Voter suppression in Canada – apathy by design

On no less than three occasions during the national leaders’ TV debate Prime Minister Stephen Harper deflected assaults by insisting this election is “unnecessary.”
Why would he persist in repeating this tired refrain? Because it is not necessary to vote in an unnecessary election.
Indeed, at least one third of voters are already telling pollsters they have no intention of going to the polls. It is as if a malaise of political indifference has infected the national psyche. It has. This virus, which will keep so many of us bedridden on May 2nd, has a name: “Voter suppression.”  Apathy by design.
It’s the attack ads that were born in the USA
There is one national political party, the Conservatives, that benefits from voter apathy and is actively cultivating it. Behind its highly organized, committed and motivated base of support the Tories cultivate disgust and apathy in the rest of the electorate knowing the outcome will be electoral success.
We hear commentators lament Canada’s dwindling voter turnout. Elections Canada reports voter turnout in 2008 was the lowest ever … 58 per cent of those eligible, down five per cent from 2006 and down 17 per cent from an all time high in 1988.
Several explanations are given, but not the most important. Elections Canada cites: Little policy to galvanize voters; the global financial crisis; and, disenchantment amongst Liberals. It neglects to mention the big one: Voter suppression.
Sound Machiavellian? It is. It is a strategy of suppressing opposition turnout that has its roots in the US Republican Party. The goal is to increase the number of eligible voters who fail to vote because they believe politics is inherently corrupt.  Turnout suppression works best when the attacking party has a solid core of support more committed than its opponent.
The Hon. Carolyn Bennett (St. Paul’s Lib) raised the issue in March. “There is no question that people are concerned about all-time high cynicism. There is serious concern about negative advertising and the way that the party in power seems to be employing Republican voter suppression techniques.”
Green Party leader Elizabeth May also raised the alarm. “Attack ads are fundamentally anti-democratic. They discourage voters from showing up. I’m afraid this very anti-democratic strategy has come to Canada. It’s time to send it packing.”

“People around the world will risk their lives to get democracy and in Canada we appear to have people willing to deliberately poison democracy,” May said.

Conservative voter suppression has exposed us to relentless attack ads about Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff. He’s an ugly American, isn’t he? Just visiting?
Fear mongering at its finest in this anti-Liberal ad
Recently, the Tories raised the suppression stakes with human smuggling attack ads. Liberal MP Bob Rae says these ads cross the line. “It is based on fear, and is directly prejudicial to a fair determination of refugee claims that are currently being considered.” He focused on pictures of the MV Sun Sea and superimposed statements about “crimes,” “smugglers,” and attacks on “Ignatieff and his reckless coalition.”
Another Conservative attack ad contends that an opposition “coalition” would impose “a brand new tax that’d have you paying up to $75 more for iPods, smart phones, personal video recorders, MP3 players and just about anything with a hard drive.”
Tory flash mob … not true, but effective
The Liberals did vote for a Bloc motion last year that supported, in principle, the idea of possible levies on certain electronic devices to help compensate songwriters and other creators of content. But in December, the party announced it would not support an iPod tax. Nevertheless Tories have orchestrated flash mobs in shopping malls to peddle the myth.

Venomous and inaccurate attack ads are just one of many tactics. More sophisticted techniques are used in the US to sour opponents. One is a ”push poll,” a smear campaign that sounds like a neutral phone survey. As well, direct mail efforts are used to keep people home.

The Republican Party once sent ”voter registration bulletins” to 150,000 African-Americans, who tend to be Democrats, warning them that if they showed up to vote they would be questioned about their residency.

This strategy to sully the process so completely that we lose interest in voting altogether has been described as ”one of the dirty little secrets of political consultants.”

(2)   REGRETS:   I lost the source of this article.   It has good information.  But there is a wrong assumption:  that voter suppression techniques are not already being used in Canada. 
The comments to the article included accounts of people’s experience.  Somehow that got lost, along with the URL.

What can we do to prevent voter suppression from coming to Canada?

The best prevention against vote suppression is education. The main information for source about the election is Elections Ontario. Ensuring their website provides an opportunity to report improper practices and educated voters on what to look out for would be useful.

More significant moves are also possible. California recently introduced a Voter Intimidation Restitution Fund, which uses the fines from those convicted of vote suppression crimes to assist in paying for voter education initiatives to prevent misinformation in the first place. Ontario should consider moving to a similar fund if these imported techniques gain any foothold here.

Finally, Elections Ontario needs to treat voter suppression as the crime it is. The first line of defence is the Election Act, which bans voter interference and attempts to mislead voters about where to cast their ballots.

As you can see, the penalties for such crimes are severe, including up to $25,000 in fines and two years less a day in prison, as well as loss of any provincial office and an eight year ban from holding a provincial office:

Interference with exercise of vote

96.2 (1) A person who, inside or outside Ontario, prevents another person from voting or impedes or otherwise interferes with the person’s exercise of the vote is guilty of an offence and on conviction is liable to a fine of not more than $5,000. 2011, c. 17, s. 3.

Party to offence

(2) A person who, inside or outside Ontario, does anything for the purpose of aiding another person to commit the offence described in subsection (1), abets another person in committing it, or counsels or procures another person to commit it is a party to the offence. 2011, c. 17, s. 3.

Impersonation

96.3 A person who, inside or outside Ontario, falsely represents himself or herself to be any of the following is guilty of an offence and on conviction is liable to a fine of not more than $5,000:

1. An employee or agent of the office of the Chief Electoral Officer.

2. A person appointed under this Act.

3. A candidate or a person who is authorized by the candidate to act on his or her behalf.

4. A person who is authorized by a registered party or registered constituency association to act on its behalf. 2011, c. 17, s. 3.

General offence

97. Every person who contravenes any of the provisions of this Act, for which contravention no penalty is otherwise provided, is guilty of an offence and on conviction is liable to a fine of not more than $5,000. R.S.O. 1990, c. E.6, s. 97.

Corrupt practice

97.1 If, when a person is convicted of an offence under section 90, 94, 95, 96, 96.1, 96.2 or 96.3, the presiding judge finds that the offence was committed knowingly, the person is also guilty of a corrupt practice and is liable to one or both of the following:

1. A fine of not more than $25,000, instead of the fine that would otherwise apply.

2. Imprisonment for a term of not more than two years less a day. 2011, c. 17, s. 4.

Corrupt practice, effect of conviction

98. (1) A person who is convicted of a corrupt practice,

(a) shall forfeit any office to which he or she was elected; and

(b) is ineligible to stand as a candidate at any election or to hold any office at the nomination of the Crown or the Lieutenant Governor in Council until the eighth anniversary of the date of the official return.

However, all the legislation in the world won’t make a difference if the appropriate authorities will not treat voter suppression as the crime it is.

Much like auditors-general, who began to use their powers to uncover real problems of mismanagement, Elections Ontario needs to effectively expose wrong-doing in electioneering.

If there are examples of voter suppression in this election, Elections Ontario needs to be held responsible by the public to find the criminals involved and prosecute them to the fullest extent of their ability.

Kuala Lumpur tribunal: Bush and Blair guilty
A war crimes tribunal in Malaysia offers a devastating critique of international criminal law institutions today. By Richard Falk

http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2011/11/20111128105712109215.html

A tribunal in Malaysia’s capital found George W Bush and Tony Blair guilty of war crimes in Iraq [GALLO/GETTY]

In Kuala Lumpur, after two years of investigation by the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission (KLWCC), a tribunal (the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal, or KLWCT) consisting of five judges with judicial and academic backgrounds reached a unanimous verdict that found George W Bush and Tony Blair guilty of crimes against peace, crimes against humanity, and genocide as a result of their roles in the Iraq War.

The proceedings took place over a four-day period from November 19-22, and included an opportunity for court-appointed defense counsel to offer the tribunal arguments and evidence on behalf of the absent defendants. They had been invited to offer their own defense or send a representative, but declined to do so. The prosecution team was headed by two prominent legal personalities with strong professional legal credentials: Gurdeal Singh Nijar and Francis Boyle. The verdict issued on November 22, 2011 happens to coincide with the 48th anniversary of the assassination of John F Kennedy.

The tribunal acknowledged that its verdict was not enforceable in a normal manner associated with a criminal court operating within a sovereign state or as constituted by international agreement, as is the case with the International Criminal Court. But the KLWCT followed a juridical procedure purported to operate in a legally responsible manner. This would endow its findings and recommendations with a legal weight expected to extend beyond a moral condemnation of the defendants, but in a manner that is not entirely evident.

The KLWCT added two “Orders” to its verdict that had been adopted in accordance with the charter of the KLWCC that controlled the operating framework of the tribunal: 1) Report the findings of guilt of the two accused former heads of state to the International Criminal Court in The Hague; and 2) Enter the names of Bush and Blair in the Register of War Criminals maintained by the KLWCC.

The tribunal also added several recommendations to its verdict: 1) Report findings in accord with Part VI (calling for future accountability) of the Nuremberg Judgment of 1945 addressing crimes of surviving political and military leaders of Nazi Germany; 2) File reports of genocide and crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court in The Hague; 3) Approach the UN General Assembly to pass a resolution demanding that the United States end its occupation of Iraq; 4) Communicate the findings of the tribunal to all members of the Rome Statute (which governs the International Criminal Court) and to all states asserting Universal Jurisdiction that allows for the prosecution of international crimes in national courts; and 5) Urge the UN Security Council to take responsibility to ensure that full sovereign rights are vested in the people of Iraq and that the independence of its government be protected by a UN peacekeeping force.

Mahathir Mohamed’s anti-war campaign

These civil society legal initiatives are an outgrowth of a longer-term project undertaken by the controversial former Malaysian head of state, Mahathir Mohamed, to challenge American-led militarism and to mobilise the global South to mount an all-out struggle against the war system.

This vision of a revitalised struggle against war and post-colonial imperialism was comprehensively set forth in Mahathir’s remarkable anti-war speech of February 24, 2003, while still prime minister, welcoming the Non-Aligned Movement to Kuala Lumpur for its thirteenth summit.

Included in his remarks on this occasion were the following assertions that prefigure the establishment of the KLWCC and KLWCT:

“War must be outlawed. That will have to be our struggle for now. We must struggle for justice and freedom from oppression, from economic hegemony. But we must remove the threat of war first. With this sword of Damocles hanging over our heads we can never succeed in advancing the interests of our countries.?War must therefore be made illegal. The enforcement of this must be by multilateral forces under the control of the United Nations. No single nation should be allowed to police the world, least of all to decide what action to take, [and] when.”

Mahathir stated clearly on that occasion that his intention in criminalising the behavior of aggressive warmaking and crimes against humanity was to bring relief to victimised peoples – with special reference to the Iraqis, who were about to be attacked a few weeks later; and the Palestinians, who had long endured mass dispossession and an oppressive occupation. This dedication of Mahathir to a world without war was reaffirmed through the establishment of the Kuala Lumpur Foundation to Criminalise War, and his inaugural speech opening a Criminalising War Conference on October 28, 2009.

On February 13, 2007 Mahathir called on the KLWCC to prepare a case against Bush and Blair, whom he held responsible for waging aggressive warfare against Iraq. Mahathir, an outspoken critic of the Iraq War and its aftermath, argued at the time that there existed a need for an alternative judicial forum to the ICC, which was unwilling to indict Western leaders. Mahathir was in effect insisting that no leader should any longer be able to escape accountability for such crimes against nations and peoples. He acknowledged with savage irony the limits of his proposed initiative: “We cannot arrest them, we cannot detain them, and we cannot hang them the way they hanged Saddam Hussein.” Mahathir also contended that, “The one punishment that most leaders are afraid of is to go down in history with a certain label attached to them … In history books they should be written down as war criminals and this is the kind of punishment we can make to them”.

With this remark, Mahathir prefigured the KLWCC register of war criminals that has inscribed the names of those convicted by the KLWCT. Will it matter? Does such a listing have traction in our world?

In his 2007 statement, Mahathir promised that a future KLWCT would not, in his words, be “like the ‘kangaroo court’ that tried Saddam”. Truly, the courtroom proceedings against Saddam Hussein was a sham trial excluding much relevant evidence, disallowing any meaningful defense, and culminating in a grotesque and discrediting execution. Saddam Hussein was subject to prosecution for multiple crimes against humanity, as well as crimes against peace, but the formally “correct” trappings of a trial could not obscure the fact that this was a disgraceful instance of victors’ justice. Of course, the media, to the extent that it notices civil society initiatives at all, condemns them in precisely the same rhetoric that Mahathir used to attack the Saddam trial, insisting that the KLWCT is a “kangaroo court” or a “circus”. The Western media, without exception, has ignored this proceeding against Bush and Blair, presumably considering it as irrelevant and a travesty of the law, while giving considerable attention to the almost concurrent UN-backed Cambodia War Crimes Tribunal prosecuting surviving Khmer Rouge operatives accused of genocidal behavior in the 1970s. For the global media, the auspices make all the difference.

Universal jurisdiction

The KLWCT did not occur entirely in a jurisprudential vacuum. It has long been acknowledged that domestic criminal courts can exercise universal jurisdiction for crimes of state wherever these may occur, although usually only if the accused individuals are physically present in the court. In American law, the Alien Tort Claims Act allows civil actions provided personal jurisdiction of the defendant is obtained for crimes such as torture committed outside of the United States.

The most influential example was the 1980 Filartiga decision awarding damages to a victim of torture in autocratic Paraguay (Filartiga v. Peña 620 F2d 876). That is, there is a sense that national tribunals have the legal authority to prosecute individuals accused of war crimes wherever in the world the alleged criminality took place. The underlying legal theory is based on the recognition of the limited capacity of international criminal trials to impose accountability in a manner that is not entirely dictated by geopolitical priorities and reflective of a logic of impunity. In this regard, universal jurisdiction has the potential to treat equals equally, and is very threatening to the Kissingers and Rumsfelds of this world, who have curtailed their travel schedules. The United States and Israel have used their diplomatic leverage to roll back universal jurisdiction authority in Europe, especially in the United Kingdom and Belgium.

To a certain extent, the KLWCT is taking a parallel path to criminal accountability. It does not purport to have the capacity to exert bodily punishment, and stakes its claims to effectiveness on publicity, education, and symbolic justice. Such initiatives have been undertaken from time to time since the Russell Tribunal of 1967 to address criminal allegations arising out of the Vietnam War, whenever there exists public outrage and an absence of an appropriate response by governments or the institutions of international society.

In 1976, the Lelio Basso Foundation in Rome established a Permanent Peoples Tribunal that generalised on the Russell experience. It believed that there was an urgent need to fill the institutional gap in the administration of justice worldwide that resulted from geopolitical manipulation and resulting formal legal regimes of double standards. Over the next several decades, the PPT addressed a series of issues ranging from allegations of American intervention in Central America and Soviet intervention in Afghanistan to human rights in the Philippines’ Marcos dictatorship, the dispossession of Indian communities in Brazil’s Amazonia state, and the denial of the right of self-determination to the Puerto Rican people.

The most direct precedent for KLWCT was the World Tribunal on Iraq (WTI), held in Istanbul in 2005, which culminated a worldwide series of hearings carried on between 2003-2005 on various aspects of the Iraq War. As with KLWCT, it also focussed on the alleged criminality of those who embarked on the Iraq War. WTI proceedings featured many expert witnesses, and produced a judgment that condemned Bush and Blair, among others, and called for a variety of symbolic and societal implementation measures.

The jury Declaration of Conscience included this general language:

“The invasion and occupation of Iraq was and is illegal. The reasons given by the US and UK governments for the invasion and occupation of Iraq in March 2003 have proven to be false. Much evidence supports the conclusion that a major motive for the war was to control and dominate the Middle East and its vast reserves of oil as a part of the US drive for global hegemony… In pursuit of their agenda of empire, the Bush and Blair governments blatantly ignored the massive opposition to the war expressed by millions of people around the world. They embarked upon one of the most unjust, immoral, and cowardly wars in history.”

Unlike KLWCT, the tone and substance of the formal outcome of the WTI was moral and political rather than strictly legal, despite the legal framing of the inquiry. For a full account see Muge Gursoy Sokmen’s World Tribunal on Iraq: Making the Case Against War (2008).

Justifying tribunals

Two weeks before the KLWCT, a comparable initiative in South Africa was considering allegations of apartheid directed at Israel in relation to dispossession of Palestinians and the occupation of a portion of historic Palestine (this was the Russell Tribunal on Palestine, South African Session, November 5-7 2011).

All these “juridical” events had one thing in common: The world system of states and institutions was unwilling to look a particular set of facts in the eye, and respond effectively to what many qualified and concerned persons believed to be a gross injustice. In this regard, there was an intense ethical and political motivation behind these civil society initiatives that invoked the authority of law. But do these initiatives really qualify as “law”? A response to such a question depends on whether the formal procedures of sovereign states, and their indirect progeny – international institutions – are given a monopoly over the legal administration of justice. I would side with those that believe that people are the ultimate source of legal authority, and have the right to act on their own when governmental procedures, as in these situations, are so inhibited by geopolitics that they fail to address severe violations of international law.

Beyond this, we should not neglect the documentary record compiled by these civil society initiatives operating with meager resources. Their allegations almost always exhibit an objective understanding of available evidence and applicable law, although unlike governmental procedures, this assessment is effectively made prior to the initiation of the proceeding.

It is this advance assurance of criminality that provides the motivation for making the formidable organisational and fundraising effort needed to bring such an initiative into play. But is this advance knowledge of the outcome so different from war crimes proceedings under governmental auspices? Indictments are made in high-profile war crimes cases only when the evidence of guilt is overwhelming and decisive, and the outcome of adjudication is known as a matter of virtual certainty before the proceedings commence.

In both instances, the tribunal is not really trying to determine guilt or innocence, but rather is intent on providing the evidence and reasoning that validates and illuminates a verdict of guilt and resulting recommendations in one instance and criminal punishment in the other. It is, of course, impossible for civil society tribunals to enforce their outcomes in any conventional sense. Their challenge is rather to disseminate the judgment as widely and effectively as possible. A Permanent Peoples Tribunal publication can sometimes prove to be surprisingly influential in book form, given the extensive factual basis it presents in reaching its verdict. This was reportedly the case in generating oppositional activism in the Philippines in the early 1980s during the latter years of the Marcos regime.

The legalism of the KLWCT

The KLWCT has its own distinctive identity. It has the imprint of an influential former head of state in the country where the tribunal was convened, giving the whole undertaking a quasi-governmental character. It also took account of Mahathir’s wider campaign against war in general. The assessing body of the tribunal was composed of five distinguished jurists, including judges, from Malaysia, imparting an additional sense of professionalism. The chief judge was Abdel Kadir Salaiman, a former judge on Malaysia’s federal court. Two other persons who were announced as judges were recused at the outset of the proceedings, one because of supposed bias associated with prior involvement in a similar proceeding, and another due to illness. There was also a competent defense team that presented arguments intended to exonerate the defendants Bush and Blair, although the quality of the legal arguments offered was not as cogent as the evidence allowed.

The tribunal operated in strict accordance with a charter that had been earlier adopted by the KLWCC, and imparted a legalistic tone to the proceedings. It is this claim of legalism that is the most distinctive feature of the KLWCT – unlike comparable undertakings that rely more on an unprofessional and loose application of law by widely known moral authority personalities and culturally prominent figures, who make no pretense of familiarities with legal procedure and the fine points of substantive law. In this respect, the Iraq War Tribunal (IWT) held in Istanbul in 2005 was more characteristic. It pronounced on the law and offered recommendations on the basis of a politically and morally oriented assessment of evidence by a jury of conscience. The tribunal was presided over by the acclaimed Indian writer and activist Arundhati Roy, and composed of a range of persons with notable public achievements, but without claims to expert knowledge of the relevant law, although extensive testimony by experts in international law did give a persuasive backing to the allegations of criminality. Also, unlike KLWCT, the IWT made no pretense of offering a defense to the charges.

