4Certainly many of us are aware that the people who run our government are not the people who really control political and economic issues, domestic and foreign. This has led many of us to seek the truth in the alternative press, those newsletter writers who, like me, have investigated, but not always found, the reasons why the United States is so seriously ill. The injunction 'seek and you shall find' has not always been the case with this group. What we have found is that people mostly live in a kind of obscure fog, not bothering to find out where their country is going, firmly convinced that it will always be there for them. This is how the largest group of the population has been manipulated to react, and their attitude plays right into the hands of the secret government.

We often hear that 'they' are doing this, that or the other thing. 'They' literally seem to be able to get away with murder. 'They' are raising taxes, sending our sons and daughters to die in wars that don't benefit our country. 'They' seem beyond our reach, out of sight, frustrating and nebulous when it would be appropriate to take action against them. No one seems able to clearly identify who 'they' are. It's a situation that has persisted for decades. In the course of this book, we will identify these mysterious 'they' and then it will be up to the people to remedy the situation.

On April 30, 1981, I wrote a monograph revealing the existence of the Club of Rome, identifying it as a subversive organization of the Committee of 300. This site was the first mention of these two organizations in the United States. I warned readers not to be fooled into thinking that the article was far-fetched and drew a parallel between my article and the warning issued by the Bavarian government when the secret plans of the Illuminati fell into its hands. More on the Club of Rome and the role of the Committee of 300 in American affairs later.

Many of the predictions made in that 1981 article have since come true, such as the unknown Felipe Gonzalez becoming Prime Minister of Spain, and Mitterrand returning to power in France; the fall of Giscard d'Estang and Helmut Schmidt; the return to power of Swedish nobleman and Committee of 300 member Olof Palme (who has since been mysteriously murdered); the reversal of Reagan's presidency; and the destruction of our steel, car and housing industries under the Committee of 300's goal of post-industrial zero growth.
