Princeton Historian: World War III Serious Threat

A Princeton University professor has warned of the imminent threat of world war III.

Economic historian Harold James, who specialises in the history of Germany and European economic history, says the world is facing similar conditions that led to two previous world wars.

Protectionism and exclusion is the word of the day in America. That could lead to armed conflict between east and west.

While President Trump carries on from where Obama left off and turns the heat on China and Russia, the two long-time former enemies of the U.S. are thinking of using pre-emptive nuclear first strike against the U.S. as means of ultimate protection.

They have been preparing for it for years while watching the U.S. and her allies chase their Frankenstein monster around the Middle East.

The shenanigans of the Military industrial Complex has brought the world to the brink of Armageddon, and the only ones rooting for it are the lemmings who brought us here, hellbent on hurling themselves off the cliff… to see what’s at the bottom.

“I think [a world war] is absolutely a serious threat,” says Professor Harold James.

The Free Thought Project:

Harold James received his PhD from Cambridge in 1982. He then received the Ellen MacArthur Prize for Economic History and the Helmut Schmidt Prize in Economic History. While teaching and studying at Princeton for the last three decades, James also serves on the editorial committee of the journal World Politics and is chairman of the Academic Council of EABH (European Association for Banking and Financial History). Needless to say, James is one of the most qualified historians in the world today, and, when he says something like the possibility of World War III is now a serious threat — society should listen.

James is not alone in his feelings either. Last month, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved the hand of their ‘Doomsday Clock’ to just two and a half minutes to midnight. The Science and Security Board warned: “The probability of global catastrophe is very high, and the actions needed to reduce the risks of disaster must be taken very soon.

However, governments around the world seemingly couldn’t care less about the prospect of global catastrophe or world war. The United States, at least the portion powered by the military industrial complex, seems to love the idea.

I think [a world war] is absolutely a serious threat,” he said in an interview with Sky News.

As the Free Thought Project pointed out, both China and Russia are reacting to constant provocation from the West. Earlier this month, responding to US posturing, Beijing surreptitiously revealed a highly accurate ballistic missile system with a range long enough to directly threaten Taiwan, the hotly disputed South China Sea, the Philippines, and Japanese and U.S. military bases in Asia — including Okinawa — with a nuclear first strike.

Amazingly enough, Russia has remained calm in spite of the fact that thousands of NATO troops, including US soldiers, continue to amass on their border — an ostensible ‘peacekeeping’ mission.

Even though he has remained calm, President Vladimir Putin has not taken these putative defensive measures, including the installation of anti-missile systems, as anything less than a direct threat — and has repeatedly warned the amassing military presence provides ample justification for a first strike against the Western Alliance.

While responding to the commentators who compared the toxic environment of the 1930s with that of today, James said, “They are very scary comparisons, but I think it is a fair comparison and you can see something that is analogous to the story of the 1920s and the 1930s.

James then went on to implicate the two-party system and its constant push for conflict. As the Free Thought Project continually points out, the Left is for war, if with big government and the Right is for big government, if with war.

“That is the parties in the political middle and the center are on the whole in favor of openness, in favor of trade and in favor of migration, but they’re squeezed from both the right and the left…”

Professor James, like Ron Paul, believes that Global and open trade is key to maintaining peace, while economic protectionism, like what Donald Trump is doing, is dangerous.

Not only does protectionism make everyone poorer—except certain special interests—but it also increases international tensions, and can lead to war,” Ron Paul points out.

As James points out, this sharp swing away from open markets, borders and trade, toward protectionism, are the same factors that led us into the last two World Wars.

While James mentions ‘globalization’ as a factor in maintaining peace, his is not referring to some massive centralized government, but rather open trade among nations and the freedom of people to travel.

As Ron Paul points out, “although we think of ourselves as a free-trading nation, it takes more than 700 pages just to list all the tariffs on imported goods, and another 400 to inventory all the non-tariff restraints, such as quotas and ‘orderly marketing agreements.’”

And, these numbers are increasing almost daily.

James also went on to allude to the information war which is taking place in the media as well as the state and the role it plays in stoking tensions.

“In that sense, I think the aftermath of 1907 is as interesting as the 1930s.

“Because after 1907 the foreign ministries, defense ministries, intelligence agencies started to operationalize information – to think that information was essential to the control of military events – and there was a kind of arms race in terms of communications control.

