THERE ARE REALLY only two theories of history. Either things happen by accident neither planned nor caused by anybody (accidental theory of history), or they happen because they are planned and somebody causes them to happen (conspiratorial theory of history).

Which theory is correct? Virtually all “reputable” scholars and media columnists and commentators reject the conspiratorial theory of history. Even many conservatives, like radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh, agree with them. Can we find anyone who supports the conspiratorial theory? Let’s see.

FDR once said “In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.” And he was in a position to know.

One form of the conspiracy is Communism. In a 1951 decision the U.S. Supreme Court labeled communism “a conspiracy”. The Senate Internal Security Subcommittee came to the same conclusion in 1953 as did the House Committee on Un-American Activities in 1956. J. Edgar Hoover stated that in confronting communism “the individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists.”

Why is it so difficult to believe that a conspiracy exists today, even in America, leading us toward a one-world government through the United Nations? Maybe the following will be helpful.

In 1913 Congressman Charles Lindbergh said: “When the President signs this act [The Federal Reserve Act] the invisible government by the money power, proven to exist by the Money Trust investigation, will be legalized...”

In 1922 New York City Mayor John F. Hylan said: “The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation... The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties...”

In 1954 Senator William Jenner said: “...Outwardly we have a Constitutional government. We have operating within our government and political system, another body representing another form of government, a bureaucratic elite which believes our Constitution is outmoded.”

Finally, hear the words of Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter: “The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes.”

Any thinking person who is willing to look at these facts will have to admit that a person who believes in the conspiratorial theory of history is not some fanatical right-wing kook.
