Part 1:Treason the New World Order....Introduction....Freedom is Being Lost ....The Secret Government

Treason 

the New World Order 

by Gurudas

Preface 

I originally was drawn to write this book because of my years of involvement in alternative health. In the 1980s I founded and later sold Pegasus Products, Inc. a firm that produces and distributes flower essences, gem elixirs, and homeopathic remedies. I was also a health practitioner for some years and have written four books on alternative health. FDA abuses have become the norm, and gradually I came to understand how dangerous the federal government has become to our freedoms. 

My purpose in writing this book is to awaken more people to the fact that these are very dangerous times for America. More and more of the rights we take for granted are being lost. Too many politicians have sold out to the special interests, and most people are too busy watching TV to notice or take responsibility for what is happening. In the name of stopping illegal drugs and crime our rights are gradually being forfeited, as the federal government tightens control over the people. 

I have also written this book so that people can more easily look at the whole picture. I have focused my research on extracting information from hundreds of books, newspapers, and magazines so that people can more easily understand what is taking place in America. Some might say that several stories of government abuse that are heard in one part of the country don't appear too threatening. Yet when you look at many different incidents all across the country and grasp the full picture it is clear that something is very wrong.

Chapter I 

Introduction 

“In our country the lie has become not just a moral category, but a pillar of the state.” 

-Alexander Solzhenitsyn- 

“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God—I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death?” 

-Patrick Henry- 

America today exists in a twilight zone, not a democracy or a Republic but not yet a police state. America has become an elitist corporate oligarchy. We as a people clearly do not have the freedoms that the Founding Fathers had and that they envisioned for future generations. The many cases of government abuse described in this book are no longer rare or unique, they are increasingly the norm. Especially since the late 1960s, numerous American political activists have been murdered, maimed, framed, kidnapped, bombed, and spied on by government agents. We now have camouflaged police that look like terrorists, undercover police in the schools, curfews, roadblocks, urine tests, and informer networks. Government terrorism against the people continues to grow. 

While I discuss the secret, or invisible government, that controls America, I also show how society is changing as the new world order dictatorship gradually takes hold. The cultural, economic, social, and political trends that are creating the new world order are discussed in detail. Over many years the large corporations have taken control of our society, and we are all worse off because of this. In the 1930s the banking/corporate elite attempted to establish a dictatorship while their agent Roosevelt was in power. Now, with an out-of-control intelligence community, the situation is more dangerous. Presidential edicts establish secret laws, while Congress has little say as federal power grows. The dictatorship of the new world order would be much worse than Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, because the technology to control people is much more advanced today. The U.S. News & World Report was quite accurate to present an article on North Korea with a caption under a photo entitled new world order. 1 That type of extreme control is what awaits America. 

Historians have shown that one reason Hitler took control in Germany was because people were too busy with their own personal and professional lives to get involved in politics. Many felt that if Hitler took power he would become a good German because his advisors would control him. By the time people awoke, it was too late. A former Berlin businessman “blamed his own group, people with the time and money and the opportunity to know better, for what happened to Germany. We ignored Hitler. We considered him an unimportant fellow....We considered it just a bit vulgar to bother with him, to bother with politics at all.” 2 

In certain respects America today is like Germany in the 1930s. In the later days of the Weimar government, key leaders were assassinated just as in America. George McGovern said, as in the Weimar period many people today are angry and distrust the government. 3 As happened in Germany we have turned away from our Constitution. Hitler introduced gun control just as is happening today. Our 1968 gun control law is taken almost word for word from the 1938 German gun control law. As in Germany there are people in America today trying to warn the public that we face a disastrous turn away from our heritage if the people don't wake up. Germany had a developed culture, so the people did not believe the warnings. In America we have a democratic heritage and people are uneducated as to what is happening to our society partly because of a corporate-controlled press. Most people quietly go about their professional and personal lives not understanding that our way of life is gravely threatened by the coming new world order. 

Many readers will read this material and think it foolish to say a dictatorship is coming. Unfortunately, that cavalier attitude is one reason why a Republic can be lost. Daniel Webster said: “God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.” If every one sits back complacently who will protect the Republic? Edmund Burke said, “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” Many issues discussed in this book are ignored by the national press. People need to get more involved and study what is really happening in America. Newsweek published a letter from someone after the congressional Ruby Ridge hearings who said: “It concerns me that people I had believed to be paranoid extremists and lunatics may actually have a point.” 4 

When decent people are confronted by evil, it can be difficult for them to accept it. This is one reason why people find it difficult to accept conspiracies. A few years ago the Texas Attorney General visited the place where people had been sacrificed in satanic rituals. On national television, this official said he wouldn't believe it except that he had seen it. In World War II after the Soviet army captured Treblinka, one of the first major death camps to be overrun, Western reporters were brought in. They reported the gas chambers and mass killings to the West, but it wasn't initially believed. It was considered to be anti-Nazi propaganda because supposedly even the Nazis couldn't kill people like cattle. Indeed, normal people have a right to ask why should people so thirst for money and power. It can be a sickness that decent people cannot understand. 

Some people who hear this information laugh or get very upset because it disturbs their perception of reality. If you only get news from the national media, this book will be quite shocking. The truth is so scary that many people don't want to confront it. Patrick Henry said: “It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth....For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst; and to provide for it.” 

In recent years millions of Americans have learned that special interest groups now control the political process and own this country. Various banking groups and business leaders, along with rogue elements in the military and intelligence communities behind the scenes, are the dominant special interest group in America. Many politicians are controlled by these people, sometimes without politicians even realizing it. With great power, unlimited funds, occasional threats, and  numerous contacts, this elite force secretly controls many special interest groups which actually serve as front organizations. Second, just as many politicians have sold out to special interest groups, there is today in America a systematic avoidance, distortion, and suppression of news in the national media, which today is controlled by a handful of bankers and corporations allied to this corporate elite. While I often refer to corporations in this book, behind the large corporations are large banks. David M. Kotz said banks generally control the large U.S. corporations by exerting outside pressure, placing their representatives on the board of directors, or through stock ownership. 5 

One doesn't have to believe in the power of the banking groups to understand that a dictatorship is coming. The bankers and corporate elite in hundreds of books, articles, and speeches openly write of their plans to disarm the U.S. military and end our sovereignty, while creating a one world government led by the UN with a powerful new army. Much of this literature is discussed in this book. Consider the actions of the UN, various U.S. government agencies, current laws, and how they are being enforced against the people. Numerous presidential edicts often nullify the Constitution. 

One of the scary things about this book is that much of the material contained here was obtained from reading various newspapers and magazines or by just watching television. Many of the things discussed in this book accurately portray in frightening detail a growing trend towards the future society depicted in Brave New World by Huxley and 1984 by Orwell. In December, 1978 in The Futurist, David Goodman listed 137 predictions made by George Orwell. Over 100 of them had already come true. Goodman said: “The possibility of Orwell's 1984 becoming reality...is clear....Though 1984 has failed as a warning, it has been succeeding brilliantly as a forecast.” In recent years, especially in doing the research for this book, I have noticed over and over again people asking “How could this happen in America?” It will keep on happening, unless we the people take back the government. 

In recent years the press has released much shocking information. If I had written a book years ago just listing the many exposes released in shows like 60 Minutes on how the government has abused its citizens, few people would have believed such things could happen in America! If I had written several years ago that thousands of Americans had been secretly exposed to radiation, including even plutonium, without their knowledge or consent and that some of these people were pregnant, who would have believed this. When this was reported in late 1993, some said this only occurred in dictatorships like the former Soviet Union. It is time to understand that, in many respects, we are already living in a dictatorship. It is just very sophisticated. As Rousseau said: “There is no subjugation so perfect as that which keeps the appearance of freedom, for in that way one captures volition itself.” When you control what people think, without people even realizing this is being done, it is possible to control and transform a society without using force. We are all blinded by propaganda. 

