Alastair Crooke (@AWCrooke) describes a long-running project to establish a single Western-led world order, one that requires severing people from family, community, and national sovereignty. He traces its modern form through the neoconservative movement and Zionism, and argues that the wars in Ukraine, Iran, and Yemen are not separate conflicts, but instruments of the same design. Alastair Crooke: “And it’s a design for world government. And it would be led by Western civilization. When Rubio spoke in Athens, he said what we have to do is we have to get back. The West has to dominate. It has to be the civilization that sets the rules, that sets the template for a world order. All the values we thought we had, law, morality, all of these things, rectitude in business, all just eliminated. But nonetheless, it goes on, the idea that it’s inconceivable that there could be a world in which the West does not give it its orders. It started off partly with the Enlightenment. It started off with the founding of the Illuminati. It started off with Sabbatai Zevi. It started off with Freemasonry. It started off with the Hellfire Clubs. All of these movements and others converged together on the idea of a single government. We had to move away from the connections people had with family, with their community, with their country, and sever all of those things. It was very clear. Rousseau made this very clear in the Enlightenment: we had to do away with religion. We had to do away with connections to family, those things that held us in their sway, with community, with all of those organizations. We had to do away with those and become one element in this. And he said our religion is now going to be that of mechanical reasoning. Eventually, partly in the 1890s, it moved to America and became the neocon movement. It moved to Europe. It moved to the Middle East as Zionism. All these wars we’re facing, apparently separate, distinct individual wars, Ukraine, Iran, in Yemen, are actually part of a single structure, a single attempt. The grand design wishes to use these to impose that one world order. Why on Iran? Why on Russia? Because they were civilizational states. But because the West was in the leadership in business and in money affairs, it would be run by the oligarchs combined with the political leadership of that time to control us all.” Judge Napolitano: “As you point out in this article, as far back as 1846, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Benjamin Disraeli, said the world is governed by hidden forces, and nothing’s changed.” Alastair Crooke: “Exactly. Exactly. And nothing has changed. And he made this warning several times to Parliament and said there are movements that are coalescing together that intend to impose this on us, and of course they have huge resources. The only thing that’s changed since that time was, you remember, at that time, in the sort of early 19th century, around about Disraeli’s time, the family financial structures of Europe became impossibly rich. They made fortunes out of the war against Napoleon. They made fortunes out of supporting the war in America on both sides. They financed the war of Japan against Russia. All of these things were there, and they made lots of money. They were more powerful than the state. The Round Table by Lord Milner, was established about that time and effectively wrote the Balfour Declaration establishing Israel. It wasn’t written by the government, but by Balfour. He had nothing to do with it. It was this group of extremely wealthy people who had access to intelligence and to the defense system, who were operating above the government and dictating the government’s foreign policy. And all of this is part of the grand design, if you like, to weaken those forces that are opposed to Western domination, a Western world government, with the ultimate aim being, of course, China.” The alternative to oligarchical rule is a world of sovereign nations cooperating for peace, scientific progress, and economic development. No nation has the right to dictate humanity’s future. The choice is between perpetual geopolitical confrontation and a new order based on mutual development.
