Cecil Rhodes and the One World
Agenda
The Anglo-American
Establishment is simply the powerful alliance of the top financial and merchant
interests of Britain and the United States. On the British side political power
became concentrated, beginning in the eighteenth century, in a group associated
with the first modern multinational corporation, the British East India
Company, and in the City of London financial nexus (the "merchant
bankers" that included Baring, Lehman, Rothschild and others). On the
American side political power became concentrated by the early twentieth century
in the factions that were associated with industry, commerce, and finance, such
as Morgan (banking), Rockefeller (oil), Harriman (railroads), Carnegie (steel),
Ford (automobiles), and DuPont (armaments). The so-called "great
rapprochement" that took place between the British and American governments
between 1895-1914 brought the Anglo and American factions together in the very
simple common desire to dominate the world and to make a lot of money in the
process.
One of the most important researchers of the Anglo-American
Establishment in the twentieth century was the late Georgetown professor
Carroll Quigley. His two most important books on the subject are Tragedy
and Hope, published in 1966 but quickly suppressed, and The
Anglo-American Establishment, not published until 1981 after Quigley's
death. The cover of the latter work very fittingly depicts an upside-down
American flag engulfed within the British Union Jack. Professor Quigley was a
mainstream historian who claimed a pro-Establishment perspective and was
thus allowed access to Establishment records and documentation,
and his work has shown itself to be consistently credible and accurate and
a primary source for understanding the makeup and evolution of the dominant
political power in the world today.
For Quigley, the origins of the Anglo-American
Establishment trace back to British imperialist Cecil Rhodes, and to his seven
wills that controlled how his wealth was to be distributed after his death. The
one consuming goal of Cecil Rhodes was to establish an Anglo-American alliance
that would take over the world and establish a global empire. Near the end of
his life Rhodes formed a secret group, together with his friends William T.
Stead and Lord Alfred Milner, Britain's most influential journalists, and Lord
Esher, later the influential advisor of Edward VII. The Group was formally
established on February 5, 1891, and was named the "Society of the Elect." In an
early letter to Stead Rhodes explained his vision for the Group,
The key of my idea discussed
with you is a Society, copied from the Jesuits as to organization... an idea
which ultimately [leads] to the cessation of all wars and one language
throughout the world .... The only thing feasible to carry this idea out is a
secret one gradually absorbing the wealth of the world to be
devoted to such an object .... Fancy the charm to young America ... to share
in a scheme to take the government of the whole
world!
One of the most important creations of the
Rhodes legacy was the Rhodes Scholarships that were set up in his seventh will.
Through this endowment the best and brightest young students have
been chosen from America and around the world and offered a chance to study
at Oxford University. There they are indoctrinated in the philosophies and
methods of the British elite to take their place in society as influential
supporters of the Establishment's imperial agenda of "absorbing the wealth of
the world." Dr. Dennis Cuddy's book The
Globalists offers an excellent overview of the legacy of the Rhodes
Scholarships over the years.
After Rhodes died, leadership of the Group
that he had created passed to Lord Alfred Milner, and it became
informally known as the Milner Group. In 1919 with the aid of Group member
Lionel Curtis, and financial backing from Cecil Rhodes' close friend Sir Abe
Bailey, the Royal Institute of International Affairs was created. It was
organized on May 30 at a meeting of British and American experts that had been
gathered in Paris for the Versaille peace negotiations. Quigley writes that the
RIIA, "is nothing but the Milner Group 'writ large.' It was funded by
the Group, has been consistently controlled by the Group, and to this day is the
Milner Group in its widest aspect."
Quigley goes on to describe the
American representatives of the meeting that created the RIIA,
The American group of experts,
'the Inquiry,' was manned almost as completely by persons from institutions
(including universities) dominated by J.P. Morgan and Company. This was not an
accident. Moreover, the Milner Group has always had very close relationships
with the associates of J.P. Morgan and with the various branches of the
Carnegie Trust.
The RIIA became headquartered in London at
Chatham House, the former residence of Sir William Pitt, the first Earl of
Chatham. Pitt was a member of the House of Lords when, in 1770, he remarked,
"There is something behind the throne greater than the king himself."
This is the basis of the phrase "the power behind the throne," and it is
certainly an ironic twist that Pitt's home became the home of the most
influential organization pushing behind the scenes for a world government.
