I was clicking on the Javascript links and found this, which really strikes a cord as being a cut above the standard bs one would find at any other media outlet.

Anglo-American Axis

The Anglo-American axis, within the context of the power elite, is the unacknowledged cultural cradle of the latest effort to consolidate countries and governments into a global order. One needs to see the axis from a historical perspective to understand its evolution and the strength that it derives from successive waves of immigration.

From Wikipedia we learn that "Anglo-Saxons" – the Germanic tribes that entered England after the fall of Rome – drove the indigenous people out of most of the region and into Wales. There were at least three tribes. First, the Angles from Angeln, the whole nation of which apparently entered Britain, "leaving their former land empty." (The etymology, then, would be Anglo-Saxon 'Engla land' or 'Ængla land'.) Second, were the Saxons from Lower Saxony and, third, apparently, the Jutes from Denmark.

The Anglo-Saxons in England were in turn invaded by the Viking Normans. According to Wikipedia, "The name 'Normans' derives from 'Northmen' or 'Norsemen', after the Vikings from Scandinavia who founded (French) Normandy. ... In 1066, Duke William II of Normandy conquered England killing King Harold II at the Battle of Hastings. The invading Normans and their descendants replaced the Anglo-Saxons as the ruling class of England ... Eventually, the Normans merged with the natives, combining languages and traditions. In the course of the Hundred Years War, the Norman aristocracy often identified themselves as English. The Anglo-Norman language became distinct from the French language."

There was yet, perhaps, one more cultural overlay, a most controversial one and part of what may be termed "secret history." This, according to certain historians, was a migration of various Venetian banking families to England during a period of perhaps 200 years (1500-1700). These wealthy and powerful families, some apparently with Jewish antecedents, are said to have established themselves within the independent enclave of the "City of London," a financial district and the epicenter of world-spanning Anglo-American financial power. Eventually, these families, inter-marrying with Anglo-Saxons, are said to have become part of the royalty of Britain with familial branches through Europe and especially in Germany, France and Italy.

The "Anglo" power elite that emerged from the above waves of conquest, if such "secret history" is deemed to be true, was highly militant and manipulative – perhaps the most ruthless and vibrant power-culture on the planet. It utilized fiat money and central banking as tools to impose its will throughout Europe. Set back by the communication explosion of the Gutenberg Press and resultant Reformation, it nonetheless persevered and created, eventually, a "democratic" facade of governance behind which it could continue to exercise leadership and further consolidate hidden authority.

The American exception, especially as enunciated by the American libertarian philosopher and statesman Thomas Jefferson, was a conscious attempt to break away from the mercantile authoritarianism of Europe and the Anglo power elite. These "United States of America" were successful in pursuing a republican, agrarian legislative order until the "War Between the States" – partially funded by New York banks controlled by the Anglo elite – put an end to the republic and ushered in a new order, the Anglo-American axis.

It is this Anglo-American axis (a "special relationship") that has dominated the Western world for the past 150 years. It is a secretive and closely guarded group of families and individuals with enormous wealth derived from the implementation of mercantilist central banking. In recent years, America has provided the military power and to a large extent the corporate vehicles that have projected the "one world" vision of the Anglo-American elite throughout the West, and even to Africa and Asia.

The ruthless progress of the Anglo-American axis – or Empire – depended in large part on secrecy and on the implementation of fear-based dominant social themes that were used to control the expanding populace and to further consolidate wealth and power. These themes were promoted through an intricate array of think tanks, universities and government organizations that first presented the concepts and then provided authoritarian solutions. The introduction of the Internet, like the Gutenberg Press before it, has exposed the machinations of the Anglo-American power elite and made visible the secret mechanisms of control via dominant social themes. Today, similar to the way the press spawned the Protestant Reformation, the Internet is spawning a sort of Internet Reformation – once again challenging the elite structures of the present day.

The Anglo-American power axis is currently in retreat, its authoritarian promotions giving way to increasingly failed attempts at manipulation via outright force and the implementation of legislation that has not been properly promoted. Since it is impossible for a few thousand to harry the world's billions into submission via brute authoritarianism, one would assume at some point that the latest efforts at global governance would be abandoned and the Anglo-American power elite would take a step back to come up with new control methodologies as they have before.

Sounds LaRouchian. They are the ones pushing this Venetian banker theory. I tried to find independent corroboration of it years ago, but was unable to come up with anything.

It took me a few tries to find the link in the Daily Bell article that leads to this story. It's the Anglosphere link.

I'm not a stickler for precision when the topic is history. Most of history is unknown, and what is 'known' is full of mythology. Hitler noted that History will be written by the victors. And they never write about their own dirty deeds. What rings true in this story is the quest for control.

My own experience has taught me that there are at least two ways to gain control over anything. You can gain control by force, or by persuasion. You can also gain control by deceit. Control can only be maintained by force. With any of these methods, you need a far superior understanding of human nature than the people you intend to control. The two features of human nature that play the biggest part in control is fear and greed. You cannot control people who are above fear and greed. People who are guided by spirituality, or by ideas and principles are resistant to external controls.

