Aw, c’mon, Sam. The OP may have taken a few too many hits off the hookah, but shouldn’t a mod link to the original column even after wading hip deep through the huzzanga?*
AbJack may be spewing flippitywee in most of his post, but there is one element of truth in it. At Victory Field ballpark, on the third base side, there a Build-A-Burger stand next to the snack bar. Every time I went to a ball game, the Build-A-Burgers had a lot of customers.
I can not tell you much about any so called “conspiracy theories”. However, I would like to recommend that you read David Rockefeller’s book “Memoirs” (published by Random House in 2002). On page 405 of his book, Rockefeller states:
“For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure
– one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”
Inordinate means not within proper limits; excessive; unrestrained in conduct.
Cabal is another word for “conspiracy.”
What is the conspiracy?
He is “working against the best interests of the United States.”
Although I could give several examples of how the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations has been committing these acts of treason against our country, it seems to me that his admission of guilt is sufficient.
You’ll excuse me for trying to insert a touch of the rational into a discussion of conspiracy theories. I realize how inordinately much that is hated by the cabal. However, neither inordinate nor cabal are Rockefeller’s words; they are attacks made by his enemies.
Nor does Rockefeller admit that either of those terms are true. What he admits to is that he is working "to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. "
Now, it is obvious that globalization is the future. It is coming and it cannot be stopped. There is a legitimate argument over whether globalization is positive overall, what aspects of globalization are positive, and for whom those aspects are positive.
There is also a legitimate argument over the extent to which building an international community is positive.
Still, absolutely none of what Rockefeller has done is known to have been done in secret. Not can it be said that working for greater international economic and political cooperation is against the interests of the United States per se. Virtually everybody other than conspiracy theorists believe instead that is a good thing, an important thing, a necessary and vital thing, and it is those working to halt these efforts that are moving against the interests of the United States.
Treason? Hardly. There is no rational case to be made for that. And you certainly haven’t bothered to make even an irrational case. Merely proclaiming that something totally nebulous is an act of treason isn’t an argument at all. It’s a reason to ignore you.