(Click here for
the text of Sir Henry Kissinger's address to his allies at Chatham House on May
10, 1982, in which he embraced the imperial foreign policy of Winston Churchill
over the idealistic American approach of Franklin Roosevelt.)
The Council for Global
Domination
After establishing a
formal organization through which the British and American elite would jointly
seek world domination, and after establishing the British base in London, the
American faction sought out a base in their capital, New York City. Initially
these efforts faltered, but in 1921 an elitist dinner club that was suffering
from inactivity, known as the Council on Foreign Relations, was officially
merged with the RIIA. The inconspicuous CFR at the time was chaired by Wall
Street lawyer Elihu Root, who supervised the merger and brought new life into
the organization. After World War II it would become the Establishment's most
influential voice dictating the nature of the post-war world.
Over the years the very mention of the CFR can
bring forth accusations of "conspiranoia" from the Establishment media, its
payrolled pundits and its mainstream academic dupes. This mainstream rejection
of any critical analysis of the CFR's role over the years largely stems from the
hysterical and counter-productive accusations that have come from the extreme
right through organizations such as the John Birch Society. The basic JBS charge
is that the CFR is a bastion of global Communism and that
it has continually promoted the Communist movement around the world.
This well-known accusation has actually been a very useful smokescreen for the
Establishment, because the historical record is very clear that the agenda of
the CFR has actually been that of the opposite extreme.
The JBS, through its accusations, implies that
the agenda of the CFR must be that of promoting total government control over
national economies, which is the basis of Communism. However, the reality is
that the CFR's consistent agenda has been that of destroying the power of
Nation-States around the world, eroding the State's legitimate role as caretaker
of a fair economy, and limiting its fundamental function as the protector and
promoter of the general welfare of its citizens. The CFR, since the end of World
War II, has in fact been the most important foreign policy engine promoting
Anglo-American corporate Imperialism around the world, utilizing
laissez faire Capitalism as their weapon, and not Communism.
The CFR has always had a very complicated
relationship with Communism (which will be discussed in an upcoming article),
and not all of the far-right John Birch hysteria is off-target, but
unfortunately it has clouded the issue of what the CFR represents, and has
helped to shield it from legitimate criticism that it should have been bombarded
with. However, this shielding has not been entirely successful, as evidenced by
the groundbreaking 1977 work of Laurence H. Shoup and William Minter in Imperial
Brain Trust: The Council on Foreign Relations & United States Foreign
Policy. Their research offers documented proof that the CFR has been and
is controlled by American corporate and financial interests that are
predominantly based in New York City, and that the CFR has consistently
influenced official American foreign policy to look out for those interests as
its main priority. Part 3 of this
study mentioned a number of specific cases where those corporate interests were
forcefully protected by the Establishment as it worked through the US
Government, and now with the help of Imperial
Brain Trust (IBT) the influence and
agenda of the Establishment as it has been channeled through the medium of the
CFR will be examined.
The CFR and the New York
Financial Oligarchy
After the CFR became the RIIA's American
counterpart it was reorganized according to the plan of an appointed committee.
Elihu Root became the honorary president, John W. Davis the president, Paul
Cravath the vice-president, and Edwin Gay the secretary and treasurer. All of
them were associated with Wall Street and all were based in New York
City.
Elihu Root was the revered elder statesman of
American diplomacy. He was a Republican that had served under McKinley as
Secretary of War and under Theodore Roosevelt as Secretary of State. According
to IBT,
Root was an early leader in
America's imperial expansion, being responsible for organizing the
administration of the overseas territories won by the United States in the
Spanish-American War. He acted as counsel for several leading American
corporations and banks of the time. In addition he advised Andrew Carnegie on
his philanthropies, and served as first president of the Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace.
Root was the direct mentor of Henry L. Stimson
(CFR member from the beginning), who in turn served as Secretary of War under
Taft, Secretary of State under Hoover, and then under FDR as Secretary of War
from 1940. It was Stimson who pushed for the forced internment of Japanese
Americans during the war, and it was Stimson's eight-person government committee
that included four other CFR members that recommended the cruel
and unnecessary atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki under President
Truman. One of Stimson's CFR colleagues on the committee, Karl T. Compton the
president of MIT, argued that the bombs needed to be dropped to "impress the
world." After Stimson's retirement from government service Stimson then passed
the imperialist baton to his protégé, the Wall Street lawyer John J. McCloy, who
chaired the CFR from 1953-1970. From Root, to Stimson, to McCloy there are three
generations of CFR and Wall Street-based American Imperialists who worked their
whole lives against the very ideals that the American Republic was founded
upon.
