THE JAMES CAMERON CONSPIRACY THEORY
(The Conspiracy Theorists Cut)



Note: this copy of the James Cameron Conspiracy Theory contains never before seen information that wasn't in the previous online version. This HTML version is divided into three 6.5 page sections for easier reading.

WARNING: The information contained within the 19.5 pages of this document will shake the core of all your belief systems. If you are prepared to read it, do so with extreme caution. You and the world will never be the same again as history itself collapses before your eyes.

Being one of the most successful movies in the world is an astounding statement from people who have seen James Cameron's "TITANIC". It is a reflection of how many people have been affected by the imagery and emotion within the film. Although there have been those who have found fault in parts of Titanic's technical side, the emotional side turned out to be perfect; or was it deliberately engineered that way? Some have called the emotion within Titanic manipulative to the point of deliberately having scenes that elate, sadden, shock and anger the audience.

This manipulation is an interesting aspect of Mr. Cameron's work. No matter what he works on or writes the emotional atmosphere is always perfect in the finished product and according to Cameron is "biographical" of his life. Born in Kapuskasing, Ontario, Canada in 1954, James Cameron grew up in Niagara Falls. He has always strived to be the best, whether his endeavors were class projects or playing soldier with his friends. According to Cameron's "official" biography, his childhood created the drive to overcome obstacles which stood in his way and would help later in life.

At this point in history, another person, who shares the surname Cameron, was at work making progress manipulating behavior and emotion for a deliberately engineered goal. The person is Dr. Donald Ewen Cameron.

Dr. Cameron began his career in psychology assisting the Office of Special Services (O.S.S.), interrogating prisoners during World War II. Among his most famous patients was Rudolf Hess, who had flown a plane to Britain in order to make a peace deal between Germany and the Allies. Hess was captured, imprisoned and was later interviewed by several psychiatrists, including Dr. Cameron. Much of Dr. Cameron's work, involved psychiatric techniques designed to modify and control a persons behavior patterns. His work was also derived from experiments performed on concentration camp prisoners in Nazi Germany and brought to the U.S. after World War II by the O.S.S. under "Operation Paper Clip".

 In the 1950's, Dr. Cameron's successful work led to his appointment as head of the American Psychological Association (APA), the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) and the World Psychological Association (WPA). By this time, the O.S.S. had changed its name under President Harry Truman's Administration to become the Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.) in 1947. Dr. Cameron was contracted by the C.I.A. to continue his work in behavior manipulation under Projects Bluebird and Artichoke which would later become MK-ULTRA in 1953.

MK-ULTRA had several sub-programs, approximately 149, ranging among the subjects of biology, drugs, sexual activities, technology, physics, psychology and even motion pictures. It's no accident that movies created in the McCarthy era of the 1950's were designed to scare the public about the threat of Communists, brainwashing or space aliens. Hollywood's motion pictures became a tool of MK-ULTRA.

In the world of psychiatry, Dr. Cameron was a relentless, merciless man driven by a need to know how to control and modify human behavior, in other words direct it. His most common experiments were drug inducement, sensory deprivation, sensory overload, as well as "psychic driving", the process of replaying his voice recorded in previous sessions with his patients. Dr. Cameron also performed prefrontal lobotomies and electro-convulsive shock treatments.

According to the CIA's charter Dr. Cameron's work, especially in creating potential "Manchurian Candidates", would have violated the ban on domestic CIA operations within the United States. With the help of the Canadian government and C.I.A. Director Allen Dulles, who was one of Cameron's colleagues in the O.S.S., Dr. Cameron relocated his work to the Allen Memorial Psychiatric Institute in Montreal, Canada in 1957 and stayed there until 1963.

On a side note, Allen Dulles would run the C.I.A. until after the Bay of Pigs fiasco, when he and General Charles Cabell (brother of Earl Cabell, the mayor of Dallas) were fired by President John F. Kennedy in 1961. After the tragedy of John F. Kennedy's assassination on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Dulles was appointed to Warren Commission by Chief Justice Earl Warren to help investigate the assassination and the background of supposed assassin or patsy, Lee Harvey Oswald.

 The Allen Institute would soon become an infamous brain butchery under Dr. Camerons control. Many patients were subjected to extreme and harsh conditions that included drug induced comas that lasted months, lobotomies, bright lights, sounds, moving images and electro-shocking that were in such excesses that it killed the patients. Other creations of Dr. Camerons butcher shop included the development of psychedelic drugs, most notably, LSD.

After Dr. Cameron left Montreal he retired to private life in the United States and vanished from the picture but his work continued on in MK-ULTRA until it was supposedly shut down by CIA Director Richard Helms in 1973.

Many of the documents from MK-ULTRA were destroyed on orders from Helms. Helms was also responsible for providing E. Howard Hunt with the information necessary for the break-in at the Watergate hotel in 1972 for the purpose of helping President Richard Nixon smear and psychologically destroy Daniel Ellsberg. Ellsberg was the Pentagon aide who had leaked the Pentagon Papers revealing Nixon's involvement in escalating the Vietnam War. The resulting Watergate scandal would eventually lead to the resignation of Nixon in 1974.

The murky world of intelligence operations became murkier as names changed to protect secrecy. MK-ULTRA simply assumed the new name MK-SEARCH and continued on into 1984.

In the late 1970's, while MK-SEARCH(MK-ULTRA) continued on the intelligence front, an unknown truck driver in California named James Cameron decided to quit his job and get into the film making business.

According to "official history", James Cameron moved to Brea, California in 1971, completed high school and attended five semesters at Fullerton College in Orange County. After dropping out of college, Cameron had convinced a consortium of dentists from Tustin, California seeking a tax writeoff to finance a short film in 35mm which he called "XenoGenesis".

The word "consortium" is interesting in itself; its dictionary term is given as "international business alliance". Since these dentists are from a local area, why are they described in this manner? If "business" is dropped from the definition, we're left with "international alliance" meaning they belong a large organization which envelops the world. The use of the word "Xenogenesis" as the name of Cameron's first film was also interesting because it meant "the birth of an alien species".

In actuality, these "dentists" were "psychiatrists" and operatives connected to the CIA's MK-ULTRA program and Dr. Donald Ewen Cameron. James Cameron and the "psychiatrists" knew each other from a fraternal organization they belonged to. This secret brotherhood helped finance Cameron's first film and would continue to help his career. He had entered this organization when he turned 21 years of age. The majority of persons in the intelligence community, including Dr. Cameron, belonged to the same organization which is commonly known as the FREEMASONS

 The Freemasons are a global fraternal organization that exist for the express purpose of enlightening those who choose to join its ranks. According to public sources, Freemasonry was created in the 1700's in Europe, but if one delves deeper into the mysteries that make up Freemasonry, it is learned that the origins of the brotherhood trace back to a highly advanced civilization named Atlantis which existed before the one we're in now. Much of the high technology, advanced thinking and philosophical ideals were handed down through the generations in secret after a "Great Flood" destroyed Atlantis.

This technology would be revealed to the people of the world once again at a prescribed moment in time. It's no accident the 20th Century is one of the most technological achieving centuries in our civilization. This century saw the creation of techniques that would be used to control the mind as we saw earlier in this document with the CIA's implementation of Dr. Cameron's mind experiments and MK-ULTRA technology. The reason the "consortium" approached James Cameron was for the opportunity to use subliminal imagery and emotional manipulation on mass numbers of people and prepare them for an engineered future.

James Cameron continued onward in his career to enter the world of Roger Corman. The studio owned by Corman was named "New World Pictures". The "New World" was short for "New World Order", a phrase that embodies the idealism of Freemasonry, a global government. The phrase would eventually be spoken in public by President George Bush(Former Director of the CIA and 33rd Degree Mason) in 1991.

Cameron worked as miniature builder, model unit Director of Photography and matte painter on a film called "Battle Beyond the Stars" . The film's title was symbolic of a belief held by many in the UFO community as well as Freemasons that an ancient battle took place in this solar system thousands of years ago. The idea was to use MK-ULTRA technology to prepare the masses to believe in extra-terrestials for the purpose of bringing humanity into the "New World Order". More of this would be used later in Cameron's film career.

Determined to get into directing, Cameron worked on another science fiction film with a symbolic name, "Galaxy of Terror". Cameron became second unit director.

In 1982, during the early years of the administration of President Ronald Reagan(33rd Degree Mason), Cameron wrote "The Terminator" along with his 2nd wife Gale Anne Hurd, who's a member of the Order of the Eastern Star, a Masonic women's organization.

The basic idea of "The Terminator" involved sending a man back through time to prevent a cyborg from killing a woman who would give birth to humanity's savior, a man who would save humanity from a world ruled by machines. The symbology of this story was taken from the Bible with the woman's situation somewhat compared to the "virgin mary" and humanity's savior paralleled to her son.

The Freemasonic symbolism in the Terminator was obvious throughout the movie. One of the first symbols was the use of "blue light" used in dark situations. This would later become one of Cameron's directing styles.

The blue light was symbolic of Cameron's ascension from the first three degrees of Freemasonry, which are known as the blue degrees, to the next level of degrees which are known as the York Rite.

One of the characters in "The Terminator" described the machines as "a new order of intelligence". You can hear the words "New World Order" in the sub-text.

The most concrete symbol was the name of the distributor for the film. Although Cameron worked with Hemdale and HBO to get the film made, the film was distributed by Orion Pictures. Orion is symbolic of Osiris, the ancient Egyptian god of enlightenment and fertility.

Osiris's counterpart was Isis, the Egyptian goddess of the Earth. Both of these ancient deities are represented by the "male" and "female" components of the "square and compass" symbol of Freemasonry. The square represents "Isis" and the compass is "Osiris". Also symbolized by Isis is the star known as Sirius. Some Freemasons believe their ancestors came from Sirius.

The purpose of Orion's release of "The Terminator" was to be the first mass use of Dr. Cameron's work in a James Cameron film. The film was designed to imprint a subliminal message to unconsciously prepare the public for a higher form of technology which would arrive on Earth in the future. Those who resist this message would be "terminated".

While Cameron was unknowingly getting financing from the "consortium" for "The Terminator" he wrote two more scripts; "Rambo: First Blood Part II" and "Aliens". The subtitle "First Blood Part II" from the Rambo sequel was symbolic of Cameron's ascension through the York Rite degrees while "Aliens" was being prepared as another step in manipulating the minds of the public with MK-ULTRA technology.

 After "The Terminator's" success, Cameron directed "Aliens" and began production in 1985 in England. The film was shot in a studio in England so Cameron could receive the rest of his York Rite degrees in the town of York while on breaks from shooting the film.