Tribunals of ‘conscience’ or ‘law’?

It raises the question for populist jurisprudence as to whether “conscience” or “law” is the preferred and more influential grounding for this kind of non-governmental initiative. In neither case does the statist-oriented mainstream media pause to give attention, even critical attention. In this regard, only populist democratic forces with a cosmopolitan vision will find such outcomes as Kuala Lumpur notable moves toward the establishment of what Derrida called the “democracy to come”. Whether such forces will become numerous and vocal enough remains uncertain. One possible road to greater influence would be to make more imaginative uses of social networking potentials to inform, explain, educate, and persuade.

This recent session of the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal offers a devastating critique of the persisting failures of international criminal law mechanisms of accountability to administer justice justly, that is, without the filters of impunity provided by existing hierarchies of hard power.

UPDATE:  the outcome of this communication?  See  Citizens’ Assembly,  March 30-31, Saskatoon,  How are we going to get rid of dental amalgams (mercury)? 

Dear Drs. Nestor and Warwick, 

Would the Canadian Council of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (CCOMT), of which Dr. Nestor is President, be interested in doing a presentation at the University of Saskatchewan?    

At this point it is an idea;  I don’t know just how it would be executed. 

I was elected to the University Senate which is the voice of the community in the governance of the University.   Among other things,  I work with a group of people whose health has been severely compromised by mercury poisoning.   I believe that the status quo at the University (both in dentistry and in toxicology) displays gross negligence of the public service that is the University’s sole raison d’etre.

 I have posted your submission made to the Department of Environment, on behalf of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) of which Dr. Nestor is Vice-President, to my blog and will circulate it by email, facebook and twitter.   Your efforts to protect people and the environment from mercury poisoning are greatly appreciated.  In my experience, your actions are relatively rare in professional ranks (not unknown, but not the norm).

 I, on behalf of my network, made a submission on dental amalgams to Environment Canada in response to their request for public input.  

You may have received the same reply as did I on Nov 18:  “the Response to Comments document for the proposed regulations of mercury-containing products has been published.”

(As at today, Nov 27, the link to this Government document brings up a “cannot display the page message”.  Perhaps it is temporary, I will follow-up.  It is not a problem to the extent that earlier I excerpted and posted relevant portions of the document to my blog.)  

It may be of assistance to you (and others):

I searched the “Response” document for the words “DENTAL” (amalgams) and “VACCINATIONS”.   The excerpts related to mercury in amalgams and vaccinations are accessible on my blog at: Mercury-Hlth-Canada-Rept-Nov-2011.  

Environment Canada listed the IAOMT among the organizations that made submissions. 

 I have cited the IAOMT and the laws in some European countries as evidence that the poisoning by mercury in dental amalgams (and vaccinations) is not the stuff of internet hoax.  This is in addition to a large file of other evidence and experience. 

I wanted to view your submission to Environment Canada but they declined to make the individual submissions on mercury available to the public.  So I went to the IAOMT and was referred to dentist Dave Warwick in Hanna, who referred me to you and sent a copy of your submission (appended).   I thoroughly enjoyed the exchange of information with Dr. Warwick (who happens to know my niece-in-law and her family from Hanna!).  

I asked Dr. Warwick how it came about that he doesn’t use amalgams in his dental practice.  As I understand, in the early years of his practice in Hanna in the 1980’s, some patients asked him to replace their amalgams.  They explained why.   He obliged and then saw their health recover.   His experience and further research convinced him that the mercury in amalgams is very damaging to health. 

 After about 30 years of practice in Hanna and being the only dentist, the majority of people coming into his office know about the toxic effects of the amalgams.   He also said that Hanna has the lowest rate of immunization of any community in Alberta:  people are also aware of the heavy metals in vaccinations. 

Many thanks for the information on the IAOMT website ( http://www.iaomt.org/ ).  

You will see a button on my blog:  Heavy metals in vaccinations, Mercury in dental amalgams, Fluoride in tap water     There is a supporting file of information collected in large measure by Grant Schoenroth. 

I will set up a link to http://www.iaomt.org/  (and to VRAN – the Vaccine Risk Awareness Network).

 My question about the CCOMT coming to the U of S would be part of an effort to create an informed critical mass that would drive the needed changes in the “teachings” at the U of S.   In the past I have sent information to the Dean of Medicine (Dr. William Albritton) and to the CEO of the Saskatoon Health District (Maura Davies) with no apparent effect.

 I neglected to send information to the Dental College  http://www.usask.ca/search/?q=dentistry  or to the Department of Toxicology  http://www.usask.ca/search/index.php?q=toxicology .  When I know your response, perhaps those are the first places I should approach.

 Many thanks for your consideration.

Human microphone   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_microphone 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A crowd of protesters engaging in the ‘human microphone’ on 30 September 2011, at Occupy Wall Street

A human microphone, also known as the people’s microphone, is a means for delivering a speech to a large group of people, wherein persons gathered around the speaker repeat what the speaker says, thus “amplifying” the voice of the speaker without the need for electrical or pneumatic amplification apparatus.

The speaker begins by saying “Mic check”. When the people near the speaker respond “Mic check”, the speaker knows they have the group’s attention. The speaker says a few words of a speech and then pauses. Those that can hear what the speaker has said repeat it in unison, and when finished, the speaker says a few more words, and then pauses for the those who can hear to repeat those words, and so on. At times, the technique has been used by protestors to interupt and talk over another speaker.[1] Politicians such as Scott Walker[1][2] and Michele Bachman are sometimes targets for this style of interruption. [3] Using the human microphone to interrupt an electrically amplified speech has become known as “mic checking” the speaker: “Karl Rove…got mic-checked during his speaking event”. [4] This form of interruption is similar to the crowd at World Wrestling Entertainment events repeating the word “what” to harass a speaker, a technique initiated by Stone Cold Steve Austin.[5]

Origin

 Protesters repeat what is said to replicate the function of prohibited public address systems.

The use of electronic amplification devices, such as loudspeakers or bullhorns, may require permits for “amplified sound”. The use of human microphones provides a way for people to address large gatherings without running afoul of such requirements.[6] This method of communication gained notoriety in its use in the Occupy Wall Street, where it was deployed because New York has such regulations.[7] Other Occupy movement protests also use the method—even those that also use amplified sound — due to its association with the movement.

  • On Nov 26th I searched the Globe & Mail and the CBC:  I found no references whatsoever to the story in either.

CONCERNING the VANCOUVER  SUN  – I was particularly curious:  there were protests in Vancouver in October over Bush’s attendance there.  How did they report the finding of the Malaysian tribunal?   …      “The verdict is purely symbolic as the tribunal has no enforcement powers.”     (The link to the article is no longer valid –  Bush, Blair guilty in Malaysia ‘war crimes trial’)

IMPORTANT:  This is a misleading statement – an obvious attempt to discredit the “guilty” verdict.   The Law of Complementarity is international law; it is as valid in Malaysia as in Canada and most other countries, I would think.  See  2009-10-13 Addendum sent to Attorney General: you DO have responsibility to arrest Bush, the Law of Complementarity.

 

Are the AMERICANS better informed? No – they also use words to discredit, to keep the population ignorant.

Bush and Blair found guilty: REPORTS FROM INTERNATIONAL MEDIA, LINKS & TEXT

(1)   Click on this Press TV video report from Kuala Lumpur:   http://www.presstv.ir/detail/211548.html

A Malaysian tribunal has found former US President George W Bush and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair guilty of committing crimes against humanity during the Iraq war, Press TV reported.

The Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal found the former heads of state guilty after a four-day hearing. A seven-member panel chaired by former Malaysian Federal Court judge Abdul Kadir Sulaiman presided over the trial.

The five panel tribunal unanimously decided that the former US and British leaders had committed crimes against peace and humanity, and also violated international law when they ordered the invasion of Iraq in March 2003.

The prosecutors at the hearing ruled that the invasion of Iraq was a flagrant abuse of law, and act of aggression which amounted to a mass murder of the Iraqi people.

“Bush and Blair are found guilty under the same law that applied to the Nazis after the end of the World War II. So, they are international (war) criminals guilty of Nuremberg crimes against peace; and they should be prosecuted by any state in the world that gets a hold of them. We will continue our efforts to bring Bush and Blair to justice and put them in jail,” Francis Boyle, an international law expert and prosecutor, told Press TV.

The judges in the verdict said that that the United States, under the leadership of Bush, forged documents to claim that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

Bush and Blair were tried in absentia by the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal at the end of the hearing. The participants also demanded that the findings of the tribunal be made available to members of the Rome Statute and that the names of the two former officials be entered in the register of war criminals.

“There is also a recommendation that this (the findings) be circulated to the states because all states have universal jurisdiction. Therefore, whenever Bush or Blair appear within their shores there is an obligation on the international law to commit these international war criminals through the justice system,” Gurdial Singh Nijar, a prosecutor, told Press TV.

Lawyers and human rights activists in Malaysia have described the verdict issued by the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal against Bush and Blair as “a landmark decision.”

They say that they would lobby the International Criminal Court to charge the pair for war crimes.

The Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal is scheduled to hold a separate hearing next year on charges of torture linked to the Iraq war against former US officials including ex-Vice President Dick Cheney, former Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld and ex-Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

A tribunal in Malaysia applies the Nuremberg Principles to brand the two leaders as war criminals

Former President Bush and then British Prime Minister Tony Blair

(Credit: AP)

A tribunal in Malaysia, spearheaded by that nation’s former Prime Minister, yesterday found George Bush and Tony Blair guilty of “crimes against peace” and other war crimes for their 2003 aggressive attack on Iraq, as well as fabricating pretexts used to justify the attack. The seven-member Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal — which featured an American law professor as one of its chief prosecutors — has no formal enforcement power, but was modeled after a 1967 tribunal in Sweden and Denmark that found the U.S. guilty of a war of aggression in Vietnam, and, even more so, after the U.S.-led Nuremberg Tribunal held after World War II. Just as the U.S. steadfastly ignored the 1967 tribunal on Vietnam, Bush and Blair both ignored the summons sent to them and thus were tried in absentia.

The tribunal ruled that Bush and Blair’s name should be entered in a register of war criminals, urged that they be recognized as such under the Rome Statute, and will also petition the International Criminal Court to proceed with binding charges. Such efforts are likely to be futile, but one Malaysian lawyer explained the motives of the tribunal to The Associated Press: “For these people who have been immune from prosecution, we want to put them on trial in this forum to prove that they committed war crimes.” In other words, because their own nations refuse to hold them accountable and can use their power to prevent international bodies from doing so, the tribunal wanted at least formal legal recognition of these war crimes to be recorded and the evidence of their guilt assembled. That’s the same reason a separate panel of this tribunal will hold hearings later this year on charges of torture against Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and others.

Here’s what I find striking about this. Virtually every Serious political and media elite in America, by definition, would scoff at this tribunal; few things are considered more fringe or ludicrous than the notion that George Bush and Tony Blair should be punished as war criminals just because they aggressively attacked another nation and caused the deaths of at least 150,000 innocent people and the displacement of millions more. But the only thing this Malaysian tribunal is doing is applying the clear principles of the Nuremberg Tribunal as enunciated by lead prosecutor and former U.S. Attorney General Robert Jackson in his Opening and Closing Statements at Nuremberg:

The central crime in this pattern of crimes, the kingpin which holds them all together, is the plot for aggressive wars. The chief reason for international cognizance of these crimes lies in this fact. . . .

What makes this inquest significant is that these prisoners represent sinister influences that will lurk in the world long after their bodies have returned to dust. . . . . And let me make clear that while this law is first applied against German aggressors, the law includes, and if it is to serve a useful purpose it must condemn aggression by any other nations, including those which sit here now in judgment.

The “kingpin” crime of the German defendants was not genocide or ethnic cleansing, but rather “the plot for aggressive war,” and the only way that the Nuremberg Tribunal will “serve a useful purpose” is if it applies equally in the future to “aggression by any other nations, including those which sit here now in judgment.” Who do you think history will (and should) look more favorably upon? Those in this Kuala Lumpur tribunal who objected to the heinous war crime that is the attack on Iraq and attempted to hold the responsible leaders accountable under the Nuremberg principles, or those in America and Britain who mocked those efforts (when they weren’t ignoring them) and demanded that they and their leaders be fully exempted from the principles they imposed and decreed as universal after World War II?

UPDATE: Andrew Sullivan, who yesterday expressed angry bafflement over the fact that many liberals do not swoon for President Obama the way Jon Chait does, today noted that the U.S. under Obama imposes even less accountability for abuse of power and war crimes than does Bahrain:

Bahrain’s Sunni government promised “no immunity” for anyone suspected of abuses and said it would propose creating a permanent human rights watchdog commission. “All those who have broken the law or ignored lawful orders and instructions will be held accountable,” said a government statement, which says the report acknowledges that the “systematic practice of mistreatment” ended shortly after martial law was repealed on June 1.

As Andrew put it: “So a Middle East dictatorship has more democratic accountability for abuse of power, including torture, than the US under Obama.” Beyond things like this and the facts set forth in the last paragraph here, perhaps Andrew could use today’s post of his to help clear up the towering mystery he raised yesterday of liberal disenchantment with Obama. That American war criminals are being aggressively shielded from any and all accountability is not an ancillary matter but one of enduring historical significance.

U.S. President George W. Bush (L) shares a laugh with British Prime Minister Tony Blair

KUALA LUMPUR – Former US president George W Bush and British ex-prime minister Tony Blair were Tuesday found guilty at a mock tribunal in Malaysia for committing “crimes against peace” during the Iraq war.

The Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal, part of an initiative by former Malaysian premier Mahathir Mohamad – a fierce critic of the Iraq war – found the former leaders guilty after a four-day hearing.

“The Tribunal deliberated over the case and decided unanimously that the first accused George Bush and second accused Blair have been found guilty of crimes against peace,” the tribunal said in a statement.

“Unlawful use of force threatens the world to return to a state of lawlessness. The acts of the accused were unlawful.”

Mahathir, who stepped down in 2003 after 22 years in power, unveiled plans for the tribunal in 2007 just before he condemned Bush and Blair as “child killers” and “war criminals” at the launch of an annual anti-war conference.

A seven-member panel chaired by former Malaysian Federal Court judge Abdul Kadir Sulaiman presided over the trial, which began last Saturday, and both Bush and Blair were tried in absentia.

“The evidence showed that the drums of wars were being beaten long before the invasion. The accused in their own memoirs have admitted their own intention to invade Iraq regardless of international law,” it said.

The verdict is purely symbolic as the tribunal has no enforcement powers.

The tribunal is also expected to later hear torture and war crimes charges against seven others, including former US secretary of defence Donald Rumsfeld and former vice president Dick Cheney.

http://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2011/11/21/Corporate-Psychopaths/?utm_source=mondayheadlines&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=211111

Shark-like, they rise fast but risk killing the world economy, concludes a business professor.

By Mitchell Anderson, Today, TheTyee.ca

Given the state of the global economy, it might not surprise you to learn that psychopaths may be controlling the world. Not violent criminals, but corporate psychopaths who nonetheless have a genetically-inherited biochemical condition that prevents them from feeling normal human empathy.

Scientific research is revealing that 21st century financial institutions with a high rate of turnover and expanding global power have become highly attractive to psychopathic individuals to enrich themselves at the expense of others, and the companies they work for.

A peer-reviewed theoretical paper from 2011 titled “The Corporate Psychopaths Theory of the Global Financial Crisis” details how highly-placed psychopaths in the banking sector may have nearly brought down the world economy through their own inherent inability to care about the consequences of their actions.

The author of this paper, Clive Boddy, previously of Nottingham Trent University, believes this theory would go a long way to explain how senior managers acted in ways that were disastrous for the institutions they worked for, the investors they represented and the global economy at large.

If true, this also means the astronomically expensive public bailouts will not solve the problem since many of the morally impaired individuals who caused this mess likely remain in positions of power. Worse, they may be the same people advising governments on how to resolve this crisis.

To tackle this problem, we must instead examine this rare and curious condition, and why recent corporate history may have elevated precisely the wrong type of people to positions of great power and public trust.

Unfeeling, but not insane

Psychopathy should not be confused with insanity. It is best described by Robert Hare, global expert and psychologist, as “emotional deafness” — a biochemical inability to experience normal feelings of empathy for others.

This shark-like fixation on self-interest means that psychopaths often feel a clear detachment from other people, viewing them more as sheep to be preyed upon than fellow humans to relate to. For instance, psychopaths in prison often use group therapy sessions not as a healing process, but as an opportunity to learn how to simulate normal human emotions.

Studies on twins have revealed that psychopathy shows a strong genetic signature and there remains no effective treatment. Recent research has linked the condition to physical abnormalities in the amygdala region of the brain.

Only a small subset of psychopaths become the violent criminals so often fictionalized in film. Most simply seek to blend in and conceal their difference in order to more effectively manipulate others. This frightening condition has existed throughout human history, though likely in a marginal and socially parasitic way.

While psychopaths are often portrayed by Hollywood as brilliantly clever, a hypothetical race of Hannibal Lecters would likely perish since they lack the ability to trust each other. Put another way, the human race — a relatively weak, slow, hairless tropical primate — has succeeded so spectacularly in every ecosystem on the planet not because we are so bad, but because we are so good.

Most dangerous one per cent

The human ability to build social capital means that people can co-operate and trust each other. We can reliably predict the behaviour of others even if we have never met them. Social capital is the glue that holds together our communities, complex societies, large institutions and the economy. The one and only superpower possessed by psychopaths is their ruthless ability to spend the social capital created by others.

Scientists believe about one per cent of the general population is psychopathic, meaning there are more than three million moral monsters amongst normal United States citizens. There is emerging evidence that this frequency increases within the upper management of modern corporations. This is not surprising since personal ruthlessness and fixation on personal power have become seen as strong assets to large publicly traded corporations (which some authors believe have also become psychopathic).

However, appearance and performance are two different things. While psychopaths are often outwardly charming and excellent self-promoters, they are also typically terrible managers, bullying co-workers and creating chaos to conceal their behaviour.

When employed in senior levels, their pathology also means they are biochemically incapable of something they are legally required to do: act in good faith on behalf of other people. The banking and corporate sector is built on the ancient principle of fiduciary duty — a legal obligation to act in the best interest of those whose money or property you are entrusted with. Asking a psychopath to do that is like recruiting a pyromaniac to be a firefighter.

The folly of mixing psychopathy and senior corporate management has been borne out by recent history. At the end of the last decade, numerous banking institutions representing hundreds of years of corporate financial stability ceased to exist within a few short months due to the reckless acts of a few individuals — none of whom have ever been charged with a crime.

And therein lies the rub. As ruthless as psychopaths are, their pathology dictates that they will ultimately act to the detriment of the organizations and investors they are paid so well to represent.

Fertile for pyschopaths: New corporate culture

If this theory is correct, how did this become such a crisis in recent decades? Boddy suggests that corporations have changed from relatively stable institutions where psychopaths would have a difficult time concealing themselves, to highly fluid organizations where it is much easier for them to disappear within the chaos in their wake.

“(The) whole corporate and employment environment changed from one that would hold the Corporate Psychopath in check to one where they could flourish and advance relatively unopposed,” Boddy writes. “As evidence of this, senior level remuneration and reward started to increase more and more rapidly and beyond all proportion to shop floor incomes and a culture of greed unfettered by conscience developed. Corporate Psychopaths are ideally situated to prey on such an environment and corporate fraud, financial misrepresentation, greed and misbehaviour went through the roof, bringing down huge companies and culminating in the Global Financial Crisis that we are now in.”

