The Oligarchy and Globalization: A Wolf Changes Clothes

Angela — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 09:23:07 +0000

From Wikipedia: “Oligarchy (Greek Ὀλιγαρχία, Oligarkhía) is a form of government where political power effectively rests with a small elite segment of society distinguished by royalty, wealth, family, military powers or occult spiritual hegemony. The word oligarchy is from the Greek words for “few” (ὀλίγος olígos) and “rule” (ἀρχή arkhē). Such states are often controlled by politically powerful families whose children are heavily conditioned and mentored to be heirs of the power of the oligarchy. This type of power by its very nature may not be exercised openly; the oligarchs preferring to remain “the power behind the throne“, exerting control through economic means. Oligarchies have been tyrannical throughout history, being completely reliant on public servitude to exist. Although Aristotle pioneered the use of the term as a synonym for rule by the rich, for which the exact term is plutocracy, oligarchy is not always a rule by wealth, as oligarchs can simply be a privileged group. Some city-states from Ancient Greece were oligarchies.”

There has been an enormous upsurge in the mainstream media of mention of a “New World Order”, which specific terminology has heretofore been the primary domain of conspiracy theorists. Just about every major world leader, past and present, and many of the corporate elite have spoken those words by now, including Time Magazine in a recent brazen title article. Their echoes resonate around the world, entraining ears not attuned to the double entendre.

I went to college in the ’80s and studied languages and international relations at a top university. I was not aware of any conspiranoid theories at the time and never questioned the intelligence of globalization. I was all for it.

I still am. There is no doubt that today’s technology gives the planet the opportunity to create a new order of cultural understanding and economic prosperity. However, now that I am aware of the ancient plots and potential misuses of this philosophy, I tread this ground more carefully. This new age also gives rise to global corporations that rape not just their home town, but rain forests and oceans across the planet. Globalization sounds good in theory, but in practice, it has been abused and led to the destruction of our environment as well as the growth of a bloated elite who care nothing for the common man or their local communities. I watch with trepidation for the totalitarian one world government waiting in the wings, for a natural catastrophe, Planet X, or UFO landing, to gather us into its scaly claws. It may even only take this current economic crisis.

Globalization, in its real and truest sense, must come from within. It must be the joining together of a multitude of small, successful and peaceful communities – it must be grassroots, not trickle-down. While a new world order might claim to be the answer to religious wars and economic disparity, it also still saves a place for the Oligarchy. They still make the rules – they make the products – they grow the food and say what fuel source powers our cars and homes. They say what form of ID we must show, they go to war, they make the weapons, they sell them to terrorists and teach them how to use them. We, the “public servitude”, still only just work for Them.

The military is still advancing new, even scarier technologies, the small organic farmer is facing more and more difficulty, and people are still warped by all kinds of toxins in the air, food, water, prescription drugs, and who knows what all else. I’d like to see free energy devices freed from black projects. I’d like to hear the new administration talk about subsidizing organic community gardens, not look the other way when Monsanto takes a small farmer to court because some evil suicide seeds got blown into the neighboring garden patch. I’d like to hear about HAARP’s destructive potential, and see it turned off. I’d like to see communities developing their own currencies, their own methods of feeding themselves, of producing energy and bartering.

We don’t have to lose our global community – we can keep the Internet, keep trading with each other, keep our arts and culture, keep in touch and continue to develop our global friendships. But we need to be locally self-sufficient. The bail-out needs to start at home, in our own backyards, literally. What crafts, products and specialties that are traded internationally, should not be basic necessities. Otherwise, if and when the system breaks down, it will indeed be global revolution and massive starvation. (Of course, some believe this is exactly what the Oligarchy has in mind, as they wait patiently in their underground bunkers for the masses of surface flesh to disintegrate.)

When I hear the new administration talking in these terms, I will drop my spoon and wipe the drool from my gaping jaw. As good as the new guy might sound right now, unless this very real and basic tenet of local sustainability is implemented, nothing will really change. A recent article by Chris Hedges at Truthdig quotes political philosopher Sheldon S. Wolin regarding our current situation, “The basic systems are going to stay in place; they are too powerful to be challenged.” Mr. Hedges’ article is entitled, It’s Not Going to Be OK, if that’s any indication.

Propping up the old paradigm will not work. Refueling the previous modus operandi will just result in another eventual crash. The entire system must be reconsidered.

