Creature From Jekyll Island by G. Edward полностью

It is highly doubtful whether the American public, to take just oneexample, could ever accept that countries with oppressive autocraticregimes should vote on the monetary policy that would affectmonetary conditions in the United States.... For such a bold step towork at all, it presupposes a certain convergence of political values....

Phrases such as, monetary coordination mechanisms, modern world economic order, convergence of political values, or new world order are not very specific. To the average person, they sound pleasant and harmless. Yet, to the insiders of the club, they are code phrases which have a specific meaning: the termination of national sovereignty and the creation of world government. CFR member,

Richard Gardner—another adviser to President Carter—explains the meaning of these phrases and also calls for the Fabian strategy of deception and gradualism:

In short, the "house of world order" will have to be built from thebottom up.... An end run around national sovereignty, eroding itpiece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashionedfrontal assault.

As for the programmed decline of the American economy, CFR

member Samuel Huntington argues that, if higher education is 1 • "A Monetary System for the Future," by Richard N. Cooper, Foreign Affairs, Fall, pp. 166,177,184.

THE CREATURE FROM JEKYLL ISLAND

considered to be desirable for the general population, "a program is then necessary to lower the job expectations of those who receive a college education."1 CFR member Paul Volcker, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve, says: "The standard of living of the average American has to decline.... I don't think you can escape that."2

By 1993, Volcker had become the U.S. Chairman of the Trilateral Commission. The TLC was created by David Rockefeller to coordinate the building of The New World Order in accordance with the Gardner strategy: "An end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece." The objective is to draw the United States, Mexico, Canada, Japan, and Western Europe into political and economic union. Under slogans such as free trade and environmental protection, each nation is to surrender its sovereignty "piece by piece" until a full-blown regional government emerges from the process. The new government will control each nation's working conditions, wages, and taxes. Once that has happened, it will be a relatively simple step to merge the regionals into global government. That is the reality behind the so-called trade treaties within the European Union (EU), the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation agreement (APEC), and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). They have little to do with trade. In the Trilateral Commission's annual report for 1993, Volcker explains: Interdependence is driving our countries toward convergence in areas once considered fully within the domestic purview. Some of these areas involve government regulatory policy, such as environmental standards, the fair treatment of workers, and taxation."

In 1992, the Trilateral Commission released a report co-

authored by Toyoo Gyohten, Chairman of the Board of the Bank of Tokyo and formerly Japan's Minister of Finance for International Affairs. Gyohten had been a Fulbright Scholar who was trained at Princeton and taught at Harvard Business School. He also had been in charge of the Japan Desk of the International Monetary Fund. In short, he represents the Japanese monetary interests within The 1. Michael Crozier, Samuel P.
