CHAPTER EIGHT<br />

THE ILLUMINATI INFLUENCE ON INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS<br />

THE UNITED NATIONS<br />

Jan Tinbergen (from the Netherlands), the winner of the 1969 Nobel Prize for Economics,<br />

has said: “Mankind’s problems can no longer be solved by national governments; what is needed<br />

is a world government.” Although this mentality is becoming more pronounced, getting to that<br />

point has taken many years.<br />

In 1939, Dr. James T. Shotwell organized a group known as the Commission to Study the<br />

Organization of Peace, which was made up of a number of small subcommittees. One of these,<br />

the Subcommittee on International Organization was chaired by Sumner Wells, the Under<br />

Secretary of State, and its purpose was to plan postwar policy. Shotwell and Isaiah Bowman,<br />

members of the subcommittee, were also members of the League of Nations Association, and<br />

had been on Col. House’s staff at the Paris Peace Conference in 1918, where plans for the<br />

League of Nations had been laid out. This established a direct link between the League of<br />

Nations and the United Nations. The subcommittee’s work formed the basis for the Charter of<br />

the United Nations, and was the means by which the Council on Foreign Relations was able to<br />

condition the Congress, and the people of the country to accept the United Nations.<br />

Two weeks after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Cordell Hull, the Secretary of State, sent a letter<br />

to President Roosevelt recommending the establishment of a Presidential Advisory Committee<br />

on Post War Foreign Policy, which actually became a planning group for the United Nations.<br />

Ten of the Fourteen Committee members came from the CFR. Roosevelt’s “Four Freedoms<br />

Speech” planted the seed for the United Nations. A conference held in Washington, D.C between<br />

the representatives of the 26 nations that had banded together against the axis powers, gave<br />

momentum to the movement by issuing the “Declaration of the Twenty-Six United Nations” on<br />

January 1, 1942. In February, 1942, the State Department’s Advisory Committee on Post-War<br />

Foreign Policy secretly worked out more details. One of their reports said: “Its discussions<br />

throughout were founded upon belief in the unqualified victory by the United Nations. It<br />

predicted, as an absolute prerequisite for world peace, the continuing strength of the United<br />

Nations through unbroken cooperation after the war.”<br />

In 1942, Free World, a periodical published by the International Free World Association<br />

(organized in 1941), they stated that their objective was to create the “machinery for a world<br />

government in which the United Nations will serve as a nucleus ... in order to prepare in time the<br />

foundations for a future world order.”<br />

Leading diplomats from the United States, Russia, England, and China, attended preliminary<br />

meetings in October, 1943, at a conference in Moscow. In November, Cordell Hull “secured the<br />

consent of Stalin to establish a general organization ... for the maintenance of international peace<br />

and security,” and in proposing it to Roosevelt, made it appear as though it was an American<br />

project. Among the leading U.S. figures who were involved in the planning of the United<br />

Nations: Alger Hiss, Harry Dexter White, Virginius Frank Coe, Noel Field, Laurance Duggan,<br />

Henry Julian Wadleigh, John Carter Vincent, David Weintraub, Nathan Gregory Silvermaster,<br />

Harold Glasser, Victor Perlo, Irving Kaplan, Solomon Adler, Abraham George Silverman,<br />

William L. Ullman, William H. Taylor, and Dean Acheson. All of these men, were either<br />

communists, or had pro-communist sympathies.
