-Caveat Lector- excerpts from: http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.6/bofe.html Dave Hartley http://www.Asheville-Computer.com http://www.ioa.com/~davehart "The doctrine of British-Israelism and the Lost Ten Tribes was intended to forge a political alliance between the British monarchy and the Jews of Amsterdam, through a merger of the Arthurian Imperial tradition with Cabalistic interpretations of the Hebrew scriptures. What had happened was that after the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492, some of them went East to the Ottoman Empire—the Islamic world being at the time more religiously tolerant than Christendom. Within Europe itself many of the Jews moved to Italy, particularly Venice, while other Jews and marranos migrated from Spain and Portugal to Amsterdam. The Jewish merchants and bankers of Amsterdam were seen by the British Monarchy as desirable allies in the financial and political war with Spain, as well as in the spiritual war with the Vatican. Amsterdam thus became the springboard for the return of the Jews to England, from which they had been expelled in 1290. To forge ties between Jewish merchants and British Imperialists, John Dee created the concept of British-Israel, which gave the British and the Jews a common racial identity, and invoked biblical prophecy to show the inevitable triumph of British Imperialism: the British, as Abraham's seed, were to inherit the earth. Dee also introduced the Jewish Cabala to the British ruling class and its interlocking network of European royal dynasties. All this set the stage for the later absorption of European Jewish merchants and bankers into British society. In essence, the dissemination of the British-Israel doctrine was an intelligence coup carried out by the British Monarchy." "For example, in the 1890s, as Britain began to fear a militarist Germany, Cecil Rhodes and William Stead founded a secret society to revive support for British Imperialism. Members included Alfred (later Lord) Milner and Arthur (Lord) Balfour. As governor-general of South Africa, Milner recruited a youthful group of administrators from Oxford and elsewhere. These were known as Milner's Kindergarten. To promote their geopolitical ideals, they established Round Table Groups in the British dependencies and the U.S., as well as think tanks like the Royal Institute of International Affairs and the Council on Foreign Relations. The stated intention of the society was to spread British upper class ideals to the world's masses. In practice, however, the Round Table Groups were principally used as an outlet for anti-German propaganda. In this case—to counter the growing power of Germany—appeal was made to Britain's former colony in the New World: namely, to America. It was the Round Table connections of "Colonel" E. M. House, the principal advisor to President Wilson, that lead in 1913 to the establishment of the Federal Reserve and the graduated Income Tax in the U.S. You needed both of these, of course, to provide the financial basis to create an American war machine. World War I broke out the following year. But prior to the outbreak, House wrote to Wilson: "Whenever England consents, France and Russia will close in on Germany and Austria." "It is easy to see what was going on if you look at the history of The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. The first edition was published in Russian in 1901. Afterward it was translated into English by George Shanks and issued through the Eyre and Spottiswoode Publishing House, the printer of all official releases by the British Royal Family. Coming from such a prestigious printer, the book quickly sold 30,000 copies before being withdrawn under pressure from the Rothschilds. But a few years later Henry H. Beamish founded "The Britons," a "Society to protect the Birthright of Britons, and to eradicate Alien influence from our politics and industries." The Britons proceeded to distribute The Protocols worldwide. In short—the battle with the Vatican long since won—the Monarchy kept the Jews on a short leash, through a carrot and stick policy. Assimilation into society and support for a homeland was the carrot, while The Protocols was the stick." DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