John W. Davis, the CFR's first president, was
another Wall Street lawyer. He served President Woodrow Wilson as solicitor
general, and then as ambassador to Great Britain. After World War I he formed
his own law firm in New York City and became the chief counsel for J.P. Morgan
and Company. He was the Democratic presidential candidate in 1924, but was
beaten in the election by Calvin Coolidge. In 1933 John W. Davis became involved
in a fascist
plot to topple the new Roosevelt administration that threatened the Morgan
interests that were allied with the Bank of England, a plot that was exposed by
Major General Smedley Butler but then covered up by the Establishment press.
Davis also helped to found the American Liberty League, a Wall Street-dominated
organization that masqueraded as a patriotic "grass roots" movement that opposed
the New Deal.
Paul Cravath, the CFR's first vice-president
was yet another Wall Street lawyer, and his firm, Cravath, Swaine and Moore was
one of New York's largest and most influential. Cravath hired John J. McCloy and
Henry Leffingwell (another influential CFR member), to work for his firm at
different intervals.
Edwin Gay, the CFR's first secretary and
treasurer, was not a lawyer, he was an economist and the first dean of the
Harvard Business School. However he had close ties to Wall Street, and after
World War I Thomas W. Lamont, the chief executive of J.P. Morgan and Co.,
made Gay the editor of his New York Evening Post.
In the third chapter of Imperial Brain
Trust, entitled "The Council and the New York Financial Oligarchy," the
authors delve deep into the council's membership, leadership, and financial
backing to further expose its intimate ties to the New York corporate elite.
They write,
We have located the Council on
Foreign Relations at the center of a network linking both private and
government sectors of the foreign policy community. The picture presented so
far lacks an essential element, however, for neither the Council as an
organization nor the Council network and community exist within an isolated
world of foreign policy expertise. The Council is solidly based in the United
States capitalist class and represents a conscious initiative of the dominant
sector of that class, the New York financial oligarchy. Unless this is
taken into account, the content of the Council's views and the extent of its
influence are largely inexplicable.
Initial funding for the CFR came from
individual members, chiefly those associated with the Morgan Group, and then
later coming predominantly from the Rockefeller Group. In the late 1930s
the CFR began to receive funding from the major foundations, first coming from
Elihu Root's Carnegie Corporation, and then from the Rockefeller Foundation, of
which fourteen of its twenty-one trustees were CFR members in 1939. The CFR's
current headquarters at the Pratt House in New York City came from the
Rockefeller circle, donated to the Council in 1945 by Mrs. Harold I. Pratt,
whose fortune came from her husband's years as an employee of Rockefeller's
Standard Oil. In 1953 the Ford Foundation, which had been newly reorganized
according to Establishment dictates, made its first contribution to the CFR, a
$100,000 grant to finance a study on US-Soviet relations that was chaired by
John J. McCloy, through which Henry Kissinger first made a name for himself.
IBT remarks that this was the very same year in which McCloy
became the chairman of the CFR, Chase Manhattan Bank, and the Ford Foundation
all at once, an unsurpassed Establishment hat trick. The next year the Ford
Foundation gave the CFR $1.5 million and the two organizations have had close
ties ever since. (See the article "Time For Ford
Foundation & CFR To Divest?" by Bob Feldman.)
In 1953 the CFR began its Corporation Service,
a program offering seminars to business executives of corporations that gave
$1000 or more annually to the Council. Twenty-five firms signed on for the
service initially, but it grew quickly. IBT remarks that David
Rockefeller was particularly active in recruiting corporations to sign up for
the program and by 1972 it included 157 companies that together contributed
hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Council each year. The third chapter of
IBT includes the following table that documents the corporate
presence within the CFR:

The authors
of IBT explain why these major corporations and the banks and
firms associated with them have such a strong interest in having a voice within
the foreign policy think tank,
The firms listed in Table 3-3
are certainly included among the top "multinationals." Of the industrials and
commercial banks, at least Mobil, IBM, and the First National City Bank earn
more than 50 percent of their profits overseas. Chase Manhattan Bank has
subsidiaries in over 100 countries and obtains almost 35 percent of its
earnings from foreign operations, while Exxon and ITT make 39 and 38 percents
of their sales, respectively, overseas. In 1974 DuPont made 28 percent of its
total sales overseas and had over 100 plants in twenty-nine countries and
territories outside the United States. General Electric, which reported 18
percent foreign sales, is also a full-scale "multinational," with
manufacturing facilities in twenty-four countries and an international
orientation aimed at building the "GE World System." J.P. Morgan does business
in thirty-two different foreign countries and Chemical Bank in twenty-five.
