The Origins of the Deep State in North America Part I:

The Round Table Movement

“Two systems are before the world; the one looks to increasing the proportion of persons and
of capital engaged in trade and transportation, and therefore to diminishing the proportion
engaged in producing commodities with which to trade, with necessarily diminished return to the
labour of all; while the other looks to increasing the proportion engaged in the work of production,
and diminishing that engaged in trade and transportation, with increased return to all, giving to
the labourer good wages, and to the owner of capital good profits… One looks to under working
the Hindoo, and sinking the rest of the world to his level; the other to raising the standard of man
throughout the world to our level. One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and
barbarism; the other in increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and
civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English
system; the other we may be proud to call the American system, for it is the only one ever devised
the tendency of which was that of elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the
world.”

-Henry C. Carey, Harmony of Interests, 1856

Part 1: The International Spread of the American System & the Round Table Movement
Canada’s struggle for existence as a sovereign nation has been caught between two opposing views
of mankind represented by the British and American System of social organization. As the great
economist Henry C. Carey laid out while he was advancing the policy of Abraham Lincoln, the
American System was designed to become a global system operating amongst sovereign nations for
the progress and mutual benefit of each and all. By the end of the 19th century, American System
thinking was resonating with statesmen and patriots in all corners of the globe who were fed up with
the ancient imperial system of British Free Trade that had always strived to maintain a world divided
and monopolized.

Although British propagandists had made every attempt to keep the illusion of the sacredness of the
British System alive in the minds of its subjects, the undeniable increase of quality of life, and
creative thought expressed by the American System everywhere it was applied become too strong
to ignore… especially within colonies such as Canada that had long suffered a fragmented, and
underdeveloped identity as the price paid for loyalty to the British Empire.

In Germany, the American System-inspired Zollverein (custom’s union) had not only unified a
divided nation, but elevated it to a level of productive power and sovereignty which had outpaced
the monopoly power of the British East India Company. In Japan, American engineers helped
assemble trains funded by a national banking system, and protective tariff during the Meiji
Restoration.

In Russia, American System follower Sergei Witte, Transport Minister and close advisor to Czar
Alexander II, revolutionized the Russian economy with the American made trains that rolled across
the Trans-Siberian Railway. Not even the Ottoman Empire remained untouched by the inspiration
for progress, as the Berlin to Baghdad Railway was begun with the intention of unleashing a bold
program of modernization of southwest Asia

The American System Touches the Canadian Mind


In Canada, admirers of Lincoln and Henry C. Carey found their spokesman in the great American
System statesman Isaac Buchanan (1). Buchanan rose to the highest position of (elected) political
office in the Dominion of Canada when in April 1864, the new MacDonald-Taché Ministry appointed
him the President of the Executive Council. This put him in firm opposition to the Imperial agenda of
George Brown, and the later Prime Minister John A. Macdonald, of whom he and all patriotic co-
thinkers counted as bitter enemies to Canada’s independence and progress. The policy which
Buchanan advocated as he rose to higher prominence was outlined in his December 1863 speech:

“The adoption by England for herself of this transcendental principle [Free Trade] has all but lost the
Colonies, and her madly attempting to make it the principle of the British Empire would entirely
alienate the Colonies. Though pretending to unusual intelligence, the Manchester Schools are, as a
class, as void of knowledge of the world as of patriotic principle… As a necessary consequence of the
legislation of England, Canada will require England to assent to the establishment of two things: 1st,
an American Zollverein [aka: Customs Union]. 2nd: Canada to be made neutral territory in time of any
war between England and the United States”

While the customs union-modelled on the Zollverein program of American System economist
Friedrich List in Germany laid out by Buchanan, was temporarily defeated during the operation
known as the Articles of Confederation in 1867, the potential for its re-emergence would return in
1896 with the election of Wilfrid Laurier, Canada’s next Prime Minister. By 1911, the custom’s union
policy advanced by Laurier, who was a devout admirer of Abraham Lincoln finally came to fruition.
Laurier long recognized that Canada’s interests did not reside in the anti-American program of
MacDonald which simply tied Canada into greater dependence towards the mother country, but
rather with the interests of its southern neighbour. His Reciprocity program proposed to lower
protective tariffs with the USA primarily on agriculture, but with the intention to electrify and
industrialize Canada, a nation which Laurier saw as supporting 60 million people within two decades.
With the collaboration of his close advisors, Adam Shortt, Oscar Skelton and later William Lyon
Mackenzie King, Laurier navigated the mine field of his British enemies active throughout the
Canadian landscape in the form of the Masonic “Orange Order” of Ontario, and later, the insidious
Round Table movement.

While Laurier’s attempts to actualize a true Reciprocity Treaty of 1911 that involved free trade
among North American economies united under a protective tariff against British dumping of cheap
goods, it would not last, as every resource available to the British run Orange Order and Round Table
were activated to ensure the Reciprocity’s final defeat and the downfall of Laurier’s Liberal
government and its replacement by the Conservative government of Sir Robert Borden in its
stead.(3) Laurier described the situation in Canada after this event:

“Canada is now governed by a junta sitting at London, known as “The Round Table”, with
ramifications in Toronto, in Winnipeg, in Victoria, with Tories and Grits receiving their ideas from
London and insidiously forcing them on their respective parties.” (4)

Two years before Laurier uttered this warning, the founder of the Round Table movement, Lord
Milner wrote to one of his co-conspirators laying out the strategic danger faced by Buchanan and
Laurier’s program with America:

“As between the three possibilities of the future: 1. Closer Imperial Union, 2. Union with the U.S. and
3. Independence, I believe definitely that No. 2 is the real danger. I do not think the Canadians
themselves are aware of it… they are wonderfully immature in political reflection on the big issues,
and hardly realise how powerful the influences are…” (5)

Without understanding either the existential struggle between the two opposing systems related
above, or the creation of the Round Table movement by a new breed of British Imperialist as a
response to Lincoln’s international victory in the face of the total bankruptcy of the British Empire at
the turn of the last century, then no Canadian could honestly ever make sense of what has shaped
his or her cultural and political landscape. It is the purpose of this present report to shed a clear light
upon some of the principal actors on this stage of universal history with the hope that the reader’s
powers of insight may be strengthened such that those necessary powers of judgement required to
lead both Canada and the world out of our current plunge into a new dark age may yet occur.

The Round Table Movement: New Racist Breed, Same Racist Species

The Round Table movement served as the intellectual center of the international operations to
regain control of the British Empire and took on several incarnations over the 20th century. The
historian Carrol Quigley, of Georgetown University wrote of this cabal in his posthumously
published “Anglo-American Establishment” (6):

“This organization has been able to conceal its existence quite successfully, and many of its most
influential members, satisfied to possess the reality rather than the appearance of power, are
unknown even to close students of British history. This is the more surprising when we learn that
one of the chief methods by which this Group works has been through propaganda.

