Introduction
The following report on “The Power of the British Commonwealth Over the World”
began when I was at the WTO meeting in Cancun in September 2003. There, several
African countries held a press briefing in which they said that they would starve if
America and other rich countries did not open their cotton and agricultural markets to
them. I asked several questions about their vast natural resources (gold and strategic
minerals) and if they had any monies left over after their World Bank loans were paid.
They refused to answer. Afterward I spoke to each one and asked the following
questions and received the same response. Since they were Commonwealth members,
I asked if they could go to Britain for help. They could not. So I then asked why they
don’t withdraw from the Commonwealth if there is no help. With great alarm, they
told me they could not withdraw from this voluntary association. When I returned
home, I called the British Information Office to see if they could tell me if the
countries which Britain de-colonized in the 1950’s, 60’s, and 70’s received a vote at
the UN at the time of separation. The lady told me she would have to research my
very good question. She called the next day to tell me that every time a country was
granted independence from Britain, they were given a vote at the UN. Bingo!

I have always questioned how Britain would regain control of America when they
were defeated by Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans in 1812. Are we so
naive to think that they would not try some other way to “capture the world”? In the
past ten years, as I have covered the UN, I have been amazed at the number of
suggestions and key reports that come from the British which influence UN policy.
So, just how much power does Britain have in the world today?

The first book that I wrote is Prince Charles the Sustainable Prince which has to do
with the role of the British Royal Family as the power behind the United Nations.
This book asserts that the British ARE the power behind the United Nations. This
opinion has not changed since I wrote Prince Charles. The prince is a key, behind-the-
scenes mover and shaker and is responsible for the radical environmental agenda that
perverts Genesis 1, 2, and 3 and puts the earth above man and not man above the earth
as God intended. When I wrote Prince Charles, I was not aware of the information
you are now going to read.

A Brief History of Britain

The following is taken from the Internet site, “britania,” and is from England, A
Narrative History by Peter N. Williams. What I have tried to do is to show the
aggressiveness of this little island nation and its role in the world today. Some of the
sub-titles are my interpretation of the material reprinted.

Early History
The Celtic culture in Early Britain developed about 1000 BC and came from Gaul,
driven from their homelands by the Romans who invaded in 55BC under Julius
Caesar. In 43 AD an expedition was ordered against Britain by Emperor Claudius who
sent an army of 40,000 men. The Romans established their bases in what is known as
Kent and subdued much of Britain in less than 40 years. They remained for nearly 400
years. After the Romans left, England entered a dark period. By 314 an organized
Christian Church seems to have been established in most of Britain. By 410 Britain
had become self-governing in three parts. In 597 St. Augustine was sent to convert the
pagan English by Pope Gregory. Ethelbert had married Bertha, daughter of the
Merovingian King and was practicing Christianity. The first Anglo-Saxon kingdom in
Britain was an Anglo-Celtic kingdom. In 726, Aethelbold called himself “King of
Britain” while his son Offa called himself “king of all the English.” For several
hundred years, various kings in various part of Britain tried to gain control. In 896,
Alfred occupied London. He was born in 849 and became King of Wessex in 871.
Due to his battles with the Danes, he succeeded in becoming the first king of England.
Throughout the 8th century, the Danes, Norwegians, Scandinavians, and British
fought as to who would have power and control. The Normans invaded England in
order to secure the throne for William of Normandy who was crowned King of
England at Westminster on Christmas Day, 1066. With him, came feudalism and a
new aristocracy. By 1086, other than small-estate holders, there were in the whole of
the land only two Englishmen holding estates of any dimension. William insisted that
landowners who had land from the king produce a set quota of mounted knights
which produced a new ruling class in England. In this system, those at the bottom
suffered most, losing all their rights as free men and coming to be regarded as mere
property, assets belonging to the manor.

Feudalistic Sustainable Development

Further restrictions and hardship came from William’s New Forest laws and his vast
extension of new royal forests in which all hunting rights belonged to the king. The
peasantry was deprived of a valuable food source in times of bad harvests. In 1080,
the “Domesday Book” was begun and was an attempt to provide the king with every
penny to which he was legally entitled. It worked only too well, reckoning the wealth
of England, “Down to the last pig.” William sent his men into every village and had
them find out how many hides there were, what land and cattle the king should have
in the country, and what dues he ought to have in twelve months from the town or
village [JV: Does this sound like sustainable development and the UN Biological
Diversity Treaty?].
From the rule of the Plantagenet’s to Richard the Lionhearted and the Crusades to
King John who was forced to sign the “Great Magna Carta” in Runnymede on June
15, 1215, to Edward I, Longshanks to Henry VIII and to Queen Elizabeth I, the
British kings and queens were concerned with holding on to the power of the
monarchy.

