This op/ed is an
as yet unfinished observation regarding the real power that runs
not only the U.S., but most of the world as well. Chapters as
yet unfinished are set in blue-text,
with bullet points or loose notes as to the direction of the
forthcoming information. This message isn't for Democrats and
Republicans, it is submitted for all Americans that truly value
our United States Constitution and our forefather's intent of a
Republic specifically governed "of the people, by the people,
and for the people." This article is a wake up call to all
Americans, asking for unity and one purpose, preserve our nation
and protect and defend our Constitution.
The founding fathers laid the foundation for a free republic.
The Hidden Coup On America
Many Americans
think they have it all, the best country, a free republic, and
the finest form of government the world has ever known. While
that very well may have been true at one time, sadly enough it
is no longer, and hasn’t been the case for quite some time. Many
would take issue with that assessment, but unfortunately they
would be naively mistaken because they have never been properly
educated on American history, nor have they ever personally
looked into the reality of the hidden history of the United
States and the long winding fascist coup of the 20th century
that stole the dream of our forefathers.
Some would
say, Impossible! How could such a thing happen without millions
of Americans being none the wiser?
The truth is
that we are a very young country and as a result are quite
ingenuous and most gullible when it comes to trusting not only
our government, but also our overly esteemed media, the latter
whose job it is to safeguard our republic by keeping us informed
of the truth.
What the
unsuspecting populace needs to understand is a very basic
concept; the only way to usurp a republic is to fool the
people. The only way to fool the people is to take their news
and entertainment media.
The way to steal their media is to simply buy it.
That is exactly
what has happened in this country, and as a result, a fascist
coup has been perpetrated by an elite few, without most being
none the wiser.
Unsuspecting
to many, we have been fooled and kept
in the dark for decades now by nefarious forces of greed,
primarily through a highly controlled corporate media.
The media alliance is absolutely imperative to a successful
coup, and is also invaluable to the powers that be in
hiding criminal misdeeds and political secrets from the public.
The media ownership by the powers that be is more
valuable than any standing army, for you can subdue an opponent
without a fight, through the indoctrination of propaganda and
disinformation. When the masses are unsuspecting and still fully
trusting of their media, the effects of this type of attack are
perhaps far more potent than a physical attack, because those
influenced will gullibly accept the misinformation
voluntarily on their own, never knowing any better.
Certainly one person who understood this concept quite well was
Sir Winston Churchill who once said, "History is written by
the victors."
That simple statement is the essential key to understanding how
a large population can be deceived en masse. Our publishing
houses, along with our bought and paid for corporately owned
American media, have been and still are, owned by those who wish
to keep us in the dark on matters of truth, relating to their
behind the scenes corporate endeavors for monopoly, as well as
their pernicious political forays for influence and power. Whenever
the wealthy seek to profit unfairly at the public’s expense, it
is most always done in a clandestine manner.
But please
don’t take this author’s word for it, turn off the television
and look into the facts of our American history on your own. No
one ever said freedom was supposed to be easy. You have
to fight to keep it.
A woman once
asked Benjamin Franklin after the Philadelphia constitutional
convention, “Sir, what type of government have you given us?”
Franklin replied, “A republic, if you can keep it,”
for he knew all too well of the money powers that would prey
upon a government of the people, by the people and for the
people.
Notice that
Franklin never said a "democracy." He said we were given
a "republic," for the forefathers knew that it was under
a
republic that all people would be free. Nowhere in our
Constitution does it say the word
"democracy." A simple word search of the document will
show that it is just not in there.
We have been
brainwashed to believe that democracy is the right of the
people, but democracy is essentially mob rule, the
greater portion of the population rules the rest.
The
Constitution is not about what's best for left or right, for
liberals or conservations, or for that matter, the majority.
It's about what's best for all Americans.
Unfortunately, "mob rule" has become the essence of our
very political system, the majority, 51% get to make the
laws for the minority, the other 49%. That was not at all
the dream of our forefathers, for they wanted to protect even 1%
from the other 99%. So long as you were a decent moral, law
abiding citizen, you had the inalienable right to live your life
the way you wanted to, not according to the majority rules
concept.
Definition: re-pub-lic,
a government in which supreme power resides in
its citizens. A form of
government in which the people hold supreme control over the
government, and in which the head of government is not a
monarch. The word "republic" is derived from the Latin phrase
res publica, which can be translated as "a public
affair".
Definition: de-moc-ra-cy,
government
by the people; especially,
rule of the majority.
Again,
"democracy" was not the form of government that our
forefathers wanted for us. They organized a "republic."
We have been brainwashed to think a democracy is best, when it
truly is contrary to the vision of a republic, freedom for
everyone.
Due diligence
is continually necessary to preserve the dream of a fair
republic, which was envisioned and meticulously planned and laid
out by our forefathers.
We have been
led astray and most haven't even the slightest inkling
whatsoever. We have been purposefully divided and politically
enslaved into a system of left versus right, liberals and
conservatives, Democrats and Republicans. It's an "us against
them" mentality that keeps us divided, a Hatfields and
McCoys mindset that our neighbor is our enemy. Nothing could
be further from the truth, but it's in someone's best interest
to keep us this way.
Remember the
old saying... "United we stand, divided we fall." -John
Dickinson
I am making an
earnest personal plea to all of you, not as Democrats or
Republicans, but as Americans, to please look on your
own and seek the real truth, while you still have a chance
to find it.
Who Has The Capability For Absolute
Control?
One thought to
consider is that the most successful coups don’t come from the
outside, but from within, where people least expect them, and
that is why most are blind to the takeover that has taken place
in this country, because well financed traitors from within have
deceived us and surreptitiously stolen our Constitutional
freedoms from an unsuspecting populace.
The first
thing to understand is, who has the power to manipulate
government, to entice our politicians, to steal our media and
fool an entire nation, without most of the general populace ever
catching on?
For any plan
to exist for well over 100 years, you have to ask yourself how
it could ever stay together and perpetuate beyond a century.
While we may be tied to only two major political parties in the
U.S., faces and names do change. The organizational body does
not remain fully intact as it changes through elected terms.
Even religious organizations initiate some change over the
course of time. Ideals may shift amongst these various control
groups, somewhat, as decades go by, so what possible
faction could not only maintain a steadfast ideology, but also a
consistent membership over the long haul? The only two groupings
that could possibly hold the most consistency would have to be
occult secret societies and ultra-wealthy elite bloodlines.
While this
author is not a fan of occult organizations, they do indeed
exist, but they too need a consistent membership to maintain
their order. The one segment of society that appears most
obvious is the ultra-rich oligarchs and aristocracies of the
world. We're not talking about simply those who are well off
enough to be above the middle class, but the absolute filthy
rich, those who have stolen or inherited vast fortunes, for
whom money is indeed no object. On the international
scene it could be families of nobility, such as kings, queens
and assorted monarchs, but for a country as young as the United
States it would have to be the 1% of Americans who control the
majority of wealth in this country… the absolutely filthy
rich, the Rockefellers, the Morgans, the Waltons, the Koch
brothers, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, etc. It is enormous wealth of these proportions that
is able to usurp our political system, especially when a cabal
of many is present. It is massive
wealth in the hands of a few that allows control of the
rest. It’s as simple as that.
The elite
ultra-wealthy that own it all, the 1,011 billionaires of the
world, are the ones to keep a watchful eye on. The U.S. has 403
of those billionaires, a disproportionate figure when compared
to the rest of the world. Despite having only 5.2 percent
of the world’s population, the U.S. has 41 percent of the
world’s millionaires. That is an inordinate percentage of total
international wealth to come from one country.
The
top 400 in American wealth are all billionaires. From
William Ford Sr. (Ford Motor Company) with $1-billion, to Bill
Gates (Microsoft) with $54-billion, the richest 400 are but only
0.00013029037979808572 percent of the U.S. population. This
isn't even close to the 1% figure that is said to own it all,
yet these 400 individuals are without a doubt the wealthiest of
all.
These wealthy elite are clearly a
diminutive figure in comparison to the
307-million
plus Americans who inhabit the U.S., but they clearly own an
overwhelming vast majority of the nation's wealth.
The danger that
exists is, what happens if two or more of these members of
outlandish wealth should ever ally together in a criminal cause?
The disposable income that they can afford to lose on a cause or
for an agenda is an imposing and dangerous figure, one which is
offset and made possible due to the tremendous money stream of
continual income that they receive. They can throw millions into
a project, knowing full well that they literally have many
millions more coming right back in,
without ever jeopardizing their overall total wealth.
It is with this premise in mind,
the power of great wealth,
that this article takes a look at an enduring ideology for total
world domination, as well as a look at the families of great wealth
who not only have the riches to fulfill such an endeavor, but
also the perpetual seed to carry such a plan forward.
Some might claim this to be a
fruitless venture of paranoid delusion, but they would be remiss
in recognizing that
such a threat from the wealthy has already presented itself and
has been documented at least twice in the last one
hundred years, both times with significant adverse
consequences for the poor and middle class of the U.S.
If this is all new to you, don't feel bad. Those that control
this world have worked very hard so that you don't know the real
truth, but if you'd like to know more about the hidden history
of the United States in the 20th century, please read on.
Beware The Banker
Bankers have
always been at the seat of all endeavors of state. The bankers
have the greatest influence of all, because of their access to
big money and their ability to fund agendas and political
policies, but without a moral center they are the absolute worst of all
influences.
"Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who
writes the laws."
-Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812) Founder of the House of
Rothschild.
Sentiment
such as this seems to have prevailed over the ages and is what
causes many to not trust the big bankers. In those days, bankers
were not widely trusted by a great many. Consider the
following quotes:
"I believe that banking institutions are more
dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they
have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government
at defiance. The issuing power (of money) should be taken away
from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly
belongs."
-Thomas Jefferson.
"History records that the money changers have
used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means
possible to maintain their control over governments by
controlling money and it's issuance." -James Madison
Consider this
quote from another historical leader…
"When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they
and not the leaders of the government control the situation,
since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money
has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without
decency; their sole object is gain." -Napoleon Bonaparte,
Emperor of France.
Wise words
indeed when it comes to those of great wealth.
Bankers are not the only figures of immense
wealth, but they do indeed control the fortunes of nations.
Precious metal and jewel magnates, railroad and shipping barons,
not to mention industrialists capitalizing on technology or
valuable raw materials, such as steel, they too are all significant
forces of wealth to be reckoned with.
Money has
deviously been employed as the new slave master, which,
combined with an unchecked system of capitalism, has
become
a powerful tool within an empowering web of greed that enriches
an elite few, while oppressing the greater majority.
It is the
greater forces of immense wealth, and their applied effects
and influence on society, that this article will attempt to
examine.
As the old
saying goes, "Money is power and power is control."
With that age old adage in mind, we begin this journey with
another more contemporary quote in mind, the infamous wisdom of
Watergate mole "Deep Throat" who was reported to have told
Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward, "follow the money."
The Monetary Struggle For America
It has often
been said that man is a slave to money. Nothing could literally
be more true. The money system has for years been a rigged game
which only benefits those who control it. Money is used to
enslave those who have little of it. It has become a form of
slavery that few recognize, but most become entrapped in.
Money is the possibility or the right to exploit
the labours of others. Money is a new form of slavery, which
differs form the old only in being impersonal, and in freeing
people from all the human relations of the slave. –Leo Tolstoy
Of the many
reasons that our forefathers left England for, religious
freedom, or to escape the oppression and tyranny of the
monarchy, perhaps none stood out more prominently than its
unfair interest bearing system of banking.
In the new
American colonies, the Virginia colonists were given their own
self government. They devised their own system of currency, free
from the taxing money system of the crown, but after time, the
long arm of oppression from the British government eventually
reached out back across the
Atlantic and imposed their monetary rule once again.
The Currency
Act of 1751 was the start of the British crackdown on the
colonial money system, with the final Currency Act of 1764
actually forbidding the colonies from issuing their own paper
money. This forced the colonists to once again borrow money from
the central bank of England, with interest, which soon created
debt for the colonists. The very same swindle they had escaped
from was now being levied on them once again, only this time in
the new colonies of America. The colonists were once again
slaves to the monetary system of the monarchy.
This long
struggle between Britain and the American colonies over the
right to issue their own paper money was a significant factor in
bringing about the American Revolution.
"The
colonies would gladly have borne the little tax on tea and other
matters had it not been that England took away from the colonies
their money, which created unemployment and dissatisfaction. The
inability of colonists to get power to issue their own money
permanently out of the hands of George the III and the
international bankers was the prime reason for the Revolutionary
War." -Benjamin Franklin
With the
aforementioned in mind, we flash forward to the 1860s.
A Civil War, Or An Orchestrated Attack?
Before you can
understand this takeover, we need to start at the beginning, the
genesis of the coup, in the late 19th century.
We’ve all been
taught that one of the main reasons for the civil war was over
the issue of slavery, among other reasons, but consider for a
moment the possibility of another cause, that of foreign
intervention. Many have postulated over outside influences, to
foment a divide among the states, to conquer under a weakened
state. Some have theorized that the English crown wanted its
colony back and had a hand in dividing our nation, so as to
conquer it through financial means, rather than outright war.
There have
been rumors throughout history that the civil war was brought
about by the wealthy bankers of Europe in an attempt to divide
the nation and then conquer it through its banking system. Their
intent was a new central banking system which would have total
monetary control over the U.S.
Before the
birth of the Federal Reserve, we had a national bank, created in
1791 with the support of Alexander Hamilton. It lasted until
1811 when it officially lapsed. Banks were given limited
charters at that time, because like corporations, our
forefathers knew the immense power that could grow out of them
to threaten the state.
The second
national bank came into being in 1816 under President James
Madison, supposedly to help offset the financial pains of the
nation after the war of 1812.
Andrew Jackson
opposed the creation of a national bank for ideological reasons.
Jackson said it was unconstitutional and gave an excessive
amount of power to one single entity. He claimed that it wielded
too much control over the Congress, but most of all, it
threatened the government through usurpation by private foreign
entities, the wealthy elite of Europe.
"If
Congress has the right to issue paper money, it was given to
them to be used by themselves... and not to be delegated to
individuals or corporations"
-President Andrew Jackson, Vetoed Bank Bill of 1836
Jackson argued that a
national bank only increased the fortunes of an elite wealthy
inner circle, at the expense of the common man, farmers and
laborers. In 1832, Jackson won his banking battle, successfully vetoing an attempt to
re-charter the bank, and withdrawing the government’s money one year
later.
Jackson had
killed the National Bank. The European
House of Rothschild
was greatly upset that they had lost their fierce battle with Jackson over
their lucrative Central Bank.
A few years later,
in 1835,
an assassination attempt was made on Jackson, alleged by many as
the result of the banking issue, but Jackson survived the
attack, due luckily enough when both of the assassin’s pistols
misfired. This was the first ever attempted assassination of a
U.S. President. It unfortunately would not be the last.
The
Rothschilds did not give up though and persisted in their quest
for financial control of the U.S. Please consider the following
comments, written
by the Rothschilds in a letter
to New York banking interests, proposing a new “system” to the
wealthy elite of our country,
just two years before Lincoln’s assassination.
"The few
who understand the system will either be so interested in its
profits or be so dependent upon its favours that there will be
no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the
great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the
tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will
bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even
suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests."
-The Rothschild brothers of London writing to associates in New
York, 1863.
The
“system” that the Rothschilds were referring to was a new
proposed monetary control scheme, capable of toppling government
through the takeover of its banking and currency. The
“system,” as it was described, would eventually become known
as the Federal Reserve System.
It would
appear that the issues we have been taught about regarding the
origins of the civil war may not be as we were led to believe.
Slavery was merely a guise for motives far more sinister in the
division of the union.
Abraham
Lincoln is quoted as saying at the time, "combinations too
powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary machinery of peacetime
government have assumed control of various southern states."
The Coup Begins
Assassinated U.S. Presidents, Abraham Lincoln,
James Garfield and William McKinley.
If ever there
was a significant moment in history where our country was the
most vulnerable, it was clearly during the civil war era and the
reconstruction period. We were a divided nation in conflict. The animosity from this
domestic war certainly didn’t end abruptly overnight with the
final surrender document at Appomattox. Even to this very
day, we still have residual sentiment left over in the South, so
it is not hard to understand that we were not functioning at our
political best as a unified government during that time. To coin
an old phrase, we were most likely ripe for the picking.
During this
reconstruction period, a dramatic challenge took place as we had
three sitting United States Presidents murdered. Three!
All were
assassinated within a very short 36 year period. This is a
disturbing historical fact which is quite alarming, yet seldom
dealt with in American history books.
1865 -
Assassination of President Lincoln
1881 -
Assassination of President Garfield
1901 -
Assassination of President McKinley
Suspiciously
enough, all of those presidential murders coincidentally
occurred within a very narrow window of history that was ideal
with opportunity for disaster capitalism. The reconstruction
period was indeed a period as tumultuous as the war itself.
Three U.S.
presidents killed in just 36 years. That is an incredibly short
time span to have the most highly guarded leader in the U.S.
murdered, three times!
Was it all just a wild coincidence, or was it a
calculated criminal collusion for control of the United States?
How did the
Secret Service fail on three separate occasions to protect three
different presidents?
A single
person, one lone gunmen, is able to penetrate Secret
Service protection and successfully pull off the assassination
each time.
Seriously??
One thing is
without doubt, all of this took place during the weakest
possible moment
in our nation’s history, while we were healing from a civil war,
yet very much still politically divided. It was the perfect
chance for a coup.
Many would
openly agree that three assassinated presidents in a span of
just 36
years, a period of only nine possible presidential terms, is
quite alarming and certainly very questionable, considering the
extreme security.
If you were to
witness firsthand the assassination of not one, not two, but
three American president’s in your lifetime, specifically in a
very short 36 year period, you would have to ask yourself, what
behind the scenes struggle was taking place at that time in our
nation’s history?
For those old
enough to realize the time frame, this period would be the same
duration as 1974 until 2010, and yet we still grieve for one
president killed beyond that, over 40 years ago in 1963. (No disrespect
intended to JFK.)
So what are the odds that
three presidents would fall in such a short amount of time?
This is a
startling fact, not explored well enough in American history
books and our classrooms, perhaps because of the powerful
goliath that grew out of this great turmoil. We don't study this
period as much as we probably should because those who stole the
power don't want us to look. They control everything, including
the major publishing houses that print our history books.
Again, we defer to the
wisdom of Churchill, that history is indeed written by the
victors. If the unscrupulous ultra-rich own the publishing
houses, where is the untainted reference for future generations
to understand an accurate record of history?
As with every
major political assassination, we’ve been taught to believe it
was all merely the work of one lone assailant, someone mentally
unstable, or full of political hate. It’s a discomforting
thought to think that one single person was capable of easily
circumventing presidential security in order to murder the
President of the United States on three separate occasions!
Is it possible
that all three of these presidential assassinations were not
the work of a single person, nor separate isolated occurrences
all to themselves? Is it possible that something far more
sinister might have been at work? Given the short time span
involved, it certainly seems plausible, if not perfectly
reasonable, that perhaps there was a cabal in place, a well
funded aggressive political adversary instigating an internal
struggle with the U.S. government.
One Possible Motive: Opposition To Bank
Control
President Lincoln
had angered the powerful banking institutions when he said,
"The money power preys upon
the nation in times of peace and conspires against it in times
of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent
than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. I see in the near
future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to
tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been
enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and
the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its
reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the
wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few and the Republic is
destroyed ... I feel at the moment more anxiety for the safety
of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war."
-Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln was
greatly upset by the banks’ extremely high interest rates (24%
to 36%), in return for funding of the civil war. This would have
plunged the nation into extreme debt, if not a national
bankruptcy. Lincoln refused and passed the Legal Tender Act of
1862, issuing the first "green backs," a new national
currency that was interest free.
Lincoln had
proclaimed, "The privilege of creating and issuing money is
not only the supreme prerogative of Government, but is the
Government's greatest creative opportunity. By the adoption of
these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of
interest."
The bankers
were angered by this and also Lincoln’s new greenbacks, and for
it Lincoln paid a horrible price.
The London
Times wrote about Lincoln's new greenbacks: "If that
mischievous financial policy which had its origin in the North
America Republic during the late war in that country, should
become indurated down to a fixture, then that Government will
furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off its debts
and be without debt. It will become prosperous beyond precedent
in the history of the civilized governments of the world. The
brains and wealth of all countries will go to North America.
That government (the Lincoln administration) must be destroyed
or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe."
After his
assassination Congress passed the Contraction Act on April 12,
1866 which called for the retiring of Lincoln's green backs from
circulation.
President James A. Garfield
was also said to understand the danger presented by the wealthy
bankers. Two quotes are attributed to Garfield:
"Whoever controls the money of a nation, controls
that nation."
"Whoever controls the volume
of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and
commerce."
Garfield was
alleged to have made a statement to the effect that the bankers
can create a depression whenever they want.
Garfield was
also assassinated, in 1881, during his first year in office.
President William
McKinley also had his run in with the banks. In 1893, he
faced a personal crisis that almost sidetracked his political
career. He had co-signed bank notes totaling more than
$100,000.00 to help a friend start a business. The business
failed and McKinley was expected to repay the bank loans.
McKinley did not have the money. His friends, raised enough
funds to repay the loans and a sympathetic public re-elected him
as governor in 1893.
In 1896 the
banks came under attack from William Jennings Bryan, so the rich
bankers supported
McKinley who was elected president. He was then re-elected in
1900 on a gold standard platform.
McKinley was known as a “hard money” man, because he was
in favor of a gold standard backing our currency, instead of the
fiat money that pays handsome fortunes to the banking elite.
McKinley was against “easy money”that had no backing, lent by
bankers at a sizable interest
to the borrower. This type of currency was to become the
eventual backbone of the soon to be Federal Reserve system.
McKinley's
stance on the gold standard was obviously an adversarial
position to the new "system" proposed by the European Rothschild
bankers. This very likely caused a problem for the Rothschild's
plans.
In light of
the positions of Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley over U.S.
currency, it does indeed seem altogether plausible that elite
men of wealth may have conspired to remove these officials from
office. Once you recognize what soon followed these political
exterminations, the possibility of an orchestrated coup becomes
all the more possible, if not inevitable.
It
should be noted that when McKinley ran for President, Republican
powers were adamant that he choose wealthy New York socialite
and banking friend Teddy Roosevelt as his running mate. This
would play a key role later for creation of the Fed, once
Roosevelt assumed office for the murdered McKinley.
In
1907, with the bankers annoyed at Congress and their refusal to
institute a new central bank, the bankers took matters into
their own hands, with JP Morgan Sr., at the forefront of the
cause. Morgan was said to have
started a rumor that the Trust
Company of America was about to go under. This created a panic
and an ensuing run on the banks, triggering a huge financial
crisis, but with banking friend Roosevelt taking over for the
murdered McKinley, the fix was in.
Roosevelt signed into law the National Monetary Commission, a
ruse to calm a panic stricken public. Senator Nelson Aldrich
would become the head of this new agency and the machinations
for the greatest financial coup ever were suddenly in place.
A 'Fowl' Endeavor
(L-R) Jekyll Island, off the coast of Georgia, as
well as the Jekyll Island Hunt Club.
Just nine
years after the third presidential assassination, a group of six
very powerful and wealthy men met on November 22nd,
1910, in a then secret meeting off the coast of Georgia, on
Jekyll Island, owned by a group of multi-millionaires, led by JP
Morgan Sr., all of whom were said to comprise 1/6th
of the world’s total wealth at that time. The meeting was
clandestinely arranged under the guise of a duck hunting trip,
but these wealthy elite were in actuality planning the takeover
of this nation's banking and monetary system; in essence, a coup
on the United States of America.
These magnates
of wealth represented a vast majority of the world's mega-rich,
such as the Rockefellers, the Morgan's, the Warburg's and the
Rothschild's,
with a heavy attendance from JP Morgan interests.
They were invited to the meeting by Senator Nelson Aldrich, the
head of
the National Monetary Commission, with
all of them refusing to use their last names in the hopes of not
being found out or implicated in their treasonous takeover plan.
For this
meeting, all of the servants were said to be given two weeks off
and removed from the island, with new replacement servants
brought in, so as to lessen the chances of recognition over its
secret wealthy guests. Afterwards, when word leaked out, none of
the wealthy attendees would admit to being there, until the
Federal Reserve was finally enacted a few years later.
As a result of
this secret meeting in 1910, the Federal Reserve System was born
and instituted just a few years later in 1913, the same year
that JP Morgan Sr. would die.
It was on
Woodrow Wilson’s watch that the Federal Reserve coup was
perpetrated against our country, but before it could happen,
Wilson had to be coerced.
President
Taft, like Jackson and others before him, was against
establishing a central bank, vowing to veto any such move, so
the banking elite, led by
Bernard Baruch,
approached Wilson and assured him of their support in the
upcoming election, but only if he would support their plans for
the Federal Reserve System, as well as a new income tax. They
would also help staff Wilson's cabinet, filling it with
supporters of their plan. Wilson agreed to go along with the
plan and was elected president.
The plot
becomes very interesting through the appointment of one of
Wilson's new advisors, Colonel Edward M. House, an operative of
the wealthy elite
who
was put in place to steer
their plan through the Wilson administration and Congress. House
was at the very least antithetical to U.S. government, as it was
envisioned and set forth by our forefathers. At the worst, House
could arguably be considered a treasonous individual, due to his
radical belief that the Constitution was a product of 18th
century thinking and was no longer viable, requiring a drastic
change from a government of the people.
House was
already the
infamous
author of a heretical futuristic novel titled, "Philip
Dru: Administrator, A Story of Tomorrow, 1920-1935." The
story details a coup against the U.S. government and a rewriting
of the Constitution, favoring a central bank, a graduated income
tax, and a new world order under a 'League of Nations." House
was without question a dubious administration appointment, one
with adverse political ideology to the nation, with indisputable
contrarian Constitutional views.
In
hindsight, a case could arguably be made that House's novel was a premeditated blueprint for restructuring the nation. His
actions and those of the Wilson administration appeared to
follow the novel so closely that at the end of WW I, Wilson's
fourteen points included the formation of an "association of
nations." Just as in House's book, the League of Nations was
born, however it failed to lead to a world government because
the U.S. refused to ratify the Treaty of Versailles.
At the end of his term,
President Wilson held such great remorse over the decision to
allow the Federal Reserve into being, that upon leaving office,
he sadly admitted his gullibility in allowing the cabal to take
control over our nation’s monetary system.
"I am a
most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great
industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our
system of credit is concentrated in the hands of a few men. We
have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most
completely controlled and dominated governments in the world--no
longer a government of free opinion, no longer a government by
conviction and vote of the majority, but a government by the
opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men."
-President Woodrow Wilson
Think about
having the power to control a nation's currency. Seriously. How
much power would you have at your fingertips? Think about the
concept of that kind of power, not in
the hands or control of government, but in the hands of private
bankers. That is exactly what we have under the Federal
Reserve Act.
This is
probably one of the best kept secrets in the United States, that
the Federal Reserve is not owned by the US Federal Government
and there is no reserve. Again, it is a private institution, a
cartel of ultra-wealthy owners of the banking community.
When those of
great financial wealth hold that much control over our monetary
system, a power far greater than that of nations is created. Our
country is a slave to their interests as long as we remain part
of the Federal Reserve “system.”
It is interesting to note that in 1926 the United
States Congress banned the use of the words "Reserve", "United
States" and "Federal" in any bank names. Only those institutions
with the words already in use, such as The Federal Reserve, were
allowed a grandfather clause to keep them in their titles.
When money speaks, the truth keeps silent. -Russian Proverb

