The first  commandment?  Maintaining the world population under 500 million people.  Another  sinister fact: the authors of what we now call the American  Stonehedge  are still a “mystery”… except for those in the know. We will  look at  the numerous features of this monument, its message calling for a  New  World Order and explain how it is the work of an occult secret  society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/leadgeorgia.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"&gt;&lt;img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5498" title="leadgeorgia" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/leadgeorgia.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="219" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; One of the first articles I ever wrote on this site&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;, back in late 2008,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; was about the Georgia Guidestones. I removed the article about a year ago, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;however,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;   when I came across some vital information: the explanation of the  rules  written by the hidden authors themselves as well as other  documents. So  if you are a long-time reader of this site, please keep  reading as I’ve  re-written the entire article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;Georgia Guidestones&lt;/em&gt;  is an enigmatic granite monument  situated in Elbert County, Georgia.  Also known as the American  Stonehedge, the gigantic structure is almost  20 feet high and is made of  six granite slabs, weighing in total  240,000 pounds. The most  astonishing detail  of the monument is however  not its size but the  message engraved into it: Ten rules for an “Age  of Reason”. These guides  touch upon subjects that are associated with  the “New World Order”,  including massive depopulation, a single world  government, the  introduction of a new type of spirituality, etc. The  authors of those  rules have requested to remain totally anonymous and,  until now, their  anonymity has been duly preserved. However, this  mysterious group left a  text explaining the reasoning behind the rules,  a text that was not  discussed online before. With this new  information, the purpose behind  the Guidestones become very clear,  leaving little room for hypotheses.  The Guidestones describe the ideal  world, as envisioned by occult Secret  Societies. The monument is  therefore proof of an existing link between  secret societies, the world  elite and the push for a New World Order.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;The Monument&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5 class="mceTemp"&gt; &lt;dl id="attachment_5537" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 510px;"&gt;&lt;dt class="wp-caption-dt"&gt;&lt;a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Georgia_Guidestones.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-5537" title="Georgia_Guidestones" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Georgia_Guidestones-e1289416857266.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd class="wp-caption-dd"&gt;Quietly standing in Elberton county, the Guidestones will probably gain in relevancy in the next years&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;/dl&gt; &lt;/h5&gt; &lt;p&gt;Made of Pyramid blue granite, the &lt;em&gt;Georgia Guidestones &lt;/em&gt;are   meant to withstand the test of time and to communicate knowledge on   several levels: philosophically, politically, astronomically, etc. It   consists of four major stone blocks, which contain ten guides for living   in eight languages: English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic,   Chinese, and Russian. A shorter message is inscribed at the top of the   structure in four ancient languages’ scripts: Babylonian, Classical   Greek, Sanskrit, and Egyptian hieroglyphs. It is important to note that   those last four ancient languages are of a great importance in the   teachings of occult mystery schools, such as the Freemasons and the   Rosicrucians, organizations I will discuss later.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The four major  stones are arranged in a giant “paddlewheel”   configuration which are  oriented to the limits of the migration of the   sun during the course  of the year and also show the extreme positions of   the rising and  setting of the sun in its 18.6 year cycle. The center   stone has two  special features: first, the North Star is always visible  through  a  special hole drilled from the South to the North side of the  center   stone; second, another slot aligns with the positions of the   rising  sun at the time of the summer and winter solstices and at the   equinox.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-5542" title="ff_guidestones3_f" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ff_guidestones3_f1-e1289520719926.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="671" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h5 style="text-align: center;"&gt;Source: Wired&lt;/h5&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At  the base of the Guidestones lies an explanatory tablet listing  some of  the details of the structure. It also mentions a time capsule  buried  underneath it. The contents of this time capsule (if it exists)  are a  total mystery.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h5 class="mceTemp"&gt; &lt;dl id="attachment_5541" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 437px;"&gt;&lt;dt class="wp-caption-dt"&gt;&lt;a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/guidestones2.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-5541" title="guidestones2" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/guidestones2.jpg" alt="" width="427" height="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd class="wp-caption-dd"&gt;The  explanatory tablet explains some of the  features of the monuments and  its authors (more on them later). The  opening date of the time capsule  has been left blank.&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;/dl&gt; &lt;/h5&gt; &lt;p&gt;Astronomical features are of a  great importance in the design of the  Guidestones. In a relatively  “new” nation such as the United States,  monuments that are aligned with  celestial bodies are often the work of  secret societies, such as the  Freemasons. Drawing their teachings from  the Mystery schools of Ancient  Egypt, Greece or the Druidic Celts, they  are known for embedding into  monuments some of their “sacred knowledge”.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The 10 Commandements&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h5 class="mceTemp"&gt; &lt;dl id="attachment_5536" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 560px;"&gt;&lt;dt class="wp-caption-dt"&gt;&lt;a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Georgia_Guidestones_English_Full.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-5536" title="Georgia_Guidestones_English_Full" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Georgia_Guidestones_English_Full.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="1121" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd class="wp-caption-dd"&gt;The English version of the Guidelines&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;/dl&gt; &lt;/h5&gt; &lt;p&gt;The ten guides for a new Age of Reason are as follows:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.&lt;br /&gt;2. Guide reproduction wisely – improving fitness and diversity.&lt;br /&gt;3. Unite humanity with a living new language.&lt;br /&gt;4. Rule passion – faith – tradition – and all things with tempered reason.&lt;br /&gt;5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.&lt;br /&gt;6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.&lt;br /&gt;7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.&lt;br /&gt;8. Balance personal rights with social duties.&lt;br /&gt;9. Prize truth – beauty – love – seeking harmony with the infinite.&lt;br /&gt;10. Be not a cancer on the earth – Leave room for nature – Leave room for nature.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;As  you can see, the guidelines call for a drastic reduction of the  world  population, the adoption of new a world language, the creation of a   world court and a vague allusions to eugenics. In other words, a   blueprint for a New World Order.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;Depopulation, Planned Parenthood and Eugenics&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;The  first “commandment” is particularly shocking, since it basically   stipulates that 12 out of 13 people on Earth should not exist;   basically, that would mean everybody in the world would disappear except   half of India. If today’s world population is 6,7 billion, then that  is  a 92.54% surplus. To consider these figures is mind-boggling. But  then,  how many people survived in the movie &lt;em&gt;2012&lt;/em&gt;? Not many. Who were they? The earth’s wealthiest people. Is this predictive programming?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The last rule of the Guidestones, &lt;em&gt;“Be not a cancer on the earth – leave  room for nature –  leave room for nature”&lt;/em&gt;   is particularly disturbing as  it compares human  life to cancer on   earth. With this state of mind, it  is easy to rationalize the   extinction of nearly all of the world’s population.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Massive depopulation is an admitted goal of the world’s elite and many important people have openly called for it:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;In  1988, Britain’s Prince Philip  expressed the wish that,  should he be  reincarnated, he would want to be  “a deadly  virus” that would reduce  world population. More recently,  Bill Gates said “&lt;/span&gt;The world  today has 6.8 billion people … that’s  headed up to about 9 billion. Now  if we do a really great job on new  vaccines, health care, reproductive  health services, we could lower that  by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.”&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;  Along  with tax-deductible donations of enormous amounts of money to  help the  depopulation cause, “secret meetings” of the world’s elite  have been  taking place to discuss those issues:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Some  of America’s leading billionaires have met  secretly to consider how  their  wealth could be used to slow the growth  of the world’s  population and speed  up improvements in health and  education.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The  philanthropists who attended a summit convened on the  initiative of  Bill  Gates, the Microsoft co-founder, discussed joining  forces to  overcome  political and religious obstacles to change.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Described  as the Good Club by one insider it included David  Rockefeller Jr,  the  patriarch of America’s wealthiest dynasty, Warren  Buffett and George   Soros, the financiers, Michael Bloomberg, the mayor  of New York, and  the  media moguls Ted Turner and Oprah Winfrey.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Sunday Times, May 24th 2009&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;The  second rule (“Guide reproduction wisely – improving diversity and   fitness”) basically calls for the inference of lawmakers into the   management of family units. If we read between the lines, it requires to   creation of laws structuring the number of children per family.   Furthermore, “improving diversity and fitness” can be obtained with   “selective breeding” or the sterilization of undesirable members of   society. This used to be called &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics" target="_blank"&gt;“eugenics”&lt;/a&gt;, until it became politically incorrect because of the Nazis.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;One World Government&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“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.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;-David Rockefeller, “Memoirs of David Rockefeller” p.405&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Most of the other rules of the &lt;em&gt;Guidestones&lt;/em&gt;  basically call  for the creation of a world government, ruled by an  “enlightened few”,  who would  regulate all aspects of human life,  including faith, social  duties, economy, etc. This idea is far from  new, as it has been  entertained by Mystery schools for centuries. Manly  P. Hall wrote in  1917:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“When the mob governs,  man is ruled by ignorance;  when the church governs, he is ruled by  superstition; and when the state  governs, he is ruled by fear. Before  men can live together in harmony  and understanding, ignorance must be  transmuted into wisdom,  superstition into an illumined faith, and fear  into love. Despite  statements to the contrary, Masonry is a religion  seeking to unite God  and man by elevating its initiates to that level  of consciousness  whereon they can behold with clarified vision the  workings of the Great  Architect of the Universe. From age to age the  vision of a perfect  civilization is preserved as the ideal for mankind.  In the midst of that  civilization shall stand a mighty university  wherein both the sacred  and secular sciences concerning the mysteries  of life will be freely  taught to all who will assume the philosophic  life. Here creed and dogma  will have no place; the superficial will be  removed and only the  essential be preserved. The world will be ruled by  its most illumined  minds, and each will occupy the position for which  he is most admirably  fitted.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Manly P. Hall, &lt;a href="http://knowledgefiles.com/categories/freemasonry/the-secret-teachings-of-all-ages/" target="_blank"&gt;The Secret Teachings of All Ages&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;In “The Secret Destiny of America”, Hall explains the ancient dream of a world government, as entertained by Secret Societies:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“World  democracy was the secret dream of the great  classical  philosophers.  Toward the accomplishment of this greatest of  all human  ends they  outlined programs of education, religion, and  social conduct  directed  to the ultimate achievement of a practical and  universal  brotherhood.  And in order to accomplish their purposes more  effectively,  these  ancient scholars bound themselves with certain  mystic ties into a   broad confraternity. In Egypt, Greece, India, and  China, the State   Mysteries came into existence. Orders of initiated  priest-philosophers   were formed as a sovereign body to instruct,  advise, and direct the   rulers of the States.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;-Manly P. Hall, &lt;a href="http://knowledgefiles.com/categories/freemasonry/the-secret-destiny-of-america/" target="_blank"&gt;The Secret Destiny of America &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Explanations Directly from the Anonymous Authors&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;Since  the monument’s erection on March 22, 1980, numerous authors and    researchers have attempted to interpret the rationale behind these ten    guidelines. Do they truly consist of a blueprint for a New World   Order?  Are they simply rules to apply in case of a major catastrophe?   