β¦ Synopsis
Banker James Paul Warburg said in 1950:
"The great question of our time is not whether or not One World can
be achieved, but whether or not One World can be achieved by peaceful
means. We shall have World Government whether or not we like it.
The question only is whether World Government will be achieved by
consent or conquest."
