HIGHWAY 24 – HIGHWAYS TO CONTROL THE SEAS & WORLD TRADE
Euro Man World Trade Wars of the 1700s:
In 1702, the English King William died and his deceased wife Mary’s sister, Anne, the second daughter of the deposed Catholic James the Second, got to rule the English Isles. But her rule was in name only. Anne got the throne and became the figurehead for the land. But Parliament got control, Parliament being the chosen few House of Lords. Parliament decided to declare war on France.
Why War? Well, with the cause of the war being the succession of the Spanish King, it was very important that the British and the French too, at least in their controlling minds, had a say in what family became the ruler of the Catholic nation Spain. So the two nations had a war supporting the different sides of the Spanish civil war to decide this truth: which family shall rule Spain. That was foreign intervention to the hilt.
What was the real reason for War? Truth is, England and France went to war against each other because of economics. The war was over material trade and the control of the corresponding highways of the seas. The goal was to control the trade of the Western Hemisphere. The key to the British desires, as opposed to the French and the Spanish rulers, was the British were merchants who stole to make something new with some of what they stole, as opposed to the reasoning of the French, Spanish and their Catholic Church, who stole to maintain their lifestyle and ruling order.
England understood that to control the trade you must be able to add value to the material being traded. Example being they picked up cotton, made shirts with it, then sold their product abroad. England had the Industrial Revolution before the other nations. This machine revolution changed our world and is still changing it.
The front for this war was that they apparently cared about how the nation and its people would be ruled, and the French were about to join in the possibility of a Union with the Spanish under one Bourbon King. The dead Spanish king, Charles, was a Hapsburg, who died without children, so he bequeathed his kingdom to Philip, the grandson of his half-sister and King Louis XIV of France. The war began when the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold started the festivities to protect the Austrian-Hapsburg family’s claim to the Spanish lands. The French, under Louis XIV, were in expansion mode and this worried the other European powers, especially the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, as to what a union of French and Spanish Kingdoms could do to the balance of European powers. So war began for control and lasted until 1714. It was fought mostly in Europe, but they did have a separate battlefield in North America called Queen Anne’s War.
The English Queen Anne’s War in North America & the European Counterpart Known as the Spanish War of Succession: The Real First World War for Trade
The European phase was settled when Philip became the King of Spain but renounced his claim to a French throne. He had his fingers crossed because he soon announced after getting his Spanish Crown that if Louis XV died without issue, he, Philip, and his family would have the Crown of France.
The war did divide up the Spanish territories of Europe. The Austrians, now ruled by the losing political internal side of the war of the Spanish succession, Prince Charles, got most of the Spanish territories due to this defeat of choice of King in the land that makes up the peninsula we call Italy, Spanish Netherlands, Bohemia, which included Prague, Silesia, the Duchy of Milan, Naples, Sardinia, and also took back from the Ottomans the previous century the territories of Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia and Transylvania. This was the new Austrian-Hungarian Empire.
Follow this, in the loss of who would succeed the Spanish King, Austria got a land grant and became the Austrian-Hungarian Empire for real. The French were no longer the bully boss of Europe. A new counterweight had been created. The old title of Holy Roman Emperor was titular in power, but this Austrian-Hungarian Empire would last until the start of the wrong peace of World War One. A coming story.
For the British, their merchant strategy was simple. Keep the continent separate and apart. Call it the balance of power, and this way no one will ever be able to question our real British control of trade. Also, the British united their ruled lands as the United Kingdom. A union of the then-current local island-living Lords. This was a very smart Bankster move. You see, by uniting the Island as one nation, the British would never again have an internal civil war on their land to destroy the morale of the Sadducee nation.
Instead, the British would invade and fight to regain old order. The old order being the reptilian Roman Empire who controlled the trade on the highways of their land-based empire. Britain was about to make their empire the seas of Earth. They would concentrate their forces and their funds on building the biggest navy and having the best arms that money could buy. They were nothing short of a merchant-traveling modern-day Roman army.
This war in Europe also marked the military leadership of John Churchill. He was a well-respected but despised man about the Isles. He had fought with James the Second and helped James gain the throne in the battles we call the Monmouth Rebellion. Yet three years later, he abandoned James and fought with William, who took James’ Crown. Who is or was John Churchill? He changed his principles with the wind, and so he was placed in jail because he was still accused of being a Jacob, meaning he was in favor of a Stuart king. William and his new court did not trust Mr. Churchill. He was placed in the Tower of London. His fame and fortune as a warrior for the crowd had only ambition as his guide; he had no real position of reason, unlike his distant relative and maybe one of the greatest leaders of war times, Winston Churchill.
In the 1700s, Churchill got his chance for fame and fortune one last time when Anne became Queen, as he was married to the Queen’s best friend, Sarah Jennings. He became the Captain General of the British European forces. In this role, he wowed the boss. He was in charge of the victories in Europe at Blenheim, Ramillies, Oudenarde and Malplaquet. This leadership got him his title of Duke of Marlborough. To this day, the memories of his fine leadership of forces are still renowned.
Then, war was the gentlemen’s game as there were terms of engagement. The war was a gentleman’s sport that did end in and with death, but at least the combatants did not engage the civilians as collateral damage. But really, no war is ever justified. By winning this war, England controlled Europe a very interesting way. There was peace by the threat of war. There was no unified Europe. Just a few families that got the locals to fight for their right to own & control those who believed they were living on the land of the families, not the land of a whole community.
By keeping Europe ready for the next war, the British Isles were able to make their moves as a united front of one community. As I said, this war helped pave the way for the coming British worldwide trading and stealing rule.