The best  place to get an accurate answer is to ask the authors of the   rules  themselves. However, since they have chosen to remain anonymous,   it is impossible  to do so. They did, however, leave an all-important   statement, which has been  overlooked by nearly all researchers of the &lt;em&gt;Guidestones&lt;/em&gt;. This astonishing text, which describes their motives in  great detail, can only be found in &lt;em&gt;The Georgia Guidestone Guidebook&lt;/em&gt;,    a pamphlet produced by the Granite Company, which produced the   monument.  Right from the start, it is obvious that the authors of the   monument &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; seek the creation of a New World Order. This is not   a “conspiracy theory” or hypothesis. It is written in clear and   unequivocal terms. So here is, directly from the pen of the  secret   authors, the explanation of the 10 rules of the &lt;em&gt;Guidestones&lt;/em&gt; (parts in bold have been highlighted by myself, to emphasize noteworthy parts).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;h5 class="mceTemp"&gt; &lt;dl id="attachment_5564" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 260px;"&gt;&lt;dt class="wp-caption-dt"&gt;&lt;a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/guidestonesvocer2.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-5564" title="guidestonesvocer" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/guidestonesvocer2-e1289596608158.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="311" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd class="wp-caption-dd"&gt;Cover of the Georgia Guidestones Guidebook&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;/dl&gt; &lt;/h5&gt; &lt;p&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;It  is very probable that humanity now possesses the  knowledge needed to  establish an effective world government. In some way  that knowledge  must he widely seeded in the consciousness of all  mankind. Very soon  the hearts of our human family must be touched and  warmed so we will  welcome a global rule of reason.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;‘The group  consciousness of our race is blind, perverse, and easily  distracted by  trivia when it should be focused on fundamentals. We are  entering a  critical era. Population pressures will soon create political  and  economic crisis throughout the world. These will make more  difficult  and at the same time more needed the building of a rational  world  society.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;A first step will be to convince a doubting world that such a society is now possible. &lt;/strong&gt;Let   us keep in view enduring appeals to the collective reason of humanity.   Let us draw attention to the basic problems. Let us establish proper   priorities. We must order our home here on earth before we reach for the   stars.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“Human reason is now awakening to its strength. It is  the most  powerful agency yet released in the unfolding of life on our  planet. We  must make humanity aware that acceptance of compassionate,  enlightened  reason will let us control our destiny within the limits  inherent in our  nature.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“It is difficult to seed wisdom in  closed human minds. Cultural  inertias are not easily overcome.  Unfolding world events and the sad  record of our race dramatize the  shortcomings of traditional agencies in  governing human affairs. &lt;strong&gt;The  approaching crisis may make  mankind willing to accept a system of  world law which will stress the  responsibility of individual nations in  regulating internal affairs, and  which will assist them in the  peaceful management of international  frictions.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;‘With  such a system we could eliminate war, We could provide every  person an  opportunity to seek a life of purpose and fulfillment.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“There are  alternatives to Armageddon. They are attainable. But they  will not  happen without coordinated efforts by millions of dedicated  people in  all nations of the earth.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“We, the sponsors of The Georgia  Guidestones®, are a small group of  Americans who wish to focus  attention on problems central to the present  quandary of humanity. We  have a simple message for other human beings,  now and in the future. We  believe it contains self-evident truths, and  we intend no bias for a  particular creed or philosophy. Yet our message  is in some areas  controversial. We have chosen to remain anonymous in  order to avoid  debate and contention which might confuse our meaning,  and which might  delay a considered review of our thoughts. We believe  that our precepts  are sound. They must stand on their own merits.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“Stonehenge and  other vestiges of ancient human thoughts arouse our  curiosity but carry  no message for our guidance. To convey our ideas  across time to other  human beings, we erected a monument — a cluster of  graven stones. These  silent stones will display our ideas now and when  we have gone. We  hope that they will merit increasing acceptance and  that through their  silent persistence they will hasten in a small degree  the coming age of  reason.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;(…)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“We believe that each human being has  purpose. Every one of us is a  small but significant bit of the  infinite. The celestial alignments of  the stones symbolize the need for  humanity to be square with External  principles which are manifest in  our own nature, and in the universe  around us. We must live in harmony  with the infinite.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;‘Four large stones in the central cluster are  inscribed with ten  precepts, each stone carrying the same text in two  languages. In the  English version the message totals fewer than one  hundred words. The  languages have been selected for their historical  significance and for  their impact on people now living. Since there are  three thousand living  languages, not all could he chosen.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“We  envision a later phase in the development of the Georgia  Guidestones®.  It is hoped that other stones can be erected in outer  circles to mark  the migrations of the sun and perhaps certain other  celestial  phenomena. These stones would carry our words in the languages  of other  individuals who share our beliefs and will raise similar  stones at  international boundaries in the languages of friendly  neighbors. They  would serve as reminders of the difficulties which all  humanity must  face together, and would encourage mutual efforts to deal  with them  rationally and with justice.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“We profess no divine inspiration  beyond that which can be found in  all human minds. Our thoughts reflect  our analysis of the problems  confronting humanity in this dawning of  the atomic age. They outline in  general terms certain basic steps which  must be taken to establish for  humanity a benevolent and enduring  equilibrium with the universe.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“Human beings are special  creatures. We are shepherds for all earthly  life. In this world, we  play a central role in an eternal struggle  between good and  evil–between the forces which build and those which  would destroy. The  Infinite envelops all that exists, even struggle,  conflict and change,  which may reflect turmoils in the very soul of God.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“We humans  have been gifted with a small capacity to know and to act–  for good or  for evil. We must strive to optimize our existence, not  only for  ourselves but for those who come after us. And we must not be  unmindful  of the welfare of all other living things whose destinies have  been  placed in our trust.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“We are the major agency through which good  and evil qualities of the  spirit become actors in our world. Without us  there is very little of  love, mercy, or compassion. Yet we can also be  agents of hate, and  cruelty and cold indifference. Only we can  consciously work to improve  this imperfect world. It is not enough for  us to merely drift with the  current. The rational world of tomorrow  lies ever upstream.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“In 1980, as these stones were being raised,  the most pressing world  problem was the need to control human numbers.  In recent centuries  technology and abundant fuels have made possible a  multiplication of  humanity far beyond what is prudent or long  sustainable. Now we can  foresee the impending exhaustion of those  energy sources and the  depletion of world reserves of many vital raw  materials.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“Controlling our reproduction is urgently needed. It  will require  major changes in our attitudes and customs. Unfortunately,  the inertia  of human custom can be extreme. This is especially true  when those for  whom custom is a dominant force are uninformed of the  need for change.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“Nearly every nation is now overpopulated in  terms of a perpetual  balance with nature. We are like a fleet of  overcrowded lifeboats  confronted with an approaching tempest. In the  United States of America  we are seriously overtaxing our resources to  maintain our present  population in the existing state of prosperity. We  are destroying our  farmland and we have grown dangerously dependent  upon external sources  for oil, metals and other nonrenewable resources.  Nations such as Japan,  Holland and Haiti are even more seriously  overpopulated and, therefore,  in greater jeopardy.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;In  these circumstances, reproduction is no longer  exclusively a personal  matter. Society must have a voice and some power  of direction in  regulating this vital function. The wishes of human  couples are  important, but not paramount. The interests of present  society and the  welfare of future generations must be given increasing  consideration as  we develop mechanisms to bring rational control to our  childbearing.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;(…)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;Irresponsible  childbearing must be discouraged by legal and  social pressures.  Couples who cannot provide a decent income and support  for a child  should not produce children to be a burden for their  neighbors.  Bringing unneeded children into an overcrowded lifeboat is  evil. It is  unjust to those children. It is harmful for the other  occupants and all  living things. Society should not encourage or  subsidize such  behavior.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;Knowledge and techniques for  regulating human reproduction  are now in existence. Moral and political  leaders throughout the world  have a grave responsibility to make this  knowledge and these techniques  generally available. &lt;/strong&gt;This could  be done with a fraction of the  funds which the world now devotes to  military purpose. In the long run,  diverting funds into this channel  could do more than anything else to  reduce the tensions which lead to  war.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“A diverse and prosperous world population in perpetual  balance with  global resources will be the cornerstone for a rational  world order.  People of good will in all nations must work to establish  that balance.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(…)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“With the completion of  the central cluster of The Georgia  Guidestones our small sponsoring  group has disbanded. We leave the  monument in the safekeeping of the  people of Elbert County, Georgia.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“If our inscribed words are  dimmed by the wear of wind and sun and  time, we ask that you will cut  them deeper. If the stones should fall,  or if they be scattered by  people of little understanding. we ask that  you will raise them up  again.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;‘We invite our fellow human beings in all nations to  reflect on our  simple message. When these goals are some day sought by  the generality  of mankind, a rational world order can be achieved for  all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Who Are the Authors?&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;So who was is  this “small group of Americans who seek the Age of  Reason”? Although  their identity is secret, they have left some telling  clues to the  initiates, unmistakably pointing towards the occult nature  of their  group. For starters, the text above bares the unmistakable mark  of  western occultism. We can find references to “As Above, So Below” (&lt;em&gt;The   celestial alignments of the stones symbolize the need for humanity  to   be square with External principles which are manifest in our own    nature, and in the universe around us&lt;/em&gt;) and to duality (&lt;em&gt;We are   the major agency through which good and evil qualities of the spirit   become actors in our world. Without us there is very little of love,   mercy, or compassion. Yet we can also be agents of hate, and cruelty and   cold indifference&lt;/em&gt;). I believe this text alone provides enough   proof to conclude that the authors are either Freemasons, Rosicrucians   or another hermetic Secret Society. There are however even more obvious   clues pointing to the esoteric leanings of the authors, starting with   R.C. Christian, the mysterious man who ordered the monument.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;R.C. Christian&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;h5 class="mceTemp"&gt; &lt;dl id="attachment_5583" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 460px;"&gt;&lt;dt class="wp-caption-dt"&gt;&lt;a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/unveiling.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-5583" title="unveiling" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/unveiling-e1289679168190.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="258" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd class="wp-caption-dd"&gt;The unveiling of the Georgia Guidestones. Could one of these people be the mysterious R.C. Christian?&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;/dl&gt; &lt;/h5&gt; &lt;p&gt;Here is the story of the ordering of the Guidestones as told by the official guidebook.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“What  started out as a usual Friday afternoon in  mid-summer has ended in the  production and erection of one of the  world’s most unusual monuments,  produced under the most unusual  conditions. Joe Fendley, president of  Elbert Granite Finishing Company,  Inc. in Elberton, Georgia,was  spending this Friday afternoon in June  1979 like he spends most Friday  afternoons … studying his weekly reports  and generally closing up shop  for a weekend … and then it all started. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;A neatly  dressed man walked into Fendley’s Tate Street office and  said he wanted  to buy a monument. Since everyone else in the office was  busy, Fendley  decided to talk to the stranger himself and explained  that his company  does not sell directly to the public, but only on a  wholesale basis.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Not  to be discouraged, the middle-aged man who identified himself  only as  Mr. Robert C. Christian, said he wanted to know the cost of  building a  monument to the conservation of mankind and began telling  Fendley what  type of monument he wanted. With this he outlined the size  in metric  measurements. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fendley admitted that his first reaction  to Mr. Christian was not  very good, but after listening for about 20  minutes and learning the  massive size of the monument he wished to  purchase and have erected,  Fendley decided he should take this man  seriously.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Ibid.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;h5 class="mceTemp"&gt; &lt;dl id="attachment_5587" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 421px;"&gt;&lt;dt class="wp-caption-dt"&gt;&lt;a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/guidestones21.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-5587" title="guidestones2" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/guidestones21-e1289684598456.jpg" alt="" width="411" height="157" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd class="wp-caption-dd"&gt;The name of R.C. Christian on the explanatory tablet with a nice typo in “pseudonyn”)&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;/dl&gt; &lt;/h5&gt; &lt;p&gt;If  the name R.C. Christian was simply a meaningless pseudonym, why  would  it engraved on to the monument for posterity? Could the name be of  any  significance? Well, it is. R.C. Christian is a clear reference to   Christian Rosenkreuz whose English name is&lt;strong&gt; Christian Rose Cross&lt;/strong&gt;,   the legendary founder of the Rosicrucian Order. Some might say that  the  resemblance between R.C. Christian and Christian Rose Cross is the   result of an odd coincidence. As we will see, it is however only one of   the MANY references to Rosicrucianism associated with the monument.  This  is only one piece of the puzzle, but an important piece  nonetheless.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Rosicrucians&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h5 class="mceTemp"&gt; &lt;dl id="attachment_5588" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 410px;"&gt;&lt;dt class="wp-caption-dt"&gt;&lt;a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/SeekingEntry4.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-5588" title="SeekingEntry4" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/SeekingEntry4.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="497" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd class="wp-caption-dd"&gt;Seeking  entry into the Rosicrucian mysteries.  Notice the candidate is showing  the hand sign of secrecy. Also notice  the letters “RC”, as in R.C.  Christian. &lt;/dd&gt;&lt;/dl&gt; &lt;/h5&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Rosicrucians are known for  publishing three Manifestos, published at the beginning of the 17th century: &lt;em&gt;Fama Fraternitatis Rosae Crucis, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Confessio Fraternitatis &lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;  These anonymous works, surrounded by mystery, cryptically  introduced  the general public to the Rosicrucian philosophy, while  announcing a  great transformation of the political and intellectual  landscape of  Europe. The Age of Enlightenment soon followed, accompanied  with the  fall of feudal Monarchies. The &lt;em&gt;Georgia Guidestones&lt;/em&gt;  seem to  accomplish the same functions as the Rosicrucian manifestos, by  calling  for an important world transformations and maintaining a climate  of  mystery.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;The Age of Reason&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;h5 class="mceTemp"&gt; &lt;dl id="attachment_5590" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 410px;"&gt;&lt;dt class="wp-caption-dt"&gt;&lt;a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ageofreason1.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-5590" title="ageofreason" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ageofreason1.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd class="wp-caption-dd"&gt;Does “Age of Reason” refer to Thomas Paine, a prominent Rosicrucian?&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;/dl&gt; &lt;/h5&gt; &lt;p&gt;There  are numerous references to the concept of “Age of Reason”  within the  Guidestones. Could they be a reference to the classic work of  Thomas  Paine entitled … &lt;em&gt;Age of Reason&lt;/em&gt;?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h5 class="mceTemp"&gt; &lt;dl id="attachment_5592" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 260px;"&gt;&lt;dt class="wp-caption-dt"&gt;&lt;a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ageofreason21.jpeg" rel="prettyPhoto"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-5592" title="ageofreason2" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ageofreason21-e1289686631120.jpeg" alt="" width="250" height="396" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd class="wp-caption-dd"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Age of Reason: Being an Investigation of True and Fabulous Theology&lt;/em&gt;,   is a deistic treatise written by eighteenth-century British radical  and  American revolutionary Thomas Paine. The work critiques   institutionalized religion and challenges the inerrancy of the Bible.   Its tenets advocate reason in place of revelation, a viewpoint that is   obviously shared by the authors of the Guidestones. &lt;/dd&gt;&lt;/dl&gt; &lt;/h5&gt; &lt;p&gt;It is a known fact that Thomas Paine was a leading member of the Rosicrucian Fraternity in America.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“The  Rosicrucian  Fraternity existed in America prior  to the First American  Revolution. In  1774, the great Council of Three  (the Fraternity’s  ultimate governing  body) was composed of Benjamin  Franklin, George  Clymer and &lt;strong&gt;Thomas Paine&lt;/strong&gt;.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The Fraternitas Rosae Crucis, &lt;a href="http://www.soul.org/" target="_blank"&gt;soul.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;In &lt;em&gt;The Secret Destiny of America&lt;/em&gt;, Manly P. Hall describes Thomas Paine as an important crusader for the march towards an ideal world government.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Of  Thomas Paine it has been said that he did more to  win the independence  of the colonies with his pen than George  Washington accomplished with  his sword, Only complete reorganization of  government, religion, and  education would bring us even today to the  perfectionist state Tom  Paine envisioned”.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Manly P. Hall, The Secret Destiny of America&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;This  thinly veiled to Thomas Paine is another piece of the  Rosicrucian  puzzle, which leads me to believe that the authors were  either  Freemasons (who have incorporated Rosicrucian teachings into  their  degrees) or members of the Rosicrucian fraternity.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Furthermore,  as if to make things more obvious, the Georgia  Guidestone booklet  mentions that Joe H. Fendley Sr., the president of  Elberton Granite, as  well as many other people involved with the  building of the monument,  were Masons. Was this the reason of the  selection of these men by the  anonymous sponsors of the monuments?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Fendley is  also involved in fraternal activities.  Raised a Master Mason in 1958,  he is now a member of Philomathea Masonic  Lodge #25 in Elberton, is a  York Rite and Scottish Rite 32° Mason, and  was admitted in the Yaarab  Shrine Temple in Atlanta in 1969. He was  President of the Savannah  Valley Shrine Club from 1972 through 1973. The  Potentate of the Yaarah  Shrine Temple awarded Fendley the “Divan Degree  of Distinction” in  1973, and appointed Ambassador in 1975.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The Georgia Guidestones Guidebook&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;h2&gt;In Conclusion&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;The  Georgia Guidestones are a modern day Rosicrucian manifesto  calling for  (or announcing) a drastic change in the way the world is  managed. The  monument is of a great importance in the understanding of  the forces  covertly shaping today and tomorrow’s world. It materializes  into stone  the crucial link between secret societies, the world elite  and the  agenda for a New World Order. The push for a world government,   population control and environmentalism are issues that are today   discussed on a daily basis in current events. They were not in 1981,   when the Guidestones were erected. Can we say that great progress was   made?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Many of the rules of the Guidestones do make sense for the  preserving  of Earth on a long-term basis. But between the idealistic  words of the  Guidestone’s authors and the actual way these policies  would be applied  on the masses – by power-hungry and greedy politicians  – there is a  world of difference. Reading between the lines, the  Guidestones require  from the masses the loss of many personal liberties  and to submit to  heightened governmental control on many social issues  … not to mention  the death of 92.5% of the population…and probably not  those of the  “elite”. Is the concept of a democracy “by and for the  people”, as  idealized by the Founding Fathers a mere illusion, a  temporary solution  until the introduction of  socialist world  government? Why are the  world’s citizens not being consulted in a  democratic matter? I guess it  is easier for the elites to manufacture  consent through mass medias. But  maybe it won’t work on everybody…&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/g11.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"&gt;&lt;img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5610" title="g1" src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/g11-e1289797580594.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;Related Books Free for Download&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;table id="wp-table-reloaded-id-3-no-1" class="wp-table-reloaded wp-table-reloaded-id-3"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt;  &lt;tr class="row-1"&gt;   &lt;td class="column-1"&gt;&lt;a href="http://knowledgefiles.com/categories/monuments/the-georgia-guidestones-booklet/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/guidestones-e1289799833293.jpg" alt="" title="guidestones" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5614" width="150" height="190" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="column-2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://knowledgefiles.com/categories/monuments/the-georgia-guidestones-booklet/"&gt;The Georgia Guidestones Booklet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;  &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;tr class="row-2"&gt;   &lt;td class="column-1"&gt;&lt;a href="http://knowledgefiles.com/categories/freemasonry/the-secret-destiny-of-america/%22"&gt;&lt;img src="http://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/secretdestiny-e1289799983820.jpg" alt="" title="secretdestiny" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5615" width="150" height="232" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class="column-2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://knowledgefiles.com/categories/freemasonry/the-secret-destiny-of-america/"&gt;The Secret Destiny of America by Manly P.

The Obama administration intends to force gun control and a complete ban on all weapons for US citizens through the signing of international treaties with foreign nations. By signing international treaties on gun control, the Obama administration can use the US State Department to bypass the normal legislative process in Congress. Once the US Government signs these international treaties, all US citizens will be subject to those gun laws created by foreign governments. These are laws that have been developed and promoted by organizations such as the United Nations and individuals such as George Soros and Michael Bloomberg. The laws are designed and intended to lead to the complete ban and confiscation of all firearms.&lt;/p&gt;The Obama administration is attempting to use tactics and methods of gun control that will inflict major damage to our 2nd Amendment before US citizens even understand what has happened. Obama can appear before the public and tell them that he does not intend to pursue any legislation (in the United States) that will lead to new gun control laws, while cloaked in secrecy, his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is committing the US to international treaties and foreign gun control laws. Does that mean Obama is telling the truth? What it means is that there will be no publicized gun control debates in the media or votes in Congress. We will wake up one morning and find that the United States has signed a treaty that prohibits firearm and ammunition manufacturers from selling to the public. We will wake up another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that prohibits any transfer of firearm ownership. And then, we will wake up yet another morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that requires US citizens to deliver any firearm they own to the local government collection and destruction center or face imprisonment. &lt;p&gt;This is not a joke nor a false warning. As sure as government health care will be forced on us by the Obama administration through whatever means necessary, so will gun control.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Read the Article&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;U.S. reverses stance on treaty to regulate arms trade&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States reversed policy on Wednesday and said it would back launching talks on a treaty to regulate arms sales as long as the talks operated by consensus, a stance critics said gave every nation a veto.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The decision, announced in a statement released by the U.S. State Department, overturns the position of former President George W. Bush’s administration, which had opposed such a treaty on the grounds that national controls were better.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Full Article&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSTRE59E0Q920091015"&gt;http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSTRE59E0Q920091015&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6028946688413166831-4230394892780600652?l=thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/feeds/4230394892780600652/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/2009/11/obama-takes-first-step-in-banning-all.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6028946688413166831/posts/default/4230394892780600652'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6028946688413166831/posts/default/4230394892780600652'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/2009/11/obama-takes-first-step-in-banning-all.html' title='Obama Takes First Step in Banning All Firearms'/><author><name>Editor</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028946688413166831.post-1637280509406205694</id><published>2009-10-20T23:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-21T00:42:10.402-07:00</updated><title type='text'>United Nations Agenda 21</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.patriotnewsnetwork.org/"&gt;Patriot News Network&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;October 21, 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Editors Note: The following excerpt was taken from a 1998 article written by &lt;a href="http://www.crossroad.to/text/articles/la21_198.html"&gt;Breit Kjos&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:MS Sans Serif;font-size:85%;"&gt;Agenda 21, the UN blueprint for global    transformation, sounds good to many well meaning people.

