Important Book
In the conspiracy apocrypha there are quotes that if you search-engine them, can't be verified. One of them is when Rockefeller thanks the New York Times, Time magazine, et. al., "without whose discretion we could not have" so successfully taken over the world. Well, now I know where that quote came from. It was paraphrased by a Bilderberger in attendance to the author, Daniel Estulin. I guess that they don't bother to attribute this quote online to this book, or others by Daniel Estulin, because then it could be called hearsay.
A negative I have of this book is that the author resorts to a fictional style when writing about his personal experiences. "The door opened slowly, and she walked in, cutting through a smoke-filled cloud that seemed to deny the best penetrating gazes of the many attracted men, like moths to a flame." Yech! This style makes the reader less credulous that anything actually happened to the author. Which it likely did. I have no idea why anyone would resort to a fictional style in recounting being acosted by security guards, airport security, secret agents, or former spies. It makes no sense. "The woman walked into the room, and got lots of lecherous looks as she made her way through the opaque lingering smoke." Period.
It is okay as a history book. Anyone who wants to know what happened at Watergate must read this book. Although I knew a lot about James Carter, for instance, I did not know that he was already linked to corrupt banking practices even before being selected by the Bilderbergers to become president. After which he hired hundreds of Trilaterals.
It gets a little long in parts and it's okay just to skip over. There are exhaustive details about the plan to unite Canada and Mexico into a North American Union. The world cup is coming to North America in a few years. Anyone with eyes can see that this plan is going full steam ahead, and threatens the sovereignty of all three nations. The exhaustive details are too dry. The only detail that I was interested to learn was how the plan includes a separatist state for Quebec.
It was a great and memorable book, and the only book I know that mentions another book I like, Holly Sklar's 1980 book "Trilateralism." She edited this book, and it is an important, historical work, in my opinion. That Daniel Estulin's book recognizes that is to his credit.
