THE ATLANTIC COMMUNITY : A BLUEPRINT FOR WORLD GOVERNMENT

George Catlin married Vera Brittain, author of Testament of Youth. They had two children, one of whom was the politician Shirley Williams, who has attended Bildreberg twice and kept her mouth shut.

Catlin wrote a number of books, one of which is The Atlantic Community, published 1959. I am currently reading this. It sets out how a world government could rule over several regional/continental governments! In other words, the UN ruling over the EU, NAU, AU, etc.

As pointed out last week, Catlin was on the edge of the Cliveden/HG Wells set, launching magazines to publish works by the Huxleys. He was also a founder of The Movement for Atlantic Union, drafted the constitution of the Atlantic Institute, and was a member of The Pilgrims Club.

I shall now quote Catlin verbatim from The Atlantic Community, page 31:

The object of this book, more precisely, is to advocate the organic unification of the Atlantic World, of which the English-Speaking portion remains the vital nucleus. By this nucleus is meant, not a racial, but a cultural bloc, with common traditions, habits, culture and (by and large) political views. The very core of that culture is a notion, not of race, but of freedom. No offence against humanity and the values in the grand tradition of human civilization is more detestable than racialism or the denial of equality of opportunity to ability on the grounds of race. The horizon goal is, indeed, that of a world organziation and authority. The effective route is that of regional organization. That bloc is capable of "working" in unity. It must be caused to recognise itself as such. What precisely is meant is English-Speaking Unification and the vitalization of that regional world as a community, although not to the exclusion of Atlantic partners or of further Commonwealth countries. If united it is the most powerful, wealthiest, most largely populated unit in the world, the best endowed with steel, oil, and (not least) technical skill, decisive in the world's destinies, even against Fascism and Stalinism. It is capable of working for economic justice as for the abolition of war.

From this we can deduce that Catlin believes that the AngloSaxons are the most powerful bloc in the world and should exercise that power, but that he apparently also opposes racism.

But later on page 45, chapter entitled What We Want, Catlin begins to talk about previous ideas of a world federation, citing HG Wells, Count Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi, and also Lionel Curtis and Cecil Rhodes, about whom Catlin writes:

Apart from Kant's old argument, which I have quoted, to the effect that the next stage in the world's political development beyond the State must be the Federation, Cecil Rhodes' whole life was devoted to the notion of an Anglo-Saxon federation of nations.

...Mr. Lionel Curtis, in the direct succession of Rhodes and associated with the Round Table group, in his three volumes Civitas Dei (1934-37) brought us back again to the notion of federation of the AngloSaxon world.

So Catlin was fully aware of Rhodes, his devotion to creating an AngloSaxon world government and the Round Table.

Catlin develops their ideas into a workable framework of an AngloSaxon world government ruling over regional/continental governments.

Here is Catlin encouraging Great Britain and the USA to not retreat into isolation:

It can indeed be urged - and I have some sympathy with those who urge it - that the British have never yet been prepared to take the full responsibilities of their powers in Europe, and have thereby damaged Europe. They have always, when the victory has been won, sought to retreat into irresponsible isolation. The same was still truer of the Americans - and their blame in 1919 was even greater for starting the stampede away from international responsibilities in the name of peaceful normalcy.

Here Catlin criticises the USA for voting to not join The League of Nations after WW1, which doomed that first attempt at world government. It was the gimp of King George V, Sir Edward Grey, who dragged Great Britain into WW1 under orders from George, who first began proposing to Colonel House The League of Nations (using that actual phrase) as early as 1915. House developed Grey's ideas into Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points. After WW1 Grey was sent to America as British Ambassador to the USA to help Wilson persuade America to vote to join The League of Nations, but as Catlin states, Grey failed and the USA did not vote to join. This led to the creation of The Council on Foreign Relations to persuade American politicians to join a world government, a member of which is...Shirley Williams!!

I would then argue that this decision to aviod joining the LoN led to the Anglo-American Establishment engineering WW2 so that the USA would suffer many, many more casualties than in WW1 and be more presuaded to join a world government after WW2. But that is for another blog.

But these small quotes from George Catllin, or should I say Sir George Catlin, the father of Shirley Williams shows just how close to the establishment she is, and suggests a reason as to why she gets invited to Bilderberg...AND KEEPS HER MOUTH SHUT ABOUT IT!!
