Lord Milner’s Second War: The Rhodes-Milner Secret Society; The Origin of World War I; and the Start of the New World Order by Mr John P. Cafferky (2013-01-03)
BACK COVER
Why did European diplomacy fail to avert World War I? Revisionist historians have long suspected that the President of France and the Russian Ambassador to France cooperated in bringing about the war, but they failed to identify the British partner to the plot. Lord Milner’s Second War exposes the role played by the Rhodes-Milner secret society in fomenting World War I. Lord Milner and his friends staged a coup in British foreign policy, culminating with the appointment of Sir Edward Grey as Foreign Secretary, Richard Haldane as War Secretary, and General Sir Henry Wilson as Director of Military Operations. With his team in place, Milner painstakingly prepared Britain for war.
Lord Milner inherited his secret society from its founder, Cecil Rhodes, and he dedicated himself to implementing Rhodes’ dream of a world state based on the British Empire. He started the South African War, demonstrating he had the ruthlessness to start a war and the determination to finish what he had started. After his first war, Lord Milner set his sights on a Great War to eliminate European opposition to the hegemony of his Anglo-American Banking cartel. Victory in his second war allowed him usher in the New World Order, an alliance of elites that since 1919 has accumulated immense power and has exercised unprecedented influence in world affairs. This is the story of how the New World Order began.
INTRODUCTION
The Rhodes-Milner secret society (The Milner Group), based in England, colluded with President Poincare of France and Ambassador lzvolsky of Russia to foment the seminal event of the twentieth century—the 1914-18 First World War. lzvolsky destroyed Czarist Russia; Poincare led a million-and-a-half of his countrymen to their graves; but victory for the Milner Group left this secret organization of imperialists and financiers wielding enormous influence in world affairs. The primary source on the Rhodes-Milner secret society is Carroll Quigley, a Georgetown professor. He wrote two books, Tragedy And Hope and The Anglo-American Establishment, in which he revealed the existence of this secret society, and partially revealed what they do and the enormous influence they wield. In the former he says:
There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network . . . I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies . . . but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known.’
In his later work, The Anglo-American Establishment, Quigley examines the “Anglo” side of the organization and he makes the following claims about the Rhodes-Milner secret society:
For these men were organizing a secret society (in 1891) that was, for more than fifty years, to be one of the most important forces in the formulation and execution of British imperial and foreign policy?
The power and influence of this Rhodes-Milner group in British imperial affairs and in foreign policy since 1889, although not widely recognized, can hardly be exaggerated.
Any effort to write an account of the influence exercised by the Milner Group in foreign affairs in the period between the two World Wars would require a complete rewriting of the history of that period.
Quigley claims he read the secret documents of this organization. His claim leaves no wriggle room: either we dismiss him as a crank or we test his claim against the historical record. I have written a monograph to test Quigley’s assertions that a powerful secret society exercises enormous political and financial influence in the western world by examining the role the Rhodes-Milner Group played in bringing about the Great War. I concentrate on the Great War because it is both the defining event of the Twentieth Century and also immensely rich in documentary evidence. My monograph uses Quigley’s revelations, hints, and subtle signposts to outline how the Rhodes-Milner secret society, under the stewardship of Lord Milner, fostered the Great War.
