DO WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

By Norman Green-Price

My true interest in writing this book is not to promote my own story, for as intriguing as that might be for my family and friends and indeed myself, against the backdrop of the deluge of biographies swamping us these days, this would be just another human endeavor, which would add little to the overall picture, which in my opinion is as serious as we have ever faced. I am not alone in the conviction that the glory of unrepentant Man is shortly coming to an end, and will be replaced by the rule of repentant and renewed Man under Gods direction. This is the story that I intend to shout from the house tops, for surely, this is what should be relevant to all of us today, if my prognosis is correct! My aim is to put down a few markers as to the true history of this world as I now understand it, as credulous and eye-opening as that has been to me personally, and to point to the possible road ahead. This should be of interest to most people, especially if they are prepared to consider the unbelievable, and desire to engage in necessary steps to change the situation should that be required. If not, I believe sadly their future may be bleak! In order to achieve this, my aim is to try and bridge the gap between the events of my former years and the present. With the benefit of this hindsight, to show where the events experienced, now seem to be heading. To achieve this, however, I have and shall continue to draw on the input of others, many of whom have greater experience than myself in 1

2 their particular fields, and whose life experience lends a different but hopefully and helpful perspective. My method is simply to place the facts before you as I see them, conscious that I see through a glass darkly. It is for others then to `decide their options, having weighed the evidence. My experience in the South Wales valleys had deepened my conviction that God actually existed; further that he was personally interested in my situation as well as the rest of Mankind, whom He had created, and was indeed the Counselor who could be trusted with the problems ahead. The task now was to establish to my own satisfaction whether the principles of life, illustrated in Chapters Two and Three of this book, found so applicable in solving some intractable problems of Britain, had a place elsewhere- namely in Europe. A friend suggested that I might like to visit Caux in Switzerland, the Headquarters of Moral Re-Armament in Europe. In the late 1940s, the world was then searching for the framework of a lasting peace, through a Europe that had been plagued by wars over many centuries. The secrets now stemming from Caux many felt could be the key. www.uk.iofc.org Frank Buchman and his colleagues had been given a vision of post-war Europe, which although seemingly in line with other world leaders such as Churchill, de Gaul of France, Adenauer of Germany, de Gasperie of Italy, and Truman, then President of the United States, carried a very different plan of how to go about it. While the politicians were mostly considering a mere physical transformation, Buchman, envisioned primarily a spiritually based solution, firmly established on a change in human nature, based on the Guidance of God. This was the unique new element injected

3 into this daunting situation came, especially Germany and her former allies of Italy and Japan. A successful integration for these nations into the new world, had to be found Frank Buchmans unique contribution was clearly spelled out in a broadcast he made at Interlaken called Guidance or Guns. Many at the time charged Buchman a with being a friend of Hitler. Although Frank Buchman believed that under God, the vilest character could be changed, he never met Herr Hitler, befriended him or had any doubt about the miracle that would be involved in such a process. Equally, he never shirked this challenge.

Many Gods Professed but only ONE GOD!

People today claim to be guided by God. Perhaps we should ask ourselves Which God? This is a pertinent question, for the true God warns us in the Bible that there are many gods and many spirits, and from the chaos and mayhem that so-called God Guided spirit-filled Man is daily producing, one has to wonder at the source of our inspiration. However, as I have tried to point out in the earlier chapters, there is ONE TRUE GOD, who is so keen to communicate with us that He sacrificed His Son to clear a direct path to Himself, without any human intermediaries! Unlike many theories, the fact is, that I had seen this essentially simple idea workout not only in my own life but in the lives of people very different from myself, and I therefore approached this experiment in Europe with high anticipation. It was this seemingly impossible vision of a united Europe, based on 3

4 the Eternal Laws of our Creator that Frank Buchman courageously set out to build and in which I was to be privileged to play a very minor role. Hindsight again has revealed the pitfalls to such a vision, some of which have been exposed.