Even U.S. Steel, which had only five percent of its sales overseas in 1973, is
heavily involved abroad in other ways, owning a near majority of stock in a
manganese mine in Gabon, a copper mine in South Africa, a nickel mine in
Indonesia, iron mines in Canada, and manufacturing or steel making facilities
in Spain, Nicaragua, Italy, France, Brazil, India, and Germany. The other
financial institutions and law firms listed, while not "multinationals," are
intimately involved in the same world economic system as investors in and
advisors to the industrial firms and commercial banks. It is thus clear that
these corporations and their leaders, dominant in the Council on Foreign
Relations, are most concerned with establishing and maintaining a foreign
policy and world environment favorable to their very large economic interests
overseas.
IBT goes further into
documenting the makeup of the CFR by highlighting the seven major financial
groups or factions that in 1977 (IBT's publication date) maintained the highest
levels of influence within the Council. These factions were (and are) the
Rockefeller Group, which controlled Chase Manhattan Bank, Chemical
Bank, the Bank of New York, Equitable Life, Metropolitan Life, Mobil Oil,
the investment bank Kuhn, Loeb, the law firm Debevoise, Plimpton, Lyons and
Gates, the law firm Milbank, Tweed, Hadley and McCloy, and Standard Oil of New
Jersey (Exxon); the Morgan Group, which controlled J.P. Morgan and Co.,
Morgan Stanley, New York Life, Mutual of New York, the law firm
Davis, Polk, and the multinationals U.S. Steel, General Electric, and
IBM; the First National City Group (basically another subsidiary of the
Rockefeller Group), which controlled First National City Bank, the law firm
Shearman and Sterling, and International Telephone and Telegraph (ITT); the
Harriman Group that specialized in banking and through which the Bush
family rose to power; the Lehman Brothers - Goldman Sachs Group that was
based in Wall Street and controlled General American Investors; the Sullivan
and Cromwell Group, the prestigious New York-based international corporate
law firm run by the Dulles brothers; and the DuPont Group, that has an
international reach and specializes in armaments and chemicals.
The CFR Creates the Postwar
World
Now that the dominant role of the New York financial
oligarchy within the CFR has been explained, it is time to examine the hugely
influential role that has been played by the CFR in formulating the economic and
foreign policies of the United States government since even before World War
II.
After Herbert Hoover was defeated by FDR the
Establishment was faced with the emerging reality that laissez faire
economic policies had been a major factor creating the Great Depression.
The emerging trend became that of economic nationalism, and the monopoly held by
the corporate/financial Establishment over economic decisions was challenged.
The government was asked to take a role in regulating a fair financial climate
and FDR's New Deal was a step in this direction. To meet the threat of "Big
Government" the CFR's secretary-treasurer Edwin F. Gay published an article in
the CFR's journal Foreign Affairs, which was followed by a study group
that was chaired by John Foster Dulles and included influential members of FDR's
administration. The end result was that the extent of FDR's domestic economic
reforms were scaled back, and the passage of the Export-Import Bank and Trade
agreements Act in 1934 "marked a return to traditional emphasis on foreign trade
expansion as a solution to domestic problems." FDR was indeed influenced by the
banking establishment, but he was influenced to tilt decidedly towards the
right, in a direction that favored Wall Street and laissez faire
capitalism, rather than towards the left as some conservative critics of FDR
continue to imagine.
During World War II the CFR's most important
program was its War and Peace Studies Project. IBT
explains,
The Second
World War and the subsequent cold war were decisive turning points in the
history of American foreign policy. They marked a move on the part of the
United States toward a full-blown imperialism - a largely successful attempt
to organize a single, world-spanning political economy with the United States
at the center. Providing the intellectual rationale and leading this thrust
toward global power was the Council on Foreign
Relations...
Among the groups depending on the Council
for "light and guidance" was the United States Department of State. The
department had just incorporated the top leadership of the Council's special
War and Peace Studies Project into its own Advisory Committee on Postwar
Foreign Policy, and the Council's research secretaries for the project into
its own planning staff for half of each week.
The War
and Peace Studies were a turning point in American
history...
