The concept 'One World or None' was first developed during World War I, to promote World Government at the Peace Conference of Versailles. After World War II the same idea was put, specifically with regard to Nuclear Weapons. Similar arguments have been put more recently in relation to Global Warming, Resource Depletion and other environmental issues.
However, the proponents always had some limitations in mind. The Jewish scientists who developed the Atomic Bomb were quite prepared to use it against Hitler - meaning that, faced with a choice between destroying the earth and submitting to Hitler, they would choose the former.
Others would use it rather than submit to domination by the Soviet Union or Communist China.
Israel would use it rather than submit to Arab or Islamic domination.
Others might use it rather than submit to a Zionist-crazed Israel, or its proxy forces.
Nevertheless the issues are serious and need deep thought and debate.
In 1946, the atomic scientists who had created the Nuclear Bomb, alarmed by US military leaders who wanted to use nuclear weapons to bomb Russia, proposed a worldwide Atomic Energy Commission to control both military and civilian aspects of the nuclear industry. Their plan was developed in the pages of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. A number of the articles in that journal explicitly canvassed World Government, meaning that the proposed Commission would control world armaments and have a monopoly on the use of force. This would impact the sovereignty of both the United States (the Senate would have to ratify it) and the Soviet Union (for which the abolition of the veto was a major threat).
The US government put to Stalin the final plan, known as The Baruch Plan, drafted by Bernard Baruch & David Lilienthal, both Jews. Bertrand Russell described its development in his book Has Man a Future? russell2.html. Baruch had earlier been associated with Wilson's attempt to have the League of Nations created as a World Government, with a World Army and a World Court: c20-doc.html. The Encyclopaedia Judaica (Jerusalem, 1971) says that Baruch "served on the Supreme Economic Council at the Conference of Versailles, where he was President Wilson's personal economic adviser". Lilienthal had written, in 1918, of the Jewish Mission to unite the World (see item 7 below).
Stalin got cold feet - he'd noticed the Jewish campaign to have a Jewish republic within the USSR, created in the Crimea: sudoplat.html. What unnerved him especially was that AMERICAN Jews, with their huge financial power, would be involved, and he felt that the USSR would lose control.
As a result, the World Government aspects were shelved. The AEC was formed, and in later decades the major powers made non-proliferation treaties, but not all nuclear powers ratified such treaties.

(1) Overview
The proposal was put in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists over several months in 1946. In his book Has Man a Future?, Bertrand Russell - an advocate of World Government - describes how it developed, first as a proposal assembled by David Lilienthal, then in a form developed by Bernard Baruch (p. 25 & p. 97).
This "Baruch Plan" was canvassed in the issues of 1946 and put to Stalin. By the end of that year, Stalin had rejected it, on the grounds that it required submission to Washington, and the Cold War had begun.
The One World conspiracy has three factions: Tory (Imperial), International Socialist, and Zionist: british-conspiracy.html.
The Baruch Plan cannot be deemed a "Tory" document, because otherwise Jewish Communists like Einstein would not have supported it.
Baruch and Lilienthal were Jewish. One might place Baruch in the Zionist faction, because he headed the Jewish delegation obtaining Palestine at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919: freedman.html.
But the high-profile Jewish backers of the Baruch Plan (all of the following scientists, plus Lippmann, are Jewish: Albert Einstein, Robert Oppenheimer, Leo Szilard, Walter Lippmann, Niels Bohr, James Franck, Eugene Rabinowitch, Hy Goldsmith, Hans Bethe, Harold Urey) belong to the International Socialist faction.
So here one sees the joining of the Trotskyist and Zionist forces.
The International Socialist faction is also what H. G. Wells called the "Open Conspiracy" for World Government: opencon.html.
Leo Szilard is a link between Wells, the Open Conspiracy, and the Baruch Plan; he was one of its promoters. The following is from http://www.dannen.com/chronbio.html:
"1929 ... Met H.G. Wells. ... 1930 ... Attempted to organize an international movement of progressive intellectuals based on H.G. Wells' Open Conspiracy."
The International Socialist faction promotes Political Correctness, the World Court, the Kyoto Protocol, Feminism, and Gay Marriage.
This faction mounted the Bolshevik Revolution, but was overthrown by Stalin, who gave them a dose of their own medicine: stalin.html. It is now also called New Left ("new" meaning anti-Stalinist): new-left.html, and Marxist Anti-Communist: kostel.html.
The Soviet Union fell because Gorbachev belongs to the International Socialist faction; he was undoing Stalin's conquests, and trying to form a Single World Civilization. This was impeded because during his rule the US & Britain were in Tory hands (Reagan, Thatcher, Bush snr).
The International Socialist faction opposed the earlier May-Johnson Bill, which belongs to the Tory faction; it was replaced by the McMahon bill.
In the International Socialists' book ONE WORLD or NONE, one contributor, Harold C. Urey, wrote, "Here was a bill originating in the War Department ... The May-Johnson Bill was actually similar in intent and effect to the transfer of power from the German Reichstag to Hitler ..."
This even though the same "Nazi" leadership of the US Army had just defeated Hitler.

A proposal for World Government is a serious matter, affecting everyone. World Government will be final: there will be no "trial run", and nowhere to escape should it turn bad. Examination is therefore warranted; to promote study of this matter, here are images of the pages of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists:

Emery Reves On World Government
Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, February 1, 1946, p. 6
TEXT:
On January 17 and 18, two meetings, devoted to a lecture and discussion on the subject of World Federation were jointly sponsored by the ASC and the U. of C. Office of Enquiry. The speaker was Emery Reves, author of "Anatomy of Peace." The meetings were made possible by Mr. Hamilton Holt, President of Rollins College. Mr. George Holt presided.
Mr. Reves presented the thesis that no agreement between sovereign nations can solve the problem of war, and consequently, international control of atomic energy is useless and perhaps impossible as long as sovereignty Is not transferred from individual nations to a world federation. He suggested that working for Immediate creation of such a federation is at least as Important as an attempt to achieve UNO control of atomic weapons. The functions of the world federal government may at first be restricted to security matters and interstate trade, but they must be based on overwhelming military force.
In his opinion, Britain and many smaller countries are quite reedy to accept world federation. In the U. S., the attitude towards world government is more favorable than it Is commonly assumed to be. Mr. Reves appealed to the atomic scientist, whose influence on public opinion he described in glowing terms, to join in an attempt to enlist newspapers, radio commentators, churches, etc. in a campaign for World Government.
If Russia or other countries cannot be persuaded to enter the Federation at once, it must be created nevertheless, by the nations who are ready to accept the scheme. However there must be a clear understanding that the Federation is not directed against any nation, and it will accept any nation willing to join, at any time, without regard to the internal economic or political structure of that nation. (On this point, his view differs from that of the "Union Now" group). He stated that Russian policy Is based on fear and mistrust of our intentions rather than on deliberate aggressiveness, and that we can expect Russian cooperation if we succeed in demonstrating to the USSR that we have no hostile Intentions against her economic system and that we sincerely desire her cooperation.
In the lively discussion which followed the speech, several members of the ASC objected to the speaker's criticism of the UNO; others defended the ASC policy of concentrating on the technical problems of atomic energy controls. ==

A Scientist Views The World Situation - H. C. Urey
Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, February 15, 1946, p.4
[...] WORLD GOVERNMENT NEEDED
I think we are finally driven to a solution that most of us will agree is improbable. (If you would ask me to guess what the probabilities are, I would that the highest probability should be assigned to a world disaster, but even if solutions look improbable, I think we must work for those improbable sotions anyway and try to increase their probability.)
It seems to me that we must expect some sort of world government with adequate powers to prohibit atomic bombs. It must have the power to police the world to see that such laws are obeyed.
The United Nations Organization is not a government of that kind. It should attempt, then, to strengthen its organization in such ways as to make it a more effective world government.
The first step is to convince the people of the United States as to what the situation is. We may wish that other countries would understand this also, but that is not something that we can do very well. The thing that we can do is to explain the situafion to the people of this country and try to get people in this country willing to have this country undertake to do its part In such a proposal. As this country moves in that direction, perhaps other peoples of the world will trust us more than do at the present time. Perhaps they also will go along.
This is a condensation of a speech by Prof. Urey before the Conference of Churchmen and Scientists at the University of Chicago on Feb. 6. ==

