A WEEKLY COMMENTARY
Year Twenty-Seven ... Number Five ... February 1, 1980
ALONG TREASON HIGHWAY
Consider these events and these developments:
Could anyone imagine a more perfect setting for the preparatory stages of a Third World War? The question is asked by Ivor Benson, recognized as one of the world's best informed men on the subject of International Conspiracy. He is editor of "Behind the News," issued monthly by the National Forum of South Africa. Answering his own question he writes, and we quote:

"What is most alarming about the present situation .. are the many signs that another global conflagration is precisely what certain powerfully placed individuals want and need for the attainment of long-range objectives which they have been pursuing with great determination for many years -- and which they now appear to need with desparate urgency. For these men, in their pursuit of power, have created problems which cannot possibly be solved -- but which could conceivably be removed only by total war involving all; problems like that of a debauched monetary system with its attendant phenomena of runaway inflation and mountains of irredeemable debt, and the problem of a Zionist state whose ultimate survival is unthinkable except on the ruins of the Arab and Islamic world." "There was, however," Mr. Benson continues, "no need to wait until today to see the signs that for some people a third world war always was regarded as both desirable and necessary. As long ago as 1951, Douglas Reed, for some years chief correspondent of the London Times, wrote this: 'The plan, I think, is the old one of world domination in a new form ... Today, the scene is set for the third act, intended to complete the process. The money power and the revolutionary power have been set up and given sham but symbolic shapes [capitalism or communism] and sharply defined citadels [America or Russia]. Suitably to alarm the mass-mind, the picture offered is bleak and hopeless enmity and confrontation' ... Such is the spectacle publicly staged for the masses. But what if similar men, with a common aim, secretly rule in both camps and propose to achieve their ambition through the clash between those masses? I believe any diligent student of our times will discover that this is the case. Bolshevism was launched from the West and the Soviet war machine is itself a product of western technolgy, industry and finance." (Unquote). |
Recent events seem to confirm Mr. Benson's diagnosis. The controlled media no longer denies that "Carter caused the Iranian crisis." An article appearing in The Washington Post notes that "On or about Jan. 3, 1979, Air Force Gen. Robert E. (Dutch) Huyser ... arrived in Tehran at the express direction of President Carter .. According to State Department and Pentagon sources the purpose of Huyser's mission was 'to pull the rug out on the shah.' These sources say Huyser's marching orders were:
Those U.S.-trained generals obeyed Huyser's command, and were later executed by Khomeini's terrorist followers. Carter, the State Department and the Pentagon were warned almost daily that to leave the American Embassy staff in Tehran would bring about their being held as hostages -- or worse. But, the warnings were ignored. Perhaps deliberately, in order to create a crisis.
Similar warnings were given about the Afghanistan invasion. U.S. authorities learned of the invasion which they expected, and then expressed surprise and shock that Russia would are to do such a thing! Even more, the Councilor, a monthly publication which calls itself "a source of suppressed news," devoted its front page of the November 1979 issue to the story of how the U.S. Army cooperated with the Soviets to jointly build the highway that was used for the invasion. The story begins: "When Soviet troops and tanks moved into Kabul ... they did so with the help of your federal income tax dollars ... the action presages long-term U.S. military involvement in the Mideast which could eventually cost the life of your son or grandson .. In 1965-67, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers worked with the Kremlin to build a beautiful concrete highway in Afghanistan, near the Soviet border ... At that time the Councilor predicted the day would come when this Treason Highway would be used for Soviet expansion." Accompanying the article is an official photograph, showing work progress on the "Treason Highway." The tanks and trucks used in the invasion of Afghanistan were, of course, the product of U.S. technology and were built in plants constructed and equipped according to blueprints supplied by U.S. multinational cartelists.
Wilmot Robertson in his book "The Dispossed Majority," page 443, refers to a "denationalized" (or internationalized) U.S. foreign policy that "has many heads and hearts, but no soul. It supports imperialism in one part of the world and opposes it in another. It upholds democratic principles in some areas and violates them in others. It gives money and arms to anti-American regimes and boycotts pro-American governments. It demands total opposition to Russian aggression in the Middle East, but tolerates it ninety miles from Floria. If there is any doubt who is and who is not running America one has only to count the disasters inflicted upon the Majority since the day it lost control of American foreign relations." The author then gives June 8, 1915, as "as good a date as any" to mark the end of nationalism as the guiding ideology of American foreign policy. That was the date when William Jennings Bryan resigned as President Woodrow Wilson's Secretary of State in protest against the Wilson administration's "bristling interventionism" into that war which was to make the world safe for democracy, but really made it safe for Bolshevism.
