I was privileged some years ago to meet and interview this lady, Deirdre Manifold, the author of this book. She was born as Bridget Courtney 6/3/1914 to John Joseph Courtney and his wife Margaret née Reilly, on a farm in Addergoole, in the Parish of Killererin, about three miles out the Dublin Road, South East, of Tuam Co. Galway. (Her father (1861-1934) was earlier married to Bridget née Donnellan who died in 1907, and hence she had step siblings.) John Joseph had been a stone mason in Cincinnati in the USA but had come home and bought that farm, near enough the homeplace in Omaun More (frequently spelt Immanemore) near Barnaderg. Both her parents were dead by the time she was 20 and so she went to work in Dublin, first with Iarnród Éireann and then the Civil Service.
Influenced it seems by people like Joe Hanley, from Barnaderg, she became very involved with the Legion of Mary and in fact knew Frank Duff. In Dublin she was for five years the recognised girlfriend of none other than Patrick Kavanagh, the poet, but fell out with him when he wouldn’t come to Lough Derg with her and instead she married William Manifold, who worked in the car business in Limerick, in 1955. In time they moved to Salthill in Galway running a car hire business and later a minibus for the handicapped.
She had always been something of a campaigner on what might be considered Catholic issues, for example opposing contraception in 1975 in Galway, against one Michael D. Higgins, but in 1982 she decided to go into writing as she explains in the foreword to her first book:
“On New Year’s Day, 1982, a friend and I were discussing the awful state of the world and why this era should seem to be like no other era in history. I asked him: “Do you accept the accidental theory of history, or do you believe in the insider-Conspiratorial theory of history?”
He looked at me and said: “What exactly do you mean by the accidental theory of history or the Conspiratorial theory of history?”
My reply was something like this: “Do you really believe that everything that has happened, in this century say, has happened by accident, say for instance the two great wars, the depression in between, all the local no-win wars ever since, and now the massive unemployment and the frightening inflation rate, do you really believe that mankind has no control over them, that like earthquakes they just happen and we have to make the best of them?”
His reply to that was “I’m afraid I never seriously gave it much thought, I just accept what the newspapers say.”
Then I asked him if he had ever heard what Disraeli had said that the world was ruled by very different people from what was imagined by those who were not behind the lines, much later Roosevelt was to say that whenever anything happened in politics you may bet it was planned that way. Then I went on to tell him that for a long time scholars had ignored as a serious subject for study what went on behind the scenes, but the events of this century, being like no other period in time, made them curious. They began to delve behind the scenes, to root out the evidence, and have now made the unchallengeable case that the world is ruled by a handful of men who can bring on wars, depressions, unemployment, inflation, anything they want.
My friend looked incredulous and naturally being a good man asked why anybody, or any body of men, would want to do such awful things. He then said who are these mysterious men you talk about and why should they want to bring so much suffering into the world?
“They are the world’s richest men, and their object is power.”
“I find that very hard to believe.”
“Fair enough, but do you believe that a man called Hitler once lived, that he wanted power and succeeded in getting an awful lot of it.”
“Yes, that is a fact of history.”
“As it happened, Hitler was a fool. He sat down and wrote down everything he intended to do. Now if Hitler were really clever he would have plotted in secret and taken the world by surprise, as the scholars have now proved the Insider/Conspirators have always done. How they must have rubbed their hands in glee when they read Hitler’s Mein Kampf and said to themselves: this is our puppet par excellence. He is made to order, all we need to do is set him up, finance him, keep other countries weak until he is ready to go to war. Nothing will help our plans for total world dictatorship like a good hot war, where we will control both sides as we have always done. Just now the peoples of the world are so sick of war it will take a Hitler to force them into it. In whatever way they said or thought this to themselves this is exactly what they did. This is the subject matter of Professor Anthony Sutton’s book Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler, which, it has been said, makes every previous book on World War II obsolete. Oh, I’m sure you never heard of it. Books which tell too much of the truth get the silent treatment.”
“Yes, but you haven’t said who they are or how they acquired such power. What kind of tricks did they pull off to give them such power?”
“Despotic power had its roots in the Reformation, but after that there were two great turning points in history, namely the foundation of the Bank of England and the founding of a group known as the Illuminati by one Adam Weishaput in Bavaria in 1776. The former by sleight of hand got control of the coin of the realm into private hands for the first time in history and the latter used that control and all disparate revolutionary groups for the one purpose of total world slavery.”
“I still find that very hard to believe.”
“You don’t accept something so awful because you haven’t read the evidence. Would you know the Greek language if you had never studied Greek?”
“No.”
“Did you ever hear of the Message of Fatima, you may think it has nothing to do with what we are talking about, but it is very relevant?”
“Yes, but only in a vague way, I’d need to know more.”
“Well, in 1917, when Communism was but a word, the meaning of which very few people knew, Our Lady appeared to three small children ã Fatima in Portugal. There she told them during a number of visits everything that has happened in the world from that time up to this day. She appealed for prayers and penance and sacrifice by the faithful. Otherwise she said Russia would spread her errors throughout the world, many nations would be lost, and the Holy Father would have much to suffer.” “I have to agree all that has already happened, but go on....””
Anyway that book is Fatima and the Great Conspiracy, which she published herself in Galway and partly because of the fame of that book (which was translated into a number of languages) and partly because of her own diligent research, she built up many contacts internationally, including for example with Mel Gibson’s father. In any case this book here, Towards World Government: New World Order (Galway, 1993), the successor to the above, has a number of short chapters but the bulk of it consists of large quotations, or the full text in the case of the last one, from three books, starting with the:
Manual on Psychopolitics, with a forward by Lavrenty Beria, Director of the Soviet Secret Police
During the years of the Soviet Union it had very close relations with the Communist Party in the USA and some leaks around the 1950s, when a US Senate Committee was determinedly investigating their power in America, give us an insight into Communist tactics. As part of these leaks at that time we got this manual on ‘Psychopolitics’ which was the Communist name for a kind of overall psychological warfare on target peoples, particularly those of the West at the time, from which a few quotes:
“Psychopolitics is the art and science of asserting and maintaining dominion over the thoughts and loyalties of individuals...and masses, and the effecting of the conquest of the enemy nations through “mental healing”.
...
The Communist agent skilled in economics has as his task...to create the maximum...chaos and the passing of laws adapted to our purposes.. The psychopolitical operator plays a...different role...The rich, the skilled in finance, the well informed in government are particular...targets for the psychopolitician. His is the role of [removing] those...who would halt or corrupt Communist economic progress. Thus, every rich man, every statesman, every person well informed and capable in government must have brought at his side as a trusted confidant a psychopolitical operator...
The normal health and wildness of a rich man’s son must be twisted and...assisted by... administration of drugs or violence, turned into criminality or insanity. This brings...someone in “mental healing” into confidential contact with the family, and...the very most must be made of that contact.
Communism could best succeed if at the side of every rich or influential man there could be placed a psychopolitical operator...[whose advice could] upset the economic [or other] policies of the country and, when the time comes to do away forever with the rich or influential man, to administer the proper drug or treatment to bring about his complete demise in an institution as a patient, or dead as a suicide...”