Over 400,000 people have had their assets forfeited, the majority without even being accused of a crime. Many lose their properly after they are found innocent of a crime. Your assets are guilty until proven innocent. No free society would allow such laws. Prosecutors openly harass criminal attorneys, and there is increasingly harsh anti-crime legislation with an attempt to remove guns from the people in the phony war on drugs. Law enforcement agencies act with increased aggressiveness against all citizens. 6 The traditional rights of a juror have been greatly weakened, while surveillance cameras are becoming common. Millions of Americans were exposed to open air nuclear tests which the government said were quite safe knowing this was a lie. America today has one of the largest prison populations in the world, and all signs indicate that population will greatly expand in the next few years, with many new prisons now being built. 

The contents of this book may be new to many. However, Americans increasingly understand the vast treason and corruption now taking place. It is just that the national media will rarely discuss these issues, or they are discussed in a very biased manner, so many readers will not appreciate how widespread is the discussion and understanding of these problems. What if the information in this book is true? What if only part of it is true? Isn't it time to stop blindly believing the propaganda we are fed in the national media, ignoring politics or just pressing the lever at the polling station concluding that you have fulfilled your responsibility as a citizen. The present dangerous state of affairs has taken place partly because we as citizens have shirked our responsibilities. We must all get involved in the political process if we are to reverse the overwhelming power of the federal government and Wall Street. 

Last year I listened to a conservative radio announcer attack the conspiracy views of the Christie Institute and The Secret Government by Bill Moyer. What the announcer didn't add is that many on the right also strongly attack the national security apparatus and the hidden power of the banking groups. Pat Robertson in the New World Order is not the only conservative attacking these forces. When Pat Robertson and Bill Moyers can agree that our nation is today threatened by certain internal forces, this is one more sign that people should take a closer look at what is happening today. Over the months I read and found relevant information in conservative publications, such as The American Spectator and the National Review, and in progressive publications, such as Z Magazine and In These Times. This book is not meant to be liberal or conservative; it is meant to support restoring constitutional government. 

Across the political spectrum there are voices trying to warn the people that the country is gravely threatened. Some, like Gore Vidal, Stewart Udall, and Bill Moyers, talk about the nefarious activities of the national security state. Noam Chomsky describes the one world government in various books and articles. Others, like Buckminister Fuller in Critical Path, present a broad history of how the invisible corporate government has long controlled and manipulated the people. People like William Domhoff and C. Wright Mills describe the elite that have long ruled America from behind the scenes. Barry Goldwater and Pat Robertson describe the dangerous activities of certain bank controlled groups. Christopher Lasch and Gerry Spence feel our constitutional form of government has been seriously weakened by the corporate elite. 

All these people say there are powerful groups threatening our way of life. Some sources identify the bankers and corporate elite as the source of our problems, while others feel the national security state is the threat. The power of Wall Street is now obvious to many. So much is happening today that it is increasingly clear a police state is no longer some distant event to fear. The American people must awaken and join together to restore constitutional government and diminish the power of the large corporations and their agent, the federal government, so that we can again be a free people.

Chapter II 

Freedom Is Being Lost 

“The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.” 

-John Adams-

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights....When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” 

-Declaration of Independence- 

Right from the founding of the Republic, the people have been controlled and ruled by an elite group of wealthy people. As students of the Constitution are well aware, the constitutional convention was conducted by men of means, determined to protect themselves and their class from the people. This is why the Senate and president were elected by separate representatives to protect society from dangerous democratic impulses. Alexander Hamilton said: “It is admitted that you cannot have a good executive upon a democratic plan....The people, sir, are a great beast.” John Quincy Adams said: the framers of the Constitution did not profess to be “slavish adorers of our sovereign lords the people.” Most who attended the constitutional convention feared and distrusted the political involvement of the people. Some, like Benjamin Franklin, initially disliked the Constitution believing it cheated the people. 

While the constitutional convention was held because of dissatisfaction with the Articles of Confederation, the greater inspiration was the growing Shays Rebellion. Farmers and townspeople were revolting against the increased tax burden and political repression by the ruling elite. “It is clear that Shays rebellion played an integral part of the genesis and formation of the U.S. Constitution.” 1 James Madison said this rebellion “contributed more to that uneasiness which produced the Convention...than those...from the inadequacy of the Confederation.” Delegates at the convention wanted a strong central government to weaken the local power of the common people and to promote commerce. John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, said: “The people who own the country ought to govern it.” The intention was to establish the rule of law, not the rule of the common people. 2 

The Constitution established America as a Republic, not a democracy. James Madison said: “The two great points of difference between a democracy and a Republic are the delegation of the government in the latter, to a small number of citizens elected by the rest; secondly, the greater number of citizens and greater sphere of country over which the latter may be extended.” In 1828 Noah Webster's Dictionary defined a Republic as “A commonwealth: a state in which the exercise of the sovereign power is lodged in representatives elected by the people. In modern usage, it differs from a democracy or democratic state in which the people exercise the powers of sovereignty in person.” 

In a Republic the rights of all citizens are protected; in a democracy there is a danger of tyranny from the majority. A Republic exists under the rule of law, while a democracy is threatened by tyranny from the majority. Tocqueville said: “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess from the public treasure. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy collapses over loose fiscal policy...always followed by a dictatorship.” We have a limited democracy, in that the people are today allowed to directly elect members of Congress and to serve as jurors and on a grand jury. However, those who today think we are a democracy, not a Republic, should remember that the “Pledge of Allegiance” is to the Republic, not to the democracy. The word democracy isn't even in the Constitution. 

Last year I heard a radio speech by a president from the early 1920s. He called America a Republic; this was the first time I had heard a politician use this word to describe America. Today, as the people's rights are being replaced by false external trappings, we are constantly assured that America is a democracy. Before the New Deal, America was rarely referred to as a democracy. The Constitution, in Article IV, Section 4, says: “The U.S. shall guarantee in every State in this Union a Republican form of government....” 

Many people were aware that the new Constitution was prepared by the ruling elite. This is partly why many felt the constitutional convention had gone too far. In Rhode Island, where small farmers controlled state politics, the proposed Constitution was passed out to the people and, unlike in other states, they were allowed to directly vote on it. The result was 237 for and 2,708 against the Constitution. Two states rejected the Constitution, and intense pressure including secrecy and deceit were used to ratify it. Delegates to the Pennsylvania legislature were dragged to the assembly by a mob and forced to vote. In most states the Constitution was approved because the state legislatures were from the ruling class. The Federalist Papers were written to ease the concerns of many, and some states ratified the Constitution with the understanding that a Bill of Rights would be added. 

The Bill of Rights was not originally in the Constitution, partly because the delegates were not overly interested in protecting the people's right, and the federal government was to have very limited powers, so many felt it wasn't needed. Pennsylvania delegate James Wilson said there was no need for a federal Bill of Rights because the new federal government would only have the powers expressly delegated to it. Many felt that state sovereignty and each state's Bill of Rights would be sufficient to protect the people, because governing would mainly be done by state and local authorities. 

The difference between people today and those in the Revolutionary War is that then the average person understood they were trading rule by England for rule by the moneyed interests. And the people weren't always willing to accept this new rule. This is partly why the Shays and Whisky rebellions took place. Taxes  were only part of the problem, despite what historians claim. In contrast, today there is a myth that America is a democracy and there is no ruling elite, and until recently people have not been willing to defend their rights. In the 1930s the oppressive actions of the federal government would have caused riots in most cities if the people had been as determined as our forefathers to defend their rights. 

