Rating:  Summary: For 'Conspiracy Nuts' Only Review: As one reviewer pointed out, this isn't really a book. It is presented as a chronology with excerpts from newspaper articles, books, etc. that show the history of the globalist movement. The typical people are on the scene, international bankers, the Round Table people or 'the Group', Skull and Bonesmen, the Council on Foreign Relations, with the numerous quotes from Tragedy and Hope. The methods behind the New World Order aren't clearly spelled out, so other books would be much better to get. However, a self-confessed conspiracy nut could find some interesting leads for research. For example, apparently the Washington Post ran an article on Carrol Quigley shortly before his death entitled, "The professor who knew too much." I was unaware of this and would like to obtain a copy. If you are willing to pay the price to get a handful of items like that, get the book, otherwise read a book by Antony Sutton or Carrol Quigley.
Rating:  Summary: This isn't really a book. Review: It is merely an extended chronology. Do not buy it unless that is what you are looking for.
Rating:  Summary: George Bush wishes he never said it. Review: Rhodes scholars appoint other Rhodes scholars?Oooooh. Conspiracy. How about "highly educated Western leaders and industrialists are often educated as Rhodes scholars at Oxford"? And then "highly educated people appoint other highly educated people who are like them"? Poof. No conspiracy at all. So George Bush said "we are entering a new world order".... Ooooh. Conspiracy. I bet George Bush wishes he had said, "we are entering a new geopolitical framework, with the US being the only superpower. But with developing nations rapidly accquiring ( and how I hate this phrase ) weapons of mass destruction. We are living in uncertain times". Not as snappy as NWO ( as wrestling fans will testify ), but if he had amplified his statement like this, you see no conspiracy again. As to what Rhodes himself said, Jesus, Mary and Joseph, that was at the height of the British Empire - clearly he thought that Britain was going to stamp English all over the world and be possibly the dominant world power ( as the US is now ). So, how wrong he was! So again, no conspiracy, just imperialist rhetoric and nothing more. And these people are all "Rhodes scholars"? Well, I am afraid that that is called "history" - something many Americans lack a perpective of. The scholarships were started by Rhodes, they still bear his name. That does not mean in any way that they also bear or teach or promote his imperial asperations. There is no "global conspiracy", there is nothing sinister going on. It's just the rich and the powerful sticking together as they have always done.
