(0:08) Professor Carroll Quigley was a highly esteemed American historian who moved in the circles of the highest political and financial elite of the United States. (0:18) He taught at top universities – Harvard, Princeton, and Georgetown. (0:23) He was a trusted consultant to the U.S. Department of Defense and the Navy.
(0:29) For 20 years, he had permission to study the documents and connections of the American and British upper echelons. (0:37) In today's terms, Professor Carroll Quigley became a whistleblower. (1:22) Quigley wrote that the association of Cecil Rhodes, known as the Milner Group after Rhodes's death, (1:30) was one of the most important historical facts of the 20th century and was so significant that evidence of its existence is not hard to find if you know where to look. (1:42) The Milner Group, exposed by Quigley, is now widely recognized, though called by different names by various people. (1:50) Recently, the most popular term has become the so-called Deep State.
(1:56) Without Quigley's revelations, the lid on this behind-the-scenes group of influencers would still be closed today. (2:02) By opening Pandora's box and revealing some of the evil things inside, he allowed others to see the truth.
(2:11) His work exposing this powerful group was enriched and expanded by years of careful research by other historians, (2:21) explaining how control over the civilized world was continuously gained through wars, economic manipulations, and political coercion (2:32) by generations of privilege and wealth. (2:35) Solid evidence has been gathered that members were directly responsible for leading the world into war in 1914 (2:43) and deliberately prolonged that terrible slaughter for over 4 long years, making enormous fortunes from it. (2:51) The extremely wealthy and powerful behind-the-scenes elite controlled the governments of Great Britain and the United States even then, (2:59) and most of the global chaos in the last century was caused by them.
(3:04) Although Professor Quigley did humanity a great service, he remains something of a mystery. (3:11) He exposed this ruthless, anti-democratic, totalitarian organization, yet stated that he agreed with their premises, goals, and aspirations for global control. (3:29) You must protect my future, as well as yours.
(3:34) I'd better start talking because, you see, this is unfolding. (3:40) I told you, you have it. Do you want to turn it off? (3:47) These powerful people intended to replace democratically elected governments, arguing (3:53) that their rule would be the rule of the best, regardless of whether the people wanted it or not.
(4:00) However, he disagreed with their methods, their tendency to hand over power and influence to those chosen by friendship rather than merit, or forgetting the consequences of their actions. (4:14) In his two main works, Tragedy and Hope and The Anglo-American Establishment, he described the history of people who successfully hid their power and influence, their collaboration, and their common goal. (4:27) These people, their descendants, and associates covertly aimed towards creating a world government, which ultimately they and only they would control.
(4:38) These particular books by Quigley themselves became subjects of suppression. (4:43) Tragedy and Hope was taken off bookstore shelves by unknown individuals and withdrawn from sale shortly after its release. (4:50) His publisher, Macmillan Company, despite growing interest, destroyed the original printing plates and then lied to the author for the next 6 years, claiming that no one wanted to buy his book.
(5:03) Quigley believed that influential people suppressed the book because it revealed matters they did not want to be known. (5:34) The opening fragment of Quigley's book, The Anglo-American Establishment, can be read like a thriller, but it is not spy fiction. (5:42) One winter afternoon in February 1891, three men had a candid conversation in London.
(5:49) The consequences of this conversation were to be of the utmost importance for the British Empire and the whole world. (5:56) The staunch British imperialists who met that day, Cecil Rhodes, William Steed, and Lord Esher, were well-known public figures, each associated with great wealth and influence. (6:10) A few weeks later, they were joined by Lord Alfred Milner and Lord Nathaniel Rothschild, an international banker and the richest man in the world at the time.
(6:21) He was introduced alongside Lords Salisbury and Rosebery, whose families had controlled the Conservative and Liberal parties in Britain for generations and ruled the country as their personal fiefdom. (6:36) Rothschild provided financial power, while Salisbury and Rosebery ensured long-term patronage and political networks. (6:44) Cecil Rhodes, in collaboration with Rothschild, made a fortune from gold and diamond mines in South Africa.
(6:52) Steed was the most prominent English journalist of that time. Lord Esher represented the interests of the monarchy. (7:00) It was through Esher that the monarch was fully informed about the group's affairs.
