... a forerunner of Woodrow Wilson, whose crusade for national self-determination inspired millions at the end of World War One, and as one of the founders of liberalism. So how can he have been an imperialist? The charge rests to a large extent on Gladstone's policy towards Egypt in 1882. Here the great liberal ended up presiding over a colonial adventure by which Egypt was turned from an autonomous province of the Ottoman Empire into a British 'Protectorate'' The 1882 crisis was rooted in Egypt's financial relationship with Britain and France, whose financial ...

... He did so partly on the urging of Schacht, who himself went to Indonesia as an advisor to Sukarno and advance man for Krupp. (90) The consequences of this CIA favour to Nasser and the Nazis were to be widespread and long term. Skorzeny left Egypt after about a year, but he left behind him about 50 former S.S. and Gestapo men, many of them recruited from Argentina and neighbouring countries by Skorzeny's Nazi colleague in Buenos Aires, Colonel Hans-Ulrich Rudel.

... to cause financial chaos to the Sterling area – to stop the fighting is not recorded. Yet surely this is the essential prism through which to view this debacle? One is struck when reading this episode that the UK political leadership could clearly have continued the fighting in Egypt for long enough to have secured complete control of the Suez Canal (another 24, maybe 36 hours) and then have told the US that they would run it in future in a manner similar to the way the US operated the Panama Canal, the jurisdiction ...

... , Otto Skorzeny and Hjalmar Schacht. (10) In July 1951 Schacht, (11) only just cleared by the last of a series of denazification trials and appeals, was invited by President Sukarno to overhaul the finances of Indonesia. He travelled to Djakarta via Egypt. Here he met privately with the army officers who would later overthrow King Farouk. He also stopped in India, which he visited at the suggestion of Nehru. At this point the Korean war was expected to escalate into a general east-west conflict, an alarming ...

... his own pleasure.......The Egyptian coup of 1952 was the beginning of a closer cooperation between the intelligence services of the UK and USA in direct interference in the politics of that region. After their first victory in November 1952, in Egypt, the two services realised that their combined efforts would produce results: hence it was followed by the Iranian coup. Contrary to the CIA's propaganda the Iranian coup was not an American operation but a joint MI6-CIA operation. Last¦ Contents¦ Next ...

He also asserts that 'the espionage reporters of all the great papers all now ...

So the very same same Gladstone administration that Newton indicts for hypocrisy, in fact initially resisted for almost two years Bradford Liberal MP, former education minister William Forster who wanted 'gunboats' and outright 'annexation' of Egypt. Radical leader John Bright was openly allowed to critique the whole bloody 'Protectorate' acquisition to the poignant point of his own permanent resignation from both cabinet and the Liberal leadership of a party he had once helped to found. Unlike today's Afghanistan, Gladstone knew when ...
