Death of the American Dream

S. Paul Forrest

Activist Post

It is astounding to me the level of xenophobic propelled action taking place in reaction to the development of an Islamic Community Center near Ground Zero.  I have seen numerous postings on Facebook and Self-declared Righteous Politicians touting the immorality of it by using images of the 9-11 attacks as bait for the hate hungry.  When will we start acting like America again?

I remember growing up in a small community where the Pledge of Allegiance was said each morning without fail, and we were vehemently taught that America was the land of opportunity where even the poorest of men (or women) could become whatever they wanted.  As I grew up, I had visions in my head of the Statue of Liberty and that wonderful quote:

                 “”Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
                   With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
                   Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
                   The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
                   Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
                   I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
To me, this quote was more than just an etching on a plaque in a place I would probably never go; it was a message, a beacon that meant all were welcome in this country no matter how poor or downtrodden. This held great significance for me. You see, I was born and raised in a hippie culture to parents who were immigrants.

Some of you probably are envisioning turban-wrapped Arabs or poor Slovenians, Cubans, Haitians paddling or smuggling themselves into this country type of immigrants.  No, they came over from England on the Queen Mary (Third Class, of course)  and established a life in America with great hope and anticipation that, someday, they would enjoy the famous American Dream.

I have watched the news, read the blogs, and participated in Facebook debates on this subject.  I have weighed the positives and negatives on all sides of the issue and still I cannot find rational thought.

Maybe I am an eternal pessimist, but I cannot seem to find where America is in these discussions.

On the Right we have the "Keep America Whole” statements where the argument turns to the Bush Era political paranoia based on the ideal that America is an Elitist State that should benefit only those who are worthy.  Then there is the Liberal side where the poor should get everything and the rich should carry the burden (both views are seriously misguided).  I hear the Christian argument where the Muslim invasion is a sin and we should arm ourselves to the hilt to prevent Jihad.  I also hear the Muslim side which is rarely reported by mainstream media.

Many may not be aware, and FoxNews does not help in this matter by spreading falsities about it, but the average Muslim-American does not support what Al-Qaeda is doing.  They did not support the 9-11 attacks and they do not think America is evil.  If they did, why would they fly flags at their businesses and homes?  Why would they come to this country?  If you answered because they are trying to infiltrate the US, you have much to learn and even more to remember about this Country.

These people are here for the same reasons my parents came here, to live and prosper under the cloak of the greatest country on Earth.  They are entitled to the same benefits we all are.  It is written in the Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

This is a moving and inspirational piece of writing.  It is the backbone of this, our country, the United States of America.  Who are we today to take that away?  Who are we to stand in protest of a religious institution sacred to an immigrant people at the base of the Statue of Liberty (and not a stone's throw from Philadelphia where the Declaration was written), stripping those people of that American Dream?

Which of you will stand in front of a classroom filled with starry-eyed children who believe that this country stands for all, and opportunity is there for them, one and all, no matter their race, creed or religion, and tell them the American Dream is dead?  Which of you will stand and be so anti-human as to tell these children and those abroad suffering untold tragedy that this country is no longer the beacon of the world?  Which of you wants to do that?

When you stand against a people wanting to take advantage of all this country stands for, you do just that.  You are killing everything that this, My United States of America, is about.  We did not come this far through the struggles of war, slavery, womens' rights, and equal rights just to have a group of xenophobic zealots take it all away.  I believe in this country and it truly breaks my heart to see so many joining the slow march toward the Death of the American Dream.

America's Misconception of Freedom

S. Paul Forrest
Activist Post

America was founded in an attempt to escape the oppression of not only religious expression, but also the misrepresentation from a monarchist system that cared only for the proliferation and interests of the elite class.  After 250 years, we have found ourselves in the same position as those who left Europe for these shores so long ago: oppressed by a system that only wants to serve itself before the citizens that support it.  They say history repeats itself, and nowhere is this more evident than in the case of modern America’s politicians, putting their corporate puppet masters and damaging agenda of faux patriotism before the needs of the people.

To understand how we have been led to the erroneous conclusion that America is somehow a free nation, one must come to an understanding of what type of political system exists in this country and how it adds to or detracts from our social system as set up by our forefathers.  We also must recognize the erosion of our system under the watch of the overzealous quasi-patriotism which has served to initiate the current Police State in place and growing in America.


First and foremost, it is important to understand that we do not live in a democracy as most people have been led to believe; America is a republic where we are granted the opportunity to elect representatives to make decisions for us.  Our forefathers were learned enough to understand that a pure democracy was not possible in a complex society, especially the one they were setting up.  In a democracy, although touted as the ideal system for freedom of the people to decide all matters of State, the minority only has those privileges granted by the dictatorship of the majority.  In a democracy the sovereignty is in the group, whereas in a republic the sovereignty is in each individual person.

