Assume that there really is a group of puppeteers behind the scenes manipulating events in order to steer the World for their own benefit. One of the best ways for such a group to protect itself from possible discovery is to create an organization that will overwhelm the citizenry with wacko conspiracy theories.

The John Birch Society’s leadership is in on the truth and is the vehicle of choice for presenting whacko conspiracy theories as cover.

This is non-sensical, since the former countries invariably reserve for themselves the right and final word on conditions under which foreign companies do business.
This includes safety issues and concerns and exactly how they will be dealt with.

Some firm understandings need to be set in place before the US should even suggest it will accept the jurisdiction of this NGO.
NGOs are the latest tool of communism and socialism.
Most people have no idea how pervasive they are and what a threat they represent to all countries, primarily those which actually have something to lose.
