The sudden death of Lord Kitchener on June 5th 1916, caused as big an 
international stir, as that of President Kennedy and Princess Diana, and just as 
every one remembers where they were when the news was announced of their deaths, 
and so it was with Kitchener.
At the start of W.W.I Horatio Herbert Kitchener was recalled home from Cairo, 
to become secretary of state for war, Kitchener was seen as a hero, winner of 
battles in the Sudan, India and the Boer war.
Small boys would sing out in the street “Come home Kitchener of Khartoum”. He 
was said he was more popular than the king. In the lead up to W.W.I Britain’s 
huge battle fleet, which was coal fired, took ages to warm up and was heavy to 
get going, the German Inventor Rudolph Diesel invented an engine which bears his 
name, which was demonstrated to run on vegetable oil, so impressed were the 
British government that he was invited across to Britain to sell us his engines, 
for updating the fleet, this would give badly needed work and prosperity to 
Britain’s farmers, and land workers, producing vegetables for fuel.
Strangely, for a man who was about to become filthy rich, the history books 
say Rudolph Diesel jumped over board on the crossing and drowned. 
Co-incidentally of course, Rothschild whose banks became rich loaning for 
Britain’s wars, put his agent Winston Churchill, into the admiralty as first sea 
lord, to lobby for the new middle east oil based engines, which would run on oil 
he supplied, the purchase of the new engines would be also bought with 
Rothschild loans,
Rothschild’s bank would also take over vast chunks of Germany after the war 
and influence the treaty of Versailles, this would later create a major problem 
for all Jews in Germany. In researching the newspapers of the day, surprisingly 
even the disastrous Gallipoli campaign in which Churchill overrode opposition 
from Kitchener to push through this invasion, failed to dent Kitcheners 
popularity.
On June 5th 1916 in a force 8 gale, with Kitchener on board the armoured 
cruiser, H.M.S Hampshire suddenly and hurriedly left for Russia, with the 2 
escort ships, Unity and Victor, and new instructions to travel round the 
Orkneys.
Some short time out, the escort ships were ordered by the Admiralty to return 
home from the West Orkneys, leaving the Hampshire to find its way through the 
minefield alone, in a gale that was now force 9, on its journey to the port of 
Archangel, in Russia.
The Admiralty was aware there was a minefield in this location because, the 
laurel Crown was sunk here on June 2nd, by mines laid on May 29th by U75 U-Boat. 
This was confirmed by intercepted radio traffic.
We are told from witness statements, that the Hampshire with 655 men on board 
hit one mine, but several explosions then sunk the ship. The lifeboats were said 
to have been unlaunchable, of the 12 survivors who made the coast, instructions 
were given to the home guard to shoot all those who made it ashore. The war 
office later claimed that it thought the ship was German and wanted no 
prisoners.
Now is this a case of mass incompetence on a colossal scale, or something 
else? Lord Kitchener was a cult figure, an icon of his day, in spite of being a 
great strategist and battle student, he refused his men’s advice to bring in 
high explosive shells, and mistakenly ordered shrapnel shells, which in the 
closeness of the trenches, killed as many of his own men as the enemy.
He also through war office recruitment saw to it that bully boy press gang 
tactics, insured that boys as young as 14 joined up when the legal age to fight 
in France was 19, he instigated plans where women would give white feathers of 
cowardice to lads outside schools.
In preparation for this article I discovered one boy soldier was aged 12. But 
if asked to produce a Birth certificate on joining, this horrific situation 
would not have arisen. 
The war office also shot for cowardice underage soldiers who they knew were 
under age, I interviewed many men who were W.W.I veterans in the 1950s and 60s 
who said even in the heat of the trenches they knew this was murder.
Although no government figures are available for child soldiers, the Red 
Cross and other organisations say approx 80,000 casualties were under age. 
Kitchener was a predatory homosexual, whose appetite for these boys was 
unquenchable, and cruel in the extreme, and the sort of army stories 
circulating, were similar to those in the catholic church of today.
Churchill despised both Kitchener and his popularity, yet both were senior 
freemasons. The street boys rhyme;” boy soldiers for war if you fancy, all for 
Kitchener ‘cos he’s a nancy” would have appealed to Churchill’s humour.
Importantly Kitchener died a few days after the biggest naval battle ever, 
the battle of Jutland, and some days before the Bolshevik revolution.
Some 50 years ago, a senior intelligence man on his death bed told myself and 
another witness the following story, and this is almost word for word.
“Myself and my C.O. went on board the Hampshire, I was told 
to keep watch outside while he went into Kitcheners cabin, I put my ear to the 
door, and heard the C.O say, I am going to leave you my pistol with one bullet, 
I will wait outside and you will do the honourable thing”
We heard a shot, the C.O went in and retrieved the pistol, and we hurriedly 
left the ship”
He also claimed the sinking of the Hampshire with the loss of 643 men was a 
British cover up operation, as Kitchener had been directly approached for peace 
discussions.
