"The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, kings and ministers, but also with secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the last moment upset all the governments’ plans." - British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, Sep. 10, 1876
"It is not emperors or kings, nor princes, that direct the course of affairs in the East. There is something else over them and behind them; and that thing is more powerful than them." - Henry Edward Manning, Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, Oct. 1, 1877
"It bends governments to its will sometimes by promises, sometimes by threats. It has found its way into every class of Society, and forms an invisible and irresponsible power, an independent government, as it were, within the body corporate of the lawful state." - Pope Leo XIII, 1902
"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." - President Woodrow Wilson, 1913
"...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 'the 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." - John F. Hylan, mayor of New York City (1918-25), March 26, 1922
"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson." - letter dated November 21, 1933, from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Colonel Edward House
"The government of the Western nations, whether monarchical or republican, had passed into the invisible hands of a plutocracy, international in power and grasp. It was, I venture to suggest, this semi-occult power which … pushed the masses of the American people into the cauldron of World War I." - British military historian Major General John Frederick Charles Fuller, 1941
"Fifty men have run America and that’s a high figure." - Joseph Kennedy, patriarch of the Kennedy family, New York Times, July 26, 1936
"The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes." - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, 1952
"There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the radical Right believes the Communists 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 know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960’s, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments ... 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 ... because the American branch of this organization (sometimes called the ‘Eastern Establishment’) has played a very significant role in the history of the United States in the last generation." - Dr. Carroll Quigley, a professor of history at the Foreign Service School of Georgetown University, in his book Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time, 1966 [This is the same Carroll Quigley to whom Bill Clinton referred in his acceptance speech at the Democratic Convention in 1992.]
"The developing coherence of Asian regional thinking is reflected in a disposition to consider problems and loyalties in regional terms, and to evolve regional approaches to development needs and to the evolution of a new world order." - Richard Nixon writing in the Council on Foreign Relation's (CFR) journal, Foreign Affairs, Oct. 1967

"When in the course of history the threat of extinction confronts mankind, it is necessary for the people of the United States to declare their interdependence with the people of all nations and to embrace those principles and build those institutions which will enable mankind to survive and civilization to flourish. Two centuries ago our forefathers brought forth a new nation; now we must join with others to bring forth a new world order...Narrow notions of national sovereignty must not be permitted to curtail that obligation...We summon all Mankind to unity to meet the great challenge." - "A Declaration of Interdependence," written by the historian Henry Steele Commager, signed by 32 Senators and 92 Representatives in Congress in 1975
Congresswoman Marjorie Holt refused to sign the Declaration of Interdependence. She claimed that “It calls for the surrender of our national sovereignty to international organizations. It declares that our economy should be regulated by international authorities. It proposes that we enter a ‘new world order’ that would redistribute the wealth created by the American people.”
“We must replace balance of power politics with world order politics.” - Jimmy Carter during the 1976 Presidential campaign
“I want to assure you that the relations of the United States with the other countries and peoples of the world will be guided during my own Administration by our desire to shape a world order that is more responsive to human aspirations.

"We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations a new world order -- a world where the rule of law, not the law of the jungle, governs the conduct of nations.

W. Bush, January 16, 1990
“A new partnership of nations has begun. We stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment. The crisis in the Persian Gulf, as grave as it is, offers a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective -- a New World Order -- can emerge: a new era -- freer from the threat of terror, stronger in the pursuit of justice, and more secure in the quest for peace. An era in which the nations of the world, East and West, North and South, can prosper and live in harmony. A hundred generations have searched for this elusive path to peace, while a thousand wars raged across the span of human endeavor. Today that new world is struggling to be born, a world quite different from the one we've known..." - President George H. W. Bush, September 11, 1990
“We believe we are creating the beginning of a New World Order coming out of the collapse of the U.S.-Soviet antagonisms.” - Lt. Gen. Brent Scowcroft, a CFR member and former aide to Henry Kissinger, who was the National Security Advisor to Bush, in CNN interview, August 25, 1990

"What is at stake is more than one small country; it is a big idea: a new world order, where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind -- peace and security, freedom, and the rule of law...We will succeed in the Gulf. And when we do, the world community will have sent an enduring warning to any dictator or despot, present or future, who contemplates outlaw aggression. The world can, therefore, seize this opportunity to fulfill the long-held promise of a new world order, where brutality will go unrewarded and aggression will meet collective resistance." - President George H. W. Bush, January 29, 1991

“The New World Order is a world that has supernational authority to regulate the world commerce and industry; an international organization that would control the production and consumption of oil; an international currency that would replace the dollar; a World Development Fund that would make funds available to free and Communist nations alike; and an international police force to enforce the edicts of the New World Order.” - Former West German Chancellor Willy Brandt
"We’ve got to win over hearts and minds. We’ve got to invest in countries that have no educational infrastructure, have no means for young people to get ahead.

"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. ... corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed." - Abraham Lincoln, Nov. 21, 1864