Why not save the planet by trading cars for bikes, an open market   for "self-sustaining communities," and single dwellings   for dense "human settlements" (located on transit lines)   where everyone would dialogue, share common ground, and be equal?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:MS Sans Serif;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a name="pcsd"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The answer is simple. Marxist economics has never worked.   Socialism produces poverty, not prosperity. Collectivism creates   oppression, not freedom. Trusting environmental "scientists"   who depend on government funding and must produce politically   useful "information" will lead to economic and social   disaster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="365"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/x5udza&amp;amp;related=0"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/x5udza&amp;amp;related=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="480" height="365"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5udza_agenda-21_news"&gt;Agenda 21&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/us/channel/news"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;UN AGENDA 21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.un.org/esa/dsd/agenda21/index.shtml"&gt;http://www.un.org/esa/dsd/agenda21/index.shtml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="Structure_and_contents"&gt;Structure and contents&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;There are 40 chapters in the Agenda 21, divided into four main sections.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="Section_I:_Social_and_Economic_Dimensions"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.un.org/esa/dsd/agenda21/res_agenda21_02.shtml"&gt;Section I&lt;/a&gt;: Social and Economic Dimensions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Includes combating poverty, changing consumption patterns, population and demographic dynamics, promoting health, promoting sustainable settlement patterns and integrating environment and development into decision-making.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="Section_II:_Conservation_and_Management_of_Resources_for_Development"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.un.org/esa/dsd/agenda21/res_agenda21_09.shtml"&gt;Section II&lt;/a&gt;: Conservation and Management of Resources for Development&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Includes &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" class="new"&gt;atmospheric protection&lt;/span&gt;, combating &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;deforestation&lt;/span&gt;, protecting fragile environments, conservation of biological diversity (&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;biodiversity&lt;/span&gt;), and &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" class="new"&gt;control of pollution&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="Section_III:_Strengthening_the_Role_of_Major_Groups"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.un.org/esa/dsd/agenda21/res_agenda21_23.shtml"&gt;Section III&lt;/a&gt;: Strengthening the Role of Major Groups&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Includes the roles of children and youth, women, NGOs, local authorities, business and workers.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline" id="Section_IV:_Means_of_Implementation"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.un.org/esa/dsd/agenda21/res_agenda21_33.shtml"&gt;Section IV&lt;/a&gt;: Means of Implementation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Implementation&lt;/span&gt; includes science, &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;technology transfer&lt;/span&gt;, education, international institutions and mechanisms and financial mechanisms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Map Of the Wildlands Project&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1984usa.com/higherlearning/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/agneda202120map.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 566px; height: 368px;" src="http://1984usa.com/higherlearning/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/agneda202120map.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;MAP KEY:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Red&lt;/span&gt; - Off limits to human beings - no resource development, No human activity.

Secret meetings have already been held by finance ministers and central bank    governors in Russia, China, Japan and Brazil to work on the scheme, which    will mean that oil will no longer be priced in dollars.  &lt;/p&gt;

White House photo by Chris Greenberg" style="float: left;" /&gt;Proponents of the partnership claim its purpose is to increase security and prosperity for all three nations through enhanced cooperation. Critics maintain the partnership will sacrifice U.S. sovereignty by establishing a “North American Union,” with open borders and a common currency. Recently, President Bush stated that he found these fears "amusing."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Judicial Watch does not find it amusing and is calling for complete transparency and disclosure in the matter. On August 10, 2007, Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit against the Department of Commerce and Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez for denying Judicial Watch access to the North American Competitiveness Council (NACC) meetings and records.

I never served in combat and felt badly about that for a long time. But now I look at the Big Picture of global politics and feel more strongly then ever that I am lucky. What the duties of a soldier in combat are have never been blurrier. I feel our men are being exploited and no one is doing anything about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I grew up a few hours from Kent State University in Ohio, and we all know what happened there. I feel our leaders know no limits and the potential for that happening again has never been higher. Though my NCO's were clear on the line between moral and immoral orders and the soldiers individual responsibility, no formal training existed for guardsman, who will be the first called to RESTORE ORDER, and that scares the hell out of me now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Constitution belongs to the people (no matter how they alter it) and the Oath is the only protection it has. I thank the Oath Keepers for providing the backbone necessary for Our Leaders to see there are limits, and using military force to keep their power is never an option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THANK YOU Stewart for allowing me the opportunity to stand behind My Oath in a manner that is morally acceptable to me, and once again protect my family and my country from those that would do it great harm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincere and faithful service,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christoper Davis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="295"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Zf2K4-BQYAI&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Zf2K4-BQYAI&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6028946688413166831-5147285466318456470?l=thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/feeds/5147285466318456470/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/2009/09/christoper-davis-oath-keepers-september.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6028946688413166831/posts/default/5147285466318456470'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6028946688413166831/posts/default/5147285466318456470'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/2009/09/christoper-davis-oath-keepers-september.html' title='National Guardsman Stands Behind His Oath'/><author><name>Editor</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028946688413166831.post-2015476861379179830</id><published>2009-09-24T19:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-24T19:30:39.003-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Federal Reserve Admits Hiding Gold Swap Arrangements, GATA Says</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.gata.org/"&gt;Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;September 23, 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MANCHESTER, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Federal Reserve System has disclosed to the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc. that it has gold swap arrangements with foreign banks that it does not want the public to know about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The disclosure, GATA says, contradicts denials provided by the Fed to GATA in 2001 and suggests that the Fed is indeed very much involved in the surreptitious international central bank manipulation of the gold price particularly and the currency markets generally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Fed's disclosure came this week in a letter to GATA's Washington-area lawyer, William J. Olson of Vienna, Virginia (&lt;a href="http://www.lawandfreedom.com/"&gt;http://www.lawandfreedom.com&lt;/a&gt;/), denying GATA's administrative appeal of a freedom-of-information request to the Fed for information about gold swaps, transactions in which monetary gold is temporarily exchanged between central banks or between central banks and bullion banks. (See the International Monetary Fund's treatise on gold swaps here: &lt;a href="http://www.imf.org/external/bopage/pdf/99-10.pdf"&gt;http://www.imf.org/external/bopage/pdf/99-10.pdf&lt;/a&gt;.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VbYkytJgb6I/SnkPFLB2eqI/AAAAAAAAALc/1pdmkEKhM7I/S280/Promosmall.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Tune in Saturdays at 8pm&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thetruthpatriot.com/"&gt;thetruthpatriot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The letter, dated September 17 and written by Federal Reserve Board member Kevin M. Warsh (see &lt;a href="http://www.federalreserve.gov/aboutthefed/bios/board/warsh.htm"&gt;http://www.federalreserve.gov/aboutthefed/bios/board/warsh.htm&lt;/a&gt;), formerly a member of the President's Working Group on Financial Markets, detailed the Fed's position that the gold swap records sought by GATA are exempt from disclosure under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Warsh wrote in part: "In connection with your appeal, I have confirmed that the information withheld under Exemption 4 consists of confidential commercial or financial information relating to the operations of the Federal Reserve Banks that was obtained within the meaning of Exemption 4. This includes information relating to swap arrangements with foreign banks on behalf of the Federal Reserve System and is not the type of information that is customarily disclosed to the public. This information was properly withheld from you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;When, in 2001, GATA discovered a reference to gold swaps in the minutes of the January 31-February 1, 1995, meeting of the Federal Reserve's Federal Open Market Committee and pressed the Fed, through two U.S. senators, for an explanation, Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan denied that the Fed was involved in gold swaps in any way. Greenspan also produced a memorandum written by the Fed official who had been quoted about gold swaps in the FOMC minutes, FOMC General Counsel J. Virgil Mattingly, in which Mattingly denied making any such comments. (See &lt;a href="http://www.gata.org/node/1181"&gt;http://www.gata.org/node/1181&lt;/a&gt;.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Fed's September 17 letter to GATA confirming that the Fed has gold swap arrangements can be found here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gata.org/files/GATAFedResponse-09-17-2009.pdf"&gt;http://www.gata.org/files/GATAFedResponse-09-17-2009.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the letter, GATA says, is far from the first official admission of central bank scheming to suppress the price of gold (for documentation of some of these admissions, see &lt;a href="http://www.gata.org/node/6242"&gt;http://www.gata.org/node/6242&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.gata.org/node/7096"&gt;http://www.gata.org/node/7096&lt;/a&gt;), it comes at a sensitive time in the currency and gold markets. The U.S. dollar is showing unprecedented weakness, the gold price is showing unprecedented strength, Western European central banks appear to be withdrawing from gold sales and leasing, and the International Monetary Fund is being pressed to take the lead in the gold price suppression scheme by selling gold from its own supposed reserves in the guise of providing financial support for poor nations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GATA will seek to bring a lawsuit in federal court to appeal the Fed's denial of our freedom-of-information request. While this will require many thousands of dollars, the Fed's admission that it aims to conceal documentation of its gold swap arrangements establishes that such a lawsuit would have a distinct target and not be just a fishing expedition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In pursuit of such a lawsuit and its general objective of liberating the precious metals markets and making them fair and transparent, GATA again asks for financial support from the public and from all gold and silver mining companies that are not at the mercy of market-manipulating governments and banks. GATA is recognized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as a non-profit educational and civil rights organization and contributions to it are federally tax-exempt in the United States.

