Abstract

As Lord Palmerston, the chief architect of the Opium Wars against China, said of the British Empire : “I say it is narrow to suppose that any particular country is to be marked out as the eternal ally or the perpetual enemy of England. We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and it is our duty to defend them”. To this end, London keeps a watchful eye, ensuring it always has multiple irons in the fire. It will always be with a given government in place, while simultaneously siding with those who challenge it. It will be with the right, the left, the center, and the extremes. In this way, regardless of how the peoples vote, it is always London that prevails. Here is a preliminary investigation into Tony Blair and his fine team. From Clinton to Trump, it has infiltrated the heart of American power to contribute to its excesses.

Keywords: British Empire, United States of America, London, Tony Blair, China, Trump, Western interventionism
