Inside cover and introductory pages:
When The High Priests of War was first released in early 2004, the inside cover and introductory pages made the following prescient statements:
"...in The High Priests of War, Piper has come forth with what is indisputably the first full-length exposition of the little-known history of the neo-conservative warmongers inside the Bush administration who orchestrated the war against Iraq. Project Censored called this the most censored story of 2003. Not anymore.
Guaranteed: Nowhere else will you find such an authoritative and comprehensive work detailing the `who, what, when, where and how' of the history behind the intrigue that led up to the war against Iraq and the debacle that has followed. The tragedy of Iraq is just beginning.
Whatever happens in the years ahead, Michael Collins Piper's The High Priests of War will almost assuredly remain not just the "first word" on --but also the "final judgment" of -- the neo-conservatives and the burgeoning threat of world holocaust they've unleashed through their needless no-win war against Iraq."
"The High Priests of War is a non-fiction book that resembles a Gothic horror novel, a classic tale of a haunted house and the evil spirits that dwell within, the story of a wealthy young king --scion of a famous family -- ensconced in a stately palace and endowed with great powers, yet surrounded, even possessed, by malevolent demonic forces manipulating him from "back in the shadows."
But the high priests of war exist in real life. The damage these neoconservative war-mongers are doing to America and the world is immense.
If these neo-conservatives continue their reign of ruin, we should not be surprised to see the White House end up looking once again as it did after being gutted by British torches in 1814; whether the consequences of a popular rebellion by angry patriotic Americans or the result of an attack by foreign forces determined to stop dead the intrigues of the high priests of war.
One thing is certain: The time has come. Something has to be done. . ."
The following is from the promotional insert in the June 28, 2004 edition of American Free Press:
The High Priests of War, Victor Thorn Review
May 17, 2004
After reading Final Judgment, I jokingly commented to an acquaintance, “Michael Collins Piper has ruined any further JFK research on my part because, compared to his book, everything else seems like child’s play.” Well, the same rationale now applies to the mainstream media’s coverage of the men who are orchestrating our war in Iraq. In contrast to what Michael Collins Piper has accomplished in his latest work, The High Priests of War, our corporate newsmen resemble an emasculated band of poseurs who can’t (or won’t) tell the American people what’s actually taking place within the corridors of power in our nation’s capital.
Beginning with a brief overview of the Cold War fraud which was played out in great detail and with great drama on the world stage, Piper shows us how a small but tightly-linked cabal of “neo-conservatives” rose from Trotsky’s shadow to become adherents of Senator Henry “Scoop” Jackson (a Democrat, by the way); then moved into the Reagan and Bush Sr. administrations, where they were largely viewed as “crazies” that had to be contained. Along the way, we also discover how these twisted intellectuals are intricately tied to an underlying Zionist cause, and how they’re able to promote their aims via a well-established network of media outlets, think tanks, and politicians who had sold their souls long ago.
Piper’s greatest strength, though, lies in his ability to expose and interconnect those furtive elements that others shy away from, such as Richard Perle and William Kristol’s role in contriving our current war, their links to the Bilderbergs and CFR, and how a little known group—Team B—has hijacked the foreign policy arm of the Republican Party. But the author doesn’t stop there, for he carefully lists all of the people and organizations involved in this nefarious Kosher Nostra.
Of particular interest are two quotes contained within this book that truly convey where the loyalties lie for some of our Washingtonian power-brokers. One was provided by Arizona Senator John McCain (in regard to Israel’s survival), while the other was uttered by ex-CIA analyst George Friedman in relation to who most benefited from the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Needless to say, these passages are very eye-opening, and reveal the type of forces we’re up against.
On a final note, Michael Collins Piper must be credited for addressing quite possibly the most important aspect of the neocon phenomenon: how the United States of America is being used as a pawn to do the dirty work for a group of Globalists in their quest for a centrally-governed international empire. In this sense, what we see on the nightly news or read in our daily newspapers isn’t the full-story, for a secret agenda is at hand, one that is systematically being implemented to manipulate and weaken our country until it eventually folds into the elitists’ vision of a New World Order. This book is a must read for those who feel the media pundits and talking heads aren’t playing it straight with us.
FOREWORD: Authority Without Responsibility
Although much has recently been written about the intrigues of the neo-conservatives who rule the roost in the administration of George W. Bush, The High Priests of War is by far the most comprehensive work on the subject available today, particularly in that it explores the neo-conservative agenda from a highly important historic perspective that has generally been ignored in the heat of current debate.
