H.G. Wells Lord Bertrand Russell

The men of the New Republic will hold that a certain portion of the population exists only on sufferance . . . and on the understanding that they do not propagate; and I do not foresee any reason to suppose that they will hesitate to kill when that sufferance is abused.

—H.G. Wells, Anticipations

If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. . . . The state of affairs might be somewhat unpleasant, but what of it? Really high-minded people are indifferent to happiness, especially other people's.

—Bertrand Russell, Impact of Science on Society

In 1945, the Satanic evil of Adolf Hitler's Germany was decisively defeated. In 1989-91, the Soviet empire collapsed without a shot being fired. Yet, despite the elimination of these evil forces, responsible for the slaughter of millions, the world today is hurtling toward a condition of immiseration, wars, and chaos that can only be described as a New Dark Age.

How that is possible, and how to stop it: This is the theme of this article. But this question cannot be approached with a regurgitation of objective facts. We have to concentrate on what has happened inside the minds of populations and leaders, that allow the great promise of these victories over tyranny to be squandered, up to this moment.

Start by thinking about how certain attitudes of the American population—including yours— have changed. Up until the beginning of the 20th Century, the British were the historic enemy of the United States; today they are allegedly our best, and often only, ally. Up through the mid-1960s, Americans were known for their technology-proud, can-do attitude, in which every challenge was welcomed as an opportunity for improving man's condition, and was appropriate to be shared with the rest of mankind; today, we have abandoned the most advanced frontiers of technology, and are threatening wars against other nations who wish to obtain such technologies for their own benefit. Throughout this century, Americans have created life-saving medical technologies that have revolutionized life-expectancy and quality; yet, today most people are concerned about cutting costs for "useless eaters" and ending their lives. Through most of this century, Americans saw war as a last resort, and recoiled from the horrors of mass destruction, especially aggressive war; today, our political leaders are openly discussing punitive bombing raids, including the possible use of nuclear weapons, against nations which pose no threat to the United States.

How did these radical reversals come about?

Unconsciously, that's for sure—at least within the U.S. population.

But the truth is that some agency did conceive of bringing about these fundamental changes in belief. That agency, working through individuals and institutions, has shaped the mass media, educational institutions and content, and the culture of politics which have engineered this reversal.

I can almost hear the far, far right yahoos shrieking now: You're right, it's the communists—the Russians and the Chinese!

What fools! The agency which has shaped this change is actually responsi-ble for creating the hideous forms of communism which dominated China under the Cultural Revolution, and the Soviet Union under Stalin. And a war of "capitalists" versus "communists" only serves their purposes of reducing the condition and numbers of mankind.

The agency of which I speak is the Satanic core of the British financial oligarchy, the heirs of Venice, the Roman Empire, and the Babylonians before them. This grouping of aristocratic families and hangers-on has dominated the planet economically and culturally over the past century, and with increasing power since the early 1960s. It is this oligarchy, of whom Queen Elizabeth's consort, Prince Philip, is the most prominent example, which has propagated and developed the ideologies of geopolitics, Malthu-sianism, eugenics, the sexual revolution, and the nuclear balance of terror, which future historians will say have characterized our century. It is this oligarchy which must be understood as the enemy of all mankind in every nation of this planet—and from which mankind must be freed.

Introducing H.G. Wells

It is a lackey of this oligarchy, however, on whom we will concentrate: one Herbert George Wells (1866-1946). Wells, unlike his evil soul-mate Lord Bertrand Russell, was not part of the British aristocratic set. But this middle-class novelist's representations of the evil of man were so effective, that he came to the attention of the British ruling set during the last decade of the 19th Century. After having written The Time Machine, The Island of Dr. Moreau, and The War of the Worlds in the 1890s, Wells decided to state his theoretical foundations in Anticipations of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress Upon Human Life and Thought, a book published in 1901. This led to him being brought into the Fabian Society, and the group-ing which was directly responsible for British geopolitical maneuvers over the decades to come.

