UNDERSTANDING THE NEW WORLD ORDER

CONSPIRACY, CONSPIRACY THEORY, AND THEIR USE AS PROPAGANDA ---

This is a very touchy subject and requires a base of clarity. I expect that the reader will maintain a healthy skepticism, in conjunction with an open mind. In the end you will not be disappointed.

DEFINITIONS -- So that we are all playing in the same ball park, I'll start by defining the terms...

PROPAGANDA - n. 1. information or ideas methodically spread to promote or injure a cause, nation, etc.2. the deliberate spreading of such information or ideas. Propaganda is the systematic attempt to manipulate the attitudes, beliefs, and actions of people through the use of symbols such as words, gestures, slogans, flags, and uniforms. Ideas, facts, or allegations are spread to further a cause or to damage an opposing cause. The factor that distinguishes propagandizing from educating and informing is deliberate selectivity and manipulation. The word propaganda was derived from the title of the Congregation for Propagating the Faith (Congregatio de propaganda fide), established by Pope Gregory XV in 1622, which had jurisdiction over missionary work conducted by the Roman Catholic church. Within modern history, the propaganda machine of the German Nazis under Joseph GOEBBELS is especially infamous.

Different Forms of Propaganda

Propaganda can take various forms, ranging from overt attempts to influence the public to covert means of persuasion. Psychological warfare is a form of propaganda employed to confuse and demoralize enemy populations. BRAINWASHING is the practice of subjecting individuals to intensive political indoctrination and depends on methods aimed at breaking down the subject's resistance.

Considerably less extreme forms of propaganda also exist. ADVERTISING ( less extreme, but much more pervasive - J2 ) for example, has been regarded as propaganda. Information on consumer sentiments toward various products, their packaging, and sales and advertising techniques is obtained through market research. The information is then used to mount advertising campaigns making one-sided appeals to consumer preferences.designed to avert potential dangers.

The larger the propaganda enterprise, the more important are such mass media as television, newspapers, and the radio for reaching the widest audience in the most effective way. Mass communication studies that investigate the relative effectiveness and credibility of the various media are frequently used by propagandists when selecting a means of reaching the public. Using a method known as content analysis, the propagandist can quantitatively measure the symbolic content of his or her own propaganda and that of others. Symbol analysis has also been used to estimate the degree of fear and tension within a country. Apparently, at the height of a crisis, editorials concentrate on relatively few main symbols, whereas under relaxed conditions a broader set of symbols is used. ( from Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia- partial )

Mass political propaganda is ALSO successful when it results in INACTION, thus maintaining the status quo.

CONSPIRACY - A conspiracy, in Anglo-American common law, is a combination of two or more persons formed for the purpose of committing some unlawful or criminal act or for the purpose of using unlawful or criminal means to commit an act not in itself unlawful. The essence of the crime is the agreement and, in some jurisdictions, the taking of steps to effect the plan (see also COLLUSION). In cases where actual damage is sustained by one or more victims, conspirators are also subject to civil suit for the recovery of damages. ( Grolier's Multimedia Encyclopedia )

conspiracy (noun) -- Synonyms: PLOT 2, cabal, covin, intrigue, machination, practice, scheme Related words: sedition, treason; disloyalty, faithlessness, falsity, perfidiousness, perfidy, treacherousness, treachery Contrasted words: faith, faithfulness, fealty, loyalty. ( Grolier's )

If you and a neighbor secretly plan a surprise birthday party for another neighbor, this is not a conspiracy. If you and a neighbor secretly plan a surprise birthday party for another neighbor in the hope that he will get drunk and agree to pay half the cost of a fence that you would like to install, then this is a conspiracy. The point being that a third party is negatively affected by the conscious effort of the conspirators.

Conspiracies are a common occurrence. The act of keeping secret the conversation between a lawyer and his guilty client, is a conspiracy.

CONSPIRACY THEORY --- I can't find any reference to the term _ conspiracy theory _ in a dictionary, or thesaurus. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm ??? It must be that the powers that be don't want us to understand what conspiracy theory means.

This is an excellent example of conspiracy theory. It is not supernaturally based, and is possible in the rational scheme of things. The most famous examples are the JFK assassination conspiracy theories. From Oliver Stone's movie to the deathbed confessions of a Mafia don, one thing is sure, the most unbelievable story is the official one.

