Of the four types of Conspiracy Theories, the most widely held have to do with the Council on Foreign Relations-CFR/Tri-Lateral Commission-TLC. Was Dr. Carroll Quigley a friend or foe of truth? Most patriotic-loving Americans are pretty sure that they have the whole truth based on Quigley's Tragedy and Hope. However, they only refer to page 950 of his book and not page 949, for example [Conspiracy, How the Paranoid Style Flourishes and Where it Comes From, Daniel Pipes, 1997, pgs. 21-33].
The simple whole truth is that all these Conspiracy Theories are false! They are false for one very simple and most important reason. These Conspiracy Theories do not include the actual reality and continued existence of the Permanent Revolution. The Permanent Revolution is the continuous economic evolution for a Socialistic form of control through the eventual establishment of Capitalism (American/British) as the sole means of production for the Global Society [See The Permanent Revolution, www.proliberty.com for a more complete definition of the Permanent Revolution].
Unfortunately Americans were not educated adequately enough to understand what true Socialism is. We are unable to identify it even if it hit us in the face! For that reason, many of the "most popular" conspiracy theories are very convincing. They contain "just enough truth" to be persuasive. This reality is described by Daniel Pipes (member of the CFR/TLC) in pages 32 through 33 of his 1997 book Conspiracy. Pipes observed the most effective means of gaining "public acceptance" for a Conspiracy Theory is when,
"those in the know sometimes endorse conspiracy theories, thereby muddying the waters.
Perhaps most revealing was the confession by a member of the American elite, Carroll Quigley of Georgetown University:
There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates to some extent, the way the Radical Right believes the Communist act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups, and frequently does so. I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it and to many of its instruments[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."
Daniel Pipes "gives" the appearance he is quoting the "entire" first paragraph of page 950 of Tragedy and Hope, which most assume is the "John 3:16" for the patriotic Radical Right "Save the Republic" community). However, Pipes has not given you the whole truth. He did not quote the entire first paragraph of page 950. Daniel Pipes commits the same historical transgression as Dr. Quigleypurposely muddying the waters of history to mislead people from understanding the whole truth. Why is it that both Quigley and Pipes, along with the entire Patriot community continue to miss the same thing? Mr. Pipes completely "eliminates" the first sentence of the first paragraph of page 950. It is a simple declarative sentence,
"This myth, like all fables, does in fact have a modicum of truth."
