…one primary reading source for you, if you are genuinely interested in the subject. It should be enough to get you started on the more serious analysis of what I am talking about. http://www.amazon.com/Anglo-American-Establishment-Quigley-C...
on “XKeyscore: NSA program collects 'nearly everything a user does on the internet'” ↗Then may I suggest Carroll Quigley's works relative to the Rhodes groups, in particular "The Anglo-American Establishment: From Rhodes to Cliveden" and "Tragedy and Hope". Michael Parenti, while a bit loose with his citations and sometimes on the edge, is another who does a good job of broad overview summary. Lately Chris…
on “NSA whistleblower warns of surveillance state” ↗The ones that cut through the stale version taught in schools. Mostly Carroll Quigley's works like Tragedy and Hope, Anglo-American Establishment, or The Evolution of Civilizations. Another I consider at the level of Quigley is Anthony Sutton. There are quite a few less academically accurate books that are good eye openers anyway like Howard…
on “Ask HN: What are your favorite history books?” ↗If interested, for more data including names and dates, try Carroll Quigley's Anglo-American Establishment or his Tragedy and Hope. For a shorter version, try Joe Plummer's Tragedy and Hope 101. If true, not all is as it appears. But then, in the day and age of propaganda, when is it?
on “War Is a Racket (1933)” ↗…really try hard not to get into "conspiracy theory territory" too much on HN because the conversation usually devolves, so I really don't want to get into a long list of evidence, but I could recommend The Anglo-American Establishment by Carrol Quigley as a good starting point for understanding how over-time agendas can be propagated and enacted. Perhaps the interview by Norman Dodd with G Edward Griffin about the tax exempt foundations.…
on “Whichever party is in power, policies tend to be similar” ↗…(the banking system) that continue this narrative. These arent inherently bad per se, but the naive way Americans think of them makes them vulnerable to manipulation and deception. Carroll Quigley's Anglo-American Establishment is a must read for background knowledge on this topic.
on “The Not-So-Special Relationship” ↗I've been reading the Foundation series, and it's quite good. Aside from that: "The New Right" by Michael Malice "The Storm Before the Storm" by Mike Duncan "The Anglo-American Establishment" by Carroll Quigley "Numbers Don't Lie" by Vaclav Smil Books that weren't good: "A Short History of Man" by Hans-Herman Hopper "The Singularity is Near" by Ray Kurzweil "After Evangelicalism" by…
on “Ask HN: What is the best thing you read in 2022?” ↗…Its Allies in Control of the United States and the World". Another more superficial but still useful one is "The Brothers". To understand the OSS-MI6 connection, I like to suggest Carrol Quigleys "The Anglo-American Establishment", and for particulars about things you devolve into certain authors, the list is long, but an example would be Doug Valentine's work about Operation Phoenix. For a more unorthodox look into the Bush connection,…
