4.0 out of 5 stars Read it for yourself and decide, December 19, 2005

Don Genero "liberty of thought" (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Syndicate: The Story of the Coming World Government (Paperback)

As I am writing this there are 3 reviews, and one of them gives one star, and then goes on to attack the book - without any substantive criticism that I could find.

I think there may be much in this book worth of careful, critical analysis. But simply calling something "amateurish" is not a critique... and it is certainly not substantive. Such is the fodder of the pompous debunker I think - lets leave that closed mindedness to the Universities. Slander is not a counter argument.

What I took from this book was an appreciation for the financial dealings behind world events. It is justifiable to be curious when you learn that Hitler was funded by western bankers - that the Russian revolution was backed by western oil barons interested in mineral rights... and we see the same today as politicians become war profiteers in an Iraq oil grab. One would have to have their head up their ___ not to notice as much.

Hagger does a meticulous job in providing the reader all the information they need to validate the sources, and determine for themselves the value of the material. Much more so then other books of the genre... he provides 20+ pages of detailed notes. The research is the responsability of the reader. I don't necessarily agree with all of his conclusions, but I found the majority of the material very informative and accurate - and strangely in line with other perspectives on the hidden influence behind world events...

Do not depend on infantile slander in the guise of academic critique for guidance on the value of this book... read it and develop your own informed opinions.

Nicholas Hagger's work on the story of the coming World Government is truly outstanding. It is also essential for anyone who would comprehend the complexity of twentieth century history in its entirety.

Hagger fundamentally views modern history as the struggle between elites. In this volume, he focuses on the activities of the Rockefeller and Rothschild groups as they control a larger entity that Hagger styles the Syndicate. In his companion volume to this excellent book, Hagger treated of the revolutionary saga from the Renaissance to the Bolshevik Revolution. There, he illustrated quite convincingly that the key revolutions were brought about by the machinations of Templar and Sionist Rosicrucian freemasonry. In the more modern era, Hagger seems to hold that the commercial interests of the aforementioned elites have, to an extent, transcended the occult formulations of international freemasonry. This is a fascinating thesis, which does explain a great deal.

In terms of particulars, I can report quite honestly that I never truly understood the dynamics of the Suez crisis and of the very strange and sudden disintegration of the Soviet Union until I read Hagger's very important and insightful book. For these insights alone, the book is well worth the time, money, and effort.

In candor, I must report that I cannot agree with all of Hagger's propositions at this point. However, his work is really most outstanding. And to anyone who would appreciate a very unique and terribly insightful exposition of modern history, I heartily recommend this very excellent book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The NWO Guide, December 16, 2004

By 

Vortexjah (Nether Lands) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Syndicate: The Story of the Coming World Government (Paperback)

Finally, a solid book about this pressing matter, and refreshingly without the usual hysteria or excessive speculation. Hagger has done his homework and is initially just concerned with supplying extensive data. Upon this he builds his case: contrary to popular belief, the desire for world domination has never died down. There is a clandestine group, let's call them 'the Syndicate', which desires to achieve this aim. Most of the defining events of the 20th century have been orchestrated by this club, and now the machinery is in place. The world is on the eve of global government, and nothing can prevent it.

However, as Hagger argues, globalization is not a bad thing. Malevolent globalization - that's a bad thing. If we do nothing, the New World Order will manifest very 'Luciferian'. Tyranny under the guise of 'democracy' (sounds familiar?), the masses exploited (and depopulated) for the profits and power of the elite. Just like now, except very much worse. Should we remain asleep and apathetic, things will certainly go this way. Nevertheless, the NWO also has the potential for a 'Christ-like' manifestation (in non-fundamentalist fashion, that is). It could be motivated by true Universalism - Liberty and Equality for All. This depends on whether we'll allow the Syndicate to infect it or not; it depends on whether key politicians can be stimulated to actually serve the people. The dystopia can be prevented, but we need to wake up... quickly.

Through various media we are gradually fed the idea of 'the United States of Europe'. It's part of the stepping-stone approach. What it's really about - the bigger picture - is the subject of this book. Let's ensure maximum awareness before it's too late.
