Woodrow Wilson: "Some of the biggest men in the U. S., in the
field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are
afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere
so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so
complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above
their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."[1]
President
Franklin Roosevelt: "The real truth of the matter is, as you and
I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned
the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson... "[2]
Real
conspiracies -- in contrast to mere theories -- have spawned
fear, murder, lies, and revolution throughout history. Driven by
greed, ambition, or utopian visions, they reflected the darkness
of human nature. No nation or empire has been immune to such
intrigue; betrayal, murder, and "useful wars" stain the records
of ancient Israel and Judah as well as the history of mighty
empires like Assyria, Babylon, Persia, China, Greece, and Rome.[3]
The nations of Renaissance Europe -- always competing for
dominion and commercial markets -- were torn by the same human
impulses.
More recent
conspirators such as Lenin, Stalin, and Mao bound their masses
to inflexible Communist standards that banned the Bible,
condemned resisters, and rewarded public murder. Hidden behind
their atrocities were Western supporters -- including the
financial establishments of J. P. Morgan (father of AT&T),
Carnegie and the
Rockefellers -- which funded revolutionaries and fueled the
global vision of
totalitarian control.[4]
Few have
done more to expose this global agenda than Carroll Quigley, a
former history professor at the Foreign Service Schools of
Georgetown University. You may remember him as Bill Clinton's
mentor, honored by his presidential pupil at the 1992 Democratic
Convention. Ponder this revelation from his 1300-page report,
Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time:
"There
does exist, and has existed for a generation, an
international Anglophile network which operates, to some
extent in the way the radical Right believes the Communists
act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the
Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the
Communists, or any other groups, and frequently does so. I
know of the operation of this network because I have studied
it for twenty years, and was permitted for two years, in the
early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret records.... [I]n
general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to
remain unknown...."[5]
Quigley's
next page describes the birth of
The
Council of Foreign Relations (CFR). A driving force behind
today's global transformation, CFR insiders have helped steer
the course of the current shift from U.S. sovereignty to a
regional union under the UN (like the European Union) with
open borders between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. He writes,
"At the
end of the war of 1914, it became clear that the
organization of this [secret] system had to be greatly
extended... the task was entrusted to Lionel Curtis who
established, in England and each dominion, a front
organization to the existing local Round Table Group. This
front organization, called the Royal Institute of
International Affairs, had as its nucleus in each area the
existing submerged Round Table Group. In New York it was
known as the Council on Foreign Relations, and was a front
for J. P. Morgan and Company.... In fact, the original plans
for the
Royal Institute of International Affairs and
The Council of Foreign Relations were drawn up at
Paris."[6]
In other
words, this conspiracy was international from the start. And,
beginning with the British diamond magnate, Cecil Rhodes, it was
grounded in enormous wealth acquired through capitalism, not
through the global socialism it envisions for all but the elite.
The key players were power-driven bankers, rich corporations,
and tax-free foundations that controlled the resources needed to
buy the cooperation of publishers, media moguls, educational
institutions, and government leaders across the political
spectrum.
As Dr.
Stanley Monteith wrote in his expose, Brotherhood of Darkness:
"J. P. Morgan and his associates financed the Republican Party,
the Democratic Party, conservative groups, liberal
organizations, communist groups and anti-communist
organizations."[7] Political affiliations
didn't matter all that much to the elite internationalists who
considered themselves above politics and national borders.
According to Quigley, the two main political parties became
essentially the same to them:
"The
chief problem of American political life...has been how to
make the two Congressional parties more national and
international. The argument that the two parties should
represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the
Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea
acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers.
Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that
the American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any
election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts
in policy."[8]
