>
> "We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time

humanity.
> The

is

> This speech was made 17 years ago. It came at the beginning in the
U.S. of

"us," he

> Not only has "us" developed a "plan for the world," but the attempt

toward
> a "world government which will never again know war."

is

give the

gave

have

whether

he

no

>
> The implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement by the
Bill

of

U.S.

>
> Similar free trade agreements, including those under the auspices of
the

>
> Average family income in the U.S. has steadily eroded while the share
of

Wall

number

>
> The housing bubble has led to a huge inflation of real estate prices
in
> the
> U.S. Millions of homes are falling into the hands of the bankers
through

family

people

>
> The fact that bankers now control national monetary systems in their

interest, has
