Hagger Nicholas The Syndicate The Story of the Coming of World Government.pdf

NOTE TO THE READER
This book is an attempt to arrive at a view of twentieth-century history that
explains the events. I have made available all my sources in the Notes. I
am aware that the quality of the sources varies. Some are unimpeachable,
others of more dubious reliability. The truth is that there is quite simply
not always a good source for every judgment in this field. Government of
any kind involves secrecy. I have put it all down, warts and all, and leave it
to the reader's judgment as to whether it is all smoke and no fire.
My people perish for lack of knowledge.
Hosea 4:6
It will be enough for me ... if these words of mine are judged
useful by those who want to understand clearly the events
which happened in the past and which (human nature being
what it is) will, at some time or other and in much the same
ways, be repeated in the future. My work is not a piece of
writing designed to meet the taste of an immediate public; but
was done to last for ever.
Thucydides, History of The Peloponnesian War
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I am grateful to the authors of the books that appear in the Notes, many
of whom had the courage to question the official line and describe current
affairs as they saw them. I am grateful to many people who have shared
my enthusiasm for finding out what is really happening in the world today,
the story behind the news: the story the public is not told.
I acknowledge the memory of Charles Douglas-Home who, when
Features Editor of the London Times, taught me to present statistics in
the articles I wrote for his Times' center page, to let the facts speak for
themselves and to leave it to the reader to draw conclusions. I am grateful
to my learned friend Edward Garnier, QC, MP, a former Conservative Party
Shadow Attorney General, for painstakingly reading through the text and
offering valuable advice from his considerable knowledge of public life
and world leaders. And also to Joh