A Historical
Side Note:
It should be mentioned that while the secret planning for the
Federal Reserve was taking place, another calculated takeover
was drawing discussion as well, the break-up of Rockefeller's Standard
Oil through the Sherman Antitrust Act. The irony is that both the
US government and Standard Oil each tried to undermine the
other, but apparently the power of overwhelming wealth and
political influence eventually won out for Rockefeller in the
end.
The First Billionaire & First Monopoly: Rockefeller & Standard Oil
Before we can go
forward, we have to take a step back in order to allow a
complete picture of the complexity with the US government and
Rockefeller's Standard Oil. The dynamic between the two entities made for a
combustible relationship which came to a head in 1910 and 1911.
The first year showed Rockefeller in a treasonous scheme with other
multi-millionaires for control of the U.S. currency system. The
latter year notes the U.S. ruling to break up the Standard Oil
Trust.
Founded in 1870 as a corporation from Ohio, Standard Oil
was the first true corporate
juggernaut at the time and wielded tremendous influence and
power, controlling 88% of the refined oil produced early on in
America. As the
largest oil refiner in the world, the company took a lion's
share of the market in oil production, transportation, and
refining.
Standard Oil and it interests is a Rockefeller
company. Not only did the Rockefellers give birth to
America's first multinational corporation, but also America's
first billionaire as well.
William Avery Rockefeller was said to be a
"snake-oil" salesman, however his family would prosper far
beyond him. It was John Davidson Rockefeller Sr. (1839-1937) who
was America's first billionaire, but it was his son, John D.
Rockefeller Jr. (1874-1960) who defined the family empire. The
junior Rockefeller would eventually sire a daughter, Abby, as
well as five sons, John D the III, Nelson, Laurance, Winthrop,
and David. It is David Rockefeller (1915) who has carried the
family legacy forward. He will leave it in the hands of his
namesake, David Rockefeller Jr.
Standard Oil is alive through Exxon-Mobil and
Chevron.
In 1892 the
state of Ohio went after Standard Oil in court and won, forcing the
break-up of the trust. It wasn't much of a drastic restructuring
though. Standard merely spun off Standard Oil of Ohio,
but they kept control.
Due to a
loosening of the New Jersey incorporation laws Standard Oil
Trust was reborn in 1899 at 26 Broadway in New York as a holding
company, Standard Oil Company of New Jersey (SOCNJ).
The company held stock in 41 companies, which in turn held stock
in many other companies, and so on. The public was said to
openly grow
suspicious and worried about accountability to the
government.
The Federal Commissioner of Corporations ruled
unequivocally that Standard's dominant position in the oil
refining industry was due "to unfair practices, to abuse of
the control of pipe-lines, to railroad discriminations, and to
unfair methods of competition."
In 1904 Standard Oil controlled 91% of US
production.
In 1909 the Department of Justice sued Standard
Oil under federal law
through the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. It was the
government's position that Standard had developed a monopoly and
was influencing interstate commerce. The company was forced to break into 34 smaller companies
in 1911.
In 1911 Standard's share of US refining had
diminished to 64%. This was hundreds of millions in lost
revenue versus the turn of the century, however, Rockefeller
became far wealthier after the break up due to the rise in stock
prices afterwards.
When he was informed of the US
Supreme Court's decision to breakup of Standard Oil, Mr.
Rockefeller turned to his golfing partner and said, "Father
Lennon, have you some money?" And the priest was very
startled by the question and said, "No." And then he
asked, "Why?" And Rockefeller replied, "Buy Standard
Oil."
The government's 1911 decision to
bust up the Trust had the direct affect and end result of making
the individual company pieces more valuable than the single
corporate entity. As a direct result stock prices rose
tremendously. Rockefeller ended up a far wealthier man as a
result. Some might say that anyone who can engineer their
own destruction by gaining billions more in profit is either
most fortunate and a very lucky person indeed, or perhaps is the most
cunning of all.
Potentially the most significant American
company ever set forth, beaten back by government intervention. Chairman
John D. Rockefeller was no doubt outraged at the ruling, but was forced to
submit to the break-up.
Two of these
companies were
Jersey Standard (Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey) and
Socony (Standard Oil Company of New York). Within
thirty years, both companies grew significantly. One of the original
spin-off companies, Jersey Standard, would re-acquire the world title as the largest
single oil producer in the world. (It
also acquired a 50% share in Humble
Oil & Refining Co., a Texas oil
producer.) The company eventually changed its name to Exxon.
Socony purchased a 45 percent interest in
Magnolia Petroleum Co., a major refiner, marketer and pipeline
transporter. (In 1931, Socony merged with Vacuum Oil Co., an industry pioneer
dating back to 1866, and a growing Standard Oil spin-off in its own right.)
The company was changed to Mobil.
On November 30th, 1999, Exxon and Mobil were allowed to
reunite under legal merger, becoming Exxon-Mobil, arguably, once again,
the top oil company in the world.
Tracking The Standard Oil
Breakup:
Exxon and Mobil merge to reunite.
Standard Oil of Indiana, became Amoco
Standard Oil of Ohio (SOHIO) ...now owned,
along with Amoco, by BP.
Standard Oil of California
became the
Chevron Corporation
Of the 34 "Baby Standards", only 11 were given rights to the Standard Oil
name, based on the state they were in.
Conoco and
Atlantic elected to use their respective names instead of the Standard
name, and their rights would be claimed by other companies.
Currently, three
super-major companies own the rights to the Standard brand name in the United
States: Exxon-Mobil,
Chevron Corporation, and BP.
BP acquired
it's US rights through acquiring
Standard Oil of Ohio and Amoco, and
has a small handful of stations in the
Midwestern United States using the Standard name.
Chevron has one
station in each state it owns the rights to branded as Standard except in Kentucky,
which it withdrew from in July 2010.
Exxon-Mobil keeps the initial Standard corporate entity
still alive. While Exxon-Mobil
has full international rights to the Standard name, it continues to use the Esso name overseas.
The Standard Oil of yesterday is essentially alive and
well today through its progeny, Chevron and Exxon-Mobile, with both
companies once again dominating the industry as their parent company did for
so long.
Attack / Counterattack
It would seem apparent that the U.S. government
went after Rockefeller first, filing against him as much as
perhaps a year before his alleged duck hunting trip to Jekyll
Island. It would appear that Rockefeller fought back quite hard
as a result, resorting to a treasonous coup.
Much like Europe
and the Rothschilds, the U.S. did not see the danger coming
until it was too late, such an enormous private wealth to
contend with, holding far too much
power and influence.
Could part of Rockefeller's motive for the
Federal Reserve coup be based on revenge for the government
going after his Standard Oil?
The U.S. government was successful in breaking up
Standard Oil company, although allowing Rockefeller to get even
richer in the process while his stocks were splitting.
The coup from the Money Trust though would be
even grander yet, allowing them total control over printing of
the nation's currency.
It would appear that Rockefeller came out ahead
on all fronts.
Repercussions From The Fed
The Federal Reserve is not Federal and there is
no reserve.
The Federal Reserve has had a devastating and
disastrous effect on not only the United States, but also the
world.
World Wars I and II were both made possible
through the financial aid from the Fed, including all wars
since.
The Agricultural Depression of 1920 is attributed
to Federal Reserve policies, as well as the 1929 Black Friday
Wall Street Crash and the resulting Great Depression.
Before the great financial crash, Paul Warburg
was said to issue an insider tip to those of the wealthy elite
so that they could pull out of the market in time, without
losing their vast wealth. This in turn put them in the
advantageous position to buy out companies for mere pennies on
the dollar, increasing their fortunes and industrial power.
(This was written about by Gary
Allen and Larry Abraham in
"None Dare Call it Conspiracy,") It is interesting to note that
this is the exact same scenario that just recently occurred with
the orchestrated financial collapse of 2008.
Another repercussion of the Fed
was the dissolution of the gold standard, instigating the
transference of the people’s wealth into worthless paper assets.
Under this
system, our money is no longer backed by anything other than
faith. It is literally a rich man’s shell game. There is no
longer gold or silver backing every dollar. Our money is now
called “legal tender.” It is a manufactured currency.
The obvious
biggest pitfall of this unscrupulous financial system is an ever
growing debt, due to the extortion-type system of interest due
to those who print the money.
The other
disadvantage, once the U.S. left the gold system, was runaway
inflation.
These two
damaging drawbacks would bankrupt and eventually enslave the
nation.
Opposition Against The Federal Reserve
Many notable
American Congressman and political leaders had much to say about
the Federal Reserve System and have given dire warnings
immediately upon its inception. They knew of the dangers
presented by this powerful cartel.
"This [Federal Reserve] act establishes the most
gigantic trust on earth... When the President signs this act the
invisible government by the money power, proven to exist by the
Money Trust investigation, will be legalized..."
"I have
seen these forces exerted during the different stages of this
bill" and "The money power overawes the legislative and
executive forces of the Nation and of the States."
-Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr., December 22, 1913,
[Congressional Record dated vol. 51]
"From now
on, depressions will be scientifically created."
-Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh Sr. , 1913
"The [Federal Reserve Act] as it stands seems to
me to open the way to a vast inflation of the currency... I do
not like to think that any law can be passed that will make it
possible to submerge the gold standard in a flood of
irredeemable paper currency."
-Henry Cabot Lodge Sr., 1913
"The Money
Trust ... caused the 1907 panic, and thereby forced Congress to
create a National Monetary Commission." -Congressman Charles
Lindberg, [Congressional Record, December 22, 1913, vol. 51]
"The
financial system has been turned over to the Federal Reserve
Board. That Board administers the finance system by authority of
a purely profiteering group. The system is Private, conducted
for the sole purpose of obtaining the greatest possible profits
from the use of other people's money." -Charles A. Lindbergh
Sr., 1923
"We have,
in this country, one of the most corrupt institutions the world
has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board. This evil
institution has impoverished the people of the United States and
has practically bankrupted our government. It has done this
through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who
control it." -Congressman Louis T. McFadden in 1932 (Rep.
Pa)
"The
Federal Reserve banks are one of the most corrupt institutions
the world has ever seen. There is not a man within the sound of
my voice who does not know that this nation is run by the
International bankers.” -Congressman Louis T. McFadden
"Some
people think the Federal Reserve Banks are the United States
government's institutions. They are not government institutions.
They are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of
the United States for the benefit of themselves and their
foreign swindlers" -Louis T. McFadden, Chairman of the
Committee on Banking and Currency, June 10, 1932 [
Congressional Record 12595-12603. ]
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The
Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them
the power to create deposits, and with the flick of the pen they
will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take
it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will
disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a
happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain
the slaves of Bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let
them continue to create deposits". -Sir Josiah Stamp,
(President of the Bank of England in the 1920's, the second
richest man in Britain)
"It is well enough that people of the nation do not
understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I
believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."
-Henry Ford
"To expose a 15-Trillion dollar rip-off of the American
people by the stockholders of the 1000 largest corporations over
the last 100 years will be a tall order of business."
-Buckminster Fuller
"In my
lectures throughout this nation, and in my appearances on many
radio and television programs, I have sounded the toxin that the
Federal Reserve System is not Federal; it has no reserves; and
it is not a system at all, but rather, a criminal syndicate."
–Eustace Mullins
"Most
Americans have no real understanding of the operation of the
international money lenders. The accounts of the Federal Reserve
System have never been audited. It operates outside the control
of Congress and manipulates the credit of the United States."
-Sen. Barry Goldwater (Rep. AZ)
For those that
have a hard time fathoming the absolute power of the Fed over
our government, please consider this arrogant response from
Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan when asked by PBS news
anchor Jim Lehrer about what should be the proper relationship
between the Fed Chairman and the President of the United States.
“Well,
first of all, the Federal Reserve is an independent agency, and
that means basically that there is no other agency of government
which can overrule actions that we take. So long as that is in
place and there is no evidence that the administration or the
Congress or anybody else is requesting that we do things other
than what we think is the appropriate thing, then, what the
relationships are don’t frankly matter.” –Alan Greenspan,
Federal Reserve Chairman
The opposition to the Federal Reserve is also
well noted by former President John F. Kennedy who is said to
have wanted to break away from the Federal Reserve system. On
June 4th, 1963, President Kennedy signed into law presidential
Executive Order number 11110, which amended Executive order
10289 of September 19th, 1951. Executive Order 11110 was said to
give the treasury the power to create and issue currency,
without having to go through the privately owned Federal Reserve
Bank. The Treasury Department was given the new authority to
issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or
standard silver dollars within the Treasury. Kennedy was
assassinated only five months later.
Kennedy’s
sentiment regarding the Federal Reserve still echoes to this
very day. Brave Congressmen such as Dennis Kucinich (D) and Ron
Paul (R), both from opposite sides of the political spectrum,
are very much opposed to the Federal Reserve System scam on the
American people.
After the
economic collapse of 2008, an American groundswell began, asking
for an audit of the Federal Reserve for the first time ever in
its history. The movement continued to grow and still has much
solid support to back it, however, the distraction of the Gulf
oil spill gave the media the perfect excuse to drop the story
altogether, getting the public to become apathetic to the cause,
or lose interest altogether.
The Fascist Coup of
1934
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the bonus
army and General Smedley D. Butler.
The Council on Foreign Relations became very
prominent in government and politics during the FDR
administration, holding the following positions: Secretary of
State, Assistant Secretary of State, Secretary of War, and maybe
most importantly, Treasury Secretary.
"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a
financial element in the large centers has owned the government
of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson."
-President Franklin D. Roosevelt [letter dated November 21,
1933]
Another of
Colonel Edward M. House's plot lines from his novel was about to
come into play.
After their
resounding success with the formation of the Federal Reserve
System, the wealthy elite were reported to take their treason to
a whole new level, with a heinous crime more egregious than
their first. Just as before, select ultra-rich American families
conspired together to instigate yet another coup against the
United States government, but this time it was to be a total
overthrow, an armed revolution against a sitting president,
Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Many of the rich were said to be
furious over the New Deal and the notion that the lower classes
might be lifted up from the servitude that the upper class had
forced Americans into. They were unhappy with what they
perceived as the socialist reform of the U.S. and a
redistribution of its wealth. (Sound familiar with the current
economic collapse?)
While Roosevelt's new deal may not have been
liked by many of the wealthy, it was a boon for the elite
bankers who were able to able to loan money at a profitable
interest. It was a win-win for the banking families, such as the
JP Morgan banks, run now by JP Morgan Jr. Those who
orchestrated
the crash could now profit heavily from it.
Roosevelt was not exactly popular with all
Americans. His presidency is a bit more convoluted than most
realize. Again, the victors are
writing, or re-writing, the history. Roosevelt's family was
reported to be heavily invested in New York banking since the
1800s. Roosevelt also certainly had influence from his uncle
Frederic Delano, who was the first vice-chairman of the Federal
Reserve. He was also a noted Wall Street executive and was said to
sit on the board of directors for eleven corporations. So
Roosevelt was no rube when it came to the Federal Reserve and
its cartel of wealthy elite owners.
In fact, despite the New Deal, Roosevelt
helped to put a final nail in the coffin of this country's
national sovereignty by listening to the Fed cartel and taking
the U.S. off the gold standard, opening the door to national
debt and runaway inflation.
Many of the insiders from the
money elite moved from the Wilson administration and were
heavily involved in the FDR administration, such as Bernard
Baruch and the infamous
Colonel Edward M. House.
It was through the Baruch proposed National
Recovery Administration in 1930 that many of the key money
insiders were allowed the power to regulate the economy. Baruch
protégé Hugh Johnson was appointed to oversee the NRA.
Johnson was assisted by CFR member Gerard Swope and together
they had the power to regulate wages, prices, and working
conditions. Herbert Herbert Hoover viewed these endeavors as nothing
more than pure fascism. According to Hoover, it was nothing more
than the reconstruction of Benito Mussolini's model for a
corporate state. Fortunately the U.S. Supreme Court later handed
down a ruling that the National Recovery Administration was
unconstitutional.
Nevertheless,
despite his ties to big money, FDR had his biggest detractors
there.
For nearly four years you have
had an Administration which instead of twirling its thumbs has
rolled up its sleeves. We will keep our sleeves rolled up.
We had to struggle with the
old enemies of peace—business and financial monopoly,
speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism,
war profiteering.
They had begun to consider the
Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own
affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just
as dangerous as Government by organized mob.
Never before in all our
history have these forces been so united against one candidate
as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me—and
I welcome their hatred.
I should like to have it said
of my first Administration that in it the forces of selfishness
and of lust for power met their match. I should like to have it
said of my second Administration that in it these forces met
their master.
The American people know from
a four-year record that today there is only one entrance to the
White House—by the front door. Since March 4, 1933, there has
been only one pass-key to the White House. I have carried that
key in my pocket. It is there tonight. So long as I am
President, it will remain in my pocket.
Those who used to have
pass-keys are not happy. Some of them are desperate. --Franklin Delano Roosevelt
A
cabal of the rich elite formed together to conspire against FDR
and our
government. Among those implicated in the treasonous coup were
the DuPont, Remington and Bush families, executives of Goodyear
Tire, General Motors, US Steel, and once again, the JP Morgan
empire. Since the prominent wealthy elite were in on the coup,
one can only surmise that FDR had angered them in some
fashion, possibly going along with part of their plan, but not
the whole plan.
An emissary
was set up as a go-between, to buffer the wealthy from the
physical machinations of the plot. Gerald
C. MacGuire, a bond salesman for a prominent Wall Street broker,
Grayson MP Murphy, was selected as the puppet to implement the
daily execution of the plan.
The
orchestration of the plot was to use the “bonus army,” a 500,000
man militia of disgruntled WWI veterans who had marched on
Washington DC over grievances with the payment of bonuses due to
them from the war. All that was needed was to find a charismatic
military leader to martial them together against FDR and force
him from the White House. The coup leaders originally wanted
General Douglas MacArthur, but he was already used to help bust
up the encampments of the bonus army, driving them from
Washington by force. So the group settled on retired General
Smedley D. Butler, who had originally visited the bonus army
encampment, showing support for their efforts. The plotters
thought he would be a good choice because he was well liked and
very popular with the soldiers, but also because he had become
an outspoken critic of government and its use of the military,
claiming that his service was nothing more than a racketeer to
protect corporate overseas financial interests.
What the wealthy plotters underestimated was the devout
patriotism of Butler, a self professed Republican, but one who
would eventually stand against their coup in defense of the
Democrat Roosevelt.
In
1933, Butler was approached by Gerald C. MacGuire and William
Doyle, in an attempt to get him to run for the post of American
Legion Commander, an initial step towards commandeering a
veterans army to move against Roosevelt. After meeting with the
two men, Butler declined the invitation.
Butler was later approached many times afterwards by MacGuire,
who claimed to represent the Committee
for a Sound Dollar.
MacGuire tried to entice Butler into the coup during
several meetings with him, flashing enormous sums of money while
telling of powerful financial backers. MacGuire tried to coerce
Butler into appearing before the American Legion convention that
year, to read a speech that was written for him by
John W
Davis, a senior attorney for JP Morgan & company. Butler
was enraged, but kept his sentiments to himself, instead playing
along with MacGuire in order to learn more about those behind
the plot. After several meetings, Butler demanded to meet one of
the principal backers.
Wealthy millionaire and Singer sewing machine heir Robert
Sterling Clark, an ex-army vet who served under Butler during
the boxer rebellion in China, was sent to visit the retired
general, to try and persuade him to join in the plot.
Clark told
Butler that he would gladly spend half of his fortune to save
the other half. He wanted Butler to address the American Legion
convention in regards to Roosevelt policies, however, Butler
refused.
In further
conversations with MacGuire, Butler
was said to have told MacGuire, “If you get these 500,000
soldiers advocating anything smelling of fascism, I am going to
get 500,000 more and lick the hell out of you, and we will have
a real war right at home."
MacGuire told Butler that soon a new group would be forming, one
that would confront Roosevelt while supporting Butler. The
American Liberty League soon came into being, the wealthiest
lobbying group this country had ever known. It was comprised of
extremely wealthy conservative members, as well as some very
prominent wealthy Democrats, with major funding from the DuPont
family. Herbert Hoover refused to join the new group, saying
that their Wall Street model of liberty was not for him.
The group included John
J. Raskob a member of the DuPont Board of Directors Executive
Committee and also the former chairman of the Democratic party,
Al Smith, former NY Governor and 1928 presidential candidate,
John W. Davis, presidential candidate in 1924, Grayson Murphy,
Robert S. Clark, Irenee Dupont, and EF Hutton, to name but just
a few.
Arms for the
movement would come from the Remington arms company, of which
DuPont had a controlling interest. The Remingtons were also said
to be intimately involved in the plot as well.
Butler was eventually able to coerce MacGuire into talking to
a former serviceman under his command
during the war, newspaper journalist Paul Comly French,
under the ruse that French would write supportive articles for
the coup, to influence the American public. MacGuire opened up
even more to French, thinking that he would disseminate
propaganda that would aid the coup. He advocated a fascist
government and said they might consider keeping FDR as a
figurehead, much the same way Mussolini did with the king of
Italy. He said funding would come from the JP Morgan banking
empire,
French
eventually broke the story in the
Philadelphia Record newspaper and the New York Post. The New
York Times also picked up the story, but interestingly enough
the JP Morgan influenced paper tried to dissuade the public from
believing Butler and French, calling the entire plot, nothing
more than a hoax.
A
special Congressional commission was created to investigate the
coup, the 1934 McCormack-Dickstein committee, led by John
W. McCormack of Massachusetts and Samuel Dickstein of New York.
Dickstein had feared that the far right might come to
power in the U.S.
The American
Liberty League tried to discredit Butler, but the Congressional
committee believed Butler, saying that they were able to verify
all pertinent statements made by him.
MacGuire
denied studying European fascist veterans organizations to the
committee, but early letters to Clark implicated him, actually
referencing a coup d’ etat.
The
Special Committee on Un-American Activities indeed found much
evidence of a coup, but mysteriously failed to call one single
member of the elite families that were fingered in the testimony
from Butler and French. The committee gave a weak excuse of
hearsay and refused to bring the wealthy backers before
the commission.
Many wealthy
Republican families were said to be intimately involved and were
willing financial backers, yet the McCormack-Dickstein committee
allowed them all to go scot-free. Some have speculated that FDR
also allowed the guilty to go unprosecuted in order to utilize a
new found political leverage to push through his reforms in the
New Deal. Some have even speculated that the guilty were allowed
to go free because the committee thought that such a revelation
might be too damaging and unsettling for the country, or
because most Americans would find such a domestic cabal of the
country's elite and wealthy
simply too unbelievable to fathom.
Butler claimed that the committee had expunged
the official record, omitting the wealthy elite who were
fingered in the investigation. He later went on WCAU radio in
Philadelphia and broadcast the following comments. "Like most
committees it has slaughtered the little and allowed the big to
escape. The big shots weren't even called to testify. They were
all mentioned in the testimony. Why was all mention of these
names suppressed from the testimony?"
MacCormack
said he didn’t know why nothing ever came of the investigation.
As for Dickstein, he said that he thought it was up to DOJ.
Whatever the
reasons, it is an undeniable fact and a historical matter of
Congressional record that the McCormack-Dickstein committee did
indeed find solid evidence of an organized fascist coup to
overthrow FDR and the U.S. government.
Once the plot
was revealed, the Liberty League officially disbanded in 1936,
after only two years of operation, with it perpetrators pulling
back into the shadows to await another opportunity to advance
the cause of fascism for the extreme far right in the U.S.
Conveniently
enough for the guilty plotters, MacGuire died of alleged
natural causes, at the young age of only 37, coincidentally just
one month after the final report was sent to Congress.
In a 1937
campaign speech, FDR excoriated those involved, saying, “With
the privileged princes of these new economic dynasties thirsting
for power (they) reached out for control of our government
itself.”
Butler later ended up opposing FDR over the U.S. entry into
WWII, saying that American soldiers should no longer fight
abroad, but instead remain home to defend only against a
domestic attack.
Butler died shortly thereafter of pancreatic cancer, on June 21st,
1940.
You are free
to openly wonder in amazement as to why all of this didn't make
our school text books, but keep in mind the famous Churchill
quote, "the victor always writes the history." When you
realize that these ultra-rich Americans owned our publishing
houses and newspapers, you can perhaps understand how this story
has been stricken from the history books.
Some have suggested that had the plot succeeded, perhaps the
U.S. would have aligned with the fascist regimes of Hitler and
Mussolini instead of the allies, providing possibly an entirely
different outcome for WWII.
An Integral Coup Component: Takeover Of
The U.S. Media
The most
common argument that arises from those in disbelief as to how
such a coup could go unnoticed by the American people is,
“Well why hasn’t the media said anything about it?”
To be quite
fair, some lesser known media outlets and publications have
reported on it, over and over, ad nauseam, however, it is the
larger media outlets that have drowned out the truth with their
fervent denials, or through their outright refusal to even
address the issue at all. To understand why or how something
like this could happen, you must have an in-depth knowledge of
the American media and its hierarchy.
First and
foremost, the media is an extremely invaluable tool used to
beguile an unsuspecting and naïve, if not blindly ignorant
populace. To repeat what was already mentioned in the opening of
this article, the most important premise to understand is that
the only way to usurp a free society is to fool the people. The
only way to fool the people is to steal their media. The way to
steal their media is quite simply to buy it. This is exactly
what has happened.
Some
in the media have been more than willing to admit their
complicity.
“There is no such thing, at this date of the
world’s history, in America, as an independent press. You know
it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write
your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that
it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my
honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of
you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you
who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out
on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest
opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four
hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the
journalists is to destroy the truth; to lie outright; to
pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell
his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I
know it and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We
are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are
the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our
talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of
other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.”-John
Swinton, former managing editor, The New York Times (and
New York Sun)
How did the watchdog of our Constitutional freedoms arrive at
this sorry state?
The first
portion of the plot began in 1915 with the direction from JP Morgan
Jr. Once again Morgan interests
were at the forefront of another plot when he hired twelve of
the top news managers to help him determine the most influential
newspapers in America. The idea was to find the key news
institutions that other news outlets looked to and were thus
influenced by. (This is documented by Congressman Oscar Callaway
in the official U.S. Record,
volume 54, dated February 9, 1917.)
Once the
editors arrived at a consensus, Morgan then bought or
infiltrated the top 25 news organizations reported to him by his
task force of news managers. An editor was assigned to run each
paper, making sure that all news stories were controlled and
that the watchdog for freedom was officially castrated.
This was a key
step towards total information and
news control in the United States, giving birth to
censorship, disinformation and propaganda. The guardian of our
forefather's dream of Constitutional freedom has been deeply
wounded.
As Thomas
Jefferson once said, “The man who reads nothing at all is
better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.”
Operation
Mockingbird
Years later,
in 1948,
the CIA would take that
media control a step farther by recruiting naive, self
proclaimed patriotic reporters to aid in their efforts, as well
as installing their own people within the nation's mainstream
corporate press. This project was known as "Operation
Mockingbird," the name alone was suggestive of the mission's
objective, total control of the U.S. media system. Many might
naively scoff at such an idea, until perhaps they hear it
straight from the horse's mouth.
According to
former CIA Director William Colby, "The CIA owns everyone of
any significance in the major media."
If
that quote alone isn’t enough to raise a “Spock eyebrow” for
some, then please consider this gem from another former CIA
Director, William Casey, “We'll know our disinformation
program is complete when everything the American public believes
is false.”
There are two surefire methods of recruitment for
Operation Mockingbird. One method is through blind patriotism,
recruiting those willing to report whatever they are told
because it is said to be a National Security matter, or in the
best interests of the United States. Others they just bribe, for
the ultimate mole, someone who is willing to print absolutely
anything, true or not, for the simple price of money.
Many
broadcast dignitaries were lured to the cause of Operation
Mockingbird, including such venerable icons as Walter Lippmann, Edward R. Murrow,
Walter Cronkite, to name but just a few out of hundreds of
broadcasters and noted journalists.
In the case of Lippmann, he was considered by
some to be the Dean of American Journalism. He was also the
editor of a US propaganda unit, and the Secretary of "The
Inquiry," a quasi-intelligence agency. He knew both sides of
the cover.
The CIA took media manipulation to new heights of disinformation
and propaganda, while pushing journalistic integrity to new
lows.
One thing the CIA understands well is that
information is as good as gold, and he who controls information
can use that data for political gain, power and wealth. With
that premise in mind, the CIA began a project in the late 1940s
known as “Operation Mockingbird.” The program was originally
under the direction of Frank Wisner, an undercover State
Department official who was assigned to the Foreign Service to
propagate disinformation in Europe through his Office of Policy
Coordination.
It was Wisner who took under his wing a former
graduate of the Army Intelligence School, Philip Graham, who was
the publisher of the Washington Post. Along with Allen Dulles
and Richard Helms, they undertook the genesis of “Operation
Mockingbird,” a covert project to infiltrate the American press
for the efforts of disinformation and propaganda on domestic
soil. They were able to coerce many media members under the
guise of “national interests” and patriotic efforts during the
early stages of the cold war. Hundreds of reporters, editors and
publishers were said to be involved and overseen by then CIA
Director Dulles.
FOIA documents were eventually uncovered that
showed CIA agents openly bragging through interoffice memos that
the agency had in place "important assets" within every major
news organization in the U.S. In 1982, the CIA finally admitted
to employing reporters on their payroll.
A great many of our
hallowed media outlets are alleged to be involved with Project
Mockingbird. They are rumored to include, ABC, CBS, and NBC.
Other publications said to be involved are Time magazine,
Newsweek, Fortune magazine, Business Week, the New York Times,
Washington Post, LA Times, New York Post, Denver Post,
Minneapolis StarTribune, Gannett/USA Today, Knight-Ridder
newspapers, the Associated Press, United Press International
(UPI), Reuters, Hearst Newspapers, Scripps-Howard, and Copley
News Service, not to mention over 400 journalists who have been
used for numerous assignments, all according to released FOIA
documents.
Many
publishing institutions are also rumored to be involved, such as
Simon & Schuster, McGraw-Hill, Random House, Doubleday, Harper
Bros., Viking Press, and also Book of the Month Club.
Washington Post reporter
Carl Bernstein was reportedly once told,
"One journalist is worth twenty agents."
The CIA policy is to use and manipulate these
“assets” in order to plant disinformation in the U.S., the same
way they have done for years overseas through their Office of
Strategic Influence. The problem is, it is apparently
sanctioned by Congress for them to do so abroad, but expressly
illegal to do so domestically.
All of the above once
again echoes back to the infamous quote from Churchill on the
victor writing the history. It’s easy to see how this could come
to fruition when the publishing houses have the power to refuse
or accept what actually gets published.
The project did not stop
there, but eventually infiltrated Corporate America, as well as
many major U.S. universities. The chokehold on America was
complete.
The American
media furthers the agenda of Operation Mockingbird by simply
avoiding stories altogether that are meant to be kept from the
public, or else mixes some truth with blatant
misinformation to purposefully muddy the facts.
Many books have been written on the subject of
Operation Mockingbird:
The CIA and the Cult of
Intelligence
Who Controls
the Media? The Subversion of the Free Press by the CIA,
The Depraved Spies and Moguls of the CIA's Operation
Mockingbird

