The First World War
In many ways, the first “world” war resulted from the direct command given to George Washington leading up to the French and Indian War. Following the order given by Governor Robert Dinwiddie of Virginia[1] (National Archives), Washington fired upon a French detail (Ritchie, R., 2021). As decades have progressed, it has been through our allegiance to the continued defense of independent sovereignty, apart from all nations, that we arrived at the resilient and exceptional country we now exist. While, “The First World War is sadly one of the more forgotten aspects of American military history today[2],” (Richie, R., 2021), the combination of new and old technologies would change American warfare indefinitely, bringing our nation’s military into a new age.
World War I tested and pioneered many military standards and vital technologies in modern American warfare. For the first time in American History, soldiers were mandated to take an IQ test, barring those who failed from entering top-ranking positions or enlisting in service altogether[3]. IQ testing was part of the Root Reforms, as “Secretary Root concluded that most of the mistakes made during the [Spanish-American] war were the product of faulty organization and planning[4],” (Army). Another change was The Dick Act of 1903, which funded the National Guard, and “codify the circumstances in which the Guard could be federalized[5],[6],” (Ritchie, R., 2021), (Cornell). Although at the time of its passage, the Dick Act of 1903 was “ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Attorney General,” it, according to Historian R. F. Ritchie, ended up being the “groundwork for the National Guard Act of 1916.”
America’s Contributions to the First World War
On July 28th, 1914 Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, in response to the assassination of Franz Ferdinand[7] (LOC). America entered World War I on April 2nd, 1917, nearly three years after the war began, joining the Allied Powers, fighting alongside France, Russia, and Britain, as we fought against the Central Powers comprised of Austria-Hungary, Germany, and Romania[8]. Historically, the U.S. military utilizes an impatient American way of fighting (AWoF) to eliminate enemy forces, a tactic responsible for effectively ending World War I by 1918. Due to the nature of our AWoF, had America entered in 1914, the first World War may have held a very different outcome. One advantage brought by our American military was the expansion of our naval warfare possibilities. As Robert Ritchie describes[9], “the decision to build fleets of surface vessels by the Germans during both wars represented a mistake of historical proportions.” Another staple in our American Way of Fighting (AWoF) was the implementation of tanks, which were introduced alongside cavalry and other existing technologies[10] (Ritchie, R., 2021). This allowed tanks to operate without needing to reform previous strategies and tactics. “Tanks, like their predecessor the horse cavalry, could not hold against ground troops without the support of ground troops[11] (Ford).” While the U.S. military combined horse calvary with tanks and naval ships, they also utilized aircraft and motor cars. Though motor vehicles of this era were incomparable to technologies seen today, it was their rapid implementation alongside horse cavalry which gave our nation the upper hand in warfare[12]. This included U.S. tanks, commanded by Captain George S. Patton, who saw the shielded vehicles gave American forces an armored advantage. Emerging from the war a hero, General Patton would fight victoriously in World War II, later being assassinated in a vehicular accident by Russian forces, then poisoned by cyanide, a claim supported by WWII veteran Douglas Bazata[13] (WarfareHistoryNetwork).
While it was our revolutionary American Way of Fighting (AWoF) that was able to end World War I, the Germans would be remembered for their own contributions. Unlike the American military, Germany created nefarious weaponry, exposing the Allied Powers to the first known use of poison gas in modern warfare, and utilized flamethrowers during conflict[14],[15] (TheWorldWar). Historically, biological warfare has been a tactic recorded as early as the 1346 Siege of Caffa, where according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), dead bodies infected with the Black Plague were catapulted into the Crimean city of Caffa. The NIH claims that existing evidence is “plausible and provides the best explanation of the entry of plague into the city.” Bioweapons remained unregulated from the Black Plague, through the Soviet era, ending with the United Nations’ 1972 Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC), which was enacted worldwide on March 26th, 1975, to prevent further inhumane chemical attacks[16],[17] (UN). [An agreement which the Soviet Union did not comply, creating bioweapons in secret until its demise in 1991.]
Economics. The AWoF was not the only thing America contributed to World War I, it would effectively become the moment that the U.S. economy would become permanently tethered to the actions of the Federal Reserve. As Phil Davies, an editor employed by the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis notes, during World War I, “Federal spending surged as the military mobilized[18],” (FederalReserveHistory). This “surge” in spending contributed to the skyrocketing of inflation, as the Federal Reserve urged the public to “borrow and buy” by financing purchases through banks in order to buy bonds. Overall, the Federal Reserve claims nearly 10 Billion dollars in bonds were sold by the end of 1918 in order to pay for World War I, nearly quadrupling the financial burden on working-class Americans from 1916, just two years earlier[19].
