    It is all part of their plan to bring about the New World Order, A global network of totalitarian governments. When they create a global second great depression, they hope we will all be desparate enough to let them have "emergency powers". Phony wars and "terrorism" are also parts of the plot. The Ivy League's Skull and Bones society, and The Illuminati are behind it all. Here are some links to things they have already done to create the New World Order. http://www.uncoveror.com/fans.htm http://www.uncoveror.com/vchip.htm http://www.uncoveror.com/webcams.htm