It can accurately be said that the author, Michael Collins Piper, was one of the first journalists on the face of the planet to have recognized the neo-conservative infiltration of the upper ranks of the American political and intelligence mechanisms and then — as far back as the early 1980s — began writing about the phenomenon.
Piper duly credits our mutual longtime friend and colleague, the late Andrew St. George — to whom this book is dedicated — with having pioneered the first significant news reportage on the neo-conservatives, and it can rightly be said that St. George is the literary “godfather” of this important book.
Tackling the most important political problem of our age and skillfully analyzing its origins, naming names and describing the agenda and the misdeeds of the highly astute and closely inter-connected group which is dexterously pulling the strings that manipulate the marionettes on the political stage, The High Priests of War is a landmark work.
The neoconservatives have accomplished the supreme political feat: they have the authority but not the responsibility for the disastrous course of American history, immune to their misdeeds and the responsibility therefor, thanks to their controlled press.
Thus, as our country reels from disaster to disaster, the public is either told by the press how wonderful it all is or replaceable politicians are blamed for it while the neocons only tighten their hold.
This sordid scenario is unknown to all but a tiny handful of American patriots. If a significant number of Americans can be awakened to the political reality described by Michael Collins Piper so clearly in this book, the exposure alone will put an end to the conspiracy.

A United States Senator Speaks Out:
Why Americans are really dying in Iraq . . .
“With 760 dead in Iraq and over 3,000 maimed for life, home folks continue to argue why we are in Iraq — and how to get out . . . Even resident Bush acknowledges that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9-11. . . Of course there were no weapons of mass destruction. Israel’s intelligence, Mossad, knows what’s going on in Iraq. They are the best. They have to know. Israel’s survival depends on knowing. Israel long since would have taken us to the weapons of mass destruction if there were any or if they had been removed. With Iraq no threat, why invade a sovereign country? The answer: President Bush’s policy to secure Israel.”

Writing in The Charleston Post and Courier, May 6, 2004
|
(For making these forthright remarks, in a column in which he also specifically named several of the “high priests of war” described in this book, Sen. Hollings — a longtime friend of the U.S. military — was harshly denounced by the Anti-Defamation League and a host of politicians eager to curry favor with the Israeli lobby. Yet, just shortly before, a respected Jewish newspaper, Forward, stated that Israel had benefited from the Iraq war — “uniquely” it said — and that Israeli intelligence had provided information used by the Bush administration to justify the invasion of Iraq. See below for what Forward said.)
Leading Jewish Newspaper Explains Israel “uniquely benefited” from Iraq war . . .
“On the eve of the war, Israel was a quiet but enthusiastic supporter of America’s war plans. Saddam Hussein’s military power, it was universally agreed, made him one of the Jewish state’s most dangerous adversaries . . . His overthrow was seen as eliminating Israel’s most serious existential threat . . . [and Israel] eagerly cooperated . . . sharing information on Iraqi capabilities and intentions . . . meant to help the American action . . . . But because Israel uniquely benefited from a war that is increasingly controversial in America and around the world, fears of speaking out have grown even stronger than they were before the war.”

Review by Dr. Fredrick Tobin, Adelaide Institute
Form - Presentation
The immediate impression is that this book literally is crammed, stifled almost, from cover to cover with information. Although it counts 128 pages, I get an extra unnumbered 20 pages, counting the covers. The length is ideal because the book can be read in one or two day’s sitting.
Some formatting would have improved this clutter. For example, the ‘Dedication’ page should not have contained anything on its reverse.
A ‘Contents’ page would have offered an oversight of what the book offers. Willis Carto’s ‘Foreword’ and Michael’s own ‘Preface’ and ‘Executive Summary’ just appear at the beginning of the book. At the end of the book appears ‘A Final Word’, the ‘Endnotes’, the excellent ‘Photo Section’, the adequate ‘Index’ and ‘A Letter From The Author’. The actual text has no chapters but contains 56 bold-printed headings. I have a faint suspicion that Collins Piper’s book may be following the Final Judgment format, which is now in its 6th edition, each one incorporating the latest information as closed archives are opened to yield their secrets to hungry historians. In time these 56 sections will then be developed into structured chapters – I hope.
Content -The Text
Although written two years ago, this book is as relevant as it was then, perhaps even more so as the US administration attempts to extricate itself from a disastrous Iraqi invasion, and as it currently fends off Iran’s move to dis-invest from Europe and re-invest in Asia. It is assumed that the latter is going to cause the USA financial markets some grief. Any country that disconnects from the US dollar, as Iraq wished to do before the US March 2003 invasion, will need to be disciplined by the values driving the US – freedom and democracy – a euphemistic way of saying military domination and economic exploitation, the actual antithesis of freedom and democracy.
