The british elites were most definitely, and they led the way with the unscrupulous jew merchants.    The jews were infiltrating the brits through the 1800's after Redshield took over the bank of england post Napoleon.   They have had pretty much complete control since the Empire shit canned the gold standard Aug 1-4 1914, the very day they declared war Germany / Austrian Empire in WW1.     Funny how that fiat currency swapareoo works, and funny how you never  hear about the UK part, only the fed in 1913. Once a society / empire convinces themselves they are superior it's a short step to this sort of malarky / kikery.  Once they have a central fiat bank, they are no longer sovereign.  This was essentially the death of the empire.  3 years after George VI died.
