History: How the US Government Was Overthrown In Three Easy Steps

So what if I told you that the powers of financial capitalism (bankers etc.), had a 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 apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations?

And what if I told you they had succeeded?

Note from kpete: this is a large article taken from a huge book. I do not pretend to understand even a quarter of it - but, as usual, I post it thinking MANY of you can.

Here is just a couple of snippets:

A final word

Please use caution when reading this. There is a broader context to this that I am unable to address in this space. Quigley's Tragedy and Hope is over 1300 pages and these citations are scattered seamlessly throughout.

The point is not to assert that there is a secret group who is pulling the strings of the modern world. It is far more complex. It is possible that there still exist the inner circle of "initiates." But I have no evidence for it. In fact, the evidence strongly suggest that after 1910 or so, the whole organization took on a new character. And it certainly got uglier.

...........................

The current financial crisis is another such example, producing serious questions about the influence of the superclass. Of the world's elites, none has strutted the world stage for the past decade like global investment bankers. Masters of money, they created something new: global markets and a constantly evolving array of securities that were both beyond the reach and the comprehension of regulators. Now, the value of some of the complex investment vehicles they created is proving to be illusory.

As a consequence, the world economy was set for the crisis that is currently unfolding. There was no effective global regulator to keep the system in check, and there was no real voice for the average Joe. The Federal Reserve stepped in to stabilize the burnout of one of these major market makers—even though they have no jurisdiction over investment banks, even though many of those supporting the bailout/buyout were the same who have long clamored for "self-regulation," even though many were the ones who had cited the moral hazard of helping to bail out homeowners and encouraging their bad borrowing behavior. And so you have a financial leadership structure that bails out investment bankers worldwide, but not homeowners.

1. If I wanted to take over the world, I'd totally start with the US.

Talk about leverage! Guess it's good that we're almost tapped out. Next stop for Freidmanism/Corp control: outer space?

2. Of course -- the natural interest of corporations to control/weaken/destroy only force that can stop

them from their plans of global market and/or political domination. it's the corporate desire to be "free" but it is anathema to the public interest because corporations have one track minds -- for profit. In fact, this one track mind is required by law and by their charters.

[Kaleko]

4. Exactly. Self-interest by business versus the public interest.

The public is being driven to a brink where even big corporations are in imminent danger of collapse. Worldwide.

I don't think the bulk of those, self-absorbed, short-sighted PNACers considered all the ramifications of their grand Plan for a New American Century. Some of these big dogs are sweating tears and blood these days, actually.

Look at Ben Bernanke or anywhere else in Replicland. They've fucked it up so that China and Russia and Iran can give them public snubs! That's the good part, these blood hounds are being brought to heel.

8. Look into the background of WalMart and you can see Stephens' and GHWBush's role

in pushing the global fascist agenda in this country and with Chinese industrialists and with Dubai and Saudi financial interests.

BCCI's illegal operations didn't happen in a vacuum.

[Subdivisions]

3. New. World. Order. n/t

[blm]

9. Yep. GHWBush mentioned New World Order over 40 times during his Presidential years and now some

here pretend like it never happened because they can't face the truth about those powerful Dems who protected the fascist agenda for Poppy throughout the 90s and still today.

5. The Club of Rome - "Limits to Growth"

Computer models back in the 1970s predicted worldwide crisis once population growth and demand for resources reached a certain point. The world elite have had a long time to prepare for this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_of_Rome

Critics have charged the Club of Rome with "Neo-Malthusianism" and strong elitism in its membership, which interlocks with European power elite groups such as the Bilderberg Group and to a lesser degree Anglo-American elite members. Conspiracy theorists occasionally link the Club with various world conspiracies, notably the New World Order.<2>

Neo-malthusianism like that promoted by the Club of Rome is generally criticized by transhumanists for one primary flaw: it fails to account for the advance of technology, which provides increases in resource utilization efficiency as well as resource recovery efficiency. Once these efficiency improvements are taken into account on similar exponential scales tracking such technological trends as Moore's Law, critics argue that it becomes evident that neo-malthusian predictions are much less likely than predicted by the Club of Rome back in the 1970's.

I'd rather be on the side of technology.

7. And why BCCI serviced Bushes, Dubai and Saudi royals as well as global terror networks

and Chinese industrialists.

Kerry worked over 5 yrs to uncover and expose these dangerous relationships and Bill Clinton came along and spent the 90s protecting the secrecy and privilege of Poppy Bush and his cronies. Just as BCCI thug Jackson Stephens groomed him to do.
