1.  The Dark Forces

Ruskin, Rhodes, Milner and the Federation of the World

The story you are about to read is incredible but true... It is about secret societies, how they have directed the course of civilization and how they influence your life today... I have studied history for over fifty years, and the longer I live the more convinced I have become that it is impossible to grasp what is taking place today without an understanding of the secret societies. (p. 8-9).

Most people have never heard of Lord Tennyson's most important poem, "Locksley Hall" (1842). He wrote it to popularize his belief that Great Britain had a moral obligation to consolidate the world under British rule... I will quote only the most important sections of "Locksley Hall": (p. 13)

"For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be...
Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew
From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue...

Till the war-drum throbb'd no longer, and the battle flags were furl'd
In the Parliament of Man, the Federation of the world.
There the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in awe,
And the kindly earth shall slumber, lapt in universal law."

Thirty years after Lord Tennyson penned these words, professor John Ruskin, who taught at Oxford University, embraced Tennyson's vision... Many of the young men who sat in his classes were enthralled by his ideas, and they dedicated their lives to fulfilling his dream. When they graduated, many of them entered government service, and by the early 1900s they held strategic positions in the English government. They were the men who were responsible for creating, and then prolonging, World War I...because they realized that countries would never relinquish their sovereignty unless they recognized the futility of war... (p. 14)

Edward Bellamy wrote "Looking Backward: 2000-1887" in 1888, and he advocated socialism and world government [E1]... Bellamy described the world he envisioned with the advent of the new millenium, and his predictions were truly remarkable... He foresaw large corporations taken over by larger corporations until finally all commerce was merged into a single corporation, The Great Trust: (p. 15)

"The nation...organized as the one great business corporation in which all other corporations were absorbed; it became the one capitalist in the place of all other capitalists, the sole employer, the final monopoly in which all previous and lesser monopolies were swallowed up, a monopoly in the profits and economies of which all citizens shared. The epoch of trusts had ended in The Great Trust." [1]

He envisioned the coming world government when he wrote:

"...I, who, having beheld in a vision the world I looked on, sang of it in words that again and again, during these last wondrous days, had rung in my mind:

"For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew
From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue;

Till the war-drum throbb'd no longer, and the battle flags were furl'd
In the Parliament of Man, the Federation of the world.
There the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in awe,
And the kindly earth shall slumber, lapt in universal law."

Shortly after his book was published, Bellamy Clubs began forming across the United States. As the movement for socialism and world government spread, a number of wealthy men embraced Bellamy's concepts. Among them was Andrew Carnegie... He funded several foundations with instructions that their grant making power was to be used to transform society and promote world government... Under socialism...everyone is controlled by the government, the government is controlled by politicians, and politicians are bought and sold by wealthy men and corporations. That is why Andrew Carnegie, and other men of great wealth, favor socialism. Andrew Carnegie embraced Lord Tennyson's vision in 1893 in his book "Triumphant Democracy", when he wrote: (p. 16-17)

"The Parliament of Man and the Federation of the World have already been hailed by the poet, and these mean a step much farther in advance of the proposed reunion of Britain and America... I say that as surely as the sun in the heavens once shown upon Britain and America united, so surely is it one morning to rise, shine upon, and greet again the reunited state, "The British-American Union." [2]

One hundred years later, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. wrote an article that appeared on the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal [in October, 1993]:

"The world of law will not be attained by exhortation... Let us not kid ourselves that we can have a new world order without paying for it in blood as well as in money. Maybe the costs of enforcement are too great. National interest narrowly construed may well be the safer rule. But let us recognize that we are surrendering a noble dream.

Remember those lines of Tennyson that Churchill called "the most wonderful of modern prophecies" and that Harry Truman carried in his wallet throughout his life:

"For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew
From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue;

Till the war-drum throbb'd no longer, and the battle flags were furl'd
In the Parliament of Man, the Federation of the world."

Did Winston Churchill really want Great Britain to surrender its national sovereignty? Why did Harry Truman carry Lord Tennyson's poem in his wallet throughout his life? Is it possible that both men were members of the arcane societies? Most people have forgotten the strange things that happened during Harry Truman's presidency. First, he signed the United Nations Charter, knowing full well that the U.N. was designed to become the government of the world. Then he ceded control of Eastern Europe and China to the communists... (p. 18)

Rudyard Kipling penned [these] words in 1902, and they were read at Cecil John Rhodes' funeral: (p. 21)

The intense and brooding spirit still,
Shall quicken and control.
Living he was the land,
And dead, his soul shall be her soul.

If there was ever a man whose legacy lived on after his death, it was Cecil John Rhodes... Very few people associate the name of Rhodes with the current effort to establish a world government. It is well known, however, to his followers and members of the arcane societies. In 1877, [he] laid out his plan to unite the world under Anglo-Saxon rule. He knew he would never live to see his undertaking completed, but he dedicated his life [and fortune] to that cause... (p. 22)

When he was a student at Oxford University, he attended John Ruskin's inaugural lecture, and he was so impressed with Ruskin's concepts that he wrote them down in longhand and carried them with him the rest of his life, just as Harry Truman carried Lord Tennyson's poem in his wallet throughout his life. Cecil Rhodes wrote a "Confession of Faith" in 1877, [in part]:

"Why should we not form a secret society with but one object, the furtherance of the British Empire, for the bringing of the whole uncivilized world under British rule, for the recovery of the United States, for the making [of] the Anglo-Saxon race but one Empire... [3]

Cecil Rhodes acquired the major gold and diamond mines of southern Africa and used his wealth to pursue his dream. In 1891, he established a secret society... He left his vast fortune to the Rhodes Trust to fund his secret society and the Rhodes Scholarship Fund. [4] During the past century over 4600 young men have been sent to Oxford University where they were indoctrinated in socialism and world government. President Bill Clinton, General Wesley Clark, Strobe Talbott, Senator Bill Bradley, and thousands of other prominent men are Rhodes Scholars.
