How a private system of central banks became the backbone of global control

In Part 5 we read Aldous Huxley’s forecasting of the era of world controllers, sitting atop a new medieval system run by social engineers, enabled by the drug-induced euphoria of its inhabitants.

But Wells had told us as far back as 1928 that the Open Conspiracy would rest on finance, as well as biology and economics.

Now, having traced the biological pillar through Russell, Darwin, and the Huxleys, we turn to the financial pillar.

(This series doesn’t cover economics, the third pillar of Wells’ Open Conspiracy. But it’s worth mentioning that Charles Galton Darwin’s sister married Geoffrey Keynes, brother of influential economist John Maynard Keynes. The branches of power so often grow from just a few family trees.)

In his 1966 book Tragedy and Hope, Carroll Quigley wrote candidly about the financial system of control:

‘The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole… The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks which were themselves private corporations.’

Quigley was no outsider. He taught history at Princeton, Harvard, and Georgetown. Bill Clinton later named him as a formative influence and most importantly, Quigley was trusted by the network which set up this financial system. By his own admission, he was given access to archives that other historians never saw:

‘I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret records.’

He explained how the two-party political system itself had been designed to create the illusion of choice:

‘The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies… is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.’

He even spelled out the methods by which this financial system kept governments compliant:

‘Each central bank […] sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world.’

Quigley’s revelations didn’t circulate widely. His 1,300-page Tragedy and Hope appeared in 1966, but within just two years Macmillan had destroyed the printing plates. Quigley said the publisher strung him along when they claim they’d only reprint once enough orders came in, while simultaneously telling readers who inquired that no reprint was planned.

He discovered the truth only after pressing them through a lawyer. Whether it was neglect or something more deliberate, the effect was the same: the book vanished from shelves just as demand grew, leaving only pirated copies in circulation.

In Part 7^[1] we will continue with Quigley as he reveals the hidden hands that animated this financial control system in a book he wouldn't have published until after his death.