In Anticipations, Wells presents a theory of one-world government, called the "New Republic," which was based on totally anti-republican ideas. We give a taste of that here:

And the ethical system which will dominate the world-state will be shaped primarily to favour the procreation of what is fine and efficient and beautiful in humanity—beautiful and strong bodies, clear and powerful minds, and a growing body of knowledge—and to check the

procreation of base and servile types, of fear-driven and cowardly souls, of all that is mean and ugly and bestial in the souls, bodies, and habits of men, the method that has only one alternative, the method that must in some cases still be called in to the help of man, is death. For a multitude of contemptible and silly creatures, fear-driven and helpless and useless, unhappy or hatefully happy in the midst of squalid dishonour, feeble, ugly, inefficient, born of unrestrained lusts, and increasing and multiplying through sheer incontinence and stupidity, the men of the New Republic will have little pity and less benevolence.

In other words, Wells was a racist eugenicist, whose concept of a world government and mass-murder goes way beyond Hitler in its scope. Else-where in the same book, he was even more explicit in elaborating the above idea:

The men of the New Republic will not be squeamish either in facing or inflicting death. . . .

They will have ideals that will make killing worthwhile. . . . They will hold that a certain portion of the population exists only on suffer-ance out of pity and patience, and on the understanding that they do not propagate; and I do not foresee any reason to suppose that they will hesitate to kill when that sufferance is abused.

It is clear that Wells totally believed what he wrote in his story The Croquette Player of 1937: "Man is still what he was. Invincibly bestial, envious, malicious, greedy. Man, Sir, unmasked and disillusioned, is the same fearing, snarling, fighting beast he was a hundred thousand years ago."

Certainly, that is an honest description of the British oligarchy. But that oligarchy was determined to remake all mankind in that image.

The Open Conspiracy

In 1928, Wells published a prospectus for a political movement called the Open Conspiracy. Here we find programmatic basis for the one-world government which Wells' cothinkers have sought to put into effect ever since. The program had the following six points:

1. The complete assertion, practical as well as theoretical, of the provisional nature of existing governments and of our acquiescence in them;

2. The resolve to minimise by all available means the conflicts of these governments, their militant use of individuals and property and their interferences with the establishment of a world economic system;

3. The determination to replace private local or national ownership of at least credit, transport, and staple production by a responsible world directorate serving the common ends of the race;

4. The practical recognition of the necessity for world biological controls, for example, of population and disease;

5. The support of a minimum standard of individual freedom and welfare in the world;

6. The supreme duty of subordinating the personal life to the creation of a world directorate capable of these tasks and to the general ad-vancement of human knowledge, capacity, and power.

This is precisely the kind of genocidal program for elimination of national sovereignty, culling of the "unfit," and dictatorship that we find being promoted today by the likes of Malthusians Prince Philip and Al Gore. It cuts across the "right" and the "left." That was demonstrated immediately by avowed pacifist Bertrand Russell, who wrote to Wells after he read the Open Conspiracy, saying, "I do not know of anything with which I agree more entirely."

Wells described the actual organization of the Open Conspiracy as follows:

[It] will appear first, I believe, as a conscious organization of intelli-gent and quite possibly in some cases wealthy men, as a movement having distinct social and political aims, confessedly ignoring most of the existing apparatus of political control, or using it only as an inci-dental implement in the attainment of these aims. It will be very loosely organized in its earlier stages, a mere movement of a number of people in a certain direction, who will presently discover with a sort of surprise the common object toward which they are all mov-ing. . . .

A confluent system of Trust-owned business organizations and of Uni-versities and reorganized military and naval services may presently discover an essential unity of purpose, presently begin thinking a literature, and behaving like a State . . . a sort of outspoken Secret Society . . . an informal and open freemasonry. In all sorts of ways they will be influencing and controlling the apparatus of the ostensible governments.

