How the World Really Works by Alan B. Jones

This next book is one of the best you can read for a broad sweep over the superpolitics ruling our world. Each chapter is devoted to one full-length book written by different authors in a cliff-note style summary of the book. I will mention a few of the first chapters briefly with a note about what it contains below.

Chapter 1--A Century of War by F. William Engdahl
This chapter documents the history and background of wars in our world. It is shown that Hitler was funded by the central banks of England. You'll learn that third world countries were given loans by the central bankers and then through economic manipulation, the bankers came to essentially own those countries.

Chapter 2--Tragedy and Hope by Professor Carroll Quigley (whom Bill Clinton calls his mentor)
Quigley was a great admirer of the "insiders." The only difference between himself and the actual insiders was that he believed their impact on the world was so great that it should be published for all the world to see. This was a huge mistake (which they realized after the book was published) thus showing these people do slip up but are very active. After being given the ultimate access to the group's files and contacts, he published this book as a documentary of the "great things" these people have done. He names all the powerful names like Lazard, Warburg, Seligman, Rothschild, Morgan, Chase, etc... He outlines the history of WW2 and how they helped create it and why. He talks about the creation of various polical groups composed of these men like the Counsel on Foreign Relations, the Round Table, the Rhodes-Milner group, and how these innocuous sounding groups take on a public appearance that differs vastly from their intentions. (for more on this read Track Two)

Here's a quote from the book Tragedy and Hope:

The National parties and their presidential candidates, with the Eastern Establishment assiduously fostering the process behind the scenes, moved closer together and nearly met in the center with almost identical candidates and platforms, although the process was concealed as much as possible, by the revival of obsolescent or meaningless war cries and slogans (often going back to the Civil War). … 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 the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can “throw the rascals out” at any election without leading to any profound or extreme shifts in policy. … Either party in office becomes in time corrupt, tired, unenterprising, and vigorless. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies.

Chapter 3--The Naked Capitalist by W. Cleon Skousen
As a man that worked 16 years in the FBI with a very close association to J. Edgar Hoover, Cleon has a special knowledge of communist activity in this country. This book stems from the production of Tragedy and Hope from chapter 2. When it was published, it confirmed many things Cleon was already aware of. For example, he had a conversation with Dr. Bella Dodd, a member of the national committee of the U.S. Communist Party. Dr. Dodd said, "I think the Communist conspiracy is merely a branch of a much bigger conspiracy." The reason for this was after WW2 when communication between Moscow and the U.S. Communist party became difficult, he was instructed if he ever had an emergency to contact one of three people that lived in the Waldorf Towers. What puzzled him was that none of the three were Russians, but all extremely wealthy capitalists.

Chapter 4--The Tax-Exempt Foundations by William McIlhany
The Reese hearings were an investigation of tax-exempt foundations and how they were spending their money. The chief investigator was Norman Dodd and his investigation was harrassed and eventually derailed by the influence of the foundations he was investigating. This book documents the efforts by Dodd to investigate groups such as the Carnegie, Ford, Rockefeller and other foundations.

After Alger Hiss was convicted as a soviet spy, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace replaced him AS THEIR CURRENT PRESIDENT, with Joseph Johnson. Dodd contacted Johnson to request an interview but Johnson was busy, and not yet knowing what he was sitting on, told Dodd he could just come look through the minutes of their meetings. Dodd pounced on this and found lengthy discussions about the actions of the foundations. From the 1911 minutes of the Carnegie group, they discussed the question, "Is there any means known to man more effective than war, assuming you wish to alter the life of an entire people?" After discussing this for a year, another set of minutes stated, "How do we involve the United States in a war?" In 1917, the minutes showed they congratulated themselves on the wisdom of their actions and had the brashness to telegram President Wilson informing him not to end the war too quickly.

When the war was ending, they decided that in order to ensure there would be no reversion in the lifestyles of Americans, they needed to control education so the children coming up wouldn't fall back into the ways of their parents. One group took on domestic educational issues and another the teaching of foreign politics so that children would be indoctrinated at an early age to know what the government wanted them to, to assimilate with socialism. This is an important reason to erradicate the National Department of Education. There is no provision in the constitution for the federal government to oversee education of the people, therefore the 10th Amendment says the states should decide on those matters what best suits them to educate their people. The federal government has no business in education.

Rowan Gaither was interviewed as president of the Ford Foundation and said, the purpose of their foundation's efforts was "to so alter life in the United States as to make possible a comfortable merger with the Soviet Union." When Mr. Dodd suggested they make those efforts public, Mr. Gaither declined and stated that for public consumption they are guided by the 10 commandments and the constitution.

Chapter 5-The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin
This chapter documents the history of the Federal Reserve Bank, an entity you hear frequently mentioned and may think is owned and operated by our federal government, but is actually a privately held corporation owned by international private bankers. The chapter deals with how the IMF (international monetary fund) and World Bank manipulate currencies for profit and how "The Fed" has interfered in our lives and siphoned off money for years.

Other chapters include, 1984, Report from Iron Mountain (there is some controversy if this book is a hoax or authentic--Mr. Griffin in his book Creature from Jekyll Island mentions he confirmed with a man at Harvard that he was part of this group), The Greening, The Politics of Heroin, Final Judgment, Dope Inc., and Let's Fix America.