The London Headquarters of MRA

First, a friend suggested I spend some time at the London Headquarters of Moral Re-armament at 45 Berkeley Square. Clive House, had been the home of Clive of India and had been purchased by friends of Dr. Buchman from all over the world as his home, where he could receive his many friends, who saw a united Europe, consisting of Soverein nations as the key to world peace.

In his book Frank Buchman A Life Garth Lean writes:

When in 1937, the year of King George VI's Coronation, Brown's Hotel could no longer provide the cut rates negotiated in the Depression, temporary offices and a flat nearby were taken. It was not until 1938 that the problem was solved by the purchase of 45 Berkeley Square, as a centre for hospitality and administration. The house had been the home of Lord Clive of India and its reception rooms, designed by Sir William Kent and Sir William Chambers, were ideal for large-scale meetings and entertaining. The Earl of Powys, Lord Clive, agreed to the use of the name 'Clive House', while regretting that, as far as he knew, the tradition that Lord Clive's ghost appeared from time to time was without foundation.

(* A 99-year lease of the house was bought for 35,000 and was the property of the Oxford Group.) On Buchman's sixtieth birthday in June 1938, while there was still no furniture or carpets in the house and nothing but hessian on the walls, a dinner for 200 was held for him there. It was an occasion which reflected his years in Britain. The white-haired Cockney, Tod Sloan, sat next to Lady Antrim (formerly Lady-in-waiting to the Queen). Today, few would raise an eyebrow, but in those days this was a veritable social revolution). Sloan was one of the few speakers. 'In Tidal Basin', he said, 'the people are really hungry for this new leadership. There are many homes in West Ham, East Ham, Barking, Ilford and Dagenham where whole families are living this quality of life. We must see its meaning is kept intact, that it stays a living, loving, obedient willingness to restore God to leadership and not merely words to use as a slogan.' Buchman recalled his first days in Cambridge when he felt that God had promised him a rebirth of Christian living in Britain within ten years. 'There was no Browns then; only my knees,' he said. Now he was looking forward to using this new house as a 'spiritual embassy' in the middle of London.

Understanding Life
During my time there I met many people from all walks of life, races, colours and creeds, eager to deepen their faith and understanding of life itself, and to do what they could, to help their country recover from the war years.

Tod Sloan was one of them. Diminutive in size, tenacious in character, Tod gave out an infectious

6 warmth and caring one could hardly believe, considering his exploited and often bitter background. He was indeed a transformed individual. This was confirmed by those I met, who knew him in his revolutionary days in Eastham. Tod, however made it quite plain to all he met that he was now engaged in a far greater revolution to offer the secret of change in the hearts and lives of men and women from whatever area of life they might come, starting with himself. Many today want to change the system. To this system change Tod had given his whole life, with disappointing results and with beatings and imprisonment as his reward. Tod now was totally clear that unless this change started with the individual, no change in the system would have lasting results. This was no happy clappy, pie in the sky, do good endeavour, but would be anchored in obedience to His Creator alone and a change in his nature, as he was enabled. Somebody explained this way of life as a democracy, designed by God and worked by everybody. My final recollection of Tod was several years later.

Tirley Garth
It was atTirley Garth, another beautiful home, overlooking the rich agricultural Cheshire landscape. This had been given to MRA in trust by Irene Prestwich and had been built by Irenes father, a successful Liverpool businessman. Irene, whom I got to know well during the years I was at Tirley helping to run this Centre, not only gave the only home she had, but gave generously of what income she possessed, in belief that God would provide abundantly, as she obeyed Him.

Tirley Garth became the focus of a work that stretched through the docks of Liverpool, the coal and pottery industry of North Staffordshire, throughout the Midlands and Birmingham, and finally across to the Yorkshire and Derbyshire coal fields. This is another story which may come later, but none less intriguing than the one we are about to explore. These where Tods final days, when illness had confined him to his bed. He was then in his 90s. Perched on his bed, I listened as he spoke to me about the need of the Love of God in people. He was wholly convinced, however, that such love could only be shown through obedience to the Almighty. Love was no sloppy, sentimental emotional thing for Tod, for he recognized the true source. Above his bed, I remember, was framed

God is Love.

