During the 1980s, I was on the fast track of a successful government career, which took me around the world dealing with American embassies, foreign government officials, international business leaders, and, at times, members of the press and media. . . .   Through my travels and job-related contacts, I became aware of plans being laid worldwide for the establishment of a one-world government . . . My investigations ultimately extended around the world, from Taiwan to Israel to the Soviet Union.  . . . Although Bush, Gorbachev, De Cuellar, and various members of Congress have openly been talking about a “New World Order,” none of these leaders has dared explain the true meaning of the term.  This is because the public would try to stop them if they understood what it really meant. . . .

. . . [Our money is] controlled by just a few people devoted to the cause of world government.

   Recently passed interstate banking laws have made this centralization possible by allowing big banks to swallow up smaller banks at an alarming rate.  Over a twelve state region stretching from New England to the Carolinas, for example, three New York super-banks now control over 85 percent of the banking assets. 

   Small banks were first bought out by larger in-state.  Bigger regional banks then purchased these large state banks.  Once this   process had been completed, the regional banks were merged with the   New York super-banks in unprecedented acquisitions until a few banks controlled nearly everything.  This all happened during the late1970s and early 80s.  The same process is now being repeated throughout the rest of the country.

   Little did I know at this point that I was still only scratching the surface on these matters.  I would soon discover that the same forces behind the big bank mergers already controlled the American banking industry via the Federal Reserve System.  This has been the case ever since the Fed’s establishment in 1913.  Contrary to public belief, the Federal Reserve is not a government institution.  It is a privately held corporation owned by stockholders.  Until a few years ago, however, the names of those who owned the Federal Reserve was one of the best kept secrets of international finance due to a proviso on the passage of the Federal Reserve Act agreeing that the identities of the Fed’s Class A stockholders not be revealed.

   Mr. R. E. McMaster, the publisher of a financial newsletter called “The Reaper,” was able to determine who the Fed’s principal owners were through his Swiss and Saudi Arabian contacts.  According to McMaster, the top eight stockholders are Rothschild Banks of London and Berlin; Lazard Brothers Banks of Paris; Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy; Warburg Bank of Hamburg and Amsterdam; Lehman Brothers Bank of New York; Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York; Chase Manhattan bank of New York; and Goldman Sachs Bank of New York.  These interests own the Federal Reserve System through approximately three hundred stock holders, all of whom are known to each other and are sometimes related to each other. [Archibald E. Roberts, The Most Secret Science (Fort Collins: Betsy Ross Press, 1984) p.56]

   A great deal of bank maneuvering and deception surrounded the passage of the Federal Reserve Act.  The original proposal calling for a central bank operated by private interests was presented by Senator Nelson Aldrich (maternal grandfather of today’s Rockefeller Brothers) under the Aldrich Bill.  Congress, however, seeing through the hidden motives of those sponsoring the bill. . . voted the bill down with strong banking from the small bank lobby. A short time later, however, the same bill with only a few minor modifications was reintroduced under a different name and passed as the Federal Reserve Act (officially, the Owen-Glass Act).

(Four of the five were taught by John Dewey.)

   Those who had led the congressional opposition to the Aldrich Bill felt that the battle had been won and were guilty of letting their guard down.  Many of the individuals had already left for the Christmas holiday when the bill was reintroduced and rammed through Congress late evening on 23 December 1913.

   Because of the way in which the Federal Reserve System was designed by its founders, whoever controls the Federal Reserve Bank of New York essentially controls the system.  For all practical purposes the Federal Reserve Bank of New York “is” the Federal Reserve.  Currently, more than ninety of the one hundred largest banks in the United States are located within this district. 

   Class A stockholders control the system by owning the stock of the largest member banks in the New York Federal Reserve Bank.  The controlling interest is held by fewer than a dozen international banking establishments, only four of which are based in the United States.  The rest of the interests are European, with the most influential of these being the Rothschild family of London.  Each of the American interests are in some way connected to this family.  Included among these are the Rockefellers who are by far the most powerful of the Fed’s American stockholders.  (The Rockefeller holdings in the federal Reserve are primarily through the Chase Manhattan Bank.)

