An Historical Perspective of Global Corporatism or Fascism
This article by Peter D. Goodgame I happened onto a couple of years ago...when I first heard that the Federal Reserve was not actually 'Federal' at all but was factually a private organization made up of a global cartel of financiers and bankers basically accountable to no one. This was very much news to me, so I dug into it more deeply and began to unravel the facts and connect the dots that has now become much more mainstream in its general knowledge, acceptance, and credibility.
My degree was in history but this was certainly not the type of history lesson I received in college or in high school. I initially chalked this up to flimsiness and no real basis in fact, but as our current events have played out and are now playing out, I'm realizing that what I received from University was more like propaganda and brainwashing as opposed to anything factual. The superficial information may have been factual enough, but the roots of the problem were minimized, glossed over or completely covered up...or blamed on some other scapegoat. So this essay has been a sort of bridge for me to grasp the elusive events that continue to unfold around us today... many of which have left me dumbfounded and perplexed in the past...but are now becoming more clearly understood.
I don't subscribe to much that's on his website or various other websites relating to the end times and prophesy, etc. which is why I've been wary to refer others to this essay, although he resists getting into that until the final section 7 that I didn't reference. I also do not subscribe to 'conspiracy' theories revolving around blaming events on the 'Jews' or the 'Jesuits' or the 'Vatican'...and certainly not on UFO's. My personal opinion is that these groups (with the exception of UFOs - which, IMHO, don't exist) certainly contribute to the abuses, but the over-arching problems can't be boiled down that selectively. However, I will say that from what I've seen, the stuff on UFOs is manufactured in Hollywood and/or Disney as a way to create panic and play on people's general propensity or susceptibility toward superstition. I'll also say that I can maintain that certain philosophies or ideologies support, perpetuate, and defend particular actions or reactions done on large and small scales around the world throughout history. I think it's imperative that we understand these philosophies, too, otherwise we don't really get to the motives or the assumptions that under-gird the outward behaviors.
So as time has gone by, I have yet to find in all my searches over the past couple of years anything that brings these various other historical elements together so cohesively and concisely. I just keep finding myself referring back to it at various times. Months will go by and something will crop up...sure enough I check back with something I read that was included in this essay...in one section or another. Or it gives me threads that lead me to find more pertinent info elsewhere. In all of this, just try to keep an open mind and challenge, like I've had to, the usual assumptions that we've all believed to be true or to be reality. I don't necessarily agree with all of his foregone conclusions either. I choose to believe that as the Bible states, "the prayers of a righteous man avail much" and the proceding chapters of this epoch still remain to be seen.
So here it is...for whatever it's worth..and for whatever you might be able to glean from it.
American Babylon-Rise and Fall-
This study is a comprehensive historical/political analysis of the United States of America, and of the powers that have controlled her since the early twentieth century. Our nation was born in a struggle against Empire, and we existed for over a century as an example and leader around the world against the oppression that Empire represented. However, a change took place. We were seduced and then intoxicated by the lure of luxury and riches, and we became an agent for Empire, and then an Empire ourselves.
The Introduction of this study simply puts forth the fact that the world has undergone a massive change, and that a New World Order has already arrived. It is a New World Order that is dominated by the merchants and financiers who, from their power base in New York City, continue to erode sovereign nations around the world in their blind pursuit for profit. Christians must address this present New World Order, and American Christians, many of whom have been duped into supporting it, must take a step back and reevaluate their basic values and their deeply held political prejudices.
Part One explains the wickedness behind the global financial system that now dominates. It is based on greed, period. However, Americans can be encouraged by the fact that traditional American ideals used to be much more clear and pure. We used to champion an economic system based on human development and progress, and we saw through the false and destructive lure of Empire. We can take pride in the past, and we deserve to and should, because we were once the world's greatest expression of liberty. If only America would recognize those ideals we still might realize our potential to lead the world in a positive direction.
Part Two explains where things went wrong, but it also brings forth an unlikely hero, at least from the usual Conservative viewpoint, in the fight against Empire. Many will question my perspective on the career of FDR, but it must be conceded that he played an instrumental role in dismantling the British Empire, offering oppressed people around the world at least a brief chance to realize freedom. In this he was a true American. However, when FDR died things went wrong, and the profit-minded Establishment that surrounded him was able to dominate Truman and chart a course once again for Empire.
Part Three explains some of the events that took place as America consolidated its Empire. The Cold War was, for all intents and purposes, a sham, a charade, a smokescreen, that allowed the American merchant and banking Establishment to expand their influence and pad their profits. As this study covers American involvement in the Third World we will introduce various members of the so-called "American Establishment." Men like Allen and John Foster Dulles, John J. McCloy, David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger and George Bush. Their connection to the international bankers and merchants will be explained and their roles in sponsoring oppression and destroying Democracy will be highlighted. We'll also take a good look at an aberration, the brief respite the world felt while JFK led the nation. The longer he remained in power the more Wall Street became frustrated. And so they killed him.
Part Four examines the history of the Anglo-American goal of a single world government, and it examines the Council on Foreign Relations as a branch of the faction dedicated to that goal. The CFR is revealed as one of the most effective institutions pursuing the Anglo-American objective of "gradually absorbing the wealth of the world," and its role as a promoter of the international merchants and of free market economics against the sovereignty of nations is highlighted.
Part Five is perhaps the most important section of this study and should be read by all Conservatives who believe that only Capitalism and the "free market" can save us from tyranny. The opposite is true. The future totalitarian one world government is being built on the back of unrestricted Capitalism, which has been the stated goal of some of the most revered "free market" economists of the twentieth century. This section will also reveal that "conservative economics" is only ultra-liberalism in disguise, and has been from the beginning. Its champions have always viewed the Judeo-Christian ethic of brotherly love and moral restraint as their greatest enemy.
Part Six demonstrates why the Establishment has pushed "Conservative" economics as the system of choice, and will show that in the past few decades this system, working hand in hand with the IMF, World Bank, and World Trade Organization, has succeeded in bringing about the greatest theft of real wealth, from the poor into the hands of the super-rich, that this world has ever seen.