It plotted the Jameson Raid of 1895; it caused the Boer War of 1899-1902; it set up and controls the
Rhodes Trust; it created the Union of South Africa in 1906-1910; it established the South African
periodical The State in 1908; it founded the British Empire periodical The Round Table in 1910, and
this remains the mouthpiece of the Group; it has been the most powerful single influence in All
Souls, Balliol, and New Colleges at Oxford for more than a generation; it has controlled The Times for
more than fifty years, with the exception of the three years 1919-1922, it publicized the idea of and
the name “British Commonwealth of Nations” in the period 1908-1918, it was the chief influence in
Lloyd George’s war administration in 1917-1919 and dominated the British delegation to the Peace
Conference of 1919; it had a great deal to do with the formation and management of the League of
Nations and of the system of mandates; it founded the Royal Institute of International Affairs in 1919
and still controls it; it was one of the chief influences on British policy toward Ireland, Palestine, and
India in the period 1917-1945; it was a very important influence on the policy of appeasement of
Germany during the years 1920-1940; and it controlled and still controls, to a very considerable
extent, the sources and the writing of the history of British Imperial and foreign policy since the Boer
War.” (7)

To understand the pedigree of the Round Table movement as it was “officially” unveiled in 1910 as
the ideological shaper of the policies and paradigm of the new “managerial class” of international
imperialists dedicated to the salvation of the British Empire under an “Imperial Federation”, it would
be necessary to go back a few decades prior, to 1873-74. It was in this year that a young Canadian
named George Parkin lectured at Oxford on the subject imperial union as the sacred duty of all
Anglo Saxons to advance. Parkin is popularly heralded by Oxford historians as “the man who shifted
the mind of England”.

1873-1902 Empire on the Verge of Collapse: Re-organize or Perish


During this same period, a grouping of Imperial intellectuals known as the “X Club” (f. 1865)
centering on Thomas Huxley, Matthew Arnold, Herbert Spencer and Joseph Hooker were assigned
the responsibility to overhaul the British Empire’s controlling ideological structures that had proven
themselves worn out. Each would specialize on various branches of the sciences and would all
promote gradualist interpretations of change to counteract explanations which required creative
leaps. This program was applied with the intention of: 1) saving the collapsing empire and 2)
establishing the foundation of a new scientific religion based upon Charles Darwin’s highly
materialistic model of Natural Selection as the explanation for the evolution and differentiation of
new species. As X Club co-founder Herbert Spencer went on to elaborate the system of “social
darwinism” as the logical outgrowth of Darwin’s system into human affairs, the intention behind the
propagation of the Darwinian program was never “the enlightenment liberalism in battle against the
ignorant dogmas of religion”, as it is so often recounted by popular historians of science. Rather, the
“revolution in science” initiated by the X Club was merely the re-packaging of an idea as old as
Babylon: The control of the masses by a system of oligarchical rule, simply under a new type
of “scientific dictatorship”. But how, when the demonstration of creative reason’s power to elevate
humanity’s conditions of life by encouraging new discoveries and applied technologies, as promoted
by the American System of Political Economy, would the world now accept the conditions of mental
and political enslavement demanded by the imperialist in a fixed system struggle for diminishing
returns?

This was the challenge upon which young Oxford men would set their creative energies using the
“scientific” reasoning established by Thomas Huxley’s X Club and for the service of the ruling
oligarchical families of Europe. George Parkin like all young Oxford men at this time, was highly
influenced by this network’s ideas, and used them to justify the “natural scientific inevitability” of
the hegemony of the strong over the weak. In this case, the Anglo Saxon master race dominating the
inferior peoples of the earth. This message could be seen in his 1892 work Imperial Federation:
“Nations take long to grow, but there are periods when, as in the long delayed flowering of certain
plants, or in the crystallization of chemical solutions, new forms are taken with extreme rapidity.
There are the strongest reasons for believing that the British nation has such a period immediately
before it. The necessity for the creation of a body of sound public opinion upon the relations to each
other of the various parts of the Empire is therefore urgent.” (8)

In elaborating upon the danger of the British System’s collapse in light of nationalist movements
following the American System model, Parkin went on to ask: “Has our capacity for political
organization reached its utmost limit? For the British people this is the question of questions. In the
whole range of possible political variations in the future there is no issue of such far reaching
significance, not merely for our own people but for the world at large, as the question whether the
British Empire shall remain a political unit… or yielding to disintegrating forces, shall allow the
stream of the national life to be parted into many separate channels.” (9)

One of Parkin’s Oxford contemporaries was Alfred Milner, a character who plays a vicious role in our
drama as the catalyzer behind the formation of the Round Table Movement. Milner credited Parkin
with giving his life direction from that point on (10). It was during 1876 that another contemporary
of Milner and Parkin, named Cecil Rhodes left Oxford in order to make a fortune on a cotton
plantation in South Africa. All three characters were also highly influenced by John Ruskin, the leader
of the “artistic” branch of British Intelligence led by the “Pre-Raphaelite Society”.

The proceeds of Rhodes’ cotton fortune were multiplied many times by ventures into the diamond
industry of South Africa, allowing him to rise to gargantuan heights of political power and wealth,
peaking with his appointment as Prime Minister of Cape Town and Founder of Rhodesia. The current
London-centered mineral cartels Rio Tinto, De Beers, and Lonrho now pillaging Africa, as well as the
legacy of Apartheid which has stained so much of South Africa’s history are among two aspects of
the scarring legacy Rhodes has passed down to present times.

Between 1876 and his becoming High Commissioner to South Africa in 1897, Milner’s path slightly
diverged from Rhodes. Milner was recruited by the editor of the Pall Mall Gazette William T. Stead
and became associate editor soon thereafter. The Gazette’s function was set out in the Pall Mall
Gospel, a short mission statement which Stead demanded all of his employees abide to: “The
Federation of the British Empire is the condition of its survival… as an Empire we must federate or
perish.” The gospel also propagandized for the “inevitable destiny” that the USA and Britain
“coalesce” (11). The role which the Pall Mall played in coordinating a cohesive vision of empire was
the model followed by Milner and his minions later as they ran the Round Table periodicals. Stead
was officially recruited to the grand design in 1889 which was instigated by Rhodes and his sponsor
Lord Rothschild. It was when Stead had been recently released for prison due to his Gazette’s
promotion of “organized vice” only to find his paper in serious financial trouble, when he was first
called upon by Cecil Rhodes, a long time follower of his journal in South Africa. After their first
meeting, Stead ecstatically wrote to his wife:
“Mr. Rhodes is my man! I have just had three hours talk with him. He is full of a far more gorgeous
idea in connection with the paper than even I have had. I cannot tell you his scheme because it is too
secret. But it involves millions. He had no idea that it would cost £250,000 to start a paper. But he
offered me down as a free gift £20,000 to buy a share in the P.M. Gazette as a beginning… His ideas
are federation, expansion, and consolidation of the Empire…. He took to me. Told me some things he
has told no other man—save Lord Rothschild— and pressed me to take the £20,000, not to have any
return, to give no receipt, to simply take it and use it to give me a freer hand on the P.M.G. It seems
all like a fairy dream….”

Quigley demonstrates that both Milner and Stead had become active members of the agenda laid
out by Cecil Rhodes. But what was this agenda? In a series of seven wills written between 1879 and
1901,” Rhodes, the unapologetic racist, laid out his designs for the re-conquering of the world and
indoctrinating young elites into his design:

“Let us form the same kind of society, a Church for the extension of the British Empire. A society
which should have its members in every part of the British Empire working with one object and one
idea we should have its members placed at our universities and our schools and should watch the
English youth passing through their hands just one perhaps in every thousand would have the mind
and feelings for such an object, he should be tried in every way, he should be tested whether he is
endurant, possessed of eloquence, disregardful of the petty details of life, and if found to be such,
then elected and bound by oath to serve for the rest of his life in his Country. He should then be
supported if without means by the Society and sent to that part of the Empire where it was felt he
was needed.’
In another will, Rhodes described in more detail his intention: To and for the establishment,
promotion and development of a Secret Society, the true aim and object whereof shall be for the
extension of British rule throughout the world. The colonization by British subjects of all lands where
the means of livelihood are attainable by energy, labour, and enterprise and especially the
occupation by British settlers of the entire Continent of Africa, the Holy Land, the Valley of the
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, these aboard of
China and Japan, [and] the ultimate recovery of the United States of America as an integral part of
the British Empire.” (13)
It was under this specific design to create an indoctrination system of talented young disciples that
Rhodes’ dream of stealing the world and reconquering America that the Rhodes Trust was
established upon his death in 1902. Some historians have maintained that since Rhodes doesn’t
literally bring up his call for a secret society in his last two wills, he must have “matured” and left
those notions behind him. Yet Professor Quigley points out, that the belief pushed by such
“authoritative” historians is a farce, evidenced by George Parkin’s revealing observation taken from
his book The Rhodes Scholarship, published in 1912: “It is essential to remember that this final will is
consistent with those which had preceded it, that it was no late atonement for errors, as some have
supposed, but was the realization of life-long dreams persistently pursued.” (14)