It was Tods conviction that this kind of love was born out of obedience, where he explained Gods Will crosses my will and I choose Gods Will. This challenged me deeply.

Solution to the 1948 National Dock strike and Back to London.

Then there was Jack Manning, the leader of the 1948 dock strike, which crippled the country by stopping dead all imports and exports from and to this small island. Through the influence of friends, Jack too had found an answer to his bitterness against the dock employers, and a new family relationship at home. Within days, this strike, which had cost this country 248,000,000, which was a crippling sum of money in those days, had been settled. People especially those in the left wing of politics and in the press accused Frank Buchman and people like Jack of strikebreaking, but 7

8 the cure went far deeper than that. By such remarks,these people simply showed their ignorance and prejudices. It was understandable however, for they were oblivious to the fact that God, who had a plan, had always been in charge, and when obeyed would respond with the appropriate solutions. The significant thing to me about this solution was that no one appeared to 'set out' to solve this dispute, The solution was born through listening to God, in other words Guidance, received by Jack and a few of his friends and which Jack obeyed. People simply do not know today a fundamental fact of life stated clearly in the Bible:

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace.. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 1 Corinthians14:33; 2 Timothy 1:7
These are not platitudinous, pie in the sky quotations, but reality as to how Our Creator means us to live! Just as the Law of Gravity works scientificaly, so do the above facts, if put into action! This newfound infectious life inspired many a revolutionary trades unionist and employer to move forward to that greater revolution, where hatred of some was supplanted by a growing and continuing Love and respect for all. Today, we hope industrial relations have moved on, and people are much more accepting of each others foibles, but in those days class and racial strife, fomented by Communism and left and right-wing politics, highlighted such moves to reconciliation as being unusual.

Inspiration Among the Pots and Pans

Fred Copeman, an impressive, broad shouldered, six-foot plus individual, with a boxers chin and nose to match, turned up one day in 8

9 the basement of Clive House, where after a healthy meal, volunteers could offer their services to wash up the considerable pile of dishes, pots and pans that had collected. Fred had for many year served as a member of the British Communist Party National Executive, and was another who grasped the commonsense reality of Buchmans approach to seemingly unsolvable problems. Fred, like George Vaughan in South Wales, had also been trained in Moscow as a Communist, and had at one time been a leader of the International Brigade in Spain. (See Chapter 3 of Where Do We Go From Here? ) In animated discussion, Fred further enlightened, what now increasingly appeared to be my naive approach to life, which had already been severely shaken. It is perhaps understandable that I used to enjoy my excursions into the basement of 45 Berkeley Square, for one never knew whom one would meet, and what might be the outcome. The cellars in this home had been converted during the war years into an air raid shelter, and subsequently into dining room and kitchen facilities. There were only a handful of paid staff, I think about two or three, to do a essential skilled work, such as building maintenance. A former skilled employee from Maples, the famous London furniture firm, was a great and much loved character, the name of whom escapes me. Everything else in headquarters of this worldwide work had to be run on a voluntary basis, supplied mainly by willing helpers, from various parts of the Home Counties, who seemed to materialize mysteriously at the right moment.

The War was Used by Communism to Take Control In Europe Communism A Force then and to-day!
In those days Communism was a tremendous force in Britain. During the war, Stalin had seized the opportunity when Russia was our ally, to infiltrate our education, trade unions, parliament, the church and every other significant area of control, including our media and education. Yet, as today, a remarkably few people seem to be aware that this was so, or if aware, seemed unconcerned. At least that was my experience when talking to people. Not so Frank Buchman, and those trained by him. The disturbing thing also today is, that very few seem to realize that with the demolishing of the Berlin Wall, Communism was not demolished with it; indeed it is flourishing today, but in a covert and more sinister way. Gorbachev, under whose Presidency the demolishing of the Wall was allowed, has drifted into the mystical back rooms of the New World Order, another headline that barely gets a mention in the Media these days, but still we now know he plays a significant role in its development. October 7th, 2013 (16.13) http://larouchepac.com/node/28442 Now the secret operations are considerably advanced and appear under different names, such as the New World Order, the Illuminati, the Bilderberg Group, the Tavistock Institute in London and the Council of Foreign Relations, to mention but a few. The European Union is also heavily infiltrated, but has now reached the ultimate synthesis, always envisaged by Marx, Lenin and the subsequent Communist leadership. 10