I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of the medical profession.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of business and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats and most of them will not be health care professionals. Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, as scary as all of that it, it just scratches the surface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices. Instead it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated. If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have been destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government. The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number of different areas over the lives of the American people and the businesses they own. The irony is that the Congress doesn’t have any authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with. I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority granted to the members of Congress to regulate health care.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VbYkytJgb6I/SnkPFLB2eqI/AAAAAAAAALc/1pdmkEKhM7I/S280/Promosmall.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Tune in Saturdays at 8pm&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thetruthpatriot.com/"&gt;thetruthpatriot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;This legislation also provides for access by the appointees of the Obama administration of all of your personal healthcare information, your personal financial information, and the information of your employer, physician, and hospital. All of this is a direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may provide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you decide not to have healthcare insurance or if you have private insurance that is not deemed “acceptable” to the “Health Choices Administrator” appointed by Obama there will be a tax imposed on you. It is called a “tax” instead of a fine because of the intent to avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment. However, that doesn’t work because since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriving someone of property without the “due process of law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left hate so much out the original ten in the Bill of Rights that are effectively nullified by this law. It doesn’t stop there though. The 9th Amendment that provides: “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people;” The 10th Amendment states: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional handiwork neither the people nor the states are going to have any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs to control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could write many more pages about this legislation, but I think you get the idea. This is not about health care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights. Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of both houses of Congress to “be bound by oath or affirmation” to support the Constitution. If I was a member of Congress I would not be able to vote for this legislation or anything like it without feeling I was violating that sacred oath or affirmation. If I voted for it anyway I would hope the American people would hold me accountable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;For those who might doubt the nature of this threat I suggest they consult the source.

In fact I didn’t just give my views I gave you videos of others views and comments on this treaty and what it would do to America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not the only treaty with the United Nations that Obama wants to push thru the Senate. He has in fact sent no less than 17 treaties he wants the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to put up for adoption as soon as possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc9933;"&gt;Obama’s submission to the Foreign Relations Committee names 17 treaties that he wants ratified. In addition to UNCLOS, they include the feminist Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the unverifiable Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, and the gun rights-destroying Inter-American Convention Against Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, and Other Related Materials.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I am especially concerned with the last treaty agreement on this list: Inter-American Convention Against Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, and Other Related Materials. When our government, and in this case the governments all over the world who hate America, takes citizens weapons away from them the only conclusion to be had is that government fears the people and wants to enslave those people. Unfortunate to those who would dismiss such a factual theory, history supports this conclusion with nothing other than facts. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;If the fact that the US involvement with the corrupt United Nations body isn't enough reason to be suspicious of those in charge, LOOK AT THE TREATIES!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Just in case you want to read it , here's a link to the&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://untreaty.un.org/unts/144078_158780/10/1/303.pdf"&gt;atrocity&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;(Requires Acrobat Reader) and just in case the UN link is not what you want, here's a link to our own&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.state.gov/p/wha/rls/49907.htm"&gt;Government's&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;site. (Just makes you proud doesn't it?)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now in case you didn't understand what you just read. Our president is asking an international entity have access to gun owner databases, govern what weapons you can and cannot have, and listen carefully, &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;they can extradite you and prosecute you under treaty law!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;The Constitution cannot protect you because this convention is not subject to it. Sadly though, none of this should even be a suprise to you. The excessive taxation, the government corruption, the unconstitutional laws, violation of civil rights, and the government size growing out of control without any regulation. It all has one purpose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is a reason the government is afraid of the people having guns. Even look at the Treaty To &lt;a href="http://gunowners.org/a042109.htm"&gt;Ban Reloading&lt;/a&gt;. It's evident they are worried about an uprising. THE QUESTION IS: WHY???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps I can point you to a couple of videos to put a start on answering this question. (I suggest watching them in order)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. &lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1656880303867390173"&gt;http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1656880303867390173&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are losing our country and fast folks, consider this the alarm because I promise you won't get it from the nightly news.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;I can say this for sure America, sit back now, and I promise you will soon regret doing nothing. You owe it to yourself, your country, and your loved ones to research and educate yourselves now before it is too late.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The time has come, the time is now, we need to stop this before it grows to a size that is beyond our control. I am asking you all to take a stand. Call your senator and DEMAND this be stopped. The future of our country depends on you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6028946688413166831-5603558457592200011?l=thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/feeds/5603558457592200011/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/2009/08/obama-wishes-to-give-un-rights-over.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6028946688413166831/posts/default/5603558457592200011'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6028946688413166831/posts/default/5603558457592200011'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/2009/08/obama-wishes-to-give-un-rights-over.html' title='Obama wishes to give UN rights over American citizens'/><author><name>-matt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17768824109359229304</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028946688413166831.post-2980691199072939526</id><published>2009-08-01T22:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-02T08:31:24.781-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Obama to hand over sovereignty to the United Nations with Law of the Sea Treaty</title><content type='html'>Say goodbye to sovereignty with the Law of the Sea Treaty. It's called LOST which I find so appropriate because LOST will be what the United States of America will be if this treaty is signed by our Senate. The deeply flawed, Soviet-era agreement giving unelected, unaccountable international bureaucrats control over 71 percent of the Earth’s surface is now on a fast track to ratification. Listen closely to all of these videos and then you decide for yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;NOTE: If approved by the US Senate this Treaty becomes a part of our Constitution as law. It gives the United Nations absolute authority over all waters and THE AIR ABOVE these waters. This means the United Nations on which we like all nations have only one vote will not only control our ships at sea but our Air Force when they are over these waters. An example: The United Nations can stop the United States from flying supplies to our armed forces overseas because to get to them we must fly over water.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last but certainly not least, the United Nations will have the right with this treaty to tax the people of the United States!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="265" width="320"&gt;&lt;param

Michael Sweeney copyright (c) 1997, 2000 All rights reserved&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Built upon Thirteen Techniques for Truth Suppression by David Martin, the following may be useful to the initiate in the world of dealing with veiled and half-truth, lies, and suppression of truth when serious crimes are studied in public forums. This, sadly, includes every day news media, one of the worst offenders with respect to being a source of disinformation. Where the crime involves a conspiracy, or a conspiracy to cover up the crime, there will invariably be a disinformation campaign launched against those seeking to uncover and expose the truth and/or the conspiracy. There are specific tactics which disinfo artists tend to apply, as revealed here. Also included with this material are seven common traits of the disinfo artist which may also prove useful in identifying players and motives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The more a particular party fits the traits and is guilty of following the rules, the more likely they are a professional disinfo artist with a vested motive. People can be bought, threatened, or blackmailed into providing disinformation, so even "good guys" can be suspect in many cases.&lt;br /&gt;A rational person participating as one interested in the truth will evaluate that chain of evidence and conclude either that the links are solid and conclusive, that one or more links are weak and need further development before conclusion can be arrived at, or that one or more links can be broken, usually invalidating (but not necessarily so, if parallel links already exist or can be found, or if a particular link was merely supportive, but not in itself key to) the argument. The game is played by raising issues which either strengthen or weaken (preferably to the point of breaking) these links. It is the job of a disinfo artist to interfere with these evaluations... to at least make people think the links are weak or broken when, in truth, they are not... or to propose alternative solutions leading away from the truth. Often, by simply impeding and slowing down the process through disinformation tactics, a level of victory is assured because apathy increases with time and rhetoric.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would seem true in almost every instance, that if one cannot break the chain of evidence for a given solution, revelation of truth has won out. If the chain is broken either a new link must be forged, or a whole new chain developed, or the solution is invalid and a new one must be found... but truth still wins out. There is no shame in being the creator or supporter of a failed solution, chain, or link, if done with honesty in search of the truth. This is the rational approach. While it is understandable that a person can become emotionally involved with a particular side of a given issue, it is really unimportant who wins, as long as truth wins. But the disinfo artist will seek to emotionalize and chastise any failure (real or false claims thereof), and will seek by means of intimidation to prevent discussion in general.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the disinfo artist and those who may pull their strings (those who stand to suffer should the crime be solved) MUST seek to prevent rational and complete examination of any chain ofevidence which would hang them. Since fact and truth seldom fall on their own, they must be overcome with lies and deceit. Those who are professional in the art of lies and deceit, such as the intelligence community and the professional criminal (often the same people or at least working together), tend to apply fairly well defined and observable tools in this process.However, the public at large is not well armed against such weapons, and is often easily ledastray by these time-proven tactics. Remarkably, not even media and law enforcement have NOT BEEN TRAINED to deal with these issues. For the most part, only the players themselves understand the rules of the game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For such disinformationalists, the overall aim is to avoid discussing links in the chain of evidence which cannot be broken by truth, but at all times, to use clever deceptions or lies to make select links seem weaker than they are, create the illusion of a break, or better still, cause any who are considering the chain to be distracted in any number of ways, including the method of questioning the credentials of the presenter. Please understand that fact is fact, regardless of the source. Likewise, truth is truth, regardless of the source. This is why criminals are allowed to testify against other criminals. Where a motive to lie may truly exist, only actual evidence that the testimony itself IS a lie renders it completely invalid. Were a known 'liar's' testimony to stand on its own without supporting fact, it might certainly be of questionable value, but if the testimony (argument) is based on verifiable or otherwise demonstrable facts, it matters not who does the presenting or what their motives are, or if they have lied in the past or even if motivated to lie in this instance -- the facts or links would and should stand or fall on their own merit and their part in the matter will merely be supportive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, particularly with respects to public forums such as newspaper letters to the editor, and Internet chat and news groups, the disinfo type has a very important role. In these forums, the principle topics of discussion are generally attempts by individuals to cause other persons to become interested in their own particular position, idea, or solution -- very much in development at the time. People often use such mediums as a sounding board and in hopes of pollination to better form their ideas. Where such ideas are critical of government or powerful, vested groups (especially if their criminality is the topic), the disinfo artist has yet another role -- the role of nipping it in the bud. They also seek to stage the concept, the presenter, and any supporters as less than credible should any possible future confrontation in more public forums result due to their early successes. You can often spot the disinfo types at work here by the unique application of "higher standards" of discussion than necessarily warranted. They will demand that those presenting arguments or concepts back everything up with the same level of expertise as a professor, researcher, or investigative writer. Anything less renders anydiscussion meaningless and unworthy in their opinion, and anyone who disagrees is obviously stupid -- and they generally put it in exactly those terms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, as you read any such discussions, particularly so in Internet news groups (NG), decide for yourself when a rational argument is being applied and when disinformation, psyops (psychological warfare operations) or trickery is the tool. Accuse those guilty of the latter freely. They (both those deliberately seeking to lead you astray, and those who are simply foolish or misguided thinkers) generally run for cover when thus illuminated, or -- put in other terms, they put up or shut up (a perfectly acceptable outcome either way, since truth is the goal.) Here are the twenty-five methods and seven traits, some of which don't apply directly to NG application. Each contains a simple example in the form of actual (some paraphrased for simplicity) from NG comments on commonly known historical events, and a proper response.