Preamble
The 47 minute film titled “The Capitalist Conspiracy: An Inside View of International Banking”, by the author of the
famous book on the founding of the Federal Reserve System “Creature from Jekyll Island”, can be watched here. The material that G. Edward Griffin used for his film to identify the private Western banking cartel as the Capitalist
Conspirators, is from the book Tragedy and Hope, written by the George Town University Professor of History, and President Bill Clinton's mentor, Dr. Carroll Quigley.
The filmmaker also acknowledged W. Cleon Skousen's book The Naked Capitalist, as the key source of inspiration for his film.
The transcription of excerpts from the internet version of this film in this essay is provided for those busy peoples of
the world who do not have much time to read complex books, or to watch lengthy videos as they pursue their respective
“American Dreams”. Excerpt-1 contains the first introductory minute of the full video, followed by two short 9 and 5
minute excerpt clips of the film found on youtube. It is hoped that the shorter clips will entice the reader into
watching the full film, and into rationally connecting the dots to the Current Affairs that are grotesquely unfolding
before everyone's eyes even as I write this.
Furthermore, the reader is encouraged to replace the word “Communism” in the quoted excerpts with “Islamofascism” or “Islamism” as a mental experiment, to bring this revealing 1977 film into the modernity of 2008 without changing a single thing
else. The Project Humanbeingsfirst's reports: “From Balance of Terror to Unilateral Terror on the Grand Chessboard!” and “Islamofascism - Zionofascism - Judeofascism - Christofascism - Neofascism etc. An equitable distribution of Collateral
Language!” fills in the remaining context for the fiction du jour of “War on Terror”! As of this writing, its full brunt is being
faced by a beleaguered nuclear-armed Pakistan which is now posited as the world-threat – “the very petri dish of international terrorism” – as noted in the Press Release: “WHAT'S TO BE DONE – Massive Bomb Blast in Islamabad Marriott September 20, 2008”.
Excerpt-2 contains the following remarkable narration by G. Edward Griffin in 1977 which forebodingly told the future
that is manifestly here today:
“Create conditions so frightful at home and abroad, that the abandonment of personal liberties and national sovereignty,
will appear as a reasonable price for a return to domestic tranquility and world peace.
If those who seek world dominion can stimulate leftist mobs into violent confrontation with local law enforcement, and
also provide exhaustive news coverage, so that the entire nation can see and tremble, then the peaceful and freedom
loving majority can be programmed to accept a vast expansion of government powers, and even a national police force,
offered supposedly to end the violence.
If those who seek world dominion can raise the spectre of an enemy, armed to the teeth with superior atomic weapons on
the verge of launching a nuclear holocaust, and also offer world-government as the prevention, then millions of
Americans can be programmed to accept the loss of national sovereignty, as our last best hope for peace.”
This predicted ominous future is today quite non-conspiratorially visible to all and sundry, as millions of Americans
have already been programmed to accept their nation turning into a Police State as spelled out by Project
Humanbeingsfirst in its “Response to 'How the GOP Turned the US Into a Hideous Police State'”.
That Capitalist Conspiracy of the financial oligarchy leading to an end to national sovereignty, was also the likely
prime-mover behind their influential intellectual mouth-piece CFR's Foreign Affairs magazine April 1974 article “The Hard Road To World Order” by Richard N. Gardner. As the former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for International Organizations under Kennedy
and Johnson, and a member of the Trilateral Commission, he outlined the overarching modus operandi:
“In short, the ‘house of world order’ will have to be built from the bottom up, rather than from the top down. It will
look like a great ‘booming, buzzing confusion’ to use William James’ famous description of reality, but an end run
around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal
assault.”
One example of this insidious “eroding it piece by piece” can be seen at play today in the short clip found on youtube of CNN report hosted by journalist Lou Dobbs, in which CFR author Robert Pastor outlined the plans for “Building a North American Community” by 2010 based on a CFR strategy/policy planning document with that name.
Republican Congressman Ron Paul called it the “Conspiracy of Ideas” during a 2008 Republican Presidential Candidates' debate amidst thunderous applause from the audience.
He candidly and boldly observed that the “CFR exists, the Trilateral Commission exists”, and that it is “an ideological battle” in which:
“some people believe in Globalism, and others of us believe in national sovereignty;
and there is a move on toward a North American Union just like early on there was a move on for a European Union and it
eventually ended up. ...
