Foreword

to the book The Predators versus The People, by Jim MacGregor

Meeuwis Baaijen’s first visit to my home in Scotland some 7 years ago was to discuss my research and writing on the First World War. A warm and lasting friendship developed between this rather dour Scottish family doctor and the warm and genial veterinarian and deep thinker. The hand harmonica playing Dutchman and his wife have lived in several parts of the world, working many years in Africa and Latin America as a veterinarian (he) and physical therapist (she). Finally settling on a small farm in Costa Rica, they are now homesteading and sharing the organic fruits of their labor with friends and neighbors, in the age-old bartering way.

Meeuwis' work changed my life for the better and on reading his book, it will change yours too. It is an important book, a deeply researched and epic account of the terrible mess our beautiful blue planet is in thanks to the appalling legacies, over many centuries, of rich and power crazed individuals.

Meeuwis takes us back 500 years to trace the development of a criminal oligarchy - an all-powerful "Global Mafia" - that operates behind the curtains in our world. Today, that oligarchy controls the international banking system through its control of the central banks in each country, and organizations such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund based in Washington DC, and the Bank of International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland. It is vital to understand that these banks are owned and controlled not by nations or their citizens, but by these powerful individuals, and family dynasties that go back centuries. Meeuwis explains how, through control of money, this group controls not merely the banks, but the World Health Organization, the United Nations, NATO, and much more.

And through their control of the central banks and money supply in each country, the bankers and oligarchs are able to control politicians and politics in almost all parts of the world. Such political control does not arise by accident but by design. Promising young politicians are pre-selected, groomed for power, and rendered beholden with promises of rich rewards when they retire from the pantomime that is politics. As the recent Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell scandal clearly demonstrated, many politicians are also rendered beholden to the Money Power through luxurious trips abroad in private jets and the provision of sexual encounters with young people, including children.

The Predators Versus the People contributes new insights to our understanding of a centuries old conspiracy and is a powerful message of warning. It reveals the grim reality in well researched detail, and how these rich and ruthless individuals have, over the centuries, been directly responsible for the colonization of the Third World and the major wars to gain control of Eurasia, including both the First and Second World Wars. For bankers and the military-industrial complex, nothing is more lucrative than war, and the bigger, the longer and bloodier the war, the better.

This book sheds a bright, penetrating light on conspiracy facts, not on fake theories, and shows how our world is really run.