Government: CIA Mind Control Operations in America
For those that don't believe the CIA would
recruit news reporters and media elites, check their new recent
recruitment of Wall Street executives. The following excerpt is
from a July 12, 2009 article in The Times of London:
CIA hires
Wall Street talent
The Sunday Times – July 12, 2009
THE CIA is taking advantage of the financial meltdown to recruit
a new generation of financially literate spies with a series of
job ads targeting Wall Street workers.
Economics has always been an area of interest for the CIA, and
former senior agent David Gordon said financial knowledge had
come to the fore during the global crisis. Since February, the
CIA has been producing a daily economic intelligence briefing
for President Obama in addition to his regular intelligence
reports.
“Economics, finance and business professionals — if the quest
for the bottom line is just not enough for you, the Central
Intelligence Agency has a mission like no other,” one radio
advertisement says. “Join CIA’s directorate of intelligence and
be a part of our global mission as an economic or financial
analyst. Make a difference in your career and for your nation.”
As you can see, the ad is not only a personal
egocentric tug, but also a patriotic enticement, designed to
play on the weakest human character traits. This is exactly how
the agency recruits media personnel, by playing on national
service and making the recruit feel as if they’re a special part
of a grander moral endeavor. The patriotic allure of national
pride, as well as the ego serving conjured glamour of being a
spy are powerful tools to attract both the weak and the
arrogant. Many myopically join for the personal thrill, but also
the perceived noble call to duty.
The agency
has reached far beyond its organizational boundaries through
kidnappings, drug running, terrorist activities, assassinations
and government toppling. It has essentially become the
antithesis of what is portrayed in its charter. For many, the
CIA has indeed become the greatest evil of this world,
arrogantly flaunting its power while exercising no moral
restraint in achieving its own self prescribed goals. Operation
Mockingbird is arguably their most powerful tool as it is the
veil that shrouds their heinous misdeeds and covers their
abuses.
Make no mistake about it, Operation Mockingbird is indeed alive
and still operating as our media continues to mislead the public
on everything and anything that those pulling the strings wish
their puppets to sell to us. Whether it be the numerous
unreported incongruities of 9/11, the illegal wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq, the orchestrated economic collapse, or the
diversion of the gulf oil spill, the media has not told us
anything close to the truth. But as the X-Files was famous for
pointing out, “The truth is out there.” All we need to do
is look.
It's truly sad
when you realize that some of the worst organizations on the
face of the earth are the intelligence operations that were set
up specifically to protect us and our country. The U.S. alphabet
agencies are among the most notorious and nefarious of all. The
term alphabet agencies refers to those government
acronyms of U.S. intelligence, such as the OSS, NSA, FBI, NGIA and
most infamous of all, the CIA, to name but just a few.
The CIA sprang forth from the OSS, the Office of Strategic
Services, an organization whose formation was promoted by
Prescott Bush, with assistance from the notorious Dulles
brothers, attorneys for the Rockefeller empire, not to mention
direct cousins of the family.
Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg once stated
that, "The Dulles brothers were traitors." Some
have speculated that Allen Dulles became the head of the CIA in
order to cover up the treasonous activities of himself and his
clients.
The CIA has been under CFR
control almost continuously since its creation, starting with
Allen Dulles, one of the founding members of the CFR, along with
brother John Foster Dulles, relatives to JP Morgan.
The CIA is not an
organization of truly evil people. Let's make that clear from
the start. Like the other aforementioned intelligence units, and
our own government, there are hundreds upon hundreds of solid
character individuals with the best of intentions and moral
fortitude, all with a genuine desire to serve their country with
every respect for the law and human rights for all.
There are obviously some people
who differ with this assessment, thinking the utter worst of
these outfits, our government, and those in their employ, but
this author would disagree with this viewpoint wholeheartedly.
To believe that every single employee of our government, or
operative of these intel organizations, is corrupt, is simply
not possible, given the immense volume of people involved,
however, like any large organization there are always a few
bad apples that fall from the tree. It is these individuals who
have given such organizations the poor image and reputation that
they have been labeled with by a great many.
With that said, it is indeed a
select rogue few who have caused much damage to our government
and these intelligence agencies, marring history with illegal
political assassinations, government coup d'etats, and untold
numbers of brutal civilian murders, all in the name of alleged
U.S. national interests, more perverse than they are
patriotic.
One horrid example is the CIA's
1953 overthrow of the democratically elected leader of Iran,
Mohammad Mossadegh. He took his country's oil back from British
Petroleum and Standard Oil, (Rockefellers) nationalizing his
country's oil industry. So we murdered the guy and put our
puppet in place, the infamous Shah of Iran. This was "Operation
Ajax." The Shah was a a brutal dictator, put in place by the
U.S., with Britain's blessing. The Shah governed the Iranian
people with an iron fist, brutalizing his own people who would
resist him. This of course eventually led to the Iran hostage
crisis. A vicious circle indeed.
Most every tin-pot dictator in
this world has come from the CIA, from Shah Mohammad Reza
Pahlavi, to Noriega, Batista, Cordova, Diem, Franco, Marcos,
Botha, Saddam Hussein, etc, etc, etc. Add Harmid Karzai
to that list now in Afghanistan as well. The wide reach of U.S.
alphabet intelligence agencies, particularly the CIA, has
brought about much harm in this world, all in the name of
"national interests," which, according to General Smedley D.
Butler, generally reflected
corporate interests, or big money from the wealthy elite.
More often than not, as
indicated by Butler, these indiscretions of power have been for
corporate espionage or support of the ruling wealthy elite. This
abuse of power has indeed created a most regrettable and
unshakable tainted global image for the CIA as the most evil
organization the world has ever known.
Originally developed as a
necessary international "intelligence gathering"
operation, the CIA has become infamous for clandestine activity
reaching far beyond the scope of its original charter. We can
only hope that those from within who are not involved in the
nefarious side of this organization are taking note and giving a
helpful hand, whenever and wherever possible, to counter their
rogue brethren. We sorely need their help badly.
Many politicians, even
Presidents, have talked openly of the Central Intelligence
Agency and their disdain for its noted criminal operations
throughout the world.
"I never would have
agreed to the formulation of the Central Intelligence Agency
back in '47, if I had known it would become the American
Gestapo." -Harry S Truman (1961)
After the failed Bay of Pigs
assault on Cuba, CIA head Allen Dulles was said to be infuriated
with Kennedy's refusal to go along with the plan. Likewise,
Kennedy was said to have remarked that he wished to "break
the CIA into a million pieces and cast it into the wind."
Much has been rumored about
possible CIA involvement in Kennedy's assassination, with none
other than
George Bush Sr. being briefed on the hit. Bush denies that
it was indeed him that was briefed, instead pointing to another
agent coincidentally having the exact same name within
the organization.
To this day we still have
many dire warnings remarking on the evils of the CIA. Take this
recent comment from Republican Congressman Ron Paul...
"There's
been a coup, have you heard? It's the CIA coup. The CIA runs
everything, they run the military. They're the ones who are over
there lobbing missiles and bombs on countries. ... And of course
the CIA is every bit as secretive as the Federal Reserve. ...
And yet think of the harm they have done since they were
established [after] World War II. They are a government unto
themselves. They're in businesses, in drug businesses, they take
out dictators ... We need to take out the CIA." -Congressman
Ron Paul
Again, not
everyone within our alphabet intelligence agencies are bad
people, however it is clear that there are those who have taken
advantage and criminal license of the power of their
affiliation, for purposes far beyond the organizations original
stated charter.
Not only do we
have the alphabet agencies, we have the Secret Service to think
about as well. Created by Abraham Lincoln in 1865, they would be
a force to consider since it is under their watch that we have
lost four sitting presidents to assassination, plus a presidential
contender in RFK. Their record is certainly less than
impeccable.
Of all the
aforementioned, the hands down least trusted has to be the CIA.
Again, there are many good people working for the
agency and we desperately need their help, but it is an
unscrupulous faction of bad agents that have sullied their
reputation in many ways.
Operation
Mockingbird, mass population mind control, drug running, and the
toppling of international governments seems to be a prominent
agenda of this rogue faction from within. As you will soon read,
buying into broadcast ownership also became a high priority for
some.
A Brief History of Broadcasting In
America
Soon it wasn't enough to
just own the voices of the media. To obtain total
control, the entire media had to be purchased and consolidated.
The biggest fish of all at the time was television, the darling
of everyday American life. Before the advent of cable and then
satellite programming, television was dominated by three major
networks, NBC, CBS and ABC. All three television networks
originally began as radio networks.
NBC began operations in
1926, owned by RCA and shareholder Westinghouse, along with
General Electric. The new company eventually moved to
Rockefeller Center in 1933, along with RCA owned RKO Pictures,
in a deal arranged by new landlord John D. Rockefeller Jr.
At the time, NBC dominated
the airwaves with its "Blue" and "Red" networks, but the newly
created Federal Communications Commission of 1934 ruled later in
1939 that NBC held a monopoly over the airwaves and forced NBC
to break up its blue and red networks. The blue network was sold
and became ABC.
RCA and NBC were the first
to broadcast via television at the 1939-1940 World's Fair in New
York. Much to the annoyance of the wealthy elite who had
previously tried to overthrow his administration, Franklin
Delano Roosevelt was the first U.S. president to appear on
television while at the fair on April 30, 1939. The first home
television sets were actually offered in 1938 so that viewers
could be ready in time for the World's Fair broadcast.
RCA and NBC scored another
coup as they were able to convince the FCC to approve its color
system as the new standard for color TV, beating out rivals CBS
and DuMont in December of 1953.
General Electric (GE), a
major defense contractor, acquired full ownership of NBC in
1986, but decided in 1987 to sell off its radio properties to
Westwood One.
In 2009, Comcast agreed to
purchase NBC from General Electric.
CBS was originally Chicago
based "United Independent Broadcasters" network, formed on
January 21st, 1927 and owned in part by the Columbia
Phonographic Manufacturing Company, owners of Columbia Records.
UIB didn't even make it
through the year, with Columbia selling the network on September
25, for $500,000 to
William S. Paley, a hard right-wing
heir of a Philadelphia cigar manufacturer. Paley changed the
corporate name to CBS, the "Columbia Broadcasting System". Paley
was alleged to be part of Project Mockingbird.
In the early 1940s CBS
created "Network of the Americas" and "Voice of America." CBS
eventually made its venture into television in 1950.
CBS was sold in 1995 to
Westinghouse Electric, another major defense contractor, for
$5.4 billion dollars, but in 1999 a subsidiary company, Viacom,
announced it was taking over CBS for $37 billion. With the
takeover, Viacom became the second-largest media company in the
world. Viacom just happens to be owned by Summer
Redstone, a strong force within the conservative far-right and a
veteran with a WWII intelligence background and alleged ties to
the OSS and later the CIA.
Surprisingly enough though,
in 2005 Viacom split in two, with CBS becoming the CBS
Corporation, while Viacom went with Paramount Pictures.
The only thing
that didn't change was that both companies were still owned by
Summer Redstone and his company, National Amusements.
This is another network with
alleged CIA affiliation. In a move that shocked the media
industry ABC was bought in 1985 by CapCities, a company four
times smaller than the network Goliath, and one rumored to be a
CIA front organization. CapCities had the help of
multi-billionaire Warren Buffet in the surprise purchase.
CapCities originally was
Hudson Valley Broadcasting, which began after WWII in 1947. It
has been reported that in 1954 William Casey, along with veteran
broadcaster Lowell Thomas bought HVB. Thomas was said to be a
close friend and business partner of CIA Director Allen Dulles.
One other partner was Thomas Dewey, another alleged CIA member.
William Casey would of course go on to become CIA Director under
Ronald Reagan.
Needless to say, the
reported CIA connections to this network powerhouse should be of
concern to anyone who values freedom of the press and accuracy
in news reporting.
Of all the media subversion
and manipulation over the years, none might arguably be more
threatening than the FOX Network, owned by Australian
multi-billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch, the owner and CEO
of NewsCorp. Previous FCC rules restricted foreign ownership of
U.S. media for the simple reason of political indoctrination.
The idea was to protect the public airwaves from foreign
propaganda and disinformation that might unsettle American
values and our ideology of a free republic.
FOX somewhat snuck in the
back door to American broadcasting in many ways. In March of
1985 Murdoch's News Corp paid $250-million dollars for a 50%
share of 20th Century Fox movie studio. Two months later News
Corp coughed up $1.55-billion dollars for independent TV
stations in six major markets. Later that year, in October, 20th
Century Fox announced that it would enter the network business
with a challenge to the big three, ABC, CBS, and NBC. Murdoch
paid $325-million dollars to purchase the remaining shares of
20th Century Fox studios.
That same year Fox was
accused of not informing the FCC about the extent of its foreign
ownership, but somehow was allowed to continue on with its plan
for a 4th U.S. television network.
Murdoch and NewsCorp also
drew extreme opposition in 2003 to its merger and takeover of
DirecTV, but once again The FOX company was able to sidestep the
complaints while under a favorable Bush administration and the
Michael Powell (R) led FCC.
FOX was able to succeed
where others failed, skirting FCC regulations by programming
just barely under the required number of hours to be considered
a network. FOX broadcasts just two hours of prime time weeknight
programming compared to three hours for ABC, CBS and NBC. This
allowed Murdoch and FOX to tip-toe around the network
requirements of the FCC.
One of the more controversial moves was naming
Roger Ailes, former Republican media strategist for Nixon,
Reagan and George HW Bush, as the president of the FOX News
Channel and chairman of the FOX Television Stations. The biggest
criticism of FOX News is that, even though its motto is
undeservedly "Fair and Balanced," the news department is
anything but, leaning decisively to not just the conservative
right, but the extreme far right.
Not only has FOX been routinely criticized for
its political news bias, it has continually drawn the ire of the
PTC (Parents Television Council), being named for the "Worst TV
Show of the Week" more than any other network.
In addition to his NewsCorp, FOX and DirecTV
holdings, Murdoch has a
vast worldwide media empire that includes satellite TV,
cable, newspaper, magazine and internet holdings that make him a
media baron to be feared and reconciled with. Murdoch also owns
Dow Jones as well as managing the assets of Hughes Electronics.
This Ted Turner news organization was founded
in 1980, quickly growing to become a global giant in the news
industry and is seen in over 212 countries with a daily audience
estimated at 1-billion people worldwide. Turner lost control of
CNN after a takeover from Time-Warner in 1996. Turner has since
admitted that he regretted allowing the merger with then
AOL-Time-Warner.
To Kill A Mockingbird
Over the years, it became
increasingly apparent to many observers of the CIA's effort to
control the media through Operation Mockingbird. The biggest blow
to the project came in 1974 when
two ex-CIA agents,
John D. Marks and
Victor Marchetti published a
book entitled "The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence"
(ISBN
0440203368). The book opened the door for many
questions following the expose on
Project Mockingbird. Public scrutiny of the CIA hit a new
high and struck a responsive cord among many Americans,
including quite a few on Capitol Hill.
Concerned over the possible
infiltration of the CIA into the U.S. media, the Senate began an
investigation under the Church Committee, the United States
Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with
Respect to Intelligence Activities.
The
Church Committee in 1975 revealed even more on Operation
Mockingbird.
The final 1976 report stated, "The CIA currently maintains a
network of several hundred foreign individuals around the world
who provide intelligence for the CIA and at times attempt to
influence opinion through the use of covert propaganda. These
individuals provide the CIA with direct access to a large number
of newspapers and periodicals, scores of press services and news
agencies, radio and television stations, commercial book
publishers, and other foreign media outlets." Senator Frank
Church (D-ID) testified that the expense of disinformation had
cost American taxpayers an estimated $265 million a year. That
number has grown exponentially since the 70s.
The Church report found that “over a
thousand books were produced, subsidized or sponsored by the CIA
before the end of 1967”.
Church quoted from a document which was written
by the Chief of the Covert Action Staff on how the CIA executed
its operation.
“Get books published or distributed abroad
without revealing any U.S. influence, by covertly subsidizing
foreign publicans or booksellers.”
The report also stated that they would
“get books published for operational reasons, regardless of
commercial viability”.
Church quoted Thomas H. Karamessines as saying,
“If you plant an article in some paper
overseas, and it is a hard-hitting article, or a revelation,
there is no way of guaranteeing that it is not going to be
picked up and published by the Associated Press in this
country.”
For all that was uncovered,
the commission was stopped in its tracks by none other than CIA
Directors William Colby (73-76) and George HW Bush (76-77). The
report from Frank Church's committee was said to have been
deliberately buried, including all mention of CapCities' acquisition
of ABC.
Learning To Use The Power of The Media
CBS' William Paley was in
later years linked to the CIA's Operation Mockingbird, so
perhaps it's not surprising that his network was chosen to be
one of the forerunners for an alleged secret intelligence
project in the late 1930s, possibly linked to U.S. Naval
intelligence, since the OSS, and ensuing CIA were not yet in
existence. The Mercury Theatre broadcast of "The War of the
Worlds" on October 30th, 1938 was rumored to be a test to
study the psychological effect of fear based conditioning on a
mass population.
The adaptation of H.G.
Wells' classic alien invasion tale, performed by Orson Welles,
was broadcast as if it were actual breaking news, with realistic
bulletins. An estimated six million people heard the broadcast,
with nearly two million actually believing that the Earth was
being invaded by Martians. Hundreds of thousands were reported
to have become hysterical and panic stricken, fleeing
immediately to escape the imaginary invasion. Many missed the
broadcast disclaimer saying that it was all nothing more than a
Halloween prank. This obviously angered many, with furious
feedback for CBS, but it did catch the attention of some for
further analytical study.
What followed after was a
Rockefeller funded study from psychologist Hadley Cantril,
titled, "The Invasion from Mars: A Study in the Psychology of
Panic."
Conveniently, the research focused directly on the media
power of influencing the human animal through fear based
programming. Coincidentally enough, one of the people involved
in the project was CBS executive Frank Stanton, also a member of
the infamous CFR (Council On Foreign Relations). Stanton would
later go on to undertake research efforts on mass brainwashing,
as the chairman of the board for the Rand Corporation.
As for Cantril, he accepted more Rockefeller
money two years later when he founded the Office of Public
Opinion Research (OPOR), at Princeton University. While
there he later helped conduct research on the effectiveness of
"psycho-political operations" for the Office of Strategic
Services (OSS), the predecessor of the Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA). In short, he helped study the effectiveness of
propaganda
During Word War II, he once again used
Rockefeller money to study Nazi propaganda in an effort to
employ the Nazi techniques to bolster the OSS propaganda
program. From this came the Foreign Broadcast Intelligence
Service (FBIS) which later became the United States Information
Agency (USIA), the propaganda arm of the NSC (National Security
Council).
Coupled with the research amassed from Edward
Bernays' studies of the human subconscious and his 1928 book
"Propaganda," the research from Cantril and others after him
was now readily available for the exploitation of the new age
of electronic media.
The Orchestrated Takeover of the Media
Like its print and radio cousins, the United
States television industry has been bought out and consolidated.
The beloved
Reagan Administration was the evil behind the 1988 deregulation
of our media. It was under Reagan and Bush Sr., that the genesis
for media monopolization began. They also did away with the
Fairness Doctrine, Federal requirements that governed our
political debates, equal time, and the personal attack rule.
This essentially made it easier for the right to lie and spread
political propaganda without fear of accountability or
retaliation.
The advent of
the 1980s Reagan-era deregulation, along with recent commission
rulings of the 90s and new millennium, has allowed a select
group of major corporations to now purchase a domineering
control of mass media throughout the country, bringing about a
dangerous and unprecedented far right influence over the
American media. The FCC was allowed to scrap broadcast ownership
limitations, allowing dangerous monopolies that the law was
originally intended to prevent. Under the new ruling, broadcast
owners were able to freely sell their licenses as
commodities, with no longer any regard for the public trust.
The Reagan
deregulation of our media has arguably been the death knell for
our highly revered republic. Our watchdog of democracy has, as a
result, been taken from us. The license to broadcast used to
always be held in the "public interest." Sadly, that is
no longer the case. It is now in the "corporate interest,"
with an undeniable financial bottom line which governs its
direction and purpose. Before deregulation, a broadcast licensee
was made to hold their license in the first term for a minimum
of five years and then for every renewal afterwards, a duration
of three years, whether the license holder was making a profit
or losing their shirt entirely. It was for the "public good."
What we have
now is what this author refers to as "Century-21
broadcasting," for you can now buy a media outlet and
immediately turn around the next minute and hang a for sale sign
on that license, with the sole interest of nothing more than
profit, with no longer any regard for the public interest. This
is what has allowed our broadcast media to now be boiled down to
a mere six corporations. SIX corporations! A mere half dozen
CEOs tell us all what news is, and conversely, what news isn’t.
THE EIGHT YEAR TAKEOVER OF THE US
MEDIA
All it took to seize total US media
control was money and 8 years time.
From 50 large media companies to just six in eight years.

"The gathering of more and more outlets under
one owner clearly can be an impediment to a free and independent
press." Former CBS News anchorman Walter Cronkite
Aside from the
loss of varied and distinctive viewpoints that are now missing
from our society, we have also greatly diminished our ability to
safeguard our republic and the freedoms for which it was
intended. With no one asking the tough questions, who is
actually protecting our rights and our Constitution anymore?
Once
deregulation was allowed, the plan for the takeover of the U.S.
was finally able to accelerate by having big money buy up and
consolidate all of the American media.
One huge winner was Clear Channel
Communications, owned by George W. Bush buddy Tom Hicks. Since
the
Telecommunications Act of 1996,
Hicks' company has been able to buy up 1,200 radio stations
across the United States, in many markets giving him an unfair
monopoly. This was something expressly forbidden under the
original FCC charter due to the danger of ideological
indoctrination and a diminishing opposing viewpoint available to
the public.
The
deregulation of the protector of our Constitution is often
called by many now as “short sided thinking,” one with dire
consequences for our republic, but others challenge that it was
a very calculated step towards the orchestrated take over of our
media.
The Reagan-era
deregulation of broadcasting brought about media consolidation
to the point where news and information in our country is now
able to be controlled. Sadly for our nation, our media ownership
has dropped from 50 major ownership organizations in 1983 to
just six groups today. That’s a very dangerous precedent for
the vaunted protector of our Constitution. Each of these media
giants is also a multi-BILLION dollar enterprise with numerous
media outlets in their fold. (TV, radio, newspapers, movies,
etc.)
Taking over
the media is a necessary phase in toppling a government “by
the people” because it is an invaluable tool in shaping the
public’s opinion. Our overly credulous acceptance of the news as
gospel should punctuate easily enough why people fell for the
Iraq 9/11 connection. Even though President Bush II later
admitted publicly that Iraq had no ties, one third of Americans
still believe the Iraq lie. That is the all powerful persuasion
of the media. (Being a lemming helps too.)
Rupert Murdoch
says that the remaining six corporations controlling our media
will eventually be pared down to just three and he fully expects
to be one of the three left standing. That’s a very scary
thought for those that know the truth about FOX News. For those
that have been in the industry, FOX News, or Faux News as it is
often called, is nothing more than a conservative political tool
that cares less about telling the truth than it does pushing far
right political ideology and a conservative fascist agenda for
the New World Order.
The current media of the United States is
controlled by a mere half dozen men. Those six individuals have total
control over what you see and how your news and information in the world
is shaped and presented to you. See for yourself in the following
table.