These are real things, it's not somebody made these up, it's not a conspiracy, they don't talk about it, and they might
not admit about it, but there has been money spent on it ...
So it's not so much a secretive conspiracy, it's a contest between ideologies; whether we believe in our institutions
here, our national sovereignty, our Constitution, or are we going to further move in the direction of international
government, more UN.
You know, this country goes to war under UN Resolutions.
I don't like big government in Washington.
So I don't like this trend towards international government ...
But it's not so much it's a sinister conspiracy, it's just knowledge is out there, if we look for it, you'll realize our
national sovereignty is under threat!”
Another instance of devilishly crafting the “end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece [to] accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal
assault” can be seen in the crafty lender's trap that most developing nations have been snared in by the tag team duo WB–IMF.
The belated exposes of consummate insiders now turned 'priests', like the famous John Perkins, tell the sorry tale of deprivation and in-humanity that is being continually visited upon the vast majority of the
poor peoples on planet earth through this deliberate debt-lever which is used to compel once sovereign nations, into
accepting the neo-liberal policies crafted by the same financial oligarchic Western ruling elite! The CFR is only its
American Arm.
The European arm of this Western axis of evil is buried in other similar institutional forums of the enormously wealthy,
such as the annual Bilderbergers meeting, the RIIA British parent-arm of the American CFR, etc. This two-minute
documentary clip showing Vice President Dick Cheney speaking at the CFR reveals the role of institutional money-bags like David Rockefeller in influencing/manufacturing
global policies quite unbeknownst to the affected public.
The long-term solution to preempt such devious modus operandi of “eroding it piece by piece” was farsightedly outlined by Griffin in 1977 – if only anyone was paying attention at the time – and is reproduced in
Excerpt-3 below. Its item seven is of monumental interest to concerned citizens as it endeavors to eliminate the largest
motivator behind wars, behind globalism, behind internationalism, by attacking their main financial lever which enables
it all through the deceptive oligarchic control of their nation's money supply.
The cycle of wars and profit which is largely responsible for creating such massive wealth consolidations in the first
place that creates the lever, was even noted by the highly decorated American war hero of WWI, Major General Smedley
Butler, in his famous booklet “War is a Racket”.
It would appear however, that the solution-space of international “balance of terror” outlined by Project Humanbeingsfirst in its Press Release “The Only Solution to Avoid Total War May 15, 2008” may be a bit more efficacious in the immediate short term in order to gain valuable time at this late stage of the
cancer. If the patient is bleeding to death, there is hardly any time left to cure the systemic disease! Apparently, the
post-communist Russia feels the same way, judging by their markedly calculated response to Georgia's premeditated
provocation in distinct contrast to USSR's intervention in Afghanistan, as noted in Project Humanbeingsfirst's reports:
“Georgia-Russia: It's a Classic Brzezinski Project!” and “Hegemony is as old as mankind!”.
The Enduring Conspiracy for World Government
Some may rationally ponder that how is it, that such a long running global conspiracy can be kept alive across centuries
and across geographies.
Noam Chomsky had once observed an insightful nature of such “conspiracies", as the open shared natural goals stemming
from the very nature of its definition, which could therefore, no more be termed a conspiracy than both GM and Ford
endeavoring to maximize their profits at all cost be termed a 'global corporate conspiracy'.
I have always added to that, the equally un-remarkable observation that a hungry lion anywhere in the world pouncing
upon a lamb is similarly no global conspiracy by the world's lions to eat up all the lambs on the planet. That is just
the nature of the bestial predators when its “might defines right”. The only thing that occasionally deters such primacy
is a collective natural response like the one observed in the “Battle at Kruger” park.
Indeed, the concepts of “right or wrong”, “moral and immoral”, do not even exist among any primal predators, for one
only behaves according to one's nature. Such platitudes, if they could be argued by the lion or the snake for instance,
would in fact surely be greatly disseminated to the lambs and the mice to make them an even easier morsel to acquire!
Thus we observe that from Plato to Nietzsche, from the philosopher-king to the 'ubermensch', all have argued the
necessity of ruling upon the sheepish masses as the 'divine' imperative of the “enlightened ones”. Indeed, Zbigniew
Brzezinski even sub-titled his seminal book “The Grand Chessboard” with the egotistical “American Primacy and Its
Geostrategic Imperatives”, merely extending that idea of 'ubermensch' rule from the most “enlightened ones”, to the most
powerful sole-superpower!