The problem with a republic, though, is that the inherent rights of the people are surrendered upon the casting of a vote for representation.  After this action has taken place, our fate lies in the hands of politicians who, with the innate human deficiency of sin, represent our interests.  This type of system was set up because the idea of a complex society deciding all aspects of government and the minority becoming unrepresented was unrealistic.  The thought that we the people could effectively be served by those who are concerned not with the continuation of our liberty but with the development and proliferation of self-service has been greatly discredited by the reality of this, our modern model of representation.

To understand our freedom, or lack thereof, it is important to recognize what type of political system exists within our social structure into which we put our faith each election period.  This country is currently run and controlled by a two-party system that determines for us, the “free” voters, who we can vote for.  The choice of candidates is determined by the parties themselves as the proper representatives of their interests, rather than the interests of the American people.  Even the self-labeled “freedom party” or Tea Party, is just an extension of this old, two-sided coin.  We can either vote for the lesser of the evils, or suffer the consequence of others doing the voting for us.

Regarding words by James Madison on the American political system, Jack N. Rakove of Stanford University writes:

Madison assumed politicians . . . would be able to command the allegiance of large numbers of voters. Once in office, they would act with a broadmindedness that would elevate the very quality of public life.  They would think not in terms of the immediate interests of their constituents, but of the larger public good which was synonymous with the concept of the public itself.  The virtue which could no longer be expected to reside in the populace might still be found, he hoped, in its rulers.

It is clear from today’s system that this assumption was wrong.  Our modern politicians are largely self-serving, and the quality of our lives is directly relative to our freedom to vote for true representation.

Madison obviously had great confidence that an elected official through the ages would think similarly as he and his colleagues with regard to intellectual consideration of the established hierarchy.  The effects of this representation was, in theory, to contribute to the ongoing freedom of the people.  With the issuing of the Constitution, he and others like him believed they had established a system that would endure the natural tendencies of corruption that had ended with the oppression of the masses in so many other social systems.  The reality, as proven with our modern institutional malfeasance, is these representatives eventually become corrupt in the position of power they hold over the people.

The limited choice of representation has fostered a governmental system of insular thinking and the gradual erosion of our own national freedoms.  The two-party system, with its inbred philosophy of elitism, has been taking our freedom from us bit by bit with innumerable laws and initiatives to foster control.  The decay of our Constitutional freedom has been exacerbated by such legislative initiatives as the Patriot Act and its associated nullification of habeas corpus, while labeling some citizens concerned with the direction of our government as dissidents.

Some would argue this action is necessary to protect the security of the nation, but it only stands as proof of the intrinsic dilemma of our current democratic representation.  As stated by the Constitutional Society:

 . . . governments must be vested with a certain degree of power.  It is this power that can be most dangerous to the liberties of the people.  To find out who committed a certain crime, police must be able to question suspects and witnesses, and be able to search for evidence.  In a society where the government is omnipotent, the powers of the police to detain, question, and search are unlimited.  In fact, the power to determine guilt would be unlimited. 

In the modern era of terrorist influence and the over reaction of associated governmental propaganda, a police state, initiated by our increasingly corrupt system, has expanded control and the violation of our rights to a writ of habeas corpus rather than allowing it to remain.  It makes certain that any dissonance or suspicion of anti-patriotism is answered by restraint pending conviction.  Guilt before proof of innocence has become the mantra of modern justice in the evolving decay of the American political system.

Ease of movement and civil rights are also largely questionable in this system.  One only need look at the new TSA screening process, public face recognition programming and intelligence agency policy of Net watching to know these are not applicable freedoms in modern America.  If we want to travel, we are forced to endure a violation of our rights and forced to endure molestation by security screeners.  In an effort to protect our “democracy”, under the new American Police State, we are robbed of our innate, individual rights.  These new, national security measures have only served to imprison us all within the realm of paranoia driven, political propaganda.

The U.S. Government, in the eternal quest of total control of the people, has led the charge in the deception and misconception of our freedom.  In the ever increasing amplification of Al Qaeda’s desire to terrorize our country, America has expanded the control of the people through the Patriot Act, legislation that was pushed though Congress under false pretenses and nationalist plasticity.  This Act was an orchestrated move in response to a false, immoral war begun and promulgated by the United States and has added a fascist element to our Republic.

It is vehemently argued from the creators of this control that steps must be taken to protect our borders and our citizens, but the American people are not the ones who started this war.  It was begun by greedy politicians in an effort to obtain oil rights and control over an area that largely supplies the world’s fuel needs.  The death of whatever freedom we may have previously enjoyed occurred with the initiation of this legislation and the paranoia associated with its inception.

The reality of it all is that our choices are limited, our politics contrived, and our country controlled by corporations fed by an American obsession with excess; America's political puppets no longer represent citizens, but rather their own interests.  We are all slaves to a predetermined mentality of competition for monetary acquisition and zealot-controlled governmental fascism that provides us with 4,000 new laws per year.  Our choice is to conform to these laws, or else be controlled by the bars of a real prison.  We are coerced daily to live silently within a system that is corrupt, or we can pay the price for not following the rules of its deception.