In 1936 Wells further elaborated the means by which this Secret Society could exert control, in a speech before the Royal Institute of International Affairs:

1 want to suggest that something, a new social organization, a new institution—which for a time I shall call World Encyclopaedia. . . . This World Encyclopaedia would be the mental background of every intelligent man in the world. . . . Such an Encyclopaedia would play the role of an undogmatic Bible to World culture. It would do just what our scattered and disoriented intellectual organizations of today fall short of doing. It would hold the world together mentally. . . . It would compel men to come to terms with one another. . . . It is a super university I am thinking of, a World Brain; no less. . . . Ultimately, if our dream is realized, it must exert a very great influence upon every-one who controls administrations, makes wars, directs mass behavior, feeds, moves, starves and kills population.

In other words, national dictators—communist, fascist, or other—have nothing on Wells and his cohorts. Wells is elaborating a global oligarchical scheme of social and mind control, in which the nation-state and intellectual freedom no longer exist. The only kind of freedom and love which Wells (and Russell, and their colleagues) ever promoted, was that of sexual lust-as long as it was combined with birth control, of course.

A New Feudalism

While Wells' vision, as we have elaborated it so far, may appear immoral, so far it has masqueraded as a high-technology, "scientific" civilization. This, too, is fraudulent, as the works of his soul-mate Bertie Russell make clear. Let us quote a number of descriptions by Russell of the society which he and Wells were seeking to build on behalf of the British oligarchy.

In Prospects of Industrial Civilization, a report on his two trips to China in the early 1920s, Russell wrote:

Socialism, especially international socialism, is only possible as a stable system if the population is stationary or nearly so. A slow in-crease might be coped with by improvements in agricultural methods, but a rapid increase must in the end reduce the whole population to penury. . . . The white population of the world will soon cease to increase. The Asiatic races will be longer, and the negroes still longer, before their birth rate falls sufficiently to make their numbers stable without help of war and pestilence. . . . Until that happens, the bene-fits aimed at by socialism can only be partially realized, and the less prolific races will have to defend themselves against the more prolific by methods which are disgusting even if they are necessary.

Indeed, Russell looks forward to the reduction of the world population. He complains in his book Impact of Science on Society that:

At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars. . . . War . . . has hitherto been disappointing in this respect . . . but perhaps bacterio-logical war may prove more effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. . . . The state of affairs might be somewhat unpleasant, but what of it? Really high-minded people are indifferent to happiness, especially other people's.

Russell cites the ideal of his aristocratic friend John Ruskin, under which "the present urban and industrial centers will have become derelict, and their inhabitants, if still alive, will have reverted to the peasant hardships of their medieval ancestors."

The regular reader will be immediately reminded by Russell's sentiments, of the pronouncements of the likes of Prince Philip and his environmental lunatic cohorts in groups such as Earth First! in terms of using bacteriologi-cal means of reducing population. Philip said he wanted to be reincarnated as a "deadly virus" to "help" solve the overpopulation problem; Earth First! praises the AIDS virus for reducing population in Africa, although they complain it is not working fast enough.

Indeed, they won't have long to wait, given the rate at which the life expect-ancies and absolute populations of regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa

are declining. There are major regions there already, which can only be compared to the devastation of the medieval Black Death.

The action starts at Christmastime 1940.

Passworthy: War doesn't stop progress. It stimulates progress. . . . After all, aren't we exaggerating the horrors of war?

Cabal: If we don't end war, war will end us.

Things to Come

By now, the Satanic evil of Wells, and Russell, should be transparent. The reader should also have a rather eerie feeling about how much today's dominant culture reflects the cynical evil of these two oligarchical lackeys.

But there is more, much more. For from the twisted minds of Wells and Russell came literal scenarios for the kind of nuclear confrontation and destruction of civilization which looms before us today, as a result of the Satanic commitment of the British oligarchy and its agents, like the Gore-connected Principals Committee of the United States.

