1991[10], 37 pages. Originally delivered to the Lawrence Patterson Financial Strategy Organization in 1991 as a legal opinion upon the 80th anniversary of the secret writing of the Federal Reserve Act at Jekyll Island. "It would be difficult to read into this phrase (the general welfare) any ambiguity, or any opportunity for demagoguery, and yet such a purpose was found. In this book, we have a dual purpose, first, to explain how ruthless men adopted this phrase to further their great conspiracy against America, and second, the techniques which they employed to incorporate this phrase as the very cornerstone of their Welfare State, a creation which they intended as the replacement for the free republic of the United States. From the powers derived from that overthrow, they confidently anticipate that they will now initiate what they fondly refer to as "the New World Order". - from Author's Foreword. Clean and unmarked with light wear. Glossy navy covers with gilt lettering and decoration. A quality copy. Book
