According to Quigley (writing in the 1960s):

"I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for
twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960's, to examine
its papers and secret records. I have no aversions to it or to most of its
aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its
instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its
policies ... but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes
to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to
be known."

The "Hope" in the title of Quigley's book represents the thousand-year reign
of a collectivist one-world society which will be created when the "network"
achieves its goal of world government. Quigley believed that the "network" is
so powerful at this point that resistance by the common people is futile.
Hence, those who resist the schemes of the globalist planners represent the
"Tragedy." By Dr. Quigley's logic, there is no point in struggling against
the noose around our necks, because resistance will merely guarantee
strangulation.

Dr. Quigley identified the "network" as the "international bankers," men who
were "different from ordinary bankers in distinctive ways: they were
cosmopolitan and international; they were close to governments and were
particularly concerned with questions of government debts...; they were
almost exclusively devoted to secrecy and the secret use of financial
influence in political life. These bankers came to be called international
bankers, and, more particularly, were known as merchant bankers in England,
private bankers in France, and investment bankers in the United States."

The core of control, according to Dr. Quigley, resides in the financial
dynasties of Europe and America who exercise political control through
international financial combines. The primary tactic of control is lending
money at high interest to governments and monarchs during times of crisis. An
example of this is the current national debt in the U.S., which is at five
trillion dollars right now. Every penny of it is owed to the Federal Reserve,
a corporation comprised of thirteen private banks.

According to Dr. Quigley, the Council on Foreign Relations is one of several
front organizations set up by the network's inner circle to advance its
schemes. The ultimate goal: a New World Order.

They've definitely succeeded. You can tell by how everybody's just shuffling along like cows now, too fuckin stupid to even remember history.