Boddy is not hopeful that the current round of expensive public bailouts will solve the problem. If psychopaths have in fact installed themselves in the upper reaches of the world’s financial institutions, their genetic deficiency dictates that their greed knows no bounds. They will continue to act in antisocial, remorseless ways, amplified by their enormous corporate influence until the institutions they represent and perhaps the entire global economy collapses. Obviously, more academic research in this area is urgently needed.

Boddy concludes his recent paper with this grim prediction:

“Writing in 2005, this author… predicted that the rise of Corporate Psychopaths was a recipe for corporate and societal disaster. This disaster has now happened and is still happening. Across the western world, the symptoms of the financial crisis are now being treated. However, this treatment of the symptoms will have little effect because the root cause is not being addressed. The very same Corporate Psychopaths, who probably caused the crisis by their self-seeking greed and avarice, are now advising governments on how to get out of the crisis. That this involves paying themselves vast bonuses in the midst of financial hardship for many millions of others is symptomatic of the problem. Further, if (this theory is correct) then we are now far from the end of the crisis. Indeed, it is only the end of the beginning. Perhaps more than ever before, the world needs corporate leaders with a conscience…. Measures exist to identify Corporate Psychopaths. Perhaps it is time to use them.”

Time has come for testing

Boddy’s last statement contains a kernel of hope. If our world has become chaotic due to institutionalized psychopathy, imagine how much better it could be if such dangerously impaired individuals were excluded from positions of power and influence.

Precedence exists for dealing with such situations. Randomized workplace drug testing became the norm in the 1980s. At the time, civil libertarians strongly objected on the basis that it violated personal privacy protections. However, the U.S. Supreme Court decided in 1989 that such testing was constitutional and now about 25 per cent of Fortune 500 companies routinely require their employees to submit to such tests.

Perhaps investors at major financial institutions should require that senior level managers submit to established tests to ensure they are not psychopathic. This is not an issue of civil liberties since the precedent has already been well established regarding drug impairment in the workplace. Likewise, it is not a regulatory issue since private shareholders have every right to demand that executives demonstrate they are not biochemically impaired and therefore unable to carry out their fiduciary duties on behalf of investors. If corporate boards are hiring psychopaths as executive management, they are not carrying out their due diligence and could be held legally liable for their oversight.

Companies should also consider providing employees with specific whistleblower provisions to expose potential psychopaths in the workplace. A 2010 study by Boddy showed that corporate psychopaths caused more than one quarter of all workplace bullying, though they accounted for only one per cent of the workforce.

Besides being traumatic and humiliating to other workers, this bullying is also very expensive. Boddy calculated that bullying by corporate psychopaths cost companies in the U.K. more than £3.5 billion per year in lost productivity and attrition. Extrapolating these results to the United States, these deviant individuals are responsible for more than $35 billion in direct annual losses to U.S. businesses.

Politicians, too?

And what about elected officials? There is no higher standard of trust in our society than standing for public office. Campaigning politicians are expected to submit to almost absurd levels of scrutiny about their private lives, character and personal relationships. Should not candidates begin providing voters proof that they are medically capable of acting in the interests of the public that may elect them?

The Occupy Wall Street protesters demanding an end to the reign of the “one per cent” may have unwittingly stumbled on the crux of the issue. Science tells us that 99 per cent of humans have normal emotional function. One per cent are psychopaths. We ignore that truth at our peril.

STEVEN WRITES:
A movie like this is frustrating. It points to many large scale injustices we’re familiar with, from banking fraud to corporate and government collusion, but then uses slight of hand to conflate these very real issues with nonsense about space aliens and a secret code leading to miracles.
I never find conspiratorial works beneficial to our movements. In fact its the opposite. They only serve to discredit legitimate activist work by providing a paint brush for our enemies to associate us with anyone who believes things that have no basis in science, reason or independently verifiable evidence. If we are not legitimate in our dealings and our messages, how could we hope to hold others to account?
Thank you for all the great work you’ve done – and continue to do – in promoting many just causes, from our privacy rights to exposing fraudulent members at the university to sounding the alarm on the commercialization of water. You’re a force to be reckoned with. Please don’t give your opponents an excuse to discredit you.
An example from Calgary; an individual here, who was prone to conspiratorial thinking and messaging, fought for decades to get rid of fluoride in our drinking water – a noble cause. We finally did get rid of it, just recently, but its my feeling that this was postponed by several years because the main advocate was easily and frequently written off as not being a rational person. This person’s valid evidence of the harms and dangers of municipal water supply fluoridation were conveniently discredited by this same individual’s subscription to a belief that our problems are orchestrated by the usual panoply of illuminati, Jewish bankers, lizard people and Rockefellers. Disappointing.
Again, many best wishes,

By Foster Gamble
What is keeping us from thriving? After a lifetime journey of pursuing that
question, my research revealed that a small group of financial elite have
gained control over key areas of our lives – energy, food, health care,
education and more – and are the single greatest threat to humanity’s ability
to thrive.
As I researched the problems in each Sector of human activity, I came to the
shocking realization that virtually every problem we face is human-caused.
But then I realized what good news this actually is. If there were a comet
plummeting toward Earth or the planet was careening out of orbit we would be
at a loss as to what to do. If, on the other hand, people caused it, we have
a better chance of being able to fix it as we wake up, expose corruption and
align with natural principles.
It is not that humans are incapable of thriving. It’s that we’ve been duped
into a system that is designed to consolidate wealth and power, rather than
provide a real opportunity for people to thrive. By exposing this agenda,
strategically challenging deceptive systems such as central banks and fiat
money, and coming up with new ways to organize and cooperate, we can obsolete
this destructive agenda and liberate our planet and our true human potential.
At first, an agenda to control others was hard for me to consider. But as I
spent many years getting myself educated about it, many things that hadn’t
made sense began to fall into place. A different story began to emerge which,
horrible as it was to consider, actually explained more than ever before and
provided a feeling achieving some traction in what I could do about our
predicament. I came to realize the desperate drive to dominate others is
based in a worldview of scarcity and fear. The controlling elite seem to
believe the only options are to control, or be controlled, and realizing that
gave me a better understanding of why they have chosen their current route.
Now it is up to the rest of us to transcend this destructive belief system
and show that we are capable of governing ourselves… that we actually can
thrive.

WHAT is the
Global Domination Agenda?

The global domination agenda is
a plan by powerful private bankers to take over all our primary systems
(money, energy, food, media, etc.) and to establish a sole global authority –
with themselves in charge. They use the media, central banks, multinational
corporations, governments, major foundations, and international agencies such
as the IMF and World Bank to implement their strategies. So far they have
successfully brought down countries across the globe, including Argentina,
Chile, Ecuador, Argentina, Tanzania, Indonesia, Brazil, Poland, Mexico,
Bolivia, Thailand, Iceland, the Soviet Union, Japan, Greece and scores of
others. They are now attempting to dismantle the U.S. by collapsing the dollar
and making sure Americans are in debt they can’t repay.
This pyramid shows the basic structure of control. The financial elite are at
the top. They use international and national central banks to control
corporations (which they loan to at special rates), manipulate national
economies and hence their governments, and get everyone in debt to the
bankers.
Regular working people, who produce most of the real wealth on this planet,
are at the bottom of the pyramid. As of 2007, the richest 2% of adults owned
more than 50% of the global assets[1] and
as of 2010, one out of every seven people didn’t have enough to eat.[2]
Material wealth and resources continue to funnel up to the financial elite,
while domination and control come down through the international banking
structure and the corporations and governments below them. It’s important to
note that the strength of the pyramid is in its base. As people wake up and
withdraw their support, the corrupt money structure will lose its control.

Conspiracy

Conspiracy: an
evil, unlawful, treacherous, or surreptitious plan formulated in secret by
two or more persons; plot.
(dictionary.com)
Until recently, the controllers have been quite successful at insulting the
idea that there might actually be conspiracies going on. “Conspiracy
theorists… wackos…paranoid nut cases.” It has been made socially
unacceptable to challenge big lies that we are told, because someone might
make fun of us. But “conspiracy THEORY” has been turning into “conspiracy
ANALYSIS” and finally into conspiracy FACT. When President George Bush Sr.
got busted for covertly selling arms to the Contras, his administration was
convicted of …Conspiracy. When the AMA tried to shut down the emergence of
Chiropractic, they were found guilty of…Conspiracy. Here are a few more of
countless examples of proven conspiracies:
And here are some well-informed voices from 20th century history:
“Since
I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately.
Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the Field of commerce and
manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere
so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so
pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in
condemnation of it.”

– Woodrow
Wilson, The New Freedom (1913)
“The
powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim, 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. This system was to be 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. The apex of the system was
the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank
owned and controlled by the worlds’ central banks which were themselves
private corporations. The growth of financial capitalism made possible a
centralization of world economic control and use of this power for the direct
benefit of financiers and the indirect injury of all other economic
groups.”

– Professor
Carroll Quigley of Georgetown University, highly esteemed by his former
student, William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, in Tragedy and Hope: A History of
The World in Our Time (Macmillan Company, 1966).
“The
drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world
government combining supercapitalism and Communism under the same tent, all
under their control…. Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there
is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and
incredibly evil in intent.”


Congressman Larry P. McDonald, 1976, killed in the crash of a Korean Airlines
747.
“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 (2000)
“In
the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will
recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn’t such a
great idea after all.”

– Strobe
Talbot, President Clinton’s Deputy Secretary of State, as quoted in Time,
July 20th, l992
“We
shall have world government whether or not you like it, by conquest or
consent.”

– James
Warburg, member of Council on Foreign Relations, in his statement to The
Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 17th, l950
“It
seems to me that the nature of the ultimate revolution with which we are now
faced is precisely this: That we are in the process of developing a whole
series of techniques which will enable the controlling oligarchy who have
always existed and presumably will always exist, to get people to love their
servitude.”

– Aldous
Huxley, 1962 speech at Berkeley

WHO is
Implementing the Agenda?

Efforts to conquer and colonize are as old as history, but it
was creating the deception of “monopolized central banking” – where a few
individuals get to just make up money out of nothing – and “fractional
reserve” lending – where bankers get to lend and charge interest on money
they don’t actually have – that gave the elite the means by which they could
hope to actually rule the world. The first central bank was the Bank of
Amsterdam – founded in 1609 – and then in 1694 King William III teamed up
with UK aristocracy to launch the private Bank of England.
Elite
private bankers – including the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, and Morgans – and
members of such secret societies as the Council on Foreign Relations, The
Bilderberg Group, the Trilateral Commission, and the Royal Institute of
Affairs are setting and implementing the current agenda.
*Secret
Societies
“The
governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other
governments, with emperors, kings and ministers, but also with the secret
societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the
last moment upset all the governments’ plans. “

– British
Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, 1876
“The
Council on Foreign Relations is “the establishment.” Not only does
it have influence and power in key decision-making positions at the highest
levels of government to apply pressure from above, but it also announces and
uses individuals and groups to bring pressure from below, to justify the high
level decisions for converting the U.S. from a sovereign Constitutional
Republic into a servile member state of a one-world dictatorship.”

– Former
Congressman John Rarick, 1971
“The
Trilateral Commission 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. The Trilateral Commission
represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate
the four centers of power — political, monetary, intellectual and
ecclesiastical. What the Trilateral Commission intends is to create a
worldwide economic power superior to the political governments of the nation
states involved. As managers and creators of the system, they will rule the
future.”

– U.S.
Senator Barry Goldwater in his l964 book: With No Apologies.
Control of
currencies is the core of their power methodology. The elite financed
Mussolini and Hitler, planned WWI and II, and financed all sides in order to
cull the population and consolidate their power. For more than a century,
their goal has been to create a single global government. The attempt to
create a League of Nations after WWI Was funded by the Rockefellers and the
Rothschilds. The plan failed, but was revived as the United Nations after
WWII on land in New York gifted by the Rockefellers. As wonderful as it’s
made out to be, with its diversity and “peacekeepers,” the UN seems to be the
front organization for the One World Authority –with NATO as its militant arm
and the World Bank as its financial enforcer. All the organizations below as
well as the World Health Organization, The World Trade Organization were
created by the Rockefellers, Rothschilds or Morgans.
Only a
handful of nations – like Iran, Cuba, Libya, North Korea, Sudan and until
recently Iraq – have not succumbed to the elite’s central banking takeover
scheme. This seems to play a major unspoken role in determining the New World
Order’s imperialist hit-list, the so-called “axis of evil.”

booms and busts by these elite private bankers, click here.

these same elite bankers have gained control not only over our money system,
but over almost every other sector of human activity, check out the “Follow the Money” section of the site.
As
described in the timeline, the Rothschilds are the oldest, wealthiest and most
powerful European Central Banking family. Their rise to financial dominance
began with Mayer Amschel Rothschild in Frankfurt, Germany where he set up a
finance house.
His five sons were spread throughout Europe in the late 1700s and early 1800s – in Frankfurt, Vienna, London, Naples, and Paris – forming a financial dynasty. In June of 1815, Nathan Rothschild’s secret courier network was the first to make it back to London with news that Napoleon’s French troops had been defeated by the British at Waterloo. Rothschild, who, as usual, had funded both sides in the war, cunningly pretended that the French had won and started dumping British “consuls” on the stock exchange. The market plummeted and then Nathan quietly started buying up everything in sight, and by the time the real news of Britain’s success in the battle reached the public in London, the House of Rothschild had bought control of the British economy. By the mid 1800s they dominated the banking industry, funding people such as the Morgans, Vanderbilts, Carnegies, and Cecil Rhodes.

Rothschild Group

The
Rothschilds’ influence spread to the U.S. as well. They financed the house of
Morgan and sent associate Paul Warburg, a partner in Kuhn, Loeb & Co. to
meet with other private bankers on Jekyll Island to secretly draft the
Federal Reserve Act that was passed in 1913. This allowed bankers to create
90% of our money supply and loan it out at interest – a sure way to be highly
profitable and influential while also allowing private bankers to run the
national economy. Indeed, as Mayer Amschel Rothschild once said, “Give me
control over a nation’s currency, and I care not who makes its laws.”
The
Rothschild’s continue to wield tremendous power and control, though virtually
always behind the scenes. Some researchers have estimated their fortune today
could exceed $100 trillion. (The Federal Reserve Cartel: Part III by Dean
Henderson)
A couple of
the many palatial Rothschild estates.
Today, N.M. Rothschild & Sons is their main investment
banking operation based out of London. It is one of the top 10 global
investment banks for M&A advisory. In 2007, they did $566 billion worth
of trades, more than 12% of the market share – and this is just what is known
publicly. They have banks set up all over the world, making them shareholders
in numerous Central Banks and granting them tremendous decision-making
powers.
In 1998,
Gaylon Ross Sr, author of Who’s Who of the Global Elite, wrote that he had
been tipped by a private source that the combined wealth of the Rothschild
family was then approximately $100 Trillion and that of the Rockefellers was
$11 Trillion.
The Rockefellers are particularly dominant in America. They got started in the
19th century with funding from JP Morgan, who was the American front man for
the Rothschilds. John D. Rockefeller was funded to help develop and control
oil resources. As oil increased in demand, John D. Rockefeller’s wealth grew
and he became the first American billionaire. With this money came a
tremendous amount of power and control, not only in oil, but all sectors of
society. Much of the family wealth has been funneled through “philanthropic”
organizations such as the Rockefeller Foundation.
Contributions
and funding from the Rockefeller Foundation may look good on the surface,
however, the control that comes from it is vast. For example, the current
medical model originated with the Rockefeller’s around the turn of the
century. In the early 1900’s, John D. Rockefeller set up the Institute for
Medical Research that laid the foundation for health research and
development.
Then in 1913, the Rockefeller Foundation became one of the
largest funders of medical research. They hand-picked scientists and doctors
who were considered worthy of funding, with a heavy emphasis on pharmacology.
This drug-treatment paradigm was carried over into the universities, many of
which are still funded or were initially established by the Rockefeller
Foundation. In this way, drug-based medical care has become the norm. It’s a
similar story in all other sectors, which you can track in the “Follow the
Money” section of the site.
In banking,
the Rockefeller’s have had an ownership stake in Chase ever since 1930, when
they merged the Rockefeller-owned Equitable Trust Company of New York with
Chase National Bank. In the 1970s and 1980s Chase Manhattan was run by David
Rockefeller. Then Chase Manhattan merged with J.P. Morgan and Co. in 2000.
“For
more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political
spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller
family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American
political and economic institutions. Some even believe we 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, Memoirs, 2002
“We
are grateful to the Washington Post, the NY Times, Time Magazine and other
great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected
their promise of discretion for almost forty years… It would have been
impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to
the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more
sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The
supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is
surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past
centuries.”
– David Rockefeller at a meeting in June of 1991 of the Bilderberg Group in
Baden Baden, Germany.
“Competition
is a sin.”
– John D. Rockefeller
The Morgans – J.P. Morgan was the front-man for the Rothschilds around the
turn of the century. He has a history of profiting from crises, as detailed
in the timeline above. In both banking panics of 1893 and 1907, he intervened
creating the illusion of economic stability while consolidating wealth for
his company. J.P. Morgan also benefitted from the Great Depression. When
“Black Thursday” hit in 1929 he bought up cheap stocks to “keep the economy
afloat.” While people endured extreme hardship, J.P. Morgan walked away with
significant financial gains.
Today
Morgan’s strategy lives on in Chase and CitiGroup. I believe these banking
powerhouses were largely responsible for the most recent economic collapse.
They were well aware of their destructive behavior but did nothing to stop
it. In the end these banks were bailed out by taxpayer debt and gained huge
profits while their competitors went under and people lost their homes, jobs,
and retirement funds. I am convinced this was no accident – it was an
intentional power and money grab that has happened throughout the course of
history.
“Fifty
men have run America, and that’s a high figure.”
– Joseph Kennedy, father of JFK, in the July 26th, l936 issue of The New
York Times
“…when
the struggle seems to be drifting definitely towards a world social
democracy, there may still be very great delays and disappointments before it
becomes an efficient and beneficent world system. Countless people… will
hate the new world order… and will die protesting against it. When we attempt
to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation
or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and graceful-looking
people.”
– H. G. Wells, in his book entitled The New World Order (1939)
“The
government of the Western nations, whether monarchical or republican, had
passed into the invisible hands of a plutocracy, international in power and
grasp. It was, I venture to suggest, this semi-occult power which… pushed
the mass of the American people into the cauldron of World War I.”
– British military historian Major General J.F.C. Fuller, l941
“The
real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the
scenes.”
– Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, 1952
“Today
the path of total dictatorship in the United States can be laid by strictly
legal means (just as they where in Nazi Germany), unseen and unheard by the
Congress, the President, or the people. 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.”
– Senator William Jenner, 1954

HOW is the
Agenda Implemented?

