Document images, below, from the British National Archives. Notice the sign off by HM Queen Elizabeth who was 31 years old (b. 1926) and had been Queen for 5 years. Now she is 90 years old.
Russian President Putin was almost 5 years old. A former KGB officer for the USSR, President Putin (b. Oct. 1952) has acted remarkably like the British predicted in 1957. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Putin President Putin’s grandfather was cook to Lenin and Stalin both of whom may have been poisoned to death. Due to fears of poisoning, the cook is probably the most important official. Former Sec. of State John Kerry was born in 1943, so he was 14 years old. President Obama was born in 1961. President Trump was 11 years old. Exxon CEO become US Sec of State Rex Tillerson was 5 years old. General Eisenhower was president.
“The Suez Crisis, also named the Tripartite Aggression and the Kadesh Operation, was an invasion of Egypt in late 1956 by Israel, followed by the United Kingdom and France. The aims were to regain Western control of the Suez Canal and to remove Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser from power.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suez_Crisis “In November 1956, as a direct result of the Suez Crisis, Syria signed a pact with the Soviet Union….” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria
So, Israel, the UK, and France went into the Middle East and the US was…? Ordered to follow as troops of Empire or what? Prior to this: “During World War I, the Ottoman Empire entered the conflict on the side of Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It ultimately suffered defeat and loss of control of the entire Near East to the British Empire and French Empire. During the conflict, genocide against indigenous Christian peoples was carried out by the Ottomans and their allies in the form of the Armenian Genocide and Assyrian Genocide, of which Deir ez-Zor, in Ottoman Syria, was the final destination of these death marches. In the midst of World War I, two Allied diplomats (Frenchman François Georges-Picot and Briton Mark Sykes) secretly agreed on the post-war division of the Ottoman Empire into respective zones of influence in the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916. Initially, the two territories were separated by a border that ran in an almost straight line from Jordan to Iran. However, the discovery of oil in the region of Mosul just before the end of the war led to yet another negotiation with France in 1918 to cede this region to ‘Zone B’, or the British zone of influence. This border was later recognized internationally when Syria became a League of Nations mandate in 1920 and has not changed to date.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria
Europe later allowed the US in on the oil. Is it because they needed US technology? US troops to help protect European oil wells? Because the US had fought with them in WWI? : “The discovery hastened the negotiations over the composition of TPC, and on 31 July 1928 the shareholders signed a formal partnership agreement to include the Near East Development Corporation (NEDC), an American consortium of five large US oil companies that included Standard Oil of New Jersey, Standard Oil Company of New York (Socony), Gulf Oil, the Pan-American Petroleum and Transport Company, and Atlantic Richfield Co.. Shares were held in the following proportions: 23.75% each to the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, Royal Dutch/Shell, the Compagnie Française des Pétroles (CFP), and the NEDC; the remaining 5% went to Calouste Gulbenkian.“. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_Petroleum_Company.
US Sec. of State Rex Tillerson’s Exxon Mobil descended from Standard Oil.
In October of 2016: “I write separately for a second, critical reason, which is my concern about the apparent lack of Syrian Christians as a part of immigrants from that country. It is possible that our case bears a direct link to this enigma.
It is well‐documented that refugees to the United States are not representative of that war‐torn area of the world. Perhaps 10 percent of the population of Syria is Christian, and yet less than one‐half of one percent of Syrian refugees admitted to the United States this year are Christian.1 Recognizing the crisis in Syria, the President in 2015 set a goal of resettling 10,000 refugees in the United States. And in August the government reached this laudable goal. And yet, of the nearly 11,000 refugees admitted by mid‐September, only 56 were Christian. To date, there has not been a good explanation for this perplexing discrepancy.
This is not to suggest that any refugee group is more or less welcome: quite the contrary. The good people of this country routinely welcome immigrants from all over the world. But in a democracy, good data is critical to public debate about national immigration policy. When we demand high evidentiary burdens for states seeking to keep their citizens safe, and then prevent the states from obtaining that evidence, we create a Catch‐22” “No. 16‐1840 HEARTLAND ALLIANCE NATIONAL IMMIGRANT JUSTICE CENTER, Plaintiff‐Appellant, v. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, Defendant‐Appellee. / Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. No. 12 C 9692 — Charles R.

There are only two pages on this file. The first is a letter from Norman Brook to the Prime Minister dated 1 October 1956 referring to ‘certain limited intelligence activities directed against the Egyptians’ which the PM had authorised, after discussion with ‘C’, and a note of the results of these activities [not on the file]. Brook states that ‘the results, though not spectacular, were worthwhile’ and Eden writes ‘Yes’. The second page is a letter from Brook to Hollis, head of MI5, restating the above, for the record.
