Though names change, the conspiracy, or Insiders, use the same tactics over and over again, making it quite simple to identify their players, so there is no need to be fooled by wolves in sheep’s clothing.
So as not to be fooled by these deceivers, the late John F. McManus, long-time President of the John Birch Society, gave us some key principles to understand the inner workings of the process of how the Insiders choose who the Speaker of the House of Representatives will be. Just insert the names of these past politicians with the current ones, and you will get the picture.
While the House Republicans are trying to figure out who will be their next speaker, it’s worth a look back a few decades when this extremely important post was suddenly vacated. After riding high with the 1994 GOP victories he helped engineer, and getting inordinately favorable media attention for his namby-pamby “Contract With America,” Speaker Newt Gingrich announced his retirement. His bolt-out-of-the-blue decision stunned many. But the selection by GOP House members of little-known Illinois Congressman Dennis Hastert as his successor outdid even the Gingrich departure.
Who after all was Dennis Hastert? And how did he suddenly become important enough to be named house speaker? He was a former high school teacher and wrestling coach from Yorkville, Illinois, who rose from 16 years of obscurity to win a seat in the U.S. House in 1986. Still, even after serving in the House for a decade, and becoming its speaker for another ten years, hardly anyone outside his Illinois district knew much about the man.
During his quiet years in Congress, Hastert was as middle-of-the-road as anyone could be. Toeing the establishment’s line on numerous issues, he favored Gingrich’s pro-New World Order preferences when in June 1996, he voted for foreign aid, Most Favored Nation (MFN) status for China, and expansion of NATO. Two years later, he approved more foreign aid, continuance of MFN for China, and a 12 percent increase in food stamp expenditures. Still, his votes on numerous less important matters enabled congressional scorekeepers to label him a conservative.
So how does such a person rise from near anonymity to become speaker? Asked about this somewhat amazing development, then-Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) unhesitatingly offered that Gingrich himself had made the choice. And presto, the likeable but quiet man known among colleagues as “the coach” became speaker of the house, even serving in that post from 1999 until he chose not to stand for reelection in 2008.