TEXT:
The International Control of Atomic Energy
J. Robert Oppenheimer
Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists,June 1, 1946, pp. 1-2
Within a few weeks the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission will meet. If their meetings are successful, there will come out of them some sort of charter or set of treaties. If these are any good, if they follow proposals which have hope of effectiveness, they will require ratification by the Senate of the United States, because they will involve a partial abrogation of our national sovereignty, a giving up of what may appear to be a least a temporary security: a loss in our monopolistic position of technical advantage in the field of atomic energy. At that time, and in the period leading up to that time, it is of the utmost importance that the officers of the Government feel that they have behind them an informed and enlightened and courageous citizenry.
You may think it odd that I should be dealing with a problem of statecraft. For that I have two apologies. One is that I had the privilege of working on these questions with a board of consultants to the State Department, The five of us had rather different backgrounds; and although we felt we were not qualified to discuss many of the more finely diplomatic aspects, the agreement that we reached, the intercourse and interchange of ideas that went into writing our report, gives me some confidence that the views I am presenting are not purely personal views. For another thing, it may be permitted that men who have no qualifications in statecraft concern themselves with the control of atomic energy. For I think that the control of atomic energy is important, in part, because it enables us to get away from patterns of diplomacy which are, in some respects at least, unsatisfactory as a model for the relations between nations, and to set up instead a working relationship between the peoples of different countries, which has in it some promise for the future.
I don't need to review the arguments for seeking international control: the appalling and revolutionary character of the weapon, the inadequacy of military defenses, the impossibility of any permanent monopoly which might protect us every American knows that if there is a third world war, this country will be wounded, maybe fatally wounded, will in any case come through it with nothing like the freedom from injury which we have had in the last two. Every American knows that if there is another major war, atomic weapons will be used, and that the problem we are dealing with is the problem of the elimination of war. We know this because in the last war, the two nations which we like to think are the most enlightened and humane in the world Great Britain and the United States used atomic weapons against an enemy which was essentially defeated. Under these conditions it is not thinkable that in any future major conflict, where the very life of a nation may be at stake, these weapons will not be used they are much too effective for that.
This is an important thing to keep in mind, because it shows that we must ask, of any proposals for the control of atomic energy, what part they can play in reducing the probability of war. Proposals which in no way advance the general problem of the avoidance of war, are not satisfactory proposals.
The threat of atomic warfare and the rivalries for raw materials, for industrial capacity, for power plants, for technical know-how, for scientific experience, which are inherent in any struggle to maintain superiority in the field of atomic weapons, must not be allowed to persist and be in themselves a source of war. If you think of the dangerous situations which have arisen in the world because of the struggle for raw materials, far less critical than uranium, for oil, for instance, you will see what sort of thing I have in mind.
One may say, since the problem is the avoidance of war, why do you not attack it more broadly and more generally? Why not start right away on some of the things that we know might lessen the danger of outbreak of war? What are they? Well, I don't know, but I think when people say if we had universal disarmament, that is, if national armaments were forbidden, this would reduce the chance of war, they have something. When people say, if we had a world government, and if, on matters affecting the common security, the sovereignty of the nations was limited, they have something. And I think when people say that if we could provide for all peoples in the world a rising standard of living, and better education, and more contact with one another, better understanding of each other, and equal access to the technical and raw materials which are needed for improving the standard of living, they have something. It is not my intention to argue that these things should not be done ; that would be quite wrong They must be done. But I think that no one could have looked at the history of the world without being aware of the fact that progress in these fields is rather slow, and is likely to be very slow. I therefore wish to stress the fact that in the field of atomic energy, certain of the difficulties which exist in other areas, are absent; and wish to suggest that in addition to a general effort all along the line, a specific effort focused on this one problem may have a very useful part.
Now, what are the specific points about atomic energy? The main one is that one can set up a system of control. When I use the word can, I mean it is consistent with the technical facts, it is consistent with the way ordinary people behave, it will work in a human sense and a technical sense. One reason for this is that it is a subject of the most extraordinary common concern. I know of nothing which is of as little to the advantage of any men anywhere as that atomic warfare should break out; I know of nothing which is as sure to bring ruin to all as that atomic warfare should break out. I know that in the exploitation of the constructive uses of atomic energy there is a diffuse, and at the moment not clearly defined, but sure benefit for all peoples. And I think that the overriding importance in this field of those interests which the various nations have in common, and the relatively secondary importance, although not negligible, of the separate national interests, is one of the points which makes this a field to make progress in. Another one is that it is a field that has not been limited in the freedom of action by centuries of tradition. It is a new field, and with the exception of the United States, it is a field of which it may be safe to assume that not a terrible lot of progress has been made elsewhere ; it is a field in which what you do now is not as much an eradication of past patterns as the building of new ones.

Debate on World Government or Discussion of Atomic Energy Control
William T. R. Fox
Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Sept. 1, 1946, p. 22
[...] How is it that those who said that nothing less than world government would prevent atomic war and those who said that it would be necessary to reconcile one's self to a great deal less have united in supporting the Baruch proposals? Both groups had taken as a major though generally unstated premise that it would not be possible to have just a segment of world government. Both believed that an efficient inspection process would have involved an international inspectorate in intervention in the daily activities of national governments and individual citizens at a myriad of points. Both believed that effective inspection would have been possible only if the world atomic energy control authority were able to intervene at will throughout the whole range of human activity.
To the world government advocates this meant that mankind had in make quickly a gigantic leap to create a world authority powerful enough to Impose its will on even the greatest of existing states. To those who believed world government not possible in the near future and concluded that a solution had to be found within the framework of the existing multi-state system, this meant that national security and world freedom from atomic war could not be based solely on faith in a possibly inefficient Inspecting process.
By pointing the way to a method of inspection that was both simpler and more efficient than had previously been thought possible, the Lilienthal Board of Consultants were able to satisfy the critics of world government on one count. A system that promises that, so long as no clear warning to the contrary has been given, there is no illicit production of atomic weapons or fissionable materials anywhere in the world permits a responsible statesman to agree to his own stale's total atomic disarmament. A system which permits the underlying strategic balance to reassert itself in the event of a violation or breakdown of the atomic energy control agreements provides a solution within the framework of the multi-state system.
By giving to the world authority a monopoly in all "dangerous" activities in the atomic energy field and by permitting the redrawing whenever necessary of the line between safe and dangerous activities so that the control mechanism can be modified in the light of technological advances, the proposals permit that indefinite expansion of the authority's scope which the world government group had believed necessary. The direction of the expansion, however, is toward the end-point of a perfect monopoly by the world authority of all activities related to atomic energy. It is not toward that unrestricted expansion of the authority through every field of human activity which few statesmen would today agree In advance to permit.
It is precisely because the probable necessary expansion of the authority's field of action seems so modest that the one group believes that the proposals meet its minimum requirements and the other believes that they slay within the limits of what can now be agreed upon. Both groups have given up the belief that total world government is necessary to efficient inspection. Their reconciliation has thus become possible. ==
In the issue of October 1, 1946, Bertrand Russell wrote (p. 21 of that issue):
"The American and British governments ... should make it clear that genuine international cooperation is what they most desire. But although peace should be their goal, they should not let it appear that they are for peace at any price. At a certain stage, when their plan [sic] for an international government are ripe, they should offer them to the world ... If Russia acquiesced willingly, all would be well. If not, it would be necessary to bring pressure to bear, even to the extent of risking war ..."
and earlier (p. 19) in the same article:
"When I speak of an international government, I mean one that really governs, not an amiable facade like the League of Nations or a pretentious sham like the United Nations under its present constitution. An international government ... must have the only atomic bombs, the only plant for producing them, the only air force, the only battleships, and, generally, whatever is necessary to make it irresistible."

TEXT:
The Atomic Bomb and the Prevention of War
Bertrand Russell
Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, October 1, 1946, pp. 19-21
[...] THE PERMANENT PREVENTION OF WAR
It is entirely clear that there is only one way in which great wars can be permanently prevented, and that is the establishment of an international government with a monopoly of serious armed force. When I speak of an international government, I mean one that really governs, not an amiable facade like the League of Nations, or a pretentious sham like the United Nations under its present constitution. An international government, if it is to be able to preserve peace, must have the only atomic bombs, the only plant for producing them, the only air force, the only battleships, and, generally, whatever is necessary to make it irresistible. Its atomic staff, its air squadrons, the crews of its battleships, and its infantry regiments must each severally be composed of men of many different nations; there must be no possibility of the development of national feeling In any unit larger than a company. Every member of the international armed force should be carefully trained In loyalty to the international government.
The International authority must have a monopoly of uranium, and of whatever other raw material may hereafter be found suitable for the manufacture of atomic bombs. It must have a large army of inspectors who must have the right to enter any factory without notice; any attempt to interfere with them or to obstruct their work must be treated as a casus belli. They must be provided with aeroplanes enabling them to discover whether secret plants are being established in empty regions near either Pole or in the middle of large deserts.
The monopoly of armed force is the most necessary attribute of the international government, but it will, of course, have to exercise various governmental functions. It will have to decide all disputes between different nations, and will have to posses the right to revise treaties. It will have to be bound by its constitution to intervene by force of arms against any nation that refuses to submit to the arbitration. Given its monopoly of armed force, such intervention will be seldom necessary and quickly successful. I will not stay to consider what further powers the international government might profitably possess, since those that I have mentioned would suffice to prevent serious wars.
[...] If the United Nations Organisation is to serve any useful purpose, three successive reforms are necessary. First, the veto of the Great Powers must be abolished, and majorities must be declared competent to decide on ail questions that come before the organisation: second, the contingents of the various Powers to the armed forces of the organisation must be increased until they become stronger than any national armed forces; third, the contingents, instead of remaining national blocks, must be distributed so that no considerable unit retains any national feeling or national cohesion. When all these things have been done, but not before, the United Nations Organisation may become a means of averting great wars.
[...] Russia, since it is a dictatorship in which public opinion has no free means of expression, can only be dealt with on the governmental level. Stalin and Molotov, or their successors, will have to be persuaded that it is to the national Interest of Russia to permit the creation of an effective International government. I do not think the necessary persuasion can be effected except by governments, especially the government of the United States. Nor do I think that the persuasion can be effected by arguments of principle. The only possible way, in my opinion, is by a mixture cajolery and threat, making It plain to the Soviet authorities that refusal will entail disaster, while acceptance will not.
[...] In dealing with the Soviet Government, what is most needed is definiteness. The American and British governments should state what issues they consider vital, and on other issues they should allow Russia a free hand. Within this framework they should be as conciliatory as possible. They should make it clear that genuine international cooperation is what they most desire. But although peace should be their goal, they should not let it appear that they are for peace at any price. At a certain stage, when their plan for an international government are ripe, they should offer them to the world, and enlist the greatest possible amount of support; I think they should offer them through the medium of the United Nations. If Russia acquiesced willingly, all would be well. If not, it would be necessary to bring pressure to bear, even to the extent of risking war, for in that case it is pretty certain that Russia would agree. If Russia does not agree to join in forming an International government, there will be war sooner or later; it is therefore wise to use any degree of pressure that may be necessary. But pressure should not be applied until every possible conciliatory approach has been tried and has failed, i have little doubt that such a policy, vigorously pursued,, would in the end secure Russian acquiescence.

