- JOHN G. SCHMITZ UNITED STATES CONGRESSMAN
S. Wilson
Introduction by a Republican politician who a decade later would be ejected from the John Birch Society for extremist rhetoric, then be discovered to have fathered two children in an extramarital affair who he refused to support and refused custody of them after their mother died, and received a very flattering obituary from a Holocaust denial organization upon his own death. Yeah, this is a good start.

When you think about it, there are really only two theories of history. Either things happen by accident neither planned nor caused by anybody, or they happen because they are planned and somebody causes them to happen.
S. Wilson
Actually, if you think about it, both are true.

Maoist can be tolerated by Liberals of Ivory Towerland or by the Establishment's media pundits, but to be a conservative, and a conservative who propounds a conspiratorial view, is absolutely verboten.

Such was the case with the author of this book. It was only because he set out to prove the conservative anti-Communists wrong that he happened to end up writing this book. His initial reaction to the conservative point of view was one of suspicion and hostility; and it was only after many months of intensive research that he had to admit that he had been "conned."
S. Wilson
Gary Allen, a conservative author who was a John Birch Society member and a speech writer for third-party segregationist George Wallace, was somehow not sold on anti-communism until he did some “research”?

It is not true, however, to state that there are no members of the intellectual elite who subscribe to the conspiratorial theory of history. For example, there is Professor Carroll Quigley of the Foreign Service School at Georgetown University.

Carroll Quigley would later state that many of Allen’s conclusions based on his own writings was inaccurate and unfounded.

Socialism is usually defined as government ownership and/or control over the basic means of production and distribution of goods and services.
S. Wilson
Socialism: “A political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.” Allen insists that ‘community’ must mean ‘government’ because otherwise his entire argument is invalid.

CHAPTER 3
S. Wilson
This chapter contains a lot of common sense reasoning that most people would agree with - rich people conspiring to become richer, money corrupting politics - but then used it as the foundation for his theory that all historical financial events have all been meticulously planned by “international bankers,” capping it all with the intentional orchestration of the Crash of 1929.

Not only is a historian's ability to write an "objective" history limited by the sheer volume of happenings, but by the fact that many of the most important happenings never appear in the papers or even in somebody's memoirs.
S. Wilson
Allen is all over the place here. Not being able to access ‘unknown historical events’ (whatever those are) would not prevent a historian’s work from being Objective, just Accurate.

In order to build his case, a historian must select a miniscule number of facts from the limited number that are known.

(Liberal reviewers should have a ball quoting that out of context.)

Another standard Republican gaslighting tactic: Say something questionable, then immediately claim that the “liberal biased media” will “have a field day” with it, so when a reasonable reaction to the quote actually appears, the speaker just shrugs and says “See, I told you they would react that way.”

But it was the international bankers of whom Professor Quigley was speaking when we quoted him earlier as stating that their aim was nothing less than control of the world through finance.
S. Wilson
“None Dare Call It Conspiracy insists that international bankers were a single bloc, were all powerful and remain so today. I, on the contrary, stated in my book that they were much divided, often fought among themselves, had great influence but not control of political life and were sharply reduced in power about 1931-1940, when they became less influential than monopolized industry.” -Carroll Quigley

“If you will look back at every war in Europe during the Nineteenth Century, you will see that they always ended with the establishment of a 'balance of power'. With every reshuffling there was a balance of power in a new grouping around the House of Rothschild in England, France, or Austria. They grouped nations so that if any king got out of line a war would break out and the war would be decided by which way the financing went. Researching the debt positions of the warring nations will usually indicate who was to be punished.”
S. Wilson
This is the only quote I could find online from Professor Stuart Crane, which appears in multiple conspiracy readers and appears to have originated from Dean Henderson’s conspiracy book Big Oil & Their Bankers in the Persian Gulf. For contrast, Henderson’s latest book, Nephilim Crown 5G Apocalypse (July 2019), is about how future G5 technology is actually a vast mind control device.

One major reason for the historical blackout on the role of the international bankers in political history is that the Rothschilds were Jewish. Anti-Semites have played into the hands of the conspiracy by trying to portray the entire conspiracy as Jewish. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

The Jewish members of the conspiracy have used an organization called the Anti-Defamation League as an instrument to try to convince everyone that any mention of the Rothschilds or their allies is an attack on all Jews.
S. Wilson
So Allen assures is that there is no Jewish conspiracy, but still clings to the right-wing claim that the Anti-Defamation League is a devious tool of Jewish conspirators used to prevent people from blaming the Jews for the conspiracy. So it’s not the anti-Semites that are the real bag guys here, but instead the conspiracy that has both duped the anti-Semites into believing in a Jewish conspiracy and also created an organization specifically to prevent the anti-Semites from voicing that same opinion.

And, curiously enough, the Federal Reserve System has never been audited and has firmly resisted all attempts by House Banking Committee Chairman Wright Patman to have it audited. (N.Y. Times, Sept. 14, 1967.)
S. Wilson
This is intentionally misleading. The Fed has several different types of audits conducted annually, and the source of the audits varies over time. Some aspects of the Fed are exempt from the GAO audits, supposedly to protect foreign investors, and this is what failed Audit Bills have been designed to include. So yes, there are those who believe the Fed isn’t audited enough, but saying the Fed has never been audited is incorrect.

What Allen basically does here is use Kolko’s theory of Liberal Corporatism to support his global conspiracy argument, but it only works for him is you assume that when Kolko complained about “big business,” he really meant “socialist international bankers.”

The escape hatch for the Insiders to avoid paying taxes was ready. By the time the Amendment had been approved by the states (even before the income-tax was passed), the Rockefellers and Carnegie foundations were in full operation.
S. Wilson
Again... Allen’s basic argument that the ultra-rich conspired to manipulate legislation to protect themselves from the inevitable graduated taxation makes perfect sense, but then he goes one step further by declaring it not a mere cautionary move to secure and protect wealth, but instead the work of international socialist bankers.

While all of the standard reasons given for the outbreak of World War I in Europe doubtless were factors, there were also other more important causes. The conspiracy had been planning the war for over two decades.

After years of fighting, the war was a complete stalemate and would have ended almost immediately in a negotiated settlement (as had most other European conflicts) had not the U. S. declared war on Germany.

Schiff spent millions to overthrow the Czar and more millions to overthrow Kerensky. He was sending money to Russia long after the true character of the Bolsheviks was known to the world. Schiff raised $10 million, supposedly for Jewish war relief in Russia, but later events revealed it to be a good business investment.
S. Wilson
Schiff’s loans to multiple nations to oppose Germany in WWI were primarily due to his own German roots and sympathy for the Jewish people. He refused to loan money to Russia until the tsar was toppled and The new government declared Jews to be equal citizens, and stopped immediately when Lenin and Trotsky seized power.
