faculty to “read” or “check” people). But he sure is holding back information, as I do, too, because we don’t want to lose our heads.
Dr. Coleman tells us about a term you won’t find in any ordinary book or dictionary: “The Black Nobility”. These are the oligarchic families of Venice and Genoa who in the 12th century held the privileged trading rights (monopolies).
Dr. Coleman:
“The first of three crusades, from 1063 to 1123, established the power of the Venetian Black Nobility and solidified the power of the wealthy ruling class. The Black Nobility aristocracy achieved complete control over Venice in 1171, when the appointment of the doge was transferred to what was known as the Great Council, which consisted of members of the commercial aristocracy, a complete triumph for them. Venice has remained in their hands ever since, but the power and influence of the Venetian Black Nobility extends far beyond its borders, and today, in 1986, is felt in every corner of the globe. In 1204 the oligarchic family parceled out feudal enclaves to their members, and from this epoch dates the great building-up of power and pressure until the government became a closed corporation of the leading Black Nobility families.”
The Black Nobility earned its title through dirty tricks, so when the population revolted against the monopolies in government, as anywhere else, the leaders of the uprising were quickly seized and brutally hanged. They use secret assassinations, murder, the bankrupting of opposing citizens or companies, kidnapping and rape. So, who are these families?
The most important ones are:
*
House of Guelph (Britain)
*
House of Wettin (Belgium)
*
House of Bernadotte (Sweden)
*
House of Liechtenstein (Liechtenstein)
*
House of Oldenburg (Denmark)
*
House of Hohenzollern (Germany)
*
House of Hanover (Germany)
*
House of Bourbon (France)
*
House of Orange (Netherlands)
*
House of Grimaldi (Monaco)
*
House of Wittelsbach (Germany)
*
House of Braganza (Portugal)
*
House of Nassau (Luxembourg)
*
House of Habsburg (Austria)
*
House of Savoy (Italy)
*
House of Karadjordjevic (Yugoslavia)
*
House of Wurttemberg (Germany)
*
House of Zogu (Albania)
As well as the ones you will find on the Family Tree of the Windsors. (Black Nobility Unmasked Worldwide, Dr. John Coleman, 1985)
All the families listed are connected with the House of Guelph, one of the original Black Nobility families of Venice from which the House of Windsor and thus the present Queen of England, Elisabeth II, descends.
The Guelphs are so intertwined with the German aristocracy through the House of Hanover that it would take several pages to mention all their connections. As you can see in this family tree, almost all European royal houses originate from the House of Hanover and thus from the House of Guelph – the Black Nobility. The Hanoverian English King George I came from the Duchy of Lunenberg, a part of Northern Germany, which had been governed by the Guelph family since the 12th century.
Today the Guelphs rule by dominating the raw materials market, and for years they have fixed the price of gold, a commodity they do neither produce nor own. The House of Windsor also controls the price of copper, zinc, lead and tin. And as you will see, it is no accident that the principle commodity exchanges are located in London. Companies run by Black Nobility families are British Petroleum, Oppenheimer, Lonrho, Philbro and others.
Another Black Nobility family are the Grosvenors in England. For centuries this family lived - as most of the European royal families – on ground rent. Today the family owns at least 300 acres of land in the center of London. The land is never sold, but leased on a 39 year leasehold agreement – the ground rent of the middle ages.
Grosvenor Square, in which the American Embassy is located, belongs to the Grosvenor family, as does Eaton Square. In Eaton Square apartments are rented out at 25,000 pounds a month, and that does not include maintenance costs. This will give you some idea of the immense wealth the Black Nobility families garner from ground rents, and why families like the Windsors are not at all interested in industrial progress along with the excess population it supports. This is the only reason why these “noble” families are behind most, if not all, of the wrong-headed Pro-environmental movements of the world that ultimately and covertly aim to curb population growth.
Prince Philip and Prince Charles are the most visible symbols of these movements and both have often spoken with the utmost callousness about the need to rid the world of unwanted people. (Black Nobility Unmasked Worldwide, Dr. John Coleman). So why do l mention the Black Nobility?
Because they are the founders of THE secret society of our day from which all the others are connected to the Illuminati originated from – the “Committee of 300”. As I will show you, the Club of Rome, the CFR, the RIIA, the Bilderbergers, the UN, the Round Table… all originate from the “Committee of 300” and therefore from the European Black Nobility families.
Well, here comes the most important point. Dr. Coleman has been perfectly right up to here.
He thinks that the European Black Nobility is the cause of all that is wrong. But, since at least the 17th century absolutely every European royal house has been infiltrated by JEWS. The House of Hanover seems to be German, but it is Jewish. So is the House of Habsburg.
So it wasn’t really the Germans who took over the British throne. Brilliant, isn’t it? (Sources: “Semi Goter” by Phillip Stauff and “Judenblut im deutshen Adel” - Jewish Blood in German Nobility by Otto Furst von Batailler)
Co-operating with the European Black Nobility are American families like the Harrimans and the McGeorge Bundys.

CHAPTER 17
THE ENGLISH ROYAL FAMILY AND THE OPIUM TRADE IN THE 18TH CENTURY
Before dealing with England at all, we have to clarify a few terms.
The QUEEN is the head of the Royal family, with the British colonial empire – with London as its capital – governed by the Prime Minister and the Cabinet.
But just like the Vatican being within Rome, there is a separate, independent state within London, the CITY. The CITY, which is called the richest square mile in the world, occupies just about that area in the heart of London (2.7 square Km.). It is said to have about 4,600 inhabitants and about a million jobs.
The government of the CITY is THE CROWN, comprised of thirteen members and led by the King of the CITY, the LORD MAYOR. Here one finds the richest and mightiest economic institutions of England, like the “Bank of England” controlled by the Rothschilds, Lloyd’s of London, the London Stock Exchange, the offices of many international merchant companies and Fleet Street, the center of newspapers and publishing.
The CITY does not belong to England. It is subject of neither the monarch nor the government of British Parliament. The CITY is the true government of England, as both the Queen and the Prime Minister are subordinate to the Lord Mayor and listen to him. By the façade of a Prime Minister and a cabinet the impression is given that these decide what happens, yet that are just puppets of the CITY.
If the Queen visits the CITY, she is met by the Lord Mayor at “Temple Bar” the symbolic gate to the CITY. She bows and asks permission to enter his private and sovereign state. He shows his approval by handing her the state sword. At state visits like this the Lord Mayor in his robe and chain eclipses the Queen, and her entourage are restricted to ordinary street clothes. Then he proceeds to lead the Queen who goes two steps behind him into the CITY.
As I mentioned earlier, the founding of the “Bank of England” was instigated by William Paterson who was a CITY agent. According to Des Griffin, the CITY is controlled by the Rothschild empire.
Thus, in order to void misinterpretations, we have to realize that in Great Britain there are two separately acting empires – the colonial empire under the royal family and the empire of the Crown. All colonies with a white population (Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and South Africa) were under the authority of the English government. All other colonies (India, Egypt, Bermuda, Malta, Singapore, HongKong, Gibraltar and the Central African colonies) were the private property of the CROWN, so-called CROWN COLONIES.
Of course there was co-operation, because the Windsor family is part of and the City belongs to the Black Nobility. During the building of the Empire the BRITISH EAST INDIA COMPANY (BEIC) made an immense fortune with the opium trade. The BEIC established the “China Inland Mission” whose main task was to get Chinese cheap laborers dependent on opium to create a market for their wares.
Members of the British royal family were so impressed by the immense profits that they collaborated with the BEIC. They began by taxing the opium producers in India. Huge amounts of opium were shipped from India on the “China Tea Clippers”, and around 13% of India’s income under the CROWN came from selling pure Bengal opium in China, supervised by them.
Surely the court did not want this shady episode exposed.
Therefore they involved the British Secret Services, the BRITISH MILITARY INTELLIGENCE DEPARTMENT (MI6) AND THE SECRET INTELLIGENCE SERVICE (SIS).
The MI6 goes back to Queen Elisabeth I under whom Sir Francis Walsingham became treasurer for the “Dirty Tricks” department of the MI6. Due to its several centuries of experience the MI6 is counted among the best secret services of the world. The BEIC was market leader in the opium trade until Chinese government prohibited the smoking of opium in 1729.
From 1791 to 1894 the number of licensed opium plantations grew under the Crown from 87 to 663. This finally led to the Opium War in China.
In 1729 the BEIC, as an arm of the Black Nobility, founded the “COMMITTEE OF 300” to simplify the handling of banking and commercial transactions. Today the “Committee of 300” is one of the most important secret organizations and is also working towards a “One World Government”. It is the so-called elite from the CITY. Later this “Committee of 300” developed tactics to overcome the Chinese anti-drug laws.
LORD INCHCAPE established the “P&O Shipping Company” and was the actual founder of the “Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank” that helped in covering up the opium trade. Other British banks involved in the drug trade are the British Bank of the Middle East, The Midland Bank, The National Westminster Bank, Barclays Bank, The Royal Bank of Canada and Baring Brothers Bank. All these banks are linked to the Rothschild banks by the “Committee of 300”.
When the Harriman railroad was being constructed to link California with the East of the U.S. thousands of Chinese cheap laborers were transshipped to work on the tracks. Many were already dependent on opium, and thus the market was extended to the U.S. HARRIMAN founded his railroad empire with financing from the “N.M. Rothschild & Sons Bank” in London.
There are good reasons to deduce that the Chinese opium-dependent laborers were intentionally used to extend the opium market to the U.S.
Remarks on Today’s Situation:
The Neue Solidaritat wrote in an article titled “The Queen and Narcotics” in its edition of September 8, 1993:
“It is rare, indeed, a pleasant surprise, to read in the British press news about the court that comes close to the truth. Last week such an item vied with the headlines on the front page of the London Times of August 27, 1993. The headline: “The Royal Family was ‘High’ in the Highlands”.
The article, based on a carefully researched report in the Scottish magazine Leopard, discloses that drugs and narcotics were used as a matter of course. From original documents the Leopard proved the Queen Victoria and her entourage, often the Churchill and Rothschild families, had standing orders fro sizeable quantities of cocaine, heroin and other narcotics with a highland pharmacy. The Times averred the same.
It said:
“Queen Victoria, the monarch with the severe mien, well-known for her “We are not amused” seems to have ordered enough cocaine and heroin for her Balmoral estate in Scotland to keep a whole Highland valley ‘high’.”
The papers of the pharmacy “show that the Royals and their guests were regularly supplied with considerable amounts of cocaine and heroin solutions.”

CHAPTER 18
BACKGROUND OF THE BOLSHEVIST REVOLUTION
Because of the many anti-Jewish laws in Europe, many Jews had no property and thus were forced to travel around. Whatever country they elected to be in, they encountered a closed front against them. At the end of the 19th century Czarist Russia was the only real obstacle left against the Illuminati ruling the world.
In 1881 Theodor Herzl, a Khazar Jew, again, founded the ZIONIST MOVEMENT in Odessa, Russia, in order to create a Jewish homeland in Palestine.
At a B’NAI B’RITH meeting in New York in 1916, Jacob Schiff, president of the Kuhn Loeb & Co. Bank, was elected president of the revolutionary “Zionist Movement in Russia”. On January 13, 1917, the Jew LEON TROTSKY (formerly Bronstein) arrived in the U.S. and received an American passport. He was seen on occasion to enter the palatial residence of JACOB SCHIFF.
In their meetings they talked about the Zionist unrest in Russia, also about what was learned from the unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the Czar. Jacob Schiff financed the training of Trotsky’s rebels who were mainly Jews from New York’s East End and who were trained on a plot in New Jersey belonging to Rockefeller’s STANDARD OIL COMPANY. When they had become proficient in guerrilla warfare, Trotsky’s rebels left the U.S., with 20 million U.S.$ from Jacob Schiff, on the SS Kristianisfjord for Russia, there to start the Bolshevik Revolution, so the Khazars could get Russia back.
Trotsky and Lenin were both linked to the Committee of 300 by Bruce Lockhart.

