In 1919, the poet WB Yeats wrote a poem called The Second Coming, which seems strongly prophetic of some of the despotic regimes which were to emerge out of the fallout from the First World War.
Now it seems, we may be seeing history repeating itself. In an echo of Yeats’ words, things are falling apart, and the “rough beasts” he spoke of are lining up to pick up the spoils.
Unelected bodies like the World Economic Forum, and away from the public eye, the Bilderberg Group, are trying to dictate our global future.
How are they getting away with this?
Because we allow them to. More than that – as Yeats’ poem shows, we actually will it into being.
