Iraq As The Arab Yugoslavia
Interviewed on the Imus In The Morning radio show, earlier today, Frank Rich of the New York Times described Iraq as being "a manufactured country."
What he did not say was that Iraq, like Yugoslavia, was manufactured during the time of the League of Nations, and that it was constructed and brought to life by Great Britain ( which also set up the Emirate of Kuwait ). The second largest city in Iraq is Basra, which sits at the very southernmost part of that country with a million + Shi'ite Arabs squeezed in between revolutionary Iran, and reactionary Kuwait. Basra is also famous in literature, in the writings of H.G. Wells: and therein hangs a tale --
How War Came To New York
"The City of New York was in the year of the German attack the largest, richest, in many respects the most splendid, and in some, the wickedest city the world had ever seen. She was the supreme type of the City of the Scientific Commercial Age;" wrote H.G. Wells in 1908, "she displayed its greatness, its power, its ruthless anarchic enterprise, and its social disorganization most strikingly and completely."
First published in 1908 and re-issued in 1921 and 1941, Wells' novel The War In The Air describes New York "as the modern Babylon ... the centre of the world's finance, the world's trade and the world's pleasure; and men likened her to the apocalyptic cities of the ancient prophets."
Considered by many critics to be one of Wells' inferior fictions, The War In The Air is remarkably prophetic in one regard: in the chapter entitled "How War Came To New York," he describes what happens when a fleet of German Zeppelins crosses the Atlantic to make a surprise attack on New York City. The basic theme is that the local defense installations there are designed to protect New York from an attack by sea, and that a German version of "shock and awe" induces the Mayor and his Council to surrender the city after the Navy Yard and the Post Office are destroyed by aerial bombardments. The first stage of the Zeppelin attack is sharp but limited, and most of the casualties are civilian postal workers.
"The immediate effect upon New York of the sudden onset of war was merely to intensify her normal vehemence." The principal effect of the rapid capitulation of the City, writes Wells in this fiction, is to trigger a city-wide rebellion which the municipal police are unable to contain, and scattered counter-attacks against the German airships.
Sustaining heavy casualties in this effort, the Prince who leads the German air armada then orders indiscriminate bombing of the Broadway strip from central to lower Manhattan. The result is an inferno which kills thousands of immigrants and native New Yorkers, both. Finally, airplanes dispatched by the federal authorities arive, and engage the Zeppellin fleet in near-suicidal close combat. Both sides are badly bloodied.
This theme of a surprise attack by air is a key dramatic element in the 1936 film written by H.G. Wells, and directed by William Cameron Menzies, "Things To Come." Two additional themes introduced in The War In The Air are elaborated in "Things To Come." The first theme is that war in the air, with the superior capabilities of pilots and airmen and aeronautical technologies, is essential to success in combat. The second theme is that these advancing technologies will create a war so devastating, that civilization will collapse in panic, to be followed by famine and then plague.
In Wells' 1908 novel, the killer plague is called The Purple Death. In the 1936 movie it is called "the Wandering Sickness."
The Shape Of Things To Come
In Wells' fictional "history of the future," the Wandering Sickness is known as 'maculating fever' and it appears in 1956 after an outbreak of cholera, which in itself comes at the end of a long series of wars. Wells predicted that the "next" war would be triggered by an incident between a Nazi officer and a Jewish businessman in Polish Danzig ( and curiously he made Poland seem to be foolishly aggressive ). Sixteen years of war and social collapse follow, with all of modern Europe reduced to penury. Then comes the cholera and the plague: those who get the Wandering Sickness cannot lie abed, and they do not seem to recuperate, so they roam, they wander, and half of the human race dies -- those who survive are either naturally immune or are never exposed. In the movie, the pathetic victims are simply shot dead and their bodies burned. In Wells' book, this "maculating fever" appears mysteriously and rages for a year and one half, only to disappear completely and just as mysteriously.
The Shape of Things To Come: The Ultimate Revolution, is the complete title of the book which inspired that movie; it was published by Hutchinson & Company, London, in 1933. H.G. Wells presents this fiction as if it was the inspiration of a friend, Dr. Philip Raven, a diplomat at the League of Nations. Raven transcribes his prophetic dreams over a period of many months and begins to write them up in a manuscript, but when he dies suddenly ( in 1930 ), all of his notes and typed pages are delivered to Wells. He then takes two years to study and assemble this "history of the future," which begins with an analysis of how The Great War was shaped and orchestrated by hidden hands. Raven's analysis ( so like Wells ) adheres strictly to the concepts of Fabian socialism.