Upon Rhodes’ death, George Parkin became the first head of the Rhodes Scholarship Trust in 1902
leaving his post as Principal of Upper Canada College (1895-1902) to fulfill his duty. It was under this
post that Parkin recruited fellow Upper Canada College professor Edward Peacock, who joined him
as a Rhodes trustee and promoter of what became the Canadian branches of the Round Table
movement. While organizing for the ouster of Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier and the defeat of the
1911 Reciprocity Treaty, this group recruited young talented disciples from their college connections
along the way. The model of the Round Table involved a central coordinating body in London, with
branches strategically placed throughout the Commonwealth in order to provide one vision and
voice to the young and talented “upper managerial class” of the reformed British Empire. Parkin and
Peacock were joined by Lord Alfred Milner, Sir Arthur Glazebrook, W.T. Stead, Arthur Balfour and
Lord Nathan Rothschild as co-trustees.

Working in tandem with the eugenicists of the Fabian Society of Sidney and Beatrice Webb, Balfour
had founded the first International Eugenics Conference in 1912 alongside enthusiastic recruits such
as young Roundtable member Winston Churchill. Charles Darwin’s cousin and founder of eugenics,
Sir Francis Galton died mere weeks before being able to keynote the conference. The Fabian Society
and its sister organization “The Co-efficients Club” featured such other prominent eugenicists as
Bertrand Russell, Halford Mackinder, H.G. Wells and George Bernard Shaw, and later Harold Laski
and John Maynard Keynes [see accompanying article on the Eugenics bent of the Fabian Society].
Membership rosters of either organization frequently overlapped (15)

Much of the dirty work conducted by the original Roundtable movement was run primarily by the
group of young Oxford men who got their start managing imperial affairs under Milner during the
Boer War suppression of the Transvaal (South African) uprising of 1899 to 1902. Of this
Kindergarden, Philip Kerr and Lionel Curtis were tasked with coordinating the Canadian branches
from London (with Parkin and Peacock leading from Canada). While Oxford had long been the
indoctrination center of young elites for centuries prior, now with the Rhodes Scholarship program
in place, a new level of standardization had been initiated. The new program provided scholarships
to young talent primarily throughout the Anglo Saxon family of nations which Rhodes yearned to see
re-absorbed under one Aryan umbrella. The Fabian Society had founded the London School of
Economics (LSE) for similar purposes. Both the LSE and Oxford have worked hand in hand at crafting
agents of imperial change throughout the entire 20th century (16).

Each student, upon selection, would be provided a scholarship to Oxford University, a generous
stipend, and red carpet treatment into the upper echelons of the ruling oligarchical social networks,
if the student so willed. Each student was returned to their home country enflamed with a burning
desire to fulfill the objectives of the British Empire and advance “the scientific management of
society”. Their talents were expressed either in elected office, working in the civil service, media,
law, the private sector or in academia. In most cases, these scholars acted upon the Fabian method
of ‘permeation theory’… slowly permeating all levels of society’s controlling structures in order to
shape perception and shift the invisible structures controlling mass behaviour away from a current
of progress and love of truth and towards a materialistic struggle for survival. Each year, one
scholarship was granted to each of the Canadian provinces (with the exception of P.E.I) and 32 were
granted to the United States. To the present date, approximately 7000 scholarships have been
awarded with increasing openness to the non-Aryan countries to service the imperial agenda.

The Milnerite Vincent Massey and the Rebirth of Canadian Oligarchism

While the Canadian experiment has long been trapped by its loyalist (anti-republican) tendencies
fueled by such oligarchical systems as the Family Compact (17), Canada has never had a self-
contained ruling class as witnessed in the case of Britain. To this present day, the London centered
oligarchy loyal to Babylonian traditions, is expressed by the imperial crown as the “fount of all
honours” from which all legal and actual authority across the Commonwealth emanates. This has
been the model upon which different generations of the Canadian oligarchy have been shaped.
Similarly, the American oligarchy has tended to follow a similar model of organization with families
recruited by the Crown’s agents such as the Rockefellers, Morgans, Harrimans and Duponts who
have merely shaped their values and customs of behaviour around the system led by the British
Crown, and represent nothing at all intrinsically “American”. All attempts to evaluate history from
the bias of “an international bankers conspiracy” or even “American imperialism” without this higher
understanding of the British Empire is thus doomed to failure.

One of the central figures in the Rhodes network in forming the character and structure of the
Canadian oligarchy, as well as the general mass culture of Canada is a man named Vincent Massey.
Massey is the son-in-law of George Parkin, who, following the Darwinian edict of “breeding with the
best” married his four daughters to leading Round Table and Oxford men. Massey, born into the
wealthy Hart-Massey family dynasty became an early recruit to the Round Table, working alongside
Canadian Round Table co-founder Arthur Glazebrook in setting up a branch in Ontario in 1911.
Glazebrook admired Parkin so much that he even named his son George Parkin de Twenebroker
Glazebrook, himself a Rhodes Scholar of Balliol who went on to help run this group alongside Massey
by the late 1930s and would head the Canadian secret service during World War II. Arthur
Glazebrook wrote a shining letter of recommendation to Milner upon Massey’s departure for studies
at Oxford’s Balliol College on Aug. 11, 1911:

“I have given a letter of introduction to you to a young man called Vincent Massey. He is about 23 or
24 years of age, very well off, and full of enthusiasm for the most invaluable assistance in the
Roundtable and in connection with the junior groups… He is going home to Balliol, for a two year
course in history, having already taken his degree at the Toronto University. At the end of his two
years he expects to return to Canada and take up some kind of serious work, either as a professor at
the university or at some other non-money making pursuit. I have become really very attached to him
and I hope you will give him an occasional talk. I think it so important to get hold of these first rate
young Canadians, and I know what a power you have over young men. I should like to feel that he
could become definitely by knowledge a Milnerite” (18)

Upon his return to Canada, Massey quickly rose in the ranks of the Roundtable, becoming Crown
Privy Councillor in 1925, then leading a delegation in 1926 at the Imperial Conference at which point
his fellow Roundtabler Lord Balfour passed the Balfour Declaration as a means of appeasing the
nationalist sentiment hot in many colonies striving for independence from the mother country.
Massey then became Canada’s first Minister (aka: ambassador) to the United States (1926-1930),
where he coordinated policy with controlling institutions around the intelligence institutions
centered around the Council on Foreign Relations. During his time in Washington, Massey’s official
biographer (and University of Toronto President from 1958-1971) Claude Bissel points out that he
was a frequent guest in “The House of Truth”, a stronghold of Round Table ideas in the United States
housing such luminaries as Walter Lipmann, Felix Frankfurter, Loring Christie, Eustace Percy, and
featuring such frequent guests as Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, and McGeorge
Bundy. Most of these characters were hardcore eugenicists affiliated with the Council on Foreign
Relations (the American branch of the Royal Institute for International Affairs) advancing the
program of a British-led “Anglo-American Empire”. Oxford men Loring Christie, and Hume Wrong
were both recruited to Massey’s staff during this period and played important roles in the postwar
takeover of Canadian foreign policy. Hume’s father George Wrong was also an influential executive
member of the Canadian Round Table and Massey ally.

