This book can blow your mind, especially if everything Gary Allen wrote is true. A small group of powerful men and women run the world and often are the power behind the throne: we know this. This practice holds true for most capitalist countries. However, when you read these people allowed, or encouraged, World War II to create a world government later, it will blow your mind - if true.
The book reads like a conspiracy theory. Considering that Gary Allen did not conceal people's real names, it should give you a reason to wonder and worry.
Read the book. Even if you discount 90% of what he says is true, the remaining 10% is mind-bending enough.

Though somewhat dated, this book remains a classic in exposing the new world order conspiracy. This blows the lid on the international financiers schemes, plans (much of which have come to pass since this book was published) and shows how they instigated and financed communism.

None Dare Call it Conspiracy is an over-sized political conspiracy pamphlet penned by John Birch Society spokesperson Gary Allen. Allen was a speechwriter for segregationist George Wallace when Nixon defeated him in 1968, and apparently Allen never got over it. The book is designed as a handout (hence the four million copies printed) in a pyramid-scheme hook that has the author recommending handing out copies of his own book as one of the four ways to stop the conspiracy.

The conspiracy, of course, involves socialism. Like most Republicans, Allen was a huge fan of the McCarthy era, and keeping the Red Scare alive is an important enough aspect of demonizing socialist policies that Allen's big pitch is that all Communist conspiracies are actually the secret plan of international socialist bankers to destroy America and the Constitution to make way for a NEW WORLD ORDER.

Much of what now constitutes the disinformation strategies of modern right-wing politicians and media is inherent in this slim volume, and try not to feel too depressed when you discover that the tactics - as well as talking points - haven't changed in the fifty years since its publication. Allen spends a few chapters building up all of the straw man arguments needed to smooth over the holes in his logic,

At the core of Allen's producerism fever-dream is the real-life conspiracies that generally involve people with excessive money and/or power doing everything they can think of to amass more wealth/power, but that core is layered with thousands of imaginary lines drawn by Allen to illustrate a world where everything happening in history that he doesn't agree with is actually an intentional act on behalf of a global socialist New World Order conspiracy.

From a scholarly standpoint, the book is a mess. Allen purposely leaves out any information that contradicts his narrow world view, pulls numbers and supposed universal truths out of thin air with no supporting data, spends way too much time making up what he believes average people think without actually asking them, and repeatedly makes tenuous connections between things then immediately treats it as solid fact.

In the first chapter, Allen states that there are two schools of historian, those who think all historical events are ransom coincidences, and those who think all historical events are planned and orchestrated. This statement is absurd, but believing you only have two choices of how to examine history is the only way Allen has a chance of making you believe his version of the world is anything less than a paranoid delusion.

Picking apart even a few of the inconsistencies and inanities sprinkled throughout this book would take more time and space than I'm willing to commit, and if you're a Trump supporter or Alex Jones fan, you're not going to listen to reason anyway. I recommend this book only to fans of bizarre conspiracy theories, and those who actually believe in a global conspiracy of international socialist bankers, as those are the only two types of people that might derive any enjoyment from it.

Very useful book to better understand our political issues. It is a bit dated, but the concepts haven't changed just the individuals and stories he tells about. If nothing else, read chapters 1 and 2. At least skim chapter 1 (make sure you know who Carroll Quigley is and what he believes and says, and recognize Allen's discussion about academics and the mass media - now called main-stream media, or legacy media).
Chapt 2:
I will point out one misleading item on Chart 3 (in my copy it's on p 34) - our particular constitutional republic chose to put state govts sort of at a higher level than the federal govt.
Charts 1 and 2 are critical - chart 1, as taught in schools, assumed by the legacy media, and believed by most people, makes no sense - varying levels of socialistic tendencies are put on a left-right spectrum with democracy (a socialist form of govt called mob rule, or called by Thomas Jefferson the worst of all possible forms of government) in the center. Just because in the 1940s two dictatorships used the names communism (intended to be an international socialism)and Nazism (in English that would be national socialism), and were enemies, and we're suposed to think they are opposites? No, they were opponents because both groups wanted to be the only world dictator.
Chart 2 shows a logical left-right spectrum:
On the left you have total government to varying degrees, such as Communism, Fascism (Nazi), Fabianism (some form of democracy/mob rule), and he lists some historical dictatorships as well; some of these are more complete dictatorships than others, due to inclination, technology, etc.
On the far right you have no govt (differing degrees of anarchy).
Note that left would be total govt, right would be no govt. On the right, between Center and Anarchy (far right) would be varying degrees of limited government, such as the constitutional republic given to us by our US Constitution. Some of the changes to it tend to moves us further right (abolition to slavery), others further left towards totalitarianism (the changes to our representatives - no longer known by each constituent; and senators - one less check because now chosen directly by the people instead of the state govt).

Chap 3-7:
Explain how our move towards socialism has occurred, and since the book was written, a lot more has happened.

Chap 8:
Skim this chapter. It's dated, but the 14 signposts leading to slavery (total govt) are important - read pp 131-133 a little more carefully and think about how many of these have been implemented since this book.

One last point - his title is a play on an earlier book by John A Stormer, None Dare Call It Treason, long since out of date (1964). This book by Allen came out in '71. Then Stormer wrote a newer (way back in '84!) book for Christians who believe in limited govt: Growing Up God's Way. Then (in '89) he updated None Dare Call It Treason. Later yet ('98) he wrote None Dare Call It Education. So it looks like we missed the next decade update, and this decade's update is due. As far as I know, neither has happened.