Citizens wouldn’t simply stand by and let others take control of
their lives, unless it was concealed in some way. Part of the shrewdness
behind the agenda is that it is disguised so well that people even contribute
to their own demise without knowing it. Most of us end up craving more credit
and accepting more taxes to bail out those who are robbing us in the first
place. We are giving our money to these elite controllers every time we make
a deposit in one of their banks. They have convinced us that not only do we
need them, but also that what’s good for them is good for us, and nothing
could be further from the truth. Catherine Austin Fitts describes this as a
“tapeworm economy.”
The global
elite also utilize and sometimes manufacture tragic events to further their
control. They do this either through a strategy referred to as
“Problem-Reaction-Solution,” the “Strategy of Tension” or the “Shock
Doctrine,” or False Flag Operations.
Problem-Reaction-Solution goes
something like this:
(1) Create
or capitalize on a problem.
(2) Incite
a fearful reaction.
(3)
Implement an already prepared, and previously unacceptable “solution” that
further centralizes control.
False Flag Operations
Another
deceptive strategy for consolidating power is “False Flag” Operations – named
after the old technique of attacking a group using an enemy’s banner instead
of ones’ own to misdirect the ensuing counterattack. These manufactured and
often tragic events allow the elite to acquire resources, reap profit from
wars, and erode our rights. They are disguised to generate a predictable
reaction – public fear – to help serve the controlling interests. Some
examples include:
World War I – this war was ignited by a fake terror assassination event of
Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria.
The
Lusitania – in 1915 was sailed into hostile waters with armaments from the
Morgan banking interests hidden in the hold of the passenger ship.[3] The subsequent sinking by German U boats and
the loss of thousands of lives was apparently used to awake the anger of the
American people to get them into the War.
An
intentionally set fire in the German Reichstag building in 1933 enabled the
Nazis to set up “emergency laws” as a “crackdown on terrorism” and justify
the police state.
World War II – started around a staged attack by the Germans on one of their
own radio stations – which they then blamed on the Poles.
There is
documented proof that President Franklin Roosevelt knew from decoded Japanese
messages, that they were planning to attack Pearl Harbor, but he kept it
secret in order to get them to “fire the first shot,” because that would
motivate the American population to get into the War in Europe.[4]
Operation Northwoods – in 1962 was a covert CIA
operation (now unclassified and fully documented) to paint a plane with Red
Cross colors, shoot it down and blame Castro, so the US would have an excuse
to invade Cuba. President Kennedy refused to go along with the plan.
Vietnam War – Gulf of Tonkin – Former
Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara acknowledged that the attack of a ship
in the Gulf of Tonkin, which was the catalyst for the US entry into the Viet
Nam War, actually never happened.
9/11 – The evidence is vast and growing of complicity by some
individuals within the US Government and financial sector in the attacks of September
11, 2001 on the World Trade Towers and the Pentagon. Architects, engineers,
physicists, whistle blowers, investigative reporters and filmmakers are all
behind a growing 9/11 truth movement (see Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth).
“…the
people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All
you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the
pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater
danger.”
– Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials
“The
individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so
monstrous, he cannot believe it exists.”
– J. Edgar Hoover

Covert
De-population

The notion of intentional depopulation is difficult to consider.
I wrestled with whether to include it in the film and on this site. I am
taking the risk of discussing it because I believe that we will not be
sufficiently astute in our assessment of what is going on until we allow for
the possibility of this perverse reality. Food and water additives, aerial
spraying, contaminated vaccines, man-made weather catastrophes through HAARP,
and endless wars look different through the lens of depopulation, and the
dangers – and our responses to them – can become more informed and leveraged
when we dare to face the documented evidence that exists beneath the lies we
are told. See the Resource Tree at the bottom of this page for books and
links to facilitate your own inquiry.
Eugenics
and de-population programs were initiated by powerful families including the
Rockefellers, Carnegies and Harrimans at the beginning of the 20th century.
Their work inspired later dictators like Adolph Hitler to cull undesirable
portions of the populace.[5]
We have
been schooled to focus on Hitler as a unique madman who somehow got control
of a whole nation by himself, but as is usually the case, it is well
documented that Hitler was himself a puppet figure for the international
banking cabal that wanted to overthrow Stalin.[6]
The
genocidal agenda of the Nazis was forced underground after the defeat of the
Germans and their convictions at the Nuremburg trials, but a similar agenda
is re-surfacing all around the world in less obvious forms of aggressive
elimination of large numbers of people.[7]
In fact, many Nazi rocket scientist and mind control experimenters were
brought to America under a covert CIA program called Operation Paperclip.[8]
The
anonymously created Georgia Guidestones in Elbert County, Georgia, USA, have
enshrined the idea that 500 million people is the number that the Earth can
sustain.[9]
What
methods might the elite be using to involuntarily get rid of people? My
research leads me to believe that the vast amount of illness, sterility and
death due to the following human created afflictions is no accident:
The tragic
irony, to me, is that evidence is strong that populations tend to stabilize
when they have access to prosperity and education, not when they are
undermined or attacked.
“Diet,
injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce
the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider
desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become
psychologically impossible. Even if all are miserable, all will believe
themselves happy, because the government will tell them that they are so.” –
p62

“Gradually,
by selective breeding, the congenital differences between rulers and ruled
will increase until they become almost different species. A revolt of the
plebs would become as unthinkable as an organized insurrection of sheep
against the practice of eating mutton. (The Aztecs kept a domesticated alien
tribe for the purposes of cannibalism. Their regime was totalitarian)” – p63

“At
present the population of the world is increasing … War so far has had no
great effect on this increase … I do not pretend that birth control is the
only way in which population can be kept from increasing. There are others
… If a Black Death could be spread throughout the world once in every
generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too
full … the state of affairs might be somewhat unpleasant, but what of it?
Really high-minded people are indifferent to suffering, especially that of
other peoples. Here are three ways of securing a society that shall be stable
as regards population. The first is that of birth control, the second that of
infanticide or really destructive wars, and the third that of general misery
except for a powerful minority…” p18
– Bertrand Russell – The Impact of Science on Society, 1953
“…we
are in the process of developing a whole series of techniques which will
enable the controlling oligarchy who have always existed and presumably will
always exist to get people to love their servitude.”

“…there
is evidently a whole class of drugs effecting the CNS [central nervous
system] which can produce enormous changes in sedation in euphoria in
energizing the whole mental process without doing any perceptible harm to the
human body, and this presents to me the most extraordinary revolution. In the
hands of a dictator these substances in one kind or the other could be used
with, first of all, complete harmlessness, and the result would be, you can imagine
a euphoric that would make people thoroughly happy even in the most
abominable circumstances.draft of their ‘Global Biodiversity Assessment‘
states there must be a reduction of five billion people.”
– Julian Huxley, Berkeley, 1962
“…we
have about 50% of the world’s wealth but only 6.3 of its population… In
this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our
real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which
will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive
detriment to our national security. To do so we will have to dispense with
all sentimentality and daydreaming; and our attention will have to be
concentrated everywhere on our immediate national objectives. We need not
deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of altruism and world
benefaction…? We should stop putting ourselves in the position of being our
brothers’ keeper and refrain from offering moral and ideological advice. We
should cease to talk about vague … unreal objectives such as human rights,
the raising of the living standards, and democratization. The day is not far
off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we
are hampered by idealistic slogans, the better.”
– George Kennan, Top Secret Memo PPS23 to the
Secretary of State, 1948
In
“The First Global Revolution,” published by The Council of the Club
of Rome, an international elitist organization, the authors note that:
“In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that
pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine, and the
like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention
…The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.” 16
– The First Global Revolution, Club of Rome, 1991
“Inaction
today could mean that more drastic steps, less compatible with individual
choice and freedom, will seem necessary tomorrow to slow population growth.”
World Bank 1984 World Development Report
“…whereas
death control is extremely easy under modern circumstances, birth control is
extremely difficult. The reason is very simple: death control – the control,
for example, of infectious diseases – can be accomplished by a handful of
experts and quite a small labour force of unskilled persons and requires a
very small capital expenditure.”
– Aldous Huxley, 1959
“U.S.
policy toward the third world should be one of depopulation”
– Henry Kissinger, 1978

Jones.

Common
Objections to the Notion of Conspiracy

Government is too incompetent to pull off such a
vast conspiracy and keep it secret.

Pyramid – “need to know” basis
As
portrayed in THRIVE, the key to keeping secret an agenda as massive as what I
am describing is a “pyramid” structure, a “need to know” system, where people
only understand as much as they need to do accomplish their tasks, but no
more. That way only the individuals at the top of each pyramid know the full
plan. This is the way it works in the secret societies, the CIA, the banks,
the major corporations, the military, the media and on and on. Most people
involved in fulfilling the Global Domination Agenda would be horrified if
they actually understood what they are inadvertently contributing to. Just
such a compartmentalized apparatus was what allowed the US’s Manhattan
Project to develop the atomic bomb in secret despite having 130,000 people
working on it.
“The
great masses of people will more easily fall prey to a big lie than a small
one… Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they
will believe it…”
– Adolf Hitler
Secret Societies
At the top
of the Follow the Money pyramid, above even the Bank of International
Settlements are the so-called Secret Societies. They are called such because
there is little or no information that comes out revealing what got said,
done or decided behind closed doors. No press is allowed. Their members are
not allowed to take notes, and are sworn to absolute secrecy – often under
penalty of death. If the Bilderbergers, the Trilateral Commission, the
Masons, the Priory of Scion, the Council on Foreign Relations, Skull &
Bones, the Illuminati, the Committee of 300, The White Brotherhood, the Black
Nobility and so many others are really working for the good of all mankind,
wouldn’t it be appropriate to see a live feed on TV or the Internet of their
discussions and highest level decision making? (See Jim Marrs’ Rule by Secrecy and The Rise of the Fourth Reich, and The Secret Behind Secret Societies, Jon Rapaport, Secret Societies… And How the Affect Our Lives Today by
Sylvia Brown)
So what is
being kept so secret? My research has shown me that the main things having to
be kept from public view throughout history have to do with corruption of
money, power and sex.
The most
renowned groups seem to meet to allocate money and influence to consolidate
power for their own benefit – ultimately feeding the agenda for themselves to
rule the world and to keep the rest of the people at bay. The roster and
timing of known meetings shows a consistent pattern of this (Jim Tucker’s
Bilderberg Diary) and occasional leaked information confirms it. The
attendees are the people at the top of the pyramids of banking, media,
military, intelligence, government, education, corporations and organized
religion – or their agents. When they come out of their meetings, an
experienced eye can begin to see the desired stories, candidates, market
moves, coups, wars etc. appearing through the tentacles of the networks they
command.
But aren’t the Terrorists really out to get us because of our
freedom?

“Terrorism” = blowback
With no
actual threatening enemy to justify their vast military appropriations and
imperialist wars, the would-be controllers have created the bogey-man of
“terrorism” instead. Terrorism is not a person, a group or a nation. It is a
tactic. When I have “followed the money” upstream behind so-called acts
of terrorism, what I have found, virtually always, is blow-back from violent
aggression – victimized peoples trying to protect themselves from the
invasion of their sovereign nations, the destruction of their cultures and
economies, and the killing of innocent people.
In thinking
critically, I believe it is vital to consider what is really going on to
motivate people to desperate acts – and I certainly don’t see any evidence it
is that they “hate our freedom.” It’s worth pondering if the perpetrators of
the greatest terrorizing aren’t actually the “shock and awe” controllers
themselves.
The world is too big to rule, too complicated to dominate. And
besides, if they were trying, we would know about it.

Global Domination Checklist
In trying
to assess whether or not such a shocking and dangerous conspiracy as the
“GDA” could actually be true, I forced myself to think like a would-be
controller and figure out what I would need to take over in order to have a
shot at dominating the lives of everyone, everywhere. This was an immensely
unpleasant, but profoundly informative and useful process. I realized they
would have to try to take complete control over: money, energy, food and
water, health, education, media, justice, science, religion, the arts and
even the weather. They would have to sicken us, dumb us down, track our every
move, hack our voting, steep us in debt and keep us afraid. Unfortunately, as
you can read in the various Sectors of this site, that is exactly what they
have done…But not entirely.
Fortunately,
as of this writing, the elite have not been able to take over the Internet in
the western nations and there are a vast number of brilliant computer whizzes
out there who have organized to keep that from happening. They have not
completely taken over food or health supplements, though their GMO and Codex
Alimentarius efforts are vigorous. Such initiatives as organic growing,
homeschooling, indy media, alternative currency, holistic health and the “Occupy”
movements are booming.
10 Steps to Fascism
Author
Naomi Wolf, in The End of America, has researched and outlined the
10 key indicators of when a country is slipping into fascist control. See if
these sound hauntingly familiar:
1) Invoke
an External and Internal Threat
2)
Establish Secret Prisons
3) Develop
a Paramilitary Force
4) Surveil
Ordinary Citizens
5)
Infiltrate Citizen’s Groups
6)
Arbitrarily Detain and release Citizens
7) Target
Key Individuals
8) Restrict
the Press
9) Cast
Criticism as “Espionage” and Dissent as “Treason”
10) Subvert
the Rule of Law
“When
you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who
produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in
goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft
than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect
them against you… you may know that your society is doomed.”
–Ayn Rand, novelist & philosopher, author of Atlas Shrugged
Police State 2.0 Experiment
Author
Naomi Klein, in her article China’s All-Seeing Eye, reveals how the Chinese
system so admired by David Rockefeller has created a “model city” of the
future that gives a chilling vision of where the elite would like to take us.
In just 30 years, Shenzen has grown from empty terrain to 21.4 million
occupants who are continually subjected to “central planning, merciless
repression and constant surveillance.” There are-already over 200,000 cameras
in place with 2 million planned. The latest people tracking technologies are
a part of “Golden Shield,” a high-tech surveillance and censorship program,
and are supplied by the likes of IBM, Honeywell, and GE to create and test a
“police state 2.0” on a scale that would still be resisted in America.
If we could just get rid of weapons we could live in a safe
world.

Disarmament
As
thoroughly committed as I am to non-aggression and even to non-violent
self-defense (see Aikido) whenever possible, that does not mean I would stand
by and see someone raped or let someone hurt me or another or take their
rightfully gained property. America has a history of armed revolt in the face
of tyranny. Statistically in America there are about 9 guns for every 10
adults.
Throughout
history, when a would be dictator has plans to take over a people, one of the
first actions planned is “disarmament.” Always for good sounding reasons of
course – such as “for a more peace-loving secure world.” Not only was this
true in Germany (1938), Italy and China (1935), but also in Turkey (1911),
the Soviet Union (1929), Guatemala (1964), Uganda (1970), and Cambodia
(1956). But the outcome is always the same: the state and the crooks keep the
weapons and the ensuing police state meets much less resistance.
Australia
in 2008 forced gun owners to surrender 640,381 personal firearms for
destruction, at a cost of more than $500 million to the taxpayer. In a year,
with criminals more confident their victims would be unarmed, homicides were
up 6.2%. Assaults were up 9.6%. Robberies were up 44%.
It’s been
said that, “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what’s for dinner…
and Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.”
If there were a hidden agenda to rule the world, we could just
get rid of those in charge to stop it.

It’s the Agenda, Not Any One Person
It is
critical to realize that the Global Domination Agenda is not dependent on any
one person or small group for its survival. It is a worldview
institutionalized in man-made laws, kept in place by bribes and threats. It
has become in some ways a “legal mafia” because violations of contract
integrity, persons and property have been OK’d by legislation. Just a few
examples are: fraud and embezzlement (fiat money, swaps, short sales,
derivatives, subsidies, bailouts, corporate personhood, etc.) theft
(involuntary taxation, eminent domain land seizures), kidnapping (military
draft, extraordinary rendition, Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act…),
assault (mandatory vaccines, mandatory pesticide sprays, covert Chemtrails
spraying, sobriety checkpoints…) torture (“enhanced interrogation
techniques”)
So it is the
moral basis and transparency of all systems that must be transformed, and no
system can be imposed except in true self-defense.
“They
who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety,
deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
– Benjamin Franklin
Mind Control and Abuse
For me the
role of sexual abuse in this domination scheme is the bottom of the bottom,
the most repulsive part of the underbelly of what gets discovered as one
continues to follow the threads of money and power. My research has convinced
me that pedophilia and even Satanic rituals are an integral part of the lives
of many of the perpetrators of this agenda and is a part of the mind-control
system that operates in their covert plan for domination. This information is
not critical for understanding that there is a global domination agenda or
what we can do to achieve true liberty. I include it because I believe it is
true and reveals the level of disturbing perversion that underlies the psyche
of those in positions of vast power and the role of mind control (such as MK Ultra) that is involved in carrying out their agenda. I
suggest you pursue it only at the pace that works for you to integrate such a
disturbing realization into the larger picture of the vast love and awakening
that is emerging at this time on our planet. For  authoritative research
and first hand eye-witness and victim reports check out: Cathy
O’Brien
, Brice Taylor, Hollie Greig, Carolyn Hamlett,
the Franklin Cover-up.
As
horrifying as it is to think what is being done to so many of the most
defenseless among us, it was important for me to come to the realization that
many of these same controllers who seek to abuse children are also running
the major power centers of the world. Few of us get up in the morning
thinking how we can cause pain and suffering for others, but some do. And
their psychopathic or sociopathic capabilities to dissociate from human
suffering actually tend to be rewarded in the system of lies and deceptions
that is our political and financial structure. Recognizing that there are
individuals whose psyches have been distorted into destructive patterns like
this makes it even more imperative not to have a monopoly on money creation
and a monopoly on force like the current bankster-run state.
In his
scientific exploration, Political Ponerology, Andrew Lobaczewski traces the
backgrounds of prominent figures whose sociopathic personalities have led to
the deaths of millions. It is critical to understand that not only are there
those who long to do harm to individuals and the masses, but their lack of
moral values, integrity and compassion is rewarded in the corrupt power
structures of today.
Recognizing
that there are individuals whose psyches have been distorted into destructive
patterns like this makes it even more imperative not to have a monopoly on
money creation and a monopoly on force like the current bankster-run state.
Nobody would do such a thing.
Just
because most of the people we know would not harm anyone on purpose, it
doesn’t mean there are not those who could, would and choose to on a regular
basis. These are people who have disassociated from normal human feelings to
where they can knowingly run millions out of their jobs and homes, have
hundreds of thousands killed in unnecessary and illegitimate wars and sicken
intentionally countless others – and justify it with a worldview that says they
know best, they have a special right to rule and that they are making a
better world for the chosen by their cruelty to the many.
“Power
is the ultimate aphrodisiac.”
– Henry Kissinger, New York Times, Oct 28, 1973

What Are
the Global Elite Suppressing

The elite controllers have a
history of suppressing anything that threatens their own control or
money-controlling abilities, including revolutionary energy technologies.
They are literally suppressing the very information and solutions we need to
thrive on a healthy planet.
Scientists as far back as Nikola Tesla in the early 1900s have been
developing alternative ways to access electricity without combustion. Tesla
discovered the AC current that’s used all over the world today. He also
developed the ability to transmit electrical energy through the air like
radio waves, where they could be picked up with an antenna. He built the
Wardenclyffe Tower to demonstrate the capability to the world. But right
before his demonstration, banker JP Morgan ceased further funding and the
project was terminated. Morgan owned the copper mines and was making a
fortune from all the copper wires used to conduct electricity. Tesla’s
invention would have made those copper wires obsolete.
The suppression continues to this day. The US Patent Office has seized over
5000 alternative energy inventions claiming in the name of “Nation Security.”
Inventors such as John Hutchison, Adam Trombly, and John Bedini have all
invented similar new energy technologies – that have the potential to get us
off of oil so that everyone can access a universally abundant energy source –
but their labs have been raided and devices destroyed. To learn more about
it, go to the New Energy Technology section of the site.
But New Energy is just one example. Suppression reaches into every Sector
where the Agenda is looking to centralize control. A short list of just a few
examples of what is being suppressed or marginalized:
  • Organic growing
  • Natural and Raw Foods
  • Natural Supplements
  • Natural Cures
  • Medical Marijuana dispensaries
  • Independent radio stations
  • Alternative Currencies
  • Independent banks
  • Generic and imported medicines
  • Independent Investigations into 9/11
  • Alternate political candidates
  • Voting Machines with paper trails
  • Voting by people of color and soldiers
  • Home schooling
  • Freedom from vaccination
  • Privacy in the moving of personal money
  • Internet Privacy and equality of speed
    and access
  • Scientific information that questions
    the man-made global warming theories
  • Resistance to and Labeling of GMO foods
  • Transparency of the Federal Reserve and
    Black Budget appropriations

Quotes

Here’s what the elite themselves have to say about their agenda,
often referring to it as a “New World Order”:

“It
is a big idea, a New World Order, where diverse nations are drawn together
in common cause…When we are successful, and we will be, we have a real
chance at this New World Order, an order in which a credible United Nations
can use its peace-keeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the
UN’s founders.”

