The Congress of Vienna of 1815 envisioned Europe as a group of individual nation-states, each with standing armies, using treaties and diplomacy to maintain the balance of power. Statehood or nationalism was the choice of the day. Not so 100 years later.
The New World Order envisioned Europe at the Paris Peace Talks as a League of Nations, where a centralized international organization would have the sole role of settling disputes between individual nations; using a legal compendium of laws, treaties, and agreements, as opposed to open warfare.
President Woodrow Wilson is usually credited with the idea for the League. In his 14-point plan for peace after World War I, Wilson introduced the seed for an international organization of intergovernmental nations in his 14 th point:
XIV. A general association of nations
"A general association of nations must be formed under specific covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike." [1]
Nevertheless, the brain child for the founding of the League appears to have originated in England with the British Foreign Secretary Edward Grey. Both Sir Edward and Colonel Mandall House, who was the President’s most trusted confident, advised Wilson to adopt the League, thereby creating an international governmental ruling body under the auspices of the League of Nations.
“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 perfecting of a system of emigration from the United Kingdom, and of 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, the seaboard of China and Japan, the ultimate recovery of the United States of America as an integral part of the British Empire, the inauguration of a system of Colonial representation in the Imperial Parliament which may tend to weld together the disjointed members of the Empire and, finally, the foundation of so great a Power as to render wars impossible, and promote the best interests of humanity
“The powers of financial capitalism had (a) far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world.”
After the great stock market crash of 1929, Oppenheimer realized that demand and sales would drop, while production continued. In 1930 he set up a new company, the Diamond Corporation Limited, specifically to bear the costs of keeping large stocks of diamonds off the sales market, while assuring some kind of cash flow to the producers. Oppenheimer was chairman of both De Beers and the Diamond Corporation by this time, and De Beers and the Rothschilds actually provided most of the cash for four years.
British knights litter the boardrooms of Oppenheimer's principal companies, and both British and French branches of the Rothschild family are represented on the board of De Beers.
