The World in our Time – Part 2
TimeWatch Editorial
November 29, 2015

In our last editorial, we began to look at a book written by Carroll Quigley and published in 1966 entitled “Tragedy and Hope.” It is certainly my opinion, that the fact that it reached bookstore at all was an error by the masters, who would have, (or should have) done everything possible to prevent such a complete revelation of things they way they really exist. The basis of this opinion of course is borne out by a speech presented by President John Fitzgerald Kennedy before the American Newspaper Publishers Association, April 27, 1961. Here is the relevant excerpt:

“We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.” President John Fitzgerald Kennedy before the American Newspaper Publishers Association, April 27, 1961.

There are those who are convinced that John F. Kennedy was killed, because of that speech. Those who are so convinced have supported their point of view with a plethora of arguments. We will not deal with those thoughts in this article, but simply report the fact that five years before Carroll Quigley completed his book, “Tragedy and Hope,” someone who certainly ought to know, delivered that most shockingly revealing speech. The Kennedy clan is by no means an outsider bloodline and cannot therefore be ignored. Dr. Quigley’s book simply reinforces the Kennedy statement this way, in the introductory statement by Michael Chadwick:

“There really is a "world system of financial control in private hands" that is "able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world." It is an ultra-secret group of the most powerful men on the earth. They now control every major international institution, every major multinational and transnational corporation both public and private, every major domestic and international banking institution, every central bank, every nation-state on earth, the natural resources on every continent and the people around the world through complicated inter-locking networks that resemble giant spider webs. This group is comprised of the leading family dynasties of the Canada, United States, Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Russia and China. This self-perpetuating group has developed an elaborate system of control that enables them to manipulate government leaders, consumers and people throughout the world.” Carroll Quigley, “Tragedy and Hope” page 7.

At first glance this may appear troubling enough, but the following paragraph should jolt even more.

“They are in the last stages of developing a World Empire that will rival the ancient Roman Empire. However, this new Empire will rule the entire world, not just a goodly portion of it as Rome did long ago, from its ultra-secret world headquarters in Germany. This group is responsible for the death and suffering of over 180 million men, women and children. They were responsible for World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam, etc. They have created periods of inflation and deflation in order to confiscate and consolidate the wealth of the world. They were responsible for the enslavement of over two billion people in all communist nations—Russia, China, Eastern Europe, etc., inasmuch as they were directly responsible for the creation of communism in these nations. They built up and sustain these evil totalitarian systems for private gain.” Carroll Quigley, “Tragedy and Hope” page 7.

I will again encourage you to read the entire book. If you have never encountered any of this material before, you might find it jarring, but an early jarring encounter is superior to sudden overwhelming shock. Changes are coming. The time is right upon us when there will be sorrow in the world that no human balm can heal. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