The myth that America is a real democracy has existed for many years, partly because the people have enjoyed certain rights lacking in most nations. At the turn of the last century, Brooks Adams said the choice of the ruling class was to coerce or bribe the majority. Now the federal government is owned by the large corporations, and our rights are increasingly vanishing. Adam Smith in the Wealth of Nations warned that throughout history there are always forces attempting to control the people to gain increased wealth and power. Smith said governments must act to control these forces or there would be dreadful consequences. Smith identified the “merchants and manufacturers” as the “principle architects” of government policies that brought great harm to the English people. Max Weber warned: “The question is how are freedom and democracy in the long run possible at all under the domination of highly developed capitalism? Freedom and democracy are only possible where the resolute will of a nation not to allow itself to be ruled like sheep is permanently alive.” 

That so few people today participate in the political process is cause for great concern. Not only is there a vacuum in political leadership, but that void is being filled by a corporate elite with the ready approval of a controlled press. James Q. Wilson, past president of the American Political Science Association, said: “Elections have become less important, because the real policy-making is now done by courts, bureaucracies and legislatures operated by an ambitious political class with very little orientation towards public preferences.” These people represent their own interests, not that of the people. 3 The very legitimacy of government is now at stake with so few people voting. People understand that they are no longer part of the decision-making process. 

In the 20th century many people have discussed the ruling elite. Gaetano Mosca said: “All political regimes are of necessity ruled by...an organized minority controlling a disorganized majority....The first class, always the less numerous, performs all political functions, monopolizes power and enjoys the advantages that power brings, whereas the second, the more numerous class, is directed and controlled by the first, in a manner that is now more or less legal, now more or less arbitrary and violent.” Noam Chomsky said in America “the specialized class are offered the opportunity to manage public affairs by virtue of their subordination to those with real power in our societies, dominant business interests....These ideas...have an unmistakable resemblance to the Leninist concept of a vanguard party that leads the masses to a better life that they cannot conceive or construct on their own....” Lippmann's specialized class and Lenin's vanguard of revolutionary intellectuals will lead the way to a better society, however many must be sacrificed along the way. 4 

Supposedly there must be the manufacture of consent because the elite cannot trust public opinion because only certain capable people can manage society. Harold Lasswell said when elites cannot use force to compel obedience, social managers must turn to “a whole new technique of control, largely through propaganda.” We must acknowledge “the ignorance and stupidity (of)...the masses” and not succumb to “democratic dogmatism about men being the best judges of their own interests.” 

These doctrines “and others are entirely natural in any society in which power is narrowly concentrated but formal mechanisms exist by which ordinary people may, in theory, play some role in shaping their own affairs—a threat that plainly must be barred.” America does have more freedom for the people than in other western societies “so the ignorant and stupid masses are more dangerous....As the state loses the capacity to control the population by force, privileged sectors must find other methods to ensure that the rascal multitude is removed from the public arena.” The people “can be permitted, even encouraged, to ratify the decisions of their betters in periodic elections.” 5 

Gerry Spence, one of America's most respected criminal lawyers, said: “In this country we embrace the myth that we are still a democracy when we know that we are not a democracy, that we are not free, that the government does not serve us but subjugates us. Although we give lip service to the notion of freedom, we know the government is no longer the servant of the people but, at last, has become the people's master...for the ultimate enemy of any people is not the angry hate groups that fester within, but a government itself that has lost its respect for the individual. The ultimate enemy of democracy is not the drug dealer or the crooked politician or the crazed skinhead. The ultimate enemy is the New King that has become so powerful it can murder its own citizens with impunity.”6 

“A new tyranny has cast its cold and ugly shadow over the nation, a nation where the rights of the people, criminals, and citizens alike exist mostly in myth, where the police have become the handmaidens of power, where trials have become mere window dressing and mockeries of justice, and where the corporations are left free to pillage and ravage the people with utter impunity....Entrapped in our concrete reservations, indentured to our corporate masters, impoverished of our land, separated from the earth, and at last placed at odds with nature herself, many no longer see the issue of freedom as relevant.”7 

“It is a tyranny supported by the people...,one that enslaves the people while it convinces the people they are free....We have delivered our power to our oppressors in exchange for their promise that we will be safe....We have accepted the myths of freedom as fact in the place of freedom itself. We love our servitude. But why not? It often feels as good as freedom and we can enjoy it without the risk that always accompanies the struggle for freedom.” 8 Too many Americans are willing to give up their freedom to feel safe. We speak about our rights as long as we don't have to sacrifice for them. We are free as long as we don't too vehemently express our beliefs. Then we may be labeled a political activist, terrorist, or racist and paranoid extremist and may be harassed by the police. 

William Greider said: “The decayed condition of American democracy is difficult to grasp....Symptoms of distress are accumulating freely in the political system and citizens are demoralized by the lack of coherent remedies....The things that Americans were taught and still wish to believe about self-government—the articles of civic faith we loosely call democracy—no longer seem to fit the present reality...American democracy is in much deeper trouble than most people wish to acknowledge. Citizens are cut out of politics surrounding the most important governing questions. The representative system has undergone a grotesque distortion of its original purpose.” Instead of a real democracy, we get false promises and many new laws. The corporations control both political parties, and the people have become powerless in the political process. The elite decision makers are too cut off from the people to really understand or represent the people. “The mutual understanding between citizens and government necessary for genuine democracy is now deformed or neglected....A genuine democracy will not likely develop until the two realms are reconciled—the irregular citizens and the formal structure of power....Modern representation has assumed a different purpose—taking care of clients, not the larger public interest.” 9 

According to Ferdinand Lundberg, “The general public in most instances is completely helpless because it is disorganized and very much at odds within itself—lacking knowledge, single-minded leadership and staying power. The national public must at all times also deal with many local and personal problems. It is, therefore, always easily defeated by determined entrenched interests.” 10 

Lewis Lapham said: “In the name of making the world safe for democracy, the United States revised its own democratic traditions and constitutional principles. By presidential fiat and Defense Department decree, the newly appointed guarantors of the world's peace suppressed the turbulent and newly un-American habits of free speech....The government learned to define freedom as freedom for the state, not for the citizens. The national interest became the parochial interest of the ruling class, not the multifarious interests of the individuals subsumed under the rubric of 'the American people.' The question was one of how a government by the judicious few could best control and improve the instincts of the foolish many.”11 

“The Constitution was made for the uses of the individual...and the institutions of American government were meant to support the liberties of the people, not the ambitions of the state. It was the law that had to give way to the citizen's freedom of thought and action, not the citizen's freedom of thought and action that had to give way to the law.” Today, “the government reserves to itself unenumerated powers and seeks to limit the freedoms of the individual to a list of enumerated rights. The increasingly punitive uses and interpretations of the law support the ambitions of the state, not the liberties of the people.” 12 Gore Vidal said: “Political decadence occurs when the forms that a state pretends to observe are known to be empty of all meaning. Who does not publicly worship the Constitution? Who, in practice, observes it at all? Congress has only two great powers under the Constitution: the power to declare war and the power of the purse.” 13 Both have been largely lost to the national security state and the corporations. 

