It's very obvious to me now that we've been deliberately deceived by our education system. I was paying attention in high school history and went on to acquire a piece of decorative paper deemed to denote a degree in modern history and international relations. I covered American history, modern Germany, the two world wars, the Cold War, Eastern European communism, the Meji revolution, Chinese civil war, history of western political thought. No-where did anyone bring up the perspective of the two clashing models, nor to examine the approach to economic and national development policies of national leaders through this perspective. Yet the quotes from the personalities in the article, all of whom I encountered during my studies, make it clear that Bismarck, Sun Yat-sen, Ho Chi Mingh, Lincoln, McKingley, Willy Brandt, Laurier, senior American military officers were thinking in these terms. Churchill's history of the Second World War and Mahan were on my supplementary reading list. Quigley was not. (I read Guderian's Panzer Leader and Col Harry G. Summer's On Strategy instead.) All those dead presidents? American gun violence, nothing more to be seen here. We didn't look closer at the Gouzenko affair, the FLQ crisis, British and French support of the Confederacy and Alexander II's support on the side of the Union and his internal policies. Assassinated European statesmen in the late 19th and early 20th centuries? Anarchists. No need to look for any commonalities amongst the victims nor into who was backing the anarchists. My American and Cold War history professors depicted FDR as a naïve, ill weakling in dealing with Stalin, while Churchill was depicted as the clever chess master who knew he was dealing with two ruthless, murderous dictators and how to deal with them. We skipped right over Bertrand Russel.

Truly indeed, the main target was missed when the German and Japanese war machines were destroyed.

Brilliant work Cynthia. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

It is very clear that the global empire has seized control of the narrative from "academia" and "education" to "science" and everything even the Pulitzer prizes and the Nobel Prizes, especially the one for economics (not a true Nobel prize but granted by central banks) - all of it is to push the globalists narratives. A trend I have noted since the Covid-terrorism is the swamp of books that were rushed out, clearly ghost written, to support the narratives of those that were instrumental in forcing Xi Jinpings lockdown and Covid policies on the world. Fake books for influencers. There is nearly 2 dozen out now.

And the Rhodes scholars? Isn't that program simply meant to indoctrinate future American leaders in British philosophy, even to anoint them, as the king creates his knights and lords?

What a excellent article revealing that the theme of liberty for all is now taken up by the Russians/ China in recognizing the respect due to one’s sovereign state.

It’s an anti imperialist move and how ironic America is now fighting against the adored American System of the 19th century.

Bertram Russell completely fooled by his social background of his imperial class to appreciate the illogic of his stance for a American hegemony to rule the world .

To institute the same thing.

It’s a natural instinct deeper than logic influencing us to have the hegemony of one rule as the alpha male in a pack of wolves does over its group.

We are animals after all .

One sees this in science ad well with its social biases.

Conrad Lorenz began to observe and study us as an animal for the reasons behind our outrageous violence creating the two WW wars.

The Natural world is full of surprises !

What a beautiful excellent article to provoke a discussion on how we arrived at where we are today and is to be appreciated Immensely.

History is indeed is a living thing as is the genetics inherent in our memory.

I enjoyed this article. It gave me an interesting spin on recent political history and in so doing pulled a thread from a complex tapestry in a vast conspiracy. Especially significant to me was the Bertrand Russell quotes and how it remains the mainstay of neocon thinking. I am looking forward to part 2.

Thank you for a very informative documentary on the History that is never taught! Truth is indeed learned, but never told! God Bless your beautiful mind!

"God bless your beautiful mind." Lovely.

I always learn from you (Matthew and Cynthia), seeing more and more of the great picture. Thank you.

Absolutely masterful piece. The Bandung Conference section really opened my eyes to how much the developing world actualy looked to American System principles as a path forward, not to Soviet communism. I studied post-WWII development in college but somehow nobody ever mentioned these connections or the scale of that movement. Its wild to think 54% of humanity was represented there calling for something America has basically abandoned.

Brilliant analysis and research Cynthia Chung. It certainly is not what I was taught in schools I attended. Now at 6 decades plus old you're helping me greatly with the in depth research and layers upon layers of history.

Your work and very few others point to the British handlers in conjunction with banking entities of being the head of the snake 🐍.

Black Nobility families who rule from the shadows of estates and yachts go unseen and unheard. It's their minions pulling the strings. Some knowingly and majority of the others believing they're fighting for something positive. When in fact it's quite the opposite.

