Quigley, the grand-daddy of the conspiracy theories, is a man who has been taken very seriously by some of the most powerful men in our country. Bill Clinton paid his respects to Quigley in his first inauguration speech.

But I know, I know ... we're supposed to pretend conspiracies don't exist ... politicians, unelected bureaucrats, and business men who spend millions on campaigns and receive lucrative government contracts, were all born with special DNA that makes them sinless and pure as the wind-driven snow.

The Federal Reserve System is a banking cartel by any honest assessment ... but that was a benevolent creation of the banks for the "greater good" ... or was it "for the children?"