Six major corporations now own all of the U.S.
media. Everything you watch is from one of them.
This conglomeration of media has a very
dangerous concrete affect on media coverage.
With six companies
in charge of our current media, including two that are defense
contractors, it is now all too easy to propagandize and
manipulate the people through the press. Until people give up
their longstanding, naivefaith in
our corporate news media, they will never find their way out of
oppression, nor ever know the real truth.
“If media moguls control media content and
media distribution, then they have a lock on the extent and
range of diverse views and information. That kind of grip on
commercial and political power is potentially dangerous for any
democracy.” -Chuck Lewis, Executive Director of the Centre
for Public Integrity
With the media unified now under
consolidated corporate ownership, literally in lock-step with
each other, it’s much easier to propagandize with
disinformation, such as the infamous 9/11 link to Iraq, or
non-existent weapons of mass destruction to encourage our entry
into an oil war.
Today's media has become nothing
more than a propaganda and disinformation tool for political party
rhetoric and government exploitation. Aside from that, it has become
sensationalized with an eye towards ratings, instead of hard journalism
and critical reporting. Celebrity gossip receives more press and airtime
than buried truths.
Right
Wing Talkers
Right behind our
hallowed "boob tube" would be radio, specifically
right-wing talk radio. The advent of the deregulation of radio
by the Reagan-Bush administration brought about the one thing
expressly prohibited by the FCC, market monopolization. It is
now possible for one owner to buy up not only an entire market,
but an entire region. This brings about the inherent danger that
was feared early on by the FCC, the pushing of radical or
extreme political ideology across a broad area of the
population. This has become especially prolific now through the
syndication of extreme right-wing programs, such as Rush
Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and many
others. Inflammatory talkers such as these are making it onto
more and more stations, mainly due to the newly relaxed
ownership rules of deregulation.
With ownership
groups now controlling so many stations, they are free to
populate their broadcast programming with ideology that may not
be comfortable to many listeners, but because of the "Asch
Effect," people start thinking that perhaps this radical
thinking is the norm and that they are the ones that may be out
of line with society. People begin to conform because they want
to be perceived as part of the cultural norm.
The deregulation of
radio and the relaxation of the once stringent ownership rules
has become a significant impedance for our forefathers vision of
our republic.
Media Used Against
Us
When George W. Bush took control of the
Presidency, he made numerous attempts to develop a specific
office for domestic information dissemination. Call it
disinformation, propaganda, or both, the one thing you cannot
call it is news.
Congress
voted down the use of a domestic disinformation program many
times under the Bush administration, yet the bill kept
continually resurfacing under different language, but with the
same expressed intent as the previously defeated bills.
Since
when have we ever needed a formal publicly acknowledged
government agency to aid in the direction and dissemination of
news in the United States? Journalists are to help safeguard our
republic, not defame or jeopardize it. Our news organizations
are to protect us from bad government, not be in bed with it.
A popular tactic
nowadays is the use of so-called "expert" guest commentators in
the guise of news analysts. These are the same people who are
used weekly, if not daily, to add their alleged “expert” opinion
and analysis, telling Americans what they
should believe. Their main mantra being, anything less than
their opinion is pure hogwash and political rhetoric. Have you
ever asked yourself how these same so-called analysts can be
experts at everything? The simple answer is, they aren't. They
are merely given talking points to persuade the public into a
line of thinking that those controlling the situation would like
you to believe.
The
Bush-Cheney administration went so far as to further exploit the
media through the use of retired military analysts and
ex-officials to sell their post-9/11 war agenda to the American
public on numerous news programs, even though many of the
officials had vested interests with financial gain in selling
false wars to a naïve public.
According to the Center for Public
Integrity and its affiliated group, the Fund for Independence in
Journalism,
“President
Bush and his top aides publicly made 935 false statements about
the security risk posed by Iraq in the two years following
September 11, 2001.” Over
900 lies and our media was incapable of finding the truth?
Seriously?
Our media was used against us to sell the blatant lie(s) that
Saddam had weapons of mass destruction (WMD), foregoing their
duty as investigative reporters and fact checkers, even though
our own government sources such, as UN inspector Hans Blix,
reported to the contrary. Even more dubiously, the Bush
administration removed Blix from his task in Iraq and then tried
to feebly claim that he was thrown out of the country by the
Iraqis.
Ambassador Joe Wilson went so far as to testify that the
Bush-Cheney administration manipulated intelligence, if not
manufactured false evidence, in an effort to sell war to the
American people and the international community, a story largely
ignored by our media as it chose to focus instead on his ousted
CIA wife, Valerie Plame.
We
were even sold the biggest lie of all, that Saddam had much to
do with the 9/11 attacks, a bogus claim that has since been
admitted to be false by both Bush and Cheney, but a great
portion of Americans never saw that admission as the media never
ran the real truth incessantly, as it did the original lie.
These so-called professional analysts were used
over 4500 times in the media, as part of a massive
disinformation and propaganda campaign against an unsuspecting
and most gullible public.
Even though his father claimed that journalists would no longer be paid
by the CIA, Bush Jr., was caught red handed employing several reporters to
push his agenda in the mainstream corporate media.
Armstrong Williams was paid $240,000 to push Bush's no child left behind
agenda, a bill which actually was the antithesis of what it was sold as with
the American public.
Syndicated columnist Maggie Gallagher was also bribed to push the Bush
agenda. Gallagher was paid $21,500 by Health and Human Services (HHS) to
peddle the White House's $300 million initiative to encourage marriage.
Mike McManus received $53,000, also to promote marriage (to unwed couples
who are having children) through his non-profit agency Marriage Savers.
McManus had boosted the Bush marriage initiative in his column on several
occasions since he began receiving government money in 2003.
These are but a few examples where our government was caught manipulating
public opinion, but the greater point would be, how many other instances was
it not caught, and for what larger political purpose? What greater agendas
have been pushed through the use of
Operation Mockingbird?
Disinformation Is
Control
As discussed previously, the
control of information is a vital key to controlling people.
We are essentially what we know. If our source of knowledge
is corrupt, then our foundation for understanding the world
around us is jaded and corrupted as well. Those in positions of
power understand this all to well and they use our media against
us every single day, 365 days a year, to influence us and
control us.
Media is a powerful tool. It is a
dangerous tool when exploited by those with agendas working
against us all.
If you take issue with this, then please consider
the following.
According to a Government Accountability Office
(GAO) report, the Bush-Cheney administration spent $1.6 billion
dollars of our taxpayer money on
PR contracts with advertising agencies, 137 firms to be
exact. More than likely the total is hundreds of millions more,
as the initial figures were only over a two-and-a-half year
period, prior to 2006. The outrageousness of it all is that our
government spent our hard earned tax paid dollars to spin us
their version of the truth. We are essentially paying to be lied
to.
And to be perfectly
non-partisan, it isn't just one political party. They both
lie to us.
Even when it is
not being purposefully manipulated, it has been watered down to
the point where journalists have lost sight of their purpose, to
ask the hard questions and demand straight truthful answers.
In an
OpEd News interview conducted by Rob Kall, veteran journalist and former
New York Times reporter Chris Hedges summed up the media this way when asked
about the depth of questioning by reporters:
"Well, I think first we have to understand that the media has evolved.
Certainly, during the trajectory of my own professional life as a
journalist.
The print media is dying -- is anemic. Television no longer makes any
serious attempt to report news in the sense that a traditional journalist
would understand it. We are diverted by trivia, gossip, celebrity scandal,
whether that is revolved around a lunatic fringe figure that want to burn
Korans, or Tiger Woods' sexual escapades, or John Edwards' meltdown. There
are these constant narratives that dominate the news cycles and make it
impossible for those of us who care about actually reporting news and
investigating serious issues to even find a place any more.
I spent the last fifteen years of my life as a journalist with the New York
Times, which I think attempts to retain those values of news gathering. When
you talk about the traditional media -- what's left of it -- they lie, the
commercial media, but they are primarily lies of omission. It's what they
don't tell you, it's not what they do tell you. It's what they leave out.
And they leave it out for a reason. They leave it out in the name of
objectivity. They leave it out in the name of impartiality because it would
anger the power elite."
Hedges went even further, stating, "Most
people receive their information passively. They rely on roughly a half
dozen corporations: Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, Disney, Viacom, General
Electric, (etc) who control almost everything Americans watch, see, listen
to, or read. And that's what's so dangerous.
For those of us who seek out independent sources of information, the
internet is a valuable tool, but I think most people use the internet to
reinforce their own belief systems. They retreat into intellectual ghettos
where verifiable fact is irrelevant. Anything that bolsters their own world
view or their own opinions is accepted as true. And that's very dangerous.
It is part of the deterioration of a print-based society and by that I mean,
a society where reporters report fact, investigate. Editors edit fact, and
that you work to put out information that, while it may be incomplete, and
while there may be things you leave out, at least is basically trustworthy.
And that is -- as print dies, as print is replaced by an image-based
culture, we essentially have a culture where we confuse knowledge with how
we are made to feel. And that really, if you read great philosophers like
Hannah Arendt is the definition of a totalitarian system. So I think we're
in the midst of a huge cultural shift, which is extremely detrimental for
those of us who value the sanctity of truth, and believe that truth is a
possibility. We live in a culture where opinion and fact are
interchangeable. Where lies have become true, where people believe only what
they want to believe. And that's exceedingly dangerous, because it's very
hard to penetrate."
Hedges then hits upon a most salient point with regards to today's dumbed
down corporate media:
"But essentially -- the electronic media, which only cares about rating,
attracting viewers and attracting of course, most importantly corporate
advertisers, have jettisoned the news for trash, junk, tabloid-like garbage.
And you know, as soon as this one blows over, they'll find another one."
Hedges is completely right.
The media has not only been manipulated from the top down, it has also been
turned inside out, with actual news content forsaken for trash journalism.
With that, far too much deference has also been given to corporate sponsors
and the
big money that they represent.
So what truths do we really
know? We certainly aren't getting it from Washington, nor our
pathetic excuse for a news media.
The Most Powerful Tool: The Brainwash Box
The television has scientifically documented
brainwashing abilities.
The worst of all media is
probably the
one common appliance in each and every home, the television,
the so-called wonder of the 20th century, referred to by this
author as the brainwashing box. As a society, we place
far too much faith in television, and because of that misguided
faith we are losing our Constitutional freedoms to
corporatism, a 21st century word for old fashioned
fascism.
Television is a medium with literal
mind numbing properties, yet most have no clue of the
interaction that takes place between the brain and television.
Contrarily, there are others who have known for quite some time,
and they have done their best to exploit the technology to serve
their own agenda.
One of the most
highly nominated films in recent history, the 1976 film
"Network," dealt with the virtues and impact of television
on people, as well as the often unscrupulous and immoral
intentions of those behind the scenes who control it. The film
received ten nominations, including best picture, while winning
four Oscars for best screenplay writing, actor, actress and
supporting actress.
“The only truth you know is what you get over this tube. Right
now, there is a whole... an entire generation, that never knew
anything that didn't come out of this tube. This tube is the
gospel, the ultimate revelation. This tube can make or break
presidents, popes, prime ministers; this tube is the most
awesome goddam force in the whole godless world, and woe is us
if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people."
"And when
the 12th largest company in
the world
controls the most awesome goddam propaganda force in the whole
godless world who knows what shit we'll be pedaling for truth on
this network. So you listen to me, listen to me...television is
not the truth. Television is a goddamned amusement park.
Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of
acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, sideshow
freaks, lion tamers, and football players. We're in the boredom
killing business. So if you want the truth, go to God. Go to
your gurus. Go to yourselves. But man, you're never going to get
any truth from us. We'll tell you anything you want to hear.
We'll lie like hell."
"We’ll tell you any shit you want to hear. We deal in illusions
man. None of it is true. But you people sit there day after day,
night after night, all ages, colors, creeds, we're all you know.
You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here.
You're beginning to believe your own lives are unreal. You do
whatever the tube tells you. You dress like the tube. You eat
like the tube. You raise your children like the tube. You even
think like the tube. This is mass madness, you maniacs. In God's
name, you people are the real thing, we are the illusion. So
turn off your television set. Turn them off now. Turn them off
right now. Turn them off and leave them off. Turn them off right
in the middle of the sentence that I'm speaking to you now. Turn
them off!”
As it turn out, the 1976 movie was in
actuality parroting actual conclusive data from a television
research study done only seven years prior. Data we should all
be aware of.
In November of 1969, researcher Herbert
Krugman wanted to further explore the research of Canadian
professor and communication theorist Herbert Marshall McLuhan.
The work of McLuhan had come to be regarded as
the cornerstone of media theory, a study on the influence of
communication and mass media.
Professor McLuhan was fascinated with the intrinsic effect of
communications media, unrelated to its content. It was McLuhan
who first coined the term,
"the medium is the message," which
he wrote about in his 1964 book, "Understanding Media: The
Extensions of Man." McLuhan had also done earlier work,
accepting a two-year grant from the Ford Foundation in 1953 to
carry out communication research at the University of Toronto.
McLuhan was indeed considered a preeminent pioneer in the field.
So Krugman
undertook a study to measure the effects of television on
the human brain. With the help of his 22-year old secretary, he
taped an electrode to the back of her head, connecting it to a
Grass Model 7 Polygraph which was interfaced with a Honeywell
7600 computer and a CAT 400B computer.
After turning on the television Krugman
immediately discovered something very startling. Within
30-seconds his secretary's brain waves had switched from beta
waves to alpha waves. Beta waves indicate an alert conscious
attention span, while alpha waves represent an unfocused, yet
receptive lack of attention, similar to daydreaming. This
discovery was born out through repeated test trials.
Krugman then gave his secretary a magazine and
had her start to read. The cognizant beta waves suddenly
reappeared, showing a rejuvenated, alert, attentive brain
function.
One of the biggest surprises for Krugman was
how rapidly the alpha-state emerged.
According to Krugman, brain activity flips
from left to right while watching TV, from logical thought to
emotional thought. The brain's left hemisphere, the side known
for the logical and analytical processing of information, tunes
out while the person is watching television, allowing the right
hemisphere of the brain, which controls emotional response, to
function unimpeded by logic. Krugman discovered that the higher
brain activity of the neo-cortex decreases while watching TV.
Conversely, lower brain activity, the limbic system, increases.
During this process, it is reported that
endorphins are released which are thought to be like natural
opiates, essentially making it possible to become addicted to
television.
The limbic system is referred to as the
"reptile brain" and is related to primitive mental processing,
the inability to distinguish reality from fantasy. The work of
Edward Bernays dealt specifically with this unconscious level of
brain function. The unconscious level is what leaves us
susceptible to commercial and subliminal programming.
In his findings Krugman wrote, "It appears
that the mode of response to television is more or less constant
and very different from the response to print. That is, the
basic electrical response of the brain is clearly to the medium
and not to content difference.... (Television is) a
communication medium that effortlessly transmits huge quantities
of information not thought about at the time of exposure."
It didn't take long for ad agencies,
corporations and intelligence operations to undertake their own
research into the reaction of television on the human brain.
The key phrase in Krugman's findings was that
TV "transmits huge quantities of information not
thought about at the time of exposure."
Krugman noted in his landmark findings,
"We do not consciously or rationally attend to the material
resonating with our unconscious depths at the time of
transmission. Later, however, when we encounter a store display,
or a real-life situation like one in an ad, or a name on a
ballot that conjures up our television experience of the
candidate, a wealth of associations is triggered. Schwartz
explains: 'The function of a display in the store is to recall
the consumer's experience of the product in the commercial....
You don't ask for a product: The product asks for you! That is,
a person's recall of a commercial is evoked by the product
itself, visible on a shelf or island display, interacting with
the stored data in his brain.' Just as in Julian Jaynes' ancient
cultures, where the internally heard speech of the gods was
prompted by props like the corpse of a chieftain or a statue,
so, too, our internalized media echoes are triggered by
products, props, or situations in the environment."
It should be noted that Mr. Krugman later
became manager of public-opinion research at General Electric.
(Owner of NBC television, as well as being a large defense
contractor.)
The early research of McLuhan, along with the
later follow-up from Krugman, should be regarded as not only a
significant warning regarding the use of television, but also
it's inherent dangers as well.
"As real-life experience is increasingly
replaced by the mediated 'experience' of television-viewing, it
becomes easy for politicians and market-researchers of all sorts
to rely on a base of mediated mass experience that can be evoked
by appropriate triggers. The TV 'world' becomes a
self-fulfilling prophecy: the mass mind takes shape, its
participants acting according to media-derived impulses and
believing them to be their own personal volition arising out of
their own desires and needs. In such a situation, whoever
controls the screen controls the future, the past, and the
present." -Joyce Nelson, The Perfect
Machine
Television programs and news broadcasts are
programmed to reach us much the same way commercials do. News
programs and propaganda attempt to play on our emotions, with
fear, compassion, sorrow and anger acting as principle
right-brain motivators.
When it comes to news or entertainment
programming, physical attraction is a natural psychological
trigger for trust. Humorous and charismatic figures also affect
us in much the same way. It's all about trust and our comfort
level with the subject that allows us to lower our mental guard
and psychological defensive barriers.
Few among us are able to think past their
emotional reptilian right brain and rationally reason with their
left brain. Those trying to influence our minds know this all
too well.
Oftentimes news programs disingenuously expose
us to horrific atrocities to motivate us through fear. Whether
it's war, or terrorist events such as 9/11 or 7/7, the bulk of
people are rendered emotionally helpless, thus seeking authority
figures to offer strength and solutions to make them feel safe
again.
The invention of television is viewed by many
as the most wonderful entertainment and information invention of
the 20th century, but for others, it is the ultimate tool for
disinformation and control of mass populations.
Another extremely disturbing threat from
broadcast television is a December 16, 1997 incident in Japan
where hundreds of children suddenly had physically sickening
reactions while watching the cartoon Pokemon, episode #
38.
Twenty minutes into the broadcast there was a
scene with an exploding rocket that flashed red and blue lights
at a frequency rate of around 12 flashes per second. The scene
also contained a five second period where one of the central
characters, "Pikachu," started to flash lights from its
eyes. At that point viewers started having adverse reactions,
ranging from loss of consciousness, convulsions, seizures,
dizziness, headaches, nausea and blurred vision.
A total of 685 children (310 boys, 375 girls)
were taken by ambulance to the hospital. While many children
recovered during the ambulance trip, more than 150 of them had
to be admitted into the hospital. Two kids actually spent over
two weeks in the hospital because of the episode.
Many doctors and scientists think the children
suffered from "photosensitive seizures" triggered by the
flashing lights. They theorized that visual stimuli from the
flashing lights initiated an altered consciousness.
According to medical science, approximately 1
in 4000 children between 4-14 years old are susceptible to these
types of seizures, however, the large simultaneous number of
kids affected by this particular episode was an unprecedented
event.
Since then, doctors and medical researchers
have collaborated with Japanese television broadcasters in an
effort to find ways to make sure this never happens again. The
following guidelines for future animated programs were set
forth:
Flashing images, especially those with red,
should not flicker faster than three times per second. If the
image does not have red, it still should not flicker faster
than five times per second.
Flashing images should never be displayed
for more than two seconds.
Stripes, whorls and concentric circles
should not take up a large part of the TV screen.
This is yet another proven example of the
hidden power of television and its direct effects on the human
mind. Television is clearly not the benign instrument that we
have all been led to place our trust in.
Digital Danger
And now we are in the digital television age,
an era of new technology far superior in its capability to hide
and deliver low aural frequencies and new digital subliminal
messages. If the antiquated cathode ray tube technology of the
50s and 60s was able to alter the state of the human brain, then
what can we possibly expect, or fear, from the dawn of the
digital age?
Ask yourself this, since when has our
government ever been so concerned that we have the best toaster,
the best lawn mower, or the best stereo equipment for listening
to music? The question might sound ridiculous at face value, but
then you seriously need to reconsider why for the first time
ever in our technological history that an entire nation has been
mandated to make the switch to a new technology,
digital television. Since when has our government ever been
worried about how clear the picture was when we watched Bonanza,
MASH, or Seinfeld?
We've made technological advances before, AM
radio to FM, and even now to satellite radio. We've gone from
record players to CD players and now MP3 players as well, but
when has it ever been in the government interest to mandate that
we all make the switch to the new superior technology?
The national mandate to switch from standard
broadcast television to digital TV is indeed a curious
phenomenon, unmatched in our technological history. So why the
push for digital television? Is our government really concerned
that we get to watch "Dancing With The Stars" or
"American Idol" in a high-definition display format?
Seriously? Are they concerned so much that they would give out
nearly $2-billion dollars in coupons for digital receivers to
those that couldn't purchase them?
Perhaps now that you understand the premise of
the preceding chapter, the influence of an older antiquated
television technology and its effects on the human brain, you
might be interested to do some looking yourself into how much
effort has been spent on population mind control. Do a search
for MKULTRA, a long running CIA effort into the study of methods
and technology to influence and brainwash the human animal.
While you're at it, do a Google search for
SSSS, or Silent Sound Spread Spectrum, also known as
"subliminal
carrier technology." The Sound of Silence, nicknamed S-Quad or
"Squad,"was said
to be discovered as long ago as the 1950s, perfected in the 70s
and then put into limited field test operation in the 1990s.
Remember the first Gulf War and
the mass surrender of thousands of battle hardened Iraqi
soldiers and their elite Republican Guard during "Operation
Desert Storm?" They laid down their weapons and simply gave
up, just like that. No fight. No resistance. Just a meek and
fearful surrender. This wasn't reported as much in the American
press as it was the foreign press. Maybe because the testing of
this new non-lethal weaponry wasn't entirely meant for battle,
but rather for population crowd control. Once they knew it
worked, why endanger letting the secret out anymore than it
already had? Why wasn't it used during the latest Iraq War if it
was to be a military offensive weapon?
The Sound of Silence was
reportedly developed for military use by
Dr. Oliver Lowery of
Norcross, Georgia. The technology is documented in US Patent #
5,159,703: “Silent Subliminal Presentation System” for
commercial use in 1992. According to the patent abstract:
“A silent communications system in which
non-aural carriers, in the very low (ELF) or very high
audio-frequency (VHF) range or in the adjacent ultrasonic
frequency spectrum are amplitude – or frequency- modulated with
the desired intelligence and propagated acoustically or
vibrationally, for inducement in to the brain, typically through
the use of loudspeakers, earphones, or piezoelectric
transducers. The modulated carriers may be transmitted directly
in real time or may be conveniently recorded and stored on
mechanical, magnetic, or optical media for delayed or repeated
transmission to the listener.”
Essentially, this new technology has the
ability to implant thoughts, emotions, and even dictated actions
into unsuspecting human beings. Yeah, that's pretty scary stuff
in the wrong hands of those hell-bent on world domination.
Another frightening aspect of digital TV is
that it has so many lines of resolution now, easily able to hide
and clandestinely bury subliminal visual cues and signals to
affect subconscious behavior. This isn't the old days of
splicing one frame of a "Coke ad" into the movie theater film.
We are entering a very dangerous era of technology that could
hold grave implications for humanity if placed into the wrong
hands.
And now that we have digital television,
we're moving fast to 3D, a whole new can of worms is opening
up for us to worry about in regards to mass population mind
control. Indeed, the days of Orwell are here.
Not everyone in the media is out to use
television against us, but unfortunately there are too many
documented adverse mental reactions and significant behavioral
side effects associated with its use for us to ignore. Couple
that with an extremely well funded, nefarious segment of society
that appears more than willing to exploit these detrimental
human effects to gain control over us, and the public truly has
something to think about when it comes to a condensed and
tightly controlled media, owned by greed based corporations and
a select few of the ultra-wealthy elite.
Influencing Our Consent
With help from the CIA and Project MKULTRA,
brainwashing has become a documented human science.
We saw the herding of America
through the media immediately after 9/11 by those who shamelessly exploited a
horrible national disaster for a jaded political ideology and new imperialism.
The far right manipulated the people of America with the greatest tool of all,
fear.
Many people simply do not know how
easily they can be influenced. The art of persuasion has become a formidable
science that few understand, let alone know anything about. The science of
marketing and the art of spin have become king. The saying "perception is
reality" has become the new dogma of marketing, and it is, for all intents
and purposes, quite true.
It all started with Sigmund Freud's
work of the unconscious mind. Freud had some revolutionary ideas on how the
human animal thinks and what motivates us all, however, it was his unscrupulous
nephew, Edward Bernays, who took his famous uncle's theories and applied them
for commercial gain (no pun intended).
Bernays (1891-1995) and Ivy Lee
(1877-1934) are both arguably the co-fathers of
today's modern day marketing. Though their work was separate, they both figured
out how to directly
coerce people. Lee, employed by the Rockefellers, understood the power of
perception and the need for public relations early on, but it was Bernays who
would immerse the industry into a study of the human subconscious, using the
techniques and teachings of his famous uncle Sigmund Freud. Out of Bernays' work
would come modern day advertising, marketing, and public relations.
The PR business has become a
$200-billion per year industry, with the number of PR people sadly outnumbering
journalists in today's burgeoning world. Spin is in.
Bernays was the first to combine the theories of his uncle,
along with those of Gustave Le Bon (crowd psychology) and also Wilfred Trotter
(herd mentality), as well as the works of Ivan Pavlov (classical conditioning),
to form powerful precepts for manipulating the human subconscious. What Bernays
discovered was a direct link to the human subconscious. It was a Eureka moment
in psychology; the mother lode for human mind control.
His revolutionary application of
these ideas became a powerful tool of public influence and persuasion, for
Bernays had learned how to reach peoples' subconscious desires. He triumphantly
claimed that it was possible to discern the desires and fears of others and then
use it for your own purposes.
Even though he wrote a book in 1928
called "Propaganda," Bernays opted instead to employ his own subtle
techniques by settling on a more publicly acceptable term for his discovery,
"public relations." It quickly became one of the most powerful psychological
and social tools in the history of mankind. Soon thereafter, governments,
intelligence organizations and politicians all adopted his concepts for their
own interests.
To this day, major media doesn't
make a move without first discerning the thoughts and perceptions of the masses,
through the use of individual research and focus groups.
We are all being subconsciously
affected with powerful advertising and marketing tools that many do not
understand. The work of Bernays has continued on and is used widely today, with
research people such as Frank Luntz and Clotaire Rapaille at the forefront of
this most persuasive and influential industry.
Even leaders are affected by
this subconscious tool, but followers are the easiest of all to
manipulate. By nature, leaders and followers are obvious contrary opposites.
Leaders are generally secure with themselves, strong, intelligent, educated and
informed, while followers tend to be somewhat insecure, weak, ignorant,
uneducated and uninformed.
Getting people to go along with a
particular ideology is not such a hard thing to do, especially when you target
subsets of followers. These followers end up being leaders in a sense due
to their overwhelming numbers when coalesced into a unified group.
For government officials,
politicians and social authority figures, it is a fairly easy undertaking to
gather a crowd of followers, even without Bernays' guiding principles of
persuasion.
In 1963, psychologist Stanley
Milgram published his breakthrough research, the "Behavioral study of
Obedience" and its relationship with authority. Milgram showed how people
were willing to listen to authority figures who would instruct them to perform
acts against others, even though those acts conflicted with their own personal
morals. Milgram concluded that people justified their immoral actions by
shifting the blame to the authority figure. In short, they claimed they were
following orders, or just doing their job.
Milgram stated,
"Ordinary people, simply doing their jobs, and without any particular
hostility on their part, can become agents in a terrible destructive process.
Moreover, even when the destructive effects of their work become patently clear,
and they are asked to carry out actions incompatible with fundamental standards
of morality, relatively few people have the resources needed to resist
authority."
It is not surprising at all that
Milgram was also an ardent admirer of the work of another noted psychologist,
Solomon Asch. It was Asch's experiments in the 1950s that dealt with group
conformity and its affect on the individual (the Solomon Asch experiments).
Asch proved that social group
pressure could make a person say or admit to something that was factually
incorrect. He would take a group of people and test one individual, with the
others in the group being in on the experiment. For the first couple tests, Asch
would ask them questions that were sure to elicit the same response from all.
For the third test, the members of the group who were in on the experiment would
all give the wrong answer. Even though the individual who was unknowingly being
tested knew the correct answer, they would also give the wrong answer, simply
because they did not want to be different from the group. They wanted to be
alike and conform with the group.
Asch found that 37% of the tested
subjects would conform in the critical trials with 75% conforming at least
once and 5% conforming every time. Only 25% of the tested subjects did not
conform on any trial.
One could surmise that those
conforming were followers, while the 25% that did not conform were more apt to
be leaders.
So people in general do seem to fall
into various categories and groups, with one subset able to be defined between
leaders and followers.
A big fan of both Le Bon and Bernays'
work was Adolph Hitler, as well as his Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels.
Hitler based much of his book Mein Kampf on the work of Le Bon, who was
considered a pioneer in the study of propaganda.
It was Goebbels who said, "The
bigger the lie, the more it is accepted.
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come
to believe it."
This is sadly true and is born out
in the Milgram experiments regarding obedience to authority. It is also due to
the fact that people find it too hard to believe that anyone could ever truly be
capable of such a tremendous and blatant lie. This mindset thus enables the lie.
Goebbels was also known for the following...
Propaganda must be planned and executed by only one authority.
Credibility alone must determine whether propaganda output should be true or
false.
Propaganda must label events and people with distinctive phrases or slogans.
Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the
targets for hatred.
Black rather than white propaganda may be employed when the latter is less
credible or produces undesirable effects.
To be perceived, propaganda must evoke the interest of an audience and must be
transmitted through an attention-getting communications medium.
Propaganda to the home front must create an optimum anxiety level.
It is clear that many of these
Goebbels precepts are alive and well to this very day.
Another historical quote, often
incorrectly attributed to President Abraham Lincoln was, "You can fool some
of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you
can't fool all of the people all of the time."
While Lincoln very well may have
used the quote, it originated from circus show master PT Barnum. Another
quote from Barnum carries considerable weight as well, "There's a sucker born
every minute."
It was another American President, George W. Bush, who twisted
Barnum's first quote in a fashion that was blatantly transparent and very
telling in regards to its intended usage. "You can fool some of the
people all the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on."
The Tool of Mass Control: The Focus Group
Americans would be shocked if they only knew how
easily they can be controlled and steered en masse.
Many people scoff at the notion that
individuals or entire populations can be influenced or controlled, but they
would be sadly mistaken because they have no understanding of the research tools
available to those who study the human animal. We are indeed far more
predictable than many would comfortably admit.
While television, radio and printed
press are the mediums for the dissemination of disinformation and propaganda,
the primary tool used against us all is the focus group.
To employ all of the psychological
tools outlined above, the focus group is a key research resource in ascertaining
the likes and dislikes of people. Originally used by big business, it has now
branched out to politicians and the media, in an effort to keep up or stay ahead
of social trends. The focus group, when done correctly, is a very powerful tool
in learning about the psychology of people, specifically groups of people.
A "focus group" is merely a
gathering of people, usually defined into specific subsets for study, often by
demographic targets or through social psychographics. The idea is to query these
groups with questions regarding matters important to not only them, but
particularly those leading the focus group.
By gathering specific demographics
or psychographics of people into a room together, researchers can ask questions
that focus on the model of personal behavior they are trying to understand and
influence. It works almost too well.
Focus groups have been used since
the 1930s. At first they were used for business and marketing efforts, but they
soon became an accepted and most preferred tool for government. It didn't take
long for intelligence agencies to see the huge benefit, but the first nefarious
foray into the field was from none other than Adolph Hitler. Soon after, the CIA
would become master of the craft, taking the field of social research to new
heights, or perhaps, in deference to humanity, new lows.
With the advent of radio and then
television, the focus group became gospel in determining the likes and dislikes
of mass audiences. It taught broadcasters how to target specific demographics
and psychographics and to employ narrow casting to specific preferred groups.
Today, not one move is made in
television or radio without the use of focus groups and research, giving
broadcasters a clearer picture as to whether they are indeed on target with
their programming. Like corporate big business, it isn't as much about pleasing
the consumer as it is about being cost effective and profitable with their
bottom line.
With big business and the media
reaping the benefits of perceptive research, it didn't take long for the
practice to find its way into politics. This gave politicians a decisive edge in
determining the likes and dislikes of potential voters and constituents. As in
the corporate world and the media, not one move is made in big politics without
the use of social research and focus groups. As mentioned
previously, people like Frank Luntz and his ilk have exploited the field for
personal gain, while enhancing the political prospects of their clients, whether
they're morally fit to serve or not.
By understanding what the target
thinks or feels about a particular product or a social issue, those employing
the research have an invaluable upper hand in addressing and dealing with
individuals or large groups of people. In a way, it's almost an unfair
advantage. Powerful techniques such as these make it possible for people to be
controlled and manipulated. It happens every single day.
Social research and focus groups are
one of the single biggest keys to addressing the likes and dislikes of a
society, but they are also undeniably one of the biggest evils.
Absolute
Power Corrupts Absolutely
As Mayer Amschel
Rothschild said,"Let me
issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the
laws."
It was certainly quite obvious what he meant by
that, but when a man of such enormous wealth believes as much,
you can bet that he also practices what he preaches. With
Rothschild and his American counterparts calling the shots
through their cartel of central banks, they literally have the
world on its knees before them.
Hopefully at this point you have an idea of what enormous wealth
can do, the immense power that it possesses, and the tremendous
danger that it brings when it is in the wrong hands. It’s no
wonder that Jesus once said, “It is easier for a camel to
pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter
into the kingdom of heaven.”
Another wise man once said, “All power tends to
corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are
almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not
authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or the
certainty of corruption by authority.”
–Lord Acton (John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton)
Why is it that when huge wealth comes to some
they divest themselves of humanity in the divulgence of false
supremacy? What is it about the ability to have it all, the
power to control your environment and immediate destiny, that
causes man to forsake good conscience and morality? How is it
that spiritual character is so easily replaced with arrogance
and the air of omnipotence? The old saying that money is the
root of all evil is a debatable premise. What seems apparent is
that devotion to money and the misuse of the power that
it brings are the most corruptible qualities of all.
“If money be not thy servant, it will be thy
master.”
-Sir Francis Bacon
"Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of
those who possess it"
– William Pitt, the Elder, The Earl of Chatham and British Prime
Minister (1766-1778)
Not
all persons of great wealth are evil or of moral inequity, but
as noted previously, those that are can bring much havoc to the
world in a short amount of time. Consider then what is possible
when persons of immense wealth and deficient character coalesce
together, united in a common purpose and cause. This is a
very scary thought and sadly enough one that has already come to
fruition.
While
cabals of the unscrupulous wealthy wield tremendous power, they
are still a minority and as such are subject to the scrutiny of
the majority. With this deterrent in mind, they do their
planning in secret, so as to avoid public judgment and the
judicial repercussions that would be imposed due to their
selfish greed-based actions.
As we
have clearly seen, such has been the case in recent history and
is still the course of deceit to this very day. The secrecy
surrounding the birth and ownership of the Federal Reserve, the
fascist coup against FDR, and the usurpation of our Constitution
through the stealing of our media, all are clear examples of the
danger that threatens society when great wealth coalesces
together in the shadows, for the sake of their own personal
agendas.
If the Federal Reserve was a
benign and beneficent entity that was to be under government
rule, why was its formation kept a secret from the press and the
public?
If Congress and the
McCormack-Dickstein committee indeed found solid evidence of a
coup to overthrow FDR, why was much of General Smedley Butler's
official testimony stricken from the Congressional record, along
with the names of the wealthy families who were directly
implicated in the attempted overthrow?
“Every
thing secret degenerates, even the administration of justice;
nothing is safe that does not show how it can bear discussion
and publicity.”
–Lord Acton (John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton)
“Truth
is the only merit that gives dignity and worth to history.”
–Lord Acton (John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton)
One thing seems very clear, the ultra-wealthy
of our nation have misused their power to usurp not only our
Republic and its Constitutional authority, but the very freedoms
that our forefathers fought and died for. The ultra-wealthy have
committed historical high crimes against the U.S. and its
people, for which they are all guilty of treason.
Beyond The Ballot Box: Organizations of
Control
The CFR, Trilateral Commission, and Bilderberg Group.
(BG logo taken from hotel, the same as the name)
Out
of these now well financed billionaire moguls has come the
creation of powerful groups that have not only worked to control
the domestic affairs of the United States, but also those of the
world.
Three
such entities are the Bilderberg Group, the Trilateral
Commission, and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the
super-three. The Bohemian Grove Society also plays a
planning role, albeit to a lesser extent of the larger trifecta.
These groups are formed to plan and perpetrate the nefarious
deeds of its members, while giving the guise of legitimate
institutions of government. These organizations set the agenda
which the international G-8 and G-20 then initiate into each
relative nation.
The
heat has been on the money-moguls for some time, so they have
shifted tactics by organizing these official sounding
consortiums to do their bidding. They task each of them with
their marching orders, but under the guise of bettering world
relations, while working steadfastly toward world peace, yet
history will show the exact opposite to be true. They have
failed at every level, not once preventing international
conflict or war. What they have done instead is to foster and
instigate international upheaval, with only their own goals of
financial prosperity in their sights.
History has shown that these groups have failed miserably at
their charter to promote peace and prevent warfare, but let's
just take a contemporary look at their more recent failures, for
the sake of truth and clarity.
How did they do in Kosovo? Milosevic was falsely sold as the
tyrant. It started with "ethnic cleansing," as in, get rid of
the opposition first and intimidate the rest of the populace
into submission. The end result was an economic corridor
of opportunity for the wealthy. Yugoslavia has since fallen in
line for the new world order.
So how did they do in Iraq? A falsely accused country was
horribly and brutally savaged in a campaign called "shock &
awe" by the U.S. and Britain, for not only oil interests,
but also to bring them in line for the New World Order. The
"shock & awe" part was nothing more than a perverted PR
campaign, a lesson to the rest of the middle east as to what
would happen to them if they should step out of line. There were
no weapons of mass destruction and the U.S. knew that
going in after they pulled U.N. inspector Hans Blix from the
country. Iraq had no ties to 9/11 either. All of this
admitted by G.W. Bush. Saddam was a CIA installed puppet and the
U.S. decided to cut his strings when he refused to continue
playing their game.
How about Afghanistan? Once again, the interests of the
powers that be lay in profits through a direct oil
and gas pipeline route, more convenient and less costly than
others. They have actually perpetuated the conflict by secretly
funding the Taliban, as they once did the Mujahideen. They bribe
the Taliban to join the NWO, or else keep getting their country
bombarded until they are completely destroyed, or they
capitulate.
The mindset of
those behind the New World Order is much like "The Borg"
from the popular Gene Roddenberry sci-fi program, Star Trek:
The next Generation. The intimidating motto is that
"resistance is futile," but as that program clearly showed,
even the most threatening and seemingly omnipotent of enemies
has an Achilles' heel to be exploited and conquered.
The eventual course in the middle east is to bring all of those
countries under their heel for the New World Order. As we've
seen openly suggested already, Iran will be next. Those
resisting will be smart-bombed,
invaded,
and conquered, unless of course they can outwit the
international elitists before they strike.
When looking historically, and even most recently, essentially
what we see from the big super-three organizations is an
abysmal failure on all fronts in the promotion of peace and the
prevention of warfare, although contrarily, it has been a
huge perverted success in making money for the ultra-wealthy
elite.
Gee, what a horrific profitable coincidence.
The
head of this cartel appears to be the super-secretive Bilderberg
Group, a cabal of the world's wealthiest and political elite. A
support wing of the Bilderberg Group is another highly secretive
group, the Bohemian Grove Society. The meeting discussions and
agendas of these two groups are kept from media dissemination to
the general public. Such an alliance is treason under U.S. law
and its Constitutionally appointed government of the people,
by the people and for the people. This irrefutably makes
these organizations Constitutionally illegal under U.S. law, for
they conspire together privately, in secret, without
the consent of the American people.
Not
surprisingly, J.P. Morgan just happened to be one of the
original forces behind the CFR, the Council on Foreign
Relations. Morgan it seems was a man, ironically enough for the
term itself, "hell bent" on using his vast wealth to
usurp and undo all the dreams and hard fought achievements of
our forefathers.
Admiral Chester Ward, a former CFR member once said,
"They control or own major newspapers, magazines, radio and
television networks," and "the most powerful companies in the
book publishing business."
Once
again, we're back to the Churchill quote about the victor
writing the history.
He also said,
"The most powerful cliques in these
elitist groups have one objective in common: they want to bring
about the surrender of the sovereignty and national independence
of the United States." -Admiral Chester Ward, 1975
This was a serious charge for
Ward to make, one that cannot in good conscience be discounted
out of hand. This was a person of military distinction, as well
as an admitted CFR member, not just a crazed lunatic off the
street. His comments are to be taken note of, for they echo
substantial evidence of related fact. To corroborate the
comments of Admiral Ward, we also have the following most
disturbing admission from none other than David Rockefeller
himself.
"We are
grateful to The Washington Post, the New York Times, Time
Magazine and other great publications whose directors have
attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion
for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to
develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the
lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now
more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world
government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual
elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national
auto-determination practiced in past centuries."
-David Rockefeller, Bilderberg Meeting, Baden-Baden Germany,
1991
It's
interesting that this quote ever made its way into the public
light. It is a horribly spectacular admission to make, but once
again, when you are ultra-wealthy, a mistaken sense of
superiority and omnipotence can oftentimes bring about an
arrogant candor.
So under Operation Mockingbird, American
journalists unwittingly helped to deceive the American public
under a misguided notion of patriotism, hiding the truth while
advancing a scheme of the ultra-wealthy elite. The proverbial
cat was out of the bag though in regards to Mockingbird and the
exploitation of the media. A new mechanism of media
disinformation was needed. The CFR has since proven to be that
next step of media manipulation.
The Council On Foreign Relations
The CFR is considered to be the nation's most
influential foreign-policy think tanks, but as you will see, it
is more than just that. It coincidentally got its start only
seven short years after the takeover of the U.S. monetary
system. It was simply the next step in a meticulously calculated
plan.
It began in 1921 under the guidance of, once
again, the JP Morgan empire, one of the driving forces in the
Federal Reserve cabal. Its headquarters were first established
in New York City, coinciding with the presence of JP Morgan Jr.,
and also the key office of the Federal Reserve. The CFR now also
has an office in Washington DC, for easy access to the seat of
our nation's power.
Allen Dulles joined the CFR in 1926, and would
eventually become its president. John Foster Dulles, a former
Woodrow Wilson's protégé, was Chairman of the Board of the
Rockefeller Foundation. We've already seen the positions of
power obtained by both.
Since that time nearly ALL presidential
candidates have been CFR members. except for President Harry
Truman, but he was advised by a group of six men who were CFR
members.
Since 1934, nearly every U.S. Secretary of
State has also been a CFR member, including all Secretaries of
War and Defense.
Noted Americans who were instrumental in
helping draft the charter for the United Nations in 1949 were
CFR members John Foster Dulles, Nelson Rockefeller and John
McCloy. It has been rumored that as many as 47 CFR members had a
hand in the final draft of the UN.
Billed today as "an
independent, nonpartisan membership organization, think tank,
and publisher," the CFR more recently has veiled itself as a
sort of social geo-political fraternity, self described
as a "membership organization."
"The Council on Foreign
Relations (CFR) is first and foremost a membership organization.
With more than 4,300 members, CFR's ranks include top government
officials, renowned scholars, business leaders, acclaimed
journalists, prominent attorneys, and a host of distinguished
nonprofit professionals. Members participate in meetings, panel
discussions, interviews, lectures, book clubs, and film
screenings to discuss and debate the major foreign policy issues
of our time. Members have unparalleled access to world leaders,
senior government officials, members of Congress, and prominent
thinkers. Included among CFR members are a group of term
members. Term members must be between the ages of thirty and
thirty-six, and term memberships are limited to five years."
Many intriguing observations and questions
come to mind over this public admission. First off, it is
noteworthy that those chosen are indeed influential figures with
an impact over both government, political and social domains.
Number two, the areas of discussion are also noteworthy, forming
a "focus group" of contemporary thought and its dissemination.
Third, that these members have unfettered access to world
leaders is also quite notable and most telling.
It is interesting that term members are not
chosen due to intellectual distinction, but rather by
age, a characteristic seemingly irrelevant, unless of course
you're interested in contemporary cultural icons of influence to
sway a younger populace.
CFR members must be native born or naturalized
U.S. citizens.
According to their website:
CFR members, including Brian Williams, Fareed Zakaria, Angelina
Jolie, Chuck Hagel, and Erin Burnett, explain why the Council on
Foreign Relations is an indispensable resource in a complex
world.
Perhaps indispensable "influence" is a
more appropriate term to describe its members.
Taking then in order, (1) an NBC network news
anchor, (2) a CNN analyst, columnist and Newsweek editor, (3) a
top movie actress and sex icon, (4) a former Senator, and (5) a
CNBC business anchor and reporter.
From just the brief glimpse that CFR itself
provides in their website introduction, it would appear that
Operation Mockingbird has been upgraded through the new CFR
fraternity of influence.
The official CFR
official roster of members can be obtained two ways on their
website:
The CFR has often been accused by many over
the years of working to usurp our Constitution and U.S.
sovereignty, in exchange for international rule, a new world
order, one that will be run by the wealthy elite and the large
powerful central banks.
Georgetown professor Dr. Carroll Quigley is
one of the few said to be allowed access to the documents of the
CFR. Upon examining these documents, Quigley, a mentor of Bill
Clinton, assessed their purpose as, "... nothing less than to
create a world system of financial control in private hands able
to dominate the political system of each country and the economy
of the world as a whole... controlled in a feudalist fashion by
the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret
agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and
conferences."
Most of the past presidential administrations
have been infiltrated with numerous CFR members, including up to
present day.
Another organization long accused of having
powerful, if not improper influence over U.S. and world
politics. The organization is the brainchild of none other than
ultra-wealthy David Rockefeller and
instituted by
Zbigniew Brzezinski.
The Trilateral Commission
consists of powerful leaders in business, banking, government,
and mass media from North America, Western Europe, and Japan.
David Rockefeller was founding chairman, and Brzezinski founding
director of the North American branch, most of whose members are
also in the CFR.
According to their own
statements, "The European Community, North America (US and
Canada), and Japan - the three main democratic industrialized
areas of the world - are the three sides of the Trilateral
Commission. The Commission’s members are about 325 distinguished
citizens, with a variety of leadership responsibilities, from
these three regions."
Many view this as just another
Rockefeller vehicle for the New World Order. It is most
interesting to note that Rockefeller is a significant key member
in each off the alleged New World Order organizations,
the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the Trilateral
Commission, the infamous Bilderberg Group, as well as the
Bohemian Grove Society. Forget the daily-double or the trifecta.
This guy is the cornerstone of the quad-squad for the New
World Order.
Like the CFR, the Trilateral Commission
understands the bad press and scrutiny they have been receiving
over the years, hence the pro-active approach with a public
website, to give the impression of an above board organization
with everything out in the open. Nothing could be further from
the truth with this organization. You can bet your last dollar
there is much kept in secret and not published on their
so-called public website. Nevertheless, here is the latest PR
spin from their site:
"The Commission was originally created in
1973 to bring together experienced leaders within the private
sector to discuss issues of global concern at a time when
communication and cooperation between Europe, North America, and
Asia were lacking. The Commission has grown since its early days
to include members from more countries in these regions, and it
continues to find that study and dialogue about the pressing
problems facing our planet remain as important today as in 1973.
Problems and threats have changed, but their importance has only
increased due to the more interconnected and interdependent
world in which we now live."
In a July 1977 article in the
Atlantic, Jeremiah Novak, had this to say:
‘The Trilateralists’ emphasis
on international economics is not entirely disinterested, for
the oil crisis forced many developing nations, with doubtful
repayment abilities, to borrow excessively. All told, private
multinational banks, particularly Rockefeller’s Chase Manhattan,
have loaned nearly $52 billion to developing countries. An
overhauled IMF would provide another source of credit for these
nations, and would take the big private banks off the hook. This
proposal is the cornerstone of the Trilateral plan.
Senator Barry Goldwater wrote in
his in his book "With No Apologies," that the Trilateral
Commission was ‘David Rockefeller’s newest international
cabal." Goldwater also stated, ‘It is intended to be the
vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial, and
banking interests by seizing control of the political government
of the United States.’
Wow. No mincing of words for Goldwater.
The Trilateral Commission even
put a man in the oval office, with Jimmy Carter being the first
member elected as president in 1976.
With that in mind, it is often
difficult to understand the "October Surprise" from the
Reagan-Bush team in 1980. An interesting time to switch horses
to the image icon, puppet Reagan, with ex-CIA Director George HW
Bush actually behind the scenes running the show (Iran-Contra,
CIA drug running, etc).
Probably the most nefarious of all, considered
by many to be the head, or upper echelon of the plot for a New
World Order is the highly secretive
Bilderberg Group, once again with the ultra-wealthy David
Rockefeller in a leading role.
The Bilderberg Group was formed in 1954 and
derives its name from the Bilderberg Hotel in Oosterbeek,
Holland, where the first meeting took place. The annual
Bilderberg conference is a highly secretive event by invitation
only, comprised of powerful and influential leaders from high
finance, banking, corporate business, politics, the military and
even very select members of the media.
According to a 1989 publicly released Bilderberg document,
"That (1954) pioneering meeting grew out of the
concern expressed by many leading citizens on both sides of the Atlantic
that Western Europe and North America were not working together as closely
as they should on matters of critical importance. It was felt that regular,
off-the-record discussions would help create a better understanding
of the complex forces and major trends affecting Western nations in the
difficult post-war period."
The operative word in that official
announcement is
"off-the-record discussions," as in secretive, or not for
public scrutiny. Attendees are not allowed to divulge the topics
or conversations discussed. With this in mind, it leads one to
believe that any select media members present are there
specifically for indoctrination on upcoming, future group
efforts, with spin control and disinformation as the primary
focus.
Bilderberg meetings are held in secure, remote
places. Those attending try to evade identification and are told
to leave aides, secretaries and spouses at home.
It is at these meetings that future political
leaders and members are said to be vetted, to assess their
abilities and loyalty to following the group's aims for a
New World Order.
A most interesting twist is that military
security is used for these private meetings, a notable point
which is highly suggestive, if not blatantly indicative, of the
tremendous influence and power that is wielded by this
super-secretive group. No private security force or hired thugs
with guns, but rather military power is employed to
protect these clandestine meetings. That in itself speaks
volumes about those wielding the power, but it also says a great
deal about the personal concerns of this secretive cabal. Such
extreme security measures suggest that this group indeed has its
own paranoid fear, and seemingly is not without its own enemies.

