Conspiracy theories - believed in by loonies?

Simon | 01.04.2013 17:05 | Globalisation | Public sector cuts | Social Struggles | London | World

Many of the Left ridicule and laugh at people who say that a powerful global elite are engaged in a conspiracy. Johnny Void’s blog did this recently. I would thoroughly recommend his blog for people concerned about the attack on society and particularly the poor that this Tory-Lib Den Coalition is engaged in. But he too mocks conspiracy theory.

- But what am I ignorant of? A bunch of random facts cobbled together and mixed with a bit of hocus and a whole bunch of pocus.

- Okay done being nice. My reaction to your reaction:
Fuck off trollsnob.

- Conspiracy floaters.
So that’s what’s bobbing around in the bog.
I thought it was shit.

- now do us all a favour and fuck off trollbreath.

- After a weekend of crap in the press about welfare reforms I am in less of a mood to tolerate your nonsensical babblings about signs in the sky.

Quotes on conspiracy
Woodrow Wilson: “Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.” ( http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Woodrow_Wilson)

British Prime Minister Benjamin , 1876: “The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, kings and ministers, but also with the secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the last moment upset all the governments’ plans. ”

P325, Tragedy and Hope, Carroll Quigley (mentor of Bill Clinton)
The power of the Bank of England and of its governor was admitted by most qualified observers. In January 1924, Reginald McKenna, who had been chancellor of the Exchequer in 1915-1916, as chairman of the board of the Midland Bank told its stocholders: “I am afraid the ordinary citizen will not like to be told that the banks can, and do, create money…And they who control the credit of the nation direct the policy of Governments and hold in the hollow of their hands the destiny of people.”

New York City Mayor John F. Hylan, 1922: “The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self created screen….At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties.”

Dr. Henry Kissinger, Bilderberger Conference, Evians, France, 1991: “Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order [referring to the 1991 LA Riot]. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond [i.e., an "extraterrestrial" invasion], whether real or *promulgated* [emphasis mine], that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this *scenario*, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government.”

David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, in an address to a meeting of The Trilateral Commission, in June, 1991: “We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much 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 autodetermination practiced in past centuries.”

Council on Foreign Reltaions member Richard Gardner, writing in the April 1974 issue of the CFR’s journal, Foreign Affairs: “The New World Order will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down…but in the end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal assault.”

J. Edgar Hoover, former head of the FBI: “The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists”.

Dr. Johannes B. Koeppl, PhD, former German defense ministry official and advisor to former NATO Secretary-General Manfred Werner, November 6, 2001: “The interests behind the Bush Administration, such as the CFR, the Bilderberger Group, and the Trilateral Commission – founded by Brzezinski for David Rockefeller – have prepared for and are now moving to implement open world dictatorship within the next five years. They are not fighting against terrorists. They are fighting against citizens.”