The Pandemic of 1918: Paving the Way for Globalism
As noted by Military Historian Robert F. Ritchie, “Influenza may have been the most terrible result of the First World War[20],” (USGovernmentSpending). The end of World War I was marked by the Spanish flu of 1918, which began that February[21] (CDC). World War I would continue nine months into the pandemic until November 1918. At the time, beyond the League of Nations, there were no official global institutions as we see today, nor was there a world health authority. Due to fears from Congress, the United States was never a member of the League of Nations, making a world government impossible at the time. By today’s standards of routine federal deception, there is no reason to doubt that the Spanish flu was likely a bioweapon internationally created to bring an end to global conflict and distribute the immense military power witnessed by America, forcing our nation to submit to join a world organization. In 1921, three years after World War I, and just one year after the pandemic of 1918, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) was formed[22]. Since then, the Council on Foreign Relations (C.F.R.) has worked to suppress the encouragement of American independence, working in collusion with foreign governments to assemble a global dictatorship[23],[24] (WEF). “This is the group which designed the United Nations[25]…At least fourty-seven C.F.R. members were among the American delegates to the founding of the United Nations in San Francisco in 1945.” (Abraham, L., 1985)
The Federal Reserve and the Rise of Global Government Intervention
As Military Historian Robert F. Ritchie reminds us during World War I, the American people felt “Increasingly the world seemed to be becoming smaller, what geographers today call globalization[26].” In many ways, it was George Washington’s “first world war,” during the French and Indian War, that gave America its international personality, and it was World War I that provided our military the ability to expand its technological capabilities, develop an image of international resilience, and contribute to further fine-tuning our AWoF. As Robert Ritchie describes in his Liberty University video lecture, “No war has a conclusion. Every war leads results that will be settled in a subsequent generation.”
Getting America involved would be no easy task, but it was one that possibly began before the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in 1914. In 1912, JP Morgan’s personal mission was to eliminate all substantial opposition to creating a U.S. central banking system. Three notable tycoons John Aster, Isador Strauss & Benjamin Guggenheim were all opposed to the creation of central banking, however, also mysteriously were among the passengers who lost their lives aboard the Titanic, a ship owned but not boarded by JP Morgan[27]. With the egregious atrocity functioning in his favor, JP Morgan and associates would go on to establish The Federal Reserve without bureaucratic resistance. On Dec 23rd, 1913, just six months before World War I would arise in 1914, the Federal Reserve was officially born, long before the United States would enter the conflict in 1917. Yet the war alone was not enough to sway U.S. involvement, as Woodrow Wilson assured Americans we would not enter the battle. Baffled on his swift change of opinion in 1917, Historian Robert Ritchie states “[m]any Americans at the time could not understand why we entered the war[28].” While History depicts the conspiratorial assassination of Franz Ferdinand as the match that ignited the first World War, JP Morgan may have actually been responsible for America’s involvement in the first global war when his Lusitania was mysteriously attacked and sunk by a torpedo from a German U-Boat[29] in 1915. Among those killed aboard the ship was Alfred Vanderbilt, one of America’s “richest men” at the time. Vanderbilt died heroically, helping women to safety while leaving behind his fortune and legacy.[30] (IrishTimes). According to The Lusitania Resource, the attack on the ship was planned in advance, likely an attempt to involve America in the war[31]. Before boarding the ship, a telegram arrived for Alfred Vanderbilt stating “THE LUSITANIA IS DOOMED. DO NOT SAIL ON HER,” and signed, “MORTE.” Vanderbilt did not believe the validity of the telegram, boarding anyway. Upon Lusitania’s demise, Yellow Journalism flooded the nation as the government, and likely JP Morgan, pumped money into the mainstream media. Psyops like The New York Times ran influential headlines reading “Washington Stirred as When Maine Sank,” knowing the influential publication from news outlets of the USS Maine caused popular support for international conflict sparking the Spanish American War. By this measure, it could be speculated that the Spanish American War was also a false flag funded by the FBI and other federal bureaucrats (established in 1908) to expand federal interests at the American people’s expense[32] (FBI).
