The British empire, globally very important for centuries, has long been influenced by various mostly unseen forces. After WWI, the UK deep state increasingly came under the influence of the US deep state.

Understanding the UK deep state requires a look at the history - hidden and public - of both the UK and the British Empire. There is currently not much material on this website pre-1945, a reflection of the interest of the contributors that should not be taken to suggest that deep state groups were not at work before that time. The earlier history of the UK/US deep state was a focus of research by historian Carroll Quigley, especially in his book The Anglo-American Establishment.

History

The UK was a monarchy for centuries, so the extent to which a deep state could be said to have existed inevitably varied depending upon the personality of any particular monarch and his (or, occasionally her) royal entourage. The rules of succession were occasionally disputed (most notably in the Wars of the Roses), providing opportunities for enterprising kingmakers who could mount the requisite armed men (or just hire an assassin) to change the established ruler.

Middle Ages

In 1215 the UK parliament was created under King John after the Magna Carta. This was a unicameral system which had no prense of elections until 1265. It has developed in form and function over the centuries, but has remain situated in London, which had been the been the capital city, and the center of governance, banking, commerce and therefore also of the UK deep state for centuries. As the market economy increased in importance in the middle ages, the influence of nobility and local military commanders began to be eclipsed by that of international financiers.

Bank of England

Full article: Bank of England

The Bank of England was set up in 1694 (the world's second central bank) by king William III as a compromise with the bankers who were increasingly well organised and increasingly disinclined to lend him money for military ventures. They were granted a royal monopoly on the right to issue UK pounds out of nothing (and charge interest on them). Since this meant that an unlimited number of pounds could be created, it was easier for the king to borrow money from them when he wanted to raise an army. Originally a private business, it was nationalised in 1946 and placed under nominal government control. As with many deep state groups, financiers and central bankers have played a key role in the deep state in the UK.

The Secret Elite

Full article: The Secret Elite

In February 1891 the millionaire mining magnate Cecil Rhodes formed a secret society which although highly influential is still largely unknown because its members had positions of great influence in the teaching of history in the UK, and were in positions of power (in particular, in Oxford university to allow them to expunge many traces of their influence from the historical record, as the seminal deep politics resesarcher Carroll Quigley exposed in The Anglo-American Establishment: “One wintry afternoon in February 1891, three men were engaged in earnest conversation in London. From that conversation were to flow consequences of the greatest importance to the British Empire and to the world as a whole. For these men were organizing a secret society that was for more than fifty years to be one of the most important forces in the formulation and execution of British imperial and foreign policy.”

Jim Macgregor & Gerry Docherty lay out detailed claims in their book Hidden History: The Secret Origins Of The First World War how the Secret Elite, pursuing a shared vision of a global British Empire, deliberately engineered World War I in an effort to check the rise of their teutonic rival.

“Five principal players, Cecil Rhodes, William Stead, Lord Reginald Esher, Lord Nathaniel Rothschild and Alfred Milner were the founding fathers, but the secret society developed rapidly in numbers, power and presence in the years before 1914. Influential old aristocratic families that had long dominated Westminster were more deeply involved, as was King Edward VII, who operated within the inner core of the Secret Elite. Cecil Rhodes, a mining magnate who made millions in South Africa, had long talked about setting up a Jesuit-like secret society, pledged to take any action necessary to protect and promote the power of the British Empire. He sought to "bring the whole uncivilized world under British rule, for the recovery of the United States, for the making of the Anglo-Saxon race but one empire." In essence the plan was as simple as that.”
Jim Macgregor,  Gerry Docherty

The Pilgrims Society

The Pilgrims society, which began in the UK in 1902 and in the USA in 1903 was a deep state milieux of major importance to the Anglo-American establishment. It was (and is) a dining club attended by a select group including financiers, central bankers, diplomats, politicians and of course deep politicians.

World War I

Full article: World War I

The UK establishment worked hard to get the US involved in World War I, overcoming an isolationism which wanted no part in the European's war. The sinking of the Lusitania was an important step in this process.

Post 1918

Personally enriched by World War I, members of the Secret Elite continued to be important in determining the constitution and policiers of the UK government. As the relative power of the British Empire began to decline as respect to the rapidly industrialising USA, the centre of deep political gravity moved across the atlantic from London to Washington.

