David Urquhart

The British-intellgence side of the Entente Cordiale Kurdish operation dates, in origin, from the role of Karl Marx's British-intelligence controller, Caucusus-Balkan specialist David Urquhart, in that region.

The problem to be considered is lodged in the intrinsically reductionist fallacy of the so-called "labor theory of value," a fallacy which Karl Marx derived, chiefly, from the British environment in which his systematic views on modern economic processes were shaped by Urquhart and the circles of the Haileybury School tradition, that during about two decades of Marx's life there.

[18] Marx's recruitment involved his assignment to the British Museum under Foreign Office specialist David Urquhart, whose intelligence functions there included his executive role in supervising correspondence among the agents of Palmerston's agent Mazzini.

It was the cornerstone of the foreign policy of Bentham's understudy, Lord Palmerston, who used the rag-tag assets of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte's extended family, Giuseppe Mazzini's revolutionary "Young Europe" and "Young America" networks, and the Balkan and Caucasus networks of Karl Marx's British-intelligence controller, David Urquhart, to topple Britain's outlived ally, Metternich's (un)Holy Alliance, and to generally mutilate the world's political maps.

Fact: Although the origin of such directions in Middle East policy goes back to early Nineteenth-Century British Foreign Office figures as sometime Karl Marx controller David Urquhart, some leading British circles themselves are in panic over the way in which the currently rampaging U.S. millenarian fundies have brought the world to the verge of a widespread, Middle East-centered religious war.One might be reminded of the old Jewish story of the Rabbi of Prague, the Rabbi's foolish wife, and the Golem, which Goethe recast as his "The Sorcerer's Apprentice."In this case, the relevant U.S. fundies surely fit the image of the Golem of those stories.

Fact: The eruption of this post-1967 manifestation of Arab-hating, racist, and organically anti-Semitic, U.S. Fundies for "Greater Israel," occurred as a coincidence of the mid-1960s launching of that Republican "Southern Strategy," an appeal to "fundamentalist" bigots which brought Nixon and Kissinger into the White House, and began the presently ongoing long-wave phase in the process of wrecking the economy and morals of the U.S.A.