As a result of the defeat of the Spanish Armada by Elizabeth I and her long reign,
England saw remarkable economic growth and a time of calm from her chaotic past.
Industry and trade prospered under the guidance of men like Secretary Cecil, later
Lord Burghley. [JV: It should be noted that Lord Burghley perfected torture
techniques and the secret police.] During her reign, many of the Dutch bankers and
capitalists from Antwerp flocked to London to find a new and more secure
international money and credit market. That year Thomas Gresham opened the Royal
Exchange in London to make it the financial capital of the world. Cecil encouraged
the fishing industry, the source of England’s navy and backbone of its sea power.
English sailors began their mastery of the world’s oceans. Though little more than
pirates, these seamen laid the foundations of their nation’s naval superiority which
was to last for centuries. John Cabot discovered Newfoundland in 1497, Martin
Frobisher established trade with Moscow in 1555 to trade with Russia. Sir Francis
Drake searched the world for treasures.

Key British Economic and Trade Concepts

In 1694, the Bank of England was formed by a private stock company which raised
their own funds and issued their own money to be lent to the government “in
perpetuity.” This started the concept of “central banking.” Then a group of merchants
and sea captains at Lloyd’s Coffee House in 1688 formed marine insurance which
would underwrite enormous expenditures in overseas ventures and shipping. On May
26, 1698, Parliament came up with the idea of granting monopolies in trade by an act
of Parliament. This act created the East India Company. This company, with the newly
formed Bank of England showed only too well the growing power of the British
traders and financiers over the state government (emphasis added). [JV: This is very
key for they still rule the world today.]

As a result of the East India Trading Company, the trading classes were able to control
parliament. It became one of the ever-increasing problems for the country’s
government: the interference of trade with legislation and administration was to
become an inevitable part of the future.

In 1496, John and Sebastian Cabot discovered Newfoundland and Nova Scotia.
England’s own era of exploration, initiated by the Cabots, was expanded by the
journeys of Hugh Willoughby to seek a Northeast Passage to China and the spice
trade. He reached Moscow by way of the White Sea and Archangel in 1553. As a
result, the Muscovy Company was founded by Richard Chancellor to trade with
Russia in 1555. Then John Hawkins, who began his career high-jacking Portuguese
and Spanish ships in 1562, led to England’s entering the Slave Trade. David Ingram
explored from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada and reported finding vines with grapes
as large as a man’s thumb. English mariner Francis Drake undertook his daring
voyage of 1572 to capture the Spanish treasure fleet returning from Peru, a feat
surpassed by his even greater haul one year later.
In 1580, Drake arrived back in Plymouth having circumnavigated the globe in the
Pelican, renamed the Golden Hind after the gallant ship had passed through the Straits
of Magellan. Drake was knighted by the Queen after capturing the richest prize ever
taken at sea. In 1584, Sir Walter Raleigh established a colony in Roanoke, Virginia.
One year later, Chesapeake Bay was discovered by Ralph Lane and Davis Strait by
John Davis.

In 1585, the first oriental spice to be grown in the New World, Jamaican ginger,
arrived in Europe. In 1586, Sir Richard Cavendish became the third man to
circumnavigate the globe when the ship the Desire reached England after a voyage of
over two years. When the Portuguese closed its spice market in Lisbon to Dutch and
English traders, the Dutch East India Company was created to obtain spices directly
from the Orient. In 1600, the Honorable East India Company was chartered to make
annual voyages to the Indies and to challenge Dutch control of the spice trade.

After James I made peace with Spain in 1604, he re-directed England’s efforts at
colonizing North America and the Plymouth and London companies sent ships and
colonists. Jamestown, Virginia was founded in 1607. That same year, Henry Hudson
sought a route to China and sailed around the Eastern Short of Greenland. In 1610,
Hudson’s ship Discovery reached the strait later to be known as Hudson Bay, Canada.
In 1620, the Mayflower arrived off Cape Cod with 100 Pilgrims. In 1628, John
Endicott arrived as the first Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In 1632,
Maryland received its charger by a grant from King Charles to Cecil Calvert. In 1655,
Admiral Penn captured Jamaica from the Spanish. In 1654, New Amsterdam was
renamed New York after its capture from the Dutch. A year later, the New Jersey
Colony was founded by English colonists. The 1674 Treaty of Westminster returned
New York and Delaware to England. In 1681, Pennsylvania had its beginning in the
land grant given to William Penn. In 1698, William Dampier sailed on his Pacific
expedition to explore the West Coast of Australia.

