Right after World War II, the U.S. Communist Party had difficulty getting instructions from Moscow on several vital matters requiring immediate attention.
The American Communist hierarchy was told that at any time they had an emergency of this kind, they should contact any one of three designated person at the Waldorf Towers. Dr. Dodd noted that whenever the Party obtained instructions from any of these three men, Moscow always ratified themBut not one of these three contacts was a Russian, nor were any of them Communists. In fact, all three were extremely wealthy American Capitalists.
When Harry Dexter White (Under-Secretary of the U.S. Treasury during World War II) was discovered by the FBI to be a Soviet agent, the White House was immediately informed. But instead of being fired or arrested, Harry Dexter White was appointed as the new Executive Director of the U.S. Mission to the International Monetary Fund of the United Nations. He was also given a substantial increase in salary. J. Edgar Hoover was amazed. Attorney General Herbert Brownell, Jr. stated publicly that President Truman knew White was a Soviet spy when he made the appointment.
It was not long after this that the former chairman of the Federal Reserve Board began advocating economic aid and comfort to Communist China. His speech was all the more shocking because the American people had just been jolted by a Congressional hearing in which it had been shown with sworn testimony that the U.S. State Department had either recklessly allowed or deliberately propelled six hundred million Chinese allies into the grip of the Communist Chinese leaders. Nevertheless, here was this American capitalist (and former chairman of the Federal Reserve Board) telling a large meeting that the United States should immediately undertake extensive trade with Red China. Said he,
“We never fight the people we trade with.”
…the massive swing to the Left in Central and South America was being financed by certain American banks. The political regimes which these American banks supported were often virtual dictators who promoted socialism and engaged in the confiscation of privately-owned industries, including American Industries…dictators were wiping out wealth-producing industries operating under private enterprise and placing everything under government ownership or tight socialist control.
Dr. Carroll Quigley Writes a Book on the World’s Secret Power Structure
Dr. Carroll Quigley was a professor of history at the Foreign Service School of Georgetown University. He formerly taught at Princeton and Harvard. He has done research in the archives of France, Italy and England. He is the author of the widely known text ‘Evolution of Civilizations‘.Why did Dr. Quigley write ‘Tragedy and Hope‘? When Dr. Quigley decided to write his 1,300 page book called ‘Tragedy And Hope’, he knew he was deliberately exposing one of the best kept secrets in the world. His answer appears in a number of places but is especially forceful and clear on pages 979-980. He says, in effect, that it is now too late for the little people to turn back the tide he is therefore urging them not to fight the noose which is already around their necks. He feels certain that those who do will only choke themselves to death. On the other hand, those who go along with the immense pressure which is beginning to be felt by all humanity will eventually find themselves in a man-made millennium of peace and prosperity. All through his book, Dr. Quigley assures us that we can trust these benevolent, well-meaning men who are secretly operating behind the scenes.
..Dr. Quigley assures us that this type of global power structure is on the verge of becoming a total reality. He points out that during the past two centuries when the peoples of the world were gradually winning their political freedom from the dynastic monarchies, the major banking families of Europe and America were actually reversing the trend by setting up new dynasties of political control through the formation of international financial combines.
These banking dynasties had learned that all governments must have sources of revenue from which to borrow in time of emergency. By providing such funds from their own private resources, they could make both kings and democratic leaders tremendously subservient to their will. It had proven to be a most effective means of controlling political appointments and deciding political issues.
Carroll Quigley wrote:
“The greatest of these dynasties, of course, were the descendants of Meyer Amschel Rothschild (1743-1812) of Frankfort, whose male descendants, for at least two generations, generally married first cousins or even nieces. Rothschild’s five sons, established at branches in Vienna, London, Naples and Paris, as well as Frankfort, cooperated together in ways which other international banking dynasties copied but rarely excelled…”“Other banking families are:
Baring,
Lazard,
Erlanger,
Warburg,
Schroder,
Selingman,
the speyers,
Mirabaud,
Mallet,
Fould and
Morgan.”Dr. Quigley identifies this group as the “International Bankers“, they were close to governments and were particularly concerned with questions of government debts, their interests where almost exclusively in bonds and very rarely in goods, they were, accordingly, fanatical devotees of deflation and devoted to secrecy and the secret use of financial influence in political life. These bankers came to be called ‘international bankers’ and, more particularly, were known as “merchant bankers” in England, “private bankers” in France, “investment bankers” in the United States of America…”
“..the highest centers of political and economic power have been forcing the entire human race toward a global, socialist, dictatorial-oriented society. And what has been most baffling about it has been the fact that this drift toward dictatorship with its inevitable obliteration of a thousand year of struggle toward human freedom, is being plotted, promoted and implemented by the leaders of free nations and the super-rich of those nations whose positions of affluence would seem to make them the foremost beneficiaries of the free-enterprise, property-oriented, open society in which so much progress has been made. But since we all think that in order for this system to survive, freedom of action and integrity of property rights must be preserved, why are the super-capitalists trying to destroy them?
According to Quigley, the world hierarchy of the dynastic super-rich is out to take over the entire planet, doing it with Socialistic legislation where possible, but having no reluctance to use Communist revolution where necessary.
There is no slave more devoted nor disciple more dedicated than the man who has become completely obsessed with the vision of what he considers to be a great idea: “””how to take over and control the resources of the world for the good of humanity.”””
Quigley bluntly confesses that the International Bankers who had set out to remake the world were perfectly confident that they could use their money to acquire the cooperation and eventual control of the Communist-Socialist conspiratorial groups. In fact, John Ruskin of Oxford had persuaded the original Rhodes-Milner Round Table Groups that the way to federate the world was along socialistic lines, i.e., by having
all property,
industry,
agriculture,
communications,
transportation,
education and
political affairsin the hands of a small cadre of financially controlled political leaders who would organize the world and its peoples in a way which would compel everyone to do what was good for the new world-society.
“…the power-hungry political conspirators who were committed to the overthrow of all existing governments and the establishments of a central world-wide dictatorship along socialist lines…”
All political movements have been always starved for funds and eager for a voice to reach the people. Wall Street supplied both. The purpose was not to destroy, dominate or take over but was really threefold:
1) to keep informed about the thinking of Left-wing or liberal groups;
2) to provide them with a mouthpiece so that they could “blow the steam”;
3) to have a final veto on their publicity and possibly on their actions, if they ever went “radical”.
