Launching the new world order

To the editor,
The following excerpts, taken from Pat Robertson’s book “The New World Order,” are intended to substantiate comments made by me in an earlier letter. (Wake up America!)
It was from this book, in 1991, that I first learned of a rather infamous character named Col. Edward Mandell House. According to Pat Robertson, House was the British-educated son of a Texas financier who represented British financial interests. Due to his financial prowess, and friends in high places, House soon found himself “adviser” to former President Woodrow Wilson.
The supporters behind this union were known as the “Money Trust,” and included the Rockefellers, Jacob Schiff, Bernard Baruch, Thomas Fortune Ryan, and Adolph Ochs. Wilson was dignified, and beyond reproach.
However, he was completely naïve about the intricacies of international finance and the complex workings of the federal government. No matter. When paired with a man of their choosing (Col. House), Wilson became the perfect front man for the financiers of his day.
It was Col. House that handpicked the majority of Wilson’s cabinet. But together, Wilson and House quickly paid off their backers. In 1913, America’s privately owned central bank, the Federal Reserve Board, was created. Then came the passage of the federal income tax under the authority of the Internal Revenue Service.
But Col. House dreamed of more. Much more. He wanted a new world order dominated by American finance - with himself at its head. Beyond that, House wanted a one-world government, a one-world army, a one-world economy, and a world dictator, served by a council of 12 faithful men.
Despite his wacky visions of a new world order, (or, maybe because of it) House, became a founding member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), which was established in 1921. This august body of “wise men” has effectively dominated the making of foreign policy by the U.S. Government since before World War II. The CFR has included virtually every key national security and foreign policy adviser of this nation for the past 70 years.
In Robertson’s own words, “In my opinion, it is highly doubtful that George Bush (Sr.) shares any of the notions of Col. Edward House. But what about the behind-the-scenes leaders within the CFR who have been promoting and engineering the new world order these past 70 years? Dare we ask?”
Note: George Bush Sr. was the director of the CFR between 1977 and 1979. When quizzed about the Gulf War, he admitted that the fate of Kuwait was not the main issue. Launching the new world order was the main thing.
