Synarchism: The Fascist Roots
of the Wolfowitz Cabal
The Synarchist movement, born in France in the 19th Century, sought to create a one-world tyranny, modeled on the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte. Synarchism was alive and well in Vichy France, and continued after World War II through financial elites like Hjalmar Schacht and Carl Schmitt, and through such "philosophers" as Alexandre Kojève, the propagandist of "purgative violence" and his friend Leo Strauss—godfather of the neo-conservatives in the Bush Administration.

That Created Synarchism
Mexico's Cristero War in the late 1920s pitted "right-wing" Catholic masses against the "left-wing" anticlerical government—with both sides being ideological Synarchists and their dupes.

The Economic Policy That
Made the Peace of Westphalia
The 1648 Westphalia Peace only succeeded because of an economic policy of protection and directed public credit—dirigism—aimed to create sovereign nation-states, and designed by France's Cardinal Jules Mazarin and his great protégé Jean-Baptiste Colbert. Colbert's dirigist policy of fair trade was the most effective weapon against the liberal free trade policy of central banking maritime powers of the British and Dutch oligarchies.