The Bohemian Grove Society
This California secret society is an exclusive
club of the powerful elite, most with ties to the Trilateral
Commission, the CFR and also the Bilderberg Group. Based in a
secluded 2,700 acre retreat in the Monte Rio Redwood forests of
Sonoma County, the powerful elite have met here every July since
1873, with the top figures of finance, government, politics, and
corporate business in attendance, very much the same as for the
aforementioned super-three secret power organizations.
High stakes international policy is discussed at the meetings,
but rumors of debauchery, sexual deviancy and occult ceremonies
have also followed this elite retreat for many years.
A significant feature of the grove is a
massive 40 foot concrete owl which symbolizes knowledge and is
also the backdrop for the occult-like
cremation of care ceremony where mock sacrifices are
said to take place.
The grove sits along River Road, between
interstate 101 and coastal highway 1. This author has witnessed
firsthand the numerous armored limousines making the trek
to the annual event. Political figures in attendance over the
years include
Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew
Brzezinski,George HW
Bush, Dick Cheney, Casper Weinberger, George Schultz, James
Baker, David Gergen, William F. Buckley Jr., Arnold
Schwarzenegger, as well as wealthy elite such as David
Rockefeller, Rupert Murdoch, and more than likely JP Morgan in
his day. It is a who's who of the power elite.
Consider this quote from Richard M. Nixon:
"If I were to choose the speech that gave
me the most pleasure and satisfaction in my political career, it
would be my Lakeside Speech at the Bohemian Grove in
July 1967. Because this speech traditionally was off the
record it received no publicity at the time. But in many
important ways it marked the first milestone on my road to the
presidency." -President Richard Nixon, Memoirs
(1978).
Since these meetings are held in secret, this
could once again be considered as a treasonous affair since it
out of the purview of Congress and the American public.

