HOW The Present WORLD PLUTOCRACY AROSE
The Deep State is both the error and the hope of the biosphere. Its exploits are a matter of life and death, past and present.
The US Deep State is the establishment, a mix of public-private, politico-financial, universities, think tanks, corporations, entangled with institutions such as the Army, Navy, Marines, and traditions such as killing all the Indians through devious, patient means… The US Deep State has been the world’s greatest power for well over a century, since it seized control of the Americas, defeated the Spanish Empire, and blossomed with robbers barons, such as Carnegie, Rockefellers, Harrimans, JP Morgan, Ford, and they imprinted the mood of dominance by plutocrats who called themselves “lovers of man” (philanthropists). This robust, secretive, conspirational imperial organization founded and funded the modern entangled US ideological, military, economic, political, academic and financial systems.
The US Deep State organized the Twentieth Century world.. And beyond. Even dictators such as Putin and Xi were enabled by the Deep State (Xi went to San Francisco in 2023, hat in hand, because US sanctions against his regime are unbearable; Biden shamed Xi by calling him repeatedly a “dictator”… which Xi is, and is supposed to be, according to Marxist doctrine).
The US Deep State arose so blatantly that Putin’s goons point it out (Putin’s goons are always right when they repeat what I have long said…): “One of [the US Deep State] investments led to World War II and the Holocaust,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, alluding to Nazi Germany.
Zakharova listed various US-based people, legal persons, companies and banks, among them Henry Ford, General Motors, Kodak, Coca-Cola, Standard Oil, IBM and JPMorgan Chase & Co, claiming that they sponsored or assisted Nazi Germany during World War II… She forgot US universities, which were crucial… because most of the plutocrats or their enablers have been educated by them into the correct way of thinking… deeply.
The Nazis were inspired by the genocide of American Indians, and duplicated US methods all the way into 1945 (March of Tears, etc.). White Americans “gunned down millions of redskins” noted with approval Hitler in 1928. “Concentration camps were not invented in Germany,” Hitler said in 1941. “It is the English who are their inventors, using this institution to gradually break the backs of other nations.” The British had operated camps in South Africa, the Nazis pointed out… While the Nazis carefully omitted that the Kaiserreich conducted a genocide in Namibia… Much worse than what the British did to the Boers… Although the US Deep State committed genocide against the Natives, the methods, after paying for scalps in the Seventeenth Century, became patient and subtle.
US ways were a mind fest for the Nazis. Early on, the Nazi regime celebrated Harvard University by sending the cruiser Karlsruhe to Boston in 1934. No less. The crew was received by the University, the captain made an extreme Hitlerian speech, the Harvard Crimson asked for top Nazis to get honorary degrees… (Karlsruhe was sunk off Norway by a British sub in April 1940… while the US was in full peace and business mode with Hitler)
All this was not just because the Nazis adopted Harvard’s song, or influential Nazis were tied to Harvard. The communion of thinking went deeper than that. Nazi minister and influential Hitler adviser Hanfstangl was asked by a rabbi what he meant when he recently remarked that “everything would soon be settled for the Jews in Germany.” The Harvard graduate replied that he was here on vacation, meeting with old friends. Jews couldn’t be citizens in early, pre-US America. Laws prevented non-Christians (or even Catholics!) from holding public office and voting. The U.S. Bill of Rights in 1791 removed barriers but some US states rescinded barriers against Jews rather late: Rhode Island (1842), North Carolina (1868), and New Hampshire (1877)…
In 1933, Columbia University president Butler had invited Nazi Germany’s ambassador to the United States, Hans Luther, to speak on campus, and hosted a reception for him. Luther represented “the government of a friendly people… entitled to be received … with the greatest courtesy and respect.” Butler insisted.
On a more serious note, when FDR’s ambassador to Berlin, his friend Dodd, an historian of the Confederacy, told Roosevelt in 1937, that no negotiations were possible with the Nazis and the US should ally itself with France against Hitler, Roosevelt reacted by replacing Dodd with a pro-Nazi. FDR did the same in Britain.
Related question: Why Did France Occupy Germany After 1945?
France was an occupying power of Germany after 1945, because the French Republic had declared war on the Nazis’ genocidal and invasive tyranny on September 3, 1939. France had tried to enlist the help of Washington since 1933 to confront the Nazis and Imperial Japan. But France failed spectacularly. Washington reacted to the idea of war against Nazism with strong official dislike for France. Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s obsession was to grab New Caledonia away from France, to make the Pacific a US lake… don’t think this has abated, the US Deep State has a long memory! Let alone making the entire French empire a province of the US corporations… Also the British empire could be indebted to the US, just as Franco’s Spain…
Whereas France opposed the Nazi regime at each occasion, the USA, arguing it was isolated, didn’t declare war to Hitler. . Instead, 4 days after Pearl Harbor, Hitler went to the Reichstag and declared war to the USA, December 11, 1941. That Hitler had invaded Europe and engage in genocide against Poles and then Jews, had let the US Deep State indifferent. It no doubt helped that the Nazis hated black people… and forced the sterilization of thousands of children from the union of German women with French soldiers of African descent.