To use Ivor Benson's phrase, "any diligent student of our times" will know that this "bristling interventionism" came about as a result of the work of one Edward Mandell House, a colonel by courtesy of the State of Texas. With Wilson forefronting the effort, House and his associates created that first attempt at world government called the League of Nations, and had its covenant inserted into the text of the peace treaty that was to end World War I. But the U.S. Senate rejected that treaty. So House and his group cooperated with a British group of like persuasion to create international organizations that would continue to work for the establishment of a world government. The British group came to be known as the Royal Institute of International Affairs, while the American group calls itself the Council on Foreign Relations.
When House faded from the scene he was replaced by Bernard Baruch as chief spokesman for the International Power Brokers. Senator Holmes Capeheart of Indiana was to write: "In the Wilson Administration, the mysterious figure of Colonel House flittered over the field of American foreign relations. In the administrations of President Hoover, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the Truman continuance of the Roosevelt administration, we find the similar figure of Bernard Baruch ... It seems a proper question - Who is this man? What power makes him the super-brain through three presidential administrations?" There also was Felix Frankfurter, to whom Theodore Roosevelt wrote under date of Dec. 19, 1917: " ... You have taken and are taking, on behalf of the Administration, an attitude which seems to me to be fundamentally that of Trotsky and the other Bolsheviki leaders in Russia, an attitude which may be fraught with mischief to this country." There also was Harold J. Laski, of the London Fabian Society who was established at Harvard U. to collaborate with the New Deal Braintrusters in Socializing and Internationalizing the Nation. Perhaps the most damaging of all was the Fabian Socialist John Maynard Keynes, author of a work on economics which was adopted by FDR and all succeeding presidents. At the beginning of World War II, the Council on Foreign Relations took control of U.S. foreign policy and remains in control through its satellite, the Trilateral Commission. During the World War II period collaboration with the Communists become fashionable and such names as Alger Hiss, Harry Dexter White, Leo Pasvolsky, etc., became prominent.
But since "the Russian Connection" is the principal theme of this report, let us go back to the beginning. During and after World War I Western financiers supported the Bolshevik conquest of Imperial Russia. These Western sources supported Communism, prevented it from falling. Then, when it came time for the launching of World War II, Communist Russia came to be accepted as ally and friend of the Western powers. Representatives of the U.S. and the Soviet Union collaborated to create the United Nations as a replacement for the ineffective League of Nations. At this time it was decided by the Invisible Powers that the best way to complete their plans for the establishment of a New World Order would be to develop two superpowers (US and USSR) who could sometimes cooperate with each other, sometimes compete with each other, even to the fighting of limited wars such as Korea, Vietnam, and possibly the Persian Gulf. By manipulating these superpowers, and then by creating a Third World Power, a Regional World Government could be established -- or so thought the International Bankers and the Monopoly Capitalists.
Behind this scheme and directing its operations is an international network of organizations associated with and cooperating with the Council on Foreign Relations. So, when the President of CFR said recently that the Trilateral Commission does not run the world, that the Council on Foreign Relations does, he could be right when the CFR's global associates are considered. More or less well known are the Bilderbergers, the Trilateral Commission, the Foreign Policy Associations, the Brookings Institution, the Aspen Institute, the wealthy tax-exempt foundations, etc. But the 33 International Affars Institutes (of which CFR is one) are seldom if ever mentioned in public. And the fact that the USSR and its satellite countries form a part of this network of International institutes, is a closely guarded secret. Here are the names of these organizations:
This global network of Institutes, plus such organizations as the Trilateral Commission, Bilderbergers, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, International Banks, Multinational Corporations, Media Conglomerates, Specialized Agencies of the UN, Think-Tanks, Tax-Exempt Foundations: these comprise the global team that promotes the New World Order. It has never hesitated to promote war if that serves its purpose. Not everything that happens is planned. But very little happens which this Conspiracy cannot turn to its own advantage. This is our great danger: that war may be advantageous to the Conspirators, and that the masses may respond.
