"The Network “Recovers” America
Two men, Cecil Rhodes and Lord Milner, played an indispensable role in the creation and expansion of the Network. Their actions changed the world forever, and for that reason no depiction of the Network (or modern history for that matter) would be complete without mentioning their names. Likewise, two additional men played an indispensable role in helping the Network achieve one of its crucial goals: regaining control of the United States of America. The first man, Edward Mandell House, was clearly a willing and deceptive servant. The second man, President Woodrow Wilson, was almost certainly a well-meaning dupe. But before bringing these two additional characters into the story, let’s touch on why it was necessary for the Network to “recover” the United States and destroy its political and economic sovereignty.
Global Domination 101
There is always one nonnegotiable element in any plan to secure global domination: sovereign nations (truly independent nations) cannot be tolerated. Why? Because global domination is about centralizing all power into the would-be rulers’ hands. Independent nations impede this consolidation and disturb the proper chain of command.
This seems straightforward enough, but, since it’s rarely boiled down to its simplest form, it’s worth repeating: to rule the world, you must first destroy national sovereignty. You must consolidate and control the real levers of power, regardless of the different forms of government that appear in each country.
If “democratic forms” of government can persuade the majority to accept your global policies, then democratic forms should be used. If tyrannical forms of government are more effective at gaining compliance, then let there be tyranny. If shifting from one form of government to another (turning nations and societies on their head) provides an opportunity to obtain your objectives…So be it. All that truly matters is that you control the leaders who appear to hold power and that you can contain or destroy those leaders if they forget (or simply haven’t realized) who the real master is.
This is what Quigley meant when he said the Network’s members are “satisfied to possess the reality rather than the appearance of power.” 1 To the extent that they direct the political and economic machinery of nations—to the extent they can destroy national sovereignty and impose their policies on the citizens of the world—they possess the reality of power. And to this end, anything that weakens national sovereignty is their ally; anything that strengthens it is their enemy.
Unfortunately, as Ed Griffin points out in The Quigley Formula, many people struggle to believe that their highly respected “leaders” are conspiring to cheat them out of truly representative government. After all, our leaders constantly sing the praises of representative government. They tell us that the citizens are sovereign, voters control national policies, and any suggestion to the contrary is ridiculous. After a lifetime of being fed this version of reality, the idea of a global conspiracy to destroy national sovereignty (involving both government and government advisors) is, understandably, difficult to accept. But the greatest weapon against knee-jerk disbelief often comes directly from the conspirators themselves. For instance, Arnold J. Toynbee (a high-ranking member of the Network), left little doubt when he wrote:
I will hereby repeat that we are at present working discreetly but with all of our might to wrest this mysterious political force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local national states of our world. And all the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands."