(7:07) Alfred Milner, who was a contemporary of Rhodes at Oxford University, was a capable and inventive man who began his professional life as an aspiring lawyer, (7:18) turned to journalism, campaigned politically against Boer separatists in South Africa, and eventually became an extremely powerful and successful broker. (7:30) Milner was a master manipulator, an assertive intellectual with an iron will, who offered that one essential factor – strong leadership. (7:41) After Rhodes' death in 1902, he became the undisputed leader of the most powerful and far-reaching secret society in the world.
(7:51) They were the founding fathers of the political arm of what we today call the New World Order movement. (8:03) They gathered in private homes and grand estates, at the heart of this small clique whose goal was world domination. (8:10) There was a mixture of international finance, political manipulation, and control of government policy.
(8:17) They developed their plan for a secret society to take control of political power in Britain and later in the United States. (8:25) They renewed the Anglo-Saxon bond between the two countries, expanding their power base to include Anglophile Americans in their fraternity. (8:36) People who would then dominate the world through financial institutions, global corporations, and dependent governments. (8:44) Wars, revolutions, and other events of the past hundred years can be directly attributed to these individuals.
(8:51) The Boer War and the destruction of Germany from 1914 to 1918 were merely the first steps in their long-term strategy. (9:00) The group consisted of concentric circles with an inner core of trusted collaborators known as the Society of the Elect, (9:08) who unquestionably knew they were members of an exclusive elite aiming to take and maintain power worldwide. (9:16) The second circle, the Association of Helpers, was larger and somewhat fluid in its membership.
(9:22) The third, outer ring consisted of members who may or may not have been aware that (9:29) they were integral parts of the secret society or were being unknowingly used by it, (9:35) although it is more likely that they were aware. (9:39) These overlapping rings themselves are concealed, (9:42) hidden behind formally organized groups of seemingly unimportant political significance. (9:48) As Quigley put it, the group was able to hide its existence quite effectively, (9:53) and many of its influential members, content with possessing actual power rather than its appearance, (9:59) remain unknown even to students of British history.
(10:02) At the start of the 20th century, its tentacles spread throughout the empire, (10:07) to America, Russia, France, the Balkans, and South Africa. (10:12) Their targets were agents in the highest positions in foreign governments, (10:16) who were bought and nurtured to be used in the future. (10:21) Moreover, they had the power to control history.
(10:25) The secret elite dictated the writing and teaching of history from universities to the smallest schools, (10:30) carefully controlling the publication of official government documents, (10:35) selecting documents to include in the official version of history (10:38) and denying access to any evidence that might reveal their existence. (10:45) One of the problems faced by anyone who picks up Quigley's book, The Anglo-American Establishment, (10:49) is that it is a difficult read. (10:54) Like the early chapters of the Christian Bible, (10:57) its lists of interconnections enumerate many representatives of aristocracy, (11:02) big business, finance, politics, and the press.
(11:05) Some were linked by marriage alliances, others by gratitude for titles and positions of power. (11:11) He dedicates an entire chapter to revealing how the secret elite controlled The Times, (11:17) then the most influential British newspaper, for over 50 years. (11:22) Except for the period of 1919-1922.
(11:26) The list of Oxford graduates, especially those who received scholarships at All Souls College, (11:32) included Milner's successor, Lionel Curtis, and many others, (11:37) who later obtained positions of great importance and power. (11:40) Oxford gave this group access to influential professors, (11:43) some of whom themselves created and funded chairs, such as the chair of colonial history established in 1905.
(11:52) Quigley indicates that the covert group completely monopolized the writing and teaching of history of their period. (11:59) They did this through various means, including the press, but none more effectively than at Oxford University. (12:06) Their influence was so powerful that they controlled the Dictionary of National Biography, (12:11) which meant that the secret elite wrote the biographies of their own members.
(12:16) They created their own official history of key members, (12:19) intended for publication, removing any incriminating evidence (12:23) and presenting the best social image that could safely be produced. (12:30) Oxford University was also the elite's base for the Rhodes Scholarships, (12:34) funded by his legacy upon his death. (12:38) Rhodes' wish was to create a worldwide group, (12:42) dedicated to English ideals and the empire as the embodiment of those ideals, (12:47) and the scholarships brought this international dimension to the society.
(12:52) From the very beginning, Rhodes Scholarships favored American students. (12:57) There were 100 places, two for each of the 50 states and territories, (13:01) while only 60 were available for the entire empire and, oddly enough, a few from Germany. (13:08) The best talents from the best families were to be nurtured at Oxford University (13:12) and imbued with an appreciation for the empire.