This country is not the model of democratic individualism most of us were taught it was.  From our schools to our media sources, the decay of our American rights has been continuously fed in the name of faux patriotism.  Until we all wake up and see these truths of deception, the constant move to add to the growing state of total control will destroy not only the fabric of this nation but the last freedoms that we do possess.

There once was a dream that was America.  With the ever increasing intrusion of Big Government and its media propaganda, we are slowly falling into the realm of fascist machination, the end result of which will spell the death of the dream of those settlers who first came here to establish a free society.

The time has come for Americans to realize how little control they have in daily choices and to awaken to the fact that we are now suffering from a very damaging misconception of our freedom.  Until we collectively stand together and let our representatives know we will no longer allow their destruction of this wonderful country, the erosion will continue.

John Locke had once declared that under natural law, all people have the right to life, liberty, and estate; under the social contract, the people could instigate a revolution against the government when it acted against the interests of its citizens and to replace the government with one that served the interests of those citizens.  In the recent years, our governmental representatives have not acted in any interest save their own.  It is time that the system is corrected and even more importantly, it is time for America to come to terms with its misconception of freedom else lose all that this great nation stands for.  The revolution is near and unless the in-place system comes to realize its errant ways, they will find themselves thrown from the Ivory towers they have built upon the backs of America.

Many Americans also falsely believe the Constitution, set up to combat the decay of the system, guarantees certain freedoms such as speech.  The argument is that we, as American citizens, have the right to speak our minds without consequence.  This belief is so erroneous it physically pains me to think about how many believe it to be true.  We can indeed say what we want, but the ramifications of our statements can result in condemnation by a system that believes in the proliferation of lies and propaganda over truth.

The Fuzzy Logic Of Useful Idiots

Giordano Bruno
Neithercorp

It hurts to be wrong. Not just emotionally, but physically, especially when it’s public, like swimming headfirst into a school of very ill-tempered jellyfish…..or maybe piranha. The horror of it is almost cinematic. The more artificially pumped your ego, or the more brainwashed with academic pretension, the more terrifying that moment of realization is, that moment when all your assumptions are dashed aside like a three-year-old’s alphabet blocks. To a certain point, it is understandable why so many people live in such violent denial, however, this does not detract from the perils of that denial…


Americans are masters of avoiding responsibility for bad assumptions. I have seen middle-aged women cry, actual tears, because they have been proven incorrect on something as simple as the price of dishwashing detergent at the grocery store. I have seen full-grown men throw wild-eyed tantrums and even threaten people with death because they couldn’t handle being wrong about the correct score of a football game. I once saw a man froth at the mouth and shout vicious obscenities for 20 minutes straight because he refused to believe there where more than three ‘Jaws’ movies (I wish ‘Jaws: The Revenge’ didn’t exist either, but I’m not going to have a spasm over it). I have seen little old ladies physically attack people because they were embarrassed to be wrong, not realizing that their response was far more humiliating and self deprecating than just being “mistaken”. I have, indeed, seen the glory of overgrown babies in action.

America is not the only culture prone to this, Americans just happen to be the worst losers. We lash out when we are wrong, while most Europeans tend to intellectualize ideas that challenge their false perceptions, as if they are “above” even considering them. They are masters of rationalizing the facts away, while we are masters of brutalizing those people who are messengers of the facts.

Some of these unfortunate members of our society are merely lemmings; sheep following each other mindlessly without questioning the purpose or the destination. They are spectators in world events, and nothing more. While others are far more dangerous because they take an active role in the shaping of events, not knowing that their idiocy is contributing to the suppression of the truth and even the downfall of our nation. They help elitists to dismantle dissent and in the process damage their own future. It sounds insane, and in a way, they ARE psychologically ill, but in a manner that has been deemed tolerable (or even practical) by society. We call these people “Useful Idiots”.

How does one know when he has encountered such a person? How does he cope? Let’s examine some of the telltale signs of the useful idiot…


Just Smart Enough To Be Stupid…
Learning is a full time job, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, until the very moment your ticker tocks and you find yourself sporting a cloud and a harp. Some people, though, seem to think that retirement on learning starts at around age twenty. Useful idiots are commonly men and women who are intelligent enough to retain information but not driven enough to research its validity, or to follow a thought through to its logical conclusion. They very often work in professional fields such as law, business, medicine, politics, engineering, media, entertainment, etc. (though there are many others in these fields who are not caught up in their own delusional worlds). These are people in a position to influence others just by the virtue of their work, regardless of how clueless they actually are.

Lacking knowledge is not such a terrible crime as long as you are willing to admit that you do. There is always someone out there who is going to know more than you about some things, if not many things. That’s life. Useful idiots, on the other hand, are rarely willing to admit that they are lacking in any department. They usually have just enough knowledge to make themselves “convincing” to those who don’t recognize them for what they are. In this way they are a sort of mini-Chernobyl, waiting to spew radioactive waste (disinformation) at any given moment, mutating public opinion.

Their ability to think is limited to memorization. The problem with this way of viewing the world is that it excludes critical thought, intuition, empathy, and wisdom. It traps us in a box composed of all the things we have been TAUGHT, but keeps us from the things we could discover on our own. Useful idiots are walking talking toasters; all they take is bread, and all they make is toast (and the occasional pop tart). Frankly, I’m bored with toast.