PROPAGANDA ACCORDING TO LEVEL OF EDUCATION --

Effective propaganda only works if it is tailored to the sucker's frame of reference. In the old days, and among primitive and / or uneducated people, as well as among educated religious people, a belief in the supernatural, where anything is possible, can allow one to believe the single source theory. The single source theory holds that all the evil and malevolence in the story can be traced back to a single source. In that person's world, a cabal ( from the Hebrew, Cabalah ) of fiendishly clever old Jews, can successfully conspire, organize, and carry out control and domination of the entire world in near total secrecy, even before the age of instant communications.

The notion among a fair portion of the American Black community that the White Devils invented Aids to decimate their ( Black's ) population is laughable to educated Blacks and just about all Whites. It's not that White Americans are not capable of doing such a thing, it's that once released into the general population, how does the disease distinguish Blacks from every one else ? If Blacks are more susceptible because of promiscuous sexual behavior, then this is a foolish attempt at genocide since the choice to accommodate the White Devils is entirely in the hands ( so to speak ) of the intended victims.

These two examples fall under the heading of " Conspiracy Theory ."

EDUCATED SUCKERS --

Several months ago C-Span aired a debate between Joe Madison, a Washington DC liberal radio talk show host, and Oliver North, a world famous scumbag. The debate was about the recent allegations that the C.I.A. ( Capitalisms Independent Army) was either responsible for, or complicit in the crack cocaine devastation of the urban poor in California and eventually the urban poor in the rest of the country. If these allegations are true, then that makes North and the national security people complicit in mass murder.

There are ample numbers of CIA and DEA agents ready to testify that this is true. This comes as no surprise to the Left, or to Vietnam War Vets, or to the Afghans, or to Israeli Intelligence, or to the Hmong refugees in this country. But this is too hard for ordinary civilians to swallow. It means discarding their essential beliefs in their country and by extension in themselves. If they can be given some wiggle room, then no serious and extensive overhaul need be done to the CIA or themselves.

Most of North's conversation was obfuscation and emphatic denial, but on several occasions he accused Madison and the San Jose Mercury News, who broke the story this time around, of buying into and foisting upon the public " conspiracy theories", and even mentioned Oliver Stone. Knowing full well what kind of people watch C-Span, he chose "conspiracy theory", rather than "conspiracy", because it was in fact a conspiracy, and by adding the word "theory" he introduces an element of doubt( in that a theory is different from a fact), while painting the accuser as paranoid or gullible. This leaves the intelligent educated audience feeling superior, and the doubt provides the wiggle room to "wait and see" or do nothing. Mission accomplished !

All positions of power, are conspiratorial. Withholding pertinent or empowering information from rivals or subordinates is a main component of keeping the Top Dog on top. Insider trading, price fixing, hidden taxes, political bribery, editorial prerogatives, advertising, AND the strict prohibition against open discussion of wages and salaries among peers in a company, are areas of life that conspiracies affect every day.

Covert operations the size of small wars, are directed against the very citizens who pay for them. The unleashing of drugs, bugs, and thugs on an unsuspecting civilian population, are a common though illegal occurrence.

A heist so big, that one book on the subject of the S&L whitecollar collusion between congress and bankers, is entitled "The Greatest Ever Bank Robbery" . Even that title understates the amount of money successfully stolen by conspiring businessmen and public servants. And now they would like us to turn Social Security over to these people.

" The Ruling Class rules not by conspiracy, but by mutual self interest." [AND by conspiracy when necessary.- J2]

" THE RICH ARE NOT LIKE THE REST OF US " --

The people we are talking about here are referred to by Ferdinand Lundberg as the "Super Rich". Were he writing his book today, it would be titled " The Rich, The Super Rich and The Hyper Rich ". These are the people we see in news clips of $1,000 dollar a plate political gatherings. These are the people who control the Administrative Branch, the Legislative Branch, and have great influence over the Invertebrate Branch of Government also known as the Supreme Court. These people should be viewed as a social class because they intermarry and have common interests. The three most common interests they have are ... 1) Extracting as much wealth from the universe as is possible. 2) How to keep from losing any of their money. 3) Accumulate all the power needed to maintain 1 and 2.

