Modern history began with the re-conquest of the USA by the British Oligarchy in 1901 with the assassination of President William McKinley and installation of the Anglophile Teddy Roosevelt in the White House. Then in 1902 Cecil Rhodes died which activated his Last Wills, and led to the foundation of the Anglo-American Pilgrims Society (1902), followed by the foundation of the Round Table movement (1909), which evolved into the British Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House) (1920) and its U.S. subsidiary, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) (1921). In 1913, the British Oligarchy achieved its greatest victory in its pursuit of the subordination of the USA under British Commonwealth control when Anglophile President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act, which subordinated the US monetary system under the Bank of England.
Then they should ponder whether FDR was another victim of British assassination after learning about how FDR was truly an existential threat to Churchill and the continuing existence of the British Empire following WWII.

The Racist Agenda Behind the Rhodes Trust
It is vital to remind ourselves that these networks were driven by the design outlined by genocidal diamond magnate Cecil Rhodes, who wrote the purpose for the Scholarship that was to receive his name in his First Will (1877)[153]:
“Why should we not form a secret society with but one object – the furtherance of the British Empire and the bringing of the whole uncivilised world under British rule for the recovery of the United States for the making the Anglo-Saxon race but one Empire…”
Later in that will, Rhodes elaborated in greater detail upon the intention which was soon to become official British foreign policy.
“The extension of British rule throughout the world, the perfecting of a system of emigration from the United Kingdom and of colonization by British subjects of all lands wherein the means of livelihood are attainable by energy, labor and enterprise, and especially the occupation by British settlers of the entire continent of Africa, the Holy land, the valley of Euphrates, the islands of Cyprus and Candia, the whole of South America, the Islands of the Pacific not heretofore possessed by Great Britain, the whole of the Malay archipelago, the seaboard of China and Japan, the ultimate recovery of the United States of America as an integral part of the British empire. The consolidation of the whole empire, the inauguration of a system of colonial representation in the Imperial parliament which may tend to weld together the disjointed members of the empire”
On page 75 of their 1990 publication entitled The First Global Revolution (https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/sociopol_firstglobalrevolution.htm), the organization outlined how they would manufacture ecological scares in order to manipulate the public into accepting the imposition of a dictatorial world government run by them.
“In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill…
All these dangers are caused by human intervention… The real enemy, then, is humanity itself,”
states the report, which can be read in full at the end of this article.
The passage appears under a subheadline entitled, “The common enemy of humanity is Man.”
IF YOU TRULY UNDERSTAND HISTORY, THEN YOU WON’T BE SHOCKED IF IT TURNS OUT THAT THE CIA IS COORDINATING THE GLOBAL INVASION OF THE US SOUTHERN BORDER.
The FBI/MI5 and CIA/MI6 and NSA/GCHQ were not created to protect the citizens of the US and subjects of the UK, but to protect the wealth, interests, and NWO One World Technocracy of the British Globalist Fascist Oligarchy.
The US Constitution, and its Bill of Rights, is the single greatest impediment to the British Globalist Fascist Oligarchy achieving its centuries long quest for a One World Global Empire.
The idea for the UN actually began with FDR. His goal for the UN was to abolish imperialism and colonialism, and to use the IMF and World Bank to assist former colonies to make investments in domestic infrastructure and develop domestic industries. Then he died unexpectedly at the age of 63, Churchill got his clutches into Truman, and the British Globalist Fascist Oligarchy have ruled the world ever since. Well, not quite the entire world. They’re still trying their damnedest to conquer Russia.
Roosevelt's intended purpose for the U.N. was clear, as he discussed it with (his son) Elliott:
``The Big Four--ourselves, Britain, China, and the Soviet Union--we'll be responsible for the peace of the world after.... When we've won the war.... It is already hightime for us to be thinking of the future, building for it. France, for example. France will have to take its rightful place in that organization. These great powers will have to assume the task of bringing education, raising the standards of living, improving health conditions--of all the backward, depressed colonial areas of the world.''
Roosevelt had wanted to schedule a trip to England and talk directly to the British people,
``on the need for Britain to put its hopes of the future in the United Nations ... and not just the British Empire and the British ability to get other countries to combine in some sort of bloc against the Soviet Union,''
reports Louis, in his bookThe Transfer of Power in Africa.
With Truman as President, instead of Roosevelt, the British had little to fear. At the San Francisco meeting, previous American determination to rid the world of colonialism and its imperialist economics, ``shifted gradually from one of dismantling the British Empire to one of giving it tacit support.'' Under Truman, ``the fire of anti-colonialism burned much less brightly within the United States government,'' Louis observed.
