Authors Preface:
America's Secret Establishment
After 16 books and 25 years in basic research I thought I'd heard it
all. . . the world was a confused mess, probably beyond understanding
and certainly beyond salvation - and there was little- I could do about it.
Back in 1968 my Western Technology' and Soviet Economic
Development was published by the Hoover Institution at Stanford
University. In three substantial volumes I detailed how the West had
built the Soviet Union. However, the work generated a seemingly in-
soluble puzzle - why have we done this? Why did we build the Soviet
Union, while we also transferred technology to Hitler's Germany? Why
does Washington want to conceal these facts? Why have we boosted
Soviet military power? And simultaneously boosted our own?
In subsequent books, the Wall Street series, I added more questions.
- but no answers. I had more or less arrived at the conclusion that
there was no rational answer that could be proven.
Then a year or so ago I received an eight-inch batch of documents -
nothing less than the membership lists of an American secret society
Glancing through the sheets it was more than obvious - this was no
ordinary group. The names spelled Power, with a capital P. As I probed
each individual a pattern emerged...and a formerly fuzzy world
became crystal clear.
The book you will read here is a combined version of a series report-
ing on this research. Each volume builds on the previous volume in a
logical step-by-step process.
These volumes will explain why the West built the Soviets and Hitler
why we go to war, to lose; why Wall Street loves Marxists and Nazis;.
why the kids can't read: why the Churches have become propaganda
founts; why historical facts are suppressed, why politicians lie and a
hundred other whys.
This series is infinitely more important than the original Western
Technology series on technological transfers. If I have a magnum
opus, this is it.

Memorandum Number One: Is There A
Conspiracy Explanation For Recent History
The reader anxious to yet into the story of The Order should go
directly to Memorandum Number Two. This section concerns methods,
evidence and proof. Essential, but perhaps boring for most reader.
During the past one hundred years any theory of history or historical
evidence that fails outside a pattern established by the American
Historical Association and the major foundations with their grant-
making power has been attacked or rejected - not on the basis of any
evidence presented, but on the basis of the acceptability of the argu-
ment to the so-called Eastern Liberal Establishment and its official
historical line.
The Official Establishment History
There is an Establishment history, an official history, which dominates
history textbooks, trade publishing. the media and library shelves. The
official line always assumes that events such as wars. revolutions. scan-
dals. assassinations. are more or less random unconnected events. By
definition events can NEVER be the result of a conspiracy'. They can
never result from premeditated planned group action. An excellent
example is the Kennedy assassination when, within 9 hours of the Dallas
tragedy, TV networks announced the shooting was NOT a conspiracy,
regardless of the fact that a negative proposition can never be proven,
and that the investigation had barely begun.
Woe betide any book or author that falls outside the official
guidelines. Foundation support is not there Publishers get cold feet.
Distribution is hit and miss, or non- existent.
Just to ensure the official line dominates, in 1946 the Rockefeller
Foundation allotted $139,000 for an official history of World War Two.
This to avoid a repeat of debunking history books which embarrassed
the Establishment after World War One. The reader will be interested to
know that The Order we are about to investigate had great foresight,
back in the 1880s, to create both the American Historical Association
and the American Economic Association (most economists were then
more historians than analysts under their terms, with their people and
their objectives. Andrew Dickson White was a member of The Order
and the first President of the American Historical Association.
Failure of Official History
Times have changed The weaknesses. inconsistencies and plain un-
truths in official history have surfaced In the 1980s it is rare to find a
thinking reader who accepts official history. Most believe it has been
more or less packaged for mass consumption by naive or greedy historians.
Although an historian who will stick out his neck and buck the trend is rare,
some who do are victims of an even deeper game.
Conspiracy then is an accepted explanation for many events at the in-
telligent grass roots level, that level furthest removed from the influence
of The Order. We can cite at random the Kennedy assassination where
the official "lone gunman" theory was never accepted by Americans in
the street; Watergate, where a "deep throat" informer and erased tapes
reek of conspiracy, and Pearl Harbor, where Rear Admiral Husband E.