The same theme exists among the “Chosen Peoples”, to deem their primacy upon the goyem their inherent nature, their
divine destiny. The 'ubermensch' are suckled these lessons in their mothers milk to acquire those imperatives across
generations in perhaps the same way as the generations of corporate executives and CEOs who inherently know that they
need to continually enhance the valuation of their company's stock performance in a capitalist system.
So when these 'divine' beings behave in their primal predatory natural manner across time and space, across evolution or
creation, are they being “conspiratorial”? In the Chomsky-Ebrahim nomenclature, perhaps not.
In the Ron Paul nomenclature, it is merely a shared “Conspiracy of Ideas”.
And an equally insightful and rational response to this question of long enduring conspiracy for world domination, is
provided by G. Edward Griffin in Excerpt-2:
“After a man has far more money than he possibly can spend for pleasures, what is left to excite him? For those with the
ruling class mentality, the answer is power – raw power over other human beings. Money can buy such power only to a
point, beyond that, politics is the sport, and world politics is the ultimate game.”
Thus Griffin had aptly noted: “The New World Order Is Not New”. It becomes a moot point what one might call this predatory behavior. The undeniable fact remains that world-government
has been a long historical passion – of both the powerful, as well as the poet-philosophers!
Indeed, it has been a long-held cherished dream of many a thinker and scholar – not just the financial ruling-elite –
going back to H.G. Wells' “New World Order” and Bertrand Russell's “Impact of Science on Society” in its more recent incarnations of early to mid 20th century.
And certainly it goes all the way back to at least poet laureate Alfred Lord Tennyson in the mid 19th century, to his
1842 amazingly prescient poem “Locksley Hall”.
This Tennyson poem has presciently, and very eloquently, captured the utopian single “universal law” giving
world-government – a single federation of the world at the planetary level – in order to eliminate all deadly wars and
squabbles among nation-states and peoples. Many throughout the ages have dismissed such righteous imagination of the
poet-philosophers as mere utopian fodder for science fiction and literature. But indeed, it has also fueled the
wet-dreams of the money-bags from the emperors of antiquity to the Rockefellers of modernity:
“For I dipt into the future far as human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world and the wonders that would be....
'Till the war-drum throbb'd no longer and the battle flags were furl'd
In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the world.
There the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in Awe,
That the kindly earth shall slumber, lapt in universal law.”
Both Lord Tennyson and H. G. Wells, surely only dreamed of a benign utopian planetary federation under a unified
world-government – unless I have missed an Orwellian twist to their articulations – like the federation that most of us
today in our mid-30s to mid-50s, grew up watching on the fictional 'Star Trek' television series on the scale of vast
galaxies!
And in his book “New World Order”, H. G. Wells even outlined a manifesto, the “Declaration of the Rights of Man” – a
very sensible, nay, morally very remarkable, 10-point seeding Articles for drafting a planetary level equitable 'social
contract' for all the peoples of the planet.
The visionary H. G. Wells honestly and passionately concluded:
“And if we, the virtuous democracies, are not fighting for these common human rights, then what in the name of the
nobility and gentry, the Crown and the Established Church, the City, The Times and the Army and Navy Club, are we common
British peoples fighting for?”
In Project Humanbeingsfirst's report “Re-Imagining Pakistan's Defenses – Open Letter to a Pakistani General” which imagines a 'New World Order' in Pakistan for “Saving Pakistan from Synthetic 'Terror Central'”, it is indeed the genuine spirit of “fighting for these common human rights” as the ab initio predicate, which H. G. Wells too, surely quite earnestly, must also have based his 10th Article of the
“Declaration of the Rights of Man” upon.