Common Links
If you're wondering how many elitist groups it
takes to screw in an NWO light bulb, the answer would be, as
many as it takes to deflect attention from just one source.
It would appear that the more organizations
there are working for a global agenda, it gives the appearance
that the cause is a common universal effort, justified by the
sheer volume of those working towards the goal.
Having multiple organizations working for the
banker's cause clearly takes the heat off of the elite central
bankers. This is the reason they created these institutions in
the first place. It was JP Morgan Jr. who was behind the CFR and
it was David Rockefeller who created the Trilateral Commission.
With larger organizations to steer the effort, the spotlight
would thus be cast elsewhere, instead of shining so brightly on
Morgan or Rockefeller. The Bilderberg group might also be said
to do the same for the Rothschilds.
What is most troubling among these big
super-three institutions are the common personnel links that you
find throughout these organizations, providing an undeniable,
centralized, yet diminutive cartel of authority, a tightly
controlled base of power held by an elite few. By dictionary
definition, a cabal.
David Rockefeller
Once again we have one common name in a
leading position in the top four most secret organizations, the
ultra-wealthy David Rockefeller. Rather than cast unfair
aspersions, we'll simply quote Mr. Rockefeller in his own words:
“Some even believe we
(Rockefeller family) are part of a secret cabal working against the best
interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as
‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a
more integrated global political and economic structure—one world, if you will.
If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.” -David
Rockefeller,
2002 Memoirs
Like JP
Morgan and Paul Warburg, Rockefeller is committed to an
international order, one in which only the uber-rich will wield
control. So much for the sovereignty of the U.S. and the
republic of our forefathers. Under men such as these,
government of the people, by the people and for the people
is an irresponsible notion, one that needs to be done away with,
according to them.
Rothschild Family
The Rothschild family has been accused of much
over the years, but unlike their American counterparts, this
dynasty has done its best to keep it family name off the
official rosters of the Trilateral Commission and the
Bilderbergs. Instead they will send lieutenants of the family to
do their bidding, such as
General The
Lord Guthrie,
Director, N M Rothschild & Sons, London; Member of the
House of Lords; former Chief of the Defence Staff, London, and
also Alfonso Cortina,
Vice Chairman of Rothschild Europe, and Senior Advisor for Spain
and Latin America Rothschild.
Since the CFR is an American only group, the
Rothschilds have no known involvement there, but one can only
assume they have paid emissaries representing their interests.
Henry
Kissinger
This foreign
born, yet naturalized citizen has had his hands in the
admittedly corrupt Nixon administration, the arguably inept Ford
administration, plus the treasonous Reagan-Bush administration.
Most should
understand the corrupt label for Nixon. That by itself should
stand without challenge. Nixon was also
a
fawning protégé of Prescott Bush, so he learned from one of
the best when it came to unscrupulous clandestine activity.
Kissinger was devoutly loyal to Nixon, which certainly leads
some to question his moral judgment.
As for Ford,
he was part of the Warren Commission cover-up of the
assassination of JFK. His commission had the first crack at
fresh evidence, yet they horribly bungled, or purposefully
covered up the investigation. The second commission that
investigated many years later disagreed with Ford and his
Commission peers, stating unequivocally that there was
more than one shooter and there was indeed more than
likely an organized conspiracy. Many have speculated that
Ford was given his presence in the administration as payback for
his role in the Warren Commission.
For those
taking issue with a treason charge for Reagan-Bush, they should
re-examine their history books, specifically the Walsh
Commission and the highly illegal Iran-Contra affair. Brokering
a deal with Iran to hold American hostages until the Reagan-Bush
team was in office is clear treason. The arms sale to the
Contras was also an illegal activity. Reagan disavowed the
entire operation on national television, but eventually was
forced to come clean, only after it was proven that his
administration was indeed guilty as charged. Numerous
indictments and convictions were rendered, however George HW
Bush pardoned them all. Many have said that Reagan himself was
an unwitting pawn during his two terms, a figurehead for
Americans to rally around, with ex-CIA operative and former
Director George HW Bush as the engine inside the administration.
Kissinger has
freely associated himself with highly questionable infamous
figureheads and presidential administrations, as well as being a
longtime member in the trifecta of NWO organizations, just
like Rockefeller. They, however, are not alone in this
cabal.
Zbigniew Brzezinski
Like Rockefeller and Kissinger, Mr. Brzezinski
has also had his hand in far too many cookie jars, also earning
the NWO trifecta by being part of the Trilateral Commission, the
CFR, and the Bilderberg Group. Like Kissinger he is foreign
born. He served in the JFK, LBJ, Carter and George HW Bush
administrations. A former director of the CFR as well as a
former trustee of the Trilateral Commission, he is also long
rumored to be a member of the Bilderberg Group. Brzezinski is
said to be a protégé of Nelson A. Rockefeller.
Brzezinski, was interviewed once for a French
publication, Le Nouvel Observateur, and he was most
candid, if not arrogantly boastful, about coercing the Soviet
Union to initiate a military intervention to support their
allied government in Kabul, Afghanistan.
Brezinski was asked if he regretted
coercing the Soviet incursion, to which he replied,
"Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It
had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and
you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially
crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter: We now have the
opportunity of giving to the USSR its
Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to
carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that
brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the
Soviet empire."
When asked if he regretted having supported
and armed Islamic terrorists, he matter of factly stated,
"What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban
or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or
the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?"
Some might argue that the present evil has now
eclipsed the former threat, but it is of no matter to Brzezinski.
Afghanistan was merely wanted for it oil and gas routes. The
U.S. has been secretly funding the Taliban, so all is going
according to plan if you were to ask Brzezinski.
George HW Bush
Not only was he the Director for the world's
most inauspicious intelligence agency, the CIA, he has also
served in the super-three of New World Order
organizations.
He was part of the Iran-Contra scandal and has
been linked by some to not only the Bay of Pigs invasion, but
also the JFK assassination. His family also had a most
coincidental link to the Hinckley family, as in would-be
assassin John Hinkley, who would have handed the presidency to
HW much sooner if Reagan had died in the bungled assassination
attempt. To be fair to Hinckley though, reporter and now news
anchor Judy Woodruff testified that the shots that hit Reagan
did not come from down the sidewalk near Hinckley, but from
overhead, from a nearby balcony.
Bush also is infamous for making many New
World Order speeches, particularly September 11th, 1991, just
ten years to the date from the actual 9/11 event. What an
extraordinary coincidence.
Other notables included just so happen to be
the heads of the Federal Reserve System, representing the cartel
responsible for the greatest coup ever perpetrated upon America.
Tim Geithner
- Federal Reserve Chairman, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)
member, Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg Commission.
Alan
Greenspan - Federal
Reserve Chairman, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member,
Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg Commission
Paul Volcker
- Federal Reserve Chairman, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)
member, Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg Commission, as well as
chairman of the
prominent New York investment banking firm, J. Rothschild &
Wolfensohn Company.
There are almost too many to list showing
cross membership in these super-three NWO organizations.
This very much leads a great many to cry collusion, for
which they would certainly have a very strong case to make, in
light of the evidence to support the claim.
The Point Is...
We could go on and on citing select members
who belong to all three of these groups, however, this piece
would also be remiss in not mentioning one other important link
that these individuals share in, they are all past participants
and members of the Bohemian Grove Society as well.
The gist of these name mentions is not only to
highlight orchestrated collusion from key ultra-wealthy and
politically influential individuals, but also to point out
un-American and un-Constitutional activity by U.S. political
leaders and government employees, Our U.S. Constitution does not
allow for U.S. political figures to become involved in
entangling foreign alliances which set about to usurp U.S. law
and the sovereignty of the nation. Again, to do so is by
definition, a treasonous affair.
Secret
Societies
Ritual ceremonies, like this one, take place among
the elite at the private Bohemian Grove retreat.
Many who question the behind
the scenes power elite will quite often refer to the secret
societies, long rumored to exist amongst us, such as the fabled
Illuminati, the Masons, and the Skull & Bones Society of Yale
University. This author can offer no historical proof to
substantiate the Illuminati, however the Masons and Skull &
Bones are publicly acknowledged organizations.
This author does not wish to
delve into these so-called secret societies, for their
membership still has to come from the influential elite. Instead
I would rather offer a few links for your personal review, and
continue on instead with following the money trail.
Skull & Bones
Skull
and
Bones is said to be the oldest of
Yale's secret societies and by far the most determinedly
secretive.
I guess the question is, just how many secret
societies does Yale have?
Skull & Bones is indeed an
acknowledged fraternity of Yale University, however its
membership and meetings are highly secretive. Many of the
wealthy and political elite Yale graduates have been named, such
as the Bush lineage, Prescott, George HW and George W Bush. John
Kerry is also said to be a
"Bonesman."
Both he and George W. Bush were asked point blank about the
order during the 2004 presidential campaign, with both coyly
answering with a smile on their face, "it's a secret."
Another alleged secret
society was formed by gold and diamond magnate
Cecil Rhodes in 1891,
appropriately enough named, the "Society of the Elect."
According to Rhodes, their mission was to "absorb the wealth
of the world" and "to take the government of the whole
world." The Rhodes Trust was established in 1902
with a total of 90
Rhodes Scholarships awarded each year by the
Rhodes foundation.
According to Prof.
Carroll Quigley, in The
Anglo-American Establishment, Rhodes' secret society will
have more than enough members holding key positions within the
areas of education, journalism, politics, economics, thus giving
the society a political foothold in the world through a network
of the elite. These individuals share the cause of a one world
government.
"The (Rhodes) scholarships were merely a
façade to conceal the secret society, or, more accurately, they
were to be one of the instruments by which members of the secret
society could carry out Rhodes' purpose." -Professor
Carroll Quigley
The Washington Post wrote a piece
on Prof.
Quigley regarding his ability
to befriend such powerful, secret societies. The article was
titled "The Professor Who Knew Too Much," (March 23, 1975). The
article wrote about Quigley and his information which is said to
have been obtained from the power elite's "secret records."
A group that has been around for
centuries, so you know they have devotion and allegiance. The Masonic Order is said to be
open, however allegations of an upper tier of elders has long
been rumored, with 33 degrees of hierarchy to the order,
with only those of the 33rd degree possessing the full knowledge
and purpose of the group.
Some of our founding fathers were
said to be Masons, Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock, John Paul
Jones, Robert Livingston, Paul Revere, and George Washington. Of
the 56 signers of The Declaration of Independence, eight were
known Masons.
Few know that the design of the
streets in Washington are laid out in Masonic symbols that can
be viewed from overhead. Many of the monuments are designed
after Masonic symbols. The Washington monument is most prominent
and traces back to early Egypt. It is an ancient obelisk of
specific proportions, often recalled to in ancient times as the
shaft of Baal. You can find more information on the Masonic
symbols and layout of Washington DC here...
http://dcsymbols.com/index.htm
The Illuminati are akin to occult groups much
the same way the Bilderbergs are to the Trilateral Commission
and the CFR, they are the top rung of the ladder. Much has been
written about this group, with very little of a benign nature.
Some claim the Illuminati were founded in Bavaria, Germany in
1776, while others claim much older ancestry lasting for
millennia. They were originally said to be called
Perfectibilists, but the name was allegedly changed at a later
date to the Illuminati, short for the illuminated ones, or
the enlightened.
The group is said to comprise
thirteen elite bloodline
families
of great wealth, knowledge and power, with control over much of
society. They are rumored to be linked to many
secret societies that
commonly link back to the ancient world. They are said to
possess great ancient wisdom which they strive to keep to
themselves, all the while withholding knowledge for their own
exploitation and to keep the vast populace in the dark.
The pyramid has long been a
symbol for this group, with the all seeing eye of Ra at its top.
You have seen this represented many times in your life, most
specifically on the back of U.S. currency and other financial
institutions.
Very little is known about the people at the
very top of the Illuminati, due to their extreme emphasis on
secrecy.
You are free to search on your
own for more on this group and their occult historical
connections for your own enlightenment.
The organizations of the elite,
the Bilderberg's, the Trilateral Commission, the CFR, and even
the Bohemian Grove Society, are all earnestly working for an
international order. The question is, will this global focus
usurp the sovereignty of nations, including the United states,
and our forefathers dream of a republic governed "of the
people, by the people and for the people?"
Much of the subject matter in
this article you won't of course get from our bought and paid
for corporate controlled media. This is information you need to
research extensively on your own, while it is still available,
before the victor rewrites history.
Many try to write it all off as
"conspiracy theory," but that is one of the greatest ruses
of all. Much is greatly diminished or simply washed away through
the purposeful and calculated conditioned brainwashing of this
highly marketed and much maligned phrase.
The "Conspiracy Theory"
Fallacy
When those within government are implicated or
caught in the act of heinous deeds, they immediately paint those
making the allegations as conspiracy theorists. In a calculated
fashion they carefully insinuate that any charges are totally
unfounded and without merit. The inference they intentionally
work to convey is that those who have uncovered the truth are
mentally unstable and not reliable sources to be believed.
Whether it be Pearl Harbor, MLK, JFK, RFK, or 9/11, the tactic
is always the same, discredit the messenger.
Two little words, "conspiracy theory," that’s all it seems to take
these days to discount the truth, but if you consider the
nonsense in the argument, or therein the actual lack of a
tenable argument, it’s quite easy to see the absurdity in such a
weak premise.
Why is it okay for some in the government to cry
conspiracy whenever they want, yet at the same time negate the
theory and belittle the term when others make the same claim
against the government?
The point here is, conspiracy, by its definition,
is okay with the government when it is assigned by official
sources, but clearly it is not considered plausible when
suggested by those that are not in a position of power. How is
this justified?
Conspiracy is a valid word with definitive
meaning. It says absolutely nothing about having a contrarian
point of view. It merely denotes a sad fact of life.
To all the myriad parrots in the mainstream
media…from the Chronicle, the Examiner, the Post and the Times,
to CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, FOX and the likes of corporate
mouthpieces such as Ted Koppel, Diane Sawyer, Charlie Gibson,
Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper, Campbell Brown, Joe Scarborough
and a countless horde of others, to talk blowhards like Rush
Limbaugh, as well as numerous shills such as Neil Cavuto, Bill
O’Reilly and Sean Hannity… conspiracy is a legitimate word. If
only they would take the time to look it up between their
make-up and blow-comb sessions. If they continue to refuse to
entertain it, or give it the proper respect with which it is
owed, then just maybe, quite possibly, they are also part of it.
Great men and women have died trying to expose
it, while the weak and evil have killed in an effort to hide it.
The point is, conspiracy is real, especially so
within the halls of government power. To claim that conspiracies
can only come from foreign enemies is contrary to reality. To
believe that there are no political groups with nefarious,
grandiose agendas is extremely naïve. (see the PNAC)
So enough with the “conspiracy theory”
belittlement. Those that have an issue with 9/11 truther's, try
refuting the facts for once, rather than attack those who
actually investigate and understand them.
Get past the deception. Conspiracy absolutely
does happen in this world. As long as huge money is available to
unscrupulous men of greed, anything is possible. As long as
irrefutable power is sought by man, all theories must be
entertained to assess legitimate potential and likely
probability for the epic plot. To discount legitimate
possibilities out of hand because someone else deems them to be
inappropriate or too outlandish, plays only to the advantage of
those with something to hide.
Maybe the next time someone yells "conspiracy
theory" we should turn and look for once, rather than follow our
conditioned response of turning away.
The truth is, the real conspiracy theory
generally comes from the government, whether it be a lone gunman
with a slow to fire bolt-action rifle from the far away book
depository, or three free falling skyscrapers collapsing in ten
seconds or less like a controlled demolition, the official
version is quite often the hardest to swallow.
Historically it would appear that the "official
story," with it’s magic bullet or the hotter than normal
burning jet fuel, that is the story that historically tends to stretch all
credibility of the truth, more so than those accounts which are deemed as
actual "conspiracy theory."
The next time you hear someone claim it's all a
conspiracy theory, think about taking a second look and make
sure you're not just creating the environment for the perfect
crime, by not looking at all.
As long as mankind holds onto its insatiable
greed and thirst for power, the elements for criminal conspiracy
are now, and will continue to be, a given in our society.
Conspiracy theory is real. Two publications will
enlighten you, the dictionary and a history book. All you need to
do us look it up.
The Big Money
Banking & Wall Street: $1-Trillion+ How do you figure the net worth of
Wall Street? According to Forbes, the net worth of the major houses is
valued at $20-billion to $40-billion. In terms of the combined money of the
major industry leaders, the total figure has to dwarf all others,
essentially because many of the other industries named just below, are part
of Wall Street as well.
It is has been remarked about for
years by statesman and scholars, that those who
control the money supply control the world. The people behind the money
supply are the
people behind the large central banks,
the most
powerful corporations, and the one group who are able to
manipulate governments at their
will.
The Big Money: Bank of
America, CitiBank, JP Morgan Chase, Morgan-Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo.
The big money institutions
made $580-billion from the top six in banking, like B of A, and also holding
companies, such as Berkshire Hathaway.
Big
Pharma: $315-Billion annually The United States has the largest pharmaceutical industry in the world,
with annual pharmaceutical revenue at roughly $315-billion.
Compare that to overall global sales of $825-billion in 2010 and
you can see that the "American war on drugs" is one of the
biggest oxymorons running. In the US alone, drug sales have
increased nearly $30-billion in just three years. That is a
staggering increase and a most alarming social trend to take
note of.
By 2013, the global sale of pharmaceutical
drugs is expected to be near $1-trillion dollars
per year.
Most revealing and perhaps quite telling is the fact that antidepressants rank
at the top of the big pharma drug churning machine. To some,
this probably isn't too surprising, since they understand that a
drugged down populace is much easier to control.
The top five
drug categories overall, antidepressants, lipid regulators, codeine &
combination pain medications, ace inhibitors and beta blockers, continue
to lead the prescription drug market.
Insurance Industry (Health): $333-Billion
annually
The health insurance industry alone is worth $333-billion
each year, reaping huge profits through 1/3rd of an annual trillion dollar industry.
According to Health
Care for America Now, in 2009,
during the worst economic crisis since the Great
Depression, the five biggest health insurance companies set new
industry profit records with
over $12-billion! The five largest for-profit
health insurance companies were
able to fill their bank accounts with a whopping and immoral
increase of 56% from the year before. CEOs, executives and shareholders of
, UnitedHealthGroup Inc.,
WellPoint Inc., Aetna Inc., Humana Inc., and Cigna Corp.,
These insurance parasites owe much of their disgusting
and excessive profit to dumping their sickest policy
holders, according to Health Care for America Now. To reach this
greed-based achievement, they left behind 2.7 million Americans
who had been in private health plans. Those loyal customers who
kept their benefits, had their rates raised, while cutting the
share of premiums spent on medical care.
The insurance pariahs also skim off
15-20 percent of premium dollars for administrative costs and
profits. A Washington Post study which examined the insurers’
medical loss ratio, the percentage of revenue from a plan’s
premiums that actually pays out for medical services, shows that
during the last decade, health insurance companies are
spending less on medical care and more on administrative costs
or profits.
According to Andrew Kurz, former chief financial officer of Wisconsin
Blue Cross-Blue Shield, "Insurance company profit margins put the
industry in the top 10% of all industries, up there with cigarette
manufacturers. Insurers price their products like a discretionary luxury,
not something essential for health and well-being."
US Oil Companies: $600-billion Standard Oil was arguably the first US
multinational corporation. The Rockefeller fortune reached far and wide.
While the Standard brand is not currently trumpeted, it is represented by
the top two U.S. oil producers, Exxon and Chevron, both holdovers from the
original Standard Oil breakup of 1911.
The top three alone had yearly earnings worth
collectively $588-billion, so a few more added on further down the list
should get this group at or over $600-billion in receipts. The profits
for the top companies were...
Total Oil
(Companies
noted) Source: CNN
Money / Fortune
$96.4-billion
For alleged struggling companies in an oil crisis, and the
worst economy ever, this is abhorrent profit, no matter how you look at it.
They gouged us at the pump and hit us hard, all for their excessive profit.
The top three companies shown above took home a little over $35-billion in
profit. Huge, even more so, in light of the miserable economy.
Military Industrial Complex: $708-Billion annually Arguably
one of the largest for profit industries in the corporate world is the
defense industry. The
enormous amount of money spent in the name of national defense dwarfs
everything else in the federal budget. Most
notable is the fact that the United States far and away outspends all
other country's combined.
(See the 2004 graph below)
Huge
contractors such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrup Gruman,
Raytheon, General Dynamics, United Technologies, Honeywell, GE, Hughes, etc,
lead the military industrial complex. (Top
100 US Defense Contractors)
Consider now that the Obama administration has asked for a record$708-billion for 2011.
A budget of $708-billion would make the above 2004 graph
nearly twice as wide!
Unfathomable Corporate Wealth
(Power)
As you can see from
just a quick look at the big money industries such as Wall Street,
banking, health insurance, big pharma, or the military
industrial complex, unfathomable sums of money can now be
readily coalesced through a 21st century version of the "Money Trust."
There is clearly a
considerable amount of "agenda capitol" available out
there in the corporate world to buy votes with, to help further
the corporate agenda for the wealthy elite. Enormous amounts of money can be
coalesced to support political candidates, as well as line the
pockets of those willing to "play for pay." John Q Public
is seriously out financed when it comes to defending against the
overwhelming tremendous wealth of the corporate giants. It is
a supreme understatement to say that we have much to fear
from the corporate goliaths who have taken hold of society.
Our forefathers
feared these forces as well. That is why they had the good sense to do one other thing,
to
restrict the years of operation for not only the large central
banks, but also for corporations as well. They knew that big
money could grow excessively large, as in a threat to the
state,
so they limited these institutions.
Our forefathers were
not only very restrictive when it came to large corporations,
but they were also highly selective.
A look at the
previous corporate structure reveals a judicial environment
totally contrary to the present. Few today could exist under
these early corporate rules.
Early Corporate
Guidelines:
Limited corporation
to strictly a business role.
Corporations were
prohibited from influencing elections, public policy and other
aspects of society.
The powers of
incorporation were used "selectively" early on, choosing only
those businesses who could help benefit the public the most.
Corporations were not well liked by the public. Few
corporate charters were allowed, and only after a public debate.
Corporations were allowed a set number of years for operation. The only
thing that could save the corporation from a breakup would be an oftentimes
hard to get
charter renewal.
Not only were corporate charters
granted for a limited amount of time, they could also be revoked
at any time for a violation of law. Corporations were subject to
terminations if they exceeded authority and/or caused the public
to be harmed.
There were no personal
limitations on matters of corporate liability. Back then,
managers, directors, and shareholders were all liable for total
debts and any harm. In some states, corporations were actually
held doubly or triply liable.
Had to be chartered
for a specific purpose, not for everything, and/or anything.
Corporations had
limited duration, ten, twenty and thirty years was the norm.
Unlike today, they were not ongoing charters with limitless
life.
Corporations could only
initiate action that was needed to fulfill their charter.
Corporations could not hold
stock in any other corporations.
Interlocking directorates were forbidden.
(Members couldn't sit on other boards.)
The amount of
capitalization a corporation could have was restricted.
Corporations could not own
property that was not needed to fulfill their charter.
Owners, executives, were held
responsible for any and all criminal activity.
Political and charitable contributions were
absolutely forbidden.
Expressly forbidden from attempting to
influence our judicial or political system.
Shareholders had far
more rights than they have today.Shareholders had the right to remove directors at will.
The states
reserved the right to amend the charters, or to revoke them,
for any reason they felt necessary.
Prevention of large shareholders was achieved through
limited scaled voting. This way, both the large and small investors each had
equal voting rights.
Citizens used to help govern corporations by helping to
set operating conditions for the charters. They also did this for state
constitutions and state laws.
Special citizen authority clauses helped limit
capitalization, debt, land holdings, and even company profits.
Incorporated businesses were prohibited from taking any
action that legislators did not specifically allow.
For an expiring charter, the corporation was dissolved and
all assets were divided up among its shareholders.
A corporation's accounting books were to be turned over to
any legislature upon request.
Wow, talk about a 180 degree polar opposite
change in the corporate world.
Today's Corporations: Antithesis of
their Predecessor
Now, contrast the previously outlined
corporate guidelines with what we currently know and understand
about corporations. They are as dichotomous as could be.
We need to make owners and operators liable
again. Corporations should not have rights as individuals. They
are manufactured industries of corporate control, all enabled
through high-paid officers and executives that should be held
liable for their calculated guidance of such entities.
The rights of an individual should come with
the same punitive liabilities of an individual, otherwise a
distinction is made which highlights the disparity of a human
versus a cold corporate entity. Justice must be served. Someone
at the corporation has to be accountable.
A corporation is a legal fiction, a
government-created/regulated identity for a conjured entity that
does not exist in reality. A corporation cannot personally
interact as a physical human being, yet it is given the civil
rights of a person. This is a rule that quite arguably needs to
be changed.
John D. Rockefeller, along with Andrew
Carnegie, were at the forefront of the effort to get state
legislatures to recognize private ventures as corporations. Up
until then, only public (government-driven) ventures had
received corporate charters in the U.S.
Corporations are now allowed to donate freely,
in large amounts, to various political candidates that would
offer them legislative services in return. This is completely
contrary to the original restriction and goes against a free
republic.
You can see that the corporations our
forefathers tried to restrict, have taken over and threatened
their dream of a free republic.
Somewhere along the
line, someone thought that restricting corporations was a
bad idea, so the original restrictions are sadly no more,
giving way to untold corporate trillions that can now be amassed
and marshaled against the state.
Our forefathers are
no doubt rolling in their graves over our ignorance and
stupidity.
The megalithic
titans of the corporate world all have ultra-rich owners and
shareholders, all for whom it is in their best interest to have
the system continue to run "as is" for their benefit.
There are obscene
profits to be made for those who bankroll war. The ability of
unlimited money can decisively help steer the outcome of a war,
especially when the most unscrupulous of all plays both sides of
the conflict.
As we know, there are vast pools of great corporate
wealth in this world, each company subject only to the moral
guidance of its officers. These vast, deep pocket engines of
commerce and/or their rich families have their own personal
goals. When two or more of these corporate titans gather
together for the same ideal, it is wise to cast an ever
watchful eye.
The Corporate
Goliaths that have risen are exactly what our forefathers feared
the most. Their worst nightmare for America has been slowly
coming true. Corporate hegemony
has delivered a serious blow to "government of the people, by
the people, and for the people." The corporation, as it exists
today, is not structured to be productive to society. Its goals
and ambitions are unto itself, with little or no regard for
anything outside of its target market.
The Misuse of
Power: False Flag Operations
Pearl Harbor, December 7th, 1941, "A day that shall live in
infamy."
As General Smedley D. Butler
wrote about in his book, "War Is A Racket," it was his contention that all wars were
generally orchestrated out of corporate geed and/or for imperialism. As you will
read below, U.S. war became plentiful after the creation of the Federal
Reserve.
The twentieth century has recorded the effects of
the Federal Reserve bankers, with the most egregious arguably
being its "wars for profit."
The average
American is tragically unaware of “manufactured war.” Many have
no clue of, nor understand the term, “false flag operation.”
This is a morally deplorable clandestine plot which describes an
orchestrated illegal offensive effort which is meant to deceive
the public, so that they think other outside entities are
involved. Sadly enough, there are many instances of proven false
flag operations.
Americans
would do well to enlighten their historical understanding of the
following deplorable events.
Sinking of
the Lusitania
– (leading to World War I) The US is said to have given the
Germans information that the Lusitania was carrying a secret
cargo of weapons. A German U-boat then sank the ship, giving the
US the excuse to enter into World War I.
Pearl
Harbor
– (leading to World War II) Some claim this as the first ever
sacrifice with full knowledge of an impending enemy attack. This
horrific 9/11-type event was said to be used by
those wanting U.S. war involvement, to form and then galvanize
U.S. opinion into backing involvement in World War II.
According to
Admiral Kimmel, the US had broken the Japanese codes and knew
well in advance exactly when and where the attack would begin.
The US moved key ships out to sea and is said to have allowed
the attacks to take place, justifying its war presence and the
eventual use of nuclear weapons which resulted in a long-sought
place of world military prominence for the U.S.
Gulf of
Tonkin
– (expanding US involvement in the Viet Nam War) The US claimed
that the North Vietnamese launched torpedoes at the destroyer
Maddox in the Gulf of Tonkin. Former Secretary of Defense Robert
McNamara later admitted that the attack had never happened.
Essentially, the LBJ expansion of U.S., involvement in the Viet
Nam War was based on a lie.
First Iraq
War
– (leading to the Gulf War) The US told Saddam it was okay to
take over Kuwait and seize their oil fields. We even sold them
the poison gas to attack Kuwait with. The Kuwaiti Ambassador’s
daughter in Washington falsely posed as an Iraqi nurse, claiming
babies were taken from incubators and left to die on the cold
floor. She was said to be coached by DC ad firm, Hill &
Knowlton.
1995 World
Trade Center Bombing
- The FBI was intimately involved, using Ramzi Youseff as bait
to coerce a terrorist attack. The FBI supplied real bomb
material, rather than fake explosives. Youseff became alarmed
and contacted others in regards to this.
9/11
Attacks
– (leading to Afghanistan War and Iraq War) The Project For a
New American Century (PNAC), a treatise detailing a plan for US
dominance in the world. A neo-con group wrote that this plan
would take years to achieve, unless of course there was a new
Pearl Harbor-type event. Shortly after, we had the 9/11 attacks.
This event has produced numerous evidentiary oddities that
question how Osama bin Laden or Al Qaeda could have pulled off
the attacks and the controlled demolition of three WTC towers,
one not hit by airplane, none burning from top to bottom, yet all
collapsing conveniently into their own basements at near free
fall speed, through the path of most resistance. One of them
collapsed in less than an hour of total fire, the other one took
just one hour and forty-two minutes.
Note: The
Afghanistan War and Iraq War were both planned long before 9/11.
Second Iraq
War
– Iraq had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks. They also had no
WMD. The war plans were actually drawn up before September 11th.
It’s a well documented fact that the U.S. pulled Hans Blix out
of Iraq, after he found no evidence of weapons of mass
destruction.
Afghanistan
War
– They too also had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks, but
like the Iraq War it is a well documented fact that the U.S.
invasion plans were mysteriously drawn up long before September
11th.
Selling War For Profit
Looking at
these past aggressions in their totality, it would seem that
every one of these events was purposefully planned, aggressively
initiated and staged for profit, as well as U.S. domination.
Do not be
lulled into the mistaken premise that large false flag
operations such as these could not have been kept from the
public by those involved. Secrets are kept by hundreds and even
thousands of people within the U.S. government. A
compartmentalized chain of command is all it takes to allow
nefarious agendas and provide a sanctioned cover for dubious
deeds. If you have even the slightest doubt that this could be
true, you are encouraged to examine but only a small list of
grandiose historical secrets which involved a great many
individuals, all no doubt working under the implied notion of
patriotic devotion, while hiding within the guise of national
secrecy.
Manhattan Project
Gulf of Tonkin Incident
Secret Medical Testing on Military and Civilian
Population
MKULTRA (CIA mind control experiments)
Iran-Contra Scandal (Treasonous Reagan-Bush
deal)
Pearl Harbor Deceit…
Much has been
written about U.S. military foreknowledge of the Japanese attack
on Pearl Harbor, using the event as a catalyst to enter the war
against Japan, but most notably to use the situation to
establish a post WWII world supremacy through the feigned
legitimate use of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The event has been charged as a “Don’t tread on us, or you’ll get more of
the same” moment, for other countries to take notice of.
We broke the Japanese code early on.
Were warned of Japanese warships early on.
We pulled our best ships out of Pearl Harbor
before the attack.
These are all
valid points that implicate the exploitation of Japanese
aggression for the sole purpose of U.S. world hegemony.
During the 1946 Congressional hearings on
Pearl Harbor,
Admiral Kimmel testified that, "We
needed one thing, which our own resources could not make
available to us.
That vital need was the
information available in Washington, from the
intercepted dispatches, which told when and where Japan would
mostly strike. I did not get this information."
Kimmel's testimony was common knowledge at the
time, when Congress held hearings on the matter, but since then
has not been openly discussed by corporate media. The fact that
Pearl Harbor could have been avoided, but was allowed to happen
in order to stir a nation to anger, to further an agenda for
war, was the sickest of all ideas to ever consider, until
9/11.
Looking at the two events in hindsight, and
their resulting wars, it is not unreasonable for anyone to
question the authenticity of the history that Americans have
been led to believe regarding either event.
Like the JFK assassination, neither event is
anything that the U.S. government wishes to openly discuss.
Usually when the government goes out of its way to stifle ideas
or discussion, it is because they are threatened by the truth
that is presented by them.
Spying On
Our Own Citizens (TIA)
Keeping tabs
on foreign nationals is one thing, but the CIA has from its
inception continually broken its charter by spying domestically
as well, a job reserved for the FBI and the police. The CIA is
supposed to be an international data gathering organization
only, reporting back to the President of the United States. Only
the FBI has the legal jurisdiction to surveil Americans and
suspicious individuals on U.S. soil.
The Bush II administration took domestic spying
to a whole new level through a program called TIA, the Total
Information Awareness program. As part of the treacherous
Patriot Act, it strikes a mandate of domestic spying on U.S.
citizens while claiming to aid in counterintelligence for
foreign terrorist activities. What most people don’t realize is
that this function has been covered quite well for many years by
the FBI. There was no need for the Patriot Act, nor its Homeland
Security.
Perceived intel lapses leading up to 9/11 have
purposefully and falsely been sold to the American public to
mislead us into believing that our domestic intelligence
services have been inadequate up to that point. For those who
have extensively studied the 9/11 event, nothing could be
further from the truth. FBI agent Colleen Rowley has openly
expressed her personal experiences of an agency that was forced
to sit on key evidence which arguably helped facilitate the
success of the 9/11 plot. The only lapse in our domestic
intelligence came from key individuals at the top who helped
create a vulnerable environment for others to exploit.
The U.S. Senate claimed that TIA would not be
allowed without meticulous Congressional scrutiny to protect law
abiding citizens from illegal snooping, yet as we have now found
out, the program has been misused against us on a massive scale,
despite assurances to the contrary.
One end around used by the Bush-Cheney
administration was the employment of corporate institutions to
pool public information into government databases. Financial
institutions, communications companies and even insurance
corporations have been used to collect data illegally. This
expressly flies in the face of our Constitutional rights, not to
mention the Privacy Act of 1974. A National Data Center was
originally proposed as far back as 1965, but a massive public
uproar led to its defeat and the creation of the Privacy Act.
TIA is a direct violation of this protective act.
According to the ACLU (American Civil Liberties
Union), "Total Information
Awareness" may be the closest thing to a true "Big Brother"
program that has ever been seriously contemplated in the United
States. TIA is based on a vision of pulling together as much
information as possible about as many people as possible into an
"ultra-large-scale" database, making that information available
to government officials, and sorting through it to try to
identify terrorists.”
The problem with this, as has already been
proven, the system is not being used to just look for
terrorists.
The ACLU raised grave concerns over TIA, citing
five points of major concern.
It
would kill privacy in America.
Under this program, every aspect of our lives would be
catalogued and made available to government officials.
Americans have the right to expect that their lives will not
become an open book when they have not done, and are not even
suspected of doing, anything wrong.
It
harbors a tremendous potential for abuse. The
motto of the TIA program is that "knowledge is power," and in
fact the keepers of the TIA database would gain a tremendous
amount of power over American citizens. Inevitably, some of
them will abuse that power. An example of the kind of abuses
that can happen were chronicled in a July 2001 investigation
by the Detroit Free Press (and December 2001 follow-up):
the newspaper found that police officers with access to a
database for Michigan law enforcement had used it to help
their friends or themselves stalk women, threaten motorists,
track estranged spouses - even to intimidate political
opponents. Experience has shown that when large numbers of
Americans challenge the government's policy (for example in
Vietnam), some parts of the government react by conducting
surveillance and using it against critics. The unavoidable
truth is that a super-database like TIA will lead to
super-abuses.
It
is based on virtual dragnets instead of individualized
suspicion. TIA
would represent a radical departure from the centuries-old
Anglo-American tradition that the police conduct surveillance
only where there is evidence of involvement in wrongdoing.
It would seek to protect us by monitoring everyone for signs
of wrongdoing - by instituting a giant dragnet capable of
sifting through the personal lives of Americans.
It would ruin the very American values that our government is
supposed to be protecting.
It
would not be effective. The
program is based on highly speculative assumptions about how
databases can be tapped to stop terrorism, and there are good
reasons to suspect that it would not work at all (see below).
It fails basic balancing tests.
The benefits of this program in stopping terrorism are highly
speculative, but the damage that it would do to American
freedom is certain.
Notice that a specific entity is given the power
to eavesdrop.
It is even more notable to point out for such a
sensitive issue, that Bush appointed none other than the
infamous and morally questionable John Poindexter to head up the
TIA program. Poindexter is indeed quite a character. A retired
American naval officer, as well as President Reagan's national
security adviser, Poindexter was best known for his role in the
Iran-Contra scandal. He was convicted on multiple felony counts
on April 7, 1990. An interesting selection for the head of TIA.
TIA is also known as the Information Awareness
Office (IAO). The original choice ofthe
Masonic "eye-in-pyramid" symbol
for its logo raised immediate concerns for many, due to its
Illuminati-esque features. It
also carries the Latin motto "scientia est potentia,"
meaning "knowledge is power". After much criticism and
public outcry the pyramid logo was removed due its occult
overtones. It is
through DARPA that TIA is run.
The IAO's (TIA) admitted mission is to gather as
much information as it can on every single person possible
through financial records, medical records, internet activity,
library records and any other personal data collection for use
in a centralized database for access by the U.S. government. The
ACLU maintains that this is a blatant disregard of private
personal information and an unwarranted invasion of privacy,
unmatched in the annals of history. This information is ripe for
abuse and has already been exploited on hundreds, if not
thousands of occasions in its short history under the
Bush-Cheney regime alone.
Fortunately there have been some within Congress who have fought
against TIA and its exploitation. Senator Russ Feingold
introduced S.188, the Data-Mining Moratorium Act of 2003, which
called for a cessation on public data-mining under TIA and
"any other program." Feingold’s bill mandated that the
Secretary of Defense, Attorney General, and all other agencies,
make full disclosure to Congress of any future data-mining
activities.
Congress mysteriously did not pass Feingold’s bill, but did pull
the funding for TIA in 2003, however, the Bush-Cheney regime
skirted the Congress and went ahead with the program anyway,
with black money through clandestine means.
Operation Echelon Imagine a system so powerful that it
can intercept all electronic communications... in the
world. All phone calls, emails, texts, faxes, cell phones,
pagers, etc. If it's an electronic communication, it will be run
through the
Echelon system.
The U.S. used to openly deny the existence of
such a program, let any alone in-place technology, until the EU
proved its existence when it went after the U.S. for corporate
espionage. Operation Echelon exists.
This is one of the key reasons why many do not
believe that the U.S. had no idea 9/11 was about to happen, even
after numerous foreign warnings. With Echelon in place, how
could they have possibly missed the years of planning leading up
to 9/11?
AT&T Room # 641A A secure room in San
Francisco that contains access to all public phone records.
In San
Francisco there have been numerous reports on the existence of a secured
room where all phone records are said to be routed, stored, or
accessible. The room resides in the SBC building at 611 Folsom
Street. AT&T maintains three floors in the building, six, seven
and eight. The 8th floor is reported to be high-speed
fiber-optic circuits that run down to the 7th floor where they
connect to routers for the "common backbone" of AT&T's WorldNet
service. All data is said to be funneled to the 6th floor,
to room 641A, to monitor data and all calls on the service.
Same As Before For anyone to possibly think that
communications surveillance began under the Bush-Cheney regime,
they would be sadly mistaken. This has been going on for some
time now, at least since the 1990s. It is clear that Echelon was
in use as early as the Clinton administration. With Room 641A
storing all your phone calls, and now TIA digging into our
personal records, it's clear that Uncle Sam not only likes to
watch, but likes to listen as well. (Note: New facilities in
Bluffdale, Utah, Ashburn, Virginia, and St. Louis, Missouri,
also now collect communications data and archive it.)
The Greater Power That Is
As the old saying going, once power is gained it
is hard to take it away. Many presidents have commented on the
greater power that exists in this country since the formation of
the Federal Reserve.
"They know that there is a power somewhere, so
organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so
pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak
in condemnation of it." -Woodrow Wilson
President Calvin Coolidge once remarked that
despite being the most powerful man in the world, "I am only
in the clutch of forces that are greater than I am."
"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a
financial element in the large centers has owned the government
of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson."
-President Franklin D. Roosevelt [letter dated November 21,
1933]
"The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise
power from behind the scenes." -U.S. Supreme Court Justice
Felix Frankfurter
"Outwardly we have a Constitutional
government. We have operating within our government and
political system, another body representing another form of
government, a bureaucratic elite which believes our Constitution
is outmoded."
-Senator William Jenner (February 23, 1954)
And of all the people to comment on
power and authority, read what Richard Nixon had to say about
this secret, hidden power:
"The nation's immediate
problem is that while the common man fights America's wars, the
intellectual elite sets its agenda. Today, whether the West
lives or dies is in the hands of its new power elite: those who
set the terms of public debate, who manipulate the symbols, who
decide whether nations or leaders will be depicted on 100
million television sets as 'good' or 'bad.' This power elite
sets the limits of the possible for Presidents and Congress. It
molds the impressions that move the nation, or that mire it."
-President Richard Nixon, from
"The Real War."
Even Ronald
Reagan was said to have remarked in his second term that he
suspected that he was not in control of the nation, that there
was indeed a greater power of influence that prevailed over the
country.
Deny the
existence of such a power base if you like, but far greater
men seem to have known better for years now.
We've seen Woodrow Wilson grieve over allowing
the birth of the Federal Reserve, and we've also seen Harry
Truman lament his allowance of the CIA.
The ruling power of the United States doesn't
come from Pennsylvania Avenue, it comes from Wall Street.
One Family's Threat To The Power Elite
(L-R) Attorney General Robert Kennedy confers outside
the White House with President John Kennedy.
One president in particular understood all of
these evils and openly spoke of dismantling these powerful
pariahs of our government. President John F. Kennedy was the
first to stand against the entrenched powers that be, and for it
he sadly paid the ultimate price.
Kennedy was said to have threatened to
"splinter the CIA into a million pieces and cast
it into the wind."
Kennedy wanted the CIA investigated. He wanted to neuter their
unchecked authority and reckless operational behavior. Kennedy
was also rumored to be in the process of forming a committee to
investigate the CIA and its influence throughout the world.
Kennedy fired CIA Director Allen
Dulles after the failed Bay of Pigs invasion. This did not sit
well with Dulles, nor loyalists who helped him gain the
position. Kennedy had clearly made enemies within a sect of the
CIA.
Arthur Schlesinger has been reported as saying
that the Kennedys were "at war" with the national security
state during his administration.
President Kennedy also implicitly
understood the dangers of the Federal Reserve.
Kennedy is said to have wanted to break away from the Federal
Reserve system. On June
4th, 1963, President Kennedy signed into law presidential
Executive Order number 11110, which amended Executive order
10289 of September 19th, 1951.
Executive
Order 11110 was said to give the treasury the power to create
and issue currency, without having to go through the privately
owned Federal Reserve Bank. The Treasury Department was given
the new authority to issue silver certificates against any
silver, silver bullion, or standard silver dollars in the
Treasury. Kennedy was assassinated only five months later.
Coming from a
wealthy family himself, Kennedy was well aware of the influence
of money upon government. He was also knowledgeable on the
fraternities and secret societies that formed amongst the
affluent elite.
The very word
"secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as
a people inherently and historically opposed to secret
societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided
long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted
concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which
are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in
opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its
arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in
insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not
survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an
announced need for increased security will be seized upon by
those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of
official censorship and concealment.
-President John F. Kennedy 4/27/61
It is well
documented that President Kennedy also did not want to see an
escalation of U.S. involvement in the Viet Nam War. Vice
President Lyndon Johnson on the other hand, much like Dick
Cheney, was tied to Brown & Root (affiliated with Halliburton),
one of the largest defense companies in the world. B&R was
Johnson's largest financial contributor. It was Johnson who
helped Brown & Root grow in its early years by providing
invaluable support in gaining huge defense contracts. With
Kennedy out of the way, Johnson was free to escalate U.S.
involvement in Viet Nam, making a fortune for B&R through base
construction contracts. Ladybird Johnson has also long been
rumored to have been a majority stockholder in Sea-Land, a
Houston based shipping container company which profited heavily
through the shipment of munitions and supplies for the war.
There are
many reasons why the behind the scenes power elite wanted
Kennedy dead.
Kennedy wanted to pull out of Viet Nam (Natl
Security Memorandum 263)
He did
not support the Bay of Pigs Invasion
He wanted to reorganize, or break up the CIA
(fired CIA Dir. Allen Dulles)
He wanted to disrupt the Federal Reserve with
silver backed currency (EO11110)
Many JFK researchers make
the mistake of trying to separate the above issues, trying to
place blame on one single faction, in their myopia missing the
fact that all of the above reasons were indeed under one roof,
under the auspices of an ultra-wealthy cabal with control over
all of these situations.
Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy knew that he too might be a target, but instead he
bravely sought the nomination for President, despite the danger
it imposed upon him.
RFK was a threat because he was close to brother
John and would more than likely continue his policies,
threatening the Federal Reserve cartel, the CIA, and the growing
military industrial complex (owned by the ultra-wealthy).
Mae Brussell once said that
JFK put Bobby in charge of cleaning up the CIA, "the
government behind my back."
With an intelligence network
as vast as that of the U.S., it is impossible to not uncover the
plots behind the cold-blooded murders of both JFK and RFK,
unless of course there was U.S. intelligence involvement and a
subsequent cover-up. For anyone to say, in each case, that a
lone gunman was able to single-handedly conquer the superior
safeguards and defensive protocols of the Secret Service and our
government is absolutely ludicrous. That in itself is the
wildest conspiracy theory of all.
The well documented fact
that key
Secret Service agents were ordered to leave the JFK
Dallas motorcade, and the fact that RFK was shot at close range
in a pantry pass-through while surrounded by Secret Service
agents, leaves many to believe that members of the Secret
Service were either infiltrated, or were in on both plots.
Two commissions were formed
to investigate the assassination of President Kennedy. The first
Warren Commission, like the recent 9/11 Commission, was chock full of
people with compromised credentials. The Warren Commission made
the ridiculous claim of a lone shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald, even
though many witnesses testified to shots coming from the grassy
knoll.
Most indicting of all was the Dallas motorcycle officer's
radio mic that had the "on" switch stuck open, clearly registering multiple
rapid-fire gunshots, too quick to come from a slow loading,
bolt-action, carbine rifle from the far away book depository.
The second
commission to look into the Kennedy assassination, the House
Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), finally concluded
that the FBI investigation and the Warren Commission Report were
seriously flawed and that there had indeed been a conspiracy,
one which more than likely involved multiple shooters.
In 1979, the HSCA
concluded that at least four shots were fired and that there was
a high probability that two assassins fired at Kennedy,
catching him in a crossfire. They also concluded that it was
likely a conspiracy, but that was as
far as any further investigation would ever go.
Why?
The House Select Committee
on Assassinations (HSCA), had
officially indicated that a conspiracy was indeed involved, and yet
no further investigation was ever forthcoming.
Most intriguing, if not
very telling.

