World’s Secret Shadow Government: Conspiracy Theory or Frighteningly Real?
WORLD’S SECRET SHADOW GOVERNMENT: CONSPIRACY THEORY OR FRIGHTENINGLY REAL?
Is the famous conspiracy about a secret government that runs the world completely nonsense or does the idea actually have any supporting evidence?
Conspiracy theories — hypotheses claiming that historical events could have occurred due to the nefarious actions by hidden parties — still remain largely neglected by researchers and considered as implausible and irrelevant.
On the other hand, conspiracy theories usually attract a lot of attention from a wide array of people, prompting heated debate on issues ranging from the world’s shadow government to the chances of an alien invasion taking place. While most researchers do not take these theories seriously, some scholars insist that they do deserve attention.
The “cryptocracy,” or shadow government, concept is one of the most popular. According to this belief, real and actual political power does not reside with democratically elected public representatives, but with an elite set of individuals who exercise power behind the scenes.
This secret government is not responsible to democratic institutions. Furthermore, according to conspirologists, official governments are subservient to it.
The Bilderberg Group
The shadow government theory supporters point their finger at the Bilderberg Group (Bilderberg Club), a private organization founded in 1954. The Group annually brings together up to 150 political leaders and experts from academia, finance, media and industry in order to discuss the most burning political and economic issues.
Madrid-based author and investigative journalist Daniel Estulin is a longtime watcher of the secret group. In one of his books, entitled “The True Story of the Bilderberg Group” (La Verdadera Historia del Club Bilderberg), the author provided a report of the organizations’ purported mission.
According to the investigative journalist, the Group is considering the creation of “a One World Government (World Company) with a single, global marketplace, policed by one world army, and financially regulated by one ‘World (Central) Bank’ using one global currency.”
Estulin believes that among the Group’s major objectives are: centralized control of all foreign and domestic policies; a New World Order with no middle class (just “rulers and servants”); one international identity and one set of “universal” values; “mind control” of the world’s population; imposing a universal legal system; making NATO the world’s military; manufactured crises and perpetual wars etc.
The author points out that the Bilderberg Club is not acting alone. It has influential secret partners — two groups of “global power brokers”: the US-based Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and The Trilateral Commission, founded in 1973 by David Rockefeller, who is at the same time a leading Bilderberger and CFR Chairman Emeritus.
The triple alliance is advocating a global super state with the US and other nations ceding their sovereignty to a global central power.
However, according to other researchers, the Club is unfairly demonized. Regardless of their purported goals, neither the Bilderberg Group nor CFR with the Trilateral Commission have got enough political and economic resources to rule the world, experts say, insisting that evidently “the devil” is not so black as he is painted by conspirologists.
Le Cercle
At the same time, there are analysts who believe that Bilderberg is just the tip of the iceberg and refer to another influential secret group — Le Cercle — also established during the Cold War era.
Le Cercle is not as well-known as the widely discussed Bilderberg Group. It was founded in the early 1950s as an elite clandestine forum targeted against the USSR.
According to investigative journalist David Teacher, the little known but powerful Le Cercle (or Pinay Cercle) has been focused on domestic subversion and has used its network of propagandists and intelligence agents to carry out smear campaigns against progressive European and US politicians in order to promote their favored candidates. Teacher pointed out that the group played a crucial role in the fall of the Iron Curtain and then orchestrated the integration of Eastern Europe into the European Union.
For instance, in the late 1970s Le Cercle supported NATO’s decision to station new medium-range nuclear weapons — Cruise and Pershing II missiles — in Britain, Germany, Belgium and Holland targeted against the USSR. Le Cercle helped to discredit the European peace protest movement which emerged against the backdrop of the nuclearization of Europe through aggressive counter-intelligence, provocations and disinformation.
However, analysts should neither exaggerate nor demonize the impact of parapolitical secret entities on history, according to Andrei Fursov, a Russian historian and researcher at the Institute of Scientific Information on Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS).
The historian insists that there is no such thing as a “shadow government” that rules the world. He warns researchers against making wild claims about the true nature of transnational clandestine groups, stressing that they are “very routine” structures of global financial and political elites. The primary role of these entities is to serve as a platform for coordination and cooperation of the world’s “power-brokers” interrelated competing groups.
The roots of these clandestine forums lie deep in European history and are closely connected with the development of capitalism, according to Fursov.
Remarkably, in the 17-18th century European financial moguls used Masonic transnational networks in order to expand their trade connections, evading at the same time government control, the historian noted.
In the book “De Conspiratione” (“About Conspiracy”) Fursov analyzed the genesis of European capitalism and provided evidence showing that transnational clandestine organizations are an integral part of the capitalist system.
However, the “secret history” of clandestine organizations remains largely neglected although a lot of information about their activities has recently surfaced.
Referring to this fact, Andrei Fursov cited the Father Brown Stories written by English novelist G. K. Chesterton:
