Churchill, himself no stranger to war crimes, wrote in a letter to his mother that British arms had been “disgraced by the inhuman slaughter of the wounded. And Kitchener is responsible for this.”5 The brutal treatment meted out to the helpless foe he mentioned took place at the Battle of Omdurman in 1898, which won the Sudan for Eng- land—a vital acquisition that allowed the Royal Navy to strengthen the empire’s grip on India. Writing for the Financial Times, Jeremy Paxman tells how “Kitchener had led his pu- nitive expedition into Omdurman rid- ing on a white charger surrounded by kilted Highlanders. There, he set up his machine guns on the plain and mowed down 11,000 spear-carrying ‘dervishes’ in their long, patched smocks, for the loss of a mere 48 officers and men.”6 Accordingly, Kitch- ener became Baron of Khartoum. Already nationally famous, he was lauded now as a war hero of the highest order, the most popular celebrity in Britain.

In Stromness, news of the cruiser’s loss was quickly relayed to the Royal National Lifeboat Institute, whose secretary, G.L. Thompson, rushed to alert the naval authorities and launch the lifeboat. He was stunned when told not to even try to do so. He demanded to speak with the senior officer only to be told that it was “none of his bloody business,” and warned very clearly and very specifically that he would be charged with mutiny if he attempted to launch the lifeboat. Matters got so heated that he and his crew were threatened with arrest. … In Birsay, the few locals who knew about the disaster wanted to help, but in some cases “were forcibly prevented [from trying to get to survivors] under dire threats” and even ordered to stay away from the shore or they would be fired upon.

Prolonging the Agony How the Anglo-American Establishment Deliberately Extended WWI by Three-and-a-Half Years

World War I was the first global conflict in which millions of young men were sacrificed for hidden causes. They did not die to save civilization; they were killed for profit and in the hopes of establishing a one-world government. By 1917, America had been thrust into the war by a president who promised to stay out of the conflict. But the real power behind the war consisted of the bankers, the financiers, and the politicians—referred to in this book as “The Secret Elite.” Scouring government papers on both sides of the Atlantic, memoirs that avoided the censor’s pen, speeches made in Congress and Parliament, major newspapers of the time, and other sources, Prolonging the Agony maintains that the war was deliberately and unnecessarily prolonged and that the gross lies ingrained in modern “histories” still circulate because governments refuse citizens the truth.

After the battle, Santa Anna forced local San Antonians to remove the dead bodies of the slain defenders. The corpses were ordered to be taken to the town square and burned in two huge pyres to deny the defenders a proper Christian burial. WWW.BRANDONSEALE.COM TBR BOOK

By John Tiffany

lthough much has been written about Emperor Nor- ton, the average man in the A street has never heard of him. One of the most colorful and beloved characters in U.S. history was born in what is now London, England on February 4, the year being 1818 or 1819. The future self-proclaimed Emperor Norton I was then known as Joshua Abraham Norton. His mother’s maiden name, oddly, was Sarah Norden; the father was John Norton. Joshua did not remain in Britain long, for in February of 1820 the family moved to South Africa, traveling aboard the ship La Belle Alliance, and settled in Algoa Bay. This was part of a governmental colonization program. John set up shop as a ship chandler and prospered quite well. Sarah went to meet her maker in 1846, and John died in 1848. In 1849 Joshua joined the gold rush and migrated to the United States, arriving November 5 in the boom town of San Francisco, Joshua Abraham Norton was born in England in the early 1800s with $40,000 to his name. Of course, but grew up in South Africa. It is believed he arrived in California this was back when American money was silver or gold. Probably wisely, sometime in 1849.

Had Russia not participated in the conflagration it is highly unlikely that any of the horrible events listed above would have taken place. Ultimately, however, it is the fault of the czar and his government, along with the other Western powers, that allowed Russia and the rest of the world to be drawn into one of the most disastrous conflicts in human history that eventually led to the Rus- sian monarch’s brutal murder.

MCCULLAGH ON THE JEWS It has been well documented that there was an overwhelming Jewish influence among the hierarchy of the Bolshevik Party. Not surprising, the Jewish role in the Bolshevik revolution and the running of the Soviet government in its initial years has been whitewashed by mainstream historians. McCullagh does make mention of this fact and points out the prominent Bolsheviks who were Jews, but mostly in a matter-of-fact manner. Thankfully, the publisher of the 2019 edition of the book provides short biographical footnotes on the leading Jewish Communists who often used Russian ethnic names to conceal their true identities. Of course, McCullagh was a journalist, not a social theorist such as Dr. Kevin MacDonald with his “evolution- ary biology approach,” or a cleric who analyzed Judaism from a theological perspective, such as Fr. Denis Fahey and Fr. Charles Coughlin. Neverthe- A ‘ Demonic Attack’ on Christians less, McCullagh does not shy away from the matter, and his tome adds to Patriarch Tikhon (born Vasily Ivanovich Bellavin) was head of the the overwhelming but largely ignored Russian Orthodox Church (11th Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia) fact of the disproportionate involve- during the Red revolution, and courageously condemned what he ment of Jews in the Bolshevik take- believed was as a “demonic attack” on the Christian civilization of over of the country and the execution czarist Russia.

[Ibid.]

Lenin’s outlook, inspired by Marx, Robespierre and Rousseau, came to dominate much of the Western world’s thought throughout the 20th century and exists to this day. Few in political history have sur- passed the level of authoritarianism in Lenin’s character. McCullagh says:

He believes that he has the secret to earthly happiness, and people who believe very strongly that they are in possession of the secret of earthly or eternal happiness inevitably display intolerance and fanaticism, accompanied by a blind submission to a political or religious formula, an inability to discuss that formula, a ten- dency to regard as enemies all those who refuse to accept it, and an intense itch for propaganda. [350-51] McCullagh went to Mexico during the anti-Catholic persecution in Surprisingly, Lenin had a “softer that country from 1926 until 1929, and, by disguising himself, man- side.” While little was known of his personal life, he reportedly was “sin- aged to evade the state police and informants, particularly when cerely attached to his wife” and was visiting known Catholics.