The new administration is busy getting fitted with its shining armor, and to many, it’s sounding promising. Many appreciate seeing the elite get taken down a notch, myself included. Taking away the CEO’s outrageous benefit packages is news, to be sure. Witnessing the destruction of a large portion of the overblown wealthy lifestyle is somewhat entertaining. It is now quickly becoming shameful to have multiple houses, cars, boats, luxury vacations, etc., during the crisis. It’s reminiscent of a historical revolution against a decadent monarchy. Cut off their heads! It is being done, metaphorically and symbolically, for the benefit of the masses, who still have no cake to eat.

Having grown up and been brainwashed that capitalism and its associate “free democratic” government is the best way, along with the accompanying understanding that the alternative, communism, is anti-American, I watch all of this in wonder.

The average Joe may think it is more equitable that the wealth be more evenly distributed – where indeed is all that money going in these huge government bail-outs? Is this how true capitalism is supposed to work? If it’s not given the name “communism”, or its opposite, the equally despotic “fascism”, most people won’t realize what is really being done. Is the term “socialism” even acceptable to Americans? I can’t say for sure. But even in Europe, where socialism is often the standard, allowing governments to bail out bloated industry is being questioned.

In a simpler time, this crisis might have led to the creation of entirely new industries and modes of production and survival in a natural way, perhaps aligned with Mr. Smith’s notions of free market capitalism. If new energy sources and new ideas were allowed to flourish and not squelched by the domineering corporate tycoons, for example, there would be a new world order quite naturally and harmoniously, no oligarchy required.

But at this point, it can be argued that too many people would starve waiting for the revival to occur as a result of a healthy free market (which doesn’t really exist, anyway). As well, the oligarchy is not really going anywhere. This group is vague, unspecific, mostly unnamed, difficult to trace and avoids any official label. They will remain behind the scenes, perhaps with a smaller wealth (though probably not by much, compared to the rest of us), and forced to now be less ostentatious, at least for now. They will simply morph and adjust as need be. They know what is happening. They’ve likely been preparing and planning for it for awhile now. The new world order that is appearing is just the wolf changing costumes.

I yearn for abundance and prosperity for those who are suffering now. I’m not personally able to offer any alternative, here and now, in this fleshly incarnation, in this present time. You might be able to learn how to ascend this dimension. But until then, what to do about the misery so many people are experiencing? One can preach balance, and love and harmony, but before we get there, we all have to eat. And many of us are not.

Which brings to mind the term “useless eaters” so often quoted by the powers-that-be. In fact, on the heels of this economic “reorganization” is the increasing call to reduce the world’s population. So, again, average Joe thinks, yeah, this is a good idea. I agree to a certain extent – having 14 kids is irresponsible if you’re not living in the dark ages when most children died before age one, and people had to farm their own land to survive. In today’s developed world, it’s downright ridiculous.

I would like to see us all have the inner wisdom to come to these conclusions ourselves, so that we could self-regulate the hardship we are placing on our environment. But admittedly this will not happen overnight, if ever, at this point, at least in the present era, due to traditional mindsets and religious brainwashing. On the other hand, making it a matter of law reeks of totalitarianism. But barring any other alternative, it seems like the Oligarchy’s long-term love of eugenics is also becoming acceptable mainstream discussion.

We are coming near the end of a road. The old world order has been toppled, quite extravagantly and symbolically, since the taking down of the World Trade Center in 2001. Since then, we’ve experienced a very finely-crafted destruction of the remaining structures, culminating in the election of a leader who promises to guide us into a new age.

Like many others, I wait to see whether apocalyptic prophecies are about to be fulfilled, or whether a real, positive change is occurring, that will usher in a new prosperity in harmony with the planet, and with each other.

What do you think?

“If you want to be a great leader, you must learn to follow the Tao. Stop trying to control. Let go of fixed plans and concepts, and the world will govern itself.”

Peace to All: A new President, a new Bretton Woods…

Angela — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 09:17:32 +0000

…wait, was that a pale horse going by?

Remember remember, the fifth of November.

Like a shot heard around the world, the reverberations of Obama’s victory are being felt from Chicago, to Hawaii to Kenya – with a lot of tears of joy, as well as a little antagonism for good measure from our favorite nemesis.

The enthusiasm is palpable, and difficult to avoid. Why not enjoy it for awhile. Some relief is overdue and well-earned, even if superficial.

