AUSTRALIA U.S. DEAL: A Key to Breaking Empirical Control and strip mining of a nation’s resources
White House Trade Counselor Peter Navarro’s recent speech at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and President Trump’s rare earth minerals deal with Australia are both strategic moves aimed at dismantling British imperial control.
The video reveals how these actions are part of a broader strategy to challenge globalism and British influence, juxtaposing Trump’s economic policies with historical British tactics of economic control.
Susan Kokinda explains the significance of America’s industrial partnership with Australia and the historical context of British imperial dominance, highlighting a coordinated effort to shift power dynamics globally.
1919 CHATHAM HOUSE and CFR
1919 CHATHAM HOUSE (the Royal Institute of International Affairs) and 1919 Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) ARE LINKED:
KEVIN RUDD and CHATHAM HOUSE / CFR
Kevin Rudd has a long-standing relationship with Chatham House, a UK-based think tank, and currently holds the title of Distinguished Fellow. This role is separate from his more recent appointment as Australia’s Ambassador to the United States, which he began in March 2023. Rudd has participated in discussions and events hosted by Chatham House, such as a conversation with David Miliband in 2021.
Distinguished Fellow:
Rudd has been a Distinguished Fellow at Chatham House for some time. This title recognizes his expertise, particularly on Asia and U.S.-China relations.
Australian Ambassador to the United States:
In March 2023, he was appointed Australia’s Ambassador to the U.S., a position he holds concurrently with his other roles.
Event Participation:
Rudd has been a participant in Chatham House events, including a 2021 event discussing the future of liberal democracies.
Other Affiliations:
In addition to Chatham House, he is also a Distinguished Fellow at the Paulson Institute and a Distinguished Statesman with the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He is also the President of the Asia Society Policy Institute.
Chatham House (the Royal Institute of International Affairs) and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) are linked because they were both founded in 1919 at the same Paris Peace Conference and have worked together as counterparts in an “Anglo-American establishment”. Their connection is characterized by the sharing of personnel, publishing, and joint conferences, as well as mutual financial support from American philanthropic foundations during their early decades. They are considered two of the oldest and most prestigious foreign affairs think tanks in the world.
Shared origins:
Both institutes have roots in discussions at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. Initially, the plan was for a single Anglo-American organization, but delegates ultimately formed separate institutes: Chatham House in London and the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.
Interconnections:
The two organizations have been linked through a variety of activities, including exchanges and visits, joint international conferences, and the dissemination of literature.
“Anglo-American establishment”:
They are often seen as interconnected components of an “Anglo-American establishment”. Leaders of both think tanks have sometimes appeared to be part of a transnational network influencing foreign policy.
Mutual influence:
The organizations have influenced each other through shared members, and their work has been supported by American philanthropic foundations, particularly during the 1920s and 1930s.
Chatham House Rule:
Chatham House is also known for originating the Chatham House Rule, which is now used globally to encourage open discussion in meetings without revealing the identity of speakers. This rule is a key part of how Chatham House operates, similar to how the CFR functions as a forum for foreign policy discussions.
