Ross Perot brought it to our attention in 1992. But he was concerned with Mexico which may be the least of our problems now. The sucking sound we hear today is the value of our currency declining in a cloud of national debt.
In 1988, I read The Shadows of Power, by James Perloff. I skimmed it, didn't give it much credibility and thought the author to be radical. In 2006 I came across that book again and read it thoroughly this time. Then I read it again to make sure I didn't misunderstand.
Perloff's book is about corruption, greed, war, banking, political influence and one-world government via the UN. He took a hard look at the history of the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations), the WB (World Bank) and the IMF (International Monetary Fund). He was convincing because he printed references for every sordid allegation he made.
The world situation today, the economy, politics, banking and especially the antics of the Federal Reserve Board convince me that Perloff was very accurate. The last three administrations in Washington and the current crop of elected officials, supposedly representing the voice of the people, proves that his unbelievable opinions were right on the money.
The Shadows of Power is not an easy read and was never very popular because most people don't like the truth. But, if you want to understand why our politics, economy and society are heading south, it will help you do that. Reading this book may even give you a good sense of direction in your planning for the future.