Thank you Cynthia.

Very informative and well formulated.

There is only one word of which’s consideration I feel important to highlight, as it actually stands at the base of the entire system of understanding.

This word is “imperialism”, and the one which should be used instead is “western colonialism”.

Big difference between the two is that actually empires, which predate modern history, were symbol of positive evolution, as they were sprung out of the collapse of the ancient cast system.

Empires originally formed what we would call as the socialist societies of antiquity.

Ancient Empires used also the election system, far before the sold out Greek did.

Also, empire have an emperor, yet what we call empire nowadays “end actually since quite a few decades now”, have no emperor.

An other consideration should be that by calling empire the actual cabal which is running the show, we end up putting a cloak on the actual culprit and looking for the answers in the air.

Perhaps this is the very reason why the meaning of so many words of great importance and value, have through the years been transformed to assume the one of words we are made to perceive in negative way.

But than again thank you for sharing you knowledge and great wisdom..

Cosmic hugs from space.

Wonderful, deep research articulated brilliantly. Those of us in the west must share this information, this history as widely as possible. We may be the last generation that can seek and find stability in a world gone truly mad. It is said- the truth will set us free. Much gratitude for this work.

The Last Time Britain said No to the American Empire, was when our Socialist Prime Minister, Harold Wilson, refused to Send British Troops to Fight in Vietnam. Earlier we offered our Gurkha Troops to help American Troops with Jungle Combat. America Refused; saying it`s Us Rangers could defeat the Viet Cong . That went Well.

Harold Wilson was a good British Prime Minister that went against Britain's imperial policy. There is also evidence presented in Richard Cottrell's book on Operation Gladio that NATO was involved in a soft coup against him.

The US did become a structural copy of the British Empire but WW2 still meant a dethronization of the British elite who were reduced to advisors and eventually a sidekick. The problem of the Roman Empire that eventually led to its fall was that after they got their hands on African gold societ was taken over by a kleptocratic elite that eventually kept most of the population in debt slavery. All leaders (the Gracci brohers etc) that tried to work for debt reform were called tyrants and murdered as also happened in Greece. Caesar was murdered on the suspicion that he might use his political clout to seek debt reform. The parallel to modern US/West is clear. (the west chose the most toxic societies of antiquity as its role models)

Thank you for this very interesting piece.

One correction.

You wrote -

“ In April 1954 just before the Geneva Conference on Vietnam, Zhou Enlai, Premier of the People’s Republic of China, initiated bilateral agreements with India (under the leadership of Nehru) and with Myanmar (under the leadership of U Nu) which established the Five Principles of Peaceful Co-Existence. This initiative by Zhou, Nehru and U Nu would become a central concept motivating the Spirit of Bandung. ”,

In 1954 myanmar did not exist, it was called Burma.

I understand the context, but I like to remind that the label of “empire”, is a weaponized one as is designed to destroy our true history.

Empire which preceded the Roman one were peaceful and based on mutual understanding and for the common wellbeing.

In the regards of the Soviet, it was a masonic operation designed to maintain the illusion of freedom and democracy on one side, and the one of a technocracy rebranded as “communism” on the other, and at the same time maintained the world trapped under the cape of fear and deception.

Cold War is a cognitive warfare operation used to maintain people scared and confused, and for to ultimately, keep the total control of the mass media and of its propaganda machine.

Aside from demonizing history and culture, the modern definition of empire is actually serving as a coverup for colonization and institutionalized cleptocracy.

Anyhow as always, thank you for sharing

Wonderful work here, I have had a difficult time finding this kind of information before and I’m happy that you are bringing to the attention of the people so well composed. Thank you

I recall reading in Michael Hudson's KILLING THE HOST about the American system, particularly how German industrialists and financiers adopted this way. Finance was especially interesting as German bankers took hands-on positions in developing industry, which was in sharp contrast with British bankers who invested in land and mercantile adventures. All this was ended with WWI as British finance (Free Trade) won, and my only conclusion was that the Americans took the wrong side in that war.

"Britain never won a war against the United States"?

Britain might not have reestablished military & political control over the USA/13 colonies, yet the War of 1812 looks a lot like a loss to me. We got booted out of (and never annexed!) Canada, while the nicer parts of Ontario & Quebec was really the major prize which the US army had gone after. If Napoleon has not required most of the Empire's attention, it could well have been the end of the USA as an independent country.

Don't think we will get away with stealing Canada this time either.