   The Rothschild family, I would later discover, has been allied with the Masonic Order (Freemasonry) since the late 1700’s.  At that time they were still a relatively small, although ambitious, banking concern based in Frankfurt, Germany.  By cooperating with the secret societies, however, the Rothschilds would be able to expand their banking operations into other European countries, benefiting from the extensive international business and political contacts of Freemasonry, which was already well established throughout the continent.  Freemasonry, on the other hand, needed money to finance its efforts to build a new world order, and the Rothschilds would be able to provide such funds.  Thus, each party would benefit from the other. 

      By the 1820’s, the Rothschilds had become the dominant banking family of Europe, controlling the fastest growing banking houses in France, England, Austria, Italy, and Germany.  Operations in these countries were overseen by the five Rothschild brothers, each of whom controlled a different country.  Those bankers who allied themselves with the Rothschild and the Masonic Order became wealthy in their own right.  Those who didn’t would find the going tough.

   During the late 1800s, the Rothschilds began to finance various American industrialists as well.  They would do so primarily through the Warburgs of Germany who were partners in Kuhn, Loeb, and company of New York. Press, 1985) p.65]  In this fashion, Rothschild/Masonic interests would gain a foothold in the administration of this country’s finances.  Both the Warburgs and Kuhn Loeb would later become principal stockholders in the Federal Reserve – with Paul Warburg becoming the first chairman of the Federal Reserve Board.  [J. P. Morgan, the famous banker, was a major ally of the Rothschilds as well.  His family had a long history of supporting international banking power stretching all the way back to Alexander Hamilton, who was the first U.S. Treasury Secretary and Morgan’s distant relative. Ralph Epperson, The Unseen Hand (Tucson: Publius Press, 1985), p. 165. ]

   Through their U.S. and European agents, the Rothschilds would go on to finance the Rockefeller Standard Oil dynasty, the Carnegie steel empire, as well as the Harriman railroad system. [Myron Fagan, Illuminati – CFR, Emissary publications, TP-107, 1968.  (Fagan was a well-known Hollywood film producer and playwright.  His lectures on the history and activities and activities of the Illuminati resulted from his personal experience with Illuminists who came to dominate key areas of the international motion picture industry.)]   The Rockefellers, who later became intermarried with the Carnegies, would go on to finance many of Rockefeller family banks. By the 1970s, the Rockefeller-controlled banks, which by this time America’s leading capitalists through Chase Manhattan and Citibank, both of which have long been included Chemical Bank, accounted for about 25 percent of all the assets of the fifty largest commercial banks in the country and for about 30 percent of the assets of the fifty largest life insurance companies. Gary Allen, The Rockefeller File (Seal Beach, CA: ’76 Press, 1976), pp. 29-31. (According to Professor James Knowles who prepared the detailed study “The Rockefeller Financial Group.”)]  Many of these capitalist families would also become intermarried with the Rockefellers so that by 1937 one could trace “an almost unbroken line of biological relationships from the Rockefellers through one-half of the wealthiest sixty families in the nation.” [William Hoffman, David (New York: Lyle Stuart, 1971), p.45 (according to information provided in the book America’s Sixty Families, by Ferdinand Lundberg, 1937).]

   Owing much of their wealth to the Rockefellers, these families have become loyal allies of "the family."  The Rockefellers, on the other hand, owing their colossal fortune to the Rothschilds, have for the most part remained loyal to them and their European interests.  As a result of this chain, much of America's corporate wealth is ultimately traceable to the old money of Europe and the one-world interests of Freemasonry.

   By 1890, Standard Oil of Ohio, owned by John D. Rockefeller, was refining 90 percent of all crude oil in the United States and had already begun its international expansion. [Allen, The Rockefeller File, p. 24.]  Although J.D. and his family were the subject of repeated congressional investigations because of antitrust violations and alleged conspiracy, the investigations had little effect on the family’s progress.  They always managed to stay a step or two ahead of the federal government.

