World War I was a war against Western Christendom, Russia, Germany, and the Ottoman Empire by world Jewry, Freemasonry, and the British Empire.
The struggle for world supremacy was happening behind the scenes, in the political and diplomatic arena, not in the trenches. That's where the cattle and cannon fodder were sent to die.
I hate to be so blunt about it because they were good men with good souls. They believed in God, King, and Country. They had no idea of the great conspiracy behind the war. They were directed to slaughter like blind sheep, falsely believing the war was a brief interlude to their daily lives and would end before winter was over in 1914.
But the war dragged on because it was not a war in the traditional sense. It was a mass sacrifice ritual. That's my reading of it.
And how the cattle were mobilized for war was pretty much the same in every country, empire, and society. Religion, hate, fear, patriotism, emotional propaganda, basically every trick of the trade was used to round up the cattle.
The Western Front:
In the West the system of propaganda appealed to peoples' innate sense of patriotism and natural love of brotherhood. Women were targeted in emotional ways to make them look down upon the men who refused to sign up for the war as cowards. Churches were given the order to rally their flock and sell the war as a holy enterprise. All instruments of state policy in the social, academic, and cultural fields were instructed to frame the war as moral and necessary.
The Russian Empire:
I presume the same pitch was made to Russian peasants living under the Tsar as elsewhere, but the situation there was a little different. The Russian Empire had been under constant psychological and physical attack for decades by this point in history. The Tsars were regularly assassinated and defamed in popular literature.
Mass poverty and serfdom had created an unstable society. Impoverished serfs don't make good soldiers. And the professional military class was busy with news of revolts, strikes, riots, assassinations, sabotage operations, and episodes of terrorism throughout the country. A revolutionary base, primarily led by Jewish intellectuals, was forming. The Tsar had already lost a war earlier in the 1900s against Japan so his popularity was on the decline.
There was still a lot of love and loyalty for the Russian monarch. The preservation of imperial symbols and the anti-Bolshevik White Army's persistence after the Communist revolution was a testament to that love. But the Russian Empire could not survive against internal intrigues and powerful external foes. It had alienated its Jewish population for decades and they had influential backers in London and New York who wanted to see them get their revenge, Old Testament style.
The Arab Theatre:
Throughout history Arab tribes have been mobilized for war by external actors and bigger empires with schemes of their own.
This was also true during WWI, when they were used as proxies and pawns by the British Empire. They were given false promises of independence and sovereign nationhood to entice them to turn against the Ottomans.
The Ottoman Empire had run its course by then. Its power was held up by European intervention all throughout the 19th century. As soon as European policy changed in favour of its dismantlement its days were marked.
It was an Islamic Empire in name only. The Ottoman armies won its greatest victories in the war under the banner of Turkish nationalism, not Islam. When the British took Palestine and conquered Jerusalem it was over for them.
After the usefulness of the Arabs was expired at the end of the war they were given some sovereignty, but they were constantly reminded where they really stood in the post-WWI order in the Middle East.
The Arabs thought they fought for freedom and independence alongside their Anglo superiors but they were proven wrong time and time again. The British and the Jews took their lunch and their oil after using them against the Ottomans. And the situation hasn't changed since then.
The American Entrance:
America entered the war, as it always does, with the deliberate sacrifice of its own citizens to gin up public support for war. This time it was the innocent passengers of the ship RMS Lusitania who were chosen to die. They were unknowingly used as human shields to transport weapons and military supplies to England via a civilian ship, a violation of the rules of war. After repeated warnings the German Navy sank this ship. The British Empire and its agents in Washington got the reaction they wanted out of the American people. The train for war was beginning to leave the station and before long America entered WWI to save the British army from destruction at the hands of the Germans.
Victory For The Jews, Destruction For The Christians and Muslims:
After the conclusion of WWI the European Empires had been mentally, materially, and spiritually drained, and its overseas colonies were increasingly in revolt.
War in the Western Front was fought to a standstill. No territory was won or lost by either enemy. Meanwhile, the Russian and Ottoman Empires had been dismantled and its kings terminated.
The great geopolitical conquest of the war was the seizure of Palestine by the British Empire, which was then handed over to Jewish nationalists as planned before the hostilities.
The Jews had won a great victory, possibly their greatest in history, without actually fighting. They made the dumb Christians and Muslims fight to the ruin of their empires while they got the ultimate prize at the end: Jerusalem.
America got out of the ordeal with an increase in international prestige and greater economic influence, so it was a victor as well. Its planned destruction was to come a century later.
But old Europe was utterly destroyed with this war. Its best men were killed off for nothing. We all know what came after, and who leads Europe today. The worst of the worst.