These are truly worthy endeavors, and keep these people busy and out of our lives ... except around election time.

" The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes." Felix Frankfurter -- Supreme Court Justice, CFR

" I care not what puppet is placed on the throne of England to rule the Empire,... The man that controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire. And I control the money supply." Baron Nathan Mayer de Rothschild

THE NEW WORLD ORDER --

Most people think that George ( Skull and Bones ) Bush invented the phrase after the Gulf War. In fact, the New World Order was initiated over one hundred years ago in Colonialist Great Britain, at the peak of empire.

If this statement is true, then how is it that so few people know about it ???

QUIGLEY--

" There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an institutional Anglophile network which opperates, 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 opperations 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 have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies ... but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown,and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known."

--Dr. Carroll Quigley, author of " Tragedy and Hope "(1966),and professor and mentor to William J. Clinton at Georgetown University.

"As a teenager, I heard John Kennedy's summons to citizenship. And then, as a student, I heard that call clarified by a professor I had named Carroll Quigley."

--President Clinton, in his acceptance speech for the Democratic Party's nomination for president, 16 July 1992. [Clinton is also a Rhodes Schollar.]

"... the powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences."

--Dr. Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope

A SNOOTY MEN'S CLUB --

Cecil Rhodes went to Oxford University where to the amazement of no one, he learned that, " the British upper classes possessed a glorious tradition of beauty, decency, education, law, and self - discipline."

After a solid education at Oxford, he was now prepared to steal as much as he could from the native peoples of Africa. With the financial backing of the Rothschild banking interests he founded the Consolidated Gold Fields, and DeBeers diamond empire in southern Africa. He also founded a country wittily named Rhodesia. Towards the end of his life he had a personal yearly income of $ 100,000,000 dollars in today's money.

HE HAD A DREAM --

He desired " to federate the English - speaking peoples and to bring all the habitable portions of the world under their control. For this purpose Rhodes left part of his great fortune to found the Rhodes Scholarships at Oxford in order to spread the English ruling class tradition." ( Quigley )

To these purposes Rhodes formed a private secret society with some very heavy hitters. Lord Balfour, Lord Gray, Lord Esher, Lord Rothschild, and Lord Milner (who organized a group called the British Round Table).

" From 1884 to about 1915 the members of the group worked valiantly to extend the British empire and to organize it into a federal system... Stead (one of the group) was able to get Rhodes to accept, in principal, a solution which might have made Washington the capital of the whole organization or allow parts of the empire to become states of the American Union." ( Quigley )

The chief backbone of this organization grew up along the already existing financial cooperation running from the Morgan Bank in New York to a group of international financiers in London led by Lazard Brothers. Lord Milner became a director of the precursor to the giant Midland Bank. He became one of the greatest political and financial powers in England with his disciples placed throughout England in significant places, such as the editorship of the Times, the editorship of the Observer, the managing directorship of Lazard Brothers, various administrative posts, and even Cabinet positions. Ramifications were established in politics, high finance, Oxford and London Universities, periodicals, the civil service, and tax - exempt foundations." ( Quigley )

THE ROUND TABLE GROUPS --

After the death of Cecil Rhodes in 1902, Lord Milner became the executor of Rhodes' trust. He organized " discreet " discussion / study / work groups known as the Round Table Groups throughout the Empire, including America. On May 30, 1919 members of different national delegations to the Paris Peace Conference met at the Hotel Majestic to discuss setting up an international group which would advise their respective governments on international affairs.

The planning delegations decided upon creating separate organizations cooperating with each other. They organized the Council on Foreign Relations ( Harrold Pratt House on East 68th Street in New York City. In 1922, it began publishing it's official mouthpiece, Foreign Affairs Magazine - http://www.foreignaffairs.org), and a sister organization, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, in London, also known as the Chatham House Study Group, to advise the British Government. A subsidiary organization, the Institute of Pacific Relations, was set up to deal with Far Eastern Affairs.

Other internationalist " private and discreet " groups of selfless caring royalty, aristocrats, bankers, politicians, diplomats and corporate CEOs are: The ( infamous, among conspiracy theorists ) Bilder- bergers, the Institut des Relations Internationales of Belgium, the Danish Foriegn Policy Society, the Indian Council of World Affairs, the Australian Institute of International Affairs, and similar organizations in France, Itally, Israel, Japan, etc..