   In 1911, for example, the Supreme Court ruled that Standard Oil of New Jersey was in violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Law. [“Exxon Corporation,” Moody’s Industrial Manual (New York” Moody’s Investors Service – A Dun & Bradstreet Corp.), 1986 ed. Vol. 1, 2823.]  The holding company was thereupon dissolved and its shares distributed among thirty-three companies in an attempt to break up the monopoly.  However, it soon became evident that all of the new companies were owned by the same people (John D. Rockefeller had 25 percent of the stock in each of the firms) “and there wasn’t a shred of competition among any of them.”  [William Hoffman, David, p.35.]   Offshoots of the original Standard Oil Trust included Standard Oil of New Jersey (today Exxon), Standard Oil of New York (today Mobil), Standard Oil of California, Standard Oil of Indiana, Standard Oil of Ohio (Sohio), Marathon, Phillips 66, and Chevron. [Allen, The Rockefeller File, p. 26.]

   In 1966, as a result of congressional investigations headed by Representative Wright Patman of Texas, it was discovered that four of the world’s seven largest oil companies were under the control of the Rockefeller family.  [Ibid., pp. 26-33; and Hoffman, David, p. 121.] According to an earlier New York Times report, the largest of these, Standard Oil of New Jersey (Exxon) alone controlled 321 other companies, including Humble Oil and Venezuela’s Creole Petroleum, themselves among the largest corporations in the world. [Gary Allen, Rockefeller – Campaigning for the New World Order (Belmont, MA: American Opinion, 1974), p. 15.]  By 1975, the Rockefellers had gained control of the single largest block of stock in Atlantic Richfield (ARCO) and were believed to be in control of Texaco as well.  [Allen, The Rockefeller File, pp. 32-33.]  It was also discovered that the Rockefellers were operating major joint ventures with Royal Dutch Shell, which was already in the hands of European one-world interests. [Allen, Rockefeller – Campaigning for the New World Order, p. 15.]

   Ever since the founding of the Federal Reserve System, consistent efforts have been made by conservative congressional leaders to put a stop to the Fed and the forces behind it, with each decade producing at least one valiant attempt to expose the conjspiracy.  Congressman Charles Lindberg Sr., father of the famous aviator, was among those who fought the passage of the Act and later conducted an investigation into the cartel.  His life was made difficult as a result.

   At the time the Federal Reserve Act was passed, Lindbergh warned:

   This act establishes the most gigantic trust on earth.

   When the President [Wilson] signs this bill the invisible

   government of Monetary Power will be legalized . . .

    the worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated

   by this banking and currency bill.

[Cathrine B. Dalton, Constitutional Money and the Banking Procedure (Oreana, IL: Illinois Committee to Restore the Constitution, 1985), p.4.]

   Lindbergh’s efforts to expose the plot were followed by those of Congressman Louis McFadden who chaired the House Banking and Currency Committee for ten years during the 1920s and 30s.  Three attempts were made on his life.  First, he was shot in Washington, DC.  Then his food was poisoned.  The third attempt was unfortunately successful.  His mysterious death occurred while on a visit to New York City.  The cause of death on his death certificate was given as “heart failure,” although it is widely believed that he had been poisoned.

   During the 1950’s, Congressman Carroll Reece of Tennessee headed what became known as the Reece Committee, which conducted a thorough investigation of the major tax-exempt foundations linked to the international money cartel.  The investigation centered on those foundations and trusts controlled by the Rockefellers, Fords, and Carnegies, as well as the Guggenheim foundations.  The findings regarding the wealth and power of these institutions were so overwhelming that many in Congress found the information difficult to believe.

