[size="2"]If those who seek world domination can stimulate leftist mobs into

violent confrontation with local law enforcement, and also provide

exhaustive news coverage so that the entire nation can see and

tremble, then the peaceful and freedom loving majority can be

programmed to a vast expansion of government powers and even a

national police force offered supposedly to end the violence.[/size][/floatleft]After a man has far more money than he possibly can spend for pleasures, what is left to excite him? For those with a ruling-class mentality, the answer is power – raw power over other human beings. Money can buy such power only to a point. Beyond that, politics is the sport. And world politics is the ultimate game.

[size="2"]If those who seek world domination can raise the spectre of an enemy

armed to the teeth with superior atomic weapons on the verge of

launching a nuclear holocaust, and also offer world government as a

prevention, then millions of Americans can be programmed to accept

the loss of national sovereignty as “our last best hope for peace.” This

is the meaning of “pressure from above and below.” To put over police

state measures at home, they need chaos, crime and anarchy in the

streets. To sell, the dea of world government, they need the constant

threat of nuclear war. Or, as they say in revolutionary circles, the real

action is in the reaction.[/size][/floatright]For the purposes of this presentation, we have referred to those in the international power structure as capitalists. But these men are not really capitalists in the classical sense; they are merely rich socialists. They have gained vast wealth, not through honest competition and free enterprise, but by political influence and favoritism, the granting of government protection to eliminate competition, and by gigantic fraud of the money system backed by government force.



Money alone is not what motivates these men. They are striving to create a world super-state with the expectation that, from behind the scenes, they will be the ones who will rule. Not free enterprise capitalism, but big government is the conspiracy's life-force. World government is its ultimate goal.



[floatright]"Pressure from above and below" is the

revolutionary strategy of deliberately

creating problems and then offering only

those solutions that result in the expansion

of government.[/floatright]The answer is simple. In revolutionary literature the tactic is known as "Pressure from above and below." It is the strategy that Colonel House laid down in his book Philip Dru, Administrator. Deliberately create problems, and then offer only those solutions that result in the expansion of government. Create conditions so frightful at home and abroad that the abandonment of personal liberties and national sovereignty will appear as a reasonable price for a return to domestic tranquility and world peace.
