Don't be fooled. Whether you believe there is a shadow government, or not; whether you believe the conspiracy theories, or not; there is a real desire by certain individuals for a global system of governance built on the principles of big government control.
"The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls
its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation." - Mayor (1918-1925) John F. Hylan of New York.
"I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." - General Douglas MacArthur
"We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether
World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent." - Statement made before the
United States Senate on Feb. 7, 1950 by James Paul Warburg
"This present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be built, will not be open for too long - We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order" - David Rockefeller, addressing the United Nations Ambassador Dinner, September 14, 1994
“Out of these troubled times, our objective—a new world order—can emerge. Today, that new world is struggling to be born, a world quite different from the one we have known.” - George Herbert Walker Bush: September 11, 1990

"The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise their power from behind the scenes." - Justice Felix Frankfurter, U.S. Supreme Court.
"Fundamental Bible-believing people do not have the right to indoctrinate their children in their
religious beliefs because we, the state, are preparing them for the year 2000, when America will be

"When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical
Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of freedom to Americans..." "And so a lot of people say there's
too much personal freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it.
That's what we did in the announcement I made last weekend on the Housing Projects, about how
we're going to have weapon sweeps and more things like that to try to make the people feel safer
in their communities" - President Bill Clinton 3-22-94, MTV's "Enough is Enough"

"If a nation values anything more than freedom, then it will lose it's freedom; and the irony of it is
that if it is comfort and security that it values, it will lose that too. Unknown Americans must decide: Are we to be governed by Americans or by an International organization ? I, for one, owe no
allegiance to the United Nations nor will I give it any. I obey only the U.S. Constitution. You had
better think about this issue, for if the U.N. can violate the Sovereignty of Haiti, Iraq and other
countries, it can violate ours...The United States may not be the top dog 15 years from now. U.N.
security council resolutions, backed by say Chinese soldiers, could be aimed at us." - Charley
Reese-Orlando Sentinel
"I would support a Presidential candidate who pledged to take the following steps: ...

"How I Learned to Love the New World Order" -article by Sen. Joseph R. Biden, Jr. in the Wall Street Journal (April 1992)
“Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order [referring to the 1991 riots in Los Angeles]. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond [i.e., an "extraterrestrial" invasion], whether real or promulgated [emphasis in original], that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the world government.” - Henry Kissinger, May 21, 1992, at a Bilderberg meeting held in Evian, France

“The president-elect is coming into office at a moment when there is upheaval in many parts of the world simultaneously. “You have India, Pakistan; you have the jihadist movement. So he can’t really say there is one problem, that it’s the most important one. But he can give new impetus to American foreign policy partly because the reception of him is so extraordinary around the world. His task will be to develop an overall strategy for America in this period when, really, a new world order can be created. It’s a great opportunity, it isn’t just a crisis.” - Henry Kissinger regarding incoming President Barack Obama, January 2009
“We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” - Barack Obama, October 30, 2008, at the University of Missouri at Columbia