– George H. W. Bush, UN speech Sept. 11, 1991

“A
new world is emerging. It is a New World Order with significantly different
and radically new challenges for the future.”

– Gordon Brown, Prime Minister of England

“The
President of the United States and Europe have proposed various different
summits to look at new regulations and a New World Governance.”

– Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France

“It’s
the kind of occasion where the crisis calls into question all certainties
and minds are more open to change. The goal should be to devise a system of
global financial governance.”

– Jose Manuel Barroso, President of the European
Commission and Former Prime Minister of Portugal

“I
think his [Obama’s] task will be to develop an overall strategy for America
in this period when really a New World Order can be created. It’s a great
opportunity. It isn’t just a crisis.”

– Henry Kissinger, Secretary of State under President
Nixon and Ford

“By
the end of this decade we will live under the first One World Government
that has ever existed in the society of nations, a government with absolute
authority to decide the basic issues of human survival. One world
government is inevitable.”

– Pope John Paul II, 2000

Conclusions

After years of researching this
information I am convinced there is an elite group of people working very
hard to control the rest of us. It is becoming increasingly clear – with
evidence beyond reasonable doubt, that they have had the means, the motive
and the opportunity to establish an agenda for total global rule. I believe
they are attempting to create a one-world totalitarian authority that would
destroy freedom and life as we know it. The agenda is not dependent on any
one person or group. Its worldview must be exposed and its plan transcended.
Their main tool for control is money. To challenge their power, and regain
control of our lives, we can start by reforming the money system.
As we get sufficiently informed about the facts and the functioning of the
Global Domination Agenda, we can find ourselves suddenly able to make sense
of current events, to hear through the lies the corporate media is promoting,
and even to begin to anticipate the next moves planned for the further
centralization of power. People like David Icke, Alex Jones, Gerald Celente,
and Peter Schiff have been able to accurately predict events like 9/11, the
invasion of the Middle East, the Patriot Act and the global financial
collapse. Now knowledgeable sources are predicting attempts to create the
total collapse of the dollar, another major false flag catastrophe, martial
law, the takeover of the Internet, a one-world electronic currency based on
carbon credits, and a one-world government, tax and army. We too can
understand the agenda, take precautions, blow whistles and create viable
alternatives.
People all around the world are working on ingenious solutions to solve our
current predicament. Check them out in the Success
Stories
section of the site. If you see something that interests you,
consider taking action yourself. As we learn to look through the lens of
understanding the Global Domination Agenda, we can see how events are being
shaped to serve the elite agenda, and we can stop them. The “Occupy” Movement
that started on Wall St and has spread worldwide is a powerful example of
people from all walks of life genuinely looking for just, non-authoritarian,
non-partisan, principle and rights-based solutions. Now is the time to
liberate our true human potential and create a world that can work for
everyone and for future generations to come.

Introduction

When the Nazis came for the communists,

I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

-Martin Niemoeller
By Foster Gamble
What is keeping us from thriving? After a lifetime journey of pursuing that
question, my research revealed that a small group of financial elite have
gained control over key areas of our lives – energy, food, health care,
education and more – and are the single greatest threat to humanity’s ability
to thrive.
As I researched the problems in each Sector of human activity, I came to the
shocking realization that virtually every problem we face is human-caused.
But then I realized what good news this actually is. If there were a comet
plummeting toward Earth or the planet was careening out of orbit we would be
at a loss as to what to do. If, on the other hand, people caused it, we have
a better chance of being able to fix it as we wake up, expose corruption and
align with natural principles.
It is not that humans are incapable of thriving. It’s that we’ve been duped
into a system that is designed to consolidate wealth and power, rather than
provide a real opportunity for people to thrive. By exposing this agenda,
strategically challenging deceptive systems such as central banks and fiat
money, and coming up with new ways to organize and cooperate, we can obsolete
this destructive agenda and liberate our planet and our true human potential.
At first, an agenda to control others was hard for me to consider. But as I
spent many years getting myself educated about it, many things that hadn’t
made sense began to fall into place. A different story began to emerge which,
horrible as it was to consider, actually explained more than ever before and
provided a feeling achieving some traction in what I could do about our
predicament. I came to realize the desperate drive to dominate others is
based in a worldview of scarcity and fear. The controlling elite seem to
believe the only options are to control, or be controlled, and realizing that
gave me a better understanding of why they have chosen their current route.
Now it is up to the rest of us to transcend this destructive belief system
and show that we are capable of governing ourselves… that we actually can
thrive.

WHAT
is the Global Domination Agenda?

The global domination agenda
is a plan by powerful private bankers to take over all our primary systems
(money, energy, food, media, etc.) and to establish a sole global authority –
with themselves in charge. They use the media, central banks, multinational
corporations, governments, major foundations, and international agencies such
as the IMF and World Bank to implement their strategies. So far they have
successfully brought down countries across the globe, including Argentina,
Chile, Ecuador, Argentina, Tanzania, Indonesia, Brazil, Poland, Mexico,
Bolivia, Thailand, Iceland, the Soviet Union, Japan, Greece and scores of
others. They are now attempting to dismantle the U.S. by collapsing the dollar
and making sure Americans are in debt they can’t repay.
This pyramid shows the basic structure of control. The financial elite are at
the top. They use international and national central banks to control
corporations (which they loan to at special rates), manipulate national
economies and hence their governments, and get everyone in debt to the
bankers.
Regular working people, who produce most of the real wealth on this planet,
are at the bottom of the pyramid. As of 2007, the richest 2% of adults owned
more than 50% of the global assets[1] and
as of 2010, one out of every seven people didn’t have enough to eat.[2]
Material wealth and resources continue to funnel up to the financial elite,
while domination and control come down through the international banking
structure and the corporations and governments below them. It’s important to
note that the strength of the pyramid is in its base. As people wake up and
withdraw their support, the corrupt money structure will lose its control.

Conspiracy

Conspiracy: an evil, unlawful,
treacherous, or surreptitious plan formulated in secret by two or more
persons; plot.
(dictionary.com)
Until recently, the controllers have been quite successful at insulting the
idea that there might actually be conspiracies going on. “Conspiracy
theorists… wackos…paranoid nut cases.” It has been made socially
unacceptable to challenge big lies that we are told, because someone might
make fun of us. But “conspiracy THEORY” has been turning into “conspiracy
ANALYSIS” and finally into conspiracy FACT. When President George Bush Sr.
got busted for covertly selling arms to the Contras, his administration was
convicted of …Conspiracy. When the AMA tried to shut down the emergence of
Chiropractic, they were found guilty of…Conspiracy. Here are a few more of
countless examples of proven conspiracies:
And here are some well-informed voices from 20th century history:
“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views
confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in
the Field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know
that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so
interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above
their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”

– Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom (1913)
“The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim,
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. This system was to be 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. The apex
of the system was the Bank for International Settlements in Basle,
Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the worlds’ central banks
which were themselves private corporations. The growth of financial
capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic control and use
of this power for the direct benefit of financiers and the indirect injury of
all other economic groups.”

– Professor Carroll Quigley of Georgetown University, highly esteemed by
his former student, William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, in Tragedy and Hope: A
History of The World in Our Time (Macmillan Company, 1966).
“The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a
one-world government combining supercapitalism and Communism under the same
tent, all under their control…. Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am
convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in
planning, and incredibly evil in intent.”

– Congressman Larry P. McDonald, 1976, killed in the crash of a Korean
Airlines 747.
“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 (2000)
“In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all
states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn’t
such a great idea after all.”

– Strobe Talbot, President Clinton’s Deputy Secretary of State, as quoted
in Time, July 20th, l992
“We shall have world government whether or not you like it, by
conquest or consent.”

– James Warburg, member of Council on Foreign Relations, in his statement
to The Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 17th, l950
“It seems to me that the nature of the ultimate revolution with which
we are now faced is precisely this: That we are in the process of developing
a whole series of techniques which will enable the controlling oligarchy who
have always existed and presumably will always exist, to get people to love
their servitude.”

– Aldous Huxley, 1962 speech at Berkeley

WHO
is Implementing the Agenda?

Efforts to conquer and colonize are as old as history, but
it was creating the deception of “monopolized central banking” – where a few
individuals get to just make up money out of nothing – and “fractional
reserve” lending – where bankers get to lend and charge interest on money
they don’t actually have – that gave the elite the means by which they could
hope to actually rule the world. The first central bank was the Bank of
Amsterdam – founded in 1609 – and then in 1694 King William III teamed up
with UK aristocracy to launch the private Bank of England.
Elite private bankers – including the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, and
Morgans – and members of such secret societies as the Council on Foreign
Relations, The Bilderberg Group, the Trilateral Commission, and the Royal
Institute of Affairs are setting and implementing the current agenda.
*Secret Societies
“The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with
other governments, with emperors, kings and ministers, but also with the
secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at
the last moment upset all the governments’ plans. “

– British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, 1876
“The Council on Foreign Relations is “the
establishment.” Not only does it have influence and power in key
decision-making positions at the highest levels of government to apply
pressure from above, but it also announces and uses individuals and groups to
bring pressure from below, to justify the high level decisions for converting
the U.S. from a sovereign Constitutional Republic into a servile member state
of a one-world dictatorship.”

– Former Congressman John Rarick, 1971
“The Trilateral Commission 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. The
Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize
control and consolidate the four centers of power — political, monetary,
intellectual and ecclesiastical. What the Trilateral Commission intends is to
create a worldwide economic power superior to the political governments of
the nation states involved. As managers and creators of the system, they will
rule the future.”

– U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater in his l964 book: With No Apologies.
Control of currencies is the core of their power methodology. The elite
financed Mussolini and Hitler, planned WWI and II, and financed all sides in
order to cull the population and consolidate their power. For more than a
century, their goal has been to create a single global government. The
attempt to create a League of Nations after WWI Was funded by the
Rockefellers and the Rothschilds. The plan failed, but was revived as the
United Nations after WWII on land in New York gifted by the Rockefellers. As
wonderful as it’s made out to be, with its diversity and “peacekeepers,” the
UN seems to be the front organization for the One World Authority –with NATO
as its militant arm and the World Bank as its financial enforcer. All the
organizations below as well as the World Health Organization, The World Trade
Organization were created by the Rockefellers, Rothschilds or Morgans.
Only a handful of nations – like Iran, Cuba, Libya, North Korea, Sudan and
until recently Iraq – have not succumbed to the elite’s central banking
takeover scheme. This seems to play a major unspoken role in determining the
New World Order’s imperialist hit-list, the so-called “axis of evil.”

economic booms and busts by these elite private bankers, click here.

money system, but over almost every other sector of human activity, check out
the “Follow the Money” section of the site.
As described in the timeline, the Rothschilds are the
oldest, wealthiest and most powerful European Central Banking family. Their
rise to financial dominance began with Mayer Amschel Rothschild in Frankfurt,
Germany where he set up a finance house.
His five sons were spread throughout Europe in the late 1700s and early 1800s – in Frankfurt, Vienna, London, Naples, and Paris – forming a financial dynasty. In June of 1815, Nathan Rothschild’s secret courier network was the first to make it back to London with news that Napoleon’s French troops had been defeated by the British at Waterloo. Rothschild, who, as usual, had funded both sides in the war, cunningly pretended that the French had won and started dumping British “consuls” on the stock exchange. The market plummeted and then Nathan quietly started buying up everything in sight, and by the time the real news of Britain’s success in the battle reached the public in London, the House of Rothschild had bought control of the British economy. By the mid 1800s they dominated the banking industry, funding people such as the Morgans, Vanderbilts, Carnegies, and Cecil Rhodes.

Rothschild Group

The Rothschilds’ influence spread to the U.S. as well. They financed the
house of Morgan and sent associate Paul Warburg, a partner in Kuhn, Loeb
& Co. to meet with other private bankers on Jekyll Island to secretly
draft the Federal Reserve Act that was passed in 1913. This allowed bankers
to create 90% of our money supply and loan it out at interest – a sure way to
be highly profitable and influential while also allowing private bankers to
run the national economy. Indeed, as Mayer Amschel Rothschild once said,
“Give me control over a nation’s currency, and I care not who makes its laws.”
The Rothschild’s continue to wield tremendous power and control, though
virtually always behind the scenes. Some researchers have estimated their
fortune today could exceed $100 trillion. (The Federal Reserve Cartel: Part
III by Dean Henderson)
A couple of the
many palatial Rothschild estates.
Today, N.M. Rothschild & Sons is their main investment
banking operation based out of London. It is one of the top 10 global
investment banks for M&A advisory. In 2007, they did $566 billion worth
of trades, more than 12% of the market share – and this is just what is known
publicly. They have banks set up all over the world, making them shareholders
in numerous Central Banks and granting them tremendous decision-making
powers.
In 1998, Gaylon Ross Sr, author of Who’s Who of the Global Elite,
wrote that he had been tipped by a private source that the combined wealth of
the Rothschild family was then approximately $100 Trillion and that of the
Rockefellers was $11 Trillion.
The Rockefellers are
particularly dominant in America. They got started in the 19th century with
funding from JP Morgan, who was the American front man for the Rothschilds.
John D. Rockefeller was funded to help develop and control oil resources. As
oil increased in demand, John D. Rockefeller’s wealth grew and he became the
first American billionaire. With this money came a tremendous amount of power
and control, not only in oil, but all sectors of society. Much of the family
wealth has been funneled through “philanthropic” organizations such as the
Rockefeller Foundation.
Contributions and funding from the Rockefeller Foundation may look good on
the surface, however, the control that comes from it is vast. For example,
the current medical model originated with the Rockefeller’s around the turn
of the century. In the early 1900’s, John D. Rockefeller set up the Institute
for Medical Research that laid the foundation for health research and
development.
Then in 1913, the Rockefeller Foundation became one of
the  largest funders of medical research. They hand-picked scientists
and doctors who were considered worthy of funding, with a heavy emphasis on
pharmacology. This drug-treatment paradigm was carried over into the
universities, many of which are still funded or were initially established by
the Rockefeller Foundation. In this way, drug-based medical care has become
the norm. It’s a similar story in all other sectors, which you can track in
the “Follow the Money” section of the site.
In banking, the Rockefeller’s have had an ownership stake in Chase ever
since 1930, when they merged the Rockefeller-owned Equitable Trust Company of
New York with Chase National Bank. In the 1970s and 1980s Chase Manhattan was
run by David Rockefeller. Then Chase Manhattan merged with J.P. Morgan and
Co. in 2000.
“For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of
the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack
the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over
American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we 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, Memoirs, 2002
“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the NY Times, Time
Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our
meetings and respected their promise of discretion for almost forty years… It
would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had
been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the
world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world
government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world
bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in
past centuries.”
– David Rockefeller at a meeting in June of 1991 of the Bilderberg Group in
Baden Baden, Germany.
“Competition is a sin.”
– John D. Rockefeller
The Morgans – J.P.
Morgan was the front-man for the Rothschilds around the turn of the century.
He has a history of profiting from crises, as detailed in the timeline above.
In both banking panics of 1893 and 1907, he intervened creating the illusion
of economic stability while consolidating wealth for his company. J.P. Morgan
also benefitted from the Great Depression. When “Black Thursday” hit in 1929
he bought up cheap stocks to “keep the economy afloat.” While people endured
extreme hardship, J.P. Morgan walked away with significant financial gains.
Today Morgan’s strategy lives on in Chase and CitiGroup. I believe these
banking powerhouses were largely responsible for the most recent economic
collapse. They were well aware of their destructive behavior but did nothing
to stop it. In the end these banks were bailed out by taxpayer debt and
gained huge profits while their competitors went under and people lost their
homes, jobs, and retirement funds. I am convinced this was no accident – it
was an intentional power and money grab that has happened throughout the
course of history.
“Fifty men have run America, and that’s a high figure.”
– Joseph Kennedy, father of JFK, in the July 26th, l936 issue of The New
York Times
“…when the struggle seems to be drifting definitely towards a
world social democracy, there may still be very great delays and
disappointments before it becomes an efficient and beneficent world system.
Countless people… will hate the new world order… and will die protesting
against it. When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind
the distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant
and graceful-looking people.”
– H. G. Wells, in his book entitled The New World Order (1939)
“The government of the Western nations, whether monarchical or
republican, had passed into the invisible hands of a plutocracy,
international in power and grasp. It was, I venture to suggest, this
semi-occult power which… pushed the mass of the American people into the
cauldron of World War I.”
– British military historian Major General J.F.C. Fuller, l941
“The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power
from behind the scenes.”
– Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, 1952
“Today the path of total dictatorship in the United States can be
laid by strictly legal means (just as they where in Nazi Germany), unseen and
unheard by the Congress, the President, or the people. 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.”
– Senator William Jenner, 1954

HOW
is the Agenda Implemented?