(13:15) In The Anglo-American Establishment, Quigley concluded that the hidden elite expanded their power base through penetration of politics, (13:25) the press, education, banking, and the military-industrial complex. (13:30) Politicians were always an easy target. (13:33) Ambition, greed, and sexual proclivities could be nurtured and exploited.
(13:39) Sometimes, real people emerged at the forefront, (13:42) bringing strong leadership to the cause. (13:46) In the early years, Alfred Milner was consumed with the need to establish (13:50) the primacy of the English upper class at the top of world power. (13:54) He believed in the need to merge the British Empire and the American ideal, (13:59) to push aside any rival to world dominance.
(14:03) Milner went to South Africa in 1897, (14:07) to save it from falling to the Boers. (14:10) He deliberately started the Boer War and saved the diamond and gold mines (14:15) for his group colleagues – Rhodes, Rothschild, Beit, and Bailey. (14:20) He was adored by Cecil Rhodes, who entrusted his legacy to Milner, (14:25) and the king rewarded him with a knighthood, and later the title of viscount.
(14:31) Lord Alfred Milner was probably the most important man (14:34) living in the first decades of the 20th century, yet his name remains (14:39) practically unknown outside academic and political circles. (14:44) Why? Between 1897 and 1905 in South Africa, (14:49) he built a personal group of young, carefully selected officials, (14:54) who loyally followed every one of his decisions behind the scenes of British and world politics. (14:59) He entrusted them with the future direction of his cause – world domination.
(15:04) His secretariat in South Africa consisted of capable young men (15:09) known through Oxford University. (15:12) Called Milner's Kindergarten, they absorbed his disdain for careerists (15:16) and concerns that democracy, as it had developed in the Western world, (15:21) was corrupt and untrustworthy. (15:25) In 1909, Milner began to expand the Kindergarten into a highly secret organization (15:30) called the Round Table with branches in South Africa, Canada, (15:35) New Zealand, Australia, and importantly in the United States.
(15:39) Such an Arthurian title suggested equality of rank and importance, (15:43) nobility of purpose, and honesty in debate, but it was nothing of the sort. (15:49) Milner, like most of the group, considered democracy far inferior (15:53) to the rule of the chosen few, who had a better intellectual capacity (15:58) to assess the public interest. (16:01) Wealth, of course, also mattered.
(16:04) It was believed that the key to the entire economy and prosperity lay in banking (16:08) and finance, which were already controlled. (16:11) Alfred Milner acted as the elder statesman and father of the Round Table, (16:16) and his role was described as president of the Intellectual Republic. (16:22) Round Table groups around the world remained in contact (16:25) through regular correspondence and a quarterly journal called The Round Table.
(16:32) They saw Great Britain as the defender of everything good (16:35) and civilized in the modern world. (16:39) Its civilizing mission was to be carried out using force, (16:43) if necessary, as the function of force is to give time (16:47) for moral ideas to take root. (16:50) Asians, for example,
were to be forced to accept civilization (16:55) on the basis that they would be better off under British rule (16:59) than under other Asians. (17:02) This did not include democracy. (17:03) They were simply to be educated to the level (17:06) where they could appreciate and cherish British ideals.
(17:11) Milner and his Round Table generally viewed the new Germany (17:15) with its economic, industrial, and commercial strength (17:19) as a great threat to their global ambitions. (17:23) Lord Lothian, a member of the inner core of the elite, (17:27) wrote in the Round Table journal in August 1911 (17:30) that there are currently two codes of international morality (17:34) British or Anglo-Saxon and Continental or German. (17:39) Both cannot prevail.
(17:41) Alliances with France and Russia were made (17:43) for the specific task of destroying Germany (17:45) through prolonged war. (17:48) These men did not fear war, (17:50) though they rarely put themselves in direct line of fire. (17:54) Cecil Rhodes had long dreamed of Anglo-American unity, (17:57) and in 1891 discussed the possibility of achieving it (18:02) through Britain joining the United States.
(18:06) After his death, the secret elite further appreciated (18:08) America's vast potential and the need for closer unification. (18:12) They adapted the original concept (18:15) from British supremacy to Anglo-Saxon supremacy, (18:19) so Rhodes' dream needed only slight modification. (18:23) They created a common ideology and worldview (18:26) among the nations of Britain and the United States, (18:29) as well as the instruments for its practice, (18:32) cooperating to pursue parallel policies.