In 1648, South Africa came to attention of Europeans when a Dutch ship broke up and
the survivors urged authorities to establish a settlement for provisioning their East
India fleets. In 1652, a small group of Dutch settlers founded Cape Town. In 1815,
Britain gained its long-desired “half-way house” on the sea route to India when the
Dutch ceded the Cape of Good Hope. The British arrived in 1820. When diamonds
were discovered in the Orange Free State, the Boer War began. Then gold was
discovered in the Transvaal in 1886. Cecil Rhodes who founded the De Beers Mining
Corporation in 1880 was determined that the riches being discovered in South Africa
were not going to the Boer farmers. Rhodes dreamed of extending British rule in
Africa. Using his great wealth, amassed in the diamond and gold fields, Rhodes with
other imperialists established British colonies to the north of the Boer territories. Both
Northern and Southern Rhodesia were granted charters by London. Eventually the
Boer republics were annexed to the British crown in 1900.

The South Sea company founded in 1711 had acquired a monopoly in the lucrative
Spanish slave trade and other trading ventures in South America.

At the Treaty of Paris in 1763, Britain gained Canada, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, the
right to navigate the Mississippi, the West Indian Islands of Grenada, St. Vincent,
Dominica and Tobago in the West Indies; Florida (from Spain); Senegal in Africa and
the preservation in India of the East India Company’s monopoly, and in Europe,
Minorca.

In India, Robert Clive defeated pro-French forces at Arcot in 1751 thus helping his
East India Company monopolize appoints, finances, land and power. The British
victory led to the withdrawal of the French East India Company. Then Clive defeated
the local Nabob at Plassey to become virtual ruler of Bengal and opened up much of
the country to further exploitation and control by the East India Company. India was
regarded as the “jewel in the crown” of the British Empire; over two thirds of the vast
sub-continent was ruled by the East India Company. Its finances and its troops were
used to protect British interests, even overthrowing native Indian princes.

In 1769, Captain Cook discovered a country that consisted of two main islands, it was
called New Zealand. In 1770, he explored the eastern coast of what was then called
“New Holland.”’ He took possession of the island continent in the name of George III.
Britain had found a new empire, Australia to resettle criminals and to accommodate
early settlers to help with the overpopulation in Britain which the agricultural and
industrial revolutions had contributed to. In 1822, an article by James Mill on
“colonization” in the “Encyclopedia Britannica” offered emigration as a remedy for
over-population.

Between 1768 and 1781, Captain Cook made three exploratory voyages to the West
Coast of Canada. Because the Chinese were interested in receiving fur in exchange for
the tea, silks and porcelain which was in demand in Europe, the British went further
west. In 1788, a group of English traders settled on Vancouver Island. Spain still
claimed the whole West Coast of America up to Alaska but after a confrontation at
Vancouver between the two countries, England presented an ultimatum to the Spanish
whose lack of allies and an effective navy forced them to accept its terms. The
Spanish recognition of British trading and fishing rights in the area opened the way
for the establishment of British Columbia and the creation of a British North America.
In 1867, the British North America Act united Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia in the Dominion of Canada.

When Admiral Nelson defeated a combined French and Spanish fleet near Gibraltar in
1805, the long struggle between Britain and France for world supremacy ended.
English soldiers were involved in a war with China over British export of opium from
India in exchange for silks and tea. When China forbade the opium trade and fired on
a British warship, they were bombarded by a Royal Navy squadron. The Opium War
ended with the Treaty of Nanking in 1842 that opened up five “Treaty Ports” for trade
and gave Hong Kong to Britain.

Britain’s rise to a world power meant that she found interest everywhere. Not only
was she now head of the self-governing colonies such as Australia, Canada, New
Zealand, but also the vast Empire of India and a veritable host of dependent territories
all over the world’s oceans. Most of these had been acquired somehow to protect the
merchants and traders of England. On the following page, you will find a chart of
British interference and domination in the affairs of the world.
Observations of Commonwealth Countries
While I could make numerous observations about the various countries that comprise
the Commonwealth countries, I would like to offer the following:

1. There is an interesting mix between extremely

wealthy countries such as Australia, Canada, Brunei, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and UAE
versus the Highly Indebted Poor Countries-HIPC such as Bangladesh, Mozambique,
Uganda and the Sudan.