Quoted below, the enormously liberating force of Wells' 10th Article, is a far cry from the “Universal Declaration of
Human Rights” by the United Nations, as well as similar declarations in the newer EU Constitutional framework of Human
Rights. Wherein, there occurs a statement in each of the latter ones, whose real sense is the exact opposite, stripping
away Rights “inherent in mankind” under various 'doctrines of necessity' as deemed expedient by the State. And doing so mainly under the age-old pretext
of maintaining 'security'. Compare to H. G. Wells' version:
“No treaty and no law affecting these primary rights shall be binding upon any man or province or administrative division
of the community, that has not been made openly, by and with the active or tacit acquiescence of every adult citizen
concerned, either given by a direct majority vote of the community affected or through the majority vote of his publicly
elected representatives. In matters of collective behaviour it is by the majority decision men must abide. No
administration, under a pretext of urgency, convenience or the like, shall be entrusted with powers to create or further
define offences or set up by-laws, which will in any way infringe the rights and liberties here asserted. All
legislation must be public and definite. No secret treaties shall be binding on individuals, organisations or
communities. No orders in council or the like, which extend the application of a law, shall be permitted. There is no
source of law but the people, and since life flows on constantly to new citizens, no generation of the people can in
whole or in part surrender or delegate the legislative power inherent in mankind.” (New World Order – H. G. Wells' progressive version of this utopia)
It is in the above utopian context that the following frequently cited candid observation of H. G. Wells on the human
condition, appearing in the same book – which is almost always taken out of context by those who quote it without
actually reading the book – must be interpreted:
“When the struggle seems to be drifting defiantly towards a world social democracy there may still be very great delays
and disappointments before it becomes an efficient and beneficent world system. Countless people – will hate the New
World Order – and will die protesting against it. When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind the
distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and graceful-looking people.” (New World Order – H. G. Wells)
If H. G. Wells was a devious Orwellian character, there really would have been no reason for creating the inordinately
commonsensical, rational, fair, and very moral “Declaration of the Rights of Man” which immensely empower breaking all
bonds of voluntary servitude!
But regardless, both Tennyson and Wells, and all the benign utopians they might represent throughout the ages who have
shared in the lofty aspiration of world-government for all people's betterment rather than just the ruling elite's,
might actually be a bit dismayed today at how their dreams of centuries and millennia, for all of mankind united as a
single political microcosm equitably existing on planet earth, have been Orwellianlly hijacked.
The mechanisms for world-government which are presently rolling, and which anyone with even half a brain can easily
perceive, will forcibly spell the end of the well known concept of independent nation-states through much bloodshed
(that both Wells and Tennyson sought to avoid), and outright terminate any Charter of Human Rights that is not
Orwellian!
Thus we see that the words like “peace” and “justice” are continually bandied about as justification, but only in their
best Orwellian incantation, as in this 1975 statement by Henry Kissinger to the UN General Assembly:
“My country's history, Mr. President, tells us that it is possible to fashion unity while cherishing diversity, that
common action is possible despite the variety of races, interests, and beliefs we see here in this chamber. Progress and
peace and justice are attainable. So we say to all peoples and governments: Let us fashion together a new world order.”
Or as in this statement by Jimmy Carter during his 1976 Presidential campaign:
“We must replace balance of power politics with world order politics.”
Later on, as the President of the United States, in a February 14, 1977 speech, Jimmy Carter stated:
“I want to assure you that the relations of the United States with the other countries and peoples of the world will be
guided during my own Administration by our desire to shape a world order that is more responsive to human aspirations.
The United States will meet its obligation to help create a stable, just, and peaceful world order.”
The empirical evidence of course suggests otherwise. President Carter for instance, didn't shy from “giving to the USSR its Vietnam War” on another people's soil and in another people's blood, even winning for himself, but not for his mastermind strategist
who had made it all possible, the glamorously Orwellian, Nobel “Peace” Prize. The full dismantling of the theology
behind Carter's statement “We must replace balance of power politics with world order politics” has already been done in Project Humanbeingsfirst's report “From Balance of Terror to Unilateral Terror on the Grand Chessboard!”.
The present day New World Order of Lord Tennyson's “universal law”, is slated to be ruled by the kind of Orwellian 'law
givers' that could hardly have been imagined by Lord Tennyson, as the world manifestly descends into tyranny. Stalwartly
led today by the new harbingers of the 'utopian' dreams of many in history, “the first, only, and last truly global superpower” initially inflicts these dreams upon her own peoples! And it is also the final blueprint for the 'Rights' of all
'lesser' humanity as well!
This misanthropic path to humanity's enslavement is actually prognosticated in the prolific writings and philosophical
outlook of the most influential polymath of the 20th century, idolized by many a scholarly leftist peacenik, including
my own teacher Noam Chomsky at MIT. A poster of this man used to hang in Chomsky's office. The name of this misanthrope
who has somehow succeeded in commanding the reputation as “man of peace” and lover of the disenfranchised through his
“pugwash” and other “peace” efforts, is Bertrand Russell.