One need only take into account the vast number of so called financial analysts in the mainstream media who denied there was any threat of economic collapse back in 2006/2007. How many of them stopped to consider the consequences of ignoring the facts because of their egomania and inability to think beyond their conditioning? How many lives and nest-eggs have been destroyed, or are waiting to be destroyed, because of them? How many of these useful idiots ever apologized for their blundering? I can’t think of any…

Martial Law, Economic Meltdown, and Executive Orders

Kevin Hayden, Contributing Writer

Activist Post

We have all watched in predicted horror as the financial infrastructure of America has been disassembled in a predetermined fashion by the likes of Goldman Sachs, the Federal Reserve and other Globalists.  There are a variety of reasons why this is happening, none of which we have the power to change or alter in time to save us.  Therefore, I will focus on what is to come and how we might handle it in order to survive it.

With the Federal Reserve actually suggesting that inflation might be the cure to the weak economy, massive unemployment numbers and a crashing dollar, one has to stop and ponder.  The chairman of the Fed, Ben Bernanke, was a child prodigy, scored a near perfect SAT score, focused his studies around the Great Depression and is a statistical genius.  So why is he so willing to abuse the Dollar and essentially sign the death warrant for America?

For several years, many prominent people have been predicting this exact scenario.  Gerald Celente, Ron Paul, Peter Schiff and others including the Web Bots Project, have detailed how this orchestrated financial implosion will occur.  Many of these “predictions” or trends analysis are from late 2009 or early 2010.  Most, if not all, are eerily starting to come true.

Bob Chapman

First 6 months of 2010, Americans will continue to live in the 'unreality' . . . the period between July and October is when the financial fireworks will begin. The Fed will act unilaterally for its own survival irrespective of any political implications.  In the last quarter of the year we could even see Martial law, which is more likely for the first 6 months of 2011.  Wall Street believes there is a 100% chance of crash in bond market, especially municipals sometime during 2010. The dollar will be devalued by the end of 2010.

Neithercorp

Have projected that the third and final stage of the economic collapse will begin sometime in 2010. Barring some kind of financial miracle, or the complete dissolution of the Federal Reserve, a snowballing implosion should become visible by the end of this year. The behavior of the Fed, along with that of the IMF seems to suggest that they are preparing for a focused collapse, peaking within weeks or months instead of years, and the most certain fall of the dollar.

Webbots

July and onward things get very strange. Revolution. Dollar dead by November 2010.  The sad fact is that many of the people currently in power are globalists or a minion thereof.  Timothy Geithner, Paul Volcker, Henry Paulson . . . these people hold some of the most powerful positions in the world but they’re not Presidents or Heads of State.  They’re not royalty.  No.

They are, however, the ones who control the money and financial policy of the United States of America.

Give me control over a nations currency, and I care not who makes its laws. -- Baron M.A. Rothschild

ORCHESTRATED MELTDOWN & THE TEA PARTY

By controlling the flow and direction of money, they are free to do as they please.  A simple “divide and conquer” masquerade is offered for the peasants to consume and become distracted by.  Every week, a new diversion is offered – President Obama’s birth certificate, Republican vs. Democrat, Dancing with the Stars, Christine O’Donnell is a witch, or Lindsey Lohan enters drug rehab yet again.

The current “Tea Party” is a prime example of this divide & conquer attempt.  It should be noted, the Republican tea parties and the original Campaign for Liberty are nothing alike.  In 2007 and 2008, Ron Paul followers began a massive grassroots movement which spread like a wildfire across angry voters on both sides of the aisle.  Liberals and Conservatives stood next to each other while greeting Moderates and Extremists.  Many apathetic, disillusioned voters were so moved by the passionate speeches of Ron Paul that they began to become heavily involved in politics.  An attempt to Audit the Fed was a centerpiece, knowing that the Federal Reserve is one of the “men behind the green curtain.”  An unprecedented partnership was formed across the spectrum and the movement grew loud, demanding accountability, transparency, more freedom and an end to the current wars.

Fearing the worst, agents of the globalist banking cartel went into action.  As Rahm Emanuel, the White House spokesman, said: “You can’t let a good crisis go to waste….a crisis allows you to do things you wouldn’t otherwise be able to do.”  (Such as the Patriot Act and occupying multiple countries?)  They moved their diversion tactics into high gear, with commentators on MSNBC and FOX appealing for patriotic “tea parties” across the country to unite against the banking bailout and stimulus package offered by Obama.  They did this knowing that no amount of ranting and raving by citizens would change anything and they could be left in peace to continue the takeover while the peasants waved signs and yelled at Congress.