11

After the titanic struggle between Capitalism and Communism, especially since the last war, the always planned synthesis is now happening under the auspices of the Vatican Jesuits and their helpers like Michael Gorbachev! Why do you think Tony Blair and other prominent Western leaders are putting on the Vatican mantle? Why do you think the world, both East and West, pay homage to the Pope? Even the United Nations has its Communist- Capitalist agenda as its main plank, planned by powerful minds, as the future Global Government unfolds. It is well known that the UN is riddled with Communists, fellow travelers and New Age occultists. The overall aim is a simple one to shortly announce a World Government, with a new World Army, a World Security Police and Intelligence presence and a World Religion, led by the by the present Pontiff. This will be used to control a world population compliant through mind control and tight Security, just as George Orwell in his epic book 1984 foretold. Fortunately for us, the Almighty has different ideas which he is about to uneash and is offered as a LIFELINE to all who wish and have the common sense to take it. Later you will see a video about the Occult agenda of the United Nations and its sinister controlling role today in world affairs, which the glazed eyes of our main media fails to research and we allow to happen!

The Long View

Satan, whom the Bible refers to as the Angel of light and his

11

12 henchmen have been planning these things for eons. In the days of the great Bible believing preachers like Luther, Calvin, Moody, Wesley, Henry Drummond, Sturgen and others, most were all too aware of Satans presence and constantly engaged their audience in this reality. They spoke of the responsibility of Christians in effective Spiritual Warfare against the Devil and all his works.

12

13 In fact, if my memory serves me right from my Church of England days, those very words are the responsibility of Godparents.

Through the channel of Harry Potter and numerous other so-called fairy tales and entertainment in books and multi-million-dollar films in Hollywood, most fail to discern the sign of the times, in spite of the fact that the Bible gives us ample clues. Most homes and centers of education have jettisoned that book long but not Frank Buchman. To him the Bible was not to be waved around and glibly quoted, but to be revered and obeyed as the reality of life. This often gave him the insight as to the true intents of the person to whom he was speaking, which could be embarrassing! I remember being told of an incident, when Buchman was entertaining the Prime Minister of an Asian country. Across the table sat his Chief Adviser in Cabinet. Frank, after the meal turned to his guest and said, you want to watch that man, he is a plant in your Cabinet or words to that effect. It later turned out that hed been placed there by the Communist Party, and was able to dominate that politician through blackmail in his personal life. Sadly this is also happening in many cases today at great cost to those governed! It is also worth considering, that because many of us who are the governed, because we may be compromised in our own lives, are either too blind or unwilling to do anything affective about it. This was the fact that struck home to me those many years ago at Pirbright, and mercifully I was shown what I could do. Again you can read about this if you wish in Chapter 2 of this book the LINK of which is at the end.

We get the Leaders we deserve

Today it is significant that the country of which this politician was Prime Minister, is in the vice like grip of a dictatorship.although most people dont realise this. Sadly he did not take the hint from Frank Buchman. The reality is that whether of the right or left, Communist or Fascist, it matters not, whoever is living in that country have lost their freedom, and nobody, for whatever reason, as with Mugabe in Zimbabwe, seems to be inclined or able to do much about it! This intrigue and deception is going on today at all levels in all countries, including Britain.

