Real Conspiracies - Past and Present

resident 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]