In order for this takeover to succeed, they had to first destabilize any real resistance.  They immediately began shifting Ron Paul into the fringe category, denied him access to the primary debates and waged classic Gestapo-like warfare on the citizens who were starting to wake up.  The Southern Poverty Law Center, who now partially operates under the auspice of the Department of Homeland Security, began to demonize so-called Patriots and Constitutionalists. They needed to make sure that the wave of Ron Paul supporters – the ones who were awake and aware of who the enemy truly was – could be silenced or ignored.  They began to label Constitutionalists and Libertarians as “extremists” and categorized them as violent militia members.  This attempt went so far as to have the Missouri Intelligence Center issue a report clearly stating that vehicles displaying a Ron Paul sticker or supporters of Bob Barr, Barry Goldwater and others should be approached with caution during traffic stops, propping up the fear mongering in the law enforcement world where it could be put to good use by obediant police officers.

They knew these patriots, along with many 2nd amendment activists, disgruntled military veterans and Libertarians would be the first to resist.  And so they had to run a few headlines on the mainstream media in order to encourage moderates not to listen to them or join their ranks.

Groups such as "FreedomWorks" and the Tea Party Express began popping up all over the radar.  These were self-described groups of Tea Partiers but failed to have any ties to Ron Paul or the initial liberty movement.  In fact, many of those attending the rallies were George Bush loyalists, classic war-mongering Neocons and Corporate Republicans railing against the man.  It quickly became apparent that these groups were funded and started by shady, wealthy individuals with a political agenda who sought to capitalize on the growing movement with no respect to its origins.

The groups began propping up the likes of Sarah Palin as their mascot and focused on minor, trivial issues at rallies across the country.  They offered stereotypical sound bytes for mass media consumption and stagnate the political process with rhetoric about the welfare state, immigration and Obama.  The real enemies are now left to their own devices on Wall Street as the peasants fight among themselves over religion, gay marriage, and what Arab country should be invaded next.

This has been my own experience at a recent gun show and several tea party rallies.  Everyone I talked to said the same things, “That socialist Obama is wrecking the economy and the illegal immigrants are going to bankrupt us!  We need to throw the Democrats out of Congress and take over so we can make real change!”  This was literally the same thing that over a dozen “patriots” said to me, completely oblivious to the fact that while illegal immigration is a major problem and does cost a lot of money, it is a penny in the bucket compared to what Wall Street and the multi-national corporations are doing to us.  They fail to realize that the banking cartel owns both the Republicans and Democrats.  The globalists own the media, the newspapers, the “fair and balanced” talk shows and more.  Glenn Beck said it best,

“I could give a flying crap about the political process.” Making money, on the other hand, is to be taken very seriously, and controversy is its own coinage. “We’re an entertainment company,” Beck says.

Carroll Quigley, the unofficial historian for the Globalists and Elites, said in his book Tragedy and Hope: “The two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.”  It should be no surprise to anyone, of course, that during his tenure as a professor at Georgetown in the 1960s, Quigley became the mentor to a young Bill Clinton.

So as more and more voters flock to these false tea party affiliate groups, their “voter angst” is quickly satiated by the waving of a Gadsden flag and yelling some coin-phrase about Socialism, all the while no real harm has come to the establishment and Wall Street.  The Globalists are free to sit back and laugh at the serfs as they complete their exit strategy, pilfering every last cent they can muster.

To use an analogy: we’re all on the Titanic with the White House at the helm of the ship.  The Globalists and banking cartel know there is an iceberg ahead – in fact, they placed it directly in our path in order to speed up the sinking process while they continued to sell worthless tickets to the life rafts.  Obama, like so many Presidents before him, was promised a VIP seat in the executive’s life boat.  But being used by the elites doesn’t seem to bother him in the slightest.  No, in fact, he happily sold his soul in order to be the first black President and make history.  I suppose we all have our price.  (There is also a long, sordid past involving his mother working for multiple CIA front organizations [micro-financing, accounting, loans, etc] and meeting his biological father in a Russian speaking class at the University of Hawaii . . . but that’s for another time and another article.)

MARTIAL LAW & EXECUTIVE ORDERS

As the bond markets quickly sour and the market tries desperately to maintain its hold, many foreign countries are already making their exit plans from the dollar; when this happens en masse, you will hear the American Economy and our way of life take its final breath.  It will very quickly lead us to a complete and utter shattering of the US Dollar.

Inflation, offered by the Federal Reserve as a solution, will rage out of control.  The bond market, already suffering severely, will be the final death blow from the multiple bubbles of the past 10 years – including the housing market, the derivatives schemes, the out-of-control spending on illegal wars, and the never-ending military-industrial-intelligence community.

As the engineered crisis swings into full global financial meltdown, we enter the classic Hegelian Dialectic method of Problem-Reaction-Solution.

Allow me to explain: The Globalists and elites have an agenda.  They already know how they want this to end, as with any engineered crisis.  Recall what Rahm Emaneul said about exploiting a crisis and it will start to unfold.  The Powers That Be create or exploit a problem, blaming it on others.  The citizens react, asking government to fix their problems, even if it means giving up certain rights or liberties.  The government offers the solution that was planned long before the crisis.