Aliens was the sequel to Alien, a 1979 movie about Earth explorers searching another planet for use as a mining colony. When they got there, they were slowly hunted down by the inhabitants of that world which were acid-blooded creatures; insect like as adults and as snake-like parasites when young that used the humans as hosts and eventually killed them by bursting out of their chests. Aliens debuted in 1986.

The film became one of the highest grossing 'R' rated films and also won Oscars for Best Visual Effects and Best Sound. It was fairly obvious to anyone with the knowledge in this document that the fear and excitement generated by the sounds and effects of the movie were the result of mind manipulation. Why? To further solidify the fact in peoples minds that humans will one day face a threat from outside this world and force them to unify as one.

Once Cameron had finished this film, he had also completed his York Rite degrees in Freemasonry and ascended to the Scottish Rite. It's aworthy to note that during this time in 1985 and 1987, 33rd Degree Mason President Ronald Reagan had made several public statements alluding to a threat from the "outside" that would unify the world.

Before Ronald Reagan had become governor of California, he and his wife Nancy had first seen a UFO over a highway near Hollywood while on their way to a casual dinner with some of their celebrity friends. The Reagans had arrived an hour late for the dinner, extremely distressed and described their experience. This would change the Reagan's view of the world forever and would influence their future actions and public statements.

These "threat from the outside statements" included a speech on December 4th, 1985 at Fallston High School in Maryland. Reagan was describing a 5 hour private discussion with Soviet Premier Gorbachev and Reagan told him(Gorbachev) to think "how easy his task and mine might be in these meetings that we held if suddenly there was a threat to this world from some other species from another planet outside in the universe. We'd forget all the little local differences that we have between our countries..."

On September 21st, 1987, in a speech before Congress, Reagan had said the following; "In our obsession with the antagonism of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world". Something was definitely going on, not only in Cameron's films but the world's governments as well.

 The next project on Cameron's list was "THE ABYSS", a film about a group of oil rig workers who help recover a sunken nuclear submarine. During this recovery they are unknowingly watched by an extra-terrestial intelligence. In the special edition of the film, it was made clear the extra-terrestials were warning the human race to come together as one or face destruction.

During the shooting of the film, Cameron had been "trained" by the "consortium" in techniques similar to Dr. Cameron's "Psychic Driving" by pushing the workers and actors on the set to the limit. According to published reports, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio was pushed to such a limit that she now avoids Cameron at all costs. To this day, Ed Harris refuses to even talk about his experience with Cameron on the set. "The Abyss" was also the first movie using the "morphing" technique that made a photo-realistic computer animation that was used to spellbound the audience. The film had also gained Oscars for Best Visual effects which was more proof of MK-ULTRA being used and now combined with computer technology.

 The film was released to the public in 1989. This was the same year as the swearing in of President George Bush and fall of the Berlin Wall in Germany. Both events were staged by the Freemasons to prepare the world for the global coming together as one. The name "Abyss" was symbolic of Cameron getting even deeper into information which is privy to the Freemasons.

In 1990 Cameron had co-written "Point Break" with his third wife and Order of the Eastern Star member, Kathryn Bigelow who directed. He became an executive producer on the film. "Point Break" was released in 1991 and went on to make $100 million and topped the video rental charts. Although the film was about a group of persons who robbed banks, a lot of subliminal imagery was added to the film which explains why the film was popular.

Lightstorm Entertainment became a new production company created by Cameron and financed by the "consortium". The name Lightstorm was allegedly symbolic of the appearance of the Terminator in the "Terminator" films but was really symbolic of Cameron receiving more intellectual light from the Freemasons. The first film that would be produced by Cameron's new company was "Terminator 2. Judgment Day", the sequel to the Terminator.

The title of "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" was symbolic of a future war to come because of technology and to prepare the public to accept a form a destruction beyond of their control.

The film also featured the use of computer technology to make a morphing character that would leave the audience with chills. The character was created at Industrial Light and Magic. "Light and Magic" are symbolic of the mysteries inside of Freemasonry.

More incidents of "psychic driving" had also taken place. One of them being an incident involving Edward Furlong, who had played John Connor in the film, and lip balm. He was coerced by an under-cover "consortium" member to use the lip balm. After shooting a scene and congratulating Furlong for his performance, Cameron noticed the lip balm on Furlong's lips and yelled at him for screwing up the scene. Later, Furlong admitted in a magazine interview that the incident left him paranoid about the rest of the shoot.

To some people outside of the "consortium" this mind control technology was becoming apparent and needed to be covered up. Cameron's script for the film was rewritten with some of the parts removed to conceal facts related to the MK-ULTRA technology. One such example of proof follows when describing Sarah Connor's treatment in the mental institution with electro-convulsive-therapy;

---------
--------- SCENE REMOVED BY THE CONSORTIUM FROM T2 SCRIPT -------- 
INT. HOSPITAL CORRIDOR 
Sarah, straight-jacketed and strapped on to GURNEY, is being wheeleddown the corridor by Douglas and the other orderlies. Silberman is right behind her with the interns. Sarah's eyes are full of suppressed rage as she stares up and back at them.

SILBERMAN (to the interns) What's fascinating about her case is that the architecture of the delusion --

SARAH Don't talk about me like I'm not here. I'm right goddamn here!

SILBERMAN We know where you are,Sarah... (continuing to the interns, as before) ..the delusion seems to have begun with the boyfriend and then been adopted by the patient. He believed he was a soldier from the next century, send to protect her from a killer machine called a "terminator".

Frustrated, Sarah begins struggling against her restraints. Douglas, blocking the action from the doctors, casually smacks her solar plexus with his baton. Sarah gasps for air. Douglas winks at her.

SILBERMAN You see, it's all about machines, for her. We're seeing more and more of this new syndrome, a sort of acute phobic reaction to technology. It's a defensive response to the dehumanization of relationships in a high-tech world.

They sweep through a set of double doors. The doors swing closed into CLOSEUP. Big block letters stenciled across them read: 

ELECTRO-CONVULSIVE THERAPY. Yes, they still do this shit to people. 
INT. E.C.T. ROOM 
Sarah's eyes go wide, clocking the sign on the door as she is wheeled in to a room full of ominous machines. Aging shock therapy equipment.

SILBERMAN Sarah, today we're going to be trying ECT...electro-convulsive therapy --

SARAH No! Don't do this. Okay, look, Silberman -- hey! Don't put that -- HEY!

She struggles vainly against the gurney straps as a NURSE tapes electrodes to her head. Silberman leans down to Sarah. The interns and the orderlies watch from near the door.

SILBERMAN Now relax, we're found this very helpful with problems like yours. Such as this feeling that you're being persecuted --

SARAH I'm not being persecuted, you fucking moron! I'm not a threat to them anymore. I told you. It's my son who's the target!

Silberman sighs. They finish placing the electrodes on her temples.

SARAH You've got to let me go so I can protect him! He's naked if they come for him now! Why won't you listen? You know how important this is? The nurse sets the dials on the machine. Sarah starts to thrash now, becoming irrational. Starts shrieking at everyone in the room. She sounds exactly like what they say she is -- a whacko

SARAH Goddamnit. Let me go!! I'll kill you, FUCKER!!

She screams incoherently as they jam the rubber biscuit down between her teeth so she won't bite through her tongue when the voltage jump starts her brain. Silberman is smooth and cheerful as he turns to the interns.

SILBERMAN ECT is coming back into favor lately, and we've had good results with it. It looks worse than it is. As soon as the current hits her brain, she's out. It's a bit like punching the restart button on a computer when the program crashes.

He nods to the nurse and the current blasts through Sarah's brain, locking every muscle in her body into a painful contortion. It triggers an epilepsy- like seizure and she bucks and flops on the gurney.

SILBERMAN She's not feeling anything right now.

TIGHT ON SARAH'S FACE, contorted, jerking spasmodically. Then... STROBOSCOPIC FLASH CUTS speeding up in rhythm, images coming at us like a roaring freight train: TERMINATOR'S STEEL HAND lunging for her in the punch press. A CHROME SKULL, eyes burning red, a demon after her soul. STEEL FINGERS closing on her throat. Then... SARAH'S FINGERS groping endlessly for the switch to the press. Then... TERMINATOR'S RED EYES filling frame. Lightning arcing all around as the press crushes the hideous machine. But even as it dies it has her by the throat. Even now, long after it's dead, it still has her by the throat. The lightning gets brighter and brighter... WHITING OUT FRAME

------------- END MISSING SCENE FROM TERMINATOR 2 ----------

Cameron's description of the ECT scene would not be tolerated by the "consortium" who had funded his films. This scene was removed in order to prevent any person's who have been unknowingly affected by MK-ULTRA technology at the movies from discovering that they've been mind controlled. This scene also made the "consortium" wonder about Cameron's loyalty to them.

In 1991 the world witnessed the Persian Gulf War that led to massive popularity of President George Bush who had proclaimed the "New World Order" after the defeat of Iraq and the liberation of Kuwait. Later that year Terminator 2 was released on the July 4th weekend. All of the revenues from the film, including the box office receipts, video, TV and merchandising made close to 1 Billion dollars. By the end of the year the global coming together got even closer with the collapse of the Soviet Union.

 While these events were taking place in the foreground, people began reporting sightings of United Nations military equipment. This equipment which included tanks, troop transports, jeeps and trucks, were shipped to military bases on railroad cars through the backwoods of the United States. Something was definitely being planned and the American people were being kept in the dark by the mainstream media.

MK-SEARCH(MK-ULTRA) technology continued in 1992 while James Cameron was taking a break from film-making. After MK-SEARCH had ended in 1984, the technology was transferred to the U.S. Navy's Research and Development. Through intensive research, Navy R&D had created a new way of controlling the mind using microwave signals modulated from 300-3000 MHz(Megahertz).

Using this technology on a mass scale would require a massive antenna array which could reflect these signals off the upper atmosphere and bounce them back to a precise location on Earth. MK-SEARCH, through Navy R&D had evolved into a new program known as the High Altitude Auroral Research Project, or HAARP.

HAARP was first used to mind control masses of people in Los Angeles during the first four months of 1992 in order to cause stress among the population and create tension. This tension needed a match to ignite a fire. The match was the Rodney King Beating Trial. On April 29th of 1992 four police officers, who were videotaped beating King the year before, were acquitted of all charges. The use of HAARP was combined with the constant replays of Rodney Kings beating on television for nearly a year would make tensions reach a point of friction.

This friction had lit the match and HAARP's mind control of the population of South Central Los Angeles was the gasoline. The result was the Los Angeles Riots which had caused the deaths of nearly 60 people. The situation had gotten so out of control that President George Bush was going to send in the army and declare martial law. If things got too bad, Bush would have used the authority of Executive Order 11490.

