Book Reviews of The Naked Capitalist
Book Review: THE NAKED CAPITALIST = "THE A**ES EXPOSED"
Summary: 5 Stars
"I think the Communist conspiracy is merely a branch of a much bigger conspiracy!"
~ Dr. Bella Dodd; former member of the National Committee of the U.S. Communist Party.
W. Cleon Skousen spent 16 years with the Federal Bureau of Investigations and was, for 4 years, the Chief of Police in Salt Lake City. Skousen was also a university professor for 7 years and spent a decade as the Editorial Director of "Law And Order", at the time, the nation's preeminent law enforcement magazine.
In 1970, Skousen wrote "THE NAKED CAPITALIST", his extensive, book-length review of Dr. Carroll Quigley's infamous 1966, 1,300 page book "TRAGEDY AND HOPE: A HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN OUR TIME." Quigley was a highly regarded professor of history at Georgetown University, a member of the editorial board of the periodical "Current History", and a great influence on the young Bill Clinton. (It should be remembered that during his first inaugural address, Bill Clinton publicly thanked Carroll Quigley for mentoring him.)
Skousen's "THE NAKED CAPITALIST" begins by asking "WHY?: Why do some of the richest people in the world support Communism and Socialism? Why would they support what appears to be the pathway to their own destruction? Dr. Carroll Quigley of Harvard, Princeton and Georgetown universities states that he has been associated with many of these dynastic families of the super-rich. He therefore writes as an authority on the world's secret power structure. His answers to the above questions may astonish you."
The author then proceeds to examine in-depth the various facets of an Elite "Insiders" plan to gain global control - a complex plan that Quigley claimed to have knowledge of as a result of having been granted permission to study the secret papers of this Elite. And it is an agenda that Quigley supported.
Skousen's book is a very straightforward account, a distillation of Quigley's massive tome that necessarily covers a large variety of interrelated topics such as: International banking and economic monopolies; the strange promotion of Communism and Socialism from U.S. Government departments; the linking of American presidents to Revolutionary movements abroad; the creation of the Federal Reserve System; the influence of John Ruskin on Fabian Socialists and the Feminist movement; the anti-American activities of supposedly "American" tax-exempt foundations; the goal behind the establishment of the Council on Foreign Relations, and more. This relatively slim volume is packed with shocking information gleaned from the publication of a respected and well-informed scholar on the "Inside" of American power.
You may live in this country, but chances are you have no idea how this country really operates, and why so many seemingly nonsensical decisions are made year after year by U.S. government representatives in Washington D.C. who ought to know better. Well, don't assume that they DON'T know better! Don't accept the idea that they are incomprehensibly stupid AND that they just happened to rise to highly influential positions in government; that their errors in judgment are mere mistakes. Life rarely works that way. As President Franklin Roosevelt once said: "In politics nothing happens by accident. If it happened, you can bet it was planned that way."
W. Cleon Skousen's "THE NAKED CAPITALIST" will go a long way toward educating you about the world you live in. I recently created a 3-part Ammyland "So You'd Like To..." Guide titled, STOP BEING A "USEFUL IDIOT", and I quoted from Skousen's excellent examination of Quigley's book and recommended it (along with A. Ralph Epperson's equally excellent The Unseen Hand" ) as an overview to the Elite's conspiracy. It is an ideal place to begin your journey to truth, and every "Loose Dog" (i.e., Neo-American Revolutionary resisting "The New World Order") should be familiar with it.
Be advised that a number of editions of this title are available on this site, and if you don't mind an older, used copy, you might obtain "THE NAKED CAPITALIST" less expensively by reentering the title under the "Books" category and checking out the numerous other Product Pages for the various editions of Skousen's publication. You can also gain a basic understanding of this same Elite agenda by reading my concise Guide, "So You'd Like To... STOP BEING A USEFUL IDIOT", accessible by clicking on my name above and then scrolling down my Ammyland Profile Page to the "So You'd Like To..." Guide category located toward the bottom of the page.
"Dr. Dodd said she first became aware of some mysterious super-leadership right after World War II when the U.S. Communist Party had difficulty getting instructions from Moscow on several vital matters requiring immediate attention. The American Communist hierarchy was told that any time they had an emergency of this kind they should contact any one of three designated persons at the Waldorf Towers. Dr. Dodd noted that whenever the Party obtained instructions from any of these three men, Moscow always ratified them. What puzzled Dr. Dodd was the fact that not one of these three contacts was a Russian. Nor were any of them Communists. In fact, all three were extremely wealthy American capitalists! Dr. Dodd said, `I would certainly like to find out who is really running things.' " [~Page 1]
