THE WORLD ORDER - A Study in the Hegemony of Parasitism by Eustace Mullins

When he was proffered the cup of hemlock by his fellow-citizens, Socretes’
last words were, “Crito, I owe a cock to Asclepius; will you remember to pay the
debt ?” A gentleman is responsible for his obligations, and this book is the
repayment of the efforts of three great men who chose me as their protege – Ezra
Pound, the dominant literary figure of our time; George Stimpson, the most
respected journalist in Washington (the title has been vacant since his death); and
H.L. Hunt, whose spectacular business success blinded the public to his brilliant
philosophical achievements. It was H.L. Hunt who invented the term “The
Mistaken” for the self-corrupted members of the new class who now control our
world – he might have added that they could also be described as “The
Misshapen”, because of their warped and perverted sense of values.
The present work is also an expression of another Greek attitude – gratitude
for life. Michael Lekakis introduced this astounding Greek attribute to me some
thirty years ago. I describe it as “astounding”, because no one today thinks of
being grateful for life. Who can conceive of “gratitude for life” in an existence of
eternal and worldwide slavery imposed upon humanity by the minions of the
World Order ?
In “The Greek Way”, Edith Hamilton says, “Tragedy was a Greek creation
because in Greece thought was free.” We do not have tragedy today because of the
thought control imposed by the World Order. Instead, we have “Newspeak” and
“doublethink” in the world of 1989. I was privileged to sit in on a number
conversations between Edith Hamilton and Ezra Pound, in which the conversation
was uninhibited and far-reaching – freedom of thought in a federal institution in
which one of the talkers was held as a political prisoner ! Pound describes these
talks in “The Cantos”,
“And they want to know what we talked about ?
'de litteris et de armis, praestantibusque ingeniis.”