(3.1) Bertrand Russell on the Baruch Plan
In 1946, just after the last world war, there were two huge armies, the Soviet and American. If they had joined up, no other force could have resisted them.
Such a proposal for World Government was put in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists over several months in 1946. In his book Has Man a Future?, Bertrand Russell - an advocate of world government - describes how it developed, first as a proposal assembled by David Lilienthal, then in a form developed by Bernard Baruch (p. 25 & p. 97).
This "Baruch Plan" was canvassed in the issues of 1946 and put to Stalin. By the end of that year, Stalin had rejected it, on the grounds that it required submission to Washington, and the Cold War had begun.
On October 1, 1946, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists carried an article by Russell entitled The Atomic Bomb and the Prevention of War, where he writes,
"The American and British governments ... should make it clear that genuine international cooperation is what they most desire. But although peace should be their goal, they should not let it appear that they are for peace at any price. At a certain stage, when their plan (sic) for an international government are ripe, they should offer them to the world ... If Russia acquiesced willingly, all would be well. If not, it would be necessary to bring pressure to bear, even to the extent of risking war".
(3.2) H. G. Wells on how Russia might be incorporated into a World Government
H.G. Wells laid out the scenario for drawing the USSR back into his vision of a World State, in his book The Shape of Things to Come (he called his One-World movement The Modern State Movement).
H. G . Wells, The Shape of Things to Come: the Ultimate Revolution. London, Hutchinson & Co., 1933:
{p. 320} The method of treaty-making {i.e. international agreements} and a modus vivendi was already in operation in regard to Russia. There indeed it was hard to say whether the Communist party or the Modern State Movement was in control, so far had assimilation gone. And the new spirit in the old United States was now so 'Modern' that the protests of Washington and of various state governors against the Controls were received hilariously. Aeroplanes from Dearborn circled over the capital and White House and dropped parodies of the President's instructions to dissolve the Air and Food Trust of America. All over that realist continent, indeed, the Controls expanded as a self-owned business with a complete disregard of political formalities. But the European situation was more perplexing. {end}. hgwells.html.

{p. 471} THE GRAND ALLIANCE {1815, after the defeat of Napoleon}
AT Vienna the concert of Europe had come into being. When the Congress closed the dominant figure in its counsels was the Tzar, whose position in some ways resembled that which President Wilson afterwards filled at the Conference of Paris. Like Wilson he dreamed of creating a body to order the general affairs of mankind. In September 1815 he invited the governments of Europe to recognise that all human authority is derived from God, and to join in 'a Holy Alliance' to assert that principle. ...

{p. 1} I am speaking, as you will realise, of the movement, now astir in all mankind, to live together, for the first time in human history, as a single family. This enterprise is as ambitious as it is imperative. To carry it to success, many contributions will be needed - contributions of different kinds from different quarters. One can see, for instance, what some of the West's contributions will have been. The West will have provided the coming world-community with the technological framework without which it would be impossible to establish and maintain a community on this unprecedentedly large scale. ...
{p. 5} The reason why we need unity so urgently now is both sensational and commonplace. It has been put curtly in the epigram 'One world or none'. It is obvious to every politically conscious man and woman in the world today that, in the Atomic Age, if we do not now abolish war, war is going to abolish us. ...

(4) Jewish support for the Baruch Plan
Baruch and Lilienthal, the authors of the Plan, were Jews, and both editors of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which carried the Plan and its debate, were Jews.

{p. 235} The Jewish connection on the political level has been of even far greater consequence. Starting at least with the Franklin D.

The New Dealers contained the broadest kind of list, ranging from Henry Morgenthau, Jr., Herbert Lehman, David Niles, and Samuel Rosenberg to Morris Ernst and Robert Nathan. Bernard Baruch played a unique role as adviser to five Presidents. David E. Lilienthal and Lewis H. Strauss were Chairmen of the Atomic Energy Commission. {end}

from Ben-Ami Shillony, The Jews and the Japanese, Charles E. Tuttle Company, Rutland Vermont, 1991.
{p. 190} Jewish scientists played a prominent role in the development of the atomic bomb. It was an Austrian Jewish woman physicist, Lise
{p. 191} Meitner, who first alerted allied scientists to the possibility of splitting the atom. ... In July 1939, two Hungarian Jewish physicists who had fled from the Nazis, Leo Szilard and Eugene Wigner, informed Albert Einstein, by then a refugee from the Nazis in the United States, that recent German successes in harnessing atomic energy could enable the Nazis to build an atomic bomb. They begged Einstein to urge the U. S. government to develop such a weapon before the Nazis did. ... The man who arranged the meetings between the scientists and the president was a Jewish banker and close friend of the president, Alexander Sachs. ...
Many Jewish scientists worked on the Manhattan project. The most famous of them was Robert Oppenheimer, director of the Los Alamos laboratory; the others included Leo Szilard, Niels Bohr, Otto Frisch, Eugene Rabinowitch, James Franck, Felix Bloch, and Edward Teller (who later developed the H-bomb).
{p. 192} The super weapon that Einstein and the other Jewish scientists had in mind was intended for use against Nazi Germany, not against Japan. ... after the surrender of Germany in May, 1945, Leo Szilard drafted a petition to President Truman, stating that although there had been justification for using the atomic bomb against Germany, there was no
{p. 193} justification for using it against Japan. ... In early June 1945, James Franck, Leo Szilard, Eugene Rabinowitch and others dispatched a report to Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, urging him not to drop the bomb on Japan.

(4.3) The Atomic Scientists of Chicago
From http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/e/spcl/chain.html:
... The Chain Reaction: December 2, 1942 and After
An Exhibition in the Department of Special Collections, University of Chicago Library October 1, 1992 - December 4, 1992
... This exhibition was organized to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the world's first controlled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction, an achievement of Enrico Fermi and his colleagues at the Metallurgical Laboratory at the University of Chicago. ...
1. The Chain Reaction
The University of Chicago is not only the site of the world's first self-sustaining nuclear reaction, but also one of the earliest and most influential centers of the atomic scientists' movement.
On December 2, 1942, scientists at the University of Chicago produced the world's first self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction ... This experiment, crucial to the control of nuclear fission, was one of several research projects at sites around the country, each concentrating on some task critical to production of an atomic bomb. All were administered by the U.S. Army under the code name of Manhattan Engineer District, or Manhattan Project. ...
2. The Atomic Scientists of Chicago
... Chicago scientists were particularly concerned about federal legislation, especially in regard to secrecy and military control in atomic research. Leo Szilard, who had come to Chicago from Columbia University in 1942, and who was an active member of the Franck Committee, outlined in early September a "platform for conversations" with members of Congress, signalling the key role which Chicago scientists were to play in congressional lobbying. By September 14, a Planning Committee was circulating a "Statement of Intent" for the association that was to organize itself officially a few days later as the Atomic Scientists of Chicago.
The May-Johnson Bill, introduced in Congress in early October, called for stringent security restrictions, failed to provide for the sharing of information with foreign countries {meaning the USSR?}, and granted a dominant role to the military, which galvanized scientists throughout the country. Fledgling organizations at several research sites began issuing press releases, writing to the War Department, and wiring members of Congress to point out the bill's shortcomings. John A. Simpson, chair of the executive committee of the Atomic Scientists of Chicago, joined William Higinbotham of the Los Alamos group in coordinating the Washington effort, notifying local organizations of critical turns of events, and attempting to channel the energies of eager scientists who appeared in the capital to volunteer. ...
3. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
Perhaps the most concrete demonstration of the commitment of the Chicago scientists to educate themselves and others, and the most enduring symbol of the scientists' movement as a whole, was the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. This publication was reputedly conceived in the unlikely setting of the Stineway Drug Store on 57th Street just east of the University of Chicago campus, where Eugene Rabinowitch, Hy Goldsmith, and social scientist Edward Shils met to drink coffee, discuss means of weighing issues, and share opinions in the atomic policy debate. On the basis of a proposal from Rabinowitch and Goldsmith, the Atomic Scientists of Chicago executive committee on November 24, 1945, authorized a newsletter with weekly committee reports, items from other site newsletters, and responsible statements as well as "terrible stuff" from the public press.
Goldsmith and Rabinowitch guided the enterprise, which had an almost immediate impact far beyond the Chicago area. Goldsmith, a physicist, had wide contacts outside the scientific community, something that set the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists apart fron other site newsletters; and Rabinowitch, a Russian-born biophysicist who had collaborated with James Franck at Goettingen in the early 1930s, was talented writer with a deep and longstanding concern about the bomb's practical and social implications. He had played a key role in formulating the Franck Coimmittee report and in the organiztion of the ASC.
The first issue of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists of Chicago appeared on December 10, 1945. ...

(4.4) Rabinowitch and Goldsmith
Two Jewish scientists, Eugene Rabinowitch and Hyman H. Goldsmith, created the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists: http://www.bullatomsci.org/.
Rabinowitch's biography is at http://library.albany.edu/speccoll/findaids/ger075.htm. It reads:
{quote} Eugene I. Rabinowitch was born on April 27, 1901 at St. Petersburg, ... attended the University of Berlin ... With the rise of the Nazi Party in the early 1930s, Jews, such as Rabinowitch, were expelled from their university posts. ... Rabinowitch ... went first to Copenhagen to work with Neils Bohr at the Institute of Theoretical Physics. ...
In June 1945 Rabinowitch and physicist Leo Szilard authored a memorandum, which became known as the Franck Report. The memorandum, which argued against the military use of the atomic bomb ... the Franck Report is one of the earliest statements of the Concerned Scientists Movement of the 1940s and 1950s. ... Rabinowitch was an early leader in both the Movement and the educational effort, co-founding with Hyman Goldsmith the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. As the editor-in-chief for more than twenty years Rabinowitch maintained the Bulletin's quality and independence as a forum for discussion of scientific issues with social and political implications. ...
Rabinowitch's interest in public policy and political affairs was demonstrated in 1955, when he helped to organize the international forum, which became known as the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs.
Eugene I. Rabinowitch Papers
... Series 2: BULLETIN OF THE ATOMIC SCIENTISTS, 1945-1972 The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (BAS) was begun in December 1945 by Eugene Rabinowitch and Hyman H. Goldsmith. Originally called the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists of Chicago, it served as a newsletter for the Atomic Scientists of Chicago. In 1946 the name was changed to its present form. The Bulletin started "as a means of calling public attention to the perils of atomic energy and the urgent need for its control by a civilian agency."