It is highly instructive to carefully examine Russell's perspectives on the New World Order – in his own words instead
of reading snippets of mostly out-of-context quotations on the internet as most are wont to do – from his insightful
book “Impact of Science on Society”.
Bertrand Russell very presciently, amorally, disgustingly to some, calculatingly to others as per the diktats of
rational “humanism” that is devoid of any religious-morality – and with the inevitability of any path taken to its
logical conclusion – outlines what is transpiring today. Especially what has transpired since the collapse of the Berlin
Wall, and which has rapidly accelerated since that infernal 'day of infamy' – the “new pearl harbor” – can all be
straightforwardly understood by reading Russell's book. This writing of Russell in the mid 20th century England, is
enormously in synchrony with that disclosed by G. Edward Griffin in Excerpt-2, of the infamous founder of the “Order of
the Illuminati” in Bavaria in the latter half of the 18th century:
“War has been, throughout history, the chief source of social cohesion; and since science began, it has been the
strongest incentive to technical progress. Large groups have a better chance of victory than small ones, and therefore
the usual result of war is to make States larger. In any given state of technique there is a limit to size. The Roman
Empire was stopped by German forests and African deserts; the British conquests in India were halted by the Himalayas;
the Napoleon was defeated by the Russian winter. And before the telegraph large empires tended to break up because they
could not be effectively controlled from a center.
Communications have been hitherto the chief factor limiting the size of empires. In antiquity the Persians and the
Romans depended upon roads, but since nothing traveled faster than a horse, empires became unmanageable when the
distance from the capital to the frontier was very great. This difficulty was diminished by railways and the telegraph,
and is on the point of disappearing with the improvement of the long-range bomber. There would now be no technical
difficulty about a single world-wide Empire. Since war is likely to become more destructive of human life than it has
been in recent centuries, unification under a single government is probably necessary unless we are to acquiesce in
either a return to barbarism or the extinction of the human race.
There is, it must be confessed, a psychological difficulty about a single world government. The chief source of social
cohesion in the past, I repeat, has been war: the passions that inspire feeling of unity are hate and fear. These depend
upon the existence of an enemy, actual or potential. It seems to follow that a world government could only be kept in
being by force, not by the spontaneous loyalty that now inspires a nation at war.”
Indeed, as misanthrope Russell succinctly observes, “the passions that inspire feeling of unity are hate and fear. These depend upon the existence of an enemy, actual or
potential”, and there “would now be no technical difficulty about a single world-wide Empire.”
And there of course, isn't any technical difficulty today. Especially with the barbaric “imperial mobilization” towards “Full Spectrum Dominance” – outlined in the Pentagon's strategy document Joint Vision 2020 and in PNAC's concept document “Rebuilding America's
Defenses” – with a trillion-dollar Congressionally appropriated defense budget every two years, and the inexplicable
disappearance of at least $2.4 trillion dollars from the Pentagon books reported just one day before 911. Zbigniew
Brzezinski wasn't being original at all in his book the 'Grand Chessboard' when he wrote that in the absence “of a sudden threat or challenge to the public's sense of domestic well-being”, and “except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat”, the American “democracy is inimical to imperial mobilization”!
It is highly instructive to scrutinize the rationale in Bertrand Russell's conception of a world-government, for it not
only mirrors the unfolding grotesque reality of today, but also appears to constitute its essential philosophical
underpinning to give it a veneer of 'scientific and political respectability'. It comes across straightforwardly in
Chapter 7 of the afore-cited book, where Russell answers the question that he himself poses: “Can a Scientific Society be Stable?”
In a nutshell, Russell suggests that only with birth-control and strategic population planning (including drastic
measures such as spreading of the “Black-Death” every few years), can mankind survive in a scientific world that is
marked with rising disparity among nations, each having their own strengths in good times, and weaknesses in bad ones.
And Russell therefore logically concludes that the only viable and equitable solution is the global one, a
world-government that can equitably distribute and share resources during troubled times! And he sums it up as “These considerations prove that a scientific society cannot be stable unless there is a world government.”