   During the 1960’s and the early 1970’s, Congressman Wright Patman of Texas would also look into manipulation by foundations and the Federal Reserve.  Using his influence as Chairman of the House Banking Committee, and later, as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy, he repeatedly tried to expose the one-world plot by calling for audits of the Federal Reserve and even trying to have the Federal Reserve Act repealed.  However, the findings of each of his committees, for some strange reason, were unable to attract any attention from the media.  Patman, like those who had gone before him, frequently vented his frustration over this lack of coverage.  On one occasion he stated, “Our exposes of the Federal Reserve are shocking and scandalous, but they are only printed in the daily Congressional Record, which is read by very few people.” [Dr. John Coleman, The Federal Reserve Bank, Greatest Swindle in History, pp. 26-27.]

   In the 70s and 80s, Congressman Larry McDonald would be the one to spearhead efforts against the New World Order.  In 1976 he wrote the introduction to The Rockefeller File, a book exposing the Rockefellers’ financial holdings and secret intentions.  The book revealed that the Rockefellers had as many as 200 trusts and foundations and that the actual number of foundations controlled by the family might number in the thousands.  Such control is possible because Rockefeller banks, such as Chase Manhattan, have become the trustees for many other U.S. foundations as well, possessing the right to invest and to vote the stock of these institutions through the bank’s trust department.  McDonald warned the American public with the following statement:

   “The Rockefeller File is not fiction.  It is a compact, powerful and frightening presentation of what may be the most important story of our lifetime – the drive of the Rockefellers and their allies to create a one-world government combining super-capitalism and Communism under the same tent, all under their control.

  “For more than one hundred years, since the days when John D. Rockefeller Sr. used every devious strategy he could devise to create a gigantic oil monopoly, enough books have been written about the Rockefellers to fill a library.  I have read many of them.  And to my knowledge, not one has dared to reveal the most vital part of the Rockefeller story:  that the Rockefellers and their allies have, for at least fifty years, been carefully following a plan to use their economic power to gain political control of first America, and then the rest of the world.

   “Do I mean conspiracy?  Yes I do.  I am convinced there is

   McDonald’s warning was written on congressional letterhead dated November 1975.  During the years that followed, frustrated by the media’s refusal to report his findings, he began to take his message to the streets by speaking out against these forces publically throughout the country.  McDonald’s courageous efforts, however, came to an abrupt end on 31 August 1983 when he was killed aboard the Korean Airlines 007 flight which “accidentally” strayed over Soviet airspace and was “accidentally” shot down.

   Media reporting on this event was scant and short-lived; and as a result, the incident was soon forgotten.  Even though his activities were widely known among the media on Capitol Hill, not a single mention was publically made about the fact that McDonald had been heading a congressional effort to expose what he called a dangerous international conspiracy.  Had this fact been made known to the American people, it would have completely altered the way in which we viewed this incident.

   The chance of a U.S. congressman being aboard a commercial airliner shot down by the Soviet military is less than one in a million.  Depending on the variables entered into the equation, it may be closer to one in a billion. Yet we are expected to believe that the recent deaths of Sen. John  Heinz and former Sen. John Tower in two separate plane crashes were a coincidence as well.

   Tower had been an outspoken critic of the Eastern Establsihment (a term frequently used by conservative lawmakers to describe one-world interests).  Although Tower had himself been associated with various one-world organizations, he also had a strong sense of right and wrong, particularly on matters concerning our national security, and was known for bucking the tide.  This backfired when certain members of Congress, loyal to the one-world cause, banded together against him in a smear campaign resulting in the denial of Tower’s confirmation as U.S. Secretary of Defense.  Outraged over the undocumented allegations made to slander his name, Tower set out to write a book telling his side of the story.  His controversial book, which heavily criticizes his adversaries in Congress, was published recently.  His plane crash on 5 April 1991 came shortly after the books release.

   One day earlier (4 April), Senator John Heinz died in a fiery plane crash near Philadelphia.  The plane’s landing gear had suddenly malfunctioned.  A helicopter was sent up as a result, allegedly to check out the gear, only to end up crashing into the plane itself.  Two freak accidents in one – first the landing gear fails, then the rescue aircraft slams into the plane.

