The beginning of recorded history mentions the Anglo-Saxon people. The Roman Empire met them, along with the other Germanic tribes, and were completely annihilated by them.
Fast forward until about 400 AD, and the Britons, according to what scant records there are, invited the Angles, Saxons, and others to the island of Britain. The native Britons disappeared a generation later. Some say it was genocide. Others say it was also genocide, but peacefully. Regardless, the Angles, Saxons, and others were in a corner of the British isles, surrounded by Welsh and others.
Over time, the Anglo-Saxons become one people united not by blood but by a self-defense pact. That pact was tested with the viking raids, which the Anglo-Saxons repelled more or less successfully, eventually allowing some of them to settle north of them as an eternal truce. The Anglo-Saxons then became integrated into a larger empire that spanned all of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea.
Things continued more or less along these lines, until the Duke of Normandy "conquered" England and claimed it for himself. This set up a strange kingdom where the Normans were ostensibly in charge but the Anglo-Saxons were supposed to be ruled by them. Eventually, the kings of England had to delegate powers to the Earls (tribal regional chiefs) and thus an uneasy truce was more or less established between the kings and the people.
By the time the new world was discovered, the Anglo-Saxon peoples were just finding their stride. They had proven themselves on the field of battle as superior to the entire French army, composed of wealthy landowners and nobles equipped with the best technology anyone could buy at Agincourt. Had Henry V survived, there may have been a French-English empire that would have dominated Western Europe, but fate had a different idea in mind.
Queen Elizabeth the First was the one who pushed England on to the international scene as a power to contend with. After successfully pirating vast sums of wealth from the Spanish Fleets with better-built and better-manned ships, eventually the Spanish sent their most powerful ships to contend with England in the English channel, where they were wiped out and by default England became the superpower. Naval superiority meant that the English people were now completely free from foreign domination and could move freely about the entire world.
And where did they go? Everywhere. "The sun never sets on the British Empire" was a common saying up until the mid-20th Century. Anglo-Saxons spread their culture and values and art and music everywhere they went. They colonized and conquered, often times being grossly outnumbered. How did they do this? You'll have to look at the history books for yourself, but to summarize: They did everything possible to obtain power and influence. Unlike the Spanish Empire, they were not focused on extracting resources as much as taking land for themselves.
The United States declared independence in 1776, and after several years of brutal fighting, eventually GB and the US came to terms, at the expense of their allies, especially France and Spain. GB only wanted to trade. They knew that their power came from mutual benefit, not domination. Along with this came Adam Smith who explained the virtues of economic freedom. Thus began the new direction of the Anglo-Saxon people: unrestricted trade. While the US never embraced wholesale free trade, the UK did, and they benefitted dramatically from it, becoming the center of the industrial revolution.
The industries that the UK developed found themselves across the world, including the US. The US people took that technology and multiplied it into an economic powerhouse that dwarfed the rest of the world. It wasn't until WWII, however, that the US realized how far ahead of the game they actually were. They had surpassed Europe long before then, of course, probably sometime around the mid-19th Century, during the Civil War.
What makes the Anglo-Saxon people different, separate, even better than all other cultures and tribes? I'd have to say these things:
1. Our willingness to fight to the end, no matter the cost. Impossible conditions are our bread and butter. When faced with an impenetrable defense in the Civil War, Grant send troops to be mowed down by the enemy. Why? Because that was his advantage in the war: he could load rail cars full of soldiers and keep turning them out until the enemy's ammo was depleted. If dying will win the war, we will do it. (We admire the Russians for this ethos as well. Germans don't understand this at all, and that's why they always lose wars.)
2. Our willingness to wage war in economic arenas too. We work and work and when things go wrong we work even harder. If things are too easy, we don't know what to do. Our goal in life is to fight and fight and fight and just survive. If we thrive, we get confused.
3. Our willingness to adopt any and all technologies and ideas, no matter their source. During Desert Storm, a captured Iraqi was surprised to see pictures of Rommel in US tanks. The US tank crew explained that had the Iraqis studied Rommel as the genius he is, they wouldn't have been captured. We will steal your tech, we will steal your culture, and we will steal your language if it suits our needs.
4. Our unwillingness to fight and die for esoteric or "moral" causes. If it doesn't involve something that obviously benefits us, we don't want to die for it. Some see this as a weakness or compromise. So be it. There's stuff we will fight and kill for, and there's stuff we really don't care about. For example, the Civil War wasn't really about slavery. It was about whether we would allow our nation to split. The winning side insisted we had to stick together to survive, while the losing side said it's not worth it if the "others" could dictate economic policy. The South fought for "freedom", the North fought for "practical purposes."
I remind other people that Anglo-Saxons come born with a switch. When it is in the "off" position, we are the friendliest and kindest people you will ever know. When it is in the "on" position we will laugh while we commit genocide. Some people push us and push us and push us and think we are pushovers, which we use to our advantage. The day we bite back we do not take a pound of flesh. We commit genocide.
This war with the cartels in Mexico -- I do not think they understand what our victory condition is. It is simply this: They are all dead, all of them, all of their men, women and children. Mexico becomes the safest suburb of the United States, so much so that Canada seems angry and scary. We will raze Mexico to the ground until our little children can play there without nary a thought from us.
And we are waking up to the jews. Oh boy are we waking up to them. We silently take notes and keep score. As for myself, I realize that expulsion will not solve the problem permanently. I do not think the jews who abuse their welcome realize what the Anglo-Saxons are going to do to them when that welcome is gone. The jews who do not mean us harm will have to find some way to identify themselves as harmless. Remember how we turned in an instant on Muslims after 9/11? Oh boy it is coming soon.