And we’re seeing that kind of arms race at the moment I think.

“The story of unconventional warfare, with the role of Google or the role of Apple…those all feed into the debate whether communications can be controlled in the interest of national security,” he said.

Evidence of this information and propaganda war is everywhere as all sides of the political spectrum are now constantly caught in perpetuating falsehoods — creating an environment in which ‘truth’ is but a fleeting memory.

Unfortunately, no one with any political influence seems to notice this shift, and the proverbial stampede of lemmings appear to be hellbent on hurling themselves off the cliff.

“Don’t look at the camera.” Just move on. Kill and be killed. Military Industrial Complex and Hollywood control the action. Apocalypse Now bankrupted Coppola with his anti-establishment stance.

  1. At least sign up for the Army Reserves or The National Guard.

    ” All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia. War against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it.” Eric Blair Author: Politics And The English Language By George Orwell 1946

    • The banksters need a war desperately right now. They’ve tried so hard in Syria and it just hasn’t worked. Now they’ve got crazy Trump actually saying we should stay out of the Middle East and focus on our own problems, and people are listening… What’s a self-respecting globalist financier to do? Without the US military killing people and breaking things, there is no future growth path for them. So they send their puppets like Kasich and Romney out to talk up the fight against “evil” and threaten Russia and China, hoping to fool those dumb white ‘Murkins one more time into sending their sons off to die for God and Country and Goldman Sachs.

      The IMF is in bed with the Turks, Saudis, and NATO, they are worried about a Trump audit of the Federal Reserve… and about Trump and Putin teaming up to destroy them once and for all… Trump is a vote for peace, and peace does not make money for the weapon industry. The pseudo secular media and their globalist masters profit from destabilization. Retaining control of US foreign policy is what drives the neo-cons and Hillary’s flying monkeys… along with the millions Goldman Sachs and the Saudis have paid them.

    • Syria, Libya, and Ukraine are the same scenario as Serbia… NATO, under the direction of Jéws Albright and Clark, bombed Serbia so the IMF Jéws could make loans for rebuilding and get control of Serbian iridium assets… while Saudi non-profit n.g.o.s kept the KLA terrorists well fed and well armed… Just like ISIS in Syria…

      Albanian Muslims now operate human slaughterhouses in Kosovo where they rip out the organs of Christians to sell to Turkey and Saudi Arabia… How is Hillary Clinton’s “reset button” working out for America, comrades?

  2. The U.S. State Dept. has been infested with communists since WW1 and Woodrow Wilson, they tried to steal the Russian elections for their comrades in the Russian Communist Party through non-profit n.g.o.s… just like at home in America… But… Vladimir Putin beat them, so they launched a fággot jihad against the Russian Orthodox church over the punk rock band and the Olympics (something Bítch Romney also stupidly piled onto) Miss neo-kabbalah lesbian Madonna, now rumored to be a Muslim convert, was flown in to agitate while Hillary was on a world-wide gay pride tour.

    The Podesta Group was paying Hosni Mubarak about 1.3 million dollars a year, they also rigged the Egyptian election for the Muslim Brotherhood’s now deposed Mohammed Morsi… reactions to the subsequent crack down on non-profit n.g.o.s by both the Egyptian and Russian governments should have been enough to implicate the real election hackers… HINT: they weren’t Russian…

    When the Iron Curtain fell down the Bolshevik Jews all fled to the other side because they knew what Russians would do to them after 100 years of communism… The best thing about Russia getting Crimea back… Catherine the Great took it from the Turks… What happened right after Russia retook Crimea? The FSB searched all the Turks living there… Why? Because NATO sponsors Islamist terrorism when it suits them to.

  3. Mammon und Bolschewismus sind jüdische Stiefschwestern… Jüdischen Bankiers sind überschwemmung Europa mit Muslimen und Amerika mit Dritte Welt Müll…

    Wer bombardiert Orthodoxen-christlich Serben für die Muslimen? Nördlich Atlantik Terrorist Organisation!
    Sie Leute dummerweise denken, dass die Germanen nur in Deutschland zu finden sind… Ich habe Neuigkeiten für Sie!

    Sobald die NATO Besatzer vertrieben werden wir eine weitere Nacht der langen Messer haben, merk dir meine Worte!