Dr. David M. Hart, formerly of the University of Adelaide, writes that Wells was "noted for the accuracy of many of his predictions about technology ( tanks, air warfare, atomic bombs ) and his interest in the social consequences of the new kind of warfare made possible by these weapons.
"His conclusion was that out of the ashes of the old world destroyed by war would rise phoenix-like a new world order based upon a just, technocratically ruled world state." This is an essential theme, well-elaborated in The Shape Of Things To Come, as evinced by the words of the prophetic dreamer Raven ( i.e., Wells ) --
"The cement of confidence in the social fabric from 1918 onward was more and more plainly decaying and changing to dust." But Wells is not simply repeating the plaintive warnings that he encapsulated in fiction, in The War In The Air, he is continuing the stronger language used in his Preface to the 1921 edition of that novel: "with the flying machine war alters in its character ... neither side, victor or loser, remains immune from the gravest injuries". Nor does this new kind of war settle things, leading instead to greater levels of indecision.
"Wells welcomed [the] outbreak of World War I because he believed Utopian restructuring of the world was only possible after catastrophes brought about by war. Increasingly disillusioned after 1918" adds Professor Hart, "Wells, [by] 1945 in Mind at the End of its Tether, was forced to conclude that [mankind was] unable or unwilling to adapt to demands made by technology."
Test-firing The Engines Of The New World Order
Writing in 1932, Wells sets the first "World Conference" convened after the disappearance of the plague, at Basra in 1965: those who attend the Conference are the pilots, the aircraft builders, ship captains and navigators who have survived both the war and "the Wandering Sickness." As his fictional Doctor Raven puts it, these are the leaders of the Transport Union, while in the 1936 movie they are called "Wings Over The World." The system they set up for a nearly-ruined civilization recreates aviation with many new advances, and establishes itself -- using Basic English -- at Basra. In Wells' book, they are unabashedly socialist ( not communist ), but more than they they are technocrats, skilled with tools.
Thirteen years later comes the Second World Conference at Basra, in 1978:
"Raven's dream book, as it unfolded the history of the last great revolution in human affairs to him, shattered all the evasive optimism, all the kindly disastrous toleration and good fellowship of our time in his mind.
"If there was to be peace on earth and any further welfare for mankind, if there was to be an end to wars, plunderings, poverty and bitter universal frustration, not only the collective organization of the race but the moral making of the individual had to begin anew." In this history of the future, as revealed to Wells' fictional Dr. Raven, one year elapses before the new Air Dictatorship of the World Council acts against the Roman Catholic Church.
Prompted by a rebellion of a Prince of Bavaria, the faithful Catholics and other Christians of Europe begin demanding the end of the Air Dictatorship and the return of certain basics of the past, including "freedom of religion" and the private ownership of airplanes.
Privately owned airfields, never completely quashed, spring up again and there is widespread dissension and outright rebellion. But, as Wells' fictional history unfolds, the new Air Dictatorship possesses both lethal weapons and a new gas weapon called "Pacificin", which delivers a twenty-four hour knock-out to those who inhale it: and they use all their weapons against this rebellion, and the Catholic Church is dissolved. So, too, with less than another year elapsed, the Air Dictatorship moves into Arabia and shuts down the holy sites of Islam and all the Mosques. Then the Hindu faithful are subdued in an equally rapid fashion. Finally, Dr. Raven makes this statement, paraphrasing the Dictatorship at Basra -- "there can be only one right way of looking at the world for a normal human", and thus the reader of The Shape Of Things To Come learns that there is to be only one religion in the new world of the Air Dictatorship.
Priests, Sorcerers, Religious Teachers Need Not Apply
The precise nature of the new world religion of the Air Dictatorship is not clearly drawn: but, it is easy enough to see that it will be a kind of Pythagorean rationalism, as Wells draws the imagery of the future for his readers. The new cosmopolitan schools will exclude -- "medicine men, sorcerers, priests, religious teachers and organizers of sedition".
In other parts of The Shape Of Things To Come, Wells' Raven makes it explicitly clear that "patriotism" is to be shunned as if it were a kind of psychological leprosy. Gone are nations, national identities, ethnic exclusivities, and all concepts of sovereignty ... with monarchical or republican. This is Wells' version of the New World Order ( and it appears that he may have actually coined the phrase, at least in English, although it only seems to occur in his writings without capital letters ).