See British Domination in World Affairs

Many of the HIPC have vast mineral resources which are used to pay for World Bank
loans instead of building infrastructure. Please refer to Prince Charles the Sustainable
Prince. For example:

Ghana – Rich in gold, bauxite, manganese, diamonds

Guyana – Rich in bauxite, manganese, gold, diamonds
Mauritania – Iron and copper ore
Senegal – Petroleum refining
Sierra Leone – Diamonds, chrome, bauxite and iron ore
Uganda – Copper and cobalt
Tanzania – Rich in gold, diamonds and coal
Zambia – Rich in copper.

2. By the number of countries that the British invaded, ruled and plundered, you can
see that “the sun never sets on the British Empire.”

3. Israel was a British Mandate and then was made a country by vote at the United
Nations.

4. The financial and economic power of some of the Commonwealth Countries and
those invaded by the British is as follows:

Australia – rich in coal, gold, meat, wool, machinery, iron ore, bauxite, natural gas,
uranium and petroleum.
Brunei – Rich in oil and gas with 79 million barrels of oil exported in 2001. It also has
forests, fish, rubber and pepper.
Kuwait – Has 10% of the world’s oil reserves at 98 billion barrels.
India – Has textiles, chemicals, steel, transportation equipment, cement and
petroleum.
Nigeria – The most populous country with proven oil reserves of 27 billion barrels
and natural gas reserves of 4 trillion cubic feet along with coal, peanuts and palm oil.
Malaysia – Rubber, palm oil and electronics.
Oman -Has oil and natural gas with some copper, gold, manganese, and goal.
Qatar – Has 5% of the world’s oil reserves of 14.6B barrels and proven natural gas of
17.9% trillion cubic feet.
Singapore – Electronics, chemicals, transportation equipment, one of the world’s
largest petroleum refining centers and an important ship-building center.
South Africa – The world’s largest producer of platinum, gold and chromium.
UAE – Has 10% of the world’s oil reserves estimated at 98.1 billion barrels and
natural gas at 5.8 trillion cubic feet as well as largest producer of dates and fresh
fruits, has a national shipping fleet of more than 4,000 vessels, produces aluminum,
chemicals, paper and pharmaceuticals.
Zimbabwe – Coal, gold, copper, nickel, tin, clay, steel, wood, cement and chemicals.

While we are at it, let us make mention that most of the off-shore trading and banking
is conducted in the Cayman Islands which is part of the UK. They have 40,000
companies as of 1998 with 600 banks and trusts. AT that time, banking exceeded
$500B.
Definition of Commonwealth
The English word, “Commonwealth”, dates from the 15th century and indicates one
of the following: a nation, state or political unit, a state founded on law by agreement
of the people for the common good, a republic, and/or a federated union of constituent
states. The Commonwealth of England was the official title of the political unit that
replaced the kingdoms of Scotland and England under the rule of Oliver Cromwell.

The states of Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Virginia are all

“commonwealths” which emphasizes they

have “government based on the common consent of the people” (Source:

Wikipedia.Org.)

The Commonwealth
According to an Internet encyclopedia, Wikipedia.org, “The Commonwealth of
Nations is a voluntary association of independent sovereign states, mostly formed by
the United Kingdom and its former colonies.” Countries that “acknowledge the
British monarch as head of state are known as Commonwealth Realms” while all
members recognize Queen Elizabeth II as Head of the Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth is the successor of the British Empire and has its origins in the
Imperial Conferences of the 1920s. The Commonwealth was established as an
association of free and equal states, and membership was based on common
allegiance to the British Crown.

The old British Empire, we are told, was dismantled after World War II beginning
with India and the activities of Mohandas Gandhi. A number of the countries that have
been de-colonized are republics. Because several left the Commonwealth, they
established the London Declaration which provided for members to accept the British
monarch as Head of the Commonwealth regardless of their domestic constitutional
arrangements, and are now considered by many to be the start of the modern
Commonwealth.

The population of the Commonwealth is about 1.8 billion people which comprise
about 30% of the world’s population. India is the most populous member with a
billion people while Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nigeria have more than 100 million
people. The land of Commonwealth nations equals about ¼ of the world’s land area.
Membership is open to countries that accept the association’s basic aims.
In recent years, the Commonwealth has suspended Fiji (2000-2001), Pakistan from
1999-2004, Nigeria from 1995 – 1999, Zimbabwe was suspended in 2002 and left the
Commonwealth in 2003.