As Charles Beard demonstrated in Economic Basis of Politics, our Constitution is firmly based on private economic interests. The Framers saw their task as preserving liberty, but they also wanted to protect property rights as basic to liberty. Widespread ownership of land gave people an economic stake in their freedom and in the system. The Founders were concerned with property rights and abstract rights because they wanted to protect “the real rights of real people.” The Founders felt that along with a separation of powers in society, if a Republic was based on commerce and industry, it would be easier to prevent a tyranny of the majority. And it would be easier to achieve material gain in such a Republic, so the people would be more satisfied. 14 

However, increased use of maritime or commercial law has encroached upon constitutional and common law. Corporations attained rights but not the responsibilities of citizens. Corporate welfare became more important than citizen's rights. The corporate elite appointed their representatives, the lawyers and judges, to flood the country with thousands of complex laws, often too long for even Congress to read or understand. Gradually, judges enforced these laws and forgot about the Constitution and common law. Today government is controlled by the large corporations, and federal tyranny is growing. When our Republic was founded, wealth was tied to assets like property, and even the wealthy were generally cash poor. Everyone benefited from a good infrastructure. Today wealth is more purely monetary and can easily be moved between nations. Wealth is no longer tied to what also benefits the people. This is partly why the ruling elite has turned against the people. 

Perhaps the greatest blessing of the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights is the recognition that people have natural rights that come from God; they are not delegated by the government. William Blackstone said: “This law of nature being coeval with mankind, and dictated by God himself is, of course, superior in obligation to any other....No human laws are of any validity if contrary to this....” Thus the power of a government must be limited, which was a fundamental principle of the Founders. The state was to respect and not interfere with the free exercise of natural rights. 

In more recent years certain natural rights, like the right to property, are ending as the asset forfeiture laws seize people's assets, often when people aren't even charged with a crime. In addition, the state now grants the people many rights such as in the welfare state. Instead of being a passive observer that did not grant or even interfere with people's rights, the government has created and granted rights such as providing food and housing. For millions addicted to government support, all needs are provided by the state, which greatly increased government power because the state needed many new laws and regulations to fulfill its new obligations to the people. If the government has the power to grant rights, it will inevitably limit those rights and commit crimes against the people as we see today. What a government grants, it can take away. Citizens have the legal and moral right to resist unjust laws. This is why the right to jury nullification was widely accepted for over 100 years before the founding of the Republic. People have a right and duty when on a jury to reject unjust laws. 

While it may be possible to improve the Constitution, I do not attack it, especially since the Bill of Rights was added. I agree with the Founders, like Benjamin Franklin, who felt that by establishing a Republic with a Bill of Rights they were also protecting the people's rights. The problem is not the Constitution, it is the nature of the human condition. Thucydides said: “Of the Gods we believe, and of men we know, that by a necessary law of their nature they rule wherever they can.” Most communist nations had a Constitution with clauses protecting human rights. Such words had little value. Our Constitution will only work if the people actively strive to protect their rights and if the rule of law prevails. If the large corporations aren't soon stopped, our Republic will one day become a distant memory. Already most Americans think we are a democracy when, in fact, we are a Republic. The Republic should be reestablished with democratically-orientated institutions.

Chapter III 

The Secret Government 

“I sincerely believe...that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies.” 

-Thomas Jefferson- 

“For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” 

-Matthew 16:26- 

Many books written by political and social scientists describe the corporate elite. While many consider America a pluralist society, too many well-researched books, such as Who Rules America Now? by G. William Domhoff and The Power Elite by C. Wright Mills, have shown that there is a cohesive upper class ruling America, a power elite consisting especially of corporate executives which dominates public policy, the electorial process, and government through numerous organizations and the expertise of foundations and think-tanks. These political scientists do not speak of conspiracies; yet what they write is often similar to what many on the right and left say about the corporate elite that controls America. Domhoff and many others have presented considerable evidence about the power and influence of the Trilateral Commission (TC) and Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) over our lives. 

FDR My Exploited Father-In-Law, by C.B. Dall is a very important book because it provides an inside look at how certain people have controlled our political destiny throughout the 20th century. Dall describes how the corporate elite ruthlessly advance their objectives at the people's expense, grooming phony politicians, creating wars and then phony peace treaties to mislead the public. Dall said CFR control of our political destiny had created a “subtle dictatorship by the few.” Dall called people like Colonel House, a key aide to President Wilson, “early one-worlders.” Bernard Baruch guided Wilson, “leading him like one would a poodle on a string.” Before Wilson could become a presidential candidate he had to support establishing the Federal Reserve, the direct election of senators, introduce the income tax, follow orders if a war started in Europe, and follow recommendations for cabinet posts. 

Dall called Baruch the number one political operative behind FDR. For some time Dall was confused by FDR's policies, but he came to understand that “Most of his (FDR's) thoughts, his political 'ammunition,' as it were, was carefully manufactured for him in advance by the CFR-One-World Money group.” Gradually, Dall became rather dismayed at these events, because FDR supported the one worlders and the “UN hoax.” 1 As R. Buckminister Fuller has also noted, the push for world government is a poison that has quietly existed among the ruling elite throughout the 20th century. 

FDR's son Elliott Roosevelt wrote The Conservators in which he declared: “There are within our world perhaps only a dozen organizations which shape the courses of our various destinies as rigidly as they regularly constituted governments....The impact of their decisions reach...into every home and office building in the modern world.” These groups are “the creme de la creme of global planners.” Roosevelt proceeded to describe the elite groups discussed in this book. 2 On August 23, 1993 Christopher Hitchens, the writer and Oxford friend of Clintons, on C-Span said: “It is, of course, the case that there is a ruling class in this country, and that it has allies internationally.” On August 28, 1994 Cokie Roberts said on ABC's This Week With David Brinkley that “Global bankers are really running the world.” 

Just as we now have one national political party with two branches, we have a secret government divided into four factions. The ruling faction includes the super rich, corporate and bank leaders, foundation heads, European aristocracy, and certain managers. The managers are often brilliant and ambitious people with few morals. These people generally belong to the TC, CFR, and the Bilderbergers. The secret government primarily includes the elites of Europe and America, although in recent years elites, from other regions have joined the corporate front groups discussed below. George Seldes said: “If it is true that money prevails in national and state elections, then it must also be true that the men who put up the money, the handful including the Du Ponts, Pews, Mellons, Rockefellers and others...also control our political life, our Congress, and the Presidency itself. A conspiracy of silence has always existed on this subject.” 3 In the July 26, 1936 New York Times Joseph Kennedy, father of the future president, said: “Fifty men have run America, and that's a high figure.” The second faction includes those in the national security state. The bankers and corporate elite are slightly more captivated by money, while the rogue military/intelligence groups are more drawn to power. The bankers and large corporations comprise the dominant force in control of the secret government. All CIA heads have been CFR members. 

These factions form an extremely powerful special interest group determined to destroy the Constitution and establishing a one world government. People in this group created World Wars I and II and many other conflicts in this century. Human life has no meaning to these people. Remember, only a few people around Hitler really understood his plans; yet consider the destruction that resulted. From this group come the dedicated fanatics determined to kill however many people it takes to establish the planned world dictatorship. It is difficult to put into words just how ruthless these people are. There are probably no more than several hundred people actually directing events. These people are supported by dedicated operatives including hit squads and people in the local, state, and federal police who carry out orders. Many of these operatives understand that a police state is planned, but they do not understand the ramifications and details. 

The execution of President Kennedy shows the determination of these fanatics. Fletcher Prouty, former officer in the Defense Intelligence Agency and author of The Secret Team, said the assassination of JFK was the work of the “Secret Team,” an elite group that operates behind the scenes inside and outside the government. While in the service, Prouty served as liaison officer between the Pentagon and the CIA. He said since World War II “more and more control over military and diplomatic operations at home and abroad” was assumed by elites The Secret Government 13 “whose activities are secret, whose budget is secret, whose very identities as often as not are secret....” He also said this group has always controlled the CIA. 