Recent divers to the ship have said it is possible that the several 
explosions were from inside the ship, as the fragments appear to be outwards not 
inwards,
But not all are in agreement.
If this sounds far fetched look up “Operation Northwood’s” where the 
Americans planned to blow up one of their own planes with U.S youngsters on 
board. Or the deaths of 29 intelligence experts on the Irish situation in a 
helicopter crash.
Rothschild who financed both world wars and the Napoleonic war, and probably 
other wars, was instrumental in the start of W. W. I. And in the break up of the 
Ottoman empire, Palestine was too close to the Suez canal, and Arabs were 88% of 
the Palestinian population, the remainder were a few Jews and Christians, yet 
this land was demanded by Rothschild as part payment.
Nathaniel Rothschild and Winston Churchill were inseparable, Churchill’s 
mother was Jewish and as the bloodline is carried down through the woman, so was 
Winston, which explains his fanatical pro-jewish stance.
Because in 1917 Britain’s war was not going well, and hope of victory was 
optimistic. The Jewish influence world wide was pushing for the “Balfour 
agreement” and Britain needed the wealthy American Jews to back its war effort, 
by bringing in America, so Zionist influence meant President Woodrow Wilson had 
to support Britain, and the influential Russian Jews who masterminded the 
Bolshevik revolution, use its influence to keep Russia in the war.
Alfred Lord Douglas who wrote for the weekly “ Plain English” and “morning 
post”, had sources in the Jewish underground, and one member Benjamin Friedman, 
claimed that Jewish financiers under Rothschild, manipulated Churchill to make 
false statements after Jutland whereby the stock exchange dropped. Then next day 
a further more optimistic statement meant a rise in stock prices, head of the 
Jewish financial syndicate Sir Ernest Cassel, paid Churchill a cheque for 
£40,000.
One of Churchill’s speech writers told of Churchill having an account in the 
name of colonel Arden for payments. This stock exchange tactic was employed 
previously by Rothschild after the Napoleonic war.
I asked Winston Churchill about this episode in his constituency office in 
Woodford many years ago, he replied; “see yourself out”
In the book written by the society palmist and mystic “Cheiro” entitled; 
“palmistry for all” the frontispiece shows the palm-print of Lord Kitchener 
taken on July 21st 1894 
Cheiro himself says, there will be some mystery attached to his death, the 
palm-print confirms the suddenness of his death with the suggestion of murder, 
interestingly the hand tells of waters involvement.
Palmistry has fascinated me since childhood, and as a child I studied 
Kitcheners hand-print, some palmists claim the hand cannot foretell the future, 
because the hand changes, but some aspects do not change, and his hand clearly 
shows Cheiro’s analysis to be absolutely correct, and a crisis to occur at age 
66 the age of his death.
Cheiro says of this number 66 when reduced in numerology to the primary 12 
that; “This number speaks of suffering and anxiety and is an indicator of the 
suffering of the victim, and depicts someone sacrificed for the plans and 
intrigues of others”
This number also gives us the occult indicators behind the death. From 
Kitcheners birthdate 24 June 1850, we deduce in microcosm again from Cheiro, 
“these people are extremely magnetic, obstinate and unyielding, they attract 
others to them and are often loved and worshipped by those under them” 
Herbert Kitcheners name in numerology reduces from an 88 to a 16, Cheiro says 
of this; “This number is represented by the tarot card of a tower struck by 
lightning, from which a man falls, it is a warning of some strange fatality”
Interestingly his name contains 16 letters. The H.M.S.Hampshires numbers are 
56 which reduce to an 11. Lord Herbert Kitchener also reduces from a 56 to an 
11, and amazingly, First Sea lord is also a 56 then 11, and Winston Churchill M. 
P. again shows this compound number 11, showing absolute karmic linkage to a 
single plan.
Incidentally the word “treachery” is also an 11 number. Cheiro says again; “ 
Ominous warnings of hidden dangers, trial and treachery of others” that about 
sums up the ship.
The country celebrates all this when on the 11 of the 11 of the 11th how 
strange! Nietzche has this statement in his book thus spoke Zarasthustra;
“The state lies in all the tongues of good and evil, and whatever it says is 
lies, and whatever it has, it has stolen, everything it is, is false, it bites 
with stolen teeth, and it bites often, it is false down to its bowels”
So here we have it, in a nutshell, government lies and deception, Kitchener 
murdered by agents of his own government. And the Hampshire sunk, with all hands 
as a cover up.
