Is anyone still gullible enough to believe in Britain's independence?
When British Prime Ministers have to get permission to form a
government from Rupert Murdoch and George Bush!

The Untaught Syllabus – Quotes To Enlighten: Who Owns Britain? (And
Who Gave It To Them?) "The Sceptre Passes."

THE SCEPTRE PASSES.
"The question of leadership need hardly arise. If any permanently
closer association of the two nations is achieved, an island people
of fifty millions cannot expect to be the senior partner. The centre
of gravity and the ultimate decision must increasingly lie with
America. We cannot resent this historical development."
(The Economist Oct 19 1940.)
"Whatever the outcome of the war, America has embarked on a career of
imperialism in world affairs and in every other aspect of her life...
Even though by our aid England should emerge from this struggle
without defeat, she will be so impoverished economically and crippled
in prestige that it is improbable that she will be able to resume or
maintain the dominant position in world affairs that she has occupied
for so long.
At best, England will become a junior partner in a new Anglo-Saxon
imperialism in which the economic resources and the military and
naval strength of the United States will be the centre of gravity…
The sceptre passes to the United States."
(President of the US National Industrial Conference Board Virgil
Jordan, to the Annual Convention of the Investment Bankers'
Association of America, Hollywood, Dec 10 1940.)
"Whether we like it or not, we must all recognise that the victory
which we have won has placed upon the American people the continuing
burden of responsibility for world leadership. The future peace of
the world will depend in large part upon whether or not the United
States shows that it is really determined to continue its role as a
leader among nations."
(US President Truman's message to Congress, Dec 19 1945.)
"My dear Americans, we may be short of dollars, but we are not short
of will... We won't let you down. Standards of life may go back. We
may have to say to our miners and to our steel workers: "We can't
give you all we hoped for. We can't give you the houses we want you
to live in. We can't give you the amenities we desire to give you."
But we won't fail."
(British Labour Foreign Secretary Bevin to the American Legion, Savoy
Hotel, London, Sept 10 1947.)
"Today Americans know that they are the dominant Power in the world;
they take pride in the position, they accept the responsibility of
it, and they expect the rest of us to respect their leadership."
(Tory Lord Woolton, Sunday Times, July 16 1950.)
"The Western Powers have got to be strong... They have got to be
perfectly clear as to the kind of world they want and stand for it
until they get it."
(British Labour Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin, House of Parliament,
Oct 17 1950.)
"Mr. Bevin went to New York, determined to prevent the precipitate
rearmament of Germany... He failed... Faced with an American
ultimatum... he toed the line."
(New Statesman and Nation, Dec 2 1950.)
"We British must recognise that American policy must prevail, if
there is an honest difference of opinion between us as to what to do
next in the world struggle. He who pays the piper calls the tune."
(Labour MP Commander King-Hall, National Newsletter, June 28 1951.)
"Do we need Britain? The British Empire, for all its reduced power,
has a valuable string of naval bases around the world - Gibralter,
Hong Kong, Malta, Suez, Aden, Singapore, to mention the most
important... The colonies take one into the economic sphere - tin,
rubber, uranium and other raw materials... We need Britain."
(New York Times, Jan 9 1952.)
NOT ABOUT OIL? THEY MUST BE JOKING!
"Behind the conflict in the Near East is OIL. Britain owns rich wells
in Iraq … Socialists … [must] … condemn the Oil Imperialism of
Britain and America and demand the pooling of all the oil resources
of the world according to the needs of the peoples."
(Lord Fenner Brockway, 1947.)
"By the use of economic aid we succeeded in getting access to Iranian
oil and we are now well established in the economy of that country.
The strengthening of our economic position in Iran has enabled us to
acquire control over her foreign policy and in particular to make her
join the Bagdad Pact. At the present time the Shah would not dare
even to make any changes in his cabinet without consulting our
Ambassador."
(Letter from US Council on Foreign Relations member millionaire
Nelson Rockefeller to President Eisenhower, January 1956.)
"Our aim is not simply to appropriate oil in one way or another (say
in easily accessible Nigeria or Venezuela) but to crush OPEC.
Therefore we have to use direct force in order to get hold of large
and concentrated oil deposits which can be opened up rapidly so as to
put an end to the artificial oil shortage and thus to lower the
price... Since this is the ultimate and there is only one target
possible: Saudi Arabia... Fortunately, these are not only rich
oilfields but they are also concentrated in a very small area, a
fraction of the Saudi Arabian territory... While Vietnam was full of
trees and brave people and our national interest was almost
invisible, what we have here is no trees, very few people and a clear
objective."