(4.6) The Baruch Plan was certainly supported by Oppenheimer, and seemingly by Bohr. Was Oppenheimer on BOTH sides of the fence? Such scientists saw themselves as working, not for America or Russia, but for a World Authority based on universalist principles, which transcended national loyalty. If they were somewhat blind to Jewish domination in creating the USSR (ginsberg.html), or harshness in running the Cheka, this is comparable to white Americans' blindness to their invasion of indigenous Americans, despite the United States' universal principles.
The sense seems to be that, from the Jewish point of view, both East and West had "Jewish" and "Christian" factions. If "Jewish" factions got power in both the East and West blocks at the same time, they might form a World Government. That's why, whatever Stalin's sins, one might be thankful that he, not Trotsky, was in power. The struggle between the two factions within the USSR led to Stalin's murder in 1953, and arguably to the fall of the Soviet Union: death-of-stalin.html.
Probably Oppenheimer & Bohr saw the "Christians" (i.e. anti-communists) as their main enemy; sharing secrets with Stalin was a way of working against them. After WWII was over, they did not need Stalin so much, and could dare to assert supremacy, in the hope that he might agree, & their long-cherished dream come about.
(4.7) The very people who created the atomic bomb were the ones telling us we needed World Government because of the danger. Some of them had even shared the bomb with the Soviet Union, inadvertently creating the arms race.
They were right in a way - competition could destroy the planet; but had World Government been granted on their terms, they and their allies would have been in a position of great power, able to dominate the world. Can they therefore claim altruism as their motive?
Was the Baruch Plan an offer by those who had the bomb to relinquish control of it? Or were they trying to use their monopoly to extend their hegemony over the whole world?
A key feature of the Baruch Plan discussions was an insistence that the Permanent Members of the Security Council give up their Veto power; such a demand is still made today by the One-World lobby, as then associated with high finance. Then Baruch, today Soros.
Gorbachev bought their "One World" line; but look what they did to the Soviet Union: soros.html. When they threatened to intervene in Chechnya as they had in Kosovo, Yeltsin reminded them that Russia still had a full nuclear arsenal. Perhaps that's why the American government wants its "missile-defence" system: so that it can intervene anywhere at will ... in the name of "Human Rights".
The West's betrayal of Russia after the Cold War shows that it cannot be trusted.
(5) Major Jordan, Atomic Shipments to USSR, Baruch Plan, & Convergence to World Government- a discussion with Phil Eversoul
Phil Eversoul was an American Jew who broke with Jewry and spilled the beans. 'Eversoul' is a pseudonym he used to guard his privacy. He joined Kevin MacDonald's forum, but was, after some time, ostracized there. He introduced himself this way:
'My name is Philip Podolner Eversoul. Call me Phil. "Podolner" is my family name; I believe it comes from the area known as Podolia, where my father's family came from. I'm a third generation American. My mother's parents came from an area near Pinsk, in a shtetl called "Motele" or "Motel." It happen to be the town where Chaim Weizmann was born. About 28 years ago I took the name "Eversoul" as a sign of my spiritual rebirth, as a son of God through the spirit that Jesus bestowed on us after he departed. Now, I'm not Christian. [...] The main point I want to make here is that the God of Jesus is the loving Father of Heaven, and NOT the Talmudic-rabbinic Jehovah. Jehovah, imo, is a bloodthirsty genocidal demon-god more accurately known as Moloch. This Jehovah is not worthy of respect by any decent person, and yet he is, officially, the god of the Jews. Jehovah is the core of Judaism. Christianity is the attempt to harmonize the mission of Jesus with Jehovah, i.e., to combine the rabbinic version of the Old Testament with the apostolic version of the New Testament. The truth is that Jesus and Jehovah are absolutely incompatible, and therefore Christianity is based on a profound error. This error finds its highest expression in Paul's doctrine of the atonement. This error also makes Christianity inherently unstable and contradictory, and under the assaults, through the centuries, of the Jewish-Masonic alliance, Christianity has collapsed as a world power. [...] So where does this put me? In a very strange and difficult position. I'm a recovering Jew, so to speak, now a follower of Jesus, supporting a white nationalism in a country that used to be based on white nationalism but that no longer exists.'
I always valued his opinion, and had many productive discussions with him. The best of them are at letters.html.

Re: your article in Rense:
Zionist Plans For World Government - 1946 / 2-22-4 and the Baruch Plan.
Have you read the book by Major George Racy Jordan that shows that in 1943-44 Roosevelt shipped all the atomic bomb plans and all the materials used in the Manhattan Project to Stalin via Siberia? This was under the charge of Harry Hopkins. Major Jordan kept a copy of the invoices and shipping records. Solid evidence.
If you have read it, what do you think of it?
REPLY (Peter M):
Phil,
Yes, I have it somewhere. {see http://www.sweetliberty.org/issues/wars/jordan/01.html}
I can't recall the details, e.g. whether it says Roosevelt knew about it, or to what extent Hopkins knew the details.
Jordan's allegations relate to the perid when World War II was still raging. Defeating Nazi Germany was seen as the top priority, and the USSR treated as a full ally, especially as it was doing most of the fighting.
There was no perception, at the time, that the Cold War would soon break out.
When it did, it was at the urging not only of the Far Right, who had opposed the USSR all along as the greatest danger, but also of the Neo-Cons of the time, who had been Trotskyists, such as James Burnham. I would also place Arthur Koestler in the Trotskyist camp, because he combined moderate Zionism with Communism. A number of such Marxist Anti-Communists joined the CIA at the forefront of the Cold War, as Frances Stonor Saunders shows in her book Who Paid the Piper? The CIA and the Cultural Cold War: cia-infiltrating-left.html.
If you consider the Baruch Plan of 1946, here you find many of those who helped the USSR get nuclear weapons supporting a plan to "internationalize" the bomb, i.e. place it in the hands of a "World Government" body.
Bertrand Russell even said that the West should threaten war if the USSR did not comply.
It is arguable that the international body would have been under US control. Yet, many of those backing the proposal, in the "advertisement" that appeared in the Bulletin of the Scientists, were scientists who helped the USSR get the bomb.
The "advertisement" - March 1, 1946, back page - is about a book called "One World Or None". Authors include Bohr, Oppenheimer, Szilard, Einstein, & Walter Lippmann: bas460301-back-page.jpg.
The One World Or None report is at one-world-or-none.html.

As a follow-up to the note I just sent you about Major Jordan, it strikes me that Stalin's rejection of the Baruch Plan was probably the major cause of the Cold War and the major reason that Stalin and communism suddenly and inexplicably became "bad" after years of the most favorable publicity under Roosevelt.
This would then explain a pro-capitalist, pro-West Trotskyist revival among Jewish Marxists. I wonder if it's too far-fetched to call the Cold War "Trotsky's revenge".
REPLY (Peter M):
Phil,
Those scientists I mentioned preferred Stalin to Hitler, but probably had preferred Trotsky (then dead, of course) to Stalin.
Their motive seems not to have been pro-American; for example, Ilya Ehrenberg wrote that Einstein lambasted the US for its treatment of blacks: einstein.html.
Nor were they pro-Stalin, except in so far as he was the defeater of Hitler.
So they belong to the Convergence camp.
Stalin refused Convergence, but Gorbachev was all for it: convergence.html.
Wilson's 14 Points were also a Convergence program; it gave thoughtful Germans the idea of a different goal to fight for: World Unity. But after surrendering in 1918, the Germans found that they'd been betrayed, just as the Russians found after 1991.
Kennedy put a Convergence program to Khruschev too: disarmament down to the police level.
Yet Kennedy was later assassinated. Perhaps that is evidence of two competing internationalisms - the Rhodes-CFR-moderate Zionist one (which promoted the Peace Plan in the Middle East) and the expansionist Zionist one.
This can be seen as a struggle over whether the centre of power will be Washington or Jerusalem.
Similarly, there was a struggle between Moscow and Jerusalem as rival centres of socialism; this is the context of the murder of Stalin: death-of-stalin.html.
George Soros - representing the moderate faction - recently upset the Jewish Funders Network - the pro-Sharon faction - with his remarks that Sharon's policies were the cause of increased "Anti-Semitism": http://www.jfunders.org/news/news.htm.

Hopkins was in charge of this mission. There is no reason to think he did not do it at Roosevelt's behest. But there is no explicit evidence of this, because there was no way for Jordan to know about the intrigues in Washington.