Kennedy’s assassination. LBJ had myriad connections and accomplices in the
state. Texas Governor John Connelly certainly brought questions onto himself
with his immortal words, “My God, they’re going to kill us all.” With that
historical statement, Connelly made two curious distinctions.
1) He indicated foreknowledge by saying, “kill
us all.” Why ever would Connelly think that they weren’t all to be killed in
the first place?
2) He referenced a coup of more than one by saying “they.”
How did he know there was more than one shooter, when the government’s own
Warren Commission said it was Lee Harvey Oswald who was alleged to be the
lone shooter?
Very curious words to be first out of the mouth under gunfire,
rather than, "shit!" or "get down!" But Connelly's first thought was that
"they" were going to kill "us all." He made a clear cut distinction regarding
a perpetrator, rather than the act of assault itself.

Military Industrial Complex Gone Wild
When
you are outspending the rest of the world combined, the question has to be
asked, why? For what justifiable reason?
The
2011 DOD budget will be $708-billion dollars. That is a HUGE number,
especially considering the military spending graph we looked at earlier.
Most people might think that if you were outspending your potential
opponents on a scale of 2 to 1, you would be in very good shape as far as a
formidable military deterrent, but when that number is at an overwhelming
and daunting 6 to 1, that is outrageous behavior for any civilization and a
clear sign of government defense spending gone completely awry.
The sad
thing is, that 6 to 1 ratio versus Russia, is by far the lowest when
compared with other nations. The ratio jumps to 7 to 1 against China and
grows exponentially larger as the potential adversary gets smaller. That is
without a doubt an excess of military spending that arguably warrants no
justification.
In all of that, reportedly
$56-billion is assigned for black projects that are kept from
the American public, but how do we really
know that is all there is when it comes to those secret buried programs?
Make no
mistake about it, immense
volumes of cash flow through the military industrial complex. That much is
an understatement.
One thing that would amaze many
is how much our government has invested in non-lethal weaponry. Our taxpayer
money goes to developing weapons to defeat a civilian population. John B.
Alexander was the overseer of the non-lethal weapons program through DARPA,
the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Don't be fooled into
believing that non-lethal weaponry is to fight wars with. It is quite simply
for the suppression and control of mass public gatherings and protests, an
integral cog for controlling an unruly mass that might have a French-style
revolution in mind.
Eisenhower, a five-star General,
warned
us of the Military Industrial Complex. This was indeed a remarkable
event to take note of. Not only was Eisenhower an outgoing U.S. President,
but perhaps most notably, he was a military "lifer." For a person of
Ike's political position and military stature to issue such a dire warning
speaks volumes as to the viability of the threat that he foresaw and gives
credible merit to his warning.
On January 17, 1961, Eisenhower said...
Until the latest
of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments
industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as
required, make swords as well. But we can no longer risk
emergency improvisation of national defense. We have been
compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast
proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and
women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We
annually spend on military security alone more than the net
income of all United States cooperations -- corporations.
Now this
conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large
arms industry is new in the American experience. The total
influence -- economic, political, even spiritual -- is felt in
every city, every Statehouse, every office of the Federal
government. We recognize the imperative need for this
development. Yet, we must not fail to comprehend its grave
implications. Our toil, resources, and livelihood are all
involved. So is the very structure of our society.
In the councils
of government, we must guard against the acquisition of
unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the
military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous
rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never
let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or
democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only
an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper
meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense
with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and
liberty may prosper together.
Just a little over three months
later, 105 days to be exact, incoming President Kennedy also
gave his own dire warning to nation, delivered to the newspaper
association, with his secret societies speech on April 27, 1961.
And yet the national media did
not print any of it. They simply were not allowed to.
And today, Eisenhower's fear of
an unchecked military industrial complex reigns supreme, guided
and controlled by the very powers and secret societies that
Kennedy warned of.
If we could only
reign in the insatiable appetite of the defense industry and say
no to endless war, think of the way society would improve for
the better of all, poor and rich:
Provide free health care
Provide free education
Provide better food for schools
Provide food for children and the
poor
Provide shelter for the homeless
Advance society faster
technologically
Stimulate the economy
It is even suggested that we could forgive and cancel
all third-world debt.
Some experts believe we could achieve
all of this for
between $200-billion to $300-billion annually over the next 10 years.
Remember, this is throwing tens-of-BILLIONS of new
dollars at programs that currently operate without these extra
multi-billions.
This would leave our national defense spending at around $400-billion
per year,
still far outspending our adversaries.
For some arguably insane reason
though, US military spending is through the roof. There are some
however who believe this is exactly what the doctor ordered.
The plans for
Continuity of Government (1980's Ollie North
Testimony)
The Project For A New American Century
When George HW Bush was defeated by Bill
Clinton, the right-wing agenda came to a screeching halt and
Bush was unable to accomplish his publicly stated goal for a New
World Order.
It was during the Clinton years that a group of
far-right extremists would coalesce together, calling themselves
the PNAC (Project for a New American Century). This group was
allied with many right-wing think tanks.
They believed that America was at the height of its power and
that it needed to assert itself in the world and take control
while we were the lone super-power.
During the last year of the George HW Bush
administration, Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, a
far right neo-conservative penned a document titled, "1992
Defense Planning Guidance", later to become known as the
Wolfowitz doctrine. In the paper, he called for a dramatic
increase in U.S. defense spending. Most heinously of all, he
wrote that the U.S. should consider initiating aggressive
pre-emptive military action, an unheard of premise, at least
publicly, under U.S. law. Wolfowitz went so far as to advocate
the use of military force, even without allied support, for the
sole purpose of preventing any future rivals to U.S. power,
while securing world dominance over raw materials, most
especially, Middle-eastern oil.
The PNAC three: Cheney, Rumsfeld,
Wolfowitz.
In September of 2000, the
group released its manifesto entitled, "Rebuilding
America's Defenses" In it they brazenly proposed an increase in
defense spending by one hundred billion dollars. They also openly talked of
denying others from gaining a strategic foothold in outer space. The main
premise for this extremely far-right blueprint was to "boldly and
purposefully promote American principles abroad," adopting a much more
aggressive foreign policy, one which embraced American use of pre-emptive
offensive force wherever deemed necessary. The document also stated that the
U.S. should
set about to "shape circumstances before crises arrived."
This is all clearly quite contrary
to long established American principles and would more than likely have been
met with fierce resistance from not only the American public, but
politicians from both sides of the aisle in Congress, if they had embarked
upon it without the extreme emotional prejudice of "a new Pear Harbor."
Such a key point was not lost on this group.
Extreme
doubt was cast as to how fast these aims could be achieved, even under a
right-wing administration.
They needed a catalyst that would force Congress
and the public to go along with their plan for imperialism and power.
They wrote the following in their manifesto for world dominance.
"Further, the process of transformation, even if
it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some
catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor."
What an audacious comment to
make. This is a conspicuously prescient remark that cannot be
dismissed lightly. For such a calculated scheme to come together
under coincidence is to forgo all sentient reasoning for
ignorant naivety.
As convenience would have it, less than
one year after the publication of this unethical manifesto, a
select group of PNAC individuals were placed into offices of
high power under the Bush II administration, and they
conveniently received their new Pearl Harbor on September
the 11th, 2001. The gateway of opportunity for their brazen plan
for US domination was suddenly now open for exploitation. A
coincidental result of the 9/11 attacks just so happened to help
further their extreme far right agenda.
Who were some of the individuals that made up
this infamous group of power? The list is a who's who of the
Bush II administration, many of whom helped lead us into the
wars of Afghanistan and Iraq. The members were all extreme right
wing neo-conservative Republicans, nicknamed by the press as
"neocons."

It's quite easy to understand how a focused
large collective group such as that, all sharing extremely influential
positions of power and all with the same ideals,
could use an
event to lead this country in possibly the wrong direction,
one
that just happens to coincide with the stated doctrine of their
far right group.
Yeah, what a... "coincidence."
Right...
Other influential PNAC members are conservative
TV commentators William Kristol and William J. Bennett,
presidential brother and governor of Florida, Jeb Bush, former
vice president Dan Quayle and former presidential hopeful Steve
Forbes, to name but just a few very high profile far-right
figures.
It was the grand wisdom of this think-tank to see
our nation begin the use of pre-emptive warfare, something which
our country has never publicly stood for in the past.
With so many from this far-right group
infiltrated and embedded into extremely high positions of power
within the US government, it is somewhat understandable that so
many have suspected and even openly accused this organization
of, at the very least, either favoring complicity in the 9/11
attacks, or at the far worst, having a guiding hand in their
fruition.
One can only hope and pray that there is a more
plausible answer to this certainly questionable coincidence in
timing for such an egregious act against our country.

The
9/11 Event
Those
accepting the official story simply do not realize that there
are numerous, outlandish, incongruities and coincidences to the
9/11 story that beg for more investigation. Those that are not
part of the 9/11 truth movement naively think that the 9/11
Commission thoroughly investigated the worst attack ever on
American soil. They couldn't be more mistaken.
Many of those
who believe the official government version, have never looked
seriously into the evidence from 9/11. In all fairness to the
victims and their families, please review the following in
consideration for a new 9/11 investigation:
First off, not
only did Bush not want a 9/11 investigation, openly resisting
the formation of an independent commission for 441 days, the
Bush administration also placed a lot of restrictions on the
investigation right from the start. If the truth was to be
found, it would be exceedingly difficult with the following
limitations placed upon the 9/11 Commission.
Very little funding provided to find answers.
Timetable placed, limiting amount of
investigation.
Limited the scope and extent of the
investigation.
Limited the number of Commission members to see
evidence.
Who in their right mind limits the duration of
a criminal investigation? To do so is the antithesis of a good
investigation. If you want all the answers, you need two key
things, time and the determined resolve to make
the most of it. Limiting the time restricts one thing,
the amount of information that can be uncovered in a short
period. You're not going to find out as much as you would in a
real investigation that had no time constraints.
Why in the world would you ever limit the
scope and extent of the biggest ever criminal investigation in
history? The crime of the century has been pulled off, so how do
you pull back when it comes to investigating it? Why ever
would you hold back? Without a dedicated resolve to find the
truth, it certainly leaves room for many to wonder as to the
quality of the effort.
Limiting the number of your investigators to
see the evidence was another weird nuance that was special to
the commission. Why handicap your investigative team by limiting
certain members from the one thing that an investigator has to
see or find in an investigation, evidence? What sense
does that make? Some have full clearance while others do not?
Seriously?? C'mon...
You either trust your team to do a thorough
investigation, or you don't. All members need to see
all the evidence, period. So why didn't that happen?
9/11
Commission co-chair Thomas Kean told the National Press Club on
the 2006 9/11 anniversary that the commission was "set up to
fail right from the start." He cited the lack of funding and
investigative time, plus extreme political duress, as major
obstacles in their way.
But It's All Too Preposterous!
A large hurdle
that the average American has to overcome is the fact that any
nefarious organization or covert group within our own government
would, or could, be complicit, or look the other way in such a
plan, let alone actually conceive of such a heinous idea.
Would anyone
in our government ever actually conceive of staging an event in
order to further a political or military agenda?
Remember the first World Trade
Center bombing in 1993? The Yamzi Yousef story, where the
FBI initiated the bomb plot and
then reportedly provided the actual explosives for the
bombing.
Needless to
say, history does not always leave the best memories.
There have
always been defense hawks on Capitol Hill who are constantly on
the lookout for an event that they can use and manipulate in
order to justify further defense spending, or advance specific
geopolitical agendas. That is the unfortunate state of politics
in Washington DC and big money defense contracts.
(1) World
Trade Center Building 7 Implodes Just Like WTC 1 & 2
Not two, but
three towers collapsed in less than :10 seconds on 9/11. The
other tower, World Trade Center 7, the Salomon Building, was
never hit by an airplane, yet dropped in perfect symmetrical
fashion, much like towers one and two, falling neatly into its
own footprint.
This building
is the perfect example of a controlled demolition. It falls
perfectly in free fall, with no resistance. For those that have
never seen building 7 collapse, this should no doubt be highly
intriguing at this point. The thing you may find even more
interesting is that the 9/11 Commission said nothing about this
building collapsing in its final report. Nothing whatsoever.
A 47-story
building, not hit by an airplane, collapses just like the other
two towers, in less than ten seconds, and those investigating
didn't feel the need to address WTC 7 in their report? One might
think they would, especially since there were so many important
government agencies in that building, yet not one mention in the
9/11 Report. How weird is that?
(2) Dick
Cheney Tracked Pentagon Attack Plane 50 Miles Out!
Probably as
alarming as the collapse of WTC 7 are the actions of Dick Cheney
after the second tower was hit. Cheney was rushed to the
Presidential Emergency Operating Center (PEOC) by Secret
Servicemen immediately following the attack on the second tower.
What is particularly odd is what Cheney did once he got there.
DOT head
Norman Mineta was also in the PEOC that morning. He testified
under oath that Cheney was tracking flight 77 from well over 50
miles out, before it hit the Pentagon. According to Mineta's
9/11 Commission testimony:
"During the time that the
airplane was coming into the Pentagon, there was a young man who
would come in and say to the Vice President, 'The plane is 50
miles out.' 'The plane is 30 miles out.' And when it got down to
'The plane is 10 miles out' the young man said to the Vice
President, 'Do the orders still stand.' And the Vice President
turned and whipped his neck around and said, 'Of course the
orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?'"
-Testimony of U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta before
the 9/11 Commission. (5/23/03)
Even with
1960's missile technology, the military could have easily shot
that airplane down from that distance. Easily. So why wasn't it
then? Why did the young man question Cheney's order and why did
Cheney get so upset when he was asked about it?
Was the order
Cheney gave a stand-down order? Why was the plane never pursued
or shot at, let alone shot down? Again, Cheney tracked it from
the command center from well over 50 miles out!
How does the
9/11 Commission fulfill its investigative duty with no challenge
or follow up to Norman Mineta's testimony regarding Cheney
tracking the plane on radar?
(3)
High-Tech Military Explosives Residue Found
A group of
noted scientists and researchers has found conclusive evidence
of explosive residue within four separate dust samples from the
WTC site. The substance found was thermate, a high tech version
of thermite, an advanced military explosive that requires a
security clearance. Engineered by the military, thermate is
combustible at much lower temperatures than thermite, plus it
burns far hotter, making it an effective cutting charge for
steel beams.
The scientists
found not only spent thermate residue, but also active thermate,
not yet ignited. Why there would be thermate mixed in with the
WTC debris is a very good question to ask someone.
The thermate
story has been out since 2009, but for some reason, those within
the major mainstream corporate media never addressed it at all,
even though many network anchors initially reported that the
destruction looked exactly like a controlled demolition.
Each tower
dropped in :10 seconds or less. Even though military thermate
evidence has been found that supports the theory of a controlled
demolition, the government continues to deny requests to re-open
the investigation.
Why?
The government
has failed to enlist or join in any collaborative efforts with
those independent scientists who discovered the material, to
officially test and verify the scientific thermate findings.
That in itself is quite telling.
This one
single piece of evidence all by itself ought to be enough to
open a new 9/11 investigation. Finding a high-tech military
grade explosive is clearly something to stand up and take note
of.
For the
record, NIST says that it did not bother to perform any tests at
all for explosives residue.
So much for a
thorough investigation.
(4) Many Of
The Alleged Hijackers Are Still Alive
Many of the
alleged 9/11 hijackers are still alive and well, living in the
middle east. This has been well established already by the BBC
and other foreign news media. Anywhere from six to nine are said
to be alive. Many have been found by the media, which leads to
the trillion-dollar question, if these Saudis didn't do it, then
who did?
Many do not
even know this fact and still think the original suspects are
guilty to this very day. That isn't exactly setting the truth
straight for the official record.
You would
think that this would concern someone in the government. Aren't
we trying to find all those responsible for the 9/11 event?
If these guys
didn't pull off the 9/11 hijackings, then who did?
If not them,
then who was responsible for the 9/11 attacks?
(5) The
Right-Handed Fake Osama Video That Claims Credit For 9/11
One of the
most glaring pieces of evidence pointing to a cover-up of 9/11
is the release of a particular video, so obviously fake, that
one has to wonder about the people working at our intelligence
agencies that sanctioned it.
The face alone
ought to be enough to convince anyone that indeed this is a bad
Halloween impersonation, however, the purported Osama also makes
a major telltale gaffe in the video, revealing this calculated
attempt at deception... the imposter eats, drinks, writes and
gestures, all with his right hand. Again, this is an obvious key
point since Osama is left-handed. (see: FBI Wanted Poster )
Pause the
video at 32:44. Watch it again from 33:01 through 33:08. The guy
in the video is clearly right-handed, not left.
How stupid can
you be when trying to fake a video impersonation of Osama?
How stupid, or
complicit, does this make the media look for selling this
obvious video fake to the public? Out of all the news agencies,
not one single person caught this? Not even one intrepid
reporter?
NewsFocus has
posted the fake Osama video online for downloading at the link
pasted below. It is 32.6 MB in size will take some time to
download, depending on your modem speed.
After watching
the video, ask yourself how the media missed this obvious con
job?
Is this
blatant incompetence by every single media outlet, or is it
collusion in a national cover-up?
It should be
noted that immediately following 9/11, Bin Laden sent a message
stating adamantly and unequivocally that he was not involved in
the attacks.
So why is
someone faking Osama videos to claim that he is responsible?
Why did the
Bush administration pass off an obvious fake imposter to the
media as the real Bin Laden? Was it because they purposefully
wanted to fan the fears of the American people, so that the
administration could bankroll their war agenda?
By the way, if
you look at the FBI Most Wanted poster for Osama, you should
note that he is not wanted in connection with 9/11. The
FBI only wants him for other crimes, the August 7, 1998,
bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam,
Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya.
No 9/11
hijackings are mentioned, as well as no World Trade Center
attacks, and no Pentagon attack charges. None whatsoever.
When asked,
the FBI says point blank that it has no hard evidence connecting
Bin Laden to 9/11.
Nevertheless,
it seems that someone is trying very hard to make that false
case with the American people and the world, with the U.S. media
acting as a witting pawn in it all.
Though many
internationally believe that Osama is long since dead, it is
quite clear that someone has gone out of their way to make
people believe he is not.
You see, if
"the boogey man" lives, then so also does war, along with its
multi-trillion dollar industry of immoral war profits.
As Smedley D.
Butler once wrote, "War Is A Racket."
(6)
Conflicting Evidence Found
In New York
City, a jet engine was found that is said to not be typical of a
757 aircraft.
In the
Pentagon, a wheel assembly and a jet turbine were found that
were also reported to not to be from a 757.
Where did
these non-757 parts come from?
Did something
else strike the WTC towers and the Pentagon?
Numerous
military and aviation officials have said emphatically that a
757 could not have flown the impossible maneuvers that the
attacking DC craft performed over the Pentagon. Air Traffic
Control operators are on record as saying they thought they were
witnessing a military aircraft on their screens, due to its
precision high-speed aerobatic movement.
The existence
of physical evidence that does not fit the perceived nature of
the crime is troubling and begs for more investigation. To
dismiss these pieces of evidence out of hand would be tantamount
to ignorance or complicity. If these pieces don't add up or make
sense with the official story, then we need to know why.
Re-Open The Investigation
Any one of
these five reasons ought to be enough to warrant re-opening the
9/11 investigation. How these points can be accepted in their
totality without a call for a new investigation is
unconscionable.
These are
merely the glaring omissions, only a few of the many
incongruities and coincidences that we have been told to swallow
as part of the official story.
Questions such
as these should call for an immediate re-opening of the 9/11
case and begin an all new investigation into the event.
Other Tenable 9/11
Observations & Questions
Aside from the
top reasons given for re-opening the 9/11 investigation, there
are also many other irreconcilable issues to address when it
comes to the official story. Combined with the first five
reasons above for a new investigation, the following extra
points from the event should lend further merit for
consideration.
Impossible for buildings to fall that fast,
unless controlled demo.
Kerosene and office furniture are incapable of
creating temps to melt or soften steel. Yet we had rivers of
molten steel for nearly two months after 9/11, even after
being doused repeatedly with water.
No fires affected the lower floors of either
WTC 1 or 2.
Not one, but three steel frame high rise
buildings free-fell within seconds into their own footprints,
for the first time ever in history.
Physically impossible for a hollow aluminum
plane to fly through three rings of solid steel reinforced
concrete at the the Pentagon.
Three rings of the Pentagon were breached. (Was
this a missile?)
No wing impact or engine marks on the face of
the Pentagon.
No large plane parts found at Pentagon or in
Pennsylvania.
Debris field scattered in Pennsylvania over six
to eight miles.
Four coincidental terrorist war games scheduled
on the same day.
NORAD defeated three times. (assuming they took
out flight 93)
DC emergency dispatch tapes and video are still
classified.
The emergency fuel tanks were never reported to
blow at WTC 7. What caused the collapse with only a few small
fires burning?
Damning 9/11 Circumstantial
Evidence To Consider
As if these
questions of themselves aren't enough, we also have the
following disturbing facts to reconcile, including elected
officials who were arguably derelict in their duties on 9/11.
Our top officials did not react as they were supposed to in
regards to a national emergency, especially with the nation
under attack. The inaction of each of these figures had a
discernable effect on the reaction of our government during a
time of attack on our country. (For one figure, it wasn't
inaction as much as it was an admission that brought scrutiny in
his direction.)
The fact that
so many key high ranking officials are noted as being grossly
neglect in their official duties to the nation, is what is
suggestive to many from around the world of a powerful inner
cabal within our government.
Please
consider the following:
Fact:
George W. Bush sat in a Florida classroom and was derelict of
duty as Commander in Chief while we were under attack. He gave
no orders to Chief of Staff Andrew Card. Bush said and did
absolutely nothing. The leader of the free world had just been
told that for the first time since our nation’s independence,
the mainland of the United States of America was under attack,
yet he just sat there. He even did a short photo-op with the
teacher afterwards, so he was clearly in no hurry whatsoever to
see if we were being attacked anywhere else, like maybe Chicago
or Los Angeles, or perhaps even Washington DC.
Fact:
Donald Rumsfeld left his post and was derelict of duty, going
outside instead, to the Pentagon lawn, sure to be photographed
to corroborate his critical absence from the command loop.
Rumsfeld had no business being away from the war room, where his
official duty was to direct an effective defense of the nation.
In light of the military personnel there, the single presence of
Donald Rumsfeld on the Pentagon lawn helping out with a
stretcher did not add to the rescue effort, however his single
detraction from the chain of command was an egregious breach of
military protocol, directly impeding the proper defense of the
country during an attack.
Fact:
Dick Cheney was in the the Presidential Emergency Operations
Center (PEOC) bunker beneath the White House on the morning of
9/11. Cheney was rushed there by Secret Service agents after the
2nd plane hit. DOT Secretary Norman Mineta testified before the
9/11 Commission that Cheney tracked the Pentagon attack plane
from well over 50 miles out, before it had struck. Even with
1960's missile technology we could have blown that plane
(missile) out of the air easily, but Cheney didn’t. When pressed
by a young man as to whether the orders still stand, Cheney
became visibly angry and whipped his neck around declaring, “Of
course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the
contrary?” It wasn't too long after that the Pentagon was hit.