Note that no later than 1913 Wells wrote a book called The World Set Free, which projected the obliteration of modern life through the use of atomic bombs in warfare. After describing the terrifying scenes of devastation,

famine, plague, and other miseries resulting from atomic warfare, Wells concludes:

The catastrophe of the atomic bombs which shook men out of cities and businesses and economic relations shook them also out of their old established habits of thought, and out of the lightly held beliefs and prejudices that came down to them from the past. To borrow a word from the old-fashioned chemists, men were made nascent; they were released from old ties; for good or evil they were ready for new associations.

In effect, a global form of shock treatment.

But Wells also produced a dramatic version of the destruction of civilization through warfare which anticipated the horrors which we are headed for today—if this faction of the British oligarchy is not stopped. Out of a long, unsuccessful book called The Shape of Things to Come, Wells crafted a movie version called Things to Come, which provides a scenario for not only the Second World War—which he was clearly anticipating—but also for the miseries he saw coming for all mankind.

Things to Come was produced in 1936, but it depicts a scene that begins in 1940, in a place called "Everytown." Let's recount the story of this 98-minute film.

The action starts at Christmastime 1940, showing the interaction between two male characters, John Cabal and Piper Passworthy. Cabal is the pes-simist, expecting war; Passworthy is happy-go-lucky, insisting that nothing bad is about to happen. Very soon the war begins, with no apparent purpose, and the bombing of "Everytown" with poison gas that does its work swiftly and surely.

From there, the film depicts the war going on, and on, and on. Tanks, planes, and more poison gassings are shown, with Wagnerian music accom-panying the holocaust. We are shown a brief interlude in Everytown—dominated by building ruins, and devastated by lack of medicine and virtually every other modern amenity— where a new pandemic disease has broken out. It's called "wandering sickness," and there is no cure. Eventu-ally, the population turns to simply shooting and killing those with the dis-ease, in order to prevent it from spreading. The disease is eliminated, after having wiped out more than half the world's population.

A man with 'wandering sickness' Rudolf the Victorious (the 'Boss') staggers out into the street. announces the end of the 'pestilence,' after shooting all Wanderers.

Boss: Why don't you shoot them. . . . It's their lives or ours. . . .

Dr. Harding: That's how they dealt with pestilence in the Dark Ages.

We are now in the early 1970s, back in Everytown. The city of ruins is now ruled by a "Boss," a warlord with a great physical similarity to Benito Mussolini—or is it one of Wells' colleagues in the Coefficients' Club? It doesn't matter. This "boss" is depicted as adamantly committed to "national sovereignty," and getting back an air force that can defeat his enemy, the "hill people." He is trying to force scientists who oppose his regime to get his last remaining airplane to work, despite the shortage of spare parts and fuel.

Suddenly, a modern airplane appears in the sky, bearing a white-haired John Cabal (who had disappeared 30 years before to fight the war overseas), dressed like a Black Knight. Cabal is promptly arrested by the "Boss," despite Cabal's warning that he is simply the harbinger of a force based in Basra (Iraq) called "Wings of the World," which is determined to wipe out backward little fiefdoms like that dominated by the Boss. In the ensuing dialogue, Cabal declares that he represents a "freemasonry" of Science and a superior international force that will no longer permit the anachronism of

He is arrested, and then confronts the 'Boss.'

John Cabal lands his plane in Everytown.

Cabal stands over the body of Rudolf, the Chief (the Boss).

The old engineers and mechanics have pledged ourselves to save the world . . . the Brotherhood of efficiency, the free masonry of Science. We're the last trustees of civilization when everything else has failed. . . .

Boss: This is an independent sovereign state. . . .

Cabal: We don't approve of independent sovereign states. . . .

Cabal: Dead and his world dead with him. A new world beginning.

"national sovereignty." (While there are no German accents, the implication that these are supposed to be the Germans cannot be missed.)

The "Boss" and his way of life are soon wiped out by the appearance of an air-fleet of Cabal's friends, who drop a "gas of peace" to conquer Everytown.