True, but there was no way to tell the American people that our top secret atomic technology was going to be sent to the Soviet Union. What this moves also clearly says is that the USA and the USSR were going to merge their political systems -- otherwise, you do not give away your most essential and powerful technology. This is what the Reece Commission found out a few years later (about 1954, I think) in its investigation of American foundations, you may recall. The goal of the top American foundations, like the Ford Foundation, was to assist this merger of the Soviet and American systems.
> There was no perception, at the time,
> that the Cold War would soon break out.
Yes, exactly. Stalin was "good." Suddenly he became "bad." That is what I call the mystery of the Cold War. However, your explanation of the Baruch Plan's rejection by Stalin goes a long way towards explaining the mystery.
> When it did, it was at the urging
> not only of the Far Right,
Whoa there. What you are calling the "Far Right" was simply the American Right that had always existed -- the people who were anti-United Nations, anti-interventionist, anti- big government, and believers in America First, meaning simply enlightened national self-interest. Once the Republicans of the East Coast redefined themselves as internationalists and pro-United Nations after WWII, the original American Right was scorned (on the East Coast, anyway) as "paleoconservative." From East Coast Republican internationalist to pro-Israel "neoconservative" was a small jump, assisted by such as William Buckley. The original American Right was left in the dust, to be championed later, although in a compromised way, by such as Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan.
> who had opposed the USSR all along
> as the greatest danger,
Yes, but remember also that the Old Right (as I would prefer to call them) had lost national political power with the ascension of Roosevelt, and they never regained it in the post-war years. The East Coast "liberal and moderate" Right saw to that. The Old Right, therefore, never had the political power to declare and launch the Cold War, although they certainly supported it.
This was part of the mystery of the Cold War: the Old Right, those who truly detested communism, never had the political power to make post-war anti-communist policy. And in fact, the post-war American anti-communist policy was quite insincere and fake, for under this policy, the communist world continued to make immense gains, especially in China as well as Eastern Europe. The communist conquest of China would have been impossible without the assistance of American (and British) policy, for it was based on the abandoning of Chiang Kai-Shek. And the communist conquest of Eastern Europe meant the abandoning of Poland, for whose sake, supposedly, the West declared war on Germany. Later, there was the anti-communist Hungarian revolution, which the West betrayed.
I believe that the war in Viet Nam was also set up to be a failure for the West and a victory for the communists. As Roosevelt said, "If something happens in politics, you can bet it was planned that way." The immense failure of the West in Viet Nam was too big not to be part of a deliberate plan, and this plan was consistent with the way the entire Cold War was handled: the West loses ground, the communists gain ground. Almost every time. Therefore, the West must merge with communism. Result: tyrannical world government.
Since communism had always received its primary funding, capital, and technology from the West (as we saw with Sutton), there was no way for communism to achieve all those Cold War victories without Western betrayal. That is what is the most sickening part of it, not the losses themselves.
For the most part, the Cold War was a series of successes by the communists and failures by the West. This was no accident. It was planned that way to try to make the West accede to a "compromise" and eventual merger with communism, thereby achieving the World Government that was the holy grail.

Yes. The driving forces of the Cold War, from the Western side, were the anti-Stalinist forces, which were far more extensive than merely the Old Right, which was out of power and on the decline. You might call it the Marxist, socialist, liberal establishment neo-conservative "Right," as contrasted with any pro-Stalinist forces. But again, this opposition to Stalinism, as it expressed itself in America, was (except for the Old Right) insincere and wishy-washy.
It is a fact that Joseph McCarthy showed (and he has been vindicated by the Venona revelations) that there was a strong pro-Stalinist communist underground in America. The Rosenberg spy case was evidence of this. The pro-Stalinist espionage and propaganda movements in America were protected by the highest levels of the American East Coast Establishment, and this is the real reason McCarthy had to be demonized and destroyed, not because he was on a "witchhunt" or because he was some sort of fascist demagogue. It was the Eisenhower Administration, acting on behalf of the East Coast Establishment, that was determined to destroy McCarthy, for McCarthy was on the verge of showing that the super-rich Eastern capitalists -- the Lodges, the Bundies, the Rockefellers -- were in fact supporters of communism. That was McCarthy's true "sin." In American of the 1950s, such a revelation would have been earth-shattering. In our day, with the disappearance of mainstream American opposition to communism and socialism such as was prevalent in the 1950s, and the current acceptance of cultural Marxism, nobody bats an eye at capitalist-communist cooperation, as in China. Times have changed.
My own take on this is that, whereas the American-Soviet cooperation had to be largely secret, in order not to offend American mainstream opinion, the American-Chinese cooperation is openly admitted. Even the massacres at Tien-Amin Square made hardly a dent. George Bush, Sr saw to that. Too much trade was at stake.

Yes. That was indeed the plan, the way to establish the World Government. Nuclear fear. Surrender your freedom or risk nuclear war. Better red than dead, said Bertrand Russell. It was nuclear intimidation to make us surrender all our rights and freedoms. Again, the communists would have had no nuclear weapons at all, but for the West. That was the plan.
> Bertrand Russell even said that the West
> should threaten war if the USSR did not comply.
I didn't know that, but it makes sense, for that would have meant that Stalin was messing up the plan. Maybe we should all thank Stalin for preserving our freedom from tyrannical world government, at least for a while longer.
> It is arguable that the international body
> would have been under US control.
No, I don't think so, at least not more than 50-50. The communists were given huge enticements and powers to make them join. For example, in the Korean War, one of the communist functionaries at the UN knew all of the military plans of the United States, by the way the UN was designed --the Korean War was a UN operation -- and he relayed those plans to Stalin and Mao. MacArthur had to be pretty good to fight off the Chinese, the North Koreans, and the UN back-stabbers. (And by the way, MacArthur didn't trust Eisenhower in Korea, thought he was a poor general, and sent him away). Ultimately, Truman had to fire MacArthur to prevent him from achieving victory, in defiance of policy. Defeats of communism were not part of the plan.

Yes, nuclear intimidation to make us "merge" with communism. Urged upon us from within. The betrayal of civilization is always from within. It's not the external enemy. It's the fact that our own supposed leaders are working hand in glove with the enemy. And we don't know it, because of media control.
REPLY (Peter M):
James Burnham wrote, in his book The Struggle For the World, published in 1947, that the Third World War (the Cold War) began in April 1944, when communist Greek sailors unsuccessfully mounted a minor mutiny. Another incident was the struggle between Mao and Chiang Kai-Chek, which resumed just after the Red Army evicted the Kwantung Army from Manchuria in the space of 2 weeks. A third was the Soviet Union's settling up of a "little red army" in Iran.
Burnham's argument is that these three events happened while the USSR & the West were still allied in World War II. Since they fly in the face of that alliance, Burnham argues that they are part of the Cold War.
I think that he is back-dating things somewhat.
With regards to the Greek sailors, Burnham attributes their rebellion to Comintern headquarters in the Soviet Union. This is drawing a long bow; Stalin & co. would have been too much absorbed by winning World War II, to bother stirring up rebellion in the West at that time.
As for Mao's conflict with Chiang, China's civil war had been going on for years; it was suspended during the Japanese occupation, but its resumption was not part of the Cold War. If it was, then the Cold War began much earlier, when China's civil war began.
If Burnham had really believed, in April 1944, that the Third World War had broken out, he would have written his book then. Instead, it was written & published in 1947; which makes sense if we date the start of the Cold War to 1946.
The Cold War can hardly be dated to before the Baruch Plan, since that Plan was for an alliance - a World Government - which would not make sense if the two were already enemies.
However, the publication of Bertrand Russell's threatening article shows that the alliance must have been at the point of breaking: bas461001-p21.jpg.

Pavel Sudoplatov wrote in Special Tasks : The Memoirs Of An Unwanted Witness - A Soviet Spymaster (Little, Brown and Company, London, 1995 paperback edition):
{p. 172} The most vital information for developing the first Soviet atomic bomb came from scientists engaged in the Manhattan Project to build the American atomic bomb - Robert Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi, and Leo Szilard.
{p. 207} Bohr had sent official confirmation to the Soviet Embassy that he would meet with a delegation and now he realized that the delegation contained both a scientist and an intelligence officer.
... Bohr readily explained to Terletsky the problems Fermi had at the University of Chicago putting the first nuclear reactor into operation, and he made valuable suggestions that enabled us to overcome our failures. Bohr pointed to a place on a drawing Terletsky showed him and said, "That's the trouble spot." This meeting was essential to starting the Soviet reactor, and we accomplished that feat in December 1946. (See Appendix Seven.)
... After our reactor was put into operation in 1946, Beria issued orders to stop all contacts with our American sources in the Manhattan Project; the FBI was getting close to uncovering some of our agents. Beria said we should think how to use Oppenheimer, Fermi, Szi-
{p. 208} lard, and others around them in the peace campaign against nuclear armament. Disarmament and the inability to impose nuclear blackmail would deprive the United States of its advantage. We began a worldwide political campaign against nuclear superiority, which kept up until we exploded our own nuclear bomb, in 1949.
{p. 221} The conventional wisdom is that the Cold War started with Winston Churchill's "iron curtain" speech in Fulton, Missouri, on March 6, 1946, but for us, confrontation with the Western allies had begun when the Red Army liberated Eastern Europe. The conflict of interest was evident. The principle agreed upon with Roosevelt at Yalta, providing for multiparty elections, was acceptable to us only for the transition period after the defeat of Germany, while the fate of Eastern Europe was in the balance.

