The Triumph of Consciousness traces the history of globalization
during the past hundred-plus years by examining the writings and
public statements of various financial and political elites who are
determined to implement an authoritative, non-democratic, global
government. At the forefront of this movement are the
Anglo-American banking establishment, the Rockefeller Foundation,
the Ford Foundation, the Bilderberg Group, the Council on Foreign
Relations, the Trilateral Commission, the Club of Rome, and others.
By various mechanisms, these same organizations control the
environmental movement and promulgate its prevailing ethos: Earth
is overpopulated, and humans are causing potentially catastrophic
global warming. But are these postulations based on concrete,
scientific evidence? Or were they contrived to further an ulterior
agenda? Why don't the mainstream corporate media investigate these
questions? The Triumph of Consciousness addresses these issues,
while reminding readers that societal change begins when
individuals overcome their fear and apathy and embrace their
inherent strength and wisdom.
"The Verdict of the VERSAILLES TREATY that Germany and her allies
were responsible for the War, in view of the evidence now
available, is historically unsound. It should therefore be
revised." These are the words of Sidney Bradshaw Fay, noted
revisionist historian, on the concluding page of his magisterial
Origins of the World War, published in 1928. We now know more about
the Great War than merely its origins. We now know that Great
Britain's first act of war on 4 August 1914 was to cut the two
trans-Atlantic cables that connected Berlin to New York City. We
now know that America's professed neutrality in the early years of
the conflict was a hoax. We now know that the Cunard passenger
liner RMS Lusitania doubled as a munitions ship, and purposefully
steamed into harm's way in May 1915. We now know that the alleged
atrocities by the German army in Belgium were all lies. We now know
that the British organized a massive, covert propaganda apparatus
with the goal of dragging America into the war on the side of the
Allies. And we now also know that America's involvement in 1917 as
a belligerent in Europe was a tragic misstep by anglophile Woodrow
Wilson, that had profound implications not only for the United
States but for Europe as well, ensuring an even more catastrophic
reprise in 1939. Wilson himself declared, "We all know that this
was a commercial war," in September 1919. In April 1937, on the
20th anniversary of America's entry into the war, a Gallup Poll
found that 70 percent of respondents thought "it was a mistake for
the United States to have entered the Great War." Dr. George Gallup
himself declared that "this conviction has been the great master
principle of the post-war period in the United States". The lesson
is forgotten, propaganda for war repeats, and history repeats. The
majorities supporting an invasion of Iraq in 2003 turned two years
later to 60 percent opposition to the war...a lesson learned too
late again.
One of the outstanding mysteries of the twentieth century, and one
with huge political resonance, is the death of Dag Hammarskjold and
his UN team in a plane crash in central Africa in 1961. Just
minutes after midnight, his aircraft plunged into thick forest in
the British colony of Northern Rhodesia (Zambia), abruptly ending
his mission to bring peace to the Congo. Across the world, many
suspected sabotage, accusing the multi-nationals and the
governments of Britain, Belgium, the USA and South Africa of
involvement in the disaster. These suspicions have never gone
away.British High Commissioner Lord Alport was waiting at the
airport when the aircraft crashed nearby. He bizarrely insisted to
the airport management that Hammarskjold had flown elsewhere - even
though his aircraft was reported overhead. This postponed a search
for so long that the wreckage of the plane was not found for
fifteen hours. White mercenaries were at the airport that night
too, including the South African pilot Jerry Puren, whose bombing
of Congolese villages led, in his own words, to 'flaming huts
...destruction and death'. These soldiers of fortune were backed by
Sir Roy Welensky, Prime Minister of the Rhodesian Federation, who
was ready to stop at nothing to maintain white rule and thought the
United Nations was synonymous with the Nazis. The Rhodesian
government conducted an official inquiry, which blamed pilot error.
But as this book will show, it was a massive cover-up that
suppressed and dismissed a mass of crucial evidence, especially
that of African eye-witnesses. A subsequent UN inquiry was unable
to rule out foul play - but had no access to the evidence to show
how and why. Now, for the first time, this story can be told. Who
Killed Hammarskjold follows the author on her intriguing and often
frightening journey of research to Zambia, South Africa, the USA,
Sweden, Norway, Britain, France and Belgium, where she unearthed a
mass of new and hitherto secret documentary and photographic
evidence.