Wells then takes us to the year 2036, and the grandchildren of our protago-nists. Everytown is now a super-modernistic metropolis, looking every bit like today, with outside elevators, everything aseptic and blinding white, where huge buildings and machines overpower the citizens. We find the modern Mr. Cabal as the leader, planning to launch two youth from a space-cannon to the Moon (including his own daughter), and a revolt in process, led by the "artist" Theotocopulos1. Theotocopulos rails against the relentless drive of progress and science, and riles up a mob to attempt to dismantle the space-cannon. He ultimately fails, and the movie ends with Cabal watching the space-ship hurtling out into space, and asserting that man's drive for power through science must continue forever, no matter what it means for individual human life.

Looked at in the light of what Wells himself actually represents, "Things to Come" is chilling indeed.

It is clear that Wells, like Russell, believes there will have to be a new, devastating Thirty Years War in order to reduce the world's population, and create the basis for "pacification" of what they consider "upstart" little nations. And, as Wells said in The Open Conspiracy, it is the "world direc-torate," a literal freemasonry, represented in the film by Cabal, which is destined to control the advanced technologies upon which the progress of mankind will depend. Wells agrees with Cabal: "national sovereignty" is going to be wiped off the map.

But, wait a minute: Just what does Wells mean by "progress?"

It's certainly not what the republican current in the history of science, which proceeds from the standpoint of man having been made in the image of the Creator, means. Just as Wells' "New Republic" represents a dictatorship, so Wells' idea of "progress" means just the assertion of power through techno-logical means.

The Great Air Dictator presiding over the World Council at Basra.

The Space Gun. Theotocopulos, the rebellious artist.

Cabal and Passworthy peer through the telescope at the spaceship they have launched.

Theotocopulos: What is the good of all this Progress? Onward and onward. We demand a halt. . . . We will not have human life sacrificed to experiment. . . .

Make an end to this progress. . .

Passworthy: I feel that what we've done is monstrous.

Cabal: What they've done is magnificent. . . . Is it this or that? All the universe, or nothingness? Which shall it be?

The Message Delivered

Thus, through this film—as in his other writings—Wells is bending the minds of his audience by redefining the way they think. He wants them to associate national sovereignty with petty dictators, rather than with the necessary function of representative government and lifting-up of mankind through the sovereign nation-state. Since the Second World War, in fact, Wells' view has been accepted broadly through the industrialized world, although not by the underdeveloped sector. This is perverse, and evil—as the denial of development to over half of the world's population demon-strates.

Equally evil is Wells' portrayal of science as the inhuman lust for power, and technology as an oppression of the human spirit. Although Wells does not show any such use of technology for hurting people in the film, the image of Theotocopulos mobilizing the masses against the space-shot has the most eerie similarity to the stirring up of the anti-science mobs which have stormed nuclear plants and other targets today. True science, of course, is combined with agapē, the love of mankind, both now and in the future, and has no coherence at all with Wells' bowdlerized presentation.

On to Nuclear War

But, if we want to really understand the mind of the oligarchy which is currently out to destroy any threat to its power, we have to look at more of the Wells-Russell story. Because, as indicated by the fact that Wells was writing in 1913 about the possibility of nuclear war, both Wells and Russell went to even greater extremes in order to brainwash people against a love of science and their fellow-man. They went so far as to float the idea of using limited nuclear war.

Russell was the most brash. He was constantly lying that the pursuit of scientific and technological progress would lead to disaster for mankind. He anticipated inevitable world food shortages, an increasing gap between rich and poor, and then concluded: "Such a situation can hardly fail to lead to world war. . . . War may become so destructive that, at any rate for a time, there is no danger of overpopulation; or the scientific nations may be defeated and anarchy may destroy scientific technique."

From this standpoint, Russell was ecstatic about the dropping of the atomic bombs by the United States on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He hoped that this would force the creation of a world government which would maintain a monopoly over the control of nuclear weapons, because they were so devastating.