E.O. 11490 was originally drafted by President Richard Nixon (33rd Degree Mason) to give him the power to abolish congress, suspend the constitution, declare martial law and put the functions of the U.S. Government under the control of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Nixon had considered using E.O. 11490 during the Vietnam war to control the anti-war protesters in America.

Luckily for the American public the riots in the late 1960's and the riots in Los Angeles of 1992 were brought under control, but the options of E.O. 11490 were available for any sitting President after Nixon. HARRP had proven itself as a new tool in mind control.

This technology was being prepared for a future event. Ronald Reagan had already given us clues with his "threat from the outside speeches". More of this plan was being discovered by concerned citizens and militia types who had discovered "detention camps" being constructed all over the United States. The purpose of these camps are to imprison anyone who might interfere with this event.

The use of HAARP's mind control signals will coincide with this "event" in order to make the people of the Earth comply. Those unaffected such as libertarians, patriots, individualists, survivalists or anyone else who doesn't think the way the established media wants them to think, would be hauled off to these detention camps in cattle cars. Welcome to the New World Order.

In 1992, after watching the film "A Night to Remember", Cameron began doing research for a future project called "Titanic" which would fit into this pattern of mind-control and Freemasonic symbolism.

True Lies, which was released in 1994, became the next big film for Cameron. The title "True Lies" was symbolic of the inversion of words and meanings commonly found in Freemasonry to confuse outsiders. The best way to understand the title was to remember a phrase created by English Occultist/Freemason Aleister Crowley; "If you want to understand, learn to think backwards".

Symbols that appeared in the film varied from helicopters silhouetted against the morning sun so they appeared as "black helicopters" to symbolic names for chracters. There have been massive "black helicopter" sightings all over the United States throughout the 1990's.

The name "Trilby" was chosed by Cameron for the leader of the Omega group, a spy organization in "True Lies". "Trilby" was symbolic of the type of hats Freemasons would wear at many of their gatherings. A play based on a novel called "Trilby" was written in 1848 by a Freemason, the same year in which Freemasons were nearly driven out of the United States after the murder of Captian William Morgan who had revealed many Masonic secrets.

The name of the organization "Omega" was symbolic of the future as in "Alpha and Omega" from the Book of Revelations. "Alpha stood for the past while "Omega stood for the "future". It was an indication something is coming that would be a "True Lie".

With all this success, Cameron had gained enough momentum to move further up in the Scottish Rite degrees of Freemasonry in order to receive guidance and direction from an established Hollywood "consortium" known as the Hollywood Twelve. "Hollywood-12" was a mirror group for the U.S. government's Majestic-12. MJ-12 was created in 1947 after the crash of the extra-terrestial vehicle in Roswell, New Mexico, designed to manipulate history and to control information on extra-terrestials. HW-12 was originally created in the 1950's during the "Red Scare" and McCarthy witch-hunts that swept across America.

When the Freemasons and their "consortium" of psychiatrists first introduced the MK-ULTRA technology to Hollywood, to prepare the public for extra-terrestials and the New World Order, it was determined that a consortium would have to be built among those experienced in film making to implement this technology and keep it in the proper hands. All of this culminated to become Hollywood Twelve, made up of film studios and television networks. Among HW-12's members today are;

20th Century Fox, Universal, Paramount, Warner Brothers, Sony/Columbia Pictures, Amblin Entertainment, Disney, Orion, CBS, NBC, ABC.

It is the mission of HW-12 to use MK-ULTRA technology to it's limits in ALL entertainment mediums, including, films, television, magazines, computers and now the internet.

In 1995 "Strange Days" debuted, a film written and "produced" by Cameron and directed by his 3rd wife(now ex-wife) Kathryn Bigelow. "Strange Days", named after a "Doors" song was symbolic of the weird things which would be occurring from 1995 onward and would shape history toward the world government by the millennium.

The film was based on a type of technology called "SQUID" - Superconducting QUantum Interference Device. This device could be used to record human experiences on a CD ROM and play them back for later use. "SQUID" was an actual device created from MK-ULTRA technology as a device to record and play back memories as well as a "psychic driving" tool to cause "de-patternization" of human consciousness and multiple personalities. Dr. Donald Ewen Cameron had acheived similar results in the 1950's by repeatedly playing his recorded voice to mental patients.

A lot of the SQUID imagery in "Strange Days" was loaded with subliminal messages which were inserted by "consortium" members who had infiltrated "Digital Domain" a special effects company created by Cameron in 1993. The film itself didn't make much at the box office and it was designed that way to determine which types of subliminal images would draw people to Cameron's films.

The negative portrayal of the SQUID technology was influenced by Cameron and the "consortium" began to see him as a problem that needed to be handled. It turns out that while writing and researching Strange Days, Cameron had discovered the MK-ULTRA connection and read about Dr. Donald Ewen Cameron's brain butchery in Montreal in the 1950's. He was horrified to discover that his great artistic talents had been used in this way. Cameron would try to break away from this madness.

The next big project on Cameron's list was "TITANIC". A culmination of five years worth of research, Cameron was finally going to make a film that would be free of MK-ULTRA's influence. Since "Strange Days", Cameron had learned he had been manipulated and controlled since the beginning of his career by a group of "bad" Freemasons who work for evil purposes. In order to understand this, you have to trace the history of the Freemasons from Atlantis. The information goes off on a tangent and becomes lengthy but it is necessary to fully comprehend the rest of this document.

Thought to be legend by those outside Freemasonry, Atlantis was an island continent located in the Atlantic Ocean. Extra-terrestials from Orion and Sirius known as "originators" had created Atlantis by using thousands of spacecraft parked in Earth's orbit.

These spacecraft were equipped with graviton lasers that drilled thousands holes in the floor of the Atlantic Ocean and molded the exuding lava into the continent. After the lava had cooled, the "originators" terra firmed the new continent with artificial soil and rapidly grown plant life. Atlantis was finally populated with animals from various parts of the Earth as well as humanoid hybrids to create the Atlantean civilization.

These hybrids were crosses between the genetic material of the Neanderthal humans of Earth and the genetic material of the originators. This process of creating these hybrids was known as Xenogenesis; the birth of an alien species. Remember this was also the name of James Cameron's very first film in which he was helped by the Freemasons. This was a clue to the past as will be a clue for the future as you will see later.

The Xenogenesis in Atlantis created what we know as "homo-sapiens" or the modern human being. Humanity started with two hybrids who were named "Adam" and "Eve" and placed in a location the originators had named "Eden". For those of you debating whether "creation" or "evolution" had created humans, this shows that BOTH are true.

As a model for this XenoGenesis and Atlantis, the "origininators" had created a colony on Mars in the Cydonia region.. Remnants of this colony exist today such as the Cydonia pyramids and the Face on Mars. The originators who had the responsibility of creating "Eden" were known as "galactic originator disciples". The hybrids simply knew them by their acronym, "GOD".

Unfortunately, there was an unseen force resisting against the plans of "originators" that would compromise the original plan for "Eden". The opposition consisted of a group of evil "originators" from Sirius who had deliberately planned to take over and defeat the originators from Orion. They were labeled by the Orion originators as "destructive ecstalogical makers of nihilistic savagery" or "demons". Their leader was originally from Sirius and his name was "Satan".

Satan had caused a rebellion among the community of Orion and Sirius known as a "war in heaven". The civilization in the Sirius system was created in a similar fashion as Atlantis and Satan knew what it was like to be controlled. He had collected an army among the Sirius originators and had declared war on the Orion originators.

Satan was eventually defeated in massive battles between his army and "GOD" but there were losses with the destruction of the Cydonia colony, the surface of Mars and its atmosphere after a planet located between Mars and Jupiter exploded. This planet was known by the name "Fenex"

After the explosion, the remains of Fenex created the beginnings of the asteroid belt. A few survivors had escaped this exploded planet and migrated to Earth. They settled the civilization known as Mu in the southwestern portion of North America. The center of Mu was located where Phoenix, Arizona now sits. The name "Phoenix" which means "rebirth" was derived from "Fenex".

As for Satan, he and survivors from his army were cast down to Earth by "GOD", never to rejoin the galactic community, but they wouldn't stay defeated for long. By using technology stolen from "GOD", Satan would make himself appear in other forms including the shape of a snake. He had coerced "Eve" into eating an "apple" from the "tree of knowledge" which was bio-enginnered by "GOD".

The edible parts of this tree contained enzymes that would give the hybrids sentience (or self awareness) and advanced intelligence. After Eve had convinced Adam to eat from this "tree", the "originators" quickly banished the hybrids from the garden to fend for themselves. The descendants of Adam and Eve populated Atlantis and would have to work their way through life.

Eventually, Atlantis formed a goverment and founded ten separate republics. During it's history, a disagreement over how Atlantis was going to be managed had split the Atlanteans into two factions, the Sons of Belial, who's genetic ancestors had come from Sirius and the Law of One, who's genetic ancestors had come from Orion. The disagreement evolved into a civil war which led to the suppression of the Law of One, which emphasized spiritual existence, and the creation of a dictatorship by the Sons of Belial which emphasized materialism.

The continuing materialism of the Sons of Belial led to the creation of changes in the Earth's climate, via pollution and waste of resources which caused the sinking of the Atlantean continent. This sinking was described in many ancient texts including the book of "Genesis" in the Bible as the "Great Flood". It's noteworthy that "Genesis" was derived from the word XenoGenesis.

The story about "Noah" in "Genesis" describes how GOD had instructed him to build an ark to preserve the biogenetic diversity of Atlantis by gathering all the animals of his known world by twos and take them to other parts of the Earth. Before Atlantis disappeared beneath the ocean, the Law of One preserved the intellectual and philosophical idealism from Atlantis and stored it inside of two hollow pillars they named BOAZ and JACHIN which floated away after the flood. Boaz was the Atlantean word for "strength" while Jachin stood for "stability".

 The pillars were eventually discovered at a place we would now call the Straits of Gibraltar between Spain and Morocco. From the information found inside these pillars by travelers who were known as "sojourners", they founded the earliest remnants of Freemasonry with the precepts of "strength and stability". The information was first given to the Egyptians and passed down through different civilizations including Persia, Babylon, Greece and Rome.

After the collapse of the Roman Empire, the information was nearly lost in the Dark Ages(1300's) and the Inquisition (1500's) but was kept alive in various secret places known as lodges, the meeting houses of Freemasons. As Freemasonry evolved into the 1700's, a bitter dispute split Freemasonry into two factions, a revived Sons of Belial (also known as the Illuminati) and the Law of One. Both sides would work toward one goal, the recreation of Atlantis.

