Introduction
"Meanwhile we shall express our darker purpose" - King Lear, Act 1:Sc1.
 The purpose of this piece is to introduce the reader to the possibility that muchof what we typically believe about our world, notably its history and its politicalstructure, may be some distance from the truth. In writing it is not my
 
intention to reveal some vast, secret government or destiny, but simply toallow interested readers to indulge themselves in the exercise of re-evaluating just what is going on around us. Whether or not anyone chooses to believe thescenario portrayed is entirely up to him or her. I make no categoricalstatements about "how the world is" because our interpretation of our worldand the events of our lives is ultimately an entirely subjective experience.In presenting this alternative interpretation of our world, I have simply gonestraight into the "conspiracy theory" version of history with scant regard forquite viable alternative explanations for much of what has happened in recentyears. Put simply, I have for the purpose of this exercise quite deliberatelyselected the most negative explanation or outcome for any series of eventsportrayed. If the reader finds following this piece stressful, then I advise him orher to always keep in mind that there are many other ways of looking at ourworld and, even if the "worst-case scenario" were true, then simply recognizingthe problem would quickly bring about its reversal.Nick Sandberg, Feb 2001 /////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\/////////////This piece is split into four sections. The first section consists of a basicoverview of our recent history and possible destiny from the perspective of anincreasingly popular "conspiracy theory." The second looks at the means bywhich such a plan might be being kept from our awareness. The third examinessome basic concepts that can be put to use in the manipulation of largepopulation groups. And the fourth looks at what believers or concerned citizensmight do to hijack this process.People from a wide variety of backgrounds are increasingly willing to takeseriously the notion that much of what we are taught of our history is somedistance from the truth. In accordance with classic "conspiracy theory" beliefs,they believe that the degree of randomness ascribed to much of what hashappened in the last few centuries is excessive, and that, behind the scenes, acoherent negative force is manipulating the events of our lives for its own ends.It is believed that there exists an "elite cabal" at the apex of banking andindustry, operating through government and the media, and controlling ourpolitical, social and personal lives to ever-increasing degrees. This elite grouphas been pursuing its ambitions for centuries and is operating to an agendaentirely not in our interest. It has ruthlessly manipulated the political landscapevia the strategic destabilization and reorganization of nation states; and itsultimate objective is to take the incredibly diverse range of human culturesonce existing on Earth and slowly mould them into a single, homogenizedtrading and consuming block under their centralized control.The principal means by which it is believed this group is seeking to do this isvia the expansion of their own developmental prototype for world culture -America; a set of cultural values that is systematically being expanded acrossthe world, progressively eliminating a wealth of ancient peoples and beliefs,and leaving in their place a standardized, consumerist stereotype.The ultimate goal of this proposed elite group is to bring about a single globalmarketplace, controlled by a world government, policed by a world army,financially regulated by a world bank via a single global currency, andpopulated by a microchipped population connected to a global computer, acomputer that both monitors and updates our personal location and financialstatus, and regulates our emotional state via transmitted electrical signals -technology that already exists.
 
This ambition of thus rendering the Earth a "prison planet" - a self-contained,interactive social structure under total centralized control - is chiefly beingpursued via activities in two areas - commerce and culture. In "commerce," theelite group have created the corporations, the vehicles for the planet'senslavement, and in "culture," the elite group have created both the driversand passengers of those vehicles - us.The historical roots of this "elite group" stretch back into the mists of time. Butthe development of the modern banking system in Middle Ages Europeprovides a useful starting point for a look at their activities. The reader shouldnote that, in describing the activities of this proposed elite cabal, I have had togive them a name, that name usually being simply "the elite."
Part One - The World Outside
A Brief History of Banking
"Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws" - Amshall Rothschild 
 In the recent era, the story of "the elite" commences with the development of the modern banking system in Middle Ages Europe. At that time, disposablewealth was usually held in the form of gold or silver bullion. For safety, suchassets were kept in the safe of the local goldsmith, he usually being the onlyindividual who had a vault on his premises. The goldsmith would issue a receiptfor the deposit and, to undertake financial transactions, the buyer wouldwithdraw his gold and give it to the seller, who would then deposit it again,frequently with the same goldsmith. As this was a time-consuming process, itbecame common practice for people to simply exchange smiths' receipts whenconducting financial transactions. As time passed, the goldsmiths began toissue receipts for specific values of gold, making buying and selling easier still.The smiths' receipts thus became the first banknotes.The goldsmiths, now fledgling bankers, noticed that at any one time only asmall proportion of the gold held with them was being withdrawn. So they hitupon the idea of issuing more of the receipt notes themselves, notes that didnot refer to any actual deposited wealth. By giving these receipts to peopleseeking capital, in the form of loans, the goldsmiths could use the moneydeposited with them by others to make money for themselves. It was foundthat, for every unit of gold held by the goldsmith, ten times the sum could besafely issued as notes without anyone usually becoming any the wiser. If agoldsmith held, say, 100 pounds of other people's gold in his vaults, he couldissue banknotes to the value of 1000 pounds. As long as no more than 10percent of the holders of those notes wanted their gold at any one time, no onewould realize the fraud being perpetrated. This practice, known as "fractionalreserve lending," continues to this day and is actually the backbone of themodern banking industry. Banks typically loan ten times their actual financialholdings, meaning 90% of the money they lend does not now, never has, andnever will exist.Loans issued by the goldsmiths had to be paid back to them with interest,meaning non-existent money slowly became converted to tangible assets in theform of goods and labour. Should the loan be defaulted upon, the banker hadthe right to seize the defaulter's property. As time passed, therefore, the
