14. "To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism, and religious dogmas." -- Brock Adams, Director UN Health Organization
17. "Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order [referring to the 1991 LA Riot]. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond [i.e., an "extraterrestrial" invasion], whether real or *promulgated* [emphasis mine], that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this *scenario*, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government." -- Dr. Henry Kissinger, Bilderberger Conference, Evians, France, 1991
"It is also a fact that America is too democratic at home to be autocratic abroad. This limits the use of America's power, especially its capacity for military intimidation. Never before has a populist democracy attained international supremacy. But the pursuit of power is not a goal that commands popular passion, except in conditions of a sudden threat or challenge to the public's sense of domestic well-being. The economic self-denial (that is, defense spending) and the human sacrifice (casualties, even among professional soldiers) required in the effort are uncongenial to democratic instincts. Democracy is inimical to imperial mobilization." —from The Grand Chessboard, Brzezinski 1997

This quote has been taken out of context. How do I know? Because I actually read the book unlike yourself. It argues for a scaling back of overseas military expenditures and moves towards a more strategic and diplomatic approach. Part of the reason for this strategic vision is that the US is essentially a democratic state (whether it is or not is for you to decide) and sustained conflicts involving many casualties are as such difficult or even impossible to carry out. Please actually read the book before you misquote it and take it out of context like a badgering idiot next time.

Ignorance basically means that someone is wrong/mistaken about a certain thing.
In this case, the person you quoted was addressing a misconception, to remove the ignorance surrounding the quote. If he or she had said nothing, you would still believe that the quote supported the NWO theory, but now thanks to that poster you know that it doesn't. You are no longer ignorant about that quote.
Please stop misusing the ATS slogan to end arguments. To be fair to you though, I've noticed lots of people doing this around here.
As for the other 138 quotes, who knows? They might be right, they might not. I don't know. I don't really care. But when someone comes along and points out that one of them is out of context, made up or anything else, take that on board and don't just say "well what about the other 137/136/135..."
They might be right, they might not. I don't know. I don't really care.

At the end of the day, SpeachM1litant made a valid point and you ignored it in favour of believing your own truth, I'm here to point out that fact, nothing else.

Rockefeller has absolutely no moral compass whatsoever and he doesn't even try to hide it...almost revels in it.
12. "We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries." -- David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, in an address to a meeting of The Trilateral Commission, in June, 1991.

Don't forget 1/3 of these are unverifiable.
There's even a quote about unverifiable quotes on the interwebz, by Einstein i think

Please address the other 138 quotes instead of focusing on one that may or may not be true.
Or are you using this in an attempt to perpetuate ignorance rather than deny it?
Fair warning...you will lose in this case.
Peace

Interesting article - the Kennedy quote is particularly eerie But I wonder whether a lot of those splices offer more sizzle than steak - i.e. they're just choice soundbites purposely selected because they use terms like "New World Order" or "global government", rather than give any real context or insight into how they're being applied for nefarious intent.
