I shook my head again in disbelief. He was right. I didn't want to hear this.
"In order for you Americans to understand anything at all about the history of humanity and the world around you, you have to recognize that there are two opposing forces in the world that have been at war with each other for the last six hundred years," said the man. "Before that time the war of empire versus civilization was virtually unopposed. But will you ever discover that you are right in the middle of that war and oppose it once again, before it destroys America totally?"
He explained that "the war of empire versus civilization" as he called it, is rooted in the oligarchic, feudal tradition that maintains a privately directed system of government, which enables the rich to steal their opulent living from the labors of humanity. "They do it by clever games and special privileges," he said.
"The other force that I spoke of," he said, "the one opposing them, is the republican spirit of humanity, which promotes the self-development of individuals and nations. The founding of America was mankind's proudest achievement on this front. Before it was destroyed the American System had uplifted all of Europe, especially Germany. The great Bismarck reforms that rebuilt Germany and put in the map of progress was an expression of your achievements. And that makes me a traitor too, because I don't know how to fight to get the kind of Germany back that had reflected your republican ideals of uplifting the value of the human being. We got Hitler instead, another Trojan Horse uttered in the war of empire versus civilization."
The man said that the greatest development period in history was the Golden Renaissance. Its focus was on the dignity of man and the common welfare of society. He went on to say that the unfolding new perception had been so immense at first that the powers of the Renaissance had banded together to rid the world of the last major outpost of feudalism. This happened to be the Venetian Empire, the foremost slave trader of the Old World. The man said that this quest by the Renaissance powers would surely have succeeded had the Venetian Empire not persuaded the Pope as the head of another empire, to intervene. His intervention saved the Venetian Empire from being wiped out. From this point on, the feudal powers have been at war with the powers of the Renaissance spirit. The Thirty Years war that devastated Europe was the first major outcome of this confrontation, and so was every war that followed, including the first and second world wars. "Even communism was created as a part of the war of empire to defeat the Renaissance spirit, that is, to defeat the self-development of humanity."
The man tried to catch the attention of the bar tender while he spoke, but this didn't change his focus. "Carl Marx was not the creator of communism," he said to me, "he was a willing student who was ideologically guided by a man named David Urquhard, a British Aristocrat and specialist in the art of psychological warfare under the direction of Lord Palmerston set up by the second Earl of Shelburne. This means that communism was the concoction of the aristocrats. The script was written in London. The project was directed from the highest levels of the British Empire. Now I want to hear you tell me that this game was invented to elevate humanity. The goal was to destroy the industrial machine of continental Europe and Russia, which had become powerful and had thereby become a threat to the British Empire."
The man had emptied his glass before the bar tender came by again, then ordered another one, though he didn't drink of it. He explained that a feudal empire exists entirely from the proceeds of looting. "It's been like that throughout all history," he said. "In order to maintain itself in power a feudal empire must create poverty. Poverty prevents the rise of a resistance to its rule. The empire has no choice in the matter. Unfortunately for us, the last surviving feudal empire has become a near global empire that is determined to create and maintain poverty on a global scale. History teaches us that a feudal empire has no option but to do this. History also teaches us that the best way to create large-scale poverty is to cause wars, especially ideological wars, and internally subversive wars that destroy industries and populations. Of course, in our modern world, the feudal powers conduct these wars mainly financially, and in a hidden way, ideologically to instigate division and universal chaos."