Despite some obvious links to the same secret elite running the show, one cannot help but feel honored at having witnessed the election of the first black American president. It is an amazing moment for so many people of every background and will not be forgotten. I don’t blame anyone for their ignorance of the true ruling powers and their agendas; the fact that so many people rallied and voted for an African-American candidate for the highest post in the land, because they believed in him as a good man who would bring much-needed and positive change, is an honorable testament to the enduring vision and character of our nation’s people. That is something to be proud of, as an American, whether the whole thing was contrived or not. It would be nice to imagine that our government might actually reflect the good will and intention of the people it’s supposed to represent. Even knowing what I know, I’m still grateful for the moment, however fleeting.

Indeed, just the simple fact that millions around the world are psychically vibing the Universe for change and hope is very, very powerful. That alone could work wonders.

That said, I have noticed a few interesting details.

From now until the inauguration, our lame duck will be busy. A new global financial authority? What interesting timing. The participation of the President-elect is already scheduled. There’s no doubt he will join the game already in play, and could even help inspire the world towards a new ‘glorious’ economic future. Just consider the similarity between Obama’s energy plan and the recently announced plan from the U.N. Thousands of new jobs all working towards energy sustainability? Genius.

This Bretton Woods II has been planned for a very long time. There is no accident in any of it at all. There are so many world leaders calling for a ‘new world order’ by name I can’t even bookmark them fast enough. The noose is tightening, but it will be decorated with rainbows and glitter, thanks perhaps to Obama, who is already being called upon to help usher it in. Most people won’t realize what happened until it’s long over, and they don’t recognize the currency in their wallets anymore.

Colin Powell and Joe Biden both recently and strangely predicted major world events that would test Obama’s presidency from Day One. If a 9/11 type scenario presented itself under Obama’s reign, how would we react?

How about if UFOs finally landed on Obama’s watch? I did notice that the director of his transition team is John Podesta, who has called for the declassification of UFO files in the past few years. And if Obama says the aliens are good guys, everyone will believe him.

I can’t help but notice how well everything went yesterday, all voting malfunctions considered. Unlike the past two elections, the major networks easily predicted Obama’s win in plenty of time for a well-written and generous speech from McCain, so it wouldn’t be too late for Obama to appear at his enormous rally in Chicago. And Obama’s acceptance speech – while I agree was incredibly moving and historic – contained several references that might seem innocent, but for those sensitive to the masonic lingo and the way they are known to communicate, questionable at the very least. Here is the transcript. New dawn? Brick by brick? “Arc” of history? Well done, well done.

And just for the record, at the time of the pronouncement that Obama would become the 44^th President, just after 11 PM Eastern time, he had 333 electoral votes and McCain had 155. The inauguration is scheduled for January 20, 77 days, or 11 weeks exactly, after election day.

I think – I hope – the world will indeed prosper from his leadership, at least for awhile. The problem that has been presented to us (and been reacted to) has been offered a solution, once which has been enthusiastically embraced from all corners of the world. A young, strong, handsome and inspiring face to lead us to the promised land. Green jobs and economic prosperity. The true start to a new millennium of racial and cultural hegemony. Perhaps even a new brand of world peace.

So I am here along for the ride. I expect there to be quite a bit of change indeed, maybe just not always the kind of change people are expecting.

RFID chips? Big Brother? The Department of Homeland Security? PSYOPS? Radical military mind control technologies? The North American Union? Don’t expect such things to change under Obama, though they might be served to us with a bit more sugar and spice.

Myself, I’m starved for something tasty for a change. I’ll go in for a bite, though I can’t eat very much. I’m sure there are at least 3 ½ years before the poison takes effect.

…when a new leader is chosen, don’t offer to help him with your wealth or your expertise. Offer instead to teach him about the Tao.”

Suppression Depression: Vote Early or Lose Out?

Angela — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 05:27:27 +0000

If you’re going to vote, and you are offered the opportunity, vote early. Election day promises to be mayhem.

Early voting turnout is setting records, and in some locations people are already queuing for hours. Some polling stations may not be able to handle the large numbers on election day and would have to turn people away, which some suggest is a form of voter suppression. And there will be a lot of unhappy people around if that happens.

Rumors of voter suppression and accusations of election fraud have been getting a surprising amount of press in the mainstream media. I’m watching just such a report on CNN as I write this. The word is out, and Internet watchdogs like The Brad Blog monitor the topic daily and get thousands of hits. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is outspoken on the subject, and along with Greg Palast recently co-authored an eye-opening article about it in Rolling Stone. They cited this now famous quote from Paul Weyrich, which says it all: “I don’t want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of the people. They never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.”