Ask any knowledgeable ruling elite today, and were they to candidly confide in you, this is the scientific reason they
will provide for their quest for world-government to mask their lust for conquest! This is also what comes across in
Zbigniew Brzezinski's 1970 classic “Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era”! He is backed by David Rockefeller who set up him up as the first Executive Director of the new CFR off-shoot, the
Trilateral Commission. It was David Rockefeller who enabled Brzezinski's role as the National Security Advisor to
President Jimmy Carter, and in all likelihood, also selected that unknown peanut farmer from among the many members of
CFR for that highest office. Rockefeller propelled an intellectual like Brzezinski into great prominence (while himself
staying in the background) because the latter was to enable the planning and execution of the elite's rise to
world-government finally in this “Technetronic Era”!
Today, some thirty odd years later, Brzezinski openly strategizes for one of the two 2008 American Presidential
candidates, and his own son does it for the other. Between the two – “elect” whomsoever you want! They both lead to the
Capitalist Conspiracy of world-government!
Finally, Bertrand Russell's most insightful logical observation in the quoted passage above is also the key to
understanding what is transpiring since 911 worldwide. The citizens worldwide losing their civil rights with new
draconian laws ostensibly enacted to protect them from the 'terrorists':
“There is, it must be confessed, a psychological difficulty about a single world government ... It seems to follow that a
world government could only be kept in being by force”.
Yes indeed, “only be kept in being by force”, especially when it is also not supposed to be benign for the vast majority of 'lesser' humanity. Bertrand Russell's
shrewd psychological insights match the descent into Police State in America.
This is the scholarly marriage of political philosophy and the Capitalist Conspiracy in the best mold of Machiavelli's
Prince, each at their very best! Imagining what's in store for the rest of the “subjects” doesn't take much imagination!
And if one is to believe the late great filmmaker Aaron Russo in “From Freedom to Fascism”, the Rockefellers – a clan representative of the financial and other enormously wealthy elite – have it all worked out
to misanthropically herd the sheep of the planet to their destiny!
So is there an enduring Capitalist Conspiracy for world government? You be the judge!
And if your answer is yes, then your next quest must be to find out if you can survive it!
Excerpt 1
Title: The Capitalist Conspiracy: An Inside View of International Banking
Conspiracy, one of the darkest words in the language of man. Yet there is hardly a single page of history that doesn't
partially reveal the deadly eye of conspiracy at work.
It was a conspiracy that directed Brutus against Caesar in the Roman Senate on the Ides of March.
It was a conspiracy that plotted the betrayal of West Point by Benedict Arnold during the American Revolution.
It was a conspiracy that led John Wilkes Booth to the assassination of President Lincoln on Good Friday 1865.
The past record of man is burdened with accounts of assassinations, secret combines, palace plots, and betrayals in war.
The tentative conspiracy has been a dominant force in all history. But in spite of this clear record, an amazing number
of people have began to scoff at the possibility of conspiracy at work today. They dismiss such an idea, merely as a
“conspiratorial view” of history. (1:03)
The purpose of this presentation is to show that the conspiratorial view of history, particularly of recent history is
the correct view. ... (47 minutes)

Title: The New World Order Is Not New
9 minutes
(Slide: The New World Order Is Not New)
The purpose of this presentation is to show that the conspiratorial view of history, particularly of recent history is
the correct view. That there is a secret and powerful combine at work today; that it constitutes the unseen government
of the United States; and that it properly can be identified, as, The Capitalist Conspiracy!
During the past 200 years, while the peoples of the world, gradually, were winning their political freedom from
monarchies, the major banking families of the world, were nullifying the trend toward representative government, by
setting up new dynasties of political control. But behind the scenes, in the form of international financial Combines.
These banking dynasties had learned that all governments, whether they be monarchies or democracies, must borrow money
in times of emergency. And that by providing such funds from their own private resources, with strings attached of
course, gradually, they could bring both kings and democratic leaders, under their control. (01:14)
Dr. Quigley believes that people should be more familiar with the identities of these clever banking dynasties. They
include such names as Barring, Hambros, Lazzard, Erlanger, Warburg, Schroder, Selingman, The Speyers, Mirabauld, Mallet,
Fould, Rothschild, & Morgan.
It should be noted that while the Rothschilds and other Jewish families cooperated together in these ventures, this was
by no means a Jewish monopoly as some have alleged. Men of finance of many nationalities and many religious and
non-religious backgrounds, collaborated together to create this super-structure of hidden power.