You might like to look at this recent video, which will bring you up-tospeed as to what is now going on in this country and Europe. The author, Brian Gerrish, a former Royal Naval Commander, who held high intelligence clearance, as he hunted down Soviet Nuclear Submarines during the Cold War. He has now turned his abilities to sniffing out the latest strategies of the extreme left and right in Britain, and points to our governments true intentions in taking us into Europe and their sinister plan for our childrens education:

The First Japanese Delegation to visit the West After the War.
A strong parliamentary group of some 70 leaders from Japan, the first official delegation from Japan to visit the West since the war, where entertained at Clive House on their way to Caux in 1948. At that time, Mike and Margaret Barrett had asked me to help in the running of the home. What happened during that time at Clive House and the remarkable outcome, is told in another chapter of this book, which will shortly appear. A brief incident, however, which at the time caused considerable concern and is embedded on my memory. The Japanese apparently have not only a passion for cleanliness and enjoy frequent bathing, but have a practice of allowing the water to run continuously. One evening several of us where discussing matters in one of the rooms in Clive House, which supported a magnificent Adams ceiling decorated with embossed goldleaf. A mysterious sound of dripping water could be heard, to be followed with an increasing wet patch on the guilded ceiling. Ascending the spiral staircase as fast as I could muster, I found water issuing from the bath room on the floor above. Through the door I tried to explain to the occupant what was happening. Finally, the flood was stemmed, and the problem dealt with. Fortunately, it was possible to dry out the sealing, and minimal damage was done. Our upset guest was overcome with distress and apologized profusely.

Some Lessons Learned

evel. As interference on radio or TV reception cause problems, so interference of guidance by a sources other than the Spirit of God, can cause confusion and had to be dealt with, before a satisfactory solution could be found. Since we were dealing with people, the often well-meaning but blundering efforts of man seemed only to exacerbate the problem. Only solutions originating with the Creator seemed to bring effective conclusions. Of course, being human, we did not always get it right! The experiment nevertheless was fun, and when it was working, life seemed full of surprises! The Barretts had spent many years working closely with Frank Buchman and although challenging, the influence of Franks wisdom, his concern for people, detail, humour and sense of fun was infectious. Garth Lean in his book gives something of what it was like to work around Buchman:

At Whitsun 1935 Buchman's secretary, Joyce Machin, died suddenly of a tumour of the brain. Michael Barrett and another young Scot, Lawson Wood, volunteered to take on her duties. Barrett was the son of an Edinburgh printer and had been in the Oxford ju-jitsu team. Wood had read law at Aberdeen. Both were around 25, and each had an ample supply of Scots determination and pride. They learnt typing and speed-writing and set to work.

16

17

Barrett, who married one of Lloyd George's grand-daughters, remarked recently that he much preferred A.J. Sylvester's to the other lives of Lloyd George, 'because it showed how impossible it was to be his secretary'. 'Like Buchman,' he added with a smile. For one thing, he explained, Buchman, often seemed astonished if letters he dictated were not perfectly typed and ready for the post the moment they had left his mouth, besides expecting you to know to whom he was writing without being told. Once they were in Egypt together and, while they showed their travelling companions the citadel above Cairo, Buchman remarked, 'We must write so-and-so.' Directly they got into the taxi to return to Cairo, Buchman began dictating, and continued, without let-up, through a series of tunnels in complete darkness. 'I got most of it, and remembered or made up the rest,' said Barrett.
John Faber, a former naval officer, ran the MRA publications with Rex Dilly under Ken Belden, in whose home John Faber and I lived for some time, at 43 Charles Street, a stones throw from 45 Berkley square. Ken and Stella Belden where a jovial warm-hearted couple, and included me in their family affairs in a wonderful way. Before working with the Barretts, my job was to help John and Rex. This meant mainly parcelling and dispatching worldwide the numerous and ever increasing documents, books and pamphlets as they rolled off the presses. To help us, friends from throughout the London area would travel into Hayes Mews to give their time. The day would usually start with a brief meeting, when with these volunteers, we would all assemble briefly, to exchange ideas as appropriate, and then decide together, where the days priority lay. Life bubbled with laughter and much leg pulling.

17

18 Through it all, however, the needs of people where in the forefront of our minds. We often found that as a result of waiting on guidance to mature, problems seemed to solve themselves on the hoof as it where.