The other main economic factor is that Iran is a political and financial power in the Middle East, and the fact that Iran will be moving out of the US dollar and into the Euro, that itself will hurt the USA. So it is imaginable that the USA will do everything it can to prevent Iran from opening its Oil Exchange service on 20 March 2006, as the US objected to Iraq moving into the Euro. When the US attacked Iraq the only Baghdad building that noticeably remained undamaged was that housing the Oil Ministry – so that existing oil contracts could be ripped up and re-written under US supervision.
The foregoing suggests that the attack on Iraq was driven by an economic imperative – oil. That may be so if we believe what some sectors of the world media are saying, but certainly no-one of sound mind believes the official Washington version for invading Iraq: looking for Saddam Hussein’s WMDs and spreading ‘freedom and democracy’ to the Middle East. The absurd claim is also made by none less than the strongest ‘coalition of the willing’ ally, Australia’s Prime Minister Mr John Howard, that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East.
Before this book was written only a small group of individuals had full knowledge of the conspiracy hatched by the Neo-Cons that controlled the Bush presidency’s political agenda. Saturated with Jewish individuals, such as Paul Wolfowitz (who now heads the World Bank), Richard Perle, William Kristol, et al, Collins Piper easily traces the Jewish factor that is driving American politics:
- externally by using US global dominance to secure Israel’s dominance of the Middle East, as opposed to Iran’s pre-eminence in this region developing naturally;
- internally to get the US Supreme Court to adopt Talmudic legal principles. All this is done under a globalist agenda driven by individuals who were once imbued with Trotskyite ideology.
This mental framework needs to be opposed, and Collins Piper says it is time for the American people to ‘to declare war on “The High Priests of War”.’ The Americans have been deceived for too long, says Collins Piper. The Cold War dichotomy was a fraud and it has been replaced by the fraudulent ‘terrorism war on Muslim extremists’.
March 17, 2003, the eve of Purim sees Jews celebrate their victory over their hated enemy, Haman, and on this day George Bush announced to the world that the US and its ‘coalition of the willing’ would attack Iraq without UN approval. In effect, as the former Malaysian Prime Minister, Mohammed Mahatir stated, Israel fights its war by proxy – the USA does such things for Israel.
What made all this easier to execute was, of course, the 9/11 tragedy, that insider-job attack by Americans on Americans. Thanks to the still free flow of information on the Internet, anyone critical of US policy could retrieve information about the US-Israel connection, something that Charles Krauthammer, in a Time article on 17 February 2003, openly bragged about a month before the US invaded Iraq. Also, the ‘Axis of Evil’ – Iraq, Iran, North Korea – focused US aggression somewhat on to the long-range projection that the Neo-Cons had propagated.
The unilateral attack on Iraq was not popular with critical Americans but the media drowned any effective airing of a counter view, but not so in the free flow of information on the Internet. Collins Piper shows how ‘The Billionaire Gang of Four’ – Rothschild, Bronfman, Oppenheimer and Murdoch – are the most to benefit from a continuation of a Middle East war, and these financiers and media giants in turn secure the existence of the State of Israel.
One example how Collins Piper supports his contention is illustrated by the following:
“It is no coincidence that the Defense Policy Board (DPB) would be the point of origin of a plan to make “heads roll” inside the military. Although ostensibly ‘independent’, the DPB was dominated at the time (and ostensibly remains so) by Richard Perle who – although he never served in the U.S. military – made a fortune in armaments profiteering on behalf of Israel’s military-industrial complex and has spent years promoting U.S. military engagements to defend the interests of Israel.”
He then goes on to quote from a Post article of 28 July 2002 that highlights the existing division between Bush pushing for was with Iraq and senior military personnel refusing to give up their current position of containment, a position also shared with senior staffers in the State Department and in the CIA. Of course senior staffers in the White House and in the Pentagon would wear down that resistance. And who were these men? Perle, Wolfowitz and Feith, among others – all Jews.
Here my usual retort is apt: Don’t blame the Jews, blame those that bend to their pressure!
Collins Piper’s use of contemporary media reports indicates the information about government is out there if citizens make use of their still remaining freedom of speech as enshrined in the First Amendment. Unfortunately, the fabricated 9/11 incidents enabled the Patriot Act to be adopted by a pliable Congress, as also happened in Australia when the Terrorism legislation was adopted by a pliable parliament. Such legislation is designed not to catch elusive terrorists but rather legally to stifle public criticism of government policies that favour the state of Israel.

