Carroll Quigley - Our Tragedy and Their Hope

I want to bring you some quotes from Carroll Quigley, who for many years got access to the archives at The Council on Foreign Relations which resulted in his massive book on history seen from the CFR/International Bankers perspective.
This is without any doubt the most important book you can ever read in order to understand how the elite controls the world from behind the curtain.

- The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers.

- When the business interests... pushed through the first installment of civil service reform in 1883, they expected that they would be able to control both political parties equally.

- The history of the last century shows, as we shall see later, that the advice given to governments by bankers, like the advice they gave to industrialists, was consistently good for bankers, but was often disastrous for governments, businessmen, and the people generally.

- There were people who said the Society of Cincinnati in the American revolution, of which George Washington was one of the shining lights, was a branch of the Illuminati.

- The use of fiat money is more justifiable in financing a depression than in financing a war.

- The powers of financial capitalism had (a) 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 meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world.
