Conspiracy: A Biblical View, by Gary North - EntreWave

TWO KINDS OF CONSPIRACY, by Gary NorthAmericans now know who they are and what they are. It is nowimpossible for them to hide completely. So they are attempting todeflect the charge of "conspiracy" by going partially public. Thistactic can be seen in David Rockefeller's defense of the TrilateralCommission in a letter to the editor in the New York Times (August25, 1980):Is the commission secretive? Not at all.
