Regarding the print media, David Rockefeller is reported to have said at a CFR meeting, " 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.
From Schiafly and Ward's Kissinger on the Couch, "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".
The Hoover Institution's Antony Sutton has written, "While monopoly control of industries was once the objective of J.P. Morgan and J.D. Rockefeller (who once claimed competition was a sin), by the late nineteenth century the inner sanctums of Wall Street understood the most efficient way to gain an unchallenged monopoly was to "go political' and make society go to work for the monopolists--under the name of public good and the public interest."
The American Liberty League (ALL): Retired marine, Major General Smedley D. Butler was asked to organize the WWI veterans that had marched on Washington demanding immediate early payment of their bonuses. A coup was envisioned that would remove the president, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Major General Butler refused to cooperate and would later provide Congressional testimony that would implicate the ALL. The coup plotters were apparently unaware of Butler's disdain for banking, business, government, and military collusion. In his book, War is a Racket, he wrote:
"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street, and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902 - 1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."
The ALL was formed in 1934 to counter FDR's 'radical' New Deal legislation; what historians call the '3 Rs': relief for the unemployed and poor; recovery of the economy to normal levels; and reform of the financial system to prevent a repeat depression. The main backers were the Du Pont family, as well as leaders of U.S. Steel, General Motors, General Foods, Colgate, Heinz Foods, Standard Oil, Chase National Bank, and Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. The BBC documentary The Whitehouse Coup, alleges that Prescott Bush, father/grandfather to the 41st and 43rd U.S. presidents respectively, was also connected.
Following Congressional hearings before the McCormack-Dickstein Committee, no prosecutions followed despite the committees' report showing they believed Butler's allegations. Some have suggested that FDR traded a no prosecution deal to obtain support for his New Deal programs including the Wagner Act to promote labor unions and the Social Security Act.
By 1940, the ALL had faded from existence.
In part 4, the significance of the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference, the United Nations, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Bilderberg Group to "the new world order" will be discussed.