And that solution is total control and domination.  An increased military-police-state.  A cashless, unarmed society full of GMO food and mercury-laden vaccines.  Half a billion citizens dependant on the government for the next day’s meal.  We are entering 1984.  But first, the birthing pains of the new era –the New World Order. 

In order to achieve this, a rock-bottom effect has to unravel, and the crashing of the US Dollar is the perfect key.  When the bond market goes, it will take municipal bonds and pensions with it.  Cities will no longer be able to employ enough workers to maintain itself.  Inflation will make food, gasoline, and other tangibles too expensive for the common peasant and riots will start.  In order to maintain their control and show force, the government will begin deploying the military into the hardest-hit cities in a support role, handling more and more of the infrastructure and traditional police duties.  The ability to do this has been laid out in carefully crafted Presidential Executive Orders.  Troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are now being trained in domestic law enforcement and how to handle civil unrest, including active combat brigades on “homeland patrol.”  Imagine this scenario unfolding while the White House has the following powers:

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 – allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 – allows the government to seize and control the communication media.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 – allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 – allows the government to seize all means of transportation, including personal cars, trucks or vehicles of any kind and total control over all highways, seaports, and waterways.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10999 – allows the government to take over all food resources and farms.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 – allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001 – allows the government to take over all health, education and welfare functions.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 – designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003 – allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004 – allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be abandoned, and establish new locations for populations.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11005 – allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways and public storage facilities.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11051 – specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11921 allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution, of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money in U.S. financial institution in any undefined national emergency. It also provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the President, Congress cannot review the action for six months. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has broad powers in every aspect of the nation. General Frank Salzedo, chief of FEMA’s Civil Security Division stated in a 1983 conference that he saw FEMA’s role as a “new frontier in the protection of individual and governmental leaders from assassination, and of civil and military installations from sabotage and/or attack, as well as prevention of dissident groups from gaining access to U.S. opinion, or a global audience in times of crisis.” FEMA’s powers were consolidated by President Carter to incorporate the…

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11310 – grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11049 – assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued over a fifteen year period.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 12148 – created the Federal Emergency Management Agency to interface with the Department of Defense for civil defense planning and funding. An “emergency czar” was appointed. FEMA has only spent about 6 percent of its budget on national emergencies. The bulk of their funding has been used for the construction of secret underground facilities to assure continuity of government in case of a major emergency, foreign or domestic.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 12656 – appointed the National Security Council as the principal body that should consider emergency powers. This allows the government to increase domestic intelligence and surveillance of U.S. citizens and would restrict the freedom of movement within the United States and grant the government the right to isolate large groups of civilians. The National Guard could be federalized to seal all borders and take control of U.S. air space and all ports of entry.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 12919 – Collects EOs 10995, 10997, 10998, 10999, 11000, 11001, 11002, 11003, 11004, 11005 and 11051 together into one new Executive Order.

National Security Act of 1947 – allows for the strategic relocation of industries, services, government and other essential economic activities, and to rationalize the requirements for manpower, resources and production facilities.

1950 Defense Production Act – gives the President sweeping powers over all aspects of the economy.

Act of August 29, 1916 – authorizes the Secretary of the Army, in time of war, to take possession of any transportation system for transporting troops, material, or any other purpose related to the emergency.

International Emergency Economic Powers Act – enables the President to seize the property of a foreign country or national. These powers were transferred to FEMA in a sweeping consolidation in 1979.

We are already living on borrowed time as a Nation.  I suggest you take the advice of those people who predicted this exact scenario a decade ago and begin investing in tangibles and hard commodities.  Land, firearms, precious metals, tools, and food.

Think about the one thing that you must have and will always spend money on – food.  If you could buy 6 months of food now, imagine the return on your investment when inflation hits the grocery stores by the end of this year.  We’re already seeing it everywhere around us.  Take note and act accordingly!

We are entering a very dangerous time frame in not only our lives, but history.

Debunking the Department of Justice's Hit Piece, Part 1

Richard Anatone, Contributing Writer

Activist Post

You have all been lied to.

You were taught that the United States Constitution written by our Founding Fathers was the most important document regarding individual freedom ever written in the history of mankind, followed only by the Magna Carta. You believe that the Constitution set up a central government with limited powers, and that the powers not listed in the Constitution was left for the states and the people who make up the states.  You believe that the powers of the central government were limited and that the powers of the individual states were indefinite, to quote James Madison.  You believe that the first Ten Amendments, known as the Bill of Rights, gave to each citizen rights given to them by their Creator that no government led by man can take away.  

That is why The Powers That Be hate you.  

They hate our Constitution.  They hate our Bill of Rights.  They hate our freedoms, and they are doing everything they can to take these away from us.