In the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists in October 1946, Russell said: "An international government, if it is to be able to preserve peace, must have the only atomic bombs, the only plant for producing them, the only air force, the only battleships, and its infantry regiments must each severally be composed of men of many different nations; there must be no possibility of the devel-opment of national feeling in any unit larger than a company."

The alternative to such an international government—Russell was explicit—was a nuclear monopoly by the United States. This was not because he loved the United States, but because he wanted to destroy the potential for this technology to be used for the benefit of mankind. Russell called in 1946 for the United States to demand that Russia give up its national sovereignty, or face a preventive nuclear war. Yes, Russell, in fact, reiterated numerous times that he thought the U.S. should be prepared to bomb the Russians to smithereens in the immediate postwar period, so that an "arms race" would never develop. And what if the Russians did not capitulate? "Of course you can't threaten unless you're prepared to have your bluff called," Russell told the BBC in 1959.

The U.S., which Russell considered to be not sufficiently imperialist, did not take Russell's advice. And by 1954, both the United States and the Soviet Union had developed the hydrogen bomb. In 1955, Russell established the Association of Parliamentarians for World Government, and then the series of Pugwash Conferences, as a way for scientists to meet and discuss these technological questions.

It was in the context of the Pugwash conferences that the idea of "limited nuclear war" surfaced. This came from Dr. Leo Szilard, the person on whom the movie character Dr. Strangelove was based, and a veritable lunatic, who had been designated personally by Wells as his heir apparent on these matters. Szilard outlined the nuclear scenario at a Pugwash conference in the spring of 1958.

Szilard proceeded from the standpoint that "a limited war need not deterio-rate into an all-out war." Instead, he proposed a set of agreements between

the two nations for city-for-city nuclear exchanges, including each side giving the other four weeks to evacuate the targetted city, before it was struck by nuclear weapons. This was the ultimate "war game," allegedly contained by treaty contracts, but of course, guaranteed to destroy increasing amounts of civilization, as it is carried forth.

This outlook of "limited nuclear war" is precisely that which is being carried forward today in the war scenarios of the heirs of Wells and Russell. Only this time, the oligarchy's forces believe—as in the immediate post-World War II period—that they don't have to negotiate with the other side. Instead, they can simply enforce whatever they want against nations they decide are enemies—like Iraq, North Korea, China, etc.—assuming that the still-nuclear capable Russia will not respond.

Such a scenario is clearly insane.

Technological Apartheid

There is no question but that the British oligarchy hopes to control the United States, in order to enforce a Wells-like world order. These forces want to have a monopoly over advanced technologies in the way that Wells' Open Conspiracy manifesto expressed it: giving them power over who lives and who dies.

It's not surprising that the oligarchy would have this idea. It goes way back in the history of empires, and characterized the rule of the British Empire against the American colonies as well, when the Parliament passed laws explicitly outlawing the export of manufactures, manufacturing technolo-gies, and even skilled workmen to the American colonies. The idea is to prevent dependent peoples from increasing in education and numbers, both of which processes are seen as a direct threat to the continued rule by the oligarchy.

If you as an American have now turned against the spread of technology for the benefit of mankind, you have turned directly against your nation's core beliefs, as well as morality.

With the Wells-Russell cultural assault, this ideology was gradually inculcated into the population itself. First, the idea was for people to fear advanced technology, on the basis of their belief that it would be used in a bestial fashion. This then was followed by the determination to prevent other peoples from having access to advanced technology, with the

justification that any technology could be used as a weapon against someone else.

What this ideology has done is to justify cutoffs of life-saving high technolo-gies to developing sector nations, even when it is obvious that they will die without it.