Please watch this five minute Youtube video, about the truth about ACORN.

Even if you do make it to the polls, there is vast speculation regarding the accuracy of electronic voting machines. In many states there will not even be a paper trail, so a recount would be next to impossible. Not long ago I posted links to the movie Hacking Democracy. It’s well worth a watch. It will be interesting to see any significant result from grassroots movements like Video the Vote and Steal Back Your Vote.

Because so many more people are better informed this time around, some believe if the blues lose, there could be rioting in the streets. Maybe that’s why They brought back that military unit for homeland duty under the aegis of NorthCom, something never before attempted, even ruffling feathers at the ACLU.

But being informed has many levels. The masquerade runs deep. I can see how there are issues to be argued, but behind the scenes the same machine is running the show. This radical article boldly even goes so far as to argue against participating whatsoever.

As it looks to me, things have been going pretty much exactly as planned for the powers-that-be, including the timing of and response to the ‘economic crisis.’ Whatever happens I imagine They will be well prepared to take advantage of the situation.

Take note of the upcoming global summit convening next month to deal with the economic crisis. Whoever ends up being the next president (assuming all goes well between now and inauguration day), will be taking a role in a play already in progress. Come 2009, there could be quite a few “changes” indeed.

I’m under no illusions. But I still can’t wait to see what happens in the next act.

The best leader

follows the will of the people.

The Political Charade, Act I: Sheep on a Merry-Go-Round

The Political Charade, Act II: Still Spinning

Are you surprised yet?

Angela — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 01:35:37 +0000

“Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.”
Amschel Mayer Rothschild

“I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated in the hands of a few men.”

Woodrow Wilson, U.S. President, 1913, after the sneaky creation of the (non-governmental) ‘Federal Reserve Bank’

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”

Written by Jefferson in a letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802).

“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.”

“The one aim of these financiers is world control by the creation of inextinguishable debts.”
Henry Ford

…the tension is still building; at least, that’s what we’re all ‘supposed’ to be feeling. Can you rise above it? Can you be the eye of the hurricane?

As far back as I am able to stand back from all of this, I still can’t shake that feeling of imminent disaster. As positive as I struggle to remain, I can’t help but notice all of the dramatic emotions and desperate circumstances that continue to cross my path on a daily basis. And I’m not even talking about politics or the stock market.

On every level it seems, the angst seems widespread and unrepentant. The media continues to inflame the ‘crisis’, burrowing certain words and possible scenarios into our psyches to the extent that we unwittingly end up creating the reality They want, simply as a result of so many fearful thoughtforms crowding together in the noosphere.

The other night I made a point of googling a chocolate cake recipe on the Internet, just so I could feel happiness at my discovery, rather than that pervasive sense of dread that’s been haunting my every click the past few days. Sometimes you just need a little chocolate to make it through.

I almost don’t want to post this stuff. Could just be fomenting discord and spreading negative memes. Notwithstanding the personal risk we take, simply exercising our free speech these days. I should state for the record, I’m not one for physical revolt. I have always believed the Way out is Within. But be that as it may, I feel obligated to pass on what is resonating so strongly with me at this moment. My personal life is currently being flooded with a deluge of questions from every direction, what is going on? What should I do? And I can only say, it is the beginning of something big, both terrible and wonderful, I can’t say how or what exactly, or when it will end or change, but hold on tight and focus on love, that’s all I Know for sure.

Daniel Pinchbeck’s newest article, Meditations in an Emergency, was a bit unexpected, though quite interesting. It’s well worth a read.

Naomi Wolf’s interview, in which she discusses her book Give Me Liberty (sequel to The End of America) and the associated issues of the loss of freedom in our beloved America, was heartfelt and important. Several friends posted or sent me the link recently, and I seriously recommend readers take a look.

Check out the trailer of Wolf’s coming film, The End Of America. Also please note the C-Span blurb from Congressman Brad Sherman regarding the recent threats of total financial collapse and/or martial law, made towards legislators if they didn’t rush to pass the bail-out. The ramifications are enormous; sadly, most Americans will not grasp the gravity of the event that has already taken place in the ‘land of the free’.

Keith Olbermann’s outrage at the current administration’s actions is priceless, and extremely relevant still today. I have to wonder why he’s even still on the air anymore, frankly. He should be dead by now. Else he’s really some kind of double agent.

