And the conspiracy was strong; for the

Patrick Blackett
Professor Patrick Blackett, an ex-naval officer and nuclear physicist,
had received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1948. In 1932, Blackett identified
the electron with a positive charge, a discovery which built upon the
former breakthroughs in physics, splitting of the atom and discovery of
the neutron. These three discoveries laid the foundation for the
development of nuclear weapons. In 1939, Blackett initiated the
technique of Operational Research, which was discussed at length in
Carroll Quigley's Tragedy and Hope as Blackett's application of a
British philosophical doctrine called "rationalization" to the
unpleasant realities of war. The concept of "rationalization" had
appeared at the end of the 19th Century, at the same time the
Rhodes-Milner secret eugenics society was formed.
As in so many other innovations, the introduction of
rationalization into war was begun by the British and then
taken over on an enormous scale, by the Americans. Its origin
is usually attributed to the efforts of Professor P. M. S.
Blackett (Nobel Prize 1948) to apply radar to antiaircraft
guns. From there Blackett took the technique into
antisubmarine defense whence it spread, under the name
'Operational Research' into many aspects of the War effort. In
its original form, the Anti-Aircraft Command Research Group,
known as "Blackett's Circus,"...was a mixed-team approach to
operational problems, emphasizing an objective, analytical,
and quantitative method. As Blackett wrote in 1941, "The
scientist can encourage numerical thinking on operational
matters, and so can help to avoid running the war on gusts of
emotion.". . .
Rationalization of behavior, as represented in Operations
Research, and the application of science to new weapons, as
practiced by the English-speaking countries, were in sharp
contrast with the methods of waging war used by the Tripartite
aggressors. Hitler fought the war by basing his hopes on
inspiration (his own) and will power (usually, refusal to
retreat an inch); Mussolini tried to fight his war on rhetoric
and slogans; the Japanese tried to gain victory by
self-sacrifice and willingness to die. All three irrational
methods were obsolete as compared with the Anglo-American
method of rationalization and science.
First news of the success of Operations Research in Britain
was brought to the United States by President Conant in 1940
and was formally introduced by Vannevar Bush [Freemason, BA],
as chairman of the New Weapons Committee of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, in 1942." (pp. 838, 842)

To say that Sir Anthony Wass Buzzard had connections in high places
would be an enormous understatement. Sir Anthony W. Buzzard was also a
knight in Her Majesty, the Queen of England's empire. This distinction
is also indicated by the title of "Sir" which precedes Anthony F.
Buzzard, whose honors additionally include nomination for the Templeton
Prize for Progress in Religion in 1996. Sir John Marks Templeton, the
founder of the Prize, won a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford University and
was also knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1987 for his philanthropic
efforts, which included his endowment of Templeton College, Oxford. On
the staff of the Templeton Foundation are a high percentage of Oxford
University graduates, including Executive Director and Senior Vice
President Dr. Charles L. Harper, Jr.
THE WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD
Due to his involvement with the Discernment Ministries, which purport to
expose the New World Order, Sir Anthony F. Buzzard seemed to warrant
further investigation. A logical place to begin was the Worldwide Church
of God in which he formerly held membership and employment for some
time. The Worldwide Church of God was founded by Herbert W. Armstrong in
1934 as "The World Tomorrow" radio program with a magazine called The
Plain Truth. The WCG was led by Herbert Armstrong and his son, Garner
Ted Armstrong, prior to its transformation into an Evangelical
denomination after highly publicized exposure of criminal and immoral
activities.
Sir Anthony had informed me that he separated from the WCG when the
denomination embraced orthodox doctrine and thereafter affiliated with
the Church of God General Council, which maintained the Unitarian
beliefs of the former WCG. A listing of the Worldwide Church of God -
Organizational Splits states that Anthony Buzzard formed his Restoration
Fellowship in 1972, the year he left his teaching post at WCG Ambassador
College. A publication of the Church of God, The Journal, still promotes
the Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association and the Worldwide
Church of God. [This COG website also interconnects a large network of
Unitarian -- Nazarene, Sabbatarian, Hebrew Roots, Seventh Day Adventist
and Jewish -- web sites.]
Anthony Buzzard wrote in The Journal: "I was in the WCG from 1960 to
1972 and taught music and biblical languages in Pasadena [Ambassador
College at the WCG Headquarters] and Bricket Wood [College in England]."
