The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim, 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. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements, arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the worlds' central banks which were themselves private corporations. The growth of financial capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic control and use of this power for the direct benefit of financiers and the indirect injury of all other economic groups. - Tragedy and Hope: A History of The World in Our Time (Macmillan Company, 1966), Professor Carroll Quigley of Georgetown University, highly esteemed by his former student, William Jefferson Blythe Clinton.

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is the American branch of a society which originated in England ... and ... believes national boundaries should be eliminated and one-world rule established. - Tragedy and Hope, Carroll Quigley

Once the ruling members of the CFR have decided that the U.S. government should espouse a particular policy, the very substantial research facilities of the CFR are put to work to develop arguments, intellectual and emotional, to support the new policy and to confound, discredit, intellectually and politically, any opposition... - Kissinger on the Couch, Phyllis Schlafly and former CFR member Chester Ward

We are grateful to the Washington Post, the NY Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings, and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years. It would have been impossible for us to develop 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. - David Rockefeller CFR Kingpin & Founder of the Trilateral Commission, June 1991

For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it. - David Rockefeller,
Memoirs , 2002

David Rockefeller is the most conspicuous representative today of the ruling class, a multinational fraternity of men who shape the world economy and manage the flow of its capital. Rockefeller was born to it, and he has made the most of it. But what some critics see as a vast international conspiracy, he considers a circumstance of life and just another day’s work … In the world of David Rockefeller it is hard to tell where business ends and politics begins. - Bill Moyers

It is pretended that, as in the Preamble to the Constitution, it is “we the people” who wrote that document, rather than fifty-five privileged white males whose class interest required a strong central government.  That use of government for class purposes, to serve the needs of the wealthy and powerful, has continued throughout American history, down to the present day. - Howard Zinn

In government, whose invisible footprints do you think are leading us to
where today ?