Its essence was not race nor religion nor nationality. It was simply a passion for control over other human beings.
(2:05)
The net effect is to create money out of nothing. Lend it to the government, and then collect interest on it. A rather
profitable transaction, to say the least.
For example, in 1694, International Banker, William Patterson, obtained the charter of the Bank of England, and the
power over England's money system fell into private hands.
In a boastful mood, Patterson said: “The bank hath benefit of interest of all monies which it creates out of nothing.”
230 years later, Reginald McKenna, British Chancellor of the Exchequer, said: “The banks can, and do, create money; and
they who control the credit of the nation, direct the policy of governments, and hold in the hollow of their hands, the
destiny of the people.”
In the United States, it was inevitable that the international banking interests, would attempt to establish the same
kind of private monopoly over the money system, that they had achieved in England, France, Germany, Italy, and
Switzerland. (03:10)
The same formula would be used: make it look like a government operation, but keep the control in private hands.
John D Rockefeller had purchased the Chase Bank, and his brother William, bought the National City Bank of New York. The
Rockefeller Chase Bank was later merged with Warburg's Manhattan Bank, to form the Chase Manhattan, one of the most
powerful financial combines in the world today!
Acting in concert with the Morgan Banking dynasty, they spent untold millions of dollars to promote legislation that
would grant to them, a private franchise over this nation's money system.
To sell this scheme to the voters, the monopolists created the propaganda line, that the proposed banking law some how
would work against the monopolies. Politicians took up the cry "banking reform", and "down with Wall Street".
And then, to make it look convincing, the financial tycoons publicly pretended to oppose the measure, all the while
financing it behind the scenes. (04:12)
On December 22, 1913, the Federal Reserve Act, finally was passed into law. Something known as the Federal Reserve
System came into being, and with it, total control over the nation's money, fell into private hands!
The CFR from behind the scenes has dominated this nation for decades.
CFR members include top executives and journalists for the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Chicago Daily News,
Harpers, Look, Time, Life, Newsweek, US News and World Report, CBS, NBC, MGM.
They include directors of the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Carnegie Endowment Fund.
They include Presidents Hoover, Eisenhower, Johnson and Nixon; Secretaries of States Titinius, Acheson, Dulles, Hurder,
and Rusk; a fantastic percentage of the President's Cabinet, Under Secretaries, the Federal Reserve Board, Ambassadors
to other countries, Supreme Court Justices, and presidential advisors.
The average American has never heard of the CFR. Yet it is, the unseen Government of the United States. (05:25)
After a man has far more money than he possibly can spend for pleasures, what is left to excite him? For those with the
ruling class mentality, the answer is power – raw power over other human beings. Money can buy such power only to a
point, beyond that, politics is the sport, and world politics is the ultimate game.
These men are striving to create a world super-state, with the expectation that from behind the scenes, they will be the
ones who will rule. Not free enterprise capitalism, but big government is the conspiracy's life force.
World government is its ultimate goal.
But what is the best way to sell big government, and then world government, to a people like ours, historically devoted
to an independent republic of limited powers?
The answer is simple. Deliberately create problems. And then offer only those solutions that result in the expansion of
government. Create conditions so frightful at home and abroad, that the abandonment of personal liberties and national sovereignty,
will appear as a reasonable price for a return to domestic tranquility and world peace. (06:40)
If those who seek world dominion can stimulate leftist mobs into violent confrontation with local law enforcement, and
also provide exhaustive news coverage, so that the entire nation can see and tremble, then the peaceful and freedom
loving majority can be programmed to accept a vast expansion of government powers, and even a national police force,
offered supposedly to end the violence.
If those who seek world dominion can raise the spectre of an enemy, armed to the teeth with superior atomic weapons on
the verge of launching a nuclear holocaust, and also offer world-government as the prevention, then millions of
Americans can be programmed to accept the loss of national sovereignty, as our last best hope for peace.
This is the meaning of pressure from above and below. To put over police state measures at home, they need chaos, crime,
and anarchy in the streets. To sell the idea of world-government, they need the constant threat of nuclear war! (7:44)
In Bavaria, the year 1786, acting on a tip from an informer, police raided the home of a prominent attorney named
Vanswack. They seized documents and letters revealing that he was a high ranking member of an extensive conspiracy
called “The Order of The Illuminati”.