Citizens wouldn’t simply stand by and let others take
control of their lives, unless it was concealed in some way. Part of the
shrewdness behind the agenda is that it is disguised so well that people even
contribute to their own demise without knowing it. Most of us end up craving
more credit and accepting more taxes to bail out those who are robbing us in
the first place. We are giving our money to these elite controllers every
time we make a deposit in one of their banks. They have convinced us that not
only do we need them, but also that what’s good for them is good for us, and
nothing could be further from the truth. Catherine Austin Fitts describes
this as a “tapeworm economy.”
The global elite also utilize and sometimes manufacture tragic events to
further their control. They do this either through a strategy referred to as
“Problem-Reaction-Solution,” the “Strategy of Tension” or the “Shock
Doctrine,” or False Flag Operations.
Problem-Reaction-Solution
goes something like this:
(1) Create or capitalize on a problem.
(2) Incite a fearful reaction.
(3) Implement an already prepared, and previously unacceptable “solution”
that further centralizes control.
False Flag Operations
Another deceptive strategy for consolidating power is “False Flag”
Operations – named after the old technique of attacking a group using an
enemy’s banner instead of ones’ own to misdirect the ensuing counterattack.
These manufactured and often tragic events allow the elite to acquire
resources, reap profit from wars, and erode our rights. They are disguised to
generate a predictable reaction – public fear – to help serve the controlling
interests. Some examples include:
World War I – this war
was ignited by a fake terror assassination event of Archduke Franz Ferdinand
of Austria.
The Lusitania – in 1915 was sailed into hostile waters with armaments from
the Morgan banking interests hidden in the hold of the passenger ship.[3] The subsequent sinking by German U boats and
the loss of thousands of lives was apparently used to awake the anger of the
American people to get them into the War.
An intentionally set fire in the German Reichstag building in 1933 enabled
the Nazis to set up “emergency laws” as a “crackdown on terrorism” and
justify the police state.
World War II – started
around a staged attack by the Germans on one of their own radio stations –
which they then blamed on the Poles.
There is documented proof that President Franklin Roosevelt knew from
decoded Japanese messages, that they were planning to attack Pearl Harbor,
but he kept it secret in order to get them to “fire the first shot,” because
that would motivate the American population to get into the War in Europe.[4]
Operation Northwoods
in 1962 was a covert CIA operation (now unclassified and fully documented) to
paint a plane with Red Cross colors, shoot it down and blame Castro, so the
US would have an excuse to invade Cuba. President Kennedy refused to go along
with the plan.
Vietnam War – Gulf of Tonkin
– Former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara acknowledged that the attack of
a ship in the Gulf of Tonkin, which was the catalyst for the US entry into
the Viet Nam War, actually never happened.
9/11 – The evidence is
vast and growing of complicity by some individuals within the US Government
and financial sector in the attacks of September 11, 2001 on the World Trade
Towers and the Pentagon. Architects, engineers, physicists, whistle blowers,
investigative reporters and filmmakers are all behind a growing 9/11 truth
movement (see Architects
and Engineers for 9/11 Truth
).
“…the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and
denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to
greater danger.”
– Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials
“The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a
conspiracy so monstrous, he cannot believe it exists.”
– J. Edgar Hoover

Covert
De-population

The notion of intentional depopulation is difficult to
consider. I wrestled with whether to include it in the film and on this site.
I am taking the risk of discussing it because I believe that we will not be
sufficiently astute in our assessment of what is going on until we allow for
the possibility of this perverse reality. Food and water additives, aerial
spraying, contaminated vaccines, man-made weather catastrophes through HAARP,
and endless wars look different through the lens of depopulation, and the
dangers – and our responses to them – can become more informed and leveraged
when we dare to face the documented evidence that exists beneath the lies we
are told. See the Resource Tree at the bottom of this page for books and
links to facilitate your own inquiry.
Eugenics and de-population programs were initiated by powerful families
including the Rockefellers, Carnegies and Harrimans at the beginning of the
20th century. Their work inspired later dictators like Adolph Hitler to cull
undesirable portions of the populace.[5]
We have been schooled to focus on Hitler as a unique madman who somehow
got control of a whole nation by himself, but as is usually the case, it is
well documented that Hitler was himself a puppet figure for the international
banking cabal that wanted to overthrow Stalin.[6]
The genocidal agenda of the Nazis was forced underground after the defeat
of the Germans and their convictions at the Nuremburg trials, but a similar
agenda is re-surfacing all around the world in less obvious forms of
aggressive elimination of large numbers of people.[7]
In fact, many Nazi rocket scientist and mind control experimenters were
brought to America under a covert CIA program called Operation Paperclip.[8]
The anonymously created Georgia Guidestones in Elbert County, Georgia,
USA, have enshrined the idea that 500 million people is the number that the
Earth can sustain.[9]
What methods might the elite be using to involuntarily get rid of people?
My research leads me to believe that the vast amount of illness, sterility
and death due to the following human created afflictions is no accident:
The tragic irony, to me, is that evidence is strong that populations tend
to stabilize when they have access to prosperity and education, not when they
are undermined or attacked.
“Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early
age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the
authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that
be will become psychologically impossible. Even if all are miserable, all
will believe themselves happy, because the government will tell them that
they are so.” – p62

“Gradually, by selective breeding, the congenital differences
between rulers and ruled will increase until they become almost different
species. A revolt of the plebs would become as unthinkable as an organized
insurrection of sheep against the practice of eating mutton. (The Aztecs kept
a domesticated alien tribe for the purposes of cannibalism. Their regime was
totalitarian)” – p63

“At present the population of the world is increasing … War so
far has had no great effect on this increase … I do not pretend that birth
control is the only way in which population can be kept from increasing.
There are others … If a Black Death could be spread throughout the world
once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the
world too full … the state of affairs might be somewhat unpleasant, but
what of it? Really high-minded people are indifferent to suffering, especially
that of other peoples. Here are three ways of securing a society that shall
be stable as regards population. The first is that of birth control, the
second that of infanticide or really destructive wars, and the third that of
general misery except for a powerful minority…” p18
– Bertrand Russell – The Impact of Science on
Society
, 1953
“…we are in the process of developing a whole series of
techniques which will enable the controlling oligarchy who have always
existed and presumably will always exist to get people to love their
servitude.”

“…there is evidently a whole class of drugs effecting the CNS
[central nervous system] which can produce enormous changes in sedation in
euphoria in energizing the whole mental process without doing any perceptible
harm to the human body, and this presents to me the most extraordinary
revolution. In the hands of a dictator these substances in one kind or the
other could be used with, first of all, complete harmlessness, and the result
would be, you can imagine a euphoric that would make people thoroughly happy
even in the most abominable circumstances.draft of their ‘Global Biodiversity
Assessment‘ states there must be a reduction of five billion people.”
– Julian Huxley, Berkeley, 1962
“…we have about 50% of the world’s wealth but only 6.3 of its
population… In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and
resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of
relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity
without positive detriment to our national security. To do so we will have to
dispense with all sentimentality and daydreaming; and our attention will have
to be concentrated everywhere on our immediate national objectives. We need not
deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of altruism and world
benefaction…? We should stop putting ourselves in the position of being our
brothers’ keeper and refrain from offering moral and ideological advice. We
should cease to talk about vague … unreal objectives such as human rights,
the raising of the living standards, and democratization. The day is not far
off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we
are hampered by idealistic slogans, the better.”
– George Kennan, Top Secret Memo PPS23 to the
Secretary of State, 1948
In “The First Global Revolution,” published by The Council
of the Club of Rome, an international elitist organization, the authors note
that: “In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the
idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine,
and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human
intervention …The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.” 16
– The First Global Revolution, Club of Rome, 1991
“Inaction today could mean that more drastic steps, less compatible
with individual choice and freedom, will seem necessary tomorrow to slow
population growth.”
World Bank 1984 World Development Report
“…whereas death control is extremely easy under modern
circumstances, birth control is extremely difficult. The reason is very
simple: death control – the control, for example, of infectious diseases –
can be accomplished by a handful of experts and quite a small labour force of
unskilled persons and requires a very small capital expenditure.”
– Aldous Huxley, 1959
“U.S. policy toward the third world should be one of depopulation”
– Henry Kissinger, 1978

Common
Objections to the Notion of Conspiracy

Government is too
incompetent to pull off such a vast conspiracy and keep it secret.

Pyramid – “need to know” basis
As portrayed in THRIVE, the key to keeping secret an agenda as massive as
what I am describing is a “pyramid” structure, a “need to know” system, where
people only understand as much as they need to do accomplish their tasks, but
no more. That way only the individuals at the top of each pyramid know the
full plan. This is the way it works in the secret societies, the CIA, the
banks, the major corporations, the military, the media and on and on. Most
people involved in fulfilling the Global Domination Agenda would be horrified
if they actually understood what they are inadvertently contributing to. Just
such a compartmentalized apparatus was what allowed the US’s Manhattan
Project to develop the atomic bomb in secret despite having 130,000 people
working on it.
“The great masses of people will more easily fall prey to a big lie
than a small one… Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and
eventually they will believe it…”
– Adolf Hitler
Secret Societies
At the top of the Follow the Money pyramid, above even the Bank of
International Settlements are the so-called Secret Societies. They are called
such because there is little or no information that comes out revealing what
got said, done or decided behind closed doors. No press is allowed. Their
members are not allowed to take notes, and are sworn to absolute secrecy –
often under penalty of death. If the Bilderbergers, the Trilateral
Commission, the Masons, the Priory of Scion, the Council on Foreign
Relations, Skull & Bones, the Illuminati, the Committee of 300, The White
Brotherhood, the Black Nobility and so many others are really working for the
good of all mankind, wouldn’t it be appropriate to see a live feed on TV or
the Internet of their discussions and highest level decision making? (See Jim
Marrs’ Rule by Secrecy and The Rise of the Fourth Reich, and The Secret Behind Secret Societies, Jon Rapaport, Secret Societies… And How the Affect Our Lives Today by
Sylvia Brown)
So what is being kept so secret? My research has shown me that the main
things having to be kept from public view throughout history have to do with
corruption of money, power and sex.
The most renowned groups seem to meet to allocate money and influence to
consolidate power for their own benefit – ultimately feeding the agenda for
themselves to rule the world and to keep the rest of the people at bay. The
roster and timing of known meetings shows a consistent pattern of this (Jim
Tucker’s Bilderberg Diary) and occasional leaked information confirms it. The
attendees are the people at the top of the pyramids of banking, media,
military, intelligence, government, education, corporations and organized
religion – or their agents. When they come out of their meetings, an
experienced eye can begin to see the desired stories, candidates, market
moves, coups, wars etc. appearing through the tentacles of the networks they
command.
But aren’t the Terrorists really
out to get us because of our freedom?

“Terrorism” = blowback
With no actual threatening enemy to justify their vast military
appropriations and imperialist wars, the would-be controllers have created
the bogey-man of “terrorism” instead. Terrorism is not a person, a group or a
nation. It is a tactic. When I have “followed the money” upstream behind
so-called acts of terrorism, what I have found, virtually always, is
blow-back from violent aggression – victimized peoples trying to protect
themselves from the invasion of their sovereign nations, the destruction of
their cultures and economies, and the killing of innocent people.
In thinking critically, I believe it is vital to consider what is really
going on to motivate people to desperate acts – and I certainly don’t see any
evidence it is that they “hate our freedom.” It’s worth pondering if the
perpetrators of the greatest terrorizing aren’t actually the “shock and awe”
controllers themselves.
The world is too big to rule, too
complicated to dominate. And besides, if they were trying, we would know
about it.

Global Domination Checklist
In trying to assess whether or not such a shocking and dangerous
conspiracy as the “GDA” could actually be true, I forced myself to think like
a would-be controller and figure out what I would need to take over in order
to have a shot at dominating the lives of everyone, everywhere. This was an
immensely unpleasant, but profoundly informative and useful process. I
realized they would have to try to take complete control over: money, energy,
food and water, health, education, media, justice, science, religion, the
arts and even the weather. They would have to sicken us, dumb us down, track
our every move, hack our voting, steep us in debt and keep us afraid.
Unfortunately, as you can read in the various Sectors of this site, that is
exactly what they have done…But not entirely.
Fortunately, as of this writing, the elite have not been able to take over
the Internet in the western nations and there are a vast number of brilliant
computer whizzes out there who have organized to keep that from happening.
They have not completely taken over food or health supplements, though their
GMO and Codex Alimentarius efforts are vigorous. Such initiatives as organic
growing, homeschooling, indy media, alternative currency, holistic health and
the “Occupy” movements are booming.
10 Steps to Fascism
Author Naomi Wolf, in The End of America, has researched and
outlined the 10 key indicators of when a country is slipping into fascist
control. See if these sound hauntingly familiar:
1) Invoke an External and Internal Threat
2) Establish Secret Prisons
3) Develop a Paramilitary Force
4) Surveil Ordinary Citizens
5) Infiltrate Citizen’s Groups
6) Arbitrarily Detain and release Citizens
7) Target Key Individuals
8) Restrict the Press
9) Cast Criticism as “Espionage” and Dissent as “Treason”
10) Subvert the Rule of Law
“When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain
permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing
to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich
more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you
against them, but protect them against you… you may know that your society is
doomed.”
–Ayn Rand, novelist & philosopher, author of Atlas Shrugged
Police State 2.0 Experiment
Author Naomi Klein, in her article China’s All-Seeing Eye, reveals how the
Chinese system so admired by David Rockefeller has created a “model city” of
the future that gives a chilling vision of where the elite would like to take
us. In just 30 years, Shenzen has grown from empty terrain to 21.4 million
occupants who are continually subjected to “central planning, merciless
repression and constant surveillance.” There are-already over 200,000 cameras
in place with 2 million planned. The latest people tracking technologies are
a part of “Golden Shield,” a high-tech surveillance and censorship program,
and are supplied by the likes of IBM, Honeywell, and GE to create and test a
“police state 2.0” on a scale that would still be resisted in America.
If we could just get rid of weapons
we could live in a safe world.

Disarmament
As thoroughly committed as I am to non-aggression and even to non-violent
self-defense (see Aikido) whenever possible, that does not mean I would stand
by and see someone raped or let someone hurt me or another or take their
rightfully gained property. America has a history of armed revolt in the face
of tyranny. Statistically in America there are about 9 guns for every 10
adults.
Throughout history, when a would be dictator has plans to take over a
people, one of the first actions planned is “disarmament.” Always for good
sounding reasons of course – such as “for a more peace-loving secure world.”
Not only was this true in Germany (1938), Italy and China (1935), but also in
Turkey (1911), the Soviet Union (1929), Guatemala (1964), Uganda (1970), and
Cambodia (1956). But the outcome is always the same: the state and the crooks
keep the weapons and the ensuing police state meets much less resistance.
Australia in 2008 forced gun owners to surrender 640,381 personal firearms
for destruction, at a cost of more than $500 million to the taxpayer. In a
year, with criminals more confident their victims would be unarmed, homicides
were up 6.2%. Assaults were up 9.6%. Robberies were up 44%.
It’s been said that, “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what’s
for dinner… and Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.”
If there were a hidden agenda to
rule the world, we could just get rid of those in charge to stop it.

It’s the Agenda, Not Any One Person
It is critical to realize that the Global Domination Agenda is not
dependent on any one person or small group for its survival. It is a
worldview institutionalized in man-made laws, kept in place by bribes and
threats. It has become in some ways a “legal mafia” because violations of
contract integrity, persons and property have been OK’d by legislation. Just
a few examples are: fraud and embezzlement (fiat money, swaps, short sales,
derivatives, subsidies, bailouts, corporate personhood, etc.) theft
(involuntary taxation, eminent domain land seizures), kidnapping (military
draft, extraordinary rendition, Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act…),
assault (mandatory vaccines, mandatory pesticide sprays, covert Chemtrails
spraying, sobriety checkpoints…) torture (“enhanced interrogation
techniques”)
So it is the moral basis and transparency of all systems that must be
transformed, and no system can be imposed except in true self-defense.
“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary
safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
– Benjamin Franklin
Mind Control and Abuse
For me the role of sexual abuse in this domination scheme is the bottom of
the bottom, the most repulsive part of the underbelly of what gets discovered
as one continues to follow the threads of money and power. My research has
convinced me that pedophilia and even Satanic rituals are an integral part of
the lives of many of the perpetrators of this agenda and is a part of the
mind-control system that operates in their covert plan for domination. This
information is not critical for understanding that there is a global
domination agenda or what we can do to achieve true liberty. I include it
because I believe it is true and reveals the level of disturbing perversion
that underlies the psyche of those in positions of vast power and the role of
mind control (such as MK Ultra) that is involved
in carrying out their agenda. I suggest you pursue it only at the pace that
works for you to integrate such a disturbing realization into the larger
picture of the vast love and awakening that is emerging at this time on our
planet. For  authoritative research and first hand eye-witness and
victim reports check out: Cathy
O’Brien
, Brice Taylor, Hollie Greig, Carolyn Hamlett,
the Franklin Cover-up.
As horrifying as it is to think what is being done to so many of the most
defenseless among us, it was important for me to come to the realization that
many of these same controllers who seek to abuse children are also running
the major power centers of the world. Few of us get up in the morning
thinking how we can cause pain and suffering for others, but some do. And
their psychopathic or sociopathic capabilities to dissociate from human
suffering actually tend to be rewarded in the system of lies and deceptions
that is our political and financial structure. Recognizing that there are
individuals whose psyches have been distorted into destructive patterns like
this makes it even more imperative not to have a monopoly on money creation
and a monopoly on force like the current bankster-run state.
In his scientific exploration, Political Ponerology, Andrew Lobaczewski
traces the backgrounds of prominent figures whose sociopathic personalities
have led to the deaths of millions. It is critical to understand that not
only are there those who long to do harm to individuals and the masses, but
their lack of moral values, integrity and compassion is rewarded in the
corrupt power structures of today.
Recognizing that there are individuals whose psyches have been distorted
into destructive patterns like this makes it even more imperative not to have
a monopoly on money creation and a monopoly on force like the current
bankster-run state.
Nobody would do such a thing.
Just because most of the people we know would not harm anyone on purpose,
it doesn’t mean there are not those who could, would and choose to on a
regular basis. These are people who have disassociated from normal human
feelings to where they can knowingly run millions out of their jobs and
homes, have hundreds of thousands killed in unnecessary and illegitimate wars
and sicken intentionally countless others – and justify it with a worldview
that says they know best, they have a special right to rule and that they are
making a better world for the chosen by their cruelty to the many.
“Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.”
– Henry Kissinger, New York Times, Oct 28, 1973

What
Are the Global Elite Suppressing

The elite controllers have a
history of suppressing anything that threatens their own control or
money-controlling abilities, including revolutionary energy technologies.
They are literally suppressing the very information and solutions we need to
thrive on a healthy planet.
Scientists as far back as Nikola Tesla in the early 1900s have been
developing alternative ways to access electricity without combustion. Tesla
discovered the AC current that’s used all over the world today. He also
developed the ability to transmit electrical energy through the air like
radio waves, where they could be picked up with an antenna. He built the
Wardenclyffe Tower to demonstrate the capability to the world. But right
before his demonstration, banker JP Morgan ceased further funding and the
project was terminated. Morgan owned the copper mines and was making a
fortune from all the copper wires used to conduct electricity. Tesla’s
invention would have made those copper wires obsolete.
The suppression continues to this day. The US Patent Office has seized over
5000 alternative energy inventions claiming in the name of “Nation Security.”
Inventors such as John Hutchison, Adam Trombly, and John Bedini have all
invented similar new energy technologies – that have the potential to get us
off of oil so that everyone can access a universally abundant energy source –
but their labs have been raided and devices destroyed. To learn more about
it, go to the New Energy Technology section of the site.
But New Energy is just one example. Suppression reaches into every Sector
where the Agenda is looking to centralize control. A short list of just a few
examples of what is being suppressed or marginalized:
  • Organic growing
  • Natural and Raw Foods
  • Natural Supplements
  • Natural Cures
  • Medical Marijuana
    dispensaries
  • Independent radio
    stations
  • Alternative Currencies
  • Independent banks
  • Generic and imported
    medicines
  • Independent
    Investigations into 9/11
  • Alternate political
    candidates
  • Voting Machines with
    paper trails
  • Voting by people of
    color and soldiers
  • Home schooling
  • Freedom from
    vaccination
  • Privacy in the moving
    of personal money
  • Internet Privacy and
    equality of speed and access
  • Scientific information
    that questions the man-made global warming theories
  • Resistance to and
    Labeling of GMO foods
  • Transparency of the
    Federal Reserve and Black Budget appropriations

Quotes

Here’s what the elite themselves have to say about their
agenda, often referring to it as a “New World Order”:

“It is a big idea, a New World Order, where diverse nations are drawn
together in common cause…When we are successful, and we will be, we have a
real chance at this New World Order, an order in which a credible United
Nations can use its peace-keeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of
the UN’s founders.”

– George H. W. Bush, UN speech Sept. 11, 1991

“A new world is emerging. It is a New World Order with significantly
different and radically new challenges for the future.”

– Gordon Brown, Prime Minister of England

“The President of the United States and Europe have proposed various
different summits to look at new regulations and a New World Governance.”

– Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France

“It’s the kind of occasion where the crisis calls into question all
certainties and minds are more open to change. The goal should be to devise
a system of global financial governance.”

– Jose Manuel Barroso, President of the European
Commission and Former Prime Minister of Portugal

“I think his [Obama’s] task will be to develop an overall strategy for
America in this period when really a New World Order can be created. It’s a
great opportunity. It isn’t just a crisis.”

– Henry Kissinger, Secretary of State under President
Nixon and Ford

“By the end of this decade we will live under the first One World
Government that has ever existed in the society of nations, a government
with absolute authority to decide the basic issues of human survival. One
world government is inevitable.”