Massey’s Washington deployment was followed by a stint as President of the Liberal Federation of
Canada (1932-1935), and then Canadian High Commissioner to London (1935-1946). It was soon
after this experience that Massey was assigned to unleash the second of a series of Royal
Commissions (1949-1951) dedicated to destroy any lingering sentiments of the American System
within the hearts, minds, political-artistic-scientific structures or economic behaviour of Canada, and
reconstruct the Canadian identity based on his own twisted image. This operation had the dual
effect of relieving responsibility from the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations financial
responsibility for crafting the Canadian identity (19). As a token for a job well done, Massey then
became the first Canadian-born Governor General (1952-1959). During his career, Massey served as
Governor for Upper Canada College, and the University of Toronto, as well as founder of a university
modeled on All Souls, Oxford called Massey College (f.1962). Like All Souls, Massey College serves as
a central coordinating node for various operations run through the major universities in Canada.

Through his various political positions, Massey pulled every string possible to recruit as many agents
of the Roundtable Movement and Rhodes Trust networks into prominent positions within the
Canadian civil service, cultural control, and academia. During this same period in the United States,
Rhodes scholars had swarmed into various influential positions of authority, with a special focus on
the State Department, in order to prepare to commandeer Roosevelt’s New Deal program and
convert it into a Keynesian nightmare at the first available opportunity. These operations resulted in
a third attempt by the British Empire to achieve an agenda that had largely failed in its first two
attempts between 1902 and 1933 (20). It is proper to briefly go through the first two before
continuing with our report.

The First Attempt Fails: Imperial Union 1911-1923

The First incarnation of the World Government agenda to supersede the principle of sovereignty as
the basis for world affairs had been the Imperial Union thesis around which the Roundtable had first
been created. This involved the creation of a Federation of nations united under one empire, in
which representatives of various colonies could hold representatives within an Imperial Parliament,
much like the European Union structure chaining nations under the Troika today. The obvious
mission under this structure was the participation of the United States ruled by the “economic
royalists” of whom Roosevelt said should have left the nation back in 1776. Under Parliamentary
structures, little more than an illusion of democracy exists while its bureaucratic nature permits for
optimal control by a ruling oligarchy.

By the end of World War I, forces within the Round Table were dreading the failure of this program,
and had resolved to dedicate themselves instead to the League of Nations doctrine in its stead
whereby essentially the same outcome could be achieved, but through different means. Under this
changing of gears, it was arranged that the Round Table be phased out in place of something new.
Two aging controllers of Milner’s Kindergarten writing to each other in 1931 laid this problem
squarely on the table and even proposed a solution:

“As a brotherhood we have lost interest in the Empire and are no longer competent to deal with it. I
think, therefore, that if The Round Table is to go on, it should quite definitely change its character,
remove its subtitle, and become, what it is much more fitted to become at the present time, a
publication connected with the Royal Institute of International Affairs… all the heart and soul of The
Round Table movement is petering out and I really don’t know that we stand for anything in
particular nowadays.” (21)

It was with this failure of its original blueprint in mind that the Roundtable Movement began a
conversion into its new costume with the creation of the Royal Institute for International Affairs
(RIIA) in 1919, followed immediately thereafter with branches in the United States under the
heading of the Council on Foreign Relations and International Pacific Institute. Carrol Quigley
demonstrates that the CFR and IPI featured crossovers of members from the RIIA, CIIA, while
funding was provided through the Rockefeller Foundation, Carnegie Foundation and RIIA. While
possessing nominally American names, these organizations and their members were fully British.

The Failure of the Second Attempt: The Round Table Transformed 1923-1930

Both the RIIA, CFR and IPI were financed through large grants by the Rockefeller and Carnegie
foundations which themselves were set up merely as financial instruments to further the British
Imperial agenda at the same time the Round Table Movement was unveiled in 1910. These were two
of the core foundations which had been used to finance eugenics laws and the statistics-based
“scientific” premises justifying their political implementation. Quigley documents in his works the
extensive array of financial support which these “philanthropic” organizations bestowed upon their
London controllers.

Due to the regaining of power of the Liberal Party, now under the leadership of Mackenzie King, the
Canadian infiltration was not happening at the pace which some RIIA operatives would have liked. In
fact, due to the influence of key Laurier Liberals such as Oscar Skelton and King’s Justice Minister
Ernest Lapointe in the famous Imperial Conference of 1923, the last attempt to impose the Round
Table thesis for Imperial Union was defeated in that form. By 1925, Roundtable controller Philip Kerr
(aka: Lord Lothian) wrote of the anti-British situation in Canada guided by Lapointe and Skelton in
the following terms:

“I am afraid that things in Canada are not at present as satisfactory as they are in the United States…
I even found in places a certain feeling that it was a mistake for returned scholars to avow
themselves as Rhodes scholars and that the best would be that they should merge themselves in the
population and forget their unhappy past!” (22)

In 1925, O.D. Skelton, Laurier’s friend and biographer, as well as long time friend and trusted
collaborator of Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, was made Undersecretary of External
Affairs. It was also at this time that resistance to Rhodes Scholar penetration into guiding positions
of national policy was obstinately begun.
Canadian cooperation with British foreign policy largely came undone beginning with the Canadian
rejection of Britain’s demands that Canada commit its forces to Britain’s near-war with Turkey
during the Chanak Crisis of 1922. In subsequent Imperial Conferences throughout the 1920s, the
Laurier Liberals led by Skelton and Lapointe went on to flank and reject various attempts at binding
foreign policy between Imperial Federation or the League of Nations. Collaboration with leaders of
the Free Irish State against Imperial policy was key in the success of the Canadian patriots’ fending
off the Round Table.

Mackenzie King’s Failed Personality

Massey’s biographers have commonly referenced his own frustration with Skelton whom he saw as
a barrier between himself and the Prime Minister, a man who he could generally manipulate as long
as no one with geostrategic insight was near him (23). King’s increasing lack of cooperation with
British Foreign policy resulted in the following quote by Massey brother-in-law, and Round Table
member William Grant in 1925:

“It is very difficult to make a permanent impression on him [King] for two reasons. 1) He is as selfish a
man as I have ever known, the selfishness disguised by a thick smear of sentimentalism. He will,
therefore, sacrifice anyone or anything to his ambition, and then sob about it. 2) He has a mind as
lacking in edge as a jellyfish. Fortunately for you he has a real fund of dignified, though rather windy
eloquence, and will do little harm if given plenty of speeches to make” (24)

The Grant quote is instructive as it provides the reader an insight into the singular character flaw of
King which would taint him his entire life. That is, the pitiful fact of his “other-directedness”, such
that his tendency to frustrate evil influences who wished to use him for their own nefarious ends
was frequently balanced by the frustration of good influences who tried to influence him the other
way. For good or for ill, King was never his own man but was, in the end, a mother-dominated mystic
who could never sever his ideological affiliations with the Monarchy. He may have been a man of
deep personal conviction in a higher cause… but like the poor Venetian Prince in Schiller’s “The
Ghost Seer”, his convictions were never his own. After the death of Skelton in 1940, King’s neurotic
insecurity would express itself in his relief to be liberated by Skelton’s domineering influence: “I have
frequently been thrown off following my own judgement and wisdom in these matters by pressure
from Skelton and the staff that I made up my mind I would not henceforth yield to anything of the
kind” (25). In another diary entry a year later, King wrote: “One of the effects of Skelton’s passing will
be to make me express my own views much more strongly”. (26)