The anglo-american elite apparently have access to the real facts of history--the real lessons of history, acquired from experience of earlier empires--the Babylonians, Persians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Khazars, and various European empires, most notably the British empire. This gives them an advantage in their quest for control. I have a theory that the control of people by empires depends on how easy it is for people to communicate with each other. The easier it is for people to get information, the harder it is for an empire, or any other form of government to control them. Therefore, they are fighting a constant battle with 'information technology'. They have to control the availability of information to remain in control. When they do that, they control by deceit. That explains the challenges and setbacks they experienced after the invention of the printing press. It also foreshadows the difficulties they are having with the internet. When people are informed, the only way left for the elite to control them is with force. That is why we are seeing the re-emergence of Fascism. In Europe, int the 20th century, the big technological challenge was the emergence of broadcast radio and TV, which was initially dealt with by fascist regimes like Mussolini's and Hitlers--who used that medium (radio) to brainwash entire populations. Those who refused to be brainwashed were dealt with by force. Fascism is a system that favors force as a means of persuasion.

Money, as it exists today in 'fiat' form is a combination of persuasion and deceit. Offering people money persuades them. But fiat money itself is a deceit because it covers up a transfer of wealth that those who create it are unaware of. It is therefore taboo to teach people anything about money, other than the fact that they have to work for it. All our taboos support control by the elite. We know that just by looking at the practice of 'political correctness' which is the art of observing politically inspired taboos.

The elite have another enemy, that they have a mixed record in controlling. That is corruption. Corruption destroys confidence in their system. Corruption lays bare their control. Corruption educates the more intelligent members of the society about the value of integrity. Corruption destroys the elite's ability to persuade the masses of the legitimacy of their control. Corruption emerges in the laws and the justice system of the controllers. When the laws are corrupt, and the justice system is corrupt, the elite have to work extra hard to maintain the illusion that the corruption is really a form of 'law and order'. When corruption reaches a critical mass, the population rebels.

I could expand on this endlessly. Fortunately, I don't have to. It just takes a small spark to get people to see what is around them, and to think for themselves about it. Ron Paul provides that spark in a muted fashion because he doesn't want the fascists to apply their preferred means of silencing on him. The rest of us can take his message to its ultimate intent--liberty is the absence of imperial control. And the apparent lack of common sense in public policy is a manifestation of corruption that has to be exorcised from the body politic. Ron Paul can't be that direct in his message, but there it is.

My own personal opinion is they have plundered as much as possible from the west and are setting us up to fall, having taken most of their wealth out, and running to asia, particularly china, but also places like singapore. Maybe like OP's article states, they are planning to intermarry amongst the locals until their true hereditary bloodline is more hidden.

Sounds LaRouchian. They are the ones pushing this Venetian banker theory. I tried to find independent corroboration of it years ago, but was unable to come up with anything.

The Venecians, and the florentians, specifically Medichi (bankers who became a family line of "Catholic" popes) and Black Nobility have developed a control over Europe via the fractional reserve banking. That is in the history books.

As far as them moving to England...question remains if they moved, or if the same style of fractional reserve plus private Central bank equaled total domination of Europe by England in the later centuries.

Here's another interesting read:

The British royal family of today typifies the Venetian Party, and continues the outlook and methods of an oligarchical faction which can be traced far back into the ancient world. Oligarchism is a principle of irrational domination associated with hereditary oligarchy/ nobility and with certain aristocratic priesthoods. At the center of oligarchy is the idea that certain families are born to rule as an arbitrary elite, while the vast majority of any given population is condemned to oppression, serfdom, or slavery.

Oligarchs identify wealth purely in money, and practice usury, monetarism, and looting at the expense of technological advancement and physical production. Oligarchs have always been associated with the arbitrary rejection of true scientific discovery and scientific method in favor of open anti-science or more subtle obscurantist pseudo-science..

A pillar of the oligarchical system is the family fortune, or fondo as it is called in Italian. The continuity of the family fortune which earns money through usury and looting is often more important than the biological continuity across generations of the family that owns the fortune. In Venice, the largest fondo was the endowment of the Basilica of St. Mark, which was closely associated with the Venetian state treasury, and which absorbed the family fortunes of nobles who died without heirs. This fondo was administered by the procurers of St. Mark, whose position was one of the most powerful under the Venetian system. Around this central fondo were grouped the individual family fortunes of the great oligarchical families, such as the Mocenigo, the Cornaro, the Dandolo, the Contarini, the Morosini, the Zorzi, and the Tron. Until the end of the eighteenth century, the dozen or so wealthiest Venetian families had holdings comparable or superior to the very wealthiest families anywhere in Europe. When the Venetian oligarchy transferred many of its families and assets to northern Europe, the Venetian fondi provided the nucleus of the great Bank of Amsterdam, which dominated Europe during the seventeenth century, and of the Bank of England, which became the leading bank of the eighteenth century.

In the pre-Christian world around the Mediterranean, oligarchical political forces included Babylon in Mesopotamia. The "whore of Babylon" condemned in the Apocalypse of St. John the Divine is not a mystical construct, but a very specific power cartel of evil oligarchical families. Other oligarchical centers included Hiram of Tyre and the Phoenicians. The Persian Empire was an oligarchy. In the Greek world, the center of oligarchical banking and intelligence was the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, whose agents included Lycurgus of Sparta and later Aristotle.