In High Treason, members of the “Secret Team,” or “The Club,” were identified as some of the wealthiest and most powerful people in America. “The Secret Team runs the U.S., and to a large extent, they have circumvented the Constitution. They are highly suspicious of the democratic process, and they have consistently tried to control and manipulate elections.” These people felt that Kennedy threatened their power. “The Secret Team did things to each President to make him understand that the power did not lie with the Presidency. His mandate may come from the people, but the power—and policy making—came from outside, from this shadow government....John Kennedy's murder was an example to all who followed, telling them to toe the line, and to do as they were told....Flag waving, super-patriotism, defense and 'national security' was the cover for these men to enrich themselves and entrench themselves in power. This Club, a loosely knit, informal organization, has gradually established a shadow government with a secret, institutionalized covert action capability outside the official government.” 4 

The third faction of the secret government are the Utopian dreamers or idealists who use slogans like “world peace through world law.” Here are the scholars and think-tank experts and many members of the World Federalist Association (WFA). I once heard two such people being interviewed. They were smug in their belief that the nation state must end. Some of these people understand that many will die to create a world government, but they accept this as a necessary transition stage. Some in this faction have deluded themselves into believing that this new society will help the people. This may be from a sense of superiority that they, as the elite, know what is best for the people or from a belief that one world government will prevent war, promote peace, protect the environment, and raise the people's standard of living. History has shown that there are always some Utopian dreamers who delude themselves into presenting a grandiose totalitarian scheme such as communism to improve or save humanity. Behind these dreamers always lurk those determined to enhance their power and wealth however many people must be killed along the way. 

The fourth faction of the secret government includes opportunists who don't really care what a new world order means, but they believe that joining groups like the CFR provides career advancement, prestige, contacts and a means to earn more money. These members give the secret planners another layer of protection and respectability. Many CFR members in the media are in this category. Carroll Quigley, a professor and former teacher of President Clinton, wrote Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time, describing in 1,348 pages the behind the-scenes influence of bankers like the Morgans, Rothschilds, and Rockefellers. 5 Quigley, the official biographer of the CFR, said there was an inner circle who directed things, partly by manipulating a larger, outer circle through persuasion, patronage, and social pressure. C.B. Dall said: “Few members of the CFR know the long-range plans of its small top-management group.” 6 While membership in these organizations doesn't mean there is monolithic servitude to the objectives as set forth by the leadership, all members of the groups described in this chapter support certain objectives like world government, NAFTA, and GATT. 

However much money and power these people obtain, it is never enough. It is difficult for normal people to understand the deep insecurity in those promoting the new world order. In 1776 Benjamin Franklin wrote: “Sir, there are two passions which have a powerful influence on the affairs of men...the love of power and the love of money....When united in view of the same object, they have in many minds the most violent effects.” The Bible warns: “For the love of money is the root of all evil....” 7 The drive to control people for money and power is relentless. Disagreements sometimes occur in these factions, but arguments are settled behind the scenes. Such disagreements are usually based on the means, not on the end goal of world domination and greater wealth. However, there are also communist and Catholic factions pushing plans for world domination that are in sharp agreement with the corporate plan for a world government 

In speaking about the plans of the secret government, one is describing treason. A second, often unrelated factor is the vast corruption that has overtaken America because the rule of money has replaced the rule of law. Organized gangs steal whatever they can, usually with no participation by the secret government, although there may be an occasional alliance as for example when the CIA and mafia raided certain banks during the S&L scandal. As Ambrose Evans Pritchard, the Washington, D.C. based reporter for the London Telegraph, said there is so much corruption in America that it is now like many third world countries he has reported from. A third factor to consider is the bureaucracy and the slow but inevitable growth of government. Those who want the federal government to dominate all aspects of our lives are adept at using the bureaucracy to assist in achieving their goals. In The Twilight of Democracy, released in 1995, Patrick Kennon, a former CIA official, said democracy “has become marginal as a system of government” so we should turn to bureaucratic experts. 

Some may ask why there is little information about the secret government in the press if they really rule America. It is because the corporate elite owns the national media. Many books like None Dare Call It Treason and None Dare Call It Conspiracy 8 list the owners of the national media in the CFR and TC. The interaction of the press, intelligence community, government, and our corporate masters is exemplified by the career of Leslie Gelb. In 1984, the Washington Post, and then the New York Times, said New York Times reporter Leslie Gelb had cooperated with the CIA during the Carter administration in 1978 to recruit reporters in Europe to publish stories that would encourage people to support development of the neutron bomb. Gelb worked in the State and Defense Departments under Johnson and Carter. Today he is president of the CFR. 

Over the years the national media has issued brief reports on the corporate elite acknowledging their influence. In the September 1, 1961 issue of the Christian Science Monitor, the CFR was described as “probably one of the most influential, semi public organizations in the field of foreign policy....It has staffed almost every key position of every administration since FDR.” In a May 1962 article in Esquire, Richard H. Rovere said: “The directors of the CFR make up a sort of Presidium for that part of the Establishment that guides our destiny as a nation.” On November 21, 1971, Anthony Lukas said, in the New York Times, “For the last three decades American foreign policy has remained largely in the hands of men—the overwhelming majority of them Council members (CFR) ....One of the most remarkable aspects of this remarkable organization...is how little is known about it outside a narrow circle of East Coast insiders.” On October 30, 1993, the Washington Post assured us that the CFR is in charge and all is well. A column by CFR member Richard Harwood acknowledged that many government leaders are in the CFR and this organization manages foreign affairs and the military-industrial complex. Harwood said 10 percent of the CFR now come from the media, and he listed key people in the national media who are CFR members. 9 

Quigley described the early influence of Cecil Rhodes in establishing certain secret societies, usually called Round Table organizations in various countries. Rhodes also established Rhodes scholarships for people to attend Oxford University. The groups kept in touch through correspondence, visits, and the quarterly magazine, The Round Table, which was established in 1910. In 1919 the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House) was founded in London. They controlled many university chairs and newspapers like The Times of London and The Observer. On December 14, 1992 Christopher Hitchens in The Nation described how the Rhodes alumni work together as part of a ruling elite. Many of these people became very influential in government. 

With a British perspective A.K. Chesterton, in The New Unhappy Lords, described how the secret government has dominated the major events of the 20th century. Chesterton first learned of the secret government in England when, as a journalist, he discovered that they could bring people from throughout the world to London to attend conferences during World War II. Even the British government couldn't do this. The CFR, established in 1921, was an outgrowth of this early British influence. From the start the CFR controlled The New York Times, Herald Tribune, Christian Science Monitor, and Washington Post. Controlling the national media was always understood to be crucial. 

According to Quigley, “There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the radical Right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups and frequently does so. I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960's, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims....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.”10 

“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.” The privately owned Bank of International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland played a key role in this interaction of central banks. “The growth of financial capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic control and a use of this power for the direct benefit of financiers and the indirect injury of all other economic groups.” 11 

In his next book, The Anglo American Establishment, Quigley had trouble finding a publisher. His first book was withdrawn after 9,000 copies were sold, despite its popularity, and the negatives were destroyed. The corporate controllers were displeased with what Quigley revealed. In this new book Quigley said: “It is not easy for an outsider to write the history of a secret group of this kind, but...it should be done, for this group is...one of the most important historical facts of the  twentieth century.” Quigley admitted “In this group were persons whose lives have been a disaster to our way of life.” The front cover of this book shows the U.S. flag upside down which has long been a sign of distress. The cover also shows the U.S. flag inside the British flag. For decades England has controlled the U.S. far more than people understand. 

