- In March of 2004, I was asked by a new member to comment
on a best-selling book that had just arrived in the stores, Against All
Enemies, by Richard Clarke. My one-sentence review is that this book is
a classic example of opinion engineering to perpetuate policies of the
CFR.
-
- A little background is in order. For those who are familiar
with the creation of the Federal Reserve System, it will be remembered
that the Federal Reserve Act was an outgrowth of a public outcry to "break
the grip of the money trust. The financiers who constituted the money trust
did not wait for a genuine grassroots movement to take hold. Instead, they
covertly led the crusade against themselves and drafted their own so-called
reform legislation. They created an institution that was offered to the
public as a government agency to break the grip of the money trust but
which actually consolidated the power of the money trust and expanded it.
This was a classic example of offering false leadership and leading one,s
own opposition.
-
- LEAD YOUR OWN OPPOSITION
-
- In 1987, Simon and Schuster published William Greider,s
book, Secrets of the Temple, which was offered to the public as a scathing
exposé of the Federal Reserve System. His history was excellent,
but his conclusion was fatally flawed. After having proven that the Fed
was conceived as a weapon of the banking elite against the common man and
having shown throughout his book that this is exactly the function it has
always served, his conclusion was, not to abolish the Fed or even to make
serious changes to it. His "call to action was simply to stop worrying
about it. The Fed has made mistakes, he said, but we have learned many
lessons along the way. All we need now are wiser men to run it! That is
exactly the kind of solution that made his book acceptable to the giant
publishing house, Simon and Schuster. It is no solution at all. The elite
do not care what we know about a problem if we don,t do anything about
it. They are quite good at putting forth their own opposition - people
like Greider - who will sound the alarm and rally the troops but lead them
exactly nowhere.
-
- In 2000, Simon and Schuster published another book in
this same category, Day of Deceit; The Truth about FDR and Pearl Harbor,
by Robert Stinnett. It is a block buster of facts and previously hidden
documents proving beyond doubt that FDR, Secretary-of-War Henry Stimson,
General George Marshall, and many others high in the Roosevelt Administration
secretly plotted to cause Japan to Attack Pearl Harbor as an excuse to
bring the United Stated into World War II supposedly as a victim of an
unprovoked attack. So, what was Stinnett,s conclusion? Was it to condemn
these men for their treachery? Not at all. It was that this act was justified
because it helped put a stop to Hitler in Europe. In other words, to halt
totalitarianism in Europe, it was necessary to adopt totalitarianism in
America, and to do so was an act of great statesmanship! Once again, Simon
and Schuster provided the American people with a false opinion leader.
What,s the point of getting all frothed up over a president lying to the
voters and deliberately causing thousands of Americans to be killed if
we are then to decide that he was a hero for dong so?
-
- Now, in 2004, we have Simon and Schuster continuing the
tradition. Against All Enemies, by Richard Clarke, is an excellent overview
of certain aspects of George W. Bush,s abuse of the Presidency. It verifies
that, prior to 9-11, Bush disregarded warnings of pending terrorist attacks
and, after 9-11, launched an unnecessary invasion of Iraq. There are no
surprises here. Almost all of this information had managed to seep through
to the public in spite of media loyalty to the White House. In fact, it
was this information (plus a lot more never mentioned by Clarke) that caused
Bush,s popularity ratings to decline sharply. This book added very little
to the knowledge base except that the author had been an insider with first-hand
involvement. The book,s true agenda is revealed by the author,s solutions.
He reluctantly accepts totalitarian measures in the U.S. as necessary for
homeland security and indirectly supports the expansion of UN power as
a desirable goal on the path to world order. However, the real solution
that jumps from almost every page of this book is to replace George Bush
in the November 2004 elections. That makes a lot of sense, but who will
take his place? The fact is that Bush would be replaced by John Kerry.
(Clarke,s book didn,t go to press until after Kerry had become the clear
frontrunner of the Democratic Party.) This is no solution at all. Kerry
is a member of the CFR and, although he might make minor alterations in
Iraq, we can be sure that he would continue to follow the CFR blueprint
for world government based on the model of collectivism.
-
- THE QUIGLEY FORMULA
-
- The net effect of Against All Enemies is to implement
a strategy described by Professor Carroll Quigley, President Clinton,s
mentor when he was a student at Georgetown University. In his book, Tragedy
and Hope, Quigley explained the value of allowing people to believe that,
by choosing between the Democratic and Republican parties, they are participating
in their own political destiny. To a collectivist like Quigley, this is
a necessary illusion to prevent voters from meddling into the important
affairs of state. If you have ever wondered why the two American parties
appear so different at election time but not so different afterward, listen
carefully to Quigley,s approving overview of American politics:
-
- The National parties and their presidential candidates,
with the Eastern Establishment assiduously fostering the process behind
the scenes, moved closer together and nearly met in the center with almost
identical candidates and platforms, although the process was concealed
as much as possible, by the revival of obsolescent or meaningless war cries
and slogans (often going back to the Civil War). The argument that the
two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps,
of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only
to the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should
be almost identical, so that the American people can "throw the rascals
out at any election without leading to any profound or extreme shifts in
policy. Either party in office becomes in time corrupt, tired, unenterprising,
and vigorless. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years
if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of these things but
will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies.

(New York: Macmillan, 1966), pp. 1247-1248.]
-
- OBVIOUS CLUES
-
- When Against All Enemies hit the bookstores in March,
there were several obvious clues that it was following the Quigley formula.
The first was that it was given incredibly favorable coverage in the mass
media. It was on the network news and received front-page coverage in almost
every major newspaper. No book publisher could purchase that kind of publicity
at any price. No author who offered genuine opposition to the CFR agenda
would ever receive such a favorable and extensive media blitz like this.
There have been many White House whistleblowers over the years, but they
seldom if ever get favorable treatment in the media. If you understand
the degree to which CFR collectivists control the media, you would know
immediately that Clarke,s message was given the green light by that group.
With this knowledge, you would also know that they are leading their own
opposition. They are perfectly willing to dump Bush and replace him with
Kerry, because they win either way.
-
- (Bush, of course, is not without resources. If Osama
Bin Laden would be captured or another horrible terrorist attack would
happen prior to the elections, it is possible that the public might still
rally behind Bush one more time.)
-
- Clue number two was that the activist group, MoveOn,
chose this book for national promotion and fund raising. MoveOn was created
as an organization to defend Clinton during his impeachment, and its total
focus has always been to promote the Democrat Party. It is very selective
in its choice of issues to promote. Partisan loyalty is paramount. It condemns
Republicans for being indifferent to terrorist threats from Islamic regimes
but it is silent when Democrats are indifferent to terrorist threats from
Leninist regimes. MoveOn serves the same function for the Democrat Party
as Rush Limbaugh does for the Republican Party. They both attack the opposition
party but seldom say an unkind word about those on their side of the aisle.
Partisanship is always above principle. They serve the CFR as bell ringers
to "throw the rascals out without really changing basic policies.
-
- The third clue was that Against All Enemies was published
by Free Press, a division of Simon and Schuster. As mentioned previously,
Simon and Schuster is the same company that published Secrets of the Temple
and Day of Deceit. I am not aware of any of its hundreds of titles that
seriously challenge the goals of the CFR. It would be foolish to expect
this book to change that pattern.

our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity
during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared
to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an
intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national
auto-determination practiced in past centuries."