(Advisor to the US Defence Department Professor Miles Ignotas, March
1975.)
"The economic health and well-being of the United States, Western
Europe, Japan depend upon continued access to the oil from the
Persian area."
(President Carter, Department of State Bulletin, April 1978.)
"Western industrialised societies are largely dependent on the oil
resources of the Middle East region and a threat to access to that
oil would constitute a grave threat to the vital national interests.
This must be dealt with; and that does not exclude the use of force
if necessary."
(US Secretary of State Alexander Haig, March 11 1981.)
"Regret what? That secret operation [supporting Mujaheddin against
the Afghan Government BM] was an excellent idea. It had the effect of
drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to forget
it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote
to President Carter: We now have the opportunity of giving to the
USSR its Vietnam War. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to
carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that
brought about the demoralisation and finally the break-up of the
Soviet empire."
(US National Security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, interviewed in Le
Nouvel Observateur, France, January 15 1998.)
"In the future, we are more likely to be involved in Iraq-type
things, Panama-type things, Grenada-type things… Our position should
be the protection of the oilfields. Now whether Kuwait gets put back,
that's subsidiary stuff."
(Chairman of US Armed Services Committee Les Aspin, 1990.)
"…turkey shoot… almost like you flipped on the light in the kitchen
at night and the cockroaches start scurrying, and we're killing them."
(US Fighter pilot Colonel Richard White, Iraq, February 1991.)
"It would be tragic if the nations of the Middle East and the Persian
Gulf were now to embark on a new arms race."
(US President Bush, March 23 1991.)
"The US has emerged from the war as the Gulf's premier arms seller.
The White House has told Congress in a classified report it wanted
five Middle East allies to buy an $18 billion package of top drawer
weapons."
(New York Times March 26 1991.)
"We think the price is worth it."
(US Ambassador to UN Madeleine Albright, when asked on TV whether
half a million children dying as a result of US sanctions against
Iraq, May 12 1996. Albright was then appointed US Secretary of
State. )
"They know we own their country [Iraq]. We own their airspace… We
dictate the way they live and talk. And that's what's great about
America right now. It's a good thing, especially when there's a lot
of oil out there we need."
(US Brigadier General William Looney, Washington Post, August 30
1999.)
CARRYING THE SCEPTRE – THE NEW WORLD POLICEMAN.
"We must be prepared for waging a conventional war that may extend to
many parts of the globe. Many of the resources that we need for
energy and many essential strategic minerals are found thousands of
miles from our shores... If we are to safeguard our access, and the
access of the free world, to these resources, we must increase our
military and naval strength."
(US Defence Secretary Caspar Weinberger, April 28 1981.)
"As the largest producer, the largest source of capital, and the
biggest contributor to the global mechanism, we must set the pace and
assume the responsibility of the majority stockholder in this
corporation known as the world... Nor is this for a given term of
office. This is a permanent obligation."
(Leo D. Welch, Secretary-Treasurer of US Standard Oil Company, 1946.)
"It will become increasingly difficult in the near future to protect
US overseas interests with conventional weapons... I have in mind
situations far from our shores,... where we would have difficulty,
from a logistics point of view, at least, in reaching the areas in
which we have considerable US interests.
…we have an added motivation... the need for the United States to
look more and more overseas for the resources to provide economic
strength... we will be looking increasingly towards Africa and the
Middle East, as well as South America, for the materials required by
our industrial economy... We will require free access and intercourse
with many far distant nations of the world in order to remain a
leading export - import nation…
We may have confrontations with nuclear or non-nuclear nations whose
geographical location is such that we have no adequate means of
protecting our interests with conventional weapons... The use of
nuclear weapons with varying capabilities might be the only effective
method of accomplishing our objectives, protecting our interests, and
minimising the overall death and destruction that might accrue."
(US Vice Admiral Gerald E Miller, Congressional Testimony, March 18
1976.)
"The United States, as an island nation heavily dependent on overseas
raw materials, must continue its forward deployment of forces in Asia
and the Pacific region. There is no cheaper way to American security."
(US Defence Secretary Frank Carlucci.)
"Fate has written our policy for us; the trade of the world must and
can be ours. And we shall get it, as our Mother England has told us
how... We will cover the ocean with our merchant marine. We will
build a navy to the measure of our greatness... Our institutes will
follow our trade… American law, American order, American
civilisation, and the American flag will plant themselves on shores
hitherto bloody and benighted, by those agencies of God henceforth
made beautiful and bright."
(US Senator Albert Beveridge, 1898.)