CHAPTER 19
SKULL AND BONES
Let us now examine a most powerful organization of the Illuminati in the U.S., the SKULL & BONES order.
Its own members call it simply “The Order”, it has been known for more than 150 years as “Local 322” of a German secret society. Others call it the “Brotherhood of Death”. The secret order of SKULL & BONES was established at YALE UNIVERSITY in 1833 by WILLIAM HUNTINGTON RUSSEL and ALPHONSO TAFT. Russel brought it in 1832 from his student days in Germany. In 1856 the order was incorporated into the Russel Trust. In 1864 WILLIAM RUSSEL became a member of the assembly of Connecticut and in 1862 he became General of the National Guard.
ALPHONSO TAFT became Secretary of War in 1870 (?), then U.S. Attorney General in 1876 and in 1884 U.S. Ambassador to Russia. Alphonso’s son William was appointed Chief Justice and later elected PRESIDENT of the U.S.
It is an old tradition to mark the tombstones of Freemasons with the Master degree with a skull and crossbones, a tradition also harking back to the time of the Knights Templar after 1127 A.D. Perhaps the order’s name comes from one of these traditions. Yale is the only university with societies that are only open to seniors. The other two societies at Yale are the SCROLL & KEY and the WOLF'S HEAD.
The candidates are exclusively white, male, Protestant and usually from very rich families. Often the fathers were already members in the same order. During the last year of study they are called KNIGHT and later – for life – PATRIARCH.
The reunions of Patriarchs take place at the DEER ISLAND CLUB in New York. This club was founded in 1907 by the Patriarch George Douglas. The Deer Island Club is exclusively run by Patriarchs, as is the Russel Trust.
The most important members of the Eastern Liberal Establishment surprisingly have always been members of one of these societies. THE EASTERN LIBERAL ESTABLISHMENT is – according to Gary Allen – a circumlocution for the financial, political, academic and media-political Mafia bossed by the ROCKEFELLERS.
Here one should mention the W.A. Harriman Company. The founder of this bank, William Averell Harriman was initiated into the Skull & Bones order in 1913. In the Twenties Harriman was the main supporter of the Russians with funds and diplomatic aid. Harriman had further support by the first Soviet commercial bank, the RUSKOMBANK. MAX MAY, vice-president of the Guaranty Trust and a member of the Skull & Bones, was the first vice-president of the Ruskombank.
The Guaranty Trust was controlled by J.P. Morgan & Co. the partner bank of the N.M. Rothschild Bank. Some partners of J.P. Morgan were Skull Bones members: Harold Stanley, initiated in 1908, Thomas Cochran, initiated in 1904. The original capital for the Guaranty Trust came from the Whitneys, Rockefellers, Vanderbilts and Harrimans, all families with members in the Skull & Bones order. PERCY ROCKEFELLER was the only Rockefeller accepted. He represented the Rockefeller investment in the Guaranty Trust and was its director from 1915 to 1930.
A short summary of the banks just mentioned:
The N.M. Rothschild & Sons had its main branches in London, Paris, Vienna and Berlin. Already then the Rothschilds not only controlled the CITY of London, thus the Crown colonies and the British Government, but also French government, the Committee of 300, the Bavarian Illuminati and so all the secret lodges in Europe and the U.S. infiltrated by the Bavarian Illuminati. Together with their representatives in the U.S. – the Kuhn Loeb & Co. (director: Jacob Schiff), the August Belmont & Co. and the J.P. Morgan & Co. – and the M.M. Warburg Gesellschaft in Hamburg and Amsterdam they built up – among others Rockefellers Standard Oil empire, Harriman’s railroad and Carnegie’s steelworks and thereby controlled the greatest part of the American economy.
The banks just mentioned are among the most powerful in the world and are all controlled by Rothschild. And these were just the “modest” beginnings of the Rothschild empire, as we are about to see.

WHO WAS KASPAR HAUSER?
In the beginning of the 19th century on old prophecy started to fulfill itself. According to probably the highest Tibetan secret society, the “dGe-lugs-pa” (Yellow Hats), the point where the VRIL power, the power that runs the universe, hits the planet and emerges would shift from Tibet, the “Roof of the World”, to the “Land of the Midnight Mountain” – to Germany. That’s the reason why the Tibetans always supported Germany and became the secret founders of the Third Reich.
In this prophecy, as well as in the prophecy of Jesus (which you will find in the chapter about the Thule Society), it is said that the new “Licht-Reich” (realm of light) will emerge from Germany and therefore the power of the Jews will be taken away from them.
Compare Matthew 21:43, where Jesus addressed the JEWS:
“Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to people who will produce its fruit.”
It was said that a child would be born that would unite all Europe without a war, but through love. This child would be a spiritual master, similar to Jesus, and therefore would be THE enemy of the Jews.
This child was born on the day of Michael, the 29th of September 1812, in Karlsruhe as the son of Grand Duke Karl and his wife, Stephanie de Beauharnais, the adopted daughter of Napoleon, and therefore was the successor to the throne of the House of Baden – the GERMAN EMPEROR!!
But the Illuminati Freemasons and the Black Nobility knew about him and had to make this child disappear. The French Grand Orient Lodge of Freemasons kidnapped the boy, but they couldn’t just murder him. If they would have killed the physical body, the vehicle of this soul, the soul would simply have chosen another body, maybe one year later, and would have taken the throne anyway. So they had to keep this soul trapped in the body and prevent it from taking on its task. Therefore, the Freemasons kept the child somewhere in normal conditions until the age of two and a half, when the child showed its first signs of memory (that’s the time when the soul gets fixed within the physical body).
Then the Masons had the child put in a metal cage in a cellar, without any light at all, from two and half until fifteen (twelve and a half years!). But this wasn’t enough torture yet: The cage was so small that the boy could neither stretch his legs out nor stand up, and therefore his limbs grew at angles. As you will see later, this is a typical Masonic ritual. Freemasons speak in symbols, and every form of punishment has its symbols to show the other Masons what the person has been punished for. So, in this case they chose the square which is one of the Masonic symbols, compass and square.
After twelve and a half years of living in this cage without any light, with just water and bread, the Freemasons thought that they had won and taught the child forty spoken words and haw to write the name Kaspar Hauser. They left the child on the streets in the middle of Nuremberg and thought that he would be absolutely lost.
First Kaspar was put in prison for a few hours because he could not speak, was not used to light, had never consciously seen a human being, could not walk right – he just had a very unusual behavior. But the chief of police immediately saw that this boy was not a criminal at all, because he was a very beautiful child, and he saw that something unusual had happened to him. So Kaspar was given to a family of a friend of the chief of police, who took on Kaspas as their own child.
But then things started to happen. This child was very unusual. After half a year Kaspar could speak pretty well, and he started to draw. He was a very correct child, intensely tidy, he wore the most proper clothing, everything in his room had its proper place. He had a brilliant memory they had never seen in another child; he remembered every word that had been said by every person he had met, knew the clothing they had worn that day. But he had even more phenomena to show.
Besides being such a beautiful boy he was extremely telepathic. He knew what other people thought of, knew who the person was behind his back, 450 feet away, and what he was doing; he saw at night better than during the day, but most important was his being. He was such a gentle, loving being that everybody who met him just had to like him and became a different person. So he became known as the “miracle child of Europe”, and people from all over came to see him. Then, at the age of eighteen, he started to write this first biography (imagine this, after all he could not speak nor write nor do much else at fifteen). Imagine a normal child being imprisoned for twelve and a half years without any light.
So the Grand Orient Freemasons saw that this child was too powerful and that it would take him probably just another few months to realize who he really was and that he finally would take on his title anyway. So they had one of their members, Lord Stanhope, get into Kaspar Hauser’s life. Stanhope took him away from his adoptive parents and got him to the teacher Meyer in Ansbach who was very cruel to him.
There he was taught to lie and talk about other people. But Kaspar was still bothering the Illuminati, so, on the 17th of October 1829, they tried to kill him the first time in a kosher way, by cutting his throat, another type of ritual murder the Freemasons use which they have adopted from the Jews. But the assassin didn’t cut the throat, he cut the forehead, probably because it was too dark. Kaspar’s reaction the next day was forgiveness for the assassin. He was not even angry at him.
But then, on the 14th of December 1833, the Masons were successful. Kaspar was stabbed with a knife three times while he was walking out in the fields, and died three days later on the evening of the 17th .
But the most important incident is that on his deathbed Kaspar forgave his murderer, as Jesus on the cross had forgiven his murderers (actually the same group of people). This shows us who Kaspar Hauser really was – by his deeds we now know him. Kaspar’s task was to unite Europe in peace, to bring forth a different “New World Order”, and order of love and respect.
So, again the Illuminati had been successful with their plan, but just on the surface. The same that happened through of Jesus, happened again through the death of Kaspar Hauser, and it affected the whole world, even if one can’t recognize it immediately. One cannot kill a spiritual master and just think “that’s that”!

CHAPTER 12
THE FREEMASONS IN AMERICA
After the ROSICRUCIANS had founded their first colony in 1694 in what today is Pennsylvania, the Freemasons proceeded to establish their first lodges around 1730, with the consent of the Mother Grand Lodge in England.
The founding of the United States of America is the result of the secret work by Freemasons over hundreds of years. The American War of Independence had been organized and fought by Freemasons, and the Constitution of the U.S. had been penned and signed by Freemasons. About one third of the American Presidents were Freemasons, and they are well represented in Congress, both in the Senate and in the United States Representatives.
The Great seal of the United States with the Pyramid with the all-Seeing Eye on the reverse side, the Phoenix (which in 1841 was replaced by the Bald Eagle) on the obverse and the original Star-Spangled Banner with 13 stripes and 13 stars are all old and important Freemason symbols, which, although they had been designed on behalf of the ROTHSCHILDS and put in place by WEISHAUPT, in their symbolism hark back to ancient Egypt. The design of the Illuminati-dollar pyramid is by Phillip Rothschild, as his lover Ayn Rand divulged in her book “Atlas Shrugged”.
After the War of Independence was over, the American Masonic lodges segregated from the English Mother Grand Lodge and created their proper American Grand Lodge. This comprised the York Rite with ten degrees (the tenth is a Templar degree) and the Scottish Rite with thirty-three.
Most Freemasons think that there are no degrees higher than the thirty-third, but the members of that degree are later initiated into the Illuminati degrees (See No. 11 of the Protocols).
All “Grand Orient” lodges in Europe were already perfectly controlled by the Bavarian Illuminati. The Freemasons of America at this time were not infected by Weishaupt’s “Illuminism”. This only happened later.
Remarks on Today’s Situation:
One has to understand that perhaps 90% of all the organized Freemasons today have not the least idea what their highest leaders who are linked to the Illuminati are actually up to. Like other organizations the Freemasons are used as a blind to further spread the influence of the Illuminati.
Lyndon LaRouche describes them as follows:
“Outwardly the local Freemason lodges appear as what they mostly do. They are stag groups following certain charitable aims and use a secret handshake and other secret society hocus-pocus. But getting together they think they can set themselves up as important local figures. It is good for business, good for the career. The wives, too, have thus the right social environment and perhaps get to hear the newest gossip from the neighborhood. But at the top things are completely different. The simple lodge brother has no idea what happens at the top…”
(NEUE SOLIDARITAT, March 10,1993).
It is also interesting to note that while German Freemasons from Prussia entered the service of America, other German Freemasons supported England and thereby made fantastic profits. Almost 30,000 soldiers from six German states, more than half from Hesse-Hanau, were loaned to the English Government. In many battles there were more German than English soldiers fighting in the British army against the Americans. In the battle of Trenton for instance, there were only Germans fighting.
How about the financial state of the United States of America?
The U.S. President THOMAS JEFFERSON and BENJAMIN FRANKLIN were inimical to the establishment of a private central bank for the control of the U.S. currency. After Franklin’s death in 1790 the Rothschild agents got ALEXANDER HAMILTON appointed as secretary of the treasury. In 1791 he created the “FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF THE UNITED STATES”, the first central bank fashioned after the “Bank of England” and controlled by the Rothschilds.
In 1811, when the contract of the bank with the U.S. lapsed, the American economy was so destabilized that the contract was not renewed for five years. The Rothschilds then used their influence in the British Parliament to have England reclaim her colonies in America. This led to the 1812-1815 war. The war again put the U.S. so much in debt that they had to ask the bankers once more for loans (i.e. the central bank).
In 1836, under President Andrew Jackson, the central bank was again disapproved, but it got the concession back in 1863 and in 1913 became the “Federal Reserve Bank”, today’s central bank of the U.S. (more details will follow).
After the death of Mayer Amschel in 1812, Nathan had custody of the family’s fortune. In this position he opened the NATHAN MAYER ROTHSCHILD & SONS BANK in London, with branches in Vienna, Paris and Berlin. This bank dealt in stocks and loans, it insured government, it managed and controlled other banks, railroads, steel plants, arms productions and many more. In America it was represented by KUHN LOEB & CO., by J.P. MORGAN & CO. and by AUGUST BELMONT & CO.
Nathan kept this position in the family clan until he was poisoned at a family gathering in 1836. The reason for the meeting was the marriage of his so LIONEL ROTHSCHILD. Some say that Nathan was executed because he had helped himself to some of the family fortune.
His son LIONEL was very successful as the new boss of N.M. ROTHSCHILD & SONS and eventually became a Member of Parliament.
Jakob (James) Rothschild from the Paris branch was custodian of the family fortune from 1836 to 1868. He had been next in line after Nathan.
The Rothschilds together with the Bavarian Illuminati represented the financial power behind Zionism and later communism and they had started and financed many revolutions and wars.
For instance, did Rothschilds finance both sides of the Civil War in the U.S. between 18611865? From December 1860 to May 1861 eleven states whose economy depended on slavery (the Southern states) declared they wanted to leave the Union and formed the “Confederate States”. In April 1861 this led to the secession war against the remaining Union states in the north.
The reasons leading to this civil war were almost completely due to the actions and provocations of ROTHSCHILD AGENTS. One of those troublemakers was GEORGE BICKLEY, who had founded the “KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE”. The House of Rothschild then had Bickley and his knights extol the disadvantages of the Union for the Confederate States. In the remaining Union states the Rothschilds had J.P. Morgan and August Belmont praise the advantages of the Union.
The London Rothschild bank financed the North, the Paris bank the South. A fantastic business for the Rothschilds. If you finance both sides and support the arms as well, you can but win. Here, the Americans were the only losers, both the North and the South (Machiavelli sends his regards).
It happened though that President Lincoln saw through this and refused to pay the Rothschilds’ immense interests. He then asked Congress to have the Greenback dollars made in order to pay the Union troops.
This of course ran contrary to the plans of the Rothschilds and led to them having Lincoln murdered by their agent JOHN WILKES BOOTH on April 14, 1865. John W. Booth was later freed from jail by the Knights of the Golden Circle and spent the rest of his life quite comfortably in England, thanks to the handsome payment by Rothschild. After Lincoln’s death the greenbacks were withdrawn and later bought in at ridiculous price by the central bankers Morgan, Belmont and Rothschild.

