THE ROUND
TABLE
Cecil Rhodes (1853-1902, South African financier, British statesman and
industrialist, who wanted to make Africa a "British dominion from the
Cape to Cairo"), with the financial support of Nathaniel Mayer
Rothschild (1840-1915) and Alfred Beit, was able to control the diamond
mines of South Africa with his DeBeers Consolidated Mines Limited, by
buying out the French Diamond Co. and then merging with the Barnato
Diamond Mining Company. He eventually controlled the production of
diamonds throughout the world. His Consolidated Gold Fields was also a
prosperous gold mining operation. He made $5 million annually.
In 1877, while still studying at Oxford (it took him 8 years because of
having to run the diamond mines), he wrote the first of seven wills, in
which each became a separate and legally binding document. It called for
the establishment of a "secret society with but one object- the
furtherance of the British Empire and the bringing of the whole
uncivilized world under British rule, for the recovery of the United
States, (and) for ... making the Anglo-Saxon race but one Empire." Frank
Aydelotte, a founding member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and
the American Secretary to the Rhodes Trustees, wrote in his book,
American Rhodes Scholarships: "In his first will Rhodes states his aim
still more specifically: 'The extension of British rule throughout the
world ... the foundation of so great a power as to hereafter render wars
impossible and promote the interests of humanity'." When he died, his
third will, drafted in 1888, called for the establishment of a trust,
run by his son-in-law Lord Rosebery, a Rothschild agent, to administer
his fortune. His seventh and last will, named Rothschild the
administrator of his estate, and established an educational grant known
as the Rhodes Scholarships at Oxford University (which was controlled by
the Fabians). The Scholarships provided a two-year program for young
men, and later, women, from the United States, United Kingdom and
Germany, to carry on the Illuminati conspiracy.

The Rhodes fortune, through the Rhodes Scholarship Fund, has been used
to promote the concept of globalism and one-world government. Up to
1953, out of 1,372 American Rhodes Scholars, 431 had positions in
teaching and educational administration, 31 were college presidents, 113
had government positions, 70 held positions in the media, and 14 were
executives in foundations.
Rhodes began developing his philosophy after hearing a speech by John
Ruskin (1819-1900) at Christ Church at Oxford University, which espoused
an opinion, which by extension, furthered the teaching found in Plato's
Republic. Plato called for "...a ruling class with a powerful army to
keep it in power and a society completely subordinate to the monolithic
authority of the rulers." Rhodes was also greatly influenced by Windom
Reade's book The Martyrdom of Man, published in 1872, which advocated
Darwinism and the tremendous suffering that man must undergo, which was
epitomized in the phrase "the survival of the fittest." The book said
that the "inevitable progress of man (was) to perfection." Rhodes
incorporated this rationalization into his thinking.
Rhodes talked about starting an organization to preserve and extend the
British Empire. He said in 1877: "It is our duty to seize every
opportunity of acquiring more territory ... more territory simply means
more of the Anglo-Saxon race, more of the best, the most human, most
honorable race the world possesses ... the absorption of the greater
portion of the world under our rule simply means the end of all wars."
It was this mentality that fueled his desire to unite the world under
one form of government. Using the Jesuits and the Masons as
organizational models, Rhodes, Rothschild agent Lord Alfred Milner
(1854-1925); other Ruskin associates at Oxford such as Arnold Toynbee,
Arthur Glazebrook, Sir George Parkin, Philip Lyttleton Gell, Sir Henry
Birchenough; and a similar group at Cambridge, led by social reformer
and journalist William T. Stead, which included, Lord Reginald Baliol
Brett, Sir John B. Seeley, Lord Albert Grey, and Edmund Garrett; joined
together to form a secret group, on February 5, 1891.
There was an Inner Circle, known as the 'Circle of Initiates,' led by
Rhodes, and included an Executive Committee with Stead, Brett, and
Milner, the chief Rhodes Trustee; and other members like Lord Arthur
Balfour (British Foreign Secretary who wrote to Rothschild promising his
support for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine), Lord
Lionel Walter Rothschild, Sir Harry Johnston, and Lord Albert Grey. The
Outer Circle was known as the 'Association of Helpers,' but was not
implemented until 1909-1913, when Milner established it as the Round
Table organization. Their goal was to eventually establish a one-world
government, which would be controlled by the international banking
community, under the cloak of socialism. They saw England, not as a
European power, but as an Atlantic power, and wanted to have a
federation of the English-speaking world, which would be controlled by
them.