In the 1930s, the top German generals and admirals asked the UK and US to support them in a coup against Hitler. Instead the US and UK warned Hitler. The treacherous attitude of the US Deep State, long collaborating with the Nazis in diverse guises, is a question waiting for an official answer. “Isolationism” is not the answer, it’s an hypocrisy…. as the US plutocratic class massively invested in Nazi Germany and Italian and Spanish fascism, and kept the Japanese Imperial army fueled as it invaded Asia… for a full decade!
After freeing the south of France and its ports, in 1944, the French army, crossing the Rhine under fire, invaded Germany with one million soldiers in 1945. The Allied invasion of The Third Reich from the west would have been much harder, without the French army.
In 1945, France had been at war with the Nazis for nearly six years, and the Nazis lost the war launched by France… and which France finally won, thanks to France’s belated US ally.
The hypocritically deplored “cease-fire” of summer 1940 between France and the Nazis, the Italian fascists, and their Japanese and Soviet allies lasted less than two years. As soon as 1943, (some) French soil was liberated (Corsica).
France won World War Two thanks to, and because of her backstabbing US ally and rogue child. There is no doubt that racism in the USA made the Nazis sentimentally close much of American public opinion. Hitler said as much.
The Nazi tyranny lost the war with the French Republic so deeply that, decades after their demise, under French influence, Germany allowed in its nationality code, the right of the soil: a child born in Germany became a German citizen, as was the case in France (that right was given in the USA only after 1866…) … Switzerland followed Germany a few years ago…

Is further progress of civilization in sight in Europe?
A simple way would be for Europe to understand why the USA, which, to a great extent, arose from the French and British mentality, refused to help France and Britain in a TIMELY manner in the Twentieth Century. And did this twice: in 1914-1917, and then 1933-1942.
Europe has to understand that Nazism was greatly facilitated by the US Deep State. Trump wants, he says, to destroy the US Deep State, and is no doubt popular because many US voters want to destroy the US Deep State. Instead of just raging against Trump, the Europeans would be well advised to meditate on how the US Deep State was allied de facto, with the fascist regimes as World War two gathered pace. For example the US universities, which are much esteemed and influential, developed the ideology to ally the US Deep State with the fascists, including Stalin, Mao and Ho Chi Minh. Are they doing something similar now?
To this day, the Europeans believe FDR’s voluble and misleading mouth… instead of looking at what FDR really did: a de facto economic, plutocratic and diplomatic alliance with the fascists all the way until 1941. Even the French junta called Vichy was beloved and supported by FDR.
Understanding what truly happened, and that Hitler and Stalin were weaponized by the US Deep State may suggest that instead of depending upon the gifts of the US Deep State, in an addictive manner, Europe would be better off freeing itself from this addiction.
In the 1930s, the US Deep State wanted the world, and the best way to do that was to instrumentalize the fascist regimes against Western European “democracies”. And so it was done, all the way to Yalta, in Crimea, when a dying FDR gave half of Europe in trust to his ally Stalin…
This was the truth, this was life and this was therefore the way… Who said that, somewhat paraphrased in a semantic salad mix? Jesus! (In John…), the same Jesus the US loved to quote so much throughout the Twentieth Century…
Watson chairman and CEO of IBM, sitting with Hitler for breakfast, in 1937, apparently somberly planning how to exterminate all Jews, before receiving a top medal for “service to the Reich:”. Watson, head of the US Chamber of Commerce, and tight with Franklin Roosevelt, was a prominent member of the “peace camp” to ensure that his German company could remain operative. Although he returned the medal in 1940, Watson had made his collaboration with Hitler lethal on the most massive scale. Watson made possible the Nazis’ modern efficiency, thanks to its leased machines, including to organize trains and extermination camps. Watson micro managed the Nazi Reich from New York and later through Switzerland, and smoothly transferred his services to the Allies after the Nazis surrendered…. providing automatic translation during the Nuremberg trials of IBM’s own German Nazi collaborators… US Nazis like Watson, their corporations and entitled descendants, were never bothered, to this day. Many of them preach in the media the scavenging business religion of their ancestors.
Deep State in all that? The allied bomber crews were given very detailed instructions to not hit IBM factories in Germany. There were 35 IBM factories in Germany, producing millions of punch cards a week. None of them stopped working.
IBM was a crucial part of the Nazi system, but other US corporations also played a crucial role. Standard Oil (Exxon) transferred secretly the most efficient technology to make oil from coal… That enabled Germany to keep on fighting its ex allies, the USA and the USSR… which had provided its oil for various invasions of most of Western Europe, including Spain and France…
It is well known that the USA organized the world during, and after World War Two. It is not known, and rejected with horror that, at the very least, the USA was the worldwide catalyst of World War Two… And this work started in 1914, showing how the spirit of the Monroe doctrine of the early Nineteenth Century (“The America are ours”) was generalized to “the world is ours”….
However, there is nothing wrong with world government… As long as it is not a world plutocracy.
But what we have is a world plutocracy. That is not an optimal future: this is what science fiction nightmares are made from! Plutocracy is wrong, not just from its intrinsic inequity and inequality. It is not just a question of being led by just a few thousands, and their selfish stupidity. It is a question that, to rule in a way adverse to the deepest nature of humanity, one must rule with evil means… And that’s why it’s called pluto-cracy, pluto-kratia, evil rule…
But a world plutocracy is what the US Deep State has amounted to. Hence most of today’s world tensions.