CHAPTER 13
KARL MARX
A branch of the BAVARIAN ILLUMINATI that at the time was known as the ”League of the Just” and had come from one of the most successful revolutionary secret groups in France, the “SOCIETIES DES QUATRE SAISONS” (Society of the Four Season), enlisted two new members, the Jew MOSES MORDECHAI MARX LEVI (alias Karl Marx) and his friend, the industrialist FRIEDRICH ENGELS, who late wrote the “Communist Manifesto” for them.
Part of the manifesto came from their minds, but the largest section was the ideology of the “League of the Just” and other French secret societies who took a revolutionary stance towards France.
Gary Allen writes:
“In actual fact the ‘Communist Manifesto’ was in circulation for many years before Marx’s name was widely enough recognized to establish his authorship for this revolutionary handbook. All Karl Marx really did was to update or codify the very same revolutionary plans and principles set down seventy years earlier by Adam Weishaupt, the founder of the Order of Illuminati in Bavaria."
(None Dare Call It Conspiracy).
The “fight against capitalism” could now proceed. Thanks to his intellectual prowess Marx succeeded in changing the image of the league which in 1847 changed its name to “COMMUNIST LEAGUE”.
This now shows clearly how the Bavarian Illuminati created in England and in America “capitalist” systems and on the other hand “anti-capitalist”, i.e. “communist”, systems thus produced and to keep humanity in constant discord and therefrom confusion.

CHAPTER 14
THE PLAN FOR A WORLD GOVERNMENT
WEISHAUPT died in 1830 at the age of eighty-two. In 1834 GUISEPPE MAZZINI assumed leadership of the Bavarian Illuminati and held this position until his death In 1872.
While he was leading the order of the Bavarian Illuminati, Mazzini corresponded with the Satanist ALBERT PIKE, the “SOVEREIGN GRAND COMMANDER OF THE ANCIENT AND ACCEPTED SCOTTISH RITE OF FREEMASONRY”, of the Southern Jurisdiction of the U.S. and later the founder of the “KU KLUX KLAN”.
Mazzini had named Pike leader of operations of the Bavarian Illuminati in the U.S. As top illuminists the two worked together. Pike took on the theosophical aspects of their operations, Mazzini the political ones. When the Masonic Lodges of the Grand Orient got into disrepute in Europe due to the revolutionary activities of Mazzini, the latter presented Pike with a plan of genius.
In a letter to Pike, dated January 22, 1870, Mazzini wrote:
“We must allow all of the federations to continue just as they are, with their systems, their central authorities and their diverse modes of correspondence between high grades of the same rite, organized as they are at present, but we must create a super rite, which will remain unknown, to which we will call those Masons of high degree whom we shall select. With regard to our brothers in Masonry, these men must be pledged to the strictest secrecy, Through this supreme rite, we will govern all Freemasonry which will become the one international center, the more powerful because its direction will be unknown.”
(Occult Theocracy, Lady Queenborough, and None Dare Call It Conspiracy, Gary Allen).
Apparently this is the elite of the 33rd degree of the Scottish Rite. The Ideology of this degree is given in the next chapter.
In a letter of August 15, 1871 PIKE showed the Illuminati leader Mazzini in an outline how to conquer the world with three world wars, the way to establish “THE NEW WORLD ORDER”.
*
The FIRST WORLD WAR should be staged to bring Czarist Russia under the control of the Bavarian Illuminati. Russia should then be used as a “bogey man” to further the aims of the Bavarian Illuminati world-wide.
*
The SECOND WORLD WAR should be started by manipulating the differences between the German nationalists and the Political Zionists. This was to result in an expansion of Russian influence and the establishment of a State of Israel In Palestine.
*
The THIRD WORLD WAR was planned to result from the differences stirred up by Illuminati agents between the Zionists and the Arabs. The conflict was planned to span the world.
It is also part of the Third World to set Nihilists and Atheists against one another to provoke a social reversal by hitherto unknown savagery and brutality.
After the destruction of Christianity and Atheism one would show men the true “Luciferian Doctrine” and thereby kill two birds with one stone.
Remarks to Today’s Situation (by the author)
Having Russia as the bogey man (concept of the enemy) the Western nations should be forced into SUPRANATIONAL alliances they would not have entered by themselves (NATO, UN). Also having the former Russian empire as the enemy of the world tremendously helped international arms deals, which again profited the international bankers. This shows us that behind the Second World War there is yet a scenario completely DIFFERENT from what the HISTORY BOOK tell us.

CHAPTER 15
THE KNIGHTS OF THE KU KLUX KLAN
Here we have to deal again with ALBERT PIKE and the “Scottish Rite” of the Freemasons. Officially, the Masonic order of the “Scottish Rite” started in 1801 in the U.S. from a group of Tory followers. These however had cultivated anti-Christian and Satanic practices before. Since about 1840 the organizational structure of the American Freemasons was under the severe supervision of the “Scottish Rite”. The latter bestows initiation degrees up to the 33rd degree. It is divided into a Southern Jurisdiction in Arkansas and a northern jurisdiction in Boston.
As an instrument of strategy for the CROWN (explained in the next chapter), the “Scottish Rite” conducted in the middle of the last century an incessant offensive of murder and racist terror against the U.S. and the neighboring states. The most important incidences were the American occupation of Mexico during the Mexican War (1846-1848), the rebellion of the slave-holders, i.e. the Civil War (1861-1865) and the crusade of the Ku Klux Klan against the rebuilding of the Southern States (1867-1870)
The “KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE” founded by George Bickley appeared here for the first time, in Cincinnati, under the leadership of KILIANEN VAN RENSSELAERS. The “Golden Circle” was to establish a new empire of slavery with Cuba as its center. It was their objective to kill the hated Catholic Hispanics in order to replace them with black slaves fresh from Africa. This was the first “North American Free Trade Treaty”.
The seal of the “KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE” was identical to that of the “KNIGHTS OF MALTA” the Maltese Cross. The “Knights of the Golden Circle” eventually disappeared. In 1867 Albert Pike founded in Nashville the “ORDER OF THE KNIGHTS OF THE KU KLUX KLAN” (GREEK KYKLOS = CIRCLE), he was the “Great Dragon” and thus their leader. So here they were again, the “Knights of the Golden Circle”
The KKK also uses the Maltese Cross as its emblem and it is led by prominent Freemasons. If one looks at the racist and inhuman goals of the KKK and from these deducts the “inner being” of its founder and its members, then one has to question whether one writes about members of the human species at all.
The KKK uses force to keep their voting rights from black citizens, to disallowing them to own arms, to discriminate against schools teaching black children and to lower the standard of living of blacks to a level that equals that of slavery. The interesting thing is that nowadays the KKK is almost totally financed by the MOSSAD (Israeli secret service)
In the “Jewish” community the independent order “B'NAI B'RITH” was established in 1843. The “B’nai B’rith”, a Zionist secret lodge, is counted among the Masonic lodges. The term “B’nai B’rith” means “Sons of the Alliance”. It claims the leadership of world Judaism.
Although most lodges of this order were in the North of the U.S., the “B’nai B’rith” openly took the side of the Confederates. Many speakers of the order in the North vociferously defended slavery and were still working for the goals of the Confederates after the Civil War.
Remarks to Today’s Situation:
The “ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE” (ADL) which is linked to the “B”NAI B”RITH” recently started a campaign to defame leading American black politicians as anti-Semites. Thus they aimed at fanning racial conflict and to negatively influence the positive attitude of Jewish Americans who up to then had helped the blacks. The ADL also openly opposed the KKK, yet it clamored in favor of the statue of Albert Pike (the KKK founder) which is still standing in Washington D.C., and it is openly linked to the “Scottish Rite”:
“We worship a God, but it is the God one adores without superstition. The Masonic religion should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine.
“If Lucifer were not God, would Adonai (the Christian God) whose deeds prove his cruelty, perfidy, and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion for science, would Adonai and his priests, calumniate him?
“Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately Adonai is also God. For the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two Gods. The doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and pure philosophic religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonai; but Lucifer, God of Light and God of God is struggling for humanity against Adonai, the God of darkness and evil.”
This quote can be looked up in the main Pike folder at the library of the “Scottish Rite” in Washington D.C. in French and in English.
Pike professed to be a Satanist and an agent of the CROWN, the “CITY” Pike bestowed in 1867 the 4th to the 32nd degree of the “Scottish Rite” upon U.S. President ANDREW JOHNSON. Thirty-nine days after the investiture of President Theodore Roosevelt who was himself an anglophile racist and Freemason, the statue of Albert Pike was erected in Washington D.C., where it stands until today.
[More] remarks on Today’s Situation:
We see that in a hierarchic order none but the leader is allowed free will. To attain a higher degree an aspirant has to fulfill conditions set by the next higher degree.
An example:
I show the aspirant a “white” book, yet I tell him that it is “black”. Now I ask him of what color the book is. If he answers “white”, he has failed, though if he says “black”, he is accepted to the next higher degree and thus to many more new tasks he has to fulfill like this one. Do you realize that all hierarchies of this world are set up like this? All school systems, almost all religions including Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Scientology – are similarly structured. Personal opinions, free development and independent thinking is not allowed, only the following of orders received from those in HIGHER POSITIONS.
And it does not matter whether it concerns the satanic doctrine – as in the quote by Pike, mentioned earlier – or the dogmas of the Catholic or Islamic (etc.) Churches. Those contemporaries who “knowingly” give up their free will and their proper responsibility and submit these to another person, organization or to a leader are not worthy of better treatment since today, especially in the so-called civilized countries, nobody is “forced” to join an organization or religion.
Or, as Anatole France wrote: “And if five million people say something stupid, it is nevertheless stupid!”
About President Bill Clinton, former Governor of Arkansas:
In a “Ku Klux Klan Special”, the German magazine Neue Solidaritat informs us that Parson W.O. VAUGHT was a Freemason in the 32nd degree of the Scottish Rite (i.e. Master of the Royal Secret). He was the spiritual teacher and actual foster-father of BILL CLINTON and collaborated with him. When he was governor of Arkansas, a state in which the spiritual tradition of Albert Pike is strongly rooted, Clinton supported capital punishment and allowed several executions to go ahead. In reality this means executing poor and blacks. Recently Vaught’s son said that Clinton and his parson agreed that their religious beliefs allowed the killing of prisoners and of unborn babies (especially black babies).
Clinton is also member of the “Council on Foreign Relations”, of the Trilateral Commission, of the “Bilderbergers” (more about their importance later), and member for life in the Masonic “Order of DeMolay for Boys”. Jacques de Molay was Grand master of the Knights Templar and was burnt at the stake on March 18,1314 in Paris.
According to the order’s literature the “Order of DeMolay” is led by “eminent Masons” and membership consists of sons of master Masons aged between fourteen and twenty-one who are taught the Seven Virtues: Filial Love, Reverence, Courtesy, Comradeship, Cleanness (of thought, word and deed), Fidelity and Patriotism. How much this corresponds to reality is a moot point.