With the help of several of their members from both sides, including George Washington of the American Masons and Adam Weishaupt of the Bavarian Illuminati, they created the United States of America in 1776. Since then, both factions have two versions of the same goal. The Sons of Belial faction wants to enslave the human race in a "New World Order" while the Law of One Faction wants to create a "Pax Humana" or Human Peace.

The Sons of Belial faction are responsible for events that set back human history and creativity while The Law of One faction has been responsible for advancing the human race toward the it's ultimate goal, to rejoin the community of civilizations in the universe where humanity originally came from.

After breaking from the Sons of Belial faction of Freemasonry, James Cameron was finally approached by members of the Law of One faction to help him create one of the most emotionally moving and popular films of all time. When Cameron casted actors to fill the roles, the Law of One faction helped him find other Law of One members who would make the film a success.

 Among them were Order of Eastern Star members, Kate Winslet and Gloria Stuart for the young Rose and old Rose roles. For the Jack Dawson role, Cameron had chose Leonardo Dicaprio, who is a Freemason. He had admitted to being a Mason in a interview with RTL, a German television network. When the RTL reporter pressed for further details on the fraternity, Leo became uncomfortable and abruptly ended the interview. Why did he do this? He's been followed by members of the Son's of Belial faction and they've intimidated him into silence.

Cameron himself wouldn't remain completely free from the Sons of Belial faction for long. During part of the filming in Nova Scotia, someone had spiked clam chowder that was going to be fed to crew members with PCP. This had sickened many people, including Cameron who's eyes had become as red as the eyes of the Terminator. Everyone recovered but more events would take place. Another Son of Belial member posing as a Mexican mafia hitman had threatened Cameron's life on the Titanic set in Baja, Mexico.

 In March of 1997 while still shooting Titanic, Cameron had secretly traveled to Arizona to become a 32nd Degree Mason at the Masonic lodge in downtown Phoenix, on March 13th, 1997. While Cameron was receiving his initiation into the 32nd degree from his Law of One allies, millions of people had witnessed a large V-shaped formation of "lights" over the city of Phoenix.

It's worthy to note that Phoenix is just north of 33° North Latitude and it's ancient name was mentioned before in this document as "Fenex". 33 is very symbolic in Freemasonry since it is the highest degree attainable in the fraternity. The number of turns in a complete sequence of human DNA equals 33. This was deliberately engineered during the "XenoGenesis" as a clue to the fact that humans are an engineered species. As historical reminders, many sites sacred to the Law of One are located in the vicinity of 33° including North America's first Masonic Lodge in Charleston, South Carolina as well as the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt which are patterned after the belt stars of "Orion".

The lights over Phoenix were part of a large "extra-terrestial" spacecraft that was sent from Orion by the "originators". The occupants of the ship had warned them that destruction was on the horizon which would be caused by the Sons of Belial and their allies from Sirius. After many people outside of Freemasonry began making inquiries into the Phoenix Event, the spacecraft was deliberately dismissed in the media as "flares" on orders from the Sons of Belial.

Upon knowing the entire world was at stake, the Law of One continued to help Cameron make Titanic into a "religious experience" and to serve as a metaphorical warning to the world of the consequences of the Sons of Belial faction taking over with their "New World Order" and moving carelessly into the future with only technology.

Under the Sons of Belial, the population of the world would be coerced into slavery and finally destruction. Similar ideas of the choice between servitude or destruction have been placed in several recent Hollywood movies ranging from films like "Independence Day" to "The X-Files Movie" as warnings of the future to come.


The image of this frightening future was first embedded into the minds of the public early in the history of the 20th century with the sinking of Titanic. The Sons of Belial had deliberately sunk Titanic in 1912 to prevent the Law of One from creating world peace. Members of the Sons of Belial who had access to media outlets had deliberately pushed an agenda in the media to give "Titanic" the aura of unsinkability so they could proceed with their plans of taking over the world.

Before the voyage had begun, a Son of Belial member had met with and ordered Captain Smith to ignore any kind of warnings or advisories he might receive during the journey and go "full steam ahead" at all costs. The name of the member was J.P. Morgan.

 In the "official" history books, J.P. Morgan had backed out of his decision to sail on Titanic at the last minute because of his wife's "alleged" premonition of the sinking of the ship. This was an alibi for Morgan because he had taken out the world's most expensive insurance policy on Titanic through Lloyd's of London and his company White Star Lines. In order make sure the luxury liner's maiden voyage would be a disaster, J. Bruce Ismay was sent by Morgan to remind Captian Smith of his "orders".

Lets look at this in perspective. Why would such a tragic event be planned? You have to understand who was on the ship. Several influential persons on the ship who were from the Law of One faction of Freemasonry were in the process of creating the foundations of what would eventually become a "League of Nations" or Pax Humana. After the ship struck the iceberg died in the cold North Atlantic sea, the creation of the "League of Nations" was carried on by Law of One members who survived. It's now a fact that those who died on the ship were homicide victims at the hands of the Sons of Belial. Titanic was doomed from the beginning.

The very next year in 1913, the Sons of Belial faction of Freemasonry had created their own influential organization with the help of J.P. Morgan and his billionaire friend and Standard Oil Company owner John D. Rockefeller. The both of them would use the money from Titanic's insurance policy to create the foundations for the bureaucracy of the "New World Order" in 1913. That year the "Council on Foreign Relations" , an organization which would eventually have offshoots like the United Nations in 1948 and the "Trilateral Commission" in the 1970's, was unofficialy established. The CFR would be "officially established" by 1921.

By 1914, the Sons of Belial had influenced events which sparked World War I. The Law of One had to wait until after the end of the war in 1918 to begin laying the foundations for the "League of Nations". The war between the Law of One and the Sons of Belial would escalate through the rest of this century.

 The Wall Street Crash of 1929, the rise of the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler, World War II, the Holocaust, the creation of nuclear weapons(on 33° North Laditude at Almagordo, New Mexico), the rise of Communist China, the Korean War, the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Kennedy assassination(located on 33° North Latitude in Dallas Texas), the Gulf of Tonkin incident and the Vietnam War, and the Gulf War were caused by the Sons of Belial to wear down the Law of One. The Law of One has responded to these events in various ways including putting humans on the Moon in 1969. So far they have have prevented the world from sinking into the abyss. Here in the present, the Sons of Belial tried to destroy the Titanic movie in the media by deliberately creating bad press, but they failed in their efforts when the movie became a hit.

The number of Oscar nominations received by "Titanic" had explained the Law of One's influence on the "religious experience" side while the MK-ULTRA technology held by the Sons of Belial influenced the films subliminal imagery and created repeated viewing by audience members to the point of the film taking in 1 Billion dollars. The success of Titanic created a rewarding situation for Cameron who was now a 32nd Degree Mason. In August of 1997 he had married Linda Hamilton, who played Sarah Connor in Terminator 2 and is also a member of the Order of the Eastern Star. His success would escalate to the the Oscars.

The Academy Awards was held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on March 23rd of 1998. The building was built in 1927 by The Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, better known as the Shriners. The Shriners are an organization which admits only 32nd degree Freemasons and was founded in New York City in the 1870's by American actor William Florence.

Upon entering the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, James Cameron was inducted as 33rd Degree Freemason. Titanic had won 11 Oscars, and the categories in which it won had shown where the Law of One and the Sons of Belial had influence. When Cameron picked up the Oscar for Best Picture, he had told the audience of 1 Billion people that "we're here tonight to celebrate the magic of movies". That statement was given to expose MK-ULTRA's connections to the film industry. Cameron had also said the message of Titanic is "the unthinkable can happen, the future is unknowable, and the only thing we truly own is today and that life is precious".

This was a veiled warning about the Sons of Belials plans for our future and Cameron knows of the destruction that's coming from their "New World Order" which includes an invasion of Earth by allies of the Sons of Belial from Sirius. Finally, Cameron asked everybody to observe a moment of silence for the victims on Titanic. It was very obvious at this point that he had broken free from the grip of the Sons of Belial faction of Freemasonry and had sided with the Law of One.

The Sons of Belial and their "consortium" have made their next move by trying to corrupt James Cameron with money by giving him $100 Million dollars from the profits made by Titanic. Whether Cameron is swayed will depend on whether he stays "square" in all of his business dealings and circumscribes his passions with a moral "compass". The Sons of Belial will be waiting for him.

On an end note, anyone who tries to debunk or dismiss this document, whether they are psychiatrists, government agents, skeptics, secret society members or just plain ignoramuses who laugh at this, will forever prove the information true.

Studholm Lodge No. 1591 : Churchill, Titanic, World WarI and the House That Jack Built

Winston Churchill MP, 1901
"History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it"

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, 
KG, OM, CH, TD, DL, FRS, RA 


Winston Churchill, as the British Colonial Secretary, 
in Ottoman Damascus, 1912

"I realised afresh in preparing for this part that I hate Churchill and all his kind - I hate them vehemently.

Stalking through the corridors of endless power, what man of sanity would say of the Japanese in 1943, "We shall wipe them out - there shall not be a Japanese left upon the surface of the Earth"...."

 - Richard Burton

"... Churchill was a man who met a moment, and the moment was much shorter than he's given credit for - about six months. 

He made four speeches, all of which were derivative of Shakespeare and Macaulay. 

Everything else about his wearyingly long public life was self-serving and disastrous: he was a terrible self-publicising hack; he was a loathed soldier; he was the worst First Sea Lord we ever had. 

A staggeringly inept Home Secretary, he was wrong about absolutely everything he set his sights on. 

He was responsible for the Dardanelles, the worst disaster of the First World War. 
He sent soldiers to shoot Welsh miners. 
He put field guns on to the streets of the East End of London. 

During the General Strike, he was so rabid that he had to be kept out of government, because he wanted to machine-gun bus drivers. 

Later, he was the worst sort of empire loyalist, desperate to hold on to India, and racist about Gandhi, that naked little fakir (frankly, if you had to choose the greater man between Gandhi and Churchill, there's no contest). 

He sent the Black and Tans into Ireland. 

He'd have bankrupted the country by returning us to the gold standard; he gave away large areas of eastern Europe to Stalin. 

And he was responsible for the disgraceful but forgotten war of intervention to support the White Russians at the end of the First World War. 

Altogether, he represents everything I find most dispiriting, snobbish, philistine, proudly anti-intellectual and stubbornly backward-looking about Britain.

As someone who championed Shakespeare for the greatest Briton, I would have to vote for Cromwell as my worst - a man who closed down theatres, banned dancing and cancelled Christmas.... 

