A Review by Henry Lamb

It's not the black helicopters, or blue-helmeted troops that should concern Americans, it is the century-long campaign to develop a world government that should alarm every citizen.

Bob Hillmann's outstanding research report is a compelling demonstration of the motive, the people, the program, and the progress this campaign has made. His excellent documentation (395 endnotes) provides authoritative references for every fact and conclusion he reports.

"Reinventing Government" is not just a cutsie name dreamed up by Al Gore to describe what he did to the federal government. It is a disciplined process, lifted from industry, to create "fundamental change, rapid progress toward radical goals" employing the use of "selective" information.

The process utilizes "slow targets," the deliberate, rather silent, development of goals and strategies, and "fast bullets," rapid implementation of activities to achieve the goals.

Hillmann begins with the philosophical motivations that inspired Cecil Rhodes, and traces his development of the Milner group in England. He provides a fascinating study of the League of Nations, and the reaction caused by the U.S. failure to ratify the world government plan.

The creation of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Royal Institute of Foreign Affairs in Europe, were both the direct result of U.S. non-ratification. These institutions, along with other socialist groups, were created expressly to prepare Americans, and the world, to accept a world government, Hillmann says.

These groups permeated the Roosevelt administration and some of the same people who devised the League of Nations were instrumental in the development of the post-war United Nations.

Hillmann goes into some detail about the efforts to revise the history books. He quotes extensively from personal letters of Quincy Wright, of the University of Chicago, in correspondence with the Institute of Pacific Relations, another group spawned by the failure of the League of Nations. Systematic and deliberate efforts to rewrite history books to promote a global agenda have been underway for more than a half-century, according to Hillmann's findings.

Recent efforts at history revision include removing reference to great American Heroes, such as Jefferson and Lincoln, and instead, discussing the contributions of such heroes as Rachel Carson and Jane Goodal. Events such as the Boston Tea Party are being removed, and events such as the Greenpeace protests of nuclear power plants discussed.

Hillmann brings the enlightenment through the Clinton/Gore administration, with their "sustainable" agenda, and into the Bush administration. His work does more to remove the shroud of mystery around U.N. influence than any other work of its kind.

The book is not an opinion piece; it is a scholarly research document, with evidence that can be presented to any court of public opinion. It is a book that should be required reading in every high school and university in this country. It should be read by every American.

This work, published by the Murchison Chair of Free Enterprise at the University of Texas at Austin, will be the last project undertaken. The Chair of Free Enterprise is ceasing operations in August, 2001.

The work was undertaken to compliment the Chair's last research project, "The Rise of Global Governance: Why? How? When?" which I wrote in 1997.

(This book is no longer in print, but both special reports, "The Rise of Global Governance," and "The Rise of Global Green Religion" are available in the eco-logic on-line Member's archives).

Hillmann's work, like mine, was edited by Dr. Margaret Maxey, and Floy Lilley, J.D. Lilley provides an "Editorial Afterword" in Hillmann's book that sets forth the fundamental principles of a free society. Her observations should be shouted from every rooftop.

The Murchison Chair of Free Enterprise has donated the entire press run to Sovereignty International, to be used as a fund-raiser to support our important work, as the book is distributed to those who love freedom. We are requesting a tax-deductible contribution of at least $15, which includes shipping and handling.