Organization and Objectives

Queen Elizabeth II is the nominal Head of the Commonwealth. Since 1965 there has
been a London-based Secretariat. The current Commonwealth Secretary-General is
the former New Zealand Foreign Minister Don McKinnon.

The objectives of the Commonwealth were set down in The Harare Declaration of
1991. While it is not a long declaration, part of it is reprinted only to show that there
really is no real reason for the UK to have the Commonwealth except to control the
UN through the Commonwealth. Its goals are exactly those of the UN. The
Declaration states in part,

The Heads of Government of the countries of the Commonwealth reaffirm their

confidence In the Commonwealth as a voluntary association of sovereign independent
states, each Responsible for its own policies, consulting and co-operating in the
interests of their peoples and in the promotion of international understanding and
world peace.

The Commonwealth way is to seek consensus through consultation and the sharing of
experience. It is uniquely placed to serve as a model and as a catalyst for new forms
of friendship and co-operation to all in the spirit of the Charter of the United Nations.

We believe that international peace and order, global economic development and the
rule of International law are essential to the security and prosperity of mankind.

Internationally, the world is no longer locked in the iron grip of the Cold War.
Totalitarianism Is giving way to democracy and justice in many parts of the world.

Many Commonwealth countries are poor and face acute problems, including
excessive population growth, crushing poverty, debt burdens and environmental
degradation.

Only sound and sustainable development can offer these millions the prospect of
betterment. Achieving this will require a flow of public and private resources from the
developed to the developing world, and domestic and international regimes conducive
to the realization of these goals: environmental degradation, migration and refugees,
communicable diseases and drug production and trafficking.

Having reaffirmed the principles to which the Commonwealth is committed, we

pledge the Commonwealth and our countries to work with renewed vigor,
concentrating especially In the following areas: the protection and promotion of the
fundamental political values of the Commonwealth…
How Voluntary is the Commonwealth?
You would think that if a country was de-colonized that Britain would have a “hands-
off” policy. That is not the case. Every Commonwealth country that acknowledges the
queen as head of state has a representative of the queen who is called a “Governor-
General.” The Governor-General retains all the reserve powers that the Queen
exercises in the UK which includes opening and closing parliament and abolishing
parliament. Furthermore, the Governor-General appoints the prime minister and
cabinet from the part with the most support from the House of Commons. In Canada,
for example, the ten provinces all have a representative of the Queen! When
Parliament is opened, both the prime minister and the Governor-General give a
speech. The Governor-General delivers “The Speech from the Throne.”

Commonwealth Votes at the UN

When the UN was formed in 1945, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom
had three votes. As the UK de-colonized countries, they were made voting members
of the United Nations. Then between 1946-1959 when the United Kingdom de-
colonized a number of countries, their votes increased by four: Ghana, Malaysia,
Pakistan and Sir Lanka. During 1960-1969, twenty more countries were de-colonized:
Barbados, Botswana, Cameroon, Cyprus, Gambia, Guyana, Jamaica, Kenya, Lesotho,
Malawi, Maldives, Malta, Mauritius, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Swaziland,
Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda and Zambia. During 1970-79, ten more countries de-
colonized: Bahamas, Bangladesh, Dominica, Fiji, Grenada, Mozambique, Papau New
Guinea, Samoa, and Solomon Islands. During 1980-89, seven more countries de-
colonized: Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Brunei Darussalam, Saint Kitts and Nevis,
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Vanuatu, and Zimbabwe. The last country to de-
colonize was Namibia.

In addition, associated states, external territories and dependencies include: Anguilla,

Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Channel Islands, Falkland Islands,
Isle of Man, Montserrat, Pitcairn Islands, St. Helena, and Turks and Caicos Islands.
Those that come as a result of being part of Australia or New Zealand include:
Christmas Island, Cocos Island, Cook Islands, Niue, Norfolk Island, and Tokelau.