Bohr was one of the scientists promoting the Baruch Plan.
In their book One World Or None (1946), about half the authors are Jewish: Bohr, Oppenheimer, Szilard, Einstein, Harold Urey and Walter Lippmann: one-world-or-none.html.
Lippmann's was the biggest article. Of him, Carroll Quigley wrote in Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time (Macmillan, New York, 1966):
{p. 939} This new recruit, Walter Lippmann, has been, from 1914 to the present, the authentic spokesman in American journalism for the Establishments on both sides of the Atlantic in international affairs. His biweekly columns, which appear in hundreds of American papers, are copyrighted by the New York Herald Tribune which is now owned by J. H. Whitney. It was these connections, as a link between Wall Street and the Round Table Group, which gave Lippmann the opportunity in 1918, while still in his twenties, to be the official interpreter of the meaning of Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points to the British government." {endquote}
Quigley also has considerable material on the origin of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, and on the 1946 Baruch Plan (as a supporter): tragedy.html.
He wrote there:
{p. 893} The most critical example of the Soviet refusal to cooperate and of its insistence on relapsing into isolation, secrecy, and terrorism is to be found in its refusal to join in American efforts to harness the dangerous powers of nuclear fission. [...]
At Chicago seven of the agitated scientists, led by James Franck of Gottingen (Nobel Prize, 1925) and including Szilard and Eugene Rabinowitch, sent another warning letter to Washington. They forecast the terror of a nuclear arms race which would follow use of the bomb against Japan. Later, in July 1945, they presented a petition seeking an international demonstration and international control of the new weapon. Szilard obtained sixty-seven signatures to this petition before it was blocked by General Groves and Arthur Compton, using military secrecy as an excuse. After Hiroshima this group formed the Association of Atomic Scientists, later reorganized as the Federation of Atomic Scientists, whose Bulletin (BAS) has been the greatest influence and source of information on all matters concerned with the political and social impact of nuclear weapons. The editor of this amazing new periodical was Eugene Rabinowitch.
The energetic lobbying of this group of atomic scientists had a considerable influence on subsequent atomic history. When the "official
{p. 894} scientists," late in 1945, supported the administration's May-Johnson bill, which would have shared domestic control of atomic matters with the armed services, the BAS group mobilized public opinion behind the junior senator from Connecticut, Brian McMahon, and pushed through the McMahon bill to presidential signature in August 1946. The McMahon bill set up an Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) of five full-time civilian commissioners, named by the President, with David Lilienthal, former TVA czar, as chairman. This commission, from August 1946, had ownership and control of all fissionable materials (uranium and thorium) from the mine to the final disposal of atomic wastes, including control of all plants and process patents, with the right to license private nuclear enterprises free of danger to society.
The AEC as it functioned was a disappointment to the BAS scientists. They had sought freedom from military influence and reduced emphasis on the military uses of nuclear fission, free dissemination of theoretical research, and a diminution of the influence of the official scientists. They failed on all these points, as the AEC operated largely in terms of weapons research and production, remained extravagantly secretive even on purely theoretical matters, and was, because of the scientific ignorance of most of the commissioners, inevitably dominated by its scientific advisory committee of "official" scientists led by Oppenheimer.
To the BAS group and to a wider circle of nonscientists, the AEC was a more or less temporary organization within the United States, whose work would be taken over eventually by a somewhat similar international organization. As a first step in this direction, the United Nations, at the suggestion of Bush and Conant and on the joint invitation of three heads of English-speaking governments (President Truman, Prime Minister Attlee, and Prime Minister Mackenzie King of Canada), set up a United Nations Atomic Energy Commission (UNAEC) of all members of the Security Council plus Canada (January 1946). A State Department committee led by Undersecretary Dean Acheson and David Lilienthal and a second committee of citizens led by Bernard Baruch spent much of 1946 in the monstrous task of trying to work out some system of international control of nuclear energy {ed. comment: but as an instrument of World Government, as described by many articles in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.} The task of educating the nonscientists generally fell on Oppenheimer, who gave dozens of his brilliant, extemporaneous, chalk-dusted lectures on nuclear physics. The final plan, presented to the UN by Baruch on June 14, 1946, provided an international control body similar to the AEC. It would own, control, or license all uranium from the mine through processing and use, with operation of its own nuclear facilities throughout the world, inspection of all other such facilities, absolute prohibition of nuclear bombs or diversion of nuclear materials to nonpeaceful purposes, and punishment for evasion or violation of its regulations free from the Great Power veto which normally operated in the Security Council of UN. The vital point in Baruch's plan
{p. 895} was that it would go into effect by stages so that inspection and monopoly of nuclear materials would be operative before the American atomic plants were handed over to the new international agency and before the American stockpile of nuclear bombs was dismantled. This extraordinary offer, an offer to give up the American nuclear monopoly, technical secrets, and weapons to an international agency, in return for a possibly ineffective system of international inspection, was brusquely rejected by Andrei Gromyko on behalf of the Soviet Union within five days. The Soviet spokesman demanded instead a reverse sequence of stages covering (1) immediate outlawing and destruction of all nuclear weapons, with prohibition of their manufacture, possession, or use; (2) a subsequent agreement for exchange of information, peaceful use of atomic energy, and enforcement of regulations; and (3) no tampering whatever with the Great Power veto in the UN. Since only the United States had the atom bomb at the time, the adoption of this sequence could require the United States to give up the bomb without any assurance that anyone else would do anything, least of all adopt any subsequent control methods, methods which might allow the Soviet Union to make its own bombs in secret after the United States had destroyed its in publie. The nature of this Soviet suggestion shows elearly that the Soviet Union had no real desire for international eontrol, probably beeause it was unwilling to open the secret life of the Soviet Union, including bomb-making, to international inspection.
The Soviet refusal of the American efforts at international nuclear control, like their refusal of American loans and eeonomic cooperation, provides some of the evidence of the Kremlin's state of mind in 1946. This evidence became overwhelming in 1947 and 1948, when Soviet aggression appeared along the whole crescent from Germany, across Asia, to the Far East.
{end Quigley quote}
But the international body would be controlled by the Anglo-American Establishment. Even though the USA was promising to give up the bomb, the USSR would be kept in a subordinate position by its loss of the veto power. The United States would be able to dictate terms. Quigley omits to mention that it also functioned as a plan for World Government, as discussed in the pages of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, and as described by Bertrand Russell in his book Has Man a Future?: russell2.html.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists was edited by Eugene Rabinowitch and H. H. Goldsmith. Both appear to be Jewish.

The Achievements of the American Jewish Community: Four Fruits of Freedom
... A fourth area which owes a great deal to Jewish enterprise in America is our scientific development. Included are, of course, the great Albert Einstein who was voted Man of the Century at the beginning of this year. His achievements in physics and the achievements of Neils Bohr, Edwin Teller, Leo Szilard, James Franck, Eugene Rabinowitch, Hy Goldsmith, Hans Bethe, Harold Urey and J. Robert Oppenheimer, administrator of the atomic bomb project, make it possible to say that the atomic bomb was a Jewish invention and that the atomic age was introduced to the world by Jews. What is true of this country is also true of Russia. The Russian atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb were also invented by Jewish physicists. {endquote}
James Burnham broke with Trotsky in 1939/40 and became a leading Anti-Communist. Trotsky's book In Defence of Marxism is a refutation of Burnham and the other rebels in his Fourth International; published in 1942, it must be about the last book Trotsky wrote. I have a copy.

On face value, yes, but UK/ US (just as with Hussein in Iraq) never had any intention of coopeating with the SU after the defeat of Hitler. Churchill was a rabid anti-communist and said he would make a pact with the devil himself to defeat Hitler. The game the UK/ US played with Hussein (a confirmed Stalinist) was almost identical - sanctions, 'fly-overs', subversion, coddling of dissidents... The only difference is that they could actually invade Iraq without setting off a world war, so they finally did.

Not true! The plans to dump the alliance were just waiting for the end of the war. There's lots of anecdotal evidence by memoirists that I've read - people who became enthusiastic supporters of 'detente' during the war and were shocked when they heard cynical views about how this was only temporary. I don't have urls but I remember reading them back in the '80s.
re convergence, there was no possibility of convergence with Stalin given the extensive overt use of terror and the US imperial hubris, but there certainly was under Khushchev, and Kennedy soon realized it was the best alternative for peaceful development of both sides, but he was quickly assassinated.
This makes me think that the ongoing conspiracy (zio/ capitalist - whatever) was not interested in the reformed neoStalinist SU OR the Kennedy-run US. Kennedy was not actively part of the conspiracy, just as Kh wasn't. Kennedy was the last US prez to fight the zios, and he suffered for it. We must be careful not to take the conspiracy argument to the nth degree just because it looks elegant. History and politics are inherently messy and confusing.

I don't know what "Rhodes-CFR-moderate Zionist one (which promoted the Peace Plan in the Middle East)" means. Can you explain?
{See, for example, Barry Chamish on the CFR or "British" conspiracy. The CFR took the unusual step of publishing a book against Jewish Fundamentalism, by Ian S.Lustick: http://www.sas.upenn.edu/penncip/lustick/}
I think the planned Kennedy-Khushchev detente would have been a third 'internationalism'. Any ideas? How about a Washington-Moscow center CONTROLLING the zios? It might have been possible before '67. The wild zio euphoria and the radical shift of US Jews to reactionary support of Greater Israel really only began after that.

Eastern Europe?? You mean immediately after the war. But this Soviet occupation did not take root and it was only a matter of time before it collapsed. I'm sure the CIA was smart enough at least to see THAT. It simply was not worth risking a nuclear war to 'liberate' EEurope when it would come of its own accord soon enough.
As for China, the US-China rapprochement was only possible because of Mao's rabid anti-SU grudge. To call China under Tsao Ping and today 'communist' is nonsense. It is simply a capitalist dictatorship.

Is nothing sacred?! You take conspiracy to the n+1 th degree. It loses its meaning.
The tyrannical world government doesn't need such a huge conspiracy to come about. It is the logical result of capitalism gobbling everything up. Don't throw the SU/ Vietnam attempts to thwart capitalism/ imperialism out with the bathwater.

A nice fantasy. It was a handful of mostly idealistic Jews whose first loyalty was to the communist rev, and only secondarily to the creation of a (communist) Israel.

Hmmm. The info was always there. If grandaddy Bush's enthusiastic support of Hitler right through the war could be kept under wraps, surely this collusion in building the SU (to make profit, just as Bush wanted to do cooperating with the nazis, without being a true-blue nazi) could be kept from the public. The media has always been the tool of the corporate rich.

Truman had to fire MacArthur because he f*&^d up royally and almost got the 'UN' force wiped out by going too far and provoking the Chinese.