In 1990, in an interview with Sir Jimmy Goldsmith's French newspaper L'Express, a top-level French government official, operating under the pseudonym "Jean Villars" gave this policy a modern name: "technological apartheid." On Sept. 7, 1990—in the buildup to the Gulf War against Iraq—this official declared that while the policy may be "brutal," it should apply not only to military goods, but to all high-technology goods. In effect, the underdeveloped sector of the world would be blockaded from getting the technologies they need.

Such a policy is right in line with the racism of Wells and Russell, who were determined to prevent too much "proliferation" of the non-white races—something that was more likely to happen if they could have the technology for clean water, decent hospital care, locally produced pharmaceuticals, and reliable energy supplies. It also happens to be the documented policy of the Bush administration, which adopted an Enhanced Proliferation Control list, and of Vice President Al Gore—whose hatred of technology and population puts him right in sync with the Wells and Russell policy.

The Best-Laid Plans . . .

The hideous scenarios put forward by the Wells-Russell crowd have, through the medium of culture itself, been etched into the brains of millions of Americans. The terror of nuclear technology, the fear of "overpopulation," the demand for control of technologies, the countercultural insistence on personal pleasure—all these ideologies deeply infect our leading institutions, and many of our citizens.

It is to be hoped that many who have absorbed these evil ideas will step back in shock, and abandon them, once they realize how they've been brain-washed by these evil propagandists for the oligarchy.

But there is another point to be kept in mind, at this juncture, one that should scare any sane person into rethinking his or her assumptions. The fact is that a New World Order, or one world government dictatorship, as envisioned by Wells cannot and will not exist. If the whole economic and financial system

of the British oligarchy is not replaced with an alternate system, along the lines of the principles of the New Bretton Woods put forward by Lyndon LaRouche, the world is headed toward chaos.

The oligarchy has declared war on the majority of the human race; how is it supposed to maintain control? In truth, it cannot, and to a large extent, the oligarchy today has abandoned the effort to do so.

Take the example of the IMF and the United Nations. Clearly the UN, which is full of Russellite programs for population control, low-technology regimes, and other supranational functions—just as Wells outlined—was targetted to be the instrument of the oligarchy in maintaining their control. But there was a problem with that plan: A number of the largest nations in the world were unwilling to go along with the plan! For years and years, it looked as though Third World nations would go along with cutting their own throats, but as of the fall of 1998, this changed. Russia and China, veto-wielding members of the UN Security Council, began to resist the program.

There was little question about what the financial oligarchy would do under such circumstances, and they are doing it. They are simply out to destroy any possible alternative to their rule. And they are using their power in the United States-through brainwashed Republicans and the Gore-led Principals Committee—to carry out the wars and provocations that will lead to that destruction.

How ironic, that those bulletheads who scream the loudest about a United Nations "one-world government," are now perfectly content to carry out the Russellite program if it's the U.S. that functions as the "one world govern-ment." But, an evil idea is an evil idea, no matter who implements it.

Where we are headed is demonstrated by Africa, the most devastated victim of the British imperial oligarchy, from the period of Wells and Russell, to the present day. Technology has been withheld, credit has been withheld, looters have been sent in, and thus countries are collapsing into chaos and war. In fact, the future will look more like the endless warfare of Wells' 30-years war, than the antiseptic metropolis of the scientific elite.

If the heirs of Wells—in Britain, the Commonwealth, and the United States—are not stopped, the world's future will be that of Africa. These maniacs do have the power to bomb and destroy, as long as the population permits them to do so. And destruction is what they aspire to achieve.

We have a process of nearly 100 years of brainwashing to overturn in the United States and Western Europe—a process that has given us a generation of inept Baby Boomer leaders obsessed with pursuit of immediate pleasure, and a disintegrating economic base. We have gone from a situation where a Wells provides our popular entertainment, to one in which an Al Gore and his Principals Committee, who determine the Clinton administration's military and foreign policy, are effectively implementing Wellsian policies in the U.S. capital. This is the situation that must be stopped—and only the American population, mobilized politically, can stop it. It is an aroused American citizenry that must determine the shape of things to come.