Canada and the Free Trade Areas of the Americas

Our neighbor to the north and our largest trading partner, Canada, is the largest
member of the Commonwealth in this hemisphere. Canada is America’s largest
trading partner—surpassing our trade with Japan. On a daily basis the volume is over
$1B or about $400B a year. Twenty-three percent of American exports are sent to
Canada and more than 80% of Canada’s exports come to us. Canada is the largest
export market for 39 of the 50 states. We import 80% of Canada’s wood, paper and
pulp and 17% of their oil and 18% of their natural gas. Furthermore, we not only
share energy grids all across the northern borders but New England obtains most of
their power from Quebec.
From a military standpoint, over the past 46 years, America has been inextricably
linked to Canada through our joint military efforts through the North American
Aerospace Defense Command-NORAD. On September 11, it was a Canadian general
who was holding the chair at NORAD that gave the order to initiate our defenses. As
a result of September 11, more than 200 commercial planes were diverted to airports
across our country from coast to coast. Since then both countries have implemented
measures to strengthen military cooperation as well as law enforcement and
intelligence agencies. In December 2002, they established the Bi-national Planning
Group to develop joint plans for maritime and land defense, and for military support
to civil authorities in times of emergency. In Canada, President Bush expressed hope
that our two countries would move forward on a ballistic missile defense system.
In November, 2004 President Bush told Canada’s Prime Minister Paul Martin at a
meeting on “Common Security, Common Prosperity, A new Partnership in North
America, “It’s good to be home.” He went on to declare, “Both the U.S. and Canada
participate together in more multinational institutions than perhaps any two nations on
earth—from NATO to the OAS to APEC in the Pacific.” He went several steps
forward when he pledged,

My country is determined to work as far as possible within the framework of

international organizations and we’re hoping that other nations will work with us to
make those institutions more relevant and more effective in meeting the unique threats
of our time.

With all this “interconnectedness,” I would like to seriously question our involvement
with, not only Canada, but the Free Trade Areas of the Americas-FTAA which is a
trading zone for all the countries in our hemisphere. Begun in 1994, the various
cabinet level secretaries of the 34 countries have been meeting throughout the year
since then to integrate our laws. In a the Western Hemisphere, Canada, Antigua, the
Bahamas, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Lucia, St. Kitts and
Nevis, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago are members of the
British Commonwealth. We are outvoted by 13 votes to our one vote in our own
hemisphere! Let’s take a look at the voting power of the Commonwealth in the world
today.

THE VOTING POWER OF THE COMMONWEALTH IN THE WORLD TODAY

Starting with the founding of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in
1944, an economic international infrastructure was established which was followed by
a political international infrastructure above the nation-states. Over the last 61 years,
this infrastructure has been developed to include trade, law, the military and now
intelligence as a result of the September 11 terrorist attacks on America. Interestingly
enough, the Commonwealth of Nations operates in each of these organizations. Not
once has an American President said, “Chose either the UN or the Commonwealth.”
On the following page, you will see the power of the Commonwealth. We are
outvoted with our one vote at every turn.

Let me just make mention that on a regional basis, the U.S. and the world are also
outvoted: Free Trade Areas of the Americas by 13 votes, two votes in the European
Union, and seven votes at the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation!

Furthermore, whenever a committee is formed at the UN, they rotate “presidency”.

For example, if there are 4 Commonwealth countries that are part of a committee of
15, that means Britain is president 25% of the time. This is occurring throughout ALL
of the hundreds of committees, agencies, organizations, etc. throughout the WHOLE
of the UN system.

IN CONCLUSION
In conclusion, I believe the purpose behind the construction of the international level
is to transfer complete and absolute power to Britain.

I can now see why Prince Charles was working behind the scenes. For him to be
center-stage along with the power of the Commonwealth would look like they are in
the process of using Francis Drake’s pirating methods to grab the world! You can now
see how The British have the majority of votes in the global organizations of the
world through the Commonwealth and not one major power has questioned the ability
of the Commonwealth to operate in tandem with the other global organizations!

And while we are on the subject of being outvoted, let us turn to the EU for a
moment. When it came together the whole purpose was to create a “United States of
Europe.” Now that the travel and trade barriers are down between the European states
which now total 25, and they have adopted a common currency which is giving the
dollar a run for her money, and they have a common parliament in Strasbourg, how
come, they still have 25 votes at the UN instead of ONE? America has 50 states and
we only get ONE vote! There, the Commonwealth has two votes: Malta and the UK.
Globally Queen Elizabeth II has out-maneuvered more than what her namesake did
when she defeated the Spanish Armada!
_______________
“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the
earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against
his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder and cast away their cords from
us. He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then
shall he speak to them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I
set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare: Thou art my Son; this day have
I begotten thee. Ask of me and I shall give thee the heathen for your inheritance and
the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.” Psalms 2