   Heinz and Tower had both been members of a prominent one-world society known as the Council on Foreign Relations.  They had also served on powerful Senate banking and finance committees and knew a great deal about these matters.  Could they have known too much?  Although accidents do happen, how much longer are we supposed to believe that all of these are mere coincidence?

   Since the earlier death of Congressman Larry McDonald, Senator Jesse Helms has led efforts to expose the plot.  Thus far, nothing has happened to him.  The vivid remarks and statements of Senator Helms, like those of his predecessors, have been entered into the Congressional Record without receiving any network coverage.  The only attention Helms manages to get is in the form of public ridicule over his conservative voting record.

   During the 1960s and 70s, thanks to the efforts of Congressmen Wright Patman, Larry McDonald, and others, the message had begun to reach the American people.  Action groups were formed by various citizens in an urgent attempt to get this information into the hands of the public.  However, without coverage from the media, their efforts have had only limited results, as these groups have been forced to rely primarily on newsletters, privately published books, and unpublicized speaking engagements to get the word out.

  Lt. Col. Archibald Roberts is one individual who has made an inmpact.  As Director of the Committee to Restore the Constitution, he began testifying before state legislatures informing our elected officials at the state level about the deception surrounding the Federal Reserve.  His campaign, urging state legislatures to repeal the Federal Reserve Act, was launched on 30 March 1971 when he testified before the Wisconsin House of Representatives.  The text of Roberts’ address was subsequently entered in the Congressional Record on 19 April 1971 (E3212-E3224) by Louisiana Congressman John Rarick.

   As a result of Roberts’ work in which he was assisted by Washington State Senator Jack Metcalf and a number of supporting groups, by the mid-1980s approximately twenty states had taken action to pass legislation calling either for an audit of the Federal Reserve or for the repeal of the Federal Reserve Act.  However, there still has been virtually no media coverage and the American public is still largely unaware of the intense battle going on behind the scenes.

   By the late 1980s, the battle being waged at the state level had once again reached Congress.  Representative Henry Gonzales of Texas introduced House Resolution 1469, calling for abolition of the Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve System, and then H.R. 1470, calling for the repeal of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.  During the same session, Representative Phil Crane of Illinois introduced H.R. 70, calling for an annual audit of the Federal Reserve.  However, all of these efforts, like those of others before them, have failed for want of public attention.

   It is difficult to get the public behind a legitimate cause or issue if the media refuse to cover it.  This coverage is necessary in order to get the public to put the kind of pressure on Congress that will lead to action.  This is particularly true of a Congress in which one-world interests now hold the upper hand.

   As I continued my research, I discovered more specifics on how one-world was being used to influence society.

   Each year billions of dollars are “earned” by Class A stockholders of the Federal Reserve.  These profits come at the expense of the U.S. government and American citizens paying interest on their bank loans, a portion of which ends up going to the Federal Reserve.  Much of this money, along with annual profits stemming from hundreds of corporations and banks owned by these same interests, is then funneled into tax-exempt foundations where it is then re-invested into American and foreign corporations and used to further influence our economy.  In this fashion, a small group of people apparently dedicated to the establishment of world government has gained considerable influence over global activity.

   It is no coincidence that the forces responsible for the founding of the Federal Reserve were also responsible for the passage of laws permitting the creation of tax-exempt foundations.  Private foundations were intended to serve as tax shelters for the enormous wealth generated by the international banking cartel. They have also come in handy for the purpose of funding major think-tanks, which influence virtually every aspect of American life from education to foreign policy, management of natural resources, medicine and population control.

   The Reece Committee discovered the greatest influence of the Rockefeller-Carnegie-Ford foundations to be in the areas of social sciences, public education, and international affairs via contributions of huge sums of money to secondary or intermediary foundations which then selected the ultimate recipients of grant money and research funds.  Among the secondary foundations investigated by the Reece Committee and its legal counsel, Rene Wormser, were the National Education Association, the John Dewey Society, the United Nations Association, and the Council on Foreign Relations.