The great narrative avoids reminding future generations of the soaring state of inflation and decimation of the U.S. economy which the people were held financially responsible from the results of these military endeavors. At the time of the sinking of the Lusitania, President Woodrow Wilson was used to publicly oppose the war, assuring the public of domestic safety in a display of retaliatory resistance both nationally and globally[33] (Encyclopedia). However, through the use of Yellow Journalism, in 1917, he caved into the curated public demand, under the premise that international war would make America “safe for democracy[34],” (WhiteHouse). The illusive term democracy continues to be used today to mobilize the public to take action and favor international War. By the end of World War I, aside from the patriotic success of America and its advancing military, it is oligarchs who thrived, proceeding to send future generations of soldiers to fight on behalf of government interests in the decades to come, while residents were condemned to fund the operation indefinitely.
God’s Image
While America remained reluctant during the initial years of World War I, we were eventually called to battle to uphold and preserve the image which God intended. Exodus 17:4,5a (NIV) ”Then Moses cried out to the LORD, ‘What am I to do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me.’ The LORD answered Moses, ‘Go out in front of the people.’” Despite our hesitancy to become involved in the first global conflict, there were certainly potent forces of evil to which we were anointed by the Lord to protect. In Exodus, Moses, upholding the request of God, told Joshua to fight the Amalekites and defend the Israelites at Rephidim, stating in Exodus 17:9b “Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands.” It was by the will of God that World War I ended after just one year of American troops entering battle. It is evident that our Founders’ Christian influence sustains to the population of today, giving our nation a warfare advantage, as America fights under His protection in order to defend the Kingdom of God from communist, humanist, and atheist imperialism. Exodus 17:15,16 (NIV) “Moses built an altar and called it The LORD is my Banner [Jehovah-Nissi]. He said, ‘Because hands were lifted up against the throne of the LORD, the LORD will be at war against the Amalekites from generation to generation.’” In many ways, the Central Powers during World War I resembled the Amalekites. With the exception of external legislation, our Constitution has remained unchanged since its creation, reminding the government, our military, and civilians that it is God who provides us with our inherent inalienable rights.
Conclusion
Militarily, the U.S. emerged from World War I victorious and rose to become a global superpower, having increased its fighting abilities through the innovative use of tanks, Naval ships, vehicles, and aircraft, alongside existing weapons and technologies, refining our American Way of Fighting (AWoF). American soldiers returned home heroes from battle, having avenged the Lusitania after the initial German attack which claimed over a thousand lives.
During World War I, many domestic institutions used the military’s efforts to profit, benefitting themselves, a scheme that federal agencies continue to engage in today. One tactic which began during World War I, and has remained consistently used by the Federal Reserve during wartime is the printing of U.S. currency. Since the Federal Reserve’s establishment, Wars have been used to yield profit through printing trillions of dollars, distributing funds on the people’s behalf to engage in global collusion. What began in 1913, extends today into the proxy war against Russia, as American politicians pump tens of billions in tax dollars to fund the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion within the Ukrainian government, furthering the UN global agenda. In October 2018 FBI Special Agent Scott Bierwirth filed an affidavit, admitting under oath of the Ukrainian neo-Nazi battalions’ existence. Azov Battalion is also reported to have engaged in radicalizing and training U.S.-based white supremacy organizations[35],[36]. Despite continuing to fund unnecessary wars today at the people and the soldiers’ expense, the Federal Reserve still falsely declares that during World War I it “took actions to bring inflation down following the conflict, emerging from the period better equipped to serve as a central bank.” It is evident that the corrupt individuals who run federal agencies do not care about human lives, nor the people, but instead see war as a financial opportunity, rather than using our military as a mechanism of defense. On November 8th, 2002, Milton Freidman’s 90th birthday, at the University of Chicago, the Federal Reserve’s Board Governor Ben Bernake admitted to the crimes against the working class that started during the first World War. Bernake boasted to Milton Freidman “Regarding the Great Depression. You're right, we did it. We're very sorry,” deceptively adding, “But thanks to you, we won't do it again[37],” (FederalReserve). In many ways our current state of affairs is similar to the events which led up to World War I. Time will tell if America learned from the first and second World Wars, and avoid engaging in future international conflict, and focus on building our domestic infrastructure, defending our national sovereignty, and the civil rights of all U.S. civilians which the heroes of World War I fought with their lives to ensure and protect.
