Tragedy and Hope 101

The Illusion of Justice, Freedom, and Democracy

De: Joseph Plummer

Narrado por: Joshua Mackey

The information contained in this book contradicts nearly everything you've been led to believe about democracy and "representative government".

Based on the groundbreaking research of respected historian Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope 101 reveals an unimaginably devious political system, skillfully manipulated by a handful of elite, which is undermining freedom and democracy as we know it. The goal of those who control the system, in Quigley's own words, is to dominate "all habitable portions of the world." Using deception, theft, and violence, they have achieved more toward this goal than any rulers in human history.

However, the Information Age is quickly derailing their plans. The immorality of their system, and those who serve it, has become nearly impossible to hide. Awareness and resistance are growing...tragedy is yielding to hope.

Must read for everyone

Anyone who is even a tad bit skeptical of the legitimacy of the government should listen to this.

Very enlightening

This book pulls together things I’ve read here and there. Very enjoyable with a good narrator.

Enlightening, full of information, eye opening

excellent book, didn't want to turn it off, very detailed yet easy to understand and follow, narrator was fabulous

The scary reality.

Good Book I would recommend everyone to read or listen. Spread the information. listen to what people have to say.

Will you take the red pill or the blue pill?

This is an introduction to Professor Carol Quigley's famous (and infamously LARGE) tome, 'Tragedy and Hope'. At 1300 plus pages, Quigley's work is likely too much for most people to read. Wink-wink-nudge-nudge - no one has committed it to audio format, yet. So, this is the next best thing. Plummer does a great job, is a great writer, and is on the right path. There clearly is something besides "fate" operating at the highest levels of world governance that most humans will never know about. There are far too many coincidences for it to be anything but planned.

This work is eye opening and frustrating. Knowing myself, I doubt that I will go on to attempt Quigley's work, I think I get the gist. I've read and listened to several other books concerning the subjects upon which Quigley (and Plummer) sheds light. My priorities have changed - I am going to buy land in Texas and hole up the family to wait out the inevitable.

One last thing, the narrator, Joshua Mackey is okay (emphasis like the new AT&T commercials, where such and such is just okay). Mackey tries too hard in some places to emphasize certain words or phrases. Perhaps that won't bother most. I didn't care for it. In a lot of sections, especially toward the last chapters, he seemed to channel a 1930's gangster character, and expected him to start saying stuff like, "Alright, see, we're gonna knock off that bank, grab some chippies at the gin joint, and clip some G-men with our roscoes. By the time we end in the caboose, we'll be hittin' on all eight, see?"

It got annoying.

Great book. Great writer, So-so narrator.

But the meaning behind it all is very IMPORTANT - take the blue pill and learn what's going on, if it's not already too late.

Very enlightening and informative

Great insight and summarization of a very long and complicated work. Great job unraveling the network of evil behind all Governments and other demonically inspired organizations. Lucifer is running this show.

A Must Read Book for everyone

This book is a summary of Carroll Quigley’s lengthy and detailed “Tragedy and Hope”. The emphasis is on the group of rich and influential individuals who are part of The Network and who control governments, presidents, politicians, and events. Subsequently, they control the media, the education system, and the way people think and act. Their goal is to destroy sovereignty of each nation, to put people into submission, and to design a new world order, which is far away from what the Founding Fathers of America had envisioned. The way they were and are able to control governments is via control of the money system. Think Federal Reserve and the rest of the central banks throughout the world. By keeping nations and people enslaved into debt they have designed the perfect system which allows them to create wars, economic booms and busts, terror attacks, and pandemics. By creating pretexts and fears they drive the masses into a powerful need to demand governments do more to keep them safe. In this way, people voluntarily forfeit their freedoms and sovereignty. No, this is not some sort of conspiracy book as they may want you to think, the book is based on factual data with impressive evidence. It’s easy enough for a teenager to understand. Highly recommend even if you’re not a book reader. Just get the audible version and listen to it on a day trip. You’ll look at the world with different eyes once you’re done reading it.

must listen to.

there are conspiracies that exists which are facts not theories. the ones that are theories just haven't been proven... yet!

A peak behind the curtain

Outstanding draft of the classic that was taken off the shelf..Carroll Quigley's 1300 page book was incredibly difficult to read. Although IMO, the most informative history book of the 20th century when trying to decipher the Military-Industrial complex. Mr. Plummer's book will have many purchasing the original (If their eyes can handle the strain). You will understand the control that has been obtained since Cecil Rhodes established his Round Table and the Anglo-American Establishment began creating money out of thin air. A must read for those not intimidated by the TRUTH.

Very good.... I want to suggest more

If you want to understand the basics that people believe about 'true power' in our world, this is a very well-written, concise, and interesting quick listen.

I was hoping for something that was more of a history that tied into the Quigley book that I'll probably never read for several reasons. It's long. It's maybe dated. I've heard it doesn't have sources. And, there's only so much time for any given book.

In that way, this is an excellent listen. It's short and summarizes. However, to my knowledge, it mostly is not about the title that it seems to be about. "Tragedy and Hope 101" would suggest that this is the introduction to that book. While that's the case in the beginning, at least, it's hard to know how much of this is actually based on Quigley, and my guess is that it isn't much. I understand the original has a lot of history; but, this one talks about events well past the published date. Which are from the book and which are the author's take? I can't tell in this audio book. A wide guess is 1/4-3/4 is from Quigley and I lean towards 1/4 or less.

I would suggest the author use this as an introduction and do a 201, 301, etc. But, focus those 'on the book' and angles from it. I enjoyed this take as a very broad introduction. I learned a lot. I'm not clear who I learned it from and I can't confidently tell people - "Do you know Quigley's book discusses ______ 50+ years ago?"

It's fine to draw in other elements and sources. Note them. In an audiobook format, you must mention them. They do mention a few other sources, but it seems very clear to this layman that most of this is title is a history by Plummer in what he believes is the spirit of Quigley, with many other sources in mind and perhaps listed in the book version, but it is very hard for me to believe after spending even a minor amount of time on the topic that this is a definite T&H Book 101 entry level course. It is more a much wider take on a sliver of the topics that I imagine are in the giant original work. I think he should first be upfront about that and second consider more works that stick more to the source and back his title here.

In any case, this is a very well written title with a great narration. What you can take from it as sourced to T&H or Quigley... I'm not confident I can say.