CHAPTER 16
THE BLACK NOBILITY
Before going any further into the “big picture” we have to take a little detour again to make things a bit clearer.
For the following information I have to thank Ex- MI6 agent Dr. John Coleman for his tremendous research. He is the only one who ever wrote anything in English on the “Black Nobility”, and on the American continent he is a pioneer in this research. I met Dr. Coleman personally and tell you that he is sincere in his intention (I have my own personal faculty to “read” or “check” people). But he sure is holding back information, as I do, too, because we don’t want to lose our heads.
Dr. Coleman tells us about a term you won’t find in any ordinary book or dictionary: “The Black Nobility”. These are the oligarchic families of Venice and Genoa who in the 12th century held the privileged trading rights (monopolies).
Dr. Coleman:
“The first of three crusades, from 1063 to 1123, established the power of the Venetian Black Nobility and solidified the power of the wealthy ruling class. The Black Nobility aristocracy achieved complete control over Venice in 1171, when the appointment of the doge was transferred to what was known as the Great Council, which consisted of members of the commercial aristocracy, a complete triumph for them. Venice has remained in their hands ever since, but the power and influence of the Venetian Black Nobility extends far beyond its borders, and today, in 1986, is felt in every corner of the globe. In 1204 the oligarchic family parceled out feudal enclaves to their members, and from this epoch dates the great building-up of power and pressure until the government became a closed corporation of the leading Black Nobility families.”
The Black Nobility earned its title through dirty tricks, so when the population revolted against the monopolies in government, as anywhere else, the leaders of the uprising were quickly seized and brutally hanged. They use secret assassinations, murder, the bankrupting of opposing citizens or companies, kidnapping and rape. So, who are these families?
The most important ones are:
*
House of Guelph (Britain)
*
House of Wettin (Belgium)
*
House of Bernadotte (Sweden)
*
House of Liechtenstein (Liechtenstein)
*
House of Oldenburg (Denmark)
*
House of Hohenzollern (Germany)
*
House of Hanover (Germany)
*
House of Bourbon (France)
*
House of Orange (Netherlands)
*
House of Grimaldi (Monaco)
*
House of Wittelsbach (Germany)
*
House of Braganza (Portugal)
*
House of Nassau (Luxembourg)
*
House of Habsburg (Austria)
*
House of Savoy (Italy)
*
House of Karadjordjevic (Yugoslavia)
*
House of Wurttemberg (Germany)
*
House of Zogu (Albania)
As well as the ones you will find on the Family Tree of the Windsors. (Black Nobility Unmasked Worldwide, Dr. John Coleman, 1985)
All the families listed are connected with the House of Guelph, one of the original Black Nobility families of Venice from which the House of Windsor and thus the present Queen of England, Elisabeth II, descends.
The Guelphs are so intertwined with the German aristocracy through the House of Hanover that it would take several pages to mention all their connections. As you can see in this family tree, almost all European royal houses originate from the House of Hanover and thus from the House of Guelph – the Black Nobility. The Hanoverian English King George I came from the Duchy of Lunenberg, a part of Northern Germany, which had been governed by the Guelph family since the 12th century.
Today the Guelphs rule by dominating the raw materials market, and for years they have fixed the price of gold, a commodity they do neither produce nor own. The House of Windsor also controls the price of copper, zinc, lead and tin. And as you will see, it is no accident that the principle commodity exchanges are located in London. Companies run by Black Nobility families are British Petroleum, Oppenheimer, Lonrho, Philbro and others.
Another Black Nobility family are the Grosvenors in England. For centuries this family lived - as most of the European royal families – on ground rent. Today the family owns at least 300 acres of land in the center of London. The land is never sold, but leased on a 39 year leasehold agreement – the ground rent of the middle ages.
Grosvenor Square, in which the American Embassy is located, belongs to the Grosvenor family, as does Eaton Square. In Eaton Square apartments are rented out at 25,000 pounds a month, and that does not include maintenance costs. This will give you some idea of the immense wealth the Black Nobility families garner from ground rents, and why families like the Windsors are not at all interested in industrial progress along with the excess population it supports. This is the only reason why these “noble” families are behind most, if not all, of the wrong-headed Pro-environmental movements of the world that ultimately and covertly aim to curb population growth.
Prince Philip and Prince Charles are the most visible symbols of these movements and both have often spoken with the utmost callousness about the need to rid the world of unwanted people. (Black Nobility Unmasked Worldwide, Dr. John Coleman). So why do l mention the Black Nobility?
Because they are the founders of THE secret society of our day from which all the others are connected to the Illuminati originated from – the “Committee of 300”. As I will show you, the Club of Rome, the CFR, the RIIA, the Bilderbergers, the UN, the Round Table… all originate from the “Committee of 300” and therefore from the European Black Nobility families.
Well, here comes the most important point. Dr. Coleman has been perfectly right up to here.
He thinks that the European Black Nobility is the cause of all that is wrong. But, since at least the 17th century absolutely every European royal house has been infiltrated by JEWS. The House of Hanover seems to be German, but it is Jewish. So is the House of Habsburg.
So it wasn’t really the Germans who took over the British throne. Brilliant, isn’t it? (Sources: “Semi Goter” by Phillip Stauff and “Judenblut im deutshen Adel” - Jewish Blood in German Nobility by Otto Furst von Batailler)
Co-operating with the European Black Nobility are American families like the Harrimans and the McGeorge Bundys.

CHAPTER 17
THE ENGLISH ROYAL FAMILY AND THE OPIUM TRADE IN THE 18TH CENTURY
Before dealing with England at all, we have to clarify a few terms.
The QUEEN is the head of the Royal family, with the British colonial empire – with London as its capital – governed by the Prime Minister and the Cabinet.
But just like the Vatican being within Rome, there is a separate, independent state within London, the CITY. The CITY, which is called the richest square mile in the world, occupies just about that area in the heart of London (2.7 square Km.). It is said to have about 4,600 inhabitants and about a million jobs.
The government of the CITY is THE CROWN, comprised of thirteen members and led by the King of the CITY, the LORD MAYOR. Here one finds the richest and mightiest economic institutions of England, like the “Bank of England” controlled by the Rothschilds, Lloyd’s of London, the London Stock Exchange, the offices of many international merchant companies and Fleet Street, the center of newspapers and publishing.
The CITY does not belong to England. It is subject of neither the monarch nor the government of British Parliament. The CITY is the true government of England, as both the Queen and the Prime Minister are subordinate to the Lord Mayor and listen to him. By the façade of a Prime Minister and a cabinet the impression is given that these decide what happens, yet that are just puppets of the CITY.
If the Queen visits the CITY, she is met by the Lord Mayor at “Temple Bar” the symbolic gate to the CITY. She bows and asks permission to enter his private and sovereign state. He shows his approval by handing her the state sword. At state visits like this the Lord Mayor in his robe and chain eclipses the Queen, and her entourage are restricted to ordinary street clothes. Then he proceeds to lead the Queen who goes two steps behind him into the CITY.
As I mentioned earlier, the founding of the “Bank of England” was instigated by William Paterson who was a CITY agent. According to Des Griffin, the CITY is controlled by the Rothschild empire.
Thus, in order to void misinterpretations, we have to realize that in Great Britain there are two separately acting empires – the colonial empire under the royal family and the empire of the Crown. All colonies with a white population (Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and South Africa) were under the authority of the English government. All other colonies (India, Egypt, Bermuda, Malta, Singapore, HongKong, Gibraltar and the Central African colonies) were the private property of the CROWN, so-called CROWN COLONIES.
Of course there was co-operation, because the Windsor family is part of and the City belongs to the Black Nobility. During the building of the Empire the BRITISH EAST INDIA COMPANY (BEIC) made an immense fortune with the opium trade. The BEIC established the “China Inland Mission” whose main task was to get Chinese cheap laborers dependent on opium to create a market for their wares.
Members of the British royal family were so impressed by the immense profits that they collaborated with the BEIC. They began by taxing the opium producers in India. Huge amounts of opium were shipped from India on the “China Tea Clippers”, and around 13% of India’s income under the CROWN came from selling pure Bengal opium in China, supervised by them.
Surely the court did not want this shady episode exposed.
Therefore they involved the British Secret Services, the BRITISH MILITARY INTELLIGENCE DEPARTMENT (MI6) AND THE SECRET INTELLIGENCE SERVICE (SIS).
The MI6 goes back to Queen Elisabeth I under whom Sir Francis Walsingham became treasurer for the “Dirty Tricks” department of the MI6. Due to its several centuries of experience the MI6 is counted among the best secret services of the world. The BEIC was market leader in the opium trade until Chinese government prohibited the smoking of opium in 1729.
From 1791 to 1894 the number of licensed opium plantations grew under the Crown from 87 to 663. This finally led to the Opium War in China.
In 1729 the BEIC, as an arm of the Black Nobility, founded the “COMMITTEE OF 300” to simplify the handling of banking and commercial transactions. Today the “Committee of 300” is one of the most important secret organizations and is also working towards a “One World Government”. It is the so-called elite from the CITY. Later this “Committee of 300” developed tactics to overcome the Chinese anti-drug laws.
LORD INCHCAPE established the “P&O Shipping Company” and was the actual founder of the “Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank” that helped in covering up the opium trade. Other British banks involved in the drug trade are the British Bank of the Middle East, The Midland Bank, The National Westminster Bank, Barclays Bank, The Royal Bank of Canada and Baring Brothers Bank. All these banks are linked to the Rothschild banks by the “Committee of 300”.
When the Harriman railroad was being constructed to link California with the East of the U.S. thousands of Chinese cheap laborers were transshipped to work on the tracks. Many were already dependent on opium, and thus the market was extended to the U.S. HARRIMAN founded his railroad empire with financing from the “N.M. Rothschild & Sons Bank” in London.
There are good reasons to deduce that the Chinese opium-dependent laborers were intentionally used to extend the opium market to the U.S.
Remarks on Today’s Situation:
The Neue Solidaritat wrote in an article titled “The Queen and Narcotics” in its edition of September 8, 1993:
“It is rare, indeed, a pleasant surprise, to read in the British press news about the court that comes close to the truth. Last week such an item vied with the headlines on the front page of the London Times of August 27, 1993. The headline: “The Royal Family was ‘High’ in the Highlands”.
The article, based on a carefully researched report in the Scottish magazine Leopard, discloses that drugs and narcotics were used as a matter of course. From original documents the Leopard proved the Queen Victoria and her entourage, often the Churchill and Rothschild families, had standing orders fro sizeable quantities of cocaine, heroin and other narcotics with a highland pharmacy. The Times averred the same.
It said:
“Queen Victoria, the monarch with the severe mien, well-known for her “We are not amused” seems to have ordered enough cocaine and heroin for her Balmoral estate in Scotland to keep a whole Highland valley ‘high’.”
The papers of the pharmacy “show that the Royals and their guests were regularly supplied with considerable amounts of cocaine and heroin solutions.”