World War II

Full article: World War II

In a repeat performance of the first World War, the UK establishment worked to get the US involved in World War II, overcoming resistance from a US population which was not enthusiastic.

The turning point was the Japanese invasion of Pearl Harbor, which was announced to the US public as a bolt from the blue, although various people have disputed this, indluding John Ainsworth-Davis, who claimed to have sunk an allied submarine to perpetuate the illusion that it was a surprise.

Post 1945

The USSR, although a wartime ally, quickly came to be feared. There ensued a daceades long rivally known as the Cold War, which was a defining influence on geopolitics for most of the rest of the 20th century. There was an associated rush to create nuclear weapons (the UK was the second nation state to do so after the USA developed the atomic bombs with which in brought WWII to a close), which necessitated the creation of nuclear power stations to create the fissile isotopes.

An analagous defining influence on the geo-deep political arena was Operation Gladio, a.k.a. the 'stay behind network', which crystallised around the end of WWII in Europe. This trained teams of men and provisioned them with military supplies such as weapons, explosives, radios, gold etc. This continent wiode network was so secret that heads of governments were often not informed about it. Under the loose control of the team of spooks who set it up, it was used by the CIA (and MI6? remained secret until the 1980s, when the determination of Italian judge Felice Casson combined with laziness and corruption of its members to bring the group to national prominance. The operation was (and arguably still is) of defining importance in understanding "terrorism" in the Europe, which has been important once in the 20th century - "the troubles" associated with the Irish Republican movement. In the 21st century this was reinvented as Operation Gladio/B, which replaced fascists with Muslims to institute the "war on terror".

1950s

An important deep state milieux were started in continental Europe in the early 1950s - the Pinay Cercle and the Bilderberg, both of which remained almost unknown to the general public for over 50 years Born out of the Cold War, the former was extrememely anti-communist in its make up and was not, initially, active in the UK, but was to assume major importance in the 1970s, when Brian Crozier became chair of the group. The Bilderberg actively promoted European Union andcloser ties with the USA. The first Bilderberg had UK participants:- Colin Gubbins was one of the first 12 men approached by Josef Retinger.

1960s

Homosexuality was legalised in England in the 1960s, after which time it was replaced with under age sexual contact as a standard tool of sexual blackmail by the UK intelligence agencies. Particularly notorious venues included Dolphin Square (conveniently located for Westminster), the Elm Guest House (also in London) and the Kincorra Boys Home in Northern Ireland.

The Paedophile Information Exchange was set up in 1974, which attracted the attention of some UK politicians and other key establishment figures. Many top politicians have been alleged to have been active paedophiles, and numerous investigations were carried out, but the fixed pattern was that after evidence had been gathered and statements taken, high level authorities either misplaced the dossiers of evidence or decided not to continue with the prosecutions.

The VIPaedophile phenomenon only gained traction after Jimmy Saville was posthumously outed as a serial rapist, necrophilia and child abuser. The fact that he was a highly public figure, and that his sexual proclivities still a subject of rumour for decades.

1970s

In the 1970s, Margaret Thatcher rose to lead first the UK Conservative party and in 1979 the UK. Her victory in the 1979 General Election was the focus of the Shield committe, a deep state group which was unknown until . The Langemann Papers detail a successful operation to achieve a regime change in the UK, suggesting that Le Cercle Various circumstancial evidence connects Le Cercle to various multi-billion pound arms deals and it was closely connected to the 1979 JCIT which launched the global effort to promote "terrorism" as a replacement threat for the MICC. A close friend of Thatcher, Airey Neave, was killed by a car bomb in Westminster, officially by the IRA, after reportedly talking of "cleaning the stables" as far as the UK intelligence agencies.

1980s

In the UK, 'Thatcherism' was used to describe the policy of privatization and deregulation - advancing a similar economic agenda to the cabal led administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush. This was initially unpopular and Thatcher's government was decidely unpopularTemplate:Unclear until the Falklands War. She went on, hoever to win 3 successive elections. Although she had favourably impressed the Bilderberg Group in 1975 () - before being made party leader, a common pattern for UK Prime ministers, she later fell out with them, possibly because she announced herself unwilling to give up the UK Pound in favor of the Euro. Thatcher is reported^{[By whom?]} to have been involved in various corrupt arms deals which funnell money into Tory central office. The BBC purchased an expose entitled Secret Society about her secret cabinet committees, but later decided not to broadcast it.

