THREAD: For more than a century, a secretive global network of financial elites have been working behind the scenes to establish a "world system of financial control... controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world". 🧵

In the early 1960s, historian Carroll Quigley was permitted to study this network's secret records, and decided to lay bare their plans for the world.
What he discovered was shocking.

Carroll Quigley wasn't a conspiracy theorist. He was a respected historian at Georgetown, Harvard, and Princeton. One of his most notable students was Bill Clinton, who publicly praised Quigley during his 1992 presidential nomination acceptance speech.

So what did Quigley teach that left such an impression?
In his 1966 book 'Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time', Quigley revealed:
"There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the radical Right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups, and frequently does so."

However, Quigley wasn't opposed to this network. In fact, he admired much of their work. As explained by Quigley:
"I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960's, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments."
His only objection?
"My chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known."

Quigley further elaborated on the history of this secretive global network:
"The American branch of this organization (sometimes called the 'Eastern Establishment') has played a very significant role in the history of the United States in the last generation."
"Money for the widely ramified activities of this organization came originally from the associates and followers of [English industrialist] Cecil Rhodes... Since 1925 there have been substantial contributions from wealthy individuals and from foundations and firms associated with the international banking fraternity [including Andrew Carnegie, J.P. Morgan and the Rockefeller family]."
"At the end of the war of 1914, it became clear that the organization of this system had to be greatly extended [by creating front organisations in different countries]."
"[The English] front organization, called the Royal Institute of International Affairs, had as its nucleus in each area the existing submerged Round Table Group. In New York it was known as the Council on Foreign Relations."

So what was this secretive network's ultimate goal?
According to Quigley:
"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, Quigley explained, "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 private meetings and conferences."
"The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations."
Sound familiar in light of modern-day conversations surrounding "global governance"?
Remember, Quigley wrote all this in 1966!

Not to worry, we can just vote our way out of this, right?!
WRONG.
As explained by Quigley:
"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. 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 extensive shifts in policy... It should be possible to replace [the party in office], every four years if necessary, by the other party, which will... still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies."

Quigley's revelations in 'Tragedy and Hope' came at a cost. After its publication, the book mysteriously went out of print. Some believe it was suppressed because it exposed information powerful individuals preferred to stay hidden. Quigley himself claimed the publisher stopped printing it without explanation.
Fortunately, Quigley's works 'Tragedy and Hope' and 'The Anglo-American Establishment' can still be acquired in both hard copy and e-book versions, and remain essential reading for anyone curious about how global power truly operates behind the scenes.
To learn more about Carroll Quigley's paradigm-shattering revelations, I'd highly recommend reading both books!
