It has been commented on many times during the course of history that the average person in most countries has little or no time to spare to think beyond making a living, raising a family and holding down a job to make these objectives possible. This leaves little or no time to attend to politics or matters of economics or other vital issues, such as war and peace that affect their lives and the life of the nation.
Governments know this. So it seems, do highly organized groups operating behind many different front organizations which always have the edge over the citizenry. What the average individual does not know-and will probably never know-is that all great historical events are planned in secret by men in total privacy. Dr. Gerard Encausse in his work
Mysteria
of April 14, 1914 put it this way:
Side by side with the international politics of each State, there exists certain obscure organizations. The men who take part in these councils are not professional politicians or brilliantly dressed ambassadors, but certain unknown men, high financiers, who are superior to the vain ephemeral politicians who imagine that they govern the world.
Such a group were the men of the English East India Company, whose antecedents sprang from the Catharis, the Bogomils and the Albigensians who had originated from Manichean Babylon, and who went on to become the controllers of not only England, but of the whole world. It has been the experience throughout recorded history that one of the common denominator is man's desire to control. No matter what societal structure is examined, there is always a group of certain individuals, in whom the need to control is paramount, and who form themselves into secret societies. Anyone who seeks to expose these societies places himself in danger.