Is this an overstatement?  Is this being extreme?  Hardly.  For over two years, the Federal Government has been attacking anyone that believes in a strict interpretation of the United States Constitution, labeling them as “extremists” and “potential domestic terrorists.”  We saw this with two documents recently released within the past few years, namely the "Department of Homeland Security's report on Rightwing Extremism" and the infamous Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) report on home-grown terrorism that linked Libertarians, returning army vets, gun owners, Constitutionalists, Ron Paul, and Chuck Baldwin to white-supremacists and potential criminals. And now, yet another document has been released by the Department of Justice titled "Investigating Terrorism and Criminal Extremism: Terms and Concepts" that proves without a shadow of a doubt that the ruling class made up of people from both political parties (i.e., The Powers That Be), have nothing but contempt for our U.S. Constitution, our Bill of Rights, and our American sovereignty.

The document is a “Glossary” and describes itself as a “tool for criminal justice professionals to enhance their understanding of words relating to extremist terminology, phrases, activities, symbols, organizations, and selected names that they may encounter while conducting criminal investigations or prosecutions of members of extremist organizations.” And, like most things that come from the Federal Government, it is filled with lies.  But that won't stop them from disseminating this glossary of ill-defined terms to local law enforcement all over the country. 

But how ill-defined are these terms?  Are they all ill-defined?  No.  The problem is with the terms that are typically associated with those involved in the American Patriot movement (i.e., the movement of citizens concerned with the integration of America into a global governing and economic system, or as George H.W. Bush and his associates and followers would call, the "New World Order”) and the fact that they are in a glossary that links those that use these terms with potential criminals, extremists, and potential and terrorists.  The terms are typically defined as those used by “conspiracy theorists” -- terms like “Genetically Modified Organisms," “Precious Metal Dealers," “Council on Foreign Relations,” “Constitutionalist," "Bilderberg," etc.  

Conspiracy theories? Hardly. Not when you actually read the mainstream articles about scientistsaltering the DNA of crops with pesticides and viruses.  Not when you realize that the price of goldhas increased almost $1000 in the last decade alone; not when you read the articles aboutsterilizing the water supply: not when you read the quotes and read the documents written by the prominent political leaders that belong to and speak at the Council on Foreign Relations.  Every one of the definitions of terms in the glossary regarding the Patriot Movement is misleading, or an out-right lie, and that is what we should expose.  When we do that, it will be clear as day as to why the government hates you, and why they are doing everything they can to silence you, especially by censoring the Internet.  For the sake of organization, the terms will be listed categorically, not alphabetically.

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

This infamous quote in his autobiography, Memoirs, co-founder of the Trilateral Commission, member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and a frequent member and attendee of the Bilderberg meetings is at least proof that some people are working towards a World Governing System where the sovereignty of the individual countries is sacrificed, and where policy for each nation is decided by an  international body rather than a local or national body.  The mere fact that the European Union exists is proof enough.  

The glossary defines Bilderberg Group, Council on Foreign Relations, New World Order, One World Government, and Trilateral Commission very similarly, by asserting that right-wing extremists and conspiracy theorists believe that these organizations are attempting to control the world and usher in a one-world government. But all one has to do is read the above quote from David Rockefeller who founded the Trilateral Commission to see that this is in fact a reality. He stated it himself, and admitted to conspiring to do so. But, that isn't enough for the Department of Justice, so let's look even further into these organizations.

First, let's look at the Council on Foreign Relations.  A list of members should be enough to make anyone raise their suspicions, because their membership reveals that they all share a common interest.  Their entire roster can be found on their own website, titled “Council On Foreign Relations 2009 Annual Report."  Generally speaking, the organization is a Who's Who of the political, banking, and corporate elite.  They meet behind closed doors and discuss foreign and economic policy, hold public “talks” and publish a public journal called Foreign Affairs.  Current members include politicians Bill Clinton, Dick Cheney (who even made an effort to not mention that he was a member during his election), Sen. Joseph Lieberman (CT), Sen. John McCain (AZ), Sen. John D. Rockefeller (WV), Senator Jack Reed (RI), Sen. Olympia Snow (ME), former Sen. Fred Thompson (TN), Sen. John Warner (VA), former Speaker Newt Gingrich (GA), former Secretaries of State Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice, Henry Kissinger, and Obama's Science Czar John P. Holdren, just to name a few. 

Along with the political elite are members of the banking elite such as former Chairmen of the Federal Reserve, Allan Greenspan and Paul Volcker, Treasury Secretary/Tax Cheat Timothy Geithner, and former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson . . . again, just to name a few. 

Among the corporate and financial elite are former and current CEOs, Presidents, and Vice Presidents of corporations like Fannie Mae, CitiGroup, Goldman Sachs, American Express, Prudential Financial, SONY, Disney, First National Bank, Shell Oil, Exxon and Xerox.  Again, just to name a few. 

In case you are wondering why this group filled with such important people does not get much media attention, and why you possibly haven't heard of it, there's a very good reason.  The top CEOs of the Mainstream Media outlets are also members, including over a dozen writers/editors of the New York Times, over a dozen columnists, editors, and writers for the Washington Post (including the Vice President of Washington Post Company, and the editor for the Editorial Page!), columnists, former presidents and former vice presidents of CNN, correspondents and journalists for CBS, including Katie Couric, several writers/editors for FOX News including CEO Rupert Murdoch himself.  You get the idea. 