According to a 1978 BBC broadcast, Sir Anthony Buzzard was "a man who
knew Herbert Armstrong well." In a publication titled the Ambassador
Report, Sir Anthony explained Armstrong's "main ambition to meet top
people around the world," such as the Queen of England, whom he
considered to be the descendant of King David:
"He felt that if he could do that he would have preached the
gospel to the nations through getting at their leaders and
after that has been done it was his firm belief that the end
of the world would come. I'm sure that to meet Her Majesty the
Queen would be his ultimate ambition. He's always had a great
love of England, and he would look upon the Queen as being a
direct descendant of King David because he believes, or
believed certainly when I knew him, that England and America
are the descendants of the lost tribes of Israel, and
therefore to meet the direct descendant of David would be the
highest privilege he could think of." (Ambassador Report,
8/21/78)
An expose of the Worldwide Church of God, The Truth Shall Make You Free
by John Tuit, describes a religious empire which extorted not one, but
three, tithes (30% of income) from its members to support extravagant
lifestyles for Herbert W. and Garner Ted Armstrong and a law firm of
Jewish attorneys who controlled the WCG for twenty years. The most
prominent of these was Stanley Rader, who with Herbert Armstrong "had
gained access to the heads of state in at least a dozen world capitals."
Former WCG member, John Tuit, who initiated the litigation and
investigation of the denomination, wrote in 1981 of the power elites
with whom Armstrong and Rader had connections, including members and
even the founder of the Bilderberg Group:
"It is more than passing significance that Armstrong's
original contacts were made through high-ranking members of
the Japanese government. Perhaps the mysterious Osamu Gotoh's
part in this will never be totally known. The Japanese, who
have such a significant part in the Trilateral Commission, are
also the very ones who have introduced Armstrong to many world
leaders...
"Through the Ambassador International Cultural Foundation,
Rader has established an institute for political research in
Tokyo as well as a Society for Near Eastern Studies in Tokyo.
There is a close relationship with King Leopold III of
Belgium, who is one of the members of Prince Bernhard's
Bilderberg Group. And there has also been very close contact
with Prince Bernhard. Doctor Singh of the World Court also
figures prominently in the Armstrong-Rader contacts." (The
Truth Shall Make You Free, p. 289)
The Ambassador Report, which is dedicated to exposing the Worldwide
Church of God, explained in its May 1991 issue the close relationship
between Herbert Armstrong and the King of Belgium, a Bilderberger and
former Nazi collaborator:
"...it is interesting to note HWA's long friendship with
Leopold III of Belgium. According to the WN (Feb. 10, 1986, p.
2) Leopold was instrumental in arranging many of HWA's
meetings with heads of state...Leopold had surrendered Belgium
to the Nazis in 1940 and had refused to flee the country to
set up a Belgian government-in-exile in France or England. He
spent most of the war in Germany. One international relations
expert told AR, 'Deep down Leopold was really a... fascist.'"
According to an Authorized Biography of H.R.H. Prince Bernhard of the
Netherlands, the founder of the Bilderbergers also enlisted in Adolf
Hitler’s SS and was employed by the notorious I.G. Farben which
financed Hitler.
The December 31, 1981 Ambassador Report published Herbert Armstrong's
Nov. 27 letter to Plain Truth, which included his recent schedule of
meetings with Zionist leaders: "A week ago yesterday, Thursday, November
19, I had a personal meeting with President Yitzak Navon of Israel in
Jerusalem, and the night before I was guest of honor at the banquet
hosted by Mayor Teddy Kollek of Jerusalem. Present also were former
Mayor John Lindsay of New York City, and Jacob Rothschild of London."
The May 30, 1983 Worldwide News reported that Armstrong's presence in
Oxford, England. "While in England, HWA met with Leopold de Rothschild,
Edmond de Rothschild, and other British royalty." [Ambassador Report,
Sept. 1983]
Herbert Armstrong would occasionally boast that, following his visits
with certain heads of state, their governments would mysteriously
collapse:
"August 15, a man I knew--President Mujibur Rahman of
Bangladesh--was shot and killed in a military coup. Sitting
with us, when I visited President Rahman (then Prime Minister
but actual head of state), was Khandaker Moshtaque Ahmed,
Commerce Minister. Ahmed led the military coup and took over
as head of the government.
"August, 1973, I was in Santiago, Chile (South America) to
visit President Allende. Three weeks later, he was
assassinated--machine gunned in the back--in the very room
where I had the conference. Three weeks after I had visited
Prime Minister Kittikachorn of Thailand and spoken in Bangkok
before an audience which included Doctor Sanya, Rector of the
University, a riot of 200,000 students overthrew the military
government, and Prime Minister Kittikachorn fled to the United
States.
"I had become well acquainted with Emperor Haile Selassie of
Ethiopia. Twice when I visited him in Addis Ababa he placed
one of his personal limousines with chauffeur at my disposal
for my entire stay. But the military forces took him prisoner
and took over the government.