King’s pro-monarchist inclinations permanently schismed his modus operandi from those influences
who he otherwise respected, evidenced in the following diary recordings of Skelton and King during
two Imperial Conferences: “I defend ultimate independence, which he [King] opposes”, while after
another conference, King later wrote: “[Skelton] is at heart against the British Empire, which I am
not. I believe in the larger whole, with complete independence of the parts united by cooperation in
all common ends”. (27)
Chatham House Comes to Canada

The Canadian branch of the RIIA (aka:’ Chatham House’) was created only in 1928, (at the same time
as its Australian counterpart) largely as a response to the anti-Round Table tendencies of the Laurier
Liberals upon King. The CIIA’s first President was none other than former Canadian Prime Minister
and Masonic Orangeman Sir Robert Borden. Its second president was Newton Rowell, who later
became president of the Canadian Bar Association, and chaired the failed Rowell-Sirois Royal
Commission of 1935-1937 (28). Sir Joseph Flavelle and Vincent Massey were Vice Presidents and
George Parkin de T. Glazebrook was honorary secretary. Other founding members were financier
and later Conservative Party Cabinet official J.M. Macdonnell, Carnegie Foundation Trustee N.A.M.
Mackenzie, UCC President William Grant, Rhodes Scholar George Raleigh Parkin, financier Edgar
Tarr, journalist J.W. Dafoe, and Henry Angus. Raleigh Parkin, Grant and Macdonnell also had the
distinction of being brothers-in-law with Vincent Massey, and sons-in-law of George Parkin. In 1933,
through a donation from the Massey Foundation (which served as a mini clone of the Rockefeller
Foundation), the CIIA hired its first Permanent Secretary named Escott Reid. Reid was a Rhodes
scholar fanatically governed by a commitment to world government through the League of Nations,
expressed by his following remarks:

“It would be easier and more self respecting for Canada to give up to an international body on which
it was represented, the decision on which it should go to war than to transfer the right to make that
decision from the government in Ottawa to the government in Washington.. It would thus appear
probable that effective military cooperation between Canada and the United States is possible only
within the framework of an effective world order of which both Canada and the United States are
loyal members.” (29)

The five years after the CIIA was established, an affiliate organization was founded called the
Canadian Institute for Public Affairs (CIPA) by similar networks associated with the CIIA, in order to
shape national internal policy while the CIIA focused upon Canada’s foreign policy. Original featured
speakers were the CIIA’s Norman Mackenzie, and the eugenicist leader of the newly created CCF
Party J.S. Woodsworth. It would be another 20 years before both organizations began to jointly host
conferences together. Today, CIPA exists in the form of the Couchiching Conferences and their
regular brainwashing seminars have been broadcast across the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
(CBC) for over 70 years.

The CIPA was affiliated with the YMCA, itself a major British-run indoctrination asset as it focused
spreading its ideology on conferences, and workshops the world over. It was through this network
that a young Maurice Strong was recruited and rose to the highest echelons of the management of
the oligarchy’s affairs in later years.
1932-1935: America’s New Deal Crushes the League of Nations

Before FDR came to power in 1932, the United States was brought to its knees after four years of
Great Depression itself induced by the blowout of a housing bubble built up artificially by British-
Wall Street agents such as U.S. Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon. It was during this time of fear and
want that the American population was at its most gullible, largely accepting the propaganda that
immigration and bad genes were the cause of the rampant criminality in these painful years. The
vast majority of the sterilization laws passed and fascist sympathy cultivated occurred during this
time of fear.

As Franklin Roosevelt rallied the population behind the battle cry “there is nothing to fear but fear
itself, and kicked the money lenders out of the temple through the implementation of Glass-Steagall
and the activation of public credit issued through the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. The RIIA
running their networks in Canada and especially in the United States had to re-adjust their programs.
The renewed faith in the powers of sovereign government in effecting progressive change by the
activation of the American System principles were evaporating the belief that world government
was the only option for peace to be ensured. However, change for an empire is not always easy, and
after decades of investing energy into their reconquest of the United States, the British made a
violent attempt to crush FDR.

A startling revelation swept through the press in 1933 with General Smedley Butler’s public unveiling
of the Wall Street-backed attempt to run a coup d’état against Roosevelt using 500 000 legionnaires
(30). General Butler’s unveiling of the plan to install himself as puppet dictator was recounted in
Butler’s famous book “War is a Racket” (31). This attempted coup had occurred mere months after
the thwarted Masonic-run assassination plot to kill FDR which resulted in the killing of Mayor
Cermak of Chicago.

As Pierre Beaudry reported in his study on the Synarchy: “It was not a mere coincidence that, at the
same time the British promoted the Nazis in Europe, in 1934, the synarchist Lazard Freres and J.P.
Morgan financial interests in the United States were staging a similar fascist dictatorial coup against
Franklin D. Roosevelt, using the same disgruntled Veterans of Foreign Wars groupings with
operatives from the French Croix de Feu deployed to the United States. They ultimately failed to
capture the leadership of General Smedley Butler, who ended the U.S. plot by publicly denouncing the
conspiracy as the fascist coup that it was.” (32)

After having failed miserably in applying aggressive fascism in America, as was being done in Europe
as the “solution” to the economic woes of the depression orchestrated by agents of the British
Empire on Wall Street, the Rhodes networks decided that the only chance to defeat FDR was
through the old Fabian method of infiltration and co-option. Every attempt was made to infiltrate
New Deal institutions at all costs such that their full co-opting could occur relatively seamlessly upon
the first opportunity of Roosevelt’s fall from power. For this, leading Fabian Society eugenicist John
Maynard Keynes’ theories were used to first mimic the outward form of Roosevelt’s program
without any of the substance.

1932: The Rhodes Trust Hive in Canada Shifts Gears


Just as Roosevelt was coming to power in America in 1932, the Rhodes Trust networks of Canada
centering on Escott Reid, Frank Underhill, Eugene Forsey, F.R. Scott, and David Lewis founded a self-
described “Fabian modeled think tank” customized for Canada known as the League for Social
Reconstruction (LSR). Reid, Forsey, Scott and Lewis were all Rhodes Scholars while Underhill was an
Oxford trained Fabian who was tutored by Harold Laski and G.B. Shaw at Balliol College. The avowed
intention of the group was to institute a system of “scientific management of society” under Fabian
precepts and expressed itself in the group’s selecting of J.S. Woodsworth, another Oxford-trained
Fabian, to head the new Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) as an outgrowth of the LSR.
The CCF called for the complete destruction of capitalism in its Regina Manifesto of 1933.
Woodsworth, an avowed eugenicist, vigorously endorsed the passage of Alberta’s 1927 sterilization
laws to eliminate the unfit (32). Following the gospel of his Fabian mentors H.G. Wells and G.B.
Shaw, Woodsworth even advocated the abolishment of personal property. At its heart the CCF was
not your typical “socialism”, but merely fascism with a “scientific” socialist face.

Knowing that a fearful mob tends to fall into extremes, the CIIA’s creation of a new polarized left and
right did not produce the result as it should have. Under the logic of empire, the abysmal failure of
the “right” wing conservative party of Prime Minister R.B. Bennett (1930-1935), should have created
the conditions for a radical left turn by the time the CCF had been formed. Unemployment was over
25%, money tightening policies were choking what little production still existed and Bennett’s
typically anti-American Tory stance was blocking any potential for increasing trade with the United
States.

