From ‘The Naked Capitalist’, A Review and Commentary on Carroll Quigley’s
<Snip>

"In his commentary, Skousen asks why Quigley would want to expose the money masters? “Obviously,” writes Skousen, “disclosing the existence of a mammoth power network which is trying to take over the world could not help but arouse the vigorous resistance of the millions of people who are its intended victims. So why did Dr. Quigley write this hook?”

The answer, according to Skousen, is that Quigley wants to show that “it is now too late for the little people to turn back the tide. In a spirit of kindness Quigley is therefore urging them not to fight the noose which is already around their necks. He feels certain that those who do will only choke themselves to death. On the other hand, those who go along with the immense pressure which is beginning to be felt by all humanity will eventually find themselves in a man-made millennium of peace and prosperity. All through his book. Dr. Quigley assures us that we can trust these benevolent, well—meaning men who are secretly operating behind the scenes. THEY are the HOPE of the world. All who resist them represent TRAGEDY. Hence, the title for his book."

3. interesting about mammoth power networks taking over the world
I suspect there is such, but don't buy any of the evidence out there on the web as being credible.

Is there actual credible evidence of such somewhere?

For the moment I'm forced to merely infer the existence of such by coordination of action and dismiss all claims of specific instigators/etc., and even (by default) assume that it's an emergent property of the interactions as opposed to a conspiracy per se.