"You know, there was a time when our national security was based on a
standing army here within our own borders and shore batteries of
artillery along our coasts... The world has changed. Today, our
national security can be threatened in far away places. It is up to
all of us to be aware of the strategic importance of such places and
to be able to identify them... ...all are vital to us and if it went
to world powers hostile to the free world, there would be a direct
threat to the United States and to our allies."
(Ronald Reagan, in a Television Address, Oct 27 1983.)
"In Asia our efforts were far less successful... the conception of
force was too nakedly shown, too much stress was laid on the military
side, while we largely ignored the importance of preliminary economic
preparations for the alliances we wished to make. But the same
military measures will often be found unobjectionable if the way to
them is paved with economic aid...
The most significant example in practice of what I mean was the
Iranian experiment with which, as you will remember, I was directly
concerned. By the use of economic aid we succeeded in getting access
to Iranian oil and we are now well established in the economy of that
country. The strengthening of our economic position in Iran has
enabled us to acquire control over her foreign policy and in
particular to make her join the Bagdad Pact. At the present time the
Shah would not dare even to make any changes in his cabinet without
consulting our Ambassador...
For us to have in Asia, Africa and other under-developed areas a
political and military influence as great or greater than we obtained
through the Marshall Plan in Europe. It is necessary for us to act
carefully and patiently, and in the early stages confine ourselves to
securing very modest political concessions in exchange for our
economic aid (in some exceptional cases even without any concessions
in return). The way will then be open to us, but at a later stage, to
step up both our political price and our military demands...
In this case governmental subsidies and credits may take the form of
military appropriations. The hooked fish needs no bait. At the same
time economic support for those strata of the local business
community which are ready to co-operate with the US should be
increased and the necessary conditions would be created for
businessmen of this type to be put in key economic positions and
accordingly for their political influence to be increased.
...the main emphasis in economic assistance as regards government
subsidies and credits should be on creating conditions in which
eventually the economic relations established by us would work for
and make it natural for these countries to join military pacts and
alliances inspired by us. The essence of this policy should be that
the development of our economic relations with these countries would
ultimately allow us to take over key positions in the native
economy... By this means we can hope to divert the foreign policy of
these countries in a more desirable direction...
...support should be given in particular... to native businessmen who
are struggling against their colonial status.
...if we do not support them we lose all hope of exercising a
restraining influence on them until it is too late. If this happens
the desire for independence may result in a nationalism so strong as
to escape not only from the control of the old colonial powers but
also from our own control.
Extensive economic aid... should always be presented as an expression
of a sincere and disinterested desire on the part of the US to help
and co-operate with them."
(Letter from US Council on Foreign Relations member millionaire
Nelson Rockefeller to President Eisenhower, January 1956.)
"International military information …influence the emotions, motives,
objective reasoning and ultimately the behaviour of foreign
governments, organisations, groups and individuals."
(US government International Public Information charter, Washington
Post, July 28 1999.)
"Now the Pacific has become an Anglo-Saxon lake, and our line of
defence runs through the chain of islands fringing the coast of Asia."
(US General MacArthur, Daily Mail March 2 1949.)
"For defensive purposes the sovereignty of the United States extends
to the whole continent."
(US Secretary of State Richard Olney, 1895.)

British school and college history, economics, sociology and business
studies syllabus teaching and books do not contain any of this
information.
All the material and information I have presented here is readily
available to historians, writers, journalists, teachers, educators
and syllabus publishers. Although I have spent many hundreds of hours
gathering it all together, I did not have to look very far to find
any of it.
When as a trainee history lecturer, it was suggested I take the class
on a trip to the Tower of London and then set them an essay on what
life was like for a soldier in King Charles' Army centuries ago. Very
useful knowledge that! A sociology of the past perhaps? But certainly
not history in its most important sense; unless history is to mean
anything old or `interesting' that you can do in evening classes,
like antiques, flower arranging or basket weaving. When instead I
taught real history, learning from the past in order to change the
future, the collective life-experience of humanity, I was got rid of.
The head of the history department complained that the students had
remarked that I made them think; which the head of history had
probably never done in a lifetime of teaching. I ended up washing and
cleaning and emptying human surgical waste in a hospital.
Unless teachers learn to be brave and intellectually honest
(difficult when they have a mortgage and bills to pay), future
historical, social and economic education and popular `knowledge'
will also not refer to the US or British history and continuing
complicity in global plunder, exploitation, domination and control,
wars of aggrandisement and acquisition, causing the deaths and
devastation of the homes and lands of millions of people – the
thousands of children under the age of two who will die tonight
through simple lack of clean water, medicine and education – the
untold millions of unnecessary deaths among the overwhelming majority
of humanity on this incredibly rich and abundant and ultimately
sustainable earth.