PANDEMICS! How They’ve Changed the Course of History

BY JOHN TIFFANY

he Covid-19 novel coronavirus flu-like outbreak of disease—a pandemic—has forced people Tall over the globe to change how they live, at least for a while. A pandemic is like the more familiar term epidemic, except that a pandemic affects a continent or the entire world. During such an outbreak, humanity’s main goal is simply to survive. Many if not all of these diseases are zoonotic, meaning that they originated in animals as parasites, and, usually mutating, jumped to humans. It all starts with the domestication of animals, about 10,000 years ago. During most of prehistory, humans lived as small, scattered bands, rarely contacting other bands, and disease was a rare thing. Even the common cold was unknown. Once we domesticated animals, and came into close contact with them, trouble began.

The Uranium Club The true story of the Third Reich’s Uranprojekt nuclear weapons effort

The Germans were world leaders in nuclear theory in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Some say they were within a hair’s breadth of creating a nuclear weapon. And for seven decades there has been much debate over just how far the Nazis got when it came to creating an A-bomb. Even amongst BARNES REVIEW writers, the matter is not settled. In this article, historian Arthur Kemp examines all the available evidence—some of it new— and separates fact from myth when it comes to Germany’s WWII nuclear program.

What then is the truth about the Reich’s nuclear weapons program? As with many things, the truth is actually more interesting than fiction, and serves to underline just how accurate Truman’s claims of a “laboratory race” were.

Furthermore, the results indicated that “spherical geometry, with five metric tons of heavy water and 10 metric tons of metallic uranium, could sustain a fission reaction.”25 This was a remarkable breakthrough, especially given that the U.S.’s first working atomic pile, Fermi’s Chicago-1, would only go live six months later—although the latter project would go “critical.” The promising L-IV pile in Leipzig was, however, destroyed in a hydrogen explosion one month after its groundbreaking test, and this disaster ended the Leipzig uranium projects. The Gottow team under Diebner had also been hard at work, and was housed in a purpose-built building known as the Chemisch-physikalis- che- und Atom-Versuchsstelle Gottow (“Chemical-Physical and Atomic Re- search Station Gottow”).

G-II was carried out in January 1943, this time at the Chemisch-Technischen Reichsanstalt in Berlin. Instead of uranium powder, uranium metal cast in cube form was used for the first time. The symmet- rical grid of 108 uranium cubes was inserted into 189 liters of heavy water as a moderator, resulting in a significant neutron yield. The G-III experiment saw an improved cube arrangement used. About 240 uranium cubes were suspended on wires so that the distance between the cubes remained 5.7 inches as in G-II. The circular arrangement of the cubes, however, was replaced with an arrangement whereby the cube centers formed a square grid in each layer. Although G-III had relatively small dimensions (98 inches × 90.05 inches), there was

The first reactor experiments, known as the “B8 Experiment,” were carried out at the end of March and the beginning of April 1945. The reactor worked perfectly as planned. In fact, it very nearly went “critical,” but not quite. To do so, it would have had to have been at least one-and-a- half times larger, and would have required more heavy water and uranium blocks. By April 1945, however, the end 1 of the war was just weeks away, and the invasion of Germany by Allied forces from the west brought an immediate end to the program. On No- vember 23, 1944, the city of Strasbourg was taken, and two days afterward, an Allied task force, known as the “Alsos mission,” specifically set up to search for and seize all scientists and projects linked to the German nuclear program, ransacked Weiz- säcker’s offices and his nuclear laboratory, located on the grounds of the Strasbourg Hospital. It was there, in papers seized in Weizsäcker’s office, 2 that the Allies discovered that the remains of the project were to be found in Stadtilm, Haigerloch, Hech- ingen and Tailfingen. From then, it was a matter of months until those areas were occupied by the Allied forces, and the Alsos Mission leaders were able to report back that the German nuclear project had not been able to make a 3 nuclear reactor go critical, and that therefore there was no chance that National Socialist Germany had a nu- 1) A view of the replica of the German clear weapon. nuclear reactor (“atomic pile”) built The Alsos Mission team found a by Heisenberg’s team at Haigerloch treasure trove of items buried in the Castle.

German backing for Zion- ism was therefore limited to support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine under British control, not a sovereign Jewish state. A Jewish state in Palestine, the foreign minister informed diplomats in June 1937, would not be in Germany’s interest because it would not be able to ab- sorb all Jews around the world, but would only serve as an additional power base for international Jewry, in much the same way as Moscow served as a base for international Communism.

eal history is not propaganda intended to shape the views of unsuspecting readers toward the current projects of the masters of the media. Unfortunate ly, Americans share a vast ignorance Rof the past and, as such, are easily manipulated by the special interest elite. Real history is more than the distorted, liberal, politically correct lies or half-truths you get in virtually every other historical periodical published today. Real history is the stuff of mystery and intrigue, romance and tragedy, cowardice and courage, conspiracy and idealism, good and evil. In THE BARNES REVIEW, you’ll read vignettes of Man, from the prehistoric to the present day; from forgotten civilizations to first person accounts of WWII and the Cold War; from the attacks of Sept. 11 to the immigra- tion crisis in Europe. There is no more interesting magazine published today, nor a more im portant subject than REAL history.

No cause is more important to the survival of civilization.