Fact:
Rudy Giuliani told ABC's Peter Jennings live on the air that he
was told the World Trade Center was going to collapse, but he
now steadfastly denies he was ever told this. Why would Giuliani
publicly claim that he was told the buildings would collapse and
then refute that admission later, as if he never said it? He
plainly stated to ABC, "We were told the World Trade Center was
going to collapse." This is an alarming statement since no one
had any way to know the buildings would collapse, considering
this had never ever happened before. In light of the fact that
the fires burned only a short duration (20 minutes or less) and
there were no fires below the 78th floor to undermine the entire
structure, it is hard to understand how anyone could have
possibly known the buildings were going to implode and collapse.
One can only surmise this is the reason why Giuliani now
vehemently denies being forewarned about the WTC destruction.

Who Profited From 9/11 And Its
Initiated After-Effects?
The most
common principle of all in the investigation of large crimes is
to ask, who benefited? As Watergate informant 'Deep Throat' once
told Washington Post investigative reporter Bob Woodward,
"follow the money." That reasoning is most always still valid
when it comes to high crimes, but not all nefarious endeavors
are so easily tracked, especially in cases of state sponsored
activity. Power and control are also an integral part of the
equation.
So with these
thoughts in mind, who truly did benefit from 9/11?
The United States (new strategic middle east
foothold, with oil & gas)
The military industrial complex (hundreds of
billions in war profits)
Department of Defense (budgets greatly
increased)
U.S. intelligence services (budgets greatly
increased)
PNAC (policies for U.S. world dominance
furthered)
Larry Silverstein (received $4-billion in
insurance money)
Put Option Investors (Alleged CIA investors
made fortunes)
Bush family (Oil investments, Carlyle Group war
profits)
Dick Cheney (Halliburton war profits)
Israel (U.S. fights its enemies for them)
And who were
the biggest losers from 9/11?
Afghanistan people (citizens murdered, country
ravaged)
Iraqi people (citizens murdered, country
ravaged)
U.S. people (Constitutional rights taken with
Patriot Act)
Those involved
in any orchestrated profits from this deviously engineered
tragedy clearly have no moral scruples, nor any human integrity.
Their avarice will one day surely be their undoing.
Just How Far Would Someone Go?
Many falsely
believe that factions within our government could never run amuck
and pull off such outlandish feats of aggression for political
or intelligence gain.
When people of
power and great wealth collude together for empire and profit,
beware, for big lies will be told in order to sell a false
illusion, one which all but ensures the success of their plot
and guarantees their profit.
Fortunately we
have some damning instances, the ones that have been caught, where we
now have official documentation on record, proving not only
their existence, but of an even larger government role.
Gulf of Tonkin Attack: This was staged to
falsely push the U.S. into the Viet Nam war, killing tens of
thousands of Americans and Vietnamese.
Operation Northwoods: United States document
that planned for the shooting down a civilian U.S.
airliner and blaming it on the Cubans so that we could go to
war against them.
Iraq War Invasion: Bush and Cheney lied about
weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in Iraq so that we could
overthrow our own installed puppet, Saddam Hussein in a war
for oil, basing rights, and the dollar.
Some might
readily say that these attacks weren't planned against the U.S.
which would be true, but that tends to easily dismiss the
thousands of young men and women that we send to needlessly die
for us in fabricated wars for empire and profit.
This is all
done based on either a total political lie, or else a U.S.
alphabet agency-backed coup. More often than not, a combination
of both.
In these
consciously manufactured, immoral plans, many hundreds of
thousands, if not millions of innocent civilians are killed...
murdered, due to an illegal war for profit and empire.
The fact is,
as documented above, it is clearly very possible for factions
within our government to misuse power and authority in order to
support a contrary ideology, or the direct benefit of an elite
order or a select few. With but a few lies exposed in the light
for all to see, it makes you wonder how many lies and secrets we
haven't caught on to yet.
To point out
the obvious, we've used 9/11 as an excuse for illegal wars of
aggression with Afghanistan and Iraq, based upon plans
already drawn up before 9/11. As a result, the U.S. has obtained
invaluable and long desired gas and pipeline routes that will
reap profiteering oil corporations literally trillions in oil
profits.
So to
frivolously discount any inside government complicity or
intelligence help, just because it sounds unbelievable, is
foolish. As history has always shown, people will do anything
for money.
Reflecting
On 9/11
With the
preceding points in mind, most by now should begin to understand
the call from 51% of Americans who are already calling for a new
9/11 investigation. Yahoo! reports that the 9/11 topic has
become the all-time top search ever in their short history. Many
people in the United States and around the world are seeking the
truth through internet news sites because they simply do not buy
the official story, and they don't trust the mainstream
corporate media when it comes to 9/11 truth.
It is
absolutely impossible for "we the people" to
accept the official 9/11 Report as the complete truth when the 9/11 Commission did
not look at all the facts, nor the evidence in its entirety. It
is readily apparent that a new investigation is very much
necessary and justified in order to address legitimate questions
and concerns that remain over 9/11 evidence. Not only do we owe
it to ourselves to find the truth, we owe it to the surviving
9/11 family members for proper closure.
No true
American should stand in opposition to the people of the United
States concerning the pursuit of truth when it comes to
unanswered questions dealing with 9/11. The fact that there are
many important points overlooked by the previous 9/11 Commission
is disturbing in itself, but to let them go without further
scrutiny would be far worse.
The 9/11 event
is a story that most Americans don't know as well as they might
think, due in large part to the corporate media who have failed
miserably in their duty to investigate and report. The story
needs to come out, no matter where the chips fall.
The
observations raised in this article are indeed legitimate
concerns that need to be addressed and fully investigated to get
the complete picture of what actually happened on 9/11.
Considering the seriousness of the many questions still
unanswered, anything less than a new 9/11 investigation would be
morally negligent on our part, not to mention an inhumane
response from an intelligent, civilized society.
This time,
don't just ask for a new 9/11 investigation. This time, demand a
real 9/11 investigation.
No matter
where the evidence trail leads, it's time to finally answer the
unanswered and bring all of those responsible to justice.

Economic Collapse
The orchestration of the 2nd
great depression, undoing all that labor has won,
destruction of the middle class...
Our vaunted and oft heralded
system of capitalism has collapsed into ruin twice now in less
than 80 years, 1929 and 2008.
The President that led us into
the great depression was a Republican, Herbert Hoover. The
President who led us out of it was a Democrat, Franklin Delano
Roosevelt.
The President who led us into

Divide And Conquer Political division, racial division...
My kind of loyalty was loyalty to
one's country, not to its institutions or its office holders.
-Mark Twain
People need to understand that the real fight in this country isn't the
sideshow going on between our awful two-party system in which we are
politically enslaved. The real fight is class warfare between us and the
uber-rich...
(More to come...)
What’s It All About? Class Warfare
& World Domination
All in all, it's simply
class warfare, period.
The two-party political trap that this country is shackled with is being
manipulated the last decade to foment division in this country, all the
while the 1% that control it all make hay at our expense. The political
sideshow that we have been subjected to is a circus and nothing more.
Professor Carroll Quigley said in his contemporary classic
"Tragedy and Hope," that William C. Whitney and others of wealth in
the late 19th century developed a plan whereby they would control both major
political parties through financial contributions, and then have those
parties alternate power so that the public would think it had a choice.
That some people are of unscrupulous and immoral behavior
and actually took the time to think of such an idea is worrisome enough, but
the most worrisome fact of the matter is, there are deep enough pockets out
there that could easily fund such an endeavor. An enticing argument
could certainly be made that someone already has, but again, the left-right
divide is all nothing more than a sideshow, to keep us from a common focus,
bad government, no matter the party.
Michael Ruppert explained it quite well when
asked about democrats and republicans,
"It's organized crime. You call the Republicans the Genovese and
you call the Democrats the Gambinos."
Ruppert elaborated further, "The people at
the top they treat it like a crap game, like it's their crap
game, like they're making lots of money. Occasionally someone at
the table shoots each other, but the moment anything threatens
their crap game, they all unite to protect it."
We have been trained to look at politics as only left or right,
rather than the entire overall picture of what's best for
all of us. As a nation, we have essentially lost sight of the big
picture.
As it stands now, a federally funded two-party system is not
the best political model of representation for 300-million+ people of varying
ethnicities and cultures. It cannot possibly be, yet... so far it seems, we've
all been led along quite well enough into thinking that it is, haven't we?
People need to understand that the real fight in
this country isn't the sideshow going on between our awful
two-party system in which we are politically enslaved. The real
fight is class warfare between the rest of us and the uber-rich, the 1% that
own it all and pay little in taxes, hiding their assets while
exploiting every single tax loophole and offshore shelter that
they can.
Those in support of tax breaks
for the rich
should take a hard look at the August 2008 GAO report which
states quite clearly that nearly
two-thirds of U.S. companies and 68% of foreign corporations do
not pay federal income taxes, according to a congressional
report in August 2008. The Government Accountability Office
(GAO) examined samples of corporate tax returns filed between
1998 and 2005. In that time period, an annual average of 1.3
million U.S. companies and 39,000 foreign companies doing
business in the United States paid no income taxes -
despite having a combined $2.5 trillion in revenue.
These corporate free loaders
burden our tax-paid infrastructure by wearing down our roads
with their massive delivery trucks, yet they essentially leave
it up to us to pay the bill for our nation's highways and roads.
They burden us with environmental pollution, but expect the
American taxpayer to clean up after them for their repeated and
disastrous offenses. They fight for our retail patronage as well
as our tax money, then reap the benefits of wealth, yet
pay
no taxes back into a rigged system that is forced back
upon the middle and lower classes, leaving us to pay for
everything. Where is the fairness in that?
They deplete our raw materials for their own
profits, all the while destroying our basic infrastructure, such
as our roadways with their heavy trucks, or our environment with
their toxic pollution.
There is class warfare in this country, make no
mistake about it. Just as the super-rich tried to do-in FDR and
establish a fascist regime in America, with the Morgan family,
the DuPonts, the Remingtons and Prescott Bush's involvement,
etc, etc, (see bonus army revolution and General Smedley D.
Butler) they are now working to do it again.
“There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my
class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”
- Warren Buffett, 112606 NY Times
If the "St.
Ronnie" trickle down theory actually worked, then ask yourself
why the hell we spiraled into an economic meltdown WITHIN seven
to eight years after the Bush tax cuts for the 1% that own it
all?? This matter of factly proves that giving tax breaks to the
rich does not "trickle down" to the middle and lower
classes. If it did, we wouldn't be in the economic mess that
sprang from the final years of the Bush-Cheney administration.
This argument
on taxing the upper class truly has nothing to do with the
conservative far-right who support it. It could, for all intents
and purposes, be liberals espousing the same theory, for there
are rich progressives as well, but facts are what they are. The
Reagan "trickle-down" theorysimply does not
work.
The ultra-wealthy do nothing but pocket their profits and grow
richer and far more powerful when given generous tax breaks from
the government. This is proven historical fact, substantiated
beyond a shadow of a doubt by IRS data. The richest 400
Americans actually
doubled their incomes during the
Bush-Cheney years, all the while their tax rate plummeted
all the way from 29.4% down to 16.6%. In 2007, their average
income was $344.8-million per year, up from $263.3-million from
2006!
Oh the horror
and hardship. How ever do they pay their servants?
These ultra-wealthy
elite received a 27 percent increase
in their annual income. This is nine times the rate of increase
for the bottom 90 percent. Here's an extra piece to chew on.
Since 1992, the bottom 90 percent of Americans have had their
incomes rise by a mere 13 percent, compared with an outlandish
increase of 399 percent for the top 400, and yet in 2010, the Republicans are bashing the Obama
administration for having the temerity to undo the sinful
Bush-Cheney tax cuts for the rich.
Keep in mind
that these
are the same families that have changed the language of the
"estate tax" to the "death tax." The ultra-wealthy
want the middle and lower classes to falsely believe that there
is a tax upon our death, when nothing of the sort is true. What
is true is that there is a tax upon large lucrative estates of
the wealthy, an attempt to keep the outrageous vast fortunes of
this 1% in check, lest they become more powerful than the
government. They have manipulated the language to get the middle
and lower classes to say no to a tax that is meant only for the
wealthy upper class. Not only are they dishonest and greedy, but
conniving and immoral come to mind as well.
To quote the
fictitious character Dr. Smith, from the 1960's TV show Lost In
Space... "Oh the pain Will Robinson, Oh the pain."
The disparity of wealth in the world today is
an aberration for a self proclaimed civilized, moral society.
The divide that exists has grown ever wider between the rich and
the poor. According to a new study, the Credit Suisse Research
Institute in Zurich has found that the number of global
adults worth over $50 million each appears to be considerably
greater than a decade ago. Even with the financial industry
meltdown, Credit Suisse reports, “the past decade has been
especially conducive to the establishment and preservation of
large fortunes.”
The new
Global Wealth Report crunched
financial data from over 200 countries worldwide. The following
is what they found...
There are roughly 4.4 billion adults
combining for $194.5 trillion in world wealth.
The
world’s richest 1 percent hold over 43 percent of the
world’s wealth.
There are just over 1,000 billionaires
worldwide.
There are another 80,000 individuals worth
over $50 million each.
There are still another 24 million adults
worth between $1 million and $50 million.
Conversely, on the disproportionate end,
over 4.3 billion adults are not so fortunate.
Over 2/3rds of global adults have an
average wealth of less than $10,000.
About 1.1 billion of these adults hold a net
worth of less than $1,000.
Fact: No other nation on Earth has
as much total wealth as that of the United States.
The U.S. has 41 percent, of the world’s
millionaires, despite having only 5.2 percent of the world’s
population. That's an astounding figure to think about.
This glaring disparity has also made the
United States number one in the world for one other category,
total household debt.
What is increasingly clear is that
capitalism, in its
present form, is a perversion against humanity, no better than
the alleged oppressions of communism, or the fabricated false
charges that are made against socialism. Our capitalism has
sadly turned to fascism, with a fancy new name,
"corporatism."
No one wants
to admit we're under the trappings of fascism, so they try to
wrap it up in a new less-Nazi associatedterm.
Corporatism or fascism, whatever you want to call it, is a
system that looks at "we the people" as merely labor and
consumption.
Yes Dorothy, there is a huge
distinction in class in the U.S. This isn't just class warfare,
it's class Armageddon.
The New World Order: The Third Way
Global government is already here: the UN, the World Trade Organization,
and the International Court.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair was the
first to publicly embrace the new marketing term, "The Third
Way," but many political contemporaries also took hold of
the new NWO marketing phrase as well, such as then-President
Clinton. It was Blair who wrote, "The Third Way: New Politics
for the New Century" calling for a one world government.
The World Federalist Association
(WFA) goal is also for a one world federal government. In 1994
it published "The Genius of Federation: Why World Federation
Is the Answer to Global Problems."
In their treatise they say,
"Let the U.N. establish new agencies such as the International
Criminal Court... National sovereignty would be gradually eroded
until it is no longer an issue. Eventually a world federation
can be formally adopted with little resistance."
The WFA merged with the
"Campaign for United Nations Reform" in November 2003,
forming a new organization called "Citizens for Global
Solutions." Their new motto is "Building a World
Community Under Law."
Knock it all you want, but the
quest for a one world government is underway and has been since
your grandfather was little, very near the turn of the 20th
century. The quest for one world government may be benign and
just for some, but conversely is greatly biased for others who
hold a continual thirst for exploiting wealth and power, such as
would spring forth from such an unprecedented monolithic union.
The seeds were planted nearly a
century ago, but through the years the evidence has come forth
supporting the continued existence of an orchestrated endeavor
for a one world government.
“We shall have one world government whether or
not we like it. The only question is, whether world government
will be achieved by conquest or consent.” -James Warburg –
Council on Foreign Relations,
1950 before U.S. Senate.
One thing to understand is that a cabal this
large of the wealthy and elite has obviously coalesced over the
years due to tremendous ideological differences with our system
of government. There are those of great wealth who seek nothing
other than more wealth, power and/or acclaim for themselves. On
the other hand, there are also those of wealth, like perhaps
Bill Gates, who feel as though they are in a position to change
the world for the better. Like everything in life, there are two
sides to the coin. Two factions with the same goal, but not
exactly for the same purpose.
Not all of the ultra-wealthy have such beneficent
intentions. Some of those wealthy wish for a one world
government run by the central banks, with total power and
control over all. They have clearly duped the others into
following along.
Many times the altruistic subset of rich can get
caught up and entangled with the unscrupulous set and can be
easily swayed. One area where this appears to have happened is
the plan for a new world order, as mentioned by Paul Warburg.
Many appear to be in support of the plan, a one world government
ruled over by the wealthiest central bankers, however, not all
realize the adverse consequences of such a potentially dangerous
endeavor.
There are many arguments for why a one-world
system is attractive and most are quite easily understandable,
however, that ideology exists only in a perfect world, one in
which we clearly do not yet exist. Proponents for the NWO would
say that is because we have not yet created that order, but a
common moral center, without personal financial gain, is needed
first before such an idea can be a true altruistic plan for
success, as opposed to a nefarious plan of oppression.
While the intentions may be altruistic in their
basic concept, there are many issues to be resolved that must
contend with the concept of evil in a one world government.
Capitalism, as we embrace it today, would seem to be a clear
threat to that beneficent intent, if left unchecked in it’s
present form. If the world were to ever evolve to one unified
community, then the inherent nature of man must surely evolve
also, with more compassion and humility, while losing its
avarice.
With such a grandiose plan for international
integration being so far along at this point, we can only pray
that this coup is uncovered and stopped in time, before it is
too late, or that those with the best of intentions from this
group will take charge and steer this bold quest with compassion
and integrity, rather than greed. So far, it appears our best
hope is that a divide is created among the rich over the
fulfillment of this long standing plan. A change in direction is
needed for this impending revolutionary new world order.
Here is what mega-billionaire David Rockefeller
has said on the new world order:
"We are
grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time
Magazine and other great publications whose directors have
attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion
for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to
develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the
lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now
more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world
government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual
elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national
auto-determination practiced in past centuries." --David
Rockefeller, Baden-Baden, Germany 1991
Consider this
statement which also comes from Mr. Rockefeller:
"We are on the verge of a global
transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the
nations will accept the New World Order." --David
Rockefeller, UN 1994
As if that
isn't enough, don't forget this much scrutinized quote:
“Some even believe we
(Rockefeller family) are part of a secret cabal working against the best
interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as
‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a
more integrated global political and economic structure—one world, if you will.
If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.” -David
Rockefeller,
2002 Memoirs
What appears to be apparent is
that those of the elite uber-wealthy have concocted a plan and
are working toward a goal for global dominance. This was
admitted as much in 1950 to members of the U.S. Senate by none
other than Paul Warburg, a CFR member and one of the principal
architects of the Federal Reserve.
People such as Rockefeller and
Warburg make these admissions under the guise of a one world
system, void of nationalism, one which they claim would be free
of warfare. Keep in mind though that the act of war is to deter
aggression or to conquer an opposing force. With the world under
one rule of the mega-rich, why would war ever be needed again
when the people of the world would already be under a single
captive rule? Under a totalitarian one world rule, what hope
does mankind have for not being bound into slavery according to
social class?
(More to come...)
Summation
Just as this article began, I
will once again remind the reader of the two most important
thoughts to remember when assessing high crimes of the
ultra-wealthy and power elite:
(1) "Follow the money," because (2)
"money is power and power is control."
And remember one last thing. Once power is
given, or seized, it is extremely hard to unrest without
superior force and even greater power.
The truth is always a formidable foe, but it
only registers when there are ears to hear and intellect to
reason with. Sometime if the lie is loudest and more repetitive
the truth can become obfuscated and lost in the chatter, unless
those among the audience are willing to truly listen and
distinguish fact from fiction. Agendas perpetuate myth, but the
truth reflects reality and will always stand on its own without
passion and emotion.
When united, the people have the superior
force and the greater power, however, those at the top know
and understand this all too well, which is why they do their
best to keep their secrets hidden by blinding us with
disinformation and deceit, and also keeping us divided in a
combative two-party political system, all to safeguard their crimes while
keeping the vast majority of the populace in the dark.
To quote the X-Files once again, "the truth is
out there."

The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a
free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and
historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to
secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of
excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far
outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even
today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed
society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today,
there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if
our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave
danger that an announced need for increased security will be
seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very
limits of official censorship and concealment.

On April 25, 1949, Life
Magazine ran an article entitled, "Morgan The Great," where
historian Frederick Lewis Allen reported that "certain
chroniclers have arrived at the ingenious conclusion that the
Morgan interests took advantage of the unsettled conditions
during the autumn of 1907 to precipitate the panic, guiding it
shrewdly as it progressed so that it would kill off rival banks
and consolidate the preeminence of the banks within the Morgan
orbit."
[link]
Morgan has been described
as "an old hand at creating artificial panics." Allen
stated, "Such affairs were well
co-coordinated. Senator Robert Owen, a co-author of the Federal
Reserve Act, (who later deeply regretted his role), testified
before a Congressional Committee that the bank he owned received
from the National Bankers' Association what came to be know as
the Panic Circular of 1893. It established: 'You will at once
retire one-third of your circulation and call in one-half of

"The Panic of 1907 was artificially triggered to
elicit public acceptance of this idea. Snowballing bank runs
began after J.P. Morgan spread a rumor about the insolvency of
the Trust Company of America." He added, "Tragedy is the mother
of new directions. The Panic of 1907 spawned the Federal
Reserve."

Aaron Russo interviewed by Alex Jones
After rebuffing CFR recruitment by Rockefeller, Russo sadly died
from cancer in 2007.
Note: On October 23, 2007, talk show host Alex Jones has alleged
that Russo privately told him that he'd been threatened and thought his cancer
was the result of an attack.
Throughout history, it has been
the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should
have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most;
that has made it possible for evil to triumph. -Haile Selassie

There is a time when the
operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you
can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your
bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the
apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the
people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the
machine will be prevented from working at all!

Muse Hits The Nail On The Head
The English rock band
Muse apparently understands full
well the dire problems that currently exist in the world concerning the greater
"powers that be" and their attempt at a one world government and New World
Order. The group wrote and recorded a song called "Uprising" for their 2009
Album titled "The Resistance." The single was released on September 9th, 2009
and hit number one on the Billboard Alternative Music charts, staying there
for 17 weeks.
The
Uprising by Muse
Paranoia is in bloom,
The PR transmissions will resume
They'll try to push drugs that keep us all dumbed down
And hope that we will never see the truth around
(so come on)
Another promise, another seed
Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
And all the Green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
(so come on)
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
(so come on)
Interchanging mind control
Come let the revolution takes its toll
If you could flick the switch and open your third eye
You'd see that we should never be afraid to die
(so come on)
Rise up and take the power back
It's time the fat cats had a heart attack
They know that their time's coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not enslave us
We will be victorious

How The System Works
This is why they talk about population
control. Too many people are too hard to control.
On
The Rich Oligarchs of This World:
We are not their slaves, nor are we
servants to their institutions. We are not beneath the upper
class, as they would have us believe. As humans, we are their equal.
They are nothing without us,
for it is from us that they have labor and markets, and
most importantly their wealth. They have no
real wealth without us. We tire of dying in manufactured wars for
their prosperity. Their crimes against mankind, instigated for the
sake of their own personal wealth, will be exposed and will no
longer be tolerated.
They should have quit while they were ahead. They
had a good thing going, but they were too greedy. They stepped too
far with 9/11 and moved too fast with their plans for the New
World Order. There are those among their cabal who are now rightfully
scared. Thankfully there are also military leaders who are seeing the
light. The people of the world are waking up, and the
ultra-wealthy elite know it. "We the people" will rise up
and we will take them down. Their families will weep and
be forever humiliated by the shame of their patriarch's greed
and evil.
The people out number the elite
six billion to one! Make no mistake about it, one day the
masses
will rise up against their tyranny, and their oppressors will bow down to
"we the people."
These soulless ultra-wealthy parasites of mankind have overstepped the decency of humanity, and for that
they
will surely pay when they are brought to justice in an inevitable
day of reckoning. Whether it is 10 years from now, or even 50 years from
now, it will happen. The people will not be oppressed.
While they have taken many from us, such as
JFK, RFK and MLK, they only make
us stronger and far more determined. To borrow a line from a
contemporary American sci-fi movie classic, with slight modification,
"You may strike us down, but we will become more powerful than
you can possibly imagine."
God didn't let his people be oppressed in
Egypt. One thing is clear from the actions of those of
unfathomable wealth, they do not worship the same God that we
do. Theirs is an occult deception. They are fools to believe
anything less. Their time has been marked and it is coming to an
end soon. It has been prophesied about, it has been
written... it is inevitable.
A Message To The New World

"We The People" Say No To Your Plan For World Domination To
Enrich Yourselves
During times of
universal deceit, telling the truth becomes
a revolutionary act.

Ed Note:
Don't be a lemming. Do not take this author's word
for it. Research for yourself and find out the truth.
Think on your own. Find alternative press outside the corporate
media. Don't be caught up in left versus right. Reason the
facts. Big money controls the world and wants to fool you.
For the record: My life has been threatened once
already through a
calculated attempt to force me into a freeway accident.
(Two eyewitnesses were driving directly behind me and saw
the encounter as it unfolded.) Those with secrets to hide
have developed many 'accidents' to take out those who
would rat them out, such as, stroke, heart attack, cancer,
airplane crash, house fire, murder from crazed off the street
lunatic, and even suicide. To be clear, I would never
commit suicide, as they have alleged for heroes such as Hunter
S. Thompson, Steve Kangas, and many others. I am a most careful
person with eyes wide open.
