A classic interview by Professor Antony Sutton, who taught economics at California State University, and was a research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution.
In this talk, Prof. Sutton goes into his impeccable research on how a close-knit group of Western oligarchs, financiers and industrialists (centered around Morgan and Rockefeller in the U.S., and around Lord Milner and the City finance oligarchs, in London) created and sustained what were essentially the best enemies money could buy: Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, and all other sorts of socialist and fascist regimes across the world.
Particularly, he goes into how Wall Street/City of London financiers used their banking institutions and their industrial enterprises to:
1) Help finance and sustain the Bolshevik Revolution. Build up Soviet industry during Lenin and Stalin's Five-Year Plans, both through finance, technology/industrial transfers and technical assistance. Continue to build the Soviets throughout the entire Cold War, through the same kinds of deals. This included the Korea and the Vietnam eras, during which American troops were being killed by... Western-made Soviet equipment.
2) Build up Nazi Germany, both financially and industrially;
3) And generally support every brand of top-down, command-and-control, socialist type political system, be it of the right or of the left flavor.
Professor Sutton was a distinguished academic researcher who documented his conclusions impeccably in his several works. Not being able to counter his research, the establishment (including academia) simply attempts to ignore it or even crudely censor it, and pretend it isn't there.
The purpose for these policies was very simple: to create, and globalize, what Sutton calls Corporate Socialism. A system under which the state exercises great power over society, and is, in its stead, corporatized and controlled by financiers and oligarchs who, hence, get to rule and manage society to their liking. In other words, to get society to work for the financiers, using a socialized, consolidated, corporatized state as an intermediary.
This is what we now know as the globalization economic model, the model being enforced all across the world, and expressing itself in privatized webs of local, national, regional and global governance atop which sit these oligarchs. Webs comprised of mutually intermeshed and consolidated institutions and corporations, governments and banks, hedge funds and central banks, CSOs and NGOs, forums and consortiums: on aggregate yielding almost total power over society – power thus accessible to, and copiously enjoyed by, the oligarchs at the top.