My other nomination is Churchill." - A.A. Gill


John Charles Bigham, 1st Viscount Mersey 

"The Studholme Lodge takes pride in having had no less that 17 Provincial Grand Masters elected from its members. Other prominent Brethren have included HRH the Duke of Clarence, the first honorary and later full member, the Earl of Yarborough, Lord Edward Stanley (later the 7th Earl of Derby) private secretary to Lord Roberts, Sir George Cave, 1st Viscount Cave, later to become Home Secretary, Admiral Sir Reginald Hall, Lord Hugh Cecil, younger son of the Prime Minister, Lord Salisbury and many more. 

These were Winston Churchill’s contemporaries on 24 May 1901 when he was initiated into freemasonry at the age of 27. Already a keen and dedicated politician, Winston had taken his first seat in Parliament as the Conservative member for Oldham just three months earlier. He was very junior indeed in comparison to the stature of the Freemasons who had accepted him into their midst. It explains why his name is not even mentioned as a member when W Bro T W Wedding addressed the lodge with a brief history, on the occasion of its 50th anniversary in 1926.

The lodge records give the date of his initiation, 24 May 1901 with his address as 105 Mount Street, his age, incorrectly, as 26 and his occupation as a Member of Parliament. An insight into the scene on the day is given by Charles Clive Bingham, Viscount Mersey in his autobiography published by John Murray in London in 1941 A Picture of Life 1872-1940.  On page 188 he states ‘ ….that month I was initiated as a freemason at Studholme Lodge (1591). While waiting for the ceremony I walked round and round Golden Square with Winston Churchill, another candidate...’. 

Within two months, on 19 July, Winston was passed to the second degree and on 5th March 1902 he was made a full fledged Master Mason, all the three ceremonies being conducted in the Studholme Lodge.  His raising on Tuesday 5th March was by special dispensation applied for by the Secretary, Henry James Fitzroy, the Earl of Euston, Provincial Grand Master  for Northamptonshire and Huntingdonshire, and conducted by the Master J C F Tower. At the same meeting Mr Ferdinand John St John was initiated and the Brethren dined at the Café Royal, as was customary for the lodge."

Brother Speaks to Brother.


After his retirement, Mersey remained active in public affairs, and is probably best remembered for heading the official Board of Trade inquiries into the sinking of steamships, most notably: 

The RMS Titanic [Olympic], 

the RMS Lusitania, 


and the RMS Empress of Ireland.



I quote The Enemy;

"In 1913, Mersey presided over the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea and added three more maritime inquiries to his résumé with his heading of the inquiries into the sinkings of the RMS Empress of Ireland (held in Canada in 1914) and the Falaba and RMS Lusitania in 1915. 


About the last, Mersey is among those suspected by conspiracy theorists of a coverup. His biographer Hugh Mooney writes that such suspicions are wholly conjectural, but "the conclusion of the inquiry (which blamed Germany for the tragedy without reservation) was without doubt politically convenient."

Mersey was raised in the peerage from baron to viscount in 1916."



"You have sunk my ship!"


"It is not for me to harrow your feelings – try to make peace with your Maker. We both belong to the same Brotherhood, and though that can have no influence with me this is painful beyond words to have to say what I am saying, but our Brotherhood does not encourage crime, it condemns it."



SIR RUFUS                                219

oratory but confined itself to a definition of the issues and an analysis of the evidence in regard to each. Did Miss Barrow die from arsenical poisoning ? If so, was the poison administered by Mr. or Mrs. Seddon ?

His final words were a sharp contrast in their simplicity to Marshall Hall's dramatic exhortation :

All I ask you is, when you have made up your minds, not to shrink from the conclusion to which you think you are forced by the evidence that has been given. If you are satisfied, say so, whatever the consequences. If you are not satisfied, do not hesitate to acquit either the one or both. Give effect to the results of your deliberations . . , and justice, I am satisfied, will have been done.

There were passages in the Attorney-General's final speech which seemed to indicate to the jury the possibility of convicting Seddon while acquitting his wife, and this outcome was rendered more probable by the summing up of Mr. Justice Bucknill, which was on the whole adverse to him but favourable to her.

The strain had told upon the judge, who was old and in failing health, and the summing up was more cursory and less helpful than might have been expected after a trial lasting eleven days; but after only an hour's absence the jury found Seddon guilty and Mrs. Seddon not guilty.

At once Seddon turned to his wife and gave her a resounding kiss before she was taken away, weeping hysterically, and he faced the judge to make a long and carefully prepared statement, in which once again he denied his guilt, swearing it in Masonic form "by the Great Architect of the Universe."

The judge was deeply affected, for he was himself a prominent Freemason, and his voice faltered and broke as he passed sentence of death. The spectacle of the judge's distress in addition to the poignancy which is inseparable from the last scene of a murder trial greatly moved everyone in the thronged court except Seddon himself, who appeared to regard such an exhibition of human frailty with detached contempt. When it was all over, he turned on his heel and marched from the dock with firm step and defiant eyes.

The judge paid tribute to the "remarkable fairness" with which the Attorney-General had conducted the case, and Marshall

Hall did likewise in terms of unqualified praise. But Sir Rufus had found it a most trying ordeal and was thankful when it was over, though he had no doubts of the rightness of the verdict. He was greatly interested to learn later that in his younger days in Liverpool Seddon had followed with the closest attention the


EDWARD THE CARESSER

When Edward VII married, he chose Princess Alexandra of the Danish Royal House, who had her own anti-German revanche complex because of Bismarck’s war against Denmark in 1864. Victoria remained in mourning, gazing at a marble bust of Albert. Victoria refused to appear at state occasions, so Edward had to assume these functions, for 40 years. Edward set up a household in Marlborough House in London, and began his career as a royal rake. He became the undisputed leader of British high society. Hence the Edwardian legend of the sybaritic hedonist and sex maniac whose mistresses included Lillie Langtry, Daisy Countess of Warwick, Lady Brooke, Mrs. George Keppel, and others too numerous to mention. Some of the can-can dancers painted by Toulouse- Lautrec had been Edward’s girlfriends.
There was a fling with Sarah Bernhardt, the French actress. When Bernhardt was playing in “Fedora” in Paris, Edward told her that he had always wanted to be an actor. The next night, in the scene in which Fedora comes upon the dead body of her lover, few recognized the heir to the British throne: Edward VII had made his stage debut as a cadaver.


Edward’s home at Marlborough House in London was also a center of the “Homintern.” One of Edward’s friends, Lord Arthur Somerset – known to his friends as Podge – was arrested during a police raid in one of London’s numerous homosexual brothels. A satire of Edward was written in the style of Tennyson’s “Idylls of the King.” This was called “Guelpho the Gay – the Coming K.” Some recalled a predecessor on the throne, Edward the Confessor. This future king was to go down as Edward the Caresser.
Prince Felix Yussupov was the heir to the biggest fortune in Russia. He was also considered the most beautiful transvestite in Europe. One evening Yussupov, dressed as a woman, attended the theater in Paris. He noted a portly, whiskered gentleman ogling him through an opera glass from one of the box seats. Within minutes, Yussupov received a mash note signed King Edward VII. Remember that Yussupov is the man who assassinated Rasputin, the holy man and reputed German agent, in December 1916, detonating the Russian Revolution a few months later. Here we see the great political importance of King Edward’s Homintern.


Prince Albert Victor Edward Duke of Clarence

Bertie's son, Albert Victor Christian Edward, known as Eddy, was born 8th January 1864 at Frogmore House, Windsor. Queen Victoria decided that the boy should be named Albert, after her beloved late husband, much to the dismay of his parents. At the christening the Queen, once again dressed in deepest mourning. Eddy was no stranger to scandal and gossip throughout his life, and was reputed, while at Cambridge, to have conducted relationships with both sexes. Author Michael Harrison wonders if there might have been a homosexual relationship between Eddy and James Kenneth Stephen. While there is no direct evidence to support this claim, it does remain a possibility. A poem written by Stephen under the euphemism 'Sucking Peppermints', does hint at such a relationship, though is rather vague.

See where the K in sturdy self reliance, thoughtful and placid as a brooding dove, stands firmly sucking in the cause of science, just such a peppermint as schoolboys love. Suck placid K the world will they debtor, though they eyes water and thine heart grow faint. Suck and the less thou likest it the better. Suck for our sake and utter no complaint.

Eddy, by all accounts was a slow child, considered educationally subnormal, it was reported that he could not concentrate for more than a few minutes at a time. Without any proper education he grew up to be described as a rather dull adult. In 1877, at the age of thirteen, he sailed with his younger brother George on the naval training ship Britannia, it was hoped travel might stimulate his desire for education. While George developed a natural passion for the sea and decided on a naval career, Eddy displayed no such aptitude and continued his education on land. He was tutored at Cambridge between 1883/85 by James Kenneth Stephen, who was himself also a Ripper suspect. Eddy's dandyism earned him the nickname 'collars and cuffs' on account of the high starched collars he wore to cover an unusually long thin neck. He was also, due to an hereditary condition from his mothers side of the family, partially deaf.

In an attempt to mask these insecurities and to portray his public image as being more masculine, he took up hunting and joined the Tenth Hussars Cavalry Regiment, where he gained the rank of major. Pictures from this period often depicted him in the uniform of the Tenth Hussars. It has been claimed that he was known at several homosexual establishments, and was also a regular visitor at 19 Cleveland street, which was a homosexual brothel. The release in 1975, of Public Record Office police papers, and more importantly the publication of the letters of Lord Arthur Somerset, one of the principle players in the Cleveland Street affair, clearly show a cover up had taken place, and that the prince was involved beyond a reasonable doubt in the 1889 Scandal.

Eddy was made the Duke Of Clarence and Avondale and Earl of Athlone in 1891, and in December of that year became engaged to Princess Mary Of Teck, later to become Queen Mary after marrying his younger brother George.

He died of pneumonia at Sandringham House on 14 January 1892, during the flu epidemic which swept the country, he was 28 years old. 

[AHEM so, that's terminal 'flu - and not Cerebral Syphilis... To be clear.]

The "Stab in the Back" Armistice forced upon the German General Staff followed an artificially prolonged World War I, with the Generals initially demanding of the Kaiser an immediate truce and armistice from at least early September 1918.

For reasons never publicly elaborated upon, Germany was not permitted to surrender or declare a ceasefire until November 11th 1918 - and instead of the ceasefire coming into effect immediately, or at dawn, or Noon on the 11th, it was agreed that the Great War would come to an end at 11am.

11am 11/11

11 + 11 + 11 = 33.p

On 11/11/2011, a gunman fired 11 shots from an automatic rifle at the White House.