The corporate elite hoped to establish a world government using the League of Nations, but this failed partly because the U.S. wouldn't join that organization. Colonel Edward House helped establish the CFR, and in Philip Dru, he said his goal was for “socialism as dreamed of by Karl Marx.” The book described a “conspiracy” to capture both political parties and use them to create a socialist world government. The plan included electing a president by using “deception regarding his real opinions and intentions.” Written in 1912, the book called for a graduated income tax and establishing a state-controlled central bank. These laws were passed in 1913, and many other goals outlined in the book also became reality. House called for a one-world government, one-world army, and one-world economy ruled by an Anglo-Saxon financial oligarchy with a dictator served by a 12 man council. Our Constitution would be greatly changed. President Roosevelt wrote Colonel House on November 23, 1933 “The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government ever since the days of (President) Andrew Jackson—and I am not wholly excepting the Administration of W.W. (Woodrow Wilson). The country is going through a repetition of Jackson's fight with the Bank of the U.S.—only on a far bigger and broader basis.” 12 

The CFR is based in New York with a branch in Washington, D.C. In recent years it has grown to over 3,000 members. David Rockefeller was chairman of the board from 1970-1985, and Henry Kissinger is a prominent member. The 1952 CFR annual report said its members sometimes suspend their membership when they join the government, and the Recce congressional investigation said there were secret CFR members. As suggested by the writings of its members, its goal is to condition the people to rely on government as the solution to all problems and to pull the country into a one world government directed by the UN. The CFR position of promoting free trade and a world government controlled by the elites of the U.S., Europe, and Japan with limited democracy is well expressed in The Management of Interdependence: A Preliminary View, by Miriam Camps. 

The CFR has dominated U.S. foreign policy and the State Department for decades through its publications, meetings, and private study groups. Kraft, in a July, 1958 Harper's article, said its study groups played a key role in shaping the UN charter. Weekly in the news, CFR experts discuss foreign affairs as guest experts. Rear Admiral Chester Ward, a CFR member for 16 years, said: “Once the ruling members of the CFR have decided that the U.S. Government should adopt a particular policy, the very substantial research facilities of CFR are put to work to develop arguments, intellectual and emotional, to support the new policy, and to confound and discredit, intellectually and politically, any opposition.” 13 Just recently a CFR panel proposed ending a 19-year policy that prevented the press from working for the CIA, and this is probably what will happen. The CFR announces policy and the U.S. government follows orders. 14 

“The most powerful clique in these elitist groups have one objective in common—they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty and the national independence of the U.S.” They want to end national boundaries and racial The Secret Government 17 and ethnic loyalties, supposedly to increase business and ensure world peace. What they strive for would inevitably lead to dictatorship and loss of freedoms by the people. The CFR was founded for “the purpose of promoting disarmament and submergence of U.S. sovereignty and national independence into an all-powerful one-world government....This lust to surrender the sovereignty and independence of the U.S. is pervasive throughout most of the membership....” 15 

FBI Bureau File 62-5256 shows that the FBI has investigated the CFR several times since 1931 especially for Nazi and communist activities. CFR headquarters is near the old Soviet Embassy to the UN. Obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, the 371-page file, with 336 pages released, had 263 instances of censoring. The record shows that, starting with Roosevelt, various presidents have blocked FBI investigations of the CFR citing national defense. It is quite unusual for a president to intervene in such investigations, and this is one more sign of the CFR's power. Over the years two ex-FBI agents have written books strongly attacking the CFR for its treasonous activities. Dan Smoot wrote The Invisible Government, and W. Cleon Skousen wrote The Naked Capitalist. Ted Gunderson and other ex-FBI agents also strongly attack CFR activities. Days after Hoover started another major investigation of the CFR, he died mysteriously. His successor, Patrick Gray III, started another investigation of the CFR, and he was forced to resign eight days after receiving detailed information about a CFR conspiracy against the U.S. government. The next FBI director, Clarence Kelley, was a CFR member. On March 15, 1974 he lied and wrote to Senator Hartke that the FBI had never investigated the CFR. 16 

The Trilateral Commission was established in 1973 by David Rockefeller after he read Zbigniew Brzezinski's book, Between Two Ages, which praised socialism and said the U.S. is becoming obsolete so we should join a one world government. National sovereignty was no longer a viable concept. The U.S. Constitution should be rewritten while the existing federal system of having sovereign states was no longer necessary. He called for an alliance among North America, Western Europe, Japan, and ultimately, the communist countries. He said: “Marxism represents a further vital and creative stage in the maturing of man's universal vision....Though Stalinism may have been a needless tragedy for both the Russian people and communism as an ideal, there is the intellectually tantalizing possibility that for the world at large it was...a blessing in disguise.” 17 

These were strange words for a man who became President Carter's National Security Advisor; however, this was magic to David Rockefeller. He hired Brzezinski to direct the TC and brought in Carter as well. Comrade Rockefeller in 1972 made the remarkable statement: “The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao's leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history.” 18 Over 60 million Chinese died in Mao's experiment. Based in New York City, the TC has several hundred members from Western Europe, Japan, Canada, and the U.S. with a goal of fostering closer cooperation among these regions to establish a global government. 

The TC published The Crisis of Democracy, which claimed there was a crisis and excess of democracy because citizens had become too politically active. The democratic surge had created a “democratic distemper....A pervasive spirit of democracy may pose an intrinsic threat and undermine all forms of association, weakening the social bonds which hold together family, enterprise, and community....An excess of democracy means a deficit in governability....” Thus there was  a need to restrain the American people. It was deemed necessary to protect the elites and restore a more equitable relationship between government authority and the people. Since the media had become too critical of government policy, there was a need to restrict freedom of the press and change the way officials are elected in order to weaken the people's influence. 19 

The Bilderberg group was founded in 1954 in Europe. According to TC approved sources, its first meeting in 1954 was financed by the CIA. 20 It has an annual meeting, usually in Europe, and the Rothschilds play a major role in its affairs. In 1990 American Hegemony and the Trilateral Commission, by Stephen Gil, explained the activities of the TC and the Bilderbergers. Many members are in the European aristocracy, while American members are often also in the CFR. Its 1995 meeting in Switzerland was guarded by the Swiss army, which is strange for a private group. A recent member is William Kristol, editor of Rupert Murdoch's Weekly Standard. A relative unknown Kristol suddenly became an expert on many talk shows. When Kristol speaks he often represents the Bilderberg group. After Dole won the nomination, Kristol attacked him in the Weekly Standard because the Bilderberg group wants Clinton reelected. Kristol should register as a foreign lobbyist. 

In a private June, 1991 Bilderberg meeting David Rockefeller said: “We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promise of discretion for almost forty years....It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The super national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.” 

The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP) is another corporate group. Officially it is another Washington think-tank. For several years it was directed by Alger Hiss, the former senior State Department official found guilty of perjury for denying he'd copied government papers for the Soviet Union. And Councils on World Affairs groups exist in many cities across the U.S. Allied to the CFR and the State Department, these groups hold lectures to promote an international outlook. 

