[size="2"]The tenet of conspiracy has been
a dominant force in all history, yet
many cannot see it at work today.[/size][/floatleft]Conspiracy. One of the darkest words in the language of man. Yet there is hardly a single page of history that does not partially reveal the deadly eye of conspiracy at work. It was a conspiracy that directed Brutus against Caesar in the Roman Senate on the Ides of March. It was a conspiracy that plotted the betrayal of West Point by Benedict Arnold during the American Revolution. It was a conspiracy that led John Wilkes Booth to the assassination of President Lincoln on Good Friday, 1865.
The past record of man is burdened with accounts of assassinations, secret combines, palace plots, and betrayals in war. The tenet of conspiracy has been a dominant force in all history. But in spite of this clear record, an amazing number of people have begun to scoff at the possibility of conspiracy at work today. They dismiss such an idea merely as "a conspiratorial view of history."

[size="2"]Joe Valvachi, one-time mobster-
murderer, is shown as he testified
before the Senate Rackets
Committee. Once a member of the
Cosa Nostra, Valachi spilled out to
the public a tale of conspiracy,
crime, and racketeering. The Mafia
reportedly put a price of $100.000
on his head to any member of the
organization who could silence him.[/size][/floatright]The purpose of this presentation is to show that the conspiratorial view of history ââ¬â particularly of recent history ââ¬â is the correct view; that there is a secret and powerful combine at work today; that it constitutes the unseen government of the United States: and that it properly can be identified as The Capitalist Conspiracy.
In 1963, the nation was held spellbound by the testimony of gangster Joe Valachi as he exposed the inside workings of the international crime syndicate known as the Cosa Nostra or the Mafia. No matter how carefully criminal conspiracies are organized, eventually they are exposed because someone on the inside goes to the authorities and talks.
The same is true with political conspiracies. For instance, over the years there has been a steady stream of defectors from the Communist apparatus and, through their testimony, we now have a clear idea of how that conspiracy is organized and operated.
But one large piece of the puzzle always has been missing. It is a matter of record that some of the greatest help to world Communism often has come from prominent and respectable leaders within the United States. Obviously, these men are not Communists. As a matter of fact, most of them are extremely wealthy and are thought of as capitalists who, supposedly, would have the most to lose under socialism and Communism.
And yet the record is disturbingly consistent, the Americans repeatedly have asked why? Why have some of the richest people in the United States ââ¬â both in and outside of government ââ¬â aligned themselves with leftist policies that would appear to be the path to their own destruction? And if there is a conspiracy at work among these men, why hasn't someone on the inside exposed it? The answer is, someone has!
Stay tuned...