ELEVEN


In the Prestonian lectures, eleven was a mystical number, and was the final series of steps in the winding stairs of the Fellow Craft, which were said to consist of 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. The eleven was referred to the eleven apostles after the defection of Judas, and to the eleven sons of Jacob after Joseph went into Egypt. But when the lectures were revived by Henning, the eleven was struck out. In Templar Freemasonry, however, eleven is still significant as being the constitutional number required to open a Commandery; and here it is evidently allusive of the eleven true disciples.

Winston Churchill spoke of the need to introduce compulsory labour camps for "mental defectives" in the House of Commons in February 1911. In May 1912 a Private Members' Bill entitled the "Feeble-Minded Control Bill" was introduced in the House of Commons, which called for the implementation of the Royal Commission's conclusions. It rejected sterilisation of the "feeble-minded", but had provision for registration and segregation.

One of the few voices raised against the bill was that of G.K. Chesterton who ridiculed the bill, calling it the "Feeble-Minded Bill, both for brevity and because the description is strictly accurate".

The bill was withdrawn, but a government bill introduced on 10 June 1912 replaced it, which would become the Mental Deficiency Act 1913.

The bill was passed in 1913 with only three MPs voting against it.

One of them was Josiah Wedgwood, who said of it, "It is a spirit of the Horrible Eugenic Society which is setting out to breed up the working class as though they were cattle."

The new act repealed the Idiots Act 1886 and followed the recommendations of the Royal Commission on the Care and Control of the Feeble-Minded. It established the Board of Control for Lunacy and Mental Deficiency to oversee the implementation of provisions for the care and management of four classes of people,

a) Idiots. Those so deeply defective as to be unable to guard themselves against common physical dangers.

b) Imbeciles. Whose defectiveness does not amount to idiocy, but is so pronounced that they are incapable of managing themselves or their affairs, or, in the case of children, of being taught to do so.

c) Feeble-minded persons. Whose weakness does not amount to imbecility, yet who require care, supervision, or control, for their protection or for the protection of others, or, in the case of children, are incapable of receiving benefit from the instruction in ordinary schools.

d) Moral Imbeciles. Displaying mental weakness coupled with strong vicious or criminal propensities, and on whom punishment has little or no deterrent effect.

A person deemed to be an idiot or imbecile might be placed in an institution or under guardianship if the parent or guardian so petitioned, as could a person of any of the four categories under 21 years, as could a person of any category who had been abandoned, neglected, guilty of a crime, in a state institution, habitually drunk, or unable to be schooled.

At the height of operation of the Mental Deficiency Act, 65,000 people were placed in "colonies" or in other institutional settings. The act remained in effect until it was repealed by the Mental Health Act 1959.

“LONDON, Nov. 1, 1970 (AP) – The Sunday Times expressed belief today that Jack the Ripper, infamous London murderer of nearly 100 years ago, was Edward, Duke of Clarence, grandson of Queen Victoria and older brother of George V. The Times was commenting on the statement of an eminent British surgeon who said that the Ripper ‘was the heir to power and wealth.’ The surgeon, Thomas E.A. Stowell, while claiming to know who the criminal was, refused to identify him in an article to be published tomorrow in The Criminologist…. The Sunday Times, in commenting on Dr. Stowell’s article, said there was one name that fitted his evidence. It said: ‘It is a sensational name: Edward, Duke of Clarence, grandson of Queen Victoria, brother of George V, and heir to the throne of England. All the points of Dr. Stowell’s story fit this man.’” (Spierig, p. 11)

Shortly after having published his article in The Criminologist and thus made his allegations public, Dr. Stowell wrote a letter to the London Times in which he disavowed any intention of identifying Prince Eddy or any other member of the royal family as Jack the Ripper. In this letter Stowell signed himself as “a loyalist and a Royalist.” Stowell died mysteriously one day after this letter appeared, and his family promptly burned all his papers.

An American study of the Jack the Ripper mystery was authored by the forensic psychiatrist David Abrahamsen, who sums up his own conclusions as follows: “It is an analysis of the psychological parameters that enabled me to discover that the Ripper murders were perpetrated by Prince Eddy and J.K. Stephen.” (Abrahamsen, pp. 103-104) J.K. Stephen had been chosen as a tutor for Prince Eddy, who was mentally impaired. Stephen was a homosexual. He was the son of the pathological woman-hater Fitzjames Stephen. J.K. Stephen’s uncle was Sir Leslie Stephen, the writer. There is evidence that J.K. Stephen sexually molested his cousin, best known today by her married name, Virginia Woolf, the novelist. This experience may be related to Virginia Woolf’s numerous suicide attempts.

While he was at Cambridge, Prince Eddy was a member of the Apostles secret society. Abrahamsen quotes a maxim of the Apostles: “The love of man for man is greater than that of man for woman, a philosophy known to the Apostles as the higher sodomy.” [p. 123] Prince Eddy died on Jan. 14, 1892. J.K. Stephen died in a sanitarium on Feb. 3, 1892.

Prince Eddy’s younger brother, the later George V, assumed his place in the succession, married Eddy’s former fiancée, Princess May of Teck, and became the father of the Nazi King Edward VIII. If the persistent reports are true, the great-uncle of the current queen was the homicidal maniac Jack the Ripper. Perhaps the recurring dispute about what to call the British royal house – Hanover, Windsor, Guelph, Saxe- Coburg- Gotha, etc. – could be simplified by calling it the House of Jack the Ripper.

Of the existence of a coverup there can be no doubt. One of the main saboteurs of the investigation was a certain Gen. Sir Charles Warren, the chief of the London Metropolitan Police. Warren suppressed evidence, had witnesses intimidated, and was forced to resign amidst a public outcry about Masonic conspiracy. Warren was the master of a new Freemasonic lodge that had recently been created in London. This was the Quatuor Coronati Lodge of Research, number 2076 of the Scottish rite. The Quatuor Coronati lodge had been founded in 1884 with a warrant from the Grand Master of British freemasonry, who happened to be Edward VII.





Churchill and Eugenics
By Sir Martin Gilbert CBE

Abstract: When he was Home Secretary (February 1910-October 1911) Churchill was in favor of the confinement, segregation, and sterilization of a class of persons contemporarily described as the "feeble minded." The most significant letter Churchill wrote in support of eugenics was not, however, deliberately left out of the official biography by Randolph Churchill for reasons of embarrassment, but simply through oversight. -Ted Hutchinson

The author (www.martingilbert.com) is an honorary member and trustee of The Churchill Centre, is the official biographer of Sir Winston Churchill and the author of more than eighty books, on the two World Wars, the Holocaust and 20th century history as well as Churchill.


Randolph Churchill has been accused of deliberately omitting from his narrative volumes and from the companion volumes-because he was ashamed of it-a letter from Churchill to Asquith, written in December 1910, stating that "The unnatural and increasingly rapid growth of the Feeble-Minded and Insane classes, coupled as it is with a steady restriction among all the thrifty, energetic and superior stocks, constitutes a national and race danger which it is impossible to exaggerate."

I can state without fear of contradiction that Randolph never saw this letter, of which there was no copy in the Churchill papers. Here is the story of that letter, and its context.

"The improvement of the British breed is my aim in life," Winston Churchill wrote to his cousin Ivor Guest on 19 January 1899, shortly after his twenty-fifth birthday. Churchill's view was reinforced by his experiences as a young British officer serving, and fighting, in Arab and Muslim lands, and in South Africa. Like most of his contemporaries, family and friends, he regarded races as different, racial characteristics as signs of the maturity of a society, and racial purity as endangered not only by other races but by mental weaknesses within a race. As a young politician in Britain entering Parliament in 1901, Churchill saw what were then known as the "feeble-minded" and the "insane" as a threat to the prosperity, vigour and virility of British society.

The phrase "feeble-minded" was to be defined as part of the Mental Deficiency Act 1913, of which Churchill had been one of the early drafters. The Act defined four grades of "Mental Defective" who could be confined for life, whose symptoms had to be present "from birth or from an early age." "Idiots" were defined as people "so deeply defective in mind as to be unable to guard against common physical dangers." "Imbeciles" were not idiots, but were "incapable of managing themselves or their affairs, or, in the case of children, of being taught to do so." The "feeble-minded" were neither idiots nor imbeciles, but, if adults, their condition was "so pronounced that they require care, supervision, and control for their own protection or the protection of others." If children of school age, their condition was "so pronounced that they by reason of such defectiveness appear to be personally incapable of receiving proper benefit from instruction in ordinary schools." "Moral defectives" were people who, from an early age, displayed "some permanent mental defect coupled with strong vicious or criminal propensities on which punishment had little or no effect."[1]

In 1904, as Churchill was crossing from the Conservative to the Liberal benches, A.J. Balfour's Conservative government set up a Royal Commission "On the Care and Control of the Feeble-Minded." When the commission reported in 1908 to the Liberal Government-which had come into office at the end of 1905, and of which Churchill was a Cabinet Minister-it recommended compulsory detention of the mentally "inadequate," as well as sterilisation of the "unfit," so that it would be impossible to have children and thus perpetuate what were then seen as inherited characteristics. Until that time only the criminally insane, whom the courts had judged to be a danger to themselves and others, were sent to mental asylums. Detention of the "feeble-minded"-for life-was considered by the Royal Commission to be vital to the health of the wider society.

Such detention, as well as sterilisation, were at that time the two main "cures" to "feeble-mindeness." They were put forward by the eugenicists, those who believed in "the possibility of improving the qualities of the human species or a human population by such means as discouraging reproduction by persons having genetic defects or presumed to have inheritable undesirable traits (negative eugenics) or encouraging reproduction by persons presumed to have inheritable desirable traits (positive eugenics)."[2]

In introducing its recommendations in 1908, the Royal Commission On the Care and Control of the Feeble-Minded-one of whose eight members was the chairman of the eugenics-influenced National Association for Promoting the Welfare of the Feeble-Minded-expressed its concern about "the numbers of mentally defective persons" in Britain "whose training is neglected, over whom no sufficient control is exercised and whose wayward and irresponsible lives are productive of crime and misery...and of much continuous expenditure wasteful to the community." The Royal Commisison suggested that permanent institutional care was the means to establish control over the feeble-minded. It also advocated the establishment of industrial "colonies" with schools.[3]

Churchill shared the Royal Commission's fears and supported its recommendations. The improvement of the health and well-being of the British race was a central aspect of his political and social outlook. As President of the Board of Trade, while advancing important measures of social reform, he had seen widespread poverty and demoralisation throughout Britain. In 1910, on becoming Home Secretary, he read a booklet by Dr. H.C. Sharp, The sterilisation of Degenerates. Dr Sharp was a member of the Indiana Reformatory. In 1907, while the Royal Commission was taking evidence in Britain, the State of Indiana had passed a Eugenics Law making sterilisation mandatory for those individuals in State custody who were judged mentally unfit. They were also refused the right to marry.[4] Other States passed similar laws. Between 1907 and 1981, more than 65,000 individuals were forcibly sterilised in the United States.[5]

Using a thick blue pencil, Churchill marked in Sharp's pamphlet the sections about the Indiana legislation and the operations that had been carried out on both men and women to sterilise them. In September 1910, Churchill wrote to his Home Office officials asking them to investigate putting into practice the "Indiana Law"-dominated by sterilisation, and the prevention of the marriage of the "Feeble-Minded." Churchill wrote: "I am drawn to this subject in spite of many Parliamentary misgivings....Of course it is bound to come some day." Despite the misgivings, "It must be examined." He wanted to know "what is the best surgical operation?" and what new legal powers would be needed to carry out sterilisation.

