Tragedy and Hope and Economics

By: Jay

I had a lengthy argument with one of my professors the other day.  I was told there is no Bildergerg Group, nor is there a Trilateral Commission, and they do not plan for a world government and single world currency.  Not only is this obvious to anyone who watches even the mainstream news, for someone in academia, it’s embarrassing, inasmuch as the library I work in has an entire row of works dedicated to globalism, globalization and globalist policy.  In this exchange I happened to have Carroll Quigley’s Tragedy and Hope on me, so I took it out and promptly read the famous quote from the well-known section:

“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 Group has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, of 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 and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, but in the past and recently, to a few of its policies (notably to its belief that England was an Atlantic rather than a European Power and must be allied, or even federated, with the United States and must remain isolated from Europe), but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wished to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known.” - pg. 950, Tragedy and Hope (1966)

He had not heard of Dr. Quigley, though this is a classic work of geo-politics.  I then pointed out that the Trilateral Commission’s own website discusses yearly meetings about “global economic governance.”  The reply was that I should leave the class if I am going to argue about it.  Ironically, the entire discussion started over whether education was tightly controlled from the top down, by the foundations and bureaucracies.  “Of course they are not,” he said, as I was asked to hush, and leave.   Yet Quigley’s book describes just such a control mechanism in place in all major spheres of influence.  In regard to education, R.J. Rushdoony’s The Messianic Character of American Education, as well as the work of Charlotte Iserbyte show very clearly the subversion and co-opting  of education for the purpose of mass control.  In fact, Tragedy and Hope discusses Lord Milner’s Round Table Groups, upon which the RIIA and Council on Foreign Relations are based.  Quigley writes:

“The powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching plan, 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… Their secret is that they have annexed from governments, monarchies, and republics the power to create the world’s money…”  -Ibid., pg. 324 Read more of this post
