Rick Cook is a fantastic resource of historical truth, and everybody ought to read his book. I agree with everything he says here, except that I believe that WWI never really ended, and the interlude between WWI and WWII was dominated by clandestine preparations for the final defeat of Germany and Japan and their incorporation into the Anglo-American Empire. The “Roaring 20’s stock market boom, the Smoot-Hawley Tariff, and the infamous Versailles Treaty all reflected a cohesive scheme of financial warfare against Germany and Japan designed to force them into WWII. The 1925 real estate crash followed by the 1929 stock market crash was caused by a deliberate currency contraction coordinated by Montagu Norman of the British central bank and Benjamin Strong of the New York Federal Reserve. The resulting deflationary depression caused severe American unemployment that rendered working men happy to become soldiers where they could at least earn a meager living. It simultaneously trapped Germany in a financial debacle because the worldwide depression made it impossible to sell German goods to obtain currency needed to purchase food to feed its population, and set the stage for Hitler to implement social programs and military preparations for the impending war. All the while America and Britain were quietly preparing their industries to mass produce gigantic gun barrels, advanced tanks and warplanes, and so forth. The British went so far as to bomb German cities at night and murder German citizens in Poland and Czechoslovakia to goad Hitler into war, and both Britain and America provided money, pre-fabricated factories, cargo ships, and vast supplies of military equipment to enable Stalin to form gigantic, fully equipped armies that were poised on the Russian borders, waiting until Germany and France had exhausted themselves so that he could launch his armies to sweep throughout Europe and impose a draconian form of communism with him in charge. However Hitler’s spies detected these preparations in the nick of time, and he was able to organize a surprise attack that devastated the Russian armies and supplies. Books are now available that reveal all these details.
Thanks for the kind words, and I’m glad that you enjoyed this tidbit. The importance of this is that past is prologue; understanding history confers better understanding of what is happening in the present. I believe that America is now in a state of crisis and great danger. The Civil War was financed and fomented by British banksters, which returned America to colonial status as part of the British Empire. More recently the American government was hijacked via a coup d’ etat led by the criminal Bush family, which had British antecedents and connections. They murdered the Kennedy brothers, who were American patriots with Irish antecedents. One wonders if these events have roots in distant English history. Regardless, I just pray that President Trump somehow avoids being murdered and manages to pursue his program of reforms. But no matter how well he succeeds, the American experiment seems unlikely to stand the test of time any better than similar endeavors in the past.

The truth so very well said Lewis! Great research, unfortunately so very few people know the truth.
