PROLOGUE<br />

The Queen of England is alleged to have told her butler Paul<br />

Burrell a few months after Princess Diana's death in a car crash,<br />

"Be careful. There are powers at work in this country about<br />

which we have no knowledge." Misreporting? Or is she wrong?<br />

Or could it be true? The <strong>the</strong>me of this book is that it is.<br />

The history and current affairs we are taught in schools, <strong>read</strong> in <strong>the</strong><br />

newspapers, and <strong>read</strong> in books, tends to focus on public figures - kings,<br />

prime ministers, nations. It highlights <strong>the</strong> events that are most visible. But<br />

<strong>the</strong>re are currents that determine <strong>the</strong>se events, and figures hidden from<br />

<strong>the</strong> public eye that move <strong>the</strong>m. It can be hard to discern <strong>the</strong>se figures, and<br />

<strong>the</strong> sequence of events can be hard to unravel.<br />

It's hard enough to unravel <strong>the</strong> events in front of our noses. Did Iraq for<br />

instance have weapons of mass destruction or not? You might think that<br />

with all <strong>the</strong> modern technology at <strong>the</strong> disposal of Western governments,<br />

down to satellites that can spot cigarette packets, <strong>the</strong>re could be little<br />

room for doubt. If our governments can get it so wrong, what chance do<br />

we have? Who can we trust? What can we believe? It's easy to lose our<br />

bearings and believe any conspiracy <strong>the</strong>ory. The opposite is equally true:<br />

it's easy to believe what <strong>the</strong> government says, that everything is open and<br />

above board. I believe <strong>the</strong> answer is to look at <strong>the</strong> broader picture, to look<br />

at patterns over decades ra<strong>the</strong>r than at single events.<br />

Many of <strong>the</strong> conclusions here are tentative. They may sound impossible.<br />

But <strong>the</strong>n many things do without <strong>the</strong> benefit of hindsight. Who would<br />

have guessed in 1930 that <strong>the</strong> following decade would see <strong>the</strong> attempt to<br />

create a New World Order involving <strong>the</strong> extermination of most of Europe's<br />

Jews and <strong>the</strong> overall deaths of 70 million? Who would have guessed in<br />

2000 that <strong>the</strong> following year would see <strong>the</strong> politics of <strong>the</strong> West dominated<br />