Intuition
Intuition pressed itself to the fore; where previously I had just ignored it, now I became acutely aware of such inner prompting. A simple thought enacted, could change the whole tenor of life, and we soon discovered that problems solved in families, sometimes transformed into solutions in industry and the nation. The arrogance of an over confident former young Guards Officer is small beer for the Almighty to overcome! One day, Rex Dilly, whose pride and joy was his newly restructured Austin Seven daubed in dark green paint, took the rash decision to announce that he would appreciate my help in fetching his car from its garage in Hayes Mews, as he was pressed for time. As the engine burst into life, the reverse gear was engaged, and we majestically reversed out of the garage. When time came to apply the brakes, my foot also engaged the accelerator, which for those who know this car, is an easy thing to do. We hit the oncoming loo with considerable force,with resultant damage to Rexs idol. Rex was not amused! Even my worst dressings down by Regimental Sergeant Major Timmy Brittain, who was known for 18

19 his withering outbursts, during my time at the Officers Training Unit at Mons Barracks in Aldershot, seemed to pale into insignificance, compared with the tirade meted out by Rex. I began to realized that lessons learned from an awakened conscience were far more meaningful and permanent than human discipline, although this certainly has its part. Another lesson was that where the Almighty is allowed to intervene, true healing is often brought. True Peace lies alone in the Author of Peace. Sadly, one can only assume, The Prince of Peace does not get much of a look-in these days in many of this worlds peacemaking achievements, as sincere and worthy as they may seem to be! These days, my recipe is to do what I am told by the Almighty to the best of my ability, and then leave it in his hands. Ken and Stella Belden with Stellas brother Oliver Corderoy were wonderful, caring hosts to John Faber and myself in their home at 43 Charles Street, which was just round the corner from Hayes Mews. The Beldens home was a real house full, comprising some 14 people, as far as I can remember, including the Beldens and their two delightful children, David and Hilary. Lifes memories highlight certain events. Oliver Corderoy, also living in the home, spotted a certain missing dimension in my life, and presented me with the epic poem The Hound of Heaven by Francis Thompson. Not being one for poetry in those days I approached it with no great enthusiasm. However, like and the play The Forgotten Factor, it somehow sneaked under my radar. Its effect was to focus for me how God had in his love dealt with me since the beginning of my experiment at Pirbright.

19

20

I began to see that the Almighty, once he has made up his mind to call a person, like the great fisherman He is, plays His quarry with patience but firmness, while allowing him sufficient scope to venture into all sorts of blind allies. It was through such blind alleys, valuable lessons where beginning to be learned. The primary lesson to be learnt I began to understand was obedience to what My Maker told me! Once learnt, the rod and line are then withdrawn, and a new freedom is discovered with the love and protection that goes with it! Here are those lines that made such an impression:

The Hound of Heaven by Francis Thompson

I fled Him, down the nights and down the days; I fled Him, down the arches of the years; I fled Him, down the labyrinthine ways Of my own mind; and in the mist of tears I hid from Him, and under running laughter. Up vistaed hopes I sped; And shot, precipitated, Adown Titanic glooms of chasmd fears, From those strong Feet that followed, followed after. But with unhurrying chase, And unperturbd pace, Deliberate speed, majestic instancy, They beatand a Voice beat

20

21

More instant than the Feet All things betray thee, who betrayest Me. . . . . . Fear wist not to evade as Love wist to pursue. Still with unhurrying chase, And unperturbd pace, Deliberate speed, majestic instancy, Came on the following Feet, And a Voice above their beat Naught shelters thee, who wilt not shelter Me. . . . . . . . How hast thou merited Of all mans clotted clay the dingiest clot? Alack, thou knowest not How little worthy of any love thou art! Whom wilt thou find to love ignoble thee, Save Me, save only Me? All which I took from thee I did but take, Not for thy harms, But just that thou mightst seek it in My arms. All which thy childs mistake Fancies as lost, I have stored for thee at home: Rise, clasp My hand, and come!