As a result of the pro-British policies of Truman, the United States effectively turned its back on the world. The promise of Roosevelt's grand strategy to rid the world of ``18th century methods'' was never kept, and civilization has suffered greatly. The abhorrent conditions of life in Africa today, the backwardness that exists in Asia, India, and elsewhere, the suffering of billions of people on this planet, are all the direct result of the change from Roosevelt's anti-colonial policy to Truman's acquiescence to the British Empire.
The United States under Truman turned its back on Roosevelt's former allies. This view was confirmed by Elliott Roosevelt after the death of his father. He laments the broken promises that had been made by Roosevelt to the Chinese and Russians. After the war he said, ``The first warships to enter Chinese ports were British warships.... Faced with a broken American promise, Chiang in turn broke his.''
Concerning Indochina he said:
``How often Father maintained that this colony, liberated in main part by American arms and American troops, should never be simply handed back to the French, to be milked by their imperialists as had been the case for decades. Yet when the British Colonial troops marched in, they took with them French troops and French administrators.''
I just discovered your Substack, William, and want to thank you for this post. So many Americans have no idea about our real history or the events that set us on the path today to the serious problems we have been and will continue to face. Keep up the great work!

Excerpt from “Treason In America” by Anton Chaitkin:
Pages: 367 - 369
Who Was Theodore Roosevelt?
The fundamental economic and world-strategic outlook of the United States leadership underwent a catastrophic change between 1901 and 1909. To understand the change, and to realize the profound loss America has suffered because of it, one must know certain things about the background, the philosophy, and the character of the man who was the nation's President during those years, and why he was very, very different from the Presidents who had preceded him. During his first term in the White House, TR pleaded with the British government to make his friend and closest advisor, English career diplomat Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, their ambassador to this country. Sir Cecil (1859-1918) was TR's British "handler," and we shall first look at Roosevelt through his eyes. In 1886 Teddy Roosevelt, still demoralized from the simultaneous deaths of his first wife and his mother two years before, lost badly in his election race for the New York City mayoralty. He took ship for Britain, the land of his closest family ties, to try to renew his life. On board he met Spring-Rice . . . who had been assigned to "spontaneously" make his acquaintance. When they got to England, Spring-Rice introduced the young American reformer to the top ranks of the British nobility and government, including Prime Minister Lord Salisbury, scion of the Cecil family. Spring-Rice was then best man at Teddy's second marriage, in London. On Teddy Roosevelt's return to America, Cecil Spring-Rice was assigned to a post in the British embassy in Washington, where he could make good on their friendship. From the moment of their first meeting to the end of their lives, Spring-Rice provided Roosevelt with the emotional support TR always craved, with flattery and with sophisticated geopolitical advice. At one point during Roosevelt's presidency, Sir Cecil Spring-Rice gave to his fellow British diplomat, Valentine Chirol, a letter of introduction to TR, in which Spring-Rice told the President: "I should like him to know the man who occupied the first position in the world and is the best suited for it." But Chirol afterward complained that he had not been able to fix Roosevelt's wandering attention in any continuous discussion. What the British "handler" thought of the American comes through clearly in Spring-Rice's reply: "If you took an impetuous small boy on to a beach strewn with a great many exciting pebbles, you would not expect him to remain interested for long in one pebble. You must always remember that the President is about six.” The England to which the unhappy young Teddy Roosevelt fled in 1886 was the permanent refuge of a very important member of Teddy's intimate family circle, whom he would visit in London. Georgia-born James Dunwody Bulloch, brother of Teddy's mother, had been forced into exile at the end of the American Civil War as among the worst traitors to his country, ineligible for inclusion in Abraham Lincoln's broad amnesty for Southern partisans. Bulloch had been the chief of the international secret service for the Confederate insurrection. Based in England and operating in Britain and France, James Bulloch organized the purchase, equipping and manning of a navy for the war against the United States. With mostly British sailors, Bulloch's "Southern" warships destroyed American vessels, killed American sailors and largely succeeded in sweeping U.S. commercial shipping from the Atlantic Ocean during the war. He also personally supervised the running of munitions and other supplies of war past the U. S. naval blockade for use by Confederate troops. In postwar reparations talks and legal suits, it was the official position of the American government that the British and certain continental bankers, acting through Mr. Bulloch, had prolonged the Civil War to perhaps double the length it would otherwise have been without this intervention—drawing out the tragedy to make it the worst war in America's history, before or since. Bulloch's role as a top "spook" against American republicanism had been a personal and family tradition from before the war…..