Over the centuries, forms of the word “Illuminati”, meaning the enlightened ones, have been used by many secret sects
and occult organizations. Most prominent among these, were the Illumbrados of Spain, Guerinets of France, and the
Roshaniya of Afghanistan.
But these were concerned primarily with psychological and spiritual objectives, a proclaimed inner wisdom, and
mind-mastery of the secrets of the universe.
The conspiracy exposed in Bavaria was of an entirely different order. (08:36)
The Illuminati was founded on May 1, 1776, by Adam Wiesop, a Professor at Inglestaff University. Wiesop obviously had
been a serious student of the occult, for many of its bizarre features and symbols were incorporated into his
organization.
The destruction of all religion, replaced by the worship of reason or humanism, and the destruction of all independent
governments, replaced by a new world order, a world government, ruled from behind the scenes by the illuminated ones!

The Capitalist Conspiracy – Conclusion
5 minutes
(Slide Conclusion/Summary)
Conspiracy as it operates at the highest level in the United States today, rests upon two solid foundations, and enjoys
the protection of shelter. If we could knock out its foundations, it would collapse. And if we could strip away its
shelter, it would wither away and die.
The shelter is secrecy. The foundations are big government, and manipulation of money!
No conspiracy can stand the light of exposure. No conspiracy can rule the masses without the tool of an extensive
government bureaucracy. And certainly no capitalist conspiracy can long survive without control over the nation's money.
Expose the conspiracy, reduce the size of government, return our money to a standard that cannot be manipulated. This
must be our response. (0:57)
In the limited time available, we have attempted to demonstrate that the conspiratorial view of history, particularly of
recent history, is the correct view.
Let us summarize now, seven major conclusions.
One: There is and has been for some time, a conspiracy among some of the richest people in the world. A conspiracy that
virtually owns the money systems of the major non-communist nations. This monopoly is protected by the power of the
respective governments. And is used to perpetuate the conspiracy's vast wealth, by the creation of money out of nothing.
Two: In the United States, this monetary fraud is perpetuated through the Federal Reserve System. Although the Executive
Branch theoretically has some control over this system through occasional appointments, in reality, it is the system and
those behind it, who control the Executive Branch. (1:55)
Three: The Capitalist Conspiracy, in this country, surfaces to public view, in the form of the semi-secret, Council on
Foreign Relations. Its members exercise their control over the nation, through government, tax-exempt foundations,
centers of education, and the mass communications media.
Four: On the surface, the Capitalist Conspiracy appears to oppose Communism. It spends billions of dollars in
spectacular military displays of anti-communism all around the world. But never to the extent of seriously harming the
enemy, and certainly not to the extent of defeating it. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the Conspiracy always has
nourished and aided Communism both at home, and abroad. It does this not because it is pro-communist, but because it
needs the appearance of a formidable foe, and the chaos by-product of a managed conflict, to advance its own goal of
totalitarian world-government. (03:01)
Five: There is much evidence indicating that the capitalist and communist conspiracies both are directed by a single
master conspiracy which may have continuity with 'The Order of the Illuminati', which was founded 200 years ago. But
this historical question is not nearly as important as the immediate question of what can be done about it today.
Six: As for our response, we must begin to dismantle the conspiracy's machine of big government. ... (4:05)
Seven: We must reduce the Federal Reserve System to a service function of clearing checks between banks only. Merely
turning the system as it stands over to the Federal government, as some have suggested, will not solve the problem. The
same people would control it either way. The root of the evil is that money is created out of nothing. And the insiders
could do that today just as easily directly through government, as they do through the Federal Reserve System. The
ultimate solution is to prevent anyone, in or out of government, from manipulating the money supply! ... (4:47)
Eight: We must expose the conspiracy to public view. If some how, every American could be made aware of the facts
contained in this presentation, if it were possible to circumvent the establishment's channels of mass communication,
and carry this message person to person to our friends and neighbors and fellow club members, the conspiracy would
collapse like a house of cards.
Yes the hour is late. But it is not too late if we are realistic in our efforts.
As Americans we can still speak-out without fear of imprisonment.
We can still join together into patriotic groups to multiply our effectiveness.
We can still challenge the establishment's candidates.
We still retain that remnant of power to regain control of own government. (5:38)