"Last July a bloodless coup overthrew the government of
General Yakubu Gowon in Nigeria (Africa)." (Tuit, p. 26)
It is commonly known and reported by publications such as the Covert
Action Information Bulletin that the assassination of Salvador Allende
of Chile was an operation of the CIA. However, the CAIB also implicates
another organization, Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) with ties to
the Christian Right in the U.S., namely Paul Weyrich and Morton
Blackwell, principals of the Council for National Policy, and other CNP
organizations such as Christian Voice, Citizens Against Government
Waste, Citizens Committe for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
"In Chile and other Latin American countries, the CIA helped
finance the right-wing Tradition, Family and Property which
played a role in the overthrow of both Allende in Chile and
Goulart in Brazil. In many instances it pitted one sector of
the Church against another." (CAIB, Winter 1983, p. 17)
Although the FBI and CIA have files on Herbert Armstrong and Stanley
Rader, for the most part these have been unavailable to inquirers, such
as former WCG member, Gene Bailey. According to the May, 1991 Ambassador
Report:
"...one CIA employee told Bailey that after each meeting with
foreign leaders during the 1970s and early 1980s Herbert
Armstrong and his Jewish attorney- accountant Stanley R. Rader
had probably been debriefed by the CIA and that there would be
files on those debriefings. But now, however -- months after
being told by the government that the CIA had files on the WCG
-- Bailey has been told by the CIA that no such files can be
found!...
"Over the years, many noticed that in a number of cases, after
HWA visited a country, that country's government would fall or
there would be a major change of leadership. Examples:
Ethiopia after HWA visited Haile Selassie, the Philippines
after HWA visited Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos, India after HWA
visited Indira Gandhi, and Egypt after HWA visited Anwar
Sadat. (Some even recall how HWA was to have met with Allende
of Chile but Allende was overthrown and killed -- CIA help
many say -- shortly before HWA was to go to that country.)
"Because of the above coincidences (and perhaps because Rader
was reported to have had friends in the White House during
Republican administrations beginning with Nixon), some at WCG
headquarters kidded that HWA or someone close to him was
somehow being used by the CIA to bring down governments. While
the idea sounds like something out of a spy novel, such a
theory should not be dismissed out of hand." (Ambassador
Report, May 1991)
Rockefeller, Internationalist by Emmanuel Josephson tells the story of
Emperor Selassie's resistance years earlier to the Rockefeller oil
racket, which prompted Rockefeller's agent, Mussolini to invade
Ethiopia:
"The story of the Ethiopian War is that of another oily
Rockefeller Crusade. It began on July 1, 1923, when the press
announced that the Anglo-American Oil Co., a Standard Oil
subsidiary, had obtained an exclusive oil concession in the
northern half of the Harrar Province of Abyssinia. Nothing
more was heard of this concession for more than a decade
despite the urgent need of the Rockefeller interests for a
source of oil for the Mediterranean basin that was close at
hand and did not require costly haulage by tankers, from the
far-off Gulf and Venezuelan ports, or from East India. Behind
the scenes there raged a fierce diplomatic battle. For
Ethiopia holds the source of the Nile and was regarded by the
British Empire as one of its critical spheres of interest. It
vigorously opposed permitting its deadly rival, the
Rockefeller Empire, to gain a foothold there. Under pressure
of the British, Haile Selassie denied permission to the
Rockefeller interests to proceed with the development of the
concession that had been given them.
"Following negotiations of Sir Francis Rickett, a director of
Rockefeller's Socony Vacuum Oil So, with Mussolini, in which
it is apparent that the Rockefeller interests assured Il Duce
of supplies of oil for a war on Abyssinia in exchange for a
thirty year monopoly of the Italian oil market and the
ratification of their Ethiopian concession, as well as other
considerations, border incidents on December 9, 1934, between
Italian and Ethiopian troops, in connection with a dispute
over the Italian Somalian frontier, served as a pretext for
the waging by Italy of an undeclared war. In the midst of the
war, on September 1, 1935, the press announced the text of an
Ethiopian concession, negotiated by Sir Francis Rickett, to
the African Exploration and Development Co., organized in 1933
as a subsidiary of the Socony Vacuum. The names of Mellon,
Mitchell and Teagle were mentioned in connection with the
deal, and in the following month, October 15, the press linked
an Ethiopian arms order to the Rickett deal. This followed the
traditional practise of the Rockefeller Empire, of playing all
ends against the center. Shortly thereafter, the British,
acting on behalf of the League of Nations, offered Haile
Selassie a negotiated peace for surrender to the Italians of
the oil-rich Fafan Valley in the Harrar Province---the
original 1923 concession to the Rockefeller interests. This
was rejected on December 12, 1935.
"In the meantime, belated economic sanctions were ordered by
the League of Nations to go into effect November 18, 1935, and
continued until July 15, 1936, after termination of the war.