No doubt They’re spinning us around faster and faster to disorient us, as They manipulate their agenda into action. The October 14^th rumors of an alien landing have perked my ears, though some say it’s just another boy-crying-wolf scenario. On the other hand, if it does happen, especially now, best brush up on Project Blue Beam. Or, perhaps, an episode of The Twilight Zone. Don’t believe everything you see; look for truth within yourself. Be discerning.

Neil Kramer’s recent article at The Cleaver, Into the Fractal Core: Get Ready for the Shift, wraps up with some wisdom relevant to our times: “Greater dimensions of being await. Observe non-attachment. Do not cling to anything, and there shall be no suffering. Easier said than done, some may say, but take the first step. Know in your heart that all is one. Feel the impermanence of all things. Know the indestructibility of your soul. We have chosen to be here now, in this time of revelation, unveiling and transformation. Stand at the centre. You are the change.”

The Political Charade, Act I: Sheep on a Merry-Go-Round

Angela — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 04:15:29 +0000

Neatly coinciding with the programming void left by the Hollywood writer’s strike, the primary elections have taken on the buzz and excitement normally reserved for the best reality TV shows. Final prize: the Presidency of the United States. Who will get eliminated this week??

In fact I don’t doubt that the drama isn’t as carefully crafted as our entertainment, keeping in mind of course that everything is at least partially scripted these days, “reality” or not. You think we’re actually being given a choice this time around? Interesting, when you consider that Hillary is backed by the Rothschilds, and apparently controlled by the Rockefellers; Obama, who is related to Bush and Cheney, gets his advice from Zbigniew B rzezinski, a known Rockefeller lackey; McCain has Kissinger on his side; and, perhaps most poignant of all, our votes are actually controlled by Diebold. And though it could be a red herring, don’t forget that our own GW, the biggest scab of them all, has written a secret, second draft of the script. In that third act, another “catastrophic event” rips open the scars of 9/11 and locks his own lead role firmly in place forever.

Someone bring back the writers; this script is getting too predictable.

Oh, whatever will happen??, I cry, in my best sarcastic tone. Will it be a Hillary/Obama ticket as forecast months ago by those in tune with elitist agendas? That would sure tie it up nicely, and give a surge of false hope to the masses; on the other hand, the traditional white male model is still quite fashionable these days. If one wonders about whether there are warring factions within the ranks of the elite puppet masters, this year may reveal such a conflict. Is it simply a matter of changing the lead actor in the role? Or are they truly battling it out behind the scenes? One cannot help but watch, like an accident in slow motion, knowing that the scaly talons that currently hold the ball will not relinquish control so readily.

Even if we can guess the ending, it is fascinating to watch the play enacted, particularly since voters themselves play a role. It seems we have become part of the programming ourselves, so tidily manipulated from one side of the aisle to the other by the dangling carrot of hope and faith in the system.

For such players, there seems to be the opportunity to ask, are we ready for an alternative? Are people tired enough of the status quo to come out and make it happen, to read their lines as scripted? Voters are being truly rallied this time around, like sheep on a merry-go-round. But are we being deftly maneuvered towards what many believe could be a bright, new change, just to have all our hopes and dreams dashed by one sweep of the current presidential pen? Many spirits would literally be crushed into submission, the prison walls would become visible and the veil would be lifted forever.

Red pills all around; we’re all out of blue.

Of course it’s all a farce. Whatever it was back in the real GW’s day, it has become a mockery now. But even knowing that, I’ll take four more years of the illusion rather than witness the final death rattle from my beloved country. I’m just not ready yet. I’ll frankly be pleased enough if there even IS an election in November, as long as it’s followed by an actual swearing-in come January. Please – change the guard, even if it is in name only. The alternative could mean the loss of many more lives, not to mention the forced internment of those who think they can revolt.

I’ll be busy in the amusement park on the studio lot this year, just enjoying the rides and praying they don’t get written out of the scene. Because man oh man, I just really, really don’t want to have to say, I told you so.

Baaa.

Financial Armageddon: Will the Amero be the false Messiah?

Angela — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 03:43:05 +0000

I don’t claim to be an expert in economics by any means, but lately I’ve been putting myself through a crash course in an attempt to put recent events in perspective. Recent mainstream news has been full of depressing reports about the state of our economy and the dollar. Topping the headlines has been the mortgage industry, whose biggest companies, such as Countrywide, could be facing bankruptcy. Yesterday there was even a rush on the bank by customers fearful their money would be lost in the process. This is the downside of the real estate boom a couple of years ago; many people are unable to pay the rising costs of variable mortgages, and/or when they try to sell their homes, they discover their home is worth is less than the mortgage they carry.

