Conspiracy: A Biblical View, by Gary North - EntreWave

TWO KINDS OF CONSPIRACY, by Gary NorthHow could this earnest-looking man in his late thirties have devotedhimself to such a preposterous task, to prove that the UN offersanyone hope in anything except, possibly, a bureaucratic job in someUN agency? How could Adlai E. Stevenson, Hubert H. Humphrey,Henry Cabot Lodge, and Sen. Jacob K. Javits have all written blurbsfor it on the back of the dust jacket? There is only one reasonableconclusion: none of them actually read this pathetic little book, withits dry, brief descriptions of endless UN agencies (GATT, UNCSAT,ICAO, WHO, FAO, etc., etc.), and its hopeful chapter titles, such as"Turning Point in World Trade" and "Solving the MonetaryDilemma." It took a Rhodes scholar to write this?Books make them look scholarly. Books make them look respectable.Books make them look like a bunch of academics, meaningpowerless. Adam Weishaupt, founder of the Illuminati, an importantlate-eighteenth-century secret revolutionary society, 2 recognized theimportance of books very early. He laid down guidelines concerningthe proper concealment of a secret society. No principle was moreimportant than looking unimportant. Books were part of this cover.The great strength of our Order lies in its concealment;let it never appear in any place in its own name, butalways covered by another name, and anotheroccupation. None is fitter than the three lower degrees ofFree Masonry; the public is accustomed to it, expectslittle from it, and therefore takes little notice of it. Next tothis, the form of a learned or literary society is best suitedto our purpose, and had Free Masonry not existed, thiscover would have been employed; and it may be muchmore than a cover, it may be a powerful engine in ourhands. By establishing reading societies, andsubscription libraries, and taking these under ourdirection, and supplying them through our labours, wemay turn the public mind which way we will .... ALiterary Society is the most proper form for theintroduction of our Order into any state where we are yetstrangers. 3Today, the college and university have taken the place of readingsocieties. So have literary reviews and book review services, so thathttp://freebooks.commentary.net/freebooks/docs/html/gnco/html/4.htm (5 of 11) [5/26/2000 1:48:09 PM]