CHAPTER 18
BACKGROUND OF THE BOLSHEVIST REVOLUTION
Because of the many anti-Jewish laws in Europe, many Jews had no property and thus were forced to travel around. Whatever country they elected to be in, they encountered a closed front against them. At the end of the 19th century Czarist Russia was the only real obstacle left against the Illuminati ruling the world.
In 1881 Theodor Herzl, a Khazar Jew, again, founded the ZIONIST MOVEMENT in Odessa, Russia, in order to create a Jewish homeland in Palestine.
At a B’NAI B’RITH meeting in New York in 1916, Jacob Schiff, president of the Kuhn Loeb & Co. Bank, was elected president of the revolutionary “Zionist Movement in Russia”. On January 13, 1917, the Jew LEON TROTSKY (formerly Bronstein) arrived in the U.S. and received an American passport. He was seen on occasion to enter the palatial residence of JACOB SCHIFF.
In their meetings they talked about the Zionist unrest in Russia, also about what was learned from the unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the Czar. Jacob Schiff financed the training of Trotsky’s rebels who were mainly Jews from New York’s East End and who were trained on a plot in New Jersey belonging to Rockefeller’s STANDARD OIL COMPANY. When they had become proficient in guerrilla warfare, Trotsky’s rebels left the U.S., with 20 million U.S.$ from Jacob Schiff, on the SS Kristianisfjord for Russia, there to start the Bolshevik Revolution, so the Khazars could get Russia back.
Trotsky and Lenin were both linked to the Committee of 300 by Bruce Lockhart.

CHAPTER 19
SKULL AND BONES
Let us now examine a most powerful organization of the Illuminati in the U.S., the SKULL & BONES order.
Its own members call it simply “The Order”, it has been known for more than 150 years as “Local 322” of a German secret society. Others call it the “Brotherhood of Death”. The secret order of SKULL & BONES was established at YALE UNIVERSITY in 1833 by WILLIAM HUNTINGTON RUSSEL and ALPHONSO TAFT. Russel brought it in 1832 from his student days in Germany. In 1856 the order was incorporated into the Russel Trust. In 1864 WILLIAM RUSSEL became a member of the assembly of Connecticut and in 1862 he became General of the National Guard.
ALPHONSO TAFT became Secretary of War in 1870 (?), then U.S. Attorney General in 1876 and in 1884 U.S. Ambassador to Russia. Alphonso’s son William was appointed Chief Justice and later elected PRESIDENT of the U.S.
It is an old tradition to mark the tombstones of Freemasons with the Master degree with a skull and crossbones, a tradition also harking back to the time of the Knights Templar after 1127 A.D. Perhaps the order’s name comes from one of these traditions. Yale is the only university with societies that are only open to seniors. The other two societies at Yale are the SCROLL & KEY and the WOLF'S HEAD.
The candidates are exclusively white, male, Protestant and usually from very rich families. Often the fathers were already members in the same order. During the last year of study they are called KNIGHT and later – for life – PATRIARCH.
The reunions of Patriarchs take place at the DEER ISLAND CLUB in New York. This club was founded in 1907 by the Patriarch George Douglas. The Deer Island Club is exclusively run by Patriarchs, as is the Russel Trust.
The most important members of the Eastern Liberal Establishment surprisingly have always been members of one of these societies. THE EASTERN LIBERAL ESTABLISHMENT is – according to Gary Allen – a circumlocution for the financial, political, academic and media-political Mafia bossed by the ROCKEFELLERS.
Here one should mention the W.A. Harriman Company. The founder of this bank, William Averell Harriman was initiated into the Skull & Bones order in 1913. In the Twenties Harriman was the main supporter of the Russians with funds and diplomatic aid. Harriman had further support by the first Soviet commercial bank, the RUSKOMBANK. MAX MAY, vice-president of the Guaranty Trust and a member of the Skull & Bones, was the first vice-president of the Ruskombank.
The Guaranty Trust was controlled by J.P. Morgan & Co. the partner bank of the N.M. Rothschild Bank. Some partners of J.P. Morgan were Skull Bones members: Harold Stanley, initiated in 1908, Thomas Cochran, initiated in 1904. The original capital for the Guaranty Trust came from the Whitneys, Rockefellers, Vanderbilts and Harrimans, all families with members in the Skull & Bones order. PERCY ROCKEFELLER was the only Rockefeller accepted. He represented the Rockefeller investment in the Guaranty Trust and was its director from 1915 to 1930.
A short summary of the banks just mentioned:
The N.M. Rothschild & Sons had its main branches in London, Paris, Vienna and Berlin. Already then the Rothschilds not only controlled the CITY of London, thus the Crown colonies and the British Government, but also French government, the Committee of 300, the Bavarian Illuminati and so all the secret lodges in Europe and the U.S. infiltrated by the Bavarian Illuminati. Together with their representatives in the U.S. – the Kuhn Loeb & Co. (director: Jacob Schiff), the August Belmont & Co. and the J.P. Morgan & Co. – and the M.M. Warburg Gesellschaft in Hamburg and Amsterdam they built up – among others Rockefellers Standard Oil empire, Harriman’s railroad and Carnegie’s steelworks and thereby controlled the greatest part of the American economy.
The banks just mentioned are among the most powerful in the world and are all controlled by Rothschild. And these were just the “modest” beginnings of the Rothschild empire, as we are about to see.

LEGAL CASE FOR IRAQ IN SPAIN

MADRID/CAIRO: Public enquiries on the decision to wage war on Iraq that are silent about the crimes committed, the victims involved, and provide for no sanction, whatever their outcome, are not enough. Illegal acts should entail consequences: the dead and the harmed deserve justice.
On 6 October 2009, working with and on behalf of Iraqi plaintiffs, we filed a case before Spanish law against four US presidents and four UK prime ministers for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide in Iraq. The case presented spanned 19 years, including not only the wholesale destruction of Iraq witnessed from 2003, but also the sanctions period during which 1.5 million excess Iraqi deaths were recorded.
We brought the case to Spain because its laws of universal jurisdiction are based on principles enshrined in its constitution. All humanity knows the crimes committed in Iraq by those we accused, but no jurisdiction is bringing them to justice. We presented with Iraqi victims a solid case drawing on evidence contained in over 900 documents and that refer to thousands of individual incidents from which a pattern of accumulated harm and intent can be discerned.
When we brought our case, we knew that the Spanish Senate would soon vote on an amendment earlier passed by the lower house of parliament to curtail the application of universal jurisdiction in Spain. We were conscious that this restriction could be retroactive, and we took account of the content of the proposed amendment in our case filing. As we imagined, 2009 turned out to be a sad year for upholding universal human rights and international law in Spain. One day after we filed, the law was curtailed, and soon thereafter our case closed. Serious cases of the kind universal jurisdiction exists to address became more difficult to investigate.
One more jurisdiction to fall
Despite submitting a 110-page long referenced accusation (the Introduction of which is appended to this statement), the Spanish public prosecutor and the judge assigned to our case determined there was no reason to investigate. Their arguments were erroneous and could easily have been refuted if we could have appealed. To do so we needed a professional Spanish lawyer — either in a paid capacity or as a volunteer who wished to help the Iraqi people in its struggle for justice. As we had limited means, and for other reasons mostly concerning internal Spanish affairs, which were not our concern, we could not secure a lawyer in either capacity to appeal. Our motion for more time to find a lawyer was rejected.
We continue to believe that the violent killing of over one million people in Iraq since 2003 alone, the ongoing US occupation — that carries direct legal responsibility — and the displacement of up to a fifth of the Iraqi population from the terror that occupation has entailed and incited suggests strongly that the claims we put forward ought to be further investigated.
In reality, our case is a paramount example of those that authorities in the West — Spain included — fear. To them, such cases represent the double edge of sustaining the principle of universal jurisdiction. Western states used universal jurisdiction in the past to judge Third World countries. When victims in the global South began using it to judge Israel and US aggression, Western countries rushed to restrict it. Abandoning universal jurisdiction by diluting it is now the general tendency.
Call for wider collective effort to prosecute
We regret that the Spanish courts refused to investigate our case, but this will not discourage us. We have a just cause. The crimes are evident. The responsible are well known, even if the international juridical system continues to ignore Iraqi victims. Justice for victims and the wish of all humanity that war criminals should be punished oblige us to search for alternative legal possibilities, so that the crimes committed in Iraq can be investigated and accountability established.
At present, failed international justice allows US and UK war criminals to stand above international law. Understanding that this constitutes an attack — or makes possible future attacks — on the human rights of everyone, everywhere, we will continue to advocate the use of all possible avenues, including UN institutions, the International Criminal Court, and popular tribunals, to highlight and bring before law and moral and public opinion US and UK crimes in Iraq.
We are ready to make our experience and expertise available to those who struggle in the same direction. We look forward to a time when the countries of the global South, which are generally victims of aggression, reinforce their juridical systems by implementing the principle of universal jurisdiction. This will be a great service to humanity and international law.
Millions of people in Iraq have been killed, displaced, terrorised, detained, tortured or impoverished under the hammer of US and UK military, economic, political, ideological and cultural attacks. The very fabric and being of the country has been subject to intentional destruction. This destruction constitutes one of the gravest international crimes ever committed. All humanity should unite in refusing that law — by failing to assure justice for Iraqi victims — enables this destruction to be the opening precedent of the 21st century.