This situation has global ramifications, since the world markets are so closely tied into each other. Recently several countries have been attempting to resuscitate the markets by infusing cash into the system, our own included. As recently as this past Thursday, central banks in Australia, Japan, the UK, Canada and the European Central bank were forced to step in, hoping to stave off the so called ‘credit crunch’ and potential ensuing market crash. The Federal Reserve additionally cut the rate on discount loans, which might ease the pinch at least for now.

And once again, we find China involved at the very top of the pyramid, this time boldly threatening to collapse the dollar. China holds so many of our dollars, an estimated $900 billion in bonds, that it would be very easy for them to do so, thus setting off a kind of financial Armageddon. The Senate has even drafted a bill which calls for “tariffs against Chinese goods as retaliation for alleged currency manipulation.” It seems weather wars and exporting toxic consumer goods are not enough; an economic war could very well be in the works, as the sleeping dragon stirs.

But not everyone is suffering. Forbes reported on August 8 that “a consortium of the nation’s leading investment banks have quietly created an index that is not only protecting them against the recent market meltdown but also promising to make them bundles of money in the process.” Additionally, Nasdaq is reportedly launching “a private stock market for super-wealthy investors”, which will be outside the purview of any regulatory agency.

One cannot help but notice the timing in these maneuvers; in July, the Rothschild banking group announced its re-unification, ending a separation dating from the 19^th century. A famous quote by Mayer Amschel Rothschild is repeated often, “Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes her laws.” This family is infamously involved in the creation of our modern financial system, dating back to the middle ages. For an excellent, well-researched look inside that history, as well as the occult Masonic symbolism on our money itself, check out Tracy R. Twyman’s article, “The Alchemical Dollar: The Magic and Mystery of America’s Money”, based on her book on the same topic. She links the Federal Reserve’s deeds over the years to an alchemists dream of creating gold, or wealth, from lesser materials. So it is with our dollar; no longer backed by gold or silver, our paper money, now fiat currency, is based solely on the faith of the consumer. In her opinion, by doing so, we are all participating in a magical or alchemical ritual set up long ago. One need not be a conspiracy theorist to find that point of view fascinating.

The nation’s Comptroller, David Walker, was in the news recently warning of a coming fiscal collapse, comparing the state of our economy with the fall of Rome. And don’t count me as an official Ron Paul supporter just yet, but his article, “The End of Dollar Hegemony”, did give me pause. He didn’t have to touch on the occult history of our financial system to remind us of what the Federal Reserve really is (a private bank), and what the abandonment of the gold standard in 1971 could mean for the future of our economy. Congressman Paul also makes a good argument that our recent wars are as much economic as anything else; according to him, abandoning the gold standard forced the US to back it instead with oil, arranging with OPEC in the 1970s to trade exclusively in dollars for the valuable commodity. When Saddam Hussein began to demand trading in Euros rather than dollars for his oil in 2000; well, we know what happened. Similarly in 2001, Venezuela began to talk about switching to Euros for their oil, and within a year there was a coup attempt against Chavez, which was, according to Paul (as well as Counterpunch and Chavez himself), reportedly assisted by the CIA. Paul says Iran is beginning to make the same demands, and rumors of war with that country are already in the news.

Another thought that keeps occurring to me is that we are headed for a new paradigm in terms of global unification of our currencies. This week’s meeting of the Security and Prosperity Partnership in Montebello, Canada, based on the CSIS report on plans for the North American Union, should be a major heads-up to those who don’t already know about the Amero; this YouTube clip from CNBC says it all. It’s coming. And again, the timing should not be ignored. What better way to introduce the idea of a new, unified currency that could compete with the Euro, than allow our dollar to collapse in plain view, to the horror of the average consumer? Take note that protests against the meeting will not be allowed, they are meeting in total secrecy and seclusion a la Bilderburg, which also met there in 1983, and they even plan a 25 kilometer security radius to avoid such threats. Attending along with Presidents Bush, Calderon of Mexico, and Prime Minister Harper of Canada, will be several members of the CSIS who are also members of Bilderburg, the Trilateral Commission, and the CFR, including Kissinger, David Rockefeller, and Zbigniew Brzezinski.

Oh, yeah. Those guys.