I strongly emphasize at this point,that these rich men had no authority from the Constitution, or any other authorizing legal document to create these organizations of control and / or influence over our so called democratic political system. They did it because they could subvert and corrupt ANY political system with their enormous and often ill-gotten wealth. They did it to make certain that strong nation state governments would NEVER allow changes in the economic system that made them rich. And they would use the strong nation state's military power to extend their markets, and defend their private properties and Corporations from internal and external threat.

"The New York branch was dominated by associates of the Morgan Bank. For example, in 1928 the Council on Foreign Relations had John W. Davis as president, Paul Cravath as vice president, and a council of thirteen others, which included Owen D. Young, Russel Leffingwell, Norman Davis, Allen Dulles, George Wickersham, Frank L. Polk, Whitney Sheperdson, Isaiah Bowman, Stephan P. Duggan, and Otto Khan." (Quigley)

These men had economic and cultural ties to the British state and aristocracy. That they were Anglophile is obvious, but they were also Internationalists and admiring of European culture. They were (are) Episcopalian and highly urbane. They were (are) the models for the old "high society" characters epitomized by William Powell in the movies.

These people came to dominate the most important institutions in our society. They were powerful Wall Street lawyers like the Dulles brothers, who looked after the foreign investments of their super rich clients. Especially their investments in Europe, and more especially their investments in German corporations, which in the 1930s began building Hitler's new war machine.

At first with the backing of the Morgan Bank, and later with the Rockefeller Banks ( Chase Manhattan, and First National City Bank, now called Citicorp ) the CFR had a healthy start in life. It was and continues to be nourished by the giant tax averting foundations of the super rich, and direct donations from the Fortune 500 channeled through as member fees.

THE FOUNDATIONS --

Why are there " philanthropic foundations " ? Why would people who dedicated their lives to accumulating wealth and by extension, power, want to give it away ?

The following are excerpts from -- The Rich and the Super-Rich - By Ferdinand Lundberg.

- Public Relations - The founder may have been publicly disliked, like John D. Rockefeller I, or not very well liked, like Andrew Carnagy. But the forming of foundations had the effect of altering opinion in an unsophisticated population, turning the supposed bad guy into a supposed good guy.

- Tax Avoidance - Nearly all of the American foundations have come into view since the enactment of the income tax and estate laws: The foundations are completely exempt not only with respect to income taxes but also capital gains taxes. One does not know in each case that the founder sought to escape taxes, but common reason would indicate it. Many standard tax advisory services explicitly point to these factors as attractive features of foundations. F.L.

It should also be understood that when hugh amounts of money are excluded from the tax base, then a greater tax burden falls on the rest of us. If the poor don't have it, and the rich don't pay it, then an unfairly large proportion of the tax burden falls on the struggling middle class. (J2)

- Corporate Control ... which would otherwise be undermined by tax laws, is preserved to perpetuity by many foundations, permitting the hereditary transmission, tax free, of vast corporate power. F.L.

- Education and Propaganda - The foundations extend the power of their founders very prominently into the cultural areas of education ( and propaganda ), science, the arts and social relations. ( If you doubt this, you only need look at the credits of PBS' programming. - J2 ) While much that is done in these areas under foundation auspices meets judicious critical approval, it is a fact that these dispensations inevitably take the form of patronage, bestowed on approved projects, withheld from disapproved projects. Recipients of the money must be ideologically acceptable to the donors. F.L.

In other words, he who pays the piper calls the tune. The various foundations also fund the "Think Tanks" where hired brains rationalize, and publicize current trends across the narrow spectrum of their employers' world view. One of the more famous think tanks is the Brookings Institution. Brookings is utilized as the liberal or left, when in a debate with conservative or right American Enterprise Institue. These debates are most often seen on "thinking person's" news programs such as the News Hour on PBS, or Nightline on ABC, or the talking heads shows like Crossfire, Meet the Press, etc..

This type of presentation gives the appearance of ballanced coverage of the issues at hand, but are really two sides of the same coin since all the major think tanks are funded by major corporations, foundations, or directly by the rich. How many times have you seen Noam Chomsky, or Michael Parenti, or Gus Hall, debating Norm Ornstien on Nightline ?

