Halford John Mackinder & Geopolitics

Tentative Pokings by Rerevisionist 3 April 2020. Link added 17 Dec 2020

Conspiratorialists have looked at mind control operations, lies, propaganda, concealments of secrets, sealed archives—generally, how lies may have been spread. What lies were told is perhaps more important. This piece offers a suggestion.

Halford John Mackinder was the first reader in geography at Oxford University, from 1887-1905, aged about 26-44. It's not clear what his qualifications were. And note that W A S Hewins (William Albert Samuel Hewins, 1865-1931) in 1895, Hewins was appointed, by Sidney Webb, the first Director of the London School of Economics, and replaced by Mackinder in 1899. The whole operation was Jewish, though this was concealed; how successfully is hard to determine at this time—maybe it was an open secret amongst some.
I poked around to try to work out what Mackinder actually did. (Note that his name may have been changed; many Jews adopted Scottish or Welsh surnames to hide their accents). He was influential in the then-new Reading University—often a Jewish activity, as with an Attenborough. He seems to have largely disappeared for many years despite his apparently stellar career. For example, he is not listed anywhere in the Encyclopædia Britannica of 1910-11 (entries go from GEOMETRY to GEOPONICI; no HJM entries; not in LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS, though I have not searched for the name throughout the volumes), though he does surface in the 1973-74 updated version. He was not listed in Hammerton's Biographies in the 1930s. Most or all of the small mentions refer to Nazis, and there seems to be a pretence that geographical issues were not thought about by the 'Allies', including the mass killers of the USSR.
But after the war there may have been some rehabilitation; it was also after his death in 1947. Below I have four pages from Y.M.Goblet's Political Geography and the World Map, translated from the French in 1955; and two pages from Briault & Hubbard's Advanced Geography of 1957.
Mackinder was Chairman of the Imperial Shipping Committee for 25 years (see below) among many academic and trading positions. I'd suggest he was well aware of Jewish money power around the world, and knew of the geography of distributed Jews and their tentacles in all trading countries, including the Jew-controlled USSR after the 1917 Jewish coup. I hope some researchers might consider this possibility worth investigating.
Hexzane527 wrote a piece The Absurdity of Wanting to Develop Lebensraum might provide an explanation for Hitler's presumably planted ambitions in Russia, for Jews and Palestine, and Jews wanting mass deaths of Germans and Slavs.

Arthur Keith was admired by Russell, as providing group evolutionary theories—though inevitably they do not include ideas of parasitism. And Arthur Salter on currency questions and fractionally-backed currencies was another interesting type. Added later: Tim Marshall Prisoners of Geography is journalistic, in the sense of aiming to be popular, but of course omitting everything difficult, and anything Jewish establishments don't like. My review may help.

Part of the index from Dear Bertrand Russell (1969). Note that Mackinder's name is misspelt. In one of his letters to the public, Russell wrote that Halford Mackinder led him away from the view that geographers 'were academic charlatans'

1946 Odhams dictionary. Doesn't list 'GEOPOLITICS'!

Ronald Clark's biography of Russell (1975) mentions a dinner with the Webbs, and with Russell and Mackinder.

Entry in Chambers' Biographical Dictionary of 1990. Apologies for the less than perfect scanning.

Encyclopædia Britannica of 1973-4 attributed Geopolitics to Rudolf Kjellén, apparently a Swede, and includes more or less obligatory 'Nazi' references, as though world geography was not part of 'Allied' policies.
Note that the 1910/11 Britannica did not include Geopolitics; nor as far as I could find any mention of Mackinder, which suggests his work was treated as an official secret.

Russell commented on Mackinder, though not very seriously. Note the misspelling of Leo Amery, not unknown with Russell's printed books. Perhaps the printers did it; this happened with 'The New Humanist' (I think) years ago. 'Miliband' was spelt 'Milliband' in Russell's Autobiography.

'the head Beast of the School of Economics' said Russell—from 1903-1908 Mackinder was Director of the London School of Economics and Political Science.
