The Origin
The origin of WW1 is actually the US Civil War 1861 – 1865 because it showed to Great Britain the power of the alliance between Russia and The United States which later developed into not just a military but also an economic alliance.
The US Civil War was organised by Great Britain to divide The United States, the old divide-and-conquer method, and the chosen wedge was slavery. British agents promoted anti-slavery propaganda in the north, while other British agents promoted pro-slavery propaganda in the south. The Godfather of the Confederacy was President Andrew Jackson, who was a slaveholder and one of the most powerful and largest slaveholders at the time, owning 300 slaves. Jackson destroyed the Second Bank of the United States, which under Nicholas Biddle's management, was building the United States into a threat to the British Empire. So the British set about destroying the banking system of the United States. Jackson was engineered into the Presidency by British agents, and once President he was encouraged to destroy the American banking and economic system. Due to this financial destruction the south was unable to industrialise and became dependent on agriculture. Hence King Cotton ruled! Jackson enabled the rapid growth of plantations in the south by driving native Americans from their ancient ancestral lands and handing those lands over to planters who needed slaves to work the plantations and do all the back-breaking work.
One concerned observer of this war was Tsar Alexander II of Russia. He sent his navy to New York and San Francisco in October 1863 to help Abraham Lincoln, seeing the manipulating hand of the British behind the war. There had been several attempts on the lives of the Tsars and coup attempts in Russia, by Freemasons, which was based in London. Before 1863 the last such attempt was by The Decemberists in 1825. But after Alexander sent his navy to help Lincoln, which stopped the British and French helping the Confederacy, and after issuing threats to the British that they'd have to fight Russia if they helped the Confederacy, the assassination attempts on Tsars of Russia began again. Lincoln was assassinated almost immediately after the war in a British plot. In 1866, the year after Lincoln won the US Civil War there was an assassination attempt on Alexander, which he survived. He survived 2 more assassination attempts but Narodna Volya eventually blew him up in 1881. There were also assassination attempts on later Tsars, some successful, some not. One failed attempt involved Lenin's brother who was hanged. The terrorism in Russia was run out of London.
Also during that 2nd half of the 19th century, Russia, Germany and the United States began to cooperate against the wishes of the British. Land-based railways were being built to open new and vast areas for commerce and trade, enabling rapid industrial development. These railways were beyond the control of the British navy so there was not much the British could do physically to stop or hinder this development. Yes, Germany was arming but compared to the British military and human resources of the Commonwealth, Germany's military was not a threat.
And the economy of the USA had become greater than that of Great Britain.
So the British began to engineer a European war. Whether that war was to be restricted to Europe alone, I do not know. But the British monarchy began to isolate Germany through a sequence of treaties, which under the correct circumstances, would isolate Germany diplomatically and militarily. The Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy was agreed in 1882. These treaties were first agreed through Prince Edward, later King Edward VII. Edward was at the time the Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England and was thus the top Freemason in the world. Edward isolated Germany through engineering 2 agreements: the Entente Cordiale in 1904 between Great Britain and France, which developed in 1907 into the Triple Entente between Great Britain, France and Russia, which would lead to Germany having to fight France to the west and Russia to the east should Great Britain and Germany go to war against each other. Many European commentators noticed what the British were planning.
Edward died in 1910 and his brother George became King George V. Edward's warmongering diplomacy was continued by Sir Edward Grey.
The blame for WW1 lies squarely and entirely on King George V and Sir Edward Grey. Edward may have done all the long term planning and arranging but it was King George V and Sir Edward Grey who pulled the trigger.
The Trigger
In 1903 Great Britain created The Balkan Committee to manipulate nationalist organisations in the Balkans to drive for war and expansion. The man who assassinated Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand was called Gavrilo Princip, who was a member of Young Bosnia, which was one of many Young organisations either organised or inspired by British Intelligence agent Giuseppe Mazzini. The assassination squad contained 10 members of Young Bosnia. Princip's family had originally lived in Serbia and had only recently moved to Serbia shortly before Princip's birth. As such Princip was a Bosnian-Serb.
The assassins of Arch Duke Ferdinand received help from the Black Hand, a secret society within Serbian Military Intelligence, who believed that Austria had plans for Serbia.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire covered much of the northern Balkans including Bosnia, which Austria annexed in 1908. To Bosnia's south east lay Serbia, who at the time was on a rampage and had at least doubled its territory in the previous years, and had designs for Bosnia. Arch Duke Ferdinand was in Sarajevo, Bosnia on 28th June 1914 to observe the Austrian military on exercises. There was no need for him to be there on such a mission. And the date 28th June was special to Serbia. That date is Vidovdan and is celebrated in Serbia because of two wars between Serbia and the Ottoman Empire.
So who in Vienna authorised and organised the security for this visit?
At the trial of the assassins several very intriguing statements were made: a number of the assassins were Freemasons; they had received weapons and encouragement from Freemasons abroad. Regarding this Freemasonry link, Ferdinand himself knew the Freemasons had sentenced him to death, and he told several friends this before he was assassinated. And when the investigation into Ferdinand's death began to examine Freemasonry's role the investigation was shut down.
Ferdinand himself was not liked in Vienna. He wanted peace, and the Austrian hierarchy believed that he had married well beneath him. His wife Sophie was shunned and was barely allowed to be seen in public with him. And the funerals of Franz Ferdinand and Sophie were a non-event. What would have happened if Ferdinand became Emperor? Was there a faction in Austria who wanted Ferdinand dead to:
1. provide a casus belli for war on then expansionist Serbia?
2. Remove Ferdinand's anti-war position from the Austrian hierarchy?
3. Remove the potential embarrassment of Sophie being seen public with Ferdinand should he become Emperor?
CH Norman produced a pamphlet in which he describes The Grand Orient and the war. Norman claims that he was invited to a meeting of the Grand Orient in 1906 to form an English lodge and to embark on a propaganda campaign on behalf of the Entente Cordiale with the Russian Okhrana to generate a "terrible European war". And on 28th June 1914 Norman claims that a man he knew as the London agent of the Grand Orient approached him and asked if there was any special news from Sarajevo, even though when this occurred the assassination had not yet taken place! Norman also states that this London agent was involved in planning the assassination of Ferdinand.
But why did Norman not name this London agent?
Thirty Seven Days
Sir Edward Grey could have avoided WW1 by swiftly announcing that Great Britain would join France and Russia in war. But he didn't. He called for peace talks instead. But why did Grey not do both? Kaiser Wilhelm was kept out of the loop by Rothschild cousin Bethmann-Hollweg. And here's the killer: King George V told Germany that Great Britain would not join in any war. This encouraged Germany to mobilise, which encouraged Russia to mobilise too. And when Germany invaded Belgium King George ordered Sir Edward Grey to get Britain into the war. Grey did this by citing the 1839 Treaty of London, which guaranteed the neutrality of Belgium but which Britain did not need to enforce on its own.
So Europe went to war.
But this European war became a world war.
And after the war there was the first attempt at world government to be run by Great Britain with the United States as the police.
This framework still exists today.
Further details to come.
