So much of what we read today is information about information with very little new core information to help move the general discourse in consequential ways or to increase understanding in meaningful ways. We seem destined to go over and over the information we are provided by the many gatekeepers of truth and knowledge; or if we question the ‘well-established facts’ with conjecture we are sentenced to be categorized under the weaponized term of ‘Conspiracy Theorist‘. The information provided in the book below, brings new light and new understanding based on 20 years of meticulous work and two years examining the secret papers of the ‘Network’ by an Ivy League Historian named Carroll Quigley.
I have read many books, but one stands out as a watershed moment, marking a turning point in my understanding of current events and geopolitics. There are many more important books that buttress and deepen my understanding, but without the detailed, hard, irrefutable information contained in this book, I don’t see how anyone can make sense of the drama we see unfolding each and every day in modern politics. Many are looking for the rhyme or reason behind so many unexplainable events that they are left with analyzing the effects around the cause; yet never being able to directly observe the hand that moves the larger pieces in this very important puzzle. Many react by playing within the boundaries of generally accepted ‘fact-claims’ that I compare to pop-culture, only in this case I’d call it ‘pop-news’ or ‘pop-history’. In short, they live within a bubble, not knowing there is a ‘whole other world’ out there and that knowledge of this ‘other world’ is in fact the real world in which they prattle their life away. We have many extremely brilliant people who have been caught up in this bubble of acceptable historical assumptions using their brilliance to go over and over the facts as they see them with new analysis and brilliant logic only to wind up where they started within the same bubble –constrained by generally accepted assumptions– never having the courage or more importantly the knowledge to question the fundamental assumptions upon which ALL their logic is based. For if your assumptions are wrong, of what benefit is the logic based thereon?
So herein lies my frustration with the brilliant minds of people like Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved and others. They are well-read, brilliant analysts, yet they constantly miss the mark. Why? Because they don’t have the information contained in Carroll Quigley’s ‘The Anglo-American Establishment’. Published in 1981 and covering a short history between 1897 and 1945; how relevant could this small book of 345 pages be to what we face today? Well, it is very relevant because it gives a heretofore and a once in a life-time unknown, authentic and irrefutable peek into the real work and machinations of the unseen hand we have all been looking for as the causative factor in the otherwise irrational behavior of the established power and forces loose on today’s global stage. It unabashedly with cold hard fact identifies the names, dates, strategies and tactics employed by this unseen hand which has birthed much of the power structure we are unable to see in today’s world. Without this understanding, you cannot understand the importance of the bankers financing both sides of a war; or how our historians are carefully selected and funded; or how our political leaders are picked and groomed; or the importance of the Milner Group; or Cecil Rhodes and the Rhodes Scholarship; or the origins of the CFR and its older sister the RIIA; or the power it wields today. In short, you cannot understand anything. You can have brilliant analysis, but until you possess the knowledge that your assumptions –upon which all your logic is based– are entirely wrong, you cannot hope to understand.