INTRODUCTION TO THE LEGAL CASE
FILED BEFORE THE AUDENCIA NACIONAL
ON 6 OCTOBER 2009
The following is the introduction to a legal case filed 6 October 2009 before the Audiencia Nacional in Spain against four US presidents and four UK prime ministers for commissioning, condoning and/or perpetuating multiple war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Iraq. The case was filed under laws of universal jurisdiction.
This case, naming George H W Bush, William J Clinton, George W Bush, Barack H Obama, Margaret Thatcher, John Major, Anthony Blair and Gordon Brown, was brought by Iraqis and others who stand in solidarity with the Iraqi people and in defence of their rights and international law.
Introduction
The respondents herein identified in this complaint have all held or hold high public office in the administrations of the United States and the United Kingdom, and/or commanding authority in the respective armed forces of these countries, and whilst in command or in office actively instigated, authorized, supported, justified, executed and/or perpetuated:
1. A 13-year sanctions regime on Iraq known and proven to have an overwhelmingly destructive impact on Iraqi public health, especially child mortality
2. The use of disproportionate and indiscriminate military force, including numerous extra-legal strikes and bombing campaigns throughout the 1990s, entailing the purposeful destruction of Iraq’s water and health facilities, and defence capacities, and the widespread contamination of Iraq’s ecosphere and life environment by the unjustified and massive use of depleted uranium munitions
3. The prevention by means of comprehensive sanctions, and/or military strikes, of the reconstruction of Iraq’s critical civil infrastructure, including its health, water and sanitation systems, and the decontamination of Iraq’s ecosphere/life environment, backed by the threat of Security Council veto where unanimity was not present for such strikes and/or the continuance of the sanctions regime
4. The launching of an illegal war of aggression against Iraq based on deliberate falsification of threat assessment intelligence and systematic efforts to conceal from the general public in the United States and the United Kingdom, and other countries, along with parts of the military command structure of the respective armed forces deployed, the true aims and objectives of that war
5. Establishing by design an occupation apparatus that by its incompetence, inexperience, corruption and/or ideological or sectarian alignment and actions would finalize the destruction of the Iraqi state and the attempted destruction of Iraqi national unity and identity, entailing an attack upon Iraqis as a whole and the intended destruction of the Iraqi national group as such.
The acts ordered and/or continued and perpetuated by the respondents identified in this complaint were unlawful in nature, were known to be and/or ought reasonably to have been known to be unlawful in nature, and were based on manifest and purposive lies, manipulations, deliberately misleading presentations of facts, and baseless assertions and other false justifications. The consistency of the propaganda effort that supported and contextualized these unlawful acts was such — and was aimed and known to be so — that it constituted an international campaign of demonization and dehumanization of Iraqis, the Iraqi nation, the Iraqi state, Iraq’s civil and military leadership, Iraq’s civil administrative apparatus, and Iraq in its Arab context. As such, and through actions taken and summarized below, the respondents:
1. Deprived the Iraqi people of all or the majority of their fundamental rights as established and protected by international human rights law and international humanitarian law, expressed in the UN Charter and conventions, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Geneva Conventions, including the right of defence
2. Structured and implemented policies that continue to deprive the Iraqi people of their sovereignty and the exercise of their freedom, human rights, and civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, as established and guaranteed by international human rights law and international humanitarian law, including the UN Charter and conventions, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Geneva Conventions
3. Consistently gave political and legal cover to these acts, even as these acts were known to be and/or ought reasonably to have been known to be in violation of international law, including peremptory or jus cogens standards of law
4. Asserted and defended extra-legal immunity for all those engaged in acts that have attacked the protected rights of the Iraqi people, and established a pattern of impunity for those accused of such attacks by failing to adequately investigate and prosecute specific and general allegations of grave abuses, and/or to ensure responsibility is assumed throughout the chain of command that permitted or failed to prohibit such attacks, and/or dismissed or distorted numerous customary legal standards, including the laws of war and those that outlaw the preemptive use of force in international relations
5. Abused and overran international law, the guarantor of international order, peace and security, which the United Nations System exists to protect and is deemed to embody, enshrined in the UN Charter, and upon whose foundation the Universal Declaration of Human Rights gains positive affect and final meaning.
Opportunity for redress for Iraqi victims in their own national jurisdiction is non-existent as Iraq remains occupied, its sovereign institutions dismantled and non-functioning. Despite numerous individual petitions submitted to its chief prosecutor, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has stated that it has no jurisdiction to hear cases of abuses and violations of human rights standards and international humanitarian law in Iraq. In light of US and UK threats to use permanent member veto power in the past, it is not foreseeable that the Security Council in the future will refer complaints in Iraq to the ICC, and nor can Iraqis wait for Security Council reform. Without effective investigation and prosecution of these abuses and violations, the international community runs the risk of allowing a precedent of unlawful action of such grave magnitude to be set without censure, thereby endangering the rights and dignity not only of Iraqis but also of people the world over. Such a precedent would be contrary to the UN Charter and the principles upon which the international order of states is deemed to be founded. The basis for public acceptance of a state of law is that it protects peace and defends the wellbeing of the people. Failure to investigate and effectively prosecute the catalogue of grave abuses and violations perpetrated by the respondents in Iraq, and against the Iraqi people, would constitute an ongoing and inherent threat to the basis of the international order in general and to international peace and security specifically.
Alongside those in official positions of authority, key political advisers, lobbyists, strategists and corporate representatives have also played a crucial role in the ideological and political justifications and legitimization sought and falsely proposed in order to execute the overall policy embraced, inclusive of an accumulated pattern of attacks, military and otherwise, that has lasted 19 years to date, culminating in the 2003 illegal war of aggression waged on Iraq and that continues to be executed despite wide and ongoing condemnation. Though there are nuances of responsibility inherent to the nature of policy construction and execution, the personal relations and interconnections between primary and secondary level individuals involved, and the groups or common circles to which they belong, testify to a large degree of cohesion present in intent and action among the respondents identified and those who support and benefit from the policies they have pursued. At the least, this shared intent is one of deliberate harm; at worst, it amounts to an objective intent to destroy for definable, and at times publicly enunciated, strategic, geopolitical and geo-economic reasons. Furthermore, none of the respondents can reasonably claim they did not have knowledge of the likely outcome of their policies, and those they supported, as all had not only participated in the design and execution of these policies, but they continued to execute said policies once their effects were widely known and had been proven to be detrimental to — and destructive of — the health, sovereignty and rights of the Iraqi people, and further have defended these policies and in majority continue to do so.
From the start of the implementation of a US-instigated and dominantly administered sanctions regime up to the present day, an approximate total of 2,700,000 Iraqis have died as a direct result of sanctions followed by the US-UK led war of aggression on, and occupation of, Iraq beginning in 2003. Among those killed during the sanctions period were 560,000 children. From 2003 onwards, having weakened Iraq’s civil and military infrastructure to the degree that its people were rendered near totally defenceless, Iraq was subject to a level of aggression of near unprecedented scale and nature in international history, occurring in parallel with the promotion of a partition plan for Iraq, the substantial direct funding of sectarian groups and militias that would play a key role in fragmenting the country under occupation, both administratively and in terms of national identity, the cancellation of the former state apparatus and the dismissal of its personnel entailing the collapse of all public services and state protection for the Iraqi people, the further destruction of the health and education systems of Iraq, and the creation of waves of internal and external displacement totaling nearly 5,000,000 Iraqis, or one fifth of the Iraqi population. By December 2007, the Iraqi Anti-Corruption Board reported that there were up to 5,000,000 orphans in Iraq, while the Iraqi Ministry of Women’s Affairs counts 3,000,000 widows as of 2009.
Such massive destruction of life, having as context a 19-year period of accumulated attacks, with numerous warnings and opportunities for remedy and a reversal of policy ignored, cannot be mere happenstance. Indeed, the paramount charge that must be investigated, and that plain fact evidence suggests, is that this level of destruction has been integral to the US and UK’s shared international policy for Iraq. The destruction in whole or in part of the Iraqi people as a national group, and depriving this group of all or the majority of its rights, appears from a reasoned account of the catalogue of violations, abuses and attacks to which the Iraqi people have been subject to be the unlawful means pursued purposely by the respondents in order to redraw by force the strategic and political map of the Arab region and Iraq’s place within that context, and to capture, appropriate and plunder, via the cancellation of the sovereignty of the Iraqi people and the destruction and fragmentation of their identity and unity as a national group, Iraq’s substantial natural energy resources. Historically, the Iraqi national group, variegated yet cohesive, was and continues to be, despite the aggression faced, firmly rooted in its overwhelming majority in the concept of citizenship of the Iraqi state — a state founded on public provision of services and a nationally owned energy industry. The policy that the respondents have sought and continue to seek to impose, that has entailed privatizing and seizing ownership of Iraqi citizens’ resources, along with the administrative and political partition of the former unitary state, is contrary to the basis of, and cohesion of, the Iraqi people as a national group.
Until prevented by effective legal investigation and precautionary action, it is highly likely that the combined US/UK strategy in Iraq will continue, though its tactics may change. Iraqis in the majority show no sign of surrendering their right to and belief in Iraqi citizenship, including sovereign control over Iraq’s natural resources. Between a belligerent foreign aggressor and a resilient, resistant people legal action is crucial to end the ongoing and by all likelihood perpetual slaughter of Iraqis and the destruction of their national identity and rights. We are before immoral and unlawful acts, contrary to the basis on which the international order of state sovereignty and peace and security rests, and that brought about and continue to pursue the destruction of the Iraqi state and attempted destruction of the Iraqi nation. Whereas 1,200,000 Iraqis, according to credible estimates, have lost their lives to violence since 2003 alone, the Iraqi people continue to lose their lives or at best live under constant fear of death, mutilation, detention, exile and lack of access to their rightful resources and freedoms. The sum of these conditions, the outcome of a pattern of purposeful action whose consequences could be foreseen, and of which detailed and compelling notice was served, situated in a context of false justifications, deceptions, and outright lies, and matched by the unlawful use of force, and disproportionate and indiscriminate use of force, amounts to substantive violations of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
As proof of the widespread impact of past and current US and UK policies, in 2009 the American Friends Service Committee, in collaboration with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), reported that some 80 per cent of Iraqis surveyed in Iraq had witnessed a shooting, 68 per cent had been interrogated or harassed by militias, 77 per cent had been affected by shelling/rocket attacks, 72 per cent had witnessed a car bombing, 23 per cent of Iraqis in Baghdad had had a family member kidnapped, and 75 per cent had had a family member or someone close to them murdered.
Military operations in Iraq from 2003 have already cost for the United States an estimated $800 billion, with long-term costs estimated at $1.8 trillion. By 2009, the estimated cost for the United Kingdom, according to figures released by the UK Ministry of Defence, was £8.4 billion ($13.7 billion). The United States continues to spend $12 billion on the war per month. There has been a total of 513,000 US soldiers deployed to Iraq since 2003. Some 170,000 were stationed during the “Surge” campaign of 2007, and 130,000 remain deployed as of June 2009. In addition to regular armed forces, the US administration is believed to employ up to 130,000 additional private security contractors and has refused to release official numbers in this regard. Security companies have been granted blanket immunity under Iraqi law. Equally, there is no effective mechanism, or hope, for Iraqis to hold US and UK forces to account directly.
The narration of facts that follows is substantiated with evidence detailed in the Annex. Other facts to be investigated while reported are not mentioned in the following.

COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE
Pour diffusion immédiate
Date: 7 Février 2010
DÉCLARATION SUR LE CLASSEMENT SANS SUITE DU CAS JURIDIQUE DE L'IRAQ EN ESPAGNE
DÉPOSÉ CONTRE QUATRE PRESIDENTS USA ET QUATRE PREMIERS MINISTRES BRITANNIQUES
POUR CRIMES DE GUERRE, CRIMES CONTRE L'HUMANITÉ ET GÉNOCIDE EN IRAK
MADRID / LE CAIRE: Les enquêtes publiques sur la décision de mener une guerre contre l'Irak qui gardent le silence sur les crimes commis, les victimes concernées, et ne prévoient pas de sanctions, quelle que soit leur issue, ne suffisent pas. Les actes illégaux doivent entraîner des conséquences: les morts et les meurtris méritent justice.
Le 6 Octobre 2009, travaillant avec et au nom de plaignants irakiens, nous avons déposé un recours devant la juridiction espagnole contre quatre présidents américains et quatre Premiers ministres du Royaume-Uni pour crimes de guerre, crimes contre l'humanité et génocide en Irak. Le cas présenté couvrait 19 ans, y compris, non seulement la destruction massive dont l'Irak a été victime à partir de 2003, mais aussi la période des sanctions au cours de laquelle 1,5 million de morts irakiens de plus que le taux naturel ont été enregistrés.
Nous avons porté l'affaire devant l'Espagne car ses lois de compétence universelle sont basées sur des principes consacrés dans sa constitution. L'humanité tout entière connaît les crimes commis en Irak par ceux que nous avons accusés, mais aucune juridiction ne les traduits en justice. Nous avons présenté avec les victimes irakiennes un cas solide, s'appuyant sur des preuves contenues dans plus de 900 documents et qui se réfèrent à des milliers de cas individuels à partir desquels un système de dommages accumulés et une intention peuvent être discernés.
Lorsque nous avons présenté notre cas, nous savions que le Sénat espagnol s'apprêtait à voter un amendement antérieur adopté par la Chambre basse du Parlement, visant à limiter l'application de la compétence universelle en Espagne. Nous étions conscients que cette restriction pouvait être rétroactive, et nous avons tenu compte de la teneur de l'amendement proposé dans le cas soumis.
Comme nous l'avions imaginé, 2009 s'est avérée être une triste année pour faire respecter les droits universels de l'homme et le droit international en Espagne. Un jour après que nous ayons déposé, la loi a été restreinte, et peu après, notre cas classé sans suite. Les cas d'une gravité telle que celle ci et pour lesquels, afin d'y faire face, la compétence universelle existe, sont devenus plus difficile à enquêter.
Une juridiction de plus tombe
En dépit d'avoir soumis une accusation de 110 pages référencées (dont l'introduction est jointe à cette déclaration), le procureur public espagnol et le juge affecté à notre cas ont déterminé qu'il n'y avait aucune raison de mener une enquête. Leurs arguments étaient erronés et auraient pu facilement être réfutés si l'on avait pu faire appel. Pour ce faire, nous avions besoin d'un avocat espagnol professionnel - soit à titre rémunéré ou en tant que bénévole, qui souhaite aider le peuple irakien dans sa lutte pour la justice. Comme nous avions peu de moyens, et pour d'autres raisons qui concernent principalement les affaires internes espagnoles qui ne sont pas notre préoccupation, nous n'avons pas pu obtenir un avocat qui soit en capacité de faire appel. Notre motion pour bénéficier d'un délai afin de trouver un avocat a été rejetée.
Nous continuons à croire que la mort violente de plus d'un million de personnes en Irak depuis seulement 2003, que l'occupation en cours des États-Unis - qui portent la responsabilité juridique directe - et que le déplacement de près d'un cinquième de la population irakienne du à la terreur que l'occupation a entraîné et incité, suggèrent fortement que les accusations que nous mettons en avant doivent être davantage enquêtées.
En réalité, notre cas est un exemple de première importance de cas dont les autorités de l'Occident - y compris l'Espagne - ont peur. Pour eux, ces cas représentent le double tranchant de soutenir le principe de compétence universelle. Les États Occidentaux ont utilisé la compétence universelle dans le passé pour juger les pays du Tiers Monde. Lorsque les victimes dans le Sud global ont commencé à l'utiliser afin de juger Israël et les agressions des États-Unis, les pays occidentaux se sont précipités pour la restreindre. La tendance générale est maintenant l'abandon de la compétence universelle en la diluant.
Appel à un effort collectif plus large pour mener des poursuites

