Rockefeller told him, “The end goal is to get everybody chipped, to control the whole society, to have the bankers and the elite people control the world.”
    Catherine Austin Fitts, assistant secretary of housing during the George H. W. Bush presidency, wrote in early 2009: “In the fall of 2001 I attended a private investment conference in London to give a paper, ‘The Myth of the Rule of Law or How the Money Works: The Destruction of Hamilton Securities Group.’ The presentation documented my experience with a Washington–Wall Street partnership that had engineered a fraudulent housing and debt bubble; illegally shifted vast amounts of capital out of the US; used ‘privatization’ as a form of piracy—a pretext to move government assets to private investors at below-market prices and then shift private liabilities back to government at no cost to the private liability holder. Other presenters at the conference included distinguished reporters covering privatization in Eastern Europe and Russia. As the portraits of British ancestors stared down upon us, we listened to story after story of global privatization throughout the 1990s in the Americas, Europe, and Asia.”
    Fitts reiterated Rockefeller’s statement about a New World Order ruled by a global elite. She noted, “As the pieces fit together, we shared a horrifying epiphany: the banks, corporations and investors acting in each global region were the exact same players. They were a relatively small group that reappeared again and again in Russia, Eastern Europe, and Asia accompanied by the same well-known accounting firms and law firms. Clearly, there was a global financial coup d’etat underway.”
    Walter Cronkite, the legendary anchor of CBS News, often referred to as “the most trusted man in America,” also stated his belief that the country was ruled by a small elite. Shortly before his death in July 2009, Cronkite was asked if there was a ruling class in America. “I am afraid there is,” he replied. “I don’t think it serves the democracy well, but that is true, I think there is. The ruling class is the rich who really command our industry, our commerce, our finance. And those people are able to so manipulate our democracy that they really control the democracy, I feel.”
    With the bulk of the public both manipulated and distracted by political parties and the corporate mass media, no one seems capable of discerning, much less opposing, this New World Order of elitists with corporate, family, and class connections and common interests.
    Until the real rulers of America are identified and confronted, no amount of hand-wringing, letter writing, or demonstrating can have any meaningful effect.
    DISSENSION IN THE RANKS
     
    T HE FINANCIAL CALAMITY OF 2008 exposed the New World Order to be in slight disarray even before it was firmly established. Though the Obama administration is rife with men and women well connected to the centers of wealth and power, as will be seen, control over both the economic and social conditions in the United States appeared to be getting out of their hands. There was even dissension in the ranks at the University of Chicago, which many consider to be the center of globalist thinking. The university’s 1995 Nobel Memorial Prize winner in Economic Sciences, Robert E. Lucas, claimed the Obama administration’s stimulus plans are “schlock economics,” while his colleague, Professor of Finance John H. Cochrane, stated they were based on discredited “fairy tales.” Their cry was reminiscent of the term “voodoo economics,” used by George H. W. Bush against Ronald Reagan’s free-enterprise plans during the Republican presidential primaries in 1980.
    Paul Krugman, a New York Times op-ed columnist and winner of the 2008 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, wrote, “As I see it, the economics profession went astray because economists, as a group, mistook beauty, clad in impressive-looking mathematics, for