[examples &amp;amp; response- &lt;a href="http://www.proparanoid.com/truth.html"&gt;http://www.proparanoid.com/truth.html&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;Accusations should not be overused -- reserve for repeat offenders and those who use multiple tactics. Responses should avoid falling into emotional traps or informational sidetracks, unless it is feared that some observers will be easily dissuaded by the trickery. Consider quoting the complete rule rather than simply citing it, as others will not have reference. Offer to provide a complete copy of the rule set upon request (see permissions statement at end):&lt;br /&gt;PROPAGANDA, "PSYOPS", DEBUNKING TECHNIQUES&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Twenty-Five Rules of Disinformation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: The first rule and last five (or six, depending on situation) rules are generally not directly within the ability of the traditional disinfo artist to apply. These rules are generally used more directly by those at the leadership, key players, or planning level of the criminal conspiracy or conspiracy to cover up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Regardless of what you know, don't discuss it -- especially if you are a public figure, news anchor, etc. If it's not reported, it didn't happen, and you never have to deal with the issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Become incredulous and indignant.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Avoid discussing key issues and instead focus on side issues which can be used show the topic as being critical of some otherwise sacrosanct group or theme. This is also known as the "How dare you!" gambit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Create rumor mongers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Avoid discussing issues by describing all charges, regardless of venue or evidence, as mere rumors and wild accusations. Other derogatory terms mutually exclusive of truth may work as well. This method works especially well with a silent press, because the only way the public can learn of the facts are through such "arguable rumors". If you can a$$ociate the material with the Internet, use this fact to certify it a "wild rumor" which can have no basis in fact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Use a straw man.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Find or create a seeming element of your opponent's argument which you can easily knock down to make yourself look good and the opponent to look bad. Either make up an issue you may safely imply exists based on your interpretation of the opponent/opponent arguments/situation, or select the weakest aspect of the weakest charges. Amplify their significance and destroy them in a way which appears to debunk all the charges, real and fabricated alike, while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt; Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; This is also known as the primary attack the messenger ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. ***ociate opponents with unpopular titles such as "kooks", "right-wing", "liberal", "left-wing", "terrorists", "conspiracy buffs", "radicals", "militia", "racists", "religious fanatics", "sexual deviates", and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Hit and Run.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; In any public forum, make a brief attack of your opponent or the opponent position and then scamper off before an answer can be fielded, or simply ignore any answer. This works extremely well in Internet and letters-to-the-editor environments where a steady stream of new identities can be called upon without having to explain criticism reasoning -- simply make an accusation or other attack, never discussing issues, and never answering any subsequent response, for that would dignify the opponent's viewpoint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Question motives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Twist or amplify any fact which could so taken to imply that the opponent operates out of a hidden personal agenda or other bias. This avoids discussing issues and forces the accuser on the defensive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Invoke authority.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Claim for yourself or ***ociate yourself with authority and present your argument with enough "jargon" and "minutiae" to illustrate you are "one who knows", and simply say it isn't so without discussing issues or demonstrating concretely why or citing sources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Play Dumb.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; No matter what evidence or logical argument is offered, avoid discussing issues with denial they have any credibility, make any sense, provide any proof, contain or make a point, have logic, or support a conclusion. Mix well for maximum effect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt; A$$ociate opponent charges with old news.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; A derivative of the straw man usually, in any large-scale matter of high visibility, someone will make charges early on which can be or were already easily dealt with. Where it can be foreseen, have your own side raise a straw man issue and have it dealt with early on as part of the initial contingency plans. Subsequent charges, regardless of validity or new ground uncovered, can usually them be a$$ociated with the original charge and dismissed as simply being a rehash without need to address current issues -- so much the better where the opponent is or was involved with the original source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Establish and rely upon fall-back positions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Using a minor matter or element of the facts, take the "high road" and "confess" with candor that some innocent mistake, in hindsight, was made -- but that opponents have seized on the opportunity to blow it all out of proportion and imply greater criminalities which, "just isn't so." Others can reinforce this on your behalf, later. Done properly, this can garner sympathy and respect for "coming clean" and "owning up" to your mistakes without addressing more serious issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Enigmas have no solution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Drawing upon the overall umbrella of events surrounding the crime and the multitude of players and events, paint the entire affair as too complex to solve. This causes those otherwise following the matter to begin to loose interest more quickly without having to address the actual issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Alice in Wonderland Logic. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Avoid discussion of the issues by reasoning backwards with an apparent deductive logic in a way that forbears any actual material fact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Demand complete solutions.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Avoid the issues by requiring opponents to solve the crime at hand completely, a ploy which works best for items qualifying for rule 10.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Fit the facts to alternate conclusions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; This requires creative thinking unless the crime was planned with contingency conclusions in place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16. &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vanishing evidence and witnesses.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; If it does not exist, it is not fact, and you won't have to address the issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17.&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Change the subject.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Usually in connection with one of the other ploys listed here, find a way to side-track the discussion with abrasive or controversial comments in hopes of turning attention to a new, more manageable topic. This works especially well with companions who can "argue" with you over the new topic and polarize the discussion arena in order to avoid discussing more key issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt; Emotionalize, Antagonize, and Goad Opponents.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; If you can't do anything else, chide and taunt your opponents and draw them into emotional responses which will tend to make them look foolish and overly motivated, and generally render their material somewhat less coherent. Not only will you avoid discussing the issues in the first instance, but even if their emotional response addresses the issue, you can further avoid the issues by then focusing on how "sensitive they are to criticism".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19. &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ignore proof presented, demand impossible proofs.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; This is perhaps a variant of the "play dumb" rule. Regardless of what material may be presented by an opponent in public forums, claim the material irrelevant and demand proof that is impossible for the opponent to come by (it may exist, but not be at his disposal, or it may be something which is known to be safely destroyed or withheld, such as a murder weapon). In order to completely avoid discussing issues may require you to categorically deny and be critical of media or books as valid sources, deny that witnesses are acceptable, or even deny that statements made by government or other authorities have any meaning or relevance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20. &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;False evidence.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Whenever possible, introduce new facts or clues designed and manufactured to conflict with opponent presentations as useful tools to neutralize sensitive issues or impede resolution. This works best when the crime was designed with contingencies for the purpose, and the facts cannot be easily separated from the fabrications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21. &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Call a Grand Jury, Special Prosecutor, or other empowered investigative body.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Subvert the (process) to your benefit and effectively neutralize all sensitive issues without open discussion. Once convened, the evidence and testimony are required to be secret when properly handled. For instance, if you own the prosecuting attorney, it can insure a Grand Jury hears no useful evidence and that the evidence is sealed an unavailable to subsequent investigators. Once a favorable verdict (usually, this technique is applied to find the guilty innocent, but it can also be used to obtain charges when seeking to frame a victim) is achieved, the matter can be considered officially closed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;22. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Manufacture a new truth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Create your own expert(s), group(s), author(s), leader(s) or influence existing ones willing to forge new ground via scientific, investigative, or social research or testimony which concludes favorably. In this way, if you must actually address issues, you can do so authoritatively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;23. &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Create bigger distractions.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; If the above does not seem to be working to distract from sensitive issues, or to prevent unwanted media coverage of unstoppable events such as trials, create bigger news stories (or treat them as such) to distract the multitudes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;24. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Silence critics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; If the above methods do not prevail, consider removing opponents from circulation by some definitive solution so that the need to address issues is removed entirely. This can be by their death, arrest and detention, blackmail or destruction of their character by release of blackmail information, or merely by proper intimidation with blackmail or other threats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;25. &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vanish.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; If you are a key holder of secrets or otherwise overly illuminated and you think the heat is getting too hot, to avoid the issues, vacate the kitchen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: There are other ways to attack truth, but these listed are the most common, and others are likely derivatives of these. In the end, you can usually spot the professional disinfo players by one or more of seven (now 8) distinct traits:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Eight Traits of the Disinformationalist&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by H. Michael Sweeney&lt;br /&gt;copyright (c) 1997, 2000 All rights reserved&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avoidance.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; They never actually discuss issues head-on or provide constructive input, generally avoiding citation of references or credentials. Rather, they merely imply this, that, and the other. Virtually everything about their presentation implies their authority and expert knowledge in the matter without any further justification for credibility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Selectivity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; They tend to pick and choose opponents carefully, either applying the hit-and-run approach against mere commentators supportive of opponents, or focusing heavier attacks on key opponents who are known to directly address issues. Should a commentator become argumentative with any success, the focus will shift to include the commentator as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Coincidental.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; They tend to surface suddenly and somewhat coincidentally with a new controversial topic with no clear prior record of participation in general discussions in the particular public arena involved. They likewise tend to vanish once the topic is no longer of general concern. They were likely directed or elected to be there for a reason, and vanish with the reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Teamwork.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; They tend to operate in self-congratulatory and complementary packs or teams. Of course, this can happen naturally in any public forum, but there will likely be an ongoing pattern of frequent exchanges of this sort where professionals are involved. Sometimes one of the players will infiltrate the opponent camp to become a source for straw man or other tactics designed to dilute opponent presentation strength.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Anti-conspiratorial.