Writing in 1798, John Robison -- author of Proofs of a Conspiracy, detailing the origin of The Order Of The Illuminati, in Germany -- said that Adam Weishaupt was most explicit about the true role of Illuminism. He said that for the Illuminati, Patriotism is opposed to "cosmo-politanism".
The Ba'ath Party Of Iraq Was An Illuminati Experiment
Summarizing the close analysis of The Shape Of Things To Come, and the 1936 film written by Wells, "Things To Come," and aligning the magnificent presentation by Professor John Robison from 1798, it quickly becomes clear that H.G. Wells was an active Illuminatus. It is certainly the case that he used the key words and phrases which indicate one stream of the Illuminati as it moved out of western Germany and into England:
Herbert George Wells was the most caustic and sensible critic of the British aristocracy, and basically an opponent of all kings and all princes, during his long career;
Wells welcomed the onset of The Great War, on the supposition that it would -- by its violence and destructiveness -- bring an end to all the European monarchies, and to nationalism;
Wells was a fervent advocate of the League of Nations, as it evolved at Geneva, and it was in the 1920s that these manufactured "nations" of Yugoslavia and Iraq were created;
Wells was writing The Shape Of Things To Come in 1932, when the monarchy of King Faisal of Iraq was created, and the British mandate concluded;
Wells purposefully sets patriotism down as being evil, or at least destructive, and uses "cosmopolitanism" in the same sense as it was used by Robison in 1798;
Wells' main character in "Things To Come" is named John Cabal, and the same actor plays his grandson Oswald Cabal: how much more clear could that indicator be ?
Wells' 1936 film version of his book introduces the men of Wings Over The World as being Air Soldiers, and they wear uniforms of solid black with streamlined hoods, and their most effective weapons are gas weapons: this evokes both the S.S. of Adolph Hitler and the Fedayeen Saddam of Ba'athist Iraq, who are equally virulent in their hatred of the Jews of Israel;
Wells' themes in that extraordinary history of the future are almost all introduced in The War In The Air, written in 1907 and first published in Pall Mall, and then as a book in 1908; and for those who believe in coincidence, that was the year that the Bureau of Investigation was founded in the United States ( FBI ).
Wells' First Basra Conference of 1965, notes Dr. Hart, is the one "which creates Air and Sea Control -- a world-wide police and communications network, a new economic system with no private property, monopoly of commerce by Air Sea Control."
Wells places the pivotal meeting of the World Council as happening in Basra in 1978, with all world-around religions being suppressed one year later by the Act Of Uniformity: and in reality Saddam Hussein took control of Iraq as its President and dictator in 1979, swiftly moving to suppress the Shi'ite Muslim traditions and fundamentalism at that time --
Wells' dream-book narrative explicitly states that the last great rebellion against the World Council begins with the Prince of Bavaria, which is where the Illuminati took root and which is where they were closely examined and suppressed.
And it is in the 2000-2036 time frame that Dr. Raven's dream-book tells of the rise of the New Puritans, who are not Puritans at all but simply tyrannical, dictatorial, puritannical.
*************
"In the epilogue to his novel," says Dr. Hart of The Shape of Things to Come: The Ultimate Revolution "H.G. Wells wrote:"
If this is neither a dream book nor a sybylline history, then it is a theory of world revolution. Plainly the thesis is that history must now continue to be a string of accidents with an increasingly disastrous trend until a comprehensive faith in the modernized World-State, socialistic, cosmopolitan and creative, takes hold of the human imagination.
When the existing governments and ruling theories of life, the decaying religious and the decaying political terms of to-day, have sufficiently lost prestige through failure and catastrophe, then and then only will world-wide reconstructuion be possible. And it must needs be the work, first of all, of an aggressive order of religiously devoted men and women who will try out and establish and impose a new pattern of living upon our race.
Substitute the word "Iraq" for World-State, and that would serve as an adequate definition of the ambitions of the Ba'athist Party under Saddam Hussein. They sought to make everybody the same, and the ended up making everybody miserable.
Torture, secret proceedings ending in executions, the random beatings, bribery and the fawnings of a thousand-thousand "yes men," that is the legacy of the Arab Yugoslavia -- under the National Socialist autocrat named Saddam Hussein al-Tikriti.
Does anyone, anywhere, now doubt that this Tyranny is the same-same thing, envisioned with such hopefulness by H.G. Wells, and yet, transparently, possessed of the same patterns evinced for all people to wear, under Acts of Uniformity, in the New World Order of the Illuminati ?