“When rich speculators prosper while farmers lose their land; when government officials spend money on weapons instead of cures; when the upper class is extravagant and irresponsible while the poor have nowhere to turn – all this is robbery and chaos. It is not in keeping with the Tao.” - Tao Te Ching #53

The Constitution of the United States of America

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Alexander Hamilton, speech to the New York Ratifying Convention, June 17, 1788

Fear is the foundation of most governments; but it is so sordid and brutal a passion, and renders men in whose breasts it predominates so stupid and miserable, that Americans will not be likely to approve of any political institution which is founded on it.

John Adams, Thoughts on Government, 1776

Finally, there seem to be but three Ways for a Nation to acquire Wealth. The first is by War as the Romans did in plundering their conquered Neighbours. This is Robbery. The second by Commerce which is generally Cheating. The third by Agriculture the only honest Way; wherein Man receives a real Increase of the Seed thrown into the Ground, in a kind of continual Miracle wrought by the Hand of God in his favour, as a Reward for his innocent Life, and virtuous Industry.

Benjamin Franklin, Positions to be Examined, April 4, 1769

“Power makes men wanton . . . it intoxicates the mind; and unless those with whom it is entrusted are carefully watched, such men will not govern the people according to the laws of the state.”

Samuel Adams, famous US politician (1722-1803)

“Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate systematical job of reducing us to slaves.”
Thomas Jefferson (1743 – 1826)

“You (International Trans-Atlantic Bankers) are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the Eternal God, I will rout you out. If the American people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking system, there would be a revolution before morning.”
- General Andrew Jackson in a speech in 1812. He would later become the 7^th president of the United States effectively abolishing a privately owned central bank. On January 30, 1835 he escapes from an assassination attempt when both guns from the attacker misfire.

“Masonry ought forever to be abolished. It is wrong – essentially wrong – a seed of evil, which can never produce any good.”
- John Quincy Adams, sixth President of the United States, Ambassador and Secretary of State in his 1833 book “Letters on Freemasonry.” His father was the vice-president of George Washington, a Freemason.

Crying Wolf: Non-Predictions for the Future

Angela — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 20:55:45 +0000

Prophecy is a difficult subject for me, not because I think it’s not possible, but simply because there are so many false voices out there that a lot of disinformation and propaganda gets let in through the open doors. I mean, how many times have people set a date for the end of the world in the past? Don’t get me started on that one.

On the other hand, I do believe many people will be able to determine without much difficulty some of the likely events that are to come. It doesn’t take a psychic to see there will probably be another really big, terrible “terrorist” attack sometime in the near future. All you have to do is read the news.

It’s also pretty clear we are being groomed for world government. Right now, fear is being used to great advantage towards that goal. However, and unfortunately, so is love and what people see as “doing the right thing”. For example, some believe environmental issues are one way to manipulate us into accepting world government. I mentioned in a past post that immigration is noted by some as a machination for the North American Union, which is one stop closer to world government. After watching some of Michael Moore’s new Sicko, I realized with at start that the health care issue will likely be another turning point in that debate. Clever, they are.

At some point, we will be so fatigued from war, terrorist threats, economic hardship, weather-related disasters, hunger, poverty and whatever other such things you can think of, that the world will begin to clamor for a strong world union that will make all those issues as well as health care, environmental pollution and even religious division a thing of the past. The EU is quite far along on this path, and North America, Asia and Africa are close behind. I know; it sounds good, but if you don’t think all of those things and more have been a result of the machinations of the world’s elite for decades and even centuries (and that the roots are based in suspicious religious symbology) in order to fulfill their goal of ultimate power, you have a lot of reading to do. It’s not secret any longer; it’s just not discussed every night on CNN. I pay attention when people like Bob Woodward warn us about the “secret government.” They are hard at work immantentizing the eschaton.

The hardest part will be, the new order won’t seem bad. In fact it will seem the very essence of love, peace and harmony. The elites will most likely sacrifice many of their own organizations in order to fulfill this part of their plan. And many others are already being formed in the name of saving the planet. It will be easy to manipulate the masses with such a scam, especially if they are weary, hungry and sick – or even devastated by a worldwide catastrophe like nuclear war or a polar shift. In such a scenario, many who are against microchipping now will cave and take the mark. And you don’t have to be a believer in the book of Revelation to be suspicious of that.

By that time I, and many others like me, will likely be erased from the Internet. That is why I feel it’s important to pass on these thoughts now. I’m not claiming to be a prophet or setting any dates; I’m only saying what I think many others could see too, simply if they read history and today’s headlines. I can’t say how many years it will take. 2012 casts a big shadow, but I’m not putting my money there or anywhere. When I search my spirit, though, I am warned that time is very short. This will be dealt with in our generation. The agenda is gaining momentum, and personally I give it only a few years, if that.