" The grant-making foundation can exercise enormous power through the direct use of its funds. Moreover it materially increases its power and its influence by building collaeral alliances which serve greatly to insulate it against criticism... These dangers to our society relate chiefly to the use of foundation funds for political ends; they arise out of the accumulation of substantial economic power and cultural influence in the hands of a class of administrators of tax-exempt funds established in perpetuity. An " elite " has thus emerged in control of gigantic financial resources operating outside of our democratic processes, which is willing and able to shape the future of this nation and of mankind in the image of its own values and concepts. " ( Rene Wormser, author of " Foundations ", lawyer, and professional anti-communist )

And lastly, there is a revolving door between the foundations (Trusts), the Ivy League and elite academic institutions, and the highest posts in the federal government. Robert S. McNamara, and McGeorge Bundy ( Dean of faculty, Arts and Sciences Dept. at Harvard) are two well known examples of many.

--THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS--

WOODROW WILSON IN THE NEW WORLD --

Wall Street, particularly the Morgan Banking interests insured that their choice for President, Woodrow Wilson would win the office by funding a third party candidate, Teddy Roosevelt, who would split the vote of his main opponent Republican William Howard Taft. The Republicans were considered too close to Wall Street by an angry American voting public sick of the excesses of the Robber Barons and their predatory corporations. The strategy worked ( and continues to work to this day.) and Wilson was elected President.

Wilson's chief advisor in the White house was Colonel Edward M. House. House ran the State Department, and helped choose Wilson's Cabinet in much the same way that Warren Christopher helped choose Clinton's first Cabinet. House had strong connections to Wall Street, as well as to politicians and international bankers in Europe.

In 1916 Wilson charged a group of specially chosen intellectuals including the Dulles brothers, and Walter Lippmann ( the "dean" of US journalism ) with the tasks of creating the peace terms for a defeated Germany, and creating a framework for a new world order, as stated in the League of Nations Covenant. Both of these endeavors were abject failures eventually resulting in the slaughter-fest known as WWII.

John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, Christian A. Herter, were also invited by Colonel House to Paris in 1919 to meet with a group of like minded Englishmen to form organizations in their respective countries that will study international affairs. The Americans incorporated The Council On Foreign Relations in 1921. The stated purpose was to create a "positive US foreign policy" to counteract the " negative foreign policy " which was isolationism. Isolationism restricted international business and kept the US military out of very lucrative wars.

THE COUNCIL -- Excerpts from - Who Rules America Now by G. William Domhoff

- The largest and best known of the (3) policy organizations is the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Founded by bankers, lawyers, and academicians who were fully cognizant of the larger role the United States would play in world affairs after WWI, the council's importance in the conduct of world affairs was well established by the 1930s. The council had about 1800 members (in 1983), half from the New York area, half from the rest of the country. Before 1970 the members were primarily financiers, executives, and lawyers, with a strong minority of journalists, academic experts, and government officials. Since that time there has been an effort to include a larger number of government officials, including foreign - service officers, politicians and staff members of congressional comities concerned with foreign policy.

- For all sectors of the economy, the companies with the most members among their ( CFR's ) officers and directors were Morgan Guaranty Trust (16), Chase Manhattan Bank (15), Citibank (10), and IBM (8).

- Historical case studies suggest that study groups at the CFR have been at the heart of many foreign policy initiatives. For example, council groups called the War-Peace Study Groups met from 1940 to 1945 in order to develop plans for after WWII. ( Remember, we didn't get into WWII until Dec. 7, 1941 - J2 ) They had a major influence in creating the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the UN. A series of study groups in the 1940s and 1950s helped to establish the consensus wisdom that it was necessary to defend South Vietnam at all costs. Large foundation grants in the early 1960s led to study groups that reconsidered US policy toward China, concluding that the policy must be changed to allow for recognition of its communist government and eventual trade relations. --- G.W.D. ---

"The Council on Foreign Relations, another member of the international complex, financed by the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations, overwhelmingly propagandizes the globalist concept. This organization became virtually an agency of the government when World War II broke out. The Rockefeller Foundation had started and financed certain studies known as The War and Peace Studies, manned largely by associates of the Council; the State Department, in due course, took these Studies over, retaining the major personnel which the Council on Foreign Relations had supplied."