5 of 5 Star Rating: Superbly written expose of a dangerous Zionist Conspiracy, August 19, 2005
By Sample Reviewer One
Piper has once again done a superb job of authoritatively exposing the powerful international cabal of Zionists who have taken control of the U.S. government, media, and nominal (so called) "Christian" leadership. An examination of just one of the Zionists, William Kristol, illustrates the power and influence of these criminals. William Kristol bragged in a March 17, 2003 article in The Weekly Standard (just one day prior to the U.S. launch of its war against Iraq) that "obviously, we are gratified that the Iraq strategy that we have long advocated . . . has become the policy of the U.S. Government." Who are the "we" to whom he is referring? They are neo-conservatives, more accurately described as Jewish Zionists. Their allegiance is to Israel; they are disloyal to the United States.
According to a profile provided by the Project for the New American Century: "William Kristol is editor of The Weekly Standard, as well as chairman and co-founder of the neo-conservative Project for the New American Century." The Project for the New American Century issued a paper in September 2000, wherein the organization stated that the United States must prepare to fight militarily on multiple fronts throughout the world. To do this, according to the project, would require a political and military transformation of the U.S. that would likely take a long time "absent a catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor." It was no coincidence that a year after Kristol and his fellow Zionists wished for a new Pearl Harbor, we were subjected to the well orchestrated insider 9-11 attacks. Evidence has pointed to Israel and the U.S. government as the perpetrators of that attack.
Kristol's political influence within the U.S. government is recognized by those in the know as being so pervasive that Richard Cohen of the Washington Post referred to the Iraq war as "Kristol's War." Kristol, who is Jewish, was one of the speakers slated for the 2nd Annual Ultimate Training Seminar for Pro-Israel Advocates on June 26-27, 2005 in Washington, D.C. The seminar is put on each year by the Israel Project. A memo from political consultants for the Israel Project advocated that "you do not want Americans to believe that the war on Iraq is being waged to protect Israel rather than to protect America." If the war were truly being fought to protect the interests of the United States, there would be no reason for concern that Americans would think that the war was in reality being fought on behalf of Israel. In fact, the Iraq War is being fought for Israel.
Many are not aware that William Kristol has been passed the neo-conservative torch from his influential father, Irving Kristol. Irving Kristol, is a member of the powerful (and subversive) Council on Foreign Relations and is widely credited with being a leading founder of the neo-conservative movement. Irving Kristol was a communist disciple of Leon Trotsky, the Jewish Zionist who, along with Vladimir Lenin and others, led the communist takeover of Russia. Communism is actually the ideology of the Jewish Talmud put into practice.
The goal of these evil antichrist conspirators is to make us slaves of their Zionist New World Order. The Zionist Jews have long planned on starting World War III, and the destruction of the World Trade Center is the first salvo in that World War. The 2003 invasion of Iraq is just another inexorable step toward World War III. Not all Jews are evil parasites bent on ruling the world. Some Jews upon learning of the true nature of the world conspiracy, recoil in disgust. Benjamin H. Freedman was one such Jew. Benjamin H. Freedman was an insider in the world Zionist conspiracy. He was a successful Jewish businessman of New York City who was at one time the principal owner of the Woodbury Soap Company. He broke with organized Jewry in 1945, when by the grace of God he was saved and became a Christian. He spent the remainder of his life and the great preponderance of his considerable fortune, exposing the Jewish conspiracy against the United States and the world. Freedman revealed the plans the Zionist Jews have for World War III.
Are the Zionists plans coming to fruition? It appears so. Stephanie Innes of the Arizona Daily Star, quoted Raanan Gissin, a senior adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon on March 18, 2003 saying: "We've been fighting a war for the past 18 months, which is the harbinger of World War III. The world is going to fight, whether they like it or not. I'm sure."

5 of 5 Star Rating: Outstanding, Essential! November 24, 2004
By Sample Reviewer Two
In order to understand the foreign policy of the Bush administration, this excellent book is an absolute essential. Herein, crusading author Michael Collins Piper accurately describes the rise of the nefarious neoconservatives and their clandestine control of the Bush White House. Who are they? They are committed Trotskyites such as Norman Podhoretz, his son, John, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Irving and William Kristol, Robert Kagan, and many others. What do they seek? The primary objective seems to the primacy of Israel in the Middle East. Ultimately, the plan seems to be for a nominally American, but truly Trotskyite, world empire. In this important, though albeit short book, lies the sinister plan for at least next four years. Read this important book carefully. Then hope and pray that the machinations of the evil plotters herein depicted can be derailed.