Queen Anne’s War was the name of the battle fought in the Americas, as this war’s western front is remembered as a fight to control the trade in the Western Hemisphere. This war engaged the Indians on the side of Britain and France as well as the Spanish. The peace treaty so made gave the British claim of white man’s title to all the territories of the Hudson Bay waterway; Acadia, now called Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland. This was the French fur trading market. This fur trading is also why the Norwegians and the Russians ventured in the Northern region of the Western Hemisphere. But the entire region became in the possession of the British.
The French, as a result of this war, got to keep their claims of ownership & control of Cape Breton, the island that actually controls the waterways to Canada and other islands in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. These islands would become renowned in our US nation’s folklore for where the term runners started, when the United States in 1919 actually amended their constitution and outlawed the sale of booze. These islands were where the bootleggers would store the European booze and bring it ashore to the US borders, and this was the beginning of the current US drug-running games. This prohibition was from 1919 until the beginning of 1933. Then in the French world, these islands were and still are important ports to help fishing business in the North Atlantic. Point I am making is war was now fought and settled for economic advantage, not just land grabs. It was all about the bank.
Since it was about the dough, the rules of order were drafted in gray language, not black and white, as they were about getting business flowing, not just to create permanent settlements. So, in the coming years, the nations would fight and have more economic war over the meaning of this treaty. There was a secret to what the British did to fund this war. The secret existed because they were the only nation that did not have an absolute King ruling the warring nations. Merchants ruled the Parliament of Britain with landowners, and the merchants would honor their pledge to return monies so borrowed to finance war.
The other lands ruled by a King without the participation of a nation, even if it was only the nobles who were few, would tell the bankers, sorry, the King said you cannot be paid, and there was nothing they could do about it. The British were a banking land and the banks would now come first. The British in this order & rule could now have the Sadducee Banksters finance the war. The people that ruled the land and who profited by winning the trade made sure the Banksters got repaid.
Then the British created a new game. It was unthinkable to society as its core purpose was so unchristian. It opened up the world to the truth of war. War was for profit and now that the cat was out of the bag, the merchants that ran Britain were able to sell war bonds. The Brits sold bonds where you, the citizen, could lend money to the British so they could go kill and take and steal and just make a mess so their ruling merchant order would win the battle of commerce as the Sky God religion in Europe. This all happened because moral behavioral codes no longer were in control and were now a thing of the past. This change allowed you, the citizen, to have a betting stake in and for the victory of your land, not the land of an absolute King or a Catholic Church, but your land.
Also, please note this banking order sold the future. This is the first time that a government sold futures as a way of life. They sold the idea that the future on Earth would be better. Before, the Kings with the Church said what you are living in now is OK because your future, life after physical death, in the other dimension called heaven, is so much better, because you have agreed to live this way and therefore earned your ticket to ride.
The Banksters brought you your future by taking your money today in a scheme called investing; plant your garden and then we promise you your money back tomorrow, guaranteed by the government that the monies were being used to kill with the best manmade weapons, with more than you gave. The banking world was selling you the concept of change here on Earth. The creation they were selling was not growth for all and therefore new profits to share. No, they were selling you our thefts of which only we the bondholders of the government will share.
This is the first time in the history of our Consciousness that change as opposed to real creation was the end goal of ruling behavior. We the nation will build a better tomorrow for you if you live and work hard as the peasants, and if you are a wealthy man, you will have more if you invest in us today. The coming American dream got distorted and was born right there and then. They sold greed and accumulation of materials as the American dream. Materials for you the winner of the game and charity for others with what you yourself could not use. They forget that communities share. The real American dream that we sold to offshore victims was the building of a community of equals of man, without a king or a Pope.
This was the American WASP dream: work today and get your place in the heaven of Earth in the future that your present indentured work helped to pave. The present was selling hope for the living future. The Catholic Church was replaced by this logic. The Protestant Church sold this logic. Their logic was work is what is required for you to get the ticket to heaven. If you did not work, you were preordained to live in eternal hell after this physical life. So if you were lazy and wished not to work, the WASP society would have nothing to do with you.
The whole coming merchant material world revolves around change. Change is risk and it is the risk that banks would get you to invest in. They started selling insurance to limit your exposure and invented the stock market, saying that you could invest and share in the coming new order of wealth with companies who would use your monies to go and get the wealth. Even gambling came back into the world as accepted behavior.
The Catholic Church was gone from these Northern European lands and their descendants who took to the seas and went to America to build the new Promised Land. Sky-Catholic-God was not in sole control and so allowed you, the citizens, to bet on a future, praying to your God or Gods to allow your vision now coupled with belief to become real. Banks, which were independently owned, would soon get countries to go to war to protect their profits, convincing the nation and its citizens that this war was being fought so your lifestyle can not only continue but also grow. What lifestyle? The stealing and killing of others in foreign lands—this was what we did and what we still do.
The Spanish and British Sea Wars did not end with this treaty of 1714. No, the two thieving nations were constantly stealing the ship cargo of each other. The ships used flags to say who they were and who owned what. So a pirate would use the flag of another country and then under this disguise they would attack your ship to get your cargo. This led to such famous battles as the Battle of Porto Bello in what today is Panama. This was the central silver shipping port for the Spanish to ship their silver to Europe.
This was a huge victory in a naval battle for the British. It was led by Admiral Vernon, who had the half-brother of George Washington on board, and it was he, this victorious admiral of that battle, that Mt. Vernon is named after today in our world of mythical creatures and Gods or places which we can go and worship these new Gods who were once living Man.
With the British then and even now, it became about trade for those in control of the British government. This rule will soon change. I see it coming as the people will soon stop being fooled into believing a society that produces Margaret Thatcher or Tony Blair and are taught there is a difference. They were both puppets with absolutely no understanding of the consciousness of all man. They believe they are superior to you, the reader.
