    Appendix 2An analysis of the Fabian Society, a group of influential intellectuals who advocated for a socialist world order. The author claims that the Fabians, through their work on eugenics, population control, and scientific management, were striving to create a global empire based on scientific principles. The text further contrasts the Fabian vision with the approach of Franklin Roosevelt, who sought a world order based on national sovereignty and international cooperation. It argues that Roosevelt's anti-colonial vision was thwarted by the influence of the Fabian Society and its members like John Maynard Keynes, who succeeded in shaping the Bretton Woods Agreement to serve the interests of the British Empire.

    Appendix 1The Round Table movement aimed to revive the British Empire by indoctrinating young elites into a system of scientific dictatorship and materialist struggle.The Round Table movement used the ideas of Thomas Huxley’s X Club, a group of imperial intellectuals, to justify the rule of the strong over the weak. This idea of a “scientific dictatorship” was promoted by the X Club as a means of controlling the masses and saving the collapsing British Empire. The X Club also aimed to establish a “new scientific religion based upon Charles Darwin’s highly materialistic model of Natural Selection”.The movement, as envisioned by Cecil Rhodes, sought to create a secret society that would extend British rule through colonization and the indoctrination of young elites. Rhodes established the Rhodes Trust to achieve this goal, providing scholarships and networking opportunities to promising young individuals, primarily from Anglo-Saxon nations. These individuals, upon completion of their studies, would return to their home countries and use their positions in government, media, and academia to advance the goals of the British Empire. The Round Table movement aimed to shape public perception and steer society away from progress and truth towards a “materialistic struggle for survival.”