The War and Peace Studies Project began
in 1939 with funding from the Rockefeller Foundation. It was divided into five
study groups (Economic and Financial, Political, Armaments, Territorial, and
Peace Aims) that focused on specific aspects of the future postwar
world, and plotted how to guide US foreign policy in a way that ensured the
dominance of the New York-based financial and corporate powers.
IBT documents the role of the Project in chapter four
entitled: "Shaping a New World Order: The Council's Blueprint
for World Hegemony, 1939-1975." At least four major postwar global institutions
were planned either within the War and Peace Studies Project, or elsewhere
within the CFR during the war, and then created afterwards:
The Marshall Plan for
rebuilding Western Europe was created within a group headed by lawyer Charles M.
Spofford, with a young David Rockefeller as secretary, called Reconstruction in
Western Europe. This group maintained close contact with Secretary of State
George C. Marshall for whom the plan was later named. The Marshall Plan provided
American tax dollars to European governments which were then kicked back to
American corporations to purchase imports and pay for the rebuilding of
infrastructure. It was a very important plan for the New York financial
oligarchy and John J. McCloy was dispatched to Germany to act as High
Commissioner to oversee the early phases of the plan. The Marshall Plan worked
out to be a gift to Europe from the American taxpayer and a very positive
initiative to help Europe rebuild, but it was also a brilliant financial coup
for Wall Street and for the many corporations involved that made
millions.
The IMF and the World
Bank were also envisioned early on within the CFR. In November 28, 1941
a memorandum was dispatched to FDR and the Department of State from the
Economic and Financial Group of the War and Peace Studies Project. It mentioned
the need for a US/UK board of financial experts to be set up to plan for an
"international investment agency which would stimulate world trade and
prosperity by facilitating investment in developmental programs the world
over." This memo was then followed up by recommendations for what the board
itself should recommend. Jacob Viner, the professor of economics at the
University of Chicago who led the Group said in February of 1942, "It might
be wise to set up two financial institutions: one an international exchange
stabilization board and one an international bank to handle short-term
transactions not directly concerned with stabilization." Viner's
recommendations became a reality in 1944 at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, when
both the IMF and the World Bank were created under firm Anglo-American
control. The role that these organizations have played in helping the
Anglo-American Establishment "gradually absorb the wealth of the world" will be
covered below.
The creation of the United
Nations was also recommended by the CFR during the war, and the
eighteen acres on the east side of Manhattan on which the UN headquarters now
stand was donated to the UN by John D. Rockefeller Jr. in 1946. The first
serious planning for the UN began with the Informal Agenda Group established by
Secretary of State Cordell Hull. Hull was not a CFR member, but he was acting on
CFR proposals and five out of the six original members of the IAG were
members of the CFR. After the IAG produced a draft for the proposed UN they then
turned to three distinguished lawyers to rule on its constitutionality. They
were Myron C. Taylor (CFR director), John W. Davis (former CFR President and
current director, and lawyer for J.P. Morgan Co.), and Nathan L. Miller the
former governor of New York. When the UN was officially created at the
international conference in San Francisco in 1945 the American delegation
included seventy-four CFR members. IBT concludes,
The Department of State was
clearly in charge of these propositions within the American government, and
the role of the Council on Foreign Relations within the Department of State
was, in turn, very great indeed. The Council's power was unrivaled. It had
more information, representation, and decision-making power on postwar
questions than the Congress, any executive bureaucracy except the Department
of State, or other private group. It had a very large input into decisions on
the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the United Nations. The
formulators of the Grand Area had indeed been able to gain positions of
strength and put their plans for United States world hegemony into
effect.
The United Nations has been dominated by
the Anglo-American faction of London and New York from the very beginning.
Rather than supporting national sovereignty and strengthening the ability of
nations to act on behalf of their peoples the UN has evolved into just another
tool of Empire. The Establishment has been the main cause of the economic
misfortunes in the world and the resulting suffering and injustice since
the end of World War II, and to remedy that injustice the Establishment offers
the bogus solution of world government through multinational agencies and their
unelected bureaucrats, spearheaded through the UN.
That the Establishment has dominated the UN
cannot be argued, as author Phyllis Bennis proves in her book Calling
the Shots - How Washington Dominates Today's UN. However, as is sadly
typical of many commentators, Bennis fails to adequately explain that Washington
is itself dominated by New York and that the elected representatives based in
Washington are simply the puppets of the New York-based Corporate elite.
