another history of international bankers, oil and fuel magnates and industrialists versus FDR
The Plot Against FDR:
A Model For Bush's `Chile Model' Today
by William F. Wertz, Jr.
The three most prominent historical models for the kinds of economic and financial warfare operations carried out by the financial oligarchy as described in John Perkins' recent book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man<1> are: 1) the Venetian empire during the period leading into the Hundred Years War and the Dark Ages of the 14th Century; 2) the Venetian-style empire established by the British East India Company following the Treaty of Paris at the conclusion of the Seven Years War in 1763; and 3) the Anglo-American-German cartels established in the 1920s. The purpose of this report is to examine the latter as the most immediate precedent for the current danger presented by a private financier oligarchy bent on world domination under the guise of "globalization."

Roosevelt had sent a letter to Secretary of State Cordell Hull on Sept. 8, 1944, in which he said: "The history of the use of the I.G. Farben trust by the Nazis reads like a detective story. Defeat of the Nazi army will have to be followed by the eradication of those weapons of economic warfare."
However, despite the clear intention of President Roosevelt before his untimely death, those same cartels survived the war under the control of their pre-war Anglo-American cartel partners, who blocked the post-World War II plan to dismantle the cartels.
Hitler was brought to power in Germany by an international financial oligarchy based in London and Wall Street. Faced with a global depression, the financial oligarchy opposed solving the crisis using American System methods of physical economic development as implemented by Roosevelt in the United States, and as proposed under the Lautenbach Plan in Germany before Hitler's ascension to power.<2> Instead they fostered the creation of fascist governments in Italy, Germany, Spain, etc., in an effort to maintain their control over a collapsing financial system, at the expense of the welfare of the population. The fascist regimes brought to power were designed by synarchist financier circles, to enforce their genocidal slave labor and looting policies and to carry out military aggression in search of further loot. This is the same policy seen today in the form of the global effort to impose International Monetary Fund (IMF) policies of debt collection and austerity. The leading edge of this fascist policy is the Bush Administration's current drive to privatize and thus loot the Social Security system introduced to the United States by President Roosevelt in the 1930s. The model explicitly cited by Bush for this drive today is the economic policy of George Shultz et al., implemented in Chile under the murderous Operation Condor of dictator Gen. Augusto Pinochet.
Before World War II, when Hitler was engaged in a mobilization to prepare for aggressive war, the financial oligarchy in London and Wall Street was completely intertwined with the German-centered branches of the cartels. During the war, many of these companies continued to trade with the enemy. That same oligarchy after the war rushed to protect its assets, and in the context of the Cold War, which it provoked through Churchill and Truman after the death of Roosevelt, conspired to use those assets to overthrow the post-war Bretton Woods system, envisioned and set into motion by Roosevelt, based upon the sovereign nation-state and the American System of political economy. In its place, the financial oligarchy wanted to establish a form of universal fascism without Hitler, in the form of what we now call globalization.