1990s

After a decade of dissillusionment under Tory rule, Tony Blair was elected to power in the 1997 General election. He had a close relationship with George W. Bush as the Western commercially-controlled media put it - i.e. was to prove a compliant puppet of the cabal.

21st Century

The "War on Terror" has seen an unprecedented militarization of UK law and society, which has been a boon for the "counter-terrorism" industry.

The UK's foreign intelligence agency, MI6 is widely rumoured to be closely aligned with elements of the CIA and the Mossad. Mass surveillance by intelligence agencies, announced by Edward Snowden has been normalised after establishment inaction.

September 11, 2001

Full article: 9-11

In the UK, the events of September 11, 2001 were reported on by the UK corporate media as uncritically as in other Western European nation states. Although the BBC did carry reports of bombs going off in the world trade center on the day, these were not repeated. A remarkable report which is still not adequately explained by the BBCThe BBC reported that WTC7 had collapsed about 20 minutes before it actually did. The UK deep state successfully repressed any serious examination of the circumstances in favour of the US governments "19 hijackers" line, although the BBC did report that several^{[How many?]} of the purported 19 hijackers were still alive.

7-7 Bombings

Full article: 2005 London bombings

[[image:Shoot all bombers.jpg|left|380px|A headline about the killing of Jean Charles de Menezes In London on the 7th July 2005, people were killed by explosions at 4 locations, an event which was blamed on "Islamic terrorists" and was exploited to advance the global deep state agenda of rolling back civil liberties while rolling out a police state with increased use of armed police, mass surveillance etc. No CCTV of the bombings has been released, reportedly due to technical problems by Verint Systems, the Israeli owned company which was responsible for the London Transport CCTV. Tony Blair was incommunicado on a plane at the time of the bombings.

2010s

The BBC has continued to promote war on Syria, using interestingly timed and "unverified" footage alleging chemical weapon use by the Syrian government.

Mass surveillance

“The UK's communications watchdog Ofcom has overturned its ban on the use of GSM gateways (COMUGs) for overseas phone calls – leaving one of the longest prosecutions in modern English legal history hanging in the balance. The decision comes after a controversial public consultation exercise held earlier this year, in which The Register caught the Home Office's secret spy powers unit trying to anonymously lobby the regulator and keep the ban.”

BBC	“The BBC began in 1922, just before the corporate press began in America. Its founder was Lord John Reith, who believed that impartiality and objectivity were the essence of professionalism. In the same year the British establishment was under siege. The unions had called a general strike and the Tories were terrified that a revolution was on the way. The new BBC came to their rescue. In high secrecy, Lord Reith wrote anti-union speeches for the Tory Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin and broadcast them to the nation, while refusing to allow the labor leaders to put their side until the strike was over. So, a pattern was set. Impartiality was a principle certainly: a principle to be suspended whenever the establishment was under threat. And that principle has been upheld ever since.”	John Pilger	16 June 2007
Tim Fortescue	“For anyone with any sense, who was in trouble, would come to the whips and tell them the truth, and say now, I’m in a jam, can you help? It might be debt, it might be… a scandal involving small boys, or any kind of scandal in which, erm er, a member seemed likely to be mixed up in, they’d come and ask if we could help and if we could, we did. And we would do everything we can because we would store up brownie points… and if I mean, that sounds a pretty, pretty nasty reason, but it’s one of the reasons because if we could get a chap out of trouble then, he will do as we ask forever more.”	Tim Fortescue	1995
Andrew Marr	“A final lesson is that Westminster and the state are two very different things. The state includes the NHS, national science labs, networks of experts […] I now feel we should spend less time on the distracting national puppet show and more time thinking about what I might delicately call the deeper sources of authority.”	Andrew Marr	14 August 2021
Craig Murray	“It is to me quite incredible that the UK is still at the mercy of the whims and foibles of degenerates from not only the same class, but from within the same tiny social institutions which still confer a hereditary ability to govern a state of 60 million people now, in 2020. It makes a mockery of the UK’s claim to be a functional social polity and it makes a mockery of the very notion that “democracy” has any real existence in British society.”	Craig Murray	14 February 2020
UK	“The UK's communications watchdog Ofcom has overturned its ban on the use of GSM gateways (COMUGs) for overseas phone calls – leaving one of the longest prosecutions in modern English legal history hanging in the balance.
