The 1918 ‘Spanish Flu’ Was a U.S. Export, But Don’t Call It the Kansas Virus

Back in 1918, Woodrow Wilson was deprived of the jingoism card played by Trump in labeling the current worldwide scourge “the China virus” because the first wave of massive fatalities was exported from a huge military base in Kansas. Wilson relied on the patriotic fervor of war to play down the health risk in dispatching huge numbers of likely infected US troops to Europe and on to the rest of the world, leading to the death of between 50 to 100 million people, far exceeding the direct human cost of the “Great War” itself. The name “Spanish flu” derived from the first news of the global influenza pandemic being reported by the media in Spain.

I’m going to start sh*t posting , on Twitter, about the 1918 Kansas Flu! J/K! 😂

The Wallace/FDR Vision for the Post-War Era

Watch on YouTube: The Wallace/FDR Vision for the Post-War Era

Amidst the renewed Cold War logic of confrontation between east and west, it is easy to forget that patriotic forces with Russia, China and the USA were once united in a close bond of friendship which changed the course of history.

In this lecture delivered by Canadian Patriot Review founder Matthew Ehret during the 2nd half of a conference in Vancouver BC, the fight to shape a multi-polar world order is explored with a focus on the clash between Franklin Roosevelt vs Winston Churchill. Other anti-imperial figures either slandered or entirely written out of history such as Henry Wallace, Wendell Wilkie, Harry Hopkins, Harry Dexter White and Sumner Welles are also introduced in this story. All of these international New Dealers were united by a common vision of a post-war order defined by win-win cooperation, mutual development and sovereign nation states protecting the general welfare of their people.

About the lecturer: Matthew Ehret is the Editor-in-Chief of the Canadian Patriot Review, a BRI Expert on Tactical talk, and has authored 3 volumes of ‘Untold History of Canada’ book series. In 2019 he co-founded the Montreal-based Rising Tide Foundation and can be reached at matt.ehret@tutamail.com

Interesting talk on FDR. Also talks about Russia, China, and the Belt and Road Initiative.

Black Eagle Trust Fund

Black Eagle Trust Fund — The 9/11 Attacks and the Black Eagle Trust Fund

The Vulcan’s drive to bring an end to the Cold War was fueled by a covert war chest invisible to congressional oversight. This war chest would be known by several names: Black Eagle Trust, the Marcos gold, Yamashita’s Gold, the Golden Lily Treasure, the Durham Trust or Project Hammer. The program also seems to have lined the pockets of the individuals that executed this policy. This was done to the tune of a staggering $240 billion dollars in covert and allegedly illegal bonds, which appear to have been replaced with Treasury notes backed by U.S. taxpayers in the aftermath of September 11.

AMERICANS, WAR – SLOW LEARNERS

AMERICANS, WAR – SLOW LEARNERS

The American way of warfare assumes unchallenged air superiority and reliable communications. What would happen if the complacent US forces meet serious integrated air defence and genuine electronic warfare capabilities? The little they have seen of Russian EW capabilities in Syria and Ukraine has made their “eyes water“; some foresee a “Waterloo” in the South China Sea. Countries on Washington’s target list know its dependence.