Churchill was answered by his Chief Medical Adviser of Prisons, Dr. Horatio Donkin, who described the Indiana arguments for eugenics as "The outcome of an arrogation of scientific knowledge by those who had no claim to it....It is a monument of ignorance and hopeless mental confusion."[6]

In October 1910 a deputation to the Government called for the implementation of the Royal Commission's recommendations without delay. Churchill, in his reply, recalled the fact that there were at least 120,000 "feeble-minded" persons "at large in our midst" who deserved "all that could be done for them by a Christian and scientific civilization now that they are in the world," but who should, if possible, be "segregated under proper conditions so that their curse died with them and was not transmitted to future generations."

Churchill had not given up his belief in sterilisation as well as segregation. On studying the case of Alfred Oxtoby, who had been convicted in June 1910 of bestiality and of indecently assaulting a twelve-year-old girl-and who had been described by the local police in the East Riding of Yorkshire as mentally inadequate and "over-sexed"-Churchill wrote to his advisers: "This seems to be a case where a complete cure might be at once effected by sterilisation." Churchill went on to ask: "Can this ever be done by consent?" In reply, Donkin wrote that sterilisation would not in fact remove Oxtoby's sexual drive, and that he was too insane to give informed consent. Oxtoby was sent to Broadmoor criminal lunacy asylum. Churchill asked that his case be kept under review at the Home Office in the hope that sterilisation would become possible in the near future.[7]

With Dr. Sharp's pamphlet and the Oxtoby case much in mind, Churchill decided to take the initiative with regard to the implementation of the Royal Commission's recommendations. He wrote to the Prime Minister, H.H. Asquith, in December 1910, about the "multiplication of the unfit" that constituted "a very terrible danger to the race." Until the public accepted the need for sterilisation, Churchill argued, the "feeble-minded" would have to be kept in custodial care, segregated both from the world and the opposite sex.

In his letter, Churchill told Asquith: "The unnatural and increasingly rapid growth of the Feeble-Minded and Insane classes, coupled as it is with a steady restriction among all the thrifty, energetic and superior stocks, constitutes a national and race danger which it is impossible to exaggerate. I am convinced that the multiplication of the Feeble-Minded, which is proceeding now at an artificial rate, unchecked by any of the old restraints of nature, and actually fostered by civilised conditions, is a terrible danger to the race." Concerned by the high cost of forced segregation, Churchill preferred compulsory sterilisation to confinement, describing sterilisation as a "simple surgical operation so the inferior could be permitted freely in the world without causing much inconvenience to others."

Churchill's letter to Asquith showed how much he regarded British racial health as a serious and an urgent issue. As he wrote to the Prime Minister: ‘I feel that the source from which the stream of madness is fed should be cut off and sealed up before another year has passed.'[8].

To reinforce his sense of urgency, Churchill circulated to his Cabinet colleagues the text of a lecture by Dr A.F. Treadgold, one of the expert advisers to the Royal Commission. It was entitled "The Feeble-Minded-A Social Danger." Written in 1909, the lecture gave, in the words of Churchill's covering note, "a concise, and, I am afraid not exaggerated statement of the serious problems to be faced." Churchill added: "The Government is pledged to legislation, and a Bill is being drafted to carry out the recommendations of the Royal Commission."[9]

In February 1911, Churchill spoke in the House of Commons about the need to introduce compulsory labour camps for "mental defectives." As for "tramps and wastrels," he said, "there ought to be proper Labour Colonies where they could be sent for considerable periods and made to realize their duty to the State."[10] Convicted criminals would be sent to these labour colonies if they were judged "feeble-minded" on medical grounds. It was estimated that some 20,000 convicted criminals would be included in this plan. To his Home Office advisers, with whom he was then drafting what would later become the Mental Deficiency Bill, Churchill proposed that anyone who was convicted of any second criminal offence could, on the direction of the Home Secretary, be officially declared criminally "feeble-minded," and made to undergo a medical enquiry. If the enquiry endorsed the declaration of "feeble-mindedness," the person could then be detained in a labour colony for as long as was considered a suitable period.

No legislation was introduced along these lines while Churchill was at the Home Office. In October 1911 he was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty, in charge of the Royal Navy, with new concerns and new responsibilities. On 17 May 1912, while he was at the Admiralty, a Private Members' Bill was introduced in the House of Commons, entitled the "Feeble-Minded Control Bill." This called for the implementation of the Royal Commission's conclusions. Hundreds of petitions were sent to Parliament in support of legislation. The Committee to further the Bill was headed by the two Anglican primates, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York. H.G. Wells was a supporter of the Bill. G.K. Chesterton led a public campaign against the Bill. Dean Inge, the Dean of St Paul's, complained that eugenics was so logical it was only opposed by "irrationalist prophets like Mr. Chesterton." In his public lectures and published articles W.G. Chesterton ridiculed what he called "the Feeble-Minded Bill.'"

The Feeble-Minded Control Bill rejected compulsory sterilisation, but made it a punishable misdemeanour to marry or attempt to marry a mental defective, or to solemnise, procure or connive at such a marriage. It provided for registration and segregation. And it gave the Home Secretary the power to commit any person who fell outside the definition of feeble-mindedness but whose circumstances appeared to warrant his inclusion.

On its first reading, the Bill had only thirty-eight opponents. But the Liberal newspapers opposed it vigorously, and Josiah Wedgwood, a Liberal Member of Parliament, denounced it as a "monstrous violation" of individual rights. Roman Catholics leaders denounced it as "contrary to Christian morals and elementary human rights." When Wedgwood spoke in the House of Commons against it, he called it "legislation for the sake of a scientific creed which in ten years may be discredited."

The Private Members Bill was withdrawn, but the Liberal Government, conscious of the strength of public feeling in favour of a measure based on the Royal Commission's conclusions, decided to introduce its own "Mental Deficiency Bill," for the compulsory detention of the "feeble-minded." This Government Bill was introduced to Parliament on 10 June 1912. In urging the passage of the new Bill, Churchill's successor as Home Secretary, Reginald McKenna, said: "I commend it to the House in the confident assurance that if it is passed into law we shall be taking a great step towards removing one of the worst evils in our time."

In his summing up, Josiah Wedgwood said: "I urge that the Government should, if this legislation goes through, see that all the homes in which defectives are looked after are homes run by the Government, and not for private profit, where the inspection is of the best and where the treatment is of the very highest character, and that the earliest possible term should be set to this licensing of private homes where private profit is likely to be the main cause of the existence of the home, and where, to a large extent, employment will be carried on under extremely undesirable conditions by people who are absolutely unable to protect themselves."[11]

Between 24 and 30 July 1912, a month after the Second Reading of the Mental Deficiency Bill in Parliament, the first international Eugenics Conference was held in London, and was attended by four hundred delegates. Churchill was a Vice-President of the Congress, and Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, was one of its directors, as was Charles Eliot, a former President of Harvard, and the Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford, Sir William Osler. The Canadian-born Osler, who had been created a baronet the previous year, was one of the world's most prominent practitioners of clinical medicine.

The Congress opened with a reception and a banquet that was addressed by the former Prime Minister, A.J. Balfour. A programme of entertainment was provided by a committee headed by the Duchess of Marlborough (the American heiress Consuelo Vanderbilt, who was married to Churchill's cousin the Ninth Duke of Marlborough). Churchill did not attend.

The Congress on Eugenics led to renewed public pressure for Britain to adopt eugenics laws. In October 1912, Churchill discussed the proposed laws with Wilfrid Scawen Blunt, who wrote in his diary: "Winston is also a strong eugenist. He told us he had himself drafted the Bill which is to give power of shutting up people of weak intellect and so prevent their breeding. He thought it might be arranged to sterilise them. It was possible by the use of Roentgen rays, both for men and women, though for women some operation might also be necessary. He thought that if shut up with no prospect of release without it many would ask to be sterilised as a condition of having their liberty restored. He went on to say that the mentally deficient were as much more prolific than those normally constituted as eight to five. Without something of the sort the race must decay. It was rapidly decaying, but could be stopped by such means."[12]

The views of the eugenists were much influenced by the American psychologist Henry H. Goddard, who asserted that "feeble-mindedness" was a hereditary trait, almost certainly caused by a single recessive gene. His view was widely spread in 1912 with the publication of his book The Kallikat Family: A Study in the Heredity of Feeble-Mindedness, about those in the general population who carried the recessive trait despite outward appearances of normality. Goddard, the creator of the term "moron," was the director of the Vineland Training School-originally the Vineland Training School for Backward and Feeble-minded Children-in New Jersey. In his book, Goddard recommended segregating the "feeble minded" in institutions like his own, where they would be taught various forms of menial labour.[13]

The Mental Deficiency Bill passed its third reading in the House of Commons in 1913, with only three votes being cast against it. The new law rejected sterilisation, which Churchill had earlier advocated, in favour of confinement. On 16 November 1914, in describing the working of the Act during the previous year, Reginald McKenna told the House of Commons: "Institutions and homes provided by religious and philanthropic associations, and by individuals, have come forward in considerable numbers, and the Board has certified or approved of thirty-one of them, making provision for 2,533 cases. In addition to these there are the nine hospitals and institutions formerly registered under the Idiots Act which have become certified institutions or houses under the Mental Deficiency Act, and continue to provide accommodation for many hundreds of defectives. Nine local authorities have entered into contracts with one or other of these institutions for the reception of defectives from their area; five of these contracts cover a number exceeding eighty, and in the remaining four the numbers to be received are not specified."[14]

The concept of hereditary mental illness that could be halted by sterilisation remained widespread for many years. In 1927, in the United States, in the case of Buck versus Bell, the distinguished Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, then in his twenty-fifth year on the Supreme Court, closed the 8-1 majority opinion upholding the sterilisation of Carrie Buck-who along with her mother and daughter had been labelled "feeble-minded"-with the six words: "Three generations of imbeciles are enough."

