Topic Introduction


"But that's not what they taught me in school, lol ...???"
by Sanders

WWI was fought over Iraqi oil and to take down the Czar, WWII was fought to create world wide sympathy for the Jews (god bless the millions killed and their descendants), the American Revolution was fought over the printing of money, and the Spanish had nothing to do with the sinking of the USS Maine. Oh, and, a big part of the reason most wars are fought is - to create debt.

Well, some of those statements might be overly bold, but all those points are a part of the picture - that they never taught any of us in history class, god forbid we know the TRUTH of why our maps are drawn the way they are...

During December of 1999, the History Channel ran a series about the most important people of the past millenium. Descartes, Gallileo, Hitler, Stalin, Newton, Einstein, Madame Curie, et al. Each installment consisted of little biographies of all the contenders for the MOST IMPORTANT person of the past millenium. Then, on Dec. 31st they announced the winner.

Gutenberg.

Wha??? Who????

The inventor of the printing press. Prior to Gutenberg's invention in 1440 the main vehicle for the intermingling of different cultures and the transfer of information around the world was WAR.

After Gutenberg, it was WORDS. The printing press pulled Europe out of the dark ages by it's bootstraps and made the Rennaisance and the rise of western civilization possible.

It pains me to say that I think we have entered into a new era again, where words have become merely a vehicle for propoganda, and WAR is again the popular vehicle for communicating ideas - ideas that I personally do not agree with - to put it very mildly.

So, read about history - the part they didn't teach you in school - here.

THE VERSAILLES THESIS -- The Roots of WWI, and WWII
Conference Speech by Webster Tarpley, Schiller Institute Food For Peace Conference,
Chicago, Illinois, February 22-23, 1992

As we will see, the British came very close to establishing just such a single empire in the period between about 1848 and 1863...
...In the course of this, I will have to simplify some things...We will also see the irony of history, that if the British came between 1850 and 1860, they came close to establishing their worldwide dominion, the irony is that then blew up in their faces, especially around the events of the American Civil War, the Russian cooperation with Lincoln during the Civil War, already referred to, to the point where by about 1870, the British had to fear a convergence of the United States, Russia, and united Germany, in such a way that the future of the British Empire would have been put into jeopardy, that British world domination would have been ruled out forever...
