It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations"
And was Franklin Roosevelt lying when he stated that: "A financial element in the large centers has owned the government since the days of Andrew Jackson."
And was Wilson a conspiracy nutjob when he wrote: "Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the U.S., in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."
He later elaborated:
"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."
Were these presidents lying through their teeth or were they clinically insane or were they perhaps simply better informed than you are and telling the truth?
Those few families with their allies remain in control today. For example, Nicholas Rockefeller is carrying out the plans of his uncle David Rockefeller who himself, along with his now deceased brothers, continued the "legacy" of their father, John D Rockefeller, a legacy which included striving for financial, and eventually political, domination of the world. |
These quotes are without context. I doubt you could actually source me the original context and can only source me one of those 'scary quote' sites. Any one of these people could be talking about the very public cartels (not secret societies) like the Carlyle group for example, that swoop down and buy up the ashes of failed ventures. There is nothing so secret about the abominable cross pollination of lobbyists, policy makers, arms traders, and bankers. There is no need for a secret society headed up by Blofeld or Dracula or whoever would be most exciting. This is a fantasy for people who don't find real world machinations interesting enough. Have you ever heard of the journalist Greg Palast? (Please don't do a 30 second Google and denounce him as a disinfo agent) He has joined the dots in a less erraticly random, and far more robust and credible way, than anyone in Alex Jones' gang. He's done the research and gone undercover etc.
Here's a link to a piece on lobbying:

Nod, wink, back-hander, mutual back scratching, that's about a secret as it gets. the stakes are big I agree but I do not agree that there are a handful of dynasties etc. that want to control the world.
The only quote above that is cause for concern is the first one (from scaryquote.com no doubt) by Wilson. However, I could just as easily argue that he is talking about a secret cabal of Doctor Who monsters.