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; They almost always have disdain for 'conspiracy theorists' and, usually, for those who in any way believe JFK was not killed by LHO. Ask yourself why, if they hold such disdain for conspiracy theorists, do they focus on defending a single topic discussed in a NG focusing on conspiracies? One might think they would either be trying to make fools of everyone on every topic, or simply ignore the group they hold in such disdain.Or, one might more rightly conclude they have an ulterior motive for their actions in going out of their way to focus as they do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Artificial Emotions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; An odd kind of 'artificial' emotionalism and an unusually thick skin -- an ability to persevere and persist even in the face of overwhelming criticism and unacceptance. This likely stems from intelligence community training that, no matter how condemning the evidence, deny everything, and never become emotionally involved or reactive. The net result for a disinfo artist is that emotions can seem artificial. Most people, if responding in anger, for instance, will express their animosity throughout their rebuttal. But disinfo types usually have trouble maintaining the 'image' and are hot and cold with respect to pretended emotions and their usually more calm or unemotional communications style. It's just a job, and they often seem unable to 'act their role in character' as well in a communications medium as they might be able in a real face-to-face conversation/confrontation. You might have outright rage and indignation one moment, ho-hum the next, and more anger later -- an emotional yo-yo. With respect to being thick-skinned, no amount of criticism will deter them from doing their job, and they will generally continue their old disinfo patterns without any adjustments to criticisms of how obvious it is that they play that game -- where a more rational individual who truly cares what others think might seek to improve their communications style, substance, and so forth, or simply give up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Inconsistent.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; There is also a tendency to make mistakes which betray their true self/motives. This may stem from not really knowing their topic, or it may be somewhat 'freudian', so to speak, in that perhaps they really root for the side of truth deep within.&lt;br /&gt;I have noted that often, they will simply cite contradictory information which neutralizes itself and the author. For instance, one such player claimed to be a Navy pilot, but blamed his poor communicating skills (spelling, grammar, incoherent style) on having only a grade-school education. I'm not aware of too many Navy pilots who don't have a college degree. Another claimed no knowledge of a particular topic/situation but later claimed first-hand knowledge of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8) &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;BONUS TRAIT:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Time Constant. Recently discovered, with respect to News Groups, is the response time factor. There are three ways this can be seen to work, especially when the government or other empowered player is involved in a cover up operation:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) ANY NG posting by a targeted proponent for truth can result in an IMMEDIATE response. The government and other empowered players can afford to pay people to sit there and watch for an opportunity to do some damage. SINCE DISINFO IN A NG ONLY WORKS IF THE READER SEES IT - FAST RESPONSE IS CALLED FOR, or the visitor may be swayed towards truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) When dealing in more direct ways with a disinformationalist, such as email, DELAY IS CALLED FOR - there will usually be a minimum of a 48-72 hour delay. This allows a sit-down team discussion on response strategy for best effect, and even enough time to 'get permission' or instruction from a formal chain of command.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) In the NG example 1) above, it will often ALSO be seen that bigger guns are drawn and fired after the same 48-72 hours delay - the team approach in play. This is especially true when the targeted truth seeker or their comments are considered more important with respect to potential to reveal truth. Thus, a serious truth sayer will be attacked twice for the same sin.&lt;br /&gt;I close with the first paragraph of the introduction to my unpublished book, Fatal Rebirth:&lt;br /&gt;Truth cannot live on a diet of secrets, withering within entangled lies. Freedom cannot live on a diet of lies, surrendering to the veil of oppression. The human spirit cannot live on a diet of oppression, becoming subservient in the end to the will of evil. God, as truth incarnate, will not long let stand a world devoted to such evil. Therefore, let us have the truth and freedom our spirits require... or let us die seeking these things, for without them, we shall surely and justly perish in an evil world.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6028946688413166831-4185681083307569417?l=thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/feeds/4185681083307569417/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/2009/07/built-upon-thirteen-techniques-for.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6028946688413166831/posts/default/4185681083307569417'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6028946688413166831/posts/default/4185681083307569417'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/2009/07/built-upon-thirteen-techniques-for.html' title='25 Rules of Disinformation'/><author><name>-matt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17768824109359229304</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028946688413166831.post-3084151283269023428</id><published>2009-05-07T22:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-07T22:58:09.508-07:00</updated><title type='text'>News Giant Rupert Murdoch says the end of the internet is coming</title><content type='html'>Billionaire media mogul &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_Murdoch"&gt;Rupert Murdoch&lt;/a&gt; gave a strange response when asked about plans for mainstream news websites to charge for content, declaring, “The current days of the internet will soon be over.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was making reference to the fact that corporate media websites cannot continue to survive under their current failing business model.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The establishment media is dying and advertising revenue has plummeted as people turn to blogs and the alternative media for their news in an environment of corporate lies and spin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This has forced sectors of the corporate media to charge the dwindling number of loyal readers they have left for news content, a practice which is set to become widespread according to Murdoch. This will only send more people over to the alternative media as the old organs of de facto state-controlled propaganda wither and die.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Asked whether he envisaged fees at his British papers such as the Times, the Sunday Times, the Sun and the News of the World, (Murdoch) replied: “We’re absolutely looking at that,” &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/may/07/rupert-murdoch-charging-websites"&gt;reports the Guardian&lt;/a&gt;. “Taking questions on a conference call with reporters and analysts, he said that moves could begin “within the next 12 months‚” adding: “The current days of the internet will soon be over.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Murdoch’s newspapers and TV networks, which include Fox News and the Asian Star Network, have seen profits plummet from $216m to just $7m year-on-year. MySpace.com is also floundering despite a recent move to replace the company’s entire management staff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was all but over for the Boston Globe this week, following a threat to close the 137-year-old publication after net losses of $85 million this year alone. &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/may/06/boston-globe-saved"&gt;Only a last minute cost-cutting agreement&lt;/a&gt; on behalf of its owner, The New York Times Company, and The Boston Newspaper Guild, saved the newspaper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it’s not just establishment newspapers that are struggling to survive - social networking websites like &lt;a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/youtube-is-losing-money-hand-over-fist-says-credit-suisse-as-is-twitter.html"&gt;Twitter and corporate online video giant You Tube are also deep in the red&lt;/a&gt;. Apparently, paying out millions in server fees for half the population of the planet to watch clips of cute puppies isn’t a sustainable business model.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is why You Tube is being forced to pursue lucrative partnerships with giant production studios and broadcasters, at the expense of user generated content which has been relegated to a sub-section of its website, taking the “You” out of You Tube altogether. &lt;a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/you-tube-in-egregious-censorship-of-alex-jones-channel.html"&gt;Content that may be deemed harmful to You Tube’s corporate agenda and its multi-million dollar partnership deals, like The Alex Jones Channel, is being systematically erased from You Tube’s website under the pretext of flimsy copyright infringement claims.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The jig is up for the corporate media. If they continue to allow free access to their content they will go out of business because there’s not enough advertising revenue coming in, whereas if they charge for content they will lose a huge chunk of their audience and their influence in shaping the news agenda will wane completely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the price the corporate media has paid for lying, spinning and obfuscating on behalf of the virulently corrupt power elite and expecting the population to eat it up without question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The corporate media monopoly has terminal cancer and they are losing their power, which is why &lt;a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/june2008/061208_pull_plug.htm"&gt;they are aggressively supporting moves to phase out the old Internet altogether and replace it with “Internet 2&lt;/a&gt;,” a highly regulated and controlled electronic Berlin wall, where alternative voices will be silenced and giant corporate propaganda organs will dominate once again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This what Murdoch is really getting at when he assures us that, “The Internet will soon be over” and it’s down to us to stop that agenda from being realized.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6028946688413166831-3084151283269023428?l=thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/feeds/3084151283269023428/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/2009/05/news-giant-rupert-murdoch-says-end-of.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6028946688413166831/posts/default/3084151283269023428'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6028946688413166831/posts/default/3084151283269023428'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/2009/05/news-giant-rupert-murdoch-says-end-of.html' title='News Giant Rupert Murdoch says the end of the internet is coming'/><author><name>-matt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17768824109359229304</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028946688413166831.post-5370213142609262194</id><published>2009-04-24T21:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-10T11:57:22.229-07:00</updated><title type='text'>What is going on with the Federal Reserve?</title><content type='html'>When Morpheus and Neo meet, Morpheus offers Neo two pills. The red pill will answer the question "what is the Matrix?" (by removing him from it) and the blue pill simply for life to carry on as before. As Neo reaches for the red pill Morpheus warns Neo "Remember, all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here we are in modern day America and I offer all of you the same option. Take the blue pill and go on with your day to day. Take the red, and you'll never see things the same way again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a corruption going on in America that started back in 1913. It's called the Federal Reserve and it is about as "Federal" as Federal Express. It's a privately owned banking system run by some very rich people. Sound crazy? yes, that was my first impression too. To fully understand what has taken place in our country, it can take a lot of research hours, which I highly recommend you doing. However, to try and give everyone the fastest start that I can, I'm gonna link to some very good videos and all of them you can watch online. The Federal Government has some really big explaining to do...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, did you know that the income tax is illegal? It's true. the constitution protects us from an income tax. In fact, our Supreme court ruled it to be illegal yet it is still in effect. I highly recommend watching the following film on the IRS and the income tax.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1656880303867390173"&gt;http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1656880303867390173&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that your a little freaked out, let's learn a little more about the beginning of the federal reserve and how it came into effect. The meetings were held in a place called Jekyll Island. The conspiracy started here...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6507136891691870450"&gt;http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6507136891691870450&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The author of the first video (Aaron Russo) has passed away. He DID however record an interview before he passed away. He explains a few more things so I highly suggest watching it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5420753830426590918"&gt;http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5420753830426590918&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a quick side video, (you will find MANY if you look hard enough) listen to Alan Greenspan admit to the fact that they answer to no one... Simply ridiculous I know!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol3mEe8TH7w"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol3mEe8TH7w&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One more. I highly recommend not watching this until you have seen the others but nevertheless, I feel it is important to watch this. It explains the agenda of what is going on and what is ahead of us. If you are an Obama fan, I promise you this is not a Republican vs Democrat issue. In fact it slams Bush too. Bare with the video, you'll see why by the end. It is more important to see the info provided than to take offence to the title. This I promise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, so now you have a really good start. Go out there and use the Internet to your advantage. LEARN about what is going on. The facts are readily available to those looking for answers. Remember, while the info contained here is fact, there is a lot of mis-information out there. I recommend you investigate everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For news and other information, check out:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.infowars.com%20%20/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.patriotnewsnetwork.org/"&gt;http://www.patriotnewsnetwork.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I forewarn that a lot of these things may sound crazy, but as with the above videos, and everything you hear, RESEARCH. It is easy to just dismiss something without looking into the claims... You'll see what I mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The very enemy our forefathers fought against is still very much alive. Please educate yourselves and let the truth be told...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6028946688413166831-5370213142609262194?l=thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/feeds/5370213142609262194/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/2009/04/matrix-and-federal-reserve.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6028946688413166831/posts/default/5370213142609262194'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6028946688413166831/posts/default/5370213142609262194'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/2009/04/matrix-and-federal-reserve.html' title='What is going on with the Federal Reserve?'/><author><name>-matt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17768824109359229304</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028946688413166831.post-410254095940633608</id><published>2009-04-16T04:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-23T05:53:12.112-07:00</updated><title type='text'>citizenship is not an entitlement program.</title><content type='html'>Definition of Entitlement: Belief that one is deserving of or entitled to certain privileges&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmm.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Citizenship is not an entitlement program.

