I grant that the world is awash in competing conspiracies, plots, and secret dealings, most of which are poorly recorded and dimly understood by history. Yet they are rarely an independent motive force and commonly act as arrangers and artificers at the margins of great events and large forces. American corporations simply did not -- and could not -- create communism and install it in power in Russia.
Moreover, in politics, conspiracy mongering tends to produce a toxic environment in which the focus is on personalities instead of policy issues. Indeed, in the practical politics of campaigns and elections, conspiracy minded types tend to be time wasting nuisances.
My point is that conspiracy mongers are on to something and we need to investigate openly and above board to understand the control lines and policy impacts that these globalist Bilderburger type cabals create and enforce. Why do they meet? Why are their meetings highly secretive with insane amounts of security? Who was the “Liberal Eastern Establishment” that the John Birch Society preached against almost as much as they preached against communism? For years J. Edgar Hoover refused to acknowledge that such a thing as the Italian Mafia existed. That sort of blindness and dark operations is what I’m talking about.
No, I am referring to Sutton’s book arguing that Yale’s Skull and Bones society more or less ran the US government and to his writings asserting that in the 70s and 80s, US bankers and businessmen deliberately boosted the Soviet economy and military strength.
