    ahhh so this is the basis for the new world order conspiracies?

    What conspiracies are those then? There are no conspiracies according to the shills and cranks on this thread!

    I guess all these famous people must have been completely delusional.......

    "We shall have world government whether or not you like it, by conquest or consent."

    Statement by Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member James Warburg to The Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 17th, l950


    "The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes."

    Benjamin Disraeli

    "The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self created screen....At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties."

    New York City Mayor John F. Hylan, 1922


    "The Depression was the calculated 'shearing' of the public by the World Money powers, triggered by the planned sudden shortage of supply of call money in the New York money market....The One World Government leaders and their ever close bankers have now acquired full control of the money and credit machinery of the U.S. via the creation of the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank."

    Curtis Dall, FDR's son-in-law as quoted in his book, My Exploited Father-in-Law


    "I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and
    dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."


    President Woodrow Wilson, after signing the Federal Reserve into existence


    "The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world
    acting in concert, by secret agreements, arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the worlds' central banks which were themselves private corporations. The growth of financial capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic control and use of this power for the
    direct benefit of financiers and the indirect injury of all other economic groups."


    Tragedy and Hope: A History of The World in Our Time (Macmillan Company, 1966,) Professor Carroll Quigley of Georgetown University, highly esteemed by his former student, William Jefferson Blythe Clinton.


    "Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order [referring to the 1991 LA Riot]. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, 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."

    Dr. Henry Kissinger, Bilderberger Conference, Evians, France, 1991


    "We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It
    would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely
    preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries."


    David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, in an address to a meeting of The Trilateral Commission, in June, 1991.


    "We are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world."

    Professor Arnold Toynbee, in a June l931 speech before the Institute for the Study of International Affairs in Copenhagen.


    "In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all."

    Strobe Talbot, President Clinton's Deputy Secretary of State, as quoted in Time, July 20th, l992.

    "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
    -- Thomas Jefferson

    Wow, I had no idea that The United Kingdom was such a powerful force in the world! We are the puppet masters so the USA and the world had better watch out!

    I wonder if France and Germany have twigged that we are dominating Europe? Better not tell them. :shhh:

    Does anybody have a good bread recipe?
  • Sage and Onion Bread recipe

    information

    This is a mouth-watering savoury bread that fills the kitchen with an aroma of herbs as it bakes. Serve it warm with soup, or well buttered with cheese or pate and salad, for a simple lunch. Using dried sage will still give good results.


    ingredients

    1782.jpgThe cracked wheat topping gives an appetising crunch to this deliciously flavoured, close-textured loaf.



    15 g (1/2 oz) fresh yeast or 7.5 ml (1 1/2 tsp) dried
    300 ml (1/2 pint) warm fresh milk
    1 large onion, skinned and finely chopped
    25 g (1 oz) butter
    225 g (8 oz) strong white flour
    225 g (8 oz) strong wholemeal flour
    5 ml (l tsp) salt
    pepper
    30 ml (2 tbsp) chopped fresh sage or 5 ml (1 tsp) dried
    cracked wheat for sprinkling






    method

    1. Blend the fresh yeast with the milk. If using dried yeast, sprinkle it into the milk and leave in a warm place for 15 minutes, until frothy.

    2. Meanwhile, put the onion and the butter in a small saucepan, cover and cook gently for about 5 minutes, until the onion is soft and transparent but not browned

    3. Put the flours, salt, pepper and sage in a large bowl and mix together. Make a well in the centre, then pour in the softened onion and the butter and the yeast liquid. Beat well together until the dough leaves the sides of the bowl clean.

    4. Turn on to a lightly floured surface and knead well for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place in a clean bowl. Cover with a clean tea-towel and leave in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.

    5. Turn the dough on to a floured surface and knead lightly. Divide into two, shape into rounds and place on a large greased baking sheet.

    6. Brush with a little milk and sprinkle with cracked wheat. Cover and leave in a warm place for about 30 minutes, until doubled in size. Bake at 230°C (450°F) mark 8 for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F) mark 6 and bake for a further 15 minutes. When cooked the loaves will be well risen and golden brown, and sound hollow if tapped on the bottom. Cool slightly and serve warm, or turn on to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