(18:35) Alfred Milner believed that these goals should be pursued (18:38) by a secret political and economic elite (18:41) influencing journalistic, educational, and propaganda agencies behind the scenes. (18:47) The flow of money to the United States in the 19th century (18:50) contributed to industrial development, (18:52) bringing enormous benefits to millionaires, (18:54) which this flow created. (18:57) Rockefeller, Carnegie, Morgan, Vanderbilt, and their associates.
(19:03) The Rothschilds represented British interests (19:05) either directly through cover companies, (19:09) or indirectly through controlled agencies. (19:13) Small groups of enormously wealthy individuals on both sides of the Atlantic (19:17) knew each other well, and the elite in London initiated (19:21) a highly selective and secret club (19:24) called The Pilgrims, which regularly gathered them. (19:29) On July 11, 1902, at the Carlton Hotel, (19:32) the inaugural meeting was held for what would later be known as (19:38) the London Branch of the Pilgrims Society.
(19:41) It was to be a selected membership (19:43) limited by individual control to 500 people. (19:49) Under the supervision of The Pilgrims, the aim was to promote goodwill, (19:52) friendship, and eternal peace between Great Britain (19:55) and the United States, (19:57) but its highly secretive and exclusive membership (20:00) leaves no doubt as to its true purpose. (20:04) Seven months later, the American branch was formally established (20:06) on similarly exclusive principles.
(20:10) The first American directly associated (20:13) with the Round Table was George Louis Beer, (20:15) an outspoken Anglophile scholar and writer, (20:18) who for many years contributed reports and articles to their journals. (20:22) Beer called Alfred Milner the intellectual leader (20:26) of the most progressive school of imperial thought in all of Europe (20:29) and was one of the main advocates of American intervention (20:33) in World War I. (20:35) His connections with the secret elite opened many related doors (20:39) and Beer became a recognized expert on colonial matters (20:43) at the Paris Peace Conference in 1918-1919.
(20:49) In a manner typical of influential people (20:52) who are aware of their own history, (20:54) Beer and his fellow secret elite member, Lord Eustace Percy, (20:57) later drafted an outline plan for the history of the peace conference. (21:01) In other words, the secret elite ensured that the records for future generations were under their dictation. (21:07) They supported Beer’s appointment as head of the League of Nations mandate group, (21:11) and he himself was one of the founders of the Royal Institute of International Affairs (21:15) in London, today a renowned think tank (21:18) known as Chatham House.
(21:20) Its American branch, the Council on Foreign Relations, CFR, (21:25) and the sister organization the Institute of Pacific Relations. (21:29) To be clear, these were all creations of the elite. (21:33) This way, Milner's Kindergarten evolved (21:36) into numerous think tanks and foundations present worldwide.
(21:40) The dominant role of the CFR in controlling American policy (21:44) cannot be overstated, as nearly all American leaders (21:48) come from this elite group. (21:51) This includes U.S. presidents and their advisors, (21:55) cabinet members, ambassadors, (21:57) Federal Reserve board members, (21:59) directors of the largest banks and financial houses, (22:02) university presidents, and heads of major newspapers, (22:06) news services, and television networks. (22:09) It is not an exaggeration to describe the group associated with the CFR (22:12) as the invisible government of the United States.
(22:15) It mirrors how the secret elite took control (22:18) of Great Britain in the 20th century. (22:21) These organizations were direct extensions of the Round Table groups (22:23) and helped organize the agenda of the secret elite (22:27) in the 20th century and beyond. (22:30) Now, do you suspect (22:32) why events in the life of the British royal family (22:34) so captivate most media, (22:37) while the average Pole asks, who cares? (22:41) Carroll Quigley was a pioneer in exposing this group (22:45) and it is clear that it still dominates (22:47) among others, the British and American governments.
(22:50) It still controls banking and finance, (22:52) politics, the press, the military-industrial complex, (22:55) universities, and key state offices. (22:59) The grotesque plan set in motion by Rhodes and Milner (23:02) in the late 19th century continues today. (23:05) Today, its advancement is evidenced by organizations such as (23:08) the UN, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, (23:12) and many, many others.
(23:15) Can it be stopped from achieving its ultimate goal (23:18) of establishing an international world government (23:21) and one totalitarian regime? (23:24) If we give up on trying to educate the doubters, (23:28) if we give up on telling it like it is, (23:31) we the people are doomed to an Orwellian nightmare.