-- Rene A. Wormser,Chief Counsel to the Reece Committee, and author of "Foundations."

ILLEGITIMATE OFFSPRING --

- Council leaders ( Zbigniew Brzezinski, and David Rockefeller ) reacted to the large scale changes of the late 1960s and early 1970s by creating a new discussion group called the Trilateral Commission, which included 60 members from Japan and 60 from Western Europe as well as American members. Its goal was to develop closer economic and political cooperation among the industrialized democracies in dealing with economic competition among themselves and with challenges from underdeveloped countries. --- G.W.D. ---

Members of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission dominate key positions in America's government, military, industries, media outlets and educational foundations and institutions. The CFR's membership is limited to 3,000, and there are only 325 Trilateral Commission members.

" The Trilateral Commission doesn't secretly run the world. The Council on Foreign Relations does that." --- Winston Lord, President, CFR "W" Magazine, August 4-11, 1978, Fairchild Publications

These are the most powerful positions in the world. If they were all occupied by members of the Pipe Fitters Union you would wonder about what might be going on here. If they were all Black you'd really worry about ulterior motives. If they were all Jews, well .... it would be time to look at your old copy of the " Protocols of the Elders of Zion" with a more discerning eye.

HOW MANY STORIES HAVE ANY OF THESE PEOPLE DONE ON THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PRIVATE POLICY GROUP IN THE UNITED STATES ???

CFR meetings are usually held in secret and are restricted to members and very select guests. All members are free to express themselves at meetings unrestrained, because the Non- Attribution Rule guarantees that "others will not attribute or characterize their statements in public media forums or knowingly transmit them to persons who will. -- Council on Foreign Relations' 1992 Annual Report.

LOOK FOR THE UNION LABEL --

In South Korea, France, Israel, (Corp.Cap.) Russia, Germany, and everywhere that Corporate Politicians are attempting to cut into, and weaken the rights of Labor, Unions and their supportive populations are in the streets and ready to fight against the erosion of their standard of living. Conspicuous by their non-action are the beaten working people of the United States. Here's why.....

FOX IN THE HENHOUSE --

Look at what has happened to most of these unions since the ruling business elites got their Neo-Liberal policies rolling. There is NO ONE in American politics to represent working people.

WHAT THEY HAVE IN COMMON --

- They are all Rich by middle class standards. - They are influential in the society at large. - They are all Corporate Capitalists (as opposed to small business Capitalists). - They benefit handsomely from the status quo. - They are Upper Middle to Upper Class socially, despite humble beginnings for some. - They are striving to reorganize the world community into Trading Blocks, WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED. EVEN IN THE "DEMOCRATIC" NATIONS. - They ALL SEE THE NATION STATE AS OBSOLETE.

"[There must be] some dilution of sovereignty, to the immediate disadvantage of those nations which now possess the preponderance of power ... the establishment of a common money, might be vested in a body created by and responsible to the principal trading and investing people. This would deprive our government of exclusive control over a national money."

-- John Foster Dulles, CFR founder, former Secretary of State, 1939

"In the economic-technological field, some international cooperation has already been achieved, but further progress will require greater American sacrifices. More intensive efforts to shape a new world monetary structure will have to be undertaken, with some consequent risk to the present relatively favorable American position."

--Zbigniew Brzezinski, CFR member and founding member of the Trilateral Commission, and National Security Advisor to five presidents.

- Their justification is the claim that this will bring world peace, despite a dismal record of failure, and a history of starting wars and destabilizing Sovereign States to advantage multinational corporations which they own.

- For the first time in history it is technologically possible to establish a world wide system of communication capable of global organization. They are organizing the worlds economies in a manner which will keep them in control in order to exploit the resources and labor of ALL nations, not just the third world.

- This process is antithetical to democracy, but the illusion of democracy is required where possible to prevent insurrection. Where " democracy " doesn't work, dictatorial puppet governments are installed and maintained as long as they serve MULTINATIONAL CORPORATE INTERESTS. These are described by the media as NATIONAL INTERESTS, and defined by the groups under discussion here, and then disseminated through the mass media for public consumption.