There is also the World Federalist Association (WFA) based in Washington, D.C., which was previously called the United World Federalists, with members like Ronald Reagan and George Bush. Founded in 1947 its membership has dwindled to around 9,000 from a peak of 40,000 in the 1950s. Unlike the other corporate fronts, this group has openly called for immediate world government. One of its early brochures, Beliefs, Purposes, Policies, said its aim was to “create a world federal government with authority to enact, interpret and enforce world law adequate to maintain peace....World law should be enforceable directly upon individuals.” Nations in a world government should have no right of secession, direct taxes should be paid by individuals, and there should be a world police force with nations being disarmed except for light arms to deal with internal matters.[9000 is hardcore 9000 DC] 

The first WFA head Cord Meyer, Jr., who later became a senior CIA official, in 1947, wrote Peace or Anarchy, in which he called for a world government, full national disarmament, and a UN army that controlled all nuclear weapons. If a nation attempted to overthrow the UN, it would be crushed. The sovereign-nation  state was called the great threat to peace, and individual citizens must submit themselves to world law and UN courts. The cold war required “total preparedness” which meant “totalitarianism for American citizens....This brutalization of life must be extended even to the control of the mind. Propaganda will be substituted for fact, and official ideology will supplant the free search for truth. Every source of public information...must be perverted. Those who dissent will (ultimately) face arrest.” 21 

The journal, Foreign Affairs, with a circulation of 115,000, is the mouthpiece of the CFR. Over the years it has introduced important new foreign policies that became official U.S. government policy. For instance, George Kennan's containment of communism and Richard Nixon's position about reopening relations with Communist China were first announced in this journal. The journal, Foreign Policy, is published by the CEIP, while the quarterly, World Federalist, is published by the WFA. Also, if you want to see what is planned for our future, read Futurist magazine. From describing a cashless society to implants to control people, this publication reveals much. 

These organizations have interlocking members with a common goal of establishing a one world government by dividing the world into three regions: Europe, North and South America, and the Pacific Union under the UN. Members comes from the economic, political, charitable, media, religious, educational, and academic elites. A recent book, Who's Who of the Elite by Robert G. Ross, Sr., lists most members in these groups. 

Every administration since 1920 has included members of the CFR which has dominated the federal government, especially the Departments of Defense, State, and Treasury, since World War II. Thomas Dewey, the Republican presidential candidate in 1944 and 1948, was a CFR member as was Eisenhower, Nixon, Bush, Stevenson, Kennedy, Humphrey, and McGovern. Over 70 of Kennedy's appointments were members of these organizations. At the end of None Dare Call It Conspiracy, by Gary Allen, is a list of 110 members of the CFR Nixon appointed to his regime. Most key officials in Carter's administration were members of these groups, while Bush had 380 CFR members in his government. Clinton is a member of the CFR and TC. The May 21, 1995 Arkansas Democrat Gazette discussed Clinton's attending the 1991 Bilderberg convention and his alignment with Rockefeller. Over 80 percent of the heads of the federal government executive branches since World War II have been members of these groups. 

CFR members in Clinton's regime include Secretary of State Christopher, Secretary of Interior Bruce Babbitt, Secretaries of Treasury Lloyd Bentsen and Robert Rubin, Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Henry Cisneros, Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott, Under Secretary for Political Affairs Peter Tarnoff, Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Public Affairs Winston Lord, National Security Advisor Anthony Lake, UN Ambassador Madeleine Albright, recent CIA Director James Woolsey and current CIA head John Deutch (also in TC), Council of Economic Advisors Chairman Laura Tyson, and White House Science Advisor John Gibbons. This is only a partial list. 

Former House speaker Foley and present House speaker Newt Gingrich, as well as former Senate majority leader George Mitchell, and former House majority leader Gephardt are members of the CFR, as are Supreme Court justices Stephen Breyer, Sandra O'Connor, and Ruth Ginsburg. Breyer and Ginsburg were only two  of three U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judges in the CFR. This nation of about 255 million people is more than capable of producing many dedicated public servants outside these elite groups yet they continue to dominate the government and the press rarely discusses this. 22 

Over the decades many heads of state and leaders of international organizations like NATO and the World Bank visit CFR headquarters in New York. In 1990 Nelson Mandela visited the CFR, as did Yeltsin soon after. Jean-Bertrand Aristide of Haiti gave a speech at the CFR on September 25, 1991. In 1995, when Castro visited New York, he promptly went to CFR headquarters to meet corporate leaders. U.S. foreign policy has been manipulated for decades to promote world government. 

Leaders of various governments understand where real power resides, so representatives of the secret government are allowed to intervene in world affairs. In April, 1994 a private group led by Henry Kissinger and Lord Carrington, the former British Foreign Secretary, went to South Africa with “some private citizens” to settle things. Officially the mission was not labeled a success; however, shortly after this visit Chief Buthelezi finally agreed to bring his party into the electoral process, and peaceful elections took place with a transition of governments. 

In the spring of 1994, Selig Harrison from the CEIP visited North Korea to mediate the quarrel over North Korea obtaining nuclear arms. In mid June, 1994 former President Carter also visited Norm Korea. In December, 1994 Rep. Richardson, another CFR member, visited North Korea. Even the North Koreans understand who really controls America, so they are willing to meet corporate representatives. Richardson went to Burma, and the imprisoned Burmese leader Aung San Suu Kyi was soon released. He also visited Iraq, and brought home two imprisoned Americans. Journalists like Cokie Roberts wondered in amazement how Richardson was so effective! In July, 1995 Kissinger met with senior U.S. and Chinese officials to improve the worsening relations. 

National Security and the U.S. Constitution declared that “post-World War II and pre-Vietnam foreign policy operated in the context of an establishment consensus, brokered by major East Coast diplomatic and financial figures active in the CFR.” 23 In 1994 Clinton said he would renew the most-favored trade status for China without tying it to human rights concerns. Shortly before this announcement, the TC released Triangle Paper number 45 “An Emerging China in a World of Interdependence” urging that China be allowed into existing regional organizations and be involved in security matters. If you want to learn what is in store for U.S. foreign policy, read CFR and TC reports. 

The great danger to our Republic is that the traitors, although small in numbers, are a dedicated, well-financed, and well-organized group of utterly ruthless fanatics with no morals, who will use any method to establish a world government police state. While this is happening, most people ignore the evidence and watch football. This is how the communists and Nazis took control. In the 20th century, some have understood this danger. 

John F. Hylan, Mayor of New York City, said on March 26, 1922: “The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over our city, state, and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self-created screen....It seizes in its long and powerful tentacles our executive officers, our legislative bodies, our schools, our courts, our newspapers, and every agency created for the public protection....At the  head of this octopus are the Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as the international bankers. (They) virtually run the U.S. government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both parties, write political platforms, make catspaws of party leaders, use the leading men of private organizations, and resort to every device to place in nomination for high public office only such candidates as will be amenable to the dictates of corrupt big business. They connive at centralization of government on the theory that a small group of hand-picked, privately controlled individuals in power can be more easily handled than a larger group among whom there will most likely be men sincerely interested in public welfare.” 24 

In 1954 Senator Jenner said: “Today the path to total dictatorship in the U.S. can be laid by strictly legal means, unseen and unheard by Congress, the President, or the people....We have a well-organized political-action group in this country, determined to destroy our Constitution and establish a one-party state....The important point to remember about this group is not its ideology but its organization. It is a dynamic, aggressive, elite corps, forcing its way through every opening, to make a breach for a collectivist one-party state. It operates secretly, silently, continuously to transform our Government without suspecting that change is under way....If I seem to be extremist, the reason is that this revolutionary clique cannot be understood, unless we accept the fact that they are extremist. It is difficult for people governed by reasonableness and morality to imagine the existence of a movement which ignores reasonableness and boasts of its determination to destroy, which ignores morality, and boasts of its cleverness in outwitting its opponents by abandoning all scruples. This ruthless power-seeking elite is a disease of our century....This group...is answerable neither to the President, the Congress, nor the courts. It is practically irremovable.” The senator's two page speech should be read by every American. 25 Over the decades, many in Congress have attacked the power of the secret government. 

