CHRESTOMATHY IN WORLD POLITICS OF THE “PAID ENEMY”<br />
— from William T. Stead to Zbigniew Brzezinski —<br />
An influential journalist, occultist, and, with his magnate friend, Cecil Rhodes, a founder of the<br />
British-American “pressure group”, The Round Table.<br />
“In discussing elsewhere the question as to the forces which would tend to bring the United States of<br />
Europe into the most visible and tangible existence, I pointed out that there were two elements that were<br />
needed if the Federation of Europe was to be attained by the same road as that by which other<br />
federations had been brought about on a similar scale: The first and the most necessary is the existence of<br />
some extraordinary force sufficiently powerful to necessitate the union of those whose existence it<br />
threatens. In other words, in order to found a Kingdom of Heaven it is necessary that you must have an<br />
effective working Devil. … The other element which is lacking is a central power sufficiently strong to<br />
compel the recalcitrant States to come into the alliance. (in: The United States of Europe, 1899, New York,<br />
Doubleday & McClure)<br />

The father of the British geopolitics.<br />
“A victorious Roman general, when he entered the city, amid all the head-turning splendor of a<br />
'Triumph', had behind him on the chariot a slave who whispered into his ear that he was mortal. When<br />
our statesmen are in conversation with the defeated enemy, some airy cherub should whisper to them<br />
from time to time this saying: Who rules Eastern Europe commands the Heartland [or “geographical<br />
pivot”: Russia, Central Asia, Caspian region]; Who rules the Heartland commands the World-Island<br />
[Eurasian continent]; Who rules the World-Island commands the World.” (in: Democratic Ideals and<br />
Reality, New York, 1919, p. 150.)<br />

“Lieutenant Commander Arthur McCollum, a U.S. Naval officer in the Office of Naval Intelligence<br />
(ONI), saw an opportunity to counter the U.S. isolationist movement by provoking Japan into a state of<br />
war with the U.S., triggering the mutual assistance provisions of the Tripartite Pact, and bringing<br />
America into World War II. Memorialized in McCollum's secret memo, dated October 7, 1940, the ONI<br />
proposal called for eight provocations aimed at Japan. Its centerpiece was keeping the might of the U.S.<br />
Fleet based in the Territory of Hawaii as a lure for a Japanese attack. President Roosevelt acted swiftly…<br />
The intercept summaries were clear: Pearl Harbor would be attacked on December 7, 1941, by Japanese<br />
forces advancing through the Central and North Pacific Oceans. On November 27 and 28, 1941, Admiral<br />
Kimmel and General Short were ordered to remain in a defensive posture for ´the United States desires<br />
that Japan commit the first overt act.´ The order came directly from President Roosevelt.” (Day of Deceit<br />
— the Truth about FDR and Pearl Harbor, Free Press, 2000)<br />