But something wasn’t working for the Empire’s agenda. While the political seeds for a “scientific
socialist” world government were being planted on pace in Canada, the cultural fear and despair
necessary for such programs to take root willingly by the choice of the masses were no longer in
place. Indeed, the Canadian population was so inspired by the weekly Roosevelt Fireside Chats
broadcast across the border, scattered with newspaper reports of inspiring
New Deal projects, that hope for a better future and a national solution to the chaos of the Great
Depression was close enough at hand such that no great polarization could occur. As such, the blind
acceptance of a Woodsworth-CCF scientific dictatorship run by agents of Rhodes’s nightmare was
avoided.

FDR’s power in the minds of the Canadian population forced even the radical anti-American blue-
Tory Government of R.B. Bennett to eventually adapt to the language of the New Deal by trying to
copy the U.S. program in a last ditch effort to save the 1935 election. This Delphic program was
known as Bennett’s “New Deal for Canada” platform. The platform was a failure, as the program laid
out by Bennett had two grave errors:

1) Promoting a vast array of social welfare proposals (ie: minimum wage, health insurance,
unemployment insurance, expanded pension plan, minimum hours for the work week) but lacking
any large scale nation building measures which defined the American success and gave meaning to
the welfare measures, the Bennett knock-off simply copied the form without any of the substance of
the true New Deal. The closest approximation to infrastructure programs involved slave labour
driven “work camps” paying 25 cents per day which used and abused young desperate men so that
piecemeal roads and patchwork building could occur devoid of any national mission (33).

2) The national credit system employed by Roosevelt through his understanding of American System
thinkers as Alexander Hamilton and Abraham Lincoln was entirely absent from the mind of Bennett
and his civil servants. While the creation of the Bank of Canada modeled on the privatized system of
England’s Central Bank, was established in 1935 after an extensive Royal Commission run by Lord
Macmillan (begun in 1933), its constitutional and structural mandate was designed to merely
centralize control for the management of already existent wealth under the control of
monetarist/accounting principles… not the creation of new wealth. This institution was designed as
inherently monetarist/Keynesian, NOT Rooseveltian. Without a proper American styled credit
system in place which tied credit to the increase of the productive powers of labour, then any large
investments, even the superficial ones proposed by Bennett’s New Deal were doomed to failure.
After the Conservative Party’s 1935 decimation at the hands of the Liberals, Bennett soon retired
permanently to Britain, accepting a title of nobility as Viscount.

With a revival of the American System under Roosevelt, we can see why the Canadian culture was
not induced to fall into the spider web set by London. However we have yet to explain how the
CIIA/Rhodes Trust networks were prevented from fully taking over control of Canada’s foreign policy
during the remainder of the 1930s.

The Laurier Liberals Rise again 1935-1940

On October 1935, the Liberals still under the leadership of Mackenzie King returned to power in
Canadian politics attempting to gain a foothold amidst the two British controlled extremes of the
left-wing CCF and right-wing Conservatives. At this point, Vincent Massey left his three year post as
President of the Liberal Party to occupy his new position as the High Commissioner to Britain
bringing into his staff such Oxford protégés as Lester B. Pearson as his personal secretary, as well as
Rhodes Scholars George Ignatieff and Escott Reid. While most modern historians (often affiliated
with the CIIA such as John English and Jack Granatstein (34) ) have held that the influx of Oxford men
into the Department of External Affairs (DEA) was catalyzed by O.D. Skelton, the evidence
demonstrates that none other than Vincent Massey himself and the CIIA networks were the true
leaders in this process against the better intention of O.D. Skelton. The popular thesis cooked up by
Granastein and his ilk, has merely been a mythology maintained in order to hide Canada’s true
nation building heritage from present generations, as the following evidence will demonstrate.

While the CIIA had built up a large array of high level intellectuals which had successfully installed
themselves at controlling nodes of all major universities across Canada, unlike its counterparts in the
United States or Britain, the CIIA had been unsuccessful at permeating the Department of External
Affairs (DEA). This was caused in large measure by the return of Oscar Skelton as Undersecretary of
the DEA working alongside the Minister of External Affairs Mackenzie King. King was the only Prime
Minister to occupy both posts simultaneously in Canadian history. Historian Adam Chapnick
describes the suspicions of King and Skelton to CIIA infiltration in the following terms:

“He shared his prime minister’s suspicions of Britain’s political leadership and had never forgotten
that following the British blindly into battle in 1914 had nearly destroyed his country… Skelton
became the leader of “the isolationist intelligentsia” in the East Block”(35). This distrust was
demonstrated in the words of the Prime Minister, who spoke to the Canadian population after the
Imperial Conference of 1937 saying: “Those who looked to the conference to devise and formulate a
joint imperial policy on foreign affairs defense or trade will find nothing to fulfill their
expectations” (36).

As chaos began to spread and the echos of war could be heard, cracks began to appear in Skelton’s
policy of keeping the CIIA nest from taking over Canadian foreign policy. In a diary entry of May 20,
1938, Skelton wrote the following ominous words:

“The British are doing their best to have the Czechs sacrifice themselves on the alter of European
peace… apparently the French are softening in resistance. The Prime Minister said in council there
seemed almost unanimous recognition of (the) impossibility of our staying out if Britain goes in: my
14 years effort here wasted” (37).

Chapnick describes the irony of the RIIA’s success in coordinating post war planning through the
British Foreign Office as early as 1939, yet was unable to make any headway for similar planning in
their Canadian branch:

“While Mackenzie King was bracing his country for the possibility of war, the RIIA’s world-order
preparatory group held its first meeting at Chatham House on 17 July 1939. The discussion
emphasized the importance of maintaining the rule of law in international relations. Unlike the CIIA,
which struggled to be heard in Ottawa through much of 1941, the RIIA had already established close
links to the government in London. Its impact was evident in October 1939 when Lord Lothian [aka:
Philip Kerr], the British ambassador in Washington, alluded publicly to a future global federation. His
comments foresaw an international order in which regional organizations would police the world
under the umbrella of a unifying executive body.“ (38)

Historian Denis Stairs relates Philip Kerr`s frustration with Skelton`s influence on Mackenzie King
when he wrote that “Kerr once pointedly observed to Vincent Massey that it “would be better if
Skelton did not regard co-operation with anyone as a confession of inferiority”. Massey reported
later in his memoirs that he agreed with the assessment.“ (39) Massey, an enemy of Skelton since
the 1923 Imperial Conference referred to Skelton in his diaries as “Herr Doktor Skelton”.

Upon the mysterious deaths of O.D. Skelton and Ernest Lapointe in 1941 (40), the gates holding back
the CIIA’s hordes began to be lifted as Massey’s young recruit Norman Robertson (a Rhodes Scholar),
was quickly installed as Skelton’s replacement as Undersecretary of External Affairs. With this
veritable coup, things quickly changed for the CIIA’s role in shaping Canada’s foreign policy. Chapnick
describes the situation in the following terms:

“Ironically, just as the CIIA abandoned its faith in the Canadian government, Norman Robertson
finally began to mobilize the Department of External Affairs. Since wartime restrictions prevented
him from hiring the additional staff necessary to pursue an internationalist agenda in the traditional
way, he sought temporary help from his former academic colleagues. Himself a University of British
Columbia graduate, Robertson first asked the professor of political science and economics Henry
Angus to move to Ottawa and assume the position of departmental “special assistant.” Angus was a
member of the CIIA and had studied the Versailles settlement in depth.