– Pope John Paul II, 2000

Conclusions

After years of researching
this information I am convinced there is an elite group of people working
very hard to control the rest of us. It is becoming increasingly clear – with
evidence beyond reasonable doubt, that they have had the means, the motive
and the opportunity to establish an agenda for total global rule. I believe
they are attempting to create a one-world totalitarian authority that would
destroy freedom and life as we know it. The agenda is not dependent on any
one person or group. Its worldview must be exposed and its plan transcended.
Their main tool for control is money. To challenge their power, and regain
control of our lives, we can start by reforming the money system.
As we get sufficiently informed about the facts and the functioning of the
Global Domination Agenda, we can find ourselves suddenly able to make sense
of current events, to hear through the lies the corporate media is promoting,
and even to begin to anticipate the next moves planned for the further
centralization of power. People like David Icke, Alex Jones, Gerald Celente,
and Peter Schiff have been able to accurately predict events like 9/11, the
invasion of the Middle East, the Patriot Act and the global financial
collapse. Now knowledgeable sources are predicting attempts to create the
total collapse of the dollar, another major false flag catastrophe, martial
law, the takeover of the Internet, a one-world electronic currency based on
carbon credits, and a one-world government, tax and army. We too can
understand the agenda, take precautions, blow whistles and create viable
alternatives.
People all around the world are working on ingenious solutions to solve our
current predicament. Check them out in the Success
Stories
section of the site. If you see something that interests you,
consider taking action yourself. As we learn to look through the lens of
understanding the Global Domination Agenda, we can see how events are being
shaped to serve the elite agenda, and we can stop them. The “Occupy” Movement
that started on Wall St and has spread worldwide is a powerful example of
people from all walks of life genuinely looking for just, non-authoritarian,
non-partisan, principle and rights-based solutions. Now is the time to
liberate our true human potential and create a world that can work for
everyone and for future generations to come.

Introduction

When the Nazis came for the communists,

I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

-Martin Niemoeller
By Foster Gamble
What is keeping us from thriving? After a lifetime journey of pursuing that
question, my research revealed that a small group of financial elite have
gained control over key areas of our lives – energy, food, health care,
education and more – and are the single greatest threat to humanity’s ability
to thrive.
As I researched the problems in each Sector of human activity, I came to the
shocking realization that virtually every problem we face is human-caused.
But then I realized what good news this actually is. If there were a comet
plummeting toward Earth or the planet was careening out of orbit we would be
at a loss as to what to do. If, on the other hand, people caused it, we have
a better chance of being able to fix it as we wake up, expose corruption and
align with natural principles.
It is not that humans are incapable of thriving. It’s that we’ve been duped
into a system that is designed to consolidate wealth and power, rather than
provide a real opportunity for people to thrive. By exposing this agenda,
strategically challenging deceptive systems such as central banks and fiat
money, and coming up with new ways to organize and cooperate, we can obsolete
this destructive agenda and liberate our planet and our true human potential.
At first, an agenda to control others was hard for me to consider. But as I
spent many years getting myself educated about it, many things that hadn’t
made sense began to fall into place. A different story began to emerge which,
horrible as it was to consider, actually explained more than ever before and
provided a feeling achieving some traction in what I could do about our
predicament. I came to realize the desperate drive to dominate others is
based in a worldview of scarcity and fear. The controlling elite seem to
believe the only options are to control, or be controlled, and realizing that
gave me a better understanding of why they have chosen their current route.
Now it is up to the rest of us to transcend this destructive belief system
and show that we are capable of governing ourselves… that we actually can
thrive.

WHAT
is the Global Domination Agenda?

The global domination agenda
is a plan by powerful private bankers to take over all our primary systems
(money, energy, food, media, etc.) and to establish a sole global authority –
with themselves in charge. They use the media, central banks, multinational
corporations, governments, major foundations, and international agencies such
as the IMF and World Bank to implement their strategies. So far they have
successfully brought down countries across the globe, including Argentina,
Chile, Ecuador, Argentina, Tanzania, Indonesia, Brazil, Poland, Mexico,
Bolivia, Thailand, Iceland, the Soviet Union, Japan, Greece and scores of
others. They are now attempting to dismantle the U.S. by collapsing the dollar
and making sure Americans are in debt they can’t repay.
This pyramid shows the basic structure of control. The financial elite are at
the top. They use international and national central banks to control
corporations (which they loan to at special rates), manipulate national
economies and hence their governments, and get everyone in debt to the
bankers.
Regular working people, who produce most of the real wealth on this planet,
are at the bottom of the pyramid. As of 2007, the richest 2% of adults owned
more than 50% of the global assets[1] and
as of 2010, one out of every seven people didn’t have enough to eat.[2]
Material wealth and resources continue to funnel up to the financial elite,
while domination and control come down through the international banking
structure and the corporations and governments below them. It’s important to
note that the strength of the pyramid is in its base. As people wake up and
withdraw their support, the corrupt money structure will lose its control.

Conspiracy

Conspiracy: an evil, unlawful,
treacherous, or surreptitious plan formulated in secret by two or more
persons; plot.
(dictionary.com)
Until recently, the controllers have been quite successful at insulting the
idea that there might actually be conspiracies going on. “Conspiracy
theorists… wackos…paranoid nut cases.” It has been made socially
unacceptable to challenge big lies that we are told, because someone might
make fun of us. But “conspiracy THEORY” has been turning into “conspiracy
ANALYSIS” and finally into conspiracy FACT. When President George Bush Sr.
got busted for covertly selling arms to the Contras, his administration was
convicted of …Conspiracy. When the AMA tried to shut down the emergence of
Chiropractic, they were found guilty of…Conspiracy. Here are a few more of
countless examples of proven conspiracies:
And here are some well-informed voices from 20th century history:
“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views
confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in
the Field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know
that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so
interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above
their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”

– Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom (1913)
“The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim,
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. This system was to be 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. The apex
of the system was the Bank for International Settlements in Basle,
Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the worlds’ central banks
which were themselves private corporations. The growth of financial
capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic control and use
of this power for the direct benefit of financiers and the indirect injury of
all other economic groups.”

– Professor Carroll Quigley of Georgetown University, highly esteemed by
his former student, William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, in Tragedy and Hope: A
History of The World in Our Time (Macmillan Company, 1966).
“The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a
one-world government combining supercapitalism and Communism under the same
tent, all under their control…. Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am
convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in
planning, and incredibly evil in intent.”

– Congressman Larry P. McDonald, 1976, killed in the crash of a Korean
Airlines 747.
“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 (2000)
“In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all
states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn’t
such a great idea after all.”

– Strobe Talbot, President Clinton’s Deputy Secretary of State, as quoted
in Time, July 20th, l992
“We shall have world government whether or not you like it, by
conquest or consent.”

– James Warburg, member of Council on Foreign Relations, in his statement
to The Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February 17th, l950
“It seems to me that the nature of the ultimate revolution with which
we are now faced is precisely this: That we are in the process of developing
a whole series of techniques which will enable the controlling oligarchy who
have always existed and presumably will always exist, to get people to love
their servitude.”

– Aldous Huxley, 1962 speech at Berkeley

WHO
is Implementing the Agenda?

Efforts to conquer and colonize are as old as history, but
it was creating the deception of “monopolized central banking” – where a few
individuals get to just make up money out of nothing – and “fractional
reserve” lending – where bankers get to lend and charge interest on money
they don’t actually have – that gave the elite the means by which they could
hope to actually rule the world. The first central bank was the Bank of
Amsterdam – founded in 1609 – and then in 1694 King William III teamed up
with UK aristocracy to launch the private Bank of England.
Elite private bankers – including the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, and
Morgans – and members of such secret societies as the Council on Foreign
Relations, The Bilderberg Group, the Trilateral Commission, and the Royal
Institute of Affairs are setting and implementing the current agenda.
*Secret Societies
“The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with
other governments, with emperors, kings and ministers, but also with the
secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at
the last moment upset all the governments’ plans. “

– British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, 1876
“The Council on Foreign Relations is “the
establishment.” Not only does it have influence and power in key
decision-making positions at the highest levels of government to apply
pressure from above, but it also announces and uses individuals and groups to
bring pressure from below, to justify the high level decisions for converting
the U.S. from a sovereign Constitutional Republic into a servile member state
of a one-world dictatorship.”

– Former Congressman John Rarick, 1971
“The Trilateral Commission 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. The
Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize
control and consolidate the four centers of power — political, monetary,
intellectual and ecclesiastical. What the Trilateral Commission intends is to
create a worldwide economic power superior to the political governments of
the nation states involved. As managers and creators of the system, they will
rule the future.”

– U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater in his l964 book: With No Apologies.
Control of currencies is the core of their power methodology. The elite
financed Mussolini and Hitler, planned WWI and II, and financed all sides in
order to cull the population and consolidate their power. For more than a
century, their goal has been to create a single global government. The
attempt to create a League of Nations after WWI Was funded by the
Rockefellers and the Rothschilds. The plan failed, but was revived as the
United Nations after WWII on land in New York gifted by the Rockefellers. As
wonderful as it’s made out to be, with its diversity and “peacekeepers,” the
UN seems to be the front organization for the One World Authority –with NATO
as its militant arm and the World Bank as its financial enforcer. All the
organizations below as well as the World Health Organization, The World Trade
Organization were created by the Rockefellers, Rothschilds or Morgans.
Only a handful of nations – like Iran, Cuba, Libya, North Korea, Sudan and
until recently Iraq – have not succumbed to the elite’s central banking
takeover scheme. This seems to play a major unspoken role in determining the
New World Order’s imperialist hit-list, the so-called “axis of evil.”

banking system, the suppression of alternatives, and the manipulation of
economic booms and busts by these elite private bankers, click here.
To see how these same elite bankers have gained control not only over our
money system, but over almost every other sector of human activity, check out
the “Follow the Money” section of the site.
As described in the timeline, the Rothschilds are the
oldest, wealthiest and most powerful European Central Banking family. Their
rise to financial dominance began with Mayer Amschel Rothschild in Frankfurt,
Germany where he set up a finance house.
His five sons were spread throughout Europe in the late 1700s and early 1800s – in Frankfurt, Vienna, London, Naples, and Paris – forming a financial dynasty. In June of 1815, Nathan Rothschild’s secret courier network was the first to make it back to London with news that Napoleon’s French troops had been defeated by the British at Waterloo. Rothschild, who, as usual, had funded both sides in the war, cunningly pretended that the French had won and started dumping British “consuls” on the stock exchange. The market plummeted and then Nathan quietly started buying up everything in sight, and by the time the real news of Britain’s success in the battle reached the public in London, the House of Rothschild had bought control of the British economy. By the mid 1800s they dominated the banking industry, funding people such as the Morgans, Vanderbilts, Carnegies, and Cecil Rhodes.

Rothschild Group

The Rothschilds’ influence spread to the U.S. as well. They financed the
house of Morgan and sent associate Paul Warburg, a partner in Kuhn, Loeb
& Co. to meet with other private bankers on Jekyll Island to secretly
draft the Federal Reserve Act that was passed in 1913. This allowed bankers
to create 90% of our money supply and loan it out at interest – a sure way to
be highly profitable and influential while also allowing private bankers to
run the national economy. Indeed, as Mayer Amschel Rothschild once said,
“Give me control over a nation’s currency, and I care not who makes its laws.”
The Rothschild’s continue to wield tremendous power and control, though
virtually always behind the scenes. Some researchers have estimated their
fortune today could exceed $100 trillion. (The Federal Reserve Cartel: Part
III by Dean Henderson)
A couple of the
many palatial Rothschild estates.
Today, N.M. Rothschild & Sons is their main investment
banking operation based out of London. It is one of the top 10 global
investment banks for M&A advisory. In 2007, they did $566 billion worth
of trades, more than 12% of the market share – and this is just what is known
publicly. They have banks set up all over the world, making them shareholders
in numerous Central Banks and granting them tremendous decision-making
powers.
In 1998, Gaylon Ross Sr, author of Who’s Who of the Global Elite,
wrote that he had been tipped by a private source that the combined wealth of
the Rothschild family was then approximately $100 Trillion and that of the
Rockefellers was $11 Trillion.
The Rockefellers are
particularly dominant in America. They got started in the 19th century with
funding from JP Morgan, who was the American front man for the Rothschilds.
John D. Rockefeller was funded to help develop and control oil resources. As
oil increased in demand, John D. Rockefeller’s wealth grew and he became the
first American billionaire. With this money came a tremendous amount of power
and control, not only in oil, but all sectors of society. Much of the family
wealth has been funneled through “philanthropic” organizations such as the
Rockefeller Foundation.
Contributions and funding from the Rockefeller Foundation may look good on
the surface, however, the control that comes from it is vast. For example,
the current medical model originated with the Rockefeller’s around the turn
of the century. In the early 1900’s, John D. Rockefeller set up the Institute
for Medical Research that laid the foundation for health research and
development.
Then in 1913, the Rockefeller Foundation became one of
the  largest funders of medical research. They hand-picked scientists
and doctors who were considered worthy of funding, with a heavy emphasis on
pharmacology. This drug-treatment paradigm was carried over into the
universities, many of which are still funded or were initially established by
the Rockefeller Foundation. In this way, drug-based medical care has become
the norm. It’s a similar story in all other sectors, which you can track in
the “Follow the Money” section of the site.
In banking, the Rockefeller’s have had an ownership stake in Chase ever
since 1930, when they merged the Rockefeller-owned Equitable Trust Company of
New York with Chase National Bank. In the 1970s and 1980s Chase Manhattan was
run by David Rockefeller. Then Chase Manhattan merged with J.P. Morgan and
Co. in 2000.
“For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of
the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack
the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over
American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we 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, Memoirs, 2002
“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the NY Times, Time
Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our
meetings and respected their promise of discretion for almost forty years… It
would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had
been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the
world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world
government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world
bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in
past centuries.”
– David Rockefeller at a meeting in June of 1991 of the Bilderberg Group in
Baden Baden, Germany.
“Competition is a sin.”
– John D. Rockefeller
The Morgans – J.P.
Morgan was the front-man for the Rothschilds around the turn of the century.
He has a history of profiting from crises, as detailed in the timeline above.
In both banking panics of 1893 and 1907, he intervened creating the illusion
of economic stability while consolidating wealth for his company. J.P. Morgan
also benefitted from the Great Depression. When “Black Thursday” hit in 1929
he bought up cheap stocks to “keep the economy afloat.” While people endured
extreme hardship, J.P. Morgan walked away with significant financial gains.
Today Morgan’s strategy lives on in Chase and CitiGroup. I believe these
banking powerhouses were largely responsible for the most recent economic
collapse. They were well aware of their destructive behavior but did nothing
to stop it. In the end these banks were bailed out by taxpayer debt and
gained huge profits while their competitors went under and people lost their
homes, jobs, and retirement funds. I am convinced this was no accident – it
was an intentional power and money grab that has happened throughout the
course of history.
“Fifty men have run America, and that’s a high figure.”
– Joseph Kennedy, father of JFK, in the July 26th, l936 issue of The New
York Times
“…when the struggle seems to be drifting definitely towards a
world social democracy, there may still be very great delays and
disappointments before it becomes an efficient and beneficent world system.
Countless people… will hate the new world order… and will die protesting
against it. When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind
the distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant
and graceful-looking people.”
– H. G. Wells, in his book entitled The New World Order (1939)
“The government of the Western nations, whether monarchical or
republican, had passed into the invisible hands of a plutocracy,
international in power and grasp. It was, I venture to suggest, this
semi-occult power which… pushed the mass of the American people into the
cauldron of World War I.”
– British military historian Major General J.F.C. Fuller, l941
“The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power
from behind the scenes.”
– Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, 1952
“Today the path of total dictatorship in the United States can be
laid by strictly legal means (just as they where in Nazi Germany), unseen and
unheard by the Congress, the President, or the people. 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.”
– Senator William Jenner, 1954

HOW
is the Agenda Implemented?

Citizens wouldn’t simply stand by and let others take
control of their lives, unless it was concealed in some way. Part of the
shrewdness behind the agenda is that it is disguised so well that people even
contribute to their own demise without knowing it. Most of us end up craving
more credit and accepting more taxes to bail out those who are robbing us in
the first place. We are giving our money to these elite controllers every
time we make a deposit in one of their banks. They have convinced us that not
only do we need them, but also that what’s good for them is good for us, and
nothing could be further from the truth. Catherine Austin Fitts describes
this as a “tapeworm economy.”
The global elite also utilize and sometimes manufacture tragic events to
further their control. They do this either through a strategy referred to as
“Problem-Reaction-Solution,” the “Strategy of Tension” or the “Shock
Doctrine,” or False Flag Operations.
Problem-Reaction-Solution
goes something like this:
(1) Create or capitalize on a problem.
(2) Incite a fearful reaction.
(3) Implement an already prepared, and previously unacceptable “solution”
that further centralizes control.
False Flag Operations
Another deceptive strategy for consolidating power is “False Flag”
Operations – named after the old technique of attacking a group using an
enemy’s banner instead of ones’ own to misdirect the ensuing counterattack.
These manufactured and often tragic events allow the elite to acquire
resources, reap profit from wars, and erode our rights. They are disguised to
generate a predictable reaction – public fear – to help serve the controlling
interests. Some examples include:
World War I – this war
was ignited by a fake terror assassination event of Archduke Franz Ferdinand
of Austria.
The Lusitania – in 1915 was sailed into hostile waters with armaments from
the Morgan banking interests hidden in the hold of the passenger ship.[3] The subsequent sinking by German U boats and
the loss of thousands of lives was apparently used to awake the anger of the
American people to get them into the War.
An intentionally set fire in the German Reichstag building in 1933 enabled
the Nazis to set up “emergency laws” as a “crackdown on terrorism” and
justify the police state.
World War II – started
around a staged attack by the Germans on one of their own radio stations –
which they then blamed on the Poles.
There is documented proof that President Franklin Roosevelt knew from
decoded Japanese messages, that they were planning to attack Pearl Harbor,
but he kept it secret in order to get them to “fire the first shot,” because
that would motivate the American population to get into the War in Europe.[4]
Operation Northwoods
in 1962 was a covert CIA operation (now unclassified and fully documented) to
paint a plane with Red Cross colors, shoot it down and blame Castro, so the
US would have an excuse to invade Cuba. President Kennedy refused to go along
with the plan.
Vietnam War – Gulf of Tonkin
– Former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara acknowledged that the attack of
a ship in the Gulf of Tonkin, which was the catalyst for the US entry into
the Viet Nam War, actually never happened.
9/11 – The evidence is
vast and growing of complicity by some individuals within the US Government
and financial sector in the attacks of September 11, 2001 on the World Trade
Towers and the Pentagon. Architects, engineers, physicists, whistle blowers,
investigative reporters and filmmakers are all behind a growing 9/11 truth
movement (see Architects
and Engineers for 9/11 Truth
).
“…the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and
denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to
greater danger.”
– Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials
“The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a
conspiracy so monstrous, he cannot believe it exists.”
– J. Edgar Hoover

Covert
De-population

The notion of intentional depopulation is difficult to
consider. I wrestled with whether to include it in the film and on this site.
I am taking the risk of discussing it because I believe that we will not be
sufficiently astute in our assessment of what is going on until we allow for
the possibility of this perverse reality. Food and water additives, aerial
spraying, contaminated vaccines, man-made weather catastrophes through HAARP,
and endless wars look different through the lens of depopulation, and the
dangers – and our responses to them – can become more informed and leveraged
when we dare to face the documented evidence that exists beneath the lies we

Eugenics and de-population programs were initiated by powerful families
including the Rockefellers, Carnegies and Harrimans at the beginning of the
20th century. Their work inspired later dictators like Adolph Hitler to cull
undesirable portions of the populace.[5]
We have been schooled to focus on Hitler as a unique madman who somehow
got control of a whole nation by himself, but as is usually the case, it is
well documented that Hitler was himself a puppet figure for the international
banking cabal that wanted to overthrow Stalin.[6]
The genocidal agenda of the Nazis was forced underground after the defeat
of the Germans and their convictions at the Nuremburg trials, but a similar
agenda is re-surfacing all around the world in less obvious forms of
aggressive elimination of large numbers of people.[7]
In fact, many Nazi rocket scientist and mind control experimenters were
brought to America under a covert CIA program called Operation Paperclip.[8]
The anonymously created Georgia Guidestones in Elbert County, Georgia,
USA, have enshrined the idea that 500 million people is the number that the
Earth can sustain.[9]
What methods might the elite be using to involuntarily get rid of people?
My research leads me to believe that the vast amount of illness, sterility
and death due to the following human created afflictions is no accident:
The tragic irony, to me, is that evidence is strong that populations tend
to stabilize when they have access to prosperity and education, not when they
are undermined or attacked.
“Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early
age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the
authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that
be will become psychologically impossible. Even if all are miserable, all
will believe themselves happy, because the government will tell them that
they are so.” – p62

“Gradually, by selective breeding, the congenital differences
between rulers and ruled will increase until they become almost different
species. A revolt of the plebs would become as unthinkable as an organized
insurrection of sheep against the practice of eating mutton. (The Aztecs kept
a domesticated alien tribe for the purposes of cannibalism. Their regime was
totalitarian)” – p63

“At present the population of the world is increasing … War so
far has had no great effect on this increase … I do not pretend that birth
control is the only way in which population can be kept from increasing.
There are others … If a Black Death could be spread throughout the world
once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the
world too full … the state of affairs might be somewhat unpleasant, but
what of it? Really high-minded people are indifferent to suffering, especially
that of other peoples. Here are three ways of securing a society that shall
be stable as regards population. The first is that of birth control, the
second that of infanticide or really destructive wars, and the third that of
general misery except for a powerful minority…” p18
– Bertrand Russell – The Impact of Science on
Society
, 1953
“…we are in the process of developing a whole series of
techniques which will enable the controlling oligarchy who have always
existed and presumably will always exist to get people to love their
servitude.”