In 1928 the Canadian Province of Alberta passed legislation-the Sexual Sterilisation Act of Alberta-that enabled the provincial government to perform involuntary sterilisations on individuals classified as "mentally deficient." In order to implement the 1928 act, a four-person Alberta Eugenics Board was created to approve sterilisation procedures. In 1972, the Sexual sterilisation Act was repealed, and the Eugenics Board dismantled. During the forty-three years of the Eugenics Board, 2832 sterilisation procedures were performed.[15]

Britain never legislated for sterilisation or carried it out. Detention in institutions was the chosen path since the Mental Deficiency Act 1913. That act continued in force for almost half a century. The 1959 Mental Health Act, introduced by Harold Macmillan's Conservative Government, was described in its preamble as "An Act to repeal the Lunacy and Mental Treatment Acts 1890 to 1930, and the Mental Deficiency Acts, 1913 to 1938, and to make fresh provision with respect to the treatment and care of mentally disordered persons and with respect to their property and affairs; and for purposes connected with the matters aforesaid."[16]

A year later the Mental Health (Scotland) Act 
repealed the Lunacy (Scotland) Acts 1857 to 1913, and the Mental Deficiency (Scotland) Acts, 1913 and to 1940 "to make fresh provision with respect to the reception, care and treatment of persons suffering, or appearing to be suffering, from mental disorder, and with respect to their property and affairs; and for purposes connected with the matters aforesaid."[17]

Detention, not sterilisation, had been the chosen legislative path in Britain between 1913 and 1959. But with the advances in medical science and medical ethics, fewer and fewer categories of "persons suffering... rom mental disorder" were considered needy of detention. Causes such as food and nutritional deficiency, poverty and deprivation, abuse and neglect, were identified as among the reasons-and early diagnosis, medication, therapy, community care and family support systems as the methods of treatment-of what was considered, at the time of Churchill's support for eugenics before the First World War, as hereditary "feeble-mindedness" with no cure.

[4] sterilisations were halted in Indiana in 1909 by Governor Thomas R. Marshall, but it was not until 1921 that the Indiana Supreme Court ruled that the 1907 law was unconstitutional, as it was a denial of due process under the Fourteenth Amendment. A 1927 law provided for appeals in the courts. In all, approximately 2,500 people were sterilised while in State custody. Governor Otis R. Bowen approved repeal of all sterilisation laws in 1974. By 1977 the related restrictive marriage laws were repealed.

[5] Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Iceland, Norway and Sweden and Switzerland have at different times used sterilisation for the mentally ill. The number of sterilisations in Sweden was 62,000. The most notorious sterilisation legislation was promulgated in Nazi Germany in July 1933, under which more than 150,000 Germans, including many children and babies, judged ‘mentally unfit' were sterilised, and an equal number killed by gas or lethal injection between 1933 and 1940.

No one, least of all the British, should be surprised at the state of anarchy in Iraq. We have been here before. We know the territory, its long and miasmic history, the all-but-impossible diplomatic balance to be struck between the cultures and ambitions of Arabs, Kurds, Shia and Sunni, of Assyrians, Turks, Americans, French, Russians and of our own desire to keep an economic and strategic presence there.

Laid waste, a chaotic post-invasion Iraq may now well be policed by old and new imperial masters promising liberty, democracy and unwanted exiled leaders, in return for oil, trade and submission. Only the last of these promises is certain. The peoples of Iraq, even those who have cheered passing troops, have every reason to mistrust foreign invaders. They have been lied to far too often, bombed and slaughtered promiscuously.

Iraq is the product of a lying empire. The British carved it duplicitously from ancient history, thwarted Arab hopes, Ottoman loss, the dunes of Mesopotamia and the mountains of Kurdistan at the end of the first world war. Unsurprisingly, anarchy and insurrection were there from the start.

The British responded with gas attacks by the army in the south, bombing by the fledgling RAF in both north and south. When Iraqi tribes stood up for themselves, we unleashed the flying dogs of war to "police" them. Terror bombing, night bombing, heavy bombers, delayed action bombs (particularly lethal against children) were all developed during raids on mud, stone and reed villages during Britain's League of Nations' mandate. The mandate ended in 1932; the semi-colonial monarchy in 1958. But during the period of direct British rule, Iraq proved a useful testing ground for newly forged weapons of both limited and mass destruction, as well as new techniques for controlling imperial outposts and vassal states.

The RAF was first ordered to Iraq to quell Arab and Kurdish and Arab uprisings, to protect recently discovered oil reserves, to guard Jewish settlers in Palestine and to keep Turkey at bay. Some mission, yet it had already proved itself an effective imperial police force in both Afghanistan and Somaliland (today's Somalia) in 1919-20. British and US forces have been back regularly to bomb these hubs of recalcitrance ever since.

Winston Churchill, secretary of state for war and air, estimated that without the RAF, somewhere between 25,000 British and 80,000 Indian troops would be needed to control Iraq. Reliance on the airforce promised to cut these numbers to just 4,000 and 10,000. Churchill's confidence was soon repaid.

An uprising of more than 100,000 armed tribesmen against the British occupation swept through Iraq in the summer of 1920. In went the RAF. It flew missions totalling 4,008 hours, dropped 97 tons of bombs and fired 183,861 rounds for the loss of nine men killed, seven wounded and 11 aircraft destroyed behind rebel lines. The rebellion was thwarted, with nearly 9,000 Iraqis killed. Even so, concern was expressed in Westminster: the operation had cost more than the entire British-funded Arab rising against the Ottoman Empire in 1917-18.

The RAF was vindicated as British military expenditure in Iraq fell from £23m in 1921 to less than £4m five years later. This was despite the fact that the number of bombing raids increased after 1923 when Squadron Leader Arthur Harris - the future hammer of Hamburg and Dresden, whose statue stands in Fleet Street in London today - took command of 45 Squadron. Adding bomb-racks to Vickers Vernon troop car riers, Harris more or less invented the heavy bomber as well as night "terror" raids. Harris did not use gas himself - though the RAF had employed mustard gas against Bolshevik troops in 1919, while the army had gassed Iraqi rebels in 1920 "with excellent moral effect".

Churchill was particularly keen on chemical weapons, suggesting they be used "against recalcitrant Arabs as an experiment". He dismissed objections as "unreasonable". "I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes _ [to] spread a lively terror _" In today's terms, "the Arab" needed to be shocked and awed. A good gassing might well do the job.

Conventional raids, however, proved to be an effective deterrent. They brought Sheikh Mahmoud, the most persistent of Kurdish rebels, to heel, at little cost. Writing in 1921, Wing Commander J A Chamier suggested that the best way to demoralise local people was to concentrate bombing on the "most inaccessible village of the most prominent tribe which it is desired to punish. All available aircraft must be collected the attack with bombs and machine guns must be relentless and unremitting and carried on continuously by day and night, on houses, inhabitants, crops and cattle."

"The Arab and Kurd now know", reported Squadron Leader Harris after several such raids, "what real bombing means within 45 minutes a full-sized village can be practically wiped out, and a third of its inhabitants killed or injured, by four or five machines which offer them no real target, no opportunity for glory as warriors, no effective means of escape."

In his memoir of the crushing of the 1920 Iraqi uprising, Lieutenant-General Sir Aylmer L Haldane, quotes his own orders for the punishment of any Iraqi found in possession of weapons "with the utmost severity": "The village where he resides will be destroyed _ pressure will be brought on the inhabitants by cutting off water power the area being cleared of the necessaries of life". He added the warning: "Burning a village properly takes a long time, an hour or more according to size".

Punitive British bombing continued throughout the 1920s. An eyewitness account by Saleh 'Umar al Jabrim describes a raid in February 1923 on a village in southern Iraq, where bedouin were celebrating 12 weddings. After a visit from the RAF, a woman, two boys, a girl and four camels were left dead. There were many wounded. Perhaps to please his British interrogators, Saleh declared: "These casualties are from God and no one is to be blamed."

One RAF officer, Air Commodore Lionel Charlton, resigned in 1924 when he visited a hospital after such a raid and faced armless and legless civilian victims. Others held less generous views of those under their control. "Woe betide any native [working for the RAF] who was caught in the act of thieving any article of clothing that may be hanging out to dry", wrote Aircraftsman 2nd class, H Howe, based at RAF Hunaidi, Baghdad. "It was the practice to take the offending native into the squadron gymnasium. Here he would be placed in the boxing ring, used as a punch bag by members of the boxing team, and after he had received severe punishment, and was in a very sorry condition, he would be expelled for good, minus his job."

At the time of the Arab revolt in Palestine in the late 1930s, Air Commodore Harris, as he then was, declared that "the only thing the Arab understands is the heavy hand, and sooner or later it will have to be applied". As in 1921, so in 2003.



Mers el Kebir Memorial at Toulon, France
In English the text reads "1297 Sailors died for France on the 3rd and 6th of July 1940 at Mers-El-Kabir"

BRITISH ULTIMATUM TO THE FREE FRENCH FLEET

It is impossible for us, your comrades up to now, to allow your fine ships to fall into the power of the German enemy. We are determined to fight on until the end, and if we win, as we think we shall, we shall never forget that France was our Ally, that our interests are the same as hers, and that our common enemy is Germany. Should we conquer we solemnly declare that we shall restore the greatness and territory of France. For this purpose we must make sure that the best ships of the French Navy are not used against us by the common foe. In these circumstances, His Majesty's Government have instructed me to demand that the French Fleet now at Mers el Kebir and Oran shall act in accordance with one of the following alternatives;

(a) Sail with us and continue the fight until victory against the Germans.

(b) Sail with reduced crews under our control to a British port. The reduced crews would be repatriated at the earliest moment.

If either of these courses is adopted by you we will restore your ships to France at the conclusion of the war or pay full compensation if they are damaged meanwhile.

(c) Alternatively if you feel bound to stipulate that your ships should not be used against the Germans lest they break the Armistice, then sail them with us with reduced crews to some French port in the West Indies — Martinique for instance – where they can be demilitarised to our satisfaction, or perhaps be entrusted to the United States and remain safe until the end of the war, the crews being repatriated.

If you refuse these fair offers, I must with profound regret, require you to sink your ships within 6 hours.

Finally, failing the above, I have the orders from His Majesty's Government to use whatever force may be necessary to prevent your ships from falling into German hands.