Rockefeller would not have given the UN eighteen acres of prime Manhattan real
estate and allowed the US to grant it sovereign territorial status, if he had
not been completely certain that his family and the interests allied with it
would always be in control of the organization.

Establishment's CFR influence within the US government over the years, in
central banking and the Federal Reserve System, in US colleges and universities,

City and the Apocalypse
Part 8 :The Nature
of the Beast
This study is a
comprehensive historical/political analysis of the United States of America, and
of the powers that have controlled her since the early twentieth century. Our
nation was born in a struggle against Empire, and we existed for over a century
as an example and leader around the world against the oppression that Empire
represented. However, a change took place. We were seduced and then intoxicated
by the lure of luxury and riches, and we became an agent for Empire, and then an
Empire ourselves.
The Introduction
of this study simply puts forth the fact that the world has undergone a massive
change, and that a New World Order has already arrived. It is a New World Order
that is dominated by the merchants and financiers who, from their power base in
New York City, continue to erode sovereign nations around the world in their
blind pursuit for profit. Christians must address this present New World Order,
and American Christians, many of whom have been duped into supporting it, must
take a step back and reevaluate their basic values and their deeply held
political prejudices.
Part One
explains the wickedness behind the global financial system that now dominates.
It is based on greed, period. However, Americans can be encouraged by the fact
that traditional American ideals used to be much more clear and pure. We used to
champion an economic system based on human development and progress, and we saw
through the false and destructive lure of Empire. We can take pride in the past,
and we deserve to and should, because we were once the world's greatest
_expression_ of liberty. If only America would recognize those ideals we still
might realize our potential to lead the world in a positive
direction.
Part Two
explains where things went wrong, but it also brings forth an unlikely hero, at
least from the usual Conservative viewpoint, in the fight against Empire. Many
will question my perspective on the career of FDR, but it must be conceded that
he played an instrumental role in dismantling the British Empire, offering
oppressed people around the world at least a brief chance to realize freedom. In
this he was a true American. However, when FDR died things went wrong, and the
profit-minded Establishment that surrounded him was able to dominate Truman and
chart a course once again for Empire.
Part Three
explains some of the events that took place as America consolidated its Empire.
The Cold War was, for all intents and purposes, a sham, a charade, a
smokescreen, that allowed the American merchant and banking Establishment to
expand their influence and pad their profits. As this study covers American
involvement in the Third World we will introduce various members of the
so-called "American Establishment." Men like Allen and John Foster Dulles, John
J. McCloy, David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger and George Bush. Their connection
to the international bankers and merchants will be explained and their roles in
sponsoring oppression and destroying Democracy will be highlighted. We'll also
take a good look at an aberration, the brief respite the world felt while JFK
led the nation. The longer he remained in power the more Wall Street became
frustrated. And so they killed him.
Part Four
examines the history of the Anglo-American goal of a single world government,
and it examines the Council on Foreign Relations as a branch of the faction
dedicated to that goal. The CFR is revealed as one of the most effective
institutions pursuing the Anglo-American objective of "gradually absorbing the
wealth of the world," and its role as a promoter of the international merchants
and of free market economics against the sovereignty of nations is
highlighted.
Part Five
is perhaps the most important section of this study and should be read by
all Conservatives who believe that only Capitalism and the "free market" can
save us from tyranny. The opposite is true. The future totalitarian one world
government is being built on the back of unrestricted Capitalism, which has been
the stated goal of some of the most revered "free market" economists of the
twentieth century. This section will also reveal that "conservative economics"
is only ultra-liberalism in disguise, and has been from the beginning. Its
champions have always viewed the Judeo-Christian ethic of brotherly love and
moral restraint as their greatest enemy.
Part Six
demonstrates why the Establishment has pushed "Conservative" economics as the
system of choice, and will show that in the past few decades this system,
working hand in hand with the IMF, World Bank, and World Trade Organization, has
succeeded in bringing about the greatest theft of real wealth, from the poor
into the hands of the super-rich, that this world has ever
seen.
Part Seven
organizes and analyzes all of the preceding facts and matches them up with the
seventeenth and eighteenth chapters of the Book of Revelation. New York City,
the home of the international merchants that have seduced and corrupted the
kings of the earth, causing them to betray their own people in return for riches
and material luxury, is our American Babylon. New York City is that great city
that will be judged by God and then hated by the Antichrist.
Part Eight
examines the Beast upon which the Great Prostitute rides, and attempts to
