May 20, 2008 (LPAC)--John McCain, and the foreign policy advisers of Barack Obama, have called for a "League of Democracies" to erase national sovereignty and carry on Anglo-American wars against target nations in Asia, Africa and elsewhere.

The "League of Democracies" was defined in the 1938 book by Clarence Streit, "Union Now: A Proposal for a Federal Union of the Democracies of the North Atlantic." Streit called for the United States, its currency and its military to be amalgamated with the British Empire, as the "nucleus of a world government" that would impose its will by armed force.

Streit was a leader of the Milner Group, run by Lord Lothian -- the old Cecil Family/ Rhodes organization which set Britain's imperial strategy throughout the early 20th century.

Lothian, a top strategist for the pro-Nazi faction, instructed Streit to create a propaganda network inside the U.S., spawning the Atlantic Union movement, led in the U.S. by pro-Hitler financiers and headed by Lord Lothian inside Britain.

The objectives of the proposed League may be understood from the agreement between Lord Lothian and Adolf Hitler, in their 1935 and 1937 conversations, that they should stop non-white countries from getting industrial power, or as Hitler summed it up, that they should "prevent ... their nationals from assisting in the industrializing of countries such as China, and India. It is suicidal to promote the establishment in the agricultural countries of Asia of manufacturing industries."

Today such a League's agenda would include invading Myanmar and Sudan and gearing up for war against China and Russia.

Beginning in 1999, British Prime Minister Tony Blair demanded the League of Democracies project be reinstated.

John McCain called for the British-spawned League of Democracies in his March 26, 2008 speech to the Los Angeles World Affairs Council.

Obama foreign policy adviser Anthony Lake co-chaired, with George Shultz, the Princeton Project on National Security, whose Final Report renamed the League the "Concert of Democracies" and called for wiping out national sovereignty, under the world rule of force.

Obama foreign policy adviser Ivo Daalder called for the same thing in his joint Washington Post column with neo-conservative McCain adviser Robert Kagan August 6, 2007. Both Lake and Daalder remain steadfast for the British scheme.

Union Now author Clarence Streit was the father-in-law of financier Felix Rohatyn, who with financiers' strategist George Shultz helped organize the fascist Augusto Pinochet takeover of Chile. (The Rohatyn Center at Middlebury College has a "visiting scholar," Stanley Sloan, who is on the board of the Streit Council, continuing Streit's plans for a world dictatorship.)

The Press office of the Obama campaign, contacted by Executive Intelligence Review by telephone on May 20, was asked whether Obama differs from his advisers, or from John MacCain, on the British proposal. An Obama spokeswoman said she would refer the question to the appropriate persons in the campaign, and that she would get back to the EIR reporter with a reply.