He was expected to contribute constructively to postwar discussions. George Glazebrook, known to


Pearson from the History Department of the University of Toronto, soon joined him. Glazebrook had
sat on the CIIA research committee that had been tasked with looking into the shape of the postwar
world. In all, approximately twenty university professors eventually worked for External Affairs
during the war, nearly all of whom had direct or at least indirect ties to the CIIA. The recruitment of
these academics created a planning infrastructure within the Canadian civil service that was similar
to those already established in Great Britain and the United States. Two years after the Anglo-
American process of planning the postwar order had started, Canada was finally taking its first small
step forward.” (41)

With the takeover of Canada’s foreign policy-making apparatus in the Department of External Affairs
by the CIIA, Canada’s new program of the “Third Way” was set in place by the likes of Escott Reid,
Lester Pearson, and later Pierre Elliot Trudeau. Under this program, Canada’s role in the post War
world serve as a counterweight to the bipolar cold war dynamic of Mutually Assured Annihilation.
Wherever possible Canada would disrupt America by befriending Communist Countries, while
Britain’s Delphic foreign policy became one of closely mimicking USA. The Third Way was described
later by Pierre Trudeau when asked of his foreign policy approach as “the creation of counter-
weights”. All this was done not for interests of Canada, a nation whose birth had become tragically
aborted but in the service of the British Empire.

oligarchical structures of Canada, was named the “Family Compact”, formed officially during the War
of 1812 by loyalist cliques who both left America, pre-existent loyalists from the War of 1776, and
British aristocrats newly landed in Canada. Its legacy involved the creation of instruments for the
imperial indoctrination of young elites such as King’s College (f.1827) and Upper Canada College
(f.1829) along with the Bank of Upper Canada, all of which were run by the Compact’s leader, and
Bishop for the Church of England in Canada, John Strachan. UCC was designed explicitly to be a
‘feeder school’ to King’s College (which was to take over full control of UCC in 1837 and later became
re-named to “The University of Toronto”. The Compact would be forced to re-organize itself after
the 1837 Rebellions of Upper and Lower Canada, led by William Lyon Mackenzie, and Louis-Joseph
Papineau. Mackenzie’s grandson was Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King. The re-
organization of the Family Compact would result in the fraudulent Union of Upper and Lower
Canada in 1840 and the promotion of the slavish belief in “Responsible Government” instead of true
independence. It was from this current that George Parkin would arise.

(19) Rockefeller, Carnegie and Canada: American Philanthropy and the Arts and Letters in
Canada, 2005 by Jeffrey Brison demonstrates in detail the ironic role which “American”
philanthropic foundations served in cultivating a largely anti-American identity for Canadians. The
responsibility to fund the arts and humanities fell fully under the authority of the Canadian
Government by 1957 with the creation of the Canada Council, a centralized cultural control center
catalyzed by the Royal Commission on National Development in the Arts, Letters and Science (1949-
1951), chaired by Vincent Massey. The first CIIA run commission was the Newton-Sirois Royal
Commission of 1935-1937, led by CIIA President Newton and was a complete failure.

(20) It is of note that this time frame is also bookended by the death of the last American System
President and Lincoln follower William McKinley and the emergence into power of American System
and Lincoln follower Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In the interim 3 decades, every single president,
barring President Harding who died under a mysterious case of food poisoning in office, were
demonstrated to have been anglophile puppets of the British Empire.

(23) William Mackenzie King himself has always been a paradoxical character in Canadian history.
Living under the domineering shadow of his mother’s eye (even long after her death), King was
literally possessed by a drive to bring honor back to his family after his grandfather William Lyon
Mackenzie, had led the thwarted Upper Canada Rebellion of 1838. King had the admirable quality of
being a man possessed of a principled will and sense of divine mission on earth, yet sadly an
irrational tendency to speak to his friends and family long after they had died. It was this irrationally
mystical profile that was capitalized on while King had lived in London, visiting the prolific
parapsychology operations and affiliated mediums run by Roundtable leaders as W.T. Stead. King’s
penchant for bad judgement was manifest throughout his life, especially seen as he was hired by the
Rockefeller Foundation from 1914-1918 to help John D. Rockefeller Jr. resolve problems with striking
miners in the USA. It was through King’s mediation that the farcical policy of the “Company Union”
was created. Skelton’s particular frustration with King’s flaky character was evidenced in a letter to
his wife during the 1926 Imperial Conference when Skelton wrote: “the fact that certain other
people [King] give all their time to dining and talking with ‘Lord’ this or ‘Lady’ that and to diary
writing and 5 minutes a day to prepare for conference matters makes everything pretty hard.”,

Quebec, Alberta and B.C, this commission failed completely at achieving its agenda.

(33) Little known today, Alberta was the first Canadian province to pass sterilization laws in 1927
(the other being British Columbia which did the same in 1932). These provinces followed the 32
American States which had done the same beginning with Indiana in 1909.The promotion of their
passage, the financing of the statistical based science promoting them was funded by the two
biggest “philanthropic” organizations in the world: The Carnegie Foundation and the Rockefeller
Corporation. Neither organization was truly American however, and were merely doing the bidding
of their London masters. Later, another LSE trained Fabian named Tommy Douglas replaced
Woodsworth as the leader of the CCF. Tommy Douglas, the father of Canadian universal healthcare,
was a devout eugenicist, writing his 1933 masters thesis on “Problems of the Sub-Normal Family”
while studying at the Fabian run London School of Economics. Most defenders of Douglas applaud
him for having dropped his pro-eugenics philosophy after visiting Nazi Germany in 1936 and
evidenced by the fact that Premier Douglas did not implement proposed 1944 sterilization laws in
Saskatchewan when the opportunity arose. This defense is ill-founded, as eugenics was already
deemed too hot to push publicly, evidenced by the pro-eugenics blueprint which Julian Huxley’s
1946 founding document of UNESCO lays out [see pg. 39 for exerpt]. The Universal Healthcare
reform carried out by Douglas has a much darker intention which must be re-evaluated under this
new light. More on this subject can be found in A Race of our Own: Eugenics and Canada 1894-
1946 and in the appendix to this report.

7-a-xclub1

During this same period, a grouping of Imperial intellectuals known as the “X Club” (f. 1865)
centering on Thomas Huxley, Matthew Arnold, Herbert Spencer and Joseph Hooker were assigned
the responsibility to overhaul the British Empire’s controlling ideological structures that had proven
themselves worn out. Each would specialize on various branches of the sciences and would all
promote gradualist interpretations of change to counteract explanations which required creative
leaps. This program was applied with the intention of: 1) saving the collapsing empire and 2)
establishing the foundation of a new scientific religion based upon Charles Darwin’s highly
materialistic model of Natural Selection as the explanation for the evolution and differentiation of
new species. As X Club co-founder Herbert Spencer went on to elaborate the system of “social
darwinism” as the logical outgrowth of Darwin’s system into human affairs, the intention behind the
propagation of the Darwinian program was never “the enlightenment liberalism in battle against the
ignorant dogmas of religion”, as it is so often recounted by popular historians of science. Rather, the
“revolution in science” initiated by the X Club was merely the re-packaging of an idea as old as
Babylon: The control of the masses by a system of oligarchical rule, simply under a new type
of “scientific dictatorship”. But how, when the demonstration of creative reason’s power to elevate
humanity’s conditions of life by encouraging new discoveries and applied technologies, as promoted
by the American System of Political Economy, would the world now accept the conditions of mental
and political enslavement demanded by the imperialist in a fixed system struggle for diminishing
returns?