In 1897, British and American elitists met in order to come up with ways
to accomplish Rhodes' plan to consolidate their respective governments,
which would pave the way for a one-world government. On July 24, 1902, a
secret organization known as the Pilgrim Society was started in London.
Six months later, an American branch was established in New York. Funded
by the Rhodes Foundation, they were instrumental in taking control of
the Democratic Party in the United States.
While he was Governor-General and High Commissioner of South Africa from
1897-1905, Milner (one of the most influential men in the political and
financial circles in England) began to recruit young men, mostly from
Oxford and Toynbee Hall, to help run his Administration. They became
known as Milner's Kindergarten. With his backing, they were able to get
jobs in influential positions in government and finance, where they
became a dominant force in England's domestic and foreign policy.
Between 1909-1913, Milner, Lionel Curtis, Philip H. Kerr (Lord Lothian),
and Sir William S. Marris used this group to establish semi-secret
discussion and lobbying groups, known as Round Table Groups, in England;
the main British dependencies, South Africa, Canada, Australia, New
Zealand, and India; and the United States. They were all controlled from
England, and maintained contact through personal correspondence,
frequent trips, and a quarterly journal begun in 1910, called The Round
Table. The membership consisted of men who not only had a vast amount of
political clout, but some who served in the highest levels of the
British government.
Though they are still generally referred to as the Illuminati, from this
point on, the Round Table would be the group responsible for
perpetuating the conspiracy to establish a one-world government. Members
of the Round Table have also been referred to as the 'Committee of 300,'
or the 'Olympians.'
Most members had private fortunes, or were known financiers, however, it
was the fortunes of Rhodes, Alfred Beit (1853-1906, the German financier
from Frankfurt), Sir Abe Bailey (1864-1940), and the Astor Family, that
formed the core of their financial support. Since 1925, substantial
contributions have come from the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust, J. P.
Morgan, the Rockefeller and Whitney families, and associates of Lazard
Brothers Bank and Morgan, Grenfell and Company (the London affiliate of
Morgan).
The Round Table controlled the London Times newspaper, which was owned
by the Astor Family, as well as publications in other countries.
Milner led the group until his death in 1925, when the leadership was
taken over by Lionel Curtis, and then by Lord Robert H. Brand
(brother-in-law of Lady Astor) until he died in 1963, when the
leadership was passed to Adam D. Marris, the son of Sir William, who was
promoted to succeed Brand as managing director of Lazard Brothers Bank.
Lionel George Curtis (1872-1955), the British High Commissioner to South
Africa and Secretary to Sir Alfred Milner, advocated British
imperialism, and the establishment of a World State. He believed that
"men should strive to build the Kingdom of Heaven here upon this earth,
and that the leadership in that task must fall first and foremost upon
the English-speaking peoples." In 1919, he established a front
organization for the Round Table, known as the Royal Institute of
International Affairs, which, after 1923, was headquartered at Chatham
House (and is sometimes referred to as the Chatham House Study Group) at
10 St. James' Square in London.
From 1919-1927, there was an Institute of International Affairs started
to cover all the Round Table Groups in the British dependencies, and the
United States (where it is known as the Council on Foreign Relations),
which was a front for J. P. Morgan and Company who controlled a small
American Round Table Group. They were funded by Sir Abe Bailey and the
Astor Family. Today you'll find the Institut des Relations
Internationales in Belgium, the Institute for International Affairs in
the Netherlands, the Institute for International Affairs in Rome, the
Norwegian Institute for Foreign Affairs, the French Institute of
International Relations, the Australian Institute of International
Affairs, and many others.
In June, 2002, the former royal butler, Paul Burrell, revealed to the
Daily Mirror in London, that Queen Elizabeth II told him: "There are
powers at work in this country about which we have no knowledge."