The betrayal of civilization is always from within. It's not the external enemy. YES. But it's not "our own supposed leaders are working hand in glove with the enemy", unless you mean the 'enemy' to be capitalism!

(6) Lord Victor Rothschild's involvement with the Peace Movement and Israel's Nuclear Bomb
Roland Perry, The Fifth Man (Pan Books, London, 1994):
{p. xxi} The Fifth Man was Nathaniel Mayer Victor Rothschild (1910 to 1990), better known as the third Lord Rothschild. He was the British head of the famous banking dynasty ...
{p. 221} Months after Israel was formed, Rothschild was involved with Chaim Weizmann in setting up a special nuclear physics department
{p. 222} in a scientific institute in Rehovoth. The establishment was named after Weizmann, the nation's first president and himself a distinguished biochemist.
Its aim even in those heady days of 1948 was to build nuclear weapons for Israel. It became the nation's best kept secret and the most fervent desire of the new nation's founders. They never wanted their race to be threatened with another Holocaust. Atomic weapons would be the ultimate deterrent to future Hitlers.
Yet when the idea for an Israeli bomb was first conceived, the Soviet Union was still a year away from its own first trial blast. The Russians were expecting to detonate, literally after seven years hard labour, when it should have taken perhaps a century of normal research. They had thrown enormous resources, thousands of scientists and strong spy networks at the problem. Israel would have to copy that approach from a standing start. It had limited resources and a trickle of Jewish technicians. But it did have espionage networks.
The dream of an Israeli bomb was ambitious indeed, but it spurred Rothschild to keep abreast of all things nuclear so he could pass on data to the Weizmann Institute, which was planning a nuclear reactor at Dimona in the Negev Desert. Under a modified guise of concern about the spread and dangers of nuclear weapons, he was able to keep contact with appropriate scientists around the world. He began this official and legitimate process at the end of the Second World War by becoming an expert on fallout, which allowed him to monitor the Manhattan project. He continued in the 1950s, even on occasions attending informal conferences on controlling nuclear weapons held by leading British atomic scientists, who were beginning to comprehend and assess their creation.
The Dane, Niels Bohr, had stimulated consciences post-war by arguing that nuclear matters belonged to an 'open world', with which the Russians - desperate to build a nuclear arsenal - agreed wholeheartedly. He had plenty of support from the scientific community in the US too, but Washington was never going to support 'the free interchange of ideas' with those dangerous Russians, even if it had nothing to do with detail about bomb technology.
Bohr's idea was taken up by mathematician and philosopher, Bertrand Russell, Albert Einstein and the British Atomic Scientists
{p. 223} Association, many of whose members Rothschild knew well. They set up their first conference at Pugwash, Nova Scotia, in 1955.
Rothschild assiduously kept contact with the key organizers so that his involvement always seemed natural.
Correspondence with Russell in early 1955 was typical:
Dear Russell, I would like to present the manuscript of your recent broadcast dealing with the Hydrogen Bomb to Trinity. Can you suggest any way in which I might acquire it? Yours Sincerely, Rothschild
The so-called Pugwash Conferences emerged as the scientists' response to the arms race between the US, USSR, China, Britain and France, and the dangers of fallout.
Scientists from twenty-two nations turned up and problems concerned with peace and the impact of atomic weapons on humankind were discussed. Rothschild later floated ideas about how to harness the nuclear genie for 'peaceful purposes' and not war. He urged the idea of breeder reactors for energy, of which he was a long-term supporter. What he avoided mentioning was the ease with which breeder reactors could be adapted to extract weapons-grade nudear fuel.
Everything he learnt ended up at the Weizmann Institute, which was in part his creation. (His secret support of it with information and finance was rewarded publicly in 1962 when he was made an Honorary Fellow of the Institute.)
Rothschild was not a technician like Klaus Fuchs. He could not create the weaponry for Israel. But he could inform its Intelligence leaders (with whom he was very dose as an important, secret member of Mossad) which scientists might be helpful, where the available technology might be and how it might be obtained and funded.
The Israelis sounded out several possibilities. In 1956, Shimon Peres, then director of the Defence Ministry under Moshe Dayan, had many meetings with ministers in Guy Mollet's French socialist government as they prepared for the Suez Canal operation. The French, British and Israelis planned to wrest back the Canal from President Nasser of Egypt, who had nationalized it.
{p. 224} Peres first gained the trust of the French, then he struck a deal with Defence Minister, Bourges Maunoury. In return for Israel's help over the Suez Canal, in which it would make the initial attack on Egyptian defences, the French promised to consider supplying nuclear plants at Dimona. Israel carried out its part at Suez, and fortuitously Maunoury replaced Mollet as prime minister. Maunoury and his foreign minister signed a top-secret agreement with Peres and Asher Ben-Natan, a Mossad agent at Israel's Defence Ministry.
In it, the French promised to supply a powerful 24-megawatt reactor, the technical know-how to run it, and some uranium. The secret deal was only known to about a dozen individuals, induding Rothschild, and with good reason. The fine print of the document allowed for the inclusion of equipment whidh would permit the Israelis to produce weapons-grade nuclear fuel.
In 1957, French engineers began building the two-storey reactor facility at Dimona on the edge of the Negev Desert, which secretly went down six levels below ground. The subterranean construction would be the place where nuclear weapons would be built. With several Mossad officers in attendance, the engineers also dug an 80-foot deep crater in the sand. In it they buried Machon 2 - a unit whidh would allow the Israelis to extract weapons grade plutonium, the fuel for the bomb. ...