This was the challenge upon which young Oxford men would set their creative energies using the
“scientific” reasoning established by Thomas Huxley’s X Club and for the service of the ruling
oligarchical families of Europe. George Parkin like all young Oxford men at this time, was highly
influenced by this network’s ideas, and used them to justify the “natural scientific inevitability” of
the hegemony of the strong over the weak. In this case, the Anglo Saxon master race dominating the
inferior peoples of the earth. This message could be seen in his 1892 work Imperial Federation:
“Nations take long to grow, but there are periods when, as in the long delayed flowering of certain
plants, or in the crystallization of chemical solutions, new forms are taken with extreme rapidity.
There are the strongest reasons for believing that the British nation has such a period immediately
before it. The necessity for the creation of a body of sound public opinion upon the relations to each
other of the various parts of the Empire is therefore urgent.” (8)

In elaborating upon the danger of the British System’s collapse in light of nationalist movements
following the American System model, Parkin went on to ask: “Has our capacity for political
organization reached its utmost limit? For the British people this is the question of questions. In the
whole range of possible political variations in the future there is no issue of such far reaching
significance, not merely for our own people but for the world at large, as the question whether the
British Empire shall remain a political unit… or yielding to disintegrating forces, shall allow the
stream of the national life to be parted into many separate channels.” (9)

One of Parkin’s Oxford contemporaries was Alfred Milner, a character who plays a vicious role in our
drama as the catalyzer behind the formation of the Round Table Movement. Milner credited Parkin
with giving his life direction from that point on (10). It was during 1876 that another contemporary
of Milner and Parkin, named Cecil Rhodes left Oxford in order to make a fortune on a cotton
plantation in South Africa. All three characters were also highly influenced by John Ruskin, the leader
of the “artistic” branch of British Intelligence led by the “Pre-Raphaelite Society”.

The proceeds of Rhodes’ cotton fortune were multiplied many times by ventures into the diamond
industry of South Africa, allowing him to rise to gargantuan heights of political power and wealth,
peaking with his appointment as Prime Minister of Cape Town and Founder of Rhodesia. The current
London-centered mineral cartels Rio Tinto, De Beers, and Lonrho now pillaging Africa, as well as the
legacy of Apartheid which has stained so much of South Africa’s history are among two aspects of
the scarring legacy Rhodes has passed down to present times.

Between 1876 and his becoming High Commissioner to South Africa in 1897, Milner’s path slightly
diverged from Rhodes. Milner was recruited by the editor of the Pall Mall Gazette William T. Stead
and became associate editor soon thereafter. The Gazette’s function was set out in the Pall Mall
Gospel, a short mission statement which Stead demanded all of his employees abide to: “The
Federation of the British Empire is the condition of its survival… as an Empire we must federate or
perish.” The gospel also propagandized for the “inevitable destiny” that the USA and Britain
“coalesce” (11). The role which the Pall Mall played in coordinating a cohesive vision of empire was
the model followed by Milner and his minions later as they ran the Round Table periodicals. Stead
was officially recruited to the grand design in 1889 which was instigated by Rhodes and his sponsor
Lord Rothschild. It was when Stead had been recently released for prison due to his Gazette’s
promotion of “organized vice” only to find his paper in serious financial trouble, when he was first
called upon by Cecil Rhodes, a long time follower of his journal in South Africa. After their first
meeting, Stead ecstatically wrote to his wife:

“Mr. Rhodes is my man! I have just had three hours talk with him. He is full of a far more gorgeous
idea in connection with the paper than even I have had. I cannot tell you his scheme because it is too
secret. But it involves millions. He had no idea that it would cost £250,000 to start a paper. But he
offered me down as a free gift £20,000 to buy a share in the P.M. Gazette as a beginning… His ideas
are federation, expansion, and consolidation of the Empire…. He took to me. Told me some things he
has told no other man—save Lord Rothschild— and pressed me to take the £20,000, not to have any
return, to give no receipt, to simply take it and use it to give me a freer hand on the P.M.G. It seems
all like a fairy dream….” (12)

Quigley demonstrates that both Milner and Stead had become active members of the agenda laid
out by Cecil Rhodes. But what was this agenda? In a series of seven wills written between 1879 and
1901,” Rhodes, the unapologetic racist, laid out his designs for the re-conquering of the world and
indoctrinating young elites into his design:

“Let us form the same kind of society, a Church for the extension of the British Empire. A society
which should have its members in every part of the British Empire working with one object and one
idea we should have its members placed at our universities and our schools and should watch the
English youth passing through their hands just one perhaps in every thousand would have the mind
and feelings for such an object, he should be tried in every way, he should be tested whether he is
endurant, possessed of eloquence, disregardful of the petty details of life, and if found to be such,
then elected and bound by oath to serve for the rest of his life in his Country. He should then be
supported if without means by the Society and sent to that part of the Empire where it was felt he
was needed.’

In another will, Rhodes described in more detail his intention: To and for the establishment,
promotion and development of a Secret Society, the true aim and object whereof shall be for the
extension of British rule throughout the world. The colonization by British subjects of all lands where
the means of livelihood are attainable by energy, labour, and enterprise and especially the
occupation by British settlers of the entire Continent of Africa, the Holy Land, the Valley of the
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, these aboard of
China and Japan, [and] the ultimate recovery of the United States of America as an integral part of
the British Empire.” (13)

It was under this specific design to create an indoctrination system of talented young disciples that
Rhodes’ dream of stealing the world and reconquering America that the Rhodes Trust was
established upon his death in 1902. Some historians have maintained that since Rhodes doesn’t
literally bring up his call for a secret society in his last two wills, he must have “matured” and left
those notions behind him. Yet Professor Quigley points out, that the belief pushed by such
“authoritative” historians is a farce, evidenced by George Parkin’s revealing observation taken from
his book The Rhodes Scholarship, published in 1912: “It is essential to remember that this final will is
consistent with those which had preceded it, that it was no late atonement for errors, as some have
supposed, but was the realization of life-long dreams persistently pursued.” (14)

Upon Rhodes’ death, George Parkin became the first head of the Rhodes Scholarship Trust in 1902
leaving his post as Principal of Upper Canada College (1895-1902) to fulfill his duty. It was under this
post that Parkin recruited fellow Upper Canada College professor Edward Peacock, who joined him
as a Rhodes trustee and promoter of what became the Canadian branches of the Round Table
movement. While organizing for the ouster of Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier and the defeat of the
1911 Reciprocity Treaty, this group recruited young talented disciples from their college connections
along the way. The model of the Round Table involved a central coordinating body in London, with
branches strategically placed throughout the Commonwealth in order to provide one vision and
voice to the young and talented “upper managerial class” of the reformed British Empire. Parkin and
Peacock were joined by Lord Alfred Milner, Sir Arthur Glazebrook, W.T. Stead, Arthur Balfour and
Lord Nathan Rothschild as co-trustees.

Working in tandem with the eugenicists of the Fabian Society of Sidney and Beatrice Webb, Balfour
had founded the first International Eugenics Conference in 1912 alongside enthusiastic recruits such
as young Roundtable member Winston Churchill. Charles Darwin’s cousin and founder of eugenics,
Sir Francis Galton died mere weeks before being able to keynote the conference. The Fabian Society
and its sister organization “The Co-efficients Club” featured such other prominent eugenicists as
Bertrand Russell, Halford Mackinder, H.G. Wells and George Bernard Shaw, and later Harold Laski
and John Maynard Keynes [see accompanying article on the Eugenics bent of the Fabian Society].
Membership rosters of either organization frequently overlapped (15)