Kimmel and Major General Walter C. Short took the rap for General
George C Marshall and President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The revisionist historian has a double burden as well as a double task
The double burden is that research likely to question the official
historical line will not get financed. The double task is that research must
be more than usually careful and precise.
A non-official work is not going to be judged on its merits. The work
will be judged on the basis of its acceptability to a predetermined
historical standard. What this standard is we shall explore later.
Hypotheses and Method
Which brings us to methodology. In this volume we will present three
hypotheses. What is a hypothesis A hypothesis is a theory, a working
theory, a start point, which has to be supported by evidence. We ar-
rived at these three hypotheses by examining certain documents which
will also be described. The official history hatchet mongers will scream
that our hypotheses are now being presented as proven assertions
and whatever we write here will not stop the screams. But again, these
are only hypotheses at this point, they have to be supported with
evidence. They are a first step in a logical research process.
Now in scientific methodology a hypothesis can be Proven. It cannot
be disproven. It is up to the reader to decide whether the evidence
presented later supports, or does not support, the hypotheses. Ob-
viously no one author, critic, or reader can decide either way until all
the evidence has been presented.
We also intend to use two other principles of scientific research ig-
nored by official establishment historians.
Firstly, in science the simplest explanation to a problem is always the
most acceptable solution. By contrast, in establishment history, a simple
answer is usually criticized as "simplistic." What the critic implies is "The
poor writer hasn't used all the facts," In other words. it's a cheap "putdown"
without the necessity of providing an alternate answer or addi-
tional fact.
Secondly, again in science, an answer that its the most cases, i.e.
the most general answer, is also the most acceptable answer. For exam-
ple, you have 12 events to explain and a theory that fits 11 of these
events. That theory. is more acceptable than a theory that fits only 4 or 5
of the events.
The Devil Theory of History
Using this methodology' we are going to argue and present detailed
precise evidence (including names, dates and places) that the only
reasonable explanation for recent history in the United States is that
there exists a conspiracy to use political power for ends which are incon-
sistent with the Constitution.
This is known by the official historians as the "devil theory of history,"
which again is a quick, cheap device for brushing facts under the rug.
However, these critics ignore. for example. The Sherman Act. i.e., the
anti-trust laws where conspiracy is the basic accepted theory. If there
can be a conspiracy in the market place, then Why not in the political
arena? Are politicians any purer than businessmen. Following the anti-
trust laws, we know that conspiracy can only be proven in a specific
manner. A similar pattern of market actions is not proof of conspiracy.
Just because something looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and all the
ducks act similarly, does not make it a duck - or a conspiracy. Under
the Sherman Act a similar pattern of prices, where all prices are the
same, is not proof of conspiracy. Similarity of prices can occur in a
purely competitive market. Neither is similar political action necessarily
a conspiracy'.
Proof of conspiracy requires specific types of evidence. i.e.;
(a) there must be secret meetings of the participants and efforts made
to conceal joint actions.
(b) these meetings must jointly agree to take a course of action,
(c) and this action must be illegal.
The Council on Foreign Relations
Widely accepted explanations of recent history based on a conspiracy
theory do not present evidence that fits the above criteria. For example
the Council on Foreign Relations cannot be claimed as a conspiracy
even for the period since its founding in 1921. Membership in the CFR
is not a secret. Membership lists are readily available for the cost of
postage stamp. There is no proof that the entire membership conspires
to commit illegal acts.
What has to be proven in any conspiracy explanation of history is
that the participants have secret groupings, and meet to plan illegal.
actions.
Members of the CFR, when accused of being involved in a conspiracy, have
protested to the contrary. And by and large they are right. Most CFR members
are not involved in a conspiracy and have a knowledge of any conspiracy. And
some personally known to the author are about the last people on earth to get
involved in an illegal conspiracy.
HOWEVER, there is a group WITHIN the Council of Foreign Rela-
tions which belongs to a secret society, sworn to secrecy', and which
more or less controls the CFR. CFR meetings are used for their own
purposes, i.e., to push out ideas, to weigh up people who might be
useful, to use meetings as a forum for discussion
These members are in The Order. Their membership in The Order
can be proven. Their meetings can be proven. Their objectives are
plainly unconstitutional. And this ORDER has existed for 150 years in
the United States.