MADRID/CAIRO: Public enquiries on the decision to wage war on Iraq that are silent about the crimes committed, the victims involved, and provide for no sanction, whatever their outcome, are not enough. Illegal acts should entail consequences: the dead and the harmed deserve justice.
On 6 October 2009, working with and on behalf of Iraqi plaintiffs, we filed a case before Spanish law against four US presidents and four UK prime ministers for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide in Iraq. The case presented spanned 19 years, including not only the wholesale destruction of Iraq witnessed from 2003, but also the sanctions period during which 1.5 million excess Iraqi deaths were recorded.
We brought the case to Spain because its laws of universal jurisdiction are based on principles enshrined in its constitution. All humanity knows the crimes committed in Iraq by those we accused, but no jurisdiction is bringing them to justice. We presented with Iraqi victims a solid case drawing on evidence contained in over 900 documents and that refer to thousands of individual incidents from which a pattern of accumulated harm and intent can be discerned.
When we brought our case, we knew that the Spanish Senate would soon vote on an amendment earlier passed by the lower house of parliament to curtail the application of universal jurisdiction in Spain. We were conscious that this restriction could be retroactive, and we took account of the content of the proposed amendment in our case filing. As we imagined, 2009 turned out to be a sad year for upholding universal human rights and international law in Spain. One day after we filed, the law was curtailed, and soon thereafter our case closed. Serious cases of the kind universal jurisdiction exists to address became more difficult to investigate.
One more jurisdiction to fall
Despite submitting a 110-page long referenced accusation (the Introduction of which is appended to this statement), the Spanish public prosecutor and the judge assigned to our case determined there was no reason to investigate. Their arguments were erroneous and could easily have been refuted if we could have appealed. To do so we needed a professional Spanish lawyer — either in a paid capacity or as a volunteer who wished to help the Iraqi people in its struggle for justice. As we had limited means, and for other reasons mostly concerning internal Spanish affairs, which were not our concern, we could not secure a lawyer in either capacity to appeal. Our motion for more time to find a lawyer was rejected.
We continue to believe that the violent killing of over one million people in Iraq since 2003 alone, the ongoing US occupation — that carries direct legal responsibility — and the displacement of up to a fifth of the Iraqi population from the terror that occupation has entailed and incited suggests strongly that the claims we put forward ought to be further investigated.
In reality, our case is a paramount example of those that authorities in the West — Spain included — fear. To them, such cases represent the double edge of sustaining the principle of universal jurisdiction. Western states used universal jurisdiction in the past to judge Third World countries. When victims in the global South began using it to judge Israel and US aggression, Western countries rushed to restrict it. Abandoning universal jurisdiction by diluting it is now the general tendency.
Call for wider collective effort to prosecute
We regret that the Spanish courts refused to investigate our case, but this will not discourage us. We have a just cause. The crimes are evident. The responsible are well known, even if the international juridical system continues to ignore Iraqi victims. Justice for victims and the wish of all humanity that war criminals should be punished oblige us to search for alternative legal possibilities, so that the crimes committed in Iraq can be investigated and accountability established.
At present, failed international justice allows US and UK war criminals to stand above international law. Understanding that this constitutes an attack — or makes possible future attacks — on the human rights of everyone, everywhere, we will continue to advocate the use of all possible avenues, including UN institutions, the International Criminal Court, and popular tribunals, to highlight and bring before law and moral and public opinion US and UK crimes in Iraq.
We are ready to make our experience and expertise available to those who struggle in the same direction. We look forward to a time when the countries of the global South, which are generally victims of aggression, reinforce their juridical systems by implementing the principle of universal jurisdiction. This will be a great service to humanity and international law.
Millions of people in Iraq have been killed, displaced, terrorised, detained, tortured or impoverished under the hammer of US and UK military, economic, political, ideological and cultural attacks. The very fabric and being of the country has been subject to intentional destruction. This destruction constitutes one of the gravest international crimes ever committed. All humanity should unite in refusing that law — by failing to assure justice for Iraqi victims — enables this destruction to be the opening precedent of the 21st century.

INTRODUCTION TO THE LEGAL CASE
FILED BEFORE THE AUDENCIA NACIONAL
ON 6 OCTOBER 2009
The following is the introduction to a legal case filed 6 October 2009 before the Audiencia Nacional in Spain against four US presidents and four UK prime ministers for commissioning, condoning and/or perpetuating multiple war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Iraq. The case was filed under laws of universal jurisdiction.
This case, naming George H W Bush, William J Clinton, George W Bush, Barack H Obama, Margaret Thatcher, John Major, Anthony Blair and Gordon Brown, was brought by Iraqis and others who stand in solidarity with the Iraqi people and in defence of their rights and international law.
Introduction
The respondents herein identified in this complaint have all held or hold high public office in the administrations of the United States and the United Kingdom, and/or commanding authority in the respective armed forces of these countries, and whilst in command or in office actively instigated, authorized, supported, justified, executed and/or perpetuated:
1. A 13-year sanctions regime on Iraq known and proven to have an overwhelmingly destructive impact on Iraqi public health, especially child mortality
2. The use of disproportionate and indiscriminate military force, including numerous extra-legal strikes and bombing campaigns throughout the 1990s, entailing the purposeful destruction of Iraq’s water and health facilities, and defence capacities, and the widespread contamination of Iraq’s ecosphere and life environment by the unjustified and massive use of depleted uranium munitions
3. The prevention by means of comprehensive sanctions, and/or military strikes, of the reconstruction of Iraq’s critical civil infrastructure, including its health, water and sanitation systems, and the decontamination of Iraq’s ecosphere/life environment, backed by the threat of Security Council veto where unanimity was not present for such strikes and/or the continuance of the sanctions regime
4. The launching of an illegal war of aggression against Iraq based on deliberate falsification of threat assessment intelligence and systematic efforts to conceal from the general public in the United States and the United Kingdom, and other countries, along with parts of the military command structure of the respective armed forces deployed, the true aims and objectives of that war
5. Establishing by design an occupation apparatus that by its incompetence, inexperience, corruption and/or ideological or sectarian alignment and actions would finalize the destruction of the Iraqi state and the attempted destruction of Iraqi national unity and identity, entailing an attack upon Iraqis as a whole and the intended destruction of the Iraqi national group as such.
The acts ordered and/or continued and perpetuated by the respondents identified in this complaint were unlawful in nature, were known to be and/or ought reasonably to have been known to be unlawful in nature, and were based on manifest and purposive lies, manipulations, deliberately misleading presentations of facts, and baseless assertions and other false justifications. The consistency of the propaganda effort that supported and contextualized these unlawful acts was such — and was aimed and known to be so — that it constituted an international campaign of demonization and dehumanization of Iraqis, the Iraqi nation, the Iraqi state, Iraq’s civil and military leadership, Iraq’s civil administrative apparatus, and Iraq in its Arab context. As such, and through actions taken and summarized below, the respondents:
1. Deprived the Iraqi people of all or the majority of their fundamental rights as established and protected by international human rights law and international humanitarian law, expressed in the UN Charter and conventions, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Geneva Conventions, including the right of defence
2. Structured and implemented policies that continue to deprive the Iraqi people of their sovereignty and the exercise of their freedom, human rights, and civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, as established and guaranteed by international human rights law and international humanitarian law, including the UN Charter and conventions, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Geneva Conventions
3. Consistently gave political and legal cover to these acts, even as these acts were known to be and/or ought reasonably to have been known to be in violation of international law, including peremptory or jus cogens standards of law
4. Asserted and defended extra-legal immunity for all those engaged in acts that have attacked the protected rights of the Iraqi people, and established a pattern of impunity for those accused of such attacks by failing to adequately investigate and prosecute specific and general allegations of grave abuses, and/or to ensure responsibility is assumed throughout the chain of command that permitted or failed to prohibit such attacks, and/or dismissed or distorted numerous customary legal standards, including the laws of war and those that outlaw the preemptive use of force in international relations
5. Abused and overran international law, the guarantor of international order, peace and security, which the United Nations System exists to protect and is deemed to embody, enshrined in the UN Charter, and upon whose foundation the Universal Declaration of Human Rights gains positive affect and final meaning.
Opportunity for redress for Iraqi victims in their own national jurisdiction is non-existent as Iraq remains occupied, its sovereign institutions dismantled and non-functioning. Despite numerous individual petitions submitted to its chief prosecutor, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has stated that it has no jurisdiction to hear cases of abuses and violations of human rights standards and international humanitarian law in Iraq. In light of US and UK threats to use permanent member veto power in the past, it is not foreseeable that the Security Council in the future will refer complaints in Iraq to the ICC, and nor can Iraqis wait for Security Council reform. Without effective investigation and prosecution of these abuses and violations, the international community runs the risk of allowing a precedent of unlawful action of such grave magnitude to be set without censure, thereby endangering the rights and dignity not only of Iraqis but also of people the world over. Such a precedent would be contrary to the UN Charter and the principles upon which the international order of states is deemed to be founded. The basis for public acceptance of a state of law is that it protects peace and defends the wellbeing of the people. Failure to investigate and effectively prosecute the catalogue of grave abuses and violations perpetrated by the respondents in Iraq, and against the Iraqi people, would constitute an ongoing and inherent threat to the basis of the international order in general and to international peace and security specifically.
Alongside those in official positions of authority, key political advisers, lobbyists, strategists and corporate representatives have also played a crucial role in the ideological and political justifications and legitimization sought and falsely proposed in order to execute the overall policy embraced, inclusive of an accumulated pattern of attacks, military and otherwise, that has lasted 19 years to date, culminating in the 2003 illegal war of aggression waged on Iraq and that continues to be executed despite wide and ongoing condemnation. Though there are nuances of responsibility inherent to the nature of policy construction and execution, the personal relations and interconnections between primary and secondary level individuals involved, and the groups or common circles to which they belong, testify to a large degree of cohesion present in intent and action among the respondents identified and those who support and benefit from the policies they have pursued. At the least, this shared intent is one of deliberate harm; at worst, it amounts to an objective intent to destroy for definable, and at times publicly enunciated, strategic, geopolitical and geo-economic reasons. Furthermore, none of the respondents can reasonably claim they did not have knowledge of the likely outcome of their policies, and those they supported, as all had not only participated in the design and execution of these policies, but they continued to execute said policies once their effects were widely known and had been proven to be detrimental to — and destructive of — the health, sovereignty and rights of the Iraqi people, and further have defended these policies and in majority continue to do so.
From the start of the implementation of a US-instigated and dominantly administered sanctions regime up to the present day, an approximate total of 2,700,000 Iraqis have died as a direct result of sanctions followed by the US-UK led war of aggression on, and occupation of, Iraq beginning in 2003. Among those killed during the sanctions period were 560,000 children. From 2003 onwards, having weakened Iraq’s civil and military infrastructure to the degree that its people were rendered near totally defenceless, Iraq was subject to a level of aggression of near unprecedented scale and nature in international history, occurring in parallel with the promotion of a partition plan for Iraq, the substantial direct funding of sectarian groups and militias that would play a key role in fragmenting the country under occupation, both administratively and in terms of national identity, the cancellation of the former state apparatus and the dismissal of its personnel entailing the collapse of all public services and state protection for the Iraqi people, the further destruction of the health and education systems of Iraq, and the creation of waves of internal and external displacement totaling nearly 5,000,000 Iraqis, or one fifth of the Iraqi population. By December 2007, the Iraqi Anti-Corruption Board reported that there were up to 5,000,000 orphans in Iraq, while the Iraqi Ministry of Women’s Affairs counts 3,000,000 widows as of 2009.
Such massive destruction of life, having as context a 19-year period of accumulated attacks, with numerous warnings and opportunities for remedy and a reversal of policy ignored, cannot be mere happenstance. Indeed, the paramount charge that must be investigated, and that plain fact evidence suggests, is that this level of destruction has been integral to the US and UK’s shared international policy for Iraq. The destruction in whole or in part of the Iraqi people as a national group, and depriving this group of all or the majority of its rights, appears from a reasoned account of the catalogue of violations, abuses and attacks to which the Iraqi people have been subject to be the unlawful means pursued purposely by the respondents in order to redraw by force the strategic and political map of the Arab region and Iraq’s place within that context, and to capture, appropriate and plunder, via the cancellation of the sovereignty of the Iraqi people and the destruction and fragmentation of their identity and unity as a national group, Iraq’s substantial natural energy resources. Historically, the Iraqi national group, variegated yet cohesive, was and continues to be, despite the aggression faced, firmly rooted in its overwhelming majority in the concept of citizenship of the Iraqi state — a state founded on public provision of services and a nationally owned energy industry. The policy that the respondents have sought and continue to seek to impose, that has entailed privatizing and seizing ownership of Iraqi citizens’ resources, along with the administrative and political partition of the former unitary state, is contrary to the basis of, and cohesion of, the Iraqi people as a national group.
Until prevented by effective legal investigation and precautionary action, it is highly likely that the combined US/UK strategy in Iraq will continue, though its tactics may change. Iraqis in the majority show no sign of surrendering their right to and belief in Iraqi citizenship, including sovereign control over Iraq’s natural resources. Between a belligerent foreign aggressor and a resilient, resistant people legal action is crucial to end the ongoing and by all likelihood perpetual slaughter of Iraqis and the destruction of their national identity and rights. We are before immoral and unlawful acts, contrary to the basis on which the international order of state sovereignty and peace and security rests, and that brought about and continue to pursue the destruction of the Iraqi state and attempted destruction of the Iraqi nation. Whereas 1,200,000 Iraqis, according to credible estimates, have lost their lives to violence since 2003 alone, the Iraqi people continue to lose their lives or at best live under constant fear of death, mutilation, detention, exile and lack of access to their rightful resources and freedoms. The sum of these conditions, the outcome of a pattern of purposeful action whose consequences could be foreseen, and of which detailed and compelling notice was served, situated in a context of false justifications, deceptions, and outright lies, and matched by the unlawful use of force, and disproportionate and indiscriminate use of force, amounts to substantive violations of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
As proof of the widespread impact of past and current US and UK policies, in 2009 the American Friends Service Committee, in collaboration with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), reported that some 80 per cent of Iraqis surveyed in Iraq had witnessed a shooting, 68 per cent had been interrogated or harassed by militias, 77 per cent had been affected by shelling/rocket attacks, 72 per cent had witnessed a car bombing, 23 per cent of Iraqis in Baghdad had had a family member kidnapped, and 75 per cent had had a family member or someone close to them murdered.
Military operations in Iraq from 2003 have already cost for the United States an estimated $800 billion, with long-term costs estimated at $1.8 trillion. By 2009, the estimated cost for the United Kingdom, according to figures released by the UK Ministry of Defence, was £8.4 billion ($13.7 billion). The United States continues to spend $12 billion on the war per month. There has been a total of 513,000 US soldiers deployed to Iraq since 2003. Some 170,000 were stationed during the “Surge” campaign of 2007, and 130,000 remain deployed as of June 2009. In addition to regular armed forces, the US administration is believed to employ up to 130,000 additional private security contractors and has refused to release official numbers in this regard. Security companies have been granted blanket immunity under Iraqi law. Equally, there is no effective mechanism, or hope, for Iraqis to hold US and UK forces to account directly.
The narration of facts that follows is substantiated with evidence detailed in the Annex. Other facts to be investigated while reported are not mentioned in the following.

COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE

Date: 7 Février 2010
DÉCLARATION SUR LE CLASSEMENT SANS SUITE DU CAS JURIDIQUE DE L'IRAQ EN ESPAGNE
DÉPOSÉ CONTRE QUATRE PRESIDENTS USA ET QUATRE PREMIERS MINISTRES BRITANNIQUES
POUR CRIMES DE GUERRE, CRIMES CONTRE L'HUMANITÉ ET GÉNOCIDE EN IRAK
MADRID / LE CAIRE: Les enquêtes publiques sur la décision de mener une guerre contre l'Irak qui gardent le silence sur les crimes commis, les victimes concernées, et ne prévoient pas de sanctions, quelle que soit leur issue, ne suffisent pas. Les actes illégaux doivent entraîner des conséquences: les morts et les meurtris méritent justice.
Le 6 Octobre 2009, travaillant avec et au nom de plaignants irakiens, nous avons déposé un recours devant la juridiction espagnole contre quatre présidents américains et quatre Premiers ministres du Royaume-Uni pour crimes de guerre, crimes contre l'humanité et génocide en Irak. Le cas présenté couvrait 19 ans, y compris, non seulement la destruction massive dont l'Irak a été victime à partir de 2003, mais aussi la période des sanctions au cours de laquelle 1,5 million de morts irakiens de plus que le taux naturel ont été enregistrés.
Nous avons porté l'affaire devant l'Espagne car ses lois de compétence universelle sont basées sur des principes consacrés dans sa constitution. L'humanité tout entière connaît les crimes commis en Irak par ceux que nous avons accusés, mais aucune juridiction ne les traduits en justice. Nous avons présenté avec les victimes irakiennes un cas solide, s'appuyant sur des preuves contenues dans plus de 900 documents et qui se réfèrent à des milliers de cas individuels à partir desquels un système de dommages accumulés et une intention peuvent être discernés.
Lorsque nous avons présenté notre cas, nous savions que le Sénat espagnol s'apprêtait à voter un amendement antérieur adopté par la Chambre basse du Parlement, visant à limiter l'application de la compétence universelle en Espagne. Nous étions conscients que cette restriction pouvait être rétroactive, et nous avons tenu compte de la teneur de l'amendement proposé dans le cas soumis.
Comme nous l'avions imaginé, 2009 s'est avérée être une triste année pour faire respecter les droits universels de l'homme et le droit international en Espagne. Un jour après que nous ayons déposé, la loi a été restreinte, et peu après, notre cas classé sans suite. Les cas d'une gravité telle que celle ci et pour lesquels, afin d'y faire face, la compétence universelle existe, sont devenus plus difficile à enquêter.
Une juridiction de plus tombe
En dépit d'avoir soumis une accusation de 110 pages référencées (dont l'introduction est jointe à cette déclaration), le procureur public espagnol et le juge affecté à notre cas ont déterminé qu'il n'y avait aucune raison de mener une enquête. Leurs arguments étaient erronés et auraient pu facilement être réfutés si l'on avait pu faire appel. Pour ce faire, nous avions besoin d'un avocat espagnol professionnel - soit à titre rémunéré ou en tant que bénévole, qui souhaite aider le peuple irakien dans sa lutte pour la justice. Comme nous avions peu de moyens, et pour d'autres raisons qui concernent principalement les affaires internes espagnoles qui ne sont pas notre préoccupation, nous n'avons pas pu obtenir un avocat qui soit en capacité de faire appel. Notre motion pour bénéficier d'un délai afin de trouver un avocat a été rejetée.
Nous continuons à croire que la mort violente de plus d'un million de personnes en Irak depuis seulement 2003, que l'occupation en cours des États-Unis - qui portent la responsabilité juridique directe - et que le déplacement de près d'un cinquième de la population irakienne du à la terreur que l'occupation a entraîné et incité, suggèrent fortement que les accusations que nous mettons en avant doivent être davantage enquêtées.
En réalité, notre cas est un exemple de première importance de cas dont les autorités de l'Occident - y compris l'Espagne - ont peur. Pour eux, ces cas représentent le double tranchant de soutenir le principe de compétence universelle. Les États Occidentaux ont utilisé la compétence universelle dans le passé pour juger les pays du Tiers Monde. Lorsque les victimes dans le Sud global ont commencé à l'utiliser afin de juger Israël et les agressions des États-Unis, les pays occidentaux se sont précipités pour la restreindre. La tendance générale est maintenant l'abandon de la compétence universelle en la diluant.
Appel à un effort collectif plus large pour mener des poursuites
Nous regrettons que les tribunaux espagnols aient refusé d'enquêter sur notre cas, mais cela ne nous découragera pas. Nous avons une cause juste. Les crimes sont évidents. Les responsables sont bien connus même si le système juridique international continue d'ignorer les victimes irakiennes. La justice pour les victimes et le souhait de toute l'humanité que les criminels de guerre doivent être punis, nous obligent à rechercher des possibilités judiciaires alternatives, pour que les crimes commis en Irak puissent être enquêtés et la responsabilité établie.
À l'heure actuelle, la justice internationale inefficace permet à des criminels de guerre américains et britanniques de se placer au-dessus du droit international. Ayant compris que cela constitue une attaque - ou rend possible des attaques futures - sur les droits fondamentaux de tous, partout, nous continuerons à préconiser l'utilisation de toutes les voies possibles, y compris: les institutions des Nations Unies, la Cour pénale internationale et les tribunaux populaires, afin de porter l'attention sur et de traduire devant la loi et devant l'opinion morale et publique, les crimes américains et britanniques en Irak.
Nous sommes prêts à mettre notre expérience et notre expertise à la disposition de ceux qui luttent dans la même direction. Nous attendons avec impatience le moment où les pays de l'hémisphère Sud, qui sont généralement les victimes d'agression, renforceront leur système juridique par l'application du principe de compétence universelle. Ce sera un grand service à l'humanité et au droit international.
Des millions de personnes en Irak ont été tuées, déplacées, terrorisées, détenues, torturées ou appauvries sous le marteau des attaques militaires, économiques, politiques, idéologiques et culturelles américaines et britanniques. Le tissu et l'existence même du pays ont été soumis à la destruction intentionnelle. Cette destruction constitue l'un des crimes internationaux les plus graves jamais commis. L'humanité toute entière doit s'unir en refusant que le droit - en omettant d'assurer la justice pour les victimes irakiennes - permette à cette destruction d'être le précédent inaugurant le 21e siècle.