Guess what America? You are a-s-l-e-e-p. They are ramming legislation through and no one knows the difference. This is disgusting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Senate last night rubber stamped a nightmare domestic draft bill that legislates mandatory national service and creates an “army” of at least 7 million civilian enforcers working at the the behest of the government, while also containing language that threatens to ban free speech and the right to protest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last week, the House passed the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act, known as the GIVE Act, which was carried with a 321-105 margin vote.&lt;/p&gt;A passage contained in section 6104 of the original House version entitled “Duties,” in subsection B6, states that a commission will be set up to investigate, “Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed.” This language has been dropped from the version passed by the Senate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, Section 120 of the bill discusses the “Youth Engagement Zone Program” and states that “service learning” will be “a mandatory part of the curriculum in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency.” This part remains in the version passed by the Senate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roles which will be staffed by members of the programs, labeled “Required National Service Corps,” include “criminal justice,” “environmental stewardship,” and “public safety”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aside from the programs aimed at college students and young people, others will be specifically targeted towards, “Retired and other former law enforcement, fire, rescue, and emergency personnel, and other individuals with backgrounds in disaster preparedness, relief, and recovery.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bill was rubber stamped by the Senate last night in a 74 to 14 motion, in what is described as a “procedural vote,” a move that creates “An army dispersed to help with education, health services and the environment, (which) would vastly enlarge the notion of “community organizing,” and allow, as Senator Barbara Mikulski, Democrat of Maryland, said tonight, for about 7 million people to be engaged in such work,” reports the New York Times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Senate will meet tomorrow morning to formally ratify the bill and finalize amendments. Call your Senator and demand that at least the mandatory language contained in this bill be removed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;References to the program as the creation of a civilian “army” have dominated mainstream news coverage of the legislation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7 million members of this civilian “army” equates to about one member for every 50 Americans, a similar figure to the number of East Germans who collaborated with the Stasi and informed on their own citizens during the cold war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The GIVE Act is just one of many pieces of legislation that vastly expand service organizations in line with Obama’s agenda to create a “national civilian security force”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In January we also reported on the introduction by the Department of Defense of a “civilian expeditionary workforce” that will see American civilians trained and equipped to deploy overseas in support of worldwide military missions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The DoD report states, “Management retains the authority to direct and assign civilian employees, either voluntarily, involuntarily, or on an unexpected basis to accomplish the DoD mission.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though the civilian expeditionary workforce program is restricted to DoD employees, similar programs have already been established for public sector workers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One such program has seen hundreds of police, firefighters, paramedics and utility workers recently trained and dispatched as “Terrorism Liaison Officers” in Colorado, Arizona and California to watch for “suspicious activity” which is later fed into a secret government database.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Similar initiatives have been introduced in other western countries, including recently in the UK with the announcement that MI5 is currently training up to 60,000 UK citizens as part a civilian network of terrorist spotters, according to Prime Minister Gordon Brown and home secretary, Jacqui Smith.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, Obama’s Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, publicly stated his intention to help create “universal civil defense training” in 2006.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an interview with Ben Smith of the New York Daily News, Emanuel outlined the agenda for military-style training, essentially a domestic draft, aimed at preparing Americans for a chemical or biological terrorist attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asked by Smith about the universal service plan and whether people would have to live in military barracks, Emanuel laughed before responding, “We’re going to have universal civil defense training, somewhere between the ages of 18 to 25 you will do three months of training….but there can be nothing wrong with all Americans having a joint similar experience of what we call civil defense training or civil service in service of the country, in preparation, which will give people a sense of what it means to be an American.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It will be a common experience and we will be prepared, God forbid, God forbid that there is a chemical hit, another terrorist act or natural disaster becoming more frequent - there’ll be a body of citizens who are ready and capable and trained - that’s all you have to think about,” said Emanuel before smugly declaring, “We’re all here for you OK? It’s a circle of love.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asked if the training would be military style, with people wearing uniforms, Emanuel stated, “If you’re worried about are you going to have to do 50 jumping jacks the answer is yes,” adding that the service could be done through state national guard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shockingly, the GIVE legislation also contains language that could completely demolish the 1st amendment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 12th amendment to the act states, “Amendment to prohibit organizations from attempting to influence legislation; organize or engage in protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes; and assist, promote, or deter union organizing.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Gary Wood writes, “Those in support of this legislation will argue this amendment is limited in scope and is not meant to interfere with the rights of citizens to protest, petition, boycott, or strike in resistance to government proposed laws. However, the people associated through service under the GIVE Act are considered volunteers, still free citizens, yet it will be unlawful for them to take part in any protests against any legislation. This is as close to a sedition act, a violation of 1st Amendment rights, as has been proposed in recent history. A basic right as a part of our natural, inalienable rights, is to resist government. Our founders not only knew it was a right but it was a responsibility. This legislation begins to break that down significantly.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fears about Obama’s plans to create involuntary servitude and domestic spy squads were first stoked in July 2008, when Obama told a rally in Colorado Springs, “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that is just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite denials that Obama plans to institute a mandatory program of national service, his original change.gov website stated that Americans would be “required” to complete “50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year”. The text was only later changed to state that Americans would be “encouraged” to undertake such programs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Numerous other national service bills have been introduced which target everyone from schoolchildren to the elderly. They include the Service For All Ages Initiative, the Summer of Service Act, the Semester of Service Act, the Encore Service Act and the ACTION Act.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regarding the GIVE Act, “The bill’s opponents — and there are only a few in Congress — say it could cram ideology down the throats of young “volunteers,” many of whom could be forced into service since the bill creates a “Congressional Commission on Civic Service,” reports Fox.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We contribute our time and money under no government coercion on a scale the rest of the world doesn’t emulate and probably can’t imagine,” said Luke Sheahan, contributing editor for the Family Security Foundation. “The idea that government should order its people to perform acts of charity is contrary to the idea of charity and it removes the responsibility for charity from the people to the government, destroying private initiative.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lee Cary of the conservative American Thinker warns that Obama’s agenda is to, “tap into the already active volunteerism of millions of Americans and recruit them to become cogs in a gigantic government machine grinding out his social re-engineering agenda.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The passage of such shocking legislation with barely a whimper from political activist groups goes to show how well the corporate media has performed in camouflaging the legislation with flowery characterizations of helpful volunteerism, when in reality the bill creates the pretext for mandatory national service and the creation of a multi-million man domestic civil defense unit who will be tasked with spying on their fellow Americans under the justification of protecting the country from terrorism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6028946688413166831-7407303942067681883?l=thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/feeds/7407303942067681883/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/2009/03/legislation-passes-to-create-multi.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6028946688413166831/posts/default/7407303942067681883'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6028946688413166831/posts/default/7407303942067681883'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/2009/03/legislation-passes-to-create-multi.html' title='Legislation passes to create multi-million civilian “army” in line with Obama’s compulsory national service agenda'/><author><name>-matt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17768824109359229304</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028946688413166831.post-1225039019847803721</id><published>2009-03-24T15:36:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-24T15:36:17.434-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Fed’s plan to increase the money supply 15-fold</title><content type='html'>But the real story starts to unfold when you realize the Federal Reserve is now hell bent on multiplying the U.S. money supply by a whopping fifteen times in 2009! This excellent article explains how this number is derived: http://www.marketskeptics.com/2009/…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now think about this: If the Federal Reserve increases the U.S. money supply by a factor of fifteen, that means your dollars will be worth only 1/15th the value they represent right now. So a loaf of bread that costs a dollar right now could cost $15 when all this extra money ripples through the system. (Which will obviously take a couple of years, but 2009 will be the beginning of it.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is called “hyperinflation.” We’re talking about a loss of over 93% of the purchasing power of the dollar. That, my friends, is called a collapse of the currency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And once it starts, the floodgates will be opened and the tsunami of investors and nations offloading dollars will be catastrophic and irreversible. By the time it’s all done, the dollar might end up losing 99.9% of its value, and you can use greenbacks to light a fire or wipe your back side, as they will be useless for anything else.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6028946688413166831-1225039019847803721?l=thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/feeds/1225039019847803721/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/2009/03/feds-plan-to-increase-money-supply-15_1076.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6028946688413166831/posts/default/1225039019847803721'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6028946688413166831/posts/default/1225039019847803721'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/2009/03/feds-plan-to-increase-money-supply-15_1076.html' title='The Fed’s plan to increase the money supply 15-fold'/><author><name>-matt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17768824109359229304</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028946688413166831.post-1777412716390509551</id><published>2009-03-24T15:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-24T18:01:21.190-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Why America’s currency — and government — is headed for total collapse</title><content type='html'>The days of the America as we know it are numbered. This repeated creation of trillions of dollars in new money by the Federal Reserve is the last great looting of the U.S. economy by the wealthy elite. The Titanic is sinking, and high officials have monopolized the life rafts, leaving everyone else to drown with the ship. And while they’re rowing away from the doomed vessel that’s taking on water, they shout back to the low-income workers clinging to the rails, “Don’t worry! The ship isn’t really sinking. It’s just ‘correcting!’”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The truth is that America IS sinking — and it’s not just the currency I’m talking about here: America’s criminal health care system has sickened the population and outlawed any real healing practices, too. Meanwhile, the FDA and FTC have attempted to destroy all knowledge of natural remedies that can prevent and cure disease, further compromising the future of the American People.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the dollars-and-cents side, America’s economy is a fictitious mish-mash of corporations selling poisons to the people, and people buying junk they don’t need, and everybody paying through the nose for disease care services that ultimately provide no net benefit to the population.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America’s infrastructure is crumbling, its industries are already gutted, and its exports resemble third-world agricultural nations more than first-world developed nations. Its political leadership is, with very few exceptions, a band of diseased, ignorant influence peddlers who sell out their constituents at every opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps more importantly, America has abandoned the principle of law. Laws no longer matter in America because they are selectively enforced only against those who threaten powerful institutions or corporations. America is no longer a nation of freedom and justice for all. Rather, it is a nation of greed and profit for the few, followed by oppression and bankruptcy for everybody else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;What’s coming soon for America&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given these circumstances, it is not difficult to predict the demise of America as we know it. The U.S. dollar will eventually collapse or be abandoned. This could happen literally overnight, or it could take years, but make no mistake: The American people will not be forewarned of the collapse of the dollar. It will be a sudden, surprise announcement, and all the politicians and banking elitists who engineered the whole thing will pronounce their “shock” that such a thing could happen! “We could never have predicted this,” they will insist, even while the whole thing was actually engineered by the very same people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day, Americans will wake up and discover that all banks are on “bank holidays” (which means that someone in Washington is taking a holiday with your money while YOU can’t access it).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within hours, the National Guard will roll into the cities of the United States, and Americans will find themselves penniless prisoners in their own country. Anyone who protests will be arrested or shot. Law will be dispensed at the end of military rifles, and the President will get on television and explain how this is all being done for YOUR benefit! It’s for your own safety and protection, didn’t you know?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From here, it’s difficult to say exactly what will unfold. We could see UN troops on U.S. soil, the IMF taking over the U.S. banking system, and the forced transition to a global currency. Other possibilities include the Balkanization of the formerly-united States of America, with regional nation-states declaring their own independence from Washington.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During this chaos, just-in-time delivery of food and products will grind to a halt. Store shelves will be emptied. A healthy economy of barter will immediately spring up to fill the void. Those who have things to trade (toilet paper, butter, salt, sugar, matches, gold, silver, food, fuel, etc.) will eat. Those who don’t will starve. Health will plummet and infectious disease will become a very real threat in many cities. The conventional medical system will, of course, be utterly useless and will run out of medicine within days or weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This economic transition chaos will be short-lived, however, and from the ashes of economic turmoil will spring a new nation (or nations) of People who have finally awakened from their complacency. New governments will be forged, and the fields of economic ruin will be ripe for the planting and sprouting of new ideas from a new generation of visionary leaders.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6028946688413166831-1777412716390509551?l=thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/feeds/1777412716390509551/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/2009/03/why-americas-currency-and-government-is_24.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6028946688413166831/posts/default/1777412716390509551'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6028946688413166831/posts/default/1777412716390509551'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thetruthfulpatriot.blogspot.com/2009/03/why-americas-currency-and-government-is_24.html' title='Why America’s currency — and government — is headed for total collapse'/><author><name>-matt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17768824109359229304</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