The Fogotten Factor

21

22

The afternoons and evenings were often spent at the Westminster Theatre where The Forgotten Factor was showing, which originally had had such an impact on my life at Pirbright.. Audiences flooded in from all over the country; from the mining areas of Yorkshire, South Wales, the Durham Coal Fields, from the docks of London and Liverpool, from the Potteries of North Staffordshire, and indeed from all walks of life. The impact of this one production on the life of Britain was impressive, and was being recognized as such by all strata's of society, although it also had its many enemies. After each performance, animated conversation took place, as those gripped by the play sought to find out why they had been so deeply effected by the plays message. When to their astonishment they discovered that the secret lay in the simple concept involving a change in themselves, not surprisingly perhaps, many headed for the exit. Others stayed on to go more deeply into the realisation; a few decided to participate in this unique experiment, and continued for life!

Reunification of Europe.
A war-torn Europe, which I was now to enter, spoke of the need for a permanent peace, for a people throughout the Continent, who had suffered deeply over the past hundred years with constant war. Some of their leaders, such as Adenauer, de Gasperi and Schuman, had a vision of a Europe united above nationality. It was into this situation that I now found myself entering.

22

23 As we the Cast and Backstage Crew mingled with the audience after each play we staged in Germany, they were thoroughly confused by what the Americans and others were offering in terms of Democracy, for wasnt it from something like failed Democray that Hitler had retrieved them? I can remember vividly being confronted by these formerly Nazis mind- manipulated people and their bemusement at the judgemental attitude other nations had towards them. How could one approach this, and how did Frank Buchman and his Group approach it, and with what result? This is to be the subject of the next chapter.

In their ideological approach, they saw a just cause to rid their nation of chaos, which much of the world felt was the result of the draconian impositions put on them through the Versailles Treaty after World War I. This many felt had unjustlly brought the nation to its knees economically and politically and opened the door to Hitler. Among other things, Hitler got the trains running on time and recovered order and self-respect to the German people, which they recognised and for which they were grateful. Therefore, any measures taken were justified in their eyes, even the destruction of the Jewish race, whom we now know they regarded falsly as part of the cause of their problem. It now is known, as this video points out, many German through the propaganda fed them, knew nothing of the Concentration camp atrocities. Somehow, this was the mindset, which Frank Buchman and we in his Group of would-be peacemakers had to overcome , if a solution was to be found for Europe. Many on the Allied side saw this arrogant attitude in the Germans as the main problem, and again were keen to follow the failed Versailles Treaty of imposing harsh victors terms on the vanquished, which seemed justified.

23

24

Frank Buchman was clear that this arrogant attitude to a conquered people would not work and shocked many friends and foes alike by inviting senior Germans to Caux immediately after the Armistice, including some half-dozen Generals. There was, however, another secretive plan being worked out, unknown to Europeans, and most of the British and American people. It was,however, known and encouraged by some of the Intelligance Services of both Europe and America including elements of MI6. This was Operation Paperclip,which in hindsight is now fully acknowledged, and lends a 007 background to the fledgling coming European Union and its now sinister Nazis-Communits future, about which Brian Gerish in his film explained earlier in this Chapter. So monstrous and credulous is the re-incarnation of the possibility of Nazism and Communism to most thinking people, that its has taken me years to come to term with the reality of what is now happening. Had I not come across the possibilty in many passages of the Bible, I would have given it the same treatment that the majority did then! In yesterdays posting on My Website in Live Journal the following Video was included from the LarouchePACTV Group; JFK vs. Empire, Interview with Anton Chaitkin (44.52) October 10th 2013 10:00AM Empire, In-Depth http://larouchepac.com/node/28485 At this point perhaps I should clarify my involvement with a supposed friend of President Nkruma, who had spent time in prison with Nkruma during the Kennedys Presidency. I apologise for such namecalling, but since it is true, I will include it here. One of my first assignments when I got out to Caux, Switzerland www.uk.iofc.org was to be rooming with a supposed supporter and co-prisoner of the Nkrumah, when he we imprisoned by the British Government in Ghana. 24

25

One day, I met Frank Buchman in the passage way in Moutain House, supported by Peter Howard, for Frank was recovering from a serious stroke,. I had with me this soulmate of Nkrumah, who had been in prison with the President.