In 1953 and 1954 the Reece Committee investigated the tax-exempt foundations and their relationship to left-wing groups. At that time Congress said CFR “productions are not objective but are directed overwhelmingly at promoting the globalistic concept.” The CFR had become “in essence an agency of the U.S. government...carrying its internationalist bias with it.” However, little changed and the investigation soon ended, because the foundations were too powerful. These foundations work together supporting common goals like transforming education, supporting the UN, and supporting foreign aid to promote the new world order. Ford Foundation chairman John J. McCloy was also chairman of the Chase Manhattan Bank and the CFR. The Ford, Rockefeller, and Carnegie Foundations and others were established to restore the reputations of big bankers and large corporations which were criticized harshly before World Wars I and II. They also avoided paying taxes while taking others' money as they attained great power and influence. 26 

In 1958 Rene Wormser the general counsel of the Reece Committee wrote Foundations: Their Power and Influence revealing how the tax-exempt foundations were used by the corporate elite to secretly shape and influence American life through social manipulation and political power. From research grants to universities to influence in government these foundations are an unchecked power that is “interlocking and self-perpetuating.” The author said more public control should be exerted over how these foundations spend their money, and they should be banned from participating in political activities. Public trustees should be required in foundations, courts should examine their activities, and some foundations should lose their tax-exempt status. 27 

Certain popular books contributed to attacks on the corporate rulers. None Dare Call It Treason by John Stormer and None Dare Call It Conspiracy by Gary Allen sold millions of copies. Both books described in detail the corporate elite and their alignment with communism. A Choice Not An Echo and The Gravediggers by Phyllis Schlafly said the Republican party was secretly controlled by the Bilderberg group and global communist domination was the goal. 

For years conservative factions of the Republican party, especially in the West, attacked the CFR. Barry Goldwater said: “The CFR...believes national boundaries should be obliterated and one-world rule established.” 28 “The TC...is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the U.S....In my view, the TC represents a skilled, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power—political, monetary, intellectual, and ecclesiastical....What the Trilaterals truly intend is the creation of a worldwide economic power superior to the political governments of the nation-states involved. As managers and creators of the system, they will rule the future.” 29 

R. Buckminster Fuller, a widely respected observer of our culture, also understood the great power of what he called the invisible government. In Critical Path, in the chapter “Legally Piggily,” Fuller describes how large corporations and their lawyers control the U.S. “The U.S.A. is not run by its would-be 'democratic' government. All the latter can do is try to adjust to the initiatives already taken by (leaders of the) great corporations. Nothing could be more pathetic than the role that has to be played by the President of the United States, whose power is approximately zero. Nevertheless, the news media and most over-thirty-years-of-age U.S.A. citizens carry on as if the President has supreme power.” The invisible power groups manipulate us through “its enormous media control and its election funding and lobbying power of the American political game.” 30 

On May 22, 1975 Fuller testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee stating, when asked where our country and people were going, “Not only have all the big corporations become transnational and taken all the former U.S.A. gold and other negotiable assets with them....Today most of the people in America still think of their nation as being the most powerful of the world nations—ergo, free to make its own most constructive moves. Quite the opposite is now true...The U.S. is both internally and externally bankrupt.” In the 1960s and 1970s various sources such as C.B. Dall in FDR, My Exploited Father-in Law,31 said most of the gold in Fort Knox had been taken by the bankers because the U.S. was bankrupt. Fuller also said the second great gasoline shortage of June, 1979 was created by the invisible government to divert the public from concern generated by the Three Mile Island radiation accident. 

In 1980 the American Legion (AL) passed Resolution 773 at their national convention demanding that Congress investigate the TC and CFR. This resolution was introduced into the House February 4, 1981 by Rep. McDonald, but Congress did nothing. In 1981 the AL introduced Resolution 243 again asking Congress to investigate the CFR and TC. The Veterans of Foreign Wars introduced a similarly worded Resolution 460 at their national convention in 1981.

The influence of the secret government has also been discussed in several elections. Christopher Lydon, in The Atlantic Monthly, said conspiracy theories are banned in mainstream American journalism and then, to his surprise, described how Rockefeller and the TC got Carter, a member of the TC and a man from a small southern state with no base in the democratic party, elected president. For months no one except the press took Carter's candidacy seriously. Time put Carter on the cover in 1971 and continued to present him in glowing terms. 32 

A chapter in The Carter Presidency and Beyond describes how the TC promoted Carter. The Rockefellers had old business ties in Atlanta; David Horowitz, co-author of The Rockefellers, said “Atlanta is Rockefeller South.” Rockefeller intervened with the black leadership in Atlanta to get national black support for Carter. As president, Carter promoted the agenda of the corporate elite. Robertson, in The New World Order, describes how Carter and his administration were dominated by the New York banker groups, especially through the CFR. One reporter said: “It would be unfair to say the TC dominates the Carter administration. The TC is the Carter administration.” 33 On the same morning I read the Atlantic Monthly articles about Carter, I also read several articles in the Nation 34 which described how the media, especially Time, had distorted the news to protect Clinton, especially concerning his involvement with money laundering, the CIA, and drug running in Arkansas. I could have been reading about the same candidate except for the 19 year difference. 

It was fairly common, up to the early 1980s, to attack the power of the TC and the CFR. Reagan and Connally harshly attacked them during the 1980 election campaign partly because they got Carter elected President. Bush resigned from the CFR over the uproar but his CFR membership helped cost him the Republican nomination. However, once elected, Reagan brought many TC and CFR people into his administration.

By the mid 1980s these corporate groups had come to so dominate the national media and both political parties that they were rarely discussed. It was as if they never existed, despite the fact that they have dominated every White House for decades. In 1988 former Interior Secretary James Watt was a lone voice when he said the Reagan government was greatly influenced by the TC, which was using its influence to “protect their fortunes and preserve their political clout.” 

Congress and the president are increasingly irrelevant to the secret government. The CFR uses money and lobbyists to control Congress, as shown by the passage of NAFTA and GATT. The bankers are quite sophisticated, using lobbyists so some politicians have sold out to them without even realizing it. Many politicians do what they are ordered to do by various special interest groups which are secretly controlled by the corporations with their unlimited funds and influence. 

These organizations have enormous economic and political clout. For instance, the Business Roundtable is a lobbyist group for major corporations and banks that played a major role in getting NAFTA and GATT passed. Both political parties have key leaders who are members of these elite groups. The parties often disagree because, if the Democratic and Republican leadership supported every bill, it would become too obvious that we really have only one national political party. Joseph Kraft said: “The Council (CFR) plays a special part in helping bridge the gap between the two parties, affording unofficially a measure of continuity when the guard changes in Washington.” 35 The present dominant power of the corporate elite represents a decline of American pluralism. Labor, farmers, small businesses, professionals, environmentalists, and consumers now have little say in the affairs of the nation, because big business controls both political parties. Money rules all. 

Many believe one can trace the roots of the corporate elite and the secret government back to the late 1700s with the influence of the Illuminati. However, to go into that here would go beyond the scope of this book. There are many excellent texts that readers can study, and some of these books are listed in the bibliography. Other groups in the secret government such as the Order of Skull and Bones, 36 the Club of Rome, and 33rd degree Masons should be studied by the serious student to understand our present predicament. Conspirators' Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300, by Dr. John Coleman, is a good review on the broad reach of the secret government into many areas of society.