The Rockefeller empire, which had assured Mussolini in advance
that no effective sanctions would be applied in respect to
that absolute essential of modern war---oil---made good on its
assurance. On December 4, 1935, the press announced that the
Rockefeller interests would defy the League and supply
Mussolini with oil from the Romanian fields; on December 12,
Socony Vacuum announced the building of two refineries for
Mussolini in Naples; and on January 8, 1936, it was announced
that Italy might get oil from Germany. The Ethiopian oilfields
are now controlled by the Rockefeller interests through the
Sinclair Oil Corporation. The red that tints their end
product, ethyl gasoline, might well be Italian and Ethiopian
blood. " (Chedney Press, NY, 1952, pp. 202-3)
During the Italian invasion (1935-36) Haile Selassie personally led his
troops against the enemy. He lived in exile in England until 1941, when
he returned and claimed the throne. After World War II he instituted
social and political reforms, such as establishing a national assembly
in 1955. In September 1974, however, he was deposed by an army coup and
arrested, and in August 1975, died under house arrest and questionable
circumstances, and was secretly buried. It is noteworthy that the last
monarch of this African nation, Haile Selassie, was a Coptic Christian
who called himself the "Lion of Judah" and claimed direct descent from
King Solomon of Israel. Rastafarians believe in the divinity of
Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I, referred to as "the most High" and
"Jah," or God. Salvator Allende, who was murdered in the coup which
installed Pinochet, was a member of the Grand Orient Masonic Lodge.
In 1979, Mr. John Tuit and other church officials brought a class action
suit against the various WCG entities for "siphoning off the property
and assets of the Church and appropriating them to their own personal
use and benefit on a massive scale amounting to several million dollars
per year." (Tuit, p. 186) A reporter with the Los Angeles Times, invited
to write the story, was removed from the assignment due to the
newspaper's (i.e., CFR) interest in protecting the WCG:
Ambassador College, in conjunction with the Kress Foundation,
has been engaged in archeological expeditions in Syria.
Franklin Murphy, the chairman of the Board of the Kress
Foundation, was the former Chancellor of the University of
California, Los Angeles, and is now chairman of the Board of
the Times Mirror Corporation, publishers of the Los Angeles
Times. Franklin Murphy is also a member of the Council of
Foreign Relations. The pieces fit very well here as this
begins to explain why Bert Mann, the reporter for the Los
Angeles Times, was pulled off the receivership story in
January 1979. While the story was prominently featured in the
Pasadena papers, it was buried in the back pages of the Times.
(The Truth Shall Make You Free, p. 289)
What was left of the Worldwide Church of God after public exposure of
massive corruption -- criminal fraud, obstruction of justice, bribery,
abject immorality at the highest levels and cult-like control of church
members -- changed its doctrinal statement to resemble the
formerly-regarded "Satanic" Protestant churches. This superficial reform
conveniently qualified WCG to join the apostate World Evangelical
Fellowship. Joseph W. Tkach, who succeeded Herbert Armstrong in 1986,
was Stanley Rader's lieutenant and had been ordained with Rader and his
accomplice Ellis LaRavia in their 1979 emergency attempt to maintain
control of the WCG.
There are references in sermons by WCG evangelist, Gerald Waterhouse, to
Tkach having been "born of the right lineage" and "a physical Levite."
Joseph Tkach, like his predecessor, "maintain[ed] contacts with the rich
and powerful. [In 1988], for instance, Tkach and his entourage attended
private receptions for the Duke and Duchess of York ('Andy and Fergy')
at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles and aboard the royal yacht
Britannia (WN, 3/28/88, p. 1) Joseph W. Tkach's son, Joseph Tkach, Jr.,
became president of the Worldwide Church of God in 1995. [Ambassador
Report, March 1989]
An ally of the Worldwide Church of God throughout its demise was the
Faith Center Church of W. Eugene Scott, who still preaches the doctrine
of British-Israel that was popularized by Herbert W. Armstrong. It was
the Los Angeles attorney general's investigation of Scott's misuse of
funds in 1978 that prompted members of the Worldwide Church of God to
request an investigation of their own church.
Rader's attempts to woo the public, though mostly futile, have
resulted in at least one alliance. HWA has for years branded
all churches other than his own as being "Satan's churches."
However, Stanley Rader, along with Ralph Helge, recently
appeared on the "Festival of Faith," a controversial religious
television program hosted by media-minister Gene Scott. (In
Los Angeles, "Festival of Faith" is telecast almost around the
clock on Scott's own station, KHOF, channel 30.) Scott, a
former financial consultant to Oral Roberts, is himself under
investigation by both the attorney general and the FCC over
financial dealings. Rader, of course, had nothing but kind
words for Scott as both pledged their mutual support in
fighting the attorney general. (Ambassador Report, 6/1/79)