   The committee’s goal was to find out where the major foundation money was really going.  In the area of social sciences, for example, the committee discovered that the Rockefeller Foundation was financing Dr. Alfred Kinsey’s studies on sexual behavior through the National Research Council.  Kinsey used these funds to produce his series of unscientific reports promoting sexual freedom (promiscuity). [Rene A. Wormser, Foundations – Their Power and Influence (New York: The Devin-Adair Company, 1958) pp. 32, 100-105.]  If you attended a college or university, there is a high probability that you took at least one class which espoused the findings and teachings of the Kinsey Institute, presenting them as if they were fact.  I know I did!

   The field of education is another area that the Rockefeller alliance has attempted to dominate through its foundation money.  In fact, few, if any, of the major education associations have escaped the grasp of these international forces.  The Reece Committee found that the National Education Association (and numerous other education organizations) was producing and promoting curricula that advocated socialism and globalism with the intent of preparing students for a one-world society.  So extensive is foundation control over the field of education, an entire book could be written on just this one topic.

   However, no area has been more influence by foundation activity than the field of foreign affairs.  The cartel has been able to further its global agenda in this area through political think-tanks such as the United Nations Association, the Institute for Pacific Relations, and the Council on Foreign Relations, to name just a few.  Rene Wormser of the Reece Committee stated that the influence of the major foundations had “reached far into government, into the policymaking circles of Congress and into the State Department. [Ibid. p.201.]  He went on to explain how this had been accomplished.

“This has been effected through the pressure of public opinion, mobilized by the instruments of the foundations; through the promotion of foundation-favorites as teachers and experts in foreign affairs; through a domination of the learned journals in international affairs; through the frequent appointment of State Department officials to foundation jobs; and through the frequent appointment of foundation officials to State Department Jobs.” [Ibid.]

   Wormser also revealed that at least one foreign foundation was allied with the major U.S. foundations in shaping our foreign policy.  This institution originated with Cecil Rhodes, the famous British industrialist and globalist.  Rhodes, who was a close ally of the Rothschilds and European Freemasonry, made his fortune in the diamond mines of South Africa off the sweat and blood of black slaves.  A ruthless tyrant by nature, within a few short years during the 1870s and 80s, he had gained control of nearly all the diamond production in the world.  Rhodes used his wealth liberally to advance the cause of world government.  Following his death, his colossal fortune would continue to be used to promote globalism through the Rhodes Scholarship Fund.

   As Wormser summarized the influence of the Rhodes Scholar Program as follows:

  “Of a total of 1,372 American Rhodes scholars up to 1953, 431 held or hold positions in teaching and educational administration (among them 31 college presidents); 113 held government positions; 70 held positions in press and radio; and 14 were executives in other foundations.” [Ibid.]

   At the time of the Reece Committee Investigations the president of the Rockefeller Foundation, the director of the Guggenheim Foundation, and the former president of the Carnegie Foundation were all Rhodes Scholars.

   More recently, the Nobel prize has been used in a similar fashion to generate free publicity for one-world darlings.  The Nobel Committee has assisted the cartel’s efforts by consistently awarding a high percentage of prizes to people recognized for their globalistic views.

   Since the time of these investigations, the influence of one-world foundations in the areas of social science, education, and foreign policy has only accelerated, accomplishing so much because of minimal foundation-supported opposition.  Since they were the ones who pushed for the legalization of tax-exempt foundations and were therefore the first to establish them, they were able to get off to a tremendous head start.  Even if a sizable foundation-sponsored opposition were to develop, it would only be on a small scale compared to the efforts of the cartel’s mega-foundations.  The one-world conspiracy, I believe, will always have more power in this world because of the devious strategies they are willing to employ to accumulate money and then to manipulate others with it.