“…there is evidently a whole class of drugs effecting the CNS
[central nervous system] which can produce enormous changes in sedation in
euphoria in energizing the whole mental process without doing any perceptible
harm to the human body, and this presents to me the most extraordinary
revolution. In the hands of a dictator these substances in one kind or the
other could be used with, first of all, complete harmlessness, and the result
would be, you can imagine a euphoric that would make people thoroughly happy
even in the most abominable circumstances.draft of their ‘Global Biodiversity
Assessment‘ states there must be a reduction of five billion people.”
– Julian Huxley, Berkeley, 1962
“…we have about 50% of the world’s wealth but only 6.3 of its
population… In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and
resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of
relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity
without positive detriment to our national security. To do so we will have to
dispense with all sentimentality and daydreaming; and our attention will have
to be concentrated everywhere on our immediate national objectives. We need not
deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of altruism and world
benefaction…? We should stop putting ourselves in the position of being our
brothers’ keeper and refrain from offering moral and ideological advice. We
should cease to talk about vague … unreal objectives such as human rights,
the raising of the living standards, and democratization. The day is not far
off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we
are hampered by idealistic slogans, the better.”
– George Kennan, Top Secret Memo PPS23 to the
Secretary of State, 1948
In “The First Global Revolution,” published by The Council
of the Club of Rome, an international elitist organization, the authors note
that: “In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the
idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine,
and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human
intervention …The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.” 16
– The First Global Revolution, Club of Rome, 1991
“Inaction today could mean that more drastic steps, less compatible
with individual choice and freedom, will seem necessary tomorrow to slow
population growth.”
World Bank 1984 World Development Report
“…whereas death control is extremely easy under modern
circumstances, birth control is extremely difficult. The reason is very
simple: death control – the control, for example, of infectious diseases –
can be accomplished by a handful of experts and quite a small labour force of
unskilled persons and requires a very small capital expenditure.”
– Aldous Huxley, 1959
“U.S. policy toward the third world should be one of depopulation”
– Henry Kissinger, 1978

Common
Objections to the Notion of Conspiracy

Government is too
incompetent to pull off such a vast conspiracy and keep it secret.

Pyramid – “need to know” basis
As portrayed in THRIVE, the key to keeping secret an agenda as massive as
what I am describing is a “pyramid” structure, a “need to know” system, where
people only understand as much as they need to do accomplish their tasks, but
no more. That way only the individuals at the top of each pyramid know the
full plan. This is the way it works in the secret societies, the CIA, the
banks, the major corporations, the military, the media and on and on. Most
people involved in fulfilling the Global Domination Agenda would be horrified
if they actually understood what they are inadvertently contributing to. Just
such a compartmentalized apparatus was what allowed the US’s Manhattan
Project to develop the atomic bomb in secret despite having 130,000 people
working on it.
“The great masses of people will more easily fall prey to a big lie
than a small one… Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and
eventually they will believe it…”
– Adolf Hitler
Secret Societies
At the top of the Follow the Money pyramid, above even the Bank of
International Settlements are the so-called Secret Societies. They are called
such because there is little or no information that comes out revealing what
got said, done or decided behind closed doors. No press is allowed. Their
members are not allowed to take notes, and are sworn to absolute secrecy –
often under penalty of death. If the Bilderbergers, the Trilateral
Commission, the Masons, the Priory of Scion, the Council on Foreign
Relations, Skull & Bones, the Illuminati, the Committee of 300, The White
Brotherhood, the Black Nobility and so many others are really working for the
good of all mankind, wouldn’t it be appropriate to see a live feed on TV or
the Internet of their discussions and highest level decision making? (See Jim
Marrs’ Rule by Secrecy and The Rise of the Fourth Reich, and The Secret Behind Secret Societies, Jon Rapaport, Secret Societies… And How the Affect Our Lives Today by
Sylvia Brown)
So what is being kept so secret? My research has shown me that the main
things having to be kept from public view throughout history have to do with
corruption of money, power and sex.
The most renowned groups seem to meet to allocate money and influence to
consolidate power for their own benefit – ultimately feeding the agenda for
themselves to rule the world and to keep the rest of the people at bay. The
roster and timing of known meetings shows a consistent pattern of this (Jim
Tucker’s Bilderberg Diary) and occasional leaked information confirms it. The
attendees are the people at the top of the pyramids of banking, media,
military, intelligence, government, education, corporations and organized
religion – or their agents. When they come out of their meetings, an
experienced eye can begin to see the desired stories, candidates, market
moves, coups, wars etc. appearing through the tentacles of the networks they
command.
But aren’t the Terrorists really
out to get us because of our freedom?

“Terrorism” = blowback
With no actual threatening enemy to justify their vast military
appropriations and imperialist wars, the would-be controllers have created
the bogey-man of “terrorism” instead. Terrorism is not a person, a group or a
nation. It is a tactic. When I have “followed the money” upstream behind
so-called acts of terrorism, what I have found, virtually always, is
blow-back from violent aggression – victimized peoples trying to protect
themselves from the invasion of their sovereign nations, the destruction of
their cultures and economies, and the killing of innocent people.
In thinking critically, I believe it is vital to consider what is really
going on to motivate people to desperate acts – and I certainly don’t see any
evidence it is that they “hate our freedom.” It’s worth pondering if the
perpetrators of the greatest terrorizing aren’t actually the “shock and awe”
controllers themselves.
The world is too big to rule, too
complicated to dominate. And besides, if they were trying, we would know
about it.

Global Domination Checklist
In trying to assess whether or not such a shocking and dangerous
conspiracy as the “GDA” could actually be true, I forced myself to think like
a would-be controller and figure out what I would need to take over in order
to have a shot at dominating the lives of everyone, everywhere. This was an
immensely unpleasant, but profoundly informative and useful process. I
realized they would have to try to take complete control over: money, energy,
food and water, health, education, media, justice, science, religion, the
arts and even the weather. They would have to sicken us, dumb us down, track
our every move, hack our voting, steep us in debt and keep us afraid.
Unfortunately, as you can read in the various Sectors of this site, that is
exactly what they have done…But not entirely.
Fortunately, as of this writing, the elite have not been able to take over
the Internet in the western nations and there are a vast number of brilliant
computer whizzes out there who have organized to keep that from happening.
They have not completely taken over food or health supplements, though their
GMO and Codex Alimentarius efforts are vigorous. Such initiatives as organic
growing, homeschooling, indy media, alternative currency, holistic health and
the “Occupy” movements are booming.
10 Steps to Fascism
Author Naomi Wolf, in The End of America, has researched and
outlined the 10 key indicators of when a country is slipping into fascist
control. See if these sound hauntingly familiar:
1) Invoke an External and Internal Threat
2) Establish Secret Prisons
3) Develop a Paramilitary Force
4) Surveil Ordinary Citizens
5) Infiltrate Citizen’s Groups
6) Arbitrarily Detain and release Citizens
7) Target Key Individuals
8) Restrict the Press
9) Cast Criticism as “Espionage” and Dissent as “Treason”
10) Subvert the Rule of Law
“When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain
permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing
to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich
more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you
against them, but protect them against you… you may know that your society is
doomed.”
–Ayn Rand, novelist & philosopher, author of Atlas Shrugged
Police State 2.0 Experiment
Author Naomi Klein, in her article China’s All-Seeing Eye, reveals how the
Chinese system so admired by David Rockefeller has created a “model city” of
the future that gives a chilling vision of where the elite would like to take
us. In just 30 years, Shenzen has grown from empty terrain to 21.4 million
occupants who are continually subjected to “central planning, merciless
repression and constant surveillance.” There are-already over 200,000 cameras
in place with 2 million planned. The latest people tracking technologies are
a part of “Golden Shield,” a high-tech surveillance and censorship program,
and are supplied by the likes of IBM, Honeywell, and GE to create and test a
“police state 2.0” on a scale that would still be resisted in America.
If we could just get rid of weapons
we could live in a safe world.

Disarmament
As thoroughly committed as I am to non-aggression and even to non-violent
self-defense (see Aikido) whenever possible, that does not mean I would stand
by and see someone raped or let someone hurt me or another or take their
rightfully gained property. America has a history of armed revolt in the face
of tyranny. Statistically in America there are about 9 guns for every 10
adults.
Throughout history, when a would be dictator has plans to take over a
people, one of the first actions planned is “disarmament.” Always for good
sounding reasons of course – such as “for a more peace-loving secure world.”
Not only was this true in Germany (1938), Italy and China (1935), but also in
Turkey (1911), the Soviet Union (1929), Guatemala (1964), Uganda (1970), and
Cambodia (1956). But the outcome is always the same: the state and the crooks
keep the weapons and the ensuing police state meets much less resistance.
Australia in 2008 forced gun owners to surrender 640,381 personal firearms
for destruction, at a cost of more than $500 million to the taxpayer. In a
year, with criminals more confident their victims would be unarmed, homicides
were up 6.2%. Assaults were up 9.6%. Robberies were up 44%.
It’s been said that, “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what’s
for dinner… and Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.”
If there were a hidden agenda to
rule the world, we could just get rid of those in charge to stop it.

It’s the Agenda, Not Any One Person
It is critical to realize that the Global Domination Agenda is not
dependent on any one person or small group for its survival. It is a
worldview institutionalized in man-made laws, kept in place by bribes and
threats. It has become in some ways a “legal mafia” because violations of
contract integrity, persons and property have been OK’d by legislation. Just
a few examples are: fraud and embezzlement (fiat money, swaps, short sales,
derivatives, subsidies, bailouts, corporate personhood, etc.) theft
(involuntary taxation, eminent domain land seizures), kidnapping (military
draft, extraordinary rendition, Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act…),
assault (mandatory vaccines, mandatory pesticide sprays, covert Chemtrails
spraying, sobriety checkpoints…) torture (“enhanced interrogation
techniques”)
So it is the moral basis and transparency of all systems that must be
transformed, and no system can be imposed except in true self-defense.
“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary
safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
– Benjamin Franklin
Mind Control and Abuse
For me the role of sexual abuse in this domination scheme is the bottom of
the bottom, the most repulsive part of the underbelly of what gets discovered
as one continues to follow the threads of money and power. My research has
convinced me that pedophilia and even Satanic rituals are an integral part of
the lives of many of the perpetrators of this agenda and is a part of the
mind-control system that operates in their covert plan for domination. This
information is not critical for understanding that there is a global
domination agenda or what we can do to achieve true liberty. I include it
because I believe it is true and reveals the level of disturbing perversion
that underlies the psyche of those in positions of vast power and the role of
mind control (such as MK Ultra) that is involved
in carrying out their agenda. I suggest you pursue it only at the pace that
works for you to integrate such a disturbing realization into the larger
picture of the vast love and awakening that is emerging at this time on our
planet. For  authoritative research and first hand eye-witness and
victim reports check out: Cathy
O’Brien
, Brice Taylor, Hollie Greig, Carolyn Hamlett,
the Franklin Cover-up.
As horrifying as it is to think what is being done to so many of the most
defenseless among us, it was important for me to come to the realization that
many of these same controllers who seek to abuse children are also running
the major power centers of the world. Few of us get up in the morning
thinking how we can cause pain and suffering for others, but some do. And
their psychopathic or sociopathic capabilities to dissociate from human
suffering actually tend to be rewarded in the system of lies and deceptions
that is our political and financial structure. Recognizing that there are
individuals whose psyches have been distorted into destructive patterns like
this makes it even more imperative not to have a monopoly on money creation
and a monopoly on force like the current bankster-run state.
In his scientific exploration, Political Ponerology, Andrew Lobaczewski
traces the backgrounds of prominent figures whose sociopathic personalities
have led to the deaths of millions. It is critical to understand that not
only are there those who long to do harm to individuals and the masses, but
their lack of moral values, integrity and compassion is rewarded in the
corrupt power structures of today.
Recognizing that there are individuals whose psyches have been distorted
into destructive patterns like this makes it even more imperative not to have
a monopoly on money creation and a monopoly on force like the current
bankster-run state.
Nobody would do such a thing.
Just because most of the people we know would not harm anyone on purpose,
it doesn’t mean there are not those who could, would and choose to on a
regular basis. These are people who have disassociated from normal human
feelings to where they can knowingly run millions out of their jobs and
homes, have hundreds of thousands killed in unnecessary and illegitimate wars
and sicken intentionally countless others – and justify it with a worldview
that says they know best, they have a special right to rule and that they are
making a better world for the chosen by their cruelty to the many.
“Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.”
– Henry Kissinger, New York Times, Oct 28, 1973

What
Are the Global Elite Suppressing

The elite controllers have a
history of suppressing anything that threatens their own control or
money-controlling abilities, including revolutionary energy technologies.
They are literally suppressing the very information and solutions we need to
thrive on a healthy planet.
Scientists as far back as Nikola Tesla in the early 1900s have been
developing alternative ways to access electricity without combustion. Tesla
discovered the AC current that’s used all over the world today. He also
developed the ability to transmit electrical energy through the air like
radio waves, where they could be picked up with an antenna. He built the
Wardenclyffe Tower to demonstrate the capability to the world. But right
before his demonstration, banker JP Morgan ceased further funding and the
project was terminated. Morgan owned the copper mines and was making a
fortune from all the copper wires used to conduct electricity. Tesla’s
invention would have made those copper wires obsolete.
The suppression continues to this day. The US Patent Office has seized over
5000 alternative energy inventions claiming in the name of “Nation Security.”
Inventors such as John Hutchison, Adam Trombly, and John Bedini have all
invented similar new energy technologies – that have the potential to get us
off of oil so that everyone can access a universally abundant energy source –
but their labs have been raided and devices destroyed. To learn more about
it, go to the New Energy Technology section of the site.
But New Energy is just one example. Suppression reaches into every Sector
where the Agenda is looking to centralize control. A short list of just a few
examples of what is being suppressed or marginalized:
  • Organic growing
  • Natural and Raw Foods
  • Natural Supplements
  • Natural Cures
  • Medical Marijuana
    dispensaries
  • Independent radio
    stations
  • Alternative Currencies
  • Independent banks
  • Generic and imported
    medicines
  • Independent
    Investigations into 9/11
  • Alternate political
    candidates
  • Voting Machines with
    paper trails
  • Voting by people of
    color and soldiers
  • Home schooling
  • Freedom from
    vaccination
  • Privacy in the moving of personal money
  • Internet Privacy and equality of speed and access
  • Scientific information that questions the man-made global warming theories
  • Resistance to and  Labeling of GMO foods
  • Transparency of the Federal Reserve and Black Budget appropriations

Quotes

Here’s what the elite themselves have to say about their
agenda, often referring to it as a “New World Order”:

“It is a big idea, a New World Order, where diverse nations are drawn
together in common cause…When we are successful, and we will be, we have a
real chance at this New World Order, an order in which a credible United
Nations can use its peace-keeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of
the UN’s founders.”

– George H. W. Bush, UN speech Sept. 11, 1991

“A new world is emerging. It is a New World Order with significantly
different and radically new challenges for the future.”

– Gordon Brown, Prime Minister of England

“The President of the United States and Europe have proposed various
different summits to look at new regulations and a New World Governance.”

– Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France

“It’s the kind of occasion where the crisis calls into question all
certainties and minds are more open to change. The goal should be to devise
a system of global financial governance.”

– Jose Manuel Barroso, President of the European
Commission and Former Prime Minister of Portugal

“I think his [Obama’s] task will be to develop an overall strategy for
America in this period when really a New World Order can be created. It’s a
great opportunity. It isn’t just a crisis.”

– Henry Kissinger, Secretary of State under President
Nixon and Ford

“By the end of this decade we will live under the first One World
Government that has ever existed in the society of nations, a government
with absolute authority to decide the basic issues of human survival. One
world government is inevitable.”

– Pope John Paul II, 2000

Conclusions

After years of researching
this information I am convinced there is an elite group of people working
very hard to control the rest of us. It is becoming increasingly clear – with
evidence beyond reasonable doubt, that they have had the means, the motive
and the opportunity to establish an agenda for total global rule. I believe
they are attempting to create a one-world totalitarian authority that would
destroy freedom and life as we know it. The agenda is not dependent on any
one person or group. Its worldview must be exposed and its plan transcended.
Their main tool for control is money. To challenge their power, and regain
control of our lives, we can start by reforming the money system.
As we get sufficiently informed about the facts and the functioning of the
Global Domination Agenda, we can find ourselves suddenly able to make sense
of current events, to hear through the lies the corporate media is promoting,
and even to begin to anticipate the next moves planned for the further
centralization of power. People like David Icke, Alex Jones, Gerald Celente,
and Peter Schiff have been able to accurately predict events like 9/11, the
invasion of the Middle East, the Patriot Act and the global financial
collapse. Now knowledgeable sources are predicting attempts to create the
total collapse of the dollar, another major false flag catastrophe, martial
law, the takeover of the Internet, a one-world electronic currency based on
carbon credits, and a one-world government, tax and army. We too can
understand the agenda, take precautions, blow whistles and create viable
alternatives.
People all around the world are working on ingenious solutions to solve our
current predicament. Check them out in the Success
Stories
section of the site. If you see something that interests you,
consider taking action yourself. As we learn to look through the lens of
understanding the Global Domination Agenda, we can see how events are being
shaped to serve the elite agenda, and we can stop them. The “Occupy” Movement
that started on Wall St and has spread worldwide is a powerful example of
people from all walks of life genuinely looking for just, non-authoritarian,
non-partisan, principle and rights-based solutions. Now is the time to
liberate our true human potential and create a world that can work for
everyone and for future generations to come.