(7) The Mission of the Jew, by DAVID ELI LILLIENTHAL (should be 'Lilienthal')
Written by the young David Lilienthal in 1918; expresses a Jewish Mission to unite humanity.
The Sentinel
08/03/1918 (i.e. August 3, 1918)
{The News-Sentinel was an afternoon newspaper at Fort Wayne, Indiana}
The Mission of the Jew
By DAVID ELI LILLIENTHAL (sic; should be 'Lilienthal')
(Editor's Note At the Indiana State Oratorical Contest held last Friday night, February 22, at Indianapolis, the prize was awarded to David E. Lillienthal, a student at DePaul University, who spoke on "The Mission of the Jew," reprinted below. The leading collegiate orator of Indiana is only 19 years old. His parents live at Michigan City, Indiana.)
The most baffling fact in history is the Jew. Through the centuries he has fronted mankind as the enigma of the world. And he remains today the abiding mystery. His nationality destroyed, he persists an international community; his scattered lineage persecuted even unto death, he endures the one united clan from antiquity; his mission though obsolete, he stands today amid world-convulsions, the medium of themes mightier than his clan.
His dark chronicle runs like a "legend of the dead"; for it is not a blending of defeat and victory, but rather one of cumulative vanquishment. Beholding his country alive with pagan foes; treading the slave-path to the land of the conqueror; prostituting his high powers to servile fawning in heathen courts; suffering exile ages old, he became at last a people without a country, doomed to play the role of a despised wanderer, a perpetual "world tragedy."
But the Jew turns confidently from his story of endless death to his miraculous deliverance as evidence of an unfulfilled mission. His persistence is the miracle of time. History, we say, pictures the rise and fall of nations; yet the Jew, though flung afar, remains. Singing in the midnight watches of Egyptian bondage; building cities to the pride of hated kings; enduring the horrors of the Spanish inquisition; moaning amid the bloody scourgings of Germany; cringing before the anathemas of Italy, France, and England; accumulating wealth only to be plundered by the Russian through burnings, crucifixions, tortures inflicted even in the name of Christ, through all his bleak tragedy the Jew remains the paradox of the world!
No less amazing than his lurid history and survival is the invincible faith of the Jew. Through calamity, enslavement, butchery, his faith has endured. Nations have waned; philosophies given place to larger truth; religions declined; yet through all the years of change the Jew has continued breathing out across the world his prayer, "This year we still are slaves; next year may we be free!" Faith fathers religion'; so from the Jew have sprung two mighty sects, Judaism and Christianity. And these religions live, as lives the spirit of their Book and of their Prophets. Other sacred scripts have withered before scientific investigation; but the Bible of the Jew' stands out, the Book of Books, immutable, indestructible! Prophets, too, of other peoples have arisen, proclaiming redemption, only to have their spell melt away. Yet, today, upon the commandments of the prophet Moses rests all jurisprudence; with the songs of the Jewish psalmist-prophet David over five hundred million souls offer incense of prayer; and the Christian world falls in adoration at the feet of the Galilean prophet, Jesus the Jew!
One of the most pitiful victims of this orgy of blood is the Jew! More than seven million of the clan trapped in the "crater of a volcano!" From the west came the Hun; from the east the vengeful Cossack; from the south the greedy Austrian. Tortured, robbed, herded into synagogues and there burned alive! Jewish women stripped in the public square, violated, then butchered ! That is the ghastly picture of the Eastern War Zone. Six million Belgians ravaged by one army, and England flies to arms! Seven million Jews outraged by three armies and no defender! Why? "They were Jews!" I know the senseless prejudice in that indictment, for I am a Jew! The Israelitish soldier, too, must endure psychic suffering beyond compare, for he is in the army of every country now at war; he presents the anomaly of a people arrayed against itself; of blood fighting blood. The Austrian Jew slays theItalian Jew; the German Jew starves the wife and children of a Belgian Jew! Every "drive" is against his own!
Is it any wonder, then, that in spite of his faith, an age-old mystery gathers about the thoughtful Israelite? Or that he lifts the cry Jews in every age have lifted, "Is my peculiar people but a plaything of the Fates?" No wonder that as the child asks the meaning of the Passover bread, my people ask the meaning of this melancholy tale.
And unerringly comes the reply. This night shall end. Our God-ordained purposes, delayed by centuries of repression, shall yet be realized! And what is this high Mission? It is commensurate with his cumulative tragedy, his miraculous survival, and his immortal faith! His ordination looks toward nothing less than the realization of the mightiest of themes the unity of god and the unity of man. "Thou shallhave no other gods" translated the Jew at Sinai into a human oracle, persisting^ denouncing idolatry. "The Lord is One," he recited in the golden temple of Solomon; he sang it in the midnight of captivity. His children prattled it; his patriarchs chanted it. Nor has his impact against a polytheistic world failed to gather impetus from the centuries. For Christianity, born of the Jew, and Mohammedanism, catching up the tocsin, spread afar the truth. Idolatry declines. Delivered from the scimiter of the Saracen, at the corner of the undeveloped continents Jerusalem now lifts the Cross beside the Seal of Solomon, eloquent testimony to the triumph of monotheism. But for the final overthrow of idolatry Israel must tread a path of thorns! His age-old via dolorosa still remains the only gate to mighty revelation!
But the establishment of monotheism is not the only mission of the Jew. It is not his to face the past and "mark time." Manifestly, his destiny is commensurate, too, with his world-unity. He is nought less than a foregleam of Universal Brotherhood. Ever since he broke the Canaanitish yoke he unconsciously has bodied forth this ideal. His concept of God's Unity implied the Unity of Man; his Sacred Book declared it; his Prophets taught it. But monotheism necessitated stern aloofness. Later, persecution yielded social clannishness. Yet his "scattered unity," paradoxically enough, became a symbol of international fellowship. For in the marts of Italy, the Judengassen of Germany, the Pale of Russia, everywhere, this "tribe of the wandering foot and weary breast" carried clan ideals of brotherhood. However far flung, he clung to the world-comity of Israel. But now, while the world rocks with upheaval, mighty emotions sweep over Judaism as over all mankind! Concepts of ideals leap far beyond tribal limitations to identify themselves with the deepest passions of universal man! Brotherhood, once held for those of the blood alone, is now comprehended as the object of his abiding but repressed yearning for all men! His vision of the Unity of God, held in austere aloofness before mankind, expands in the fierce alchemy of world-cataclysm into a compelling concept of the Unity of Man! Jew shall love Gentile; Gentile, Jew! Coming up from his suffering, his dispersion, his faith, already the impact of the Jew is making for world-fraternity. Even now his enlarging clan-ideal spells out in a world-movement, silent, but mighty as the tide! Significantly, leading our mightiest social force, the American Federation of Labor, is Gompers, a Jew; significantly, the Chief Justice of England, just come to bind in closer bonds Britain and America, is Earl Reading, a Jew; significantly, the dream behind the Prague Conference was that of Jean de Bloch, a Jew; significantly, heading the anti-militaristic party of Austria-Hungary is Adler, a Jew; significantly, the German Social-Democrats were organized by LaSalle and Marx, two Jews; and significantly, their spokesmen today are Hasse and Liebknecht, both Jews; significantly, revolutionary Russia overturned the throne of the Czars and then rallied about the heroic heart of Kerensky, pulsing with Jewish blood; significantly, the erratic leader, foiling German intrigue against that confused people, is Trotzky, a Jew! Strange, strange indeed, if the mailed arm of might should wither at last before the world-fraternity demanded by a Jew!
How can this weak, scattered people help the world realize the dream of prophets and of seers? "Not by might nor by power, but by My spirit, saith the Lord of hosts." God ordains Right to conquer Might! Every power athwart the mission of the Jew has sickened and died! Not through bugle-blast nor battle-lunge shall come world-unity, but quietly, through international love, symbolized in the despised clan we call the Jew! Nineteen centuries ago a carpenter of Nazareth spoke to a group of simple fellow- Hebrews; yet thus was born a spiritual empire today embracing millions of souls!. And so shall be accomplished my people's uplifting work, by the spirit of the Lord, who keeps aflame in this Messiah nation the passion for their Mission, THE UNITY OF GOD, THE UNITY OF MAN !
So turning from his ghastly night he fronts the future crying:"We have traveled the highways of the Staff and sandal and pack!
And the way we came is strange and far, But the night is bright with ancient star, And we follow its golden track !"
END.
Twenty-eight years later, the same David Lilienthal co-authored the Baruch Plan.
(8) Isaiah's Mission of the Jews - the Rest of the Story. Not only Peace, but Tribute
The Mission that the young David Lilienthal referred to is the text from Isaiah 2: 4 "they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into sickles".
Here is the NIV translation. It refers to "The Mountain of the LORD", i. e. the 'Third Temple', which fundamentalist Jews want to build on the site of the Dome of the Rock.
https://www.biblestudytools.com/isaiah/2.html
1 This is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2 In the last days the mountain of the LORD's temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.
3 Many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths." The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4 He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. ==
but here's the other side of the story:

3 Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
5 Then you shall see and be radiant; your heart shall thrill and rejoice, because the abundance of the sea shall be brought to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
10 Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you; for in my wrath I struck you down, but in my favor I have had mercy on you. 11 Your gates shall always be open; day and night they shall not be shut, so that nations shall bring you their wealth, with their kings led in procession. 12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; those nations shall be utterly laid waste. 13The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the cypress, the plane, and the pine, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will glorify where my feet rest. 14 The descendants of those who oppressed you shall come bending low to you, and all who despised you shall bow down at your feet; they shall call you the City of the LORD, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel. ==
Ben-Ami Shillony, in his book The Jews and the Japanese, explains to Japanese readers that Judaism envisages Jews as Leaders of a United, Peaceful World:
{p. 31} ... Judaism was the first religion to make world peace a central element in its eschatology.
{actually it was borrowed from Zoroastrianism: zoroaster-judaism.html}
{p. 32} Yet quite often peace implies domination, and in many languages the word "pacify" also means "conquer". King Solomon could afford to be a king of peace because he ruled "over all the kings from the Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt."
{this quote, from 1 Kings 4:21, may not be historically accurate, yet it is the basis of promises that Jews will rule those lands again - at Genesis 15: 18; Exodus 23: 30-31; Deut 11: 24; Josh 1:4 - and is a major motivator of modern Zionism}
... The peaceful world that the Jewish prophets envisioned was to be ruled over by a scion of the House of David, later called the Messiah.
The Jews ... were always inspired by the belief that in the future world of peace and justice they would serve as spiritual leaders {i.e. rulers}. This vision of a world mission gave them the strength to suffer severe persecution and propelled them to the forefront of various messianic and "idealistic" movements in modern times like those of human rights, socialism, and communism. japan.html
That is, Jewish Internationalism is partly motivated by the desire to rule. ==
The Jewish Lobby in the USA has pressured Congress and Presidents into making Israel the largest recipient of Foreign Aid, for decades, even though it is a wealthy country with hi-tech industry, that spies on Western countries, uses their passports for Mossad assassinations, and has repeately attacked its neighbours. The massive aid to Israel should have been going to poor countries instead.
Americans are mostly unaware of the extent of that Aid, because the Jewish-owned & controlled media buries it. Alison Weir, of If Americans Knew, is the best source on the Lobby's hijacking of the US Foreign Aid budget: https://ifamericansknew.org/.
The Globalist Left (George Soros' Project Syndicate & Lord Rothschild's The Economist) and the Green Left say little about it, either - just as they rarely talk about the power of the Jewish Lobby. Where is the famous 'Jewish internationalism'? ==

Zionism, Crypto-Judaism, and the Biblical Hoax
LAURENT GUYÉNOT
[...] In Isaiah, for example, Christians find hope that, one day, people "will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into sickles" (Isaiah 2:4). But Zionists correctly start with the previous verses, which describe these messianic times as a Pax Judaica, when "all the nations" will pay tribute "to the mountain of Yahweh, to the house of the god of Jacob," when "the Law will issue from Zion and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem," so that Yahweh will "judge between the nations and arbitrate between many peoples." Further down in the same book, they read:
"The riches of the sea will flow to you, the wealth of the nations come to you" (60:5); "For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you will perish, and the nations will be utterly destroyed" (60:12); "You will suck the milk of nations, you will suck the wealth of kings" (60:16); "You will feed on the wealth of nations, you will supplant them in their glory" (61:5-6);
Zionism cannot be a nationalist movement like other, because it resonates with the destiny of Israel as outlined in the Bible: "Yahweh your God will raise you higher than every other nation in the world" (Deuteronomy 28:1). Only by taking into account the biblical roots of Zionism can one understand that Zionism has always carried within it a hidden imperialist agenda.

Leo Szilard and H.G. Wells were founders of the Green Left. Leo Szilard helped create the first nuclear chain reaction, and initiated the letter to Roosevelt that got the Manhattan Project under way. Later, he warned of the dangers of nuclear weapons, and joined Wells' crusade for World Government: szilard.html.
Pavel Sudoplatov, Stalin's spymaster, says in his memoirs Special Tasks, that Niels Bohr & Robert Oppenheimer helped the Soviet Union get the atomic bomb.
Sudoplatov knew nothing of the Baruch Plan for World Government of 1946; but he reveals that several of the International Scientists promoting it had passed on atomic secrets to Soviet Russia.
He writes, "Since Oppenheimer, Bohr, and Fermi were fierce opponents of violence, they would seek to prevent a nuclear war, creating a balance of power through sharing the secrets of atomic energy.": atomic-spies.html.
When Mordecai Vanunu revealed Israel's nuclear weapons, Shimon Peres ordered Mossad to arrest him: vanunu.html; he was jailed for 18 years.

Harry Hopkins, Roosevelt's top negotiator with Stalin, was a Soviet spy. KGB defectors Oleg Gordievsky and Vasili Mitrokhin both said so (see their books KGB and The Sword and the Shield, respectively). Major Jordan's Diaries provides detailed evidence of Hopkins' role in the transfer of Atomic technology to the USSR: atomic-spies.html.