The reason that an organization filled with so many important people discussing foreign, domestic, economic, and monetary policies gets no media attention is because those running the media are members and share the same agenda as the rest -- and they know full well that the agenda is vastly unpopular with the public.  

Giving a speech in front of the Bilderberg Meeting, David Rockefeller said:

We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years...It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years.  But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.

We must pause for a moment to analyze this quote.  Other than admitting to the cooperation from the Mainstream Media publications regarding the “hush-hush” nature of their meetings discussing policy, and the fact that they acknowledge that the majority of the population oppose their ideas for a Global Governing System, he says something even more daring.  He says that the supranational (international) sovereignty of the Intellectual Elite and World Bankers is preferable to our current system (i.e. a system made of sovereign nations with borders).  In other words, a group of self-proclaimed Ruling Elitists, which essentially make up all of the organizations that the Department of Justice's glossary defines as “targets for right-wing extremists and conspiracy theorists,” is better than what we have now -- even though the very banking elite are responsible for the Global Financial Crisis we are currently facing!  Even though the so-called intellectual elite have been calling for sterilization of the water, genetically altering food and salmon and reducing the world population through vaccines.  Is this the world in which you want to live? 

You will notice that within the Rockefeller quotes, we see the term “World Government," similar to what George Bush and his associates would call a “New World Order.”  So who are the conspirators? According to Rockefeller, the “internationalists” are the international elite. He said it himself when he said that some accuse him and his family of “conspiring with others” (i.e. the world elite) to build their integrated world system. The very same global elite that have bankrupted America and the European Nations through fraudulent derivatives trading . . . the very same elite that lied about WMDs in Iraq . . . the very same banking elite that funded both sides of virtually every war since World War I . . . the very same elite that lied about Global Warming and got caught doing so . . .  the very same elite that printed trillions of dollars and gave them to foreign central banks . . . these are the elite that should be running the world, according to Rockefeller. And these people are members of the same club known as the Council on Foreign Relations.

Does this mean that every person involved in the CFR (an organization made up of several thousand people) is evil and part of this plan to usher in a global governing system? No. But that does not alter the fact that many of these people are part of this plan, and that these organizations have incredible influence on policy making in our society. What's worse is that they are unaccountable. We elect people to Congress to decide policy, not these people that meet in secret like the Bilderbergs. If they were working in our best interest, they would not be working under secrecy. 

And just like the CFR is a Who's Who of American elite, the Bilderberg Meetings are made up of the Who's Who of the global elite, and has an even smaller membership (a quality that shows just how elite the organization truly is).  Investigative journalist Daniel Estulin has even spoken to the European Union Parliament at length about the secretive meetings made up the world elite. 

Without going too deep into this, all one has to do is research the members of the Bilderberg Group and the Trilateral Commission, and you'll see that the very same people and corporations are involved; the same names of Rockefeller, Volcker, Kissinger, Goldman Sachs, and Federal Reserve show up time and again -- and that's just the American elite. 

This is what the Patriot Movement means when they say they want to “Take the Country Back,” or that they want to “Restore the Government,” which interestingly enough is a phrase listed in the glossary in question.  It is clear that the power structures of the government, the media, corporations, and banking are all members of these organizations, and that they are working against the interest of the American people who want to hold on to their national sovereignty (again, quoting David Rockefeller) . . . otherwise, they would be open about this. 

To add insult to injury, this glossary defines “Restoring the Government” as the objective of the Patriot Movement who want to, “Restore the government to its status before it started ignoring the Constitution.  Patriots claim that most actions of the Government are unconstitutional and illegal.” 

Well, according to the Logan Act, which was passed in 1799, it is illegal for any U.S. citizen (including government officials) without authority to correspond with foreign governments or their agents to influence the measures of the foreign government in relation to any disputes or controversies of the United States.  It is also, according to the Constitution, illegal to pass legislation over matters that the Constitution does not authorize the Congress to pass without first amending the Constitution (the 10th Amendment!)  This isn't the “claim” of the Patriot Movement; these are the actual laws on the books! 

The Patriot Movement wants to Restore the Government by taking back the power centers of our government, our corporations, our media, and our financial system . . . in a peaceful way. No violence at all -- we can elect ourselves to the power centers and take back the country, and that is what the Government is afraid of. They are afraid of people becoming educated and running for office themselves to retain our national sovereignty. Why else would they issue this glossary that labels concerned citizens “potential terrorists” and “right-wing extremists?" This has nothing to do with right vs. left, as I have covered before; Right vs. Left is a false paradigm.  This has everything to do with whether America remains independent, or if it is integrated into a global governing system. If you are a normal citizen that believes that the best kind of government is local, because the people have more of a say in policy decision, then the mere fact that these organizations exist is contrary to your belief -- which is why they hate you.

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

This is the oath of office for all House of Representatives members, along with all members of the Senate.  Similarly, the President, as instructed by Article II, Section 1 of the US Constitution, recites the following oath when sworn in:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

This is about the only thing they do that is Constitutional---they recite the oath to defend the very document for which they hold the most contempt.
