[edit] NPOV?

Just came across this page and found it had an NPOV tag but no explanation of it on the talk page: I just wondered what the problems with the page are exactly; looking at the page history it seems a lot of content was deleted when the tag was put up, being labelled "conspiracy crap" by User:FCYTravis. I'd like to see what the objections with the page are before I start to contribute to it a little. Driller thriller 19:25, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Had a look at what was written before being deleted as 'conspiracy crap'. The deleted text looks at the issue of whether this (secret?) society still exists and who are alleged to be members as well as who are seen to be associated with them. While not referenced or cited in the text there were links that gave more information on these topics at the bottom of the page. With the usage of delimiting phrases such as 'alleged' and 'it is theorised by some that' etcetera I do not see how this information is not relevant, altough whether it is NPOV is questionable. But in this case who will represent 'the round table group's POV? assessing the NPOV of an article about a secret society will not be easy. Edzillion 13:25, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

The Rhodes-Milner Round Table Groups are discussed by G. Edward Griffin in The Creature from Jekyll Island; A Second Look at the Federal Reserve pp 267 -283 (American Media, 4th Ed. 2002). His primary source is a book by Carroll Quigley, a Georgetown University professor of history, Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time (Macmillan, 1966). Griffin discusses first the degree to which Quigley's book was suppressed because "He named names and provided meticulous documentation" (Creature, pp 213). Griffin also cites Quigley's The Anglo-American Establishment: From Rhodes to Clivedon (New York: Books in Focus, 1981). Griffin has a clearly Objectivist-Libertarian perspective which clouds some of his arguments in Creature, but the historical facts he bases them on seem well researched and verifiable. His background information explains Rhodes' fortune from South African diamond and gold mines was heavily financed by Nathan Rothschild, and the Boer War another economically based conflict to secure Rhodes' position in the country. Another discussion on this suggests that some of the groups, such as the US Council on Foreign Relations, may have made significant changes in their agendas in the intervening century.

[edit] What are the names of the various countries' round table groups?

If these groups hold meetings, decide upon plans, have powerful memberships, and have had many decades to accomplish their goals, we must know what the names of the round table groups are as they exist in each member country. When this is known, further investigation can take place by Wikipedia users from those places so that further information about them can be written into this and related articles. The separate agendas might uncover reasons why things are the way they are today due in part to the actions of these people? Public school systems seem to avoid this fascinating and important history possibly for reasons other than budgetary issues. Oldspammer (talk) 10:11, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