I’m not sure why I feel so moved to warn that these things may happen. I feel if I can do anything besides, it would be to provide moral support, because no matter what happens, it will still be all good. Though I deny my insights are any deeper or greater than anyone else’s, nor can I prove it to anyone, I will share that I have had personal experiences that have led me to Know that we are destined for a bright and wonderful future where these powers-that-be don’t exist. Just keep walking and Know, this too will pass. Meanwhile keep Surfing the Tao. Live in love, but pay attention. Have no fear, but don’t wallow in ignorance. Prepare and protect your loved ones. Simply Knowing these things will set us free in a way we cannot even begin to imagine right now.

“Those who try to control, who use force to protect their power, go against the direction of the Tao.” -Tao Te Ching, #77

Deep Integration: the coming North American Union

Angela — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 02:25:40 +0000

From The Plan to Disappear Canada by Murray Dobbin, “If the machinations going on in this country regarding so-called “deep integration” were instead a communist conspiracy to take over the country (you will, of course, have to try hard to imagine this) the news media would be blaring the story.

Pundits would pontificate, editorialists would erupt, security forces would be unleashed.

Instead, a virtual conspiracy to make the country disappear through assimilation into the U.S. gets barely a mention.

But news of the scheme — formally called the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) — is finally breaking out of the secret chambers of the ruling elite and the federal government. This is both good news and bad. It’s good that ordinary citizens are finally getting a glimpse of the betrayal of their country. The news is bad because it reflects just how much of this scheme is already being implemented. “

Mr. Dobbin goes on to summarize the main points of the arrangements in the works. Our government claims the agreement is still ‘informal’ (White House spokesman Tony Snow called the NAU a ’myth’), but others insist it was signed without our approval on March 23, 2005 in Waco, Texas by President George W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin and Mexican President Vicente Fox. From Robert Pastor at the CFR, “The main recommendation of the Task Force is the creation, by 2010 at the latest, of a North American security and economic community whose boundaries will be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter”. Indeed, over 300 agencies are already ‘harmonizing’ regulations of such things as energy, taxes, tariffs, and pesticides, many of which were originally part of NAFTA and are now being ‘fast-tracked’ by the SPP initiative. Even a trilateral open skies initiative has been discussed. (Incidentally, the US and the EU are also ‘harmonizing’ regulations.) Security concerns have always topped the list of justifications for integration. At least one NAFTA superhighway is also in the works (with new RFID tracking technology), even though fourteen states have petitioned Congress to abandon the SPP.

Secretive summits have been held as critics declare an elitist corporate agenda works out the details of their scheme away from prying eyes. Indeed they may have good reason: outspoken critics include Lou Dobbs, Rep. Ron Paul, Rep. Virgil Good (R-Va), and Connie Fogal of the Canadian Action Party, and there are plans to protest the next meeting of the SPP on August 21-22nd in Montebello, Quebec. Opponents from both Canada and the US are up in arms over the potential loss of sovereignty. Others go further, claiming the plans are an act of treason or sedition. At least two other recent acts, the National Defense Authorization Act of 2007(NDAA), which gives the President dictatorial powers in the case of ‘public emergency’, and the Military Commissions Act which suspended habeas corpus in 2006, have been linked to the plans by some opponents. For more information, here is a timeline of the events leading up to deep integration, those organizations working to support the plan, and those fighting against it. Pierre Hillard also provides a substantial overview, as does Dr. Jerome R. Corsi in his book, The Late Great USA.

Proponents insist there are no plans to undermine the US Constitution or create a unified currency, but others maintain these issues will likely be addressed eventually, and probably already have been behind closed doors. Immigration will certainly play a major role in the decision-making process; some wonder if the issue is being used as a diversion, or a “mechanism for achieving the globalists’ NAU goal”. From WorldNetDaily.com, “WASHINGTON — The controversial ‘Secure Borders, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Reform Act of 2007,’ which would grant millions of illegal aliens the right to stay in the U.S. under certain conditions, contains provisions for the acceleration of the Security and Prosperity Partnership, a plan for North American economic and defense integration, WND has learned.” Attaching such an emotional and controversial issue to the globalization agenda is a cleverly sinister way to achieve their eventual goals of a New World Order.
